Nope - still not here - not any response from the CO.

It doesn't seem to be here any more

While we had found this one over a year ago, the others (RoddyC, Nadine1989, Joojoo57) wanted to see if they could find this. We looked where we last found it but alas no cache.

Maybe the gardener has removed it or it was muggled.

Stopped by here after visiting a nearby cache to check on the container after a few recent DNFs. They have renovated this whole garden area, it is no longer a bushy area, but very neatly covered in bark. Gnome is still there but very exposed. Container is most definitely not where we found it last time at coordinates.

We had help from a previous finder but it wasn't where it's meant to be. Any chance it's been moved by a grounds keeper??

No luck here today, will come back another time

Nice easy find
Thanks

TFTC. Quick stop and find before going into the park

Quick find once we located the hint to start off the day. TFTC TNLNSL

Quick find and yes, a few meters out.

That naughty so&so. He eventually told us where it was. This one took a while, well camouflaged. Was a little wet inside. Dryed out and returned to spot.

Nice easy find. Didn't have to travel far from where we parked.

Parked near location.
Not anyone here today.
Headed over to GZ and found what I needed.
Took piccy of Gnome.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Garfield69au and Downey Clan All good with this cache

We tried to find this as one of our first geocaches and I think it's fair to say that we know a lot more now so it became an easy find the second time around. TFTC Garfield69au and The Downey Clan

Yeh finally found it

With a free morning, I decided to scout about further South from home, and find some caches on both sides (good side and dark side ) of the Brisbane River.

Glad this gnome wasn't out to harm me, he offered up the cache without any resistance. This cache adds to our total of 2048 smilies, thanks Garfield69au / The Downey Clan for showing us this spot.
Feel free to discover our trackable code TGQNRV

Caches like this are a little iffy for us. Based on the logs we didn't bother to search but would come back if we could be sure it was around. Might be worth a check.

Doesn't seem to be here. Might have been taken by a groundskeeper?

Found pen no sight of container

Found pen but container seems missing from where other people have found it

cache find #3445 Out in the area today for a day of geocaching. Found the cache quickly. TFTC.

Awesome hiding spot

Found it!

Kids loved it. Thank you.

On the road again, this time we are staying at the Thornside Mobile Home Park.
After setting up, we headed around the bay finding caches as we went. The views were spectacular from every turn in the road. We had fish & ships for lunch sitting by the beach.
I felt uneasy pocking around in this area. Saw the good gnome 1st & he was much to close to some plaques. The evil one was found away from the roadway.
Thanks for placing this cache Garfield69au

Mel naha and seb found it many gnomes are hiding

Quick and easy find. TFTC

A bit of caching on the east side of Brisbane today before heading up to the mega event tomorrow. Parked nearby, initially spotted the wrong gnome which led to a fruitless search before seeing the much more evil looking one. And the cache quickly found. An interesting little display in this garden, I wonder what the origin of it was? Thanks Garfield69au / The Downey Clan.

Out on a trip to see my friend, I made her pull over to let me grab this cache. She is only a muggle at this point but well on her way to being a cacher, she's already in the mind set! I was looking around the wrong spots before she spotted the right one and it wasn't long before we had it in our hands. I signed it off, and we are off! TFTC! Very evil looking gnome!

Took us a few minutes but we found it

Tftc

Sneaky gnome

Scary knome

I gnome where it is!! Nice quick find!! Fanks

Our first find!

Here for a Service. Easy find. TNLN TFTC.

It Is a grate spot tfatc

Lovely gnome display. Stealth needed when funerals are on!

Grumpy gave up his secret so it's hi ho hi ho it's off to another cache we go!
TFTC

TFTC nice easy find

Felt a bit awkward finding this one.

Found. Not a fan.

Found it
Took smurf with us for a journey

One of the closest caches to my friend’s place (where I was staying for a few days during an interstate visit) this one was on the “to do list” and an appropriate place to drop off a Smurf TB I’d picked up further north, not realising he was on a racing mission back to the Sunshine Coast (left an appropriate note for the next finder). Mainly elderly muggles around the area this morning so paid “our respects” to the mean looking guardian of the cache and left as discreetly as possible.

Yay! Technically my 5th find.. gps bounces around a bit... looked at past logs for photos and tried to match the foliage and the tree... nice one!

May they rest in peace.

Tftc lonely place

So peaceful there, solo lunch break find! Our first of hopefully many!

Gnomeone was about but our gnome and a few mates. Just ahead was the cache, which I did miss, and it was found by one of the geokids.

Found the cranky fellow!

Out caching with Misssusan, Remsjw, geokidmadison, geokidtobias and my kids. Found by geokidmadison. TFTC!

Found with family and friends!

Found with my family and friends!

First find! Wasn't too hard

Nice one!

TFTC

Took the kids to the cemetery, they have a morbid curiosity.,

glad we didn't have to walk over the graves.

What a scary one !!!! Good cache

What a scary looking knome.... The description says it all. We ended up going for a stroll along the quarry path to find Bayside Spelling Bee too. Great place to have a cache. A little spooky too.

Found with the geokids after a quick look around. Found a tampon as a swap item? Took it as trash and tossed in some actual swaps. TFTC ♡

Nice quick find. TY!

I thought I was in Gnome land. And it only took a couple of minutes and I had my evil looking man. TFTC

We Rashleigh 2 + 1 ring in found it. Like what you have done with the area. Very nice.

Visiting grandma for her birthday. I too spent too long looking at the wrong guy. Found easy once I moved. Tftc.

Found along with the ginger ninja! Creepy creepy gnomes!

Nice quick find. Took nothing left calling card.

Some stelth required here. TFTC

I like cemetery caches and I like gnomes... So this one ticked both. I parked near the office and walked back. Adopting the position I thought most likely, I scrounged around and soon found a little fellow, but he wasn't hiding anything. After reconsidering, I went looking for another. From here, I could see a guy in the office but he looked busy so I trusted he wouldn't look up, or perhaps he already knows of the cache. Anyway, it was a fast find and all is good so TFTC.

Okay so thing is, I have an illogical fear of gnomes.. So this was a little difficult for me but I got it in the end! Thanks... I think. Clay and Rosie aka moon_head

Off to Wynnum this morning for a family lunch for Good Friday and grabbed this cache along the way. With other items placed in the area I felt a little uncomfortable poking and prodding around here. I hunted on one side for no luck and upon changing my angle of attack I sson discovered the unexpectedly large fellow and the cache he was guarding. Tftc.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

TFTC happy valentines day

TFTC

A tricky one! Second visit and the area was quiet and peaceful. Log dry and cache in good condition...TFTC

I am sure I have been here to look for this one before, without luck.

Today I returned and for who knows what reason I was able to pull the cache out in no time at all. Maybe I was just looking from a different perspective today. Sat in the car and signed the log and had to wait a minute while some other visitors to the cemetery got in their car and left.

TFTC

Well hidden and a true hint!

Nice one! Almost gave up. I did not have a pen, so left a piece of red tape for proof of find!

The fat bugger was hiding well.

!!!!!tftc!!!!!! what a big Gnome he is!!!!

Evil gnome!!

Ha ha ha. Found the happy one. But the evil one was well hidden. GPS was spot on, a few spiders at home too. Also a few muggles so had to be careful. Nice place for a hide. TFTC

Found this with geodaughter after a choir performance comp at a location nearby. We picked up a TB at the time which I logged at the time but forgot to log the cache up until now! A very original display for a cemetery. TFTC!

Always enjoy the cemetery ones. This was a nice place for a cache. TFTC

Found it. No sign of geocoin. TFTC

Found the area fairly quiet this morning, and found the cache easily. No swaps today (not many swaps here anyway) but left a lucky horseshoe geocoin instead. Tftc.

This took a few minutes of searching as my phone didn't know which way to go. Had to use my hunch and go through the place piece by piece. Once I spotted another telling object, this became easy.

All good here, but a new zip lock bag for the summer might be beneficial.
TFTC, Garfield69au / The Downey Clan!

First geocache! Wasn't too hard to find. There was no pencil in the cache though so I will have to return to sign the log book another day. Wasn't much treasure to trade either so I didn't take anything and just left a gold plastic pirate coin for future geocache hunters!
