Skate or Cache Chermside South, Queensland, Australia
By Mongy (adopted by ruzzelz) on 26-Aug-07. Waypoint GC159NP

Closed out as muggled.

Report from Team Robbins suggests that cache may no longer be in place

Had two looks, the second being very thorough however nothing came up. I even started to wonder if the nuts and bolts may have been the cache!!

Sorry.

Found at 11:35 with geograndson Byron. TFTC

Can't skate too well, lucky I cache better, found this quickly. TFTC

The rainy weather ensured that the skaters were absent. Found the cache easily.

we found it thanks

Patox found the cache at 9.35am. Lovely park. SL. Thanks ruzzelz for organising the cache and hunt.

Skate or Cache was transferred from Mongy to user ruzzelz

We had the coords for this cache still in the GPS from a visit to this area about 3 weeks ago, but at that time did not go seeking this cache. Today we stopped and had a look as we passed by (not knowing it was disabled), and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks Mongy and russelz for the hunt. TNLN

Back in action

Disabled pending archiving

Its school holiday today. Lots BOYS were riding bikes up high, swirl, dragging, spin like a skateboard. I really enjoyed watching them. Age from 5yo to upward. 8D

Didn't get anywhere near this cache on the weekend....

No skaters about today made for a quick find.
Dropped off a geocoin.

Find 14 of 42 on a day of caching with Kholometers and Tratty. The skater here think we looked pretty suspicious but he ignored us mostly and we timed our grabs and returns - TNLN, TFTC.

Maybe the gates don't close. Arrived before 6am to find the place deserted. With a hop, skip & a jump cache was retrieved. TFTC

Well i think it was to earlier for the skaters at 6:45am, must all be still in bed. Made it a nice easy find.

I'm hoping the skaters nearby didn't see me doing my strange acrobatics. Not sure they were up to Olympic standard. Found cache and dropped TB. TFTC.

Only a lone skateboarder around and with geoson as a cover, this was an easy find.


TFTC

Nice and easy. Found it without GPS. Good description. TFTC

Yep, had an idea where to look and grabbed it, nice park, skateboarders are a breed of there own!

Grabbed a photo, thanks for the placement! Good to meet you to.

Nice facility and some skaters seen. Found OK with TheWonderstuff.

A quick grab on our way to friends for a BBQ “braaiâ€.

Greetings from South Africa

found at 0935. I had to look hard for this one but found it eventually. I also had to arm wresle to get to it a local and large spider. Both it and I are no worst for our encounter.

Geoson C.J. and myself stopped in for the second time on this one. Too many muggles about last time. Arrived at G.Z. saw someone looking over and under and all around. Told Geoson that those were the signs of another Geocacher in action. Hail goodfellow and well met PesceVerde. We all struggled to find the prize when low and behold! Ding there it was! Well placed Mr. Mongy!

Found today as the flow of new places to look started to slow down rapidly. Cache was well spotted by meekster67 and son CJ in it's secure possie. It was nice to meet you fellas, and best of luck to you. Thanks Mongy.

What a great picnic park.

Ta lots.. nice spot...
Found with VWNUTS... nd our son

Our youngest was very excited to find the playground when we arrived, so we played there for a while before attempting the cache. Had a sit down to ponder the cache and it all became apparent.

Found with Baroki Scout

VERY pleased to find that there was a park for our "not yet old enough or interested in skateboarding kids" to play in otherwise we would have been much like a herd of elephants trying to blend in amongst a sea of flamingos...

TFTC

aaaargh!,easy find while sailin' 'round tis' mornin' thankin' ye'

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

Found at 4:35am on our big cache assault in Brisbane
Thanbks Mongy

Mr Mad is not a skater boy - definitely not a skater boy. The only skateboard riding he has recently used was to sit on whilst he nailed off flooring. Never mind despite this he went to find the cache and the log was signed. Thanks for the cache.

THENANKS went out caching today with 'Liz and Bruce' and this was the eleventh of 34 finds for the day. [^] There were a few dudes doing their sk8'n thang here today but we managed to go about our business privately. Mumma NANKS spotted the cache after a bit of a search but help was required, in the form of Bruce, to retrieve it.

Skaters there today - still on school holidays! Not much interested in what else was happening around them.

TFTC

Spotted straight away and retrieved while the boys were doing their vert thing. TFTC.

Lots of skaters here this afternoon. My wife and daughter provided some cover when I reached for the cache.
Thanks Mongy

Find #41 on a big day of geocaching with Mastamak! Found at 3.40pm by Mastamak G
Kids did not want to leave this one.

Find 40 of 52 on a day out with KidzJCT.

This is certainly not one for short statured people even with climbing equipment available at GZ.

Skater kids everywhere - but too busy doing there own thing to worry about us.

Found it with African Explorer. I love this sort of cache. Well done!

Found it with Picassoface, who had the necessary acrobatic skills to get to the cache.

Have been past this one a couple of times but haven't ventured in as there were always way too many kids playing. Due to the slightly inclement conditions today, I had the place to myself. About 1 minute into my search, a little voice says "Did you lose something" "No Honey, I'm just checking for termites" "Are there any there?" "No, looks good to me" " Do you have to check the whole park" "That was the last one" Luckily I already had the cache in my hand so filled in the log as he rode away and left me with a much longer nose TFTH

Found after a short search. Must of been lucky we found pretty quickly. Out caching today with newly weds Urdera. Thanks Mongy

Spent the day caching with Bruce. Nice easy find TNLN

Have to confess I needed a hint here. So this South Australian cacher in Queensland phoned his friend Dak from Victoria who was caching in South Australia. It is a small world and getting smaller all of the time.

This was our 4th find of the day. This one took some finding too! Fortunately, we had the park to ourselves so we could conduct a thorough search.

Steve eventually found it in a spot we had all checked several times before

Its a micro, so no swaps today. Thanks for the cache!

Found with geonanna and The Happy Wanderers. Thanks for the cache Mongy

Found at 11:05am with geonanna and itchy&scratchy. Great spot for all kinds of skateboards and bikes! Thanks for the cache Mongy

First time I've ever visited a skate park, but with a cache to find, well that's different. Enjoyed watching the agility of the kids on wheels while we searched for the prize. Thanks Mongy.

This was my 4th find of the night in the company of dak's emu mob.

That chair has a post in the middle that doesn't quite reach the ground... it kind of misses the point of having the post there in the first place.

After the cache returned from the other dimension that it was hiding in the first 3 times we searched in that location, we found it easily.

I was glad we were looking for this one at night as I doubt there'd be much chance to look without watching eyes during the day.

#5 of 11 finds on my second night in Brisbane, in company with The Garner Family. I found this one at 2000. This one took us a while to find. We thought we knew where to look, and it turned out that we were correct, but we just couldn't lay eyes on it. We looked in less likely places, but kept coming back to a certain location. Hmmmmm! We read the logs, and one of them gave us a clue as to the size of the cache. We looked again with a different idea in mind, and finally found it. I made no exchange. Thanks to Mongy for the cache. Cheers, dak.

We parked the car - late at night. The sign said "gate closes at sundown". Well it was way past sundown. We surveyed other options for getting out of the carpark should they close the gate on us while we were there. None - ah well! Lucky for us, with 4 sets of eyes and an acrobat amongst us we found it before anyone came to lock us in.
Cheers Mongy

We were in the area having dinner so decided to have a crack at this one. No one around at this time of night so we soon had the cache in hand unobserved. TFTC

Sneaking into the park in the dead of night, as unobtrusive as 4 people waving torches all over the place can be, we took the opportunity presented by having dinner nearby to introduce a muggle friend to geocaching. With four sets of eyes, it took only a few minutes to locate the cache, though it was hidden nicely. TFTC! ='.'=

Got ya! I located it yesterday but could not get to it because there were too many muggles around. Returned tonight with Geo-Son and logged my visit. Very ingenous hiding spot - very well done. TFTC.

A cache we haven't found within a few k's from home was a good excuse for a twilight walk this evening. Unfortunately, though we searched high & low, & used the clue, we had no luck today. Thanks for the exercise to quite a nice little park.

I found this cache after a bit of crawling around. . Nice little park I didn't know existed. TFTC. *Overall Experience: 3*

Rated: for Overall Experience

Three skaters there when I approached. Two disappeared quickly. Timed cache retrieval with skater's run towards road, filled out log, then waited for the best moment when skater was drinking from the fountain and replaced. Just when I was getting into the car there were more skaters coming...TFTC

I prefer riding a bike meself
On a skool day there was no one around to interupt my looking for the cache [:o]
Yes! I am shocked too! Don't kids wag skool anymore?
TFTC

A night raid on a place such as this makes it easier to deal with as there is no skateboarders. A scratch of the head, and a read of the clue help find the cache. Signed log, and was on the way

Once again one of those nice little parks I never knew existed.

Nice hide

Thanks for the cache and the introduction to the area

Not so tricky at 0500 while out for a morning walk. It may have some cachers looking for guidance. TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 1:40pm. I didn't know this off-street area was here and I have driven this street, hundreds of times. The cache was a little tricky to locate. TNLNSL TFTC

No truck with skateboarding? Ollie on, dude!

Skate or Cache??? Simple answer for us...

This one took a bit to find, but i the end it revealed itself to me.. *FTF* for this cacher.. The skaters took no notice as I crawled around looking!!!

TFTC and the reason to stop. Sadly we do not share in the prize pool for the scratchie!!!
