This one has been muggled yet again, time to Archive I think.

look and looked found lots of good places to hide a cache but did not one

Perhaps owner could confirm if it is still their, and replace if not or archive

Gaz'n'Kab

suspect perhaps another flood victim, perhaps owners could check.
cheers

Had a good search but couldn't find. Might be time to check this one.

looked pretty hard with geowife & kids but to no avail

No luck for us.

Had a good hunt for this, but we weren't able to find it. Cheers Gav

No luck again

Went looking early in the morning and couldn't find so went back to relations place we were staying at. Then left at lunch time with rest of family to come back home to NSW, drove past and look,someone else was looking for it,pulled up and introduced ourselves to Green Team 2,we all looked for a little while and we had to go,so looking forward to see if it was found after we left.Good day Green Team 2 and gerrynewgirl this is a great spot for a cache.

DNF for us. Sprung by Fergclan from Lismore who had been there earlier. 4 pairs of eyes and no cache. Will keep an eye on this as it is a great park. Unfortunately the trend was to continue for the rest of the day for us. More DNF's than finds.

Nice easy find tftc

Log is wet n near impossible to write on

log is wet
good hide nice area

stopped for lunch in the park. waited fo muggles to move before grabbing the cache.
visiting from France
tftc

Stopped off at the park and only a garden maintenance guy was nearby. Waited for him to move away and grabbed the cache. The log book was wet so I partially dried it out and placed it in a plastic bag. SL. TFTC gerrynewgirl

Found with matt_stomper on our way through town from Bundy to Brissy. We were stopped for a break and decided to have a little wander through the park to recharge before getting back into the car. We saw the old mine shaft and headed over for a look. Being keen cachers we decided that there would have been a good chance there was a cache planted nearby. We pretty much stumbled upon this one as we were reading the info about the old mine. It was well hidden but knowing what a cache hiding hole may look like was a sure sign to any cacher! TFTC

As Shell_seeker said we found this one by absolute chance. Just taking a walk for break in the drive from Bundy to Brissy and something just didn't look right and there it was . . . a cache.

TFTC!!!

Nice easy find on our way to Townsville. Sooo much rain about, got very wet! TNLN TFTC

Found this cache in a easy way - thx Peter

Found this one during our Awesome Australian Holiday with Rosthein McCauley Team visiting us all the way from France !
A bit of history and a BIG spider later....
TFTC and Greetings from Normandy !

Found with Norm'ozzi during our 3 weeks off in Queensland, Australia.
A break of 10 minutes to find 2 geocaches.

No trade.

Greetings from France.

Found this one without too much trouble Muggles far enough away not to pose a threat

Nice quick find before lunch, TFTC SL

Found at 0714 with Marg. Marg found the first on out 2 day caching trip to Hervey Bay. Nice park and old buildings. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.

Must have timed this well, finding it just after the maintenance. Market day found easily but had to wait for muggle to leave to return it to the hole. TFCT

Checked this cache today and there was no sign of the container so it has been replaced with a new container which includes a log and writing stick. The container is similar to an eclispe tin and is still rated the same, but I have included a hint.

Cache is good to go again.

This cache temproarily disabled until maintenance completed.

I am currently enroute to do maintenance on my caches but the vehicle broke down in the Brisbane area last night. Hopefully in the forthcoming weeks I will have them all attended to. Sorry for the inconvienence but being in Tasmania for the past 6 months did not help. I apoligise for any cachers who have missed the opportunity to enjoy my caches. cheers gerrynewgirl.

Didn't read the other logs til we'd gone and looked for it. Seems like it isn't surprising we didn't find it.

Definitely needs a visit from the owner. Perhaps disable it until you can visit.

As you are unable to maintain the cache perhaps you should temporarily disable it to stop it appearing on search lists. Two previous needs maintenance notices but no action other than a plea.

Have found a few of this type in the past but nothing showing today. Given a previous comment may need to be taken off line - will add maintenance requirement.

Couldn't find this one it may be MIA

not found
from previous posting possible that it is missing

Found it, it was a little bit trashed. It had been pulled out and a mower had run over it. Tried to put it back togather as best as possible and placed back in hiding spot.

Would the next finder please replace the container (just an eclipse type container) and log for me as I am currently off the mainland and unable to attend to the maintenance for the next couple of months. Thanks gerrynewgirl.

Found this one but it was too wet to write on the log. The cantainer is damaged and has a small hole in one end where the moisture is getting in.

Cache damaged

Repairs are badly needed.

Unable to write on the log as it has turned to paper mache. Container as noted in previous logs is broke.

As allready written. The logbook soaked and a propper logging is not possible.
The container is broken, too.

The nearby flood marks are pretty impresiv. Still cannot believe that the flood can rise thas high.
The cache itself is in a pretty bad shape. The container is damaged. Mybe a cigar container is not the best geocache box.
The logbook was sucked I hardly could write my name on it. Both, container and logbook, do have to be changed.
What ever, thank you for the cache on my way to Rainbow Beach.

talk about can't find about gave up till the wife said whats this!!! don't think i would have ever seen it.

Finally getting around to logging this one.
After staying at a hotel nearby, found this cache before hitting the road again.
Thanks for the cache

Easy find while looking for a few around Gympie. Well hidden. Thanks

Wife found it after a little cratching aroung while I was busy lookin at the GPS.

Found this one within 30 seconds of searching.

The last time I was down here I spent 30mins trying to find this cache before calling it quits and walking away with a DNF but this time as soon I found it I was like..."How the heck did I not find that last time" like you'd probably say to most geocaches when you find them after a DNF. I do probably have to fess up that I got a small hint from Gerrynewgirl when she was up in Emerald doing some caching.

Thanks and Merry Christmas,

Had another crack at this one on the return journey north, but still no luck.......

There was a local council worker cleaning the area but he didn't seem to show any interest in what i was doing. TFTC

An accidental find as I was wandering around, waiting for the GPSr to settle on a GZ. Saw something I thought should be looked at and surprise, surprise, a cache appeared. TN/LN/SL and replaced it as we found it. I can't say how accurate I found the co-ordinates to be as I didn't bother with the GPSr, once I'd found it. Needless to say, you have to check "them all" .

Found with L&L – I was searching the wrong tree! I was searching where the GPS originally put us. L&L had walked 8-10m away to do another walk in and found the cache accidently when he just happened to look in the right spot! TFTC

Had a good look about but couldn't track this one down, unfortunately......

Nice place!
Thank you Kalipi

DNF: Had a picnic lunch here but could not find the cache.

Found quite quickly on a really beaut day. Stopped off in the park for picnic. Loved the container!
TFTC SL

cool cache container. Amazing building next door. Great to see a place with so much history.

Before we had our picnic at this interesting area, we looked for the cache. First we had problems to get to GZ, but walking around we finally got GZ and so also the cache with the first grab.

Struppi & Strolch

On our way up to Hervey Bay we had here a little rest. After searching around a few minutes we found it together with Struppi & Strolch.

yay! We found it, this cache was a night cache for us before the trip to Bribie Island. TFTH

Great container and perfect hiding spot TFTC

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.16. Fantastic park. The museum looked interesting. I was surprised I could get this one, but not complaining about the muggle barrier. Thanks.

A fabulous park which I've visited before.
But I never got around to exploring this bit of the grounds
The search took a while as I continued to overlook the most obvious location several times
Finally I dug a little deeper and there was a cache
Most of the camo's worn off though (unless red is a camo colour)
TFTC.

Watch out for Collingwood supporters til the end of September

Charlie and I are here from Oregon, USA, touring the east coast in a camper van. Round and round we went, trying to get the GPSers to zero. Kept bring us to the 'wrong' spot. Finally, charlie extended the search and came up with the goods. TFTFun

I found this cool cache surprisingly fast . This is the first cache I've found [8)].

Had us stumped for a while but finally got it.

Plenty of evidence of searching by cachers but all in the wrong place. Mrs yv found the object of our desire while I was still scratching my head.
TFTC

Found nice one camo cute.T.F.T.C

Second find for the day out geocaching with captain terror. took a while to find it TFTC

coordinates were a bit off and took a bit of a search. cant believe muggles dont find this one for us, seems so in the open. nice park though. TFTC

Found it on my way to Fraser Island. Good place to take a break.

TFTC, wemwolf

Found while exploring the park and visiting the museum.
TFTC

(The camo isn't quite so "camo" anymore)

wow our very first find can't believe it
i walked straight to it beginners luck
i love my gps

nice easy retrieval
but why oh why when i sit to log do muggles appear and hang around for what feels like forever before i can replace the cache
it happens so often...
there were so many groups of kids going over the walkway above. they were having a ball.
and thats a bloody high flood line all the way up there! doubt we are going to see rains like that ever again.

found quickly, log book dry and in good condition.

thanks gerrynewgirl for the cache.

Kids and I wandered around a bit as the GPSr was all over the place. It eventually settled and we had the cache. There were quite a few muggles around today, so the kids did all the work as they can get away with it.

Of course the kids wanted to go to the museum and do the walk above, but I had to promise them another day, as the wife was sitting in the car and would have called a search party. Anyhow we will be back.

TFTC

It took me longer than it should have to find the cache. It was in the obvious location.

Thanks to the Wonder Wits there was a lovely dry log to sign.

Log was actually pretty dry, but it was awfully floppy and wibbly and I didn't like my chances of getting it back in ... Cache now has new log sheet with entries transcribed from the old log book (please pardon the transcription errors) and currently no pencil... TFTC gerrynewgirl.

Would the next finder please take a new sheet of paper to replace the log book as the old one has has been reported as being soggy and I am on a trip north at present so cannot change it just now. Cheers and thanks, gerrynewgirl.

Needs a new logbook

Found with crushernz and kids. Logbook soggy, but managed to write on it. may need maintenance soon, a new log book wouldn't go astray.

Nice easy find with lisa and co treea playin with sats but easy find nice spot

Nice, easy find, while having a break on the way back to Brisbane. Logbook is soggy- container not waterproof, and is in a damp spot. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache.

found it ... and its holding up quite nicely

Nice easy find on the way down the coast for a conference. Once the satellites got themselves woken up and sorted out, had the prize in no time. TFTC.

cruised in early but had to return later because of muggles...............quite a few caches to be had in close proximity...........i like it alot and a great park.

Must be too used to the Brisbane urban hides as I was looking for something far more difficult than was necessary.

We finally looked in what should have been the obvious location and came up with the goods.

Stopped off for a look on our way north. The GeoKid had been in the car for long enough, and was keen to stretch her legs.

The GPS lead the adults to a likely spot and the cache was quickly in hand. Once we signed the log, we rounded up the GeoKid and continued north.

Thanks for the cache

Found at 3.30pm. Nice easy walk around the park and also to grab a cache or two. TFTC

Stopped here on the way home from Hervey Bay. After reading the logs, we thought this was one of the caches you look at and ignore because they blend in so nicely. We tried to disassemble the water tap and the fire hose but no cache. Our search was made more difficult by the attacking mag pie... I had given up already, when geomum looked in an obvious spot and said "here it is!". TFTC

An easy find on a very, very hot afternoon. TFTC

Found at 1545. Found after doing a lap of the Museum grounds.

TFTC

A popular cache today, me being the 3rd finder this morning, and its only 1115 hrs. It was my third find of my trip to the Brisbane event. Interesting surroundings.

Cheers

Nice easy find on a Saturday morning, made easier by having no one around.

Managed to get this one early this morning No muggles about at 06;15 which is good. always a great spot to visit even for a local.
TFTC

Gotcha !! as we passed thru town on our way home to Yeppoon. TFTC.

Found the cache at 1.10pm. Excellent hide spot. Lovely park - enjoyed wander around the park. SL. Thanks gerrynewgirl for organising the cache and hunt.

Found Ok

2nd time lucky, or maybe a fresh pair of eyes helped
