Aged Care Ashmore, Queensland, Australia
By bristracker on 28-Nov-09. Waypoint GC21FZA

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it 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 us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Have been out to measure up for a cache container in a new hidey hole. Currently in production.

Checked again today and no sign of the little devil. With the change to the fencing arrangements it may be best to take this one off the list altogether. Hate to risk another muggling if such it be.

Had to go twice. Lot of mugglers. Kids got ask by land owner where they ok did they drop something. Time to got and try another day

Another nice park

Found cache. TFTC.

Yes there is a new wall constructed near where I'd placed the cache, putting it just out of reach. Have now replaced a film canister within easy reach. Please let me know if you missed a find because of the missing container. Co-ordinates stay the same.

Believe it or not, a second geocacher has flicked the cache over the fence. I'll have to replace it. Apologies to those who couldn't find it. If you contact me I'll make sure you can claim a find.

Thanks bristracker for permission to log this cache under the circumstances, thanks muff1 for that day it was great TFTC

We were unable to sign the log, I got in touch with the owner and they have kindly given permission for us to log this one. Thanks bristacker, setter of great caches. TFTC

First search was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Used hint and then it was an easy find.
TFTH. SL

My last search for this cache was over 12 months ago and I see from the logs since then that the cache has had a number of lives. This time it was an easy find. I had to negotiate some trash to retrieve the cache but all is ok. TFTC.

Great hidding spot and well hidden .but it was still a quck find for us

Second time lucky little frog is off on a new adventure. Left coin behind

Another nice little park to have a coffee in the Ashmore area, easy find TFTC

Easy find on the way home... TFTC

TFTC Left small surprise for next to find! Not a cane toad!

This cache was part of our holiday to the gold coast and sunshine coast. Although we did not go as a caching holiday only we still managed to find over 100 caches in our ten days. The density of the caches some of the areas made a quick 10 or so fairly easy. The only cache I really wanted to get was Queens Land, one of the oldest caches in Australia. The family really enjoyed the weather, theme parks, shopping and of course the caches. Thank you to all the people that have placed the caches in these areas.

Quick Find on a Rainy Day. The Rain kept the muggles away, but it was not Tasmanian Cold, so it was quite comfortable to walk around in a coat and shorts.

An easy find today by Ashy, took a 1st timer along for the find, and they loved it..

Fairly easy one, didn't take very long to find at all.

FTF for the new container! Very easy and found in almost a minute once got to site. SL TFTC

I've placed another container here. It should be fairly obvious to the geocacher's eyes. New log and pencils in place.

Found the cache and was grabbing it (while delicately stepping over the garden rubbish and without getting the many many ants annoyed) when the cache flipped out of my hand into the nearby yard . I am so sorry bristracker but it was not retrievable on private property. I feel extremely awkward about the whole situation . Sorry!

Edit: logged with permission (thank you!)

A lot of palm fronds and rubbish has been dumped here. Very hesitant to hunt around in this area for fear of spiders and broken glass

Found it today,

Relatively easy cache to locate just a bit difficukt to retrieve....

A number of residents having tea & scones adjacent to GZ and seemed to go quiet at any small noise made sneaking up to nab the cache...

Success & cache to hand (without being sprung)

Log signed & cache returned

TNLNSL

Thanks briztracker for the cache..

Time for caffiene break now....

Kaisho53 suggested he had spotted the container and was moving in, ever so quietly... I stood back a little and kept an eye on things. Names in the log, Kaisho53 reactivated his ninja like skills for a swift replacement... [^]

Cheers bristracker.

I had tried for this one earlier. As I could hear folks in the nearby house - I was having none of that. Later on, Radnoski and I returned. When Radnoski found this one, it was in another area so it was all new to him. But having him play "watcher of muggles" worked well. I spotted the beast and cringed. I threw caution to the wind and made the swoop. Signed the log and the swooped it back. The cache is in good condition - and I think I have a few more grey hairs now TFTC bristracker

Nice quick find. SL (clean new log) TFTC

This one is now back up, with better camo.

Grabbed this one to effect some camo and place a new log. Back by weekend.

Was passing for work today so thought I'd better grab this one - it would have been plain rude not to!!!
Took a little while to locate as GPSr signal a little bouncey here. As I was retrieving it - I had to duck down quickly to avoid detection from the muggle in the house right at GZ as he come out into the garden. I think I was quick enough to avoid detection. I must have looked a bit stupid hiding behind a fence signing the log! Managed to sneak it back quickly then high-tail it outta there.
Only 1 spot left on the log. TFTC Bristracker.

The hiding spot of the cache was innovative, it brought a smile to my face when I spotted it. As previous finders have noted the log is damp, but is still signable. I unrolled the log and dried it on a nearby table for a little while, it was a pleasant spot to stop and have a cool drink. Thanks for the cache.

found a park with a playground .. bonus with the four year old while we hunted! ibis today was the icon of the day an improvement from ants yesterday!

Thanks for the cache fun and easy just took us 2 minutes....

hey TFTC

Log wet

Cache is VERY DAMP. As were my feet after finding this one. SL TFTC

Quick find with Bedmaker today.
TFTC

Found this with TassieGirl13.
Saw this on approach so a quick find for us today.
TFTC.

TFTC. Last one after a good day caching.

Sun out for a few hours so took the opportunity to go for a walk and look up a few caches

This one was our 3rd find of the day

tftc

On a caching weekend with Mr & Mrs Mischievous Maverick, and Mr & Mrs Rastas000. Great Fun. Thank you!

On a caching weekend away with Rastas000, Mrs Rastas, The Green Geckos (Both of them), my wife and I had a marvellous time. Oh, and we got some caching done, too!

Rastas called over the UHF "We're looking for Aged Care".

My [rather obvious] response was "Thanks, Rastas, but we're a little younger than you."

Predictably, it was met with, what they call in the radio & television broadcasting industry, "dead air".

Part (Day 1) of a weekend caching blitz from Brissy to Murwillumbah and back via the Numinbah Valley with GreenGeckos and Mischievous Maverick! TFTC

Muggles just on the other side of the fence.. The Gecko replaced stealthily!!

Nice quick find with a dog for cover TFTC bristracker

Found it No. 3200 ... attachment has come off the lid, we did not have anything to repair it ... TNLN ... TFTC

Well spotted by mrs pptrekerz. Needs glue to reattach item to lid (still in place - just) have no glue in car sorry. Geokids enjoyed the playground while we logged the find. Thanks to Bristracker.

All maintenance issues have now been attended to and the cache is ready to go again.

I have been able to find a suitable container and have hidden it at new co-ordinates.

New co-ordinates:

S27 59.167
E153 23.095

Today there were tree services personnel assessing the health of a large gum that had lost one of its limbs. Amazing just how many trees there are around the perimeter of the park. The tree men told me a lot of work has been done on the trees around here.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 27° 59.160 E 153° 23.087
Distance From Old: 60.7 feet or 18.5 meters.
Please note new co-ordinates.

Sorry people, the terrain seems to have changed around here. I'll do some detective work and get this cache back up nearby.

no luck today

Hmmmm could someone please check this I couldn`t find it either

No joy here for us either. Only one place really fitted the hint, and we drew a blank there.

The GPS was pointing me to the middle of the pathway so I resorted to the clue. Similarly to the previous cacher, I located the only spot (15m away) which fitted the clue and found nothing.


There is another large block of concrete lying in the park but I couldn't see where it had come from.

Hmmm, I found only one fence post with concrete at the bottom but that was an unmovable block (well, it may have moved with some more effort but I didn't think it was this block). There was another block a foot or two away, and likewise at another fence post. I inspected both posts but couldn't see anything.

[Bristracker, is it missing or did I have the wrong eyes on this afternoon?]

Found after a great day at Seaworld. TFTC

I love it when a cache hint is lovely and clear like that, made this such a comfortable find this afternoon with The Marble and JustEmmy after a full day at Sea World. TFTC ='.'=

Stepped into the squish just as La Kedi warned me it was there. The Marble beat me to the find. TFTC

No muggles today to avoid but was pretty squishy underfoot once you're off the path. TFTC

Good hide and we lucky found...

While out looking for the Domain Aged Care facility (and on our countdown to 1000) we thought that if we navigated on this cache that we'd get close. And we did. A quick find, but didn't realise that we'd been muggled by a person sitting in the Rotunda until cache was in hand. Hope cache remains safe. #996
TFTC

Good hiding spot
Found by Kai,Cale and Bailey

Found it after visit brother in law near work.
Thanks for the cache and hunting.

TFTC nice hide 1 muggle sitting in the shelter getting drunk lol

ok this 1 was a lil tricky TFTC

TFTC nice hide

TFTC nice hide 1st in QLD for me

This is a busy little cache today. I was there about 11.30am.

The guy hadn't started drinking in the shelter (see earlier posts) at that stage. (or maybe he had passed out by then)

I have found this one and it is OK. Will change co-ordinates after I get better readings in daylight. Meanwhile use the clue if you're caching in the area.

After arriving at the park we realized that the cache was unavailable but, we decided to have lunch and search anyway. Geowife found it in no time however, the cache was 15M SE of the advertised position. SL TFTC

Am temporarily taking this one off while I check co-ordinates after last two logs signalled a problem. Thanks folks. Will be back shortly.

Spent a bit of time scrabbling around at GZ for this one then decided to check the clue - coords somewhat out

The coordinates were a bit out, but the clue helped narrow down the search. Like the fountain at the entrance.

TFTC bristracker

Quick lunchtime find on way back from a meeting. TFTC

Needed the clue to find this one, but good spot once I found it

Another clean log page. Whew! Thank goodness! Had to wait around for this one. A very upset man was having a dispute loudly over a mobile right by GZ. Didn't want to appear I was eavesdropping so I had to walk through the park, wait, and then return. Another wait while an exercising pair passed and then the hunt was on. Thought I would find it quickly with the clue, but no such luck. With tree cover and several likely spots it took a while. Also, by now it was dark and I hadn't brought a torch with me. Trying to see what I was doing by the light of the mobile. Thanks for the new caches Bristracker. Nice!
