The fence is not electric. But the cache appears to be gone
The Archive log is puzzling as surely the CO should have the opportunity to check and replace?

Fences are in place for a reason.. let alone electric ones.
This either needs moving or archiving ASAP (and the listing preferably locked so others aren't tempted to scoot under the fence for that one extra smiley)

8870 Located by baby&Mrs gopher ( We also sign as bMg on small log sheets ) at 1140. Ah an electric fence. Now is it energised or not. Long legs step over without contact. Log was full so added a new log sheet. SL Tnx Muff Mafia
Hmmm electric fence is still there, but based on others we found in the area, I'm second guessing on the DNF. Maybe it isn't where we expected or the type we expected, so will come back another day!
Arrived here as to our gps co ordinate but there is an electric fence that neither of us wanted to risk touching so we’ve had to let this one go. Bummer. Wanting to get our 100.
On our way to a Event in Toowoomba we decided to do some caches, having stayed in Stanthorpe for a few days. Had no success with this cache back in January 2015. This time after some perseverance the cache was found. You beauty!

Evidence of where cache should be, but it wasn't?? Oh no!! After expanding search we did find it at gz burrowed down below. Signed log & placed where it should have been. The geokids had fun with their bovine audience whilst the parents looked for mysterious cache. Spotted foxes, ducks & saw fields of roos en route here. Abundance of lots of different types of wildlife around here! Tftc Muff Mafia xo
Decided went to country for a drive the car. The sunny keep me warm
Plenty to see the animals, narrow road with beautiful scene so enjoyed myself... [^]

A day off work and the weather forecast agreed with me that it was a great day to head down to have a look up Mount Mitchell. Afterwards, I took a "detour" to grab a few caches, including this one. Doesn't inspire me to play tennis, though. A quick find and sign. I better hurry up and find the last few caches on my list... looks like it's going to pour! Thanks for the cache, Muff Mafia.
Thanks for the cache.

There is something sad about this lonely tennis court, you could just feel the fun that had surrounded it so many years ago. The social hub and the laughter still lingered somehow.
We have been away for ten days and Mr RV geo had an appointment in Toowoomba. We had been to Goomari Pumpkin festival and had a business appointment in Cooroy, so in someways this unexpected appointment was a blessing as it took us across the ridge and we avoided all the horrible weather that so many people got caught up in. We hung out in Cliffton for two days till the rain and wind subsided so we were really ready for some exercise and something fun to do on our way home to the Gold Coast. We had little knowledge of what may find us there so we decided to take our time. We had done a couple of these before and really enjoyed the History lesson. This was a nice easy find and we really enjoyed the scenery. Thanks Muff Mafia for the Cache.

On our way to this cache we passed a sign saying, Redhill. Mrs. Herbz was born in Redhill...in the UK! On the way back to the car she startled a rabbit/ hare. TFTC.
We introduced our grandson to geocaching while holidaying with us. Enjoyed learning about the history of these places. This cache was on the ground so we placed it where it was meant to be with a stick to help prevent it falling again. Thanks Muff Mafia for the cache.

Well this one took a while. My GPSr wanted me in the middle of the grass. I checked the obvious location to no avail before searching further afield.
Not such a nice quick find then.

Great driving around out here, TFTC, not such an easy find but found and signed it is
We were loving our drive around the countryside finding these caches. So much beautiful scenery in its beautiful lush colours. I met Iluvtrekking and richlink at this cache and we hunted for it together. It was found pretty quickly and in good condition. Thanks Muff Mafia. [^][^]
After attending the Mega in Stanthorpe, continued our caching journey with iluvtrekking to Warwick.
Had a great day out in both the town and outlying areas collected a few smileys along the way. Always a fan of a series and this one delighted us. Thanks Muff Mafia

Back again...Much more grass stomping and other evidence of searches but no more DNF logs since mine.....Perhaps its missing again.
Should have read about it being in a slightly different spot.... Maybe I'll be back tomorrow.
Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.
Today was a bit disorganised we were to head out and make a delivery to help the Qld Mega Committee but then a Dr's appointment changed our plans with very little notice.
After the Dr's we decided to pick up a few caches around Warwick that we had run out of time to convert into smilies last week. Once those were accomplished it was off on the highway to Cunningham's Gap for our 'rendezvous'
Well wasn't this cache a bit tricky! We parked at GZ and the local farmer rode past on his quad, with a dead calf! He stopped to check if we needed any help on the side of the road. After a quick search we headed off with a DNF. Then the 'penny dropped'. We did a u-turn and returned after a better 'directed' search the blank log book was located. Back to the car and the local farmer was returning! Again he stopped so we chatted and got all the info on the major rainfall events here over the last 4 months. Realy pleased that the locals are having their best season for many many years.!

Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the Queensland Mega event

the thistles make this impossible, we checked over similar spot to where the rest were, nothing, got a magnet thing and stabbed around the thistles nothing, really needs looking at.
Out and about checking in this one... Yes it has gone AWOL.. So has now been replaced.. Thanks for those that DNF, and for everyone checking out this great country..
On a weekend in Stanthorpe and Warwick with geo-friends to tackle the caches of the area. Thanks to all CO's for bringing us to this area to search for there different caches along the countryside roads as well as in the towns. This was a DNF
On a caching long weekend with a group of geofriends. Completed many of the series, trails and individual caches from north of Warwick to south of Stanthorpe.
Thank you to all C.O.'s for placing these caches around this beautiful region of Queensland.
No luck this time.

I really enjoyed this series. Every stop we tried to imagine how things were and how things have changed. We felt like we had stepped back in time, until we jumped back into geomobile. Thanks for this cache and the series! This was a quick find!

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Muff Mafia. We found your cache "S.D.H.S. Tennis Anyone!!!" at 11:58:00 AM today.
This was our 6th cache find in a caching run of 15 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9408.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was in the company of Team Robins, Rainforest Cookie and Rat Dog 12.
We thoroughly enjoyed our zig-zag route through the countryside, visiting many interesting spots along the way.
Please excuse the boilerplate logs. It's really not an excuse but, we find it really difficult to craft individual logs when we do so many similar caches in a day.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

All the caches we found were in good condition & some wonderfull & scenic locations.

All set for a super long week-end in Toowoomba from Friday until Tuesday.
I am in town to find all of the new caches in the area since I left town year ago.
After a morning over at the Dam I am now continuing the day on the south side.
With the phone binging like crazy I thought I would head south in search on some FTF's.
After finding a few FTF's I had better find the others in the area hadn't I.
A quick find here.

Great that the Warwick council has placed these signs. How many other historical sites have been forgotten over the years. TFTC.
Out for the day collecting a few smiley faces on Mothers Day. This was the third one for today and we are having great fun racing the geokid to find them. Great hides and great history. TFTC muff Mafia
Having a lovely drive on these sealed back roads. Looks like someone maybe starting to love the tennis court again. A pity the hall etc. are no longer here. This has happened in so many places however these great plaques preserve the history for us all to appreciate. SL TNLN TFTC.

A day trip down to Morgan Park Warwick to watch my mates turn fossil fuel into noise and smiles at the QLD Super Sprint Series.
After Mrs R-F’s experiences at the previous cache, she is more than happy to let me do this one with the comment “I hate micros”. I waved this cache container at her, she waved her middle finger at me .
The co-ords were good, the hide, the log and the container are all in good nick.
Thanks for the caches Muff Mafia.

Finally on my way home after the fun and excitement of the last 14days. Arrived close to GZ and walked the short distance. Have now established a fact about most of your hides but not going to disclose it in any of my logs as I may give some things away for this series past hides and the ones yet to come. Quick find and now onto the final one I have to find. TFTC Muff Mafia..
Had an early start this morning as we're on our way to Stanthorpe for the festival. Allowed plenty of time to take a detour to try our luck with this new series. This was an easy find. A great idea for a series.
Thanks Muff Mafia

Find number 100 and my very first FTF in the one cache! Something pretty special. Glad that I decided to take a short detour today. Thanks for the prize. Great coordinates, easy find.
