Get Out There! #2 Sippy Downs, Queensland, Australia
By Konie on 08-Aug-14. Waypoint GC5AFNF

Thanks cache owner Konie for your maintenance runs. It is great to see the diligence of CO's to follow-up on the welfare of these cache, as it should be.

Checked. New bag for log.

Finding a carpark was not so easy, but we found one. We walked along this footpath, found the cache and signed the log.Tftc and the maintenance run, Konie

Out and about with TBUBIKESU and muggle brother Siggi to get more smiles .Thanks for the cache Konie

Checked

A little water logged, but found all the same..

with the help of the muggle husband we got it !

I needed to pick up a cache with a particular attribute for a Challenge I’m working on, and this cache was nearby, so of course I needed to find it.

This is an interesting space, between the highway and the Mooloolah River National Park and with a bike path through it. It sort-of feels like a no-man’s land. I walked to the cache, gingerly stepping on the foot high grass, hoping that there weren’t any snakes about. Thankfully there were none that I could see. The hint was spot on, and the cache was located easily. Unfortunately the inside of the cache had a bit of water in it, and the log sheet was wet, due to the fact that the ziplock bag is split/broken.

I was able to sign the log sheet, but I didn’t have a replacement ziplock bag, sorry. Thanks Konie for the cache.

Needs a new ziplock bag to keep the log sheet dry

Bit of bush bashing

Konie I found your cache Get Out There! #2 on 1/6/2022, 2:55 pm. This is my find 3459 and find # 12 today. A quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Well that was an adventure. Unfortunately I wasn’t wearing long pants so I was a little trepidatious about pursuing this cache however happy me had a find today.

Not so easy when geo dog wants to investigate interesting smells in any direction but towards the cache. Finally after a contest of wills, and some compromise, we were able to sign the log. TFTC.

Today is my last day on the sunny coast and I figured I'd try get this trail done before I go. L
Of course I forgot a pen and wasn't able to sign - I hope the attached photo is enough proof!

Contents were a bit soggy so I emptied it out, but the log is pretty dry.

Thank you!

Thanks konie great trail and with the bike on board we were able to get this cache easily.

There are some favourite words in logs that I rarely use but I have to repeat them here; “We found the easy way to the cache on the way out”. I thought that with 30+ metres to go I would take the direct route at it through the long grass.

Long grass no longer worries me. I use enough loud cuss words to scare any snake away although one day I’m sure I will meet one with a hearing impediment. What long grass does do is hide any hidden water and after one step found myself sinking. With only 20 metres to go I was walking through a landmine field and suddenly it was a slow trek.

The cache was then found quickly and so was the easy way in and out. I will still probably continue to take the direct route to caches in the future because those of us with simple minds like everything to be simple. tftc

Another quick find for today. TYFTC

A quick check on my way past.

Found nice and easy. All good with this cache. TYFTC.

Yay found it hard to find thought it was a bottle at first but it was it another one in the books

This was my second last find for today. I have driven past here so many times and had a plan to one day take my bike up here from Brisbane. Today after visiting my mum at buderim hospital I had my bike and loved the ride along this bike track. At gz i saw what the hint might be indicating and yes there is was. The log book was a little bit damp and zip lock bag was broken so I went back through the long grass , stomp,stomp,stomp (just in case of snakes) to put the log book in a nice new zip lock bag. Thanks for all the fun today

Was a little worried about walking through the long grass to get to this. Not quite sure what lurks beneath! Tftc

9:55:00 AM. A nice day for a bike ride and a souvenir. Last time we came past here there was water everywhere. Today was dry and a short walk to find the cache. Cache had a little water in which we drained out. The log is ok but the bag has a hole in it. Being on the bikes we didn't have a spare. Log signed and cache covered. Thanks for the cache Konie

While camping in the area with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to get out and find a few more caches ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

Out and about enjoying a gorgeous winter's day on the sunny coast chasing some caches and solved puzzles to help finish up the final Museum Mystery souvenir.

Log signed at 11:14 and cache returned as found. Thanks for the smilie **Konie**. This log is trackable.

Out with the Geokid. Couldn’t find it at first but Mr Krispy Kreme had a hunch from the hint. Quick find after that. TNLN. TFTC

I was getting out here today trying to find a cache to fill my DT grid. No luck with that one however I did manage to find a couple along the way there.

TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Out with No Tomorrow finding caches in a new area.
Cheers

Cycling the Sunny Coast is definitely the way to find caches
Caching by car around this area is just damn frustrating !! [:o]

So here out by the motorway,
I rolled the pushie to a stop,
and headed on into the forest on foot

Crikey !! That's a lot of long grass !! [:o]
But the target was in sight,
so I plodded on ...
... and by GZ,
a quick cache find

TFTC on a bike ride today [^]

TFTC!

Nice quick find. TFTC,

Awesome

Beauty TFTC
️

And we did get out there! Good riddance

TFTC. Containers wet but log still dry

First find of 8 cache on 8/8 2018 met up with a fellow cacher
Tftc

An amazing morning for a walk along this trail. Found the clue and then the cache. TFTC

#15943. After a bit of cross country we were pleased to spot the distinctive clump of hint objects. TFTC.

StreetWalker and I set out not long after 7am to find a few caches in the USC area, wanting to get our find count for 25th July to at least 20 caches, and hopefully to 26 (a challenge we have set ourselves).
When we got close to GZ, I was dismayed to see we would have to go cross country for a stretch - and hoped the Aussie wildlife had been scared away by the nearby traffic. Found a path of sorts and soon spotted a likely hiding place.
Nice to spot the CO's geomobile on our way back from this caching expedition . TFTC.

Log replaced.

Out for some fun caching on the Sunshine Coast with Dora the Explorer! We drove around a bit before I found a safe spot to park the geomobile. We took a pleasant stroll towards GZ. Then a short bush bash to get there. The cache was quickly located. Signing the wet log was an issue, but I had my trusty "write anywhere" pen with me and our names were soon in the log. TFTC

Quick and easy find. Log book soaked.

Wasn't too sure about traversing the dewey long grass thinking snakes and ceepy crawlies might like my English blood! Once at the GZ a quick and easy find. TFTC

Log was saturated and water in the container. Drained it out but very wet.

We had a good time this afternoon picking up some caches on the sunshine coast TFTC

Afternoon walk with Clues blues and geodog, Shig da pig, having never been down this walkway before. Tftc

Found exactly where the clue said it was!

These two that we have done today makes me wonder where Get out there #1 is....... This one did have a bit of water in the bottom and a rusty keyring so we removed the keyring and tried to dry out with what we had on us which was not much. I didnt notice any holes in container but owner may want to check it out just incase TFTC

Running out of caching time, so these along here were the last ones for the day.
I made Rhobocacher walk a bit faster then I usually would have, had to be back for an afternoon appointment.
Luckily they were all quick easy finds.

I have the sense I've visited a previous incarnation of this cache. Lovely tiny vegetation remnant here. Cache all good if a bit damp, including the logbook. TFTC Konie.

Goodies and geomutts 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. This was the first for the afternoon. Took the toy car and left a spider. TFTC Konie.

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.
This was one just for me as IolantheK has been here before.
A bit of a search here before spotting the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Easy find TFTC

Tftc

Found by Mary & David at 1625. A good walk to stretch the legs. Not too far off the path, and an easy find. Our thanks to Konie.

Found it

quick trek through the grass.

Out and about on the geocycle today. A mixed bag. Some easy finds, some long hunts. A few too many DNFs, but lots of finds too.

A nice easy find at this one thanks.

Jogging and walking between caches along this path and glad to go in and find this one very easily. TFTC

Tftc

Log is now dry and in a new plastic bag.

Well that took a bit of bush bashing. 5 trunks good hint. Log is wet though. Tftc.

Not so impressed with the bush one needs to bash to get to ground zero. Hhmm.

Easy find. Log is wet but useable.
TFTC

Tftc Wet log

Found this one after deciding to trust my phone's GPS, which is usually about 14m out! TFTC

Cache replaced.

Happy caching

Will check on this one when I get back in a few weeks time.

What a disappointment, could not find the cache. I am sure we were in the right spot by the clue, looked everywhere and could not find it. May have been muggled.
Thanks for the walk along the lovely track.
John and Terry

Great day out caching tftc

Very bushy little one was worried about snakes so we sent dad in ☺

yep we got out there, and are having a great day!!!quick easy find, thanks konie

Easy find .Gracias Konie

Found it great hide!!

Thankyou! Note: be wary of lots of spider webs and orb spiders!!

Not bad

Our first find

After spending the day caching with teamdfl, we both headed home in our own cars, but on the way I stopped to grab a couple more caches. There's always time for one more, right???

My last one, as it was nearly dark when I set off on foot. Glad I had the head torch, and I really had to psych myself up to walk through the long grass, but soon found myself at GZ and the cache was right where I expected to find it However, as I left I did not pick up my GPS, and I was a good 20 minutes down the freeway towards Brisbane before I realised Nothing for it but to go all the way back and take the walk again!!! Thankfully it was where I left it, and I was soon heading home again. TFTC, Konie.

TFTC hard to find best place to park, went for a walk through the Bush and the It was TNLNSL

After a few false starts down different tracks the cache was soon in hand. SLTN TFTC Konie

Tftc, first we couldn't work out where to park, we drove around and around and finally decided we needed to walk.then a bush bash in, what a day were having. I have scratches, spiderwebs and I do not like the bush bash, but we now have a smilie for this cache. Lots of trinkets for the cachers who have small kids.Thanks. TNLNSL

We decided to do "just one more" cache while we were out today and this one was the closest to where we were so... we parked safely and walked down the bike path, noticing that there was a van parked out on the motorway. I looked around expecting to see other people but only say one cyclist riding by. We looked for the right path to take and finally decided on one which led us to GZ where we found the cache in good condition. Thanks for the bush bash and the cache Konie.

What a marathon effort to get to this one. Finally, and then the bush bash. Thanks for the placement.

Finally got to this cache! Drove past it everyday. Cache is in good condition. TNLN. TFTC

Eazy find well done

Second cache with the group the ranenburys and frost flare but 11th cache of the day

Found it out with eaglecross and hatta1016. TFTC

Good cache! Went for a ride with the kids. Thanks.

After finding a suitable park, it was a nice stroll to GZ for an easy find.

Good to see such a large container today, thanks Konie
