Birds Watching Helensvale, Queensland, Australia
By Severus105 on 12-Aug-19. Waypoint GC8C1C2

Couldn't find this one, looks like the area has been worked on recently but the hint was also quite hard to follow

Didn't find as a resident nearby was watching us so we had to abandon search as to not look too obvious

Unfortunately didnt find this one.

Found this one easily.

Looks like council has been here and cut a lot of branches etc down. Sad face.
Of course I parked a long way off...

With a small window to cache, I decided to visit the Northern Burbs of the Gold Coast… My Cachly map had me walking a lot further than I needed to as I noticed a much more convenient access point on the car GPS…

I admit to having issues here… and after sending my PAF within moments I spotted the container… I literally stepped around it…

Tftc…

Found this one on the open, opened and no sign of the contents.
Added a new log and hid it nearby

Thank you

Not where i thought it was. For years I walked past this pathway several times to go to school, it’s great to visit here again, Tftc!

A bit easier than I was expecting given the D3 rating, but signed and replaced. Thanks for placing it here in this nice little spot

It is not often that I can cache without the turmoils. Today both of them needed to be at the GC for different events at the same time! So after the 2 drop offs, caching for me it was.  What else would one do to pass the time for a few hours??

Container had a lid. Container was just completely empty. I know it is the cache because of the paint job. So I dropped a new piece of stone paper inside.

We found the catch but it was empty. No log inside

It's not really hidden you have to look closely though.

Thanks for hiding

Couldn't find it Sadly but I will find it any tips from the community

On a visit to Helensvale to visit my Great Grandchildren. Of course I introduced them to Geocaching. They loved it. Were dissapointed when this one did not eventuate. They enjoyed splashing through the water.

Found it

Found with the lid off on the ground no log sorry I forgot to put some in my bag to replace . Hoping I’ve replaced in right spot?

Nice and quick find everything looks good left some treasure for the next finder. All is good with cache. Thank you CO for bringing us here

OK at last after 2 DNFs and this one looking shaky. Good day for a walk. Great spot.

I AM GUR

Was tricky but a fun cache! Thank you

Well this one was close to a DNF. The kids and I search for a bit looking at potential hides to no avail. Decided to try something different and bingo. Wasn't that hard after all.

Such a lovely spot here - birds chirping and just us here! Thanks for bringing us here.

Got it quick TFTC

Isn't it funny with caches. This was in the first place I looked so found it was a nice simple easy find. Yet we only found 5 out of the 10 caches we looked for. Two of the five we found people have been struggling with and yes we obviously suffer cache blindness as our DNF was 50% today. Funny. Glad this was a yellow smile for us and not a blue sad face. TFTC.

Was just walking past today and I’ve been here and logged before so thought I’d just check out cache was ok. All is good with log book safe and dry and swag in there too

It was nice to turn this frown into a smile today. With a more determined search today we were rewarded with the cache on hand. Thanks Severus105.

Out and about caching today - first cache of the day and found. TFTC Severus105

Unfortunately still searching for this one .....

Found this one today. A bit tricky in the sense my hubby found it in a location where I thought I’d already looked. Whoops! Gladly signed the log.
Cheers and happy caching!

Third time I’ve tried to find this one with no luck so far. I’ll be back!

Last cache in this location before farwelling patrol14. As we pulled up we noticed two familiar faces searching around GZ and thought this would be handy with four sets of eyes on the job instead of two. The lomandra plants started making me itch but lucky for us DeafVW found the prize within a few minutes. All along I kept thinking it was going to be a fake bird in a tree but it definitely wasn't.
Good hide, was returned as found and we also discovered the TB but left it for the next finder.

Found March 14, 2020

After attending the event nearby Snickersallan and I went looking for one more cache and when we arrived here, noticed cachers already searching. DeafVW were looking everywhere with no luck. We started helping with the search but DeafVW finally came up with the prize. Great to meet you and success in finding this cache.

Found on 14 March 2020 at 12.55pm. TFTC, Severus105.

Met up with lovely snickersallan amd patrol14 here! Took us all a while here. Birdwatching is part of the hint.. a view us all you beed! Good hide and is safe

Lots of mosquito s around today. TFTC

Checked Cache today after all the rain, still good

Returned to the cache now we’ve discovered a few this was our 1st find and didn’t really know what to do I have retrieved the bugs and will move them on to follow their goal

Took a bit to find but we got there in the end it was after heavy rain though

Headed here with Swearah today. A nice wander into GZ. Geez it’s already hot even this early! Looking looking and then I looked a little closer and spotted what we were after! TFTC!

Out with krcamber this morning and had a lovely stroll to GZ. Searched around a little and was about to take a little break to read the logs, when krcamber found it!
Dropped a couple of trackables to help them continue on their journey. TFTC

On seeing the ground cover I was initially sceptical of a quick find but it turned out to be much easier because of its placement. Also much easier to spot on a sunny afternoon than at night! Liked the fact it is not easily seen from the road too.

Driving past and dropped by to take a look at this one. It's dog walking hour so muggle central but took my shoe off and "emptied" it while I scanned the area.

No immediate luck so moved to a spot I could sit down and not look to suss and checked things out from a distance.

The path cleared so I searched properly and a few moments later cache was in hand and signing duties done.

Then I realised I had a spectator. He hadn't seen what I was doing and asked if I was ok. Phone in hand, I said I'd just seen a huge snake head into the bushes and I wanted a photo. The stickybeak left suddenly saying he'd leave me to it as he jogged off... haha

Difficult to find in the dark, tftc

Nice quick find.

TFTC Severus105. Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Cheers, E

Went for a drive up the coast today to check out a few Northern caches. Took a few paases but found u=int he end. Woohoo, our 790yhs. TFTC Severus105

Grabbed this one on the way to work tftc

FTF felt this one, hiding in the Cammo. First time walking this path, hundreds of highschool students pass this way each day. I recommend out of school hours. TFTC.
