Found what was left of the cache. It appears to have had a fight with a mower. Needs to be replaced.
Found this one with Muddtrax and it was spread all over the ground, hit by a council muggle mower. Unfortunately we had to crawl around on hands and knees to find what was left. We found a tb ( Kuhreiter's F1-Renner ) in two places a GC ( Buffalo Soldiers Geocoin ) that had a close call and one that didn't do so well ( Pax Vobiscum- Peace on earth 2008 Geocoin ).We also found a corner of Filbert's Frequent Flyer Card No14 (no tag). We didn't find TB Le Liever The Hare or The Professionals Geocoin Fest 2008 Geocoin. Bits of logbook mixed in with grass clippings was also a sorry site. We have rescued the bits will make a maintenece report. It was an easy find TFTC Unfortunately no log to sign
Well Krossbo & I found what was left of the cache When we arrived at GZ I jumped out of the geomobile & headed straight to where I thought the cache would be. Low & behold, there sitting alone & exposed in the long grass was a zip lock bag with the "What is geocaching?" note inside and a lego man, a sad looking golf ball, and the "Buffalo Soldier" GC sitting on top. I picked it up and took it back to the geomobile. Krossbo & I went back to where I found the GC. We soon realized the cache had had a fight with a mower blade and lost miserably!! My first thought was . . . "Oh know, there were 6 TB's in this cache!!" Well at least we had 1 GC. We started to search around and found pieces of log book mulched into the grass, so therefore we were unable to sign the log. We picked up remnants of treasure. Krossbo found a nice silver car still in tact. I found a TB tag in another spot. These 2 things actually belonged together, at least we now have 2 complete TB's. We found a piece of GC here and a piece of TB there. It was very sad. With the darkness closing in it began to make it too difficult to continue the search . . . RIP Grassy Junction - TB Motel!!
Our first cache !!!!!!!!!!!
We left postcards. Thank you for the clue.
The logbook is very wet but we didn't have a bag.

Just grabbed a heap of bugs from the Timmos and am dropping them off for a pitstop in the motel.
Funny funny funny!! Having a cuppa with the ex-muggles near the cache, and I am told that the kids found a strange container at GZ. After a giggle and an explanation, I'd like to welcome the Lushy Legends to out family of local Toowoomba geocachers. Proud to be your first find even if it was by accident!!
Wow!! How cool is this. This is our first find and we are (were) the muggles with the tennis court! We have always wondered why so many people would drive to the end of our street for no apparent reason and it suddenly all makes perfect sense. Can't wait to go finding more caches! Thanks Timmos you're the Bomb!!

Plenty of muggles around some seem to be making a new tennis court near by also others riding push bikes. Parked very near to GZ. Took Owl left Dinosaur. TFTC May be public holidays are not a good time to be geocaching.
As we drive into your beautiful part of the world, a young Timmo and her puppy spied us.
Once we stopped we could see she was going to have a piece of us for spoiling her New Year morning.
We quickly located the cache.
"Are you a cacher?"
"Who, us?".
"That's my cache.".
Sprung by the owner. So we exchanged caching tales, no hints for the cheese factory, played with the labrador pup and then said our good-byes.

Quick find, despite the neighbours' kids playing cricket in the yard, and the neighbour on the other side sitting outside. Left a TB. TFTC
Arrived a GZ thinking it was a traditional cache - seems a little odd but the clues seemed to suggest another spot which was located with easy.

Very appropriate name for this cache. I knew what I was looking at, but I'm not sure 'lochb' or 'bedmaker' noticed. The neighbours looked at us, but we figured they knew what was going on, so we just did our geocaching thing. One question: where the hell did you find that container? I've never seen one of them before. I thought that stuff came in cardboard from day one. TN/SL and left the "LEO" TB. It wants to meet any and all Leos.
Well I pulled into check on this TB motel, and there were no tennants. This is sad, because I had a new Traveler called the Aussie Track-a bear for the locals to meet. Never mind..will keep him moving.
Found BEFORE lunch and I thought the covering was looking a bit thin then ... Sounds like there was second party here AFTER lunch! Researched this cache at home, was prepared for a quick find and ... forgot to bring a wildlife postcard, sorry, so here are some photos of scaly wildlife that have graced Chez Wonder Wits in recent years. Took the two TBs. TFTC Timmos.
As you can see from previous logs, there was a host of us at GZ signing the log and having a bit of a chinwag. It was nice to meet up with everybody again so soon after lunch. TFTC
You could be forgiven for thinking there was an event cache scheduled for this spot with so many people turning up after the pub lunch. Luckily there was enough space for all the cars to park! Kids made a couple of swaps but I have no idea now what was swapped. Discussed where we should head next and off we went, leaving the place in peace again. TFTC
When you arrive with a big mob, the cache is undoubtedly found before you even shut the car door! Such was the case - it certainly makes it easy! Love the bottle.
How lovely to arrive at GZ and find that the cache has already been retrieved for you?
Thanks to Dizzyanne, DisSister, The Marble, Undercover Duo and PigWig for making the find easy for us.
Also found with Gib69 and Gunnie69.

Arrived at GZ in convoy with Gunnie69 and Silversovereign to find Geomob Dizzyanne, DisSister, The Marble, Undercover Duo and PigWig with kids already raiding contents. Retrieved the dinosaur that Dizzyanne had just placed. TFTC
We all love the hunting part of this game but, sometimes it is nice to arrive at GZ to find the cache has been retrieved by a fellow hunter.
Silver Sovereign, GIB69 and I pulled up at GZ to find a gaggle of post pub lunch event hunters hovering over the container. Ello Ello... What's going on here then.... [^]
With our arrival, there was a convoy of vehicles and 12 of us at GZ...
Lots of frivolity and a game of pass the log book, then the cache was tucked away and we we moved off in convoy to the next.
At GZ was, DisSister (x4), Dizzyanne, The Marble, Undercover Duo (x2), PigWig, Silver Sovereign, GIB69 and Myself... Quite a gathering...
As for the cache, all is well. I didn't leave a postcard nor did I swap anything.
Cheers Timmos

Found with all the cachers mentioned in previous logs. Surprised this cache hasn't been muggled yet, seeing it's so close to houses. TNLN TFTC

Oh my, I nearly drove right over the top of it, could I have parked any closer? The smaller geocachers of the group were out of their cars & onto it, no hiding such a large group with Gunnie69 Silver Sovereign & GIB69 hot on our tails Thanks Timmos
The neighbours did not come to see what we were doing so very very quitely we exchanged items L TB T G/Coin TFTC
Found while on a working trip to Goombungee, cache was fairly exposed where it was, tried to cover it & hide it a little more.

Dropped off 3xTB and 2GC that came from Victoria and would like to see some of QLD

Just sorting out a mess I made of a TB I forgot to log till after i dropped it off...
Found by the Bolt es with a geokid friend. Even though this cache is in suburbia, it is still secluded & well thought out. The warnings were great to avoid any misconceptions. Very enjoyable cache.
Stopped by while I was out enjoying a drive in the countryside. Found at 1650hrs and the container was squashed from the large thing dropped on top of it. I straightened the container out again and perhaps something a bit lighter needs to be used. While there I saw a young bloke was playing soccer in his back yard and I saw another neighbour as I was leaving.

Found at 0610 this morning. Very quick easy find.
I Loved the puzzle poem.Could see the container at GZ gz from the car. Used a few handfulls of the grass at GZ to compliment other material used to cover this one.
Left TB Speedy the little blue car. This belongs to a young girl and I thought I would put it back into circulation pretty quickly.
I have a few TB's and Coins that are flying to New Zealand with me in a few weeks and I hope to bring some back. Took toy Left Toy TFTC.

Nice tale, to bring to a very easy find (cache was visible from car). Took nothing, left photo of Amatitlania nigrofasciata (aka Convict Cichlid). This little beauty resides at my place and gets wild when he and his little blond wife have a brood of youngen's.
Thanks for my first find, Timmos
How lucky am I, got a Travel Bug on my first as well =D
Took: Travel Slugh
Left: Toy Pig (not sure if Wildlife Ben likes farm animals?)
