Training Bethania Bethania, Queensland, Australia
By Diesel48 on 26-Aug-08. Waypoint GC1FN8P

Checked out the cache and found that the gardens have been redone. Cache gone missing so I will archive it.

Found this cache before & decided to search for it again with the view of dropping off TB. Looked in the area where we originally found it (which was close to co-ordinates) & wasn't able to find it this time. Possibly missing in action?

Could not find this one. Hope you have better luck.

Wanted to pick up a trackable that has been stuck for a while but couldn't find the cache. Could someone check on this one?

Had a good look around with Cute Bunny but couldn't find any cache ... It sounds like the pool party was still going

Decided today was a good day to grab the few caches in this area. After GPS tried to make me walk across the train lines I ended up parked in the appropriate carpark. Lovely walk to GZ through a very nice park. Plenty of room here for any sort of get-together. There also must have been a pool party next door as there was rather loud music drifting over the fence. Arrived at GZ and found in second place I looked. Conatiner with my name written on it was a touch spooky. There was a train went by as I walked back to the car too. TFTC. I dropped off a TB too.

Found with the original co-ords. Unfortunately so have the ants. Cleaned container out as best I could. Replaced the log baggie and put it back where I found it. Left a TB TFTC

Have visited the cache and found that it was not where it was originally placed. It is now back to the original and correct co-ordinates.

Rain shall keepeth the muggle away - it certainly did in this nice big park. I used Lokipagan's co-ords and nearly bumped into the cache - so they worked for me. An interesting hide The cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC diesel48

Coords were about 10m out for us. I have provided our coordinates when at GZ. Plenty of trains going past today. TFTC diesel48

Found with OzVixen.

Found after a long search - just when we'd given up hope, we extended our search area and voila! How did we miss it the first time? found with Portenya.

My, my, what a lot of trains use this nearby track. Found the cache nicely hidden in this little park that wasn't getting any use today (except by us of course). TFTC

The trains were whizzing past today, almost every 10 minutes! But nary a soul in the park, which was looking a bit neglected, sadly. Cache was found after a little bit of a search, safe and well. TFTC. =^.^=

Found without any problems.
In: 1 Euro
Out: Lines Roll

I found it and it was Cache Number 450 for me. I think the cache listing could be updated, Noffke Park has more facilities than when the cache was p laced. There is a bbq for one thing. Lots of caches in this area have taken us near train lines and they do indeed go whizzing past. Still a couple more for me in the Training Series of caches. Left a pencil in this one because it needed one. Brought along a few trackables for a visit.

This one was number 14 for me, great spot, cute little creek and bridge in this park. Found this one quickly, luckily as it was getting cold and it looked as though it was about to rain.
Took: wooden lizard
Left: 2x marbles

Came out caching today with Bristracker and a newbie YAZ.DAV. Found this cache nice and quickly for which we were grateful. It was near the end of our caching afternoon and there were many dark clouds and spits of rain. Cache nice and dry and a good size. What a nice little park this one is. Thanks for bringing us here diesel48. Our newbie spotted a beautiful white pony in the street going up by the cache. Caching takes you everywhere. TFTC! A couple of trackables were spotted here - Camo Kay and Betzy the Beast. They only visited.
Took: 0 Left: pirate money

Had to make a delivery to the train station so took the opportunity to grab a cache as well. TFTH

Scurried over in the rain, signed the log book, then scurried back to the car... glad this one didn't take long



Thanks Diesel48

I think that is the end of our training for today, playing basketball here might be bit tricky at the moment. TFTC

Cache #26 on our Gold Coast to Brisbane road trip. This place seems to have seen better days. Shame about all the broken glass in the area. TFTC, Biggles.

Another neat parkland cache Deisel48. No muggles at the back of this park today. TFTC.

Nice park, great spot for a cache TFTC Diesel48

Bring the kids and the picnic basket here ,even saw a little girl with Dad in toe catching frogs or tadpoles,great hide

My first visit was with kingnano he was the one got me hooked on geocaching.......... so I had to do this one on my own

Found after a quick search. Took 'green wheel yo-yo', left 'danger sign' & signed log. TFTC!

Quick find around the corner from my house found with my mate felly50 for his first geofind. Charlotte's St Patty's Evil Micro Geocoin, was not in the cache? and no one had signed the log book since it had been dropped.

Went out for a walk on Mother's Day, quiet little park right near my Parents House. Found this one with GoShadow and my GeoDad. Also ran into some friends of ours as we were hunting this one down, they got us into this hobby!

Good size cache with lots of goodies for the GeoKids, Dropped off Charlotte's St Patty's Evil Micro Geocoin, picked up Puss in Boots & The Katoomba Sisters Geocoin.

TFTC

Happy Mother's Day! Visiting the grandparents on Mother's Day so we had to do an obligatory cache in the area. Lo and behold, we ran into friends honing in on the cache just after we replaced it - neither of us live anywhere near here so a big surprise!

Small world this - ran into another group we know well while popping in to place the nsw geocoin
Have fun guys!

2nd find oif the day, for some reason iphone didnt log in finds. my boys found this one pretty quickly

Found 14:47 (4th for the day)

Quite a nice park - lost of space for kids to run around & play [^]

TNLNSL

Thanks to Diesel48 yet again for the cache

This is our second find and in a park that we use all the time. The kids are loving it.

No spiders guarding the cache ... however, the local ant colony seemed to have made the (outside of the) container its home. Had to shake them off before opening the cache. Found on the way to the Gold Coast, on a mission to reach 2000 caches before the end of the year.TFTC

Found this one with abseilqld after work one day. Can't really say that much for the park... but TFTC anyway.

TNLN

Nice quick find this arvo.
TNLNSL, TFTC.

After a DNF at Swan Lake, I had to move on to this one, just to get my geo-fix for the day!
A nice and quiet park today and no arachnids either
Thanks Diesel48 !!

Had the park all to myself this morning so it was a nice casual hunt. Didn't take long to track down what I was after and I extracted the container to find it was being guarded by one or our arachnid friends... He was doing a fine job...

No such trouble with replacement, he was long gone and probably still muttering under his breath about being so rudely disturbed...

Cheers Diesel48.

Really Beauftiful Park area, Luck lovely warm day.Our dog love play big around....

Beautiful day for hunting.

Out with Mrs Happyharries - another great find. TFTC

Out today with Mrs Lollipop this was our fourth cache for the day nice easy find TFTC.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 10:35am. Stopped in the park for morning tea and find one cache. It took a few minutes to track down but all is well. TFTC

Found it No. 1218 ... nice cache ... T TB and left Chinese Coins

Took a penguin. Left "Leo" TB on behalf of Mrs Lat&Long. Great park that doesn't look like it gets much use. TFTC.

Mr Lat&Long left this Leo Travel Bug here for me. Thank you.

Nice quick find, had to wait for Muggles to leave before re-hiding it. Made no swaps, thanks for the cache.

It has become somewhat of a family tradition over the last few years to go caching during the afternoon of Christmas Eve. [^] THENANKS headed out and found some caches then went home for Ham and Cheese Melts before going to view the Christmas lights.

This was our third find for the afternoon. It was nice and easy, both the walk in and the hide. Thanks to Diesel!

an old chook visited

Well this might have been tough for gerrynewgirl but I thought that it was an easy one. TFTC TN left token.

Co ords way out from where weroamin eventually found this cache. Only one train wizzed past and this was on the way out of the location. TNLN. SL. TFTC.

Another walk in the park, caching, Claeton searched this one out, TFTC, SL.

A joint expedition with Smeeagain nice big park though puzzling about the lack of bbq`s found quite quickly though the ants who had made their nest under it weren`t happy when I picked it up
TFTC TNLN SL

I found meself toeing the line again today down Bethania way
This time around the station and it's ever present muggles were at a cacher friendly distance [^]
I had the trackside park to meself at sparrow fart this morning
It took me three passing trains to find the cache
I picked up RASCO travel bug.

Well this wasn't a true no find. I erred on the side of caution as a young couple were getting amorous very nearby. Training for something else maybe.

Nice little park. TFTC

This was a 2nd find for the day ,a nice quiet park when we where there. TFTC dropped off Rasco TB

Found it easy didn't know park was there
TFTC

Accompanied with Sevabo. Lovely park. We wander around the park. No swap. SL. Thanks Diesel48 for organising the cache and hunt.

Found it with Everlasting thanks for the hunt.

After visiting the retirement village and scratching my head,[?]
a quick look at the map had me heading in the right direction. After a quick stroll I arrived at the GZ, a quick look around and the cache is in hand, signed the log and put it back. Then I am being attacked from all directions by the local bird population. Anyway I got out alive thanks for the cache Diesel.

We took the Crew153 approach to this one. We followed the car Satnav directions and ended up in the car park of the local retirement village. Had a great chuckle when I went to log it tonight and saw Max's log. Great minds think alike

We drove around to the proper car park and made the short stroll across the park to GZ. The GeoKid found this one in a flash and we "Retired" to the nearby tables to complete the paperwork.

No swaps, but we grabbed the TB to keep him moving.

Thanks for the cache - We even got to see a train go past!

Found when a member of LEDGIN'S.

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1600. Nice walk in the park. Took TB. Left TB. SL TFTC

In Car GPS got me to a retirement village. Don't want to go there yet!.

A walk in the park was the better way to get there and the cache was spot on coordinates. Took out the Kombi TB and dropped in Strawberry Shortcake.

I think that 'PIRATE' has actually put railway wheels on his ship and cruises the rail lines of SEQ.well done Pirate.
