23-Jan-11
It was very tempting to go for a swim. SL TFTC
 
22-Jan-11
Gps spot on
As with previous log ground very boggy around area
Best to walk as close to hide as possible as not far of road and gardener has mowed close to area for easier access .
Wish we had taken our own advice as we got really soggy shoes retrieving this one
tftc
 
11-Jan-11
Found on the first day of the Brisbane floods 2011. It wasn't raining but I got soaked from the sodden greenery and the ground was so wet I had to do some acrobatics and balancing to get to the GZ without getting wet shoes.
Thanks Diesel48 and also Bristracker for drying it out.
 
06-Jan-11
Found this one on another wet day in January. Happy Wet New Year TFTC
 
22-Nov-10
Did some maintenance on this one after finding it damp. Dried out cache container, put log in new bag so it should be good for a while now.
 
22-Nov-10

#4356 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba and Big Matt. This was a great use of stealth, as the gardeners did their stuff so did I without them even knowing.
Thanks
 
22-Jul-10
Found this cache with steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4152nd overall find.

Found at about 1:41 PM. Parked right in front of it and made a stealthy find.

Thanks to diesel48 for the cache.

22-Jul-10
Found with The Rats and Big Matt as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

The garden maintenance men were out in force today with their blowers so we used the cover of the car to assist with this one. A nice spot with the pool and the park. TFTC!
 
18-Jul-10
Quick find on a muggle free day - no swimming this time of year. TFTC.
 
18-Jul-10
A quite, colder winter day. This would be busy in Summer TFTC Diesel48
 
09-Jul-10
This was cache # 10 of 41 on another hard day at the office. As soon as I arrived at this location I was reminded of my good friend La Kedi who has been involved in this type of band. My thanks to Diesel48 for the cache.
 
30-Jun-10
Found. Last in the day after a massive day of caching. Saw something that just wasn't quite right as soon as I walked in. TFTC
 
22-Jun-10
TFTC Diesel48.

Number 399 (I think) and last for the day.

Number 400 will require a kayak according to Fangsoki.

While signing the log one of those pesky cache dwellingbfrogs hopped on in.
 
15-Jun-10
Great clue ,walked straight to it ,if you have kids ,please watch out for broken bottles and needles

14-Mar-10
Had tried to find this one before and it was where it should have been, I just didn't "dig" far enough. Was glad to get it this time around. Left a couple of small items. TFTC.
 
14-Mar-10
Found this one tonight on our way home from picking up my niece in Brisbane. It was dark and raining so there were no muggles about. Found it quickly with the hint in only the small amount of time it took me to walk in. It sure helps that no one was about and we didn't have to look innocent. Phew! TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache Diesel48.

Proved a bit difficult at first but got there in the end. Could imagine this one could be quite a challenge on a hot weekend. TFTC TNLNSL
 
15-Feb-10

Glad to find somebody else has missed it. All the muggles were at a swim meet next door. I got down on all fours and looked around but couldn't see it and ants were crawling on me. Will take a Lucky Geocacher with me next time, someone like Aussie Liahona, to find it quick smart. Also noticed that the pool is named after a very promising young swimmer who died before he could reach his potential.
 
06-Feb-10
Found it late PM today (17:16) SmileSmile

Can't believe I have missed it so many times before now that I have found it Red FaceRed Face

Today was a nice easy find while trying to clean up a few caches that have been eluding me in my local area...

TNLNSL

Thanks to Diesel48 for the cache Smile
 
26-Jan-10
I remember coming here as a kid for swimming lessons - things have changed quite a bit since then...discussed with Mr Agap2 as to the best approach for this one too hot & too many muggles to hang around waiting for too long, I took a dive in and scrambled around handing the cache to Mr Agap2 to sign, replaced quickly Big Grin TFTC
 
26-Jan-10
Arrived here with Ms Wig on a very hot day, therefore many many muggles about. Approaching GZ, we had to come up with some kind of plan. Ms Wig decided the low approach would be best while I keep watch. She had the cache in hand quickly, so did some quick signing and returned the cache safely.

Thanks Diesel48

Only a few aquatic muggles in the area this morning leaving me to hunt in peace when they enterred the nearby pool.

WIll now have to check how many more there are out there...

It still took a me a couple of circuits of the object before I located the cache. TNLN.
 
22-Oct-08
Had a quick man's look for this cache but the gardner was brush cutting on the other side of the park. It was just too hard to have a serious look.
