Watch out for the dragon Ballymore, Queensland, Australia
By cebidae on 23-Jan-07. Waypoint GC10H9D

I found it... at least what's left of it

I was in the area with an old set of notes and didn't realise the cache had already been reported as MIA. I found torn log sheets on the ground around GZ. One piece had The Green Geckos sticker on it so I knew it was the cache logs

I suggest this one be marked as unavailable until it's replaced.

Sounds like the cache has gone missing. I'll free up the area for someone else.

Well it has all been sorted now but yes we also just found the scraps of paper lying on the ground.

see log below

Third cache of the day, but unfortunately i only found the remainings of the cache (some old logs and some pieces of the container). Looks like the cache is muggled and needs maintenace.

Found at 0926 with Lincon. This took a bit of finding I think the GPS was having trouble picking up signals. But Found it we did Cache ok log book a little damp but ok to sign.

0823 re-logging due to name change

823 Base of tree correct, under sticks incorrect. An easy find made harder by incorrect information. TFTC cebidae

Bit of a search around for this one, was worried by some tree pulling at GZ but we got there in the end. Think the toilets nearby have been closed due to public demand - crikey!!

Thanks for the hunt.

No dragons seen today. Lovely little park though.

Kept an eye out for that dragon but luckily he was not out and about today. Alarming number of Doggie Doos all around GZ so please watch your step if you are venturing into dragon territory. TFTH

...we found the cache and a branch that seemed to look like a dragon! Lovely spot - driven past it thousands of times but didn't know it was here. Took nothing, left nothing but a signature. Thanks guys.

Regards,

Pseudo-Geek.

Like my companions said, we didn't spot the dragon but we did find the cache so all is not lost.
Thanks again

Thirty third for the day and cache one hundred and thirty-five on day five of our Brisvegas trip, the cache was found at 1740 in the company of chewinprickles and robmc. A nice place for a cache fortunately no ants for us. Thanks cebidae for the cache.

Didn't find any dragons (we kept an eye out for them), but we did find a cache.
thanks, Robmc.

Cache has been moved.

Cache has been put back in a new location in the dragon's forest.

Cache taken for maintenance.

Whoah! an easy find, so too for the ants I guess. COMPLETELY INFESTED! managed to kick the cache around for a bit to try and get rid of most of them, but they crawled in my shoe. Eventually signed the log and put it back. You may want to move the cache sometime soon as well; a lot of the trees in that little area, including the "hairy tree" have been marked for chopping down.

found by helyl & rachy

nice little park
TFTC

A nice tranquil park where I could cacth my breath. Found the cache easily. Never seen a hairy tree before. Thanks for leading us here.
TNLN, TFTC

Using stealth to approach, the cache was grabbed and replaced without the dogs or their owners noticing me.

Found this one on our 24 hour Caching run around Brisbane and the outer suburbs.
Visiting from South Aust for the weekend.

The MadMen - Mr Mad and the South Australian visitors Skippy of Lambchop and Skippy and the South Australian Parrothead (it all makes sense to us now!)found this one on their fun 24 hour run through Brisbane. Thanks for the cache.

Found during our big 24 hr cache assault in Brisbane

Thanks for the cache

Yay found it!

Wow, i saw a Dragon that was way cool..

What a great little park. We parked nearby and took a walk through the drizzle to the cache. It took me a while to locate it due to poor satellite coverage, but after a quick lesson on the local floral species the cache was located.

Thanks guys,

It was early, it was wet & I had the park to myself. However the noise of the passing vehicles indicated that the daily grind was starting. No dragons today. TFTC

No dragons this morning, probably a bit dozy in the humidity.

TNLN TFTC

This must have been the easies of the day with great co-ords and an easy walk. Cache is OK. TFTC TNLN

Oh no, not another cache in a dog park, I thought. Wasn't to be, though. Nice hide. Cheers from Featherwaite.

Found this on our Royal Wedding Adventure

Thanx

Nice quiet walk at night.great area.

Found this cache during an afternoon of geocaching. I took my son's geocoin along during my trip down from Cairns. He can't bear to part with it permanently, but I thought this was an appropriate cache to log it in for a visit as he has called his coin Victorious Dragon. SL. TNLN. TFTC.

what a great little park! We tried this morning, on a walk to the great bakery near Y.A.W.N, but didn't realise until we got to the park that no co-ordinates had been uploaded. (It is quite a challenge just using the park name and de-coded hint ...). Back this afternoon with co-ordinates and life was easier.

Took the geo-coin and left a special bottle opener.

Just a quick stop by on my way out after work this side of the river. Another great little park area. It's good to keep these in mind as the family grows. TNLNSL. TFTC.

No dragons after dark. Quiet as a church.

Ahhh, dragons. I too like dragons. It's a shame they're always portrayed as the bad guys. It appears the Kelvin Grove dragon was at home guarding his cache of jewels as I found his plastic cache today without a challenge. TN/LN/SL.

No dragons, but I did have to take a catch in the outfield as a passed the local cricket match! TFTC.

Traffic was so bad this morning I thought I would wait it out and look for dragons. I didn't find the dragons but a yellow smiley man. Yellow smiley man and me looked some more (still no dragons) but decided to try the traffic again.

Great hide, TFTC

Found by Ms Mini, while we were out caching with caughtatwork. It was nice to have that clue in an area like this...it helped alot & gave us a laugh!
No dragons today, however we did find one of our yellow smiley men which are happily visiting the caches of Brisbane. Left him there for the next visitor.
TNLN Thanks for the cache cebidae.

Found by caughtatwork at 11:25
No dragons for me this morning, but indeed it could be the right place for them to be hiding.
A nice easy cache on the wet ground this morning (what happened to the beautiful weather up here?).
Took nothing, left lizard and ball..
Thanks cebidae for this nice, easily found cache this morning.

Found this just before cebidae took it away for maintenance. Talk about lucky as we were looking for it just as he arrived. I did this one with a newbie from work.

I have temporarily disabled this cache, as the contents have gotten a bit damp. I'll replace it with a new cache container shortly.

Our 7th cache on the last day of our 4-day jaunt into your sunny state. We pulled up here and carefully walked off the path hoping not to encounter a dragon. We think that it may have been far too cold for any self respecting dragons to be out today. We managed to survive the search, unfortunately the log is a little wet but still useable.
TNLNSL
Thanks cebidae

The recent rain has dampened any resident dragons appearances so we were safe (although we had to hide behind trees from the abounding muggles - maybe they were dragons in disguise?)

Found with dizzyanne and La Kedi and they've just about said it all. TFTC

I had sprayed dragon-repellent on earlier and it must have been effective, not a dragon in sight! One very wet and mouldy cache, though, sorry to say. Managed to write faintly in the wet logbook, but this will need a visit. And for any barefoot cachers, watch out for broken glass further along the path. TFTC. ='.'=

Nice woods, no dragons that I could see, but I'm sure they are there! TNLN, thanks cebidae.

Here with Moneydork

nice park

Thanks Bitsprayer

Used extra stealth and bought along a kid to use as dragon bait, but didn't manage to spot the dragon. TFTC.

#5 of 11 finds on my first night in Brisbane. I found this one at 2030. The hardest thing about this cache was finding the right access to the park. After a bit of driving around, I managed it. The cache is wet inside, but the log book is OK in its zip-lock bag. I made no exchange. Thanks to cebidae for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Found without too much trouble - second for the day. Logbook was a little damp.

Found after big brissy brekky. Thanks - nice little hide.

No dragons today!

*Overall Experience: 3* < this is a GCA thing.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found easily after enjoying great company at the Big Brizzie Brekky Event. We were not lucky enough to see the dragon today, but of course with such nice weather, who would be staying at home! TFTC

A final quickie for the day. Parked in a side street and hoofed it down to the cache. Found very easily, signed the log, and away again into the wretched peak hour traffic. Now why did I leave Brisbane again?
Found at 1605 hrs. Number 9 and the last for the day, and 47th for the trip so far.

Cheers
Bundy

Found OK with help from the clues.
I had planned on the perfect swap for this cache.
I brought along a Shrek figurine to place in the cache, so he could make friends with the fire-breathing dragon.
Alas it was too big to fit inside.
TNLN SL Thanks.

This trackable as been on my caching trips but I am just getting around to log its quick visit to this cache.

No dragons out today (unless you count Sue from Happy Harries)(Sorry couldn't resist). Cache was easily located. Cache is damp but log book not to bad. TFTC.

A nice easy find but no dragons out todat TFTC.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:40pm. This was quite an easy find. TNLNSL TFTC

I saw the dragon. It took off towards the water as I approached.

The hint saved me a long search.

The cache contents are very damp. The log book is dry.

13:40hrs My co-ords were slightly off but the hint got me there in the end. TFTC.

Another nice easy cache on the way home didn't see any dragons though.

Took TB.

Thought it might be a great day to spot a dragon it was wet and raining a liitle with a little bit of mist around, i searched around but only found the cache.

[Good cache, T Karabina, L Poker chips, TFTC.]

[Very good, T TB Satly, l TB Be Loved. TFTC.]

[Wonderful cache, TNLN, TFTC.]

Quite a nice park, but didn't see any dragons. Dropped off travel bug.

I spent ages looking for this one and then I used the "I'm giving up and going, but I'll have one last look" technique. It worked. I am sure that I had alredy looked there.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Found by 8yo Alison within 3 seconds.

Didn't see any dragons.

DNF @ ~1:15pm. Actually, at exactly 1:15 becuase that's when my alarm went off on my little caching adventures and I had to give up the search. Little Miss was having pictures taken today and forgiveness would have been a long time coming if I had been late for the sitting. But that was probably all for the best...

Found @ 6:30pm. This time with the company of Scye and Little Miss. This cache took a little while becuase no sooner were Little Miss' feet on then ground than she was bee lining it to the play ground. We had to have a good long play before we could go caching hunting. What a great place for little imaginations!


Found with no great trouble once I'd read the clue. Could have been some time without it. Thanks for the cache. TNSL.

Yes another one we did during our late night caching escapade. Thanks cebidae

We found the cache at 11 pm . It is a bit spooky down there at that time. Thanks for the cache. Cheers The Nanks

Found without any hassles. Great cover here so didn't have to worry about being seen. 7th find for the day.

TFTC!

We've been to this park a few time before with the last being K9 Kapers. So with the trusty geohound leading the way we sidestepped the dragon's lair and sniffed out the cache.

Yes, the geohound got his reward and had a great run in the off leash area

Thanks

Hoping this would be a simple ride-by - the dragon troubled me this morning until the skygods smiled and my GPSr snapped back into action.

Our second find for the day with the teen HMF's.

We approaced this one from the wrong direction so parked just off the main road while Mrs HMF and Josh dashed in for a quick find. Young Josh HMF found it again!

Thanks to cebidae for the cache.

There be dragons here alright [:o]
Saw one I did ! But it ran away pretty quickly as I rode up on my trusty steed brandishing my GPS
Lovely little spot

Ah yes... a lovely dragon and an easy find. It was our 5 year old that found this one (she wasn't afraid of the dragon). We TNLN. TFTC.

Nice quick find while we were in the area. The geokid had it in hand within seconds.

No dragons in sight today...

Thanks for the cache!

FTF. I went out inthe dark to find this one. Took a bit of doing with the GPSr not really liking the tree cover.

At this time of night it is clear to me that there might be dragons in the area!!

I shall return with a suitable swap innthe near future.
