Sorry to report that only one trackable was found.

Logged one trackable and notified owners of the other two

Obviously Teamtinda has far better ideas than I about hiding caches....so I shall open the area to them

Happy hunting

Wow, only my second time inside the cemetery (both thanks to geocaching) and I certainly had no idea of the impressive views available up here.
Construction is happening across the road and I suspect the guys wondered what the heck I was doing, jumping up and down out of the bush. Resorted to the hint after a few minutes which proved decisive. Problem is, there are some beautiful hiding spots of that kind all around - and only one has the goods.
It strikes me the cache holder is actually getting a bit loose: I'd be thinking about relocating it to one of the several great spots just a couple of metres away. All good inside the cache, though.

The usual rule about a guaranteed DNF came into play today. A well hidden cache and a desperate need to pee meant the mind was not on the job unfortunately. There for next time and a clear mind

With some help though Thanks barbbowman

No luck for us at 3.40pm today. We weren't thinking straight after a rough day. Will try again soon.

Found by the geowife. Tftc

Found on second attempt. Found with barbbowman and bubba89. Bubba89 took Blue Racer TB. No sign of other 2, but then anything could happen here

found a man sitting on a stump
no
not that stump

nice to meet you Pprime (P`)

found with barbbowman and fasted59

Great View! Well Hidden. TN. TFTC

Dropped TB in today. TB is in a race to go South. Love this cache.

A quiet find even with the traffic control man only a few mtrs away. Great viws.

NO luck for us today with this one

Sneaky!
Not the first place we looked, that's for sure!
What a view!
Thanks, wingaap!

GPS a litle out, but found quick enough TFTC

We had to search for a while but then we found it.

After finding thriller not far away i find myself hunting a wingapp cache. The cache was quick to hand anmd duly replaced. However i realised i was getting a little far from the car and decided to head back. it was at this tiem my gpsr decided to go flat so i thought nearby shop fresh batteries and some lunch.
incidently it is a nice view.

=) what better to do than walk through a graveyard after dark on a saturday night, found the cache nice and easy with Angelized , great views TFTC =)

So...what did you do on Saturday night? Oh just took a stroll through a graveyard... nice hide, TFTC

Found it eventually. The photos helped. Did some digging to find. Left a coin. Took the duck to make some room.

at 14:18. Neither of the listed trafficables are in the cache.

TFTC Wingaap. The cache is fine.

Last find for today on our walk around the cemetery. Geohounds had a great time & so did our friends who joined in the hunt.
TFTC

TFTC what a gray view.

14:26
An easy find, and as the name suggests, fantastic views.
Both log books are very full, but managed to sign our name.
TFTC, wingaap.
GemJay.

TFTC Took car, left duck! SL

found this one after looking around for a few minutes, was nicely hidden. I took the icache that was left there yesterday. I will move to a new location soon:) TFTC

TFTC - Lucky for me, geokid was on the ball and spotted this little fella's hiding place. A definite view to die for and a perfect day for caching. Great stuff wingaap.

Our first find for the day. We were stumped for a bit but got it in the end!
Dropped off icache tb (our first ever tb ) to start it's journey

Found about 12.45pm today, but had a bit of a hunt to find it! I guess we had trouble picking up the right co-ordinates, but we got there in the end and were pleased to drop off a small green car who traveled from a nearby cache, and a little gold star and a clip. I took a medal to celebrate the run of success so far that morning (found 2 out of 2, a record for us! ). Used our stamper on the inside cover of one of the log books - as the others have mentioned, a new logbook is needed. TFTC!

This cache is in good condition but the log is chockers, had quite a bit of trouble finding a space to sign.

This was our second attempt at finding this one, today all the stars aligned and the cache was in hand very quickly. No idea why we couldn't find it the first time. TFTC

Found it _ it was uncovered so hopefully it's a bit better concealed now. None of the listed trackables was inside. Both logbooks are full. Took nothing, left a toy car.

Found whilst enjoying some caching around the cemetery.

Should have known it wouldn't be in the obvious spot. Very tricky. Log book is completely full. Had to find a space to log visit.
TFTC

After a DNF at Femur just down the hill - we persisted until it was located.
Thanks Wingaap for what certainly are great views.

Like the previous cacher I almost gave up on this one too, but then I read the log, extended my search area and voilà. Almost stumped me, this one!

TNLN & TFTC

Oh, it's still there alright ... I almost gave up after limiting my search to the 'obvious' stump. A little exploring led me to the right one. Picked up the Toronto 2006 geocoin and will drop it off in a different country fairly soon. TFTC!

Looked everywhere. Not having much luck today, grrr.

Looked all around the stump but no luck this morning.

Dropped off a coin. Welcome to Australia, Toronto!

Grass has been mown and no cache in the obvious hiding spot - may have been muggled?

Found at 14:30 today by team micra after doing a bit of shopping toowong. Never been to the cemetery here before. Some awesome views. After being stumped for a while Sattlepop came up with the goods. Took cam am keyring and left stetchy man. SL. TFTC.

Found by team Micra at 2:30pm. At first we were stumped and looked around the area we suspected. After venturing down had a look around and came up with the cache. Took keyring and left stretchy man. TFTC. SL.

Thanks a lot for cache

Found in the heavy rain and cache all okay but sorry to say no TBs in cache. TFTC

Interesting location ,and we yet have to finish the other caches in the area. Lot of history in here, as young GM62 was wondering and reading some of the inscriptions. A medium search , and we discoverd the cache[^] .I cannot believe how many joggers and people walking there dogs through here.TFTC wingap

Last find of the year? Lovely view. Took a TB. Log book needs renewing. Nice and dry. Thank you!

Found as the rain came down.

Co-ords were a little off. Found after a few minutes.

One of the quick finds for today. No trackables. TFTC

Grabbed this one today whilst caching with Dannza. Rain held off enough for us to sign the log and take in the view. Certainly are some steep grave sites! TNLN TFTC

Find #435 at 13:15 while Palopinto was showing off her fibre art skills at an open day nearby. MissGeosie (with only a tiny bit of coaching) made the grab, her first ever true find! So proud of the little geotoddler! [^]
This is quite a view indeed, glad I could experience it without having to die for it!
Like others before us, we found the coordinates to be a little bit out. Going back through the logs, our coords are much closer to what they were before Wingy moved the cache in March 2008; has the cache migrated back toward its original hide perhaps?
TFTC as always, Wingaap!

Found after a little search. hint helped but there were a couple to choose from!
TNLN! Thanks

My third attemps - Yep found it the coordinate was off - thanks to Alchemy2 for showed me where the container was hidden spot. Took 2 x Geocoins. SL. Thanks wingaap

Dropped in TB that wants to go to Austria.

Found after a bit of a search and seeing an earlier log. Took TB left TB. TFTC

We found this one in July but must have forgotten to log it, dropped back in today to leave geocoin. Lovely View!!

Found with Bedmaker after a bit of a search. TFTC

Adored this one so easy but tricky at the same time. The cemetery gave it the feel of accomplishment and life. TFTC

Found with TassieGirl13, A nice spot but I much prefer seeing it from a living point of view.
TFTC.

Found on a return trip with Learn4Life.

Great walk in the cemetery to take in a few others whilst we were there!!

Cache in good condition.

I love cemeteries and this was a beautiful spot. I enjoyed the walk along the path and took lots of photos. The cache was not where I expected but when I widened my search a little, there it was. Great spot for a hide.

Pretty cool cache, swaped a chinese looking coin for a shell.

unexpected hiding spot, and was spotted by muggles which concluded in fits of laughter at the strange glance directed at us. fun find, and conveniently close to other finds

Took ages to find. Cache is about 3-4m to the south of the platform. Took TB.

Great location, TFTC. Took trackable.

A quick find whilst visiting friends across the way-although it was not where I expected it to be in my first or second searches-maybe my logic differs or it has migrated.

Sent from my mobile device.

I think Blue Gonz and us were busy trying to anti-muffle each other as we zeroed in on this one. Et tu, Blue Gonz. You win this round.

Kaituna05 and me had too look for some time, but after all we found it a little bit in the off.

A slightly scary view... TFTC, kaituna05

Quick find on this cache, and lovely view from the GZ.
Took us some time to put the cache back in place, and some council workers decided it was a good time to take some reading, make a call or two and generally mill about.
Once they cleared the area, cache was back in place.
TFTC.

Nice little spot, but can get a tad busy. Alkzura and I had jogging school girls and council workers to dodge as we searched the GZ, which took a bit longer due to some GPS bounce. With a gap in the traffic we snaffled the cache and got it signed before having to wait for a second break. There is no TB in the cache, so I hope it turns up somewhere else soon. TFTC

Found during a raid on Brisbane with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Steeba.

The GPS had us momentarily in the wrong spot but after increasing our search area we soon had this one in hand. TFTC.

#4378 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba, Big Matt and Farmer Frentzen. As we approached GZ I had visions of a nice city view, then reality and the cache name were realised. After a short search in the dark the cache was in hand.
Thanks

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4175th overall find. This cache was our 9th out of 101 for the day.

Found at about 06:03 AM. What a massive cemetery. We had to search a number of spots before we found this one.

Thanks to wingaap for the cache.

Found with The Rats, Big Matt and Farmer Frentzen as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

After we got the right stump we were in business but before that there was a bit of head scratching. The cemetery must be pretty big as we passed the bottom of it later on.

Dropped off a TB. TFTC!

Dropped off a TB.

A wild windy but sunny day when found. R.I.P. until your next discovery.

Found the cache without too much trouble, well concealed under some leaves

Found it quite easily. Nice view.

Found @ 4:21pm

Wow, my first time caching in what... 7 months. With our parting ranging in age from 86 to 3, and not more than an hour of daylight left, Toowong Cemetery offered a nice cache density and some pleasant walking for our late afternoon run. Just enough hills to work off a bit of lunch's lamb roast.

We parked almost right by this cache but it still took us a while to find it and in the end we needed the clue. The view south from here great, and in the afternoon's golden light it looked just brilliant. Thanks for the cache Wingaap.

Found with Iggy. We walked over from 'Thriller' to catch some very excellent views, especially at night.

It's closer to a small than a micro. We found it with little difficulty.

TNLNSL TFTC

Found cache, was a fun spot to see, though hide was easier than 2 stars and cache is bigger than micro. Pencil needs sharpening (did not have one with us) also the Bad Monkey Business geocoin is missing.

Took a while for the hint to sink in and then there were a lot of potential hiding places to search nearby. Great views of an amazing place. Left Endian 2007 Geocoin (#014) and Bad Monkey Business! and took The Travelling 12 and Woody the GeoAdventurer
TFTC

Yes, what a view! TNLN, TFTC

Found in the evening. TNLN TFTC

#1410 (6/14 on a day of Brisbane caching). Weren't getting far where the GPS seemed to be pointing, so decoded the hint and soon found the cache. Views were indeed great. TFTC.

Great views indeed. This cemetery goes on and on and on....TFTC.

Dropped in a couple of TB's that want to move on.

TFTC & Grettings from France & Paddington !

Found after widening our search area. What a view and perfect day today! Replaced the log book since the old one was filled up. I wonder how many graves there are in the cemetery today[?] Thanks wingaap

A nice cache to start our day! Thanks!

Almost killed me climbing up to the top!

Found after walking past GZ initially. What a fantastic view though! Quite atmospheric with the cemetery in front. TNLNSL TFTC

What a fantastic view - certainly one to die for. The hound, Crackerjac and Grandpa enjoying the quiet company and beaut location. Great hide. TFTC - Crackerjac

this one took us the longest to find, of all the cemetery ones. nice hide!

Found by Mary & David at 1655. And so it is! Quite a steep slope, which is unusual in such places. Would have been good to have coordinates for those heritage-listed memorials. One of Mary's passions is the Victorian symbolism, graveyard architecture and history evident in these places. Dropped off 'The Key to Caching Success!' TB. Our thanks to wingaap.
