Christmas in Caroles Ellen Grove, Queensland, Australia
By Ant24 on 25-Dec-08. Waypoint GC1K3H9

Found as The Houldsworth Clan

Will archive this one and hopefully get a similar one up and running soon.

Dropped in to check on this cache today and it is gone

The area around GZ has been cleaned up extensively in recent times, so I guess it has been removed during this work.

Have decided not replace the cache in this location, but might set a simialrly themed cache in a new location this festive season.

Looks like it might have gone walk about, I'll try and get out there this week to check it out.

Have a good quick look due to the muggles (boys) keep looked at me and I didnt feel comfortable this area. Would be lovely if the owner check if the container still there please. Thanks Ant24.

Watch Listing.

Attempt No.: 3 for today (11:15) but to no avail....

Prodded & pocked - dodged rain showers & searched here & there (with geo-daughter) to no avail....

Nice park but would suggest a bit if caution when in area if muggles are in evidence (evidence of chroming on side of path on way in)...

Will be back another day to try again...

Thanks Ant24 for the challenge (you win this round)....

First find for today after doing the voting thing. I have to say finding caches seems to me far more fun than finding the next government Dropped off cute Blue Bunny TB, this cache seemed ideal for him. TFTC.

First cache for the day!

Excellent idea, might have to return over Christmas...

This park is well hidden ,but the cache was an easy find.

Nice quick one while MissGeosie enjoyed the playground. Took TB. TFTC

An easy find with MissGeosie and Palopinto. There are lots of little trails through here, it's amazing that the cache survives! MissGeosie enjoyed exploring the playground and having a bite to eat before we continued on our way. TFTC Ant24!

Good cache. Heaps of stuff to trade. Placed TB. TFTC

Could not find first try will try again

Found at 0854 with Marg. Marg found this one. Quick find away from muggles. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.

Found the cache... Forgot the pen and could not sign. Left Lumpy to see if he can find Pooh....

Great theme for a cache . TFTC Ant24

Fun find. TNLN.

Cheers!!

Out for the arvo with just the boys and thought this could be hard with all the houses near by but having to kids running around provides alot of cover. Soon had duties done we where off to the next one.

TFTC Following the Christmas Theme - Red & Green Dice In, TB Out

A quick and easy find. TNLNSL, TFTC.

The area was very quiet today, only had one dog bark over near gz but he soon quietened down. Cache all ok, TFTH.

We dropped into this one today but the area was very busy with muggles, will have to leave for another time to try looking.

Found & logged at 10:13

Visited this morning to restock adn replace log book. Have decided not to relocated at this stage will see how it goes, if it looks like muggles have found it again I will move it else where. Until then it is now stocked with Xmas goodies ready for the festive season.

Happy Hunting!!!

After reading Mortified's log I will try and get out to restock and replace the log (maybe even relocate) this cache this week. Until then the cache is still there to be found, but don't expect swaps.

My first cache on the list of 'to-do' for today. Arrived at gz, wandering around in circles thanks to my gps. After 10 mins of settling down and being followed by a couple of chooks of which they were scratching around close to me. Read the earlier post of hoping the chooks don't dig up the cache, so here I am waiting and watching the damn chickens to see if they found anything!! LOL. Okay, stupid chickens don't know how to cache properly and made a mess LOL. Back to the gps and homed in on gz. Was found and log signed. However both bags were unzip-locked and leads me to believe that muggles might have been into it. There was only 2 xmas decorations in the cache and the pages in the log book were all loose. The rest there was nothing inside the container.

Thanks

An easy find, a couple of chooks followed me to the cache and started scratching around as I was leaving. I hope they dont reveal the cache.

Found it.

Heading out to my parent place today, so instead of taking the highway we took the secnic rought so we could pick up some geocaches.

This was our seventh cache found at 12:30pm

Dropped by this morning to swap trackables.

In: TB Out: Coin.

Found it No. 1608 ... lots of barking dogs ... took TB and left Geocoin

Not used to caching in QLD and innocently walked through a spider web 10m away from the nearest tree. Amazing.

Anyway, found the cache, nicely tucked among the back fences, and the park completly muggle free. Just not spider free!

Thanks Ant24.

Found just after 4pm today. The area was full of young muggles despite the continuing rain. Didn't take anything but dropped in Ricky the Cricket TB. TFTC!

Full Wet Tree everywhere.. found with Alchemy2

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 11:30am. We drove round the block about 3 times before finding the entrance to the park and the TomTom was totally confused. This is the first cache that Jinga did the signing in for us. TFTC

Didn't like the look of this place when I left the van. Kinda hard to be discreet as you walk over to GZ. Kept a good look out though and it would be pretty hard to anyone to see you at the cache. It's just the trip there and back that might get the neighbours wondering. TN/LN/SL.

It was early and it looked as though there may have been a bit of a party in the park last night. No Christmas swaps but I am sure it won't be long before the Xmas sales start again. TFTC

Forgot to log this one from a while ago.

Thanks Ant24

It seemed strange to be doing a christmas cache in February. However, it was a nice easy one to bring up our 600 th cache.

Sorry, we had no christmas trinkets to swap.

A quick find on the way home from work.TFTC TNLN Silky Seekers

With only 11 more months till Christmas, I was back in the spirit today
The park was empty and the neighbours were all inside, probably finishing off their Christmas puddings
A nice easy cache find, but a quick one, before anyone did appear

There were muggles everywhere but luckily not where we had to go.

Mrs Steve took the stroll through the sun this afternoon to grab this while Steve kindly kept the air con running in the car ready for her return! Such a gentleman...

The cache was an easy find. Contents dry and in good condition. We made no swaps, but did pick up the TB to keep it moving. Thanks for the cache!
