One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Three of us looked for a long time. No luck. Any clues?

This cache has gone missing, will try and replace ASAP. Thanks

Checked every tree and both park benches and the play equipment. Its either well hidden or not here. I have heard of the open your eyes section but i even think its way out from there lol

No luck.

Great little park we didn't know existed but no cache

Great little park we didn't know existed but no cache

We looked in every nook and cranny but failed to find. Can some one please check that its still there. Also got too cild and we had to stop.

Tricky fingers.

Mr Gap had a boy look here but it was soon found when I looked there too TFTC

Had a look at the obvious location, then moved on to some other locations, meanwhile, Ms Wig finds it in the first place we looked. I had a mans look apparently

Thanks elstar22

Enjoying this part of the country and collecting caches along the way with tmann421. Thanks to all the COs for making this such a memorable trip.

TFTC

Another good find with Just-Lookin, while slowly heading to Brisbane (the long way) after the MEGA.

Quick find for us here today. SL TFTC

Found it tftc

Tftc

Second attempt and found it! So small! Well done

Very cool very tiny awesome find.

Nice hide

Found it, So tiny! This was our first cache

Tftc

took abit but we found it

Cool.

Took some doing

Nice shady park for the kids with not a bad view either. Cache found safe and dry. Thanks elstar22.

Happy belated birthday, Ella! Drove right up to GZ and found it quickly with the aid of a 'geotool'. Nobody on the playground made for a comfortable find. TFTC, elstar22. =^.^=

Found with GeoCam. This was our first nano! Used to come to this park when I was a kid. TFTC!

Tftc good one

First find, took us awhile.

Wow first find was very tricky!

I didn't find this one the first time. I needed little geokid fingers to help

My son found this one real quick. Soooo tiny!!!!

So small

I was in Toowoomba visiting a friend and while she was busy at work, what better to do than go out and find a few caches, only problem was the GPS was in Melbourne and I was in Toowoomba, so before setting out do my research on Geocaching.com, using the map and satelite and managed to find some of the caches on my travels around town. Thats not the easiest way to do it, but achieved the outcome, next time the GPS comes with me.

This was a nice quick find, tftc

found it easy

Found quickly but not easy the advantage of being tall

Third try lucky, no muggles today. TFTC

Muggles.. Next time..

It's tiny

Not to bad for a first find

FINALLY after our 2nd attempt. Yay

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 32.100 E 151° 57.933

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 32.089 E 151° 57.927

Distance from original: 74.2 feet or 22.6 meters.
Have changed co-ords. Thanks Happy Hunting

We went where the GPS told us that GZ should be, nothing there. We then sent our three sets of eyes in other directions and still nothing. We rechecked the areas each of us had looked, still nothing. Good thing we had the park to our selves. Hubby expanded his search area and came back with a cache 28m's from the listed GZ. The co-ords we found the cache at are S27 32.089 E151 57.927. Not sure if the cache is suffering from cache creep or if there has been an error in the co-ords. SL TFTC

A great Nano hide. Coordinates really quite interesting. Out today with Muff1 who I think has new coordinates to post. SL TNLN TFTC.

Can we please get a check on the cache as I think we found it and it was not there.

This is my second visit to its park. The first was near dusk, so I wasn't too stressed about not finding a nano cache that day. According to GPS ground zero was 15 meters further south than my last visit, and a quick search showed up nothing. On the end I put the GPS away and wandered away from the new GZ. Geo sense kicked in and cache was found. TFTC!

Once GPS had finally settled itself we were able to search GZ. A few ducks and weaves and we had the cache in our hands. Lovely location TFTC

5 adults 5 kids crawled all over the park nothing

Found by geo James .. On our second attempt .. This takes the term micro cache to a whole new level. TFTC !!!

#111!

We had 2 little geokids with us today so they were happy, and having read previous logs there was a pretty good clue, so the find was quick. Geokids loved playing here and we decided that it would be a beautiful area to live - great views across fields and the city of Toowoomba in the background. At night it would be an especially nice view too with all the lights (and more suitable if you don't have kids in tow)!
TFTC today!

Found with IolantheK. We both felt very uncomfortable searching in the play ground.

Visiting Triciac2 for the weekend. We had a couple of hours spare this afternoon, so headed out to grab a few more caches [^] I was very glad to find the playground empty as it's a most uncomfortable place to be seen searching, even for two older women The find proved elusive for a while (I guess that happens as the light fades close to sunset ) but I eventually made the find, and we moved on. TFTC, elstar22.

Glad I had my geofriends with me to avoid any creepy suspicions. Even though no muggles were around. Quick find. Tftc.

After a few visits to avoid being seen we made a quick find. TFTC

Finally loj found it.

Nice easy find while killing time before work tftc

We had a lovely weekend of caching in Toowoomba - and this was one of our finds. We don't usually like searching around children's playgrounds - but as there was nobody in the park we gave it a go. After a fairly quick search we finally spotted the little bugger. TNLNSL TFTC

I had attempted to do a nearby puzzle cache but had a rather large "FAIL".

I decided to go and grab this unfound beastie instead.

I thanked the proverbial gods there was no one in that park when I turned up. I checked one likely area. Nada. Oh dear lord that can only mean it's "somewhere" I didn't really want to look.

I zipped into GZ and after a bit of a hunt, I found the elusive beast. I signed the log quick like and darted out there. Not a place a single male in his 30s should be seen

A nice park nevertheless - even nicer when it has no muggles TFTC elstar22

Luckily. we managed to grab this one rather quickly. Just as we were getting back into the car another car pulled up and out piled a 'swarm' of kids eager to get to the playground. We smiled at the thought of how close that was.

Thanks elstar22

The best way to tackle a playground cache is to bring playground camo....geokids....they had to keep playing til it was found! Actually, once we got the right end it didn't take long. TFTC

Nice little hide in a nice little park. TFTC.

Nice surprisingly quick find before a slide and onto the next cache.

Not found yet. Will have to come back some time

8738 caches found

found this in the shadow of a fog


Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks elstar22 for the hunt today

Sneaky spot. Good thing the geokids where with me so I didn't look too dodgy.

Even though it's school holidays the playground was empty. We took the geomut with us so as to look less conspicuous. After crawling all around we went in for a second look and Mrs Herbz spied it. TFTC.

It took a bit of finding but success at last. Muggles were a real distraction late in the day.

Sneaky little spot. TFTC

BD soon placed his hand on it. TFTC

The last day of a long week-end at Stanthorpe and it is time to head home.
But there are unfound caches along the way.
This may take all day to get home especially if you detour the long way to Brisbane via Toowoomba.
Like many others before me. Caches placed in children's playgrounds make me feel very uncomfortable. If there was 1 child using the equipment I would not have even got out of the car. No one there today, I found it and am glad I do not have to go back.
Thanks for the cache anyway.

Nice small cache. TFTC

I have to agree I do not like caches on children's playground equipment either but as we all say it we still go looking for the smiley cheers to elstar22 for this one.

Arrived here last night but it was raining and decided to come back this morning. Found at 0600. One thing I do not like is caches hidden on childrens play ground equipment. Found after a short search. Signed log YOF as this is what I use on nano logs. I had the coords off S27 32.099 E151 57.928 worked for me. RED end. TFTC.

Very windy day

**FTF**
9.45am.
Second first to find for the day.
After reading the logs with all the DNF's last year when the cache was originally published I did not even bother with it. However this morning I noticed it had recently been republished and figured I'll have a crack. The huge trees in the area seemed to play havoc with the GPS and after half an hour I was still empty handed . Just about to give in I figured I'll have one more look and in about five minutes I was finally rewarded with the prize and a blank log . Apart from a perished rubber seal cache condition is good.
Thanks for the cache elstar22.
