Looks like the Mugglers have now taken this one completely instead of just taking the things out of it. This was the first cache we put out - guess it has run its course. Cheers Speedmistress.
Our second attempt at this one. No luck.
Would be nice to know if it's still there or not.

Called on the way down to Brisbane. Had a good look without success.
Perhaps?
Thank you. David and Noeline.

A great spot to stop and stretch the legs.
I couldn't imagine spending the night here though with all the noise
After a lot of poking around GZ and looking in various trees, I couldn't find a cache though
The olde survey post was interesting [^]

Stopped in to grab this one on way home from Toowoomba caching expedition with Dannza and could not find Hope this means that we were worn out and loosing our touch and not that it has been muggled.
First find for the day and we are off to a great start.The container had some water in it ,empty it out as best we could ,but log book is sill quite damp .sorry we couldn,t do more to help
Easy find w family en route to Bunya Mts.
A lovely spot to stop, but quite well hidden from Muggles.

Found at dusk on the way back to Brisbane from Toowoomba. TNLN TFTC Speedmistress.
This popped up when I was Millmerrin Bound on Friday, so we decided to get it on the way back. A nice easy find today, took a feather left 50c TFTC.
Bought a picnic with us & going for a drive in our backyard.
Took: bouncey ball & good luck coins.
Put in: assorted toys.

Quick grab on the way down to Bisvegas fo the trip back to Perth ... Some TB admin as well ... T4TH
Unfortunately didn't see Tegator's Geocoin in the cache, grabbed only Couch Potato Geocoin.

Easy well covered cache. As it is close to the highway, difficult to be inconspicious.In good condition.

OOOPPPSSS - paperless caching is great except we did not see the comment about not leaving a geocoin or a travel bug behind. I am panicing now that the item we left behind will disappear. But we are now back home in Brisbane - so hopefully someone will drop in quite soon and pick it up. Our last cache for the day.
Stopped on the way back to Brisbane for this one. No TBs in residence, yet three are listed. TN/LN/SL.
Snuck this one in on the way home from the Valentine event cache in Toowoomba. Found it before the Maymyers or I would have grabbed the coin and moved it to a safer den.
Nice and quiet in the rest stop so no trouble with typical caching business.
Cheers

This was our last stop before heading back to the Redlands after the event in Toowoomba today. Quick, easy find and we even managed a little dance to the CD that was playing in the car before strapping in for the 2 hour trip home. TFTC
1114th find. We stopped by on our way to the Valentine's event in Toowoomba. It's a shame about the geocoins going missing, but more importantly the poor example being given to the kids. A nice little spot to stop. Thanks for the cache!
Another enjoyable rest stop on our way west to Oakey. Found at 1445hrs after waiting for another car to leave.
The coins listed in the cache aren't there and looking back at the logs they were probably the victims of the muggling. If this is the case then perhaps they need to be updated to missing.
Thanks for the break.

This is another place that I normally would drive past. I know the site well from the car on the road but not from close up.
I always look over as I drive past as often there are some lovely mobile homes parked for an overnight on this site.
For a small park it is very well equipped, which I suppose is a part of the attraction for the 'grey nomads'.
On this day there had been a Summer storm and the place was pretty wet. That wouldn't usually matter except my GPS really wanted me to walk through some long grass which I did, only to find that it had lied, and I had had no need to do so at all. I blame the power lines I was under at the time.
Once the GPS had got over it's brainstorm I got back on track and soon found the cache.
It was in good condition and contained many swappables.
We took the ha'penny and left a car and a soccer ball. We'll place the ha'penny in another cache soon, maybe with a penny that I have been hoarding, that's to cover inflation.
A nice cache and I'm a little surprised that it gets muggled as I didn't think it likely to accidentally find this one. C'est la vie.
Thank you for the cache.

We finally got round to doing this one in daylight. Everytime we pass here it seem to be too dark to cache. Today however, there was plenty of light.

This is No 1 on a trip to the big smoke for a shopping trip. Did not find any Geocoins but I am finally in the swing with finding these things. TFTC

we made sure it was well hidden in same spot.

Finding muggled caches seems to be becoming a habit
A heap of litter at GZ wasn't a good sign, then saw the cache exposed with no covering whatsoevering. The note in the log indicated that it was found by some muggles yesterday, who have left a few unsavoury comments in the cache log. Looks like the geocoins that should be in there fell victim to them, as their message said that they took the coins and left some coins - well there's some australian coins there, but no geocoins. Their message also said that they took some of the toys: "f* your game, kids come first". Charming.
Anyway, removed the litter, replaced the cache, and covered it well so hopefully the next lot of muggles don't see it.

Found by baby&Mrs gopher on our quick trip to the area from The Rock .Found at 1420 as we had a short stop to stretch the limbs after a couple of hours of sitting.TN Left 2 TB's Tnx Speedmistress
Lots of rain lots of wet grass and a little error by me (.188 instead of .158) had me saturated, cold and on the wrong side of the highway before commonsense prevailed and I checked coords. Quick find then.

Found quickly. Easy find. took TB Witchybein- Shadow Shape and left mini sharpie pen. TFTC
Have visited this cache before but forgot to log it on the net. Thought I would do the right thing and stop again and sign the log again. This time not forgetting to log the find. Took TB Witchybien - Shadow Shape and left Endian 2007 GC TFTC SL again.[:o)]
Although I have been to the Tick clearance centre just up the track I have never called into the park before. So today on the way home from Toowoomba the time was right.
Nice hide in a park to enable caching away from muggle view. TFTC

Called in for a rest and found a cache. Took Batman TB to keep it moving. Thanks for the cache!
Found on way back from carnarvon gorge. took newberry travel bug, left batman travel bug.
Stopped for a rest on the way back from camping and found this one quickly. Left the Super Swimmers Scoobie TB to have a rest as well. Thanks for the cache. Andrew and Maryan.
Too easy, and yes, Ledgins made them all harder after this trust me… However I have paid my “Ledgins penance†and it was almost as if they owed me an easy one.

Quick drive by on the way to Brisbane. Lots of traffic passing, but no taking any notice of little old me. TFTC
Had to answer the call of nature so what better way to do it than at this resting spot, and find a cache as well. TFTC
Found this one on a drive west. Had to outsit some muggles that were having a nice long chat in the vicinity. Clever location. T - frog. L - superball. TFTH.
Found with temingi. Finally stopped in at this one only to find we were the 3rd set of visitors for the day! No swaps. TFTC
This was a nice easy find in a very nice place which was quiet, despite all of the traffic nearby. Thanks for causing us to stop and have a look around.

On the way out to Goondiwindi for the weekend and thought I would have to grab a cache or two as the Gundi area is virtually a cache free zone. This one and a few others made it a barely bearable caching weekend!!!
I too, know this area well, and used to swim hear as a kid. Seems like an eternity since it was used regularly for that!!!

Heading west for a week in the cold at Carnarvon Gorge when we hadn't got far and the first toilet stop was required. Any excuse for a cache. TFTC
Another find for Miss Steve! She was really in the zone today! The cache contents are dry and in good condition.
This is a lovely little place we've never stopped at before - thanks for the reason to do so today!

By the time I made it to this one it was dark, which made it a bit harder, but still found it pretty quick.
I used to drive past this park every week when I was stiding in Toowoomba TFTC.
10.35am Nice place to relax and stop. Left origami spinning top and took a toy turtle.
Great spot to take a break. It was very popular around lunch time today.
Found the cache without any problems. Cache is dry and in good condition.
Thanks
No-one around when I went for this cache today - quick find although I felt everyone driving past was watching me...
I had stopped at this place before to find a place to hide a cache, but then never placed it. Thanks for putting out all these caches, LEDGIN's! TFTC

Too many people around today - including council workers, and someone mowing the lawn. Will be back.
Found at about 10am. Like the owner said this would be an easy one. I have been waiting for a cache to appear here and drove past yesterday thinking about putting one in. Got home and checked my emails only to find that LEDGINS had done so.
