can't find

Cant find it

Looked everywhere and not even 4 sets of eyes could find it, although we did find a spot where it seems it should have been located. Not sure if it has been muggled but will definitely be back to give it another shot.

The only thing I found was a toad ,this needs to be checked by CO

No find here today oh well.. On to the next one..

Did not find!

Didn't find but yes we saw the toad aswell...

Beautiful Gardens, unfortunately couldn't find the cache

No Cache but found a dirty big toad in the hole!![xx(]

Can CO check on this cache and let us know if it is there and well hidden please? Lots of DNF's over the past couple of months.

Unsuccessful today

looked for quite a while and did not locate this beast, maybe a check would be good from Duck! to make sure all is ok. They are lovely gardens though.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Possibly missing ?

Couldn't find it

Sad face, the only one we couldn't get today. will try again.

Think we were in the right place. No cache

Maybe needs new log... Charming messages inside.

Dig a little and you will find what your looking for

Found with detective88.

I didn't even know this was here in queens park. What a nice peaceful place! So peaceful that you may want to have a snooze, as we spotted 2 muggles doing! Not sure I would though - I'm sure id wake to find one of the forty thousand resident lizards crawling on my face!

New log wouldn't hurt, resisted the urge to leave my phone number (not)

Very nice garden!

TFTC!

New logbook needed

Found

Tftc.a quick easy find.we had to sign the inside front cover as the book is full.:-)

Beautiful place to visit, will be back for sure again to appreciate it more thanks duck! FYI - log book is now full and the Fairy still remains as we had nothing to trade.

Found it!!!!

found this one while spending some one on one time with my youngest son Josh
cords seem to be a little out but figured it was due to all the trees once we read the hints Josh reached around and grabbed it

Another busy spot. A bus load of tourists were entering the park as we arrived. Luckily they spread into nicely spaced groups as they walked round the gardens. Found the cache, signed the log and replaced it between the passing groups

# 6188 Found on our 2013 winter escape trip to Qld.
We are in Ipswich for a few days to have a good look around.
No muggles around here today and another quick find logged and off again.
Another day of the 31 day challenge completed as well.
Thanks for the cache Duck!,
Roostaman.

Love this place, always a nice place to unwind under a tree with a good book & allow the world to pass on by. Located cache quickly & sat on the wall to sign as geokids went exploring, a few muggles today so just sat reading through the log & am glad kids where not reading it as it appears to have been muggled at some stage & had some quite inappropriate comments & pictures written / drawn throughout other than that log in perfect condition although we signed the very last page so will need replacing. TFTC

Dodged he odd wedding party to find this one. No muggles at GZ. Quick and easy find. TFTC - all in good nick, though log due to be replaced. TFTC.

Beautiful gardens- enjoyed finding this cache while passing through Ipswich on our year-long trip around Australia.

Not enough time before closing for a thorough search, and families of photogenic muggles impeded efforts. Next time, gadget, next time.

Quick easy find with our Australian Cousins. TFTC

nice and easy, lovely afternoon walk

nice cache, had to be careful of the kids on school holidays.

Beautiful spot!!!! Found it on day out with kids..

Looks like a drug container

The compass was playing tricks on us today and after searching where we thought it was we used a photo from a previous cache hunter and relised we were looking in the wrong rocks. Once we worked out the angle we found it quickly.
Left an air force tattoo.

Found with TriBre and BosNewellgus.

Got a new GPSr yesterday so what better way to test it out than to find some caches.

We found a number of caches around the Ipswich area today.

Another Great day out caching with Mastamak & BosNewellgus, we had done about 30 the day before on the north side of Brisbane and we decided to head towards Ipswich this time.

I have to say I was like a kid in a toy store when I located this cache, as the last time I attempted this there was a wedding party taking photos and I got the "Move On command" as I was hanging around too much! This time it was like I was meant to find the cache with no issues, walked right up to it and took it out its hidie hole!

This was the 10th find of 19 finds for the day.

TFTC Duck! #1571

Very easy find.

Sat on the rock and enjoyed a moment of peace whilst signing the log.

TFTF first find of the day for my birthday and geowife. Beautiful area

Lovely garden.. Must be the smallest log book ever.. Nice find.. TFTC

Was a little thrown by the trees but got there, thanks

Beautiful spot for a cache so peaceful

Last find for the day, what a beutiful garden. Got close with GPS then used the hint to narrow down the search area. Log is nice and dry. TFTC

This one has been on my "to do" list for far too long. In the area today and got the find between bursts of rain. Cache all safe and dry. Cheers Duck!

Beautiful park. Saw a wedding. A lizard crawled in between the rocks before I could get the cache. It was more scared of me than I was of it. Tftc.

Tricky find, GPS all over the place under the trees, photos are deceiving if this is the correct cache. found with teamg101 and geo-daughter & geo-baby!

Ahhhhh trees and my gps!!!! Needed to use the hint and found photos deceiving.

My 289th cache.
Thank you for a nice stroll through Ipswich.
Regards from Bavaria

Been waiting to get this one for awhile. We are regulars here but love to bring other people to this awesome place that is still mostly undiscovered. As soon as I accumulate another one I will add a favourite here just because this is not a place to miss, especially if you have kids. TFTC

TFTC really nice place will definitely be back here!

This was our first ever attempt at finding a geocache and it was like finding el dorado. My grandson and I are hooked

Fourth time lucky for me with this one.... every time I had tried to go looking for this cache the Japanese gardens were closed :/ So, being out in the area with Captain Terror I made sure to make it here before the shut the gates on me again Easy find and happy to have this one marked off my list

tftc

Haven't been through these gardens since 2006, and WOW!! It's so beautiful now!! The trees are huge and everything is much more established!!

Thanks for giving us a reason to come back here!!

Cache in good condition. TFTC!

Japanese gardens are always such fascinating places to visit. We followed the path around till we got to GZ for a quicj find. On our way to the next cache we were asked if we knew where the Japanese Gardens were - which we did.

tftc duck

It was still early and the gardens had just opened, so we had the place to ourselves. Lovely grounds to walk around with a babbling brook through the center. We widened the search a bit to locate the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1143. Such beautiful gardens. So neat and serene with lovely water features. Would love to see it in mid Spring-time. We were here early on a weekday morning so had the place to ourselves. Had a wander and admired it. Found a cache and admired that too..... Thanks for bringing us here Duck!

This was such a serene place to visit this morning and we had the place to ourselves.
Loved the curved paths, manicured grass and water features.
A lovely place
Thanks Duck!

Found! I visited this garden not long after it first opened. It was beautiful then but it is magnificent now that its established. Thanks Duck for bringing me back here.

Damn, park closed!

Thank for bringing us to this garden. Coord is 8-10m off for me. Maybe it was the tree cover or my phone.
TFTC SL.

Nice eazy find in a lovely garden.

I think this was our 4th visit to find this one,

This was a wonderful garden to perambulate through, although muggles in front of us made it less peaceful, but luckily they headed for the pavilion when we needed to search for the cache. Perfect timing. We had an event to get to, though, so we didn't spend as much time here as we'd have liked. TFTC, Duck! =^.^=

After a bit of an early morning walk in a nicely laid out Japanese garden this one was easily found TFTC

A Japanese Garden in Ipswich..... now that was quite a pleasant unexpected surprise!!

Quite enjoyable, thanks Duck!!

Nice gardens lovely afternoon stroll TFTC

Lovely garden nice and peaceful TFTC:)

It was very peaceful walking through here this morning and would have to be one of the nicest Japanese gardens I've seen. Cache found safe and dry. Thanks Duck.

found this one nice and fast, a few muggles around since it was such a nice day.... found and hide without beening seen.... TFTC

Nerima Gardens is a lovely place to visit. The arrangement and contents of the gardens is very good. We strongly recommend visiting this lovely area. Whilst we were there we saw both ends of the age spectrum. Anglicare workers had brought a number of elderly people into the gardens for a walk. Also, there was a meeting of young mums - they had gathered so that their children could play and then make a group visit to feed the animals. This garden has the capacity to cater for all age groups. In between these groups walking past, we were able to locate the cache and sign the lof. The cache and contents are in good condition. TFTC Duck!

Up in Ipswich today for one of my other loves Steam Trains.

A friend had told us about them running through town at certain times so we had headed up in plenty of time to get to the vantage point.

Having satisfied one addiction we turned our attention back to our new love.

We had just found our furry friend so we decided to head a bit further up the hill to check this one out.

Unfortunately due to major work at the main entrance to the gardens we were diverted and tried to find the current entrance but the signs were so confusing we just headed back to the car for some lunch and a warm up as the wind was freezing.

We decided to take a complete circuit of the park when we thought we may as well leave and check it another day and by chance we noticed the top entrance.

It was a lovely walk along the windy paths enjoying the Japanese style garden and the cache was quickly found.

Thanks Duck again for bringing us to this beautiful park TFTC SL

This was find #2 today and what a find it was! We have visited Queens Park several times but never knew this garden existed - and wow, it was beautiful.

The boys loved the asian inspired garden, particulary the proclaimed 'kung fu panda hut' - where they kung-fu'ed their way around the bamboo - leaping stone paths, and hiyaying their way over the wooden boardwalk - it was a sight to be seen

Thanks to the hint the cache was found quickly, log signed cache replaced before any muggles had a chance of catching us - we were like stealth ninjas

Thanks for bringing us here Duck!

Thank you Duck! for taking me to this beautiful garden. I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. The only muggle around was one of the garden workers. Managed to avoid him and sign log. this gets a fav point for being such a beautiful place. TFTC

Great park, great whether, great cache. Found it without much difficulty however there were quite a few muggles about. TFTC

Was not expecting that type of container, if I didn't notice the words written on the top I would have dismissed it as a drug addicts stash or something. Signed log.

Plenty of muggles around today, but geobub proved to be a distraction and gave us the ability to disguise our otherwise suspect behaviour.

Despite working in west Ipswich for 8.5 years, I had no idea this Japanese garden was here at all (nor the zoo nearby). Very, very attractively presented.
Cache was easily found with the hint and logbook is in perfect condition. Many thanks for luring me here Duck!

After searching in the wrong place for awhile, it dawned on me on what the hint was referring to (as without GPS we were working just off the zoomed out map and just prior knowledge of the area). However when we got to where it was, a council worker said that the place was just about to close. Will come back soon to log it!

Caching with brother Colin, Iolanthek and captain terror. Looks like the area is getting a bit of work done. Found the cache easily. Signed log and moved on. Thanks for the cache

Out in Ipswich today with Net88, Iolanthe and Brother Colin. As I sat in the backseat it was nice to have someone else navigate and soon we were parked and on foot, inbound to the cache. S deviation required when we came across a roped off track, but soon got to the spot and Colin wasted no time spotting the cache. Nice quick one in a nice garden, I'm surprised this location doesn't get muggled more often, lucky I guess. TFTC Duck

Nice find. Lovely park. Saw the dragon gaurdians

Out and about with Net88, Captain Terror & IolantheK in the Ipswich area.

Another fantastic stop for the day. Great park. We first tried entering from the side but the fences stopped us, so we drove around.

The cache was dry and OK.

Thanks for the cache.

Today I headed out Ipswich way with Brother Colin, Net88 and Captain Terror.

Loved being in Queens Park. I have a daughter living in Japan, and we visited her there last year, so this Garden brought back some lovely memories TFTC, Duck!

With all the rain and tree cover I could not get a lock on the location, that with the fact there was two wedding party's taking photos in the area. I have to say the area is just what i needed to end my day! I was on 4 finds and like 8 DNF's!

I will be back with the family.

good find

Amelia has been bringing me her bike helmet for days saying Ta. So GeoGrandma and I took the hint and brought her for a ride to get this cache.
Beautiful park.
Tftc

Had half an hour to kill before and appointment and decided to take Amelia on her bike to find this cache.
She lllooooovved the water dragon in the water, and the ducks

TFTC ...[^]... Duck

My absolute favourite places to visit are gardens like this. Thanks for bringing me here and I am giving you a favourite point.

After missing out on going through the animal enclosure due to being shut,we moved onto some lovely gardens. Had to be crafty in extracting cache from hidey hole and replacing as plenty of muggles about. Thanks for bringing us into these gardens as have never been here before. Log dry. TNLN TFTC Thanks Duck!

Found on a wet Saturday. Very nice gardens. TFTC. Nearly needed extraction tool to get log book out.

Fast find in a great area with Geodad TFTC!!
