Quota Park Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia
By Captain Terror on 27-Dec-08. Waypoint GC1K78G

I started geocaching in 2008 and after hiding six that year, I have endeavoured to hide at least one every year since. This is the last active of my 2008 hides. Alas, eight and a half years and I think this one has served it's sentence.

Over 500 finds are all appreciated. It has survived at least three full replacements and brought a lot of folks to this nice place. I sadly don't visit the Bay as much anymore and confident this one is gone. Maybe a local is more able to do something with this space. Thanks to all who found, logged and enjoyed Quota Park

Not yet forgotten. Might still be there if someone is super keen to kill some time.

Could not find ... maybe needs checking!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this one is missing. Don't let me stop you trying anyways - I'll be stoked if it turns out to be there, just hiding.

No such luck here today. Maybe next time.

A little disappointed this was a did not find as many logs are suggesting an easy find.

Now I'm not a local but there is some evidence of council works going on here recently. Also there was evidence of fresh spray paint on the leaves around the structure at gz. Could the team that painted here have moved/removed the cache. Captain Terror might need to check. Thanks.

Checked hints and all others posts. Still did not find it.

No luck today.

Found it nice spot

2nd find with kidlets and our Tia dog.

Up for a quick visit from Melbourne and had to find a cache, a quick easy one.. Tftc

Successful find by geo kid. Tftc

Easy find with clue. TFTC

Found by dad
Great geocache

With my work finished for the day, it was time for a pre-dinner walk...and maybe a cache or two...although that only turned out to be only one...this one. After a 1.5km stroll from my motel, I found myself scrabbling around hunting out this cache. Fortunately there was hardly any muggle around to observe me at it...and before long I came up with the goods.

Thanks Captain Terror for this cache.

A quick easy find here and the shade was appreciated, thanks for the fun

This was just down the road from the motel. Had to be a bit stealthy but an easy find fortunately. TFTC!

Travelling around Australia and currently staying in Hervey Bay, Queensland for a few days .

So very hot here at the moment. Its been airconditioned caravan or airconditioned car! BUT today we changed that and decided to head out on the GeoBikes for a few hours.

After a fish n chip lunch Mrs Felix cycled home and Mr Felix continued on alone as the afternoon thunderstorm approached.

This one took us a few goes over the past year, there always seemed to be muggers sitting at gz. This time the muggles were a few metres away so we were able to carry out a discreet search without attracting their attention. Princess madelyn made the find and the log was quickly signed. Thanks Captain Terror for giving us this challenge against the evil muggles. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

what a fantastic foreshore.

I actually found this one quite hard. But such a satisfying find in the end.

Thanks

Thanks

Took a while to avoid muffles. TFTC

Wow beautiful view and Hervey Bay. My first time

Whilst doing a bush bash with the Forensic Police Services, raising money for the Flying Doctor Service for 2 weeks, found this at Hervey Bay. TFTC

Easy one for the kids

Bigger than expected tftc

We did some geocaching while spending our honeymoon in Hervey Bay.

Cache was located in obvious location and was easy to find. Don't be afraid about current (2,5) difficulty rating!

Thanks for the cache!

Found it

Duidelijke hint.

Nice cache in a nice location. TFT C

found the box during travelling in australia. nice catch!

Found it with sunlight and jojoline We really enjoyed staying in Hervey Bay! Yesterday in the evening we saw the cutes dolphins jumping out the water near this place!
TFTC!

We are spending the weekend camping in Hervey Bay & combining some geocaching & sightseeing this afternoon & are working our way around the coastline.
We parked nearby & the co-ords weren't putting me near anything that looked like a good spot for GZ but the hint soon had us looking at a much more likely spot. Geohubby made the find. Log signed & cache replaced as found.

Found it. Tftc

Tftc nice spot

Found it

Out for a morning walk on beach and detoured to find this one.no pen to sign .so will come back later

TFTC

Could only have cursory look for this cache. Wrong time of day Muggles watching us like hawks.

First Hervey Bay find with geodad and geodog!! Then we sat and enjoyed the view. TFTC

Was on the last possible places we looked at. TFTC from Germany

Over her from NZ visiting the family, luckily I had mini me with me to crawl around, looking less out of place than I would of. TFTC

Fortunately there were not any muggles about today which enabled us to have a quick find . Thanks Captain.

Thx for showing us this nice place.
- Greetings lucky el loco from seitzerland -

Heading to Hervey Bay today to pick up some liquorice for an Event at Rainbow Beach this weekend.
Dragging a very reluctant CDAH55 with me to help find some caches that had eluded me in the past.
Having secured the necessary supplies for Saturday's event, continued caching the area.

This one had been on my watch list for some 4 years, great to finally turn it into a
Been muggled out several times, Sweet informed me after, we'd been here 3 times together and I'd been here a couple of extra times alone,

Even allowed him to find some of mine in the area

This turned out to be an easy find.
All with the cache
TFTC Captain Terror

I headed north today with Sweet-Sour who had some business to attend to. As we had sufficient time to do some caching as well we thought that we should make the most of it.

We made our way to GZ and after a short search the cache was in hand. This is a difficult cache to search for as there were plenty of muggles around so the need for discretion was paramount.

The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.

All is good with this cache.

Took a bit. Reread hints. Piece of cake. Tftc.

Tftf...

Hmmm. Good location. For some reason took some time.
Eclipse tin been changed. I guess someone saw the light!!

Found it

Awesome find!!

Easy find

Tftc

Would love to have grabbed this one, but the muggle activity on two consecutive days was just too heavy to allow us to do the search. Might have a go at night time next time we're over at the Bay. Thanks Cap'n, and cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

This cache proved to be far more difficult and time-consuming than I expected. It took more than 30 minutes to find but I had a chance to educate a German girl on the art of caching and how she'd love it as a backpacker. 7 out of 7 on the day!

On our trip around Australia we stoped here to grab the Cache.
Thank's to show us this beautiful place.

Greetings from Switzerland.

Great one, love it

Found it.......lots of muggles though. I don't think anyone saw us find it!
TFTC

Good find

Awesome

Nice and quiet this afternoon, only had to wait a short time for the muggle family to move on then ducked my head under to spot the prize right where I was going to sit. Quickly signed and returned to its hiding spot. Cache all good. Thanks, Captain Terror for placing it in such a pleasant spot.

We looked like odd ducks but we found it

We found it! Thanks!

Muggles everywhere but some sleight of hand and found it easily enough. TFTH

Reading the hint as I walked up to this one.
Took a seat and put my hand straight on it.
The caching fairies were with me on this one.

Presents is none but is good to rest your bum

Great find on an afternoon walk in a beautiful spot
