Yes it appears that the cache has been muggled. thanks to everyone that ever found this cache

GPSr took us to a very likely spot with geotrail all around. Could not find the cache.

Till next time.

What a sad day for us, yet another one I believe has gone walkabout, could the owner please check on it.

Weel hidden. The log paper is running out fast. TFTC

Easy find! Good spot!! The Rubbies

Luckily we went to this cache on Sunday when there was no sports on. Nice easy Find TFTC

This turned out to be an easy find with nobody around to hinder the search and was quickly located and the lo signed. Interesting story here one which I had no idea about so thanks.Signed log and was on our way.

Saturday Morning muggles with sport. Didn't have much of a chance.

Drove past this one yesterday but with Saturday sports on muggle activity was particularly high. Came back this morning with noone around and made an easy find with the clue. Thanks!

Found it fairly easily - cool hiding place. TFTC.

Arrived at GZ to find muggle central. Some sporting activity was going on on the field and it was very busy. Silver Sovereign, GIB69 and I decided to approach GZ anyway, to see whether the grab was still possible.... Yep, it sure was... [^]

Nice little hidy hole and surprisingly deep. Hats off to Snapper for ensuring the container was coverred well... I was fossicking for a while before I had the container in hand.

Cheers Crystal Cacher

Found with Gib69 and Gunnie69.

A nice and easy find...

Found with Gunnie69 and Silversovereign, quick find by Gunnie69 TFTC

Found nice one.T.F.T.C

Quick find with Straddie Heaven. TFTC

Yep womens intuition and the small track leading straight to the cache site certainly helps. Found with Dannza on a caching expedition of Toowoomba. We learnt about another piece of Toowoomba's history. TFTC!

We searched a bit, and Shorty Mrs Wandrr came up with it eventually thus proving that height helps but isn't essential!

Thanks!
Wandrr and Mrs Wandrr, Ottawa, Canada

Walked up to GZ and Mr yv said that its there. Mr al asked how she knew as she is not tall enough to have seen it. She just said she knew. Trouble was she was right. Women's intuition I suppose.
Good hide TFTC

found with plexy TNLN TFTC

found easily with jetmadchic, yes my height helped, replaced as found.

Quick find but over excited geokid hit himself in the eye with a toy. Had a little sit down and then on to the next cache. TFTC

Second attempt at this one as too many muggles picnicing in the park first time round. Nice spot. Cache OK.

Found and logged at 11.35
TFTC

Found this one on the 2rd time around. TFTC

easy find. Log is slightly damp. TFTC.

Found it after a bit of a search. A local resident was keeping a bit of a watch on me so I didn't want to hang around for too long and had to be careful.

This cache has a lot of history behind it. Nell must have been a great woman, well ahead of her time.

After failing to find the Valentines Event cache, we toodled off for some lunch and then thought we'd try a couple more. This one proved to be an easy stop and lifted our spirits a bit

Found Ok

Easy find this cache, as I have the right head for heights! Powellbruce rolled up while I was there and joined in the joys of the cache.

Nice little park this one!

easy find. great work on the history lesson!!

thanks crystal cacher.

16:14 another one handed to me chasing Ozibags this time.
TFTC

Nice park, one of the last for the long long day.

The GPS pointed me to a particular tree and, after a groan, I set to work locating the cache. Found it without too much trouble after mentally toughing through my initial reaction. TFTC Crystal Cacher.

very easy used stick to push out of the tree

Valentines in Queens park weekend turning out to be our most successful day of caching for Ally-Searching & myself.

Quick bearing on GPS, stroll across the park & "a Hey Dad i have it" where all it took as Ally Struck again - young eyes (& no preconceived ideas help).

Signed Log

Pleasant location for a hide (just had to dodge a couple of muggles)

Found it No. 1124 ... TNLN

Curious muggles at this one. I was looking in and around a tree with my wandering GPSr fix for 5 mins when confronted by a couple asking what I was up to. Flashing my nurses badge( too quickly), I told them that I was a DPI Arboreal scientist doing a research project on Toowoomba parkland tree diseases. That I was taking samples for Lab work later on. After they left and I was ready to give up, I rechecked my coordinates to find that GPSr settled down and that I was looking in the wrong tree. Took another 30 sec to locate. Still laughing at my convincing lie though. TFTC

3/8 for a quick afternoon dash after work
Found at 301434KJAN09
Another quick find to bring a smile back after looking for the last cache only to find it is off line when I went to fill in a DNF. That makes two that we looked for that are off line today…

Nice easy find but pretty high. TFTC

Looked in a lot of high places. yet to find....

Found easily while taking the long way home after Christmas celebrations with relatives. TFTC

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Easy find this morning. TFTC

Easy find late in the day. Tftc

A quick find on my first day in Toowoomba. Another of the many nice parks in the city.

We set out to get 2 more caches to reach the 14 century mark. It was early and we found it quick so it was on to number 25. TFTC

Second visit to this one. Found it where I looked the first time, just had to feel around with my hand a bit more.

TFTC SL

Easy quick find at 1655. TFTC

I love these caches where you come away with more knowledge as well as the satisfaction of finding another cache. Lovely spot, too. Thank you for this cache.

A quick find but had to be careful of the netball crowd on a Saturday morning.
TFTC!

Thirteenth for the day, and it was a working at that. good thing I work for myself or I would fire me !!!
Nice easy find.
TFTC

An easy find in a convenient park. TFTC

Quick find ont the way through to Stanthorpe. TFTC

Nice easy find, good hide.

Steve spotted the blue lid as we approached GZ. Had to wait for a muggle to pass by before grabbing the cache. We covered it better when we left. Thanks for the cache!

Good hide, well done.

Nice quick one, did it on my way home town. TFTC

Quack! Found within easy reach (for me that is). TFTC =]

I got a great little history lesson reading the notes as I leant on Nell's sign, waiting for a muggle to clear the area
It were'nt too hard to find
TFTC.

A quick retrieval - at eye height, TFTC,.

Excellent hide. Walked past it twice before I found it.

Found easily on windy afternoon.
TFTC

Excellent hide. Had to think about it before we found it. Tks Diesel48.

Found at 1535hrs. Could not have parked closer unless I had driven into the park. Lovely hide. Found it quickly. The clue did help and thankfully I am. TFTC.
Signed log as LEDGIN'S.

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1535hrs. Could not have parked closer unless I had driven into the park. Lovely hide. Found it quickly. The clue did help and thankfully I am. TFTC.

12.40pm - Nice park and easy find.. TFTC

A quick find. Thanks.

Very busy here this afternoon. It looked like a netball carnival. Thankfully the spectators were more interested in the games

Thanks

Found this log on a cool crisp morning walk. The clue certainly helped. Also the clue to the last cache.

Forgot to write down the travel bug number so swung by today to write it down so I can transfer bug. It was a perfect size for this cache

Good spot, had to be quick as I went at a busy time of day. TFTC

Again, easily found today along with baraclan. The nice spot to sit down for a picnic nearby came in handy to fill out the log.

Nice quick find at 1140hrs. Thanks for the history lesson too.

TFTC

Trying to do all the Toowoomba caches... This is a nice one to add to my small but growing list. TFTC!

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

Being a Toowoomba born and bred boy, I certainly remember Nellie and the work she did!!!

Finally found it, this time it stood out from 2m away.

Thanks for the cache.

Arriving at GZ, we knew it must be somewhere around!
and there it was.

Searched for some time, though being small doesn't help

Will be back to knock this one off the list.

TFTC. The hint helped

Found with Temingi. Didn't take too long. TFTC

Found with Qldwarrior. Good we have been to Longreach. TFTC

On the way to uni! (Psych honours residentials)

Thanks - walked over with breakfast from Maccas.

With Shelleybear.

Cached from SA.

Found with geo-uncle lat&long junkie on our day caching in Toowoomba. L&L Junkie retrived it while I kept a look out. Nice spot for a hide. TFTC.

Glad I had 'Bedmaker' there to act as lookout. I always feel a bit self-conscious groping trees in public parks . TN/LN/SL

This cache is right near the caravan park we are staying in.

Didn't even have to drive to this one as we are parked at the caravan park across the road. Found the cache without any problem. Thanks Crystal Cacher

Found in between rain periods. Interesting to note the different 'cache location indicators'. In the bush you often see distinct tracks whereas here it was more a circle. TFTC.

nice one crystal , plenty of folks about .

A good bit of history and another great spot for a cache. TFTC.

Easy find. Cache is dry. TFTC

A lovely park and with some history too. Always like caches that take me to an interesting place or one with an historical background.

Cache in good condition

TFTC, found during a "necessary evil" road trip to Toowoomba.

Unfortunately due to a very limited time frame, we could only seek out 3 caches, and had 2 DNF's, I was just wishing that we had more time to seek out other caches in the area.... Maybe next trip we can allocate more time.

We are starting to get the hang of this series. It is easy to see what flavour your favourite lollies are. The Mini Inks are a bit put out by the fact that they are Micros with no swaps.

TFTC

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

Cache still in good condition, Nice and dry.

Found this easily enough, after a long walk. (for a lesser walk, park at the end not near the instrument)

Found with Donna and son Mitchell.

Found it just before the heavens opened, we hid under the pavilion and waited for the rain to ease.

Found it eventually. 3rd of 4 today.The gps had a bit of a pink fit and couldn't decide which direction to point.Took it for a short walk and spoke firmly to it and it came good.
