This has just become too difficult for me to replace - so pulling it down to stop people wasting time looking for it.
The spot is now free for someone else. Cheers!

Bohužel nenalezeno. Myslím, že keška v místě souřadnic není.
Unfortunately not found. I do not think there is a cache at the coordinate site.
 
22-Apr-18
Had a good look. Can pretty much agree with previous dnf’s

Dnf! Not a find!

Okay, back from 5 weeks overseas. Will drop in to see what is going on here. Thanks for the heads up guys!
18/1/18 Went to replace this one, and as suggested, the sign has been changed. It is made from a completely different materials, so no longer magnetic... I will have to think about this one and take back the full Geo-kit to find a solution.
Might be a couple more days before fixed....
 
16-Jan-18
Couldn't find this one, looks like the sign might be new?
 
16-Jan-18
Couldn't find sorry.
 
16-Jan-18
There's a new sign here and we've searched all likely spots - two in particular, but came up empty. CO may need to investigate.
 
16-Jan-18
After confirmation of something vital this afternoon it's safe to say looks like CO needs to replace this cache please.

TFTC... 17/7/17. Tough Mothers were confused for a few minutes. Not where we first looked, the clue led away.

26-May-17
Geo-kids are off to the school social. Geo-daughter has gone with several other girls to a friend’s house first, as girls can’t get ready on their own for an event like this! We just dropped geo-son and a mate off at the entrance, so the night is ours now.

We have plans for a certain cache tonight but we can’t start it till 7pm so we thought we’d picked up a few extra caches on our way. This was our first stop out with the torches and we made the find and signed the log.

Mr4ando was just double checking the torches were all in working order…

Next, we headed to this one. A search of the usual spots revealed nothing but cobwebs. Expanding the search ever so slightly, and the cache was quickly located. TFTC
 
15-Apr-17
Out and about on the bike doing the Redcliffe Rail Line Loop back to Petrie. Great day out, 80 km and a bunch of caches from Redcliffe round to Bald Hills. Cool
 
11-Apr-17
Found Ok
 
08-Apr-17
Today I decided to apply some physical exercise, and a 60km bike ride covering about 6 and a half hours and 36 Smilesmileys (of potentially 38) sounded like just the ticket to me. A good day in the saddle.

Thanks for placing this cache, fng_affl. Found in good condition.
Cool *{Overall find #5178}* Cool

Nice and quick find, TFTC
 
Took a detour on the way back to the car to grab these ones.. All fantastic coordinates which made for quick finds. I especially loved the colour of this cache

A nice find when I stopped and analysed the webs Smile Considering how often it had been found and the webs process of elimination kicked in I even got to meet a friendly nearby dog that came up for a sniff and a pat TFTC Smile

2094 - After a nice Father's Day lunch not too far away, I headed over to pick up this cache this afternoon. On arrival there were a couple of kids playing on the swings, but I was not near them when I conducted my search. I found it quickly in the logical spot at 4:11pm. Thanks for placing the cache here fng_affl.
 
08-Jul-16
Next up on my stops today was this one, I had to fill in a little time taking a photo of the nearby area as a dog walker decided to circle the roundabout crossing each road. But soon enough they were out of sight back the way they had come and I moved in for a quick find. I got my name on the log and all replaced before heading on.

Came out at night for a quick fix to a park that I didn't know existed. Spider-Man was also there. We did have to wait very suspiciously in the dark due to muggle activity. Tftc
 
02-Jun-16
Out for our regular Thursday caching day with Lenore1972 & Nikid1. We headed out to North Lakes & Redcliffe to find 2 caches in particular for the spell June challenge & whatever else we happened across. Nikid1 had already found this one so it was left to Lenore1972 & I to make the find. Lenore headed to 1 likely looking spot & I to another & I soon had the cache in hand. Log signed & unfortunately smudged as i was rerolling it so the pink smudge is our names!

**Smilie #3887**

A couple of hours to spare so off to the north-side to, hopefully, grab a few quick smilies. Smile
This was our first stop.
A nice quick find to kick off the day.
Co-ords a little iffy but all good.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Thursday. Luke from Slow Puncture was on a day off so popped out for a quick cache. It was unseasonably hot today (compared to the last two), and the iPhone's geo-compass has been playing up, so the hint for this one was GREATLY appreciated - found quickly and first signature in the new log Big Grin

This was the 1st of 1 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***fng_affl***, for showing us this place. Smile

Helloooooooo fng_affl.....my legendary friends who got me out of a pickle when I was almost stranded in Brisbane for many many long tired hours on the weekend, thanks to TigerAir. It was great to catch up with you guys after so long!
Anyway, firstly, I was worried about how I was going to find this cache to log it as I kind of had no idea where I was when you took me to find it. So how was I going to find it on the geocaching map to log my find? Well, I looked up Brisbane city, then scrolled North, found Mango Hill which I knew was a suburb near you, then found Clontarff which is where we went after this cache, managed to narrow down a search area and VOILA!!
We cached our way to the airport basically and seeing as you guys have found some of mine in Melbourne I really wanted to find one of yours! I knew what I was looking for but no matter which way I looked I couldn't see it. After a few minutes Mrs fng_affl (who hadn't actually seen the hide out in the wild) found it and pointed it out to me. You could almost get away with logging a find on your own cache since she found it legitimately!!! Haha. I was surprised by the colour. I've only ever seen silver and black. Great match.
Thanks for bringing me here....literally....since it was on the way to the airport and you guys were doing me a massive favour by taking me there Smile This gets a fave point because the CO's are nice people!! Great to see you guys.

Not my favourite size cache but when hidden in this situation, they are just what the cacher needs, the log was full, Thanks for the hide fng_affl, hope to find more in QLD soon
 
06-Mar-16
Out to go look at this one since I have been told the log is full.
Yes, and the temporary log isn't far behind it.
Okay, removed original log and have placed a new one. Cheers!
 
05-Mar-16
TFTC GPS had us a few metres away but thanks to the hint we soon had this one in hand. Have added an extra log which should hold a couple more logs before CO can come and replace. Thanks for bringing us here and don't forget the mozzie replant !

Found it, great little hide

Need a new log Smile

Nice little park. Quick find. TYFTC.

I was waiting to pick up the good wife, Sweet_bee from work - so I decided to grab this one.

I want an extra difficulty star for navigating into the place Razz What a rabbit warren! I had to cut a large lap of the area and it seemed I somehow ended up in a school. SIGH.

I soon sorted it and arrived at GZ. All was quiet except for a loan dog yapping every now and then but it soon ceased. After a bit of a hunt, I soon found the elusive prize. It was in good condition. With the log signed, and the cache stowed, I was off... sadly with a few mozzies in tow.

A nice little park to visit - glad it was quiet tonight. TFTC fng_affl Smile

Out and about again with Dutchie1950 Big Grin My list of 11 caches for today took us from Deception Bay to Dayboro, but they included a few that she would find useful for a Challenge she is working on Wink so we arranged to meet up this morning.

A pleasant park, but the GPS had us in the middle of nowhere Sad Well, there's a couple of spots that make sense... Dutchie went to one and I the other, but we both came up empty-handed Red Face After some more looking around, I went back to my first spot and had a better look, and made the find. TFTC, fng_affl.

# 1257 - An unexpected midweek call from IolantheK and on the go we were yet again. IolantheK had her plan of attack worked out as usual which included a few caches that I could use for my challenges. Isn't she sweet?

Not far from our first cache we found this one. GPS sent us in different directions, but IolantheK's direction made more sense and after a second (better) look the cache was discovered.

Out in the area so detoured to this park. Nice and quiet here with the park to ourselves. Quickly had the cache in hand log signed and time for a swing. TFTC.

What a cool little nano I loved it my first actual nano bison I was stoked

Just had lunch thought we would get a few sneaky caches Smile

I remember when this cache came out a couple of months ago. Wanting to wait until I had other caches to find in the area before driving out here, I grouped this with several other caches to find today. Arriving at gz, I did a precursory scan and quickly spotted cache. Signed log and returned as found. Great hide fng_affl. TFTC

Found at 0951. A quick find in a nice quiet park. TFTC.
 
18-Nov-15
Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:21pm. The cache is well hidden but we found it after searching for a couple of minutes. TFTC
 
30-Oct-15
Found 1240 hrs

I was out and about today to do some work and on my way home I decided to add a couple of smilies to our map.

This was a nice quick P&G. Once I retrieved the cache the log was signed and cache returned as found.

Out for a cache with the younger Geo boy after dropping his brother at school. We liked the park, we had fun racing each other down the slide built into the hill. Oh yes, we found a cache too Big Grin

This cache was found in good condition after a short search, bringing our grand total to 1808 smilies.

Thanks fng_affl for showing us this area, and for placing and maintaining this cache for us and others to find.

Easy find. Enjoyed this one. Tftc

Out on a quick caching run with the Burdons5 this afternoon and called past this new cache to collect a smilie. A quick find and nicely camo'ed. Tftc fng_affl Big Grin

You wouldn't believe how long we took to find this. Very embarrassing. Tftc

This was our last find for the day and was a fairly quick one for us. TNLNSL TFTC

I must have walked around GZ half a dozen times before I spotted it. TFTC
 
20-Sep-15
On the road home from the Step into Spring Event in Browns Plains, we decided to visit this cache.
Arrived at the park and there were a few muggles around but away over the other side of the park.
At first I could not find it and then I felt in one more area and had the cache in hand.
We moved away from GZ to sign the log and then returned as we walked away.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks fng affl Cool All good with this cache

I received the notification that this had been published while sitting on the train on my way home on a Friday afternoon. Then, a short while later it was found! Sad Such a pity, as it is so close to home! Sneaky CO!

As there was no longer a rush to find it when I got home I waited until this morning. Being close to home I took a walk across to find it. It was quick and easy as I had a similar plan in mind for placing one here myself! TFTC fng_affl Smile
 
19-Sep-15
HAHA!!! I see what you did there Wink

I loved playing in the playground with my smallest munchkin, and the moment I tried to be stealthy Surprised

Which went like this....

Yeah, I know where the cache is.... I'm just going to walk past and grab it like a pro, so that any muggles that could be possibly watching have no clue at all....

Actual cache grab... Walk up, grab hidden micro, drop it, look like a fool.... Grab it, and retreat to the playground...... Yeah, that went well Red Face

Having a munchkin, to retreat too, I think worked in my favour!!! Bahaahaha!!!

I'm the worst at stealth, but I think maybe the time of day, no one questioned the weird chick in the park Razz

Thanks for the cache fng_affl Razz

FTF @ 5.25pm.
Just got home from work when this one came through. Being only 1km away we decided to hop back in the car and make a dash for it. We arrived at gz which was a lovely park. After a very quick search we soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.
