We looked high and low lots of people around this area and the hall is used nearly everyday really feel this one has been muggled shame was really excited to find my second one just at the end of my street ... Hope it's found soon
we where in this part of the world for something else today so we thought we would put a smiley face on this one ,looked but could not find maybe the CO could disable this until it is replaced
This cache has been muggled u will be able to find it after the 15th of February ....... Clifford17
W00t read the hint, be wary of the specifics of it I was like I KNOW IT'S HEEERRRREEE then I re read it and went ooohhhh I get it now :p I dropped two treasures grabbed two treasures (me and Cap'n Gabby couldn't decide what we wanted :p so we compromised :p TFTC
Coords a bit off but the hint led me in the right direction. Full of heaps of loot! fantastic Left a fabric woggle. TFTC!
Our first find, yeh!!! The kids and I had a great time looking very lost until we found it. Thanks for the fun!!!
Wow... more than one set meant we felt like clowns looking in the wrong spot... we're not too sharp!
TFTC, and Thanks for the (still windy ) ride casual ChrisO556.

You would think an early morning visit would be muggle free. Oh well as the Scouts say - be prepared (to explain what you are doing). Seems to be a fair number of muggle entries in the log.
I got in contact with Nyssaflutterby to see if she wanted to come caching today, she got in touch with Lady Membsec and soon we were all in spangle and headed off for our last day of caching together before Christmas. Nyssaflutterby was in charge of where we were going today and it soon turned out to be operation clean out Nyssa's map.
I had heard a lot about this cache. I even gave a friend of mine the coordinates on the night it was published, yet I still hadn't grabbed it myself. Today I convinced Nyssaflutterby and Lady membsec to pull over so I could run over and grab the cache. It was in a very obvious location. I didn't even have to bother looking at my gpsr screen. I signed the logbook and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache clifford17

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:54pm. You have to look at the right place to find the cache; haven't you. Co-ords are a bit out for us. The cache is in good condition. TFTC
at 13:32. We found it from the hint rather than the coords.
We dropped of the Ethiopian Wolf TB.
TFTC clifford17. The cache is fine.

Came past this morning and guess what- geo family tree people in.
Kept going to other caches and called back on the way home and peace at last to get this cache.
Found very quickly and grabbed some badges for my badge blanket.
Left TB, Tomtom marble, dragon man, 2 spinners.
TFTC Thanks cilfford17 All good with this cache

I am heading to Clontarf for a Rover reunion picnic.
And just had to find this cache before the event.
The first of a few this morning.
Thanks for the cache.

I thought this one would be easy but no, it eluded me. Co-ords must be slightly off I think. Never mind, there must be a cache somewhere around here. I confess I could not make much sense of the Hint so can't be too surprised. Will have to have another go some time.
Today took our muggle relatives on a drive to Redcliffe and Scarborough and showed them some caching on the way. Tried early in the day but the place was a hive of muggle activity. Drove past on the way home and quickly located through the hint. GPS wanted us somewhere quite different.

Nope. Looked everywhere. A group of dancing muggles were using the hall. Head muggle came and asked me what was I doing. I said it was a treasure hunt game and the scouts had hidden something and I was looking for it. Co-ordinates kept taking me to the tree out the front. Hint made me look around the door no luck. Left. Dancing muggle instructor getting increasingly concerned about me snooping about.
200th find! Woot!
Nice tricky hide for the geokids even though we narrowed down the location pretty well.

Obviously don't know what a GPS is.
Can I help you? No it doesn't matter and I leave.
I am not going to tell them that I want to sign the log in the box you know where.
Could you please let us out of towners know when this place is muggleless
Looks like I will have to come back in the middle of the night with a torch.
Thanks anyway

OUR FIRST EVER FIRST TO FIND YAY !!
After finding out it was published we piled four kids into the car straight away and headed for the cache.It was a nervous and anxious drive as we have been checking twice daily to find out if this cache has been published.Waiting Waiting Waiting.On the drive over we encountered bugs and spiders on the roof of our car but couldn"t stop as we wanted the first to find.A grasshopper even crawled down over the edge of the drivers window and when the window was wound up it soon done a backflip off the car.Kids in the back were like what are we doing? Where are we going? Whats FIRST TO FIND ? We encountered every red light between Deception Bay and Clontarf. AARRGGH !! When we got to the proximity of the cache it was very dark and we navigated the coordinates and soon had the cache in hand and yay excitement set in when we found out we were the FIRST TO FIND WHOOHOO !! thanks for the cache yay.The cache is full of wonderful treasures
Goodluck on your geocaching journey and we look forward to more finds Thanks

Tonight I as out and about flying as I often find myself doing and upon landing at Redcliffe, received a message of a new cache nearby that I may like to grab on my way home. Kudos to Net88 for the heads up
I entered the co-ords into the ever-ready GPSr and made my way to the right place. I parked and noted my GPSr said I had parked on top of GZ. Interesting. I made a phone call to see if the cache had a hint as where I'd parked was not really near anything that could hide a cache - definitely not a large sistema. Right, GPSr in pocket and I headed to the first matching item. No joy - but the light there did come on automatically. Subtle. I tried another area and was blown away when I realised I could see it from some metres away, even with my sub-par torch. Yep, that should last a long time..
I headed over and pulled it out. Three names signed tonight already, one maybe of a muggle or scout. It really is not hard to see from the lawn out front and I wonder a) why it needs to be so close to not only the building, but the front door and b) how long it would last here. My suggestion for the latter is 'not long. I added my name and rehid it where I found it, but tucked it a little bit more out of sight - that might help. I also took a reading with my GPSr and have added the co-ords that worked for me tonight in this log.
Well, that done I gazed once more at my clean map of the Redcliffe peninsula. acknowledged I'd added another smiley to my count and headed off for home - some 45 tired minutes of driving away. TFTC clifford17

Got the heads up on this new cach-stopped off on the way to school with the kids. Great trades!
Found this one after extending GZ quite a bit. Good to see Captain Terror has updated coords for you. After reading the hint and looking in both possible places I finally found the cache.
