Coords seemed to be a bit out, but the cache was hidden in a usual location so spotted eventually. TFTC!

Tftc. Actually found and log signed on 2/8/24. Just realised I hadn't logged it on the app. Just down the road from my place.

I thought I knew what this puzzle was but it turns out I was wrong. Once I realised what it really was it was nice and easy to solve.A quick trip out to audio puzzle land this afternoon to grab a few more. There were quite a few muggles walking by here so I had to look around discreetly. After a little while I spotted it and quickly retrieved and signed it without anyone noticing.Thanks for another clever puzzle and cache placement georode and Willis007!

Harry was transferred from georode to user Willis007

On the Northside of Brisbane with RoddyC and Hatzofff to attend a CITO but didn't find much rubbish. After the CITO ended we set off to find some caches, log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

What better way to fill out a day than to go caching after not attending an early CITO event nearby!

Wasn't too hard to find - well not exposed like a previous finder.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 1.59 pm on 19th August 2023. TFTC, georode

Caching with RoddyC hatzofff imbunda.

A little roam around here, til we honned into GZ.

Thanks, Willis007 for adopting this series and looking after the maintenance! Georode

This *Listening/Loudspeaker* series geocache was previously solved back in 2021. Patience and frequent rewinds were required in order to transcribe and work through.

I approached this cache from the south heading across the bridge, and it seems like a nice local area. After a short search, I found the cache, and I think it was a little exposed than what it needed to be, so I hid it back as one would typically find it hidden. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [georode](http://coord.info/PR2V198) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

This morning, [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), baby Cottontail and I joined other Geocachers to kayak in Pine River, launching from Tinchi Tamba Wetlands Reserve. Between the low tide and underlying mud flats and the exposure from the Summer sun, it was a rather hot paddle, and following the [For the love of Tupperware...](https://coord.info/GCA3NMH) event, we paddled back to shore. Prior to returning home, we stopped at Hidden World Playground in Fitzgibbon for a play prior to baby Cottontail's nap.

In the afternoon, I was able to escape solo for geocaching in The Gap and around Enoggera Reservoir tackling a few more geocaches in the *On Your Bike* series and the *Listening/Loudspeaker* series. The parklands and reserves in the area, including along Enoggera Creek, were nice to walk around under the shade of the trees.

Tftc Georode, we have solved these puzzles some time ago.
Now we are able to collect a few smilies for our efforts.

Quick find on an afternoon in the gap picking up adventure labs and solved mystery caches

Cheers

i am slowly working my way through solving and finding these puzzles and today with all the rain i thought this one would be a nice quick find and sure enough i soon found this cache without getting too wet. All safe and sound with this cache. Thanks for all the fun

I find these puzzles particularly difficult… so am pretty chuffed when I manage to solve on…

On my way through to Ferny Hills I made a slight detour to collect this cache…

I spent awhile moving back and forth until I widened my search ever so slightly to take in the obvious feature…

Tftc…

This series has frustrated me as I have difficulty hearing the audio files, and don't have the computer skills to pull them apart and extract the information. The CO kindly gave me the help needed to draw out the answers.

Today T-Tech and I are gathering a few more. I had no problem sorting out the puzzle here A couple of spots to check, but the cache was soon in hand. TFTC and assistance, georode.

After some really helpful assistance via IolantheK from the CO we finally are making some headway on the "Audio" Series Geo-art
Headed out this avo to grab some of the spoils of puzzle solving [^]
All good now, dry and in good condition [^]

Out on another morning meander commute, picking up some more of this series out here. nabbed in the first spot I looked.
Thanks georode for entertaining me at this location.

I have recently been focusing on georode's speaker series as I am nearing the end of my 366 day caching streak. These are close to home, I am so glad to have them handy.
I quickly cottoned on to what I needed to do to solve this one and soon had some numbers the checker liked.
I raced out at lunch time to make the quick find here.
Thanks georode for the fantastic series, and for the ongoing maintenance of the cache.

Wow, what a lovely little spot this is. I went for a little wander of the area after taking care of the signing business.

What an awesome place full of screaming cockatoos TFTC

I have been working on this series for some time, slowly ticking off the ones I can and struggling with the ones I haven’t, lol.
Today it was a team effort with Team Tyrrell and Liz and Bruce as we joined forces to get a few of what we have solved. We also had a limited time frame so it was fast work and organised caching, checking data as we drove from cache to cache. We replaced one cache along the way with the permission of the CO.

While this series is scattered around the area it was good to see some new parts that I would not normally visit. Thanks for the ones completed by us so far Georode, I appreciate the work that must have gone into this series, well done. With 30 caches completed today I’m sorry for the generic post, but the others of the team have posted cache specific details.

Out with chamad and team tyrell today finding caches in the area. Thanks for hiding and giving us the opportunity to explore this area.

Out with chamad and Liz and Bruce today to grab as many caches as we could in the short time frame we had.

I have managed to claw my way through quite a few of these puzzles over the last few months in the hope of gaining a few more Smilies on my screen. Today was the day to make a start.

Thanks Georode. You've put in a massive amount of time and effort in making both this series and a few others to keep us cachers happy.

A lovely little neighbourhood here. Cache safe and well. TFTC

Timed our find perfectly here as the neighbours arrived home just as we had replaced the cache and started back to the car. Pretty spot here. TFTC georode

The Marble made a quick find while I was still adding the coordinates for a different cache into my phone. Looks like a delightful little area with a really strong community spirit.
TFTC, georode. =^.^=

Was out today with Grannysmith1947, Selva Girls and Miss Millie. Chasing some caches to fill two more challenge caches.
We had lots of fun today with lots of tree climbs. Couple of DNF. With CO permission one cache replaced. I found 42 for today. Thank you for bringing me here.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Georode TFTC *472* streak. *2853* Finds

Thank you, georode, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

After finding another nearby in this series, we drove a little further to come and collect this one. This was a fun puzzle and a little bit of lateral thinking and some knowledge of the subject soon gave us a good set of numbers. At GZ it was a quick find and we added our names to the logbook before moving on.
Thanks georode,

Our first Wednesday together after the school holidays and of course there's rain predicted! Luckily we made it through the day with just some showers.
A nice quick find here after waiting for a passing muggle and her dog to leave.

5/2/20 Find #3473
Our journey continued us around here, where we pulled up in a nice convenient zone to park. We exited the car and met a cute Cavalier King Charles spaniel who didn’t want to go where his owner wanted him to, then casually wandered over as they were heading out of sight to make a quick grab.
Thanks for the cache georode.

These mystery caches have been sitting in the solved pile for a while now. In need of a few smileys for today’s date I decided to drive out to this neck of the woods to see what I could find. Another hot and humid SEQ sunny day of geocaching!

Still not quite up for another tree climb, I chose another easy T rating. Pulling up close to GZ I had a pretty good idea where I needed to be. Sure enough, the beasty was found in seconds. Some scribble was left and the container replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache georode

Meandering my way South in the early hours of the morning, hoping to pick a few caches along the way to Ipswich then head East to try for some mystieries laying fallow out there

Thanks for the Cache and the Adventuregeorode

With time to spare after a local birthday party, geograndson and I decided to find a few caches. A while ago, I solved a lot of puzzles in this area, so we decided to find some of them. A bit of GPS bounce here had us going backwards and forwards. Eventually, the cache was located and the log signed. TFTC

Out for the day with nikid1 to collect some solved puzzles & some mystery clues at the same time. We’ve been trying to solve these puzzles for a while, I’ve managed to solve some & I’m glad I have clever geocaching friends for others!
Another nice quick find.
TFTC & puzzle Georode

Nice quick find here with KerriMG.
My favourite spot for a cache.

I had a fantastic day today collecting a bunch of caches that have been on my to-do list for a while, and this was one of them! I loved the uniqueness of the puzzle series and appreciate the effort that must have gone into them. Also great to get to sit down and have lunch with the CO recently to chat all things puzzles! Thanks for the fun! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thanks E_smiley, Snickersallan, for helping make the day so fun!

Had solved this puzzle as a team, now we're collecting the caches as a team. Thank you so much georode for your time and effort in making this geoart. We thoroughly enjoyed them.

Please consider attending the Queensland Outback GeoMuster, visit https://coord.info/GC85HBT

A very early morning start on this beaut geoart series with geo friends E_Smiley and EatSleepCacheRepeat_ (ESCR). Our drive around the various locations and streets admiring the scenery and places of interest was quite rewarding. The huge amount of tree climbs slowed us down a little but we all shared in doing them with E_Smiley volunteering to tackle the very high ones.
All caches were found in very good condition and I applaud the CO for all the time and effort that has gone into placing this series of good puzzles for everyone to enjoy.

Lots of vehicles around GZ got the heart pumping but with workers at the other end of the path a swift retrieval was made and we had ourselves another smiley. TFTC georode.

Puzzle #700

Pulled up near GZ and realised there was a bit of council work going on a little further up the path. We found the sneaky little thing tucked away after we had searched in a couple of spots. Happy to log a smiley here. TFTC georode

The text sounded familiar once it was transcribed, a small bell rang but it was Eskies5 who managed to convert it to coords. We were a bit worried when we approached gz and saw workmen signs and barricades but luckily it did not interfere with cache retrieval.

There comes a time in every caching day where the talk starts shifting from finding caches to a discussion about coffee and lunch. Its called the geo-hump and starts off with the odd murmur about where lunch will be. It then moves into random comments about what things are on the menu and then shifts into downright complaining about hunger. In our family the change from oddly placed comments to full on remonstrance takes about 60 seconds, so I have been well-trained to pick up the early warning signs.

You would think that starting a caching day an hour later than normal would give me an extra hour of caching, but using that kind of logic can only lead to pain and heartbreak. Lunch is lunch, and caching is whatever my wife and daughter think it is that fills in time until lunch.

I have accepted the system but have also learnt to bend the rules in my favour. I can always squeeze in a few more caches as long as the car is heading in the general straight direction to a restaurant.

I'm probably being a bit unfair on the rest of the team because they enjoy filling in time finding some plastic. But look out when a woman scorned has a lunch menu loaded up on her phone. tftc

Bit of the old bouncy here but nabbed it eventually! No tiaras TFTC

Had time to find another puzzle or two before heading out Brookfield way for a tunnel crawl. Decided to drop in to see Harry and hopefully the delightful Meghan at this quaint spot. Alas no Harry or Meghan but a spot where the cache could be in about 20,345 or so spots. With the phone bouncing round more than the Windsor's bed, it was time to go back to basics and use cache nous. Hell yeah that worked and the cache was uncovered. Thanks for an interesting topic and currently topical subject matter georode.

Having fried our eardrums and tested our brains solving a new batch of audio puzzles, a morning was spent zipping around the suburbs with Slow Puncture collecting them. The coords were good here, leading to a quick find and sign. Lovely shady area here.

Wednesday. I was with Mr OC today whilst he had a day off from his busy schedule. I can’t think who solved this one, but in any event, we both had the solved co-ords and so were out to collect some caches that we’d missed on our first trip round here as we were collecting some, solving some, collecting some etc. I was enjoying listening to Mr OC reminisce about this street and that street, which houses had had boats in their front yards many moons ago and where all the schools were. Ah the memories Nice quick find on this cache! Log book signed and replaced after our names were entered.

This was the 4th of 9 caches found on today's trip.

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

This morning we were way, way, way under the weather, no need to feel sorry for us as it’s completely self inflicted. Last night we had come into the city to have dinner and drinks with friends at Jellyfish, being in no state to drive home we stayed the night in there. Last night (we use that term loosely) we went to bed with the grand idea to pick up a particular cache that we have had our eyes on for a while, well that was before we realised what time we were going to sleep.

Our first stop this morning was to get some bacon and eggs in us along with half of the city’s water supply, with a dull thump in our heads we went for a small bush bash and a half hearted look for a cache, we were both hoping the other one would just hurry up and find it, but that’s pretty difficult when neither one of us was game enough to tip our heads upside down to look underneath anything…this is going to be a long day. In the end we gave up, regrouped, had a slurpee and decided climbing trees was a better option today with our thumping heads.

A few of us have been plugging away at the sound geo-art so we thought that we would grab a few before going home and sitting in the aircon to watch some movies. Thankfully Mr 4ando never fell out of any trees along the way and after picking up eight we knew it was time to hit the aircon and grab a bit more sleep.

A morning of coffee, laughs and caches out this way I opted to put the pedal to the metal while the delightful Miss Direction navigated.

Harry. Harassed. Harangued. It’s all the same to me. Never had so much grief puzzle solving and had no idea my ears could squint like that This was a collaborative effort and grateful for the support on this series. Harry is fine and in much better shape than me. I was traumatised by these puzzles

This cache really concerned me as my daughter just recited off each number.
I can’t say I am that invested in the topic but I do like the smilies! Thanks for the puzzle georode tftc

Another solve from the collaboration files. Not too difficult a puzzle once you make the connection.

One of the quieter sections of path I navigated today. A nice quick find here thanks.

Mrs VC & Winter the Geo-Cat were quite restless this morning which culminated in an unplanned caching road-trip.
The only area suited to a last minute, spur of the moment, full day assault were these 'georode' caches which our little puzzle crew had been attacking voraciously of late.
We had 'batch solved' the transcriptions then painstakingly worked through the second phase of the puzzles one by one, almost done!
Time to shorten our list of unfound! LOL …

A few 'discovery spells' soon revealed the final coordinates for us.
Multiple possibilities at GZ but Mrs VC made short work of them coming up with the cache in no time at all.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

TFTC georode

No dramas with the puzzle here and I continued my drive around an area I don’t know well at all.
Here I found dogs and walkers and cricketers but when the coast was clear, I zipped in and out. All good here so TFTC!

Loved the big trees on this shady street. Cache was in a likely place. Thanks for such a great range of caches.

I am currently in a moonboot and on crutches, so I am restricted to low terrain caches. Bristracker and I set out to find some solved puzzles from my ever growing solved list. This puzzle looked interesting, and I had a hunch and I was pleased it all fell into place and the checker agreed. TFTC

Had this one solved when it came out, but holidays kept me away. Had a chance this morning to grab and did so. No problems here. Tftc georode.

It didn’t take long for Harry to give up his secrets. At GZ, we found ourselves in a pleasant little spot where the cache was quickly located.

Thanks for the cache georode. This was find #3922. Please discover my trackable: MMGJ6B.

I'm packing boxes for our family move from Brissie today, and when the new batch of audio puzzles came out around lunchtime, I knew I'd have time for one of them at best – tying it in to the school run, if possible. This one got my attention with the title, and proved to be a super fast solve. Also no problem with the find at GZ. Thanks for the cache and the series, georode!

Published

FTF, 2.33pm. Log to follow.

Saw the new bunch of audio puzzles, 3 of which we could solve rather easily. This being the second. Unfortunately, we could not head out straight away and the school run threw us an hour back.
Thanks georode for creating and maintaining this interesting series.
