This bison rocks! Birtinya, Queensland, Australia

Unable to replace at this time.

Hi shatt1987,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Half hearted look for this one. Without a container the possibilities are endless and possibly futile. Paper may not even exist without protection??!

I had a quick poke around but nothing appeared. Based on previous logs, this one might be worth checking.

Couldn’t find and searched every rock in the rock wall thinking maybe the rain washed stuff onto it

No container with this one only the log !!!

Pleased there is a nice breeze today as it took us a while to locate the cache but got it in the end and log signed. TFTC

Out and about in a Sunday afternoon on the coast.

Hmm a bison tube in a rock wall? Usually they're attached to something, hence the hole in the top! Not this one, it was just sitting there. A nearby muggle on her smoke break was just out if view, and after a few minutes of turning over rocks I found the right one and added my name to the logsheet.

Log signed at 11:31 and cache returned as found. Thanks for the smilie and bringing us here **shatt1987**. This log is trackable, mention where you saw it.

It has been such a long time since Mrs Just a Trifle has been able to join Raynersinoz for a day of caching that when the opportunity arose, she jumped in with both feet to once again enjoy the long missed days of caching fun.

Today, we elected to head to the Sunshine Coast and found some very good hides in some great places

We had no difficulty in locating this cache and with our names added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you shatt1987 for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Out and about with Mrs JAT - I can't believe it has been 12 months since we have been caching together. Today we started out in the wilds of Caloundra West - there are so many interesting caches in the area.

Arghhhhh, my least favourite type of cache hide. You'll be pleased to know it was Mrs JAT who made the find - after I'd looked at length in the same place 3 times and must have had my hand on the cache (at least 3 times). So pleased that I have a smiley for this one. TFTC shatt1987

Incorporated this one in to our bike ride around the lake today but despite a lengthy search we couldn't find the cache. Think we should have been more systematic in our approach to this one.
Thanks.

Didn’t take too long after reading the other logs and shifting rocks in the wall.

No joy today

With literally 3000 rocks on or in the wall and a GPS signal bouncing between 7 and 55m we had no hope! Only Jd time to turn over 500 rocks guess we will try again next time!

So sorry after spending forever and turning every stone we could we finally gave up. Will try again but sad face for now.

After a rocky start, we eventually found the cheeky thing! Tftcx

Found it after a short while of struggle. Leave no stone unturned

Well this one with a Difficulty rating of 1.5(?) took some finding and it was only with a nudge from Tessmann that on this occasion the cache was found. Like others, many stones were turned over and with GPS bouncing around my first few trips and hours were spent in fruitless searching. Lovely location but perhaps a slightly better hint or something might be in order. Nevertheless I'm pleased to put a yellow smiley face in this location. TFTC

Aarrrrrgh so hard to find this one, giving up. I swear we repositioned every rock on this wall. I’m so defeated. .......

Eldest boy found it climbing over the rocks.

Shene2me didnt want to let this one go

TFTC

Another dnf for here. As far as I am concerned the bison doesn't rock. Searched for hours over many occassions. Decided to rock on as smallwombat and I are so over this wall.

Ah man. I hate this wall.
Cue long time searching.. ... again.

nice peaceful location tftc

Yay, finally got a chance for a systematic search with the help of EJCat. We just looked carefully everywhere and eventually found it. We had our lunch nearby and headed off to the next one. Thanks shatt1987

Find 669

After a hard training session on teaching the geo-pup to find caches we went for a little stroll along the river.. so quiet and peaceful non-event days.. quick find.. thanks.. geo-pup thanks you for the view..

Tricky but found after a long lifting search TFTC

We always dread digging through rock walls but this one was an easy find.
TFTC

GPS is 2m out, go directly to the wall in front of where GPS says and start turning those rocks.

Unfortunately I didn’t have a pen to add my name so hopefully a picture of it is sufficient. TFTC

Quick easy find left new log as the old one was full

gps lead us a bit of a dance but carefully checking rock after rock got us there in the end. I had trouble with pen on wp paper, log very very full, wrote date and intials WC only.

Tftc log is full and requires replacement

Tftc. Log is full also.

Found

TFTC, log needs replacing asap as it is full and very faded.

Found with bigred17. Could not sign as log full. Tftc. Pursuit of the Planets #52

Needs new log

Great one. Very tricky. There is more than one rock wall.

Had a bit of trouble as the GPS location was a bit off but after looking at some logs we found it!

Log to full to sign:(
Will return another time to sign

Nice one. Log full, used gap where log faded or washed away.

Up the coast for the weekend, thought we'd try this set of lakeside caches.

Found quickly
TFTC

A late log - my GSAK records indicate I found this cache on 27 Nov 2017 - our last holiday up at the beach. Heading up to Maroochydore for a mid week getaway and catching up before refreshing my data. Remember parking and walking around the building to get to GZ. tftc

Found this one during my holidays in Australia. TFTC, Jenny_pet from Germany.

Cant find it. check it again please

Smaller cache Eva

We (SP, aged 10, and I) were waiting for one of my daughter's to start a concert nearby, so did some geocaching in the meantime. This was the easier of the two we had earmarked... and the one we didn't find.

We searched for a while, but the GPSr couldnt focus. We could get accuracy of 16m and the like. Why? Seemed clear overhead. It became frustrating, even though we did look for a while, but without success.

Knowing time was limited (had to get back to get concert tickets!), we decided to move onto the cache with a higher difficulty, and found that one. We got back just in time to buy tickets. And enjoyed the concert (while subtly checking the cricket score between songs).

TFTH shat1987. Another day.

Fun and easy

Found our first geocach

Log book is full here. This walking path around the lake was very quiet today thankfully so it was easy to search.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Found it buddy

Oh my. Out of luck here today. Both of our GPS's had us headed inside the carpark. Bit confused. Will try again another day

Sorry no pen to write in it

Good quick find with my roommate Gillocation

2nd time searching for this cache and found it quite quickly. Not sure how I missed it the first time!
Thanks for the cache

It's Sunday morning and my music group is bumping into the community centre for a performance this afternoon. But I'm not helping - I'm geocaching! TFTC

Found without spending too much time. Gps co ords spot on otherwise it could be difficult. Tftc tnlnsl

TFTC Mickezza one the ball today and found it quickly. TNLNSL

Didnt find think the cache is gone

3rd attempt for another dnf here.

A couple of young ladies had settled in on the balcony overlooking GZ so no chance to look today.

??

TFTC

Awesome

2nd attempt at this one and success was ours!
No-one seemed to be around even though the carpark at the nearby building was full. Last time we were chased away by rain and impending darkness, so with neither of these affecting us today, we had more luck. I had a cursory look around then read some logs for clues which did not really help, then starting uncovering random interesting rocks.
Not too long after the cache was uncovered. Yay!!
Good to cross this one off the list.

Today, IolantheK and myself, have planned a BIG day geocaching around the Sunshine Coast finding LOTS of them.
We had our first find around 6:30 am and our last find was about 6:00 pm with approximately 50 finds.
With both of us having cached around here before we sometimes had the case of this cache is for me and that cache is for you.
A quick detour for me alone as IolantheK has found this one already. [^]
A bit of searching before spotting the cache tucked away.
Thanks for the cache.

DNF

Found with geodaughter and samdoggy while visiting yoga fest

Found with a bit of help. TFTC

Found with Moscow rules, yay she's finally got her geo on! Co ordinates about 6 mtr off

With Trace the Ace. Nice & Easy TFTC

Time for a Wacky Wednesday with teamdfl [^]

A short walk along the river brought us to GZ, and we did some systematic searching and teamdfl made the find. TFTC, shatt1987.

Things were not going well today. Our luck was better here. We arrived just before school pick up traffic and managed to get a parking spot.

A short walk to GZ for a nice quick find thanks.

Was I lucky here - I nabbed it in 3 minutes it could easily have taken a lot longer I just looked in the correct spot early in the search .
Signed logsheet 7/10/2016 9:50 am and replaced all as found.

shatt1987 - TFTC.

Had a poke here and there, but too many muggles passing to do much more. I'll be back.

Nice spot! Tftc!

Lots of possible spots available to look in. The uploaded photo helped me narrow down the section of wall to search. Kids loved finding this one.

Tftc well hidden but didnt take any longer than 2 mins to find

Quick find before watching the soccer Grand Finals! TFTC

After picking J up from work, decided to have a look for this one nearby. Lots of school traffic but no-one down at this part of the lake. Found the wall but the gps would not settle - may have been the clouds. Looked in lots of nooks and crannies, but nothing of interest found. Then it started raining and we ran away....

While attending the 2016 Kids Teaching Kids conference, i showed the kids hiw Geocaching is done.
TFTC

Watched the paddle boarders for a while before the area was muggle free and I could begin my search. Nice easy find, all in good condition. TFTC shatt1987

Nice hide. You wouldnt read about it. Riding around the lake and stopped within a metre. Thought., that looks odd and yep, came up trumpz. Tftc

Great hiding spot thanks for the cache!

4:04PM Found In the company of SuzySquirrel and Stacevel. TFTC shatt1987!

#1064 @ 4:04pm
Our son had a friend over and the weather was beautiful so thought it would be great to get them out in the fresh air and sunshine.
We approached GZ and began the tedious hunt. Luckily it wasn't long before we had the cache in hand.
TFTC shatt1987

#1354 @ 4:04 PM. A great run here today. It is a beautiful walk along here. TFTC shatt1987!

TFTC

Out in the area today, this was next on our list.
It took quite a while and Geopartner was about to give up.
Just one more look and there it was.
Signed the log and returned to its hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks shatt1987 All good with this cache

We parked nearby and had a walk around the lake. It was really pleasant at this time of the day (mid morning) and all quiet here this morning. But just as we started searching, a group of kids biked by - surely they should be in school today? Once they were past, StreetWalker noticed that I had dislodged the cache and it was sitting out in the open!
Signed the log as best we could as our pen didn't like the paper - I think I managed to scrawl "Trood"! Tucked the cache away out of sight then carried on with our lakeside wander. TFTC.

#12821. There were lots of rocks at GZ, but luckily we quickly found the cache. TFTC.
