**A late write note ...**
I was going through our FTF list & remembered this one being Archived & logged as 'Muggled' within weeks of being published.
As we were the only ones to have found it, & seeing that we were once again heading west, we made a small detour here to check if it was indeed missing.
The date of this, our second, visit was 9/6/2017 ... 5 weeks after our FTF & roughly 3 weeks after the CO archived the cache???
Imagine our surprise, after 2 logged DNFs & an unsuccessful search by the CO, to roll up & find the cache still EXACTLY in the spot we had FTFed it.
It is now another 12 months later ... next time we're headed in this direction we'll call by for an update.
Perhaps someone can pick up a smilie for this unfortunate, unloved, archived cache.

The Cache appears to have been Muggled.
I could not find any trace of the container or contents anywhere near the GZ, therefore I will not be replacing the Cache.
If anyone close to the site wishes to adopt the Cache, please do.

*FTF*
Found @ 5.32(ish) a.m. in the receding darkness! LOL ...
The plan for today was to meet up with **vennfamily**, in regions west of Toowoomba, in the hope of securing a FTF on a SSE cache that had previously eluded us & then continue on radiating out towards Dalby & Cecil Plains to see what our caching 'country cousins' had on offer.
Well as they say "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry” (by Robert Burns) & this was the case for us today!
This cache had popped up on the scanners late last night & appeared to still be roaming free.
Time to put paid to that! LOL ...
Fired up the Geo-Beast & took off like a shot from a 'Cannon' (sorry, private joke) at 4.30 a.m.
As we were getting closer this cache was still unlogged so a slight detour had us parked roadside foraging around amongst the natural & man-made debris.
Searching in the 'half light' of dawn & dusk does not bring out our best caching skills but it didn't take too long to stumble across the prize & find a nice clean log sheet.
A great start to our caching day, here's hoping our good fortune continues.

**Second to find this one 
I'd noticed this one had been published when I logged onto the website this morning, and since I was heading out past here to train my birds from out near Gatton. I decided I'd call in on my way back and see if still a FTF [?] I didn't hold out too much hope though, as I saw somebody had it on their watch list, and it had been published for a while
Anyhow, at ground zero (coords were good) I made a quick find and discovered that VC had signed the log earlier today. Not to worry, it's still a cache to keep my daily streak going, and a "hidden month" I didn't have yet! [^]
Dutifully signed the log and replaced everything back as I'd found it. All is ready for next geocaching visitor to come and find it for themselves [8d]
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache guddink
