It took a bit of time and money to manufacture this cache.....it wont be replaced.
Looked and looked and looked. Looked here and there. This location Wingaap 1, Freddo 0.
A normal cache at last. Getting depressed with No Finds and micros. A really nice reserve and just loved the camo. TFTC
One of a few finds today on my day out caching around Brisbane. Managed to find a shortcut to this cache on a side street through a vacant block of land within 300m walk of the cache. At least for a little while this access point will still remain no sign of a building here yet!!

We walked around this park and did 4 caches, as it threatened to start raining. The wild turkeys were cool - but too fast for my camera. TFTC.
With a name like Moneydork, how could I resist this one??

Came here from ‘Off the track’ geocache! Was getting the hang of these bush paths on the bike! Also, managed to find this one quickly! Quite obvious this one really! Still – I like it a lot! TNLN, thanks for bringing me into this forest wingaap!
A pleasant walk through a lovely area with the geo-grandkids. Only 2 pages left in log book. TFTC
Second in this forest. What a clever hide! Went down the difficult way, as others have before me.

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon...and to think we never even knew this amazing park existed! Great little hide in a very pretty spot. Thanks!
Wandered about for a bit at this cache looking for something out of place. Eventually found it, but it took some serious looking. What else can I say but, "Well done. You got me again." TN/LN/SL.
Another very cleverly hidden cache by the master of disguise.
I approached from the wrong track, but the cache was found within 10 minutes.

A lovely walk through the bush to get to this one. The GPS did not like the tree cover so we found ourselves looking in all the wrong places. A quick look at the hint helped and we had the rather sneakily hidden cache in no time. TFTC.
Nice hide. This cache is literally 100 metres from my sister in law's house. I must have driven past it about 50 times! With me were MyronAllen (a cacher), and Sarah, Linda and Matthew (non-cachers).

A few junior muggles playing in their backyards on the ingress to this cache, but they ignored us for all intents and purposes. Got to within about 6 metres and searched for a while with no luck for about 5 minutes. It was a lucky find for us, as we almost walked right past the cache. With me were MyronAllen (a cacher), and Sarah, Linda and Matthew (non-cachers).
What an appropriate hide for my 100th cache. Worthy of listing in my bookmark list.
It was a slow start but the past 6 months have been just delightful, chock full of fun, frustration, and smiles!
A rather apt 100th given the hide and the person who owns the cache....

I was out caching at night and this one came up on my list. When I was near GZ, my GPS pointed me around 20 metres off the track. I didn't think that this was likely, so I kept walking on to the next in the hope the GPS would do better on my return.
On my way back to the car, it was still pointing me off, but this time, only around 5 metres. I followed it around for a while, but had to be very careful as there were a couple of muggles out the back of the nearby house. I read some previous logs, and decided I was probably not in the right area, and thus decided to abandon my search.
I'd like to say I'll be back, but when such an opportunity will present itself, I just don't know. Thanks for the cache anyway.

Took 2 tries to find this one. An easier find when a little birdie whispers in your ear. My GPS had me half way up the hill but I should have known better for a wingamp cache.

Spotted by the littlest freak after our GPS took us a little high. Superb hide - we were thoroughly impressed!
Thank goodness we didn't see the spider another clever hide picked up digger TB, thanks for the fun wingaap
oooooooo, very clever. The large spider also seems to approve! Left the digger TB. Thanks wingaap!
Cache was guarded by a large huntsman spider. A very clever hide - starting to expect nothing less! Cheers from Featherwaite.
This cache was find number 32 of 102 finds I did with Dtay for our record attempt on Saturday 18 November 2006.
We were here at 07:30 hours.
My GPS took me a bit further off the track at first, but Dtay dragged me back with a "here it is".
Recorded our visit and scooted off down the hill to the next one.

Dropped of a TB. It was pleasing to see that the cache had been placed as originally hidden. Many thanks to the last couple of finders
Found at 11:32pm approx and it was my 2nd visit to this one. Why didn't I look to see that it was a wingaap hide in the first place??? In: Wooden fish Out: light globe
Cache creep and then some!!
I've placed the cache back where it was originally...and hidden it as it was hidden originally.
Future finders....please ensure that you replace the cache as it was found. Thanks
Yeah, second time lucky, but ohhh, the frustration of it. Knowing I was all of about 6 inches from the cache on the morning of my record breaking run. It would have been 63 for the day. In daylight, my daughter spotted the cache from about 10 metres away. Stood out like the proverbial DeesBees. Found at 5.30pm. Second for the day travelling through from the Gold Coast to Bribie. Dropped in T/B Tobor the time sentinel, to stand guard over this cache, as it took so much time for me to find it.

Found with the Carta Jnr,
Wingaap have you trained some guard birds or something because whilst attempting to reach the cache I was swooped twice by a kamikaze Butcher bird.
Had no trouble in locating the cache. Three down in the Reserve one to go. Also drop of a Geocoin.
Lovely spot for mountain biking and bushwalking.

Nothing like being muggled with a cache this big in your hands. Whoops. Good thing we were away from its location and it was a family, so I think the cache will be safe and sound.
Nice work on this one

Reserve bank – DNF In the same area as Off Track. I wasn’t really optimistic with this one, but headed off down hill alone. By now, one of the girls was asleep in the back, so we were a team of two, and the other one had had enough of scratched legs at Off Track. Me searching, and she setting up for the next cache. I found the general area of the cache, (As confirmed by Wingaap later when we met) but search as I might, I couldn’t find this one either. And with the previous DNF, and the clock ticking, I couldn’t afford to spend a heap of time here, so after about 10 minutes, I called another DNF.

Down from Toowoomba for a 21st and naturally had to do some Geocaching while down here. This was our first find for the day and a very cleverly disguised one to start with too!
Great cache - well done.

Note: ith Adacache navigating and Suzzie at the wheel we really were a formidable pair of out of town cachers!!!! After a couple of circles we parked the car nearby the park and made our way on foot to grab the caches in this park. It would have been a laugh to be a fly on the way with the 2 of us caching together. As we approached the cache site, Darren rattled off the distance in Metric, Suzzie in imperial … both of us stopping to look in stunned disbelief at each other … LOL! They measurements hardly compare and it caused lots of laughter and friendly arguments as to whose system was the most accurate!!!! This hide was so neat … we had been searching for only a few mins before this neat cammo was suddenly sighted. Great hide! Now onto the next one in the park … did anyone waypoint the car? LOL!

Third of fifty cache finds for the day, on my fly in fly out visit. I found the cache at 10:45. This was an interesting place; I love the plant life up here in Queensland. I loved the camo job on this cache; this is the best one off these I have seen. Thanks Winaap for the cache.
Hmmm this looks interesting. We sort of hid this a little more to make it slightly less obvious. Hope you don't mind wingaap. Left pretty globe and sticky tape, took viewer.
Found 10am with geonanna. Have to love the creativity of Wingaap! No trouble finding this one. TNLN TFTC
They just keep getting more cunning. Lovely area and nice homes to look out. An enjoyable caching experience. Thanks wingaap
What fun, found cache on second attempt. Took sharpner, left folding binoculars and glow in the dark earrings.

I had tried to explain to the geokids about the Wingaap Ways .How he builds the cache to blend in to its surroundings.Now they know .The big problem they want to try and out do Wingers cache tricks .Er um I dont think so . Put in Wandering Parrot head Number 2 .Go Luck Go

Second of thirteen finds on my last night in Brisbane. The second of the Banks Reserve twofer. Given the problems I had at "Off Track" I was hoping for a quick find here. I drove around to the Banks Street entrance and hoofed it in. I spent about 15 minutes looking in the obvious places, then settled down to read the logs. The Garner Family found it when they "weren't looking for it", and Osluxa (then muggles) found it purely by accident. Hmmmmm! I then knew I was looking for something sneaky. I found it at 1850--another wingaap triumph of camouflage! In retrospect, I think it might have been a little easier to find in daylight. Thanks to wingaap for the cache.

Oh yeah! This is a nice spot alright. We've never been here before (I think) and thought it was just great. It has been raining over the last few days & the dampness in the area made it nice and cool.
We were poking around the area looking for the cache when our 8-year old called out very casually "found it"; the strange part was that he wasn't even looking for it.
A very clever hide Mr wingaap!

What a surprise (Im convinced my boy has a built in GPS)
I had never heard of Geocaching until My 6 year old completly by chance stumbled upon this very well hidden Cache
What a fabulous idea (for all the family)
I've done some research now and the boys and I are keen to get or 1st GPS and go tresure hunting ASAP.

Brilliant, just brilliant despite the fact it took me 15 minutes to find it the number of people i saw wandering past it with no clue whatso ever was incredible! thank you
Another 'classic' cache hide. A superbly executed and entertaining cache for those of us who are wise to the ways of the Wingaap
I suspect the research and development funding for the Wingaap cache labs has been increased though, judging by the ever more elaborate cache containers

On our way to the Gold Coast for the weekend so thought we would try and be FTF. Not to be. Came in above the track and seached and seached. Went out on to the track we probably should have been on and regrouped but still nothing. Decided we had spent enough time so moved out.
Woohoo... our first of two first-to-finds this morning.
This one was found very quickly - quite a contrast to the other new release in the immediate area.
Wingaap has made a nice job of this little hide. Cleverly done.
We had no swaps with us today so we took nothing.
Thanks for the cache.

I parked up on the top of the hill for this one, thanks to the Navigational software for my new PDA. This was my first use of the PDA to get me to a cache and it worked pretty well. Found the cache fairly easily about 10.15am I think and found we were hot on the heals of the HawMorFords again.

An easy find this time, although it is still a very clever hide. Steve even managed to find this one without the help of his 5 year old Geodaughter . TNLN SL. TFTC.
22:24hrs The co-ords were a little out and it appeared I came in on a different track to the intended one, a bit of scratching around where others had been revealed nothing. I took a step back and used the led to uncover what I seeked. TFTC. Another good hide.
