Looks like the whole kit and caboodle has gone walkabout. Even the safety tether has been removed.
Searched all around but could not find any sign of the sistema box.
This cache will eventually be archived.
Six and a half years wasn't a bad run though for the cache, including two major floods which took the original container.
Sorry to see that it looks like a Geocoin has gone missing too
Thanks to all those Cachers that have come by this way and stopped for a visit.
I hope you enjoyed the location. Dad would have been pleased.

Wow that sleeping lizard is still there 7 days later on the stump but we did disturb him. Thought he wasn't real initially. Bit tricky as GPS was going crazy and tricked us for a while but we eventually found the cache. Can't believe a flood came through this area as so dry at the moment. TFTC. SL
Quick find today with us3scouts after attending the Scout Nite Hike at the Airfield at Clifton. TFTC ByronBabe.
Found with seirra1 on our way home from Nighthawk ( scout hike ) at Clifton. Found a sleeping lizard on the stump but didn't disturb him. Found the cache and signed the log. Thanks for the cache. ☺
Found the cache however did not leave anything other than my name in the log book with Mrs1977! Tftc!!!
Thanks to people like your dad there are many little parks that are maintained with good facilities 
On our way to Stanthorpe for an Event today.

Happy New Year to all Geocachers out there. The log book has been replaced so the cache is now ready for more cachers to find. Happy hunting.
We were heading back from the Darling Downs Zoo and decided on a bit of a stop to stretch the legs.
Blake (now 3 and a half) was playing on the playground equipment for a bit but we soon decided that a hunt for a cache would be more interesting. We set off through the grass and soon found a likely spot. It certainly is much more exciting for a toddler when we find a container like this with some items to swap. (try explaining a nano to a toddler) We swapped an items and were on our way.
Thanks for the cache ByronBabe. Cheers!!

Stopped by to check on cache after location had received some serious cleaning up. Cache all good. Found TB Lena, so added her to my collection to move along shortly.
No. 200 in Oz! Thanks Mel for your help!!!! Now our little friend Lena (see TB) is finally on tour!!
Found with Tassiegirl13.
We were out this way for a caching weekend and this was next on our list.
A quick find and a good excuse to stop while passing through the area.

Today we are heading from Brisbane to Toowoomba, finding caches along the way.
As it was Sunday the traffic was quiet light, which made pulling over with the caravan far easier.
We enjoyed the many stops we made.
Thanks for placing this cache ByronBabe

Taking the scenic route home from Glen Rock, bulldozer72 and I pulled over here to use the facilities and find the cache . Loved the surroundings it was in, which reminded me of childhood haunts and magical stories. Not sure what the nearby reclaimed area was, though. TFTC, ByronBabe. =^.^=

TFTC, ByronBabe. =^.^=Enjoying the scenic route on the way home today, we thought it was a good opportunity to do some caching - especially as its our 1yr anniversary of our first find [^]
This was the last stop before doing the final stretch homewards - was a beautifully presented park with very neat clean facilities, and an excellent playground for the kids.
Thanks for making us stop here and enjoy an area we would normally drive straight past!

Taking the long way home after a climb in the nearby mountains. A nice little park with great facilities to use. Nice quick find and log signed.
Thanks for showing us the great little place to stop and take a break. TFTC

The tree cover threw of the GPS a bit as we were searching for this one, but after some circling, the correct place was found and the log retrieved and signed.
On our way home from camping at Murphy's Creek, we dropped by this park. My son and I found the cache easily. We took two TB's and put one in there. TFTC!
Found today in company with Ozdog and Muff 1 Team. Out on a bit of raid in the area for a few hours. What a great day for Geocaching. 1st one for the day. Thank you ByronBabe for setting this cache. SL TFTC
Took my muggle friend for a taste of gc-ing on a trip into Gatton from Helidon. Nice easy find in a great location. Lovely gesture in memory of your Dad ByronBabe. TFTC
Stopped by to collect a TB and to drop off one I have had for too long. Cache in good condition.
Visiting Gatton for a horse show and decided to combine some caches. I remember this park from my weekly trips to toowoomba before the bypass. We dropped a TB. TFTC
Found it ... And thanks for giving us an excuse to stop at a park that I've never given a passing thought to when I've driven past it hundreds of tones ... It really is a beautiful spot. TFTC.
This is a nice park for a stop and rest after a hot drive in the old car run. TFTH
Nice area to stop off on the drive today. Cache found, log signed and returned. TFTC
What a nice park to stop and have break from the highway,
The cache was easily found and we were soon on our way
thanks for the cache ByronBabe

Pulled up here to let the GeoPuppies have a drink and a stretch.. Happy to find a cache here.. Found nice n dry.. TFTC
Found it. Busy on my way out so came back later. Still busy but waited and it cleared. Hoped this cache would be a bit larger to hold the trackable I have, it's time he moved on. Left a couple stickers for geokids. TFTC
Decided this would be the last one for the day, there were a few grey nomads around, but I was glad that the hide gave me plenty of cover.
Nice spot, thanks ByronBabe. Took TB.
