In plain sight alright! Thanks for posting

Parked the car and thought I saw it right in front of me. Hiding in plain sight all right.Quickest find today. TFTC

Nice to know where to get our local fish. Support our Australian trawlers.

It was a windy afternoon down by the seaside! As I wanted it up I kept my eyes peeled and location merged! Thanks

Out for a little caching on a beautiful afternoon in Paradise. An easy find with the help of the hint. It was indeed in plain sight..Tftc

Thanks for the cache. I initially approached from Peters and so purchased some calamari and prawns. Then on into the coop area and after a quick chat with a local. A quick find, sign and replace.

I am down under for the very first time. ???? Visiting Australia has always been a dream of mine, and I cannot believe it has come true. Australia's nature and wildlife really captivated me. Over three weeks, I saw many wonderful beaches, sunsets, animals such as ????????, and I found great geocaches. My tour guide was mostly geocaching, and through it, I discovered many beautiful places I wouldnt have seen without our great hobby. I mainly stayed in Brisbane but also visited other gorgeous places such as Noosa Heads and Springbrook. I spent a few days on the Gold Coast and Moreton Island, and I went to New South Wales to have visited a second state in Australia. During my stay, the winter and early spring in Queensland were very warm, the sun shone every single day, and I did not see a single drop of rain. My time down under was so beautiful and unforgettable. Australia is such a stunning country!????? Today I spent a day in the Gold Coast. I really like this area and I discovered beautiful places. On this hot day I walked and cycled a lot. I also looked for many geocaches like this one. At GZ I found the cache easily. After signing the log I put the container back as found. Thank you for this geocache says Mr. J. Cacher from the other side of the world ????

Love these type of caches, just hidden in plain view - thanks for your effort in making this cache container. Just enough room for a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin. TFTC

I was on foot & came from Sth. Took me a while 2 figure out how 2 get "in" but once in, a quick find, T4TC:-)

Interesting place. Found. Aussie Liahona, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area.

Clever girl

Found today, was the first thing we checked, but did not check thoroughly until it was the last option. Nice hide. HN

Found whilst enjoying a day driving along the coast with earthlight. TFTC

A quick spot. Tftc

A day trip to the Gold Coast today, I grabbed a couple of caches while here.Thanks Aussie Liahona for placing the cache here.

Pelicans being sighted always adds to the dayWe are in the area for just a few nights visiting family.We have our new bikes with us and we are going to enjoy testing them out.Beautiful weather today for a ride along the coast Thanks for bringing us here and adding to our fun today.TFTC

Last day in Southport. Out for a quick ride and cache before we depart northbound.

Our last day in the area came to find this cache. Put our initials since there's no room on the log. Next person bring some paper! Quick find. TFTC

Such an awesome find! Our first in plain sight cache, certainly a fave!

We're heading down to Kirra Beach for the weekend and of coure the geomonsters were hungry by the time we reached Southport. While Sandra bought us all lunch at Peters Fish Market, I wandered up towards the roundabout to gain entry to the secure area where the boats were. I guessed what the container would be as I walked towards GZ.Thanks!!#3661

Nice easy find. Tftc

These are my favourite hidden in plain sight caches tftc

A quick find by my wife and on our way. TFTC JenneG and Budgy Nth Nowra NSW.

We spotted this one fairly quickly buy had to confirm with similar structures nearby before making a grab at the cache dut to the muggles nearby. Managed to retrieve and replace in between workers, using as much of our stealth skills as possible.Thanks for the cache!

Couldnt find it.

Heading to an event soon on the other side of the water. Cruised around on the geo-cycle to get the AL WP at Seaworld. Stopped for this one the way. Nicely done. A favourite point for it

Tftc. I drove by this cache on christmas eve (or day before christmas eve) morning, but there was huge line of people waiting for gates to open, so I did not even try this cache that day. Today as the weather was windy and rainy, there was not much other people around. Parked my car, checked that I am some 5 meters from GZ, jumped out of my car and spotted the container right away. Thank you.

Found

I initially tried taking the first turn-off (from the south), to then face a locked gate. I thought that access may not be permitted on this special Christmas holiday, but it quickly looked like there was activity behind the fence and cars coming in/out, so I then took the correct route to get into the Gold Coast Fishermens Co-op compound.Funnily enough, there were people clearly trying to get their fresh fish for Christmas meals, with only one fishing boat "open" and a queue formed. Another boat had prawns freshly blackboarded, before noting that they had sold out (probably needed to be here before parkrun!).Despite suspecting this cache camouflage/type, it still took a couple of loops before spotting the suited cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and I noted that there was no sign of the last finder in the logbook. A Favourite Point as I enjoyed this location getting pointed out, as well as its terrific camouflage. Thanks [Aussie Liahona](https://coord.info/PR34PKD) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Merry Christmas! The family celebrated Christmas staying in Robina in the Gold Coast, which provided an opportunity to visit geocaches in the region.This morning, it was an early start with Main Beach parkrun jogging 5 km while the heat and humidity increased. With no Christmas storms in sight, I headed north for geocaches along the Spit, and then targeted a few geocaches as I returned home to see the rest of the family. The beaches were busy along the Spit as people took advantage of the unexpected heat, and relaxed on the sand.

Couldnt find this one

Took us a second, great camouflage

Muggles sitting in their car right at GZ, maybe next time

Very clever.

Nice hide TFTC left a tiny painted rock.

Went around multiple times around the coordinates but I think its missing? From the past pictures of others, it's too big for us not to spot it. Maybe someone find it and prove us wrong? Haha oh Wells.

Visiting from the Great White North

Was stumped and mislead by the lantern like many before me before my eyes feel on too a familiar type of camo.

TFTC as always

Another fantastic hide by the CO. Looked and looked, using the directions given - looked far and wide, and almost gave up. Then one of the occupants of the boats popped his head out and asked if we were looking for a thing - and he confirmed we were in the right spot. One last look and an aha moment. I'd seen these before, but I think I had a preconceived idea of what I was looking for. Found with MrMagoo72 and grandson Connor. A definite fav vote from me. TFTC.

Quick find. TFTC

A quick find. TFTC

A straightforward find here. Thanks, Aussie Liahona!

Out again this morning, early before breakfast at the hotel. I wandered north to a small group of caches and this one was the first. I spent too long investigating a fake light, before finding the cache. Cache is in good condition, thanks for the hide Aussie Liahona, find #8762 at 7.15am

Beautiful views from this location. Wasted time trying to open a child’s lantern that was rusting, as per the previous finder. Nearly gave up before finding the familiar camo. TFTC Aussie Liahona

TFTC nice quick find after eating at Peters fish market

N8ce and easy thanks.

Was here for work, so before I left this morning I came and grabbed this one as I know I need one for this date. So I small walk around the location. There it is, got the log out and put it back again. Thanks for another cache

Found it

Checked on this one today as we were in the area. Cache had crept away from it's original location and so I moved it to where it was supposed to be. All good here.
Cheers and happy caching!

Caching around the north Gold Coast and stopped in here at the car park and after a short search the tricky hide was located. After signing we watched a trawler boat leave its berth. A FP given for the unique container.

Found this one easily.

Nice camo. Love the ones in plain sight.

With an early start to my easter break, i ventured out local to where we are staying to pick up a few nearby caches before having to commence some work from home. Being easter the carpark was near capacity this morning with loads of locals picking up their supply of seafood in advance of Good Friday. Luckily Ground zero was located at the end of the carpark that was unoccupied and away from the kilos of prawns being sold.

I could see the hide from the car, so it made a nice quick find and sign. Great way to kick off the morning.

Big thanks to the Cache Owner for making this cache available.

Oh yes, it's that most glorious of things; a Sunday with next to no plans! I decided this afternoon to get out for a bit of a drive and settled on a first stop nearly at Springbrook. I had driven through a storm on the highway, clouds in the mountains and walked through rain to geocaches, but still had more time. No worries, there's geocaches around Southport I want, so why not go for a bit of a detour on the way home?

Many, many times I've eaten from Peters, so knew this area well. I arrived at the usual area behind the shop to pause and eat a falafel I'd bought near a previous geocache. I absolutely pondered a second-dinner of fish and chips, but didn't get there.

Nearing the end of watching the tide through raindrops on my windscreen, I noted that GZ didn't make sense for where I was seated. I poked about on satellite view and realised the co-op next door exists, entry off the roundabout. Hey, every day a school day!

I drove the quick lap and entered into the fishing boats area. Nobody seemed to be selling wares and only two or three fisher-folks getting about. I did my best impressopn of "watching the water" while I leaned against a pole and retrieved the geocache. Classic hide right here!

Logbook signed and replaced at 16:45. The cloud was still below the highest buildings, and the traffic heading north to home was negligible. Unheard of for a Sunday afternoon. This has been a good afternoon. Thanks for the geocaches, Aussie Liahona

Real good

Day at the beach, thought we would stop by to find a cache. Found it after no time, creative hide!! TFTC

Today I joined up with go-friends RoddyC, Hatzofff and Patrol14 to attend a couple of Events down the Gold Coast and also find a few caches that we haven't yet found. We arrived at GZ and a quick search and the cache was revealed thanks to a step up.
Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

10.28am
Down on the Gold Coast with RoddyC hatzofff and Imbunda attending 2 events and caching in between.
Found parking nearby and after searching a likely hide and came up with the cache. Signed log and returned as found. Saw a few large fish swimming around near the boats but no fishing allowed and I was disappointed to say the least. Prawns were on sale too.
Tftc

Caching and trying to keep cool on this warm day with RoddyC Imbunda and Patrol14.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with ..... a log book inside, I hope. Success.

Catching with hatzofff, patrol14 and imbunda on the Gold Coast north.

Boats were busily selling their catches today.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 10:25 AM on February 18, 2023. TFTC, Aussie Liahona

Got it TFTC

Found it with DeafSanta
Thank u
Love boats

My mate had a great laugh watching me try and find it when he found it easily being an expert

Once again today I have a pre-Christmas business meeting. Today is at the hotel next door and I am 30 minutes early so enough time to grab this new geocache.
TFTC

Love this one, Tftc!

quick find tftf

No pen, just coming back from the beach and decided to see if any were around me. Fun and simple find

Finally catching up with my back-logging*

Down on the Gold Coast again today for my whale research survey. I had a bit of time to kill before the boat departure so decided to quickly check this cache out. Woah! Such a beautiful location. Luckily no too many people were around this morning as I felt like such a suspicious being haha. TFTC! I love these type of hides.

Not a great day for the beach, so I thought I’d tick off the new caches on the spit.
A quick easy find. Thanks AL for the new cache.

Clever! My first in Australia. Tftc

Tonight with GOROR I was able to turn this saf face into a smiley!!! Yay. Clever cammo.

Nice easy find, especially when you know the cache type
TFTC

Found it. Thanks

Looked for this while waiting for fish n chips. Brought me to a locked gate with private property behind it and still 45 meters to go. Maybe I did something wrong? Fish n chips were excellent though!

Took the recommendation and stopped off for some food from the fish & chip shop then wandered over to the cache site while I ate. In plain view indeed, but quite clever. Thanks
