Council is still digging up the area

Apparently there is some form of construction going on. Will disable and have a look.

Construction still blocking the way

Not the usual saying but third time unlucky

I couldnt find it due to construction.

No sight due to construction

There is construction barricadeing you from the geo

Please check it, may be missing

Its not here

I suspected where this cache should have been, and I had a good search, but there didn't seem to be any cache there. Another blue frown to add to this series from me, and I would be surprised if the cache gets found after my visit (famous last words). Thanks anyway [Auswanderers](https://coord.info/PRPNR4J) for the cache placement.----------Merry Christmas! The family celebrated Christmas staying in Robina on the Gold Coast, which provided an opportunity to visit geocaches in the region.This afternoon, after catching up with friends and watching the thunderstorm roll through (and getting wet!), I had a few hours that I was able to find a few geocaches, and with no definitive plans, I ended up sticking to the coast/beaches, thinking that the wet weather would make the beach esplanades quieter than usual. I targeted my last remaining *Paradise Series* oldie geocaches, before finding a few *Beautiful Burleigh* and Palm Beach Power Trail (PBPT) geocaches between Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, and Currumbin. The weather was in complete contrast to the morning with sunshine and warmth, which was a welcome change to being outside today.

We looked for about 40 minutes for this one.... just couldn't put our hands on it

Tftc... we found this one last month but there is always muggles around here every weekend. It took a weekday to get it but there was no cache log. I did remember seeing it last time I was here. Tftc

Yep, Burleigh is beautiful and also muggle central on a Sunday...Searched around for awhile, muggles thinking we were searching for a stash...Obeying the clues in all the previous logs, found a most likely container with no logsheet, the kind CO's confirmed our find, but needs a corrected placement, TFTC Auswanderers

To many muffles ):

Easy find, on our lunch time walk.

Tftc

Found ok tftc

Easy find as the log was half sticking out. Will put back in tighter.TFTC

quick find tftc

Tftc

Definitely have to stand on something to retrieve and I feel so stupid that it was right there and so obvious hahahaha

In the Gold Coast for a conference. A day off today so ventured out with a kiwi local and two colleagues. This was a first for them. Great hide. Used a tool that was nearby. Not sure if it was there for this purpose or not but wouldn’t’ve been able to sign the log without it.

Tftc️

Definitely needed a tool for this one but got it in the end! Tftc:)

Found it, pretty well hidden!

Hard not to be seen locating this one! TFTC

Unable to log didn’t have a pen thanks for the cache

Tried and tried! I was on my own during the day with peak muggles! Spent a fair bit of time here looking (up high!) but to no avail. Disappointed with myself!

TFTC
Very clever hide. Took a bit of searching before
re-tracing our steps and finding the cache.
Definitely helps standing on something.

Don't bump your head

Not where I would have placed one, but found it anyway.
TFTC

Great one! Fun to find - up high!

Very cool. Hidden in a great spot.
Hint: up high!

A lot of fun! Thank god we did it at night

Well done! Great job on the hide. We were about to give up. The hint in this one is fantastic.

Mitch and Baxter got it

Hurray! Relieved to find this one. Thanks. Needs some patience and to be on the right side….

A reasonably quick find on a busy day tftc

Took a bit to get it out. Don’t even need to be in Powerbox section.

Hard to get out but found any way

DNF

Found it. Pretty hard to remove from spot tho.. might need a tool.

Sneaky but good hint.

Sneaky hide but we had an inkling of what to look for. Thanks for the cache!

Sneaky 1

My luck changed. I found one that had been a previous DNF!

Thanks to Auswanderers for the fun and the adventure.

Was just about to give up glad i didnt or i would have had 2 dnfs on this walk tftc

Nice hide TFTC JenneG and Budgy Nth Nowra NSW

Tricky one had us all around. Beautiful day and location. TFTC.

Sneaky

Very fun

Missed this one.....this time!

Ran out of light on this find with dusk falling upon us.

One for the next trip North in a years time.

Not too hard but did need to boost myself up a little bit to retrieve the cache.
Forgot a pen though
TFTC

Didn’t find this one

Had to walk past as someone was here.
Returned and clear.
BL made a quick find.
Nice , favourite point

Made the trip down here to do the Bravo hotel cache as well as a few other target caches.
The hides were all fun.
Few quite tricky ones to mix things up a bit

Surprisingly easy. Thanks to the comments to stand on something

Found. I was right UP for that one!

Thank you! Kids loved this one

There were a few clues from previous logs and a couple of red herrings. Go there though

Great cache!! Needed the notes in messages, but this was fun, thanks!!

First find for the little fellas!!

Found thanks

Thanks for the cache! Finally found one from the Auswanderers....

Good sneaky find. Thanks

My second go at this one. Last time, I came with granddaughter, dog and entourage, so wasn't able to spend much time focusing on the hunt. This time, having read some previous logs and with only the dog and geohubby in tow, it was a quick find. Very good hide - never seen one like it and well camouflaged. TFTC.

Very sneaky hide

Previous finders definitely gave a good nudge as to what to look for

Great hide. Thanks

This was such a cool hide! Had to read the comments to find it!

Excellent hide. Had to be sneaky around muggles. First cache find in Australia!

Little bit different to some of the other hides I've found - makes me wonder how many DNFs I can now recover. TFTC

Very well camouflaged

This one had us searching for a while. Very sneaky!

A walk along the beach and then in the park going back.
Rain meant that the place was empty.
Saw it but dismissed it at first.
Thank you for hiding this cache

156. This was super sneaky! Holy moly that’s cool, never seen one like this ever. Thanks so much for exposing me to new types of caches. Definitely had to stand up on the seat - wouldn’t know what I would be reaching for otherwise

Found by Leo after a bit of a leg up

Walking the length of Burleigh with TripleTurmoil after scoring a great carpark (much to my companions amazement)

With a little hot/cold action I managed to locate the cache… a clever hide…

so many distractions here today…

Glad I found it. Very clever

Definitely needed to stand on something

Very clever hide. Fortunately the place was deserted so was aable to spot it. Tftc

This cache has stumped us for a long time. As said ... made to fit the surroundings. Always a challenge in this high muggle area. Not where you first expect but having a good feel around you might just come up with the goods. Stand not sit ... tftc. Favourite

TFTC smile 10242 out and about with miss millie geo dog Hatzofff RoddyC Imbunda great friends, great day ,good weather very tricky
Thank you, Auswanderers, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Caching today with RoddyC imbunda and GS1947 in the Gold Coast area.

Nice TOTT left for us as we would never have reached it otherwise.

TFTCache Auswanderers

Another Sunday on the Gold Coadt with hatzofff, Grannysmith1947 and imbunda

Sneaky! So many muggles about.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 9:35 AM on October 24, 2021. TFTC, Auswanderers

Today's caching took us to the Gold Coast again and I was joined with RoddyC, Hatsoff and GrannySmith1947. It took a little while to find as there were Muggles about and we weren't looking in the right place. We had to use a nearby TOTT to really examine the area and locate a sneaky cache. Log signed and then replaced where found. TFTC

Very quick find, not sure the difficulty rating quite fits, definitely found it easier than previous in the series rated lower. Pays to have someone taller while searching. What you think it is, it is not, keep looking!

Manic+Trash!

Found it!
Very sneaky cache but very smart. Almost gave up but I'm glad I found it

TFTC

Found it.very sneaky. Didn't have a pen so took a photo. TFTC

Hunted around for a while, stumbling upon a couple of red herrings - including a very startled green tree frog - but once out my faith in the GPS, found something slightly askew. Stealth is the operative word here. I got extremely lucky that no one decided to have a picnic in this beautiful place! TFTC

Eventually got it. Tftc

Why did that take so long? Don't listen to whoever said 1.5m. Tricky sucker.

Found it but didn't have a pen so photo proof will do!

Yay!! Nice find!

After 3 DNF...finally we had success...yay Great cache and hiding spot. TFTC

Out for a hunt with IolantheK. These were our main target for the day. Easier to hunt with two and somehow, two people doing odd things seems less suss than one.

A fairly long hunt here resulted in a very luck find. IolantheK went where I had dismissed due to the T rating.

Out with teamdfl on the Gold Coast today.

Time for a bit of a wander along the beach, collecting this series. I got 7 smileys with 2 DNFs.

This is an excellent hide, and deserves a favourite point. TFTC, Auswanderers.

2nd time here. Found it this time. Bit of a sneaky hide. TFTC.

Took us a little while but were very happy to find this unique cache. Definitely a worth the FP from us.
TFTC as always was very enjoyable

Awesome hide that was ridiculous hard to get out. TFTC
