As I went to lift this cache the container fell to the bottom of the post, and I don't have a long enough pokey sticky thing to fetch it.

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights.
Runawayz, I found Sneaky William today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Found with 1minniemoo and saintsmadhouse today on an outing to turn these greenies into smilies. After discussing this adventure for the last month or so, we had decided that today was going to be the day....and that was about as much planning as had been completed prior to meeting up in a semi central location. From there, we had a more solid plan at least until lunch. It was a great day and I got home roughly 13 hours after I left :> We have plans for our next adventure but no dates - we'll get there :>

It was a Girls’ caching antics day today, and although we didn’t have a KBreeAHH with us, SaintsMadHouse, Cosmonaut97 and I did have Signal the Frog standing in for her, and fully intended on a day of fun and frivolities.
After a spot of lunch at the local pub we brought Signal out for a play in the park here and enjoyed our look around. Sadly we found the cache on the ground in disrepair. However with all the supplies on SaintsMadHouse’s geomobile, we fixed it up and replaced in its home with the log signed as GCA today to save time and space in the logbook.
Thanks for the cache Runawayz.

Cool park to explore with Bodhi. Having a dog it’s easy to slip away whilst they are sniffing everywhere without looking too sus lol . I had a good guess where sneaky William may be hiding and was glad when my caching sensors worked ! Tftc ️
We were searching for about ten minutes and it took us a second to work it about but it is definitely in plain sight
Found quickly thanks to the hint l, what a great little park, thanks for placing a cache here.

Quick little weekend away, exploring the country side, with the ultimate goal to complete some of the Map of Australia Geo-Art on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.
Nice easy find. Good condition!
All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.
Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **Runawayz & Peli1406**

Heading out to Gatton to visit family and decided to try my new mapping skills on a scenic route from home near Tweed Heads. I stopped by this one hoping for a find but it was not to be. Besides everything being wet there were just too many locations for a hide.
I loved all the quaint little towns I drove through on this journey and will be doing it again next time with more time to search. What a cool bottle tree nearby an Oh what a beautiful heritage house just up the road
thanks for encouraging me to turn into this town, i'll be back.

Couldn’t sign, wasn’t expecting to look for a catch today, so didn’t bring a pen, nice hide
Found it after some serious looking. The hints say it's in a different place from where I found it. It looks like it may have been moved. I put it back where there location says. Tftf
On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
Sneaky hide. Didn't take too long to figure it. A large frog in the next one.

Found cache signed log and replaced as found. Many thanks - enjoyed the park. GnS-71
Thanks for bringing us to this historical park - they have done a great job with displays, shelters etc. After a short search we finally found the tricky hide!
After waiting for someone to leave we arrived at the GZ. Quickly found this one. TFTC
Not sure if I have ever been in this little town.

Had to be sneaky as there were people on the swings. Quick find. Thanks for the cache
Out and about exploring the Scenic Rim today. It's very windy. Some respite in Rosewood, and the last 2 sausage rolls from the bakery and it was time to grab a smiley. TFTC
Very sneaky little hide! After a first look where we thought the cache should be we were left confused when we discovered an old log hidden but with no cache. Continued looking thinking the cache may have been somewhere close and broken but still no success. As the cache had been found just days before and there was no mention of any problems we perservered. Success! Clever little hiding spot! TFTC
Found with _ Xplorers3. This one had me stumped for awhile due to temp fencing around the beautiful tree and adjacent area. My coordinates where off so I was convinced that the cache was within the orange temp fence and couldn’t be retrieved. I was even more confused when a random log was found but no container. The log in hand didn’t match the activity log of this cache. Now I was really baffled. Another check of previous logs gave us another hint and there it was ... the tricky little cache was retrieved by _ Xplorers3 and the correct log signed
Thanks for bringing us to this lovely little park. Don’t know how stealth we were. The locals probably had a good ole laugh.

out for a country drive from Brisbane. My husband and i have been here before but there were too many muggles, such a lovely park . Today once again there were muggles with their children having a great time and the mum was reading a book so we drove off to find another cache 6km away at stone quarry cemetery and when we got back there was a couple taking photos of their very cute dog but they were far enough away and they only had eyes for their dog. once at gz i realized that we did not need to worry about muggles. Searched the wrong spot first then followed my compass and i thought could it be there and yes it was there. Thankyou for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Yes one of these things are not like the others
Took me a few goes to find the right place
Thanks for making and maintaining this hide
Well done

My wife and I were on a day trip around the area and clearing out a few caches.
We arrived in town and parked close to find a couple relaxing on one of the bench seats and a few youths in the area on scooters.
I decided to take a stroll to check out the area to see if it was possible to access the cache without attracting attention.
As it happened I located the hide straight away and moved away to sign the log and then after replacing it I took a longer detour back to the car without anyone taking any interest in my activity.

The co-ords are good here which helped us quickly find the cache. That is one huge bottle tree. SL TFTC
A drive in the country was called for. First stop, coffee across the road then on to here for Sneaky William.
We have a couple like this in the Redlands and its always good to see others.
It didn't take long to sign log and replace.

Found today Good Friday whilst staying here in Rosewood at the Showgrounds. Great little hide. TFTC
A quick find of Bill, second to sign the new long. All is good with this little fellow hiding away. Tftc
Found it in the second place I looked when I stopped here on my way to Crows Nest for the weekend. The log was full so I popped a new one in with the old. The Cobb n Co coach is stunning in its display. I can imagine the smell of yesteryear! This park is a lovely spot to stop and I bet the kids have fun with the many photo cutouts!
Out to do a little loop ride from Rosewood out to Churchbank and return on the Mountain Bike. It was a nice little 75 km loop finishing in 37 C heat so why not grab a cache on the way home.
Very sneaky well placed cache found after a great steak sandwich and a beer at the Rising Sun Hotel . Tftc
Had the watchful eye of the people across the street so had to be quite "touristy". Enjoyed the history clips.
Great little spot - took a couple of minutes but got the cache eventually!
TFTC!!

Our first Find! Turns out the spot has been flagged as a potential “drug drop” because a council worker had found the little tube and then had reports of suspicious behaviour around it. While we were searching (2 ladies with 2 toddlers and an infant) a council worker was walking past and looking at us suspiciously so on a whim I told him what we were doing. He was very relieved as he was there to document the tube with photos and then submit a police report for a drug drop. naturally we educated him on geocache, showed him the log inside and the app and he was so happy he wouldn’t have to do the police report anymore and had a funny story to take back to the office with him! TFTC, it was a perfect start for us!
Driving down the main street I had memories of a cache many years ago in the park on the northern part of town which was involved with 'trolls', or lie down on the ground and wriggle under a low bridge. I seem to think I didn't try to find that one.
This also looked like it might be difficult with a sturdy fence blocking access even if I had wanted to get down on the ground. However it turned out a bit easier than I expected, and soon had "George M." in the log. Love the Queensland Bottle tree, the Penny Farthing (approx. 1 cent these days) and the Cobb and Co coach on display. TFTC, Runwayz & Peli1406.

Heading west to Toowoomba and making a few stops to stretch the legs along the way. Sneaky indeed, I wonder when they intend to fix the place up.
