Clever! I havent seen one of those. Was fun. Thank you.

Out with Muggle65 and Brislions for a Mystery day today. Thank you for the fun Log replaced but needs some CO TLC

Out for an event today on the not so Sunny Coast. In the meantime we are out finding Puzzles. Gotta love improvisation only when employed properly. Cache maintenanced , signed & returned to hide.

I was up on the Sunshine Coast for event with GreenGecko1 and Muggle65 chasing a few mysteries. This was the next one on the list.rbutto thank you for placing and Duppers for maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.

A week away in Sunny Qld with my fav person Bogonghazy. Week away visiting my gorgeous daughter and partner. Hoping to get a whole lot more while we are here in sunny Qld. Thanks for placing the geocache

Up for a week from Wintery Victoria with LittleBoss2 to visit her daughter. So, while they're at work, LB2 and I had an easy choice to fill in our day. This didn't take long. Thanks duppers for maintaining

A quick find on the way into Maroochydore. Needs new log paper. Thanks.

Great hide first one I've seen of this type but thank goodness I knew it was possible or I probably would never have found it.

Out for a day of caching in the Twin Waters area. Had two attempts at this one. Spent a long time searching to no avail before returning with fresh eyes. Worked out we had been searching on the wrong side of the path TFTC, very creative. A FP from us.

Found on recent trip to QLDTFTC

Didnt think it was that. I thought it was part of it! Logged and placed back. Paper wet

Sunshine Motorway was transferred from leigh7900 to user Duppers

Finally found 2. For the day. Great spot. Need paper

Arrrrghhh… I had it in my mind that it was a different type of cache. I didn’t think it was this. Nice! Log was not wet, but limited space for writing. TFTC

Nice! Logged and replaced.

Quick easy find too wet to find see message for photo

I was here very early on in my return to caching. I spent a fair while looking a bit further away in a place that I thought a cache would be, but found nothing.

Now, with about 1000 more finds, it all makes sense and it was an easy find at GZ. Experience is a good thing. TFTC

No luck today

Great cache - great spot - too wet to sign

Great hide - needs a new piece of paper though

Accio 17:46:30
A rainy day on the sunny coast. A quick stop here and one for T4.

Thanks rbutto, maintained by leigh7900 for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #10825}*

Found it. Clever me!!

A few hours out caching with DoratheExplorer! I parked the geomobile nearby. We were headed to the final of a mystery cache when we realised that we would be walking past this one. When I checked my phone, I realised that I was 4m from GZ for this cache. I spun around and spotted something. Shortly after, I was adding our names to the log. TFTC

Quick and easy find and very clever.

Great hide! I love these ones tftc

Found it TFTC

leigh7900 I found your cache Sunshine Motorway on 14/7/2022, 12:45 pm. This is my find 3751 and find # 8 today. Not what I was expecting but I found it after a short search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Very sneaky, Just about to give up then success. Log is unweight able so. Please see photo in your message.
We are up from cold old Melbourne to hopefully sunny QLD and to do some geocaching. TFTC

A drive to the sunshine coast with Willis007 and Bella (geodog) to continue collecting caches on the sunshine coast LGA. Today was to continue with the Sunshine coast LGA challenge and to support E smileys Celebration event. We worked our way around the coastal areas collecting caches and spending time at caches that were not there . It was a fun day and will still have to come back again to this area to finish off the challenge.

After the event, we set off to conquer more caches in the area while working our way back home. We made our way down to Twin waters and saw a group of caches that we could have some fun with. This was a nice quick find and I nice walk along the path. We signed the log and replaced all as found, then continued on with our journey around here. Thanks for the cache, all good with this one, thanks.

On the lovely Sunshine Coast today for the Community Celebration Event with chamad and geopup, we stopped at some target caches on our journey south towards Brisbane.
A quick find here, log signed, all replaced as found.
Thanks rbutto and leigh7900 for placing and maintaining the cache.

Woo hoo! Found it!! Great quick find!

Where I thought I was going to look, there was a dead bird with flies on it, so I changed my mind in that location. I wasn’t 100% sure on the exact location of GZ so looked across the pathway too, but it would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack, as there was a lot of leaf litter and palm fronds over the rocks there. It’s been a while since it has been found, and my muggle-hubby was getting bored l, so I’ve marked it as a DNF

Nice cache, logbook was drenched needs replacing. Tftc rbutto, maintained by leigh7900

After a long pedal from the motorway bridge, I came here to find this sneaky cache. I had crossed the busy road at GZ thinking it was over the other side without looking at the app, but I soon realised my mistake, and with a sigh, I went back to waiting on the side of the road for the right interval in the commuters to cross. Once I was at GZ, it was only a short search until I found the clever cache, found one of these before, of which is unfortunately archived, so great to find another one! Thanks rbutto and leigh7900!

While staying at Bli Bli van park had the opportunity to go and find some caches. Thanks for the caches.

Too clever for me.

I’ve known about these but first time finding one so took me a little while but once it clicked after going back to the first place I looked I got that satisfying feeling of a find. A favourite point from me. TFTC

Great spot! Loved use of German for 1!

Last cache in Queensland for this year. I had time to make a quick stop on the way to MCY.

Thanks to all the Queensland COs that have made for a most enjoyable visit. Have a nice Christmas and hope to be back in the new year.

Nice quick find. I have a similar hide in Southport.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here rbutto, maintained by leigh7900. Enjoyed the hunt.

Need not have worried about having to head into the swamp. Log very wet but managed to sign. Coords spot on. Tftc

First find for the day. Giving a heart cause of sneakiness. Great bike track. Log is damp and half full. Tftc

A surprisingly quick find at gz.
Logs a little damp, still space for a few.
Thanks for the fun!

Don’t have a lot of caches around our way that look like this so I spent a while walking in circles before finally finding succes TFTC

Hehe, Mrs. Herbz found this one as Mr. Herbz was walking away to search elsewhere. TFTC.

On the way back to Brisbane after visiting my mum I always treat myself to a few smileys. Today I brought my bike and This was my 5th find.it took awhile to find this one. I Was on wrong side then thought logically. Love these types of caches. I had lost my pen somewhere between the last find but lucky my car was not too far away so I went back and got another pen to sign this log. Then after finding a couple of caches over the other side of the river I had a smile when I paddled past this one back to my car so giving it a fp. Thanks for the fun

Parked in the street before the entry to the cycleway and walked down to GZ for a quick find. TFTC

Quick find tftc

Good one....tfth

One last cache for the day while out and about with wombles.
I spotted this one quickly!

Thanks for the cache leigh7900

One last cache for the day.

No luck here today

I'm out and about with Mrs Slow Puncture today, we have a few target caches to get on the lovely (but rainy) Sunshine Coast

This was the last cache for the day, which was lucky as rain was on its way. It took us awhile to find the cache, we totally missed it on our first approach, DOH! Log signed, we made our way back to the car, past the lady selling blueberries on the side of the road. Needless to say I had to buy some, they were huge! TFTC and the blueberries rbutto

Thursday. This cache was only just down the road from where we’d collected another cache, so we couldn’t leave this one alone. After walking up to GZ, we did our usual search and actually came up with nothing. We used a camera – nothing there either! Let’s look at this spot from the direction we just came from – Yep! There it is Cache found. Log signed and replaced nicely back where we couldn’t see it the first time . This was our last cache find for the day, as I had the call to get back to Caboolture and pick up our car from its service. Rained on us on the way back home, so we did really well all in all with the rain and we managed to scoot around nearly all of it!

This was the 12th of 12 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***rbutto***, for showing us this place.

New log in place. Please note that there is a PAPER LOG to sign.

Great cache rbutto.A bit damp as can be expected.
Dried a little while logging.

Love these type of logs! A quick find while on a bike ride! TFTC!

A bike stroll will be nice here

Quick easy find

Checked on this today and replaced log.

Tuesday adventures with my amazing GeoWife and I out on a cache hunt. This was one of a few we found. Great hide and location! TFTC!

Geohubby WallabyTim and I decided to park four caches away and enjoy the lovely walk along the water. We went to the end to this cache first. Upon arriving at GZ I started looking at what caught my eye first. Nope, not there. So we turn out attention to a different area. Oh no, it's not another rock cache I hope. After about 10 minutes and a read through previous logs for any clues, WallabyTim put his hand on the cache. Love it! Thanks rbutto, I enjoy doing your series'

Our one and only find after hours of wasting time around time.
We'll email photo

I like these types of hides, very sneaky. TFTC

Nice quick cache cheers

We were slowly making our way home this morning, stopping for breakfast and one or two caches. It wasn’t a good start we had to leave a cache as soon as we were about to start searching as a lady rides in on her bike and has a rest right where we need to be, so that was busted, we had to leave it. The next cache we found a likely hidey hole and a little green frog was in it…which turned out not to be the cache, so we didn’t want to upset him so we moved along again with no find.

Attempt three for the morning and we were winners, in between the cyclists zooming by we were able to make the grab and sign our name on the nice clean log, peace was restored to the world, time for one more cache before breakfast…

On the Sunny Coast (Rainy coast today) for the Schoolboys state cricket championships this week.
With today’s play washed out I was able to turn my attention to picking up a few finds.
Instant find here. Log was wet but singable.
Thanks for placing.

Checked on this cache today. Added a new log. All good now.

With a free day to myself, a trip up the coast on a gorgeous sunny day was just the ticket. Nice "container", own one similar so it was a quick find

Thanks for the hunt **rbutto**, this find makes #4101.

Thank you for the cache

Nice hide - found by M - he found it not quite put correctly and that's what drew his attention to it. FP awarded. TFTC

I remember the construction of the bridge over the river,
and the community disapproval of the toll
The locals were so used to taking the long way round,
they didn't need to pay to get anywhere quicker

How things have changed !! [:o]
The modern Sunshine Coast has lost that relaxed,
attitude and everyone rushes around like a mad hare !!

At least they won the battle against the tolls
It wouldn't happen today

TFTC.

Took us awhile but we did it
Good hide

While staying at Nambour, I just had to get out and find a few caches with my geodog Scruffy.

All Good .. TFTC ..

Gotcha !!! TFTC

I love these hides - subtle - don't see a lot of them. Felt like I was parking in someone's yard, but he didn't give me a second look. The cache is in good nick, 5 spots left on this log.

At the time I spent my holidays south of the river so not surprised I'd forgotten it started with a toll.

TFTC rbutto.

Easy to get to GZ. Trickier to find the cache. TFTC

I looked for all the obvious tricky cache types with no success before thinking a little more outside the square and hey presto. Success. A very clever hide. TFTC.

Found it

This one took me a while, but it was a very rewarding find!

I was in the area today and decided to grab some caches that I had previously not found or not attempted. This was one of those caches.

After arriving at GZ I began to search and this took quite some time. All the obvious places and items were searched without luck. I referred to a PAF who provided me with a clue which after further investigation came up trumps.

I had seen this type of cache container before however on the initial search I had tunnel vision so I could not see it. This cache will get a favourite point from me.

All is good with this cache.

Find #1,051
