Needed to get a few things done in Ipswich, which left with me with some free time to cache ...Also, my geodog Scruffy wanted to do some caching as well Found cache but as I went to retrieve, it came alive with a green ant's nest round it.Only bitten once on knuckle of thumb, so not to bad.All Good .. TFTC ..

Made our way a little ways off track and began the search. it wasnt too long before DisSister made the find. TFTC

A short but pleasant walk along the trail towards GZ before going off the trail for a short distance. Looking about, I decided to check out a couple of options and were pleased to see the cache when we checked out the third option. Nicely crafted. Thanks a muggle no more

Anything with an Old Hag history send a shiver up my spine. No different today, a per usual jumpy GPS and having to think whether barking g would help or hinder my search. Eventually the ca he was located.

Definitely not a need to bark up the treeTFTC

Good find

Set out with my Fiance for our very first ever geocaching adventure . Took us a little bit of time but we managed to find it .
 
20-Mar-24
Today I was in the area seeking a cache with very specific attributes for a challenge that I am working on. I was very close to this one and decided to revisit it. I had been here briefly before about 6 months ago but did not have much time to look that day and couldn't find it. I did go home and read through some logs after that so today I had a better idea of where to look and it didn't take too long to find the cache. Very clever hide a muggle no more!

Don’t bark up the tree at all
Very clever craftsmanship
 
22-Jun-23
After almost giving up on this one we finally found what was ‘out of place’. A GH!
 
22-Jun-23
Fifth find today! Pumpkin and I were headed home when we decided on one last stop.

Can definitely say that we were barking up the wrong tree.. peaceful area, lots of large metal pieces and glass around so be careful!

Things are not as they seem, so look carefully fellow geo seekers. 100% recommend, jump in your geomobiles and check it out when you get a chance.

Don’t be like us and almost give up, keep searching! We were already dirty from seeking trolls and taking strolls in the bush so don’t be afraid to get dirty in this small bush land. TFTC!
 
22-Jun-23
P.S bag has a few holes in it so it might need replacing unfortunately we didn’t have any bags with us. Also had to start a new log due to the other ones being wet. They are legible but we didn’t want to risk tearing them.

Found it ! Phew TFTC

I decided to take advantage of the public holiday today and head out to Ipswich for a spot of caching rather than the usual Monday commute to work. I was after one cache in particular to meet the requirements of a challenge, but of course there were other caches to find, including this one.

Found a place to park in a side street and took a leisurely stroll off to GZ. No muggles around to worry about as I ducked off the path to begin my search. Sadly I failed to notice the GZ location for what it actually was, and instead searched a somewhat similar nearby object before eventually relocating back to the original object and locating the nicely hidden cache. TFTC
 
26-Feb-23
Fun find, little off the path but not too difficult to locate
 
04-Feb-23
On my second attempt searching this area, I have found it! Great hide by the CO.

TFTC.

Maybe I’m not that great of a geocacher haha
I enjoyed looking for it

I was barking up the wrong tree. Surprising find after I thought it might be ur typical sistema in a bush. Loutastic once again the one to make the find. This was find number 6 for today. TFTC.
 
10-Jan-23
Something looked just slightly out of place
 
30-Dec-22
Really awesome cache! Had to widen our search during our recent stay in Ipswich, but then we were able to sign the log.

Tftc a muggle no more. Placed by an old hag.
 
30-Dec-22
It’s raining in Brisbane today, so my caching plans changed…. I thought about driving up the range chasing FTFs… but common sense won out…

I found a nice point of entry from Heritage Drive and was soon at GZ… I had a preconceived idea about what this would be… I was wrong…

A typically bespoke An Old Hag cache… a loss to the game as no longer plays…

Tftc… ??

Awesome and interesting find. Thanks ️

13-Jun-22
Wasn’t barking up the wrong tree, GPS had me barking in the wrong area, and speaking to a muggle home owner, others had the same issue. Approach this cache from Heritage Drive, not Glasgow BLVD like I did first time. Unable to sign due pen not working.
 
11-Jun-22
If my GPS was correct, couldn’t get where I wanted to look, extremely overgrown at the moment, and just recovering from broken arm, so didn’t want to risk tripping
 
04-Jun-22
In the area for an event and some local caches with chamad. We were making our way towards the Ipswich area and stopped in here. I had always enjoyed caches by an old hag, so knew we were in for something different here.
After a lengthy search in all the wrong places, chamad made the call and the cache was found.
Thanks an old hag and a muggle no more for placing and maintaining the cache.
 
04-Jun-22
Out today with Willis007, it was going to be a short day of caching. We had an event and some caches to grab around the Ipswich and Fernvale areas. The plan was to first stop at the event and then work our way back to home via a few fun caches. We did have a fun day, first the event and then it was a drive around Ipswich and Brassall looking at caches.

We got a few good caches and got to chase a few butterflies along the way. A drive across the freeway and we were soon at this cache. We searched around and were looking for something very much different to what we found, lol. The ants had made a nice home in there. I guess we were barking up the wrong tree at first. We signed the log and replaced the cache as found, less the ants and then headed onto the next cache in the area. thanks for the cache and hide, all good with this one.

Today back in the Ipswich area. Nice day to pop out to find a few caches

Finally managed a visit to QLD after 2 years of planning and 6 lockdowns. New LGA's for me and fav caches were the main caches of focus.

This was soon spotted at GC. Nicely done.

Out with Mr CuriousQuest, finding a few caches. Our phones refused to settle here, so our search took in quite a large area. Eventually, I spotted something and went to investigate. Sure enough, it was the cache. With our names added to the log and everything returned as found, we continued on our way. TFTC

All is well here. Thanks to all involved with placing and maintaining this cache.

I was out filling in time while my muggle partner worked nearby. A quick stroll in nature, and then a bit more strolling in circles while the gps settled here. Eventually I had a closer look at something I had passed a few times, and what do you know...a cache! Tftc a muggle no more and an old hag Big Grin

We came upon your cache, a muggle no more. Placed by an old hag, while geocaching around Ipswich with Snickersallan, Entdeckerschildkröte and Patrol14

Red herrings didn't fool RoddyC. His smartphone led him straight to GZ.

I was out at Haigslea this morning taking my birds for a training flight, and I had planned to drop by here on the way back and grab a couple of caches Big Grin
This one strangely took me a little while (about fifteen minutes) before I spotted it, as my GPSr was taking ages to settle, and I was looking in the wrong spot lol Smile
Eventually though I noticed something out of place and upon investigation I discovered that it was hiding the cache container! [^]
The log sheet was extracted and dutifully signed and dated. Then all was replaced as found in readiness for the next geocaching visitor to come and find it for themselves [8d]
Then I was off to see if I could find another nearby cache before calling it a day.
Thanks for the geocache a muggle no more Smile

I think we started OFF 'barking up the wrong tree', or at least approaching from the wrong direction.
Got to within 30 metres & thought something wasn't right here.
That's when I saw the path ... over there! Smile
Back into the Geo-beast & it wasn't long before I was approaching the cache along the easier path.
A quick find as the 'container' stood out from it's surroundings.
The name now has a different meaning for me! Smile

A Whacky Wednesday out on the geocycles with IolantheK today. Some great highs for the day and one major low.

Really barked up the wrong tree here, well with the log anyway. All sorted now ;-P

We approached this one from the wrong direction at first. Only 30m away, but it looked too difficult. A quick back track and we soon found a much more pleasant path Wink

A nice quick find at GZ. Another marvelous creation Smile
