An easy find but a slide down. Thanks for the hide. Bit awkward for 5 geocacher cars though
29/11/2023 Find #6751Wednesday Wandering Madness hasnt happened as frequently in the past few months, but today I managed to snare Crew153 for a day out with me. Luckily for me he also enjoys using his GSAK to decide where we should go. While Crew153 searched another spot, I wandered over and found the cache - Id have been worried about the rock getting found and muggled if the cache hadnt been hiding it Thanks for the cache GurTheWanderer.
Out for a Wednesday Wander with 1MinnieMoo to clear a few of our mutual unfound caches in the area.We found the cache exposed so covered it with a bit of natural camo before we left.TFTC GurTheWanderer
We found the Small Traditional cache Shepherd Hill - The End? on Sunday 1 October 2023 at 4:08 pm. Log signed Beardman75, BM75 or just BM. This was find number 14104. Thanks GurTheWanderer for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
As I have an hour to kill, I went in search of this cache. I spotted it straight away, the hard part was not to slide down the slope on all the loose leaves. Quick signing and off we go again.

Find No: 9119. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at my brother's in Nerang, thanks for the cache GurTheWanderer!!
Whilst the kids were off walking part of the Kokoda trail as training for the big Kokoda Challenge they will undertake in July, I grabbed a few caches. This was my second one. It was a nice quick park and grab. TFTC.
Today, I joined a few friends with an early hike to Pages Pinnacle. We departed from Neranwood Park to take the steep ascent, and then had an adventurous climb along the razorback before getting treated to great views at that local summit. Following the walk, I took a drive along Mount Nimmel Road, and then walked up further fire tracks whilst finding the *Austin Powers* series. Mudgeeraba Creek rock pool certainly appeared to be enticing to make a dip, as there were a few people about.
It was then a drive along/through Upper Mudgeeraba, and then along a few scenic routes that traversed Advancetown Lake / Hinze Dam. I did pop into Hinze Dam and completed the [Hinze Dam Walk](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/92f34238-e46a-4fb5-8b34-2d6c632e5b83
) Adventure Lab. A few final stops were made in Mount Nathan, before heading home for the day.
I wasn't sure if I should have parked in the nearby side street and then taken the path to GZ, but as it turned out, I think I got away parking just off the main road. After making the descent to GZ, I made the quick find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. My only issue was leaving my stamp back in the car, so it was a return back/forth before I was able to depart. An interesting story about Shepherd Hill Lane.. Thanks GurTheWanderer for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Mrs Herbz hopped out in the rain to grab this one. No 2 of an unexpected caching arvo after the bad weather thwarted or original plans. TFTC.
To anyone trying to find t. Covered it up really well with leaves grass and rocks nice cache
Not too bad a road to pedal along. Mostly a wide shoulder so the speeding tin boxes can miss me.
Another smile added to the collection.

Of course, I went down hill with no success. Finally Hawkeye who had more sense than me spotted the cache - just as the hint had read. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC
Hard to look inconspicuous here... was planning to visit your nearby Tb hotel but there are roadworks all around it, so I’ll be back another day...
Thanks GurTheWanderer... left some South African coin...

Came out to this area and beyond to do some cache maintenance and stopped here on our return to find this one. Watch your footing but otherwise all good here. Found the cache, signed the log. Thanks for this cache GurTheWanderer. We were desperate for a find during Covid-19 restrictions and now they're easing we were glad to come here today.
Cheers and happy caching!

Used S 28° 00.170' E 153° 17.635' as my parking coords today.
I came over here one dark night before Christmas last year, I bailed out as I was scared parking my car on the main road and I think my torch would have attracted the dog which barked incessantly!

On Vacation from the UK. Passed this cache many times on my cycle ride up to Lower Beechmont, thought I would stop today, nice easy find. Took the trackable, I will place in my own cache back home when I return in a few weeks. TFTC
Well I made this one harder then it needed to be and almost gave up. The neighbouring dog going off its head didnt really help either. But happy to say my names written in ink.
Cheers GUR

Hubby, dog and I at e driving down to Murwillumbah for the weekend to visit friends. This was a quick park and grab on the way. TFTC
Interesting as to why on side of road when it could be just down the hill and not so open to muggles watching from their cars. TFTC
Heading home via Beaudesert and looking for the new cache hides on the way.
Last cache for the day and a little challenging to get to - signed the log and discovered the TB. Thanks Gur.

This was out in the open and not in line with hint. Not sure of the intended so ai left at the nearest. TftC.
Checked in on it and indeed it had moved. Put it back in its rightful place and dropped an interesting trakka for the next finder to move along. All is good here.
Wow, very busy road this afternoon but found the likely hide quickly, signed log and went on my merry way

Damp Sunday afternoon, what do? catch up on some unclaimed caches! Short walk to GZ. Saw a likely spot and made the grab. Lots of swag. TFTC GurTheWanderer
FTF with krcamber. Out having dinner when we saw the new notification come thru, quickly finished of the refreshing drinks and off we went, state of origin night doesn’t stop us from heading out to grab a FTF. TFTC
Hahaha! How rude to release new caches on state of origin night Joint FTF with reezielou! We were out having dinner when we saw the notification so of course, a mission was required. Beers be damned! Headed out here quickly and made a quick find at GZ. TFTC GurTheWanderer!
