Time to put this one to sleep. After 10 years its gone astray .

Three ppl looking for it and none of us could find it. Either we suck or its not there haha

Shone a torch in every gap in brickwork and didn't see anything

I'm over from NZ for a few weeks to escape the winter weather and visit relatives. Have managed to find lots of 'must get' Geocache, like a 2002 and 2004 placed cache, which are getting harder and harder to find. There are Challenge cache for each year from 2001 to 2011. *That Was the Year 2002 (Mini Jasmer Challenge) GC9N3ER etc. Interestingly one qualifies for quite a few without really trying if one has a few Geocache under the belt.

Start of six I want to find today

Found on floor broken container, put back in a hole. Spiders

I am with Smallwombat and Sunshine58 and they knew the cathe and confirmed that the catche is missing. So Sunshine58 put a replacement in same spot.

Dropped by here for a look today and couldn't refind it.Have replaced at gz with a slightly larger container.

I'm new to this whole thing. After looking through all of the photos and comments, I couldn't find it.

lots of spiders but after looking in the location we thought it’s a DNF from us

A quick easy find here today, I had a similar find in Melbourne, Victoria, which had lots of DNFs on it, as searchers were thinking it to be hidden rubbish, Thanks, samdoggy0901, all in good condition here today

Okay, so the day started at 6am so that we could catch a few caches to help the geo-dad (Cliff5009) fill in a few holes in his Hidden Dates chart.
A bit of a drive up Bruce Highway early on a spring morning, during the school holidays, so traffic was not too bad.
So this was cache 9 for the day.
Walked on from last cache, and now working on bonus caches for the day.
Signed log and moved on to next one.
Thank you very much for placing this cache.

Quick find at the GZ.
Tftc

While going in search of a puzzle, I had parked nearby, so I couldn’t leave without finding this cache. Fairly quick find, helped to be quicker by doing a bit of research. TFTC

Today we visited the Sunny Coast to clean up some more caches.

This cache was in good condition, though it was quite tricky to retrieve it. A fav point for the awesome container!

TFTC samdoggy0901

Out with TBU1Bikesu for same more smilies. Tftc samdoggy0901

Tricky

We originally started our wander around the lake from this point but there was a muggle at GZ so we bypassed it and decided to return when we got back to the car. Puzzled over the hint but decided we knew what to look for, and not long after, we had the cache spotted. Wedged in tightly so just unscrewed to access the log. Thanks samdoggy0901

samdoggy0901 I found your cache BOTTLENECK on 19/4/2022, 1:30 pm. This is my find 3378 and find # 7 today. After a brief search soon had CIH. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Yeeeee

This is such a lovely spot and nice hide!
TFTC

9 year old daughter found this one. There's a cacher back home in Northern Ireland who hides caches like these so guessed from all the clues what we were looking for. TFTC

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 around the area and then 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.

This was a fun cache thanks

Fun day with chamad aiming to get 150 caches to qualify for the Sunshine Coast Challenge . Picking up caches from Sippy Downs, went south to Meridan Plains, clear out  DNFs in Currimundi and finishing up at Foote Sanctuary area.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here samdoggy0901. Easy find by chamad.

Found it! First cache ever!!!!

Popped by here for a looksee.

All good.

TFTC.

Definitely needs to be inspected by CO. Waterlogged log and the container was just lying there. Tried my best to dry off the log and replaced best I could without just dropping it on the ground where I found it.

Very cool container. Happy Hunting.

After a long day hiking at Mt Boulder, I kindly dropped off small wombat to his house.
I ate my dinner here, a spinach feta roll from the service station.
Wombat made the quick find for me, while I ate.
I signed the log, finished my dinner, talk a bit more to wombat then headed on home.
Nice park/ area here.
Tftc

Really cool spot.

Later

A nice spot here although the ground is a bit boggy. Container was wedged in tight. Thanks for the cache

All I’ve wanted to do all week was mow the yard. I’ve also thought that maybe I would be better off expending my effort through the week winning the lotto but the grass just won’t stop growing.

I take a bit of pride in having a lawn that makes retirees in the street salivate. I see them out in their yards all week working hard on their grass, sweating bullets and giving everyone that will listen their commentary on society through casual racism and sexism. So knowing I have not been able to mow because it is so wet means that the elderly neighbours will soon be over to tell me about it while they complain about politicians and how musicians in their day did need to show cleavage to make a hit song.

I was reminded of this when I saw the long grass in this park. I was reminded it of it further when I stepped in some hidden water as we approached GZ. I was reminded of it even furtherer when Mrs Woodyrothwell laughed at me like I know the neighbours back home were doing. tftc

Love it

Up the Sunshine Coast on what was forecast as a full on rain event day. Seems this area didn't get the memo today. After a fun filled morning riding our fat bikes from Coolum to Sunshine Beach I decided to drop in an clear a few caches in this area fro the afternoon.

- an enjoyable therapeutic experience.

My passion for hunting is non existant. I might just about spend as much time looking as the difficulty rating. Maybe, sometimes not even that long.

Almost a DNF here. I had an idea of what to look for, but not exactly where. The GPSr kept leading me in the same direction and on the second lap I spotted this nicely hidden cache.

Got the clue when we found the cache but beautiful and quite spot tftc

TFTC smile7512 out and about withHatzoff RoddyC snickersallan and miss Millie geo dog great time was had plenty of laughing and plenty of looking

Visiting this lovely district from the Gold Coast with geo friends hatzofff, RoddyC and grannysmith 1947.
Loving caching in this awesome well planned out area, simply beautiful.

Having an extended weekend away with grannysmith1947, Snickersallan, RoddyC to get some more smiles in the area.

Ceŕtainly not a quick find. Replaced log.

Having collected the puzzle Binary, parked the car close by this one and the DT was interesting enough to go have a look before sojourning for lunch. Walked around the obvious structure before spotting the hide. Couldn't extract the container so left insitu and extracted the log for signing. Cheers samdoggy0901.

Last one and near our parking spot so headed over for a hunt. The clues were baffling but geosenses worked and we were both surprised! Great hide. Could not extract so untwisted, signed and sealed! TFTC

A sweet hide️

Hooray with DeafVW

Good one
Thanks

12:21:00 PM. Got to the area and the hint meant nothing to us until we founf the cache. Log signed and our geopup got a rest. She wasn't pulling so hard now. Thanks for the cache samdoggy0901

Up on the Sunshine Coast grabbing a few caches with Selva Girls and CuriousQuest. We pick up 22 caches for the day. We had lots of fun today. Sorry for the generic post. TFTC. *3816* Finds

Out for a day of caching with Brislions and Mr CuriousQuest. This one took longer to access the log than it did to find the cache. Eventually, we were able to add our names to the log. TFTC.

Out and about with Selva Girls and Brislions today. A quick find was made here. We signed the log and replace the cache as found. TFTC

Got this one a while back but didn't log it (for no reason at all)! Interesting one. How'd it get there?! Quick find on both occassions. TFTC

After stopping here for an impromptu lunch before battling the Bruce Hwy home.

Quick little find.

Tftc.

Tigey

Took a bit to find. But here it is. TYFTC.

GeoWife was very pleased to find this just before the sun set over the water. Very picturesque location. TFTC

Now I think I understand the hint! Lovely location and muggle free on this afternoon's georun. TFTC

Found just when I was about to give up. All good with this cache. TYFTC

Nice little park area. Quick find, just what I expected! Tftc

Tuesday. Out for some caching with Mr OC and he said he had been here before but couldn’t spot this little blighter. After receiving some intel, we had a good idea of what to look for . We soon had the cache in hand and log was signed. Great cache container!

This was the 6th of 11 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***samdoggy0901***, for showing us this place.

Spent the day up the coast, out and about with Slow Puncture grabbing a bunch of solved new puzzles, and other caches along the way.

I had a DNF here last time, as I had checked everywhere but there. SP admired the container, so I showed her some that I had made, which now are kept in the car as spares.

Log signed at 10:52 and cache returned as found. Thanks for the smilie **samdoggy0901**. This log is trackable, mention where you saw it.

A nice quick find here with 1minniemoo and nyssaflutterby.

Another pretty location for a geocache. Found with wombles and 1MinnieMoo without a hassle.

Thanks for the cache samdoggy0901

24/7/19 11:59 am Find #2612
Wacky Wednesday with NyssaFlutterby and wombles and co, in search of Sunny Coast gems. Wandering over here wombles made a quick find of the cache, but needed my nimble fingers to extract it from its spot.
Thanks for the cache samdoggy0901.

Nice and quiet here today container was jammed in a bit we needed a tool to move it out. Log signed ok. TFTC

I had about 10 minutes before I was due at USC for something, so thought I'd smash a quick geo in the vicinity. This one hasn't been found for almost half a year so I had my doubts but it was a relatively easy find at an extremely quiet GZ. Log in okay shape too! Thanks for the cache, samdoggy0901.

On the way back to Brisbane from visiting relatives at peregian beach I decided to drop in and find this cache. No one around and once I found the cache I realised what the hint meant. What a beautiful spot. Thankyou for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Often pass by on my walks and had a general idea where it was. So today I brought a pen with me and with no one around it was found quickly. TFTC

We knew from the title and hint what to look for but ran out of time searching.

Lovely spot. TFTC

This was really good one. Had me going for awhile. Make sure you look all around the area. GPS bit off. But really nice location. Tftc

Grabbing this one between rain showers as we found the cache the sky opened up quickly signed and dashed back to the car tftc

The clue is not apparent til you find it....thanks for bringing us to this neat little park.lots of water hen

Wandered around under the trees and disturbed lots of wildlife. Cache was in the last place a looked. Nice container. All is well here. TFTC.

DNF

Nice container - this was a quick find.

No sign of the cache for me today.

Found it

TFTC

Warm, sunny no work day and run up the coast with RhoBoCacher.

This cache container was a first for me.

Ocw Heather321 today and when we got here it took a couple mins of studying the surroundings and the hint and it all clicked I then told Heather321 what we were looking for as I have seen a couple of these caches before. Once you have found it the hint and title make perfect sense. We did spend longer than expected at this one as we had a little gps bounce but once we got close we did a bit of inspecting and got it in the end. TFTC

A delightful peaceful place for me to take a break from my day at Uni. TFTC.

Found it while out for a walk. Thanks.

Nice place. Did not have pen to write in log book. TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Found it!

Time to get the Geojet going again and grab a few caches in the Sippy Downs area, which is an area I had not cached in. A nice pleasant afternoon to get out and about and this was one of my smileys for the day. A clever hide and a nice little park. Visited a TB. TFTC samdoggy0901

Out for the day on the Sunshine Coast with Brother Colin.

A bit of searching and BC made the find. Nicely hidden. TFTC, samdoggy0901.

Today, IolantheK and myself, have planned a BIG day geocaching around the Sunshine Coast finding LOTS of them.
We had our first find around 6:30 am and our last find was about 6:00 pm with approximately 50 finds.
With both of us having cached around here before we sometimes had the case of this cache is for me and that cache is for you.
A bit of a search here before spotting the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Found

Tricky find. Clue was obvious once we found it. Tftc.

Nice find

Tftc nice easy find awesome spot near the water

got it. clever little cache.

Found it awesome hide although I had to contend with the mower man and get my timing right to retrieve

Found it but unable to extract from its possie. Great location and hide. Well done . Tftc

Lucky ElkeSunflower300 is here another find thanks to her. TFTC

That was easy enough, I had a gut feeling that I was on the wrong side and feeling lazy didn't want to walk to the correct side, so did a bit of bush bashing... and bingo!

A quick drive by but beware of the little black ants that were swarming in anticipation of the coming rain from another East coast low

First ever geocache! Had a little trouble at first cause its so small. Sneaky little hideaway!

Took a while to find then a bit longer to wiggle it out of its hidey hole. Good cache.
TFTC

Very clever hide- tftc

Found it! Took a while and had to use a clue but we got there, our third geocache

Found second time round after i knew what i was looking for.
