Logs
I was out and about today and needed a caching break, I saw there was a cache nearby and it seemed like an easy find. I parked up and wondered in, following in a nicely mown grass path. Working my way around I came to GZ. Here is where it gets fun, I could not see anything that was an easy find (as per previous logs). I knew what I was looking for now thanks to a couple of mentions in previous logs but again NOTHING. Ok stop and think. Then I saw in the distance something that maybe a cache I wondered over and yep it was,
The cache is about five metres in off the path and about 8 metres from GZ, not sure if it has been moved here or this is the original hide but this might help.
Thanks for the cache and the fun here today, I signed the log and returned as found.

It was hard at first but it was wet it was a couple meters away form another big tree and the marker
But dirty, book is wet. Cant believe have been here since 2015. Off trail a bit and the pencil broken
Was about to give up but as I was walking away I saw it out of the corner of my eye at the base of the biggest tree there the pencil was broken but luckily I had a pen with me so I could sign the book
Nice little trek in the woods with King_clan family quick find for my man woo hoo! Well done
Out with pirate Linda and Peppa.. we let Peppa wander through the muddy patches to test the way! Thanks for the find Peppa!
Found with Peppa and 2manytrailers. Trailers and I may or may not have ditched Peppa half way through the mud traverse and changed to issuing moral support - from a distance
Out with PirateLinda and 2manytrailers for some Friday caching… after a DNF in Jingeri Park this was our next stop…
The cache was exactly as advertised… muddy path and local hounds… while my companions made sure I knew the way out by minding the path I trudged into GZ…
There was some back and forth and I ended up being about 10 metres from GZ according to Geepers today… the container has seen better days… I replaced the snap lock bags and returned everything as found… tftc…

Looked for 10mins and unable to find but did notice a lot of water had been throw and was still very wet
Tftc a little tricky to find but well worth the look for it replaced paper inside and filled with a few more swaps thanks again with Krista c1875
This cache was a little tricky but found it the end, needs a little maintenance as book is wet, left some cool swaps for the next geocaches to find.
Can’t see it from the trail so you will need to go off trail, might go back another day and put a fresh notepad since the one in there is wet.
Found it. Book is wet so cant leave our name in it. Alittle tricky to find. Look for biggest tree. Agent Ashton out.
A burn is planned for the area. Do not believe the cache will survive.
Next finder might just be able to collect burnt plastic from the base a a large tree.
Log is very wet.
Thank you for hiding this cache fixiejake

Poor Jerry has had a very hard blow to the head resulting to injury but he is still able to guard his cache. Took TB -Homing Instinct, as it has been there a long while. Signed log and replaced cache as found. TFTC
The caching maps showed a sneaky little path between the houses from the nearby street. Sadly, I couldn't find it so headed up to the main drag and headed South from along the fire trail. [^]
I shot off the path a little early and bush bashed more that I needed to, of course I only found that out when I arrived at GZ... Lucky the cache was a nice quick find...
With the log out, I added my name then tucked everything back into place. A quick preen of the feathers, Jerry's Bird was happy to sit and wait for the next visitor...
Cheers fixiejake.

I am heading to Tweed head and have allowed a few days caching along the way from Toowoomba.
Over 2 half days and 2 full days caching i found over 130 caches.
Today was a full day caching and found 50+ caches.
Found after a short search AND using the alternate co-ords.
Thanks for the cache.

dogs drove me crazy, mossies ate me even with repellant on, then I couldn't find the cache, will leave it for another day
Definitely got barked at; coordinates were a little out but the cache was easily spotted, cute cache. Tftc
Found it with my son Isaiah. Initially couldn't find it but then the coordinates posted in the comments was a lot better. Tftc. Beautiful.
I was going to take the tar option to this one, but I noticed a trail that looked like it was heading the right way. Very dry in here today. The sand sections were difficult to pedal through near GZ. Another one that the geocycle did not quite get too. too much grass in here.
A nice quick find here. Co-ordinates seemed OK to me. [^]

I was picking up a few nearby caches and saw this one had been disabled, but recently found. I made the short walk with the geodog and located it quickly. Great work on the container - very apt. I agree this should be kept where it is. TFTC fixiejake

In the area, briefly, so it would be almost criminal NOT to grab a cache or 5 before heading back north.
Yes, we spent about 10 minutes wandering around because the compass was keen on playing Hide & Seek.
However, not to be deterred, we persevered & finally stumbled across the prize! LOL ...
Once found, we let the compass settle & **S27° 43.815 E153° 02.872** worked best for us.
Not an ideal place to be chasing accurate co-ords but we, personally, think you should leave the cache active.
The previous co-ords did lead us to the base of a tree but we found it to be the wrong tree & about 10 metres out.
Nice cache & guardian!
Made our mark & replaced as found.

After a work meeting at Forest Lake this morning, I decided to do a few caches around Browns Plains. I used Crew's coordinates and found it easily. Such a pretty thing. TFTC!
No barking dogs for me today. I looked and looked and looked some more. A freak storm appeared out of nowhere and I got drenched. The GPS-r would not settle. Which hint would that be? Alas, I input this cache long ago and have not read recent logs.
Thanks crew 153, if anyone has better luck with the coordinates he posted in his log please let me know and i'll update.
I was out caching on a very hot day. A stroll along the firebreak and it wasn't long before the dogs discovered I was here and gave me a noisy welcome.
I headed through the loose sand bit and said thanks that it was dry and arrived at where the GPS was pointing and searched a few likely spot without locating the hide and then read the previous logs and widened my search until I found the neat little guy.
Thanks for bringing me here. I managed to sneak past the dogs on the return trip without alerting them. I have posted the coordinates that I read at the cache.

Another creative cache by fixiejake. Love all the creative caches he's making. TFTC
Took a slinky and left a small toy car

Love the bird. Very creative. A lady from one of the houses actually sung out to ask if everything was ok. Said yes then she said they had watched some people the other day looking in the bush. She wanted to know what was going on. Explained the geocaching thing and she was happy. She also explained her dog s a guard dog so will tell him to be quiet if she is there and others come looking. TFTC.
after enduring the local noisy dogs and a friendly neighbour we quickly found yet another novel fixie cache
Pretty spot. Bring the aeroguard and see if you can sneak past the dogs without setting them off. Tftc
After being out of action for a while, I decided to hit my next milestone of 300 finds before the New Year and what better way than with a fixiejake cache hide. Besides some annoying dogs barking and a muggle giving us death stares from a distance it wasn't long before we were out of sight and at GZ. Another great cache as always and easy to find. Would recommend mozzie repellant when doing this one, they were everywhere. TFTC, TNLNSL.
**FTF** We had just found a new cache in the area ,and noted that no logs have been logged on this one, after finding an access point (who reads the cache page anyway for parking cords) .The forthcoming storm did not deter us and we headed of down the path to GZ ,on the way the local dogs told every one we were here ,we made a quick find and signed the log TFTC And a Fav point
