I Like Traffic Lights Deep Beneath Bunyip Sleeps Maroochydore South, Queensland, Australia

After surveying the area a few times, I have come to the conclusion that there is not a suitable place to move the cache to in the vicinity of this signal box. The artwork is now gone anyway due to the box being replaced a little while ago. I have attached photos of the interesting artwork to another of my caches nearby so that they can still be seen by geocachers interested in signal box artwork. I'm sorry to see this one go but thanks to all those who found it or at least visited to look for it in its short 2 and a bit years life.

Missing, will replace in different location. Need to rework the puzzle. Won't be long.

No luck today

Got the success off the checker. Off to find the cache. No such luck though. Could not find. Shame

Got the coordinates and it was off to find the cache. But no luck. There seems to have been a bit of pruning having been done, so maybe it wasn't just us.

After having fun in the park and being ostracized by the art cartel we came to look for this cache. I had presolved this one after the checker disagreed 800 times. Thankfully 800 is my lucky number as that is how many times it took me to learn how to tie my shoe laces. My high school teachers were very patient.

On the walk over I spotted a cafe that had my name on it for the return reward. The only reason it had my name on it because I graffitied the window so I knew where my car was parked. Actually the coffee is highly recommended.

Off we set and had a quiet search coming up with nothing. The recent activity shed some light on the matter and I soon (read extensive search) had the bison tube in hand. I walked away to stamp the log but then it took all hands to find where it needed to be reattached. Patience is a virtue, stupidity is inherent. tftc

Found @ 0955hrs

After my last DNF, the CO kindly replaced cache.
Arrived at GZ and eventually with a little nudge found the cache.

Once log was signed everything was replaced as found.

Out for a maintenance run among other things today - this was #6 of 6 of my caches that I visited today. At least most of the caches were actually still there today, unlike my list to check last week - but alas, not this one.
As it hasn't been visited, let alone found for so long, I dug around a bit but could not uncover the cache in the area that I left it.
Replaced with a new container - hanging bison now so attached to nearby shrub so less likely to run away (hopefully...!)
Still near asparagus vine on rocks.
Happy hunting!

No sign of cache on or around rock area.

Can CO please confirm if still there.

No luck but will be back after solving the clues at home.

Last for the day

Well it's Thursday, which can only mean one thing...another caching day with barbbowman! We've come back up the Sunny Coast again today to continue with our ILTL adventures...can't wait to see what we're going to find!

Last cache for the day and thankfully it was a nice easy find. TFTC spiderwebbs4

Found with 1MinnieMoo, wombles, Teamnanabombana and Mrs Slow Puncture on a whirlwind wacky Wednesday caching adventure

Thanks for the cache spiderwebbs4

Out on the sunny/not sunny/sunny coast today with 1minniemoo nyssaflutterby mrsslowpuncture and teamnanabombana.
This was our second stop. A nice quick find here, lucky some of us knew some helpful info here. It wasn’t me though!

Wednesday. Forgot to log this one day found, so doing it now. Out and about today in the Sunshine Coast area with a group of caching ladies and found this one together. Luckily the rain held off for most of today!

Thanks ***spiderwebbs4***, for showing us this place.

5/9/18 11:39 am Find #2048
As we wandered over to this cache, Wombles&Co happened to read out the hint. I immediately saw what that related to, and walked straight up and grabbed it, much to the surprise of Team NanaBombana, who asked if I had found this cache before.
Thanks for the cache spiderwebbs4.

After working out the coords at home (thanks for providing the pics of the original signal box) I finally had the chance to grab it today. Very quick grab thanks to the hint! TFTC

A day of caching with stortigirls. Next, we headed to this one. With numbers quickly sorted, we were soon off to GZ. There, stortigirils had the cache in hand before I even got out of the geomobile! With our names added to the log and the cache returned to its spot, we continued on our way. TFTC

Off to the next cache, and we got our numbers from the comfort of the car before making the short journey to gz and quickly retrieving the cache. Tftc spiderwebbs4

Easy find on what has become a hot day to walk and walk and walk and find. Tftc easy when you get the hint

Sitting down for some brunch, we worked out the final, and all was needed was a short midday stroll for a quick find at gz. Thanks spiderwebbs4 for a great series! Found about two in the pm. Find number 1055.

While camping in Landsborough for a few days with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to get out and try finding a few caches ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

#15962. Good to get off the main road for a bit (luckily the right turn to get back on to it was easily done). TFTC.

It's been several years since StreetWalker and I were last in Buderim, so that was the target for this mornings caching raid, our last full day on the Sunshine Coast.
A quick find in a quiet location.
I hope the signal box is repainted! TFTC.

Oh this one had me going on for awhile yesterday when trying to get the decryption correct. The checker was not on my side as I hadn’t seen something in the pics that was there and the final container is not hidden where I had assumed it would have been

Tragedy has struck!
I was driving past today and noticed that there is a new signal box in this position and the beautiful artwork, Deep Beneath the Bunyip Sleeps is gone!
I have added a few more photos of the former artwork, so you should be able to still get the answers to all of the clues and lament the loss of a great piece of art...
Happy hunting...

We had an encounter with a little tree snake.... quite cute ! Ge okie didn’t think so! TFTC

Another find in this series. Some serious counting here. Wasn’t sure which street you meant and then realised that was an easy one. TFTC again spiderwebbs4

We took a while getting the required information off the signal box as we had miss counted a few things. Just as we were finishing up and checking the final co-ordinates we were greeted by Team Benders who were out looking for the same caches as us but in the opposite order. After a short conversation we headed of to the final GZ. Once there we made a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC

Passed by WP1 to get a park and noticed 2 people at the 1st WP.
I headed down to start getting the info and met up with Jumpedin2it.
Nice to meet you after all this time as I had done some of your caches quite a few years ago.
Commenced getting the info and they headed off to the final.
I soon had what I needed and headed back to Geopartner to head to the final.
At the final it was a short hunt and the cache came to hand.
Signed the log and returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks spiderwebbs4 All good with this cache and puzzle

I grabbed the information I needed for this one last week and sat at home and worked out the co-ords.

Today I was on my way home from Mooloolaba and detoured to GZ and a quick find.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Second go.....tracked the little critter down

Joint *FTF*
Found at 3.15pm with the help of dickbev (mainly Bev!)

I had solved the puzzle earlier and correctly worked out the coords. When I drove to GZ, there were muggles across the road who all gawked at me when I parked the car. I decided to leave and come back later.
As it happened, dickbev was in the area and was close to finding GZ. I drove back there and met up with the keen geocachers.
Dick was prodding and poking like crazy, I had a bit of a look around, but couldn't help noticing a woman across the road staring intently at us :-/
Eventually, Bev made the find without too much effort and put us males to shame
We signed the logsheet as a joint FTF and made our merry way home.

TFTC! spiderwebbs4

Joint FTF. Arrived near GZ and were keeping an eye out for muggles across the road while starting our search when another car drove up behind us - good to see you again electro_man. Searched for a while before the men started chatting and left me to find the cache - so I dutifully obliged. And they have the cheek to say that women can talk!!!! TFTC spiderwebbs4
