While camping in Landsborough for a few days with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to get out and try finding a few caches ...
Looked for a while, but too many muggles walking about and using paths to get home.
Oh well a DNF to finish the caching run, not the best way to finish but Scruff & I still had fun.

Cache is definitely not there if it’s a 300 ml container..... CO needs to check
Found this cache some time ago but forgot to log it. Great spot for a picnic. Thanks for the cache
We have a feeling this cache has been taken. Found a homemade bong in a place where we think it should have been (this has now been disposed). This is only our third attempt so not sure of protocol on what to do from here...
Out on the geojet after a couple of wet days to pick up a few caches. This is certainly a lovely park. Happy to report a reasonably quick find. Cache container is damp and log is bit wet but still able to sign it. TFTC Wesso's.
Time for a Wacky Wednesday with teamdfl [^]
We had this area to ourselves which made the searching easier. Eventually teamdfl made the find. TFTC, Wesso Family.

It was nice and quiet down here this afternoon. The shower to clean up after getting all sandy was cool.
We had a bit of a hunt for this one, but not too long.

Had a quick look, then muggles moved in and no amount of patient waiting seemed long enough. Got up to leave and oh i'll just have a quick glance there before i go and what do you know?!
An easy one to end what was fast becoming a frustrating day with caches staying hidden.

Lovely spot, sooo many muggles! Had to wait 10 mins to put the cache back. Nice view waiting though.

Thanks again. Another beautiful spot. The cache was a bit water logged, we dried it out as much as we could without raising attention!
Found this one this morning while out on my bike. After having done several other devious Wesso Family caches I always discount the obvious hiding spots right away. This one though was found quicker than most. TFTC
This is another of the caches that I kept putting off for no reason at all. Zeroed in and soon found the cache. A few jogging muggles and a couple of old ladies that gave me the evil eye, at least I think they did. Tftc Wesso Family
Found last night, the GPS had me in the middle of the 2 structures, so I was lost for a little while, but eventually it drifted to one side and I had the cache.
Thanks Wesso!
Thanks Wesso!
Best day to find this cache? a rainy day!! third visit to this one and this time there wasn't someone sitting right at GZ!! So glad to finally have this cache in hand!
Thanks Wesso Family, very popular spot!

Subtle find with muggles all around. Pays to to have inquisitive looking little GeoKids.
Stacks of muggles around geoson made the find with out trying to look suspicious.
I was out doing a little spot of night Geocaching and this cache was visited tonight whilst hunting under the cloak of darkness. The only issue with caching tonight was the intermittent rain that would always decide to fall as soon as I jumped out of the car. In the end I just gave up trying to avoid the rain... Once your wet, your wet. (Plus, there's no Geocaches in the car!)
This cache really did make me have to utilise my Geo:ninja skills to attempt to go unnoticed whilst hunting in this geo:arena.
Thanks once again Wesso Family. Your cache is in good order.

Wish our shire council put in areas for us ? Been here before - I remember that I didn't find it then, this time there wasn't any muggles and I have found it .

Out for bike ride on this windy day . Found by geo hubby . TFTC wesso. Log is dry container not so. TNLNSL
Found this at 9.30am, very few muggles around.
There are some other small items right near this cache, be careful not to be thrown off the trail by these.
Great find, thanks wesso's.

Don't go there in the morning when everyone seems to take the dog for a walk. Well the view is nice so I just say in the sun and waiting till no one was there and logged as fast as possible.
Nice hide and good to find!
Tftc!!

TFTC! Not a soul insight....beautiful green space with access to beach. Top spot!
On to the island - great park. I remember coming here another time but muggles arrived simultaneously and set up for a picnic and we were too self conscious to try for a search.
This time, the place was deserted and we dove straight into the spiky bush. Quick find without any significant spike wounds.
Enjoyed the nice canal views while signing. Took moustache, left one punch band. Very wet inside though - those sistemas never seem to be waterproof. . Tipped out as much water as possible.

Quick find while driving from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast while on holiday from NZ. TFTC
All dried out with new log book.

Hello Wesso's!
I am sorry to inform you that this cache requires a new log and a bit of tlc as we found it with 300ml of water in it (lid not sealed properly) and the snap-lock bag the same. My guess is that the last finder may have been disturbed by a muggle.
Thanks for your many fun caches ( which, I think, probably make up most of our finds thus far!).

Found it full to the brim with water. Unfortunately the snap-lock bag was also not properly sealed and the log is not at all serviceable. As such, I took a photo of the cache as proof of our find. Watch out for the dog walkers. It is another cache that requires geo-kids to legitimize your presence. Children are naturally curious and nobody questions that. Good fun! Tftc
Found with mountainman on an afternoon of caching. We had tracked down the elusive Mission Impossible only moments earlier.
This is one that played havoc with my colour blindness. I wouldn't have found it without mountain man.
Thanks wesso

#227~ After seeing and stalking spinna76 around the corner, we searched high and low for this and then I had to research where the teenagers had looked. Another wesso find to add to the bounty. TFTC wesso family
Another lovely area, such a tranquil spot, only a few walkers on the track. The cache was found after a bit of a look at something not at all related but had to do a bit of a check in case. No nothing back to business oh here it is!!! Thanks wesso family for the cache.
Out and about with The.3.bears today, this was the first on our list. I think we must have encountered the slowest dog walker in history. He little his little pooch stop to smell just about every blade of grass and then just as he passed out of sight, he turned around to do it all over again
After what seemed an eternity, he finally was out of sight and we grabbed the cache.

On a beautiful warm day at the Sunshine Coast, what else should we do but go caching! We parked close by and walked in towards GZ. Once we got close, Marco saw a tap and said "What does this turn on?" Luckily for him when he turned it on to test it, he was standing just out of the way of the shower that it operated! Once we stopped laughing about that we made a quick find of the cache. TNLNSL TFTC
Neighbour watching our every move when we arrived, took some photos of the beautiful birds of paradise flowers and moved on - we will be back!
I was making the most of the beautiful weather this Anzac Day by going caching with Nyssaflutterby, Egginthesky, Madman04 and mini munchkin when we came across this one last cache. The cache was found using our handy dandy ninja skills Thanks for the cache wesso family
What a lovely day for a spot of caching with great company. Net88, egginthesky, madman04, mini munchkin and myself had all decided to head to the Sunshine Coast and find a few caches along the way.
At GZ some stealth moves were made to retrieve the cache, as the area nearby had a few muggles. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. It was lovely to be able to watch the full moon come up over the water.

What a lovely spot to take in the surrounding waterway. I thought I might need to search a bit without a hint but when the GPS read zero I looked and found the cache right there. Perfect. Thanks wesso family for placing this cache.

Went at 6.30 pm in the dark. Still had to be stealthy as there were plenty of dog walkers about. Thanks wesso family.
Wandered in to the park.
All quiet at GZ.
I scan all the neighbourhood and then get down to business.
Ah there you are.
Signed the log and returned cache to hide.

Off for a ride this morning to blow off some steam. Found this one while out.
I got to GZ, and had to wait for a group of muggles to leave (mum, daughter, two dogs), so took a seat and had a drink while I waited. When they left..., well, it was right where I first looked. Wish they were all that quick!
Thanks wesso family. #249

Thought this one would have been found by now so it was a surprise to turn up and find ourselves in the running for a FTF. Arrived at GZ to find a nice little BBQ spot complete with shelter and beach. After consulting the android app, seirra1 found the cache after a short search. Thanks for the hunt wesso family.
