Tree of Horns Mount Tamborine, Queensland, Australia
By saintsmadhouse on 29-Mar-13. Waypoint GC48JHA

The cache is gone again. As the main reason for the cache is gone I wont replace this one. The park is amazing and it would be lovely for someone to place one here somewhere in the future

Strangely we found two toy cars but not a hide today. Thanks anyway

Looked for 2 hours, read all the logs, followed the hint and GPS. Really don’t want to be beaten on this. Will pop back tomorrow

Didn’t find this one.

Did not find

DNF

Well we made this harder than we needed too.
But thats the way we cache.
Amazing tree we parked near that Cache not over there. Headed off. Soon seen scratching our heads but i saw something that looks out of place. Just a glimpse. Yep cache found. Just about to give up.

TFTC

Was very close to calling it another dnf but eventually found something that matched the hint and rainforest cookie made the find. Id had a dnf here many ears ago so glad I could convert this one to a yellow smiley face

This one eluded us as our gps did a dance and couldn’t find the way

Initially looked in the wrong section as that was where my GPS was pointing, though it was having trouble settling here. Mr. DisSister turned to look for another area to check and spotted a flash of colour, thankfully, so it turned out to be a quicker find than we were anticipating. Thanks SaintsMadHouse

Wowwwwww. That took me 30 mins!! I parked up and looked where I thought it was according to clue but couldn't see it. Then read past activities and heard about the tree. Went searching for that which took me ages as went in wrong direction. Excellent tree but no cache. Read more activities and the change of coordinates so went back to start and found it easily.

Parked on the path side of carpark. Tough one for a newbie (**me**), TFTC saintsmadhouse, Tip: if you're having trouble it pays to just briefly sit down in the driver's seat and ponder the clues.

Found 9/04/2023

Were looking in all the wrong places but GRuB1204 finally made the find. TFTC!

Was not expecting the mountain to be so busy today as it was a very overcast Good Friday. This park had several families enjoying the facilities. Took us awhile to find but luckily we did eventually after looking in far too many places. TFTC.

I pulled up right a GZ and made a quick find. Thanks for the fun SaintsMadHouse

A fun weekend away with Davidwazza! TFTC!

This weekend, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), baby Cottontail and I had planned to spend a night in Tamborine Mountain. On Friday, we walked Palm Grove, The Knoll National Park, had a browse up-down Gallery Walk, and visited a winery. On Saturday, we participated in the local parkrun followed by a walk to Witches Falls Lookout. Overall, we had a terrific trip with great accommodation and excellent hospitality, so a return visit in the future is likely.

Today, upon arriving at Palm Grove, we targeted the [Palm Grove](https://coord.info/GC58GDA) Intercache and used that to walk a complete circuit of the area. We must have been lucky with the weather as it only started to rain after we returned back to the car. After having lunch at Gallery Walk, we scoped out our accommodation and while baby Cottontail had a nap, I visited a few geocaches. The afternoon was then spent visiting Witches Falls Winery (recommended!) followed by a walk in Knoll National Park to Cameron Falls Lookout. The day concluded with a fantastic pizza dinner and beer.

This cache took us far too long to find. After trying to search around the coordinates, I was then using old logs and hints, as well as past photos to guide me, and this took me around the gardens thinking the coordinates may have been out. I was close to DNF-ing this cache, and eventually, one last search located the cache. As it turned out, the coordinates were good, but just well hidden. The clue was also correct, but the feature was not really a feature (if that makes sense). The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks SaintsMadHouse for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found this afternoon with BCCS. Love these areas that we wouldn’t of discovered without our love for geocaching ️

A tucked-away expansive park with some majestic trees.

Did a few laps of the area before looking at the clue. The clue made me do a few more laps looking at a few rocks before spotting something that made more sense.

TFTC!

Special bonus on this one. There was an owl of some sort sat on one of the treated pine posts, supervising the comings and goings of visitors to the park, and especially those looking for this cache.

Tried to get a photo without getting too close and disturbing him, but I had better luck with the cache than the photo.

Thanks for bringing me here, this really made my day.

A stop ont Tamborine today, it has been a while since last.

Find number 28347 for me.
Thank you saintsmadhouse for hiding this geocache.

Easy find came with my dad to show him what it’s all about as he didn’t understand it and thought they would always be taken. Glad to find this cache after it went missing the first time.

Great little cache, thanks!

Took a bit of hunting as GPS had us moving around but we got there. TFTC. The tree is amazingly beautiful.

Second cache for the day. Another one found by 7yo and 4yo geokids. Great spot. Depending where you park your car, you can look less conspicuous. TYFC

Found while visiting Herbz. We are taking an early morning stroll to the coffee shop and passed this one. Last time it was missing but not today. TFTC

Wandering past with goldielover and the dogs I checked to see if the cache had been replaced. Luckily it had and we now have a smile. Lovely little park here.
TFTC

Nice one had us hunting for a bit under the wrong tree
TFTC

Replaced the cache today. Please be stealthy when hunting

One of 27 found today. I was on a maintenance run with SaintsMadHouse as they had a few to check up on. Happy to help and make sure they could be found and see what needed to be checked.

Had to replace and was no where near the Tree of Horns.

Could not find at all, had a good look all around but nothing

Unable to locate the cache today!

Second time coming here didn’t find it.

Nothing spotted here today.
Tfth

Love the tree but yes think of the tree as a spiritual protector rather than GZ

A quick find - less so the stag horns. Neither of us could spot them!!! TFTC

Got distracted looking at the massive tree with all the stag horns in it. What a glorious tree. Now back to the caching part, found it once I enlisted my gps. Co-ords spot on.
Tftc

Like a moron looking for a corner in a round room, I wandered around hoping my phone could decide on a quality of coordinate. Accidentally found it then loads of people turned up

Managed to overcome the ’bum steer’ of looking for a tree with lots of stag horns. Ended up being a quick find. Beautiful park here. Tftc.

Took a bit of finding but eventually got there. Almost gave up.
TFTC. Lovely park.

What a nice spot, thankyou for bringing us here. TFTC

Caching has never really been about the numbers. I drive generally over a thousand km's a week (some for work, some to explore, some for the kids, and some just because I have to) so there's always a cache or two to break up the drive. Having said that, I also enjoy numbers, fulfilling challenges, and quirky statistics. It's for this reason, I'm going to aim to fill my dates found and dates hidden this year, and a few other challenges in the local area.

Needed a cache today to fill a calendar gap and we ended up on the mountain for eat local week. Started with wine tasting (at 10:00 AM ) before back to Beaudesert for a food truck festival and then finished in Harrisville for dinner with the camels. Ended up finding six for the day, this one was the second.

Pulled up in the parking spot and before we had even alighted from the car we spotted the cache. Unfortunately left out in the open however, fortunately was untouched and still ok. Signed the log, made sure it was all clean and sealed and re-hid it so it's actually hidden and hopefully safe for the next finder.

Thanks for the cache **SaintsMadHouse**

Good hide, took my bike for a ride and thought I should hunt some geocache

Good little hide... Ked

Tftc

Wonderful area to explore great placement and interesting road. Thanks saintsmadhouse

Cool hide nice quick one thanks for the cache

Nice little park thanks

Ltf

Took a while, eventually spotted. TFTC l l

TFTC - found and all in good condition

Little work to find, was fun

Nice little park and spot to explore TFTC

Spent ages looking for this one. Gardens look newly maintained so possibly moved?

Couldn’t find this one. The park has just had major maintenance done to it so wondering if it’s been moved. Spent a long time looking. The gps was all over the place too.

Wow! What a lovely park. Good find. TFTC

We took a little time to find this one...found it

Whoa I hadn’t finished reading the description before geodad had it in hand. Cachey senses are high today. Tftc

Quick find using the clue intersting tree, thanks for another cache

Took a bit but we found it! Was a few people around so we had to be sneaky. TFTC

All is good here now

No where to be seen

Searched for about 5 minutes, but couldn't find it.

Out for a drive around the northern end of the GC to get some caches. Had a good look but no prize. Extended search area and followed hint but still no go.

Up here for annual plant a tree day. TFTC

Found!

Day 24 of our drive from Bright in Victoria to Brisbane, Queensland. It can be rather boring, so we cache as we go. We camped are currently camped in the showgrounds at Canungra in preparedness of this afternoon's event.

Where are the horns? Found the cache, we found some prickly flower heads in the bladey grasses, but no stag horns.

thanks SaintsMadHouse

new logbook for this one today

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 58.357 E 153° 12.248

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 58.348 E 153° 12.249

Distance from original: 55.0 feet or 16.8 meters.

updated thanks to a finder alerting me.

Quick to find once we checked out the park

Great hint

Tftc. Tried that last christmas with no luck. New try (and find) with good information from previous logs. If someone would ask from me, the correct coordinates would be S27 58.348 E153 12.249.

Nice little hide tftf

TFTC

Coords off for this one, but reading previous activity and hint helped, TFTC!

Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific. On my way down from Tamborine Mountain after attending an event and I stopped and found as many caches as possible on my drive. Coords are 20m out. Look for the rock wall garden next to the carpark.

Very conveniently located next to the parking! Lovely park. Tftc

Lucky we read the logs as it was 20 metres from coordinates.

Shame for all the rubbish

Stag horns? Didn't see any deer, or big trees with horns, but found the cache. TFTC

I'm afraid we didn't find the tree, or all the other features of the park you mention. I'm afraid sometimes we get into the caching mode and we do miss a few other things. Anyway, we each got a smilie here so we're happy. Yaaayyy . TFTC .

Found with Roostaman while visiting the area.
Thanks for the cache.

**# 21275** Found on our 2018 mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond.
Another perfect Autumn day for a trip up to Mt Tamborine while staying at Canungra.
Lots more muggles around today and a few more good safe hides.
I found this 20m away from my GZ at the co-ords S .346 E .250
Thanks for the cache SaintsMadHouse,
***Roostaman***

Found on a quick trip to the Gold Coast in preparation to setting our daughter up for studying up here in 2018. I think there will be many trips up here over the coming years. Thanks for the cache, we enjoyed all that we found.

Geohubby not onto this one. Took longer than it should have but found immediately after I checked where he’d already checked!! TFTG Saintsmadhouse

Easy find with Earthlight
Cache and contents all good
Tftc

Caching around Mt Tambourine on my last day in sunnny Qld .
Found with The X-Trailers.
TFTC

Thanks thought this was going to be beside staghorns

Went up the mountain for lunch with a friend today & we decided to find a few caches at the same time. Headed to the wrong rock wall to start with but got there in the end. We found two Caches at this co-ordinate as well, signed both logs just in case. I would like to find out the story of the second one. We had a great day.

Wind was a little gusty here this morning i I was concerned about leaving my car parked under the trees. Then the GPS took me for a wonder down into the park. Being concerned for the car i read the hint quickly an soon headed back to get out of there before I heard any cracking from above

Tftc

Out with friends- tftc

Found it! Actually found 2 caches ...side by side ....geojenni has eyes for finding things ... and sending roger ramjet to retrieve...

Finally found two caches for this site (one sistema and anpther a long black one). I'm unsure why there's two but I have added a pic of both. Beautiful park but coordinates off by 20+ metres

Last time I visited this spot, it was heaving with muggles. Today I was the only person around and could make a quick find. TFTC

It is sad to see that people would steal from a public park, the things that people do for money. Our GPS was a bit out on this one today but after following the clue the cache was soon found, right where the car was parked.

This is one of those parks that you'd just drive by if it wasn't for Geocaching. An interesting story here for sure. Thanks..

After speaking with the CO, this one has been replaced....hopefully where it's meant to be SMH gorjuz location. TFTC. Completely understand the title

Message to CO: you may want to check on the location of this cache once again as we could not locate the container or logbook, but uncovered your adorable Care Bear pathtag laying in the dirt of the tree we presume is where the cache once was...Maybe another cache casualty to the recent rains and floods. We've kept and logged the coin. Bummed we couldn't convert this one into a smiley though. Sneaky Squirrels

A nice easy one, nice park to stretch the legs. TFTC
