Can someone confirm its still there?

Couldnt find it today

1/5/24

No luck with this one today. Might have to return with more eyes.

Couldn't find this one! Sorry! Might have moved on somewhere

2nd time looking for this one and still no luck. Im not sure if its still here or not.

Our first blue face today. Without any real idea of what deviousness had been used here we floundered with a bouncy gps from sapling to sapling. Next time

Dang…

DNF - 35 min search and gave up and moved on

This evening, with a pizza dinner geocaching event occurring in Browns Plains, I thought I would take the opportunity to visit the vicinity. Following my drive after work through congestion, I made a few stops in Stretton's parks and reserves, before joining NZ visitors SethRaven and 2FlyTim and a locals' group at Pizza Hut. A group subset then took a short drive over to Parkinson Bushland, and targeted the night multi-cache [Parkinson's Curse - An Odyssey](https://coord.info/GC14JJW). After walking back toward our parked cars, I decided to take one last solo loop targeting an older geocache and a few others that had been on my geocache bucket list.

Whilst following the night multi-cache, we took a slight detour from the track in order to grab this geocache. A previous finder mentioned some intelligence on what we were looking for, and after a further 5-10 minutes, it was 2FLYTim who yelled out that he had found it. Unfortunately like others before us, even with a few TOTTs with us, we still couldn't open the cache container, so took a photo just in case, but it certainly needs CO attention. The tether also had broken off, but with a few supplied tools, 2FLYTim made the in-field repair. Interesting that there was a pile of bricks nearby too? Thanks Cantcacheus2014 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Needs maintenance

Found tonight with a group after an Event at the Pizza Hut nearby

I was wanting to find at least 28 caches in a day for a challenge and decided this was a good area to achieve it. It was a perfect day for a long walk with hardly anyone else about.
Searched for ages without success, so made a paf and found it. Thanks Peppa. Coordinates weren’t too bad once settled. However, like the previous finder, I couldn’t open it - just not strong enough so am sending a photo to the CO. Tftc

#30 for today. Bit harder to find this one but reached out to another previous finder for some help. Bam, found it just as he messaged me back. Thanks for your help beardman. I couldn't open the cache so have sent proof if find to CO.

Found it after 3o minutes. Tftc

Out this afternoon with a group of other cachers planning to do the night cache when the sun goes down. We filled in with a few nearby.

Nicely found with the assistance of the hint.

TFTC smile 10734 out and about with miss millie geo dog Hatzofff RoddyC great caches, great day ,good weather love this area good variety of caches
Thank you, Cantcacheus2014, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Out for a evening stroll before getting a Night Geo and added this one to the collection.

August. That’s when I was here last… today with a group attack planned on Parkinson’s Curse I hijacked a small group of early comers to help avenge my DNF… even though TripleTurmoil had been here yesterday and couldn’t find it, with so many eyes the cache stood no chance…

Todays search area was about 5m from where I concentrated last time… and it was the tether that gave the cache away… tftc…

Catching up on some logging that I should have done many many months ago.

A group of us grabbed a few caches while in the area while tackling Crew 153's Parkinson's Curse cache. TFTC Cantcacheus2014

Luckily had some previous finders with us when we found this one tonight after The night cache. Logged as OBC+7

I was out and about doing the night time cache in the area, and we all stopped by this one on the way back to the cars. Doing it in the dark increased the difficulty, but with enough eyes we found this one in relatively short order. Thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining this cache.

Second one of the night. Hard to find but glad to have found it in the dark. Had a lot of help.

TFTC!

TFTC!

This reminds me again of how much I loath nano’s!! Spent the best part of an hour wandering about GZ, then as I was about to walk away, something stood out right in front of me. Coords were spot on for me. TFTC!!

Alas our only stumping today

Took a bit of searching and too much looking at leaves. Finally found it This was more a nano I think. Tftc

Nope not for me today… I’m sure I’ll be back sometime…

Found in under hour
Signed, sealed and put back as found
TFTC!

Like everyone else who has found this one... we were just about to give up on this one after about 15 minutes of searching.
Tricky little thing, but I'm happy that we turned this one into a smiley!

Couldn’t find this our last trip here. But luck was with us this time. I think I was too busy looking up! Great catch. Tftc

In here for a night cache and suddenly realised that we were very close to this one.
Easier in the dark?
Thank you for hiding this geocache Cantcacheus2014

No luck with this one today for us. we searched for a good 30 minutes and in the heat of the day we were over it.
A nano in the bush, really.

This one was too elusive for us today. We had been out here for a few hours on a very hot morning, and after spending more than half an hour here, we decided it was time to pack up and head out.
Will be back!

Out bush bashing at night to find the night multi. This was conveniently on the way back to the car.

Four cyclists; ruzzelz, beardman75, bulldozer72 and me, enjoyed our morning riding from cache to cache through this nice quiet bushland today. This one was very tricky indeed, and I think it was just luck that led me find it. I can easily see how it could be missed even with a careful search. TFTC, Cantcacheus2014. =^.^=

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching - I had put the call out to gather a few cachers for the On Ya Bike @ Paradise day. With an 8:00 am start the plan was to clear this little piece of bushland of caches.

Our small group consisting of La Kedi, Bulldozer, Beardman and myself set out for a fun filled day on the bikes. Along the way we ran into tvsmiley x 3 walking around the bush land.

Thanks, I love a good bike cache

Attempted this one a while ago but it proved too tricky on the day. Different result this time with La Kedi making the discovery in a spot we had all glanced over a least once. TFTC

Out riding with Ruzzelz, La Kedi and Bulldozer. A previous finder who was supposed to be with us was pretty sure this would be here. With her hint, La Kedi quickly laid hands on it. Thanks for the cache

Clearly didn't need to be disabled, was found. It's just a challenging cache.

Hi Cantcacheus2014,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 45 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.


Ministro - Matt

Too tricky today.

Bested by this one today.

TFTH!

My family and I found plenty today and they were all very easy, except this one. Spent ages and researched back through the logs but did not make any progress.

Another week of self isolation and my one big outing for the week. Such a wonderfully quiet spot there is very little chance of being accused of not social distancing out here.

Very tricky find but coords were spot on for me.

Cache found safe and in good nick.

TFTC

Not today

No luck today. Off to the next one

Caching buddy Semik.
Nasty nasty little thing.
Took a hell of an effort to get the log out as the flag was buried deep.
TFTC

Having an all day geocaching excursion with Oddiewan. Some decent terrains alongside some simples. Apologies for the generic log, but those that know me well know the logging struggle is REAL.

I’ll confess to PAFing on this one to ensure we were looking for the right thing— we were but it didn’t matter, this one was nasty. coords wete about 15m out on my Oregon 750t. The smart phones were about 5m closer. But THIS is a cache where you find gz and then put the electronics down! I also think we made our search easier by staying until after sundown so our torches could catch something our eyes may not see. Huzzah!! Got you, you stinker!!

Then spent nearly 15min trying to get the Fully rolled logbook out. Geocachers around Brisbane need to be taught how to leave the blue bit sticking out!!!

What an evil hide. But its in our DONE column.

Hmmm, too good for me!! I’ll be back!

Hunted high and low. Not to be found today

We looked and looked. Couldnt find it..

I was in need of 21 more cache finds for the mystery at the museum souvenir challenge. Looking at the map, I decided this was a good place to target today. Useful waypoint cache. TFTC

No fun here just difficult.

Np fun looking for nanos here, knees were killing me and after finding 33 caches already to tired to keep looking

With light fading fast I was very close to letting this one go but persisted for a little longer because I hate being beaten. I knew it was here, but finding the sneaky bugger took up all my geosenses.

Finally, something caught my eye. It was tiny but it just did not belong. I followed it and finally managed to sign my name, fresh new log. The search probably took me a good 45 minutes... nano's in the bush aren't fun lol... but loved the challenge anyway. Tftc

Sadly not today

Been and checked and is still there. However as it needed a new log, I changed the cache to something even Smaller

All good still

3 keen sets of eyes determined to search but no luck today- spent a long time looking but nothing today

Not easy for me

Out with Aussie Pete and Aussie Clarke for the day geocaching in the bush. Nice warm winters day for this Kiwi cacher. Three of us spent a lot of time looking high and low for this cache but like the previous people we also failed to locate it

Out enjoying a caching and biking adventure with Griffo. Nice day but this one has us stumped. The day was getting on and we still had a lot on our list to find so we had to let this one go. This one has got me intrigued so Ill be back.
TFTC

No luck for the Waldenclan and I today. After reading previous logs it appaers to be a tough one.

Had a bad feeling when I walked in and there was no obvious location,then checked,oh no a micro with the light fading,but now sitting here at home and read other logs ,I think I'm ready for it next time.TFTC

Quick find for geodaughter of 9 years old!! Guess being short helps!! A tool helped to get log out, but it may have torn a tiny bit. A micro in the woods find!! Woo hoo super excited!!

Oh my god
That really good one
Thank god
Found it
Deaf geo group

What a tricky... TFTC

Found it

Our first try at a micro, we will not give up. Running low on time as visitors are coming. I'll be back!

My first DNF for a while. It's probably here still. Just me and my micro cache blindness. I spent about twenty minutes looking and unfortunately my attention span only lasts about that long
I'll be back one day for another try no doubt!
Thanks anyhow

Found @ 12:55pm on my seventh and final morning cache walk of my holiday, this time while hccatcher11415 was getting inked

This has to be the smallest one of these I've ever seen. Thanks again Cantcacheus2014, a favourite for me!

This was the 16th of 17 caches found as I wandered around the Parkinson Bushland

This took some time. I started to look but realised after reading some logs that it wasn't where I was looking. Geobuddy found it. Very nice and clever hide.

Thanks for the cache, Cantcacheus2014.

After reading previous logs we knew where not to look and meticulously searched for a few minutes and soon had cache in hand. Top little hide.
TFTC Cantcacheus2014
Found December 15, 2017

Needed some caching fix today so we planned to get some from the Parkinson area.

This took awhile to find. We decided to widen our search which was such a bad idea for me. Saw something from a distance and upon closer look got intrigued by the sound and put my face closer. Silly me! A wasp just stung me on the nose! Ah well, could have been worse!

Cache was not far from gz. Such a clever hide!

TFTC Cantcacheus2014. All good with this cache.

Find #1720 Found 15 December 2017 9:54 am

5/10/17, 10:00 pm Find #1174
A bit of a sneaky mid-week late night caching adventure for HuntHiHuntLo and I tonight. We had travelled over here with the main intention being to grab the night cache here, and after we had achieved that we decided we would grab just a couple more on the way back to the car. And this was our first.
Funnily enough I hadn't even looked properly at the cache/caches in this area so when we began our nighttime search in this area and as it was taking so long we look shuts the cache page and I got quite the surprise. After telling the CO months and months back that I would come and find some of his caches, I finally managed to. So we had to turn this into a smiley.
Searching here and searching there we finally came up with the goods after HuntHiHuntLo lived up to his name.
Thanks for the cache Cantcacheus2014.

Bloody micro in a forest!
Haha TFTC

No luck on this one, time constraints stopped us from having a good look around but will have another go next time I in the area.

Had a half-hearted look for this one... after about 15 minutes it was decided to leave it for another day as there was a time limit on today's adventures. I am sure we will kick ourselves when we come back and find it In the words or Arnold "I'll be back!"

Found it. Sneaky hide.

Enjoying a day out to do a few local caches after completing the Power Trail we decided to take try the bandit ..... this one was a little challenging; after a few circles and searching high and low we finally found the tricky little tethered cache

11.00am. Had looked for this without success some time back. Back in the bush today so came back here on the way out. Found it this time. A favourite pont from me.
Thank you. David.

In Brisbane maintaining some of my geocaches in the western suburbs and had a bit of spare time, so went for a walk finding some geocaches in this nice bushland. TFTC Cantcacheus2014

A quick find after a DNF on a nearby cache.
TFTC!

Certainly a hard find but after a intensive search it was located by Mrs Greenotribe. TFTC From the UK soaked log was replaced as unsignable. Out for the day with GR33N0

Seems ok

Late Log, TFTC, Found with Black Flag 78

Can cross this one off the list now which is good. First time round I was looking in the wrong places, second time round found it within a minute of reaching GZ. TFTC, found with ODST 501.

Definitely needed to bush bash to this bandit which was kinda appropriate. Given the size of it Sam did exceptionally well to call out found it as soon as we arrived! Tftc

Quick find. Signed as CA and HI for myself and Chasing Adventures. TFTC - so beautiful out here

Tiny;-)

Holy cow! Lots of muttering inappropriate words towards the cache owner with this one. Took as a long time to find, but Loj found the little blighted! Tftc cantcacheus2014

Searched hard with no luck, and with the late afternoon and more geocaches to find, had to call it quits

got ya tftc

At long last, it took us quite a while but we found it, thankyou very much Cantcacheus, I love your chaches, maybe next year when I come over there will be some more for me to find
