sneaky spot great find thank you so much

Didnt take to long. Cache is good. Found with Yeadom and birthday girl Dayna. TFTC

Should have been a little faster at this. One would thing after almost 3000 finds i would know what F.R. means. I do now and will keep my eyes open for it more often. Thanks!

Now I know what fr means! Those mozzies are bad!

Found after a short search. Thanks for the cache!

Staying on Bribie with scouts participating in Jamboree of the Air. Today I will introduce them to geocaching so on the hunt to find some before I take them out searching. This was an easy find. Thanks.

Found this quickly with my gf Kristina ! Nice little cache and low in good condition

Found it with my awesome bf - Robbie - he found it so quick - took longer to get the log out but we got there ahha

We have moved to Caboolture staying at the showgrounds for a few days.Day 2Our plan today was to visit Bribie Island & complete the many ALs there.We also found a few other caches during our trip.Many people about enjoying the waterside.Thanks for placing this cache 1MinnieMoo

Found - great cache (the mozzies were ferocious!!)

Great clue!

TFTC

Ahh the good old *read hint*. Tftc

Wow! What a lovely memorial place. TFTC

On a trip from Geelong VIC to visit my Parents on Bribie Island doing a few caches while we are here. TFTC

Found today!!! This was a DNF for us a while back, so very happy to make the find in the caches new location.Standing back to observe helped make this a quick find.TFTC!

Tftc! A top location

Neat ta

One of the main reasons for our visit to Bribie today was to skunk out a pub crawl. When I told my wife that I had dreamt about it she quickly volunteered to drive the bus. When I say volunteered I mean I had to get down and beg and perform certain favours in the bedroom.We came to the RSL for a quick bo-peep and also had to collect the cache close by. We started by crawling all over the cannons until we read the signs that say not to. Technically we read the fine print and it said that the risk was ours although Im sure the ordinance has been removed. Still I tried to shoot down a plane.We crossed into the park and expected a relatively quick find. It wasnt. At first we didnt want to disturb the furniture but reading old logs told us we were on the right track. The hide was covered but a stick can sometimes be more than a crutch. tftc

During our visit to Bribie Island, we searched for a few caches in beautiful weather.Thanks to all owners saysTeam sissifalke

TFTC got with a little help 6 from 6 today Have a few beers at the RSL it will help you find it

Having said goodbye to my eldest & sent her on her way back to London, I had a relaxing day planned visiting Bribie Island with my cousin.After having lunch, we watched dolphins in the bay for a while before heading down for a last couple of caches. This looked to be a bit of a challenge for a 1.5/1.5 based on all the recent DNFs, so I wasn't feeling too confident. But the coordinates got me close enough & the hint was easy to follow so it didn't take long to spot the cache. I've not seen one in this colour before; I'm not sure you can get them in the UK. But all was well so I soon had the administration completed.Found at 14:53Cache #10376TFTC 1MinnieMoo

A bit tricky but found it on our second visit! Great hide - thanks

Not sure what FR is.no find this time despite hint..TFTC

Great little hide, clue and location accurate.

We had a good look but no luck. Would love some clarification since it has obviously gone missing a few times and been replaced and/or moved-Are the current coordinates listed correct? Is it still micro size? Or is it the type of container seen in a photo? Pretty thorough search but we feel like we could be off if the app is still showing coordinates for a previous location. Thanks

Sneaky hide! Lovely cache to do on Anzac Day. Lest we forget. RESPECT TO THE DIGGERS.TFTC

No luck today. May be missing as there are lots of pots at GZ

If only I knew what F.R means

Cant find

Sorry, hier ist es ein wenig verwildert und aufgrund der hohen Mckenanzahl habe ich mir hier nicht viel Mhe gegeben google-translate:Sorry, it's a bit overgrown here and due to the high number of mosquitoes I didn't put much effort into it

The experience of finding this cache was a bit rockier than expected. We thought it would be straightforward but our first visit proved otherwise. We could only handle being bitten by mozzies in the heat and humidity for so long. So we decided to retreat for the day and PAF for a hint. As always, 1MinnieMoo rocks for her willingness to lend a hand. On our second field trip around the island we were quickly able to find this little nugget of caching fun.

Have replaced and moved today as this one has gone missing a few times now. Hide now in garden as per new hint - no need to go into the garden!

Replaced (and moved) and ready to be found once more

Well I searched high and low and couldn’t find it today , checked on more than one just to make sure

Looks like this one may have walked. Am currently in NZ so will check on it/replace it when I return.

I have looked all over the assumed object and there is nothing to be found.

A thorough search of the closest object but no success. Wanted to move in to search another, but more muggles around now. Will DNF today, and return for another look another day.

Apologies for the late log here (08.01.24) but I've had a busy time since getting back to the UK.No luck here, which burned as I gave it a good go. Aaaagggghh! And relax.SP (UK) on an epic trek right around the world.

Quick find after a meal

Nice easy find, don't look past the obvious.

GPS all over the place but we did thourougly check everything that wasn't Aluminium. HN

Took a very long time checking every single seat in that park. Came up with nothing! GPS all over the place.

Spent so time doing the adlab nearby and wandering this beautiful park this morning. So much attention to the grounds, I'm sure the locals are proud. Awesome to see so many army related statues up close, amazing, thankyou for bringing me here.

Tftc

My GPS was a bit off here checking the closest object and then on to the second and then the third where, happily, the cache was found. TFTC

A lovely well laid out and maintained memorial park here. Quite impressed with the chopper. The cache was not where our arrows were pointing but after searching all the options nearby, we finally laid our hands on it. We decided to stay a little longer and enjoy lunch in these lovely surrounds. Thanks 1MinnieMoo

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

A well kept shady park. TFTF

Jagged with geo bob

Found with m@m@. Tftc

Out with MereanaMaree
TFTC, lovely memorial park.

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 second cache of the day. Nice easy find, everything OK here. Lovely park, wish I had a bit more time to hang out here. Thanks for the maintenance 1MinnieMoo.

Easy but not to easy to find nice to explore a new place

Found this one at night in the 2nd place I looked (after reading previous logs). After finding a few ‘smalls’ that were really micros recently, it was nice to find a ‘micro’ that I could actually fit a TB in, so I did. Thanks for bringing me here - the chopper is really quite cool. Great vets park. TFTC!️0

TFTC a lovely area.

Thanks for bringing me here. As a Pom I had no idea of the length of time Anzacs were involved - or their losses.
The thought of all those young lives lost or damaged…. It’s humbling.

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

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

Another great easy find, thanks

Out getting coffee and milkshakes near the park and decided to go for this cache. Took a while to find, but we got there eventually. Coordinates were pretty close. TFTC.

Thanks for this one a quick grab.The veterans of Vietnam campaign require more recognition of what they have endure since then. Also RIP all that served there and any other service men and women. Australia is a better place for it

On the Island for my Grandpa’s 98th birthday so of course we’re having lunch at the RSL. Coords a little tricky but there’s only so many places to sit so after taking a seat 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 times we had the cache in hand. TFTC

After spending a bit of time misled by bouncing coords I finally tweaked that there’s only so many seats with that certain attraction. After that it was a pretty quick find.
Thanks to this hide I finally realised there’s a helicopter in this park. I don’t know how long it’s been there but the camo is pretty effective.
Log was sodden after all that rain, so I left the lid open a bit to let it air. Believe me, it could not possibly get wetter than it is.

1MinnieMoo I found your cache Defender - Veterans Memorial Park on 18/10/2022, 12:50 pm. This is my find 4387 and find # 4 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

TFTC Found cache signed log and replaced as found. GnS

Thank you. David and Noeline.

Quick find! Thanks for the hide!

What a beautiful and interesting park.

Quick easy find and Thankyou for bringing me here

Finally found after sitting on most of the chairs

We were spending a night on Bribie and headed to the RSL for dinner and stopped to check out this cache. It was dark by the time we arrived so I had to use the phone torch to search. I had searched two other locations first and then moved to the right one before I located the cache..

TFTC 1MinnieMoo

Came upon this park by mistake. And had a look, great quite spot and park area.

Tftc

TFTC , took a bit to find

TFTC Beautiful day for this and such a lovely spot.

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.
