A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays Gordon Park, Queensland, Australia
By Mongy (Adopted by TheWrightFamily) on 13-Apr-07. Waypoint GC124HN

As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Finally sorted out a replacement container
Apologies for the delays - Mostly due to the sudden loss of my father and need for me to be interstate recently.
I will put the new container in place this weekend and enable the cache once more.

Had some frustration with the replacing of the container
Almost solved!
Stay tuned - sorry for the delay

Replacing the container and the logbook
Hoping to be back online at the end of this coming weekend
Thanks for your patience

Thanks for the note MischievousMaverick.
This is a temp disable purely for maintenance.
Anticipate it will be back up in a couple of days once I organise a replacement container etc
Apologies for the inconvenience.

The lid of the cache is broken and the bag is torn, otherwise good. Nice spot for a cache! TFTC!

This is my first for 2011 so, onwards and upwards!

The lid to container has rusted, the hinge has given way and the log book is beginning to get moldy. This cache now needs some maintenance.

17:18
A fun and simple find.
Log book is wet; may need replacing.

Too easy for geo daughter.

Found this one pretty quickly on my way to the movies. Great hide and great first cache!

Found it while out & about! Took a while to place back as it was a busy time at the Skating rink..

Number 2 for the day and this was a nice quick find

Our 199th look out 200 nice quick find but we were both a little vertically challenged TFTC

nice quick find no muggles around TFTC

Found on a warm but clear day caching in northern Brisbane. Made a quick find and just had to time it properly. Thanks to Mongy and TheWrightFamily for the cache.

excellent hiding spot. Had a little trouble with the coords

Think Coords might be a bit off, but really good hiding spot.

Cache was lying on the ground below its hide. Signed log and reattached. TFTC

Thankfully this one was not nearly as painful as I thought - except I nearly got mowed down in the car park by some clown. Found the beast after a small hunt. I haven't roller skated since the 1980s - before I was a teenager!. TFTC

This was cache # 32 of 34 on day one of my Brisvegas Tour. It has been along time since I got a pair of skates on, the last time I did it I knew that if I was to fall over that It would hurt real bad so I have retired from this activity. My thanks to Mongy (Adopted by TheWrightFamily) for the cache.

Found at 1150Hrs. This one took me longer to find than it should have.
I see that this that this cache has been found and signed by a group of Stafford Guides and the log was dated 17/5/10, ie. a week after today! No online log though.
Thanks Mongy and TheWrightFamily

Found this afternoon on our caching run. Easy find by Andrew. Thanks for the cache, Andrew and Maryan

Found it!
I went skating once here 3 years ago, playing a hockey game with Chris Sampson !
TFTC and Greetings from France...

Found by Mary & David at 1550. A big complex, but few people about, so an easy find. Our thanks to TheWrightFamily.

Easy find on a sunday when no one is around at the skate-way. Geo-dad used to go to this skate way many a time as a youngster. TFTC - Wells Inc

Nice cache. Greets from Germany! =)
TFTC

It Seems that Saturday nights are still busy even now.
Managed to locate the cache and sign quickly.
Putting it back in place was more of a challenge, as the Skating had just finished for the evening.

A nice easy grab while in town for a wedding. This one was exactly where I thought it would be, and while the car park was full, everyone was inside having fun. TFTC.

I found the GPS off by about 7m, but it didn't matter, I had my caching eyes on and walked straight up to it. TFTC

An easy find today whilst on a Driver's Course teaching students how to navigate.

Great hide, and fun memories -- I remember skating here as a kid. I'd undoubtedly fall over and hurt myself if I tried now! TFTC!

TFTC! Found with EngPhil & Miss Geosie

Brisbane seems to have a plague of little tins. The good thing is that they are easy to find when you look in the right place. This was one of those.

Nice straightforward one. 3.30pm seemed a quiet time.

Even at this time of night, or should i say morning, i had to wait for the occasional muggle driving by. Found the cache fairly quickly once the coast was clear. Nice hide, good camo. Signed the log @ 1-50am. TFTC

thanks

I used to go here every week!

Ride past here most days to and from work - out running while teaching GeoSon riding skills and needed a stop - ended up being longer than intended as was overun by muggles attempting to put it back!

Australia Day and the only muggles were a father and son riding past on a bike and then a carload of 'yobbos' yelling abuse to everyone as they drove past.

Nice little stroll looking at the cannon whilst a lady on the balcony nearby was busy chatting on her phone. Waited for the Garmin to give the location and sat down for a while to pick up the cache and complete the log.

#1 on a tour with Dom, Emilia and Mormor. TFTC

No need to take evasive action, even in school holidays.

I was expecting to get mowed down by a skateboard rider or two, but they must have all been in the building. SL. TFTC Mongy & Wright Family

Found in the dark.

A nighttime jaunt meant fewer muggles but still had a close call. A good hide and a nice quick one. Cache in good condition TFTC

Busy busy spot!! Snuck up to GZ and grabbed container before going back to the car to log it and then sneaking it back again. TFTC

Nice quick dash and grab. There were people coming and going, but it just took a bit of timing and it was done.

no muggles today

335 - Found at 11:09am. Nice easy find, but we had to wait a few minutes as a muggle parked their car right at GZ and we had to wait until they left the area before we could do a search. TFTC.

Watch put young muggle alert

Good one, My son will go there in one day...

i have skated here lots of time in my younger days and iam 36 now

Late night run with the Geokids and the sixth for the day. All nice and quiet this time of night.

SLTFTC

Great camo, love the spot.

Well done!

A quick find with no one around, lucky for once.

TFTC

Found It

Found with the geoniece

Yes, spent many a weekend here, then did deliveries here as well. easy find, parked right in front. tftc.

Cache found and logged using GeoScout http://www.navstation.co.uk/geoscout

Found with Gunnie69.

Gunnie was armed with the GPS and decided to use the "phone conversation" trick as I searched for the booty.
Gunnie ended up grabbing it anyways...

TFTC

This was actually a lot easier than I expected it to be given it's location. SIlver Sovereign along side, we were in and out in a couple of minutes. We had no trouble with parking, even with the rather unaccommodating sign nearby... Have they no respect for us sporty types...

Cheers

At 16:15 We ignored the sign about parking and stood by the cache obviously (we hope) waiting for some friends. They didn't turn up! TNLN. TFTC.

Found with Sharon & Samantha. A good hide, TFTC!

My trolley comes in handy for my hunting.
TFTC

Found it No. 1243 ... easy find ... TNLN

Arrived before opening time and was able to park close by. TFTC

Great spot indeed. Almost in plain sight too!

I had a lot of khaki on today so I took a notebook and pen to give the appearance I was checking the structural integrity of the area. Works a treat.

TFTHide

Yes I remember having a skate here once or twice, and a fall three or four times. Found it OK, TFTC.

Hi TheWrightFamily,

I am posting a note here on one of your caches as I haven't been able to contact you through the contacts.

You picked up my 2008 Australian Geocoin about 4 months ago, and so I am writing to ask you to please move this coin on soon as I would like to keep it moving.

Thanks

Tony

10 on our "Brissy Raid #1
Found at 061833KJan09
After a bite to eat and a hiding from the mid afternoon heat Geo Mummy and I headed out in an attempt to retrace some caches I had done 1 year and 1 day earlier as a friend from WA took his ‘muggle mate’ (me) out to show him what caching was all about.
I let Geo Mummy (wife) do the searching as I knew where it was already, she found it fairly quickly but needed someone taller than 5’2†tall to recover it.
Very heavily muggled area and it took several attempts to retrieve and replace the cache without being seen.
Does the first ‘tag’ in a revamped cache class as a FTF???

Does this cache need a new adopted owner?
If so, we'd be glad to look after it as it is very very close to home.

What do we need to do to adopt it?

We will check out the logs and make sure there is a new logbook tomorow and ensure that it can start out the new year a fresh.

Disabled pending archiving

Found on a raid of Mongy caches which haven't yet been adopted. Found location nice. This would make a good cache to adopt.

Found today after a short search. Grabbing the container to sign the log took much longer! The new micro logbook I had was a touch O.S. so the the old one remains yet. SL. Thanks.

0900hrs. Nice easy find. Log book full. TFTCSL

nice quick one. thanks

Only one or two more entries left, log book very full.

Yep, got a park near GZ and made the grab, interesting cache, thanks for the hunt!

Cheers

Found this one OK with TheWonderstuff. Log book very full.

0689 re-logging due to name change

689 We've signed early in the book and there is now only two more pages blank. Easy find. TFTC Mongy

Stealth required; but relatively easy.

Third one for the day. A very nice area.

Greetings from South Africa

Rolled in... logged in... rolled out...

TFTC

I dont remember the last time we went Rollerskating, but then we moved onto Rollerblading.....but that too was a long time ago.....

Found with Baroki Scout
TFTC

Roller skating... wow.... it has been awhile...
I think I have most of those songs on my ipod.. we must be from the same era
Nice hide...
Found with VWNUTS...

There was no one around today at all, it was an easy drive by cache. TFTC

Easily retrieved the cache but while I was signing the log a muggle parked beside me. Had to wait until they got things from the boot and then wandered off before I could replace it.

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

Thanks for the cache

Found on the big caching run with Skippy and Parrothead from South Australia. Much fun was had by all as we cached for 24 hours - cache was fun - log was signed - thanks for the cache.

Cache 3 of 40 on a big day of caching with Kholometers. Easy find despite the muggles interested in our antics. TNLN, TFTC.

Cache 3 of 40 on a big day of caching with Strong Arm TNLN TFTC

Found this one fairly easily today. I was able to reach it, and I grabbed the geocoin. Thanks Mongy FTC.

Easily found but getting hold of the cache required more inches. So Mr G grabbed the cache and we sat in light rain filling out the log.
Left: "When Pigs Fly" GC
Took: nothing.
TFTC

Quick find. Thanks Mongy

THENANKS went out caching today with 'Liz and Bruce' and this was the twelfth of 34 finds for the day. [^] Once again it required a bit more stretch than I had to offer but with Bruce to the rescue it was all good.

There were some lucky dogs getting hydrobathed right nearby.
