Great spot to stop and have morning tea. There is a nice big park area here. Stamped log and replaced cache as found. Caches this style I thought were called, Others.

Found while out and about without kids

Was a really good hide very clever tftc

After a super quick planting job at the nearby CITO, had time to look for a few more caches. Nice to see a clever HIPSter style hide. TFTC

Waiting to plant some trees Thanks for placing and maintaining

A quick find after the CITO 2 event nearby. The size threw me off a little but a hint from a fellow CITOer made me see it, right in front of my face. TFTC!

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 153 - Logan Day 6. GCLOGAN event day 5. Today's early start was for a CITO to plant trees at Greenbank. It was way too early, but even though we were a little late, we still managed to make it for the planting. After the event we took on some labs and even managed to score a few of the UV surprise caches at today's prize draw. The only one I managed to get to. There was a midday event followed by a chaotic Letterbox hunt on a very small narrow road, with some very confused locals. We did a few caches around the park near the end of the letterbox trail before heading home to have dinner. As we waited for the actual tree planting to start, the cache in the meeting shed just had to be found and signed. Even if it had to be retrieved from a bottomless (seeming) pit.Thanks for the cache HaiHarHoo49353.2 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2015 Jack Frost A#335**Albida**

GCLOGAN TuesdayLooking for another full day of caching, I packed my car the night before so I could get an early start for the day.Rounding up a few smiles after the planned event. Quick find.Quick find.I found your cache, Greenbank Park Run today.HaiHarHoo, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

We arrived early for GCLOGAN CITO 1, the meeting place very close to the cache. RoddyC remembered finding the cache in the past and peered in saying he spotted something. We quickly realised that something had eyes... he'd found a frog. ?? As more people arrived the cache was found and signed. A nice quiet spot in the early morning. TFTC HaiHarHoo.

I spent an enjoyable 9 days travelling all around Logan and surrounds searching for caches with friends and family as part of GCLogan activities. As a group started to congregate in anticipation of a nearby tree planting CITO, the cache was found and passed around for signing.Thanks for hiding and maintaining HaiHarHoo

Found with the rest of the group at the CITO this morning. Tftc

In this park for a CITO as part of GCLOGAN and grabbed this cache while we were waiting to start

Found with Kittykatch today. TFTC HaiHarHoo

Outnabout while at the CITO in Logan for the magical and mysterious GCLogan week long events series. Its always a great day for caching. ??TFTC HaiHarHooFor anyone looking for bucket list event to attend, check out: GCANXX1 - GeoWoodstock XXI on 24th May 2025 in West Virginia, USA. See you there. ??

GCLOGAN TripFound while attending the nearby CITO. Great to visit a oarkrun location. I am travelling with GrimRaider to GCLogan and then to western NSW on our first trip with the van. Thanks for hiding this cache HaiHarHoo

A great cache and quick find. Tftc

Found this one after attending the tree planting Cito close by. It was a beautiful morning and when we sought shelter at the picnic area, we made sure we found the cache and signed the log. All good here. Cheers and happy Geocaching !

Out for a CITO to find this cache. Signed the log and returned to where found. Thanks HaiharHoo. All good with this cache

Found just before attending a GCLOGAN tree planting CITO in the area.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. [:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Logan Geocaching [^]

Nuh no cache here ,,20 minutes of 2 sets of eyes

Second attempt. Sent a picture to previous finder who confirmed that it was not where it was.previiusly

couldn’t find

Had a bit of a giggle when I accidentally sent this one flying at Pominaus. Tricky little hide and lucky enough not to encounter any muggles on a 30C + day.

Mummabee showed off her strength today with this one. Enjoyed the cache.

A muggle family was packing up when I arrived so I sat down and started reading logs while I waited. Once they were finally gone, I swooped straight on it. Clever hide. Thanks for the fun HaiHarHoo

Back again, this time after getting some confirmation of my suspicions (and after getting a couple of bum steers too).
I ended up needing a tool to remove the cache because man, those are strong magnets.
It’s fair play because that’s a great construction. It just needed more grunt on my part.
Wonderful to put a nemesis cache to rest at last. The multiple visits to this area have been a bonus.
TFTC and I reckon I’ll even slip in a FP.

Wow, beaten again. This time I reckon I ran my hands over every magnet-liking surface.
I got more down and dirty this time than previously, but still no luck.
I’m very surprised not to have worked it out by now. After 6000 caches, I thought I’d seen it all.
I guess it’s still there…?

This Geocache created so many hours of delightful frustration for me - which lead to putting more effort into FINALLY retrieving it. Signed, away and on to the next… TFTC

On the back of the frustration of another cacher this cache started to interest me. Through there trial and error I was able to locate (once the muddled left). Cool cache.

I spent longer than I would like to admit looking for this before some Muggles arrived. Unfortunately no luck today, but coming to this park was definitely worth it.

2nd time here, I ended up paf today to get the hint. Tftc

My second visit was no more successful than the first, and things also look a little different to the first time I was here.
I was also worried about too much fooling around with the power box as nothing wanted to budge.
I must be missing something…

A day caching with the usual group (RoddyC, hatzofff, Snickersallan and grannysmith1947) to find the rest of the Oxley series. Started this series years ago and now keen to complete them. Also grabbing others along the way.

Took advantage of the facilities here to stop and have lunch and use the rest rooms. While I was away the others found it, signed the log and returned it.
When I returned I asked about finding the cache and they let me do the whole "search everywhere" before finally showing me where it was. What a clever hide. A fav point from us.

Found on 9 November 2021 at 1.31pm. TFTC, HaiHarHoo

Our third visit to the Oxley Series and the Greenbank Adventure Lab plus a few more.

Had a pit stop and lunch while finding the cache. Great spot.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 12:54 PM on November 9, 2021. TFTC, HaiHarHoo

Caching today with RoddyC patrol14 snickersallan and grannysmith1947 to continue some Oxley series and to pickup other smiles in the area.

Nice and sneaky but .......

TFTCache HaiHarHoo

TFTC smile 10443 out and about with miss millie geo dog Hatzofff RoddyC Patrol14 Snickersallan great caches, great day ,good weather loved this area good variety of caches had our lunch here FP
Thank you, HaiHarHoo, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Day three of our plan to complete the Oxley series and grab a few local caches in between. Set off early with RoddyC, hatzofff, patrol14 & grannysmith1947 and of course little Miss Millie dog.
Stopped by here for lunch and hatzofff made the find effortlessly as she had seen this type of hide before.
Well done CO.

TFTC HaiHarHoo

Found with mnance101 today. Took a little search but cleverly hidden. Glad to get a smilie here after visiting once before. Tftc

Out caching with Lisylou. Third time lucky with a hint from a previous finder. Very clever cache. I don’t know how many times I looked over that! A favourite from me. TFTC!

I knew about this one ages ago but have never been able to log without an abundance of muggles using the park.

It's been exactly two weeks since my last caching adventure and as you could probably guess I'm having withdrawals, so I jumped at the opportunity to join Chamad, Willis007 and TripleTurmoil for an epic LONG day of caching on the southside. Our day started bright and early at Browns Plains, then Greenbank, Flagstone then a short distance away from Flinders Peak to finish off the day. The goal for the day was to complete the Oxley series and grab a bunch of other caches along the way, considering we'd most likely never return it would be silly not to grab them.

In total I managed 30 finds for the day, not a bad effort I must say.

When we arrived we noticed the play area was occupied with muggles, but that didn't stop us from looking for the cache. Chamad had the cache in hand before I arrived at GZ, he's quick! We took a seat nearby for signing duties. When the coast was clear the cache was replaced unseen an we were off.

Out with Willis007, Nayfee and Triple Turmoil for another day of cache madness. The plan for today was to finish off the Oxley series of caches and grab a few extras along the way. Some areas we will probably never come to again so it was best to grab those caches as we passed by. With three of us living on the northside carpooling was the best option today. Then we had to grab triple turmoil, so a plan was hatched, a place to meet was organised and off we went. In all we completed the Oxley series; we did grab a few extras and then the highlight of the day an unexpected walk to grab a very fine alphabet cache. As always, a fun day, full of laughs and mischievousness, thank you.

Making our way on the Oxley series we came across this one, an easy find today. We also took a time out to work on a nearby puzzle cache, thinking it may end up somewhere near where we are going. While one google searched and another number crunched and we all chucked out ideas, something made sense. A few attempts at numbers and we soon had a green light, only to find it was in the other direction of our travels, oh well next time. With the log signed and cache replaced as found for this one we were then ready to move on. Thanks for the clever design and hide.

Targeting the Oxley series today, along with some nearby caches along the way, our super crew of chamad, Triple Turmoil and NayFee stopped by to collect this one.
The cache was quickly found after we arrived at gz, with the log signed we were off to the next one.
Thanks HaiHarHoo for the cache.

Willis007, Chamad, Nayfee and myself were on a mission today to finish the Oxley Series, but to also get a heap of other caches along the way because when we cache, we cache all day!

Quick find here

Here at parkrun so had to be very discrete very ingenious tftc

Found it. What a find. That’s one of my favourites

I had the park to myself except for the mosquitoes. I searched and searched, back and forth, up and down. No luck for me today. I decided to leave when muggles started turning up.

Found it on the last day of 2020! (After three failed attempts):) Awesome cache!

Only nine finds in two years... I can understand why... this is not your typical run of the mill camouflage... I have been here before but the park was always busy, lunchtime on a hot Thursday was ideal as I had the entire park to myself... I read way to much into teamtinda’s log which resulted in my acquiring a very long stick... which proved fruitless...

The last physical log though was traceyday...

Have a fave point for a nicely crafted IPS Cache... thanks for entertainment here HaiHarHoo...

Good one

Came today but lots of muggles. Will come back during a quieter time.

This was our first attempt at a find but didn’t have any luck.

Second attempt and we found it this time. Crafty way it was hidden.

With very little time available, I decided to swing by on the off chance that I could fluke a fast find.
Ignoring muggles, I went to a promising spot and almost immediately spotted something familiar, which fitted with all the previous comments.
However, accessing it proved impossible and I was worried about using a ‘special tool’ I keep in my phone case as the result could be dangerous. I was out of time for more options, so had to leave.
After correspondence with the CO today (thanks for the fast replies), I can confirm I found the cache but I can’t work out how to access it safely. Let’s see what others do.

Lots of dnf's but still there.

It was so difficult but after 2 years I have finally found it

Had a look for a 1/2hr may need to check on it

No find for me either. Might need to be checked on.

Well it was a fun ride to this one through some more trails. Sadly I did not find the cache. Another nice park.

Despite a good search, it was too well hidden for us today. A nice park area with beautiful wetlands nearby.
Thanks
Domsky

Found by Mary & David at 0825. Collected GeoJo and Glowbug afterv their parkrun and, on their recommendadtion, came here to try for this one. Took a few minutes checking various possibilities, with no help from the others who found it last week, before David spotted something and there it was. An excellent and well-made hide, which earns a FP. Our thanks to HaiHarHoo.

I spent 10 minutes searching all the metallic parts without locating any cache.

A very well hidden and creative cache. A favourite for me. Thanks for the hide!

Came to do parkrun and excited to see a geocache right nearby! Saw something that looked a bit suspicious but explored the other likely areas first. Enlisted the help of the parkrun team once we spotted the container and it was RD Stuart who managed to retrieve the cache. Brilliant camouflage! Tftc!

A good location and great hide. Required a bit of brains and muscle. Found it on our second attempt as the signal jumped around a fair bit. Thank you.

No luck today

Came to check cache still in place. Moved slightly but still blends in well. Couldn’t get to log as a mother muggle was standing nearby but all good from what I could see

Tftc

Bugger too many muggle out there ... will come back later
