What a shame

G'day pirate63,

This geocache appears to be in need of owner maintenance. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the geocache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the geocache 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. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date.

No smiles today, found lid only

Found what we we think was the lid, an eclipse mints tin lid coloured black.

Found the lid but no case as others have mentioned

Can not find.

look for an hour and still couldn’t find it

DNF. Second time visiting this cache. Can owner confirm if it's still there? Lid of mint container found.

Unable to find? muggle maybe?

DNF, found lid seems it may not exist anymore, searched for half an hour

Out for a country drive and after lunch at the local Cafe came to find this one. 2 possible muggles sitting where we needed to be, but they left when we walked to the station. Found with silverfox1970 and firebatman88. TFTC.

I think I was close, but a tad nervous about the wasp nests; perhaps more luck another time!

Visiting my brother Hando down here. Finally made it down here. No Thomas here but I did find a little poser of a lizard

Fun find, took us a bit. Thanks

Very fun to find on a long trip( beware you might get dirty).

Nice but beware the wasps there, I found out they hurt! TFTC

Found it! Don't think we would've without hints from others here. Luckily, we were the only visitors. TFTC!

On a weekend away from Brissy, staying in Fernvale.

Ignore GPS on this one, a bit off. This cache took a few mins to find. Cache is in good condition, dry with room in the log.

TFTC. Found with Ali.

found with gorjess516

Found with granny Ari rafa and some ice blocks on a hot day. Thanks for the hints by previous cachers.

Found it a bit of a puzzle. Previous clues helped. Look down before looking up.

Today, I joined E_Smiley with our plan to hike at Crows Nest National Park, targeting a few Q100 oldies that included Perseverance Pays No 1 and 2.We had arranged to meet at Toogoolawah, and I elected to take the drive north of Lake Wivenhoe via Wivenhoe Outlook and Red Cedar. We took a few stops at the small cluster of geocaches north of Lake Perseverance that took longer than I had anticipated, and so we eventually arrived at Crows Nest National Park for our walk. The river and pools were great, but I hadn't anticipated the mapped track to essentially be non-existent, so it was a much tougher slog than I had thought. If that challenge wasn't tough enough, we thought we had just enough time to take a drive south to another Crows Nest National Park section, where we then hiked up to Perseverance Pays No 1. A friendly walk along fire tracks, but the last scramble section was challenging, but the views were terrific. We made it back to Toogoolawah well after our planned end time, but it was a fantastic day nevertheless.This was a cache that I stopped at whilst I was on my way home. Gievn that this was a special Q1000 oldie, it was an important step whilst in Esk. This took a little longer than it probably should have, and I had the cache slightly away from the posted coordinates. The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook was a little damp. Thanks pirate63 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Think it is no longer in place. Not sure!

That was a good one. Had to use hint and comments from others to help me find it!!

Stopped in the pretty town of Esk for lunch and a few caches with fellow cachers, Citydwellerz.
The fellas had a look for this cache first and couldn’t find it! They returned to the picnic tables swearing and whinging about it - especially as Girlscout2007 had found it earlier in the day!! It went something along the lines of, ‘We’re veterans with Rwanda, Iraq and Afghanistan under our belts - we can’t be beaten by a girl scout!!’
After lunch and a bottle of champagne had returned their humour, and we checked past logs, we all went back for another search. Success!!
Cache has a new lid and is in good condition.
TFTC and many great laughs

Great day out with our besties swampdevil had our first look didn’t find it retreated for champagne and sandwiches and reviewing some of the logs….aahaah quickly found it on our second look inspired by Moët Chandon and girlguide2007

Very tricky even with the clue. Keep hunting it is there!

Woohoo!!! Good hide.

Quick find but no lid on cache. Replaced container and placed new log. The old logs were illegible should all be good now TFTC

In Esk for the night. A walk around Esk and over to the Rail trail and the old railway station. Quick find. In okay condition giving the lid is missing. Paper okay. TFTC

Took two visits before I found it. TFTC

Found whilst on a very non direct route to QOGM - Charleville 2022. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching. TFTC pirate63
Find #10815

A break from cycling the rail trail series. Great to see the original station still in use as part of the trail.

Container is missing lid and is ready for a new log book.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Log signed in first open spot with stamp

Event on today but managed to sneak the find. TFTC.

Found by geokid 9 , clever hide . Watch the wasps on the deck . TFTC

Nice hide! The cache may need replacing as the lid is broken.

Found on the 2nd January 2021. It was the day we spread my fathers ashes. I cannot believe we had this levity in the proceedings to grab a few caches, yet I did not log them.

This one took us ages to find. In fact, I remember we looked around outside of the station house for ages before heading to our appointment. We returned afterward and ventured inside and to the platform to the Eastern side. It really kept us going.

Thanks for the comic relief on an otherwise very sad day. TFTC!

found it!! super fun hint was helpful

TFTC

i did not find it? was it inside the the station?

Omi35 NBJ

Found

Waiting for wife at toilets, so I came here to locate a hidden object, Thanks, pirate63, for the hide, it is in good condition today, despite all the rain we have had, very nice and cosy, and now has my sign

Found it tucked away

Thanks! Our first ever find

Found with our dance friends whilst visiting Esk for a QLD Ballet workshop. TFTC

Grabbed it at a garden festival, got a few looks but was overall fun

The hint was a little misleading but once I'd checked the obviously wrong spots, I realised what was being suggested and soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks for find #3680

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
A quick find and sign. No prob.

Still no luck despite being dressed for laying around in the garden. If muggles came by they wouldn’t have seen me.

Tftc pirate63, in town to start the rail trail series, grabbed this as we were looking about town

Found on our way to Maroochydore, we are from Melbourne this is the first in WLD. TFTC

The log is in very poor shape, need maintenance.

Did not find had a god lol around here, looks like there may have been some work to the station and it may have temporarily been placed in another location

Sneaky little hide, found but didn’t sign. TFTC

Home time we grab this on the way home. With bit of a detour.
Couldn’t find the cache in first few spots. Read log and new where to look. Cache sign and replace.

Tftc ... beautiful spot .. needed clues from prev log to find it

Muggles in the waiting room. They were not in a hurry, but we were!

Cache blindness today!

Mrs and I stopped in on our way home from camping, beautiful spot. GPS had us a little confused but the other comments and photos helped a lot

Found and signed tftc!

Easy find while going out to lunch

Log needs maintenance. Lovely place

Think outside of the box when it comes to the hint.
Super fun find,

Cheers,
Sunny & Alanah

Great. Needs a new log book. Thanks.

First find on our way up the range for a day of caching

No muggles around. Great little park. TFTC

Stopped in on our way home from the Sunshine Coast. No one around so it was a quick find. Tftc pirate63

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching

Nice one.

This was a dnf from long ago. Today, I was here for the BVRT geoart and a quick search (which more knowledge under my belt) resulted in a quick find. DNF avenged.

On our adventure to locate as many of the puzzle caches as we can, we came across this sneaky little traditional. A thorough search of the GZ along with the helpful hint and the log book was signed. TFTC

Found it!

Gotta look down before looking up to find this one

This one was a nice quick park and grab on our return home from a weekend away up in Toowoomba. TFTC pirate63

Hint is definitely the key to this one. Little difficult but a great find. Not much paper left to write on. Maybe needs a top up.

Apologies for the red, it's the only ink I had. Oops.
