Looks like the virtually non-stop rain has taken its toll. Not a good way to end 10 years.
4 yr olds first find! Grazed her knee but all was worth it in the end. No room left on paper roll. Wrote on the back.

Out and about with swearah and stephyy this afternoon to grab a few smileys in the area. Stephyy made the find here . Tftc Aladdin Sane 56 ️
Time for a couple more with jodsta83 and Stephyy before we head home after a long day. Stephyy found this while I was completely on the wrong side.
Thanks for the cache, Aladdin Sane 56

Perseverance and moving heaps of rocks both down the track and back. Finally got it. Wondered why I didn’t see it on the first pass. TFTC
Took a little while, and some help from a couple passing by. Had to look through a few rocks.
We unfortunately didn’t find this one
Was very disappointed
We will hopefully find it next time

Took a lot longer than it should have to get this one in hand.
Hint not too accurate.
Bruce spotted it and then you wonder how you missed it

Aladdin Sane 56 I found your cache The Path to Acacia Park on 3/3/2023, 4:10 pm. This is my find 4805 and find # 16 today. Found it as per the hint. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Out and about with Duppers today instead of yesterday due to the storm.
We started our search for this one and narrowed down our search to a particular spot only to find it a little further away from where the hint suggested.
Another quickish find by Duppers.

Shazzar66 and I walked here from the previous cache we found, and on the way we read the details and the hint. We started looking and after a few minutes, I decided to sit to sift through the rocks. Planted myself down, looked up, and there was the cache. So obvious! How did we miss it in the first place?? Once you see it, you can’t un-see it. TFTC
Today, I joined [arewethere?](https://coord.info/PR2J301) for a paddle down Bald Hills Creek to target a few newly published geocaches. On route to our kayak departure, I stopped and completed [Osprey House Environment Center](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/159f0b8a-7014-4e7e-b077-a968dbb7bfa4) Adventure Lab. It was a thoroughly enjoyable kayak experience, and such a terrific creek! Following the kayak, I took a stop at a few geocaches in Murrumba Downs before heading home via the shops with lunch.
This was quite the tricky cache indeed! This geocache felt more in the 2.0-2.5 Difficulty territory, but maybe this has increased given all the leaves and lack of discolouration on the path, which has meant that the hint isn't the most helpful. I had suspected what this cache type was, and it was then a matter of time and diligent searching, and eventually after 5-10 min, I located the well-hidden cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Aladdin Sane 56 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Heading home from an appointment I realised there were several caches within about 10 minutes that I hadn't found, so off I trekked to do so. Parking nearby I wandered to the GZ and was amazed that I never knew this place was here despite living in the area most of my life.
Parking very nearby I approached GZ according to the coordinates and was immediately attacked by a swarm of mozzies! Holy moly there were a lot! A quick look around and I wasn't sure which side of the path I needed to be on, and couldn't focus my geosenses due to the bitey bities! So, back to the car I went so that I could focus a little better and think about what I was looking for. With the recent storms creating a perfect breeding ground for the bities, and the loud thunder that was moving quickly my way, I knew I didn't have too much time to spare.
Confident I knew what I was now looking for and where it should roughly be located, I headed back to tackle the bities. A search around for a few minutes I found myself frustrated and yelling 'this is crazy - I'm done for today!'. Just as I began to walk off I thought 'I'll just check that spot'....and aha! There was the sneaky little cache. Fending off the increasing number of bities and incoming rain, I signed the log and returned it all to where it was. Running back to the car I escaped just as the storm hit and the rain thundered down.
Thanks for the adventure!

Thanks for the cache. A nice spot and a fun find. Found whilst on a work trip up from Sydney. Beautiful place. Tftc!
Very tricky hide! The concrete is no longer a different colour. Found a small snake nearby
I am a little out of practice with these kind of hides. Once you see it you won’t unsee it!
I managed to locate it before the mozzies carried me away. Thanks for the cache
Very quick find. Out with master57 and HallisJKB. Zip lock bag is broken so log is wet. TFTC!
Holly stayed over at her friends last night, so after I'd picked her up, she kindly looked after the car whilst I whilst I went looking for the cache. I spotted this one straightway 
Thanks!!

After a lovely morning spent out on water
attending the 4 Mile Creek Bird watching Event, E_Smiley and myself decided to find a few land based caches before we went our separate ways.
Quick enough find, log signed and on our merry way.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Aladdin Sane 56.

I love this area to cache in. This was a nice quick find. Thanks Aladdin Sane 56
I’ve never been in this area before so thanks for bringing me to enjoy these lovely surrounds. Cache spotted quickly here. TFTC Aladdin Sane 56
Out and about getting a few caches and found a park a short walk away, I though it was going to be harder but I just seemed to be lucky and soon was returning cache to where i found it. TFTC
Out and about with Geopup Bella this afternoon seeking out a couple of caches after work.
It took me a while to find this but I go there in the end.
Log signed, cache replaced as found.

Oooh wasn’t feeling good with the DNFs, but it’s here guys. No pen so got photo of logbook. Good luck!
Cache replaced. Looks like people have taken to removing the rocks for their own purposes. There is about a third left of what was there when I placed the cache.
Out and about after attempting unsuccessfully to get in to see my doctor. I needed this little cache to raise my spirits. TFTC. A clever little hide.
After a morning of domestic chores and caravan shopping, I found a few hours to get out and find a few caches. This cache had me for a minute and then I realised that the cache title was the best clue.
Found in good knick.
