By Pprime (P`) on 05-Mar-23. Waypoint GCA5K3Z

Found this cache with my beautiful gf Kristina ! Log is soaked and cache might need some water proofing ?

Nice find with my beautiful bf - the log is super drenched though - needs maintenance

Found on a humid day w my daughter. TFTC. Signed log. Lots of mozzies!

The next challenge was to get over here in peak hour traffic. I parked on some stripey lines and wandered over. Some Deja vu here, I think.Cache easily found and in fine condition.As I walked back to my car, I heard the terrible sound of a fender bender happening live. A bloke had driven into the back of a learner driver. Ouch. Hopefully not much harm done and I was glad I had parked a bit further along.TFTC where all is fine.

Nice hide! Found and rehidden.

Nice and easy with Geo-puppy TFTC! This is find number 436Signed log as KOPHD

Nice quick one

Found! Quick and easy. SL

It was only a short walk from where I parked to GZ. The cache was located exactly where it was supposed to be. The log was signed and the cache returned as found. TFTC

Next, CuriousQuest and I made our way to this cache. A quick find was made and our names added to the log. With everything returned as found, we continued on our way. TFTC

Out and about with Selva Girls today. A quick look and the cache was in hand. Log was signed and replace as found. TFTC

24/7/2024 Find #7101Wednesday wanderings out and about with cosmonaut97 today. And after time at the movies, we decided to grab a few nearby caches before our day was done. Of course a Pprime cache not yet found by me is a good draw card. Getting close to end of school time now, we managed to grab a parking spot near the school and take a bit of a walk. At GZ the cache was quickly found with good coordinates and a spot on hint. Thanks for the cache Pprime (P`).

Thx PPrime. Quick find with 1minniemoo on our Wednesday walkies. TFTC.

Container and log replaced

Need a new container and logbook having suffered from rodents and the elements.

Container and log replaced.

Located the cache quickly but unfortunately the lid has been chewed and the cache was filled with water making the logbook a soggy piece of mash. I did manage to stamp a page as I didnt have any fresh paper with me unfortunately. TFTC

Soggy but still there Thanks

Great hide, log a bit wet. TFTC

TFTC. Found with hint

Found it under attack by mozzies

Unfortunately too wet to sign TFTC

Little bit off on the map but can find it

Nice easy find today. As per previous logs, the lid needs replacing. Log signable. TFTC

Looks like a rat has gnawed the lid, water is getting in, quick find thanks to the hint. TFTC

Found it - couldnt signed got attacked by mossies , cache needs replacing damp from the rain

The existing cache lid has been eaten and needs replacing . Could the next geo please help out ,sorry we didn't have a replacement cache with us at this time.

We, are over this way visiting family for Xmas. Did a quick stop here and soon added our name to the log. Merry Christmas to you all.

But difficult but we did it

Looking for a cache to collect, I note a second generation of Ban-Yobbos have been hatched. After dropping off some manual labor device which didn't work, headed down Sandgate Road and found a parking spot to collect a few random caches in this pocket. Once I got the right tree, this was a quick find. Thanks P' for breeding up another generation of Yobbos.

Nice one,

Done

Not too bad, it might need renew since paper is wet

Very easy found. A bit wet inside.

Something has chewed a hole in the lid. Thanks for the cache Pprime (P`)

Nice spot

1/10/23 Cache #10Little walk to get there and near some footy fields. Logbook was damp and a bit grey looking, so its a bit A few muggles around but found it pretty quickThanks Pprime (P') for the cache!

Our first cache!!!

Second cache for the day while out walking. Log a little damp, but still able to log find. Tftc

Having a new windscreen put in the geomobile I have 3 hours to kill, and this seems like a pretty good way to do it. This is number 1 for today, thanks for the cache but a new container or at least a lid would be good. I think a possum has been having a nibble

It was a bit it got wet

It was hidden well.

Out for about three hours this afternoon to sort out the majority of this series. I had previously found two, found eleven today, plus two misses (including the final). A short time ago talking to the CO he commented how the series is doable on pushbike, so I decided to tackle it on my scooter. So after lunch, I started near Guns and followed a counter-clockwise circuit of the icons. This may well be the most detailed tour I've done of any suburb that I've never lived in. And it felt rather homely to me, given my Logan background also. I choose to not resemble any yobbo remarks! What a lovely way to spend the afternoon; perfect weather and enjoying the calm of a chilled-out Saturday.

From The Game, there was a broad, lovely bike path to follow at decent speed towards this geocache. How lovely to just follow Google Maps, a kilometre or two between each geocache. Flipping down the stand at GZ, there was a family way off yonder utilising the field, but seemed to not even notice me. Perfect. After poking around a minute, I came up with the container. Sadly though, another critter has also found the container. But I signed my name at 13:40 and replaced as found. Onwards! Thanks for this geocache, Pprime (P`)

Easy find, the cache is in need of some love though. Something has eaten through the container, the inside is wet.

Enjoyed a rainy stroll this afternoon and found this one. I’ll have to brave the final one of these days! Thanks

Found this cache with TBU1Bikesu.

As we had a 3 hours' time gap between the celebration of Grannysmith1947's 10th geocaching anniversary and our eldest son's 45th Birthday, we decided today to tackle caches in the Banyo/Virginia area.

We found this cache and signed the log. The lid is obviously damaged, but the previously wet logbook was dry.

Tftc Pprime (P')

There r a few places that match the hint; located after a brief search. I was ignored by the muggled on the oval, & a long time ago, when I 1st started caching, there was 1 on the nearby light pole... T4TC:-)

Seeing this was only a few hundred meters from somewhere I needed to be this afternoon, I just had to take the short detour to find it. All the junior muggles were still at school so there was no one about as I made my way along the path to GZ where I made a speedy find thanks to the excellent hint. The lid has been gnawed but the cache was still dry inside today. Thanks Pprime (P`)

Came to find after a DNF last time. Log book needs to be replaced. TFTC

With some spare time today I made the most of it and grabbed a few caches in this area, I dragged along the geohound to get her out of the house.
Parking nearby I wandered over to gz and quickly found the cache.
Log signed, all replaced as found.
Thanks Prime (P') for the cache.

Log wet and I could not sign log. Photo of evidence I found it.

Log needs maintenance as it is water logged..
Out walking, trying to get my fitness back. Thanks for cache

I think there is some current challenge thing where you need a daily streak to get a souvenir. Maybe I am wrong. Have lots going on at the moment. Today, I actually managed to get away from work early enough to head to run an afternoon errand nearby. With time and daylight on my hands, I figured I would grab a cache and maybe collect some souvenir thingy (or not).

No muggles around, so this was a nice quick find to clean up another Yobbo. (Just when you think they are all done, there is another Yobbo around the corner) .

However, the log book was too wet to sign and bordering on mush. A close inspection of the container revealed the lid has been chewed by a local rodent, so there was little point in me traipsing back to the car to tear some dry paper out of the back of my current novel. My attached photo log will have to do.

Many thanks Pprime

Awesome found it

I think I know what's it is hidden, but I didn't want to step foot in that long grass

Headed out on the geo-car for a few caches today.

Decided to hit a few around Banyo before picking up my kids from the airport this morning.

Quick find as per the hint.

TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Pprime (P`) I found your cache Ban-Yobbo - Kids Play #2 on 19/4/2023, 5:05 pm. This is my find 5081 and find # 18 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Out with Barb for the day.

After Barb's last visit you can believe me when I say I was over cautious. Everyone knows how mush I like snakes...NOT.

Able to access cache and sign log.

TFTC

no snake today ... he went and slid away

how there are black ants and they bite

oh now i see a vomit tree, really glad we came back before the fruit are smelly

Dropped my son to the airport a few days ago, found this one on the way home and just realised I hadn't recorded it. Easy find and a nice walk to it. TFTC

Heading home after some caching in Nudgee, but there's still a couple more smileys to gather along the way. Great parking made for an easy wander to GZ and the cache was in the first spot I looked. No sleepy guardians to be seen today. Clue noted. TFTC, Prime.

TFTC - another successful find today - think my drought for caches is finally over!!
Now to go and try my luck for all the other unsuccessful finds lol

On my way between meetings and picked this one up quiet quickly.

Found a yobbo cache near this location quiet a few years ago.

Cheers

i think mr p is trying to kill me

nope not the little guardian laying at my feet ...
the plant of death growing around the tree

i can see exactly what i need to lift up but i will be back

tb visit

A quick trip into Ban-Yobbo territory to grab this new cache…

Finding convenient parking it was only a short walk to GZ where the cache was a quick spot…

It appears something has found the container to its taste… and it may need to be replaced…

After making my mark I returned the container with a little more camo…

No kids nor yobbos were harmed in this experience today… thanks Pprime (P`)

Had a pick-up on this side today, as I was almost driving past here I stopped for this new replacement in the jobbo series.
After I reached for the cache I noticed the sleepy guardian in the picture
Find number 29409 for me.
Thank you Pprime (P`) for hiding this geocache.

I was running a little early for my hospital appointment and saw there were a few new caches around the place. Needing a cache today to keep my personal challenge ticking along I drove over to this one. I parked up at the start of the walking path and headed off just a short distance. There were two items of interest and I obviously picked the wrong one at the start. I wondered over to the other and found the hide very easily.

I signed the log, retrieved the details and then returned the cache as found, with the extra camo on top. Thanks for the hide.

I was here not long ago finding version 1. Again had the place to myself. Signed and returned to its new home. TFTC

Quick find barking dog nearby tftc

Afternoon ride with friends, I didn’t even realise a new geo was here. TFTC

I heard a conversion last night that the Ban- Yobbo breeding season had been successful this year. Well with a Biosecurity background I make a point of trying to eliminate this noxious species before it gets a chance to spread. That said there is a small outbreak on the other side of a creek on the way to the dump that had avoided my extermination attempts to date. I think they are competing with the bin chickens for food.

Back to the kids. Despite what the cache notes indicate no a Ban-Yobbo kid was to be seen in either of the two sports fields, not a Ban Yobbo kid on any of the bikeways or climbing any of the trees. I suspect that there could be a Ban- Yobbo kid or kids in the nearby toilets either spraying graffiti, blowing up pans or basins or doing drugs. I dare not look.
