A Wee Tipple Aspley, Queensland, Australia
By NyletaM on 30-Aug-11. Waypoint GC338F4

I'm going to archive, this cache has had a number of moves and disappearances, so I think it's time. Thanks to all who came and found it.

A check of the cache today revealed it has nipped out for a wee dram of its own. I'll have to decide if its worth replacing this one again.

No luck here for us.

No luck here today for Stairman1 and I. Too many choices and too little time left. TFTH.

Could not find this one today will have to try again

I always look forward with trepidation to trying a cache by the girls. This one did not disappoint. In fact it was a joint effort with one of us finding something and the other seeing why it should not be discarded. Wise to make this a premium member cache. We could have wasted a lot of time here and you will see how when you get here. But it turned out there was an "obvious" solution. Well done Nyleta and thanks.

Definitely very wee! Very cool TFTC

1420 - Found the cache in good condition at 7.39pm after a brief meeting just down the road. Found it without any drama in the logical place. It is certainly a lot easier than it used to be. Thanks for the cache, our first in a couple of weeks.

It was late saturday night, when the three cacheteers (Ayepeacee, Nyssaflutterby and i) hatched a last minute plan to go epic night caching. Two of the three cacheteers were 'empowered', and the third, me, was driving.

We stopped in here so i could get this cache while the others went 'shopping'. They quickly informed me my coordinates were wrong and that they had found the cache elsewhere last time, but i was suspicious so after checking some logs i saw it had just been moved since then. I went to where GZ was, and we all began to search seeing as it was in a new place. We were quickly interrupted by the security guard who came over to discuss the matter of the two empowered cacheteers and certain items they were carrying. Ayepeacee: 'sorry, we just came from an engagement party' haha what??? Where do you come up with such things? lol i played along out of lack of choice and told the security guard about the 'engagement party' ..despite being in a jumper and ug boots.. We said we were leaving promptly and as such i didnt get to find the cache. Ill be back, hopefully with a less colourful tale

I was out with IolantheK looking for dresses for our offspring's wedding in November & we thought we would fit in a couple of caches together on the way home. This was a great find as I have been living in this area for 15 years & had a fair idea where the cache would be so we went to where I thought & I found it. I am still so new at this that I am like a 5 year old when I find a treasure cache!!!! IolantheK just laughs & laughs. TFTC.

Out and about today with NixOnTrix as we both search for dresses to our offsprings' wedding

As we were in this area we decided to find the nearest cache that I hadn't got and this one was it. NixOnTrix figured she knew where the location for this one was, and turns out she was right As we arrived at GZ she was very pleased, and it didn't take her too long to find the cache either. Not bad for a newcomer TFTC, NyletaM. It's a very cute wee tipple.

Quick find this afternoon. TFTC!

I was already drunk on cache finds today as I rode the pushbike up to the drive-thru
Still, this cache was easy to find and easy to open
After that wee tipple the bike was a bit wobblier

Found this one quite easily. Cool container.

Thanks for the cache NyletaM.

Love the cache! Had sucker in hand pretty quick! TFTC

Saw that the cache had been moved to another position so we decided to give it another go. We arrived at gz and after a quick search found the nifty hide. Tftc NyletaM

Looked a daunting task when I arrived at GZ with all of those things being a potential hiding place. Decided that it had to be one of two types of hide and I picked the wrong one first. Got it in the end after a bit of a search.

Over geocaching in Brisbane from New Zealand.

Enjoying my holiday and the better weather!

Nice quick find at this cache. SL TFTC

1695. Found. TFTC. tnlnsl.

I was not keen to re-visit this one, after feeling very exposed during a previous DNF search. However, on seeing that the CO had relocated it slightly, I cruised past today and grabbed it.

Much better location. Coordinates were spot on. Great container. TFTC NyletaM

After recent comments I'm very unhappy with the location of this cache. I've moved it slightly so it's now out of the offending area and into a spot which shouldn't have the same issues. My apologies to anyone who had a less than enjoyable experience on the hunt for a Wee Tipple.

Just read the previous comments and kicking myself that I hadn't paid closer attention. Geoson saw the cache on Mr Garmin as we drove by, so we pulled in and started the search. As I looked one way, 6yr old geoson said, "I found it!" I turned to see him holding a used (and thankfully capped) syringe. Needless to say my heart almost stopped as I took it off him and packed both geosons into the car. Having seen various disguised caches recently, to geoson it was a feasible option. We had a long discussion as we drove off about what it was, the choices people make and to never, never pick one up again. Sorry, won't be coming back to search for this one.

Out and about with Net88 today, this was our first stop. We pulled into the driveway and then started the search. It didn't help that we both had coords reading about 10 metres away from each other. After the finding of a syringe we became very wary of where we would be sticking our hands. A quick PAF for a hint and we had the cache in no time. The less looking around here the better.

TFTC NyletaM

My first cache for the day after having some X-rays. We pulled up and both followed our gpsr's to 0m ... We were at least 10m apart. Hmmm. We searched for a while but no luck so once we found a syringe in the garden we decided to paf so we could get it and get out. It ended up being a few inches from where I was! Nyssa found the cache and we signed and rehid. Thanks for the cache.

Parked the car in exactly the right spot to provide some cover for my mid afternoon search. Managed a good look around, but found nothing ( mindful that there was no need to step into garden). The drive through staff, who were out back having a smoke, were eyeing me suspiciously, so I packed it up and will come back another time.

Pete

Have been waiting for its return as it is near by. Chatted to a staff member who was interested to find out why we were in the grounds. Seemed quite happy. Found after a little thought and care. Better half liked the container very much but would have preferred a supply of the genuine article!

Out this morning to do a maintenance run on my caches with Alkzura and the geobubs along for the ride. This was the first stop to replace the AWOL container. All shiny and new again and back in it's original location. Please remember you don't need to go in the garden to find it. Happy hunting!

Got down there tonight and it is indeed gone. I'll get a new container made up and replace it ASAP.

DNF - 2/1/2012 - I parked the car where it could provide some shelter and popped the bonnet so we could look "under the hood" and search in the required area with the vehicle providing shelter from some muggle workers across the car park. After a search of the area and a reading of the logs, we came across something promising after about 10 minutes. Upon closer inspection it was a nano sized cache container, with a log book bag contained inside which took quite some work to remove. When I opened the bag I realised there was no log book or sheet - the bag was empty. This made me think we had found some rubbish - something else that wasn't the cache, so I will send some more detail to NyletaM for confirmation. Thanks for the cache NyletaM, we will be back.

Found with Bedmaker.
It was nice and early when we arrived so we had no trouble finding it.
TFTC

On the way home from the Barefoot Bowls Event, we stopped by for a wee tipple. Hic Hic. Boy it was nice Now on to the next. Log dry. TNLN TFTC Thanks NyletaM

250th find!

Found at 12:54. Was the one cache I did find today.

Forgot to take a photo of the interesting hide though .

TFTC.

I had to pick my sister up from this side of town this morning and decided to give this one another go after DNFing it the first time. Coming early certainly made the search more comfortable, and with a few more logs to read, I was more sure of what I was looking for (although as it turns out, it was pretty much what I'd been looking for last time!). Found without too much trouble this time, happily, then back to family duties. TFTC, NyletaM. =^.^=

After the last NyletaM hide we found this morning, and knowing your style, we had resigned ourselves to the fact that we may again take way too long to find a very small treasure hidden very craftily . Fact is …. i spotted it almost straight away after reading the clues and concentrating on a particular area . Nicely done NyletaM, great to see something a little different . TFTC

Crafty cache indeed! It had me rethinking where it could be a number of times. TFTC!

Here before opening, loved the cache container. Thanks NyletaM

I was here before opening time What a great container. Love it

"A Wee Tipple" indeed . Very nice cache container that I almost dismissed. Turns out the hardest thing about this cache, for me at least, was getting back onto the main road. I even got a park right near GZ. Not an easy thing on a "finish work early and go to the pub" Friday.

Seeing as NyletaM is my usual partner in crime, I figured it was about time I stopped by for a drink and had a bit of a look for this here cache.

Goodness me, the stupid GPS had me all over the place. The bounce was terrible. Luckily, it was a Sunday morning before opening time, and all the good pub-goers were probably still church-goers, so I wasn't attracting any undue attention. With a bit of a prod, I found what I was looking for, along with a random pair of shoes :-/ Anyway, TFTC, and we'll have to plan another civilised afternoon at the pub another day!

Found with VWNuts. Nice quick find. Clever container. TFTC

Had a good idea of what we'd be looking for, so had a quick find this morning with Nearra
TFTC

I'd done some research on this one to familiarise myself with the area and what time would be best to takle it.
So nice and early on a Sunday we easily got a part within 2 meters and had the cache found quickly.
TFTC.

Muggle central today.

We arrived well before the sun was over the yard arm but had to wait while the cleaners tidied up the garbage left from last night's patrons - a glass, a macdonalds wrapper and a couple of bottles all made their way to the nearby industrial bins.

We then searched a bit but came up with nothing - and no geo-trails to indicate whaere to go next. So back to the cache notes for some guidance.

Fortunately we had time for one more. How apt.

TFTC nyletaM

Found at 0944 a quick find although when first found I was ready to take it to a bin a second look saved it. Clever container. TFTC MyletaM.

0530 Sunday morning, sun was up, Kaisho53, Bubbly_One and I were up, and we were at GZ. So, time for a wee tipple... Let's face it, it was drinking time somewhere in the world...

Fortunately, we were all sober when we hit GZ and in the mood for a hunt. This cache has some history and a number of DNFs from experienced hunters, we were expecting a lengthy challenge... Add to that the reputation NyletaM is gaining for her sneaky hides, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you may need to take a packed lunch with you... [B)]


You can imagine my surprise then, when within 10 seconds of arrival, Bubbly_One came up with the treasure... What the... I dismissed the container at first and thought "Nah", it's not that. But it was and shortly afterwards, names were in the log... [^]

The cache return was almost thwarted by a muggle parked nearby but, he soon moved on...

Tis a fine cache NyletaM, Thanks.

Rocked up here early this morning with Gunnie69 & Bubbly_One...

Having Tippled on caffiene earlier we where up for the cache...

From previous comments we expected a bit of a search but our newby team member quickly proved to be up to the task.. [^]

After at 1st not accepting her find Gunnie & I soon realised we had been out done by the newcomer...

TNLNSL

Thanks NyletaM for the cache

0530 on a Sunday morning with Gunnie69 and Kaisho53 and we couldn't think of a better way to start the day than with a wee tipple. So off we went in search of cache #1 for the day. On arrival we were alone so headed straight into GZ. I spotted the cache and had it in hand straight away, but it was almost disregarded before it was confirmed that this is what we were looking for.

Log was signed and cache was returned. Timing was perfect as a muggle appeared within seconds of leaving GZ.

A nice hide. Thanks NyletaM!

Whilst in the area, I decided to drop in on this one. I had previously heard of all manner of tales of woe about trying to find it.

I was a little concerned about the muggle factor before arriving. But upon arriving at GZ, my fears were allayed. It was all quiet and no-one was to be seen. I snuck toward GZ and found a candidate almost immediately (hopefully!). Sure enough, it was the well crafted cache. It is in good condition (err.. well the log is! ).

After checking the area again, I swiftly returned the beast to its home. TFTC NyletaM - good work

So, this is what a Premium cache looks like eh? My first premium cache (became a PM last night) - celebrating TWO HUNDRED (200) finds. wowee - a year ago I thought you lot were weird (now I know it, just that I am too). And what better place to be when celebrating? hic! cheers.

OK, NyletaM ... I'm on to you now - the rest of yours will be easy now right? please?

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 9:12am. Jinga knew the way into this cache so that must mean he frequents the nearby establishment too often. It did take a few minutes to track down this different cache. TFTC

Out for a geocycle around the burbs this morning. Way to early for a wee tipple but I certainly have had more than a wee tipple here on a Friday night.

Now back to the cache I looked I walked around , I visited the other side where the wee little ones attned all without any luck. Now this was looking like a serious DNF with the chance of being a double with my last caching outing across the other side of the Pacific also being a rither dry experience of a DNF I was starting to think caching might not be for ruzzelz.

Finally I spied the obvious cache and the occassion surely called for a celebration. Unfortunately the doors were still closed. Looks like I'll need to return again one Friday night.

Found it No. 4117 ... loved the container ... Mrs TR got prickled instead of getting pickled ... TNLN ... TFTC NyletaM

Unbelievable. On the way home from a short trip to Caloundra, I couldn't resist pulling the team in here to have another shot at the cache which had proved so difficult a couple of weeks back. "If we don't find it in five minutes, we're leaving," I said to quell mutinies. Anyway, it took more like five seconds this time around. To add to Engphil's remark below, not only do I think we saw the cache on the first day, I believe it was even the subject of conversation! Yet somehow we just didn't go to the next step. Oh well, at least we've all found peace with it now. Great work and thanks NyletaM!

Found this one with Geo-Son resting in the nearby car. My GPS had me driving in circles fire a while hear, but soon narrowed me down to the location. Great the bottle shop isn't open this early, very little muggle activity.

at 16:14. The cache is fine.

TFTC NyletaM. We had little trouble with this one. Now if only we could make sense of a couple of annoying Puzzle Caches.

My second try at this one. When we arrived there was a muggle nearby, so Loki and I decided to check out the local Bottle shop .

After picking up a bottle of red, I saw a premixed C$%# S*&king Cowboy, but on further looking, it was made with wine [?]. OK maybe I will give that one a mix.

Now with Loki and I fully stocked in the "beverage" department we went back and in less than a minute Loki had her hand on the cache. I am pretty sure that we didn't see that at all last time .

Very glad to have this one done now, Thanks for the cache and the drink

Back again a week after our last failed attempt. Unwanted muggle attention meant we *had* to amuse ourselves for a few minutes and there was a bottle shop right there... stocked up for another long search, we managed to locate the cache almost instantaneously this visit. How did we miss that last time[?] [B)]. Despite the mental trauma I suffered due to this cache, love your hide . Thanks NyletaM

21:20
An interesting hide, with a science twist.
TFTC, NyletaM.
GemJay.

Find #590 at 8:04. No, it's not that hard... now that the attributes don't have me searching in the wrong kind of spot I think one of my searching partners the other day may have even seen the cache but not realised it. I don't know how I missed it. Cute container.. along the lines of what I was expecting, but not quite....

Speaking of attributes.. the spiky plants didn't hurt me at all. Until the attribute was added. For future reference, they don't need to hurt. [B)] TFTC, NyletaM, will be interesting to see how the find/DNF ratio goes on this one.

4/09/11 Find #636

Found this afternoon quite quickly, but was unable to log because I didn't
have the required implement to sign the log. However returned this evening
to complete the find.

And no, I had no prior knowledge of the cache or help in finding from
cache owner, even though I live with her.

Thanks for the cache - nice hide.

Went back and checked on this one after all the DNF's. Whole area has been cleaned up and appears it may have gone as well. Have PM'd owner.

Many thanks for checking fasted 59, however I've been down and checked and our merry band of DNFers have no such excuse. The cache is still there. Happy hunting!

Had fun finding this with the entire family! TFTC

=) found nice and quick today, LOVED the container , great fun TFTC =)

2nd first to dnf this week is a bit disheartening. Spent 20 min or so searching around where the gps was putting us but no luck. Not a difficulty 1 for us will have to return another day.

Just did a drive by and the cache is still in place. My iPhone got me to within a 2m accuracy of the GZ so the coords seem to be good. I'll happily increase the D rating if people think it's warranted.

It's probably just us Nyleta. Like I said, 2nd dnf on an ftf this week so don't go by what we say!

Thanks Loki, but on reflection and another look through the rating guide I am going to make it a 2. I hate to over rate things, but then it's not fair to under rate either. Of course now everyone's going to find it in 10 seconds and make my concerns seem silly.

Come on guys we have some serious caching talent in this area, what's with an FTF lasting this long!

Well, at least I'm in good company in not finding this one. DNF at 08:21 after searching for 5-10 minutes. There was an amount of muggle attention being paid nearby, even at this hour, so I wasn't able to search as well as I'd have liked. I'll be back.

I, too, would like to add my name to the illustrious list of DNFers. The Marble and I searched for about 15 minutes before drawing too much muggle attention, and even the hint was of no assistance. Good luck to the next searcher!

First there was one, then there was three, and then four.

But even after over 30min of 4 pairs of eyes, plus some "hints" from the owner still not luck.

Another day I suppose.

La Kedi and I tried unsuccessfully for about 20 mins in between muggles coming to and from their cars. At one point I thought a muggle was going to join in our search for the little 'bright blue headed lizard' La Kedi told him we were looking for but luckily after a brief pause, he left. You've got yourself a beauty here NyletaM although the penny will surely drop for the rest of us at some point(one can only hope?)

Please note the addition to the description. The cache isn't to be found in the rock wall and you don't need to wander into the garden to reach it. No plants need be sacrificed.

Many thanks to La Kedi for bringing to my attention a caching trail was already appearing.

Came here earlier after working all night. Must be too tired and missed something. Home for a nanna nap and attack it later.

Back down in the afternoon, and still had trouble. Then all of a sudden "Ah I get it", and now I got it. FTF @ 1622.

Great hide, well done.

oh of cause fasted found it
he is the drinker of the family

found with fasted59 and barbbowman

After a long Friday afternoon drive, arrived at GZ around 5pm, unaware FTF had gone and rashly fancying my chances. Did a quick frisk but was soon joined by what you might call "learned friends" of the GC kind. An hour later, I was needed elsewhere but felt better knowing some of Brisbane's best finders had laboured equally unsuccessfully at the site. Had a funny feeling there might be something "Mexican" we were missing, but only time will tell. At least I walked away with a sixpack of Rogers ale with which to drown my sorrows...
Watch out for the spiky plants, folks, and I'm thinking 3 for D until I know better. Great one, NyletaM!

And another dnf . Another attempt with totalube after work and we ran into teamtinda. The three of us searched for a long time before engphil joined us but the daylight soon ran out and still no cache. It's a tough one - we'll be back!!
