The Full Time siren is hooting on this one. Thanks to all finders and sorry to any who did not find.
 
26-Dec-21
Didn't look at the activity before I set out. Hasn't been found this year.
 
15-Dec-21
Too many dnfs to check out. Needs a check
 
10-Oct-21
Adding a DNF to this. I'd noted the two DNFs on this and while we were working out the coordinates for the nearby multi, looked through the logs and figured out what I might need to look for.

Obviously did not find it.

Thanks for bringing us here anyway.
 
10-May-21
We followed all the directions to gz but not to be found. There is what appears a hole at g zone that could be the mark of container location.
 
30-Jan-21
DNF today, not too sure if the overly long grass impacted our hunt. We will be back again soon!

Getting creative with cache hiding, but found

Plenty of ants to watch over the cache
 
26-Jan-20
The sun was shining and it was really starting to heat up, at least it felt that way to me. Arriving at a deserted oval I parked the car and wandered across to GZ. A quick find was made of this cleverly hidden container - a nicely chosen location for the hide.
Thanks Gazac.
 
20-Jan-20
Out for a stroll and search for a few caches. This was first on my list. Tftc

Log full. Good hide.
 
30-Sep-19
This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.
 
28-Sep-19
I have to admit to throwing this cache about a metre when I found it and got enveloped in an ants nest at the same time. With a little ant control (squishing) I was able to sign the log. Had no idea this place was here, TFTC. Log needs replacing as full.
 
13-Sep-19
Thanks for the cache, the log is full
 
05-Sep-19
#9579 - 13:30; Literally on a flying visit to Queensland and after transacting some business at the car dealership across the road I wandered over to grab this cache. There was a game of footy happening on the oval, but all quiet around GZ. Managed to find a spot along the edge to sign, but as others have said before me, the log is full! TFTC GazaC Smile
 
21-Jul-19
Footprint hunting. Needs new log. Thank you.

Sneaky one. Log is full.

Following car troubles nearby I bailed out and left the men to deal with the problem. I decided to walk to the Robina Town Centre and picked up this cache on the way. Yes, the log is still full and I had ants acattering everywhere. TFTC

[: P] Not much scoring happening here today ,except for one cache! Located, signed and replaced!! Thanks Gaza
 
28-Jul-18
Found while on our trip to the Gold Coast. Before watching the Robina Kangaroos pride match (starring our cousin), we pleasantly walked around the oval to get this cache. No muggles at this end of the ground, so it was a very quick find - excellent hide! Luckily we got it when we did because later on, GZ was practically sheltered with fans. Pen wouldn't work for the logbook so I've taken a photo with it in the background of the pride 50m line. TFTC GazaC!
 
05-Jul-18
I had to park down near the clubhouse and walk back as there is no close parking.

It didn't take long to spot the hiding spot.

Today was a day for geocachingWink. I packed a bag with some sandwiches, a banana, water and a powerbank and took the bikeSmile. I skipped a few where I really needed to do some bush bashing because I did not feel so comfortable about the possibility of encountering poisonous snakes... Maybe if I do it together with my Australian friend... The goal was to attempt to find "Rocket" and possibly get an FTF in Australia, but no luck...

This was one of the caches I logged today. It was a good thing I could sit right next to the cache and discreetly log it because there was someone walking his dog...

Greetings from Sweden!

Wow! what a huge ground - I simply can't imagine chasing a ball from one end of it to another. Of course I'm not fit..... Big Grin TFTC
 
11-Jun-18
All quiet here today though there were a few people about. I can imagine it would be much busier and noisier on match days. I'm really pleased I'm not going to be called upon to keep the score because I haven't quite got that far yet in my understanding of the game. TFTC Big Grin.

**# 21283** Found on our 2018 mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond. Wink
Another perfect final Autumn day for a trip to Robina while at the Gold Coast for a week. Wink
Lots of muggles around today and a few more good safe hides. Wink
No muggles at this GZ and a quick find.
Thanks for the cache GazaC,

29/4/18 Out with a newby to show her ropes with a few different types today. I love this hide and have given a favourite point. Love the simplicity but equally challenging if you are new to this. TFTC GazaC
 
27-Apr-18
Vey clever hiding place but easy enough to find quickly...an ant colony has decided it makes a great home behind this cache, so be prepared for ants to come pouring out when you pull it out. tftc

Sneaky hide. Tftc!
 
19-Jan-18
Last geocache for this afternoon on a hot walk, it was 30 degrees by the time I reached this cache so I decided to call it a day even though I had only been walking for around an hour or less. I was almost at the town centre too and was running out of close caches to walk too.

The coords were slightly out for this cache but it is obvious the cache is not on the fence as the description tells you where it is located. So it was still a quick find.

Very sneaky camo however!
TFTC GazaC, time to go into the air condititioning

New to geocaching and after several DNF was getting a tad disheartened but now have two finds in a row so feeling much happier

Great hiding spot and enjoyed the walk in the sun.

Tuesday 22 August 2017 - another glorious warm sunny Winter's afternoon in the mid twenties finding 4 from 4 caches (3 trads, 1 multi) walking more than 4km over 2.25hrs in the vicinity of the Robina Shopping Centre. MuggleDaughter was working nearby for the afternoon so I took the opportunity to both shop for her groceries and geocache afterwards. I enjoyed exploring the area on foot and discover uniques hidden locations in the burbs.

This is a clever and tricky hide so am surprised that there are no DNF because I thought that I was never going to find it with my GZ out my 5m. Great camo. TFTC GazaC.

19-Jul-17
On a drive down to Robina with my daughter to meet with a wedding cake maker and I mentioned there were a few caches nearby that I'd like to do and as an added bonus they were in a park so my granddaughter could have a bit of a play.
The ground was a bit wet as we made our way to this one but the cache was a quick and easy find.

Took a while but we found it ! A hole amounts the wood
 
25-May-17
There was no parking in the street for us today so we pulled into the footy ground car park that we ended up having to ourselves. After walking across the oval I was a little stumped as to were the Cache could be hidden, then all of a sudden I saw it. Cool, thanks for another Cache today GazaC.
 
17-May-17
Accurate coordinates and something interesting at GZ led to a quick find of a well crafted cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks GazaC for a good hide and for the cache.

I was raised with rugby union. When I first came in Australia my friends took me to a Carlton v Collingwood match. Since then I love a good game of AFL. Loved both the theme & location of this cache. TFTC

Such a nice view of the AFL grounds and the weather was perfect. Thank you CO for placing this cache. #TeamSneakySquirrels
 
28-Dec-16
Thought it was about time I filled in some smiles on my map that I have been meaning to do in this area for quite some time. It was a lovely stroll around the oval to nab the cache which was a nicely disguised hide, thanks GazaC and TFTC Smile

After being laid up for a couple of weeks it was good to get out and about down the GC a place I rarely visit let alone cache. Great to discover the back blocks around Robina and surrounds. Cool

Yes my CB discovered this one
 
12-Nov-16
The promise of balmy weather and so we headed south to the goldie for a, er, gentle caching run. A couple of nice walks and the obligatory tree climb and naturally there was beer and a thunderstorm somewhere along the trail

The geo-Buddy has a war wound so I was out of the car and on the way to GZ before he'd had a chance to refocus. We made a quick find here and apart from the ants it was all good The ants must have a nest behind the hidey hole.

TFTC GazaC!

We headed down this way from Coominya to attend an event at Varsity Lakes, boy has this area grown since we were last here. Co-ords are good and the cache easily spotted, that is to a geocacher. SL TFTC

A group geocaching afternoon in the Robina area with Gullivers Travels54, Patrol14, DiamonJs and Joojoo57

Ah, the ups and downs of team competition!
After re grouping at the Multi site, we made a quick dash across the grounds to find the cache OK. Nice hide.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 4.20pm on 30th August 2016. TFTC

After spending time with RoddyC, joojoo57, Gullivers Travels 54 and DiamonJs for a puzzle solving session, it was time for finding some caches in this area.
After finding Caged Critters, onto this one. Luckily no sport was being played today and had the field to ourselves. Cache found easily, clever hide. Logbook signed and returned.

Out for a few hours chasing a few select smilies. I need some more events for the Geocaching Olympics. Smile

This one will qualify me for the soccer event. Obviously it is not AFL season. Not a soul around on a Saturday afternoon. [^]

This is an interesting location for a football field. There could be some interesting rebounds form high kicks. Surprised

A nice quick find here with spot on co-ords. I upset a few ants, but all is well here. Wink

Up here from Sydney to catch up with the family. While everyone is at work decided to catch up with some caching. A nice easy find. TFTC Smile

After getting some information for the nearby Multi, I thought I would come and grab this one as the final for the multi was back by the car.

I headed around the field and soon spotted where my target was likely going to be. Almost no hunt was needed at all, as I soon spotted what I was chasing. I got the log signed and soon on my way to check out the multi.

My 3rd time down this way in two days so I thought I would reward myself and find a cache. Fortunately I chose this one and parked up the car and wandered around to GZ. A glorious morning to be out walking and looking for caches. Thanks for placing this one GazaC - I found it in good condition and thankfully signed the log before replacing it. Cheers! [^][^]

We skipped this after the multi and after walking on to find other caches , we decided to walk back to the car we left at the oval and drive down further, but first it was a walk across the nicely cut oval. As soon as we reached GZ, MW had the right angle for this and had it in her hand before I could look , enjoying your work Gaz ! Thanks Smile
 
22-Apr-16
I drive past here all the time but never knew this place existed, so thanks for bringing me here!
Clever little hiding spot, thanks
 
14-Apr-16
Making my way down through the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers, to stay overnight at the base of Mt Warning, with plans to make a sunrise climb to the summit in the morning.

Of course I couldn't resist making the most of my day, and sampling all these tasty treats on offer on the way down Big Grin.

This was first cab off the rank, a quick find once at the given coords. Luckily there weren't many places a thing could hide here!

---

This cache was found in good condition, and adds to our total of 2340 smilies. Thanks **GazaC** for showing us this spot. This log is trackable... discover our code TGQNRV, and please mention where you saw it.
 
12-Apr-16
Thanks for this one, spot is dear to me, watch my boyfriend play one of his best games here, of course he plays for bombers not kangaroos but that's okay. Was overcast today so no one around, nice easy find however I got a ton of ants on me thanks again
 
17-Mar-16
I was back in the area again this morning to find a few more that I missed a week ago. Thankfully it was sprinkling with rain again which probably kept the walkers away so I had GZ to myself this time.
On approach I spotted what looked like the score board but it was way off the mark, I couldn't see anywhere to hide a cache until I was nearly on top of it. Clever hide GazaC. Even under the power lines my phone was spot on. With the log signed and replaced as found it was onto the next.
Thanx again GC

We were staying at Robina for the weekend and this nearby cache filled a hidden date for me...perfect! A quick stop and a very short hunt revealed the clever hide. Tftc GazaC Big Grin

I am making my way slowly north today looking for a few caches on the way. Smile
After all the rain it was a soggy walk to GZ. The cache was dry though. Big Grin
A quick find with no one around. Cool
Thanks for the cache.
