wide awake at 3am so what do you do ... go caching

didn't realise this one was archived till contact with CO
thank you bristracker for allowing our log

Didn't realise this was archived till we contacted the CO. We found the remains of a cache (lid and toy) so contacted CO who told us this had been archived. That's what happens when you have your archived list and run for the day on the same GPS [|)]

Logging cache with permission of CO but there is nothing left to find.

We found It Beautiful Park! Sunny, Dry, Gre8 fun Swings, Space for Prince to run and catch cricket ball...

I have decided to take this one off line. It was placed during a time of drought, and has a good roll-up of visitors, but the constant rainy seasons have completely changed the nature of a geo-visit. No one has fun getting to this one any more, and I know I would not like to find squelchy ground on the side of a hill. The recent comments all show up the soggy ground issue and i believe the fairest thing is to save everybody any further discomfort and put this one to sleep.Thanks to all the geo-visitors along the way.

This is close to swamp land at the moment. My shoes were covered in mud and my socks drenched. I tried to take the highest path I could but even to get up to the start of the slope I had to trudge through slosh. Plenty of squelching for the final few cache hunts of the afternoon. Thanks for the cache.

Very swampy and rainy. Dogs barking everywhere.
Nice cache.

Swampy park after the recent rain, but a nice easy cache. TFTC

Lovely park that we would never have been to if we weren't geocaching. Nice easy find. Number 5 for the day.

This little cache is how I found out about Geocaching. A mate lives very close to the cache and he saw someone one day putting something at the tree. So after they left he went and investigated.
The next day he told me what he had found and asked if I had heard of Geocaching. I quick google search and we were both like far out this game is massive.
I should have made it my first find but after reading about Geocaching that night I found out there was some in my own area, so I started the next morning and found some before work.
A big thanks for placing this one here bristracker as I would still be a muggle.

A favorite point from me as this one was how I found out about geocaching.

Very muddy on the way to cache TFTC. 25/04/13 2:36 PM

What a nice park... for ducks.. it was very wet underfoot but the cache was found quickly and was safe. TNLN signed the log. A pair of gumboots would be useful for this cache for the next few weeks until it starts to dry out underfoot.

Visiting from Newcastle, staying with my brother in Nerang, found with him (frayeromm), TFTC bristracker!!

A bit wet in the park, but the geocycle kept my feet high and dry once more

This is only my second day out looking for caches with dimorgan. Really enjoying discovering these new area on the Gold Coast. Delightful little park
Thanks for the cache bristracker

Its Christmas Eve the shoppings done & groceries purchased, so its now time to do some caches.
With my sisters who will log her first find today, we visited many parks, gardens, bush bashed & did some lovely walks.
Merry Xmas & TFTC bristracker

easy

Tftc

Thought I would slip out today and begin a 7 in 7 days program. This one was dead easy. TNLN.
Cache was in the open so I put some leaves over it .

Pretty easy find, clown whistle is travelling thanks!

One of eighteen finds around the gold coast today. TFTC

Quick find with ManicWombat today. TFTC bristracker

Quick find and to my surprise found a geocoin inside. Decided to take it along for the ride. It got even better when I went to log it and saw it had been listed as missing for quite some time. Nice to be able to get one back from the void where so many seem to end up. TFTC bristracker

Found with Fizz62 on a big caching weekend. Nice easy find.

# 447

A short search and cache was in our hands.
TFTH. Signed log.

Walked down through the park,it was a bit wet under foot,but thats okay,found the cache without to much trouble.TFTC.bristracker.

Easy find once we hit the right tree. Found with kadin92.

Easy find GPS spot on. TFTC bristracker.

Mr. Garmin located GZ without any trouble and it did not take too much time to find the Prince - oops I mean cache.
TFTC bristracker

On an early walk near the "Lion Park" did this cache. Still very wet underfoot. TFTC

TFTCSL

Nice park and relatively easy find. TNLNSL, TFTC Bristracker.

Found this one after a soggy tromp through some very wet ground. The cache was uncovered and visible from a distance, so after we logged it, we carefully rehid it so that it wasn't quite so obvious. TFTC.

After grabbing two nearby caches, Xusia and I legged it to this one next. the ground was mighty wet at the bottom of the hill so some dodging of mud was required but soon were making our way towards GZ up the hill. I noted some muggles on a verandah but no interest was to be paid to us. The cache was very obvious so after the log signing ceremony it was rehidden a bit better before we headed down the hill and back to the car. TFTC bristracker

With the children over on Stradie for the day we, Geo Mum and I (GeoDad) were free to have a day of caching caching caching.

We decided to concentrate on this area so we could try for a good number of smileys.

Another soggy wet shoe search but at GZ a quck find.

Thanks bristracker TFTC TNLS SL

Found while out with my mum {Whint & Baddal} and my sister {Gambler2000}

this one was a nice easy find as it was not even covered. There was a park with a see saw kind of thing, and obviously there was alot of rain there so the ground was like sinkng sand. it was cool.

TFTC:)

Quick and easy find as it wasn't really hidden... log signed and put the log into a fresh baggie as the other was torn and the book fell out :/

Wow this park was a slosh pit... the playground was like a waterbed, you poked the ground and it wobbled with all the water underneath it... very strange!

Anyway, tftc

Nice walk through the park. Easy find. Thanks

Quick find. Couple of muggles working in a nearby yard but not too concerned. A couple 'guardian' beetles kept one geokid at bay.

My GPS was acting kinda crazy but wefound it! Tftc Sl

A quick find in a nice big regal park. TFTC bristracker.

Slink1 and I embarked on a boys own trip to the Gold Coast took some time out to collect a few caches along the way TFTC SL

A little yapping dog over the back fence would not shut up.

And my GPSr was wandering all over the place. But I eventually found the cache.

A nice easy find. Thanks bristracker.

A nice spot for a cache

TFTC

Found easily. Wifey was happy to return to childhood park. Does need to be painted again stood out due to bright blue thanks for the cache

TFTCSL quiet here! Ziplock bag broken. Maybe next to find can replace?

A quick find in the obvious spot which we spotted from down the bottom of the hill

Gaz'n'Kab

Found after a while, gps was playing up a bit and muggles had a party at nearby home. TFTC

Second last one for the day. Was very wet underfoot. Now off to find my namesake. TFTC

Last one for the day. Found with Stairman1 and geodog. The area was very muddy. Lucky for me I had my wellies on . TFTC

Yes the name makes sense now. At least sone of us know what you are talking about.

Nice park and easy find, 2nd for the day and still no Easter eggs [^]

TFTC SL TN LN

Found it - last for our raid today...

well the price was not in today - else he may also have had wet feet - quite a bit of surface water as we approaced GZ

Gunnie soon had cache to hand...

TNLNSL

Thanks briztracker for the cache

BTW - just watch who you are painting as old in your cache description here - I remember said royalty getting schooled here in the sunburnt land

A quick find to wrap up todays hunting convention for Kaisho53 and I. Although, we could have used a Kayak to approach GZ from the angle we came in at...

Cheers bristracker

Took the coin, left the streamers... In celebration of my first geocache find

Another one of those caches that make me looking in a million directions at once.. hunting for watching muggles Thankfully the cache was found and was in good condition. I picked up the trackable. TFTC bristracker

Found with geokids while on holidays. Dropped off Blue Travel Racer TB to commence his race with Red Travel Racer TB. In keeping with the theme of this cache, Blue Travel Racer is an antique racer TB, I think the prince would approve! TFTC

Found this cache with Dannza after a short walk through the lovely park. TFTC

Yep just the right spot. Local kids playing in the well shaded play gym.

Last cache for me in Gold Coast trip. Good park and nice easy find. SL TFTC

Motormouse69 found it with the kids in tow, Credit goes to Bradley for locating this one. This one is only our 2nd find. Kids are already hooked!

Very muddy and mushy under foot. Why Oh Why is there always a hill............Took Frog Left Eiffel Tower. TFTC

A bit of a muddy wander to get this one. Took Troll toy and left loin puzzle toy.

The ground was still a little wet today, and even though I didn't have my boots with me, I made it to GZ without getting very muddy or sinking up to my ankles! The houses nearby are lucky to back onto such a large backyard . Thanks bristracker for another enjoyable cache.

DNF. The gound was particularly muddy and slippery so we did not spend much time looking. I will come back when the ground dries up a bit (that might be quite some time after the drenching we have recieved).

easy find tftc

Thanks for the cache....

hey TFTC

Found with Bedmaker today.
It was a very wet and muddy walk to GZ but we managed to stay fairly dry.
TFTC

Found this with TassieGirl13.
A very wet walk in today.
Seems all the recent rain hasn't fully soaked in yet.
Still we got there with fairly dry boots and soon had the cache found.
TFTC.

Yup very wet underfoot but noone fell over and we got that smilie . Thanks bristracker

Oh my gosh this is soooo soggy underfoot. I really had no idea it was this bad. Sorry folks.
When I placed this cache (and others) we had been in a drought for ages. Now this park is so waterlogged nothing can drain away. I wouldn't blame you for leaving this one until a drier season. For those who want to try for a smilie I've left a Trackable Canada Flag Tag. The Crown Prince will have to make an official visit there if he becomes King. It used to be one of the Dominions of the Empire.

There is now a trackable here - Canada Flag Tag with punching bag attached.

EASY FIND AFTER SLOPPING AROUND IN WET AND I MEAN WET SLOPPY GRASS TO GET TO THIS ONE
TFTC
OUR FIRST FIND OF THE MORNING ON A LOVELY SUNNY DAY
MERRY XMAS AND A GREAT CACHING 2011

Park very wet underfoot after all the recent rain. Reminded me of the parks in NZ (also very wet currently). TFTC

My GPSr had me wandering around in circles here today,it hates trees, but it didn't take long to track down the cache.Thanks for the cache.TNLNSL

Lovely play in park great time to be a kid again TFTC

This was cache # 10 of 24 for the day, on a great day out caching around the Gold Coast. This was a nice park to visit, I opened the log to see my caching partner from Melbourne Alansee had been here. My thanks to bristracker for the cache.

The life of a prince would be fun - though I couldn't handle the public attention. Found this one with Biggles. TFTC

Cache #5 on our Gold Coast to Brisbane road trip. Once we worked out how to get into the park it was a quick walk to GZ. TFTC, Biggles.

20th of 29 for the day with two of my kids, James and Jasmine on a bit of a Gold Coast onslaught. Limited to traditionals pretty much with the kids. Kids played on the playground, getting a bit tired now while i made the find. Cheers.

Found in the obvious spot after a short stroll up the hill. TFTC

On a day when muggles caused the usual problems there was only one here today, making the task not too hard. Thanks to bristracker for the cache.

#4336 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba and Big Matt. An easy find in this open urban parkland.
Thanks

Found this cache with steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4131st overall find.

Found at about 10:25 AM. We were surprised how open some of these houses were to the park, found it quickly.

Thanks to bristracker for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found with The Rats and Big Matt as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

Another park in the suburbs with a cache- I do remember the name or at least it rings a bell with the Crown Prince. It amazes me how people's houses back on to these places and seemingly there is no boundary to their property..

TFTC!

Was a gorgeous park hidden away amongst the burbs. Had no problems finding the cache and then was on my way. TFTC

Nice playground kids had a play. Nice easy find. TFTC

Great park and a nice quick cache

About 20 years ago I taught at Timbertop and stayed during my time at the school in the same quarters that the prince and his entourage occupied back in the 60's.
I hadn't thought about those memories for ages until this cache and park popped up.
Thanks Bristracker.

Surprisingly large park here. Had a dig and came up trumps quicksmart. TFTC.

What interesting history SL TNLN TFTC

A quick easy find - quite obvious to the Geocacher TFTC

Popped by for another park visit.

Nice quick find TFTC bristracker
