I wanted to fill a gap in my calendar so picked a spot while completing my outreach work. Needed a park and grab to keep moving. 3.15pm and I must have picked peak hour for this year intersection and cara going past for school pick up! I resorted to pretending I was on the phone while I cast my eyes over the area. Oh there is it. Took a seat, Signed and replaced. TFTC! #1615
Really cool case, took two people to find it, I think the difficulty should be raised a bit,
Nice! Got to GZ after a short drive down Fleming Rd to quickly grab this one. Definitely had experience with these types of caches before, and this was no exception. Hint was funny and made sense. Nice one, thanks for the cache!Coolabah OUT!!!
First ever Geo Cache hunt. An adventure with dad, took well over 10 minutes to find but was a great first solve! TFTC
TFTC interesting cache not too hard to find once you realise what your looking for.

Took a while but luckily I have been fooled by this camouflage technique only a couple of days previously

Solo Wednesday wanderings today, I decided to head back over this way and clear a few more caches from my map.
I wandered over to GZ, initially approaching my search from above but then headed below and soon spied a likely object. I made use of my surroundings to sit comfortably while signing the log.
Thanks for the cache ERWK05.

Nearly gave up but took a seat as suggested then found quickly. Nicely camouflaged. Tftc
After finding a nearby cache, I headed to this one. I parked the geomobile and walked up the hill. I spotted the cache from above then made my way to a more convenient spot to make the grab. Log signed, everything returned as found, then I was headed for home. TFTC
I took a drive out to Ipswich for an errand today and decided to return home through Kenmore and Chapel Hill to grab a couple of caches.
That's a busy intersection, but I was patient and made the grab between cars and buses and tradies' vans and pedestrians Love the ones IPS and it blends in very well. TFTC,ERWK05.

Needing a couple of caches for the day I decided to take a very indirect route to work…
Except it’s way to hot to go caching….
Very IPS… a nice quick find and I was back to the air con…
Thanks ERWK05

Over this way today. Easier than expected and definitely hidden in plain sight. Tftc
A busy day for me today but I didn’t want to break my daily streak so I needed a quick find and thought this might be one. Arrived, looked, saw it, signed it. TFTC!
Being nearby I thought I should stop & give this one a go even though there was a DNF previously today. I’m happy to say it was a quick find TFTC
Parked in Chapel Hill Rd opposite the bus stop. A fun find. Left a trinket. TFTC
I knew what I was looking for so I don't know how we missed it the first time. TFTC
Found in the dark with my family. Introducing them to geocaching. Great cache and lots of fun finding it.
I knew exactly what I was looking for but simply couldn’t locate it. I wandered around for a while and spotted it from a distance. Certainly located so that one can take a seat.
Did the formalities and then back to the car. TFTC!

Not far from home this one and was at nearby friends passing by, so on way home picked it up for days find. Bit tricky in the dark, but the torch helped and spotted it easily. Tftc
Out about with Willis007 today for a fun day of caching. I must be still catching up from my trip and from logging 500 caches, as I was very slow to react to situations and coordinate changes today. It was a great day, not our usual rush around day, a very slow day, more a catch up type of caching day.
We saw this one as we were passing and thought why not. It had us searching in different areas until I stopped and thought a little, then there it was, nicely sitting in its natural camouflaged area.
Thanks for placing it here and with the log signed and cache replaced as found I was onto the next one.

Took a bit of looking but found after expanding the search a little.
Thanks for the cache ERWK05.

What has got into our geocache community? only 3 finds after 6 weeks, and those all in the first week! An easy find, thanks, but managed to spill half the trinket contents when opening the container. I don't think this type of container is the best for swaps, but they are there. Added my name to the log after ensuring the traffic had ceased for a while, then replaced everything where it should be. TFTC, ERWK05.

A new cache, <2.5km from home! Doesn’t happen often…
I zipped past this afternoon and after a glance at the hint, set about frisking down the wrong area entirely and got nice and dirty doing it.
After working things out, I walked further and spotted a familiar shape.
TFTC where all is fine. I have included above the coord decimals which worked for me today.

*FTF* First to Find at 17:29 hr.
This morning, I ended up making a short drive and completed the * I See Dead People * Adventure Lab.
In the afternoon, I took a drive chasing a newly published geocache in Chapel Hill, and decided to take a short walk/jog around the base of Mount Coot-tha scrubland, finishing walking the Butterfly Track.
I was helping out at home when the notification of this cache went out, and so I thought I would make a drive to this location. Traffic was good, and after parking just opposite GZ, I had a short look around. The coordinates had me a little in the garden, and so I then expanded my search focusing on the hint. After checking the obvious, the cache revealed itself. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, which was to be expected given its first visitor. I stamped the logbook, but given its waterproof nature, I suspect it will only be time until my green stamp fades. The coordinates were perhaps 5-10 m out, but close enough. Thanks ERWK05 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
