Hey i went to look for your cache and it was out in the open on the brick wall. I couldn't hide it again at all and it is no longer magnetic. The log book had been grafitied as well.

Wow my easiest find. Getting better with practice. TNLN. Can't believe I saw a woman run off with some roses she stole there though.
 
14-Nov-11
Had a seat, read thru info, and found to be right next to it. Quick grab, signed the log, took "WHY" keyring and left black/silber spider and safety key homder. The fun started when I tried to put it back. Being newish to this, I didn't take not how I retrieved it. Took 4 time of undo cache and look to see what the problem was. 4th time lucky. Hope nobody was looking. tftc

By golly - a clever cache without being a remarkable hiding place. Cracked the clue easily enough on this smokey Toowoomba morning. Only my second in your beautiful 'Carnival of Flowers' city.

Thought we'd have to do some serious brain storming. We were trying to figure out the co-ods and were getting frustrated. We had muggle gardners near by sowe had to be stealthful. We decided to think inside square and quickly found the cache. TFTC. We left a hand full of goodies.

Just made my first find! And now I'm hooked on the game.

Pretty clever hiding spot, and is still dry and in tact with some goodies for the kids. Nice piece of history learned along the way too. No travel bug here though. Bit disappointing that someones taken it and not reported in.

A great spot for a cache on a rainy day Smile
I could take me time and read all the info before making up me mind as to where the cache lay Big Grin
With so much history and rosy information to read, it did take a while.....
But the research was worth the time and I found the cache in the first place I stuck me paw [^]

A clever hide. Had me fooled on my first pass. TFTC
 
31-Jul-10
Very clever hide, great container. Even though today was the very day that all of the roses needed pruning and there were people everywhere pruning rose bushes, they were all very busy doing the job at hand and did not even notice me, had cache in hand in no time, signed log and replaced and they still had their heads down and tails up, very busy they were.

Good hiding spot. Fun to find.
 
03-May-10
It was nice to stop a while and read the plaques while the kids ran around in the park. It is comforting to see that our history is being preserved, and openly presented.

Nice hide, I was looking for something a little smaller!

Clever clue led to an interesting hide. Other than the croquet players not many people around today. Thanks for the interesting cache.
 
20-Feb-10
Found cache with little trouble, the location is very clever. It would be hard to believe that anyone could find this cache without the express purpose to find it on their agenda. As there was nothing in the cache at all I only left a GC.

15-Feb-10
Early morning walk to find this one while staying with our family in Toowoomba. TFTF
 
14-Feb-10
After fixing a steel plate to the opposite side and replacing the container, I hope that this will stop the cache from being destroyed. The GC is missing however.
 
01-Jan-10
Obviously we didn't find it and obviously we hadn't read our cache notes. We did find the velcro.

Kick in the pans for thefourbees.

Till next time

Just read that last two posts after I had found the muggled cache, really unlucky, it is such a great spot with a lot of military history
 
30-Dec-09
Might leave this one to settle down a bit befor I replace it.
 
29-Dec-09
cache muggled grrr.
 
29-Dec-09
MUGGLED! Twisted

found the velcro, but no cache!

we hung around here waiting so some oldies to finish reading every one of the plaques, and had to entertain the geokids on the nearby playground.
found an active golden italian bee hive inside a tree, got close enough to take a photo. I am glad it wasn't a hot day, because I left my EpiPen at home.

shame about the muggle.... spied a ziplock bag blowing away.

This was my first successful find after a few attempts on other caches, so it's very exciting. My GPS is a bit dopey[iPhone], but found it after a bit of a walk about.
I may not have found it without reading the previous logs.
Thanks for a great cache. I look forward to the next one.
TNLN.
