Sneaky hide get what you mean by mint in a guardrail

TFTC I made the find on my way to a meeting this morning. The cache was in great condition. I stamped the log sheet and then replaced it as found

Found it with a minion key ring. Great spot!!

Had to fight the plovers for the find but they were no match for two determined cachers.

TFTC Found by my littlest geo-munchkin AmazingGracieGrace with the hint. SL left SWAG as GC was empty & RAF

Good spot n

tftc!

Nice hide

Found with Dozenmater,,TFTC

TFTC - found with rainygirl74

Finally completing the rest of this series. A good hide in the typical spot, which should survive well for a long time. Always tricky finding a hide in densely populated areas so well done. Cheers for the cache.

We found the cache easily. Thankyou for placing it GeokidNQ.

Just attempting to clean up these today as I’m chasing the 5/2 DT rating of the final. Not sure how i’ll go with the light but there shouldn’t be as many things to trip over in the long grass around Annandale
Nice to see another burgo78 bugbear cache all i can say is I’m glad we don’t have LPCs in this country. Signed and replaced

Having chased down many of these caches during our FTF streak, we regretted seeing the last couple drop on the same day, meaning that this one most likely would get smashed and others would get the final. Not that that was too disheartening as we knew that any FTF was up for grabs by all the hounds in town for the Mega. The local boys did really well continuing their own streak under that pressure. In any case the Final was snaffled up prior to us getting there.
I have noted that the final is still disabled. Hopefully That can be replaced shortly so I can complete this little series, which got a good share of visits over the Easter weekends, and i know I was asked to help out with a couple of the tricky tree climbs by some of the more aged cachers.
Thanks GeokidNQ for placing this and thanks in advance for replacing the Final. Have to get another badge for my profile page somehow.

Thank you GeokidNQ for the cache

Nice Hide found with Piggy357.

Nice quick find. Tftc

Today we said goodbye to our Townsville geocaching Uber support Bill and Di Morgan, who have been kind enough to drive us around Townsville during the MEga and beyond. They are heading slowly south, while we wait to get the car fixed at Toyota. Today was out on the bike as our now only mode of transport and we decided that Annadale series of caches and those sprinkled around that area would be a good start, as long as the weather held out. A few passing showers but nothing to get us too wet.

Thanks GeokidNQ for the caches.

Quick find in the drizzle and between passing traffic. Thanks for another cache.

Found with the Megatrons.
We were real keen to find the bonus caches and the others in the series.

Thank you for the series.
Thanks GeokidNQ

Up for the Mega as part of The Megatrons Team (The Bug, Crash, Tardis and myself). Plenty of caches and ground covered. Thanks to all the COs. Another big day as we are enjoying ourselves in and around town.
We completed the signing duties and re hid

As the final of this series had a certain pull on my I went exploring Annandale.
Quick finds and a good variety, some will need a bit of extra protection before the wet sets is

Thank you for this cache

That was so blatantly obvious it was sneaky. Another code in the series noted. TFTC GeokidNQ.

Day 12 of the road trip to Townsville to with LuckyL10n and today all about the caches around town.

We started off near our hotel in Aitkenvale and drove out in ever increasing circles finding a cache as we went. At 1200 it was time to head back to the mega site for the farewell event and BBQ.

We arrived a GZ and started our search. It wasn't long and the cache was in hand and the log signed.

Thanks for the cache...made our Easter Sunday morning

#14136; Day twelve of the Townsville Mega adventure with Sol de lune. Spent the morning collecting caches close to our accommodation then working our way towards the racecourse for the Farewell event. Plenty of opportunities to deploy one of the ToTTs in our toolkit, which certainly earned its keep this morning as we worked our way through the "Townsville 2022" trail. Managed to retrieve sign and replace all of the caches on our morning mission, with logs signed L.L10n & Sdl or vice versa. TFTC GeokidNQ

Another where the GPS wasn’t required.

Thanks GeokidNQ for creating and placing this for us to enjoy. That’s the series done. Cheers

Out with Susan for some more caches in Townsville.

Townsville Mega Event 2022. Friday. Our group of 3 ladies, signing our names as SSQ for this trip to Townsville for the mega, were collecting as many caches as we could before heading off to the official commencement ceremony. Beautiful area and well deserving of a power trail along here. Thankyou for placing caches here for us to find and enjoy.

This was the 13th of 21 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***GeokidNQ*** for showing us this place

My find #1260

Saw the cache pop up and ditched the thought of lunch to see if we could get a Townsville FTF! A nice blank log book greeted is on arrival. Yay!! *FTF*

Joint *FTF* with escr, ardom and JACS Team.

I had just climbed fear factor 5 and scoped out the other climbs in the area when I noticed a couple of new caches in the area. I mentioned it to my buddies and we were off to grab them.
We arrived at GZ and the anticipation as we opened the container. YES….. the opened container revealed a blank log. I was sooo happy to get this one a FTF in another town, oh yeah. We all signed the log and then returned the cache as found. Thank you for placing this one here.

Oh hang on I just noticed this is part of a series that has already come out. Maybe I could grab a few more caches while I was here in the area. And so the hunt began.

FTF with Chamad, JACS Team and ESCR (and no-one else). Were just leaving the area when this popped up on the radar. Arrived to a nice clean log book and signed - just like a FTF should be...

[FTF] still showing as FTF so logging it after a massive detour on my bike to get here.

So excited to be attending my second MEGA and to fly
to a destination for fun! And return to the tropics in an equally long time

Great to meet new faces and to spend caching time with some familiar cachers as well.Find #5395

A few days ahead to explore this beautiful hot city. So much caching on offer, and apologies for the generic log.

And so it goes, just happy to pick up caches such as this one. Thanks to GeokidNQ for putting out and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment!

Happy to be able to score the [FTF] on this with the crew after a morning of climbing of trees.
