As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

I'm tall looked high and low, specially around the edge of the tin roof. I think the owner should check this one.

Still nothing from CO, I think it's time to archive this one ?

I think its time for a needs maintenance on this one - as it hasn't been found in a long time.

Searched high and low, with no luck.

At least the shelter kept me out of the torrential rain. Happy Australia Day

Been back a few times to this one, but still no luck. Very hard to search discretely as there are lots of cars and muggles walking/riding/jogging past! Will keep trying though

Still no luck , last look this time in brisbane. TFTC

Could this cache be checked out for me as will not be back to brisbane for a few months and would be mind soothing to know

back in Brisbane again and an other look but still could not find TFTC

Found ages ago I am just going through my old finds tftc

No where to be seen. Has this one been checked lately?

Previous logs say it all. Small and chockers and at a busy intersection where passers by stare at you as you casually go about the business. tftc AmbulareSimia

Yay, very happy to find this one with brownsnakemob geobf. Had been here before and after reading previous logs thought it had been moved again. Was happy to see Team Benders make a return and find it after her injury last time, so we knew we had to come and find it.

Glad to have the smilie.

Log very full, added a piece of paper to scribble on but is a tight fit.

TFTC.

2nd attempt at this one , found it with willisoo7. Im sure i checked and rechecked this one, go with hint.Can confirm that the log is totally full but I added a small piece of paper with our details

I am sure glad to get a smiley on this cache after a nasty fall at this venue in January this year. I took geopartner with me on this one and pointed out where to feel as I am not very tall. Log is chockers and needs to be replaced. TNLNSL TFTC Thanks AmbulareSimia

Had a good look but no find here!!

Dfn , searched hard in fading light .
Confusing info as to whether this one still is hidden . Seems to have been moved a lot . Will go back In Better light . Would like to know if anyone has found this since ?????????

This was our second nano search with brownsnakemob so thought we'd find it easy. No such luck tho and after about half an hour gave up. Hard to know if we were on the right track since cache had been moved several times. Will try again tho.

Cool chache. Very greatful for the clue.

=) After a couple of DNF's on this one I was happy to make it a smiley today, seems the cache was in a much more obvious area than the other times ive been here, it clearly isn't in the right spot as it doesn't meet the difficult rating or terrain for that matter, seems to cache creep alot from reading previous logs, still a sneaky little cache and Im very happy to finally get this done TFTC =)

The log is completely full and needs replacing.

24 of 25 finds today on a geomish with ayepeacee. We weren't sure how long this one would take us - nanos on structures of any kind usually mean we will have an epic fail. Also it was ayepeacee's second visit and we had heard from other finders that this one suffers from some cache creep. Today ayepeacee spotted it before too long and then enzo also found it. The log is completely full, but we squeezed our initials in a corner. TNLNSL TFTC!!

While out and about with team nanabombana, she mentioned that there was a cache close by that had once nearly driven her crazy!!! Hearing these words I just had to come find the mind altering cache!

So searching, searching, searching!!!! All the while looking like some sort of crazy half ape person
Then nothing???? Hmmm, team nanabombana had a look as to where she had finally found it, but hmmm, no cache there?

So then the search was really on!!!! Unfortunately, our search ended when we found the cache not where it should be [?]

So after I signed the log, team nanabombana placed the cache where she had found it the last time she was here.

TFTC AmbulareSimia

Nice cache. Glad I'm not short.

Very busy with vehicular traffic but manged to secure it from hiding hole and by the time we had signed and replaced it the traffic had disappeared!

First Nano find... Man that things small! Signed log but it's getting pretty full... Put back in its spot for it's next victim. TFTC!

certainly was a micro..nice hide
found with pgriff and joshgreenbulls

Great hide, took a keen eye to spot this one, but we got there.
found with p.griff & kenneth.dougall thanks for the cache

this was a great cache, hidden extremely well. luckily keen eyes were around and was found pretty easily. tftc
found with kenneth.dougall and joshuagreenbulls

This was a nano so it is tiny & there is now not much space to sign the log. I think I am now officially hooked on this hobby!!! I am not sure how come I had not found it before expect to hear from me lots!!! Such fun to do with friends T-Tech,Ootiumfaan & IolantheK.

Very small. My first Nano Cache. Log needs replacing.

Out spending some time with friends that are new to Geocacheing. So NixOnTrix, Ootiumfaan, IolantheK (my geospouse), and myself arrived at GZ. This NANO took some time to find (tiny little thing [:(!] ) We sort of took turns at finding the cache till all of us had discovered the cache. Up roller and signed the log then off we went for a nice lunch .
Thanks for the cache AmbulareSimia.

Note: The log scroll is full and falling apart, needs replacement.

I had a look at this one once before, but didn't even attempt a search as I figured I'd need T-Tech's long arms to reach the cache. Whilst out caching today with T-Tech and 2 newbies Ootiumfaan and NixOnTrix we were nearby and decided to give this one a go. GZ is very obvious but finding the actual cache is very difficult >.< I hate nanos! T-Tech spotted it first and we all had a look at its hidey-hole before removing it to sign. Whilst T-Tech rolled the log and replaced the cache we all had a great natter and laugh about different sized containers, then decided it was time for lunch TFTC, AmbulareSimia.

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of Satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Clear skies!

found this one while in the area... log is full, could only sign with a BB

TFTH

refer to my log please

On a night raid, attempted to find this cache with geo partner. He could not find it so I attempted to look but as I am vertically challenged and could not reach. Did not attempt to stand on the brickwork but as I was getting down off the wooden seat, caught my foot and overbalanced and landed against the opposite bench badly jarring my back with a bruise the size of a horse kick. Out of action for a while til my back heals. Had to attend hospital to make sure kidney okay. Will be back later Thanks AnbulareSimia

Last day off before returning to the grind - how to spend the afternoon? Caching of course

I have been here a few times, at least twice where I had time and enough solitude gaps to do a good search ... nothing. Frustrating hide! I was here before the tree got cut down, as well (as a newbie cacher back then though, so I won't count that DNF!).

This is an unbelievably busy corner when trying to be inconspicuous.

This time I brought a couple of tools to try and help my search. My extensible magnetic stick clutched in my hand and the mirror and penlight ready to go in my geobag ... and I put my fingers right on it. Success. Finally. A Smilie!

Log book is awfully full, but I found a spot that seemed devoid of pencil markings (they can fade real quick). I was signing it anyway though, not positive I'd find this again.

Thankyou for a year of pain and agonising frustration AmbulareSimia. And for that blissful moment of success. I can sleep again!


WOOT!

I feel this one should be be called something else whats smaller than a micro TFTC

This has taken a couple or return visits but with a bit more experience this time we located quickly and can tick off the list. TFTC

Man! A year ago I spent an age looking... today it was about 70seconds.
I'd love to say that it's because I'm a year better at caching, but in reality and after reading some logs it sounds like it's been moved slightly to make it more accessible... and I'd agree because it was what I thought it would be and where I thought it would be.
So anyone who's DNFed about a year ago, you might have better luck now.
Thanks for a satisfying find, AmbulareSimia!
Oh I almost forgot! The Log is full (people are scrawling over the text on the back) and torn into two pieces. Maybe 2 more people could get their initials on there.

Had another go today, old wiser, but still empty handed. Couldn't get as good a look as I wanted to due to the incredible busy roads there. George st in the city is far quieter. Will be back.

This took me awhile.

But I found it eventually

AND YES THE LOG BOOK IS FULL.

Well I'm back again and today I'm wearing my cacheglasses. That was quick. Amazing what you can find when you know its there. TFTH

so you are here
what we thought
where we thought
lol

Log book is full. Found some spare space near disclaimer.

Found with Krewlworld, Maxxdog and call me daz we found this really hard as it ha FTP get push thur to the other side

Log full. Found after lots of poking fingers into places and potentially dangerous climbing. Cache was almost inaccessible so have replaced slightly more accessible but still well concealed. Thanks for this great, tricky cache.

=( okay this is a hard to find cache, spent a while here, wondered what was going on after a man look over the shelter...checked the difficult rating ooohhhh i see, attracted all kinds of unwanted attention as i started climbing up higher so i left, very keen to try this again =(

Maybe it was a bit ambitious for one of our family's first cache searches. Tried and failed this time but we will be back.

Found it! FINALLY!!!!! YES it is there!

Found it with uncle_Andy after about 5 attempts. Even needed to call in the help of professionals (la Kedi) tftc

Damn. Spent almost an hour scouring this structure, but turned up narda!

This one took some finding, even though it was a quiet Easter Friday. After about 1/2 hour of fruitless searching, we were about to give up when my fingers felt something. It was the cache and it had been pushed so far in, that i couldn't grab it.
What unfolded next ended up being both frustrating and comical, but it would be a spoiler if i told about it. All i will say is that if the container goes in far enough, it will change your retrieval method somewhat. Thanks for the challenge AmbulareSimia

No luck this time

Had a quick look but was far too obvious in lycra and spotlights on my head in the dark. I shall return at a more suitable hour one day to claim this one.

No deal! fisherw0man and I scoured that whole structure, climbing all over it!
I'll be back!

Searched every nook and cranny of this shelter with a geofriend but no luck - very disappointing. But I won't letit get the better of me - I'll be back for another look!

Quick find and always glad to find a nano. TFTC Log pretty full.

Its got to be here somewhere! Never tried for a Nano, will have to come back again. Had geokids scrambling everwhere.

Thanks. Rough one. Found with a little help from Ferrarista

Last cache for the day and wasn't going to let this one beat us!! Nice nano! Thanks for the cache!

Searched and searched and even knowing this is hard to find I could not find it today. I'll be back. TFTH

Went back to this one today and . . . . ta da. Mind you, it still took a bit of looking. TFTC

This was cache # 9 of 17 for the day, on a nice warm day caching around the hills. This one beat me back in June, but today I was determined to find it, it sure had been pushed in along way, I had to use a tool to get it out. My thanks to AmbulareSimia for the cache.

Actually found this one ages ago and didn't log it as we didn't have a pencil. All good.

I didn't find this one either but I have to admit that I probably don't look as hard when I feel a bit exposed. It wasn't where a previous finder had found it as she was with me. I'll leave this for another time.

Searched for a quite a while but couldn't find this one. Will visit again some time.

This must have been in almost the last place I had left to check. Would be very surprised if this one ever got Muggled. TFTH

WHoooa PHEW found it after 3rd times.. clever hide and hide well........

mmmm.... lots of muggles making it difficult. But this one had the better of us. Thanks anyway

Took me a long time to find this one with NyletaM looking on (who had found it previously).
Lucky for me she is very patient....
Eventually after swapping from one side to the other numerous times, I had the little sucker in my hands
TN (obviously) and SL.
TFTC.

I am so happy to have found this. I don't know what I was doing last time, but it only took me 2min to get it this time. This is a great little spot, almost looks designed just to hide a cache , maybe someone in the council is a cacher.

Thanks again!

Luckily, I had the stature required and had the cache in hand within 20 seconds of arrival, much to Loki's disgust... Turns out Lokipagan spent far too long hunting this one...

Very neatly placed...

Cheers AmbulareSimia.

After finding my first and second nano's recently in Melbourne, I was excited to find my first in Brisbane, and geodaughter to see her first. Couldn't find it however, so will have to try another day. TFTC.

daylight sure makes a difference..........had a look last night but this little creature evaded us but in the right light was a quick find.what is this shelter for???hiding nanos???sl.tftc.

Kms for my TB Shirt recording all Caches I have been to.

Rocked up with 1uzferunner after he told a story about his last DNF here.
I jumped up on one side of the shelter while he searched the otherside only to hear "found it"
this cache did not live up the story that preceded it..
My first nano
TFTC

Decided to have another go at this cache, but didnt like my chances as last time it was daylight and I search the whole GZ,
But proved to be an easy find this time maybe due to the last finder???? proved to be a quick easy find and was in plain sight.
Not really a diff lvl 3 so i moved the cache an inch to bring it inline with the rating and put it in to hiding..
TFTC
TNLNSL

All is good here

Almost gave up but thought I should use logic and cache was soon to hand, I think I took more time rolling the piece of paper back up!!! Wondered what the shelter is for as it doesn't seem to be a bus stop!! TFTC

Great little cache this, took a bit of investigating but all you need is a keen eye. proud to make my first solo find.

I had searched the area pretty thoroughly and checked my notes as I walked back to the car.

Ah ha a Nano - That makes a difference. Walked back and put my hand in the right spot straight away.

FTF....!!!! logged in ...!! This was our first "first to find" as no others were logged on the sheet.... Team Connelly were hot on our tails and got there as we were loggging....

Thanks to Team Keir great find.... this was our First micro... awesome... SL TFTC

Looked in the right place first up and obviously didn't do a very good job. Wandered off for a few other caches, came back and put my hand straight on it. I do so hate that, but can't complain as I ended up with the find. Grateful I'm not a shorty today. TFTC

I'm sure I looked there first time! Abandoned this one first up and went to visit a couple of others nearby. Returned past this one and thought we'd have another go. Sure enough, there it was! The log is dangerously full, only one slot left. TFTC!

There was no way. I had to act as lookout while EngPhil searched, seeing as I was not properly endowed (hurr hurr) to get this one. Still, it was a joint effort, and it counts! TFTC!

Found this elusive little bugger with Radnoski. TFTC!

Just waiting for a bus Mr Muggle and having a bit of a stretch. (I was prepared to say)

Another one for team Radnofang. TFTC. TNLN.

A nice, quick grab today, good hide but glad I knew what to look for. TFTC ='.'=

413 - Found after about 10 mins of looking and like previous finders the main obstacle was the frequent cars passing by. However in the end this sort of helped as whilst taking a break as some passed by, I contemplated its likely hiding place and found it on the second try. Nice hide, thanks for another find today AS.

Micro is not the word for it. Mini Nano more apt description. My thumb nail is nearly bigger. Did second visit in two days and finally found it by 'feel' after re-reading previous entries mentioning magnetic. It was a bit hard to see from inside the monolith building (grandest bus shelter i have ever seen. Must have cost the Pine Rivers (original council) a fortune to build).

I have been searching for a while... gave up!
Drive off to next cache nearby.
Look at my gps and this cache shows up..
Thought myself better go back and try this to see if I have my patience to find it.
It works!
Found it after few mins.
Whooo!
Thanks for this cache and hunting.

Found relatively quickly considering we were looking for something slightly larger!! Great hide. TFTC AmbulareSimia

Eleventh find of 13 caches today. I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, just needed to find it. Took longer than I expected due to the constant stream of muggles cars driving by. Then finally "bingo" there it is. Signed the log and moved on to the next cache.
TFTC

Interesting little structure, cant' figure out why it is here and I couldn't find the cache.

Will tray again soon.

Found after a fair search at GZ. SL. Thanks.
They sure build shelters to last in this neck of the woods!
