A nice walk along the lake listening to bird life and trains! I got the wrong TOTT out of the car but luckily I still had the one needed! TFTC

Nice sneaky hide. Tftc!

Made a quick find here this morning. Lovely lake.

Quick find on my way to Parkrun. TFTC

Den Schatz haben wir gefunden, hatten jedoch keinen Stift dabei. Wir haben dann mit einem Lippenstift einen Punkt gemaltgoogle-translate:We found the treasure, but we didn't have a pen with us. We then drew a point with lipstick

New container in place, happy hunting!

New container has arrived. Will be replacing in the next week.

Checked this one this morning and its missing again... disabling until it can be replaced.

Spent a while looking but no luck

DNF

Had 4 of us and couldn't find it all, possibly missing?

Can’t open but a good find

Did a quick walk-by and the cache is still there.

Great cache on ya

I assume also missing after the huge storm recently? Definitely know where and what I looking for but buggered if I can find it! Any chance for a welfare check?

Tyy

Tftf

We found it! Such a smart hiding spot. Could have taken us a while if we didn't start feeling things

Back a second time. It was on the ground. Yahoo! Didnt write log as no pen. Will come back

LizzySparkle_Dazza I found your cache Shannara - Aborlon on 5/10/2022, 11:25 am. This is my find 4327 and find # 3 today. A quick and easy walk by. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

A lovely spot to place a cache which was found safe and dry. TFTC

This was needed for a challenge I am doing, and it was a quick easy to spot from afar, thanks for the hide, Lizzysparkle, all is in good condition here today

TFTC smile 14359 out and about with miss millie geo dog great caches, great day ,good weather, enjoying a good day a good walk‍

Wow

Very clever

Another play day planned with geofriends out Dayboro way but sickness changed that. So its just Peppa and I hitting the Moreton Region to find caches that help us on our way to qualifying for a few challenges on the Northside.

Made our way to GZ where we made a quick find. SL then returned as found.

TFTC LizzySparkle

The original plan for today was to tackle Dayboro… again… but with one of the team feeling unwell, a change of plans was called for… Patrol14 and I settled on Moreton LGA (for another challenge) and spent the day chasing anything that required a Special Tool (yet another challenge) or anything shiny that caught our attention…

A surprisingly quick find here… tftc…

Tftc

Found it

Great location, great cache.

Easy find

2279 - This afternoon after lunch I headed off to grab some caches in the Mango Hill area and this is the fourth one I found. I enjoyed a walk from Halpine Lake, east to Kinsellas Road East and then back past the Mango Hill Station to the overpass on Freshwater Creek Road, then back to this one. I actually knocked the cache before I saw it, but all was good when I wrote my name in the log at 3.14pm. Thanks for placing this one here LizzySparkle, it is still in good condition.

Happy to change this cache to a smiley. Found by Shazzar66. TFTC

#2 for the week. Found with Duppers. Second go at this one with another smiley face added to the map. (Thanks for finding and returning the cache to its spot.)

Quick find while enjoying walk around the lake.

Performing maintenance check nearby, came pass to check this one due to the DNF's on it. I happen to find it along the footpath and have replaced it. Happy hunting.

We assumed we knew what we were looking for here. Looked and felt around everywhere but couldn’t find the cache in any of the usual spots, or any unusual spots.

Could the CO please check that it’s still here?

Appears to be missing. CO, please check and replace if required.

Couldn’t sign the log as it was too damp

Might need replacing
Sorry didn’t have anything with me

Thanks for this one

Replaced with a similar container but no issues in opening this one.

Maintenance is needed on this one

I was able to find but couldn’t open it. TFTC .

TFTC! Mooo... Found it but it was very rusty. Could not open cache.

On my lovely walk this morning I found this one but it is very rusted together so could not access the log. I have sent a pic to the CO. Thanks LizzySparkle for the cache.

Sneaky. Thought I lost my marbles but I must be a screw loose.

Need tweezers for the log

Thanks

TFTC. easy to find. To get log out. Flick down hard and it will come out or bring tweezers

I took this week off, but it's been quiet as I hurt my back on Monday. Determined to get out today, I headed over to Mango Hill to pick up a few caches.

I spotted this as I was walking towards GZ even though it blends into it's surroundings.

Thanks!!

TFTC Cool cache

Tftc. Nice spot.

Out bolting around the lake and stopped for both this cache and the view. TFTC

Really enjoyed finding this one with Nagem18 and Summah. TFTC.

Loved this one. Looked at it and thought surely not, but it was.

Took a little detour off the bikeway to cycle around this pretty lake. A nice quick find at GZ. TFTC LizzySparkle_Dazza

What a very pleasant spot to cycle around. We were graced by the presence of a beautiful water bird craning his neck around, but also plagued by many mosquitoes and a rainshower. Luckily we had seen this type of geocache before and therefore made a very quick find at GZ, which was appreciated.
TFTC, LizzySparkle_Dazza. =^.^=

Unintentional mini milestone with this cache - #2200!

This cache was selected for it's rather unique DT, size and attributes. I had no idea what ToTT might be required, and clearly selected a ToTT far larger than what was necessary. It must have looked quite comical from a distance when I found a way to use my large ToTT for micro surgery once the cache was located.

I had a muggle with me - a friend of my daughter, and she is now a convert. Walking back to the car I had to explain the large ToTT to a dog walker - that was quite the experience. How do you explain tree fishing in just a few sentences? Try it! Hahahahaha.....

Thanks for a great cache LizzySparkle.

TB visits

1MinnieMoo and I were out and about and I decided to grab this one for a nearby Challenge cache.

We parked up and made our way to GZ. Thankfully, we found the cache easily enough - but O the Mozzies. We could not retrieve the cache easily. Back to the car. We eventually got the log out, and signed it.

We then darted the cache back to its home being followed in hot pursuit by a swarm of mosquitoes. A great little place for a cache. I am sure the recent rain is the reason for the mozzies. TFTC LizzySparkle_Dazza

Little bike tour this morning to collect a few nearby caches until the magpies took my motivation...

Continuing on... I went straight to the spot and saw a familiar item... yes, again my tweezers were essential!
TFTC which is a good variation on the other nanos.

Cache replaced with a new container. The last one was no longer blending in.

Happy caching!

A nice easy find today.
Log sheet is due for replacement but great hide!

Quick find, managed to remove log but pen wouldn't write on all weather log

Quick find, managed to remove log but pen wouldn't write on all weather log

Out today for a quick trip collecting caches that keep my streak alive and to fill in some blanks on my 360 degrees map. This was one of those required, cache was a reasonable quick find. However the cache log is very full and requires replacing. It was hard to get a signature on the paper.
Thanks for the cache, a great idea and location.

That was a great hide. Could get the log out so here is some photographic evidence. TFTC.

Out and about with swearah for some caching adventures today. I love to ding these little hides. We managed to squeeze our names on the log. Tftc

Nice little walk along here. Jodsta83 made the find quickly. TFTC

What a beaut outing on a slightly cooler morning, ‘tho it warmed up by the time we returned to base Pedalled around 30 kliks with Beardman75 from Petrie station to Kippa-Ring and back. The trip east was punctuated by Stargates and a few side bites. Pretty sure I was running on Red Bull on the much quicker trip back Logged 21 finds, 6 + 1 bonus DNF Hope to be back on the bike to clean up the map

TFTC LizzySparkle Love the map!

Ms Maddy and I met up at Petrie Station for a ride to Kippa Ring and some caching along the way. It was overcast and cool when we started at 8am but quite sunny and warm by the time we arrived back at Petrie Station around 1pm. We found 21 caches and unfortunately DNF'd 6 caches but it was a fun morning out and the muffin at the turnaround point was well earned. Thanks for the cache

Found this tricky little fella but could not remove the log from the nano. Photo proof of find great cache attached.

Geo-wife in Brisbane visiting relatives, and waiting for Mr Drover to join her.
Went for a walk by the lake and grabbed a couple of caches.
This cache was a good hide and the area was lovely.
Many thanks for placing this cache, LizzySparkle_Dazza, for us and others to find.

Quick find TFTC

Today we are chasing clues to find the jewels stolen from the museum so that we can return them and get the thieves put in jail. SL TFTC

Found it but couldn't get the log out

Glad I had my TOTT with me! A quick find; saw it from afar, then a dash to train with 1 min to make it! TFTC

**# 24706** Found on our 2019 trip to Qld for winter.
A fine Winter day for a drive around the suburbs again.
Not many muggles around today and a few good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache LizzySparkle_Dazza,

And before we even got off of our bikes. Luckily we had the suitable for retrieving tool thanks

As the previous finder indicated, the log is jammed in. I tried a couple of things, but to no avail. Happy to provide a photo of the cache if the owner requires. TFTC
