Logs
I found the original GZ, but it was definitely empty, I decided to skip this one but as I left I checked the logs just in case, Oh I see The cache was a quick find at the new location. The contents are dry, but a bit sparse now. I do really feel that this cache is in need of maintenance, the coordinates need to be updated or the cache moved back to the original location. The new location is OK, but could be easily found.

Really glad I read the logs for this one first! Cache was found fairly quickly at the coords mentioned by Fangsoki and ALL7. Not sure why it's not at the published coords though. It's still a little bit wet. This really is deluxe accomodation. TNLNSL TFTC!
After seeing the previous logs for this one - I didn't hold up much hope. However, I located the beast given previous co-ords in ALL7's log. Cleaned out this fine cache and shouted it a new notebook and plastic bag. TFTC!
Cache needs a very good proper dryout. A very fine looking scientific calculator was drenched (shook it dry). Re-hid the beast under some foliage (at the previously mentioned co-ords S27 21.476 E152 59.258) - a few metres from the closest stump. It's not a bad temporary hide if I do say so myself :p

Found the hollow tree easily as the camouflage material still remains in place. However could find no trace of the cache after a pretty thorough search within 15m of the hide.
HI, We arrival GZ, Searched Searched everywhere about 15 mins as found cache was on S27 21.476 E152 59.258, saw cache were open and water was fill up and found some things everywhere then pick it up put to cache! One thing no lognote and i put paper note for my name...see photo!!!! Can you please checking... Thank ALL7
went for a quick look while in the area found thegz and a perfect place for a cache looks like some pieces of cover have been placed there by ogres but no cache there will look again but sure i was in the right spot.
our favourite of the day, couldnt find the street closest to it so hikes about 1km to get to the cache but found great parks along the way. TFTC this one was alot of fun, great container too!
By far me favourite cache hiding spot of the day... What a fantastic area... Baroki Scout, VWNuts and I wanderred down the path to hit water with the GPS still suggesting 16m... Hmm, that's a little too much to be assuming an error... So, off to find a way across. 10m or so up stream, I found a perfect way over the water and at that crossing, it was a completely different environment and feel... Just great... [^]
Over the other side the cache was found quickly. I waited for the others to make their way over to sign the log. After all, it was too nice to have them miss out...
Thanks for bring us to a great spot Pride of Ogres.

I really loved this cache. We came in from the wrong side of the creek and had to find a suitable crossing point which wasnt too hard. Cache was found by Gunnie. This area reminded me of my childhood in the Northern Territory racing paddlepop boats in creeks just like this.

I picked the wrong entry and had to jump over the swiftly flowing creek. That added a bit more excitement to the day. I really enjoyed my walk. It was raining lightly and the forest smelled great. TFTC
at 10:55. The cache is in good order.

A beautiful location for our first find of the day at 9.10am with clankirks and LeadNinja. TFTC.
This was a very beautiful place this morning, it is nice to see water moving!
Thanks for the cache

Easy find, but again GPS too me to the wrong side, but I had lunch in the park until it was time to attacke the cache. Took geocoin.
Mossies....geeesh they were out in force today. But enough about that. Found the cache, dry and in good condition, without any problems.
Nice of you to place the chairs nearby
Thanks
Saw a way in from the SW but it looked too easy. So I opted for the eastern approach so I could have a little explore around as well. Isn't it amazing what you find in places like this. The local kids must love all the tracks going here there and everywhere. Found the cache no worries right where the GPS pointed. TFTH.
Loki was searching waaay off target.. hmmm perhaps I should be listening to the low battery warning?? Luckily pagan managed to stay on target. Left edelweiss GC. Hope this stays dry through the wet season! TFTC Pride of Ogres
This was interesting trying to find the Inn in the dark. We were only passing through on our way home from work, so no checking in today. TFTC
nice walk, enjoyed lookking around. forgot the insect repellant so decided not to room in this time.

365 - Found this one after a bit of looking and avoiding some kids who were skirting around the edges of the Hotel, but were using some of the facilities. Grabbed the cache at 12:17pm. Took the Platypus Dan GC and left a Zoid. TFTC Pride of Ogres. Quite a different setting in the bush! Brissy Guy Junior also found a small snake sleeping in a near by log.
Found at 0857 with Marg. Afer walking around looking for a way into the GZ we found the cache pretty quickly then discovered a shorter way back to the carpark. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.
Geocycled in for an early morning find. Nice spot to sit down, read a paper, watch TV or listen to the music. I'm not sure if this is part of the Motel or is it the neighbours establishment.
Great little spot now to see if i can get throught to the nearby cache.

I rode the pushbike from the nearby Dawn of Monty cache, along the mown grass behind the fences to get to this cache.
In my wake I left a trail of barking dogs [:o]
But down by the creek everything was peace and quiet.
Amazing spot tucked away in suburbia [^]
In the beautiful surroundings I took me time finding the cache and taking in me surroundings
That's a mighty fine cache container.
Probably a 4 and a half star motel
I checked out "Todies Wild Ride: Wear your bicycle helmet" geocoin and booked in "Alfred" TB.
TFTC and discovery of a beaut spot [^]
PS: anagram time
A Combing Nerds Nett Log !!

Very nice but slow walk into the cache, with a whole new world of smells and sounds in the bushland to keep geodog interested in proceedings.
Treaded lightly at GZ, and found the Ogres' INN safe and well.
Took Skippy TB.
Left a Mt Isa touristy-type coin/token.
SL. Thanks for the cache and a wander through a nice piece of bushland along the creek here.

Lots of room in the cache for TBs. Found it easily after a pleasant walk. Took the "Leo" TB to meet Mrs Lat&Long and left "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" TB
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 1pm. This is a new area to me; didn't know it was here. Once I found the entrance the rest was quite easy. TNLN and TFTC
Nice easy find after a casual stroll through the park nice spot indeed. I wonder how much water comes through when it rains? That creek would look beautiful flowing. Dropped off a TB and a GC SL TFTC
Yay!
*FTF*
Took the wrong approach to this one and ended up having to cross creeks and stumble through the scrub.
Nice hide.
Took FTF pin.
