One For The Birds Caboolture, Queensland, Australia
By BaffledHarveys on 13-Nov-06. Waypoint GCZC36

I don't plan on replacing this cache due to the suggestions re disturbing the gardens and needle awareness. I totally agree with them.

In the area so thought I'd have a look. As with a number of other caches hereabouts, the flood has flushed the undergrowth of all leaf litter ... no sign of the cache that I could find. TFTC BaffledHarveys.

Disabled until I can check that cache still exists!

Found lots of other things, including the remains of a pen but not the cache, will try next time.

Oh, the cache is probably still there, but I'm not too keen on these ones where the gardens need to be dug up like the results of a bush turkey search. These days with 'needle' awareness also put me off.

Had a pretty good look for this cache with weroamin but it eluded us. A pity that the gardens have to be disturbed in the search though. Think this one has been muggled.

The lake looks like it could use a good clean out but the birds appear to like it.

Nice easy find. Took Geocoin. TFTC

After brekkie on a cloudy Sunday afternoon it was geocaching time. The Geo Knights were out to find some caches. Quick one, easy find.

Happened to be walking in the area could resist a quick cache. Surprised to find a TB, a really cool one for Little K to find too!

It is such a beautiful place! We had the pleasure of seeing the water hens and thier new families. We went in late afternoon and their was wildlife everywhere - one of the monkeys were scared they may have been deposited on by one of the many birds around - oh well!

The area is just gorgeous!

We deposited DK TB to continue his stomp!

found with wife while on holiday in area tnlfootprints thanks for the hunt

Cabulture is fortunate to have these beautiful parks. A great spot for a hide.

By the time we picked up Dad from work, today's rain had turned into a monsoon but we decided to go for this one anyway. A beautiful spot, pity we couldn't see the birds through the downpour but who cares how soaked you are when you find the cache! I thought I had looked everywhere when Dad the cache king demonstrated his prowess once again. The littlest geo kid braved the rain while the older one sat smugly in the car eating Minties.

Nice location for a Cache. Lovely view of the lakes.
We found this one rather quickly. It is the first cache I have found.
I didnt take anything, And I only left a log in the log book.

Cool hide in a very nice area. Well worth the stop.

TNLN & TFTC.

Cheers,

Nice place, nice find. Definately recommend. Thanks very much.

Very nice place, unfortuneatly (or fortunatly) we could not get a park close by and had to travel through the park across the road , just lovely with all the water ways.

Cache still in very good condition and well Camoflaged.
Visited travelling companions

0915 While staying at Morayfield, and commuting to Caloundra thought I'd take the time to stop by and grab at least one cache in town.
Left a pencil and a pen.
Brought through: Baa & Oink geocoins, and B2B ingot.

waters were high took TB coin & left koala

A straightforward find, thank goodness, after 3 DNFs in a row. Could certainly be interesting for speeding cyclists. TFTC

Jennifer and Grant from New Zealand

This one popped up on the GPSr as we were driving home from a weekend away so, of course, we stopped to have a look for it. Quick find.
TFTC

Dropped in geocoin.

Grabbed this one on our way back to Brissy. I could just imageine cyclists hurtling down this path and either crashing into the wall or misjudging the corner and ending up very wet. I think council were having a malicious joke day when they planned this path!!! Pretty spot, thanks.

Yep, just like how my mate ADV tells it ( the bonus of being the second logger!)

Lovely spot, grabbed a pic, thanks for the cache.

Indeed, a good spot. We got a fright when a cyclist came hurtling down the track and pulled up suddenly beside us. Turns out he got more of a scare as the track ends suddenly with a rock wall in front which he didn't know about. So, quick word of encouragement to help him calm his nerves and he was on his way and we were able to locate the cache.
SL, Many thanks...

Found cache this afternoon in good condition. Sat a while after signing the logbook to enjoy the colours and waterfowl on the water. SL. Thanks for the cache and reminder of this spot. I remember seeing a hovercraft a few years ago using the other side of the river.

nice spot, nice hide.

Found this with my brother Nastrangey, which he found easily. Nice little spot by the lake.

A very nice spot for a wedding if you are into that stuff, TFTC

Found it ... busy road .. took keyring and left Chinese Coins

Lovely spot and a beautiful fig tree. Easy find. Took clip and geocoin. Left keyring. Nice quite park considering the rat race beside it. TFTC ...eatmorchickin and stigglepot taking ma and pa kettle for a sunday drive.

A quick and easy find - even in the dark. Our last cache at the end of a quick caching afternoon. Took a Geocoin. TFTC.

I'd written in my book One for the ducks which is appropriate given that it rained heavily last Monday and more today. Still again we enjoyed walking in the park and finding the caches.
Thanks again

First for the day and cache two hundred and thirty on day nine of our Brisvegas trip, the cache was found at 0835 in the company of chewinprickles. We had stayed in the town all week so we thought we better log these caches before we go home, this was a nice area and a good day for ducks as it was raining again. Thanks BaffledHarveys for the cache.

Coin drop

Nice walk along the edge of the lake in the dark, found all 5 along the lake. TFTC.

Seat was too wet to sit and think but it was a nice spot. Good day for the water birds.Lots of rain.
TNLN

First cache for the day out with strong-arm. tidy little park.
TNLN - TFTC.

An easy find to start off a day of caching and hiking with geojez. Unfortunately the Country Music Festival was on and traffic was horrific. TNLN, TFTC.

Found with no worries, interesting bird life here! thank you

Found at 15:03hrs. Easy find in a nice park love these quick caches. Keep up the good work.

TNLN,

Another very pleasant little spot. Found with Questing4. TNLN. TFTC.

Lovely area, TFTC

Geoboy found this one. A few birds round today TFTC

We found this lovely place to stop for lunch about 12.30pm and were amazed that there were no muggles to be seen. It must have been too hot for the birds today - there weren't many to be seen.
Found the cache easily. TNLN.
Thanks BaffledHarveys

Walked back from Twenty lakes to get this one. Didn't see any birds, but then I didn't see any muggles either so I could look in peace. TFTC!

In the area having lunch thought I do a couple of caches,
Easy find TNLN SL TFTC

Dropped in to pick up Nebraska Geocoin to move it further north.

Found while having lunch in the area. Nice little spot.
TNLN TFTC

Found at 10:45am. Number 3 for the morning. Lovely spot. Lots of birdlife on the lake. TNLN Thanks for the cache, Andrew and Maryan.

At our first attempt we came up empty handed. Went back later and found it right at GZ. Should learn to trust the GPS more and not where I think it might be hidden.. TNLN .Thanx

Found today. Nice area. There are still syringes in the immediate area.

Had the place to myself this morning and quickly located the cache. No syringes today thank goodness. Dropped geo coin. TFTC

Found with VWnuts, A lovely warm spring morning, our first search produced nothing, we went back and got the clue, increased our search width by another couple of feet and came up with the goods, thanks Baffledharveys

We had the car parked over at "Twenty Lakes" and decided to walk over to this cache as it was close by. We searched around for a little while, but the cache info was back in the car. So after walking back to the car, we soon had the required info, and set about returning to find the cache. Unfortunately we also found a used syringe whilst trying to find the cache. The cache was found soon after and we moved on to the next cache
TFTC
Found with Tratty

First find for the day. Found it with my Father who I was visiting. Great spot to hide a cache, close to a road but out of sight of passing muggles.I found the first part of the clue a little misleading,however we found it with some searching. TFTC.

Rain does wonders for keeping muggles away. Found after searching in 2 other places and trying to triangulate the location away from the trees.
Water in lake is getting low. Ducks out in this weather.

Geo son retrieved this one at 1105hrs. Lovely and quiet considering it's next to a busy road.

Searched while on a two week private chook fancy tour visiting Caboolture from Chehalis, Washington, USA. Took the train from Brisbane just to look for it. Thanks for bringing me to this beautiful park.

NICE SPOT TO LOOK FOR CACHE AS IT WAS TOTALLY UNPOPULATED TODAY.

Popped over here for a quick find after Twenty Lakes but gave up hunting as soon as we spotted the used hypodermic!
We did, however, have a seat to watch the birds for a bit.

A couple of huge ducks were guarding this cache. And they didn't seem at all frightened of our presence. Found the cache after a bit of a search. T Ruler, L Tennis Ball. TFTC!

A nice easy find for the geokids.Plenty of bird life around today.TFTC.

as we looked 4 pelicans came into land. rain had filled the weir. this was the 3rd time we had looked for this cache. up till now they had all been above ground. took teddy magnet and left child necklace

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 4:05pm. We did some wandering around to track down this cache and then it took 15 minutes to find. Cache is safe and well. TNLNSL TFTC

This was our 23rd cache of day 1 of our 4 day trip to your sunny state
We arrived here just on dusk. We still enjoyed looking at the notice boards and were amazed at the amount of birds that use this area. The cache was located before the light totally disappeared.
Took pig
Left snake
Thanks baffledharveys

Found at 0903 after a bit of a seach. this one was the firs for the day. I started off early before to many muggle would be about. My plan worked because there was nobody in the geeneral area.

Here with Moneydork

A nice quick find in a nice area - TFTC.

nice spot, not much water
thanks bitsparyer

No birds for me either. It was wet after all the rain the night before!!! TFTC

no birds

Yet another one that I couldn't find. Back again tomorrow for another look.

No birds today and no muggles. Guess everyone was enjoying a Mothers' Day lunch. TNLN TFTC

Had a good day today, had to cross the busy road for this one.

Luckily no guard birds on duty today. 2nd attempt found in minutes. TNLNSL

Sneaky area but enjoyed the bird life.Good spot!

7:25pm
Nice easy find on the way home from a trip to the pictures with a local lass. Had previously attempted this one what appears to be hours before it was reopened, so was good to get my hands on it. Guard geese must have been given the night off, else they reckoned the rain would be enough deterrent.
Took Paul TB. Left nothing.
TFTC

Nice location to visit after a visit to the park and the Twenty lakes cache which is actualy a similar size cache even though this one is maked down as Small. Dispite being next to a busy road, this is actually a very peaceful location and a good spot to sit and relax. The kids exchanged a few items and we exchanged a Koala TB with a Jackalope TB. TFTC.

Those "guard geese" weren't doing a very good job! Yes, Wingers was the first one to find the cache....again today

April Fools Day Foray!!!

Nice spot..

Out for a days caching with Rastas and Astro

Great spot. Nice easy find. Cache dry and in good condition.

Thanks.

Swapped something...cant recall

Found this one a while ago and only just got to log it

TFTC

Enjoyed watching the various bird life around while filling out the log book.
Took: Red back spider
Left: Tape measure

Another lovely location that caching has brought us to.

We found the cache easily. Took car, left keyring, then watched the wild life for a while.

Thanks for the cache!

Walked over from the Lakes. Geo-hound getting really anxious about those out-of-reach birds!
Swapped a black spider for the green one.
TFTC
Also picked up Epicurian Ellie TB.

[This entry was edited by Seizer on Thursday, March 01, 2007 at 4:46:20 PM.]

Found at 6.45pm, on the way back to bribie Island. Nice easy find, although I believe a 1 terrain rating may be stretching it just a tad, unless the wheelie has off road tyres.
Took the Cockatoo thermometer, left bear magnet and TB.
Thanks for the cache.
Cheers

Found the ccahe at 4pm. Excellent hide spot. TNLNSL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

After a bit if "scratching around" we found it.
Pretty well hidden. We were safe from muggles.
Took Paper-Clips; Left Thermometer Fridge-Magnet

Found @ 14.10pm. Cache it good condition.
IN; Keyring & scissors
OUT; Snowglobe & butterflies.
Also took Travelling Tim TB for a trip to another location.

TFTC.

Our second attempt at this one and today we were successful in finding the cache. Thanks guys

This was a nice, quick find on our day caching in and around Caboolture. [^] There was a couple of aspirin in the cache so we took those out as we thought they probably not appropriate to be left there.

Apart from that we made no swaps as the naughty geoboys were argueing over what they wanted [:(!]

We said HI! to the TB Travelling Tim who we'd met before, before heading off to find a nearby cache.

Thanks

Found after looking at the notes and not going by gut feeling.Took nothing but droped off Travelling Tim TB.

This is another cool spot sitting watching the birds. Encountered a friendly water dragon which was rather large. A muggle sleeping on a bench close by but eventually found it. Thanks for a good hide. Took washer left croc
John and Helen

Raced in hoping for a quick grab but there were muggles at the lakes edge and another muggle nearby. Fortunately both lots left fairly quickly to leave me to search in peace.

Located the cache with surprisingly good GPS reception given the trees. TFTC

Found what I believe to be the hiding place, but looks like it isn't back on deck yet. Just dropped past as part of a caching afternoon on the off chance. Looks like it'd be a pretty good spot, though.

Cheers
Cowboy Macca.

All back on track, thanks so much to Just A Trifle for their help in getting this one enabled.

Temporarily disabled until I can locate cache and check co-ordinates. Should be done this week sometime.

We found this cache today as our 3rd for the year. It was found in the open with the lid off and has been placed in a secure location with details sent to Baffled Harveys to enable them to replace it in its correct location. Great view, not many ducks around today though.

Left: Compass
Took: Garfield Toy

Find 3/5 today

Stopped in to leave some swaps and to pick up the geocoin to take it for a trip to Brisbane, sadly I didn't find any caches in my search today so will take the geocoin on my trip to wigaaapville next week.

Edited to say it was well hidden in the original spot when I left it, noone around to see me there at the time.
