Life's Quandary Coolum Beach, Queensland, Australia
By electro_man on 03-Mar-15. Waypoint GC5NQP5

After lunch Duppers and I headed out for this cache.Decided to hit this one too. As Duppers had already found this one, she left me to it while she watched on. Quick find.I found your cache, Life's Quandary today. This is my 2678 find.E_Smiley, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Log is a bit damp & hard to write on.

Couldn't find. Not sure how much water went through there in the recent storms if that had something to do with it.

Well if you have to drive right past it, you should collect it right!! Of course and so we did. Not found where it should be, but was replaced where it was logical to be. Did a quick CITO of the evidence of someone’s late night drinkies with a few mates in the nearby shelter. Could have made a dollar!

Pleasant little park and a variety of friendly birds all expecting a feed. One willy wagtail wasn't happy with the maggie and decided to pull it's tail feathers. The maggie wasn't at all perturbed with the slight irritation and watched us with interest waiting for a handout. Wouldn't have been surprised if a few feathers would be flying after we left.

With the cache, eventually found it on the rocks. After signing it was replaced back in a logical spot. Thanks for a reason to drop by.

TBU2Uwe001 and I were in this area for Bug's CITO on the Maroochy River and we got a couple of more caches on the way.

This was one of them.

Didn’t find , but a beautiful place to explore - we will try again for sure

We found it! We were originally looking for a regular size cache hence ‘did not find’ - but realised we needed to look for a micro and with that change of perspective , it was found in 1 minute! Thanks so much

Couldn't find this one after a lot of searching

Ocw the Bebes as we await our caravan service close by. We had been before with no luck but this time managed the find. Tftc

We’re back on the Sunshine Coast for a few weeks.

OCW with PelDroedGwin, we also have geodog Peppa and geocat Levin with us.

The caravan is on for a service just over the road so time for a quick grab here before we collect it.

A pretty park, with no-one around which meant we could search with ease.

Tftc

Nice place. Got a help from an old fella chilling around. Guess we got a new geocacher tftc

Would love a clue for this one, couldn’t find despite a good search of the area

Whilst on my way out of Coolum, I stopped to pick up this lonely green dot in the middle of this industrial area. Once at GZ I thought I would be in for a tough search, but I soon found the cache tucked away, a little more obvious than I thought it would be! Thanks for hiding a cache out here electro_man!

DNF Disappointed with the grandies

I had a bit of trouble with this cache again. Looked on and under with nothing to show for my gymnastics. Finally looked around and found the cache on the ground under some grass/weeds. Log is damp but I was able to sign. Probably needs a ziplock bag or something to help to keep it dry. I replaced it where I thought I should have found it. TFTC and the maintenance here, AtTheLakeHouse

Found on Sunday afternoon
Went to have a look at the radio control airplanes.
Then decided to do this cache.

Thanks

Found, took us a couple of tries!

Found it TFTC

Nice quick stop! Tftc

If it was where I think it has been washed away️

If it was on the walk bridge it is not now.

No good today.

Had to come to this estate to pick stuff up so I thought I’d try to find this cache. Not quite dressed for the occasion in skirt and heels, but fortunately there was no one around. With the heels left on the bridge, it was a DNF for me. I looked on, in and under.

Nice location in industrial area.

This was the fifth of the six caches we found after our semi failed ninderry attempt yesterday.
Licking our wounds with whatever trad stood in our way, this quandary was next.
With spot on coordinates, this didn't take too long.
Thanks wallabywanderers for keeping this electro_man cache alive !

Nice find

Found cache signed log and replaced as found TFTC

Had my car booked for service nearby. Glad there's caches to find while waiting. I normally don't cache alone but this one is so tempting.

I like caches like these. No muggles and easy find. Quickly found after checking 3.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here electro_man. Nice place. I wonder if it's busy on weekends.

Visiting this lovely district from the Gold Coast with geo friends hatzofff, RoddyC and grannysmith 1947.
The further up we venture it just gets more beautiful, a nice quick find was enjoyed here.

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

Thank you, electro_man, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

My apologies if it is not secure, muggles arrived and I had to scat as soon as I found it.

Beautiful secluded park. Great for bird watching TFTC Electroman

Yay!!! I’ve been coming to this little oasis every Wednesday afternoon all term while my daughter has a class around the corner. One day I thought “ this’d be a perfect spot for a cache” and it occurred to me there might be one. Haha! Lo and behold the map said Yes. So I set about locating it but to no avail. Even had the assistance of a passer-by who knew what I was looking for as she’d found it herself a few months earlier. No cigar. Back here today and happened to notice the CO has done maintenance so it MUST be there. Found it almost instantly, but not where I was looking before. This park is a little piece of paradise tucked away in an industrial estate and seems to be treasured by the locals. Thanks for bringing us here with the cache, and for the little gift inside.

New container and logbook. Ants had invaded and made a huge mess!

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Easy find in a lovely park. Cleaned out a well established ant nest and dried the cache contents. All good. tftc

Took a little while but easy enough tftc

Found and signed, great little hide. The description is so true. Could be on it and not even know.
Dropped a retrieved path tag.

Come here for dog runs....tftc

Not quite where the mapping shows but using geosense figured out where it could be. TFTC.

Dancers say out, girls scared in case of snakes . Nice find

Arrived at gz thinking this would be a nice one to pick but met a snake so thought best to leave this one and return another day!!!

No quandry today
I was getting out of the Sunny Coast ...
... Hooray !!

What a manically crazy place,
with so many DNF's !! [:o]
What's wrong with the locals ??
They say they live in paradise.
Yet behave like they are in hell

So I was happy to be escaping today,
but along the way,
the DNF"s wouldn't leave me alone

Except for this little cache
Which turned up in its hiding place
Hallelujah !!
Maybe all me suffering on the Sunny Coast will provide some caches yet !!

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching, I thought we auto logging turned off, it is again now. Came for a drive to the local markets then decided on a couple of caches. Got to GZ and then figured out where we had to be. Found and log signed. Who would have thought there would be areas like this in an industrial area. TFTC electro_man.

Super easy! Good hide and camo!

Having travelled up to the Sunshine Coast for the day for work, I had finished my meeting with plenty of time to spare for some geocaching to round out the afternoon. With a few caches already found, it was time to head off to my accommodation to check in. With plenty of daylight still in hand, I headed back out to see what other caches I could discover before sunset.

Parking the car close to GZ it was only then that I discovered that my geocaching stamp was missing after visiting the previous cache. After a thorough search of the car failed to find it I was felling pretty peeved at losing it after only having it for a couple of months now. In spite of this I decided to still go looking for this cache which was found safe and well after a short search.

It was only upon returning to the previous cache that I discovered I had dropped my geocaching stamp into the cache container at the same time as dropping in a trackable. Doh!!

Found Ok

Another day exploring where do all the MTB trails go heading out from Perigian Beach. I was pleasantly surprised i was able to ride down through the bush to get here. Mind you getting straight back across to the coast directly from here proved to be too great of a challenge. Back to the formed bike path from Perigian Springs for that one

ahh last one for 2018... all good on the home front. whatever your plans are for tonight have a save and happy 2019.

A day out caching with stortigirls at the Sunshine Coast. This cache was located after a short search and our names added to the log. TFTC

Out caching with Selva Girls in the area today, we had made a few finds nearby and continued on to this cache. What a great little spot. We split up to search different sides of the structure and Selva Girls chose the correct side. Names in the log and all returned as found. Tftc electro_man

I'm out and about with Mrs Slow Puncture today, we have a few target caches to get on the lovely (but rainy) Sunshine Coast

This is our second cache in the industrial area, the parks are amazing. Mrs SP spotted this one first, I wasn't too keen about putting my hands where I couldn't see them. Lucky Mrs SP could guide me in to the right spot. There had been quite a bit of rain just before we visited, but we didn't have to get wet to find the cache. Yay! TFTC electro_man

Thursday. Well, finally – Mrs SP was pulling her weight! Found this one quickly whilst trying to be a contortionist Guiding Mrs RIO’s hand to its location (she’s very wary of anything that might bite , we soon had our hand on the cache and log was signed. A little old lady taking her dog for a walk took minimal interest in us after she arrived. Probably just checking out that we were ok, and then she was on her way, leaving us to our own devices. Righto, time for a coffee now and something to eat!

This was the 5th of 12 caches found on today's trip.

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

Our last day camping at Dunethin Rock Scout Camp.
Todays trip was towards Noosa. Visited many locations we had not been before, lots of great hides.
A nice quiet industrial area at the moment.
Thanks for placing this cache electro_man

Goodies found it

Thanks, great hide. All neat and tidy. Log signed

Great little oasis. Tftc

Quick find! Cool spot, tftc!

Great hide. Nice area

Accurate co-ords so this one was a very quick find. TFTC

Came out this way to check out the water park and this hide was to far of the route. Quick find once in the right spot. Great hide and TFTC electro_man

Found this one after a while
It's a really nice park with lots of birds

Set off today to grab a few caches on the northern reaches of the Sunshine Coast. This was the first of fifteen for the day. Took a few minutes but thanks electro_man for placing and just as importantly maintaining the cache. Nice clean log t sign.

New cache and log in place.

Found. TFTC. Found the cache on the ground and the log was sopping wet. Emptied the water out but it will need a new log. As usual love how caching takes us to places we didn't even know existed!

The cache will get a spring clean soon.

TFTC nice new spot located for lunch TNLNSL

Tftc, found it without too much trouble. Tnlnsl

Didn't even know this industrial estate existed let alone the lovely park area with a great walk round the lake. The coords were absolutely spot on and the cache soon in hand. TFTC electro_man

bit of stealth required on our quest to obtain this cache. but managed to sneak, sign and leave without much fuss. tftc

Down on the coast to do a bit of caching, this was our 1st for the day.

Surprising what you can find tucked behind industrial estates! So serene and quiet.
Found my first travel bug (EZ4ATN).
TFTC!

I was in the area for the weekend so I decided to see if we could find a couple of caches. Didn't take too long to track this one down. There is no pen/pencil so remember to take one with you.

TFTC Electro Man

Found this one with half the family.
Dropped off Conqueror travel bug.
Thanks for the cache.

Up here with family at the nearby water park. Agreed to do a cache on the way home. Only took a few minutes to locate. Log signed, squeezed in an elephant, and replaced where found. TFTC.
