Stopped here for some lunch as we headed to the cemetery just up the main road chasing older caches. What a busy spot. After a bit of surch. Bingo. Tftc
Accio 20:06:27Out for dinner nearby - T4mmmy and I arrived with plenty of time to nip over the road and check this thingy out - and grab a neat little cache. Cheers.Thanks StopTheWorld for entertaining me at this location. *{Overall find #12604}*
Well this one had our heads spinning but once they stopped in the right directionbingo! TFTC.
This was our final stop for today, and this cache had teased me during previous trips past the shops. However, it was always so busy, that it felt better to defer to another, so that said, it was a busy Sunday lunch when we parked nearby in a 10-minute loading stop. A nice pair of sculptures, and [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) quickly pointed out the cat silhouette. Funnily enough, I spotted the cache from my initial elevation, but then promptly forgot its position once I had adjusted myself. So it was another back and forth and further searching before I discovered it when I could safely retrieve it. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [StopTheWorld](https://coord.info/PR1DG82) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/[jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) stamp. ---------- This morning, the Warren clan headed to Sunnybank Hills for a playground breakfast, followed by a few geocaches in the area. Sunnybank's stops included Penarth Street Park, Glenefer Street Park, and Yugarapul Park. A near-perfect South-East Queensland winter weather day today!
When told the name of this cache, I wasnt sure what to expect. Ahhh this all makes sense. Very cool. Found with Davinells on their mission. Thank you StopTheWorld for placing this cache for me to enjoy!
Day 3 of magic round and after the cemetery CITO we teamed up with greencordial for a few hours of caching, targeting a specific attribute, before heading back to the footy.Our last find of the day and pretty cool installation that I probably wouldnt have noticed otherwise. Greencordials keen eyes made the find. Tftc StopTheWorldFind #6033
After looking for a while gave up starting walking across bridge decided to look at scoops again and there it was great hide tftc
Quick find early on a Saturday morning before the muggles are out. Quite clever. Thanks for pointing out the art installations, I have never noticed them before. Thanks for the cache and
nice location. Very busy on a Sunday afternoon but went with my gut and the second place I casually slid my hand came up trumps.
Out for a spot of caching with the boys. We had just found a nearby cache and this unfound one was poking tongues at me so l had to turn it into a smiley face. Thank you for the fun

Cache #2 for the night
Accidentally got my friend hooked on geocaching and now she's into it.
Cheeky and sneaky, I love it.
Thank you very much for the cache, we had fun ️️

Tonight the whole family was staying at our son’s place to have a margarita fiesta. To kick off the day he wanted to have lunch, or more importantly buy his mother a lunch that they couldn’t pronounce so we came to Sunnybank.
I’m not a big lunch eater because I always want to leave plenty of room for wine and cocktails so I came out to look for a cache whilst they ate.
The shopping centre was really popping off this afternoon so it took a while before I had the opportunity to search. Thankfully I had a really terrible coffee to help me pass the time. tftc

Found while we should have been working. After a 2 hour trip in from yarrabilba due to an accident.
Made our way up to the very interesting sculpture and it wasn’t too long before the cache was found. I couldn’t decide which section of these spinning things I liked the most. TFTC
We thought the artwork was adorable, and spent some time looking at it as we signed the log. Thanks StopTheWorld
I had a spare hour between kid deliveries tonight and I saw that this cache could be done at night time so I dropped by to check it out. This place is really bustling on a Thursday evening with all the shops and restaurants open.
The hint in the description was enough to put me in the right place and then the cache was quickly and discreetly found. I did have to take a walk back to my car to get a log extraction tool, though.
Thanks StopTheWorld for showing me this interesting piece of art and for the clever cache placement. I now have a craving for cupcakes. Mmmm….

Muggle Central on busy Sun morning...I was lucky enuff 2 walk str8 to it...I expected something else th@ wood v dun the same job! T4TC:-)
I’ve meant to stop by here for ages and today was the day. A few muggles wandered up and down but staring at the artwork while my fingers went walking did the trick.
I found a bench nearby and my tweezers have been very handy today.
TFTC where all is fine.

Found on the way home from dinner - didn’t have a pen so couldn’t sign but loved the hiding spot. Thanks from Sydney
Dropped in today to replace the log, so it has a nice long fresh log now. You might need a TOTT to extract it, but all is well. It gave us an excuse to gather some family for Yum Cha too!
I have often looked at this cache, on the app, but I am usually in a hurry or on the wrong side of the road. On my way to accountants early this morning and I was running early so decided to stop for this one. It was a quick find once I was at gz as I put my hand straight on it. Log was signed, but only just. There is really no room left on the paper. I couldn't replace it unfortunately as I only had my handbag, not my caching bag on me.
Very cool cache! Didn’t have a pen on me so was unable to sign the logbook. Have taken a picture if needed. TFTC!
Out finding a few caches with Mr CuriousQuest. Time for one more cache before heading home. I have driven past here many times, but never had the time to stop. So I decided to stop today. I found a spot to park the geomobile and we made our way to GZ. I took not of the hint and made my way to a good spot to view the scoops. Such an interesting sculpture! Then I began searching for the cache. It was quickly located. We added our names to the log, returned everything as found then continued on our way. TFTC
Out today with Selva Girls to pick up some caches. Good hide log signed and cache returned as found. TFTC
What a great sculpture, very cute.
Cache was quickly found while admiring the view.
Thanks StopTheWorld for the cache. An fp from me.

Out in the wet this morning closing in on my 13th loop. I needed a 2.5/1 great hide not many people out in the rain a fav point
Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific.
This was the closest cache to this morning’s appointment. Afterwards I headed across the road and haded up to the right level. After a short search I had the cache in hand. The log is almost full. ️

Haven’t found one like this before. That was pretty cool. Quick find. Great spot

On my way back from the city, decided to grab this cache as it has an attribute needed for the May challenge.
At GZ, discreetly checked around until I felt something cache-like. Luckily not too many people here today so was able to sign the log and returned as found without drawing attention to myself.
Found on 30 May 2022. TFTC, StopTheWorld.

Sitting at home solving puzzles and just bored due to the constant rain drizzle. I called up the turmoils and said I was coming over that way to do their adventure lab, as I needed to get out of the house. As it was a 45 minute drive away and there are challenge caches that require attention, I nutted out a few caches for the drive over, this was one of those.
The challenge I was working on tonight was the at night challenge. Turns out it is not always best at night lol. I arrived here and found a great piece of artwork. I started my search only to realise there is a better place to view this artwork, surprisingly that is also, where the cache is.
I nice hide and a nice reason to visit, thank you. I signed the log and replaced the cache as found, all good with this hide and a favourite point here. Then it was onto the next one in the area.

Had some soba for lunch and headed over for some ice cream... Amazing that there's a cache on the way! Had never noticed this structure before. My muggle friend with a fear of heights didn't enjoy being here for so long ?? TFTC!
I have never noticed these before-found a great spot to check it out and there we had it. Quickly filled out with out any suspicions- tftc
I don’t think I’ve ever actually stopped here before… driven past, but never stopped… and thanks to this cache I got to see this unique piece of art… and I liked it… I bet hundreds walk past it everyday and have never even noticed it…
Tftc…
Tftc…
Daytime stealth with Peppa for this one. Have driven past here 1000's of times and never noticed the artwork . Love it
A very quick find with my sister here today. I absolutely love the sculpture. Thank you for placing and maintaining this one.
Last cache for our GeoAdventure. Nice little spot. Lucky we decided to do it so late. Can only imagine how busy it would be during the day. Great hide TFTC #MambaKB24Out
Yep - went to grab it and over it went. Luckily it was at night and there wern't any muggles around. I go past this cache everyday and it's good to be able to cross this one off. TFTC
Quick and easy. My partner dropped it and had to run down to get it and run it back up X.
I have been driving past this cache for sometime now and It was on my list as were a few others in this area with high muggle traffic. Decided today was the day, so off we went at some awful hour of the morning. We had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for but not sure where to look first. Eventually something moved when I was feeling around! Got it! Wouldn’t say it was a quick find but we didnt loiter for too long. Sneaky little cache and a great vantage point to watch the traffic go by!
All good with the cache, signed the log and off to our next adventure ... that’s another story!
Thanks StoptheWorld!

Nicely hidden. Using clues from previous logs we managed to find the cache in under 10 minutes. Making sure not to be seen we quickly signed the log and returned.

We arrived and had a look around while admiring the art installation but without success. We then went into the shopping centre for a coffee stop...and to read more about the cache.
Armed with new information gleaned from the logs we went back to have another crack but there was a muggle right there, so while out-waiting him we walked to a different level. Things looked different here. This is actually a better vantage point and before long we had cache in hand.
Well hidden, you would never find unless specifically looking for it.

On our way back from rochedale, we were able to find a parking spot right next to the GZ. Gunnie made the quick find here! TFTC
Returning from Rochedal after working through RoddyC's new puzzles, NurseyJulie and I detoured into here to have a go at this one. [^] Reading through previous logs, I knew the location we had to be in, so did a brief recon search from another level, before moving in.
Once in location, I put my hand straight on the cache and removed it for business. Names in the log, it was returned as found and we hit the road.
Cheers StopTheWorld.

In the area today to pick up “A” from Sunnybank hospital. Waiting for her we thought we’d pick up a few caches. Like the sculpture/wind chime. Really cool. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC
Needing this Ancient Wonders I just had to get this cache as I have been leaving it as a standby and not too far from home. I stopped off once before but too many Muggles so didn't waste time just put it my emergency basket. Quick find today but the wind was nearly blowing me off my perch. Log signed without accidentally releasing to the wind. Cache replace as found and along comes some Muggles. TFTC
Knew what I was looking for and where and it still took me ages to lay a hand on it. But sneaky it is and the sculpture was lovely to look at. Thanks for bringing us here. A fav for the sneakiness.
I was in the area to grab a meal with my sister while our kids are at school. I gave her a call and turns out, she's running a few minutes late, time for a cache! This one was very fun. It was exactly where I thought it would be but muggles to this cache are what mozzies are to bush caches! Such a cool container. Extreme caution and stealth required. TFTC. Have a FP. I won't forget thie one any time soon.
Gave myself the day off to do a caching run Slightly cooler but still felt like a sauna. Lots of hopping in and out of the car and a few short walks. Scored a hot ️ along the way.
Parking is the hard bit here On the walk to GZ I spotted someone about where I needed to be, and hammered it to GZ to ensure all I had to do was sign the log A quick chat with Chasing Adventures and on the way. It is always fun to sneak up on another cacher in the field

Next up on our mini adventure today, I left “the boys” in the car whilst I scurried off to nab this cache . As I said to muggle hubby, in my experience geocachers are focussed, passionate, clever and statistics orientated people. He looked at me with a bemused look whilst I ran off to find my cache . I spied the spinning statue which had beautiful detailing and quickly gauged where I needed to be! As I was unfurling the log, I was joined by Ms Maddy! Ha I love it when you meet a fellow geocacher in the field! Log signed, future caching adventures shared and we were both off for the next adventure!! Tftc ️
During my three weeks in Australia I got plenty of time to spend for my favorite hobby. There are some geocaches, which could be grabbed easily, but most of them are like all typical city caches - you have to be patient and wait for the muggles to disappear. Somehow I managed to find them.
Many thanks to all the owners for hiding and maintenance of their containers.

I lived in this area for years and never noticed it, wonder if it was here then. Nice easy find and no muggles surprisingly. TFTC
Found on the way home from work. My GPS wouldn’t settle so I had to put it away and go for the most likely/ well hidden spot
Soon found, signed and returned. A very cool art indeed
