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.

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…

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.

We came across your cache, fixiejake, on our caching day around South Logan. We are in the company of Patrol14 and Snickersallan.

Nice quick find, true to hint.

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... Red Face 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... Big Grin

Cheers fixiejake.

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

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. Smile
 
07-May-16
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. Cool 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. Wink

A nice quick find here. Co-ordinates seemed OK to me. [^]
 
26-Apr-16
reactivated as per recommendation of previous 2 logs.
 
26-Apr-16
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

**Smilie #3908**

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. Smile
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!
 
06-Feb-16
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.
 
03-Feb-16
Thanks crew 153, if anyone has better luck with the coordinates he posted in his log please let me know and i'll update.
 
02-Feb-16
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.

Nice one Big Grin My GPS was a wee bit out but an easy find once I got to the right tree.

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. Smile

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.
