Sorry guys, i have moved away from this area and am unable to perform the maitenance required to re-enable this cache... so i am archiving it permanently.

359 - Found okay at 3:09pm. As we were in the area today we decided to see if this one was here as it had been disabled for so long. We found it without a container or a log book. Placed a note to record our visit. Still requires maintenance. TFTC.

Still requies maintenance please.

This cache has been seriously muggled and has been disabled until i have a chance to repair/replace it.

Reasonably quick find today by the Downey Clan. It took longer to find than it should have given there is no container.

As with other recent finds, the log book is trashed and is not signable.

Found with geonanna around lunchtime. Only found logbook and pen in ziplock bag and logbook very wet so didn't sign. If there was a container I couldn't see it. Geokid enjoyed the nearby park. TFTC

THWs took me out again and we enjoyed the hunt, but as stated previously log too wet to sign. Thanks for bringing us to this nice area.

Found it No. 1326 ... LOG BOOK VERY WET COULD NOT SIGN

An easy find for Pa ogre another lovely spot in the local area.

log very wet no time to dry it out.

Another strike from Black Ops
TNLN Not even foot prints

As explained it appears to have been seriously muggled as well as soaked.

Thanks for the update... I'll get the cache repaired ASAP.

At 17:40. TNLN.

Unfortunately this cache is in a bad way and we have emailed the owners separately.

Felt a bit exposed here, and the GPRS kept wanting me to have a swim...

Will look again another time.

Found after waiting for muggles to finish playing on the swing nearby. Took the gc. TFTC

[Found Cache relatively easily and pleased to advise all safe and well. Signed log at convenience of nearby] table [but before I have the chance to replace, Muggle parkkeepers arrived to cut grass! Had to wait 30 mins to replace, trying not to look suspicious. TN/SL left GC. TFTC]

The cache had fallen off its perch(again) after reading the logs.
Managed to lift it up and then extract it, without falling into the water.
Signed the log and replaced it back on its perch.
Thanks

This is the park that I grew up in...

I used to live in 50 Flinders way. They've made some changes since we moved out though- chopped down all the tree's and painted the wall purple!

Many adventures were had in that bush, creek looks dirtier and forest more undergrown. There used to be many small tracks along and around the creeks in there. (If you follow the fence line along, where there's a steep incline). We spent lots of time building cubbies and tree houses 'n things.

Found after a bit of a gps dance

Tricky as! Had us stumped until I decided the "no way" place was the only place left. A team effort was required to retrieve. Success was had.

Hey, this park has my name on it - how cool is that [^]?. Like GeoPilots though, I couldn't get the cache out from where it is. Resorted to opening it, in situ. Must have looked pretty funny if anyone was watching. Managed to sign the log and return it to the cache. Took a bit of fiddling, but closed it up and went on my way a slightly dusty cacher.

Finding the cache was quite straight forward but extracting it presented some challenge. We overcame that and signed the log. TFTC

My fellow geocachers today thought I was the troll as I extracted this one!!

Despite my GPS telling me it was 12m away from GZ, dizzyanne thought in a geoway and came up with the goodies. I think she has troll genes. TFTC. ='.'=

The sights you see when you don't have a camera ready. Glad Dizzyanne volunteered to extract this one! TFTC

There was a mowerman in the area and I thought he was busy so I went in to retrieve the cache only to look up and see him driving past only metres away from me. I waited till he was driving away from me to get the cache in the open and then retired with the cache and returned after doing another couple in the area to replace it.

Just thought i would let you know the cache is fine, i was in the area so i thought i would check it for you after the storms.

Found this cache this morning. Took GeoMum and GeoBoys, the oldest played on the swings while i hunted. Great spot! I have taken the GC to move to another site on Friday. Swapped the caribeena for a Hot wheels car. TFTC.

Walked to this one from Silkyoak Boardwalk via a play on the playground. I'm glad there was no one about to watch me as I extracted the cacahe. It wouldn't have been a pretty sight!
Left GC.

Easy find, but tricky extraction. took koala, left car.

Found easily today. Nice park. Cache in good condition. TFTC.

Had our daughter get into it as well, found but a little hard to recover from position

No 66 of 205 on the weekend caching spree in Brisbane with The Rats and Big Matt & Shell.

After dodging a couple of canetoads got this one. TFTC!

Found on the Brisbane Caching Invasion with Steeba and The Rats.

Thanks Bradeng7 + KNS for the cache.

In Brissy for a caching blitz with Steeba and Big Matt. The neighbour wouldnt have heard us over his loud music. Thanks

My grand daughter wouldn't come too close to this one because of the troll that might be here.

This one required a bit of coordination to retrieve but I got there in the end while the kids enjoyed the park near by - TNLN, TFTC.

We agree with Duppers that this one was a little tricky to retrieve but with co-operation geoson and I were able to remove. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found this cache. It was a bit tricky to remove from it's hiding spot, but good fun. TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:12pm. Stopped for a drink at the nearby shelter shed before finding the cache. Very quiet round here today. TFTC

Quick find on the way home from work. No pesky Muggles either. TFTH

We were glad to see this one back online, so went for a quick cache nearby to home. A good little spot for a hide - nice and easy find. Did a swap. While replacing the cache we were spotted by a couple of curious young fellows, so hope all is well for the next cachers. TFTC!

With a little spare time this afternoon I decided to geocycle over and up the Pine on a cache maintainence run. This cache was on the way so made a good first point of call. I had no sooner taken off my helmet and a in comes another cacher (totalube). Cache in hand it was off to ride up the pine.

As I was parking the car I noticed another person near GZ, it turned out to be another cacher (ruzzelz). We retrieved the cache without falling in the water.

A good hide.

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away

At least that's what retrieving this cache was like this morning after 3 days of rain in Brisbane [:o]

Hilarious fun trying to hold on to the bridge with one hand while contorting to grab the box with absolutely no grip underfoot on the slope

If my hand had slipped I would have definitely been swimming

TFTC and bit 'o' fun.

So I am guessing the cache isn't missing then. I will try for it this weekend.

I just realised I had forgotten to log this one. Actually found it last Saturday, before the rain fortunately. TFTC

That's right kids! Cache is back. Sorry guys, forgot to update!

Cache has been stolen updates to come!!!

YEAH!!! and your point being????

Found this afternoon. Nice park, and spot for the cache. SL. Thanks.

Finding the cache was quite easy. Retrieving it was a whole different matter! I wish I had a camera to take a photo of the position Steve got himself into trying to retrieve the cache! Hee hee. The cache is dry and in good condition. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find whilst out and about with my geodaughter. The shelter was a very convenient spot to sign the cache and enjoy morning tea whilst watching the ducks.

Lovely spot on this beautiful day. Cache dry and in good condition.

Thanks

Had to wait for a couple of young muggles in love who must have thought it was romantic sitting there looking at the water. After they moved on it was an easy find. TFTC

Found it at 0933. A quick find and I paid a toll. A FTF as well.

Even though there is a first to find on offer, I profess it is tooooooo bloody cold to go out tonight!!!!

Sook...
