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.
 
24-Oct-09
Our second attempt at this one. No luck.

Would be nice to know if it's still there or not.
 
05-Sep-09
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 Smile
After a lot of poking around GZ and looking in various trees, I couldn't find a cache though Sad
The olde survey post was interesting [^]
 
19-Jul-09
Searched far and wide and couldnt find it .. Sad
 
08-Jul-09
Stopped in to grab this one on way home from Toowoomba caching expedition with Dannza and could not findSad Hope this means that we were worn out and loosing our touch and not that it has been muggled.

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.

Decided to just dip the cheesocoin in here because of the muggle problems.

Bought a picnic with us & going for a drive in our backyard.
Took: bouncey ball & good luck coins.
Put in: assorted toys.
 
08-Mar-09
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.
 
15-Feb-09
Easy well covered cache. As it is close to the highway, difficult to be inconspicious.In good condition.
TFTC TNLN
 
15-Feb-09
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.
 
15-Feb-09
Stopped on the way back to Brisbane for this one. No TBs in residence, yet three are listed. TN/LN/SL.
 
15-Feb-09
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
 
15-Feb-09
oooops too, paperless caching, did not realise this one at risk... so took the madmyers gc, but left another!!!!! now I am panicking!!!

have to say this area has fond memories for me as a kid!!! been here many times in my childhood!!!

tftc.
 
Another quick find for us enroute home from Toowoomba. TFTC
 
15-Feb-09
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 Big Grin
 
14-Feb-09
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!
 
14-Feb-09
Logged on the way to cache weekend. Signed in the rain, again.
 
13-Feb-09
Found Ok
 
11-Feb-09
Found it No. 1101 ... TN and left Chinese Coins
 
08-Feb-09
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.

Driven past here so many times before now I'll always be looking in this direction.

Great find.

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.

Finding muggled caches seems to be becoming a habit Sad

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.

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.Big Grin

Nice hide in a park to enable caching away from muggle view. TFTC Cool

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!!!
