Out with NurseyJulie, picking up a few caches. We parked the car and wandered along a nicely mowed area to GZ. Once there, we searched fruitlessly for a considerable amount of time. We then resorted to reading previous logs. It seems this cache is missing. Could the CO please check on it. Thanks
Might be time for the CO to see if the cache is still there. DNF for us today.
Not sure the cache still exists considering the last time it was found was many months ago. Owner, please confirm the cache is still here.
Not sure why we tried to find this one - with such an uninspiring description from the CO and a previous DNF. We will add our DNF to this list, but don't think we will be back to try again.
No luck for us today.
We could see the recent rains had created a flood right through GZ so maybe it floated away.

Found eventually, the coords were a bit off, well according my phone and my gps anyway. First we were on the wrong side then we were on the right side but in the wrong area. I ended up PAF and then I located it.
The device inside doesn't seem to buzz anymore.

I was in the area today to visit the nearby Tafe so of course I had to do a few caches nearby to make the trip worthwhile.
When I first parked nearby I had decided I would do another cache a little further away first. However I couldn't find a way to get to it so I came back to do this one. Getting to this one also showed me the route to the next one .
I started off looking on the wrong side for this one, but after a few minutes I stopped and looked around and thought 'I wonder..'. sure enough there it was, all is good here.

Coords were not spot on, but after a short search I was able to make the find. Dropped off TB. Thanks sunshinecacher93.
Hmm. Turned off here to aviod traffic and frustration but only found more. GPS told me to Climb into a Creek and on reading prior logs it seems this is a multi cache marked wrong. DNF the first cache. Clue would be nice given the terrain could be ankle breaking. TFTC... I guess.
My GPS was really off.on this cache however we found it with a bit of family teamwork. Awesome find. With first time Cachers Hatz Whanau.
I cpm out this way once s fortnight to pickup or drop off my daughter. Had a few minutes to spare today. Swapped a TB. Thanks
TFTC. GPS out a bit today. Likely place no 2 spotted and there it was. Dropped TBS Signal &Thrupenny
dNf. Today is not our day. Will have to try again another day when we have our geo eyes on
After an intensive search throughout the scrub land we were triumphant and the joy was just terrific.
Today I up Strathpine way finding a cache or three.
And particularly, a nearby challenge cache up there.
After that I found a few more up that way.
But now it is time to head home, but not before finding a few more caches. [^] Will I ever get home. [?]
I searched and searched but could not find 'step 1'. But I did find 'Step 2'. lol
I am sure it was just a case of cache blindness but maybe the CO should check things out.
Thanks for the cache.

This afternoon Net88 and I decided to head out and head a little bit north for a few geocache finds. Seeing neither of us had found this one, we headed for it first. After finding a good spot to park the Subaru we followed the grass in towards GZ. Naturally we went about it a bit wrong and had to walk further than necessary, but we were soon at the right spot. I started looking about where the GPSr indicated and quickly had the cache in hand. Inside however, no logbook, but a clue for a second stage? I don't profess to be a geocaching expert, but I'm pretty sure when a cache has multiple stages, it should be listed as a multicache or a mystery. A quick read of the guidelines will support this claim. I see it has been noted by previous finders and the fact must have been well hidden from the reviewers too.
So inside there was no co-ordinates, just a 'tool' to get us there, which really means it should be listed as a mystery type cache. I have seen this type of set-up before and it is nice to see this little bit of difference to other styles of getting between stages (sucks if you're not as keen with the senses as some of us). We operated the mechanism and it led us not too far away, but far enough away that the logbook is NOT at the posted co-ordinates. Net spotted it first and while I dashed back to get a pen from the car, she found a pencil inside the container. That'd be right! So then, oddly for a traditional we reset all as found and headed back to the car and off to the next find. TFTC sunshinecacher93

Late start for Captain Terror and myself today with our first cache not being until close to 1330. We had met with a few cachers last night for a drink or two and we deserved a well earned sleep in. We had a look at the map and saw this area held caches for both of us so we jumped in the subaru and headed over.
We parked the car and headed over to this one. I had heard about this cache and was interested in checking it out. This isn't the first of this kind I have found but definitely the easiest. We found the original container easily and soon were hunting for the second one. A hilarious moment soon happened when the Captain claimed he could hear the cache but wasn't sure which direction. I laughed and suggested down. The cache was planted safely between his feet
We grabbed the container and realised our pen was back in the car. The captain headed off to grab it and I opened the container... to find a pencil inside ... whoops I signed our names and replaced both containers as found before heading down the path to meet back up with the Captain. Thanks for the cache sunshinecacher93

Work got canceled on me this afternoon, so I headed out to grab a few caches. I continued bush bashing from my last find and soon arrived at GZ. I thought I had the cache, but turns out there's an extra step here [^] Very neatly done. TFTC, sunshinecacher93.
I took an almost direct route from the bush bash cache and stumbled and tripped over the humps and hollows and finally emerged to find the cache easily.
I signed the log and took the easy way back to the car.

Still trying to clean up our local smilies so after short visit to shops travelled home via a couple of caches.
Found the first part easily but must need to go to the buzz doctor as could not get a buzz from it. Wandered around using geo instinct and discovered the cache with the log. Tested everything and all still in order.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:08pm. Our best co-ords were: 233 and 068. The cache took some time to find as it was not where we looked first. TFTC
An easy find this morning close to home but I too, believe that this one should be labelled as a multi. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Out for a Sunday spin on the geocycle - I took a punt on how to approach this cache. Seems I was right by the bush bash method could well have been a possible option as well
Out trying to make a few more smiley friends on my caching map.
This one popped up recently and was in my sights. Approach was fine as most muggles weren't up at this early hour thus making the approach far more pleasant.
Container and contents all in good order though felt that this should have been a multi-cache given its appearance.

at 15:18 after parking on the wrong side of the creek and a consequent long walk.
TFTC Sunshinecacher93. Everything about the cache is fine.

A quick half afternoon of caching with Angela saw LJCC driving and Angela navigating. Searching involved both of us crashing through various locations! I have looked at Angela's write up and it covers it well
I got such a buzz out of this I am awarding a fave point. I have appreciated many caches since I started doing this, but this is the first time a cache has made me openly laugh.
Good work!

When I found the first container I knew exactly what this one was about Now, where have I seen a cache like this before?? Did the deed and quickly found the cache Not sure what will happen if it rains, but a great cache nonetheless TFTC.
We came, we buzzed and we found it . Quick and easy find . All is good with this cache . Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH sunshinecacher93 .
Up early thanks to the neighbour's dog, so decided to buzz on over to Bald Hills on the way to the city (yeah I know, backwards, but you know ...). Walked on over to very close to this cache and decided that work clothing was not acceptable, so walked the wrong way around to plan B, and then back again for Plan C. Right, at GZ I started a short search and was quickly knocking on the front door of a new smilie.
Thanks for placing this cache, sunshinecacher93. Found in good condition.

I set off down the concrete path and there was a raucous noise to greet me from the neighbouring dogs so I made off across the grass.
Soon made my way to GZ and quickly made a find.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks sunshinecacher93 All good with this cache

Went for this one all the wrong way, no not here, must be there!!! Oh easy when one uses a GPS.
Thanks sunshinecacher93 for the cache.

Should learn to trust my instincts. Instincts said here but GPSr said there. Of course checked there first, but instincts were correct.

Out and about for my cache of the day. Once at GZ I found something rather odd. Hmmm, looking back and after talking to another finder, I get it! Forehead slap! I don't think I found this cache properly But I did find the cache, signed the log and replaced as found.

Nice easy find - found the buzzer first and thought I might have been at a crime scene, lol. Day 20 of 31 days of geocaching. TFTC
Off this morning before my morning coffee *urgh* to gather my cache de jour. This one was close enough to home and was found easily enough once I switched my search point. Almost stood in a dog egg, but apart from that did not get the clue at all. tftc sunshinecacher93

had just finished work and was walking to my car checking emails when i saw this published.
send mum and dad a message saying i'm heading to the new cache. get a message back saying they are as well.
nice quick find once the gps settled down

*FTF* @ 1453 with barbbowman and bubba_89.
Laying at home about to have my nanna nap, when Barb says that there is a new listing real close.
Load co-ords and set off. On way get a message from geo-daughter who has just finished work, that she is on her way as well.
Arrive at GZ and approach from wrong side. After sorting that out, soon locate cache with a nice clean logbook.
Duties done and cache replaced, then took time to work out the clue. Think we have it.
