No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
Searched high and low to no avail. Based on other recent comments it appears this cache has been muggled. Perhaps owner visit is required!
At least 6 DNFs now. Cache doesn't appear to be there. Owner hasn't logged in for 4-5 months to the site. Probably warrants at least disabling, and if no response archival. Cheers Gav
We couldn't find it.
It might be time for an owner vsit to confirm whether or not its still there?

Plenty of eyes and fingers looking in between games at the softball carnival but no cache.....
Visiting with wessarah for softball carnival - introduced many of the team to geocaching and they were fascinated and couldn't believe these things are just lying around. They were very disappointed as this one appears to be missing. TFTH
Looked extensively around this area with several pairs of eyes and fingers. Found half a dozen likely spots, but no sign of a cache. Will try again once we have a bit more experience at this game!
Found tucked very neatly away. Nobody playing on the fields today which made it a nice search. Thanks Toey97
Found laying on the ground in the open....placed it back where it should be TFTC Toey97
Found with muddtrax and found the nice hiding place . Log is wet ! We introduced some family members to this activity and they enjoyed themselves as well TFTC SL
Legged it from nearby cache in the dark. Last cache for the night. Found with Krossbo. Nice little sneaky hide. TFTC!!
Found this one a while back but lost the list to record find. Now I have found the list and ready to go again.
A nice easy first find for the day. The GPSr led me straight to it - and not a muggle in sight. As reported, the log was damp but usable. TFTC Toey97
Back in my hometown doing a few caches with a friend.
Log very damp after rain.
Log very damp after rain.
found while on holiday visit to Toowoomba . enjoyed a few hours walking around the wetlands.TFTC
Found easily enough, but the problem was dodging the pluvers on the way back to the geocar!
OUR FIRST FIND FOR THE DAY
FOUND IN AN OBVIOUS SPOT AS GPS STILL NOT BACK FROM MANUFACTURER HAD TO USE THE BRAIN AND EYES INSTEAD OF TECHNOLOGY
SPORTS PLAYERS REALLY DO HAVE GREAT FACILLITIES HERE

Recon this one needs a higher difficulty rating. Mrs Herbz finally managed to eek it out of it's hidey hole. TFTC.
Spent some time looking for this one but found the little begged happy hunting all
In t'ba for the next two weeks. Had this morning free so off for a spot of caching. Couldn't immediately find it. Had a read through the logs and I think I found the obvious hide spot but nothing there. I will watch this one to see if it gets found.
Toowoomba 10.7. This was painful, I managed to check so many spots and the real one was very well protected by cover, so much so I was well on my to giving up. I am glad I persisted. Thanks.

Last one for the day, 10 out of 10. Great to see all caches active unlike many tried on the Sunshine Coast.
Well done Toowoomba cachers.
Well done Toowoomba cachers.
After waiting for a break in the traffic, cache quickly in hand, log signed, and cache returned in the next lull of passing vehicles. Too cold for anyone to be out on the fields today.
Have shied away from this one on several occassions, bus laods of busses and btstanders make the find a little difficult, hoever, no a vehicle to be dseen anywhere and one bloke and his dog out walking.
Another Mrs RF blitz, cache in hand before I had finished reading the hint.
Cache and Log are both in good condition.

After several attempts at trying to find this, found it lying on the ground, very close to where it was obviously hidden. I restored to its hidden position.
Our 3rd search for this one and we finally found it. Can't understand how we missed it before TFTC and the challenge.
I think this may be muggled because We made it to the right spot and the clue led us to a likly spot. Nothing there but I did find a pen. TFTC.
Was at exact location. Saw where it could've been hidden, but place was empty! I think it may have been muggled again!
Looks like this one could have been muggled. Unless it is a very clever hide we searched all the likely places around and some not so likely both near GZ and not so near.
The softballers were just leaving as we pulled up to get this cache. After some fruitless poking around in a location that I was glad the cache wasn't in, in the end, I found it hidden safe and sound very close. TFTC ='.'=
I started caching with StormyKnights. My sister and I have decided to make up our own profiles so we can see who has found each cache
May the Geo-contest begin [B)]
Thanks for the Cache

Hi, I’m “stellbell 67†and I have been caching as a member of StormyKnights. My brother and I have decided to create our own log-in to reflect accurately how many caches each of us have found (not that we are competitive – hardly!)....
Therefore this entry has been added retrospectively.

Found the cache easily enough as it was quite exposed. Had to pick our time to grab it between passers-by. Watched the softball games for a while under the shade of the trees. Replaced the cache in the exact same location, but covered so as not to be seen from people walking along the path.

Looked in all the obvious places using a Geo-pokie stick and found a spot that I would have used. But alas nothing found. Owner should check. Top spot right next to a busy road, but far enough away not to raise suspicion.
No joy for us. The obvious hidey hole was full of water but not a cache.
Till next time.
Till next time.
Had GZ believe we were in the right place but no cache to be found I do believe this needs to be checked by the owner as I feel it is gone
found easy, but was very exposed, so put it back in same position but covered it with a small piece of wood.
This one was tricky to extract but I just got geoson to extract it because he has little fingers. I was really impressed with the sports ground. TFTC
A nice quick find while in Toowoomba for a birthday bash. Was a little tricky to remove but not too much trouble.

5.50pm. Last one for the day. Easy find but a bit hard to get at.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Found with Gunnie69 and Silversovereign, quick find by Silversovereign I was still walking on passed this one, turned around and it was already being extracted TFTC.
Road works in the area enabled some sneaky road side parking for this one.. [^] Arrived at GZ and Silver Sovereign spotted the cache immediately. GIB69 and I were still familiarising ourselves with the area... Our story anyway...
Log signed, the cache was returned and we got outta there before we were confronted by the local constabulary about the parking....
Cheers Toey97.

OOHHH my GOSH pretty bugs everywhere!!!! Quick it is freezing don't worry about the bugs. I am not to keen on bugs so in goes Straddie Heaven coming up with the goods. TFTC
Found late in the afternoon. Pretty green bugs were hiding out in the tree to keep warm. TFTC
Too wet for softball today. Got some curious looks from people driving past with us standing in the drizzle doing something in a park!
Good hide. TFTC
Good hide. TFTC
Lots of road construction going on near this cache! So it is a difficult one during working hours now. So you will have to time your visit carefully. And I can confirm that a number of largish beetles have taken up residence with the container. The cache is in good condition though. Thanks for an interesting and changing cache Toey97.
Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. Quick find after picking Geoson up from school.

nice easy find inbetween all the bugs that seemed to be using the hiding spot as shelter from the rain!! eek!
A quick find after parking the geomobile in the construction area. Glad to see that the large roller hadn't paid a visit in my short absence.
Decided to have arvo tea on GZ as a bit of a distraction. There was a guy sitting in his car directly opposite for the whole time so made a stealthy extraction difficult!!
Quick find with Mrs L&L and Bedmaker. I like the way the container sits on that little shelf just out of the water in the bottom of the hole. Gonna have to watch this one when it rains 'Toey97'. TN/LN/SL
Lets say I didn't have much trouble finding this one as there was queue to sign the log book.

Cache was not in the hide. Found it out on the grass some distance from Gnd Zero after giving up on the find. It is now safely in it's hide again and well hidden. TFTC
