Lions Den Robina, Queensland, Australia
By Nottinghamers on 25-Jul-15. Waypoint GC604JE

Sadly the location of this one is no longer viable.

Thanks to WW for the note . Will try to repair asap.

ok.. took me a while and when I finally found it ... the log was sopping wet and unable to sign it. I took a photo for proof of food if you want to see but I won't post it as it would be too big a clue. Great idea for a cache but mustn't have been found for a while as completely covered in leaves, etc. Fun find. TFTC

We made this a lot harder than needed, what a great hide. Would not of found this without some sharp eyes from a fellow geocacher. Favorite point for this one. TFTC

The very cleverly camouflaged and hidden cache took some finding but a favourite point from me, log is a little wet but still singable

TFTC

Have replaced the log sheet with anew one, hopefully making it a bit more waterproof. Happy caching!

After being laid up for a couple of weeks it was good to get out and about down the GC a place I rarely visit let alone cache. Great to discover the back blocks around Robina and surrounds.

Another that i actually discovered today. Great hides by this CO

The promise of balmy weather and so we headed south to the goldie for a, er, gentle caching run. A couple of nice walks and the obligatory tree climb and naturally there was beer and a thunderstorm somewhere along the trail

My experience of finding NH caches has been varied and so I rolled up here with no expectations. But we soon had the cache in hand At this stage we didn't know there were more to come from this CO later in the day The loggy is a bit soggy.

A FAVE point for this little beauty. Geo-buddy swooped on it.

TFTC Nottinghammers!

Went looking for a Nottinghammer cache again,always assured of a good hide and a lovely location here to by the water.TFTC.

Catching up on some late logs from our recent trip to Qld, and out with Happy Feet this morning grabbing a few caches and we soon found this sneaky hide after a short search, thanks Nottinghamers for the cache.

Up grabbing a few early morning caches before too many muggles. Made this nice hide in a pleasant area.
Thanks Nottinghamers for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Nice cache

TFTC very damp log

Very clever- things are not always what they seem

Me and Willy duck were in the area looking for a few caches. This is a nice little river/lake with lots of birdlife frollicking in the water. On arrival at the GZ I had a suspicion of what i was looking for, and it wasnt long before i nailed it. A clever and well constructed cache thanks CO. SL TFTC

Tftc cool hide gz

Was about to give up and then we spotted the stumps! Creative hide, Tftc

It was buried

There was a lid to a box but no box in sight I feel like someone has taken it

Out for a game of golf at the Glades this morning. Managed to talk Ms M into coming to visit this cache on the way home being the site of another of my dnf's from February.
The GPS took us to the same place as I previously had no luck. We fossicked around for a bit without any luck. Just about to give up again when I expanded my search a little and there it was.
Thank goodness for that. Another Nottinghamers cache with a smilie attached.
I'll be back in a couple of months to attempt the newly published ones.

Clever clever little one... TFTC SL

Another amazing hide from Nottinghamers! Took me a while as my GPS was all over the place but got it in the end. Lorikeets galore here.
I would have thought that this would have been higher difficulty rating though
Thanks!

Being a loner today and left the geosister, geoboyfie and geosquad at home, I was so confused standing looking for something out of nothing. But then it hit me and I looked a little harder, oh there it is! Wow what a cleaver cache, have seen something similar and it's always a nice surprise when you find one. Thanks k you, I look forward to finding more of yours

Found it

Out doing some caches this afternoon. I arrived at GZ and with something in mind I treked into where I thought it would be... hmmm, nothing came to hand.. or to my eye.
Backing out to greener pastures I checked thru old logs and information ( ohh... I've heard this CO and their caches can be a challenge - but fun ). After reading, I still thought I was on the right track... so I broadened my initial search area. Hark, is that it ? I was right, very clever !!! I will be adding a Fav point later. TFTC !!!

Nothing managed to jump out for me here today and although I had a couple of ideas regarding the hint that didn't help either.
Attending a couple of events on Monday so maybe I'll gain some "inspiration" then.
I'll be back. It just may not be this year!

Thanks to GazaC for the info. I have replaced the log inside a zip bag so hopefully it will last a wee while longer. Happy caching!

This morning I had some business to attend to on the eastern side of Robina Town Centre so I decide to kill two birds with one stone and collect a nearby geocache, continuing my current streak, a quite modest 3 or so weeks, but pretty good for me of late.
I had actually been for a walk in this park a week or so ago, but hadn't realised there was a cache here.
The compass on my phone was bouncing back and forth, so i stood back and surveyed the area with my eyes peeled at a distance. I identified half a dozen interesting looking features that could potentially hide a micro, and luckily for me, when i sprang into search mode, one of those held the prize.
The container had been put back upside down by the last finder (still not logged for some reason) and the contents are damp as a result. Unsurprisingly, as i only had a pencil today, the log started to tear as i began writing, so my mark is a hybrid of my trail name with most of a G, a couple of little holes, a squiggle, and a Z if you are being generous. i'll try to find a silica bag at home and pop it in next time I come through, if the CO doesn't get to it first.
A great little hide, Nottinghammers, quite impressive. Also, a great location and thank you for bringing me back to this spot. Much obliged for the experience, cheers!

Catching up on some old logs..... I was out and about and this cache was the "just one more thing" before heading home.

It was rather a warm day so I was glad to find some shade and start the search for the cache.

Nice one. Thanks for the cache Nottinghammers.

The coords was a bit off today. It's overcast so a quick PAF was done. Knowing Nottinghamers cache, this should be a good one. I wasn't disappointed. What's a cutie!

TFTC

Ho, ho, ho. We do love your caches Nottinghamers. This one tricked me for a bit because with the clue I was mislead into thinking that the item holding the cache container was actually looking like something else. When I turned my thinking around I had the clever cache in hand. Thanks for another creative hide that cheered us up this afternoon Nottinghamers. Worth a favourite point for sure! [^][^]

Once again Nottinghamers have impressed me with their caches, loved the camo and fav point from me, TFTC ☺

Thanks for the cache and very generous hint. Awesome container! The log was a little damp but signable. Nice park.
Cheers

Woohoo found this after a bit of a search! Brilliant!

Found this 28/9 with HRH54

Very clever hide. Had to think outside the square. TFTC

After finishing our shopping chores at RTC we headed towards this close cache. Waited for some muggle walkers to keep walking before making way to GZ and spotting straight away. TFTC Nottinghamers.

Very cool.found while cleaning up the closer areas on my map and amy new ones that have popped up. Thanks

Geo Wife had an appointment at GCUH for about 3 hours and I was free to do what I wanted so I thought it wasn't too far to head down and pick up some caches in Tweed/Coolangatta.

I had now picked up 7 caches and the area was full of smiles so I was heading back to meet Geo Wife soon after her appointment.

I was making good time and I saw this one then I noticed it was a new Nottinghamer cache so I just had to check it out.

I parked in the off street parking and strolled over to GZ and ended up walking past but in realising I turned back and spotted the very sneaky hide almost immediately!!!

Another fine hide Nottinghamers!! TFTC SL

Our last day here in Robina, and as I had kept my wife awake all night with my snoring I thought I might go out for an early walk and let her get a bit of sleep.

I had visited this cache when we first arrived, but I was still thinking like a New Zealand cacher and didn't find it (obviously.) This time I looked more thoroughly and soon came up trumps. A very nicely constructed hide indeed. Signed log and left a signature trading token. Thanks for the cache.

Up and at em early this morning to find a few new ones closest to home. My second visit here as you can tell but thankfully this time I was successful. I thought I had checked pretty thoroughly but I ran out of time to continue. Today I wandered around looking at exactly the same things and places as last time but just when another DNF was looking promising I spotted the little bugger. How very clever nottinghamers.
Thanx again, it's another great addition to your collection

I must have had my eyes painted on today as I couldn't find it. It was a beautiful morning by the creek so it wasn't all a waste.
Round two next week, thanx Nottinghamers

Second to find at 12 noon. I knew that someone had been before me. Someone with big feet!!
I thought that I may have a chance at FTF as I was on my way home from Brisbane and saw this new cache not too far away. A Nottinghamer cache is not to be missed. I know the park and had considered this corner for a cache of my own one day. I searched up and down trying to think like a lion. I finally decided to read the hint and had to scratch a bit as FTF BC (I wonder where his log is) had rehidden it well. A favourite point from me.Thanks Nottinghamers

*FTF *
I missed the notification for this one sometime last night.
This morning I was a little surprised that no one had found it ( or logged it ) so I headed out.
So at 9 am I was at GZ and began my search. As with any Nottinghamers cache it took a little while to spot but even then I was still unsure until I grabbed it.
And a clean log book.
Another nice effort.
Thanks for the cache.
