Have removed geo chat from the game

Today on the way to watch our grandsons play rugby we stopped to find a couple of caches.
Thanks for placing this cache brendon cairns

Nice to find a big dry one

I covered it up nicely but since this was my first time I wrote Ben and cooper by accident not my username sorry : don't go to far or it will be very stingy area filled with bongs

After a short break, the young one and I headed out again. After failing to find a nearby cache, we made our way to this one. We parked the car and took a pleasant stroll to GZ. The cache was quickly located, much to the surprise of the young one. It was the biggest cache we had seen so far and he was excited to see what stash might be inside. He took a few things and replaced them with some stuff I had brought from home. I added my name to the logbook and we rehid the cache, before heading back to the car and heading off to the next one.

Well... Nice place for a bong apparently. Will have to come back another day for this one..

This is the first time I've seen this type of cache. Got very excited cause now I can drop a trackable I've been wanting to drop in a bigger cache. It was very exposed so I put a bit more coverage On this one but still at the same spot. Tftc

What an awesome spot.....felt very safe with all the security cameras on the houses nearby.

Great cache thanks for the hunt! Was expecting something a bit more "medium"

Quick easy find

Great little area TFTC :^D

I had made a start on a nearby multi. On my way back home, I parked at the end of the road and made my way in. A lovely big container too. TFTC brendon cairns

Found without too much trouble, tftc

Found it tftc

A quick walk around found us at the right area. Log signed and back on our way. TFTC

A nice little wander through the mangroves to this one.
A few mozzies about.
Nice size container.
Signed log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks brendon cairns All good with this cache

After getting a large amount of red soil stuck to my sneakers and a bit of bush bashing the cache was quickly retrieved singned the log book and returned it to its hifing place TFTC.

11/3/16 Out today caching with Marina25 to grab the caches needed for a certain monthly challenge. This was our first cache of the day and was a super quick and easy find. Marina25 traipsed plenty of mud back to the car, but thankfully the damp grass assisted in a quick clean before heading to our next cache. TFTC brendon cairns

Afternoon jog turned into a geohunt c:

difficult to get to but good find

Found while caching around Redlands with Gunnie69, as we tackled caches around Birkdale and Wellington Point. The main targets were the caches in the 4160 circuit series.

Thanks brendon cairns for the hunt and the cache!

I love stumbling across these little out of the way places while caching, it's a pretty neat part of the game... [^] On the trails with Ghostgums this morning, we pulled up at the end of the laneway and strolled a short distance to the general location.

After a brief search, we were still empty handed and stood back to scan the area... Err, what about over there we thought, to which Ghostgums made a move and quickly uncovered the sizable container... Very nice, well done for placing such a good sized container in this pocket of trees, great work.

Our names were added to the log and the cache tucked back. All done, we made tracks to the next.

I'll add a favourite to the collection, for the size of the container and a great little spot to place it.

Cheers brendon cairns.

Yay. Bit rough to get to but good cache. Thanks.

Sunday. Slow Puncture were down Capalaba way to see Kerry's Brother's family, and on the way back we thought we would pick up some randoms.

We parked down a quiet street and found a nice mown path which led us to near the cache. We then went bush (carefully) and found the container in short time. Nice size

Glad to say we made it home before the storms hit This was the 2nd of 4 caches found on this trip.

Thanks [Blue]brendon cairns[/Blue], for showing us this place.

On my way to do some Christmas-related shopping decided to take the opportunity to fill an empty spot in my caching calendar. Rolled through the posh streets and parked nearby. I have made some morning walks in the area, including the boardwalks in the vicinity but had never realised there's a passage here, too. The things you learn of your own and nearby neighbourhoods while caching. [^]

This took a few minutes to find and I actually had started my search a bit too far. When I was gradually making my way out of the GZ, suddenly realised I may be looking at a man-made addition to the area. And sure enough, the container was available.

You rarely see this construction used anymore for new caches but this one is well marked and should not cause any confusion should a muggle spot it. Well made.
Log signed, and things are all good here. TFTC, Brendon Cairns!

It was our last day in Australia, and of course blumen-wiese and I spent it together with Mojo1001, looking for some caches. After visiting King's Island we strolled around in the Wellington Point area for some
more caches. This one couldn't hide for long. Very nice cache container!
Thanks for the cache and greetings from Austria!

On our last day in Australia, Oztriaco and I spend the day with Mojo1001 to find some caches. We found that one very quickly. TFTC!

Found it and swapped a trinket and signed book

Great find! A bit of a task at night dodging spiders.

Nice and large box! Easy find together with blumenwiese and oztriaco. TFTC

A new cache that was putting a mark in the middle of the area which I have been keeping clear of little boxes and so I had to find it.

I decided a=on a parking spot and then headed bush and followed a faint path in the right direction.

Luckily it was dry under foot and I soon arrived at the search location and spotted the hide.

I signed the log and made my way out an easier route and past the lovely little lake that is hidden in there.

TFTC I enjoyed the experience.

Found another one that I forgot to log. Was out with OrionJ when he said he was going to look for this one since he needed one for this date. I was happy to go along and add another one to our list. After parking nearby we headed along the grassy path until we arrived as near to GZ as it would take us. A short walk into the bush and we arrived at GZ. It did not take too long before the right spot was found and we added our names to the log. Replaced cache as we found it. TFTC

Today was a bit of a up ended day, however still needed to get out and find a cache and since I was heading out to dinner with LHE Duo. Mrs LHE Duo came along to take a little look for this one with me.

We soon found ourselves at a decent spot to park for a short walk into GZ. We followed the grassy path and soon ducked into the trees. With a little look in the most obvious spot the cache was soon in hand and the log soon signed.

Riding through the nearby park I noticed it was full tide. This may not be good!
Arrived at GZ; location, cache and feet all dry. Delighted to sign this squeaky clean excellent cache... well done brendon cairns.

Quick find on my way to school Graduation at Wellington Point. Stopped off at one point and thought "How do I get there dressed like this" but rethought and moved location and I was very quick to have the log signed and returned. TFTC

It seems that I've become one of those people who drop everything when a new cache notification comes in. I think my wife thinks I'm crazy.

I was doing weights in the garage when my phone beeped. It was only 7km away so I shut the garage door and jumped in the car. I probably should have put proper shoes on first.

I've run and ridden through this area many times before so I was familiar with the area but parked a bit further away than I needed to because the traffic was frustrating me. This enabled me to enjoy a nice walk along the boardwalk though.

GZ is a nice secluded spot and I wasn't bothered by any passers by as I signed the clean log.

This was my first FTF. TFTC brendon cairns
