Needs maintenance

Reluctant dnf just ran out of time 2 look any more.
Maybe when next in the area.

I was fishing nearby and thought I would revosit an earlier find.
Have found this cache over 3 years ago and can remember what it looked like but can't locate today?
Worth checking Chrayley

This was our second visit to this one. We had clambered all over the tree previously and this time started to as well. Luckily I was at a certain level and happened to glance at the direction of cache's hiding and spied it, else this would have been a loooong search again. Not at all where I expected it to be hidden but a really good spot considering the number of people who do climb this tree. FP awarded.

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Jemillalucy, Lisylou and Bennyboppers). TFTC!

Very sneeky Out with Lisylou mnance101 and jemilucy for a weekend at maroochy

Found with bennyboppers, jemillalucy and mnance101 today. Took a few minutes to spot this little cache. Tftc

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oioioi. Weekend away with the Tough Mothers. Great hide. Tftc

Yay! Second attempt at this one. Great camo.. TFTC

Tftc! Really tricky to find! Aussie Rob has a keen eye. Unable to sign the log though as we forgot our pen!

Found with a great bunch of paddling buddies. Everyone had their own kayaks but stairman1 and I share 1. That so I do all the hard work and he sits at the back and steers. We decide to start the day at sparrow fart and hit the right tide. All good here.

Out for a paddle with a great group of fellow paddlers. SeffNJarah, Swellerfungus & LadySim and half of JeznDez with her new water craft. Took a little to spot this one but with so many eyes on this spot it had to show itself.
TFTC

With the nearby location being our launching and berthing point for the day, it would have been foolish not to find this cache while we were here. With the kayaks all loaded aboard the cars we nearly forgot about our task here. the group set about looking for the cache and it proved troublesome to find the well concealed cache but victory was our and a final log book signed for the day. TFTC

Out with newly-weds the Golden Stairs, SeffNJarah, Swellerfungus & LadySim for a beautiful and not-especially-peaceful-paddle.

Having parked and launched from here to do the series, we obviously had to look for this cache. We had a quick look on initially getting back to the cars, then got distracted by the business of getting our very muddy yaks (and selves!) up the bank and onto the cars, and nearly forgot it. Even with all of us clambering over GZ it still took us a few minutes to find this well-disgused cache. Camo on this one is great, TFTC

Found this quite quickly thanks to previous clues. Nice hide! TFTC

Made this one so much harder than it should have been - I climbed while geowife found the cache at a MUCH lower point. Not sure if it was meant to be there but we signed the log and returned as found. Deserves a favourite point for the container. TFTC Chrayley

//Second Australian cache away from France for me. Found quickly even with this super camouflage. TFTC

Oooh crafty. Tried my climbing skills while my wife stayed below and read logs. She had the right idea when she spotted it. Tftc

Rolling up to GZ by bike,
I quickly found the specimen in question upon which the cache was hiding
I hate climbing trees

Lucky for me this turned out to be an easy climb,
and I 'accidentaly' found the cache before I headed out too far over the waters below

#4418. I flew over to Brisbane yesterday from New Zealand and after a days caching down by Strathpine, I drove up to Caloundra for the night. Was looking at what caches could I do today and spotted the Crazy aircraft power trail. After doing that I stopped here. I checked the right object initially but didn't spot the cache so searched more widely. Then googled the hint to see what it was. Back I went and after about one minute I spied the nicely concealed cache. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for hiding the cache here Chrayley.

Up for the Dunethin Rock Event today, but first a morning paddle with IolantheK, Brother Colin, Jess & Caro up the creek Creek.

A most pleasant paddle collecting as we went.
TFTC Chrayley

Out and about today with IolantheK, T-tech and Jess&Caro.
We launched the kayaks from here for our morning paddle.
A short search before spotting this one.
Thanks for the cache.

I am at Dunethin Rock for the weekend to attend seirra1's event this afternoon, and this morning T-Tech, Brother Colin, Jess & Caro and I are taking a jaunt up Paynter's Creek.

Brother Colin went to fetch this cache while the rest of us got the kayaks ready. A good start to our day. TFTC, Chrayley.

Out for a paddle and a wander to find some caches while camping nearby for the event this weekend. Set off with IolantheK, T-Tech, and Brother Colin and found this one first before getting on the water. Thanks for the cache

Wednesday. Slow Puncture was out for a spin up to the coast today, with one specific cache in mind, and thereafter for some randoms.

We pulled up next to GZ and searched and searched. Hmmm, we wondered how far out one might have to venture? We looked at what we thought was every possible spot but still came up empty. We also noted there have been a number of DNFs. Last log was a find. It's a mystery. Just when all seemed lost, Mr SP found it - in a place we were both not really expecting!

This was the 2nd of 5 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Chrayley***, for showing us this place.

Searched high and low for this one. Even had a hint from a friend. Nothing!!!
Nice spot for a fish all the same.

I came here twice before and was hampered in my search and rescue mission by a constant stream of muggies both on the water and off [:(!]. While doing a maintenance run on the crazy flying machine trail, I thought I would stop by here and give it another go. Sure enough, as soon as I walked up to Melaleuca quinquenervia I laid eyes on something that was a little off. It turned out to be the little booger. Nice work on the camo [^]. Cache almost took a dive when I was replacing it . Log was completely chockas and I happened to have a replacement log with me so I swapped it out. Nice hide Chrayley .

Had a good look but no luck.

Found OK

3 of us looking and a PAF failed to reveal the cache. Call is it is gone.

Just one more, I said, and so we pulled up here!

Six eyes searching for this cache and up and down and round and round. Looks like this cache has left the nest

MM

On our way to the Geocaching event at Widgee, Rhobocacher and I had chosen a few caches to stop off at.
This one was a bonus one for me as we were almost here and Rho said oh there's a cache just up here.
I got up into the tree and sat there for a bit looking around and then Rho found the cache in a different location to where she'd found it previously.

Teamed up with CDAH55, Butterpie94 and Dora the Explorer! today to head up the creek and get some caches. This one we got before we set off as we launched not far from this one. Nice hide.

TFTC

Log like

I had just obtained a new Kayak and thought that this part of the river system would be a good place to break it in.

Coolumroo, Dora the Explorer!,Butterpie94 and I met up to attack the series of caches in this area. This was the first cache on the list and after determining what tree the hint referred to, it was not too long before the cache was in hand.

The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache replaced where we thought it should go. The initial find was on the ground.

Find #725

TFTC ***Chrayley***

Quick easy find. Nice cammo

With Solving4X. Nice hide!

Found it...need new lot very good hide...took us awhile

This was a well hidden cache and great spot for a visit. TFTC.

Bit worried that we had to go canoeing but no just climbing thank goodness geo daughter happy to monkey up after I spotted it neat one does need new log though

On our way to an event with Waz & Vik we had some time to kill, dropped in see if we could collect this eyes from. Together we soon had this in the bag. Needs new paper we squeezed our names on the side. My first tree climbing one and I left the kids at home, they will be jealous!!!! TFTC!

Looks like a very nice place for a fish or paddle. Creative hide. TFTC

Needs more paper for recording log

Ready to find!

Out for a paddle day on the Sunny Coast with a specific goal of collecting T5's in order to qualify for a certain challenge. My targets for the day were the Maroochy River and the Coolum, Paynters, Eudlo and Currimundi Creeks.

Found before starting the paddle. Nice spot, all good here

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #2580. Thanks **Chrayley** for showing us this spot. Discover our code TGQNRV, and mention where you saw it.

Cache is still there and in good condition. We found this cache before we set off on our canoe run up the creek.

Thanks

You should take off the disability as the cache is well and safe and in good condition and we had an easy find,good cache then on up the river.TFTC.Chrayley

I'd say the previous finder didn't in fact find it. The cache is in good condition and there's still room for plenty more log. Thanks and cheers from Browngang

I think we found it ? Looks like it has been pulled apart and no log

We'll have to check on the status of this one and make sure it's still in good condition.

Great hide in clear view

No luck searching from the water, then I read some previous logs and realised it was time to stretch the legs. Cache all good, nice hide, another fave coming for your efforts. Thank you Chrayley...now where are these other ones?

Easy

Found it. Awesome lil cache with Daron.Baker

Needs a new log. Found a spot to scribble on though

Great camouflage! Log needs updating... TFTC

Jemm'n'I found after looking at the wrong spot for a while. But very clever cache.

Needs a new log

Good hide!

Nice one. Geoboy gives this one a favourite point.

Great little cache. Should have walked to it but.
TFTC

Must have fluked it as i was able to quickly spot from the ground.
A simple climb and my name was in the log.
Log is very full

Another nice find today while caching around the area with Just-Lookin.

SL Thanks for the fun!

Enjoying exploring this part of the country with tmann421 collecting caches along the way. Many thanks to all the COs for making this such a memorable trip.

TFTC

We set off today to discover some waterbound caches on the kayak. We recently acquired a double kayak, so I could finally convince J to come with me for a paddle.
As we were surveying the creek banks for the best launching spot, we checked out this location. One melaleuca stood out and before long the well camouflaged cache was in hand. A bit tricky to retrieve to sign and had to get J who is a tiny bit taller to replace it.
Clever construction and great location.

About to give up n came back to car to rehash n give it another go hubby instincts were right in the beginning he just needed to go a lil further up. Well done in camouflage.

I had left this one until after my paddle this morning. The road was quite busy when I arrived, and it was much quieter by the time I got back.

I had a fairly good idea of where to look for the cache and I was soon heading in the right direction. I did not spot it straight away though.

A nice little hide

Last time that I was in this area I had run out of time to find this one, but I found myself going through here today with a bit of time to grab it before going Christmas shopping. I looked around a bit and then had a bit of a read of the history of this cache. I soon knew what to do and look for and there it was safe and sound. A nice idea Chrayley, thanks for the fun.

Turns out this was to be my last stop for the day. I still had a resonable amount of day light left, however still had to get to my hotel as well as pickup a few supplies for the days ahead.

So I stopped in here, and took a little look around, wondering just how far I would have to go for this one. I went out a bit but could not see anything and then had a bit of a look around some other options, before taking a look at the logs.

Now one comment stood out and I put it to good use and ahh yes soon the container showed itself. I retrieved the log and got my name added before returning it to hiding spot.

TFTC

A weekend of canoeing sure leads to some sore arms. Net88 and I were paddling all over the Sunshine Coast and having just cleared out Paynters Creek we arrived back at the bank behind the bus stop. The tide had dropped appreciably so lifting the Kangaroo out of the water and back onto the bank was a struggle with floppy arms. It was hauled up the hill and then lifted to head height onto the car. Then the ropes were tied tight and we hopped in so I could drive the manual car. Ouch.

Then we recalled this geocache nearby. Yeah, best we grab that one! A few dozen fathoms we rolled forward and parked again. A fisherman was close, but hardly about to pay us any attention. The hiding area was obvious, but the exact spot eluded us for a while. I did the monkey thing while Net did the turkey thing. Despite much looking about and a lot of logs read out, we couldn't work out where it could be and such an easy find as suggested.

Eventually though I looked along the right vector and spotted it. Gee! How did we miss that‽‽ I plucked it out and we signed the log. It was replaced as we found it and we agreed it could not be unseen and wasn't that hard to spot in the first place. Cest la vie. TFTC Chrayley

Will you be at the.. [url=http://coord.info/GC4X31B]GC4X31B[/url] [url=http://qldmega.com]Queensland Geocaching Mega-Event - Stanthorpe 2015![/url]

Captain Terror and I had just finished the series along the creek and after putting the canoe back on the roof of the Rolla we decided to walk down and grab this one. There was a guy fishing a short distance away but he didn't even glance at us as we approached. The Captain jumped up into the tree and started searching, and searching, and searching.

We were wondering how it was taking us so long since no one said the find was overly difficult. Then we spotted it. How the bloody hell did we miss that? Once it was seen you couldn't miss it. The Captain signed our names in the logbook and the container was replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Chrayley.

Out and about today in search of 25 caches all with differing D/T ratings after missing a cache nearby I needed to add another one. We were planning on coming here later this week for the caches up the creek but for now I needed to include this one in my 25 . Arriving at GZ I made sure I was going in the right direction and after taking the first step in the right direction I was wondering how much further I would need to go. Not much further at all there it was right there staring at. Easy find and TFTC Chrayley

Headed down to Paynters Creek with Liz and Bruce, to pick up the caches in the area.
This was a well camouflaged cache, which we managed to spot quickly.
Enjoyed the hunt.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Chrayley, for us and others to find.

What a wonderful area to cache in. Loved finding this cache. [^][^] Thanks to Chrayley.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Just had to grab this cache while I was in the area paddling with Nyssa!!

Thanks Sierra1 for your assistance!!

(Just realised I hadn't logged it yet!)

TFTC!

Lol

One of my favourite ways to have to find a cache and a lovely little spot to stop. Thanks for bringing me here, I found the cache quickly when I thought it may take a longer search.

Thanks for the cache Chrayley

Very clever

Out with a couple of friends hired a boat for the day to do a bit of fishing then decided to check to see what caches were around and introduced a few more people to caching one of the guys in the boat then noticed in the area I was looking quick grab and sign and first find for him tftc

Found with jjjml a bit of to and frowing but the old hand was up to it

great hide, with m@m@. Worth the climb.

Fount it!

This cache has a few of my favourite things in caching, water, trees, a cool hide. We did a few out on the water and thought we better get this one, especially since I parked the ute 9m off GZ. I used to use the boat ramp on the other side years ago, but was saddened to see I could not get down there today because of road work performed.
All good with this cache, and for some reason it is a favourite, probably because of the hide.

Stopped to grab this as I drove by. Took a little while, wasn't were I expected it to be. Great hide TFTC

While the boys were tying the canoes back on, I ducked down here to quickly grab this, accompanied by us3scouts. I found it quickly and knew exactly how to retrieve. Watched on by us3scouts, the cache was grabbed and signed all in time to be picked up and head back to wash the mud off
Thanks Chrayley, a great day out indeed

Nice and hard in the dark!! Had to google the clue!!! About to give up, but we read the climbing a tree comment below!! We found it straight away then!! Went with rollaB and jackam!! TFTC!!

Out with previous finders of this cache.
Took 3 times to find this one.
Cache blindness.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Chrayley All good with this cache

Found at 1006 with friends. Took A bit to find but 1 of my caching buddies for the day manage to get to it. TFTC.

TFTC

Turned up to this one and there were people fishing so we left it and went for a paddle to get the others nearby. Upon return no one was around, after a short search cache was n hand.
TFTC

OK things always look different in the daylight than in the moonlight. Looked for this one for ages once before but it was not in the tree we thought it was in. Found it this time! Thanks for the cache Chrayley.

Have looked for this one before at night when it was first published with no success. Thought we would try again after a weekend away at Stanthorpe and sure enough the cache was soon in hand. Tricky one Chrayley. TFTC

We parked the car nearby and while Mr Just a Trifle was sussing out the area for the best spot to launch the kayak, Mrs Just a Trifle set about locating the prize. It didn't take long and the log was signed in a flash and we headed off for our little paddle. Thank you for having placed the cache Chrayley

To wet to blind couldn't find will look on a fine day.

TFTC What a fantastic hide. Didn't find it this morning but had an extra 1 hour to spare do heading back to this cache luckily one of us has sharp eyes thanks to Sue. TNLNSL

With Hamish heroes and 4 travelling buds. We
Knew this would be difficult because I had told them how hard Chrayley's cache Sea breeze was. Tried to think like Chrayley but no luck on this occasion. Thanks anyway will be back.

TFTC, after logging a DNF on this one early this morning, we decided to have another look before we dropped Linda ( Hamish Heroes )off home.Just about to give up again when Sue(4 travelling buds) says !could that be it! Oh yes I say!. Another absolutely clever camo job from Chrayley. You are very clever people and really think about blending cache into the environment.Thank you again. TNLNSL

Well Kezza(of team mickezza had told us how hard his was going to be, having had all sorts of trouble with your other cache Sea breeze. Well she wasn't wrong, we just couldn't,t find. Thanks anyway. Will be back.
