One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Disabled until i can fix.

Out with Blacklegend today on what is fast becoming our regular Thursday caching day.

I had found some in this area, he had found others, there were yet others neither had found and there was only a few that we had both found.

Knowing that this was going to happen often with crossover of caches we still covered the whole area we had chosen.

BL had found this one previously so knew exactly where it was so when I came up with just the string we knew for sure that it was missing.

On reading previous logs I knew that it broken off. I won't put another needs maintenance as there are already 2 but if the CO could attend it would be great otherwise there is a possibility that the reviewers will archive the cache.

Thanks Ben... TFTH

Found where it is suppose to be with the string. Unfortunately the string was to thin to sign haha. cheers

Only string ...had a peep for a while ,but must dropped , ow well never mind .thanks anyway

No luck for Outback Di and myself today seeing as the cache is MIA We found the string but no cache attached.

Unfortunately, while replacing the log which was a piece of rain right paper tied on with a twisty tie, the log came unattached and could not be retrieved. This cache needs a replacement bison tube urgently. Unfortunately, we did not have one in our packs.

Ventured out mid week for some caches in Cleveland - Yeah for holidays! and enjoyed a seafood lunch at the Grand Hotel. Only one muggle in his car at the park today and the trees sheltered us from view. TFTC Ben...

Out today with Angela & Dave on a pre-arranged visit to the dark side of the river

What we liked was that it wasn't in a traditional 'container'

TFTC

Really unusual hide , good and easy cheers

Haven't seen one like that before... Had to reach...TFTC!!!

Fortunately I was tall enough. TFTC

Easy find after we got rid of the company

Great hide! TFTC.

Thought I might try my hand caching around the Redlands Bay and Cleveland area. Hit some of the "Path" series of caches and a stack of others. Did a little bit of walking, but were able to get to most of them by driving. Few DNF's for the day. Thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Found the log sheet, all good. Nice little park. TFTC.

Only the fishing line remains. Have put a waterproof log onto line.

The container is gone

This one appears to be gone.

Fairly easy find considering phone app wouldnt load up using good old logic and persistance by geo hubby, tftc. Needs maintenance as log is full and lid broken. Great hiding spot!

Last time we visited this area we were walking - this time on the mountain bikes, our caching find rate was pleasantly much higher
After driving through some drizzle to start our afternoon hunt, the weather cleared and 'Charlies Park' was number one for the day. Co-ords were spot on and the cache even easier to find as someone had left it out hanging.... After signing the full log, we returned it to its proper hidey hole.

TFTC.

Awesome!!!

TFTC. Nice hide

Decided that today I would take my bike out to Cleaveland and have a cycle around and try out a few of "The Path" series and with a few others along the way.

It was a fantastic day, even though it started out quite cold at home, and i nearly decided not to go. But as I drove towards Cleaveland, the temp got to 23 degrees and was nice and warm in the sun.

I parked up at the cricket grounds (Henry Ziegenfusz Park) where i was surprised to see people setting put to fly model planes. Unfortunately they were not flying yet, and by the time I got back they were gone.

Anyways on to the cache. This was the 11th find for the day. Short and quick from the previous cache...

Waited out a dog walker, then I had the cache in hand quickly and signed the log book.

Cache in good order and dry

Out for a walk with Rock hopper41 after school and decided to try Geocaching. Quite an easy find on a pleasant evening. My first geocache

Out for a walk with tatmarples97 after school and decided to find her first geocache

Out for the afternoon to find some caches. Found quickly but had to be stealthy as there were a lot of muggles here today.

TFTC

Good find and nice little hide. First time geo Aidenkai have been in area and very impressed with the parks. Geo Dad found this one. Yeah.... Nav right on and easy find. TFTC.

Needs a new log book as is wet. Sorry didn't have a spare with me. If back in area will replace. Thanks.

Love the hide. TFTC

easy find.

TFTC. Log tattered from being wet.

Very creative. TFTC

Nice quite day at the park today. This was a neat find

A beautiful location. Awesome cashe, clever idea never seen one the same as this before. Tftc

Tftc

Let this be my lesson the most obvious feature is not always the location of the cache.

I parked with GPS showing 30+m so I look in the general direction it is pointing and ahha nice spot. Well no after a good search I check the GPS again and bingo a little further and there is the perfect spot with a nice hide. TFTC fab point here

Another day of Cleveland Capers with IolantheK...YAY!!!! Many moons ago I came to this park with another caching buddy but there were muggles galore so had to retreat empty handed. Not so today and it wasn't long before the hide was spotted. Don't know what everyone is complaining about...we're both about 5'6" and had no trouble at all. Apparently we are related to monkeys and THEY have learnt to use tools. .

Thanks for the cache, ben... Cheers, svn07

Out and about with svn07 for another Mad Friday

Never let it be said that slightly vertically challenged people can't get at a cache [^] This one was just beyond both our fingertips at full stretch, but a handy-dandy little stick procured from right nearby provided me with just the leverage I needed Lots of fun! svn07 got a hilarious picture of me putting it back. TFTC, ben... A favourite point from me. Oh, and make that 5'4" for me, svn07!!!

On my afternoon walk, found it. Log book still a bit damp, but drying out I think.

fancy hiding it up there

This was out of reach so we did the next best thing, and shoved an adolescent up to retrieve it.

This cache would not be possible for any of us without a team effort.

Neat hide, quick find However the D/T rating does not reflect the obvious problem with retrieving this cache and the listing should have attributes for teamwork and/or climbing.

Back on the bikes and on we rolled...

TFTC ben...

You'd need to be very tall to get this one. However an extra person (or two) in my case, and a helping hand, managed to get this sneeky hide. TFTC

Fortunately, whilst sitting on my bike, I was tall enough for this one. Never eve bothered getting off the bike. TFTC ben....

The tide was in and increases the water views in this area

Account has been split, this was previously logged under another name,

Great find. Nice hot day, no one around. Had a go on the exercise machines. TFTC

A little bit of a struggle being a little short of 170cm but nothing a stick can't reach.
Tftc

Nice hide though it was a bit jammed on something we weren't tall enough to see. A poke from a stick and it leapt out at us. TFTC ben...

Had to wait a while before hauling the cache out of it's hidey hole as workers were lunching at the tables.Loved the hide,thought it clever.Also interesting to read about the migratory birds on the information post nearby.TFTC

After a DNF at the last one, we were glad to get a smilie on this one.
A great park by the ocean with toilets, execise equipment and shelters.
Geopartner did the honours after I pointed out where it could be.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks ben...

A lovely day to go caching with the temperature being a bit cooler than the last few days. This is a gorgeous area full of lovely views that we remember quite well from our visit to the area in 2007. Great to see so many good caches around the location. This was one we targetted and were able to find.
Thanks to ben....

# 850. This one was done amongst a lot of bike path caches today so made for a welcome break from those. A nice hide and as has been mentioned Robmc with his longer reach soon had this one in hand. Yep, I liked this hide. TFTC ben...

A loverly little park down at the end of the road at Oyster Point. Luckily I stand a bit taller than the required height, so it was an easy retrieve. Nice spot for a cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

We arrived in the carpark and immediately made a wrong guess about where the hide would be. That would happen a few more times today. Anyway the GPS knew where to go and Rob followed making a good find.
Thanks ben

Stopped here & had our lunch. Very quiet, 1 person on the exercise machines.
Luckily geo hubby was taller than I was as we neede that extra height to retrieve the cache.
Thanks ben...

Nice quick find with TuisReturn. A great time for us both on holiday around Brisbane. SL TFTC

Day 2 of my Brisbane holiday with tmann421. Another lovely day TFTC

Quick find though lots of muggles. Nice spot in warmer weather

Spent the day on the South Side and this was our 17th find for the day. Nice easy find in the morning, but luckily geohubby is taller than me because I couldn't reach it. Very quiet and cache was in good condition.

TFTF

Found it easily whilst on my bike ride.
TFTC Ben

Nice hide. TFTC

Found in the company of Cleveland girl. Nice hide. Tftc

Today I managed to dodge the lady muggle out for a fag but not the creepy guy hanging around the boat ramp. Hmmmm.

Cache all in good order today

TFTC

Easy one... Lovely day.. clear skies. SL TFTC. Muggle nearby, so i explained to him the joy of Geocaching. Showed him my GPS and then made him find it. I already has it found but not taken out & logged. So we both got it out, signed and restowed. Hope we have a new convert.

Found with Harry and Russ on a casual stroll in Cleveland. This was fun cache. TFTC JH

Great hide. At 6ft tall I only just managed it!! Had to wait ages for some elderly muggles to move off, then managed retrieve it sign and return it before the next lot of muggles arrived.

Found with Temingi. TFTC

Gotcha !!! On a cache run with Qldwarrior TFTC

Looks like this is a good place for fishing too. I saw some fishermen catch a fish while I was retrieving the cache. TFTC

Log book is wet and needs to be replaced soon! Good find

Still out running. Feet are sodden now.

This was a really creative cache. I'm 166cm and had no difficulty reaching with the help of my writing implement. TNLN. TFTC.

At 169 cm tall I still had to reach for this one. Great park. fabulous outlook. TFTC

=( I rode straight past GZ on the treadlie but there where people sitting right close to it, so instead of looking and maybe getting it muggled I just kept on riding and will come back soon and hunt ...

I would have had no hope in hell of finding this cache if geopoppy hadn't been with me - think about all the short people

TFTC...[^]... ben

Visiting from the UK with my brother, easy find, TFTC

This cache formed a part of my shotgun trip to Queensland. At the last minute I got asked to come to Queensland to do some work. So I made the most of it and bagged myself 100 odd caches while in the state. First grabbed a few caches in Roma before flying into Brisbane Airport where I hired a car at around 1PM. I then cached most the time till I caught a plane the next afternoon from the Gold Coast to Victoria. At one stage I took a power nap in the back of the car for about an hour to recharge when I was feeling a bit flat. Beside that it was not till I got on the plane did I have a chance to sleep. There was very little sleep had. When I got back to Victoria I made sure I grabbed one last cache so I ended up getting a cache in 3 Australia states in one day.

Arrive and parked at the entrance to the park, took a walk towards the boat ramp, as 2 muggles sitting observing the park. GPRs brought us back into the park. Look at the only object in the area, notice something that could be the prize! How to get to this one out without the muggles watching.

It was not easy but I am sure the muggles had questions.
Log Signed and returned!

Got out of Captain Terrors Car and followed my little blue arrow. Turn in a circle. Oh there it is..... awww im too short... Please get it for me ... thanks... please put it back for me... thanks. TFTC

This was a nice one! Well thought out and implemented, ben!

After collecting the bag, retreated to a nearby shelter. While airing the log sheet, a muggle came along, disappeared underneath a neighbourging tree (me thinking he missed the coordinates and hint...), and came out to enjoy the sunshine - just a few meters from the GZ.
Thus, a decoy was needed to get the log back, and my loyal companion, camera, served the purpose as I pretended to need to support available at GZ while my left hand did its own little moves.

Geokid enjoyed the excercise opportunities in the park.

The log sheet was damp, and the official (printed) side of it is now full. The other side of the paper, however is still blank and will probably last until Christmas.

18th cache of 20 today.We are in the area on holiday from Wangaratta Victoria and before we head futher up north to Mackay in the morning I needed to do some caching around here so I took my dads girlfriend Judy out for a few finds.No problems with mugglers or finding the cache today.Another lovely spot.Not fun if you are vertically challenged.LOL,nice hide gave us a laugh.

Took me a while to put the pieces together but the with the help of the clue it seem's obvious. Wonderful park hidden away.

TFTC!!!

Great hide! TFTC

A great spot for a break. We took our time and enjoyed the park before hunting the cache. A different hide to what we expected. TFTC ben... [1197]

Great gz. Thought gps was playing up. However good sight is needed on this one. Smart n not the normal path finds on the bay, thanks

A great little park hidden away. Found the cache with the help of the clue and my stature. TFTC ben...

This place reminded us of the trip to Stradbroke Island that we took last year. This one was easy to fish out of its hidy hole. TFTC.

I was very knackered after work so only managed the effort to find this one cache today. A few muggles around, busy with their muggley business so I was good to find this one. The hint gave away the location when the co-ords were a touch off for me, and all 196cm of me made an easy retrieval. A great park indeed, and for those who care, the tide was on it's way out as I watched the bay for a while before heading home. TFTC.

I've found this type before, so I knew what I was looking for.

I can understand why the 'new cacher' would miss this one.

Couldn't find it. Looked everywhere but no where revealed a Cache.

This looks to be about the best picnic spot in Brisbane. What a picturesque and calm place. Thanks ben... for bringing me here.

Found ok with a family sitting at the nearby table. I had my 2.7 y.o running around to help me blend in . Once i spotted where it was, it was just a matter of waiting for no eyes on me for the retrieval of the tricky hide (tricky if your a shorty) . Thanks ben...

Not a bad attempt seeing there was muggles on play equipment and in other areas of the park.

found with krewlworld and Max:Dog on a big fun day of Caching. TFTC

A nice easy find and definitely not for those short cachers

TFTC ben...

We found this cache as part of our adventure to the area

Gaz'n'Kab

Out for an afternoon’s Caching with Mrs Ant24 and the geokids, thought we would see how far through the ‘The Third Path’ series we could get, and as it took us straight past this cache we thought we would grab it too.

Too many muggles about the first time we came past, so waited for your return trip and grabbed nice and easy.

A nice easy find at 4:10pm
