Cheeky boi

Found with Mum and Dad.(Nathan and Alyce)#146 - TFTC

It feels like months since weve ventured out to grab some caches, so we finally made the effort to head out to grab some, and boy oh boy, we couldnt have picked a better day! Despite it still being winter its feeling a little spicy here in SEQ and with a taste of spring in the air we made the most of it.We only managed to squeeze in a couple of hours due to Jensens whinging and carrying on, I guess he wasnt as fond of caching like us after all, oh well!Nice quick find. Signed log and replaced the cache as found afterwards.x1 TB removed.Thanks for bringing us here.#4423 - TFTC

Hollow find

Lots of interesting delightful Swag and now a globe.

Another lovely spot and find for Lillyswildlife and I. Tftc!

Geocaching out with Woodwahdi this saturday to get some smileys and the weather is beautiful. This is find 73 for me and find 4 today. This cache was somewhat difficult to retrieve but I did it with a pair of scissors and a pencils. Please note that you should bring a TOTT (tweezers) to get this cache. it is also uncovered but otherwise all good. left it uncovered as unsure of exactly how to cover it. tftc

A photo of a past log for posterity.

What a beautiful and peaceful spot with a seat in the perfect location to take in the view of the lake and the abundant bird life. Thank you Sunshine 58 for putting it there.

New cache back in original spot. Please keep covered with bark.

Found it. Lovely little spot was unsure if it was originally meant to have a cover or not. Spent some time trying to retrieve and gave up and had to drive back with something to retrieve it.Was surprised to find a completely unopened log suggesting last real find was in 2022.Thanks for the cache all is well with this one.

Bit of a find was low down near water

Replaced.

Checking in on this one tomorrow.

I luck for me even with a spoiler photo.
Lovely spot though.
TFTC sunshine58

Easy find. A bit lower than head height though. Thanks sunshine58.

Found today, while up on Sunshine Coast looking to fill some hidden dates, and any nearby caches at same time. This was one of the nearby caches, Thanks sunshine58, all is in good condition here today

Okay, so the day started at 6am so that we could catch a few caches to help the geo-dad (Cliff5009) fill in a few holes in his Hidden Dates chart.
A bit of a drive up Bruce Highway early on a spring morning, during the school holidays, so traffic was not too bad.
So this was cache 11 for the day.
Moved the car again, parked real close - within 20 metres of GZ. Found GZ and had to look a bit for this one. Nice views of the lakes here.
Spotted the cache before geo-dad, and grabbed it.
It now has our squiggles in the log.
Thank you very much for placing this cache.

Quick and easy find, close to the water. Peaceful by name, peaceful by nature. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely spot. TFTC

Tricky to find

Kept being muggled, so slightly moved.

Another lovely spot and once again not as per hint. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches.

Out with Colwen. A beautiful area to walk in. TFTC.

I’m glad this was a lovely spot to spend some time as we fruitlessly searched for a small in a paperbark only to find that it was a micro in a different type of tree altogether. We were entertained by four cygnets swimming about in front of us as we signed the log. Thanks sunshine58

Left the car near Amongst Nature and went for a little trek along the lakes to find some others. This indeed was a peaceful spot with a great view of the water. Searched all the paperbarks first as per the hint but then found it in another type. Snug little hole in plain sight - clever. Hope it stays put, sounds like you've had some trouble with wandering here.
I wore my good waterproof bushwalking shoes so feet stayed dry but did end up with a lot more freckles on my legs by the end thanks to the muddy splatters from the grass.

Easy find today. Nice spot to sit and relax…with some Maltesers!

Once again this one was missing. Replaced a couple of metres from original. Will update new hint.

sunshine58 I found your cache A Peaceful Spot on 18/4/2022, 3:25 pm. This is my find 3371 and find # 10 today. Not the quickest find. Read previous logs so you search in the right area. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Found it... But think we found the MIA one as last record was by SSS in October. Tftc. Will write note to the owner

This was the log we found today. It was lying in a shrub

Just sending another photo to give you a bit of perspective as to were we found old cache. Didn't see the replacement one today.

A planned weekend trip up to the sunshine coast to grab a few caches. I still need a few more to get me closer to that sunshine coast challenge. The trip worked in well for the Sunday morning CITO event in Coolum.

I meet up with Esmiley and we spent Saturday, day and night, caching areas that neither of us had been to before. We were not certain if the recent rains and floods would have effected any of the caches but we gave it a shot.

We first of hit the Sippy Downs area and we had some fun. Many of the caches here took much longer than they should have; we spent way too much time trying to find simple caches. We then moved around the area and then towards the north, working our way to Coolum. However, time ran out and we had to stop for the day. It seemed as though the day was getting hotter as it went on and got even worse during the night.

Thanks to all the CO’s for the caches, some I kept notes on, some were just great caches and some I really do not understand why. We signed all logs with both names and replaced as we found them.

A Peaceful Spot
D 1.5 T 1.5 Small Traditional Cache

Fun day with chamad aiming to get 150 caches to qualify for the Sunshine Coast Challenge . Picking up caches from Sippy Downs, went south to Meridan Plains, clear out  DNFs in Currimundi and finishing up at Foote Sanctuary area.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here sunshine58. We were about to give up but found it in the last place we looked.

With a date like this, how could i not possibly come out again and write this palandromic oddity and in doing so, score myself another souvenir.

For today is the twenty second of february 2022, or in other words 22/02/2022.
One less than the ultimate set of twos in two hundred years.

Thanks sunshine58 for choosing a nice peaceful spot well worthy of a favourite point.

Found the logsheet in the open with TBU1BIKESU.

Replaced it , and informed CO.



Tftc sunshine58

We headed today towards Sippy Downs to refresh memories and find some caches.

Tftc Sunshine58

Had look for about 10mins couldn’t find it

Checked on this cache yesterday. Another M.I.A. now replaced with a cameoed pill bottle.

Yeeee

1507 @ 2:06 pm ~ Found in the company of Stacevel and SuzySquirrel. Logged as SSS ~ TFTC sunshine58

Once again Peppa was a little more persistent than I. While he continued searching I took a seat on the strategically placed sitting spot. Oh The Serenity . Great determination Peppa - log signed . Although a heads up as it was about 10m West of where our co-ords had us

Another cache that I was ready to walk away from… we’d checked the hint… read the logs… noted the relevant info… walked back and forth… up and down… PirateLinda suggested “down there”, even though “down there” didn’t match the T rating…

At the point where I was ready to walk… but just happened to spot the cache… d’oh…

We found the cache about 9-10m West of GZ…

Tftc…

Really fun! TFTC

Big lizard guarding it

Found it! Nice spot to visit.

tftc!

First find

Be aware of the nature that lives here. Could not check on cache due to...

Photo won't load. But a large goanna was having a sunbake, whilst a lizard was having a float in the water.

As we approached we disturbe a large lizard - was it a goanna? It then disappeared over the stone bank into the water - hopefully not hunting birds eggs. TFTC.

Out and about seeking those smilies around the coast tftc

Found it

Easy to find

Certain was a peaceful spot.

Once the cache was in hand the log was signed and replaced as found.

TFTC Sunshine58

Took us longer that I'd like to admit but good hiding spot.

I tried way to hard for this one...but when my partner stepped up she found it immediately in the most obvious spot. Log was a little damp but all signed.

Finally I found this one. The coordinates were not quite right and I looked on multiple days in the wrong place. Today I checked right in Front of me TFTC

Easy find after some earlier ones

Founded instantly papers a bit wet but great spot

No doubt the cache is still there somewhere and we were just having one of those days. The heat and spiky plants had taken their tool and we were caching like wusses. We will be back to avenge one day

Pleasant stroll with the dogs and some friends with the goal on hunting caches in mind. Disheartened by being unable to find the cache at our first location we kept onto the next and after a bit of looking the female of our group found the cache, I guess we were all having a mans look XD

1457 @ 1:29 pm No luck today ~ TFTC sunshine58

A lovely peaceful spot to enjoy nature and to find a cache. We were scratching our heads as to where this was. About to leave when I spotted it. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks Sunshine58. All good with this cache.

Up the Sunshine Coast on what was forecast as a full on rain event day. Seems this area didn't get the memo today. After a fun filled morning riding our fat bikes from Coolum to Sunshine Beach I decided to drop in an clear a few caches in this area fro the afternoon.

- an enjoyable therapeutic experience.

Even on this relatively busy Sunday morning this spot was very peaceful. Saw a black swan nesting nearby and lots of other birdlife doing bird things peacefully! Thanks for the short rest here with my penultimate cache of the day.

A very peaceful spot indeed sunshine58.
All the local waterfowl made a beeline for us expecting a feed as we signed the log.
