Ant's Story Everton Hills, Queensland, Australia
By PesceVerde on 07-Feb-08. Waypoint GC19674

I think Ant's spirit remains but the cache is now archived.

I'm pretty sure that the cache was above the water level. The hiding place is still there but the cache is gone from it's place.
I won't be replacing it, but the listing is only temporarily disabled for the moment.

Ant may yet have the final word?

I looked low and high, poked and prodded likely hiding spots but after a good 15 minutes had to give it up as the mozzies were threatening to carry me off. There are signs that the area has recently been flooded so I hope the cache hasn't been washed away.

Found at 10.45am, cache was nice and dry even though it was a bit muddy underfoot. Left pathtag, thanks PesceVerde.

Found the cache after first reading Ant's story.
Thanks for the cache

Found with Geonanna and Lead Ninja, after geonanna disposed of syringes etc, she'd seen in the park. We found the cache nice and dry. TFTC

great little park
thanks for the cache and hunting

Found, TNLN. TFTC

oops, wrote 14/01/10 in log book. Was mostly uncovered and recovered bit better when leaving.

Found with La Kedi

Nice and close to home, though a sad story. TFTC. ='.'=

TFTC, 6yo Geokid had this one in seconds! Dropped Off TB Too Slow Robo, picked up TB Golden Gate.

TFTC nice park few mozzies around now.

Luckily rhe cache was in a cool spot. It was sweltering in the sun today.

Dropped of the Golden Gate TB

A beautiful and peaceful spot. Also surprised that there is no M2M cache here. Ant's Story is sad but his place is peacful. TFTC

Caching in Brisbane while waiting for geohubby to finish in a conference. How many can I get going from closest to closest bouncing my way around the northern suburbs? 35, before boredom sunk in and I went back to a friends to eat icecream. TFTC

Found after a nice stroll through the park. Surprised there wasn't a mountains to mangroves cache here! TNLNSL. TFTC PesceVerde

Nice hide and lovely old park.........

Always wanted to have a look around here, it looked nice driving past.
A nice peaceful spot and stroll, found the cache OK and also the nearby one.

Second time lucky, aided with three additional pairs of eyes and a new GPS we finally found the cache, thanks.

GPS starting getting a bit scratchy.

Nice spot for a break though.

Thanks Pesceverde

Found it on our big trip around Australia. Thanks for all your aussie caches guys. MaJa

Geowife grabbed it.

319 - Found this one fairly easily at 2:25pm. A nice memorial and story, glad you bought us here. TFTC PesceVerde.

Had a good search around the area. Took a bit of a search without GPS.

Find no. 43 and our first using a GPS! Makes it ALOT easier than map-to-ground. Hehe.

Second for the day TNL Compass Button SL TFTC

Nabbed this one straight after another nearby cache. EZ to spot with a cachers eye. TNLNSL TFTC

This one is nicely tucked away and no surprise that it survived the torrents. I managed to park along side GZ which was a fluke as I was trying to find an entry point to the other nearby cache....

Having a look around, the water damage in this area is quite obvious. Mother nature is no woman to be messing with....

Cheers PesceVerde.

Did a maintenance run on some of my caches today. This one escaped the water and is AOK.

Found some good spots to place caches around the GZ. However we failed to find anything, lots of debris around from the recent deluge. Maybe the cache floated off or got burind, at least thats our excuse.

Indeed a very peaceful little park. Took out Aussie Cocktail Flags and put in a NOVA 106.9 Lanyard. Also placed a Blue Gold Geocoin. TFTC.

Kms for my TB Shirt recording all Caches I have been to.

Pulled in on the way home from work, TFTC Took TB LN SL

Another strike from Black Ops
TNLN Not even foot prints

Lovely spot

Found it No. 1330 ... plenty of mozzies ... Took TB and left Chinese Coins

Ahh yes, it is a peaceful spot. Love that traqnquil little trickle of water and the shady grass. Found Ant's story as well as the cache. Signed the log and left the Blue Jeep 4x4 # 0001 TB, took nothing. Could have spent a bit of time here relaxing, but you know how it is ... GZs to visit, caches to find [^].

A lovely spot along a creek line. A nice easy find. Pa Ogre and No:4 found it at the same time.

Left TB pumkin man

Thanks for the cache

Haven't heard of ant before but the road was named after my great grand father so had to have a look while visiting family nearby. TNLNSL TFTC

Over here from Perth on a geocaching/visit-the-family holiday. Out today caching with Questing4. A nice easy find for the first one of the day. TFTC.

Found it, 1 of 18 that we did today. TFTH

Found this one today after a stressfull day at work.

From DrPam's Book of Wisdom:
Have calm thoughts.
Picture calm scenes.
Recall calm sounds.
And guess what you'll be feeling....

Over visiting family. Had a bit of spare time so what do you do but a few caches. Bit hotter than home.
Quick find but the GPS was doing a merry dance.
Thanks for the cache.
Cheers TT

What nice little area for a walk, TFTC

Second attempt at this one, however this time I was armed with a GPSr.

It's much, much easier that way

TFTC

What a sad story - particularly for the mother. Quick find. TFTC

Well imagine my surprise as i rock up to the cache location and a huge flood of cache dejavue hits me. I'd found this and numerous others on 21 feb 08 with witchpig.

Better log it again Didn't sign logbook the second time.

At 15:25. TNL crocheted hairpin. Thanks PesceVerde. Our 3rd of yours today.

We spyed it from the wrong side of the creek, so found our way across and soon had the cache in hand. Its such a pretty little area and so peacefull near the creek. TFTC.
IN: Marble and Pez Dispencer
OUT: TB and Dinosaur

Found easily after several DNF's in the area. Left Hermine TB to celebrate a find, took nothing. TFTC

We took the long walk in and our GPSr took us to the right spot. Left a toy. TFTC

An easy find, picking up the odd cache in the area today.

Quick find today after finding Dog's Life up the road.

Cache is enabled. The fallen branches here have been sliced and diced, and the area cleaned up.

The cache has been disabled until storm debris can be cleaned up in the area.

Found with a slight drizzle today, but still a pleasant park.
Read Ant's story - a fitting tribute in this calm oasis!
Cache looks exactly the same as it did yesterday (see picture below)
TNLN - forgot to bring the swaps with me, and too lazy to go back to the geochariot. TFTC.

Found the cache at 12.15pm. Lovely park and creek... Took: Millhouse TB and SL. Thanks PesceVerde for organising the cache and hunt.

Like the previous logger, we walked around as the GPSr was going psycho. After deciding to go back to clear sky, & using my old GPSr as an extra confirmation, we found this easily.

OUT: Lipstick shaped Eraser
IN: Dinosaur

TAKEN: TB (Scoobie)
DROPPED: "Millhouse" TB

Nice evening for a cache on the way home. Had issues with GPS under cover, but eventually found it.

Second last for the day- straight to it. TFTC!

In Brissy for a caching blitz with Steeba and Big Matt. You gotta love it when your mate is scratching around some distance away and you walk straight up to it.
2nd last for the night. Thanks

This was in a completely different area to where we expected. Took bionicle. Left frame. SL. TFTC.

ADV jumped the stream, I took the bridge

I came looking for the Mountains to Mangroves sign to place another cache in my series, but you beat me to it.... Nice spot
TFTC

Wouldn't have minded experiencing a bit of that calm you mentioned but for us we wanted to find quite a few today so we didn't stop to smell the roses as the saying goes.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Fourteenth for the day and cache one hundred and sixteen on day five of our Brisvegas trip, the cache was found at 1310 in the company of chewinprickles and robmc. The water had really bean barrelling through here, fortunately the cache was still ok. This was a nice park with plenty of bird life. Thanks Pesce Verde for the cache.

A quick stop for another cache along side the Cabbage.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found a way to cross the creek. Thanks for bringing us here.

#09 for the day after a late start for caching, but then again, cacher is a cacher any time of day

Out: Geocoin

Greetings from South Africa

Found this one in the first place I looked while the kids played on the swings just around the corner.

In: Geocoin.

Out for the day with GreenGecko's tidying up a few of the caches in the area... easy find...

TFTC TNLNSL

Caching with Rastas today and this one was quickly found. TFTH

This was our sixth cache of the day with our geobuddies the MadMyers. Young Freaky Geeky had the GPSr for this one and after what must have looked like a drunken wander we found the cache! The pirate stickers caught the eye of THE CHUNKY MONKEY, so out they came and we put a 'Transformer' toy in.

We didn't see a coin or bug in the cache. I hope they're safe.

Thanks 4 the cache.

out and about with the HH's. TFTC

Out this afternoon for a spot of caching with Angermanagement TFTC.

In the car on the way home we were singing "We are the champions..." and the Partridge Family WE AINT

Woohoo! this one marked 100 geocache finds for Stinky Bill Very exciting for us to reach this milestone - we are enjoying the geocaching experience heaps!

Picked up: "Carp Lake River (MI)" Red Jeep Travel Bug
Dropped off: Speedo Travel Bug and South Pointing Chariot Geocoin

Can't wait to get the next 100 under way... well maybe after some dinner... and a sleep

I don't think MrMad took the time to read Ant's story - what a pity - I may have to make tracks back with the geokids to read the story. Thanks for the cache.

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

OK, so I got a dose of guilt for sending the Islamorada TB to the wrong side of the globe... so I'll send it back on its way and swap it for a cute little red Jeep which hitch-hiked its way over with me from California.

Thanks for bringing us to a beautiful and enjoyable part of Brisbane that we otherwise would not have reason to visit.

Yep it's a lovely little spot down in the glade
All freshly mown too
It didn't make finding the cache any easier though. I eventually found the right spot
A little blue and orange kingfisher sitting in the nearby tree above the creek was wondering what I was hoping to catch
TFTC, I took the Diabetes Awareness TB and the "J" travel bug. Dropped in Isalmorada Florida Bug

Found with Lara Croft. this proved to be a quick easy find and on to Dogs life near by which had more ant at than tis one.

Tagged along with Dizzyanne and DisSister to find this one. What a beautiful memory for Anthony. TFTC

A TB needing placing gave me a good excuse to go and hunt for this one. Been meaning to drop by every time I drive past but never got around to it.
Dropped off Unite for Diabetes TB.
TFTC

Found this with DisSister. Lovely little spot with a sad and beautiful story attached. Thanks

Another spot Mongy had earm marked for a cache, relatives live on the other side of the creek. It is a nice area. Found cache and headed off.

Found at 1108 with Stuanch Gang & Lara Croft after a quick search in the shade.

A relatively new cache and time to burn had map monkey and I hunting it down. No ants which is good. TFTC.

I love a rideby- come past here often and had even previously checked out the bridge as a possible cache spot. TFTC
