Thanks for the side quest! Did a quick walk past during my lunch break unfortunately didnt come prepared with a scribble stick so will message photo to you for verification
In dire need of owners attention!!!!! absolutely soaked not able to write and was also just chilling on o the floor. put back where we thought it belonged
With Tokerau who was all prepared ! I told her it was an addiction to carry all those tools around ! New logged book and accompanied plastic bag to fit . Walah !
Absolutely waterlogged logbook nice location though and great bowls club - checked that out too while here tftc
Found on a post lunch walk. The log is soaked. We signed the best we could. TFTC
Found it quickly nice scenic location.Not exactly camoed.Log was very wet did manage to sign it after drying it out a bit.Thanks for cache.
eriicamurphy has informed me that I have forgotten to log this one. TFTC!
Out and about with the family on kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard with the goal of scoping out some distances for the water-based caches later this week. This one seemed like a great spot to stop in. Apart from the extremely militant ants defending the location, this was a quick and muggle free retrieval and signing of the fresh new log. Very nice place to stop and reflect!
Logging this one as found though the log book is completely saturated.Sending photo proof of a find.
Nice easy find on this one. Not too many muggles around made it a quick grab.TFTC.
It was nice to be away from the traffic for a spell. Clearly everyone wants to be at Mooloolaba when there is a chance the sun might break out.There must been a quick torrential downpour this morning because we almost needed gumboots to reach this cache. Our shoes got a bit wet and then a bit wetter as we made our way to the playground for a swing. tftc
We were asked to house sit at the Sunny Coast for the Australia Day weekend so that a German exchange student could stay home to meet other international students. Considering a long time ago I signed a cache with the challenge of 555 sunny coast caches and I have only 83....I thought this would be an opportunity to get a few more towards my goal. With two puppies and two children and extreme humidity and then rain, I didn't get as many as I would have liked to, but there are a few more in my list now. Quick find. Log was damp but I could still sign it. How nice it would be to have your own beach on your doorstep... although not sure I would be comfortable with swimming in the river.
After another lovely evening at the Caloundra music festival enjoying,Spiderbait, 1927 and arrested development it was our last morning on the coast. Packed up the van and headed to Moffat for a big breaky and then off for. Spot of caching.Found a suitable spot to park the car and took a short stroll to ground zero where it did not take long ro spy the prize. Extracted the log and signed my name for prosperity, returning the cache to its safe hiding place before returning to the geowagon . Ready to head to the next find.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found by fellow cachersCheers
Found at 3:27 PM GAFF1. A big event going on at the bowls club and very vocal as well! We were expecting something quite tricky for a D3.0, but on arrival at GZ we found the cache straight away as it was totally exposed. The tricky part was to unravel the log sheets that were all screwed up and jammed into the tube Thanks to Wesso Family
Found jsut as wet were about to leave found with cousin (another amazing find by p4ged )
Little chance of muggles as the footpath is closed for roadworks in Brisbane Road. Picked this up on an afternoon wander whilst spending a week in Mooloolaba - TFTC
Arrived smoothly with the kayak, quickly checked the surroundings and logged this one completely undisturbed on a nice Saturday afternoon!
We decided to head up to the Sunny Coast to grab some Adventure Labs and caches to bump up our numbers for this months challenge. Who knew 100 Adventure Labs and caches would be this challenging.
Muggles had taken over GZ but that didn’t stop us from making our way over. Once there they didn’t stick around for long which meant we could commence our search. After a quick search we had the cache in hand and did some CITO while there.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Great spot - sadly paper too wet to sign. I’ve taken a photo of cache…. to show I found it. Tftc!
The logbook is soked, but still fine to write on. Muggles in the bowlo only caring about their balls so it was as easy find. Tftc!
Tftc!!! This marks our 100th FIND!!! cache is very damp though, needs maintenance
Found in a lovely park. Lucky the container is watertight. It was floating with all the recent rain, but the log was dry. TFTC
Found and logged. After a few days rain it was found floating in its location, but dry inside.
Wesso Family I found your cache My Folks #2 on 17/6/2022, 1:05 pm. This is my find 3534 and find # 8 today. A quick and easy find. Logbook soaked, placed a piece of paper to sign. Needs some TLC. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled north to Peregian Beach to attend [E's Community Celebration Event](https://coord.info/GC8K1N5). We next took a walk around the beach town with assistance from the newly published *Visit The Beach - Peregian Beach* Adventure Lab, before then travelling south to Mooloolaba for lunch at The Wharf. We then took a drive around to Point Cartwright and completed the rest of our Sunshine Coast adventure with a walk around the headland completing *Zara's Walk* Adventure Lab and a Location for *Oh, the places we'll go!".
With some available time while baby Warren was sleeping the back seat, we took a quick stop here for this cache. It's always nice to learn more about the past of The X-Trailers. After walking to the correct tree, the cache was a reasonably quick find despite the incorrect description hint (micro container with camo placed above ground level?). The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook was quite wet and saturated, and difficult to extract. Thanks The X-Trailers for the cache placement, and Wesso Family for its ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A planned weekend trip up to the sunshine coast to grab a few caches. I still need a few more to get me closer to that sunshine coast challenge. The trip worked in well for the Sunday morning CITO event in Coolum.
I meet up with Esmiley and we spent Saturday, day and night, caching areas that neither of us had been to before. We were not certain if the recent rains and floods would have effected any of the caches but we gave it a shot.
We first of hit the Sippy Downs area and we had some fun. Many of the caches here took much longer than they should have; we spent way too much time trying to find simple caches. We then moved towards the north, working our way to Coolum however, time ran out and we had to stop for the day. It seemed as though the day was getting hotter as it went on and got even worse during the night.
Thanks to all the CO’s for the caches, some I kept notes on, some were just great caches and some I really do not understand why. We signed all logs with both names and replaced as we found them.

Thanks - it was in the first place I looked but didn’t see it (can’t believe it)
After wandering around for 5 mins and saw it straightaway.
Couldn’t get the bag out wedged in tight
Happy New Year

Hubby found this one quickly. Retrieved log and managed to sign even though it's damp. TFTC
This one was hiding in water and had a lot of ants around it. The log was a bit damp but is able to be signed. Thanks for this one
Out for a quick tour on the bike. Some ALs to do and some caches to find.
Too early and/or too cold for the bowlers this morning.
Nice easy one thanks.

Nice easy one thanks.
Blissfully free of observers, but the contents of the cache have expanded in the moisture, making them difficult to remove and sign!
But of all my wet weather woes, this has probably been the least bother

As I am often in this area visiting a friend I thought I would try to tackle some of the caches around here with some free time this afternoon.
Heading back toward home I thought I would make this one my last for the day. Knowing that I couldn't park on the main road, I foolishly parked on the other side of the main road to where I needed to be. Not a bad walk, but trying to cross the road with the lights that never seem to turn red proved to be the hardest challenge of this cache.
Eventually making my way across, I headed into the lovely little park. Following the coords I headed right to the GZ and made my way to where I thought the cache would be. Lots of muggles at the Bowls Club and across the canal, but not too many in the canal (they too were on the other side of the main road). I was able to sneakily grab the cache from its hiding place, take a seat with my coffee and enjoy the scenery while signing the log casually and returning it to its hiding place without too much challenge.
Beautiful location, thanks for bringing me here.

Made sure I was out of sight of the muggle sitting on their verandah across the canal. Thanks for the cache
Lovely spot.tftc . Glad I had my tweezers with me to get the log out. Greetings from Cairns
First cache for the day found nice and quickly. Log signed and replaced and we’re on our way again. TFTC
What an absolutely beautiful place for this cache! Very quiet here this morning I took the cache to the nearby seat to sign and just enjoy the moment. All good here, log signed and replaced as found. Thanks Wesso Family. A fav for the location!
Great spot no muggles today just a couple of youngsters in canoes having fun on the river. Bring some sort of extraction tool to remove the log. Tftc
Another day out caching in this beautiful part of the sunny coast with hatzofff, RoddyC, E_Smiley and grannysmith1947.
Quick find was enjoyed here but took longer to remove the scrunched up log, all good with the cache now.

I've invited myself to join RoddyC's group while they are in my new territory. Lol
Easy find but difficult retrieval due to some old logs jammed in the cache.
Thanks for the cache and taking us here The X-Trailers/Wesso Family.

Wow! That was the easiest "D3" ever! Hasn't been found since Sep, but quite exposed & damp, so signed & given some cover when I left. T4TC
The Esky family were headed to Mooloolaba for a few days. While Mr E was with the younger two Esky boys who wanted to go swimming at the beach - crazy!!! - and the oldest was in the unit in a zoom meeting for Uni...I decided to do some caching. All quiet in this area today enabling a quick find. TFTC X-Trailers & Wesso Family for maintaining.
Nice easy find this morning in a quiet little spot. Log a little damp but ok. Tftc
Having done the nearby whereigo we headed over here. What a pleasant little park. All good here. TFTC.
Nice chill drunken stroll. Loving the balmy evening breeze. Shame about the bike! Tftc
Found nice and easy. Hole where cache is hidden is full of water and log was damp. Dried off log at GZ and placed back. Dipped TB "Crazy Ham". TYFTC.
After dropping the mother-in-law at a doctor's appointment nearby, geo-hubby WallabyTim and I looked for a nearby cache...day one of the latest souvenir was a bonus. Log book damp and mouldy at this stage but we were in a different car and didn't have supplies sorry! TFTC is a pretty location
Staying in a hostel near by, so of course have to do some geocaching! Pretty quick and easy find. TFTC!
Arrived to near by hostel and took a walk to surroundings. Stopped here for a quick find, tftc!
Mr Beetle waited with the van while I walked across to this one. Lots of muggles playing bowls nearby and I was tempted to call out the Hi nan and pop thing but I refrained from confusing them.
A quick find at GZ and a very lengthy signing by the last finder - almost a log entry.
Thanks, nice houses across the water too. Think I would only move here if I could have a waterfront place. Better buy a tattslotto ticket!!!

Not a great start to the day. We looked in the obvious location then the not so obvious.
I love this spot. I walked through here a couple of days ago before I checked where the Caches were so decided to grab this one on my early morning walk. Hoping to find a few more before we head back to Melbourne tomorrow.
