definatly been muggled. May possibly replace when i get round to it

Did not find.
Should have looked at the web site before I tried to find it.

it appears that the cache may have been muggled. will check it out today.

Looked and looked but no find. This may have been muggled.

Had a good search of the hidey hole, but no cache. I think that this one has been muggled.

Im pretty sure i found the location, but could not find the Cache

Nice spot. never noticed this tree before.
Left bottle opener. Took Geocoin

Busy spot, especially after school gets out. It might be worth avoiding attempting this one around that time of day. Took scalpel blade (surgical blade) as I considered it too dangerous an item for any geokids that might have found it. Left nothing. Overall an interesting find. Thanks Crystal Cacher

lots of muggles

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. The description of this cache implies that the coordinates were a bit off, but GZ on my navigator had me within 1 m of the cache...Must have been a good day. I am so glad Wildlife Ben my Geoson was with me. He effected the hasty retrieval, in a high muggle location. Lou's Landshark Geocoin has stopped by for a visit....Dont get bitten!!!
TFTC TNLNSL

Nice big tree but not quite the cover you would expect. Plenty of mobile muggles and a group of cyclists who pulled up right next to GZ. Quick find when able to move in and business conducted as usual.

Question is, how did you find the hidy hole?????

Cheers

1121st find. Thanks for the cache!

Found Ok

One of those caches where you feel just weird.

took TB left cruise card and lucky coins TFTC

I tried to be careful not to attract attention of car muggles at such a busy roundabout. Put stealth mode into high gear and went for it. TFTC crystal cacher.

Was able to go and retrieve, sign and replace without too many hassles, though there weren't too mnay people about due to the drizzle.

I did like the swipe card from a hotel in the cache. I hope nobody was locked out of their rooms!

TFTC

walking to gz saw 2 people looking very suspicsious... hello to the marble and dizzyanne. easy find....

tftc.

Just found this one when agap 2 turned up. Always good to meet another cacher. Kept an eye on the neighbour's backyard to make sure no-one was looking. TFTC

Why is it always a bit of a shock when you're busted?? Agap2 arrived just as we were signing the log so he got an easy find!! Thanks - nice tree.

This was a quick "drive by" on a night tour of Toowoomba. TFTC

Found it No. 1107 ... busy corner ... Took TB and left Chinese Coins

Felt very exposed,
otherwise easy find,
cache in good condition,
Took Down Under Explorer TB,
Left Hiphop smurf TB

just the other way from home

This one was not so easy to find at first, as the GPS pointed towards some private land. After a good look around it became obvious and the cache was found quickly.
Its in good condition and contains a travelbug amongst other items.
Nothing taken and nothing left.

Thanks for the cache.

The ZZ's

[After a couple of false starts this cache was fairly simple to find, although due to its location it's a little tricky to extract and replace.
We saw our first travel bug in this one so that was a bonus for us.] We did feel a little out of place sitting by the roadside inspecting the cache and completing the log with cars going past. I mean, there is absolutely no earthy reason for anyone to loiter in this area, so you feel that each carload of people are asking themselves what the heck you are up to.

[ thanks for the cache it's a really good one in an unusual place.
It was in good condition.

The ZZ's]

Nice find, picked up travel bug and placed card in. Will drop of travel bug soon.

TNLN

Found it at about 0530 this morning with geobrat in tow. I could see why it would be a heavy muggle zone as there were muggles walking even at this hour. No TB's or GC's to be found. Good Hide and well thought of. TFTC

Found it relatively easily. No geocoins remaining. Removed business card from cache. took chalk, left dice
thanks for the cache!

will be dropping off the TB's and the Geocoin when I remember to do it

nice hide, rather exposed!

TNLN TFTC

Nice easy find with the Georugrats.

Took toy phone left playing cards

TFTC nice easy find. Great hiding spot for your first Cache

Nice easy find in a high muggle area. TNLN TFTC

Dropping off TB's

Quick find in a busy location TFTC

A nice, quick find but you certainly have to watch out for the traffic and the neighbours. Picked up the 'motogrrls' travels downunder geocoin (our first geocoin find) and will move it on to Brisbane. Thanks for the cache.

Found at 1530 today. Nice quick easy find. TNLN TFTC. Did not take any TB's or GC's If they were there as I did not look.

Last cache of the day in Toowoomba on the way home from a work meeting.

I hope the house owner is a cacher otherwise night cachers are in trouble

I didnot see the TB "Motorgrrls travels downunder.

IN TB: Postcards from OZ

will drop off sometime this week end

interesting spot for a cache? needs good timing to not be seen by so much passing traffic. left coin purse keyring taken carabeena.
TFTC

This was a great cache.

Thanks

We did this cache with the IndelibleSnupster. Personally, I found it most frustratng because both of our GPSrs were all over the place - which was surprising because there were clear skies and not a lot of tree cover. The traffic in the vicinity also frustrated us as we were sent to several locations all around the place by our changing GPSrs. So, when we finally found this cache it was a very satisfying thing indeed. Some nearby residents were taking more than a little interest in what we were up to, also. Anyway, we finally got that elusive little sucker. Thanks.

Regards,

Pseudo-Geek.

Nice easy find in an obvious spot. Even more obvious was the blue plastic lid peeping out of its hidey hole. Traffic was sporadic, so grabbing the cache didn't provide too many problems. We covered the cache better as we left. Thanks for the cache.

This required some stealth as it is on a busy (at least when we were there) intersection. Some crouching and quick writing got the job done. Thanks for the cache. Andrew and Maryan.

Good hide, a lot of traffic about it.

Quack! Found with family & fire_boy72. Good spot! =]

Nice big tree, nice easy hide, TFTC.

Found it on the way home from Toowoomba. Very busy with muggles in vehicles so stealth was used. Took clip and left photo frame. Tks Diesel48

I got this one late on the way back from Brisbane. Had my eye on it a while and never seemed to get a chance with no muggles around. This can be a very busy spot.
TFTC

Found right before heading back to Brisbane. Took nothing left a carabiner TFTH

4.35pm Nice easy find to finish our big caching day out. Put in origami Spinning top - took nothing. TFTC

Great spot. Lots of traffic though! TFTC.

I felt very exposed at gz. Thankfully I didnt have to wait to long for break in the traffic. A quick grab and sign. Cache is dry and in good condition.

Thanks CC

Easy find on a busy intersection. TFTC.
Left cable ties and took figure toys.

Very late log here. Found with Cached on a lap around Toowoomba together. TNLNSL TFTC. Bluedog.

Found on a run around town with Bluedog from Dubbo. Which is quite a combination when you think of it - I'm visiting from Adelaide, and he floated thru from Dubbo, but we managed to catch a few caches and a feed.

Be back in July for another week-long res-school.

Sam

I would recommend an after-hours trip to this one. I felt a little conspicuous (houses with windows facing the cache and lots of car traffic). TFTC!

Out on a trip to Toowoomba with Map Monkey today... Picked up this one on the way around!

Felt a bit exposed on this corner, but all ok...

TFTC TNLNSL

I knew where this one would be from the general description and rough map i had......my brother used to live around the corner.

Thanks for the cache.

Found when a member of LEDGIN'S.

Now included in the book of LEDGIN'S. Was passing by so dropped in to find this one. Great little hiding spot. Good fun. Found at 1600hrs.

Nice quick find at 1035hrs while passing through.

Found with Temingi at peak hour and felt very exposed. Suggest attempting when there's not as much traffic.

OUT: shrek doll

Found with Qldwarrior... Round and round and then we found. TFTC

Our second cache for the day... after we couldn't fit the geocoin in the last cache we visited!

Found easy enough, but trying to dodge traffic... it was so busy! Contents were a bit wet. Log book is still bagged and dry.

Left Whitebear 2006 Geocoin.
Took stone and ring.
Left stickers and Tupperware lettuce corer.

TFTC

Found with geo-uncle lat&long junkie on our day caching in Toowoomba. Pity the top has been cut, it's not so leafy now.
TFTC

Found this one with 'Bedmaker' at 9:05am. An easy find, but we think the neighbour is a bit suspicious of all the interest in his pet tree. TN/LN/SL. We liked this one so much, we returned around 11am with 'lochb' and 'Liz&Bruce' .

Found without any problem. Good to be in the company of Lat and Long junkee, Bedmaker and Lochb today. TNLN. Thanks Crystal Cacher

An easy find in a busy area. TNLN TFTC

Lots and lots of muggles! TNLN. TFTC

good fun easy find

Nice and public loved it. TFTC.

We could walk to this one because this is just around the corner from my parent's house. [^] We are just glad to be out and about and to escape the rain from home as at present it is flooding and not ideal for caching.

TFTC

Thanks for the site. Lots of Muggles, so a bit hard to look nonchalant !!!
T MacDonalds Little Miss Trouble doll
Left Homer Simpson trivia card

Definitely traded UP with this swap !!!!

A very busy place to hide. TNLN.

A nice quick easy cache, there was surprisingly little traffic here today!

Thanks Crystal Cacher for the cache.

TNLNSL

Dropped by on the way home from work at 9.45pm. Even at this hour with drizzly rain falling there were lots of mobile muggles around. Position very accurate. TFCT. TNLN.

Very easy find - just takes a while due to the amount of muggle activity in the vicinity.

A very early start to the day thanks to the GeoToddler ensured the area was muggle free for the cache find. Which is lucky really as it took two of us to finally locate the cache!
TNLN TFTC

Just a quick visit to collect 2 geocoins & visitsome other travelmates
TFTC
T 2 x geocoins
visited a few travelling companions

Dropping of Unakits German GeoCoin

The coords are close enough to locate this cache. Very busy spot this morning. Dropped off Everlasting Red Light Geocoin.

Thanks for the cache

Found by The Bolt es. Used lochb's co-ord's to find this easy cache. Sure is a busy location.
Took: rainbow ball
Put in: glitter, shrek baby, aust. idol toy.

I arrived at GZ midmorning. There was a cache roundabout here
An easy find. Lots of muggles whizzing past, but the GPS makes a great mobile phone and a great excuse to be standing by the side of the road (just remember to wave your arms around a bit)
TFTC, I busted Myth's Copper Travel Coin from the cache.

Nice one. The coords are enough to determine the cache location.
Look forward to finding more of your caches

TFTC
ianandmichele plus 2 of the boys.

Dropped keight off to go to the cache herself due to lack of close parking. Funny, she states that the orig co-ords were good for her. *shrug* Maybe it's a hardware thing

Nice hide, Lochb's coordinates are pretty spot on.
TFTC
TN
L MYTH'S copper travel coin
Visited Stickybears Stickybear TB for a look around.

Thanks matey

*FTF* - at 5.50pm, just before it was getting dark.
Lots of traffic here. Watch out for the broken glass - someone has smashed a bottle at GZ. Cache was easily located despite coords being out by 12m for me - try S27 34.863 E151 58.273 ? It may be my GPSr...
Thanks for the hide, Crystal Cacher - I hope there will be more?
