Episode 10 - "The One with the Monkey" Margate, Queensland, Australia
By 4ando on 09-Jan-16. Waypoint GC69DQ8

We took a close look despite the last entry and couldn't spot anything. Definitely worth a look from the owner.

Not maintaining these caches anymore

DNF looked under, all the way and each step. Got muggled by couple who live across the road who had spotted catchers in the past and they wanted to know what we were doing. Even they helped looking. Five of us!! Still could not find it. They did say the sea had been washing under and over the board walk a few days ago so it may be worth s CO visit.

Thx for this cache! Cheers Peter

Am Nachnittag noch eine kleinen Badestopp eigelegt, so konnten wir auch hier fündig werden.
Vielen Dank an 4ando sagt der Steinbeißer98 aus Germany

Out and about with Muggle Jane on a superb summer day, didn't have to get too sandy. Thanks for the fun.

It's not every day you hop up at 5am in another state, go for a run, lay in the sand and hide to find a group hey but that's what us GC do to get a smilie!

Great to be out caching and this was one we targetted and found. Thanks to 4ando for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

We are a team of three: Roaming Romy, SetRite and AussiePam up from darkest Sydney, on our way from a graduation in Brisbane to a family catch-up on Bribie Island. We are loving our Queensland adventure and of course hunting a cache or three as we go.
Roaming Romy is familiar (very) with Friends... other team members less so, but we are now intending to catch up with the series.
Thank you 4ando for these fun caches.

something close to home as a short day for rio and i today

found u this time

It's Thursday so that means just one thing...it's time to go caching!

Wow, it's windy by the bay today. Even the seagulls are flying backwards. We had an inkling of where the cache was, so we followed the clue and soon found what we were looking for. TFTC 4ando

A quick scramble here and the cache was produced. Good thing it's relatively quiet here today.

Tftc thank goodness I didn’t need to get too sandy

Quick find after I decided to get sandy. TFTC

Out for a quick cache before my seminar and DiamonJs decided she had to get down for this one and made a quick find. TFTC

Late night geo with phone GPS but no success we will be back

Nearly gave up moved away from the stairs, which helped! Tftc

Nice hide. Found on a very windy day....no muggles about

Got it TFTC

Ttfc! Got nice and sandy :p

Second find on a flying visit to Redcliffe. Nice and quick. TFTC.

Wow the wind has really whipped up here since we got here earlier today. A quick duck away from the wind for some shelter and a cache. Tftc

Thanks.

Found easily enough after a very short search tftc.

Fulldeck to the rescue again. Who gets sick in Brissy? Me... tftc

aaaargh! what a great day for a pirate adventure! Blue sky, warm sun, balmy briny, n plenty o treasure to find. Perfect! Oh, and plenty of muggles to make scrub the deck n walk the plank for a little diversion, even better! TFTC

Tftf. Found with ruhlemann29

After attempting it once than re grouping and having another go we found it. Crash 28 thanks and tftc

Looked for a while got lots of attention from passing muggles gave up and moved on to the next one

Friday. SP were out at Clontarf and thought we would grab a happy cache when we were out.

Parked near GZ after nearly having someone run up our clacker. Found our way to GZ and waited for endless muggles to pass by. Kerrry went searching and it took a while and in the end we read the logs and that narrowed our area. Soon we had it in hand.

This was the only cache found on today's trip.

Thanks ***4ando***, for showing us this place.

TFTC

Found it 2nd attempt

This morning we headed to Ikea for breakfast. Following this we found a few caches in the area.
This took us to various locations & a good selection of caches found.
Hubby went for a ride on his bike while I collected the information for the EC. This is a great spot along the beach front.
Thanks for placing this cache 4ando

Spotted it from up top. Getting it was the tricky part. TFTC

Out doing the Redcliffe Rail Line Loop to Petrie and back home. 80 km and 13 caches. Not a bad morning.

Soon in had once i figured out I would need to leave the path.

Busy on good Friday bu found it ok

Out for a walk waiting for the start of the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race. Logged and replaced. Tftc

We were in Redcliffe today and we decided to find few a caches to add smiley's to the map . We parked within 25 meters of GZ and then started heading towards the cache site. We were searching GZ for 15 minutes until we accidently discovered the cache [:o)] . Thanks for the cache 4ando . TFTC!!!

Over from the USA for my Fathers funeral ,with a couple of days to spare before heading home ,decided to get in a couple of geocaches around Redcliffe ,great walk along the beach ,signed log TFTC

We decided to come visit Redcliff today on our little Brisbane escape. Mr Stormcatcher has many memories of this area growing up, sure has changed! Was interesting taking the new Redcliff/KipperRing train line to.
Didn't want to get too sandy, so after a good scan we decided to pass.

A nice Quick find. TFTC.

My first find in the Friends series. TFTC

Quick find on a great day out. TYFTC.

Great find 17 th January

Took the kids out to the lagoon for a swim this morning.

Stopped to grab a few smiles on the way home.
This was the last stop.

I reached a likely hiding spot and couldn't spot this one anywhere. I changed my angle of approach and soon felt a familiar shape in hand.

Signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache 4ando.

Find number 288 for me.

A little trickier but still a quick find. thanks!!

TFTC 2202# out and about with Cousin and friend Shabby69 who have just started Geocaching To day

We played in the sand. We tried to find it but couldn't. The adults found it later. TFTC

We parked across the road and approached GZ. Bugger, some swimmers had placed their belonging right next to the cache and kept an eye on us. So we moved on and came back later. At GZ, one of the previous cachers must have banged their head and left some hair in place. Ouch! Soon the little container was in our hands and our name added to the log book.
TFTC, 4ando

Quick find as a older lady with a walking frame was getting along the beach and picking bits up off the sand, maybe shells. She was too busy to bother about me. Signed and replaced. TFTC

We started the year with a big family holiday at Margate - it was pretty cool to rent a whole house for week and spend time with my brother and sister and their respective families, and my mum - all under the same roof. We had a fabulous time and created some really special memories.

After the kids had yet another unsuccessful morning fishing off the jetty with their Uncle Tom, we had a much more successful time caching instead!
We had lovely walk along the foreshore collecting shells and caches along the way!
Thanks for the cache today!

Found it on 5th January with Pirate 1st Mate. Made this one harder than I needed to but as my phone died this cache was located totally with GPS which is a first for me. I usually use both or just phone. TNLN SL Find number 545

No not a find for us today . Next time maybe. Tfth.

All we found was a heap of sand, although mum was lucky enough to whack her head on the handrail of the steps. What a bonus!

I think I made this harder than I needed to!
Got there in the end, thanks!

Tyftf

Awesome

TFTC, waited out some muggles enjoying some wine right at ground zero!

TFTC

Awesome

Took me at least 4 goes to get this one I am going to give it a favourite just because of the number of times I was here looking for it

Thanks to some of the hints we were able to find this one pretty quickly!

TFTC

Out for a quick trip with Wombles and co today to get the rest of the letters we need for December. After finding number 11 we decided to try our luck with this one. We had a fair idea of where to look and within about 5 mins of looking I found it. For future finders take my advice and learn from my mistake there is no need to get your whole body under its within an arms reach. So we signed and I showed wombles where I found and replaced and then we realised if you look closely then you can see it from the top but only if you know where to look and what to look for TFTC

We decided to try our luck with this one seeing as it was only a short walk away.
Rhobocacher made the sandy retrieval while I watched muggles

Sadly, logging dnf. Must have looked a bit sus with two geo oldies rolling around in the sand under the boardwalk.

While visiting the beach with family I managed a quick find of this one. Easy with the hint. Thanks 4ando.

we think someone thought we were trying to steal their car near area where we were looking but unable to come up with the goods, lots of rubbish in area

Bit sandy!!

Quick find this morning, although the sand is a bit 'sticky' today and took some removing before heading to work [B)]. Oh well, nothing they ain't seen before on me.
Thanks for placing this cache, 4ando. Found in good condition.
*{Overall find #4899}*

Geo wife had to find this one as I was lost and not seeing
TFTC

Miss Geo was in the area and grabbed this for for the family

A job for Minnie00 seeing she was in thongs,

Bend it, Bend it ..... Tftc

Found it.Tftc

We were out again this weekend on another bike ride.
Our journey took us around this area so called by to make the find.
TFTC

Stopped by with 1MinnieMoo to create a smiley. After a small look I noticed the beasty, 1MM also spotted a good amount of hair still attached to the structure close by I hope the last cacher isn't in need of a hair transplant? We happily signed the log and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache 4ando

14/08/2016, 12:52 PM Find #333
Took a nice little seat in the sand and NyssaFlutterby made the grab. I was a little concerned about the strands of hair that were attached very near to the cache - looks like another cacher may have bumped their head getting this one! Thanks for the cache 4ando.

Tyfc

Clever geowife took 5 min Tftc

Thanks geowife. Tftc

looked everywhere 30mins 3 of us under the stairs and boardwalk. any clues

Tftc

Found it

Was out GCing with KerriMG & Lenore1972 today and decided to try and finish the friends series.
This was stop number 10.
We had stopped here when doing the series in June but the rain drove us back to the car. Today Kerri went one way, me the other and it was Kerri who was made the find.
We have now tried to find all in this series but have a few DNF to rectify.
Thank you for a fun series. I did enjoy Friends in my uni days.

Our first day out caching in quite a few weeks with the usual team of Nikid1, Lenore1972 & I. We decided to finish off the friends series so headed over the bridge to Redcliffe on a beautiful sunny Brissy winters day.
This was the last one in the series for us today, we had briefly attempted this one before when we did the other half of the series but the rain drove us away before we had a proper look. No such problems today & we were soon at GZ searching away. I managed to choose the right spot this time & made the find. Log signed & replaced as found.
TFTC & the series 4ando, I had a fun time caching with friends.

found with brother from Brizzy TFTC

Still raining, so we decided to make this our last cache for the day. We parked nearby and made our way to GZ. I went one way and stortigirls the other. We were grateful for the protection from the rain while we searched. It wasnt long before I heard the familiar "Found it". We added our names to the log, rehid the cache and dashed back to the relatively warmer car. TFTC

Continuing on with our peninsula caching run in the rain we were glad for the "under" in this one. Someone had stuffed an advertising card in the container which made the log impossible to pull out and the bag ripped as we were extracting it. We replaced everything as well as we could, folding the plastic around to protect the log. May need a new bag soon, would have replaced for you if I had one with me. Tftc 4ando

Found it nice easy cache

I had a nice ride and found the cache. Unfortunately I could'nt sign the log because my pen ran out. I didn't feel like ride back to my daughter's house to get another pen. Next time I'll bring millions of pens in case. T.F.T.C

Tricky but got the right angle .
Always luv a good challenge .
Many thanks.

Nothing sus about a middle aged man ducking under the Boardwalk. Nothing at all. Eventually found and signed. Tftc 4ando

Awesome spot

Log was full so we added a piece of paper

With a bit of spare time on hand before an appointment at Redcliffe this morning for work, I decided to spend the time wisely an gather a few caches. Certainly a lovely sunny winter's morning to be down by the water. Had to wait for a few walkers to pass both on the path and on the beach. Looked in a couple of spots before locating the cache. TFTC

Found with Earthlight and 3LG
Tftc

Better log when back in SA
