Our last day on the Gold Coast and before JDavs spews up on the roller coasters, theres time for a few caches. This cache looked interesting and the nosey neighbours were definitely on watch. Found the cache after a short search. Thanks Aussie LiahonaFind #6656
Visited GZ and have replaced the cache. PLEASE DO NOT PULL TOO HARD. PLEASE LEAVE IT IN PLACE AND JUST UNSCREW IT TO GET TO THE LOG.
MANY THANKS!!
MANY THANKS!!
We have returned from our trip to Victoria for the Rutherglen Mega and we will check on this one and see what has happened.
The owners of the nosy neighbours mentioned that it is not there, due to the council putting up new lights. If possible, check and see if it’s still there. Thank you.
The owners of the property told us that the Council took down the geocache to build some traffic lights. They pulled in which we were looking in their front yard lol. Anyway, I don’t think this geocache is there anymore but don’t let that stop you
On my way down to visit family up from Melbourne.
Quick stop to pick up a few caches whilst around the area.

We were on our way back to our accommodation from Mount Tambourine, and stopped here to find this cache.
It was all quiet at GZ and after a minute or so of searching I was lucky enough to spot the cache.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Aussie Liahona.

Found with Rach and Sarah on the way home from Mt Tambourine. Funny statues. We probably looked similar. Nice and dry cache contents. All is well. TFTC. ️
Initially got startled by the nosey neighbours!! Found with gorjess516 and rach_jean21
Came by today to check on this one and couldn’t see it. Such a pity. It’s been there a long time. We replaced the container and with a new log.
Cheers and happy caching!

With all the mention of quick finds whilst being watched we were hoping for the same. Unfortunately all that we found was a tether without a cache attached. The crowd was cheering us on but we had to leave cracking the sads. Thanks anyway
After an end-of-term corporate day at Top Golf, I decided to add some geo-value to the day by finding a cache or two. This one looked very convenient.
Super clever work here as the ‘neighbours’ gave me a chuckle! I thought about patting them down but the coords suggested otherwise, and I took the hint.
The container had a surprising amount of water inside which I duly emptied, and although the log is also damp, I could make my mark without too much trouble.
TFTC and amusement today.

Arrived at GZ to see a postie refilling his satchels. So I made a phone call and once that was done he too had finished. Said hi to the postie and made my way to GZ. Then there were the nosy neighbours to contend with but they seemed to be looking the other way. Nice quick find here. Signing duties done and all returned as found. TFTC Aussie Liahona.
After our little hill climb and abseiling adventure, Willis007 and I continued our caching day by grabbing a few more in the area and around Coomera before we headed home.
Oh my this was a fun find. We parked up and walked over to the cache it was quickly found. I had this feeling I was been watched the whole time, very funny. I loved this one and it is worthy of a favourite point from me.
We signed the log and replaced as found, then we were off to the next one in the area. Thanks for the hide, all good with this one.

We had quite the audience while we were here. Luckily the cache was quickly found.
Thanks Aussie Liahona for this fun cache.

For most of today, I had been on an [off-track group hike up at Green Mountains](https://coord.info/GL14NNT48). Despite 10 kilometres, I had refreshed and was feeling good. A carpool back to Canungra had me finding my own way home and I knew a couple of geocaches that deserve my attention while I take a less usual route back north.
I generally dislike geocaches so close to homes, so I had checked out some streetview in preparation. While it arguably gave away the joke, I was reassured that it would be a geocache easy enough to find too.
My phone took me a different route to what I would've done from the last geocache; but I won't argue with seeing a new bit of the world. I parked a little way down the street, and after waiting for a dog-walking muggle, I headed up towards GZ.
Stealthy-like, I approached from the tree side, and just as the app made my phone buzz for proximity, I spotted the geocache. I made a quick grab and sign and replaced all as found by 16:40. And dang it, those nosey neighbours certainly were looking at me! Hehe, good bit of fun here, thanks for the geocache, Aussie Liahona

Offered a spare seat on a roadtrip with The Rats and Wilbert67 to the Dayboro Mega, jumped at the chance to accept, and together with Steeba (who flew up), we joined forces to become “the Gong Gang” over the Easter weekend. Aside from the rain and threats of last minute border restrictions, it turned into 2500km of fun, finds and adventures. Thanks to the Gang for the invite, company and shared solves/searches and all the COs for the smiley opportunities. Apologies for the generic log (unless further comments required) but we got through a LOT!!
Found this cache as part of our Easter long-weekend road trip to the Dayboro mega event. A great adventure and plenty of finds, teamed up with Wilbert, Mizmaz and steeba for this roadtrip.
Many of our logs are signed with "Gong gang" to represent all four of us who were present. Apologise for the boiler style log.

The third day of our Queensland road trip already with the main goal of getting to Dayboro. Starting in Lennox head and slowly making our way past interesting caches. Good company in the Rats and Mizmaz all day.

The neighbours are all dog lovers I see... well that’s ok... thought I might have more of an issue here as this cache hasn’t been found in over six months... but it was all good... collected the Tb that has sat here so long it’s rusted... tftc...
The nosey neighbours had dressed up for Christmas today.
Enjoyed this cache, thank you!

Eskies5 and I left the nearby letterbox and though we would grab this one as we continued our way south to the CITO. A little hesitant to start off with until we realised the neighbours were friendly. A quick grab and we were able to sign our names. TFTC Aussie Liahona
Kestal and I headed south for a CITO in Tweed Heads. After grabbing a nearby cache my navigator directed me here. Initially baulked at where the gadget was pointing but after realising the neighbours were aware of the cache we went for it. Quick find and we were on our way. TFTC Aussie Liahona.
Nice easy one cool tenants smiling over the fence for company. these guys have watched me drive by most days but until now I have never stopped to say hi. TFTC
Love this cache! Out on a morning of caching nearby with EatAllThePie when we noticed this easy cache nearby - Originally we weren't sure about getting it because it seemed so close to houses, but not one to turn down a challenge, I convinced him to drive down and take a look!
After a quick look around we spotted it easily - But not before we were spotted by the nosey neighbours! Luckily for us they didn't seem to mind, so we signed the log, said our goodbyes and off we went! TFTC and the laughs!

Had a reasonably early night on New Year's Eve so felt energetic enough to hit some northern GC caches. Attempted while doing close by caches and dog started barking then 4 teenage girls walking up the footpath stopped and wanted to know what we were doing. Returned and quickly and quietly found and signed. TFTC Aussie Liahona
Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific. The location of this cache is so funny. Loved it. And a big Kia-ora to the nosey neighbours, and go the All Blacks. TFTC
Love a good cache in a high muggle area! Classic nosey neighbours here! Have been driving past this daily for the last week on a holiday in the area with the family and noted that we had to stop and get this on our last day. Pulled the car up and deployed the geosearchers x3. Soon had the cache located and logbook signed. Thanks for the cache!
This was a quick stop on the way home from a lovely day down here.
Saw the nosey neighbours and had a laugh at them before hunting for the cache. Took a few minutes to find it in the dark but got my name on the log and made my way home.

Nosey neighbours met some nosey cachers today. Zacgyver, the Sewrainbows and I pulled up near this cache and got out to have a good look. These guys were a real cracker of a surprise here, such a funny sight to see. Soon we reverted ourselves back to the hunt and Zacgyver came up with the goods.

Haha I love it here. Thank you CO for bringing us here. All is good with cache.
I came down to Coomera to attend the Upper Coomera - International GeoDay 2018 event. 1MinnieMoo gave me a ride back home and we stopped at a few caches on the way. Ha ha this is a good find. Took some photos of the nosy neighbours and then searched for the cache. I soon spotted it. Great container. TFTC
great hide found on international caching day....i asked the neighbours for the time but all they did was stare at me lol.....signed and replaced..tftc...giving this a fav point
TFTC mosey neighbours laughed at us looking for cache! Found quickly. Wet inside container. Dried as well as possible and put armoured rhino for security!! Caching with CrewFunSail from South Africa
Surprised one of the occupants of the nearby house. He was unaware of the cache. After a quick explanation of what geocaching is and assuring him I wasn’t trying to steal his car, cache was found and signed. TFTC and the real mosey neighbour!
A quick find thanks to a good clue... love the neighbours concept... no hiding from their stares. TFTC !!
Found with lisylou, bennyboppers, jemillalucy and REMSJW. Also known as the Tough Mothers and sign in as tm x 5.
Quick find with the tough mothers today, signed in as TMx5. Said hello to the nosey neighbors. Tftc
TFTC... 9/10/17. Tough Mothers 5 today, looking for smileys. This was one where there were muggles in a van while others looking over fence had hard, motionless stares lol.
Out on the way to a family members Birthday party and stopped here on the way.
The kids loved the neighbours.
Thank you

Nosey neighbours indeed!
They did leave us alone today long enough to make a quick find though.
Made our marks & replaced as found.
Managed to escape without attracting their attention.

I was out and about to find a few caches today. This was my firs find.
I was too busy, to begin with, admiring what great taste in rugby teams your friends have that it took some time to notice the gallery.
They sure are ardent Hurricanes supporters. Go the CANES.
A quick find and sign.

We've noticed these nosey people before but never stopped in for a chat. That's now been rectified! Thanks **Aussie Liahona** for bringing us here, this find makes #3570. Discover our trackable TGQNRV .
Needing a cache for my calendar matrix today, I just happened to be driving close by this suburb and did a little detour to check out what this nosey neighbours cache was all about. Ha ha, loved it, all along I was expecting to see cockatoos, galahs etc.
Thanks Aussie Liahona, cache is in good order and a favorite point from me simply for what greeted me near GZ combined with the applicable cache name

Geopartner expressed a wish today to visit the Glow Worm Caves so here we are on our way home again.
Missed this one on the way up.
Geopartner was quite impressed with the nosey neighbours, I thought he was going to stop for a chat and had to pull him away as he liked taking their photograph.
A nice quick find of the cache.

Pulled up, told Dahumbug it was 12m that way, and before I got out of the car he had it in his hand. Nice one. Been driving past these nosey neighbours for years, they always crack me up.
Lucky I don't have neighbors like these! Getting out of here post haste.. thanks for the cache!!
Quick find by geo buddy. Was wondering why the CO placed the cache here. But had a fright when geo buddy warned me 'there's the nosey neighbors!' Ha ha....
TFTC! not so hot where we are at the moment.

Geocaching around the Oxenford/Pacific Pines area today with Selva Girls. We pulled up behind a vehicle parked near GZ, and where we alighted from the Geovehicle, were startled by the 'Nosey Neighbors' and we all had a good chuckle. And then we found the cache.
Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.05am on 4th February 2017. TFTC

Out caching with Mr and Mrs RoddyC. We parked the car and wandered over to GZ, only to get a bit of a fright when we spotted the nosey neighbours. The cache was quickly located and the log signed before any more neighbours joined the ones we saw. TFTC
Well these certainly are an interesting feature! Parking in one of the nearby side streets I wandered along to GZ and giggled when I saw the nosey neighbours. With the silent introductions out of the way it was time to commence searching and the hide was soon spotted - I like these containers. Thanks to Aussie Liahona for the cache and highlighting this local piece of art.
Missing my family heaps, especially my baby granddaughter who was only 5 weeks old when I left for the UK back in July, I made a last minute decision to go home for christmas.
Due to a number of factors (not least of which was not having a car as I lent my car to my youngest daughter to use while I was travelling) I only found two caches while I was here, both of them today.
Today it wasn't quite as hot as it has been so my eldest daughter took me me out so that I could grab a couple of caches. She even knew where this one was when I described it to her!

Decided to get out and about today and go for a drive around the Mt Tamborine area. Always love caching around here as it gets me away from the rat race suburbian streets of the Gold Coast.
Had a lovely day out driving and picked up a good 18 caches so I was happy
First cache for the day, ive driven past this one a couple times and always say "must grab that one" well I did today. The "neighbours" watching over the fence at the moment gave me a bit of a fright as I thought they were real lol. Signed log and moved on quickly.

Out and about in the area today finding a few new caches that have appeared since I was last here or caches that I have missed on previous visits.
Again I am down the coast after 2 full days of geocaching on my way to Tweed Heads.
A quick find here today.

Who are those nosy parkers? They certainly keep an eagle eye on proceedings. TFTC.
TFTC! Would have been easier without the kids with me memorable cache. Glad we finally stopped in..
Yay! So glad we made the effort to find this one today. We had already bagged our 10 for the day, but on our way home we decided to stop here. Being a local the nosey neighbors have always caught my eye, it was nice to just say hello today and meet some new friends.
Thanks for setting this up, definitely a memorable find.
