I'm trying to get a cache a day for a month. This was a nice easy one in a beautiful spot which I never realised was here. Peaceful park, no-one about apart from a couple of kite-surfers packing up their gear.

After a magic week's holiday in Noosaville, we stopped for one last cache on the way home. Having never visited this spot before, we enjoyed the serene view of the lake.

This cache adds to our total of 2031 smilies, thanks fat_chook for showing us this spot.

I like the name - makes for a more interesting find when you have an interesting name. And I didn't realise that's how weyba was pronounced, so educational as well! Red Face
Some kite surfers just packing up but otherwise a quiet spot for muggles.
Found gz quickly and thanks to the hint located the container equally speedily.
Sat down on the grass in the shade nearby to examine the contents. Lots in there.
Took Nemo & Wall-E dominoes, left Buzz domino & koala keyring.

After finding the last cache successfully, we decided to head on down to this cache. Upon arrival, we noticed there were a few muggles. After using our tips and tricks, we located the cache secretly. Loved the area, signed the log and found with LoneLobster. TFTC!
 
07-Jul-15
We had some struggles getting to this cache as their were muggles sitting just next to it, we waited for them to look away and quickly snatched and ran to the car. Signed the log and then put it back, found it with CanyoneroCrew! TFTC!
 
05-Jul-15
KingKeyLocksmiths, Marina 25 and I headed out today with a certain challenge in mind (25 unique D/T in a day). This was find #7. It was a lovely spot and we saw no sheep!! TFTC!
 
05-Jul-15
5/7/15 Out for a day with Zardecoh and Marina25 to complete the Unique D/T challenge. GZ was located quickly but the search didn't reveal anything and it didn't match the T rating. So we widened the search. Still nothing. As we were on a tight schedule I checked the clue and went back to the original search point and bingo there it was. A reasonably quick find thanks to a helpful clue. TFTC and our 7th find for the challenge.

Found this one fairly quickly nice spot to relax TFTC

We were in Noosa today and needed a cache but the weather wasn't playing fair. The rain had just stopped as we approached GZ and as we parked the car we saw the only other people out braving the weather were walking very near our final destination and looking down at a phone. I asked if they were geocaching and as they were we joined forces and soon had the cache in hand. Smile After signing the log we had a chat. It was nice to meet CDAH55 and erinjayne01. This area would be lovely to explore when the sun was out. Thanks for bringing us here and for placing the cache fat chook. Very Happy
 
14-Jun-15
Found t with Seirra1, Us 3 Scouts and erinjayne01.
This is a lovely area. It was heavily overcast today. I would imagine that this park would look so much better in full sunlight.
I just love the parks that have lots of paperbarks.
Thanks for bringing me to this park fat chook.
TFTC.

Beautiful river. Met some lovely people whilst finding this cache. So good to get out and about.
 
13-Jun-15
Up at Noosa today shopping and we needed a cache for the grid. When we approached GZ we saw others acting in a suspicious manner. Us3scouts made the inquiry as to wether they were indeed cachers. Yes they were! Cache was soon located and log shared then after a bit of a yarn we were back on the road. TFTC fat chook.

***Caution: Bees have made a home quite close to the geocaches hide***

#134

After competing in the first race of the Sunshine Coast Race series at Noosa Springs, I decided that i may as well track down some caches whilst i was up this way. Today wasn't the best day to attempt any of the caches around Hastings Street, after doing a few laps of the National Park carpark and the carpark at the spit, I decided to give these caches a miss and make my way home, whilst picking up a few geocaches along the way.

After having a quick lunch in the carpark by the lake, i made my way to the GZ. From reading the description and the clue, i had a fairly good idea about where the cache would be hidden. However after a short search, i came up empty handed. I then returned to the garmin and re read the description and associated logs. Which provided me with no extra clue. After poking and prodding at a spot, a swarm of bees came at me and attacked. Quite obviously i bolted, dropping my garmin in the process. I am actually allergic to bees, so i was pretty concerned about this situation. Unluckily one little bee was to quick for me and ended up being successful in its attack and i was stung. After icing my wound, and waiting out the swarm i scoped out the GZ from the car, and eyed a potential spot. I then snuck in collected the garmin and grabbed the cache. I Signed the log and returned it to its sneaky spot. TFTC Smile

It was just about supper time and I had to head back towards Buderim from Noosa and thought... 'Where could I take a break... The same place as alway, at a GZ'.

I don't think I could have chosen a better place to do so. It was just before sunset and the area was silent and cool. I quickly found the cache and sat against a tree whilst looking over the cache. Then once done, I just sat there. It was so refreshing and calm. I really didn't want it to end and have to go back to the hustle and bustle of work. I just wanted to sit there and let time pass...

I have attached a picture I took that represents my experience to a tee.

Thanks for this moment 'fat chook'. I'll be back to just soak in the calm again soon!

Hey Fat_Chook, I found your cache.. Lol

Didn't take me too long and in memory of the cache I painted a fingernail fluro pink with the nail polish in the container.

Went to take a photo of the lake and got scared by a sunbather.. lol

Visiting from UK. Staying at Noosa river camp site with my brother who came to Oz about 40 years ago. Seeing the sights and picking up a few caches. On the way back from Maroochydore and stopped of to pick this up. A bit windy on the lake edge. Quick fond. TFTC

Out for a morning geocycle around the lake and this would be the last part of the western journey. A great spot, and unlikely would have called in here without the cache. Might come back with the kayak sometime. Now unfortunately I could not find the trail back through Noosa Nat Park and ended up riding back south along the motorway. My open cycle maps show a track running through the middle of the park, now sure how I would have missed the entry point. Cool
