Wesso's Welcome Aroona, Queensland, Australia
By Team Benders on 27-Apr-13. Waypoint GC49ZGW

Too hard for people to find so they put a maintenance on it if they only look once.
Now they wont find it as I have collected it.
It was under the little tree connected to the concrete pipe and was a little round screw top with a W on each side.
Thanks to everyone who visited

Still no love

Cache can’t be found

Not successful in our search for this one. Thanks Team Benders

Next time

No luck for us today unfortunately.

DNF-looks like someone or something has poked around the area...

Can you do a cache check? TY

Visited cache today and it is still where I left it.
No issues with the cache and left another log page.
Moved the difficulty rating up a bit
Game on.
Have fun!

My second attempt to find this one. I had forgotten that I had been here before until I arrived at GZ. Then the memories came back to me.

Like last time I did a search with no luck. I think I might remember next time I am here.

Xbox2014 Found it

Geo-brother and kidlets had a good look. No luck today. Boo Hoo.

finally after 2 attempts at this 1 i returned with ozi. after a quick battle with the mozzies i resorted back to old logs and found a hint.tftc.

Found it woot so this is the second attempt here and after a bit of a search I was about to give up but grillataktix had a look through the logs while I held onto a tree so the mozzies didn't bail with me and low and behold we got it. Tftc

Goodies & geomutt found it had to look around a bit for this little one.

I used up my allocation of 15 minutes wandering around looking for a needle in a haystack and finally gave up.

Tftc found it ok all is good with the cache.

Way too many locations witha wayward compass. Even junior gave up.

Spent far too long searching for this one. Far too many places to hide a micro.
TFTC

New log in place.
Cache back hidden from sight.
Happy caching

**Smilie #3959**

Watching the weather & trying to decide where to raid today.
Hoping to hit the Sunshine Coast but looking north it didn't look very sunny.
A few words with the Sun God, Mighty Ra, expressing our displeasure seems to have done the trick, the closer we get the more the weather is clearing! LOL ...
Selected Little Mountain & surrounds, filled up the Geo-beast & it was GAME ON!

Parked illegally across the road (not recommended) & dashed across to GZ for a quick find.
The log is just a few loose bits of paper.
Sorry, nothing suitable on me to replace it.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
Not sure if we signed Vegan Cachers or our old name Linden/6?
Oops!

**TFTC Team Benders **

Thanks for the cache.

7457 Cache Found

Tried for a early morning start today but lost almost 30 minutes trying to convince the apprentice Geo Dawg that he had to say at home and keep his sister company he was having none of this and steadfastly refused to budge a inch from his spot onm the front seat, With a little bit of shove and push he was removed from the vehicle muttering under his breath you'll never find them without me. Finally got under way heading to The Little Mountain Brithday Event
Found on the way home from the event, Quick find Nice Cache.

Thanks for the great cache and adventure Team Benders

This Day in Music
1998, American singer and guitarist Carl Wilson from The Beach Boys died aged 51 after a long battle with lung cancer, (Wilson was diagnosed with brain and lung cancer in early 1997). He sang lead vocal on 'God Only Knows', 'Good Vibrations,' and 'I Can Hear Music.' Wilson sang backing vocals on Elton John's 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.'

Found with cjmosterd nice easy find

I've driven past this spot before but didn't have time to stop. Today I parked around the corner and headed back, though sandals were not a great choice of footwear for this terrain. The cache was just where I wanted it to be and all is fine inside so TFTC!

Found with hulioxxx after finding another one close by. All is well here. Lovely piece of bush .TFTC TNLNSL ☺

Found by geodaughter tftf

Found it! Lots of potential other places. Row rob mob was with us!

We found this one unhidden- have re hidden it
Tftc

Coordinates changed from:
S 26° 47.025 E 153° 06.841

Coordinates changed to:
S 26° 47.026 E 153° 06.846

Distance from original: 27.7 feet or 8.5 meters.
Just updating coordinates

So had almost driven past this when I decided to stop. I headed across the road and up into this little corner of bush. Following the GPSr, I soon come to be standing in someone little camp site.

Looking around nothing was coming up at the coords, so I expanded the search a little and soon spotted the corner of something and sure enough the cache was found. Seems if the cache is where it is suppose to be the coords are wrong, my GPSr was reading around 10m out, and I let it sit while I signed the log and replaced and the coords recorded were S26 47.026 E153 06.846.

TFTC

Checked on the cache today and it was back where it was meant to be.
Checked and log was dry.
Added some camo.
All good to go

Coords were being thrown around a bit. Widened our search but couldn't find it. Oh well!

This one was a sheer fluke..... some kids have been playing in the area, building a pretty awesome fort..... cache is not where it's ment to be. .. so i just started walking around and hoping for the best. ... poor cache was lying on the ground in the open..... XWF and i hid the cache next to where we found it so at least it won't be muggled. I'll send you a message via the webpage team benders.

After a lot of 'false starts' today around the Aroona area caches (many caches need Matinence and are continually logged as DNF's) it was great to have a successful find with this cache. Slightly off with the co-ords. But cloud cover and tree cover might not be our friend. Cache was a bit too much in the open. Worried that it could have risked getting muggled. Tried to cover it better (in the same place) first find for the day with EggZachary

Another quickie! Last one before work. Better go and get ready. Eight for today. Tftc

TFTC of course being us we went in the wrong way and then saw a type of path but found it in the end. Thanks teambenders. TNLNSL

Found after. Some searching my phone had us way off, but linda used her sense and found.tftc.tnlnslthanks judy for the hide

TFTC, couldn't find this where our GPS said we should be. Expanded our search and Hamish heroes came up with the goods again. We are all just spectators along for the ride today.tnlnsl

I was sick of sitting around at home using the rain as my excuse for the lack of caching.... I got on my bike amd decided to go regardless rain hail or snow!!

After a quick success at the previous cache I was hoping to keep up the luck... not so the case this took longer than I had hoped... GZ had me 10m off and I read some previous logs to find the correct area, I searched and searched slowly expanding my perimiter... after half an hour I sent a quick text to the friendly CO asking for a hint... I kept searching around and saw something suspicious, I picked it up and found the little hide, signed and replaced and was well on the way to the next one before the CO called to ask how I was going! TFTC Teambenders for this returnvisitbeforefinding cache in the scrub!

Found at 1235.

This took too long to find
Checking previous logs, I was able to narrow the most likely spot to a man made object. After resorting to PAF, I found the cache.
All good

TFTC!

Trying to fit in a little caching during my couple of days on the coast, had this one in mind for some time, so today ventured out. Thanks Team Benders found the cache in good condition a nice idea to dedicate these caches to the prolific hiders of the things we have so much fun looking for.

Well, with our plans to have a milestone cache coincide with our fourth geo-birthday falling foul of higher beings who had other plans for us which distracted us from our goal, I was beginning to feel the need to let loose to take my mind off our woes. When I received a message from IolantheK about one of our missing caches and how she planned on going out to play on a day when I would not be working, I thought what the heck ... I needed the distraction and after meeting up at a convenient point to hook up with IolantheK and Dutchie 1950, we were soon on the Sunshine Coast for a day of play.

Having just found one of Wesso's fine caches, it is easy to see why a dedication cache to the Wesso Family would be placed . The GPS had us searching in a few places, but the cache was soon found and with the log quickly signed we made our way back to the car to head for the next cache on the list. Thank you for having placed the cache Team Benders.

# 387 - Play-day again! This time not only with IolantheK, but Ms JaT joined us for the day, after she'd re-instated a muggled cache for us to be found, so that we could add another smiley to our lists.

The day started as usual at Maccas on the Bribie Island Road where a little yellow car this time was outnumbered by two little red cars! Off we went on our way to Caloundra where there were still a lot of smileys to be gotten...

When found the container looked pretty ordinary to me, but after reading through earlier logs I now know why. Muggles are like mozzies, always around where they are not wanted!

TFTC Team Benders. I too have now enjoyed so many of the Wesso family's caches!

Play day again and this time my companions in crime are Dutchie1950 and Ms Just a Trifle [^] After meeting up at Maccas, we headed north to Caloundra in Bumblebee.

After finding a nearby cache by wesso family, it was a pleasure to see this dedication to them. I too have enjoyed finding many of their caches! This one was a little tricky to find as the GPS was not happy here, but Dutchie made the find. TFTC, Team Benders.

Needed to do some shopping this afternoon, so headed into Caloundra,
and picked up a few caches while in the area.

Tried co-ords supplied by previous finders, but they didn't help us today.
So scanned the area, and looked in a few places where we thought we
would hide a cache, and it was finally located.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Team Benders, for us and others to find.

Found after quite a search, had to read previous log and then widend the area I was looking in. According to my GPS I was 10 meters from GZ. Have posted new coords which might help other cachers. TFTC

#7842. GZ looked distinctly unpromising. After a fruitless search I wondered away from GZ and spotted something interesting next to a man made object, and soon had the cache in hand. A nice little container. Have included my GZ cords. TFTC.

We found a cache about 10m from our GZ, with a new logbook but no cache name included. It wasn't quite what we were expecting but as I see no-one appears to have found the cache since it was replaced, it must be this one.

Think a hint would be helpful as there are lots of places to hide a micro in the bush. TFTC.

After the recent DNFs I was asked by the CO to check out this little baby.

The news is all good.........It's still there!!!

Once I was at GZ it only took a little bit of searching to find the prize, it's all good!!

Cheers Wesso

Searched for 30 mins couldn't find it!

Anzac Day caching trip - ZoolandR reaches 200 finds!

This cache had us wandering all over the site and looking in every hiding place we could find to no avail

Out with Flying Feathers today trying to get my #200 cache..

Sadly this did not help me reach my goal this time.. perhaps it will help me get to #300 if i come back?

GPS was crazy.. we were very confused as to how big/what the container was as it looks like it has been replaced recently.

so frustrating when you don't find them!

No luck here. My GPS never came closer than 7m. It does not like it here. I tried coming in from the power lines but it did not help. I checked some likely spots but came up emptyhanded.

Nope, still can't find this one.... :/ cache blindness perhaps? Oh well... I will wait until others have found it and perhaps I will try again... makes it hard with the massive GPS bounce

New container in place. Please make sure that how you found it is how it is replaced.
Make sure well hidden. Thanks

Will have to go check this one out. Think it has been muggled.

Unfortunately Bedmaker and I didn't have any lick with this one today.

This probably wasn't the best cache to be looking for in quickly fading daylight. We still spent quite a while looking but it eluded us. I'm sure it's there, so not logging a DNF, we will be back!

I am logging as a DNF because that is what I didn't do... no cache for us today but the light was almost gone by this stage and our GPS units were not playing nice either.... this one will have to wait until another trip up here to clear out the area :/

A DNF for us today.
We looked in the likely spot but nothing to be found there or anywhere else around.

Found at 0612. A nice quick find in a quiet parkland. TFTC.

Found with mountainman when we were on a night puzzle raid...this one happened to be very conveniently near a well favourited cache.

After solving all the puzzles around the Caloundra area, I decided to go on a nights adventure and finish them! ooh look this one is close by! Thanks for a easy find! TFTC!

Set out on a great day of caching on the Sunshine Coast with Fasted59 and Barbbowman Weather great and after and early start homed in on the local caches. Nice secluded spot. Cache very clever and almost made it into the collection of one of the team (she had to be restrained!!).
TFTC

I nearly missed this one concentrating on the car GPS while heading to the next. That resulted in us taking the hard way in.

Cache located, log signed. TFTH

out for a day of caching fun on the Sunny Coast with Fast Ed and Membsec

we decided to up the terrain rating on this one and enter a different way

GPS's were bouncing a little
then male membsec found the outer container
and then the inner container
and then finally the log book

lucky i have found out where to purchase the log container or it may have had to come home with me

took a Wesso calling card
left green ribbon

Hi Found it nice quick grab. TFTC

A few circles with the GPS, then I spotted a likely spot!!

Thanks Team Benders

Finally got around to this one close to home. Easy find after short stroll thru the bush. Dropped off Pining for Pax travel bug, hopefully it gets picked up soon and moved on.

#151 @ 11:49am. Stopped off to grab this one while out on a caching excursion. What a special cache.... dedication and design. Well done and TFTC Team Benders

#298 @ 11:49am Out for a day in Caloundra caching. The inner container has made me want one so one more stop and then a refueling stop I'm thinking. Maybe somewhere I can also grab my #300 ~ TFTC Team Benders

Interesting hide - a plumber's special! Found fairly quickly whilst avoiding the barbwire vine, nice little sheoak forest. Took wombat on stick, left white heart. #415 @ 1005. Tftc Team Benders.

Found it

#209~ Looked blind for this one earlier today as my phone had just died. Didn't find it... but after a nearby first to find race tonight with the namesake of this cache we decided to stop in and grab it on the way home. We were nowhere near it today. A map and compass sometimes is necessary. TFTC Team Benders

1519. After doing Wesso's caches most of the morning I was pleased to see Team-benders had Placed a cache in their Honour, Spent a bit of time walking in circles as the GPS calmed down, Finally I spied it,
Then did the extraction and the cache was then extracted from within, Signed and then replaced them all back again, For some reason The subliminal thought of Coffee was needed so it was off the Buy One ! TeamBenders - TFTC TNLN. and a fav point for the theme of the cache..

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Quick find early in the morning.

TFTC

GPS was all over the place, so I put it away and started looking. After a short search cache was in hand. TFTC

We had trouble with the GPS accuracy here but we did find it, SL, TNLN, TFTC

The reception was ideal today and I homed in on the cache from the electricity reserve until I was about 15m away. Nice container and a great tribute to a dedicated caching family. Thanks for providing lots of fun for us Wessos and thanks to Team Benders for the fitting tribute. Well done!

Between illness, interstate trips and visiting friends, it has been a month since we last went caching - so with perfect weather we headed out today to get some more smilies. This one took us so much longer than it should as the GPS had us going around in circles. In the end it was in the obvious spot! We took the Hose Clamp TB and signed the log. TFTC

I think I parked in the wrong place then took the most difficult way to the cache. I had my GPS and phone out but they were sending me around in circles. In the end the cache hide was in a logical place not all that hard to get to, phew. My GPS was still jumping about telling me I was 12 meters away, no wait 6 meters, no no 10 meters, back to 12 meters. Grrr. Luckily I found the cache when I looked at something that caught my eye. Left Harry the TB. Thanks Team Benders. I'm so glad you placed a dedication cache to the wesso family as they are certainly dedicated to Geocaching.

On a solo mission today, out and about on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. I definitely could have done with one of what was in the cache container about this time! A lovely little tribute to a great caching family.

TFTC Team Benders

After parking nearby, we made our way to GZ and it wasn't long before we found the cache. Very decorative! There was more to this one than meets the eye at first. Left TB. Thanks for the cache Team Benders

Quick find with us3scouts today.TFTC Team Benders!

After doing another cache nearby it was another enjoyable stroll into the wet bush for a quick find. Quite an interesting container too and I too felt like a coffee.

TNLNSL

TFTC Team Benders

After meeting Team Benders this morning I was encouraged to seek this one out. Glad I did! Great hide, although I was desperate for a coffee and I thought all my prayers had been answered.....never mind. Wasn't too far to go for the real thing.
TFTC

**FTF** @ 855 hrs

This new cache popped up on our radar last night, and what a surprise we got to see it was dedicated to us!!

We are still newbies and are learning all the time about caching and hide techniques. so to get a cache named in our honour “Wesso’s Welcome” was a real buzz.

Unfortunately we were unable to head out last night, so we were still hoping for a FTF this morning.

I knew there would possibly be a couple of other cachers sniffing around, so I wasn't holding my breath for a FTF.

I had to get the Geokids off to school and had to fly back down the Bruce and hopefully snavel a FTF.

I pulled up just down around the corner from GZ, right behind a familiar blue vehicle…..Mozzafamily!!! [B)]

As I hopped out of the van, I saw Mozza walking towards me, not looking happy! He said, Little Mozza had been there earlier, before school, and after 20 minutes gave up as school time was fast approaching.

Mozza and I made our way towards GZ…..The hard way I must say. I later found an easier way in and out.

Our phone had differing opinions to where this beast was hiding, I put it down to the tree cover.

We both searched a couple of areas for about 5 minutes then I decided to widen my search area.
I checked a couple of different possibilities, with no luck. Mozza was off in another direction doing his best scrub turkey impersonation. [:o)][:o)]

I then spotted a likely location just to my left……..Mmmmmm what have we here. I bellowed out to Mozza those two wonderful words we all like to hear and say…….Found IT!!!

I removed the cache from its hidey hole and removed its lids to find another container inside…………What a fantastic cache design, very impressed!!

I opened the cache to find an empty log book just waiting for our names to go in the *FTF* space at the top of the page.[^]

I then spotted our FTF prize, loved it, thanks Team Benders…..Mozza liked it also, as he drove the real version in England.

We both signed the log and I took a couple of photo’s for my personal collection before replacing the cache back into its nifty hidey hole. [^]

Thank you once again Team Benders for this great cache. We feel very humbled by this special dedication.
We hope we can continue to spread a few more caches around and keep this great game of ours booming on the Sunny Coast.

This cache also deserves one of our favorite points, not just because it's dedicated to us, but also for the time and effort put into the cache container.

*Recommended*


TFTC Team Benders

Went out with geoson this am could not find it so I returned after dropping geokids at school and hot on my heels was the man himself hey Wesso I said here's one dedicated to you buddy so we went looking. Looking around we were careful where we prodded and poked as we are book got a phobia fir snakes and this was that type of area. Fortunately we did not see any but I did let Wesso put his hand down amongst the leaf matter and whoops he found it great cache in a great position congrats Craig this one was for you anyway just happy to be there to see you find it. Tftc

Sadly we are interstate so can not get a FTF on this one
Wesso family certainly have made caching on the Sunshine much more fun and interesting
Worthy of getting a cache put out in honour of them
Thanks Team Benders
