One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Checked on it today and definitely missing. Shame to see one of Scrubbys caches go missing but there is not much to see here.

Hi there Scrub Bull,

Your cache "Stratford Park" was last found on 15/09/2014, 330 days ago, and has had 4 DNF's since that time..
Is there any chance you could do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and replace it if it isn't.
If that's not possible then please archive the cache so that the spot can be freed up for someone else to use.

Regards

Ian & Penny

I was here with 9 other caching teams today and we couldn't find this cache. Sad
 
13-Sep-14
No luck with a large group and a few previous finders included....maybe another day! Yes...THIS was the one we couldn't find. Thanks Net88!
 
13-Sep-14
Having previously found this one, I spent the time laughing at all the efforts by the others to try to find this one

Well, I had assumed I had found it because it wasn't on my GPS..... turns out this was just outside my Pocket Query zone! Red Face

I shall be back! Thanks Scrub Bull

Well we had the park to ourselves today and with the hint, we came up with the prize very quickly. We sat at the table to sign the log and watched a pretty little bird flying around in the nearby trees. Thanks for bringing us here to this lovely quiet spot and thanks for the cache, Scrub Bull.

I was in the area so I dropped past to find this one. I pulled up right beside it and had the cache in hand pretty quickly.

This was our first attempt at finding a cache and yes, we know it wasn't highlighted as a beginners one BUT it's close to home and we thought we'd surely find it! Alas...we didn't. Are we blind or just not in the geocaching zone yet? Hmmm...we will be back.

Nice easy find, cache a bit damp but otherwise ok. Lovely area

The Team Fang-Prime-Noski Sunny Coast Raid

It had been two decades since my school days in Pomona so I was keen to check out the area again and of course some of the caches.

I met up with Fangsoki and PPrime in Brisvegas. With backpacks packed, puzzles sorted and the trusty Fangsoki 4WD geomobile fuelled up we were ready to go.

Find number 11

No one around in the park this afternoon and the cache was soon in hand.

Thanks for the cache Scrub Bull. Cheers!!

Having climbed the nearby Mountain, and having climbed the nearby Mountain again, Radnoski and I, under the gentle support from Mister Fangsoki in his Powerful Purple Paj were heading bush for some of the local question marks. This one was on the way, and despite a short false start we made a quickish and easy grab between the ... well you know whats.

Thanks for placing this cache, Scrub Bull. Found in good condition.

I have looked here many times under the barbecues and every where but can not find it

This did not take long, MrsFish had it as I approached with the GPS. Thanks for the hide, almost a favourite because of the area alone, what a nicely laid out village with beautiful but not ostentatious properties.

Nice hide. Got distracted but found it in the end. TFTC!

Friday afternoon saw an early mark at work and found me heading up the Bruce highway towards Elanda Point to join the rest of the Crookedclan for the weekends camping activities.

However, it would be rude not to collect the odd cache here and there on the way. Second find on the way in from the highway. Found a convieniant parking spot in this nice estate and wandered over to GZ as the rain started. The hint quickly had me looking in the right spot and the cache was soon found.

You are certainly right about the neighbors, Scrub Bull. Our arrival in Stratford Park turned heads and we felt the watching eyes of the locals throughout our visit.

The good news is that the cache was found and surprisingly the log was dry. All good with this one Scrub Bull!

Nup. Found a couple of disgusting old bongs in the garden (which we cleaned up) but no such luck finding the cache... Will try again another time.
 
02-Nov-12
On our way to Booreen Point for the weekend and doing a few caches on the way. Arrived in little car park and noticed the tennis courts. Therewas no one else here. We had the entire area to ourselves. Quick find thanks to the additional hint. Found at 1210. TFTC.
 
27-Oct-12
Found with Bedmaker while in the area today.
This would be a lovely area to live in.

A quick find for Tassiegirl and I while heading out of the nearby forest.
No muggles around so it was an easy pick up.
TFTC.
 
02-Oct-12
Very tardy logging this.

TriBre and I were staying at Harry's Hut while supervising a Scout hike on Cooloola Way. As we were in an area we wouldn't normally visit we had to claim a few caches.

Today we had a day to just geocache. Thanks to TriBre for solving the puzzles in advance.

We enjoyed the off road driving today. A great area to spend the day.

Thanks for bringing us to the wonderful area.
 
02-Oct-12
Having finished our Duties of supervising a Scout hike along the Cooloola Wilderness Trail with Mastamak, we where free to do our own venturing, we had marked this day as our "Caching Day". Having Finished what we could do with the Evil Series Caches in the area (5 of 6), we moved onto the others in the area. It was Mastamak that provided us the Means to get around.

By this time of day we expected to see a lot more people around the park, but it was empty. Lucky for us! We search but the GPSr's just did not want to play the game, think it had been a long EVIL day and they too where tired! The Cache was well buried but was located after about the 3rd attempt to locate it!

This was a Fantastic day!

5x Puzzle 5 of 6 Evil Cache
1x DNF (On Evil Five)
7x Traditional
So a Total for the day of:
13x Finds and 1x DNF
=Successful Day
Scrub Bull thanks for a Great day out!

We had looked for this one previously with no luck, so we were very happy today to go have a look and turn it into a smilie Big Grin I'm not sure we even looked in that spot, perhaps we were looking for something bigger Surprised TFTC Scrub Bull, sure is a nice place to live around here [^]

Last of the finds out and about with Fangsoki $WD adventure tours and this made for an easy and somewhat different Scrub Bull hide. {:D]
 
30-Jun-12
Having just been 4WDing about with Fangsoki, Herbz, La Kedi and Ruzzelz we pulled up in this park to admire how dirty we managed to get the vehicles and of course grab this cache. Nobody around as it was close to dark and this park seems somewhat secluded. We headed in for the hunt but lucky me put my hand right on the cache. Many hands make light work I guess. So out came the log which has seen better days and it was passed around before rehiding. TFTC Scrub Bull Smile
 
30-Jun-12
Getting very dark now - Team Herbz, La Kedi, Ruzzelz, Captain Terror, and I decided to grab this one while in the area.

The area was abandoned and we started our search. Captain Terror soon had it in hand. It was in good condition. TFTC Scrub Bull - a nice park Smile
 
30-Jun-12
Cheers!
 
30-Jun-12
Last cache of the day before heading back to the Gold Coast. As it was getting dark there weren't any muggles about so we were able to hunt around undetected and before long, Captain Terror discovered the cache. TFTC.

What a great little park. With a tennis court. Wow!! MrsMad had the cache in her hands quite quickly. She was so proud!! No swops today. Thanks for showing us such a great park and housing estate.
 
18-Aug-07
We approached this one with a bit of concern thinking it could take us a while. we were pleasantly surprised however when the cache was found quickly! [^]

As "Stratford Park" is a micro, we made no swaps. BUT we did continue down the road to marvel at the beautiful forest that the houses back on to.

Thanks Scrub Bull. Big Grin
