It seems from recent logs that this cache is no longer in place.
We will archive it to keep the GCA database tidy, and to prevent the cache from showing in queries and searches.
If the cache owner can verify that the cache is in place, or replaces the cache, they can un-archive it themselves by placing an un-archive log against it.

Confident it isn't there. The other one mentioned in a previous log (Miner) is listed as being somewhere else now, so maybe it was taken then and simply not relocated. Either way, this one couldn't be found....
In the Brisbane area for a couple of days and spent the out an about chasing down a few long lost moveables along with a few other caches. Spent a good 15 minutes in the long grass around the stump, but alas nothing could be found. Certainly a good few spots to hide a gnome, but they were all empty. As it's been 2.5 years since this once was found, I fear it may be gone. Maybe it should archived to stop it showing up on PQ's....
Thanks anyway G-Nome....

Resting under tree near a popular train station under bridge
I have found palace to rest along the Bloodworm track. I turned off the track at 27 32.317 153 03.138 to enjoy the view from the rocks. From the big rock with the tuft of grass, I moved down to the rock Ridge and followed it West to the tree you see. I may have rested below some of these rocks in a neat little hideaway but I did not stay. I am at 27 32.354 153 03.049
Driving past after a few days away and found this little fellow. unfortunately my little ginger was playing with the log container and detached log from gnome so have to make some repairs
Dropped at the gates of a beautiful church
Found this fellow on campus will take for a trip to Warwick.

We were heading to the sunny south side of Brisbane to visit the new babies in our extended family. The gnomes decided that they would like to tag along, a chance to continue their journey.
After dropping Gnome Miner near the earth cache we continued along Kessels Road. Just as we approached Griffith Uni G-nome requested to be let off here. He found a secret spot amongst some concrete pipes near the sports field. He reckons it might be best to enter the bush near what looks to be an old toilet block. Samboo was a little sad to see him go, so asked for a final photo which may help you spot G-nome amongst the pipes.

Oh dear, trouble in my household this morning
Then this morning...
We woke up to squabbling in the lounge room. It seems that G-nome had found the box of caching chocolates and while he had opened them, suddenly realised that Samboo had a box of Lindt chocolates that Santa had given him for Christmas. G-nome kept on asking why he had to eat Cadbury, when Samboo had a box of 'good chocolates'. The bear wasn't so sure about this, after all Santa had given him the box of chocolates and he didn't want to give the box to G-nome. Needless to say there was quite a to do with Samboo getting quite upset, G-nome and Gnome-Miner being insistent that the chocolate should be consumed not hoarded, and the middle of it GnoGrin trying to come to a compromise.
GnoGrin gently suggested that since there were five balls in the box, and only four people to eat them, Samboo should keep the extra chocolate. It was then that Samboo realised that he was amongst friends and that yes, he should share his chocolates because that's what friends do.
... and they all lived happily ever after.
When we went to bed last night Samboo and the gnomes were quite happily sitting and watching the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Gnome-Miner particularly wanted to see it because he's seen the previews on youTube but missed out his phone was all out of credit to be able to watch it on iView. Anyway, as I said they were all quite happily getting on when we went to bed.

We woke up this morning to find Samboo (TB55G60) ‘playing’ on the computer. We looked closer at what was on the screen and discovered he was checking out a map of Ballina.
“There are gnomes down there, can we go and rescue them?’ Samboo asked.
“We don’t see why not”, was our reply and we packed some coffee, water and snacks and hit the road.
Travelling south, we travelled through the new St Helena tunnel and arrived at a spot near Emigrant Creek. Samboo elected to stay in the car but rushed out when we brought out the gnomes from their hiding spot. As he leaped from the car he proceeded to greet the gnomes. He was particularly excited to see Gnogrin. Gnogrin stayed with us before he started his own adventure.
Of course there was lots of chats in the back of the car as Samboo and the gnomes swapped news and stories. After a small side trip down to Evans Head, the gnomes will stay at our house near the beach, for the next day at so, resting up for the next part of their adventure. I heard at least one of them is hoping to go surfing.

Have hidden G-Nome, Gnome Miner, Gnogrin and new addition Gerry in an unnamed park or just vacant land on the corner of Sammells Dr and Rode Rd, Chermside
Found in a lovely spot, with two other gnomes (G-Miner and Gnogrin. Ready to start their day travelling.
Dropped the 3 little gnomes off at the banks of the Kedron Brooke. Left them at safe distance from the creek, just in case it rains. They may just get a lift with on of the cyclists or passers by.
G-Nome was still in the good company of Gnome Miner and Gnogrin. They were watching the trains and commuters go by. Some great views in this area too. A very clever hide, almost thought they had been muggled, but slowly and surely 3 little gnome hats began to appear as the leaves were brushed away.
