By Africanexplorer, PicassoFace & Emilia on 03-Jul-07. Waypoint GC14339

You are welcome to, but the cache itself has gone, probably swepped away by the storms.

I have decided to archive it because I will not be able to do maintnance on it in the future.

instead of archiving it I can maintain it if you want

Found this cache quite easily although the rain has done a bit of damage, might need a little bit of TLC.

Found this one, TFTC

A nice little cache, although it is still wet from flooding. Our third in this park. TFTC

Jennifer and Grant from New Zealand

Nagyon konnyu volt. Sajnos teljesen nedves belul.

It has been flooded. We emptied out the water. The log and everything else is soaked. We didn't leave it open but it really needs drying out. Left crocheted hair ornament. TYTC.

Accompanied with Sevabo. Lovely walk along to the cache. No swap. SL. Thanks Africanexplorer, PicassoFace & Emilia for organising the cache and hunt.

Found the cache but did not found a cow some muggles were jogging. nice park. thanks for organised the hunt

Have done this one before.
This time in the company of BG and Emma
Amazing it has stayed put for so long.
Thanks emilia

Second find of the afternoon. As per the previous cachers, the logbook is quite wet. I managed to sign it, but someone might need to dry it out for a while.

TFTC

Happy birthday for next year Emilia! No swaps today. SL in a fashion. Thanks.

Found this one by chance as I had accidentally walked this far in search of the Mountains to Mangroves sign for a different cache that I didn't realise was missing!!! Great spot though. Cache is still saturated and very mouldy. Sorry I didn't read the previous logs so didn't have spares. Rescued the TB. TFTC

0683 re-logging due to name change

683 It's a pity there has been so much rain up here - like a lot of other caches the log book could be wrung out. TFTC Africanexplorer

It was raining again today, but the creek was still very low. The cache was free of water, but the log is still too damp to write in and unfortunately I didn't have a spare with me. TFTC

I Believe Picassoface have been around to fix it, but I'm not sure if its online atm or not.

couldn't write in the log a it is soaked dropped a travel bug

As my found log

A quick find after the muggles went away.

The cache was full of water and it appears that the recent rain raised the water level up to the cache. The log book is also wet. I poured out the water and dried things the best I could. This could do with a maintenance visit for a good clean up.

Twenty eighth for the day and cache one hundred and one on day four of our Brisvegas trip, the cache was found at 1635 in the company of chewinprickles and robmc. I am not sure if the bridge was in the right place as there was water flowing every where, we could not believe the cache was still there as water was flowing past it, you may want to check this one once this rain is over and the creek goes down again. Thanks Africanexplorer, PicassoFace & Emilia for the cache.

No cows today, just lots of water above and below. Think the cache will need a bit of repair after the heavy rain today.
Thanks for bringing us here anyway.

Forgot to bring a cow, so no swaps for us today.
Happy birthday to Emilia for next week.
Thanks, Robmc.

Log book was very, very wet.

Had just enough time after family duties today on the north side, to find this cache. Easy find, but there are lots of cyclists and afternoon walkers, so dodging them was the only trouble. I had no cow stuff so I TNLN. TFTC Africanexplorer, PicassoFace and Miss Emilia - it's nearly time for your birthday again, will you hide another cache?

Kids wanted to go for a ride so we decided to cache at the same time. Found quickly but we had no cows to add. TFTC

First cache for the dayon the geocycle. Lovely area.

What a good palce to hide a cache. It looks as though it might have been covered with muddy water recently but contents were in fine condition. TFTC

aaaargh!,easy find,thankin' ye'

Nice quick find at 1010hrs. Had the place to myself.

A few Muggles and dogs around today.But we moooooved with stealth and found the cache. Some water in the cache. tried drying out a bit. TFTC

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

Found during our big cache assault

MrMad found this one on his caching run with our two South Australian geocaching friends - but how sad. Our 13 year old geocaching kid would have loved this one as she is our Maddie Moo - I think I will keep it a secret that Dad found one based on cows - she would be disappointed. But the cache was found and the log signed. Thanks for the cache.

Found with Tratty. Took the long way round to locate cache, but found easily enough. Cache was half full of water (surprised to find it still here after local flooding), but log was dry. Dried as much as possible before replacing.
TFTC Took coin and left 3D model. Cheers

Found with Water Rat. The cache was easily found but was half full of water, luckily the log book was on top so it stayed dry, we dried everything out as best we could, thanks for the cache we had a nice walk through the park.

The travel bugs in this cache didn't look like cows - so I removed them. TFTC.

15:50 Located very quickly. All was nice and dry. I have a sister that lives nearby but I have never been down here before. TFTC

A bit of time ot kill and I managed this one. No cows to be seen but then again it was pitch black

nice find TFTC. haha when i went to sighn the log i forgot the pen in my pocket was a trick pen so i got a bit of a shock there.

Nice easy find today while Geocaching with Cowdy's Rowdy's

Nice quiet spot. Good to have young Tom Nanks with us to help the retrieval and replacement. Left Travel Bug.

THENANKS went out caching today with 'Liz and Bruce' and this was the fourth of 35 finds for the day. [^] Seven year old "THE CHUNKY MONKEY" was the one to find this cache. This type of hide is his specialty!

We left a TB and a smiley lanyard and took out a toy mouse.

T4TC

A nice easy find after checking out the nearby auction.
I had no cows with me today.
Thanks, SL

No water in cache this time, but agree with previous log due to lid may came off, not a firm click into place. Besides that nice easy find, if you take notice of the clue.
TFTC TNLNSL

Found this one in the very late afternoon...
I think it might need a bit of attention or at least a transplant into a sistema container as I actually had to pour the water out of the current one. The log book has survived if only just... it was a little damp but not wet.

Nice spot.... especailly after the rain we have had...
Ta lots!!!

Found this cache easily this evening in the moonlight. TNLN Thanks for the cache. Andrew and Maryan

You guys sure do have an interesting team name which would be difficult to write on some micros, but thanks for this good sized cache easily found in comapny with THE GREEN GECKO. TFTC TN left TB

Oops, almost forgot the BUG. Eh ah JEEP.

I always like these hides for some reason! A great theme, and if I wasn't coming by after work and had the usual stash with me, we had a perfect cow to place in there! Sorry. In the mean time, I decided to grab the Jeep TB to continue travels - going to NZ next week!

Found in the company of Weroamin today, who graciously let me "find" most of the caches today. Cute theme but I didn't read the cache note till after leaving home so left a mouse instead of an item of the bovine ilk. Sorry Emilia. TFTH

Sorry, no cows travelling with me today. Found the cache easily and TNLN.

We rode our bikes straight to the cache. Nice quick find.
TNLN but if we have a spare bovine we'll definitely drop it in. Thanks for the cache Africanexplorer, PicassoFace & Emilia.

Found I was near this one when looking for your other cache further upstream. No one around, so a quick hunt and find.

Thanks Africanexplorer, PicassoFace & Emilia for the cache. Took TB.

Cow of a cache. Lots of fun. Saw a big lizard nearby. Nice. Thanks for the fun.

#9 of 32 finds in Brisbane on day one of a big weekend's caching, in company with The Garner Family and HawMorFords. I found this one at 1340. We didn't see any cows! I grabbed the two TBs, but otherwise made no exchange. Thanks to Africanexplorer, PicassoFace & Emilia for the cache. Cheers, dak.

IN: Nothing
OUT: Honeymoosers TB, Klara TB

Find #r of the day in the company of dak and HMF.

The location of the cache was fairly obvious - even from a distance. The only question was which side to approach from, but that was soon sorted and the cache was in hand. TFTC.

Found quickly after a short walk down the creek (with the last cache we visited stuffed in our bag to protect it from muggles - fortunately returned safely shortly after. We swapped a frog for a necklace (from just up the creek as well!). We also left Klara the cow TB here. After having Klara with us for way to long and a few false starts at getting her moving this seemed like the perfect cache.

[Found at 4.55pm in a beautiful area of Brisbane.] Thought the clue was a little unusual until we arrived. Oh no - not another one - we've just spent an hour in a similar area. But this one was friendly and the cache was quickly located. [Took Bear Clip. Left a Cow for Emilia. Dropped Honeymoosers TB.]

How could I resist finding this cache. As a confirmed fan of all things bovine, I felt it necessary to make the pilgramage to Emilia's Cow Cache today
A moo-ving experience indeed
Give yourself a cow pat on the back Emilia
YUK!!
TFTC

Found on our way to Chermside shopping centre today. Took Nothing left a TB, TFTC

Found with caughtatwork, who with the power of his mobile phone light spotted this one just after dark.
Sorry we didn't have any cows Emilia, so we made no swaps.
Signed log. Thanks for a nice sized cache in this neck of the woods.

A nice easy find to start a wet day of caching TFTC.

Found by caughtatwork at 6:10
A nice easy find in the complete dark, struggling to light the area with the mobile phone.
Regrettably no cows in my bag of goodies so, took nothing, left frogs, snakes and balls.
Thanks Emilia for your Cow Cache.

Found at 1416 with Brian the Explorer, Traveling Travis & Marching Michelle fist for the day.

First of 15 finds for the day. I’d had a few false starts for my afternoon in Brisbane. It took a lot longer than I had hoped to get the first one after the belt.

Grabbed the Jeep TB and dropped off a BaseBall TB.

Left a spider and grabbed a Thong.

TFTC

Had the opportunity to travel to Queensland for some training. Between plenary sessions and workshops I thought "what else to do", Go Caching . Found some great little hides and scenery. Only just scratched the surface. Brought a few travel bugs across from the west. Sorry they wouldnt let me take a cow on the plane.

What The Marble said! Also, I somehow missed seeing the white Jeep TB in there, aw TFTC! ='.'=

Waited for the same walkers from the last cache to pass by us before making a grab for this one. No cows in our bag of tricks today, sorry. TFTC

Quick find. Didn't have anything theme-related so can only hope pig and 4WD TB will get along with the cows.
TFTC

Dropping off TB.

A nice simple cache with a cute theme. I'm sorry I didn't have anything suitable to place. TFTC. *Overall Experience: 3*

Out for a geocycle through to my favourate cycleway and just had to stop for a short look for this cache. Great little spot. TFTC

Nice easy find on the way home from work TNLN.

Fourth find of the day for Mr & Mrs HMF. There wasn't a soul in sight when we pulled up so we were able to find the cache easily. Unfortunately, we were right out of cows so we made no exchange. Thanks for the cache.

Found easily. It was refreshing to find a medium sized cache container where so many urban ones are micros. Didn't have any cows but let a travel bug. Thanks.

Moooooved in towards GZ today without a muggle in sight! Found the cache easily - the co-ordinates seemed to be spot on!

It turns out the cow swap I thought was in our caching bag had already found greener pastures so we made no swaps, although we did pick up a TB. Thanks for the cache!

Don't know what happened, but we don't appear to have logged our find on this cache. We know we found it on a Saturday, and think it was 7 July. TFTC

Don't you hate it when you're all set to find a cache, only when you get to the cache, you realise your GPSr is in the other car.....[B)]

Had a pretty good idea where it would be, and sure enough there it was. My 4yo loved all the cows, but no swaps today.
TFTC
Found at 11am

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 3:25pm. Quite an easy find in a lovely walking area along the creek. TNLNSL TFTC

2nd time lucky

Dropped in to have a look for this one on the way to work this morning. It was muggle central....muggles walking, muggles on bikes....muggles with dogs. Lunch time and I had the place to myself. Out for a stroll on a glorious winter's day...and a cache to find. Who could ask for more?

Nice easy find. As one would expect at this early stage, cache is dry and in great condition.

Unfortunately I had no cow related items in my swap bag so TNLN.

edit...wrong date
Thanks
