I am unable to give this cache the maintenance that it deserves so I shall move it aside to make the 160 meter radius around it available for others.
Happy Caching!

Princess Ninja and I couldn't find this one
We focused on it being wheelchair accessible and looked only in areas that applied. We were convinced we searched all metal surfaces, even around a wide radius. We had to go though as we were being scrutinized by a tow truck muggle.

Looked around the only places it could be being wheelchair friendly and couldn't find.
Was out caching with Queen of Egypt ..we had a very good look ..but to no avail ...Thanks anyway
will check again sometime ..to see if another has found it ...or been replaced

Spent a bit of time looking for this, but couldn't see it. Pretty sure it has gone
Ayepeacee and I stopped in at night to grab this cache after grabbing pizza from spinnies pizza. He informed me of the reputation this area has and it was kind of scary, so he came with me, and even though my GPSr said the cache was still 14m or so away I found it in a place Ayepeacee pointed was probably going to be GZ. Thanks for the cache ^^
Found it whilst waiting for my burger to be made at nearby shop. Got back in time!
This took much longer than it should have. As I was approaching, a muggle was walking slowly, watching me. When I pretended to be on my phone, he lost interest and moved on. After not reading the cache page, I was looking in all the wrong spots, until I read the description and it was the found quickly
Thanks for the hunt TaxisW and DrPam

After attempting to look for elephants found the elephant in the room tempted to steal muggles sausages but slipped away relatively unnoticed
Found whilst out caching with half of the Ninnes Family. GPSr had me about 5 metres down the track but after searching the only place that the hint could match i headed back to the elephant in the bush. I found the cache approximately a minute later and signed the log. We replaced and headed off to check out a parrot and turkey. Thanks for the cache
No. 104
Net88 and I headed out together to bag a milestone each (my 100th and her 900th).
This was a quick find, despite the fact that both Net and I had GPSr problems and I hadn't read the description or hint. We headed down the path and checked some (less) obvious places before turning back and checking the most obvious place, which is where it happened to be.

This one was a nice little spot but some muggles gave me some attitude about walking out of bounds. If only they knew...
log about couple at bench threw us but used compass to send us in the right direction. Log book full so added a piece of paper. New to this so didn't have spare parts. Good hide. Thanks.
A young couple at the park had the picnic table cornered but they were so intent on each other that I had no trouble.

Another of the Highway 1 series done. Will need to check how many more left. TFTH
In the area today clearing space on my map. Was able to grab this one with minimal effort and no-one around. That's not common for me in suburbia. Nice spot. Thanks for the cache TaxisVW and DrPam. And Hi!
Great spot and great hide! Log is a bit wet bu great to have wheelchair access for those who need it ... TFTC!!!

Called in today and conducted some repairs prior to the flood season.
It is now magnetic again and it is wheelchair friendly again.

Found after some time reading the past logs. Is definitely NOT magnetic anymore and NOT wheelchair friendly. TFTC
Out on a day through the North Side
All I found was the magnet. I think it is now missing

Find #108. Found 26/11/2011 @2:45:00 PM.
As we were heading up the coast to visit family, we thought we'd grab some of the back-road caches. This was the fifth. We've driven past this little rest area so many times without stopping, so it was nice to finally stop and check it out. It's certainly pleasant enough. Found the cache without too much trouble, although I'll agree with the previous finder - it's certainly sticky!

Hmmm not sure about this one , we think we saw where the cache should be, but no cache to be found? Oh well next visit.
The structure in the park which houses the cache has just been repainted with some form of preserving oil and is very, very, sticky.
After a hands-free search, the cache was located. TNLN, but enjoyed the visit to this lovely little park.

Found this one during a cache run with Gunnie69. As this had been found previously by Gunnie, it wasn't on the planned list. However, I couldn't resist the cache close to where we were so I headed in.
Surprisingly, there wasn't much movement for such a public area. Cache was located fairly easily (it is not magnetic), logbook signed and cache returned to it's home.
Not to be outdone, Gunnie also had a find of his own whilst we were heading back to the car - a tick decided to latch on. Lovely. Tick was quickly removed and we were on our way.
Thanks TaxisVW and DrPam!

This one was a bit hard because we first plugged the wrong coordinates in then the gps signal was bad cause of the trees
This was a fun one, we met up with the other geofamily that we had a challenge with that day, just by coincidence. After seeing us turn up on their find they misdirected us and they sneakily signed the log. After they had left and we realised we had been fooled, it was easy to find. Tftc
After attending a great CITO event in Caboolture yesterday we stayed overnight and wanted to get some caches on our way home today. Being led to the cache Mural we came by this park and knowing it had a cache too we just had to stop to find it. The park is lovely and was being enjoyed a various people today. An older couple with a caravan, three young women on a 9 month holiday in Australia from France, a man and his two kids, a very elderly couple making themselves a cuppa. Fortunately for us, the cache was out of their sight and we were able to make the find. We appreciated the dry log left by KarenHippo yesterday and signed it before replacing the cache.

Log was totally saturated so replaced with new one. Nice trail here, would be nice is the signs with bird info were clean so I could read them. TFTC
Took us a while before Mr Bushies2 found it...logbook still damp but ok to write. Thanks TaxisVW and DrPam.
This cache was part of our holiday to the gold coast and sunshine coast. Although we did not go as a caching holiday only we still managed to find over 100 caches in our ten days. The density of the caches some of the areas made a quick 10 or so fairly easy. The only cache I really wanted to get was Queens Land, one of the oldest caches in Australia. The family really enjoyed the weather, theme parks, shopping and of course the caches. Thank you to all the people that have placed the caches in these areas.
Urgent Maintenance required. The magnet has gone from this cache and it is simply been jammed into a gap. The log book is soaked and needs replacement as well. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

An interesting park, took a while to read all the information on the various trees, the log book was wet, my pencil didn't work too well on the wet paper. the magnet appears to have dropped off the container. TFTC
0920hrs. Thought the muggle at the table was going to spoil this but as he was facing the other way and the cache was further away than we thought all was good. A great little park and some interesting signs explaining the birds of the area. TFTCSL
found along with the caldercrew, log book very wet, so we placed it in an snap lock bag.

A nice spot, thanks for bringing me here.

Found this one today with a big big big big spider on it! Well maybe it was a small one but it was enough to stop Mrs Boffinz from doing anymore cache retrievals. TFTC.
Rain rain rain! Taught at St Eugene's today and needed a few caches so hit some locals in rain... caches, not people Cheers from Sydney (at least it kept the muggles away!)
Rated: for Overall Experience
We love making people wonder!!! Nice little park and superbly confused cycling muggle!! Found in the fine company of Kaisho53, Captain Terror, Fangsoki and Gunnie69 as we were in transit to the Glass House Mountains.
Thanks for the cache TaxisVW and Dr Pam. Cheers, svn07

Found (07:46) on our trek North for today.......
Not sure what the nearby muggle (who seemed to take a bit of interest) must have thought as a number of cars pull up - people jump out wander around a bit...
Suddenly go into a huddle & then disperse.....

I am sure the cycling muggle on over on the edge of the park is still wonderring what all the fuss was about this morning as 6 of us zeroed in on GZ, paused briefly then exited as quick as we came... Quite funny really when you think it... He will continue to wonder but will never go to the effort of finding out what the deal was... Fine by us...
Kaisho53 made the extraction as the majority of us found a good vantage spot for the entertainment... [^]
Cheers TaxisVW and DrPam.

It took us a while to find this one but we eventually looked where it made sense given the water that seems to flow through here.

Found with Shell-A at 12:39. This was our second cache in an afternoon of Geocaching in the area. TFTC.
What a lovely spot. Very busy with middle of the day muggles but I was able to steal a quiet moment. My first and last finds today were "Highway One"s. Love this series because you always find it exactly where it should be. TFTC
Found this cache while on holiday in Brisbane and surrounds. Thanks For The Cache TNLN SL
Last time we looked for this one it was missing in action after floods. Today the biggest problem was muggles but we prevailed
