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

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.

Early bird gets 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

14-Nov-21
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.

**Found 23/05/2020 at 3:50:52 PM Smiley #739 Big Grin**

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.

Thanks for the cache flagmarshall39 Big Grin

Decided to try this one at night with tenkae, it didn’t take too long but it was interesting to see its hidden spot
 
20-Jul-19
Definitely found it. Replaced the log for the owner. It’s now an eclipse tin.
 
12-Jul-19
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.
 
28-May-19
