TFTC! A quick park and grab for SkyeMartin12 and I tonight, bit reluctant because of the dogs barking nearby so tried to sign fast!
I couldnt see a stump, so started looking in one area and worked my way along. Cache spotted about 6m from my gz. Nice to find another oldie. Tftc
I drove to this one and realised I had already found it, oops! Thanks for the cache. Cheers
Light up your christmas lifeOut with geopup today collecting some oldies for my Q500 challenge. A quick find here, log signed, all replaced as found. TFTC happyharries# 10153CheersWillis007
happyharries I found your cache Light up your christmas life on 22/3/2024, 3:55pm. This is my find 6479 and find # 14 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
A quick check of the map resulted in finding this oldie, so on the way home from Alyces parents we decided to drop by. By the time we arrived it was dark, however that didnt deter us from having a look.After a quick poke around here and there and the constant sound of neighbouring dogs barking the cache was in hand, glad that didnt take too long or the neighbours would be out the front wondering whats going on, anywho.. Our names were on the log, well, if youd call it that, more like scrap paper.Thanks for bringing us here.#4219 - TFTC
Another great find for the geokids. Thanks for the cache although we didn’t see the stump.
Spotted this one on the map on the way home from Capalaba Parkrun. My chaffuer had already been here so it was up to me to make the find. Nabbed the TB to help it on its merry way. Thanks for the cache

SaintsMadHouse and I have teamed up for some serious Wednesday antics this year. Today we were slightly delayed in our start (thanks 1GiantPanda ) but we had some form of plan to follow at least. Heading here a little round-about via our last cache, we pulled up and headed over to GZ. A bit of a search - we were looking for what the hint suggested and having no success.
Instead we should’ve just followed the spot on coords. Because as it turns out, the stump does not exist any longer. The logbook was quite sad, so we grabbed a nice fresh one from the SaintsMadHouse Supply Vehicle.

I am logging these in random order as I did a few and can’t remember which order we did them in. The day was nice weather for a change and we were not in any real hurry so we kind of just went all around and around and back n forth a bit to grab a few oldies. Replaced some wet logs and a cache as well at one place.
This one is no longer in a stump as the stump has completely rotted away leaving a hole which this sits in under some natural camo

Rom a while for the GPS to settle on t the right spot. Easy find when you look at the hint.
Picked up one of the trackables.

Lovely to visit this oldie on the outskirts of Brisbane. Lots of lovely countryside, but empty today, horse stables nearby.
Thanks happyharries

Our first geocache. Was nice and easy to find. Does require a little maintenance. Very wet inside.
Catboy67 and I are a few minutes early to get our haircut. So what else should we do other than find a cache.
Catboy67 went one way, I the other, he came up with the goods.
Log was very wet.

After attending my appointment this morning, I thought I would go visit my brother at Capalaba but he was not answering his phone, so I then decided to grab a few caches nearby before going home. I had looked at the list of Oldies that I haven't found and saw 2 not far away.
Off I go to this one and parked nearby. Started looking at GZ but no hint that I could see. Had to pretend I was looking for koalas as the neighbours were on their way out. Once they were gone, I started searching in earnest. One tell-tail sign of something hidden spied and the cache was revealed. Unfortunately I didn't have any themed swaps to add so just signed the log and returned as found.
What a great cache and happy to grab this Oldie. Merry Christmas happyharries.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I took a drive to Capalaba to attend the Redlands community celebration lunch event. We managed to grab a few geocaches prior to the pub schnitzel lunch in the area, and then made the drive south to Robina to catch up with family. The afternoon allowed a few local geocaches to be discovered, before returning back to Brisbane after dinner.
This turned out to be a surprise find since we hadn't planned on stopping here. So for some reason, the GPS voodoo gods took us to this cache when I had asked the GPS to take us somewhere else, but not to worry, as this was a nice oldie cache for our first find of the day (with it being one of Queensland's 500 oldest yet active geocaches). This cache took a few minutes in searching, as there didn't appear to be much of the hinted object left? Otherwise, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks happyharries for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

After today’s event, I headed off with no particular plans. It was just a drive around and see what is in the area. Looking at the map, I saw a lab that I still needed to complete, a few trads of interest and then a few older caches as well.
The bush walk was great, it was nice to get out and enjoy the trails on my own and with no one around I really got to enjoy the serenity of the bush. The trads I got were just as I was passing and cleaning up little areas. I was happy with a couple of older caches in the mix and a few newer ones too. Bonus for today was there was no DNF’s.
Thanks to all the CO’s for the caches today, all logs were signed and all were replaced as found.

Out collecting some random caches and this oldie was kind of on the way… last time I attempted this cache the verge across the road was full of muggles… no such issues today…
tftc… no themed swag so TNLNSL…

I was out with a friend after attending the dawn service, and of course we couldn't be in the area without collecting a few smilies. This one was a quick find and sign once we realised the item in the hint had deteriorated somewhat in 15 years. Tftc happyharries!
We had my grade 12 graduation today and before our ceremony I saw the cache quite close to the centre. I told my non geo cacher friends and they were super keen to try and find it. Kyla (right in the photo) volunteered to look through the shrub and found it under 5 minutes. Very proud!
As I drew closer, I was a bit frightened that council road workers would be right on top of GZ. Fortunately, they were far enough away that trees provided enough cover. The log was soon signed and I was on my way. TFTC

Both geograndies are with me today. As geograndson was spending the entire weekend with me, I let Little Miss Attitude decide where we were going. She chose this cache as the two of us had been muggled out here before Christmas. I parked the geomobile and the little ones headed off with my phone. Geograndson located the cache and the little ones rummaged around for something to swap while I signed the log. With everyone happy, the cache was returned to its spot, then we headed off to Lunch.

COs- catching up on a significant logging backlog stretching back a number of years.??
Please note- Logging your cache on the date I had been there, not the day I'm logging. Cheers??
?? Out for my daily cache streak (PG friendly of course!) and popped in here to find this one.
????
(This turned out to be not such a good year for try finding a cache every day in a continuous streak!????????)

Visited today and replaced the old container. Added a new logbook and fresh swag and it's tickety boo here!
Left original logbook underneath the new cache as it's pretty soggy and I didn't want it to make the inside of the replacement wet.
All good now!

Badly in need of a CO check and maintenance. We didn’t have anything with us otherwise we would have assisted. Container is broken and the contents are full of water. We couldn’t sign the log as it was soaked. Tftc.
Like the previous finders stated, the caches in poor condition and the logbook can’t be signed. In need of a CO check, TFTC happyharries!
Had an early xmas trip to Redlands to pick up a few oldies that are lying around. Ducking off the M1 and avoiding the dark side constabulary, was surprised this was a drive by and collect. Found the container easily and even though there wasn't that much rain yesterday, the container had everything floating. Put in the siphon to extract the water and dried the log enough enough to get my initials onto paper. Thanks to all for maintaining this oldie.
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC Happyharries ¥297. #1861 Finds.
Hey geocaching spies today we ventured out to find a geocache and found it! I would not say it was a stump it was in a concrete mound near the fallen silver pole. HAPPY GEOCACHING! TFTC!
This morning Mrs Woodyrothwell and I slept in until 9am. My wife was up late making some sort of present for my son and I had to keep her company and also double-down to look after her share of the wine.
We thought that maybe we should just stay in bed for a bit and then get some coffee but we soon remembered that none of the housework had been completed and we didn’t want the kids skunking out on their jobs hoping we would do it so instead we got up and left for some caches in a hurry.
After a Starbucks pit stop this was our first cache of the day and set a good trend. tftc

What a nice idea for a cache but there are no chrissy lights around at the moment.
No problem spotting this cache. All is dry inside (though the lid has holes).
Thanks for this cache and adding more fun to our morning.

Out this way today hunting the older caches - and for a nice change this one was a simple driveby. And not on a busy road. I like.
Thanks happyharries for entertaining me at this location.

Found with geohubby. We love our Sunday geodates. About to rain so we opted for park and grab variety today. Tftc happyharries. Alls well
This was a quick cache on a quiet street .Got to love early morning caching for this reason alone. By my calculations the children spoken of in this cache would be grown up now... Wonder if they still cache?
Thanks for the cache happyharries.
