I’m sure Art wouldn’t mind me archiving this cache as he was a practical man. I don’t feel the location is going to work, even if I replaced it.
Thx for alerting me to the problem. I’m interstate for a while so unable to collect the broken container.

Found destroyed a bit away from the pointed location after looking for 20mins. Shame

((This afternoon I enjoyed a great walk around Bellbird Park and Augustine Heights collecting caches. With a bit of time to spare I thought I would come and look for this one again. Last time I spent about 20min looking here. This time it was in the first spot I looked.
Thanks Ms Maddy for the cache. I actually ended up finding 3 guddink caches today. He’s a bit of a legend!

Decided to swing by in the rain with GeoBaby for 20mins. Think we saw where it’s supposed to be but no luck today. Will try again.
Our first day and we have found 11 with this one being a cheeky find after a family dinner.
Forgot to add log was abit wet but still able to sign. Didn't have a bag to put log in. Sorry.
Came to find this cache today but plan was thwarted by plovers. Try when nesting season is finished.
I found a park around the corner and, after a short walk in, made a quick find. Thanks for the cache
It was getting close to lunch time and seeing we didn’t know where we were, we decided to let the caches decide our fate. I once decided to put all my money on 26-Black but I lost it all because I was playing poker at the time. Fate doesn’t always work like the Matrix.
To our surprise there was a shopping centre across the road and our lunch destination was supplied without us asking, even though we asked multiple times.
After finding the cache we watched the locals head in all directions hoping to find the best park. They must have found them because we had to park in the sunshine and sweat it up for the rest of the day. tftc

One of my goals for 2021 is to find more caches in Ipswich, set out this morning to grab a few.
The area around GZ is unfortunately full of litter , picked up an empty bottle not that it made much difference but it is a start
Thank you for hiding this geocache and keeping me entertained Ms Maddy

I think any cacher would be happy to have a cache in their memory... thanks Ms Maddy for sharing this story...
Tftc Ms Maddy, just a quick stop here to collect this cache to fill a hole in our date grid. Lovely tribute to your caching mentor.
I went out for a morning drive before the day warmed up too much. A nice easy find once I managed to find a close enough park. TFTC
Replacement here and ready to be found.
This cache has been relocated once and gone missing twice. Plz cover it properly so it lasts. It won’t be replaced again.

Thanks for the cache, Ms Maddy.

Visiting my Dad in Ipswich and tried to collect a few caches on the way home . At least this one was there unlike many nearby caches.
Interesting facts
Pickling vegetables not only improves their flavor, it can also make them more nutritious and easier to digest
Fermentation can also transform inedible—even poisonous—foods into delicious, healthful ones.
Many cultures have historically fermented foods by burying them underground, producing a rotted, yet edible delicacy.
A common figurative sense for the word pickle is "troublesome situation" About four hundred years ago, modern English borrowed the word pickle, its literal meaning, and this figurative sense from the Dutch, who expressed a predicament with the phrase "in de pekel zitten"—literally, to sit in the salty solution used for preserving meats and vegetables.
Cucumber pickle factories usually ferment cucumbers in large outdoor vats of salt brine. Surprisingly, these vats have no cover, and are wide open to falling bird droppings, insects, and other airborne objects.

A quick find and return here and back to business. Tftc Guddink!Last time we were out this way this area was a paddock of long grass surrounded by barbed wire fences and the large shopping centre across the road was only a few small shops. The Parks department have done a magnificent job of creating a nice park. Swapped TBs. TFTC
Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. A quick find after visiting the shops nearby with the muggle sister. TFTC
Nice easy find.. all good with cache. Left some fairy dust. Thanks for placing CO
after dinner at one of the fine establishments over the road Willpunkey, Scoob and I grabbed this one and signed the new log. First pen did not work but lucky the second one did
