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

Thought we found the twins but no luck, more twins here than you could shake a stick at. Will be back.
DNF @ 1:33 PM A day of caching with Stacevel, Lechbros and *SuzySqurrel* today. Had a good look around and PAF without success. I think it may be gonski. ~ TFTC & Merry Cachemas Scrub Bull
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!
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!
I shall be back! Thanks Scrub Bull

Number eleven and the final cache for today. Mr Mouse made sense of the clue.... after a wee search *cough*. TNLNSL TFTH
Came past a couple of days ago and left without a find. Apparently I had my looking eyes in today. TFTC!
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.
Yaay...got it. We've had a bit of practice finding caches since failing to find this one about a month ago...thought we might be able to find it this time and we did!!! TFTC

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.
* Replaced the log, and put it in a ziplock bag... Cache life goes on.
Thanks for the cache, Scrub Bull.

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.
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.

Easter weekend 3rd-6th April 2015 in Stanthorpe, QLD.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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 I'm not sure we even looked in that spot, perhaps we were looking for something bigger TFTC Scrub Bull, sure is a nice place to live around here [^]
Second time lookimg for this one & this time lucky. Cache is in good condition Thank you Scrub Bullfor the cache TNLN.
Nice park. Dropped in here while visiting Cooroy and Pomona. There are muggles everywhere in Pomona as the annual 'King Of The Mountain' is on. TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Scrub Bull
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]
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
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

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.
Had a good look around but no luck in finding it.
We will give it another go once it's been verified
that it is still available.
Thanks for taking us to a new area

No luck for us today. Searched for a good while in the rain before giving up, disappointed that we couldn't spot it Next time! Thanks anyway Scrub Bull
GPS was playing the game for the first time today. Guided directly to the cache. TFTC
It's hard to believe this is a Scrub Bull cache No ticks, no snakes, spiders and other nasties. Found in under 5 minutes... What was he thinking? For all that, this cache was 'Incredible' TFTC. SL.
A well tendered park almost english like. Cache quickly found with no muggles about. TFTC
WHAT A LOVELY SPOT FOR A BBQ

Really nice location .. would like to return for the tennis one day. The additional hint helped a lot. TNLNSL TFTC
A nice quite spot for lunch, once the little Fuddley's were settled we quickly found the cache. TFTH
Found with geocousins newo2020, Quick find and off again, Hint helped me find this one with ease. TFTC
0946 With Marg. Took a bit of a search for this one but Marg found it and we were logged and off. Nice park. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.
A quick find in the first spot I looked. I can understand why others hadn't found it though. The log is nice and dry.

Took 2 go's to find this one, remembered the clue both times, and both times still figured it was where i found it, just first go it was raining kids were getting restless, it definately is still there though, just hadn't been found in awhile, cus 2nd time i went back to the obvious and bingo! its there.
Nup! Nada! Nothing! Zip! Not a sausage!
Nice clean park though
The muggle police must be strict here, even the rubbish bin was still standing upright and had BOTH clips properly fastened to hold on the lid
I wasn't game to use it lest my registration had been recorded, so took my empty drink can back to the car with me after I finished my surepticious search

Very nice housing development and a great picnic/tennis court area. Unfortunately we could not find the cache even though we looked in all the likely spots. Thanks Scrub Bull
This was my quickest and easiest cache for today and the last one that i had success in finding.

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.
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.
