I have a feeling it's been Muggled. Could the owner please check. I think I found where it should have been but there's nothing there now.
Easier access and a much nicer spot than the other side. Both devices took us to the centre of a clearing. Had a look around but not enough experience to spot a harder to find cache as this one.
Out with dad for Father's Day cleaning up new caches and venturing further from home on the map.
Now I know why I left this one. Haha not a fan of walking long distances as I'm very lazy however thought since we were here we should clear this one off our list. Seems like a nice spot all in all. A few people fishing and a lady walking her cute new puppy. Easy find, the walk was the hardest part hahah thanks.

Out and about today getting a few things done that needed doing.
And on that list is 'find a cache'.
So I headed this way, walked the 400+m to GZ and started searching.
A couple of laps later I finally found the elusive cache.
Easy enough to remove the log with a small stick and soon signed.
Thanks for the cache.

Mrs Mad very excited to find this one especially as Mr Mad had already looked there - yahoo!!!! However despite our best efforts and there not being a tool in sight - AND we didn't have our geocaching tool kit with us - bugger it!!!! So we have not signed the log as none of us could manage to extract it!!!! Sorry!!! Great hide!!!! Loved it!!!!
Lovely walk, and we were lucky to see some dolphins frolicking in the water what a bonus! Nice way to end the afternoon, what a time to smile n b happy! TFTC SL
A lovely stroll this afternoon with a quick find.
Passed a couple of muggles with dogs on the way back.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Sapphire and Ruby All good with this cache

A day out with friends doing some caches around the Tweed. A nice walk beside the river towards GZ and was soon found. Great views of the Tweed Valley and Mt Warning. TFTC
cache find #2211. A nice leisurely stroll to GZ, where we found the cache quickly. Lovely place. TFTC.
Quick and easy find found by Diamonjs. Great little spot down here. TFTC.

Easy find. Hard to remove. We had to craft our own tool. Logged and returned TFTC
Enjoyed the short drive this afternoon from where we are house sitting in Fingal to this awesome spot.
Some great views of the river & luxury homes along the 500 mts walk to the sneaky cache, then spectacular views of Mt Warning on the return trip. Would never have come here without a cache to find. SL TFTC Sapphire & Ruby

Great walk for dogs lots of boats around this morning thanks for taking us there easy find tftc
We have been here 3 times. Each time I have noticed this cache but didn't try it! Don't I feel like a twit? This time having trouble with GPS, it was pouring, I thought oh what the hell and low and behold I found it! My hubby was most impressed with the patience required in the making of this cache. Very well done. Thank you
Took a few laps of the area till I found this one. Really clever hide. The log is now full however and the tool is missing. TFTC.
First find for the day. Nearly sprung by some Fishing Muggles. Took a little while as I hadn't seen one of these containers before...very clever. The extraction tool was a godsend.
Thanks for the great cache Saphjire and Ruby.

After a pleasant walk through the park we enjoyed a Sunday picnic in this lovely spot. We had the cache signed and back in place in no time at all. We were so glad Radnoski had supplied the little tool
Thanks for bringing us to this little park Sapphire and Ruby.

I was visiting the area to join the crowd for the International Geocaching Day Event and to collect a few caches while I was here.
I found the closest parking spot and took the stroll in the lovely warm winter sunshine.
It took me a few passes of the area before I spotted something a bit different and found that it held the log.
TFTC. I don't normally give a micro a favorite point but this area deserves one.

After a bit of looking and reading the previous log I soon had the Cache in hand. This is a great spot to relax so I am writing this log while watching the boats go by. TFTC
Geo Wife and I picked down here today for a super Munzee run and a few caches thrown in.
Geo Wife headed off to start the Munzees while I went for the caches to kill 2 birds with one stone.
Thankfully the weather was fantastic so the walk even though long was still enjoyable.
There was a Pelican in the channel as I strolled towards GZ and a Mut with following Muggle owner greeted me as I walked, luckily they were going in the opposite direction and I had the place to myself.
Luckily I have seen this kind of hide before and soon had the prize in hand.
Thanks for the pleasant walk and nice hide.

Dutch family on vacation... travelling from Melbourne to Cairns. Visiting as many caches as possible on the way... Thanks for this one. TFTC.

Pulled up at the edge of the reserve with geowife and daughter and followed a muggle with his 2 dogs up to the GZ. Quite a cool breeze blowing this afternoon and didn't feel like sitting around too long wairing for the muggle to depart. Fortunately the cache was in the first place I looked and managed to grab without detection. This is the second find in 2 days using this type of container (easy when you have one of these fresh in your mind, although this doesn't allow for the 1 hour+ we spent looking for same type of cache yesterday)!
Lovely spot, well done S&R

What a great walk. The dogs loved it. I'll definitely be bringing them back here. Nowhere to run away to! Great cache hide too.
Had to wait for dog walkers (no sure who is walking who?) to clear. Then soon had the loot, as I have seen this type before.(That helps). Someone had put white foamy stuff all over the nearby picnic table. No a nice thing to do. i suppose they where happy. TFTC Gotcha16
Eureka! Never seen this type of cache before although I had heard of it. Don't the geomuts love this place , they were out in their masses. Their numbers included geomut "Fang" who was out with the solitary muggle there who was a professional dog walker. Actually he knew what I was about when I got to the business end of the operation so he wasn't really a muggle . Wonderful view of Mount Warning and the river. Well done Sapphire and Ruby thanks for a tricky little cache!
Great spot, signed log for us and for earlier visit from aidenkai . Beautiful view of mt warning today.
This was an interesting location and a relatively quick find. We were there in the middle of the afternoon so no sunset for us. I did however take a photo of Mt Warning.
Cache extraction tool has rusted and really should be replaced.

Even though I don't have a geomutt these caches have been placed in such lovely spots. Well done Sapphire and Ruby.
There was certainly no sign of Mt Warning today as it was hiding well behind lots of clouds. I like these areas of the Tweed, you can find some solitude from the tourists as they are obscure to find. the log is getting hard to read, not sure if I was signing over the top of someone else. TFTC
Out with Sweet_bee in the area, we decided to grab this one.
This was a great little walk in toward GZ. There was a boat about 30m off shore near GZ - but thankfully we had an umbrella as cover.
It took a fair bit of looking and swearing, but I eventually came up with the beast. The GPSr seemed to want me to go about 5m further than I had to. The cache is in good condition - but I was unable to sign the log. I had two pens - neither could write on that paper. I pressed my initials into the log and took a photo just as proof of the find (will provide if asked by cache owner).
We re-hid the cache and moseyed on back. I would have thought the difficulty on the cache would be a bit more like a 2.5.
But a good job. Nice cache and nice spot. TFTC Sapphire and Ruby

I found this a few days ago but just got around to logging it. Great cache! Very tricky. TFTC.
Little and pappa geo didnt find this one today. A few muggles to contend with and had to give up. Will be back tomorrow for another go.
This was our first Geocaching adventure!! Although we didn't locate the cache we had a great time exploring the area. Even though we've grown up in the Tweed we never knew this little picnic spot existed until now. We'll be back for a picnic and a second shot at finding the cache...
What a cool find!! it was our first geocaching with Grandad! really nice walk too!! Thank you
We felt a bit naked as we walked to GZ - yes we were fully clothed, we just didn't have the appropriate four legged accessories aka a dog. Never the less it was a nice walk and the area was clear of both human and canine muggles as we commenced the search. Once the cache was in hand two problems emerged - why won't my pen write on the log sheet and how do I curl this tight enough to fit back in in its hidey hole?
Problems resolved and once we returned the container back to the hide, the walk back to the car with its view of Mt Warning was very pleasant. Lots of activity on the river today.
Thanks for the hide Sapphire and Ruby, we pass on best wishes from Hunter and Abbey - our canine nephew and niece who would have loved the place. Must tell their slaves err owners about this spot.

Visiting from Newcastle, house-sitting in Kingscliff, nice area to visit. On the way out I found a dogtag in the carpark with a phone number on it, they didn't know it was missing, drove it to their house in Banora Point and met the "Spoilt" little gal, TFTC The Oompas!! (don't know about the 1/1 rating though)
Found this one at the end of a caching day out with the Herbz and Mr Gap a nice little park with plenty of puppies enjoying their afternoon walks TFTC
We were out on a caching day with Pigwig 2 and Agap 2 down on the south end of the Gold Coast. We really enjoyed driving around this area and have never been down this road before. There were a few dog walking muggles around but we managed to dive for the cache during a lull in the walkers. Absolutely loved the park so another FP from us. TFTC.
Arrived here with Ms Wig and the Herbz. Mr Herbz pointed out how Mt Warning looks like scooby doo.... wow!! I didn't realise this, and I will never look at this Mountain now with out trying to find Scooby!!
It was a great little walk to this one, and there was much discussion as to how well an oyster farm would do in such an area!!
At GZ it appeared the coordinates were a bit out, however there were only so many options and the cache was soon in hand.
Great spot, thanks Sapphire and Ruby.

I was having a bit of Sunday morning drive around the area and this was the last cache before heading North again.
It was great to stretch the legs and go for a bit of a wander.
Part way along I read one of the logs and thought "Do I actually have any tweezers?" and a quick look in the camera bag confirmed that I did.
The cache was found and log retrieved with the tweezers. I had a paper clip and a multi-tool in my bag so cut the paper clip to size bent the end around and put it back in with the log. This may help the next visitors retrieve the log sheet.
Great little spot. Thanks for the cache Sapphire and Ruby. Cheers!

This is a beautiful spot. Had trouble finding the cache as I still had the gps set to route via a vehicle. Soon noticed the error of may ways and made the changes.
Unsure why the previous finders did not sign the log as the cache log is very easy to remove with the piece of wire inside the log?
This one gets a favourite point.

Blimey,here goes another favourite point,thats three caches in a row I've given favourites to,I'm going to run out at this rate.Walking along side the river was lovely.Would have come and signed the log yesterday,but had an FTF elsewhere and I noticed I had been beaten by guess who on this one.First cache I've found placed by a couple of pooches.TFTC.Sapphire and Ruby.
Woo! FTF at 4:52pm. I was at home busy with a job that needed doing when this was published. Oh well, there's always tomorrow to finish a chore but the FTF might be gone by tomorrow, so there was nothing for it but to jump in the car. What a magnificent spot this is!! Just gorgeous!! I enjoyed the walk along the little spit of land to GZ admiring the views. Found the cache and then found I didn't have tweezers with me which would have been handy. Using something else I was able to retrieve the log and sign in first place. Thank you Sapphire and Ruby for bringing me here. I enjoyed the picturesque beauty of the low sun and water reflections with Mt. Warning in the background and enviously watched a houseboat plan to moor for the night. Brought some trackables for a visit as there wasn't room to leave them in the cache.
