Im here in Australia visiting from the US. I wanted to grave a letterbox before leaving the country and this one was the perfect choices. It was an easy spot while driving up. I left behind a TB, some pathtags and a few Going Caching trading cards for the next finders. Adding a favorite point for this cute cache.

In the city for a meeting but we got in pretty early. Having finished off a few stray caches in the city, we decided to take advantage of the 50cent fares and take a ride on an air-conditioned train. Spotted this one on the way and thought, why not. Jump off and make our way to GZ. What a cool cache. Will definitely be giving a favourite point.Make our way back to the station with 4 minutes to spare.TFTC

I am down under for the very first time. Visiting Australia has always been a dream of mine, and I cannot believe it has come true. Australia's nature and wildlife really captivated me. Over three weeks, I saw many wonderful beaches, sunsets, animals such as , and I found great geocaches. My tour guide was mostly geocaching, and through it, I discovered many beautiful places I wouldnt have seen without our great hobby. I mainly stayed in Brisbane but also visited other gorgeous places such as Noosa Heads and Springbrook. I spent a few days on the Gold Coast and Moreton Island, and I went to New South Wales to have visited a second state in Australia. During my stay, the winter and early spring in Queensland were very warm, the sun shone every single day, and I did not see a single drop of rain. My time down under was so beautiful and unforgettable. Australia is such a stunning country! Today I spent another day in Brisbane. I really like this city and I discovered beautiful places. I also looked for many geocaches like this one. At GZ I found the cache easily. After signing the log I put the container back as found. Very beautiful cache!Thank you for this geocache says Mr. J. Cacher from the other side of the world in:

Today we drove home after spending a week in South East Queensland. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Sunshine State, with near perfect and warm weather for the whole week, and a very high cache finding success rate. Managed to get a parking right out the front and soon saw the nicely designed hide. Everything was in good nick, so perhaps the ants have moved on.Thanks for the cache, fp given

Amazing Cache! Owner needs to potentially have a look inside and maintain as it's covered with ants and potentially eggs or sugar inside. TFTC

My daughter had a dance exam this morning on the east side of town so I had a couple of hours to look for some caches in a new area.I found a nearby park in the shade and walked back towards the shiny new letterbox. Just as I was opening it up the CO drove up so after signing the log I had a quick chat.Thanks for the great letterbox cache chasingadventures. It was lovely to meet you!

An afternoon caching with a newly reformed cacher GRYAU, and this was the first one on the menu. Certainly not what I expected, and thought the coorda must be wrong until we spotted the very obvious GZ. I added my stamp, signed the log, and returned everything safely. Thanks for the interesting and unexpected Letterbox.

Had a little update, new log, stamp and swaps. Happy caching

Hi chasing adventures
Thanks for the cache. Hope it was okay to pop by at 8:30pm! I’ve been hoping to get a letterbox cache for the current Wheel of Challenges souvenir.

Quick find with Prime and FiFi.
 
13-Aug-23
Accio 14:34:06
Today I was on uber duties in this part of the world, so with FiFi and T4mmmy onboard we made the winding journey through the back streets (reckon my GPSr was on drugs) to grab this one. Initially looking at the wrong fence we got the right one in due course for a good find.

Thanks chasingadventures for entertaining me at this location.
Cool *{Overall find #11453}* Cool

It's Fri-yay. And I am not really in the mood for working. I had finished my two sites this at Rochedale and Seven Hills a little earlier than expected. Being Friday, and such a nice day I decided to reward myslef with a quick cache on the way back to the office.

Picked out this lovely letterbox, which coincidently helps me with some crazy challenge cache I am working on which requires front yard attributes. Bonus!

I don't trust the postman since all my letters to Santa when I was a youngest must have gone missing since I never got anything I actually wanted. These days, I just accept that I want new socks and jocks every year ..... Hmm, or perhaps I was a naughty child.

Quickly found. Despite the street being quite busy this morning, I managed to sign and return everything as found. All in good order. Many thanks chasingadventures.

What a fun letterbox cache. We loved this one and happily give it another favourite point. We signed the log and picked up the TB to move along.
Cheers and happy caching!
 
25-Jul-23
I had to this one, because it so close to where I live. A nice 40 minute walk and I made it! TFTC!
 
09-Jul-23
With a pick up in the far east (Manly) I decided I couldn't make the trek that far without rest and recuperation along the way. After finding a recently archived cache, this cache was about halfway to my destination.
As we navigated to the cache location, we spied what we were after as we drove up. What a great idea. Don't think we have found such an obvious container before. Notquiteyet assisted me with the find and examination of the cache containers contents. We signed our names in the dry logbook, and were on the way to our pick up.
Thanks very much for the cache placement chasingadventures. A very nice detour indeed. A new favourite of ours. Cheers

Who is this Santa guy. I thought he lived at the north pole. Not somewhere in sunny one day perfect the next Queensland.

Found with an intrepid group of cachers....one of whom was out for their 3000th. We had an awesome outing and can't wait to get going on our next day out. Such a cute container - definitely one for the young 'uns and young at heart. TFTC.
 
05-Mar-23
The first for the day as I am on the home stretch to find my 3000th cache today. I chose some special ones to be a part of today. If any needed maintenance- we did it. Found with 1MinnieMoo, Kbreeahh and Cosmonaut97 with many laughs and shenanigans on the way

5/3/2023 Find #5792
Today was supposed to be a big day, a milestone for SaintsMadHouse. But we had a few select caches to grab before we reached that, carefully chosen by SaintsMadHouse herself.
This was the first one of the day, and the shenanigans had already begun.
We made it harder than necessary, not looking at the right house to start with, likely because we were a little hesitant with someone in the yard.
Luckily after a bit of stupidity from us all, SaintsMadHouse made the very obvious - and cute - find.
Thanks for the cache chasingadventures.
 
20-Feb-23
What a great little cache! So cute! Found a few little trackables which I’ll give a new home!
 
06-Jan-23
It's a bit late for Santa this year but we were in search of a souvenir so this was a great opportunity. I was with Toriakyogle and we were delighted to see this letterbox cache.
Thanks, chasingadventures.

A cache designed to put a spring in your step. Grandchildren would love it. TFTC
 
18-Dec-22
This is a very cute cache. We had a birthday party nearby and I needed to get a cache for today so this was the target for today. Just as we were popping all the goodies back in, a lady pulled up and asked if we were ok. I believe it was your sister-in-law? I explained why were were there and she sighed relief at knowing we were not crazy and trying to steal things from your mailbox. She didn't even realise the cache was there.

Thank you for the effort in creating and maintaining this one. Favourite point from us.
 
09-Dec-22
First time with a letterbox. Very cute cache and obviously an easy find! I’m impressed with how it held up in the storm
 
01-Dec-22
Lovely gift to geocachers and passers-by. Thankyou
 
28-Nov-22
Just in time for Christmas , the cache has a refresh. Today I’ve added some new toys, some pathtags, a new activated TB and some stationery for the little geocachers who want to write to Santa .

Happy caching!

A nice fast find.

Here’s hoping that Santa mixes up the log sheet and his good boy list!

Trying my hardest to hit a NOvember challenge for particular attributes. Meant driving past heaps and only selecting certain ones but if I'm going to have half a chance, this was how I was going to do it. In the dark, this took longer then it should have.

Then the puppy dog guard dogs barked, before they were wrestled back inside and the letterbox was eventually found. What a cool cache!

Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache **chasingadventures** Big Grin

Find 629 for the tribe

When driving close by, how could the tribe resist a park and grab Santa's Mail Box cache? And so I parked and grabbed. Less than four months until Christmas! Gosh the time is flying this year. Soon 2022 will also be done and dusted.

Thanks for the cache which epitomises park and grab caches. Thoroughly enjoyed our second ever QLD cache Smile

Stopped here on the way through to Carindale this afternoon. A cool little letterbox cache, great concept. This would get the kids interested in caching again if I brought them with me. Grabbed the path tag for my collection, many thanks. Very cool. Thank you for placing this great letterbox here and the ongoing maintenance. A fav point from me.

Having visited friends in Queensland for an 18th birthday over the weekend, it was into Brisbane for a couple of days to pick up some caches around town before flying home.

After a few hours sleep it was time to set off on my final day of caching in the CBD. Before doing so I snuck out via train to grab this letterbox. It was the only one of this type in the broader area. Luckily it was only a short stroll from the station and a quick find which meant I was back on the train to the city in no time.

Thanks chasingadventures for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

After grabbing a couple of wet and damp caches earlier in the day, it was was great to grab a shiny dry one!

My son and I were off to the Dendy up the road, so made a quick detour to grab this one.

It was great letterbox and would be a treat for kids at Xmas!

Thanks for the cache! Big Grin

Will give a favourite point!

Had no issue spotting the hide from the car, but I had to wait a few minutes for the rain ease.

Once the rain eased I made my way over and popped the beast open to retrieve the log. I quickly signed the log, removed a TB and made my way home.

Thanks for giving me a reason to stop by.

This reminds me of a cache I found once in NZ, the CO came out to say hi and for a chat. No chats today though! It's a nice change to the usual micros, I wonder how many people were watching as I got out to inspect the mailbox and sign the cache... Letter to Santa completed, he has around two months to make my wishes come true. TFTC!
 
12-Oct-21
After an appointment this morning thought I'd grab a few caches before going home. Parked outside and was logging the cache when home owner arrived home. Quick chat and gave him mail that was not for Santa. Thanks for the lovely letterbox and put my wish in for Santa.
Fav point from me.

Found on 12 October 2021. TFTC, chasingadventures.

Somehow Santa got an exemption from international travel ️ and COVID restrictions to embark on some maintenance of his many letterboxes across the world . Santa has tightened the straps to the fence, added a new log book (although there’s still plenty of room on the original), changed the ziplock bag and freshened the toys

A afternoon out with Davidwazza exploring some new areas of Brisbane! TFTC!
 
16-Apr-21
This evening, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I popped out after work to head to the southern suburbs, passing this geocache as we went. We pulled up nearby, to quickly find this geocache. A lizard cache guardian appeared to be living inside. The cache container was in good shape, although it may need a little TLC, as the contents and logbook are starting to look a little scrappy. Thanks chasingadventures for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.
