Feel terrible searching through a cache so close to someone's house.

Gave this one a good look but just can’t find it

Checked this one really well and appears to be missing- the is a spot you would think it should be- have checked the other places as well

I started to search for this GC without reading any logs. Suddenly seemed that the cache was missing as I was looking in the most obvious location, and then I read the very last log.
 
26-Oct-21
Couldn’t find anything in an obvious spot and checked with a previous finder to confirm that I looked in the correct place. So unfortunately it’s gone missing. Thanks for showing me this place.

Such a cute little library, I thought it wouldn’t be too much longer until I found one like this. Happy International Geocaching Day!

A nice early start to my caching morning, I was making the most of the cool morning. I pulled up here at GZ and spotted the obvious location. No trouble finding the actual container, it was in plain sight when I opened the door. Surprised

I extracted the cache, etched my name in the log, then tucked it back in the only logical place it could be hidden. Wink

A very nicely constructed library and cache, thanks for the handy work. A fevourite point form me for the effort you've put in. Big Grin

Cheers WeAreMRFSD.

Such a lovely, happy container greeted us at GZ. We could see this one had plenty of favourites already and it’s short existence and we are very happy to add another one.
We quickly found the log book and have added our name. We love the colours on top of the book library!
Thanks WeAreMRFSD

This evening, I decided to go for a drive nearby, and this geocache's high Favourite Point count appeared to attract me. I managed to grab a park nearby, and wandered over to the obvious object.

Upon making a search, I managed to make a reasonable quick find of this cache, which had a great decent hiding place. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I had originally a creative book cache hide in one of these back in Adelaide, and unfortunately it went missing within a month, despite being even wired tethered into the object! So, I am glad to see this cache lasting. Thanks WeAreMRFSD for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. A well deserved Favourite Point from me!

That was a lovely idea. A nice quick and easy find. A favourite from me for the beautiful work that was put into this hide.TFTC

What a lovely little house this is. A nice easy find. TFTC WeAreMRFSD

What a delightfully decorated little library! I particularly liked the owl. The container was chockablock with books, and the easily found geocache was in excellent condition. I’m giving it a favourite point because it was beautiful and I’m a bibliophile.

Heading over this side of Brissie again for another hospital visit after work today. Getting to know the area well, and grabbing some caches while I'm at it.
Approaching gz I saw where I would be looking ... I do love these creations and am so pleased to see more and more of these pop up.
The cache was quickly found - log signed, cache replaced as found.
Thank you for placing the cache here WeAreMRFSD, a lovely idea and a fav from me.

Hi guys, It’s Fast Finn here it was a great hiding spot.

I wouldn’t be surprised if sometime in the future an attribute is created to classify this type of hide... they’re certainly becoming more popular...

Nice work here... have a fave point...

Left some American coin and an ooshie... tftc...

Great find. My daughter loved this one

This is gorgeous! I’ll happily give a favourite point for the beautiful paint job on the roof, as well as the very cute logbook. ️

I have seen a few of this type of hide around but this one was a great way to hide the cache in one.

We felt a bit sheepish grabbing this one as we could hear kids playing nearby. Cache in great condition and I suspect it will stay that way for a while! TFTC.

Took a slight detour on the way to work - to pick up a few puzzle caches that oz_bean_counter and I have on our joint radar now, and this one sitting serenely in the middle of our area of interest today. And what a cool cache and hiding spot - I love these ideas.

No better way to start a work day - good coffee, good company, good weather, good fun.
Thanks WeAreMRFSD for entertaining me at this location.
Cool *{Overall find #7966}* Cool

Fifth cache for the day. The coffee had kicked in by now, which means, my fantastic personality was beginning to emerge from its overnight slumber.
Headed out this way with my caching companion, Mr P, to grab a few mystery caches (seeking to fulfil a few challenges that require my mystery count to increase, so watch this space!) and some other random caches along the way. Was a great morning - good weather, good coffee, good company, so I wasn't complaining. Well I was, but not about any of that Very Happy.

Nice easy find here, and quite a novel and interesting outer cache container! Great to see Smile. Really well done.

TFTC and TB visit.

Too cute! No book swaps today but found something almost as good Wink

Having driven past this spot on the way to the local dog park I was pretty sure I knew what was in store for us with this cache, so 11yo and I came prepared. With inventory in hand we approached noting all the possible hiding places. The 11yo took little time in discovering the log book. Used the stamp we have not used for quite a while. Appreciate the cache. Took Skylander, left Minecraft. Never typed that in a log before. Cheers

Good

Loved the cleverness of the hide. Definitely worthy of a favourite point. Thanks for the cache

Once again, the unconscious goal of this afternoon's adventures seemed to involve making as many things as unnecessarily complicated as possible! I'd overthought things at the Eclipse-mas Tree down the road and this one followed suit.

I was poking about in every single nook and hinge and peering into minuscule gaps... all to no avail. Then, when I stopped and drew a long breath of relaxation, the goods revealed themselves (as they often do).

Thank goodness for the inbuilt misdirection involved in this cache, otherwise I would have drawn an embarrassing amount of attention to myself...

Cheers for this cute little hide, CO!

Out today cleaning up some areas that I’ve been neglecting and continuing my challenges of a trad a day and a cache a day. While I was limited for time all the caches I chose today required a short walk along some bush tracks.
This was my fifth for the day and what a fun cache to find, an interesting idea and placement of the cache. Looking at all the items inside I couldn’t see anything that may resemble a cache so I opened it up and felt around, hmm that feels like something and sure enough it was and a reasonably new cache too. Thank you for placing it here and combining it a community support program, well done.
I signed the log and returned it as found, then it was off to my last one for the day.

I had a couple of hours to spare today so took a little drive to gather a couple of new caches.

That is an impressive hide! A lady came out as I arrived so we had a quick chat, and I set to the search. Nicely done, so have a favourite point. TFTC, WeAreMRFSD.
