Found - Geohubby did the deed and pulled it out - TFTC!

Finding it was pretty easy. Getting it out is a different question entirely! Happy Cosmic Quest! Tftc

Found it after parkrun 24/8/2024.

Such a cute little cache in a beautiful location. Brought sunshine to my day. In perfect condition. TFTC!

Tftc. Quickly pulled off the road and made the dash to GZ for a quick find.

Sweet construction Great spot - the cache had to be tempted out.

Found this cache while spending the day on Bribie doing the tourist thing via way of the local caches. That was an interesting bit of history about Mr Dux. TFTC

Found while down from Mackay at cross country state trails for the young fella.TFTC 5 from 5 so far today and woohoo 361 finds

Great little hide! Thanks!

Great little park and great spot love it

If there ever was a prison made out of natural materials, the pandanus tree is the answer. I saw cache but could only sly my hand between the roots to unscrew it and retrieve cache. Great hide. Tftc

Quick find while staying at Bribie. TFTC

Danke frs Herfhren. Hat Spa gemacht. Liebe Gre von den deutschen Caradoosgoogle-translate:Thanks for bringing us here. Was fun. Kind regards from the German Caradoos

Great little hide, Tftc co

The ants have made this tree their home but we managed to find the cache and sign the logbook Tftc Co .

A quick find - once we managed to dodge the ants, the log book was signed and replaced. Tftc

TFTC! Another great cache on an Island caching field trip

On arrival at GZ I wondered just how I was going to get this cache out but it was easier than it looked. All good. TFTC

Nice little hide. Took us a few trips back and forth across the bridge to find it. TFTC!

Super cute. Like it. Thanks

A spiky little hide

Found at 9:56 AM GAFF1.We are staying at the Banksia Beach canal complex and thoroughly enjoying the area. Went on a caching run this morning and this cache was nearby so we just had to do it - mainly because of the name! We just bought a Land Rover Defender 110 which we are loving how it drives. Sand driving on Fraser Isl was a breeze!Went over to GZ with the GPSr showing 1 metre, but it didn't look like a good hiding area - unless it was under the bridge but the T rating was just a 1.5, so that was discounted. Looked around and at a distance of about 6 - 8 metres a very nice looking hiding spot was located and there was the odd looking gnome, which looked more like a plant on top of the cache The log sheet was very tricky to remove as it had just about laminated itself to the inside wall of the container! However with determination it was extracted [^]Thanks to 1MinnieMoo

Found on the way back to our Airbnb for the long weekend. Cute little marker helped us find it. Did get a few extra scratches for my troubles. Tftc

Another fun find. Enjoying this holiday weekend. TFTC

Cute little cache, was a tricky bugger to get out with my big hands but a fun hide

Heading over to clean up some Ad Labs, and decided to stop and see if we could find this one.Geo wife parked the car close, and walked across to have a peek in the trees. There are muggles about, so take are in what you are doing. And watch you don't scratch yourself reaching in t\for the cache.Cache is in good condition and now has our squiggle in it.Thanks.

Nice to get another smiley face on my Bribie trip, but the aerial roots on that tree are nasty, they didn’t get too much of my skin thank goodness and I could have done with the gnomes help to cross the road. 3 pm is not a good crossing time, but thank you for the cache

We had planned to kayak to the wreck of the Avon but the wind was blowing a gale so we thought it would be a better idea to find some land caches instead. This was a lovely container but it almost felt like a field puzzle working out how to extract it from its hide. Thanks 1MinnieMoo

I was on a day trip to Bribie for a bit of geocaching. The cache was spotted quickly but extracting it from its hide was a little tricky. A few scratches later the log was signed & the cache returned TFTC

Cute!!! I think this was the 4th find of the day for me. Thanks for the interesting history and for placing this cache.

Quick find with the geodaughter after fish and chips today. Tftc!

This one has some trades in it

Found it with Lukas

Found

Tftc, in the area for a short while. Thanks for bringing us to this spot.

Pretty cool find this one. Its almost a field puzzle too getting it out of the roots, love ya work, TFTC.

Got it very cute.

Decided to get out of Brisbane this morning to let my wife recover from her cold in peace and quiet.

A quick dash up the highway early in the morning before traffic picked up sees me on Bribie island picking up a a few labs and an assortment of old and new hides

Love this hobbie

Cheers

TFTC! Loaded up with a handful of swag!Out with Itste

Out with MereanaMaree! TFTC ️

Drove my new car (wahoo) to Bribie today to pick up a new kayak loader. Any excuse to put some kms on the shiny new toy. While I was there, I picked up some labs and a couple of the Defender series. This was the first cache of the day. Nice easy find, everything OK here. Lovely cache, as always from wingaap. Thanks for the maintenance 1MinnieMoo.

A quick find! Thanks for the hide!

On Bribie for some new adlabs and then there was good cache that I have driven past a few times.

A pleasant surprise here

Thank you for hiding and maintaining

Found with TeamBarritts during our road trip east to Brisbane. Spending the day caching on Bribie Island. Tftc!!

Out for another day of caching with BJA3 before heading home to Perth.

All good here,  thanks for placing and maintaining this hide for us and others to enjoy!

After 6 months of looking in vain for decent sized caches in which to leave TBs, I found 3 large, well maintained, easily accessible caches in bout 1/2hr (which is lucky as my waiting muggle family is fairly geo-intolerant). The 2nd of 5 caches found in our roughly 12 hrs on the island, all by the same CO, I could give them all a FP just to say thanks. Sadly I don’t have that many, but I will leave one here due to ease of access & the cuteness of the container. Nice location & reasonably private given its proximity to the path, I felt this was an appropriate place to leave a very cool TB I picked up in Melbourne. TFTC!️0

Out for an explore with Caveman9614, first adventure for both of us to Bribie Island. Our fourth hunt and second find for the day! Great location, and quick find. TFTC

Out for am afternoon of caching with gensies. Great location, TFTC!

I adopted 10 of Wingaap’s caches back around the same time as MinnieMoo adopted this one. Mine are near Stanthorpe and are still going strong. Knew this one was going to be a different holder and sure enough it was. This one goes with one of the cache’s I have adopted.

I was able to get this one out, it was like it was in jail. Got a few scratches from the pandanus, signed the log and placed it back where I had found it.

Thanks for keeping another of Wingaaps caches going, so many people enjoy their clever themes.

Easy find, log book soaked. So popped a dry page in pill container inside cache. TFTC

Great cache, unfortunately the spiral log book is saturated and needs maintenance. Found cache signed log and replaced as found. GnS

1MinnieMoo I found your cache Defender - Dux Creek on 6/10/2022, 3:15 pm. This is my find 4354 and find # 13 today. A quick and easy drive by. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

I had a great day today.
Thank you CO for your caches.

Very wet log book

3.45pm. An easy find but a bit tricky to extract. Log book is a soggy mess but we were able to write on a page further on.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Nice quick find with a cute box.

Fyi, the log was soaking wet and couldn’t sign .

Quick find but hard to remove from the gz

Signed and onto the next one TFTC

Found

Quick find by 2MT. Out with PirateLinda and Peppa and 2MT and BlkThunder
Gorgeous day to be near the water.

Out for a fun Friday with the normal crew. Peppa, PirateLinda and giraffe18 and BLKTHUNDER. Beautiful day for a drive . Quick find cute container

First find of the day with Giraffe 18, Twomanytrailers and BlkThunder. Peppa had already logged this one a couple of months ago.
Cute container

Mr SKI had visited Bribie some 50 years ago when you still had to pay a toll to cross the bridge. He didn't recognize much apart from the caravan park as the place has certainly gone ahead.

time to move on to the Caboolture area where we have solved puzzles and there are a number of Adventure Labs and plenty of trads to find.
The weather is improving further although there seems to be plenty more muggles about.
A good variety of hides and some interesting places to visit.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache 1MinnieMoo.
**SKI Pair****

This one drew blood. Love the container. TFTC.

Hey found it it took about 20 minutes but eventually found it lol I placed my scooter right next to the spot but wasn't looking there eventually looked there and found it.
Tftc

Love the container! Thank you,very much for the hide!

Nice quick one , thanks

A weekend away at Bribie and an afternoon out finding caches with Greatjustgreat. We don’t get to go caching as a team much these days so I enjoyed his help. It was a quick find here (and we loved the container) and the last of the day. Initially steered off course via the path, but the hint drew us to the hiding spot. The cache container was easily spotted and all was good and dry inside. Names were entered into the logbook and we were on our way. Thanks very much for the cache placement Wingaap, and thanks for the adoption 1Minniemoo. Cheers

#2 for today while up at Bribie. Nice easy find. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Easy find thanks to the hint.
Log is nice and dry.

Sorry about the short log, I’m passing through on my way to a job.

Cute cache, my nieces first find without guidance. TFTC!

Found it! Left an Anzac badge and took nothing. First cache of the day! #19

Another Defender under our belt.
Love the history. What a cool cache.
Thanks wingaap & 1MinnieMoo

Thanks for the very informative history lesson Wingate.
Sometimes Pandan us hides can be very hard to find.This one was a quick find.
Thanks for placing this cache.

Found it

At least we are mostly protected from invasion on the Ankh. Boats tend to slow considerably in the turgid water and sometimes getting stuck completely. We’ve even had people surrender without us even knowing that they had entered the city.

We made a quick find here. The ants like this one. Thanks for the cache

Cute

A cute container that i spotted on approach… I thought the local sailing club might prove an issue but I was out of their sight by the time I reached the cache… tftc…

Nice cache design. These types of trees are crazy. TFTC

A short stop and quick find.

TFTC ️ very cute

A nice easy find out on the geobike riding around Bribie Island Australia Day before 7AM. Yay! The defender is still in tact. Thanks Wingaap and 1MinnieMoo for maintenance.

Driving out this way and we had to stop at this one. Swearah made light work of this one, cute container. TFTC!

Out for a day of caching with krcamber and we stopped in here to find this little cutie.

We were up early so there weren’t many people around and we made the find quickly thanks to the hint.

Thanks for the super cute cache, 1MinnieMoo!

Tftc, found with Deano25

Hello little gnome! Nice history about this creek. TFTC!

After completing the nearby puzzle cache we took the short drive to locate this hide. A great hint saw the log book quickly signed. TFTC

Another one bites the dust tftc
