Found part of what I am sure is the cache, but nothing else, no log etc, have sent photograph to CO
We searched for a long time for this one, due to GPS bounce. Eventually, we found what could only have been the top part of the camouflage, but there was nothing in the area that matched. The rest of the como and the cache itself are missing. I have photos of what I found if the CO would like to see them.
Sniff sniff cough coug
Beaten by the itchies and the pollen and the clever hide

With a milestone coming up soon I needed to get out and find a few caches. Today's adventure started with this one. I wandered around a bit until finally I spied the sneaky beasty. Nice camo! Unfortunately the log was very wet, I didn't want to risk tearing the paper so I took a photo of the log and container. I'm happy to send this photo to the CO for proof of find if need be.
Thanks for the cache Djmccullagh

Great hide, that was awesome. On way home from I'm work & to Houghton I'd take a quick look, really thought it was going to be going empty handed!!
TFTC well done!!

Today we decided to clear up a few solved puzzles that were still sitting on our 'to find' list.
Of course we aren't going to just drive by the trads! Lol ...
I was a little cache blind here.
I thought I had checked everything but after about 5 mins Geo-Mamma wandered in, took a quick look around & said 'Here it is'!
GRRRR! LOL ...
Nicely crafted.
All good here.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Worthy of a fav point!

A slight detour from the Shiny caches to collect this one. Great co-ords helped with finding this one. A nice hide. A favourite point for the effort.
Well this was a nice one. We were looking and looking and then I questioned something. Muggle hubby checked it and said nope but my sense were telling me yes and earned me the smile. TFTC
Just when the flora and itchies were getting to us Donna found it. Clever hide. Tftc. Should of taken plastic bag for the rubbish though
Found with the very talented Courtney.Ann
Super clever cache which felt super rewarding to finally find. Coords are close to spot on and you just need a keen eye to pick this one up. TFTC

This was a bonus cache for us and the container earns a favourite point. After we signed the log I thought I was still sixteen and had a crack at the skate bowl. What a busted idea as soon I was hanging on for life. tftc
We were not too far away today so decided to stop by for a quick cache find. It didn't take long before Mr Just a Trifle spotted something which didn't quite look right and with our name in the log book, we continued on our way.
Thank you Djmcculagh for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy.

Well, so many trees, so many places to be hidden.
I looked high and low, in and around and was about to give up.
I was extremely tired and had been out of the geo-scene for 6 weeks. I think my senses have gone on vacation.
Did one final 360 and spotted something not right. Very clever.
I have found a few like this before and was relieved when i finally added my name to the log.
Thanks for placing this cache here.
Signed and returned.

Out on a quick caching run this morning to celebrate both the geoteens return to school after the holidays and my day off without them I had made a previous visit here, but ran out of both light and time to search. With fresh eyes this morning the find only took a few minutes. Take a FP for the container and the work which went into it. Tftc Djmccullagh
It's Thursday, so that means another caching adventure with barbb . Seeing as Miss12 was helping out with beginner horse riders at the last minute, we shifted our sights to a Northside trip.
I haven't really spent much time in this area and this park was quite lovely. As we pulled up in the carpark, Barb and I had our eye on a Subaru Forester that had stopped on the side of the road quite close to the cache. Could it be another cacher?...Um no. Turns out the lady who got out of the car had a pair of heavy duty seccateurs in her hand and she proceeded to cut branches off the young gum trees in the reveg area. I think she might have been a wildlife carer. So Barb and I had to wait for the lady muggle to finish her tree pruning before we could start to look for the cache.
We headed over to GZ and Barb says to me "I think something might have died near here". [XX(] It was pretty stinky and as we circled around, GPSs bouncing all over the place, little wafts of rankness would pop up every now and then. Pongo! We searched and searched, so many places to look. My eyes fell on something red and black, OMG! "Hey Barb, I know where the stinkyness is coming from" I called out. All around GZ stinkhorn fungi were growing, they look very impressive - but don't smell too good. So no longer distracted by the fungi, we got down to serious searching. Hang on a minute...that doesn't look right...over here Barb! Finally the cache! I have found a few of these now and this one is pretty nifty. TFTC Djmccullagh, I enjoyed the search and loved finding the fungi

I am heading south to Brissy today and I have time for plenty of geocaching on the way.
I arrived here just as the rain came down so I waited in the car.
Of corse once it stopped I went looking and still got very wet but could not find the cache.
Oh well, one for another day.

Found at 110. Found quickly clever holder but I had came across similar caches before. TFTC.
That cache is by far the best one I have found so far the type that I want to make. T(so much)FTC. .
That took a little while but well worth the frustration! Haven't come across one like that before so fave for the day.
With another Friday afternoon free I headed to this area again to turn those green boxes on my map into smiley's.
The park was empty so I had no suspicious eyes on me wondering what I might be up too.
Once at GZ I soon spied something that didn't quite look right and sure enough it was the cache.
Nice hide!

Out and about with Dutchie1950 and her house guests Jamesandmali
We had no trouble reaching GZ and with a previous finder along, we had a good idea of what we were looking for, but it sure took a lot of walking in circles before I spotted the camo. Nicely done. TFTC, Djmccullagh.

Third try .... but ... too well hidden for us or not where our devices lead us.
# 1221 - Out for the day with Wombles & Co, who was originally going to do some searching on her bike, but when I got the message I decided I would be in on the search and brought my wheels (all four of them .
This was the first cache of the day. It took some searching, with a bouncing compass on my phone (GPS told me there were no caches! ), but after a while I thought I knew what I was looking for, and yes... there was the container. Nice camo!
Great to have a park named after you!

This was our starting point today, originally I was going to ride my bike on my own but I teamed up with dutchie1950 and we drove instead
How awesome to have a park and street with your family name! And a lovely park it is too.
Dutchie found the hide after a bit of looking, we were looking for the wrong thing, lucky she has good spotting skills!

Great little park and a lot of effort being put into revegetation. This find took time with so many spots to check. Had to re-read the description and logs, and recheck the coordinates plugged into the GPS. A second more thorough look came up with the goods. TFTC Djmccullagh
Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 3:27pm. That took quite some time to find. The cache is in good condition. TFTC
searching searching .... looks like we have to come back .... knowing it MUST be there somewhere !
I know how you feel with your loss of inheritance - apparently one of my forefathers was paid by being given a parcel of land but he decided it was no good for farming, so he sold it for two kegs of rum. That parcel of land was the Rocks Area of Sydney!! This cache took us ages to find. We were about to give up when we both suddenly saw something that didn't quite look right - and there was the cache! Clever hide. TNLNSL TFTC
Find #1751 at 12:38. Sneaky sneaky.
Coords are spot on, but it still took me a few minutes before I spotted the telltale sign of a cache. Not exactly as I had expected.
Thanks for the cache, Dj-MCCULLAGH.

I have been here looking for this one before, but had no luck last time. Armed with a clue, I was back with a vengeance to make sure I got the smily! Well, still a little phone bounce, but found the right area, and looked about a bit. Aha! There it is. Does not have my fingerprints on it, so maybe I did not move this part of the park when last I looked....
Okay, logged and returned all for the next unsuspecting customer. TFTC and bringing us to the park. Had not known it was there.

Out with the geokids on a sunny Grand Final day. Needed a few spray paint colours to pretty up some new Ammo cans, and of course a couple of caches enroute won't go astray.
Landed at the coords (spot on by the way) and had a bit of a search for the obvious, before finding something a bit more subtle.
This find brings our total to 1735 smilies, thanks Djmccullagh for placing and maintaining this cache for us and others to find.

I didn't realise the McCullagh's were so famous. When I arrived at gz, I checked obvious locations. Not finding anything, I figured it was another "clever", so I turned on my Spidey senses. Within a few minutes I had the cache in hand. Nice hide djm.
Looking for my cache for the day and this one popped up when I checked my emails.
Very interesting about your family history.
Sorry about the inheritance but it is nice to know where your roots are.
Found shortly after arriving at GZ.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Djmccullagh All good with this cache

Sunday. Slow Puncture was sitting at home marveling at the publishing of our first letterbox when a new cache notification came through and for once it wasn't 20 kms away Can't pass that up! Given Kerry was already dressed and time was of the essence, off she went alone.
A short search of GZ led to some initial frustrations. Then Kerry thought outside the box a bit, and spotted something a tad suspicious. And the cache presented itself. All fresh and un-tampered with. Until now! Hurrah, a rare FTF

Very cool hide Mr McCullagh. Kind of wish I could skateboard so I could have a go at that halfpipe. TFTC
