No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

This one has certainly been missing for 18 months now... Perhaps it is time to lay it to rest.

No sign of it We noted that owner's other caches are archived, so this one has probably floated that way.

Had a really good look around but with the previous log and the debris still lying around, we too think this one may have gone with the floods.

I think the cache owner needs to check on this cache as soon as they can as the mighty Lockyer Creek floodwater has swept through this area and destroyed everything in its path. I have seen photos of the train line where the cache was and there is a lot of damage and debris, suggesting that the cache would have easily been washed away as the waters rose over the height of the train tracks.

A bit too wet and muddy today, will try again on a drier day.

I had a good look at several possible locations. No joy today. Albida

This one was a nice quick find ,a huge puddle to jump over today ,so watch your step

Awesome find but definitely do it on a weekend - the school is very close by!

Dropped in this TB to make its way.

Found Ok

Found at 0810Hrs. I was the 3rd person to sign this log book today too. This one is near a school, and I was getting a few strange looks, so it might be a good idea to avoid starting and finishing time. The cache seems to have been covered in diesel fuel so bring the necessary for a clean up when you are finished. TNLN.
Thanks Toey97.

A fun find for the kids

First find for us, tftc.
TNLN.

An easy find, we where lucky enough to have a coal train pass by while there which the kids enjoyed. TFTC.

I had to rely on my companion to get this for me - I could see it but no way could I reach it! *adds stilts to caching bag* TFTC ='.'=

Found it, had to wait for the Decade to clock over to get the correct date.
Nice easy find, picnic area What picnic area we must have come in from the back at this site and we drove right up to it & under it, well allmost.

Very nice cache. Hightower does help on this one.

Muggles walking Dogs...what is with all the Muggles. It is hard to be stealth her this afternoon dropping of a Traveler

Looking for a more senic route up the range trhis cache hid the radar of my driver for the day. Off we went to look under and found the cache. Unfortunately no trains passed over while we were doing so.

Nice spot

A great little spot for some exploration.
What a shame there was no train,
to get underneath while I was there
That would have been spectacular
and reminded me of the olde school days,
we used to laugh a lot,
hiding under the train tracks
while waiting for the skool bus
TFTC.

Took the chanch to grab this one when we took the car out to test the new suspension. Good hide and did not need the extension ladder after all. All sitll in good condition. TFTC TNLN SL

dizzyanne swooped in on this one and we signed pretty quickly as we could hear trail bikes nearby. Lots of cars and trailers parked here and thought the riders may be on their way back. TFTC

No trains today, and glad we didn't have to drive under here... I like the roof of my car! A quick scout around brought up the goods, loved the green pond down the hill.

The GPSr had me getting my feet wet but I insisted on trying elsewhere first. Mr DisSister was the first to spot it. I'm glad the train we had seen at Tunnel Vision and Only Bluffing did not rumble over as we were there. That would have been a little too exciting for me I think. TFTC

A nice little stop on the way to the Meringandan Pub Lunch today. Needed to wait for 2 trains to pass as I wasn't game enough. Easy find. Didn't need the milk crate that I packed for this one to reach it

Only so many places it could be and, yes, height helps. TFTC

out for a drive,tftc

I never thought caching would lead me to finding one underneath a speeding coal train, but that is exactly what happened. Shook the bridge and my bowels...

TFTC and the change of undies.

Found it easy being a local

Quick find after a longer than expected drive out early this morning. Early enough not to be bothered by anyone being at the school across the road. Cache dry and in good condition
TNLN TFTC

We dropped our daughter off at UQ Gatton, then took the slow road to Toowoomba.
This was a nice find after we found a dinosaur down the road.
Thanks for the cache out here.......no trains to disturb the serenity.

A bit muddy but cache dry. Our in-car navigator brought us here vire some fairly steep gravel roads when there was a perfectly good bitumen one.
Thanks Toey97

Nice spot. Found ok. Bit exposed though.

The father in law found this one for me without the gps TFTC

good times!! i looked down in the gully first but then realised it was up top

TNLN

What a great find and another unqiue location found by geocachers.
Took: candle & chalk stick
Put in: assorted toys.

Finally getting around to logging this cache. Great hide, though I am surprised that it has not been muggled. There must not be many young people in the area experiencing their misspent youth years!!! Tried to re- hide as best as possible.

Nice hide. Clues were a little obvious, but made this a fun find for the Princess. Took Goat, left a first-aid Resuscitation mask.
Drivers of 4WD beware. I scraped my roof...thinking I could get under but 2mm too tall.

The princess is still giggling about it as I log this.

I had visited Murphys Creek many times in the past but had not ventured to this spot. Height assistance was required to locate the cache, as were "nerves of steel". Thankfully no trains about. Cache covered in black grease so placed in a plastic bag. TFTH.

A quick find on a Christmas afternoon drive. I've driven over this one dozens of times in a train but haven't been able to stop to grab it.
The cache is dry and in good condition.

Thanks for the cache.

Took my daughter out for a driving lesson today and thought we should grab some caches along the way. This place amazed us both. Lucky I had her with me to do the hard work to retrieve the cache. Thanks for a great hide.

What an amazing spot! I assume you're allowed to drive under there, but the truck wasn't going to fit, so we grabbed the cache, signed the log and went back the way we came. I wonder where that road goes.... Actually, this wasn't the only time today that phrase was uttered in this car...

Contents dry and in good condition. Thanks for the cache!

An easy find. Found on a trip to Brisbane, listening to the radio on the way down there was a Steam Train on its way, I thought “you beautyâ€, alas it was a big smokeless diesel electric coal train.

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1210pm. TNLN. TFTC

Found this morning on our way to Toowoomba for a day of seeking some treasure. Great hiding spot. Thanks. T-Snake L-Orange Candle. TFTC SL.

Thankfully i was with temingi on this one as i would have had no hope of getting to it myself! No swaps TFTC

Found with Qldwarrior.We've both been in train-ing. TNLN TFTC.

Very easy find. Found myself in Murphy's Creek today, but didn't have my GPSr with me. Figured I knew where the cache would be anyway, and it hardly took any hunting to find it.

Found at 8.30am today. Quick easy find. Found the container to be in good condition and dry and safe. Good hiding spot. TFTC TNLN

Nice hide. TFTC.

Second to find ... no-one around so had the chance to have a good look. Amazing how they can have a "road" here - bit low for most cars I guess...
Lots of mud around due the rain in the last few days. Cache was located quickly. Not sure about the container - I think the clips are already breaking... nothing beats sistema!
TFTC - find number 998!

aaarrgh!
