I didn't actually look at the cache myself but my son (who was with me when I found it back in 08) says it's still there?
Any nesw on this one? I am heading that way next week and would love to do the cache.
With PQs that are a couple of months old loaded into the GPSs, I had no chance of getting this one, but I tried.

Had a couple of DNF to this cache so I'm taking it off line until I have time to check it out.
Wandered over to this cache while I was waiting for muggles to dissipate from another cache. Even at 21:30 with nobody around I felt a little uneasy searching around here. Nonetheless, I tried, and came up with nothing. GPS was pointing exacty at a feature that matched the hint but no cache could be seen anywhere around it.
Looked for about 20 mins on a quiet sunday with no luck. Love these fully fenced playgrounds.
This is my second visit here and it yielded no joy. I was certainly sharing ruzzelz concerns about the other utilities present but came during work hours when it was quiet. Saw an area that might once have held a semi-subterrainian cache but no sign of the cache itself today.

A single male caching and 2 features near this cache do not mix when muggles are about. Might x this one off the list for now.
One would think before 8:30 would be fine to go caching on a Sunday - unfortunately too many people around the facility for my liking so I'll have to revisit this one.
this one was tough, but that may of been trying to stay stealthy while dance class was getting out next door hahaha, wonderful park too for geobubba as shes onw of those who cant let her out of your sight for a second and the park is COMPLETELY fenced, so i got to sit and relax while geobubba went nuts so thanks for the cache AND THE BREAK!
One lonely muggle in a car at GZ... I don't think we had to worry about looking suspicious comparatively. Snuck in to grab container and fill in log before returning the cache and heading to the next. TFTC Treking Trev
A quick find in a familiar area whilst out shopping with Kalmlittleexplorers.

A quick trip to the nearby hardware outlet gave us a chance to get this cache.
No muggles nearby and the GPSr was spot on so a nice easy find. SL and then headed off for some shopping, I could spent so much time and money in this place!!

I wasnt sure which way Im going when arrive gz cos my gps was playing up.

thanks for the cache and hunting.

Nice simple find once I read the clue. Event happening in centre so needed to be discrete.
I drove into an empty carpark and started a relaxed search. Finally the cache revealed itself. I took the ring spanner TB to continue it's travels. TFTC Treking Trev
Oh Mr If your poetic turn of phrase is legendary.
How we love to see your posts.
Now to business. I dropped in some loot, a big tape measure, a toy for a boy, and a trackable. Cleaned out some rusty stuff and put small items in a plastic bag. TB is a Ring Spanner so when I saw it I knew it just had to go into this cache.

I thought I would try this one from a different angle.
Or at least that's what I thought after I missed the turnoff into the hardware shop
Turns out that it was a good idea and I had a short stroll along a nice, muggle free pathway to GZ
Plane sailing you could say.
Or maybe I just nailed it ?
Or avoided painting meself into a corner
Whatever happened, I had a nice easy find and didn't screw it up [:o]
I signed the log book and rehid the cache......then bolted

Figured someone had had a good look for this judging by the piles of mulch under the trees either that or someone was trying to trick me and make me look under heaps of trees. Found it ok, looks like slat's just missed it as the tree its under is medium sized now!
took the "geosisinlaw" with me caching today on a quest through caboolture and morayfield.
Couldnt find it today after a solid excavation of gz.

Checked this one this morning after getting a couple of DNF's Replace it with a small temp cache until I get a chance to make another of the same type.
Very handy shop nearby. Looked for a while here at likely hiding spots since I know exactly the type of box refered to in the cache description.
Could see where a cache may have been but not the box.
May be cache blindness. I hope the 'owners' of the empty spray paint cans haven't spotted the cache.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:53pm. The log is dry but everything else is wet inside. Maybe the container is not waterproof; an interesting little piece of land with plenty of parking space; out favourite shop nearby too. TFTC
Unlike most Treking Trev caches, this one was saturated, and I think I might know why ... While I was back at the car, a Council water truck turned up and started watering the gardens with a spray that reached several metres into the gardens to the side of the roadways. Well, perhaps if we add a packet of flower seeds to the cache, it will become truly delightful! TFTC Treking Trev.
Always wanted to find this cache as it is next to our favorite store. It was an easy find.
We tipped out the water inside but the log is dry. TNLN TFTC

Found this well hidden cache without too much trouble.
Log book nice and dry.
Spongebobbb enjoyed the nearby play area before we moved on.

Last find for the day at 5.35pm with geofamily. Thanks Treking Trev for supplying our 1st and 6th cache of the day.
I've just got my own caching name. I found this as part of DisSister when out with The Marble. TFTC
Found this cache as a part of a birthday surprise from DisSister who decided to take me caching for my 900th. Not too many people around although I spotted someone just sitting in their car as we were leaving so hoping he was a cacher and not a muggle. TFTC
The GPS in the car couldn't find a way to GZ but luckily there is a pathway from where it did take us to the cache area. We checked a few spots before finding the goods. The GPSr had us a couple of metres out but there were only so many spots to check. The cache contents were damp and the lid is not sealing properly. I'm glad we didn't have Mr DisSister with us today or we may have ended our caching afternoon in the nearby store. TFTC
The GPS coverage around this area seemed a little patchy but we eventually found the right spot. The cache container has taken on a bit water so we dried it out as best we could before replacing it.
Thanks for the cache!

A few muggles around today but we managed to get the prize without being noticed. Thanks for the cache. TNLNSL
Nice easy find for the first of the day mainly because it was completely exposed and sitting over a metre from its hidey hole. The container and contents appear to be OK with no nasty surprises from local youth. Replaced where we thought it should be and made sure that it was covered with debris. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache TT.
Found this soon after my first find -also by same hider so I'm trackin' with Trekin' Trev. Parked at the Big Shop and walked and walked following my GPS thingy because I don't yet know how to fix GZ in it. Great hide, love the paint job and the little tools. Left a Camping Shop card. Morning before work so no muggles about. Nice one, Trev
at 17:08. We got there all right. We tried following road directions from our GPSr. Never again! It took us on a 2 km circuit bringing us back almost to where we started.
We took the $500 (TB). TFTC Treking Trev.

Found with geo-uncle 'Lat&Long Junkie'. Aarrgh aarrgh aarrgh tools, love em. TFTC.
Glad I had 'Bedmaker' with me today. That close to a kids' playground, I wouldn't have wanted to be there alone. The place was crawling with muggles, but we managed to grab the cache and sign the log without attracting attention. TFTC.
a few trees to chose from , found it after a few mins between muggles using the toilet , dropped off geocoin took tool kit
Had a quick look as there were many muggles today. Saw what I thought was the spot, but nothing was there.
A quick find at 1100hrs. The rain kept everyone away today and this one would be hard to get if the place was busy. Thanks TT, nice container.

Nice easy find, with a geomate on an afternoon cleaning up some of the new caches that have popped up in town since I left. Was almost discovered by muggles bringing their children down for a play - probably spent too much time admiring the log bag and the construct of the cache. Managed to get it hidden and out of the way before we were discovered though. Great location - have frequented the major landmark many times, but never knew about this park. TNLN. TFTC.

*FTF* at 9.00am this morning after waiting the last day and half to be able to download the coordinates as a result of the fire at the location of the geocaching.com servers. If the cache had been published 30mins earlier, we would have found the cache on Friday. Caches easily found TFTC Treking Trev
