Cache has gone

Looks like it has been muggled

box gone. only the top is left. require permission to log

Found the lid, but no cache to be found... Mighta been muffled

I found the lid of a container shown in a previous log photo, but it was lying loose in the garden. I suspect this one has been muggled.

We were visiting a nearby business and had a bit of time to spare, so we trotted over the road to the aforementioned church and admired the wonderful structure. After a little while we got down to work and found the appropriate spot. After a little while searching Jenn came up with the goods in a not-so-hidden-but-still-hidden spot Nice hide in a great location. Log book is full, but someone added a piece of paper, so we signed that instead. TFTC K8'n'Co!

Yay last find for the afternoon in the area was a nice and easy one. Tftc

First find in Australia!

Thank you - nice cache and nice church. No TB though.

Found it in the dark! Church was lighted inside, so we could see the coloured windows. Logged on the last page of the little logbook. TFTC

Found it wahoo! Nice

Found and logged this one on the way to the WWFM. TFTC

Beyond the event this morning, and the stop at the wonderful chocolate shop nearby, I had not really planned today at all. It was going to come down to just what I happened to come across.

So after the event and finding another nearby puzzle, I thought a little walking would be a good way to finish off the day. So following the GPSr around the streets soon spotted the church and it was just a matter of finding the way to the cache.

dahumbug joined me for the walk and we had a good chat along the way. Arriving here though I was cautious to keep an eye looking for others that may muggle us out, and also tried to eye the cache before reaching around anywhere. Lucky that I did as the first thing that I spied was a needle (with a cap on if I remember correctly) but still not the sort of thing that you like to find.

Anyway second spot I looked I saw the cache, and we got our names in the log book and moved on to the next stop.

TFTC

Was lucky that OrionJ wanted some company after the event. This was one of those ones where I talked all the way here and didn't realise we were here.

Good ol church, thanks K8 n Co

Nice hide becareful of needles took trackable

Quick find at this beautiful old church after lunch in South bank with friends TFTC

had second thoughts about this cache when I spotted a syringe in the garden, but went for it any way and came up with the container. dropped off a TB as well. TFTC

Quick find here, beware of needles though.. Clay and Rosie

I read on the log that someone found it by accident and became a geocacher. Meanwhile I am a geocacher and spent 5 minutes searching. Thanks.

This was the last one I was searching for today and got at least this one while I failed on all the others...

Found again with friends, happysuitcase and jaiobi. TFTC!

Needs new logbook. Others are full.

Nice one. No sign of the geocoin though.

Found it, using one of my trusty tools if you can't see, although bit of a stretch to retrieve, TFTC

Found on Easter Sunday.
Thanks for the cache K8'n'Co.

Found on second attempt - first one for ARF4 ! Pen doesn't work so byo

Found found found...watch for needles

Nice church and easy to find ... Thank you

found easily, and had the pleasure of listening to the church orchestra rehearse. brass instruments sounded magical!

Lovely church - I found it once I sat and thought 'where would I hide it' and there it was!

Took mushroom and left butterfly. Also grabbed the Pegasus TB.

Had a quick look. Decided to to skip though. Due to risk of needles

I was out touring around the area on the geocycle again today. I was very happy to be able to grab this one on a Sunday. The area around GZ was busy with parked cars, and the carpark was full. None of this mattered on the bike though. No muggles in sight - they were all safely tucked inside the church.

A quick search soon revealed the prize. I swapped TBs here

Was on the South bank Sunday morning my last day in Brisbane so I left the market to see if I could snaffle this cache well it nearly got the better of me as it turned out I am a little vertically challenged for this particular cache but having run out of possibilities I stretched myself to the limit and touched something and it had to be the prize I had come for so somehow I managed to gain another inch and the cache was mine so I retreated a safe distance to do the office work and replaced the cache without being seen even though it was Sunday morning The cache is in great shape and has one TB in which I did not take as it's ambition is to travel around Australia TFTC Chingola

Rocked up to GZ this afternoon and you would think it would be quiet in the afternoon during the week but they have English lessons on.
I happened to glimpse in the door and saw the stained glass windows as I was passing.
I have seen some beautiful stained glass windows in churches.
Here I am with my hand in the pie and 2 people pass me with a bit of a smile on their face.
You could not see the cache yet as I had a bit of trouble with reach.
I was standing on tip toes balancing to reach the cache and I knocked it over so I had to reach further.
I managed to grasp it and bring it to surface and sign the log and put in the TB I was carrying to make it a little more holy.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks K8'n'Co. All good with this cache

Finally found it on our late night adventure. Was about to give up and then the clues made sense! a few mugals slowed us down I must say!

Found with Toozey. no pun intended but thank god! Got Hobbo Muggled on one then Hobbo and Cop Muggle altercation at Big Bang. Then loads of churchie Muggle types at this church... What a night!!!!
BTW! Easy to find, once you find it! LoL! Keep out of the bushes!

found today on my walk around brisbane. tftc!

road trip from sydney. took ages n finally arrived brisbane.
sorry about the delay of the geocoin. finn on the road achieved the goal!!

Nice hide! I had hit a brick wall and was about to give up, when I hit a brick instead. Nice hide tftc.

Harder than I thought, church was in full swing Sunday morning

Free tour of the church was a nice bonus!

TFTC
Lovely spot

Omg. People are revolting. Cleaned out food waste. Full of... Oddities. Great for a kids csche. Far too easy for the grade. Lingua-file

Our first find. GPS spot on. Let the adventures begin!

I knew exactly where this would be even though I hadn't been here for over 30 years. No I didn't have some sort of prophecy or epiphany, it's just that I went to school nearby and had RE lessons here and became familiar with the landscape. So it was easy to navigate to and find the cache. I was sorry to confirm that there are no trackables here any more
Thanks K8'n'Co

Good hide. Found with Dash94 & Todd

Didn't find this one today. We looked for a long time in the spiky buses near the stairs but couldn't find anything. From the photos I didn't expect it to be very difficult. I might try again later though.

Out exploring the city with a new friend & decided to introduce to caching, such a beautiful place to start TFTC TNLN no travel bugs unfortunately

Found with topher and croswat. Took us a while, but we were being too specific. Its a pretty obvious place. Just watch out for needles in the bushes! TFTC

Found with topher and yoshi. Took us a while, but we were being too specific. Its a pretty obvious place. Just watch out for needles in the bushes! TFTC

Be careful, there's some dangerous surprises in the garden- careful of your fingers! good fun once G was found!

Found it wooot

As I had some spare time this afternoon, decided to stop by this cache, especially when I had a TB I wanted to drop off.

Hopped off a bus on Vulture St, noticed the church and started to approach it. Just so that I can take more of it in, the approach was on the wrong side of it. Since it wasn't obvious that I could cut across the church yard, decided to be civil and walk around the block. One the other side, the smartiephone compass started to show promisingly small numbers for distance.

Following the numbers climbed up the stairs, parked by bag on the bench, and started to look around. Not many potential spots over there. How about the other side? Down? Along the way? What - D1.5 cache and no idea where it is???

Compass, please. Oh, now it shows that way. Well, I haven't been there yet, so let's have a look. Not there, not nearby, not anywhere. What - D1.5 cache and still no idea where it is???

Started to poke around, up and down, but nothing. It was time to concede and move on. Had a last poke - excuse me but what's that place? Right in front of my eyes, yet the first time I realise that little nook. Now, if I have a careful look - BINGO! [^][^][^]

Of course, it's a way to kill time if you want: spend 20 mins on a cache you could find in a minute if you spared a few braincells to it. Or at least opened your eyes at the GZ.

Left TB Kanga and Roo Travellers to start their trip to the States.
The two TB's listed in the inventory were not in the container (Mill Street In Grass Valley, CA; Debz Dolphin). Hopefully they have been grabbed and will be logged in due course.

TFTC, K8'n'Co. A great location for the cache, thanks for taking me there this afternoon!

Out to dinner with a muggle friend and couldn't resist trying my first ecclesiatic cache. Nice safe hide but be careful of the syringes around GZ especially at night. Thanks for leading me to this beautiful church.

This was the last one for today. Found it during the night and easily found the good hidden container.

Thanks for hiding this cache. Greetings from Germany,

Team Red Guardian

I was meeting a friend at a nearby café and then decided to look for this afterwards. There was a group of 3 men photographing the wonderful architecture of this church. One of them asked if I was "looking for something" with a knowing look. When I said yes I was he told me I was very close but not to go poking around too much with unprotected hands as there were a number of used needles around. So, I was very careful.

Found safe and sound - log getting close to full. NTNL

note there where used needles in the vicinity. Don't stick you hands in holes without looking.

Sax and nina killing it. Woohooo geo cachin yea

A busy cache early this morning. As I was approaching someone else was just leaving. A cacher from WA meets cacher from NZ in QLD -- cool. Picked up a couple of recently dropped in trackables to move on. TFTC, Biggles.

Early morning drop off in Brisbane before the traffic. Dropped 4 bugs and retrieved one. Saw a fellow looking at me curiously so I walked off and taking a look back he was looking for this one too so I went back and had a quick chat.

Way too obvious. Walked past it 10 times. TNLN TFTC. Wobbly45 & son.

It helps if you are looking at the right church! We were looking down the street for half an hour at the wrong location.

We were in Brisbane for the day and I had a couple of trackables I wanted to leave in this fair city and since it reportedly was a small (and should accommodate said trackables) we decided to detour to attempt it.

Lots of nice little hiding holes around GZ but none of them revealed the prize, eventually looking through past logs and one little mention (actually two but it referenced the same event) and the prize was in hand. And yes it was big enough for these trackables.

Unfortunately the church itself was closed but we did notice that it will be open for Brisbane Open House which we plan on coming back to Brisbane for so, perhaps we'll include this on our itinerary.

Thanks for the cache.

Cool

Had searched briefly for this one a few months ago, but didn't have time to find it. However, this time managed to find it within half a minute of arriving at GZ. I have no idea what I was doing last visit... TFTC!

As I went down to the river to pray,
Learning about the good old ways,
And who will find the cache and log,
Oh Lord, show me the hide.

I remember when this was part of a series back in 2008, and I went about slowly picking up all the clues, and now by the time I get around to this one, the intial series is gone and no clues to pick up!! Aw well, I don't have a good completion rate on series!!

Arrived here with Ms Wig and was glad there was no one about! we searched up and down, then I thought, hmmm, what about here!! Ah there it is!!

Thanks K8'n'Co, I did enjoy the series while it lasted!!

After having our morning at Yum Cha this one was on Mr Gaps agenda, apparently he had been unable to find it last time so we was on a mission to find this one....seriously Mr Gap I don't know why it took you so long back then

Found it together with teamklickklick. Unfortunately our journey will come to the end.

TFTC Sonisafari

at our last day in Brisbane and Australia we searched the cache with soniasafari. We listend the Orgelplayer and visited the Church where any worker occupied with painting. T4tc

Nice church cache was found after a bit of searching. No swaps today.

Narrowed down the places to search while waiting for a troupe with hula hoops to move on from outside the community centre. Found quickly after that. TFTC

Saw it threw times before it clicked it could be the cache. Had nothing to leave so took nothing. Cheers for the cache Mitch and Claire plus the geobaby

Found with non-geocaching friends! Taken traceable 7314JT

Sorry for the delay: TB in

Because we had only the information, that there was a cache, it was not so easy to find. We must go to the internet and call cgeo to get the hint. After that we didn't understand why we had not found this big box before. In Germany we say, that we had tomatoes on our eyes:) TFTC!

Found it after checking the hint and just when the sunday- service of the church ends. In TB and happy hunting from Berlin\ Germany

TB in

Tftc

Easy find TFTC

Good hide

I've ridden past this church a million times, and I'd ridden past it again today when I decided to turn around and have a look for this cache. Easy find, thanks K8'n'co!

Day 5 of the 31 day streak challenge.

We drive past this church every work day and this one has been taunting us every time. After the challenged was announced it became one that we could look at on the way home, and that way home was today.

Missed the turn and did a block before walking over to GZ. Very shortly that noise that means only one thing, cache found. TFTC

Coords had me looking on the wrong side initially, but quick find once I switched to the other side. TFTC.

The GPS wouldn't settle, so had to try our best. Steps which set of steps, but MrGT54 soon had the well hidden cache in hand. Had walked right past it. Took TB. Dropped off Geo-coin. TFTC

Found the 29-7-2013.

Disappointed that we could not get inside to take a look at the pipe organ this morning. Thanks for the cache from West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA

Found today on a nice "winter" morning. Too bad we could not get inside to see the pipe organ. Thanks for the hunt.

Walked from Windmill to this one with lunch at southbank in between. Didn't take too long to find and thankfully was large enough to place a trackable I picked up in Melbourne. Nice church, tftc

Easy find. TFTC!

Beautiful music night.
