Yep should've checked the activity before we headed to this one. We had no issue with muggles so were able to thoroughly search but to no avail.
I could not stay longer because there were a lot of mugs on the patio of the clubhouse across the way, no doubt raising their eyebrows at me as I was thoroughly searching around the doghouse. Nonetheless, I felt like I gave it a fair go but came up empty handed. Perhaps this one is MIA?
I'm pretty sure this one is gone. It hasn't been found since august. Could the CO have a look to see if we are just blind?
2nd time looking for this and couldn't find. Can owner plz check to make sure cache is still there.
Found it finally had to dig a little in the leaf litter got some strage looks from the footy players not to sure what they were thinking. Duo hunt with xoxchickxox glad we at least found one tonight.
Out on the dark side on the geocycle today. Hoping to round up a few smileys so that my numbers are right for a milestone cache on Saturday.
it was quiet around GZ, so there was no excuse for my fail. My 3rd DNF for the day.

After crossing the creek we were surprised to find a sports field on the other side! Quickly spotted the dog house and started to search insideā¦. No cache - reread the hint - oh 'on' not 'in'
A quick find after that. Also found a good soccer ball in the scrub nearby

Nice quiet morning. Just finding a cache or 2,while waiting for the clan to awaken. Thanks.
Great hide this afternoon caching is working out better than morning episode TFTC
What an unusual structure. I wasn't sure if I should go in or not but the massive 8 legged thing between me and the darkness suggested I not go in. I agreed and wandered the outside. Missed it completely and needed to PAF! Oh darn. Another obvious one beat me today. Might give up for today! TFTC
A very good fit in it's hide, lid is missing but all good and dry inside tftc
Second time to look for this one after being put off by all the 8 legged creatures inside and out of this one! Decided to brave it again on a fine Sat afternoon with the geokids. All quiet with soccer games all finished for the day - circled the GZ a few times then found the cache - TFTC Eco and Rev!
#75 - We had an hour to kill, so were out to find a few caches. This one must have been the easiest I've ever done! Luckily we had the place to ourselves, so the log (which is still a bit in tatters) was quickly signed. TFTC
Found it while waiting to watch a game of soccer. Amazed at all of the moths in the unmown grass.
Thanks
Thanks
Out tonight with [purple]Nyssaflutterby,[/purple] [maroon]Net88 [/maroon]and [navy]Captain Terror[/navy] we decided to do a mass attack of the area and clear out some caches.
[purple]Nyssaflutterby[/purple] had already done this one so she ran back to bring the car around while the captain helped protect us girls from the security guard and his dog near by.
Found and logged quite fast and then back to the car.

Out caching with NyssaFlutterby, Egg in the sky and Captain Terror in what i would later know to be the longest caching day i have ever had, stopping at 7:30am after 22 hours on the go. Nyssaflutterby had gone to get the car from where we parked it for a previous cache and that left Captain Terror to guard us girls from the terrors in the night We found the cache without any interference from the lurking security guard and his dog. Thanks for the cache
This was my second find for the day in the company of the Captain on my mad dash to make 1000. Whilst the Captain looked over the structure I pulled the cache from it's hidey hole. It seems to be in much need of some TLC.

Out and about today with Nyssaflutterby. This was only the second cache of the day, but with her both driving and navigating, I was the best part of lost when we arrived here. A very warm day out as we strolled across the field towards GZ. I wondered what the structure was for and a peek inside revealed it is simply home to.. not much. As I was checking it out, Nyssa found the cache and added our names to the log. TFTC 1uzferunner and Eco & Rev
It was 10am and Brisbane was in the middle of a heat wave.
A stroll across an open field was not the best decision but there was a cache on the other side.
Luckily I spotted the cache in the first spot I looked. the log is a bit in tatters and there is no lid on the container but all is dry. I made my mark and then found a longer but shadier route back to the car.

No problems here today. Container is missing its lid, but given its location, it is nice and dry!

Out with the ever so beautiful Brightskies and we wandered over to grab this cache. Soccer zombies were having a game so we employed ninja like stealth. Found the cache in no time. TFTC Eco & Rev.
Out epic night caching on a monday night with ayepeacee. We rocked up and the soccer training was on, uh oh.. we drove cross country to get as close as we could then we trekked over under the bright oval lighting to where the cache would be. Trying not to look suss, we looked for the cache and then i spotted it at the only place left we hadnt looked. TFTC Eco & Rev ^^
I used to live just up the street from this cache and spent many a weekend hanging around the soccer club. It was a bit of a trip down memory lane this one. When I saw this cache on the map and read the name of it, I knew straight away where to look. I had the cache in hand in record time.
The 'dog house' now holds sprinklers for the field etc., but also use to contain other equipment for ACE soccer club. The back field used to be a 'junior' playing and training ground. I remember after it was first built, the dog house used to hold bags of balls that the teams would access for training. I have fallen into the nearby creek many times trying to get back balls that had been kicked down there.
Anyway, that's enough story telling, sounds like I'm turning 90. TFTC Eco & Rev.

Day three of my geocaching holiday around Brisbane. Had a lot of fun finding some very good caches. Soon had this one located. SL Thanks for the cache!
Sometimes I tell geopartner he has to sleep with Lucy, my little tibetan/bichon but he says the kennel is too small, so being a softie that I am, I let him off, but this one he would fit in. It could do with a fit out. TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Eco & Rev
Also with brownsnakemob, geobf found this one easily. Log was wet, pen still included. Not sure if still in original position.
Our first find, had fun doing it. Tftc.

Hi Everyone, I live just down the road from this cache and I've gone looking for it again today and still have not found it. It's probably cause I'm still new at this but I looked everywhere in the roof, inside, all around, on the ground. I did find a soccer ball I returned to the club any pointers please?
Our first find. Thanks so much. Took a doggy cookie cutter to put in but didnt know where to leave it as cache was small (which made it all the more fun to find). This was our third attempt of finding a cache so glad we had success.
Replaced the many log books with a new log sheet. Nice and clean for the next lot of cachers.
Found by my wife while I waited in the car with sleeping kids after previous caches. Besides I spend enough time in the doghouse. Good clues. Tftc
First of three today with the boys. Good warm up find that wasn't too ruff. tftc
Found it quite easily - the hint helped a great deal - owner needs to put a new notepad in there though
Tftc , soccer game going on in the background, but found cache with Geowife
Hint only half right

TFTC .. Great location ,game of soccer on while we were here 1/04/2012 happyfrog3 one for April fools day ..
Bit creepy trying to find the cache at sunset & I was glad to be with IolantheK & also her torch came in handy as this one was a bit tricky. The hockey field is beautifully manicured & I constantly am delighted with the beautiful country feeling I get in the middle of a bustling suburb. TFTC.
NixOnTrix and I decided to make this our last one for the day. Found the nearby parking spot and made our leisurely but rather soggy way around the fields to GZ. The Doghouse is cute, although I don't think I'd like to sleep in it, as the ground was covered in water and we saw a few spiders (shudder!) I was really hoping that the cache would be easy to spot, but in the end I had to swallow my fears and work my way round where I really did NOT want to go. On the second pass the cache came to hand. After we signed the log, NixOnTrix was very brave and volunteered to replace it. We feel we have conquered the world today!
There were a couple of workers nearby fixing the nets, and I can't imagine what they thought of us TFTC, Eco & Rev.

What do cachers do on a day off, no matter the weather? You guessed it! Today we decided to retry some previous DNFs. And what success! This time took about 2 mins to locate this little guy. Still high and dry!

I went around and around and around with no success.
Finally found it on the ground so I placed it where I thought it should go.

TFTC. Sneaky little hiding spot. If Cal3b had been taller we might not have found it.

Quick find.... but that might be because the cache had taken a tumble and was lying on the ground. I placed it back where I think it would have been, so I hope it was right.
Thanks for the hunt!

This one has been on the radar for a long time - it was possibly the closest unfound cache to home. We (MissGeosie, SuzieQ and myself) happened to need to take a trip to the library today, so after that errand, a play in the playground and a nice lunch at the Coffee Club we piled back in the car to have a look for this one.
It took a lot longer than it should have, as I spent a great deal of time looking for a pram-friendly route down to the appropriate landmark. Sadly, I couldn't find one, so I ended up barrelling down the hill and across the field. Once at GZ I had the prize in hand in no time.
MissGeosie is convinced that fairies and butterflies live in the "houses." Can't say I saw any fairies, but there were loads of orange butterflies about. I am certainly not going to ruin her fun

19/10/11 11:57 AM Find #675
After attend a nearby location, NyletaM and I dropped in to search for this one.
Last time we drove past the muggle activity levels were way too high so we kept driving - this time it was nice and quiet.
We located the dog house from afar, and after a quick search, the cache was in hand.

Spotted the dog house with Alkzura and the geobubs from afar so almost didn't need the GPS. After a lap of said structure we had the cache in hand and while the geotoddler held the container we signed the log. TFTC
Checked all around this structure but couldn't come up with the goods. Would have stayed longer but were a little spooked by the boys in blue doing rounds of the area as we arrived.
...and such a nice day for a walk across the park. Thanks for taking us here. TFTC
Easy find, even without the clues. I do wonder what the nice man mowing the lawns thought I was doing though. }:)
Found ok after making the pleasant stroll across the freshly mowed (and dry) paddock. Not a soul to be seen here today which made for an easy find. Thanks 1uzferunner
Easy find. Not sure about the dog house though. Too many spiders, etc. for my liking.

swampy walk to the doghouse.cache in fine condition.sl.seems nazis were here but they are all gone.
Found while out and about on a damp day. Wet feet from this one. Not to worry nice hide. TFTC
This was the third cache of 19 for the day, on a rather wet day out caching. A nice walk across the wet grass to retrieve this one, that sure was a nice looking pump in the dog house. My thanks to 1uzferunner for the cache.
Managed to park not far away and after a short walk the cache was found very easily, thanks.
Thought we might have to let this one go today with a soccer game in progress and some kids playing with Dad on the area of grass infront of the dog house But SheGecko was having none of that - she created an interesting diversion and I grabbed the cache. TFTH
This was quite a quick find, with the kids crawling all over the place, great fun.
