A recent fire (in last 2 weeks) has been through area of cache. May have been destroyed by the fire. A description of cache would be good instead of the hint that's here ??
Hi Sulie, after reading megatrytes log we went back and looked where we had located the cache and it was missing. We had a bit of scout around but no joy. Me thinks it may have been muggled. Bugger!
Accessed the area via the easment and went out on the bridge for a while as there was a few walkers moving through. The Magellen and the hint were as usefull as a hip pocket in a singlet, and the area now looks like a mob of scrub turkeys has been through. Well one geocaching turkey any way. Really liked the location but had no luck with the cache.
Found by Mrs KevLyn while I checked out the lagoon, never new this was there until now TFTC
Great place to spend a little time with the birds. Will have to go back with some titbits for the birds next time down that way.
An easy find! Some days just go well from the start. Have found every cache with no trouble. A nice spot to sit and relax, if you have time...
Quick find/retrieve and exit as there was a muggle mowing nearby. After placing cache we stopped and had a chat. Geokid got to play in nearby playground while Mr Dusty Pair was off hunting. Mr Dusty came back grumbling that the clue referred to 80% of the area but he crowed about being triumphant. Photo added of nearby playground. TNLN. Thanks
Tried the evening prior, but getting too dark - walked way off track.
Quick find int he morning.
TFTC!

Had a great day doing some cache hunts, cache is dry and in good condition,
Thanks Sulie
Thanks Sulie
Found our way into this one eventually as the GPS was clueless about where to take us.
Spotted the tell-tale sistema blue from a distance and swooped with glee.
Thanks Sulie for another fun cache.

Wasn't too sure where George our Garmin Nuvi was taking us on this one but the end result was a very pleasant boardwalk experience for a quick find
Thanks sulie
Thanks sulie
4stubbies and some friends went hunting. TNLN. Had some fun in another ladies garden till we checked the co-ords....
Arrived near GZ to see quite a large goanna poking it's head out of a storm sump near the easement , then along to GZ to find ther cache (success!), then I walked across the lagoon. It's a great spot hidden away. Saw ducks eating the duckweed on the lagoon - they certainly have a very large feast ahead of them. TFTC Sulie.
Our 6th cache for the day although our GPS thought we needed to go for a swim to find it but we decided to ignore that and broadened our search area and the cache was soon in hand. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache.
Yay! we found another one! This was a great find but the long grass kind of itches your legs! Still found and went to the shelter over the water. Great view of Lagoon very beautiful! TFTC
Looks like the Ants are trying very hard to make this their new Home.

nice spot did it while visiting my mum she is like a 1 mins walk from it took my ex and showed her she loves th concept of it TFTC left TB
Enjoyed our walk to this cache, but the water was a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully, the next rainfall will flush it out. Found the cache after a short poke around. TN/LN/SL.
Hey, what do you call a French thug? Give up? La goon .

Found the cache. Not sure if we walked in the correct way but we got there. Lagoon is covered in algal bloom which makes for a smelly walk Plenty of ducks who don’t seem to mind the bloom TFTC
Thunder rumbles overhead. Quick grab and check out the lagoon and then back into the car. Lots of waterbirds here today, we were amazed how green the water is though. TFTC and walk into here....eatmorchikin & Stigglepot, Brisbane
Detour on the way to Bundy for the W/end event. No muggles so an easy find. Grabbed TB to take north on my trip home.TFTC
Found at 9.00am GAFF1. On a walk with our host who lives just 300 metres from this cache. We showed Joy where the cache was and she couldn't believe that there was "treasure" just metres from where she walks everyday with hher dog.
Thanks Sulie.
Thanks Sulie.
Cute little secluded area off the beaten track. It is amazing where geocaching will take you. Took geocoin will move it on.
Was working in the area again today, So I had another attempt at finding this cache today after my failed.
Still no luck. Searched for sometime, before I had to leave, was starting to arouse some suspicion, Lot's of walkers in and around the park today. I get nervous in these sort of places with people around.
The clue has not helped me today, GPS accuracy the best I could get was 10 metres. I did widen the search but couldn't find it.
There's been a lot of cleaning in the area, Looks like the council has done a major cleanup of all the loose leaf matter at GZ. Maybe they found it, or I am not very good at finding these sort of hides. I think it's the latter for me. It's probably still there somewhere, But it's got me beat where.

On arriving in MPB for a few days stay with friends near the lagoon I could not believe that there was a cache a hundred metres away across the walkway. I had thought about placing a cache here last year but decided against it now I am sorry as it is a lovely location. NI-NO and thanks to Sulie for placing this cache.
Found this one by chance. Our gps's had us over 10m from the hide but once again went by intuition and looked for the obvious. Thanks for the hunt. Left police badge took parachute man. A nice little spot.
*FTF* at 4:05pm 2nd time lucky. Coords spot on, the old ones should have been close enough. I am sure we looked here on Sunday. No worries it's been found now. The Kookaburras were making plenty of noise tonight, or was that just someone laughing at us stumbling around looking for the cache TFTC

We went back to double check that all was as it should be. We have ammended the co-ords slightly to the waypoint mentioned above. We could see where you had all been and you were very close. Hopefully the more descriptive clue and the ammended co-ordinates will help. Happy hunting.

Ok guys we left one for you, had a good look around the area but failed to come up with the goods I know it's there somewhere but we were beaten by this one today. we will return.
Hmmmmmmm! Sounds like something is not quite right. We will have to go back and have another look and check the co-ords. If THESE two teams can't find it then no-one will be able to. We will keep you posted.
