Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

No where to be seen! Grass needs a trim LOL
- Crocs

On our way home from a Guide camp. A quick detour to add another smiley to our logs. TFTC

After dropping off hubby at the mechanics so he can pick up his car, I stopped nearby and went to look for this cache.
Cache found quickly, SL, took note of the question inside then returned cache to its hide.
Unfortunately the cache container I had, didn't have any way of attaching to the structure so may have to come back with another.
Logbook dry but yes, cache container is missing the lid.
TFTC

No cap on cache, water-soaked, connection system is failing.

Found the cache lying on the ground without its cap on and very wet. Figured out where it came from and placed it back.
First cache I found in this series and took notes for the clues.
TFTC!

I checking every single not found. There need lawnmower it long grass. Hope find one day, when they need lawnmower.

Thanks for the cache, GraKez. This is my first cache in the Eclipsed series. For dog lovers, I don't recommend taking your furry labradoodle geodog to this one! We parked down the road further (didn't see the comment about parking at servo) and walked through the grass (no footpath). Then, the grass was reasonably long-ish around the cache area too. My dear husband has not let me forget that he spent over 2 hours pulling/combing burrs out of our dog's long hair and her feet!! Every time I've geocached with our dog since then, he has reminded me of this cache! I pleaded ignorance saying, "How could I know that a cache down the road from Archerfield airport could result in SO MANY burrs...its not like I was bush bashing or anything..." but I failed to convince him.

TFTC

Out for a fun day of caching with Raynersinoz and barbbowman. We were blessed with a nice sunny day for our adventures and we had a terrific time finding a variety of caches

We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our names added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you GraKez for creating the earth cache for everyone to enjoy

in the area and I saw the word eclipsed
oh please can we go get it I ask
rio is the drive but always willing to detour

stop for lunch and then on our way
an eclipsed cache was one of the first bubba89 and I found when we started caching
when I say found I need to add ... eventually found
not easy with a car gps
but once fasted brought us an etrex we were off and riding

info photographed

It's a Wednesday wander with bb and Mrs JAT this week and we have a beautiful, sunny day to go caching

I have found a couple of eclipsed caches, but it's always nice to continue on a series. I was a little bit unsure where to park, but we actually got a rock star park, right beside where we needed to be. It didn't take us long to find the cache, log signed and information noted. TFTC GraKez

Ants ants and ants... geobuddy did a bit of a clean up! Thanks for the cache!!

Found for the last cache of the night

Happy International Geocaching Day GraKez!!!
This was the second cache on the list today.
Easy find. The container was full of ants so we sprayed some OFF.
TFTC.

Found it ages ago - forgot to log it. Nice little poke around until ...
Only have a google maps overhead view of the coordinates - that's all you need beyond the ability to convert a bird's view into a worm's view.

Quick easy find

Tftc found on 3 million weekend.

On a very wet evening the family was so bored we decided to go for a little hunt for a geocache and after that we were thinking of going out for dinner at the Oxley tavern so on our way to the GZ it was starting rain our positivity went down to about 33% chance of finding this geocache but we stayed positive so when we arrived we parked in the petrol station and then arrived at the location we looked around for about 5 mins then found a mischievous spot as my dad look threw the mischievous spot we realised BOOM!!!! there it was the TREASURE as we signed it it was soaked couldn't find anything to put in GZ so just left it and put it back in his comfy home thank you so much for this celebration and I will go to the next one

Sneaky sneaky. Log book was wet but there was another piece of paper that was ok so logged cache on that

Rusted and very wet log but nice hide!

very rusted and log is water damaged great find tho

Cache has seen better days its rusted and home to an army of maintaining the clue

Drove too far up the road to the air base before turning around.. Lots of light planes buzzing around which was nice to see. A quick find at GZ, clue noted even though I'm not sure this series is still in play... ?
TFTC

Lots of ants! TFTC

I found one of this series yesterday, so that got my interest up to try and find more and ultimately piece the coords together for the final
I realise there are three caches in this series now archived, but luckily or me I spotted the clues for those archived caches had recently been posted in one of the online Facebook Geocaching groups. So I noted them down
I parked across the road at the garage. There was a sign saying for service station customers only, but I've purchased petrol from that company in the past (not here though lol) so that makes me a customer in my book
At GZ the cache was actually in the first spot I looked, but somehow I managed to miss it and made my way around the whole structure checking other likely spots before coming back where I stated and realising I'd missed it! Doh!
The logbook has dried out quite a bit from the description of it in the last visitors log, so I was able to sign it ok. The clue is there and that's what I was keen to come and find so I can unravel the coordinates for the final
Thanks for the cache GraKez

As per previous log

Will log a needs maintenance so the owner sees it.

Found it but wasn't able to sign the log. The tin is no longer magnetic (if it ever was) but is extremely rusty and wet. Contents inside were wet but readable for the clue.

Thanks!

**Smilie #4336**

Out & about clearing up a few 'solved but unfound' mystery caches before they get archived! LOL ...
Adding a few traditionals for spontaneity & maybe a multi or two!

A nice quick find here to finish our caching for today.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

**TFTC GraKez **

Out caching with Vegan Cachers.
Nice quick find.
TFTC

Found quickly while stopping to get some fuel log is full signs in a spot in the middle

I was in the area and saw there was a cache nearby. Nice easy find. TFTC!

We were in the vicinity this morning when this cache popped up on the radar so we decided to stop by and have a look.

We parked across the road at the servo which the kids were a bit worried about because there were signs saying for customers only but there appeared to be no on-street parking allowed.

I set the kids to searching for the cache but they disappeared and then I found it myself. I quickly signed the log and took a note of the clue before returning it to it's hide.

When I got up to see where the kids had got to, I found them crawling around in the garden trying to keep out of sight. I'm not sure if they were doing much searching though.

TFTC GraKez

Found it

Quick easy find as it was lying on the ground. Signed the log in a small space in the middle of log book as it is so full. I then returned it to its right place. TFTC.

This cache need a new log as there is no where to write now.

I had a few caches on my list for today. This one was first. Too busy here during the week, I had decided that weekends were a safer option for searching. Even so, I was surprised at how much passing traffic there was. I parked nearby and wandered to GZ. My phone wouldnt settle, so I just searched. It wasnt long before I spotted the cache out in the open. I signed the log and then found where the cache had come from. I returned it to its spot before heading on my way. TFTC

This cache was not too far off my homeward route today so I decided to give it a try. Nice easy find and a spot to sit so I could make some notes about the puzzle. TFTC and the seat!

Cool!

Got bored and decided to hunt a cache for a smiley

This was a nice easy and quick find in a fly by area

10 min to find

TFTC

A nice easy park and grab on the way home from the movies. TFTC.

Quick find on our way home from the shops. TFTC

Tftc replaced bag otherwise ok

Searched for ages and found the most likely spot. Am confident the cache has been compromised

cache find #3147. Out and about geocaching today and this one has been on the to do list for some time. Found the cache easily. TFTC.

Came past here so remsjw and the geokids popped out for a quick find.

Out with misssusan and geokids. Trod in something sticky but not eclipsed by that. Easy find. Container is becoming a dry house for many ants.

Found Total Ecllipse without co-ords, informative logs and pictures. Have triangulated with 3 other caches to come up with co-ords.

F-14 Tomcat visited...

Quick find Had a bite to eat at the petrol station to get out of the heat! Checked out plane at the end of the road TFTC!!

Quick and easy find. Log book full. Photographed the clue and checked out the fighter plane up the road. TFTC

Log book requires replacement but all in order. Found on the ground not in its giddy hole but still all there.
TFTC

On our way out for lunch and Mr LHE Duo decided to stop and look for this one. He passes this way to and from work but during the week the area is too busy. It was a quick find and soon logged and back in its hiding place. TFTC

Found on the way out of Brisbane. Interesting to find out when we pulled up here that my father in-law lived in this house and his father was the care taker for the warehouse many years ago. A quick find and TFTC GraKez

Found and the riddle solved. TFTC.

A nice easy find, ta.

Found it! First for this series. The book is full so we wrote in a space sometime during 2011-2012.

A leisurely log without risk of muggles... Bring something for the Maggies to eat though

Tftc... first find of the day... left some euro coin...

Nice easy cache for a change. TFTC

TFTC

Found it

Got it and the first clue.

Easy find for a change, Haven't been here for years, TFTC

After a big night at work last night i was off to a late start today after lunch. It had taken me quite a bit of thinking to decide where to head today, but Indooroopilly was the final decision, so I decided to make a couple of finds along the way.

This was the first stop for the day, and it was nice to find the area to be pretty quite on a Sunday afternoon, it sure does make the hunt a little easier. Although to be honest this one did not need much hunting as It spotted it on approach from my chosen parking spot.

I got the log signed and actually got the clue from this one, although that could be a bit of a problem as I did not think to collect the clues from the other six in the series that I have found... Opps.

TFTC

Ants ants ants
With a Chooks2

Found it nice and easy

Tftc,

Nice quiet day being public holiday so got to GZ and a quick search had cache in hand. Thanks GraKez.

Found early this morning. Not another sole around.
Another bit of interesting history we've learnt as we slowly work our way through the series collecting the clues.
Thanks for the cache GraKez

Thanks

Tftc easy one

This afternoon I had to drop my visiting father and brother in law at the "sliders" just around the corner. Not being a rev-head, I opted to go caching whilst they got their fill of blue rubber smoke. Third cache around these parts.

I first noticed the velcro attachment under the feature. The container velcro no longer attaches, but the container is in a logical spot. Watch out for the broken glass.

I took a drive down the road to check out the fighter. Clue recorded. Thanks for the cache, Grakez.

I found a very safe place to park nearby and walked to this one. My gizzmo wanted me to search in a particular area and I was not having any luck so I thought I must have been in the wrong spot so I went behind the sign and soon had it but there was a broken bottle on top of the container and I removed most of it. Big bag for such a small log and the log is damp. TFTC

TFTC. #159. A quick find and a photo of the question for the series and off in a flash.

Found this one but log dripping wet and super size clip bag for little log isn't the best but still signed tftc

A nice easy find by bennybopper jnr tftc

A quick park and grab to finish off the day. Logbook is damp but it is still able to be signed. Returned the cache and then went down the road a little to check out the old MIG jet on display. TFTC

Nice quick find with geolad. Log at tad damp. Tft c

Found it. Only 2 left - I'm getting closer to the mystery TFTC, Mark

I took a brief detour on my way home on a Saturday afternoon, hoping to tick this one off my list at last. I wasn't disappointed, being able to make quick work of this one with the place practically deserted. TFTC!

TFTC log is super soggy, but bag is sealing fine and dry. Bit of a mystery there. Thanks for the series. I get a bit of a thrill, crossing off yet another of the series

A nice quick find while out and about. Our first of the series and will continue. Tftc

T-Tech and I were in the area and grabbed this one for the August geocaching streak challenge The GPSr counted down perfectly and the cache was an easy find. We noted the clue. TFTC, GraKez.

After taking the long way home (via work) after a 11 day cruise around the pacific IolantheK and I decided to grab this cache
Nice easy find.
The cache is dry and in good conditon [^]

Day 2 in the August Geocaching streak challenge.

A quick park up and we soon had this one in hand. Grabbed the clue, signed the log and awwwaaaaay we go.

TFTC

A quick grab on a trip to BrisVegas. The log is very wet and will need replacing. Hope to grab some more in the series next time we are up. TFTC!

grabbed the clue !!

Parked at servo and made a quick stroll across and it was an easy find, lots of little black ants. Took clue, replaced cache. A quick find on my way to work this morning.

Log was still a bit damp but signable. There were little black ants everywhere inside and outside the cache.

Very easy

Nice easy find but a very wet log
TFTC

A nice quick find for the last cache of the day.

The poor container was lying on the ground all exposed. Saw where it should be and replaced it. The lid was not closed, therfore the log is quite wet!

GZ was easy to spot from across the road where I parked!

The cache was an easy grab

Alas the log is very damp. Guess I'm not a huge fan of the Velcro but it has a little life left in it.

Got back to the car and realised my pen was back at the cache... AAAARGH! I managed to do that several times today!
