Holden on Toowoomba East, Queensland, Australia
By Crystal Cacher on 12-Oct-07. Waypoint GC16KRE

Found as a part of TeamBellingham (11/6/11)

If the owner can not take a hint from the two DNF's and the big gap since the last log because I am certain most cachers are ignoring attempting this one till the CO checks this one out.

I think it is time this one is put to rest. Of course this will remove a waypoint from the series. A pity.

I was in Toowoomba today and I also had a look and could not find it where I found it before.

I no longer live in Toowoomba so it is hard for me to maintain the caches that i have there. I did check this on the last time i was there and sadly it does look like its been muggled. thanxs to all those who have found it over the years and made help me have a positive geocaching experience.

Out caching with with Triciac2 and Grabey744
They have tried this one in the past but still no luck. Maybe it has fallen off the fence [?]

looked and looked with other Geo cachers, and we did not find,

I'm sure this cache is gone. Our third time and today we accidently met Grabey744, our first Geocacher, in the field.

Both of us (all 4 of us) had a hard look and did a few extra "mayby its this or that" , but, GZ indicated the count and coords as correct to the hint. We are both sure its gone..Could the owner check and notify. Fun looking tho

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

Power caching with Fangsoki and gaz'n'kab today and we went straight to the GZ co-ords. Fangsoki had found this one before but it wasn't until I went back and read the clue regarding cylinders and counted some posts that we located the cache. TFTC.

We pulled the car up nearby, with Fangsoki and Captain Terror and when we arrived at GZ, it was a fairly quick find

Signed the log and were on our merry way

Did this with krossbow but hadn't set up an account so came back to sign the log. TFTC

A quick find but on a wet cold day my hands were freezing by the time I dragged it out.

We found this cache, quicker than we found a carpark.

Last cache for the day. I knew my cars and I knew how to count. What I was looking was a much smaller cache and just couldn't see it. Again those shoelaces came in handy. The place was filled with muggles playing basketball. Muddtrax created a distraction and the cache was found and signed. TFTC

Nice uick find right where it said it was
TFTC

Our 5042nd overall find.

I had this one in the GOS from a previous trip so today we came and made a quick find. It's nice to cross this one off since I tried for the original cache in 2007.

Thanks to Crystal Cacher for the cache.

Quick find on my way home from work. There was a muggle trying to sell a car at the dealership but I was able to grab the cache & replace it without too much trouble. TFTC

Introduced a new person to caching when we found this one TFTC

good to do a multi TFTC

Nice cache spot with history thrown in TFTC Crystal Cacher

Doing a few caches by night in my hometown with a friend.

Strange multi setup... we walked straight to the given waypoint and Fangsoki quickly found the cache... TFTC Crystal Cacher

Lokipagan and I were a little confused on this one intiially - but we soon sorted what was going on. We used our sound knowledge of vehicles and started too look I found the cache after a bit of a hunt. It was a little damp - but we could still sign the log. TFTC Crystal Cacher

WOW.. I dont like holden..rather i like FORD are best...hide well.. thank

A bit cods in Tbar this morning but a quick find.

Fairly quick find on a trip to Toowoomba today. TFTC

In Toowoomba for the Queensland Primary Schools Hockey Titles.I managed a few hours this afternoon to nab a few local caches TFTC

Yep, this one is still holden on SL TFTC

Found it after a bit of confuse.. reread.. try that.. ah found it..of course it makes sense.

0820 Found with young Fang Shaw. Had a bit of time before the music festival began.
Thanks for getting us out.
Brought through B2B ingot

I found this while on the heels of my master, together we made a concert of efforts to get me up to speed with finding caches. Soon I will be locating caches with my own efforts 100%.
TY

Found this with little difficulty, although I did have to adjust my thoughts on just what sort of engine can typically top out in a production car.
TFTC

Armed with the issues explained in the previous logs, I managed to eventually find this one

Thanks crystal cacher, nice little multi and I liked the bit of history attached to this one too... who would have known??

after some searching I finally spotted what ould only be...TFTC Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Found in a slightly precarious position, I'd say the magnets have become demagnetised or aren't strong enough, but found nonetheless! TFTC ='.'=

Found it No. 2286 ... after a study of the cache it was easy ... TNLN

It's only now that we understand the hint. Found the cache without too much trouble. Noted hint & only 2 more caches to go.

TFTC

This was an easy find today as the cache container was lying in the garden bed next door in the car yard. Managed to get my hand through under the fence to retrieve it.

Anyhow signed the log and returned.

The owner might want to have a quick look as there don't appear to be enough strength.

Thanks for interesting cache.

TFTC

Found good one Multi cache .T.F.T.C

Quick find @ 10:12AM today on our way home from the Meringandan Pub Geolunch yesterday....

Thankfully on Sunday there is no traffic to worry about - had tried for this last night but too many people playinng on the courts nearby (who seemed to also be watching everything happening around )

Neat hide & informative cache for non-locals

SLTNLN

Thanks for the cache

Found quite quickly after we found the right fence, which took a while. My ability to interpret the multicache instructions was somewhat impaired at 11.00pm. My newbie sister's second find. TFTC Crystal Cacher.

Wow, cars coming and going, mechanics walking around but we are stealthy cachers. TFTC

Quick find. Lots of activity next door but managed to replace without being seen. TFTC

Nice easy micro, but we had to be careful of muggles.

Thanks!

Picking the right time to investigate this one certainly pays off. No dealership staff, no basketballers, and no joggers today. TFTH.

Found at 1730Hrs at my second attempt. Last time there were people in the dealership watching me very closely (must have been a slow day) so I had to abandon the hunt. Today there was no one about. Thanks Crystal Cacher.

Found a t 2.15 lovely shady tree near by ,this is our first Multi cache ,so we thought we were realy clever.LOL

Found on a recent romp around Toowoomba. Not a bad cache. watch out for people looking to by cars.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. Got it YAY!! can you believe this was my third attempt...Doesn't Jag have a V12?

Found Ok

The Little Fuddleys played on playground while I did this quick 2 point multi, new power poles going in next to the cache site, but they were too busy to notice what I was up to.[^] TFTC

no 7 of 8 caches found after attending the meeting in Queens Park. A bit tricky because all mrs knows about cars is that they have 4 wheels,and it was her turn to find the next cache.A bit of help and she had it. Thanks. TNLN Silky Seekers.

Quick find at 1230 today. TFTC

This took a little looking before the clue revealed the location. TFTC

Interesting place and after looking at 12 Posts realised Holdens do not. Thanks for a good cache

John and Helen

Not the usual type of hide, liked the imagination in placing this one. Also interesting about the site if the old Pressy church.
TFTC

In Toowoomba for Father's Day dinner at Weis but couldn't find this cache.
Thanks anyway.

Found during a weekend visiting relatives.
TFTC

Found with geomum while spending the weekend in Toowoomba. Plenty of people using the nearby park, but no stealth needed as cache had slipped into garden and was completely exposed. Replaced as best as possible to prevent the same happening.

TFTC Cheers

Being a Saturday afternoon, the car yard was quiet today. As we approached GZ, we could see the cache, it was completely uncovered which made it a very easy find! We covered it better when we left. Thanks for the cache.

Good hide, got it while no one was around.

hello my fellow, this one took a min/2. we started to kick the the leaves i went past it but than realed it was there.

Found with Toey97 she step over but didn't see it, I then found it under her legs.

An interesting little read
After contemplating the possible meanings of building a car lot here, I strolled around to the service area to look for the cache. No not that sort of service, the other sort of service [:o]
Definitely a bit of stealth needed here to avoid distracting the workers from their tasks. The GPS 'phone' came in uesful
Found the cache after a few minutes, Oh! What a feeling !
TFTC.

As Wingaap said, an easy find in suburbia. TFTC.

I teamed up with WitchPig to find this one. A nice easy find.

Thanks CC

Found this one on Anzac Day 2008, just on dusk. I was dropped off after visiting an aging parent in a retirement village and had a few moments of daylight left, managing to find it easily, thanks to the hint. Nothing taken, nothing left. Cheers.

I was 'holden on' to the tree in peak hour traffic. No luck with this one. Had not read the hint. Will try again.

Found today easily. TFTC.

Found this one just after lunch on a Saturday (in the company of lochb who had found this one a while ago). Lots of traffic to watch out for but some swift handiwork nabbed me the cache and had it returned safely in a matter of moments. TFTC.

Found when a member of LEDGIN'S.

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1730hrs. This cache held an important lesson for us. Read the whole page!!!!!! Made a goose of myself in front of the peak hour traffic!!!!!! Good history lesson also. I reakon I have walked past this corner many times and not seen the cairn. Thanks for this grand little Multi.

A fun little multi with an interesting bit of history. Found at 1100hrs.

TFTC

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

The hide certainly seemed to be pretty insecure.. Maybe a magnet sometime and a bit of paint to hide it better??

But, last clue collected, on to the bottlebrush!!

TFTC TNLNSL

Took some time to find as it was well covered....similiar to as we left it.

Found with Temingi. Fairly easy and quick find. No muggles around this afternoon. SL TFTC

Found with qldwarrior. SL TFTC

Tried to find this one a few weeks ago but didin't have all the information needed so came up short. Armed with all the required bits of info found this on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

TFTC.

TFTC. A bit tricky to start with especially with the amount of traffic.

Found with geo-uncle lat&long junkie on our day caching in Toowoomba. L&L Junkie said everything in his log, why add to the embarrassment. TFTC

Received a phonecall from 'lochb' on the way to this one. "I'm here with 'Liz&Bruce', we'll watch you find it". Oh dear, the pressure was on then. Suitably intimidated, 'Bedmaker' and I exited the car without our GPS receivers. There's the fence. How hard can it be? After a few minutes, SOMEONE said, "what are you doing? There's the fence over there". [B)] The search was not going well . Counted the posts and then still took ages to find the cache. With Bruce standing over us like a severe school master , we finally had the logbook signed and made our way sheepishly back to the car [8]. It all went much better at the next couple of caches, but you just know that they'll remember the "bad one" .

Collected the info we needed from this busy spot and then off to find the cache. Took us a little while to find what we were looking for. We also collected the other piece of data we needed for the ongoing cache. Thanks Crystal Cacher

Easy find. TFTC

We got a bit confused at the start when we went started at the cairne and started counting fence posts. We then realised that all we had to do was go to the final location co-ords and look. We had the cache quickly in hand.

TFTC

Found time and headed out to get this one, nice easy find.

Cache still in good condition, Nice and dry.

Quite an easy find, although it has taken me a couple of days to find a time when the muggle activity was minimal enough to make it safe.
FTF the new cache! TFTC, TNLNSL.

[This entry was edited by grahamf72 on Friday, January 04, 2008 at 3:56:08 AM.]

back in place with co-ords updated.

final location waypoint co-ords have been updated cache will be back in place by the end of the week end.

Ah, one of the risks of caching on holidays, we came here today and thought that we would be the ones to report it being muggled but we were a day or two late!

Thanks anyway for the cache Crystal Cacher. I was looking forward to getting the clue contained within but it wasn't to be. Will this cache be back and running again before Christmas?

TNLNSL

Tried this one this morning before work, but no luck - now that I'm home and see the cache disabled and I know why. It was amazing the number of muggles around at 5:30am!!

it has been muggled. will replace soon

I must have driven past this corner a hundred times and never noticed the cairn.
Pretty clever hiding spot.
Thanks for the cache.

Found by The Bolt es. Very busy location today.

*FTF*!!! Quick find just before the Thunderstorm hit...thanks for the history and cache!
