I was out today grabbing a few hides in the local area. This little park was busy with muggles so i took my time pretending to talk on my phone whilst i spied around the likely hiding spots. When the coast was clear i dove in and searched around until i found the container. SL TFYC

Thanks for the find! J&J

Found with stairman. We parked closeby and headed down to GZ. It was little hard for the GPS to settle down but eventually stairman1 located the container. There was a muggle close by practicing his moves and seemed oblivious to what we were doing. With our names in the log, we headed back to find one more for the day. TFTC.

Found with goldielover. Took a bit to spot this one. A muggle near by was practicing kick boxing on the grass totally oblivious to what we were up to.

We were coming back from a car boot sale at Burleigh and decided to grab this one.

It was threatening to rain but it held off for a bit.

Thanks for the cache Prentis Power. Cheers!!

Found it finally! I'm pretty sure it was in other place before since I checked every stone in the wall before and did not find anything. Thanks God found it finally

Kids found it a few days earlier so got them to see if I was close , and I was.

This first day of February? That means finding the flying fish. Or the cache by that name in any event.
It's not too far from home to get down here and a nicely landscaped area greeted me upon arrival. There were a couple of kids on razor scooters nearby on the hipped footpath. I wondered to myself how they've escaped the back to school duldrums that most other children endure in early February, but it was a brief flight of fancy. I turned my attention to the compass which was leading me further from the fun and towards the foliage. A quick fiddle and I found it. The cache fortunately, not the flying fish, or my phone would need fixing.
Thanks for the cache here, and the fun on February first.

Oh dear! We spent a bit of time here. Partly because there was a mother teaching her young son how to ride his skateboard. They left soon after we arrived and then three young men arrived. Fortunately for us they just kind of 'rode through' the area with a few bangs and scrapes of the boards as they tried to do tricks. We then got down to serious looking and fortunately found the well hidden cache. Thanks for another one of yours we've found today Prentis Power. [^][^]

With waiting for muggles to leave and some time found searching we used the photos to give us a bit more of a help. TFTC.

Out exploring the area on a windy overcast day, I noticed this hide on the map and found a good spot to park. Wandering down, I had to wait for a muggle to pass and then I was able to search. It wasn't the first spot I checked but find it I did. This is a lovely large lake.

Thanks for the cache.
 
03-Jan-16
A second find as we cycle around the lake. Lovely, breezy spot for a quick break. TFTC

Out with RoddyC to visit a few caches in the area.
Wandered in here in the dark with torches.
Noticed something on the ground about 30 metres away but it was not moving so kept on with what I was doing.
Located the cache and moved away from hide to sign.
Took the TB as RoddyC said that there were muggles afoot.
Cache returned to hide and we headed off.
Watched and waited a minute and the muggles headed away too. So that was what it was.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Prentis power Cool All good with this cache

Parking was easier here than at "Safety Stop". We walked across the road to the park and around the corner near a rock wall when we noticed what we at first thought was a lone person laying on the ground. As we were searching, our torch lights and chatter obviously disturbed things, and it turns out the sole person was actually a rather amorous couple. When we finished and left - so they did also.

Anyway the cache and contents are in good order. Caught up with a TB, too.

Found at 8.50pm on 22nd November 2015. TFTC.

Have to look up google how a grevillea looks like. Coords were a bit off but we were close to the said rock wall. TFTC

Down South today picking up a few caches in the area while Geo Wife was busy at a conference.

On approach to GZ I spotted the reason for the cache name, interesting piece of art work!!

This one had me going for a few minutes and then interrupted by muggles I almost decided to leave it as a DNF.

Luckily the muggles cleared and I looked at a different spot I hadn't checked before and my fingers touched something that made me investigate more and sure enough I came up with the prize!!!!

Thanks Prentis Power TFTC SL

Driving around the area this morning and this one was the next stop. Thankfully no one was around but as I approach a damn maggie came flying through which of course scared the heck out of me as two had just swooped me at another location. I grabbed a seat near GZ to read the cache page when a little quail came running out and grabbed a bug or something, funny little thing. A quick search and I soon had my name on the new log, I made a swap then replaced as found.
Thanx again PP, great spot, I bet the kids love riding around on the track. It's even got berms.

FTF!! Thanks so much. A great spot. We were a little thrown by the clue as unfortunately we were quite visible from the playground. Hopefully we did not arouse too much suspicion. Thanks again. Labufam Smile
