Had a look for a good 10min and unfortunately didn’t find anything! Pretty sure I’m in the right spot, checked all the benches while I was there and still nothing!

Fairly quick find....few muggles & none sitting. A few water hens were curiousTFTC
 
09-Jun-19
Wasn't too busy here today but there were two muggles sitting on the seat next to where I was. I found nothing found from having a blind search with my hands as I sat down however after ten minutes the people left and I could lie down and look. After that I found this one pretty quick. TFTC.

Tftc. Was a lovely place to stop off after the chaos of the town centre. May have signed as the 2nd May, apparently I've lost a day this week.

I had to drop into the apple store to get some help from one of the geniuses, but I had some time before the store opened. This one over the road became my target.
I seem to recall finding another cache here a while back, which made grabbing this one an easy task.. Especially so early in the day. Hardest part was getting the wee scroll out and then back in, as is usually the case with these caches what with my fumbly fingers.
Cheers kronski75 for placing a nice convenient one here for a quick smiley. Thanks.

07-Feb-19
Up from Melbourne for a few days and on a visit to the shopping centre I stopped by to find this cache. It was lunchtime and there was a muggle sitting right where I wanted to be. I had to sit it out nearby. At the right opportunity I moved over and made the find. TFTC

18-Feb-18
Is this still there? Despite the hint we can't find it and spent ages looking. Maybe we are missing something.. Surely it can't be that hard?

All was quiet around here this evening. Quick find and enjoyed the peaceful surrounds. That was until on the way back to the car we encountered some youths with lots of time and energy. Tftc.

A quick trip to the coast saw us stop off at Robina for lunch and I left the missus doing some shopping while I ducked out for a couple of quick caches.

A short drive and I found a convenient parking spot in the nearby shopping strip and strolled down a path to GZ. I was thankful for the hint as the coordinates were a bit out but it still took me a couple of looks before I spotted the cache.

Greetings from Norfolk Island South Pacific. After a morning of shopping it was time to find a cache. As I strolled out of Robina Town Centre I spotted muggles on the seat. He was busy looking at something on his phone while his girlfriend was pacing up & down I figured that he would eventually get the message and leave. After a wait of 10 minutes he decided his girlfriend was more important than his phone and left. I promptly swooped and claimed the seat and quickly had the cache in hand. TFTC

The weather was grey and threatening to shower, so no smokers out today, not even many water birds hanging out in the top pond. TFTC
 
05-Oct-17
I remember another cache being here that I never did get to find. Today I am armed with the very generous hint provided for this new cache and it was a nice quick find in this beautiful location. Certainly a lovely place to sit and enjoy the surrounds and in particular the ducks!!
Thanks Kronski75 for placing and TFTC Smile

Aussie Liahona and I distracted muggles as they walked past by looking at the cute baby swans while DiamonJs went searching. We did learn from the muggles that just a week ago there were 6 baby swans and now there only 3 - hope they survive! Thanks Kronski75 for bringing us to this little bit of water bird paradise.
 
17-Sep-17
Last time we were here was the 19th August and there was a family having lunch and relaxing and taking their extended time. We waited for quite a while but couldn't out wait them. While we waited we admired the area and commented that there was only one swan. Today we saw two adult swans with three babies. Mum must have been on the nest when we were here before. Apparently there were 6 little goslings and then there were 4. Today we only saw 3. There must be hungry eels in the water here Sad. No problem with the cache or location today and we are happy our name is now on the log. Cheers and happy caching Kronski75!

What a gorgeous sight the babies made, but then we were disappointed to hear there used to be more:( While JooJoo57 and Aussie Liahona talked to the locals I moved in for the find, we all signed our names, replaced cache and we were on our way before any of the others were aware of why we were there.

Tuesday 22 August 2017 - another glorious warm sunny Winter's afternoon in the mid twenties finding 4 from 4 caches (3 trads, 1 multi) walking more than 4km over 2.25hrs in the vicinity of the Robina Shopping Centre. MuggleDaughter was working nearby for the afternoon so I took the opportunity to both shop for her groceries and geocache afterwards. I enjoyed exploring the area on foot and discover uniques hidden locations in the burbs.

This was a lovely peaceful warm place today, and a quick and easy find - a little harder to extract the log but got there in the end.. TFTC Kronski75.

There was no DNF, just a WCL (we couldn't look), because there was a family of muggles at GZ. We tried to out wait them but they were lunching in the shade and drinking cool drinks while we watched the black swan, the ducks and the other bird life enjoy the water. Finally we got too hot to wait any longer in this crazy hot winter weather we are having and gave up. We'll return another time. Thanks though Kronski75. This is a really great location for a cache and we are glad we came. We'll be back!

Another Kronski cache where I used to have one. Mine was stolen for it's little box replete with possum. Thanks Kronski.
 
09-Aug-17
Just got home saw the new cache 5 minutes drive and scored our first FTF. Had to outlast two teen muggles who were having a cuddle for about 10 minutes. Just stood nearby admiring the view of the ducks and swans until finally, we cramped their style enough for them to leave. Very generous description and hints there Kronski75 but TFTC
