Busy day today with a baby shower and packing up to go away so a quick cache close to home to keep my daily streak going! Day number 83 today. TFTC
out with geograndson, thank goodness for shaded area on this very warm afternoonTFTC
After battling my phone which spent while blunting around, I caught a glimpse of the cache, and the spider that was resting with it. Thanks for the fun
Found it in fading light and GPS as scatty as the Mad Hatter! All in good condition, except the bunny's ears. Giddy up
We spent couple of hours in this area to refresh our memories and get some of the caches nearby.This was one of them. We found it and signed the log.Tftc 1MinnieMoo
Out with my muggle brother and TBU1BIKESU to find more smilies. Found the cache and signed the log. Tftc A fav point from me
Bunny got some broken ears before we got here cache is in semuli good condition. TFTC.
Took a bit of searching - mainly because I looked at the correct hide at the start of my search, but not well enough it seems! TFTC.
Such a beautiful scene, I said Wowwww when I saw it. Thank you for letting me know that there is such a beautiful rainforest near where I live. It took about 20 minutes to look but I couldn't find it. I read the messages from the previous people. One said, "Just walk around.". I didn't have much hope so I just kept walking around, but I actually found it haha, GPS navigation is quite bad, so if you just look where the GPS points you, you won't find it.TFTC <3
Quiet balmy Sunday afternoon in South East Queensland and there was just enough time to pick up a few North side caches before sundown. Popped out and picked up this cache which was found relatively quickly, log signed and safely returned read for the next lucky cacher to locate. A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found by fellow cachersCheers
Poor little fella has seen better days. His home has been upended and he is now completely deaf. I had done some running repairs with what I had in the car, replaced the logsheet and moved him slightly into a new neighbouring waterside home for the time being. New coords taken at S 027 22.053' E 152 59.149Watch those mozzies in the wet season!

Found the cheeky little bugger. Log needs replacing, as the log container cap is missing, and it is full to the brim. TFTC!
Back in the area today and called in to try to avenge my DNF on this one from last time. Happy to say I found the little fellow safely tucked away. Log needs replacing as it is brimful. TFTC
Found after a bit of searching around. Might need some maintenance, not sure if hes meant to be on the ground. TFTC (tweezers needed for log)
If your cache was attached to this tree between the 6 nails, it has been lost or removed sadly
The log was too full and laminated and couldn’t leave our names. But we found it
1MinnieMoo I found your cache Late For An Important Date on 28/4/2023, 12:25 pm. This is my find 5131 and find # 2 today. Found it after a brief search. Clever camouflage. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
On this Saturday afternoon I went hunting for an excuse to get out. A vague collection of geocaches on my long to-do list up north did just that. Quite the opposite of late for anything important, I was really killing a Saturday afternoon. I'd been almost to Redcliffe, and chose to come down the western suburbs here.
This geocache is on my list, so I was keen to grab it. Storms had threatened earlier in the day but not manifested this far north, so we should be good. I parked opposite and walked in. I was surprised to find a full-on boardwalk in here! Just lovely. I walked along then realised one needs to depart said boardwalk.
In the distance I could hear some kids in a swimming pool; doubtless clear and blue. I was about to jump down into a crispy, dried-mud creekbed. The contrast, eh. No mosquitoes for me, but I did manage to face-plant into a few spiderwebs.
At GZ I began poking about. I had an idea what I was looking for, but it gave me nothing. A flip through the listing to refresh my head, and still couldn't find it. I looked at some previous logs, and looked up at the geocache. I can understand why I'd missed it - it was entirely out in the open. Blindness, it seems.
Within was the logbook and it was even dry (took a little jiggle to get each out). At 16:15 I signed the log and put it all back together. The tether is still strong, so I poked/wedged the container back into the only item nearby. I don't think it's meant to be hard to find, but I am a champ at making a D1.5 into a D4.5. Keeping the reputation alive! Thanks for this fun little geocache, 1MinnieMoo

We were in the area, so decided to find this cache on our regular Tuesday Afternoon Caching Sesh. Shazzar66 spotted the cute container, which is looking a little worse for wear. Log was signed and cache replaced where we found it. TFTC
We had encountered a few mosquitos today but none near this cache. The ones we had run into were all the big scotch grey ones and easy to handle.
In fact scotch grey mosquitos must be the red-headed stepchild of the insect kingdom. They are so big and stupid and when they land on you they are just begging to be slapped. Other mosquitos must look at them and laugh.
Mrs Woodyrothwell also seems to really like slapping them when they land on my back. I just wish a few of them would occasionally land on my backside because that kind of slap would be way more enjoyable. tftc

I’ve been saving this one up to help me qualify for a challenge. Unfortunately I almost forgot so ended up here just as the light was fading. Not a great time to be hunting. Thankfully, the cute little container was sitting proudly, cleared of all camo and debris and was nice and easy to spot. TFTC 1MinnieMoo
GPS bounces around like a rabbit. Had to read other geocachers comments and put on my caching logic hat. Once I did that it didn't take too long. Easy to miss otherwise, as it blends in. A nice tricky but not impossible find. Tftc
Dropped in to check on this one today after a few dnfs. Water has been through the area but the cache is still tethered and good to find.
No cache but the trip was made worthwhile by the rather large water dragon resting comfortably on the tree branch right at head height as I went to check in the hollow.
Nice shady spot but too wild a catch for me - phone gps dodging all over the place - like this cache was hopping about. Closest I got was 5m. Maybe the scrub turkeys got it or it's in the belly of a scrub python
Out with E_Smiley where we enjoyed finding this 'Other' cache. Catching up on some late logging and thanks CO for the good hide.

Another quick find by Snickersallan. Poor thing one prominent feature was missing.
Thanks for the cache 1MinnieMoo. Nice place.

So happy it stopped raining for a bit here this morning. It took us a fair while here too. Phone was jumping all over the place but enjoyed exploring this gorgeous rainforest. Just as we were about to give up we saw what we needed to find! We jumped in joy! How gorgeous it is! So clever ️ thank you for this hide
1Minniemoo and I set out on a mission, a few caches for her and a heap for me, trying to get some numbers up before the weekend. We spent the day filling in gaps on my map.
Today we are definitely down the rabbit hole...
Visited with the Co who did some tether repairs while I signed the log.
What a cute little cache.

I was on the way home from work this afternoon with just enough daylight left for a quick cache. I hopped on over to this one, bouncing down the boardwalk and toward gz, The numbers were jumping but soon enough I found the carrot I was looking for. Luckily it was cool this afternoon, so no chance of being hot or cross I checked my pocketwatch and saw it was time to be getting home, so back to the car with a spring in my step. Tftc 1MinnieMoo!
Having built up the maximum allowed accrued time at work, I decided to take a couple of days off. Having been given no jobs to do at home, I dropped the geomonsters off at school and headed down to Bridgeman Downs to pick up a cache or two.
This one took me a little while to find as I was looking up rather than down.
All is well with the cache.
Thanks!!

Ah lovely to be out with a buddy. The dogs ran around wildly as we circled and circles with a head torch. Found after quite a while! Thanks for the fun times
This one was found today as we needed some caches to make up for the shortfall las week and what better way than done some nearby unfound caches. This one had the inspector thinking for a bit and trying to keep a geo pup under control is no easy feat. So on reviewing previous posts a bit of a wander was undertaken the prize was spotted, log book retrieved and promptly signed, then remember to roll the log nice and tight otherwise it will not fit.

Out for a pedal around on the geocycle this morning. Hopefully dodging the rain and finding some caches. A couple of Adventure Labs in the area and plenty of proper caches to be hunted.
A bit soggy underfoot here today, but thankfully not under water. Did a few laps around GZ before spotting it.

With the area looking like it had been underwater recently, I didn't think I would be able to locate the cache. I had a look through recent logs, that didn't help, so I just decided to take a step back and look around. "Ohhhh.. There you are" Very cute.
Log and cache still in great condition.

Found this morning with geopup after a shortly walk from home. I had planned on making my find yesterday, however, half way there the storm had me changing my plans.
We made it go a beautiful area and started the hunt. I was trying to be careful not to disturb the mozzies, my phone had me all over the place at the start. I consulted with Garmin who gave me a better idea. Before too long, I found the cutest little bunny looking straight at me.
The container and log were a little wet after the rain, I dried it enough to sign my name, shook out the container and replaced as found.
Thanks for bringing us here 1MinnieMoo, I didn't know this quaint area existed so close to home.

Found while on a short drive around the northern suburbs and after a quick search and several mozzy bites. TFTC.
Well hidden. I swear the cache was looking right at me the whole time I was wondering around in circles. Signed as j83 as my pen had trouble writing on the logsheet. Tftc
The cache name didn't make sense until I found the cache. Great work and good hide! The geokid really enjoyed it, and so did the muggle I bought with me (he is now a convert). TFTC!
What a great little hidden area you’ve taken us to here. I’ve passed by here a few times but never knew what was behind the trees. It didn’t take long before I spied the cache container and then the name of the cache made sense.
During my time here I was watched very closely by a nearby muggle scrub turkey who was perched on a high vantage point.
All good with the cache, TFTC
