Didn't find ,think the flood may have taken this one .

Washed away in the floods

Called in today with geocousins newo2020, searched for 30 minutes and 4 pairs of eyes could not locate this cache, By the debris line at this location the water must have been half a meter above the cache co-ords, so guess it's floated away !

Thought I'd have an easy find with this one, but no such luck. The record-breaking floods around Easter broke the banks right across this park by the look of the flood debris wedged under the picnic table. I think the cache might be gone. But then again maybe it was just time for me to go home. Thanks for the hunt, wishuwell.

Found quiet easily, no wet feet. T.N.L.N T.F.T.C. Cheers, from the RIDGEWOOD MOB.

Once again today we had to wait for a break in the rain. Once at GZ we found it quickly and then back to the car as it was beginning to rain again.

A nice easy find.  A shame that the weather wasn't as nice and easy!TNLNSL TFTC

A nice quick find as we did the rounds of Cooroy. Managed to find the right road in, entering from the back road.
Took the TB. Thanks

Quick find on our way home from a event from Noosa.

Last find on the way home from camping as the kids were getting cranky and the day was getting long and it was time to head for home! A nice rest stop, TNLN, TFTC

I found the cache and took the lucky coins out

Thank you for the Cache,
Hoppetut

Lovely little roadside park. We had a chat to a couple of horse riders going past and after they trotted off we located the cache quickly.

0616 re-logging due to name change

616 When we arrived this cache was out in plain view - suspect bower bird tried to grab it and couldn't lift it. We have hidden it at the co-ords but the hide wouldn't win any awards - the best we could do in the circumstances. TFTC wishuwell

Found it ... took keyring and left Chinese Coins

an old chook visited

Approached GZ from the back entrance and checked out the fall spot on way to cache. Was looking pretty today. Found easily with no muggle activity about. TNLN. TFTC.

took a while to find. Bag is torn a bit. TFTC

geodad who is part of the lost bunch has found this one. tftc wishuwell. took new zealand pen and left sharpener andpacket of butterfly's.

Didn't fall in, i wonder if anyone has come close. Nice spot for a little rest. TFTC

Quick find. There was water in the bag but container was dry. TFTC

Found quickly as the cache was a tad exposed. Covered a little better now. TFTC

Found with Gayle from the Wackys on a weekend visit to the Sunshine Coast - TFTC

Didn't nearly fall in but had lots of fun trying - wasn't keen on the leach that was guarding the cache so Cods had to do the logging for me (oh yeah, forgot about not liking them as well, but at least I can handle spiders!) - TFTC

GPS had me hanging and i mean hanging around the wrong area neally fell in,[XX(] got back up had a walk and gps lead me straight to it [^] T $5 key ring , supa glue L game and shark TFTC
The Olly's

Did a maintenance check on this one. Thanks to Silver Ferns for rescuing this one when we had the torrential rain, found it safe and dry where they moved it to for safe keeping, have now put it back in it's original place.

Easy find in a nice spot. Container in good condition. SL TFTC

I check this cache for you to day and it is gone after the floods last weekend. I can put a replacement there if you want me to.

After 3 days of torrential rain we made our way to this cache to find the whole area had been flooded and the water only just receding. We had decided it was probably a lost cause as the creek banks had been broken and the place had been scoured by the current. We were about to leave when we noticed a plastic bag sitting in the open at the top of the bank - the cache had obviously been dislodged in the flood.
We did a swap wrote in the log and then placed the cache in a tree in the away from the bank where it would not be discovered when the council comes to do a clean up of all the fallen trees and debis that has been deposited at the site. The new co-ords are S26 24.787 E152 55.832.

After a day looking for my reading glasses, I have finally found my eyes and can read cache descriptions, which makes a huge difference if you know what you are looking for . Nice little park just on the main road so headed for what I thought would be the obvious the "Bridge" noticing my shoe laces were undone I bent down only to lose my Glasses (once again) I watched as they fell into the water and sunk to the bottom of the river. I raced down the river bank stripped of my shoes, socks and jeans and wearing my big bonds undies I decided that it looked like I was going swimming. Until the Pirate tested the water for me and we decided to abandon the rescue mission. Oh well after my morning looking for the damn things, I figured that I was just not meant to have them anymore. In the meantime whilst I was paying my last respects to a very expensive pair of reading glasses [xx(], the galley whench was jumping around with glee as she discovered yet another tupperware dish full of 50cent trinkets. Thanks for the Hide it will be very memorable.

Last find on a great weekend in the area....Thanks guys for the chance to check out the local caching fraternity.

A nice quick cache to find.....spent some time searching for the glasses to no avail, sorry guys.

Thanks for the cache.

mm

TNLN

A nice easy find and the kids enjoyed the run around the park. TNLNSL TFTC

This Was A Nice Easy Find And A Well Deserved Rest After A Long Drive. Took 2 x Diecast Cars. Left $5.00 Note Keyring, Koala Keyring & Australian Flag Wristband. SL. TFTC.

Drat the GPSr not knowing about roads that have been closed off! Ah well, should have read the paperwork before we started driving. Found the cache without hassle, but it’s very wet. The contents are still OK, though a little musty and slightly damp. TFTC. =’.’=

Found OK but a little damp. Interesting old bridge nearby. TFTC

This was our 18th cache of Day 2 of our 4 day visit to your sunny state although the sun was now.
Unfortunately we came through here in the dark, at least we were able to retrieve the cache without falling in the water. Moved off to the nearby table to fill out the log and watch the rest of the world speeding past. Will help the geocoin with its travels
Thanks wishuwell

We had to use Mystery Inks secret weapon to obtain this one. I held on to our smallest Ink while she retrieved it without falling into the water.

Out: Puzzle and Battery Holder

In: Scooby Blowout, Bendy Pencil, Car

another nice cache on our expedition north with the happy harries. It is diffently close to the water.

A nice easy find here TFTC.

#36 of 45 finds on the Sunshine Coast in company with The Garner Family and HawMorFords. We found this one at 1915. I was expecting this to be at a football ground. As TGF says, there are some good swaps in these #n caches. It's nice to see someone putting a bit of effort into cache placement, rather than 'just another Eclipse tin with a sheet of paper in it'. [^][^] I made no exchange. Thanks to wishuwell for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Find #35 of 44 for the day in the company of dak's Emu Mob and HawMorFords - found at 19:24.

That creek certainly is close isn't it? We found the cache quite quickly here but were still impressed with how well it was hidden. TFTC.

Nice easy find. Took wooden dog, left battery case. Hope somebody find the battery case useful 'cause I bought a stack load of 'em. TFTC
...eatmorchikin & Stigglepot

Yikes! Nearly fell in the water. As we where signing the cache a guy approached( we didnt even see him approaching) and said " I know whats in that tree".... it was Andy( I think that was his name) from the Cooroy Scouts

We had a bit of a chat about the caches in the area, and then parted ways. It was good to meet a Australian cacher.

TFTC

Well, I dont know how I missed this one last time, as I walked straight up to it today. Found at 1300 hrs. Find number 8 for the day, and number 82 for the trip so far.

Cheers
Bundy

.

Wow what a tranquil park !
2nd find of the day , and a good one at that.
Even though the cacher before me had dried it out it was sopping wet [xx(]!
This cache is packed to the brim with stuff.
I had to organise it so it would all fit in to the lunch container .

TF*

21st of 25 finds for the day. We stopped for afternoon tea in this lovely rest area. The cache was a little damp so we dried it out, put log into a new zip lock bag and the cache in another zip lock bag hopefully so water will not get into it again. TFTC

Found this one - solved the puzzle and moved on to the next cache

TFTC

Nice easy find. Had to beat a hasty retreat before the bugs carried us away.

No swaps tonight, thanks for the cache!

Our 4th of 21 very quiet here today and a nice easy find.

Took plane

Left Car

Easy find at 5:20pm, our last for the day. Found it easily enough. TFTC!

TNLN

A very easy find. Looked around a corner and there it was.

TNLN.

My first ever find and it only took me 2 minutes to find it. I drive past this park every day so it was about time I had a stop and a look around in this park.
Took frisbee Left wooden dog.
Thanks wishuwell

Mr Dosphoenix found this one clinging to its hidey hole. It was uncovered so we tried to cover it up a bit better. Hope it stays there! TNLN TFTC.

Found quickly by geoMum. A lovely spot late in the afternoon. Took nothing, left game. TFTC

#3 for the day. Found this one after a little searching. Cahe was fully exposed but I think it was a result of the recent storms/wind we've had. Covered it up well. Sat on the grass while I read and signed the log. Geobaby was fascinated by the contents but we took nothing and left nothing.

The GPS took us in the back way to the park. Someone has been cutting down all the pine trees beside the road.

Found the cache after checking the location the second time. TNLN. Thanks wishuwell. Well hidden.

2.05pm

A nice quick drive by. Quite a pleasant area down by the creek.

Thanks

Found with mightybent and geowives.

Found by the Geowife after the rest of us had been racing to find it for a few minutes.

L: Catseye

TFTC

Dropped in for a coin swap

Found it (again)
We just cam to grab the coin and leave another coin.

Picked up the TB and put in a geocoin

Found with geonephew, 'Bedmaker'. While he tried to fall in the creek, I walked over to the cache. Sometimes, it just happens your way . On that note, I wouldn't want to have to try to get out of that creek.
Left the 'Y' travel bug and took a keyring with a big plastic grub on it. Thanks for the cache in this plesant little park.

Found with geo-uncle Lat&long junkie. Nice little area that is very plesant to stop at. Took care at GZ as yes I didn't want to fall in the creek.
Took: Frog
Left: Spikey pink ball

This was a nice quick find in a park that you would normally just drive right by. Took pirate, left mini frizby.

d.d.dudes

Took us forever to find we thought too logically and expected it to be near the bank cos of the hint. Had heaps of fun.

Found the cache at 1.30pm. Lovely old the bridge… No swap. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

Found it, took rhino, left pen & hair bands.

Nice area, but too late for lunch and too early for afternoon tea.
TNLNSL. Didn"t get wet. Thanks for another cache wishuwell.

Easy find. Took ball and left dice. Another lovely picnic area. Thanks wishuwell.

After spending 10 or 15 minutes looking for it (we found some fantastic hiding spots for caches) we found this one. Left rhino took nothing.

Found with caughtatwork at 3:35pm. Took Kahlua travel bug. Couldn't resist those puppy dog eyes. Will take him closer to his destination. TFTC.

Found by caughtatwork at 3:35
A cute little drive by cache at this location.
I was a little worried about falling in the water, but sure footing helped keep my feet (and the rest of my body as well I suppose) dry.
There isn't much water flowing through here so I'm glad I didn't end up in it.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks wishuwell.

Found at 15.40hrs. After a scratch around found no problems. Nice park. Came in on the old road.
Took small furry toy and gold cotton (just to make room in the container).
Dropped off TB Kahlua hopefully to start his journey home to Sydney.(Tight fit for now but he is cosy until retrieved)
Grabbed coin

Dropped of a coin, it's time to continue its journey.

A quick drive-by and found without any problems. This was our #700 !!! WooHoo!!

...we sat down and rested and contemplated our achievements ...for about 30 seconds!! ...we jumped up, ran back to the car and headed on to the next!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Easy find. TNLN TFTC

Found Ok

A lovely little spot next to the main road. Bit noisy to sit and relax for a while though. But who cares when there is a cache to be found
I wonder who will be the first to drop a pair of sunnies or a phone into the drink from their top pocket whilst trying to locate the cache Mine were in the car
A couple of bouncy things fell out of my pocket and into the cache so I took a fish out
