Found the zip tied cache but lid was open and no log present.Sorry...did not have a log to add to it.I must get some for these occasions.TFTC
Saw this just sticking out . Loved the disguise! Well kept , with the regular accomplice geodisc518
Had to swap this one out as the old one was near impossible to find as it was getting old. New update has been added happy finding everyone.
I was bored and in the area so i looked for a few Geocaches. Sadly a DNF, I will be back!
Out with IolantheK to grab a cache or four Attempted made, time spent, no cache for the effort So IolantheK called in a PAF to a previous finder and even with the "secret sauce" we couldn't located this one TFTC Stephyy Even with secret sauce
Out with T-Tech for a couple of hours today chasing a few caches for the September solstice souvenir.We spent way too long searching all over until we called in a PAF who told us where to look and what to look for, but we still came up empty-handed
Another visit and finally successful! I had the right idea on the previous occasion but failed to spot the tricky hide. TFTC
Rock walls and micros do not constitute fun in my universe. But in my universe no one would wear clothes, grog would be free and bad drivers would be removed to another planet. So back to reality. Was expecting a trick to locating this hide with the number of repeat offenders and all the PAFing this spot generates. With it being early morning none of my PAFers would appreciate a call but I could guarantee I'd be told where to go. Put the phone away and I did as the hint said, looked in a few likely spots then when peering at the right angle saw the hide. Wasn't expecting to grab this one first time so left thinking I could clean up this area. Thanks Stephyy for a deceptive hide!.
Out and about with Mr CuriousQuest after attending a CITO. I had had a quick look for this one previously, but got muggled out by a muggle sitting in their car watching me, so was pleased when my caching buddy was happy for me to go back. Once at GZ, I searched and searched without luck. Then I remembered a thought I had had on my previous visit. The cache was then quickly located, almost right in front of my eyes. I added my name to the log before we headed to the next one. TFTC
Stephyy I found your cache Rock walls such fun on 9/7/2023, 2:45 pm. This is my find 5871 and find # 12 today. Second time here. Searched and searched but still couldn’t find it. Sent messages to previous finders but before they replied I actually found the sneaky cache. Glad to get the smiley for this one. Thanks to previous finders for their quick replies. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Nice quick find with ILTW, thanks to the hint we came to the quick conclusion of the hiding spot.
Out walking with Pittstopp74 to find a few caches today and to wrack up some days for the out and about challenge. The hint really helped to make it a quick find.
Out with RoddyC, hatzofff, Imbunda, Snickersallan and Grannysmith1947 for a fun day of geocaching in this area. Logs signed as Geo Six to save space.
Well this one took way too long to find. 6 pairs of eyes searching 15m of rock wall over and over again. What are we missing??
Read through previous logs and still none the wiser.
Resorted to a PAF who guided us where to look.
Oh that is devious...
Thanks for the hunt. Log signed cache returned.
A fav point from me.

Out with our Geo six. Been a long time since we were out caching together. With RoddyC snickersallen, Patrol14, imbunda and grannysmith1947.
Deceiving. No rock and roll dance here. Thanks to a PAF we now have our names in the log.
Starting to get the idea.

Visiting from the Gold Coast and meeting up with RoddyC, hatzofff, patrol14, grannysmith1947 and Imbunda forming the GEO SIX.
This certainly took much longer than it should have, and with none of us having any fun at this huge long rock wall
Thanks Stephyy for the illusive hide here, cache blends in perfectly in its location and a favourite point coming your way

Stephyy I didn’t find your cache Rock walls such fun on 4/4/2023, 1:49 pm. Spent way too long searching for this one. Checked everywhere but couldn’t find it.
Got it on the third try after help from a previous finder. There are roadworks occurring there at present.
After a very enjoyable time amongst the "tupperware", and then the birds and fishing, we had some unfinished business over Warner way, so called in to collect some nicely hidden caches.
But this was not one!
But this was not one!
Sadly this one got the better of us today. We’ll have to come back and give it another go!!
out with fasted and he had an idea of where to look
oh there you are ... so sneaky
oh there you are ... so sneaky
Back today and after confirming I was looking in the right spot, set about the search.
Eventually spotted by Barb and with the log now signed that has this street completed.

Was getting a towbar fitted close by and decided to grab a couple of caches.
Couldn't be too obvious due to workers close by. Will be back.

Tried again. Still no joy. Reached out to the previous finder but no reply yet. This one’s got me stumped.

SaintsMadHouse and I had planned an Afternoon of Adventure before and Evening of Entertainment. Leaving our exact plans to the very last second, we decided to make our way to Warner, starting with an older cache, then collect some others nearby, as SaintsMadHouse had done very few caches out this way.
Our time was starting to come to a close, as we had to get ourselves back and ready for tonight’s event, so we decided the 3 caches in this strip and just 2 more after for SaintsMadHouse would round us off for the day.
Having enjoyed the first one in this section, we began quite quickly wondering just what this one would be like, and began our search.
Then it hit us, that this CO was being rather clever with this particular hide, so we changed our tact.
Yet that didn’t exactly yield anything either. Hmmmm
Then we made the find, and it was evident it was not where it was supposed to have been, so a quick jigging with the SaintsMadHouse emergency supply stash, and a photo sent to the CO before we were on our way again.
Thanks for the very sneaky cache Stephyy.

Found it in the wrong spot after searching all over the right spot. Put it back where its attachments and camo and hint led us to. Log book is full so I added a new one. 1MinnieMoo is messaging the owner to update its location. Thanks for this sneaky one!
Not what I was expecting .... but a quick find regardless (sometimes these walls challenge me for a l-o-n-g search. T4TC:-)
Nice found it logged it a bit late maybe like last year or something or a few months ago but logged it now so better then nothing.

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). Found two caches with logs but signed the one related to the hint which was out on the ground. TFTC!
Found 2 lots of containers here did sign the correct container it was just sitting on the grass so placed back hopefully in tje right spot tftc
Found 2 caches here with mnance101 and bennyboppers. One was on the ground which we think is the actual cache. We signed that one and put it back in rock wall, but not sure where it's supposed to be.
Day 21, week 4 of 5 weeks holiday.
Rockhampton Queensland to all over South Australia, Victoria, NSW
Nearly home, everything back to normal (whatever that is)
Continuing on from the cache around the corner, we pull up right at GZ.
Buttons works her magic again, finds the cache and just as quickly puts it back.
Close investigation shows an itchy grub curled up in it.
Buttons is out, my turn……
Gently, I pull the cache out and then the log without waking mr grub.
I offer to Buttons to put it back but she declines.
I put everything back in place for another win.

Wow. So tiny and unusual!?! I think the log may be full and needs replacing. TFTC.
Collecting a few caches on the Northside of town and I found a park quite close and a short walk to GZ and soon had the cache in hand. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC
Came back to check we got the right one! Found it eventually (there is 2 one has a full log book the other one doesnt)
New log book needed! I dont think its in the right spot but found it anyway. Tftc
Salis Street begins on Pseudopolis Yard and passes via one of the swingbridges over the Cut, to the Ankh side where it ends at the crossroads with Prouts and Park Lane.
I saw this had been replaced so we stopped by on the way home for a quick find. Thanks for the cache
No luck here for me today although I’m sure it’s still there. From reading the logs it sounds like it’s lost its camo?
It was a quick find trusty pen to get the log out and then I dropped it. I spent more time trying to find the log in the grass then what I did to try and find a cache. Log is full manage to scribble something that look like or was here and then put back in its place.
Took a while before I could add my tiny k to the full logg
Thank you for hiding this geocache Stephyy

Another quick, easy find after dropping off Duppers. (Good that she has already done these ones)
Log is full.

This was the second find for us on Deuces Day. The cache was found quickly but the camo has sadly broken off completely and the logbook is full. Just managed a small LnA in the last space available. TNLNSL TFTC
When we first started geocaching it was just my daughter and me. Back then in the beginning, she was the geodaughter, we drove in the geocar, we followed geotrails, used lots of geosenses and every now and then had to geopee in geotoilets.
Then she grew up and stopped caching because earning money and boys were more important. I was devastated and stripped her of the “geo” title and she just became my daughter. I still dream of having a real geodaughter one day.
One of the characters we used to have in our photos around rock wall caches was Unfit Spider-Man. He was just a busted super hero that used to get puffed just thinking about climbing. It was time to pull him back out of the closet for todays happy snap.
We found the hide but it must have been left out of alignment at some stage. We restored it and left a FP for such a cool idea. tftc

Stumbled across this one, not what I was expecting but definitely loved it. Log is full, didn’t squeeze any initials on it. TFTC
Coming home from some shopping I needed a cache today.
Got to GZ it took me a little bit to find. Yippee finally found.

Found. Not too hard after reading the previous logs and checking the hint (but is that still cheating??) TFTC stephyy
LOL ... one long stretch of road with no traffic to speak of but there ALWAYS seems to be ONE muggle who picks GZ as the best place to park!
We passed by this one a few minutes ago to give the muggle a chance to move along but it wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
The guy was, apparently, an Uber driver just lurking in the backstreets waiting for a fare.
OK then, let's push our luck a little here.
Leaving the Geo-Beast ticking over (Winter the Geo-cat was enjoying the air-conditioning) we both headed over to GZ & started looking about & pointing into the distance to distract the muggle, all the while peering out the corners of our eyes hoping for a quick find.
A quick find it was but we think the cache has been 'abused' a little and is not quite in it's original state (or possibly location [?]).
Nice idea.
Noticed the muggle was head-down in his phone so made a quick grab, then while still looking about & gesturing afar we managed to make our mark & replace in a little more orderly condition (may need a CO check here) ... all without attracting the attention of the muggle.
Geez, I must have lost more weight than I thought ... I'm now invisible!

This morning, I had planned on a few home chores, but having awoken early, I noted a FTF opportunity a short drive away. Consequently, I thought I would take the opportunity to go for a morning jog and find a few geocaches around Brendale. An enjoyable morning before the grey clouds rolled in later in the day.
I thought I would take a drive through this industrial estate picking up a few geocaches. Rocks walls fun?! Really? Yikes, I detest them, and they are up there with ivy hides and rock garden geocaches! I started checking various nooks and crannies, with various places standing out to be, but I guess the rock wall was just playing mind games on me. Although I had read the description, hint and past logs, I kept trying to persist with my original strategy, spending about 10-15 min in searching around. Alas, after thinking about a few past logs, I did take a step back, and then noticed something a little different. Nicely constructed, and I should start remembering that this CO's hides are not the usual evil geocaches. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Stephyy for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Out for a quick find as we are somewhat busy this weekend coming and so to appease the caching gods Green Geckos & I went to find this one after I failed to the other day
Came out with Muggle65 to have a crack at this one. Let him suffer for a while then pointed it out. Really fun cache. Thank you so much
No, not at all, rock walls aren’t fun, well, for some maybe, I’ve yet to have a good experience with one, maybe this one will be that one perhaps?
After spending about 5 minutes searching with zero luck I decided to read the hint, I think I should’ve done that straight up, but doesn’t that make it less of a challenge? Well, for a rock walk I need all the help I can get.
I did exactly what the hint told me to do, I took a few steps back, took a few deep breathes and gazed at GZ until something jumped out at me and sure enough the cache was in hand shortly after.

Although I knew what I was looking for due to the clue, it still took some walking up and down to find. Previous cacher says camo is in two bits - it's actually three as I found some more camo on our way back to the car. Have put it with the hide.
The first ever rock search I did I came across a snake skin before I found the cache so I’m always wary of these hides. I poked around here and there. Moved further along. Poked some more. Stood back and did just as the hint suggested. Nothing. Moved along a bit further and bingo there it was. Nice one! Part of the camo has come apart so now in 2 sections.

I had a quick look for this, but couldn't spot it, so I headed to French Ave extension.
On my way back, I spent a good 30 minutes searching for this one, even ignoring the text in the description and searching on top of the wall. Nothing. It was whilst searching everything (and I mean everything) I spotted something that looked a little odd and there it was. Very very sneaky. Haven't seen one like that for a while.
Thanks!!

Out today to continue a personal challenge I have set myself, it seems I need two caches to keep my challenge going today.
With a quick drive over to Bunnings for some home pieces, I took Charli and the dog for a walk around with me. I saw these come out a while ago and was in no hurry to collect, but today seemed like a good time to find them. This one had us for a bit and had Charli climbing the wall, she loves to climb, not really interested in finding the cache, lol. After reading the hint, the hide was obvious and we soon had the cache in hand. Nice job on the hide, the cache camo is in two pieces, not sure if it is supposed to be that way or not.
With the log signed and cache replaced as found we started our way back to the car and around to the next one in the area. Thanks for the cache, all good with this one.

In the area for the Pine Rivers Show, and I’ve just found out the second dog show has been cancelled due to Brisbane going into another snap three day lockdown… so my day of caching is being curtailed…
I picked up a couple of rocks before I read the cache description and hint… well that did it… I soon had the cache in hand… the camo is coming apart but it still works…
Tftc… and yes, Saturday is very quiet in here…

We weren’t actually planning to stop here but as we were driving past we couldn’t resist. The last time we were here the cache was not in place but a chance meeting with CO soon had that rectified. A nice quick find this time as we knew exactly what we were looking for, having found it last time. Great camo. TFTC Stephyy
Heading north for a day of caching, we decided to made a slight detour to avenge an earlier DNF on this cache. Some time after our last visit, we met the CO at another cache and has a chat about this one - turns out it had gone missing! We’d been looking at the right type of object last time, which made for a nice, quick find this time. We really liked the unusual camo!!
