Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Well found the little guy but as previous logs suggest there is no log. I have a photo if you would like. Maintenance needed.
 
30-Mar-18
Needs maintenance.
 
30-Jan-18
Have looked more than once, and even with the help of the camera on my phone to look around corners, can’t find it
 
16-Dec-17
Some likely hides holes but no luck today - wonder if it has disappeared since last log requested maintenance
 
09-Apr-17
Found the little guy but no container to be seen like in the photos.
 
30-Jun-16
Aaargh.....i am obviously in the right spot. Have located what is the cache, i think. Can not remove this or find any access to the log.
Maybe the cache needs maintenance.
I have a photo if the CO needs it. Was really hoping to add a smiley to my list.
Maybe one day soon.......

Having waited until lunchtime for a break in the rain I decided it wasn't going to happen and I might as well head out and find my cache for the day. I looked on the map and found an easy terrain one that was only a short walk in the rain only to be muggled out when I got there. Nothing for it but to look at the map and find another one.

This one wasn't far away so I headed over here. It was a much longer walk and of course the rain had gotten heavier but I needed a cache for my streak. I got out my slightly-the-worse-for-wear umbrella, put my head down and trudged off to find it.

I almost walked right past it, I was so focussed on the trudging! Luckily I stopped to check the map and I was right at ground zero. A few minutes searching and I soon had the cache in hand. Now to go home and get out of my wet clothes (I really should buy a new umbrella).

First Geocache found! Thanks!

Took a wander across the oval and quickly grabbed this cache, amongst all the scrub turkeys busily making nests. The lid is no longer but still functions just fine.

This cache was found by Orange Crew at 11:14, bringing our grand total to 1748 smilies.

Thanks MoJoPossum for showing us this area, and for placing and maintaining this cache for us and others to find.
 
03-Oct-15
Tftc nice area to take the geopets for a walk
 
01-Oct-15
I had been to this cache previously, but, as there was sporting practice at the nearby oval, I didnt feel that I could make a stealthy grab for the cache. I figured that it would be easier to attempt during school holidays. After work today, I headed here and found the place quiet except for a few muggles walking along the track. I am used to that so bided my time before I made the grab for the cache. I was able to sign the log and return the cache to its hiding spot without attracting attention.

While I was at the local Army base for the week I thought I would get some extra smilies on the map. Set out on a bleak rainy evening to find a few. Went to this one thinking it would be all quiet, well how wrong was I. Massive towers of light and footy players everywhere running all along the paths and the playing fields.
Lucky for the long grass at GZ as that allowed me to use some stealth to drop in behind the grass to find this one. Now what a lovely cache container holder, when I saw it I thought of the cache name and realised that the name is what the holder is, I am guessing. Very cute, but some how the holder was wet but the log all dry.

Thanks for the walk and the cache holder was worth the trip in the rain.

Today we explored Ipswich and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Especially like the original hide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
 
04-Mar-15
Very cool how it attaches like that I grabbed during a quiet part of the day while in the area for work tftc
 
15-Feb-15
An easy one, especially if you look at the clue.
TFTC!

Cache is a little smaller than hoped as wanted to launch a tb, and this is a lovely spot. Quiet afternoon with heat a g20 in town. TFTC.

A & I found this one after swimming.
 
01-Oct-14
I had a little bit of spare time, so I took a half hour and had a walk through Ashgrove. I don't really know the suburb well so it was nice to have a little explore. As it happens I was just passing by (complete chance of course) so I stopped and had a quick look for the Chiropractor. I thought it was a bit of an odd name until I found the Chiroptera (that makes sense now).

Thanks for the fun hide and for bringing me to a new part of town Mojopossum.
 
29-Aug-14
Smile!!!!!tftc!!!!! Popped out for a short walk today and found so many muggles but was able to retrieve and log with no problem. The bag needs replacing but log was fine. What an interesting walk so many plaques! What an interesting cache loved that little one!!!
 
14-Aug-14
MUGGLE ALERT!
Along popular walking track with muggles trekking past every minute or so.
So needed to be stealth like in my searching.
Fortunately had dog with me so that gave me an excuse whilst searching.
TFTC!

Wingapp, we're loving your caches. Always fun and inventive.
 
17-Jul-14
Impressive tree hollow. TFTC.

A concerned muggle stopped me and asked if I was OK....I was obviously not as inconspicuous as I thought...time to brush up on my acting skills. A hard one to grab during the weekend footy. TFTC Mojopossum.

Thanks for the cache MoJoPossum

Fun little cache. So hot that no one around, but me and a furry critter holding a cache.

6th of 9 on a hot bike ride, but great cycling beside the cooling creek and cover

Cheers for the cache, Chiroptera.

Out for a ride along the Enogerra Bike Way out to The Gap and grabbed some caches along the way. Managed to find this one without any problems. Watched some local cricket while signing the log. Tftc
 
09-Oct-13
Found. Had to sign on back cover. Log full
 
09-Oct-13
Log full. Has to write on back civer
 
03-Oct-13
Found the little critter tucked away in its home.
Had to sign after Geona on 2/8/13 todays date as no room at end of logbook and did not have one that size with me.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Mojopossum Cool All good with this cache except needs new logbook
 
26-Sep-13
Found the little critter tucked away in its hide on a hot ol' day. Glad to escape the heat for a moment as I signed and returned. By signed, I mean, found a corner to write some semblance of my name; the log is as full as a goog and will need replacing. tftc Mojopossum
 
26-Sep-13
The logbook is full and canna take any more, Capt'n!

What a lovely hiding place! This was last one in my lunchtime cache hunt. TFTC
 
02-Aug-13
Missed this on the first look, just wasn't quite expecting what we found. This cache fits in almost too well. TFTC Mojopossum, we loved it.
 
25-Jul-13
quick find, cheers
logged the 23rd on the log, was meant to be the 25th- not that it really matters
 
21-Jul-13
But don't want to touch it!
 
10-Jul-13
Certainly not a terrain 1 by today's standards; still a very clever hide. Initially I took the "located off the path" in the description a little too literally and was too far down. Clambered back up to locate the cache. Thanks Mojopossum.
 
27-Jun-13
Very cool furry friend. TFTC
 
15-Jun-13
Lots of sport going on today all too busy watching the rugby. Easy find

A Quiet day of caching with Mastamak & BosNewellgus. Our aim was to complete the On Your Bike series, having completed that series it was time to move on.
What about finding a Chiroptera? At first I did not know what it was, but once at GZ it became very easy to understand what it was. I have to say the cache is very well thought out. Location is perfect and the little added cling feature is great! great job on this cache.

The cache was in good condition at the time of visit and found on a bright fresh day.

This was the 4th find of 30 finds for the day.

Out and about on a day of caching with TriBre & BosNewellgus.

A nice walk across the field to this one. I liked the container.

This one sent tribre batty. Log book full.

Wanting to attempt these Bikeways caches in the right way, I hired a city Cycle in the CBD and headed out to Newmarket where this ride would start. There are a couple of large hills between the CBD and the start of the bike trail and those city cycles are at least 25kg! Anyway I was soon on the cycleway and enjoying the ride and caches.

This one scared me as I copped a face full of spiderweb before exploring GZ. Then I spied the cache guardian which made me take a double take. Nice work Mojopossum. TFTC.

Quick found,

On a crazy caching mission with Net88, this was our first for the day. Headed to the cache we could hear gunfire coming from just behind GZ Surprised Very loud. I found the cache with no troubles at all, very cute little cache guardian.

First cache of the day whilst out caching with Nyssaflutterby between finishing work and picking up the munchkins from school. We parked nearby and snuck across the field. We heard a noise and i joked that someone was in the water tank, the noise came again and we realised it was shooting day at the enoggera barracks. We headed towards the noise and subsequently GZ. We got to GZ and nyssaflutterby spotted the adorable cache guardian. We signed the log and gave it back for safekeeping. Thanks for the cache Mojopossum Smile

TFTC. Eco had attempted this about a year ago but couldn't find it. Rev grabbed it straight away and Eco wondered how she had missed the first time.

.....nice little area....lot of carnage after storms tfth
 
09-Feb-13
Today has been my biggest caching day ever. I think about 30. So I am running out of things to say. Tftc. Nice container.
 
26-Jan-13
Another while out on a Saturday morning walk. We endured a shower or two on the way but came prepared. At GZ the detailed hint ensured we made a quick find. Although it was only on replacing the cache that I noticed what it was hidden in. And yes, the log book is rather full. Thanks for the cache.
 
01-Jan-13
What a great area. Very neat little hide this, retired behind the tree to do the secret caching business. Log book is almost full, this is a popular one it seems. TFTC Big Grin

5th of 6 finds today with Pipzi at 11:33.

After a nice walk around the grounds we arrived at the GZ. I missed the cache the first time I looked inside the tree but spotted it on a second look. Thanks for the pen in the cache. We had left the pens in the car.

Which is the left side of a tree. geo kid was up the tree in no time, we thought there was a dead bat in there but all was ok. TFTC
 
08-Oct-12
Found quickly. Loved the cache holder and the walk ti the cache. This one deserves a favorite point. SL. TFTC
 
03-Oct-12
Surprisingly took us a couple of minutes to locate this one, we did have a persistent muggle to tend with but thankfully his eyesight wasn't the best. TFTC.
 
02-Sep-12
This definitely is a hollow tree. It had cache hide written all over it. Very unique cache, a favourite point from me.
 
29-Aug-12
We were sure we had the right spot, stuck our heads inside, and there it was - very cute!
Glad we didn't have to go further down the bank today.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1090. Another one of my favourite hides from the week of caching in Brisbane. Gets a favourite point from me. Clever and cute. I walked away from this one with a big smile, and a spring in my step. TFTC
 
29-Aug-12
We were most impressed by your efforts here as this path continues to showcase some great hides.
Working our way ever slowly up the course of this picturesque creek and surrounds.
Thanks Mojopossum.
 
22-Aug-12
On my way home from work, so this is my cache-for-today. An easy walk across the field, but GZ was muggle central Sad When I finally got a break I made an easy find. The hiding spot is fabulous, and the hide very cute, especially now that I've worked out what the title means Smile TFTC, Mojopossum.

Another fun day geocaching around Brisbane. Soon located this cache - good hide. SL TFTC
 
21-Jul-12
The little plaques made for some interesting reading although our attention was lured to the footy players in a huddle chanting their song most enthusiastically. There was quite a crowd and you could feel a buzz in the atmosphere. We located the cache after going a little too far and backtracking. I'd like to say it was due to the historical plaques but really, those footy players, what can I say! Log signed, cache returned and our journey continued. Thanks Mojopossum.
 
21-Jul-12
With a backdrop of those chants that rugby players do in their male bonding routines, I wasn't overly surprised to approach GZ and find a footy player making use of the facilities. Ah, men. The whole world is your ... Anyway, so disturbed was I that we actually walked past GZ by 30m and had to turn around! Once there, I leaned negligently against a tree and plucked the container from its hiding place, which, by the way, made me grin. Shielded by The Marble's body and the muggles' interest in the game, we signed and replaced in secret. We continued along the path, enjoying the little historical notes on the path as we walked. Enjoyable hide, TFTC, Mojopossum. =^.^=
 
23-Jun-12
Wingers was with me for a small section of the PT and he was quite happy to go the extra way for me to find this one.

Found it quickly, very good!! Well done Mojopossum


Favourite from me.

Nice cache! I hadn't read the cache page properly before searching for this cache so was surprised at what was holding the cache! Smile TFTC, and greetings from Melbourne.
 
07-May-12
Loved the cache "attachment" Thanks for the cache, Andrew, Maryan and baby Lucy
 
05-May-12
What a cute cache. Found snug as a bug in a rug. Heaps of muggles here today. They were too interested in the footy game to worry what I was doing.
Great cache
Thanks Mojopossum
 
25-Apr-12
It's a herd of elephants, NO! it's a gazillion hippos charging down the path... NO! it was the geosapiens teamed with the 5meerkats - 4 adults and 5 kids walking on this beautiful bike trail... there was laughing, screaming, giggling, yelling, running, walking, piggy-backs, stroller rides, rolling, punching, kicking, pushing and sitting....but boy was it fun!!!

This one was found after some morning tea and play in the nearby park. What a little cutie - the kids loved it Smile

Kid chaos today with all 5Meerkats and geo sapiens out for some collective caching.

The kids loved this one. We even got out the torches for additional sensationalism. TFTC, Mojopossum
 
21-Apr-12
Saturday morning in prime rugby playing time is not the ideal time to grab this one.

Was about to give up, when I got a chance through an on field minor injury, which distracted the nearby footy viewing muggles.

Now I know what a chiroptera is!

#146 Down in Brisbane for work, so I had a look at the map and noticed the large amount of caches along the river, not far from my hotel. Plan of attack is to clear the caches on this river around other commitments.

Today, I finished work, had dinner and met up with a mate all before 8pm. Much more civilised way to cache.

Having given the phone some juice in the car enroute to these caches, the needle was now pointing true and had me walk directly onto the feature containing the prize. I had already read the hint and stuck my head straight in.

Reeling back with a few choice word.... Ddin't expect that. I have since googled the title and should have realised what to expect. Let me just say, under torch light, it's a bit of a surprise.

We almost proceeded along the wrong track when walking to this cache. SkiBeagle163 noted the erro of our ways and we backtracked to the correct path.
Arrived at the GZ and began the search. Lots of trees with lots of possible hiding spots.
Persistence paid off and we located the cache. Signed the log, took nothing and left nothing.
 
24-Mar-12
This was well hidden in a particularly innovative cache. After a day of around 30 caches we have nominated this one as the cleverest of the day and therefore have honoured it with our 400th.
 
19-Mar-12
Found this one today while working some other caches in the area. That's a pretty impressive hiding spot for the cache and a cute little Chiroptera looking after it Big Grin

Fortunately a very quiet day at GZ. I could imagine it being very tricky to discreetly extract and replace at times.

Thanks Mojopossum

Found @ 11:43 on 18/03/2012. This was my 22nd find of 35 total finds today whilst out and about in the rain.

Like a few others I think, did this as part of the new Bikeway series - it's a perfect match. Nice hide.
