No luck today. Council have pruned the trees recently. hopefully it is still there, I will watch to see if anyone else can see what I can't. 
This one had us looking for awhile until we got GPS to settle and get the right tree. Cache was bigger than I expected, signed and replaced. TFTC
Only D1.5? Would be a time consuming search relying on luck more than intelligent searching
enjoying a few days in Townsville on our Geobikes.
very tricky but found after a few minutes.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there MattCNS. We found your cache "Off the Leash - Part 1" at 8:37:00 AM today.
This was our 6th cache find in a caching run of 12 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9816.)
[Blue]
We are trying to log at least one cache every day, so we can add to our streak of "Most Consecutive Days Cached", which we started on New Years Day 2014. Our route today took us to some really wonderful & scenic locations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stroll through the parkland here today.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Out and about today and we realised we needed a cache to fill a '0' on our stats page. The 'Off the leash' caches were the closest so we took a quick detour to park up and grab them.
This cache took a bit longer to find than 'Part 2' but after several minutes we had the cache in hand and the log was signed.

Sitting around home moping, 
so decided to head out and grab this nearby cache. This was actually my second attempt at finding it. The first time, I attracted the attention of some nearby muggles, so moved on. [:(!] Today there was no such problem, as there was nobody in sight. The cache was found quickly and log signed.

Found with MegUA, took us a little while to find, co-ords had us looking in the wrong spot but broader search had the cache found quickly

tftcFound this afternoon with LC85, this one took us a little while before LC's keen eyes spotted this hide. Tftc.
Was going to take the short cut through the field but then spotted THE PLOVERS......ummmm....so took the loong way to get this cache and found it very quickly...signed the long while a resident drove past on his ride on mower towing his tinnie...wow....lol...
Townsville is blessed with so many lovely parks and walking tracks. This is another one and we enjoyed the walk. So pleased the Reluctant Companion had his caching eyes in.

After meeting the COs at #2 I left them to their dog walking duties and headed further up the path. I could see something of a geocachers' trail here and followed it. One of those you just have to get the right angle to spot and after a while I got around the right area and made the find. Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Parked the car 300 metres away and walked. Found the cache and then realised I lost my pen. Jogged back to the car to grab another and then when I reached the GZ again, I found my original scribe on the ground under the cache. Had some good exercise that I thank MattCNS for. SL TFTC
Well - I guess the streak is continuing
and a FTF opportunity is to blame
The notification came through a geoD was unloading the shopping. So a quick pantry restock was had and a dash out the door to GZ followed. We were rewarded with a nice empty log book to boot. [^]
