Couldnt find it. Very busy road with tons on traffic so couldnt look too much
Wow, what a busy road. A quick stop and grab here for us today. Off to get some more local smiles . Tftc
Visiting South East Queensland for a week from Port Macquarie. Today we ventured out towards Tamborine Mountain before finishing the afternoon around the Southport area. After a chilly morning, the afternoon warmth was very welcome and made for a rather pleasant day of caching. Slightly precarious spot with all the passing traffic but didn't have to stick around too long with a quick find.Thanks for the cache
Well that was fun trying to dodge all passing traffic. Quick find in the end. Took much longer to return it, although that is part of the challenge. TFTC
Today, I joined a few friends with an early hike to Pages Pinnacle. We departed from Neranwood Park to take the steep ascent, and then had an adventurous climb along the razorback before getting treated to great views at that local summit. Following the walk, I took a drive along Mount Nimmel Road, and then walked up further fire tracks whilst finding the *Austin Powers* series. Mudgeeraba Creek rock pool certainly appeared to be enticing to make a dip, as there were a few people about.
It was then a drive along/through Upper Mudgeeraba, and then along a few scenic routes that traversed Advancetown Lake / Hinze Dam. I did pop into Hinze Dam and completed the [Hinze Dam Walk](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/92f34238-e46a-4fb5-8b34-2d6c632e5b83
) Adventure Lab. A few final stops were made in Mount Nathan, before heading home for the day.
This turned out to be my final geocache find of the day, and one that I was driving past, that I thought would make a quick stop. As it turned out, it was a quick find with the clue, but the cache was close to slipping down, so it may need some wire tether or magnet to allow it to continue to be safely accessed. Otherwise, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks flagmarshall39 and MrsFlag for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I tried to time the grab and retrieval between traffic lights but it's a very busy intersection. Thanks for the cache
We were a bit worried about trying to be inconspicuous with all the passing traffic, but that’s what you get when you cache naked. We were fully naked apart from all the clothes and jumpers we had on to beat the cold. We had just come down from Tamborine where it was freezing and we needed to shed a few layers anyway.
Thankfully I have a badge labeled as the fence police so I felt confident. What I wasn’t feeling confident about was making sure the cache stayed in place and didn’t drop to its demise. Something there was defying gravity so we left with a smile on our naked faces. tftc

Had Thai for dinner and looked for any nearby hunts and this was it. Great hiding spot TFTC family find. Wrote in log and left something little.
Out caching with my son (Kidnoski) after he discovered caching independently of my influence of five years ago. It's been a while. TFTC.
After our little hill climb and abseiling adventure, Willis007 and I continued our caching day by grabbing a few more in the area and around Coomera before we headed home.
The traffic here was crazy, trying to make the grab during the light changes was the only way we could do it without causing some suspicions. Returning the cache was just as difficult.
We signed the log and replaced as found, then we were off to the next one in the area. Thanks for the hide, all good with this one.

A quick find while buzzing around the golden this afternoon.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
My first geocache in around 5 years. Lot's of ppl around watching what you're doing but a relatively quick find.
That was a good one. Right under your nose but took us 30 minutes to find. What a mission. Good luck hunting.
Didn’t have a pen but found it along with NjaNja53. Thanks for the cache! I’ve been trying to find it for four years don’t think too hard about it and you’ll find it!
Off for a drive for a few smiles on the way to Canungra.
Stopped close by and made a quick find in between traffic light changes. TFTC flagmarshal39

Nice easy find. We searched the wrong spot but soon realised we were out of options - bingo!
Nice easy find, seen a couple like this. Waited for a break in the traffic to make a grab.

Out visiting family with the kiddoes and then saw some smoke so we went to find it, then found ourselves near a cache so we went to find that then found ourselves near a park so its a usual Rogers day.
Pulled up in the conviently placed spot just next to the GZ and walked over. Kiddoes stayed in the car for this one as it was too close to a busy road for my liking. Had to wait for a few traffic light changes to occur to avoid suspicion but the cache was quickly in hand. Signed by the car and a few traffic light changes later, was replaced as found.

A quick visit to the Gold Coast and time for a cache or two. Found with geotilda. TFTC
A very busy intersection but reezielou and I were able to make the grab quickly without any issues. TFTC!
Found while on a geocaching holiday with tmann421.
Enjoyed the trip around and all the great hides.

We have been back here several times looking for this one, and reached out to the CO seeking help without success.
Since the log had been replaced we dropped by tonight to claim the smiley.

Decided to try this one at night with tenkae, it didn’t take too long but it was interesting to see its hidden spot
Definitely found it. Replaced the log for the owner. It’s now an eclipse tin.
Turns out that even at 11pm at night, this particular intersection is still annoyingly busy!
EatAllThePie and I spent a little while looking inside the obvious things here, but unfortunately we came up blank this time.
Fingers crossed this cache is still here and we’re just cache blind tonight.

Great spot for cache however I think part of it is missing and no log book. Have messaged cache owner.
Have messaged CO as we don't believe this one is still there based on previous comments/photos
On our way to Mt Tamborine we decided to stop for this one on the way past. A new twist on a familiar hiding technique, must remember that one. TFTC .
Nice quick little find having had some experience with hides of this type before. Also marked my 500th point in the Planetary Challenge which has happily been extended by a week allowing me to collect planets all the way out to Pluto. TFTC
