cracker jack Moorooka, Queensland, Australia

Cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing.

I am archiving the listing for the time being. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (next 30 days), just contact me (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

In the area to do a multi and decided to grab this on the walk back to the car. Using Capt Terror's coordinates the cache was soon found. By my reckoning it is 167m from the given coordinates. Agree with the good captain's remarks on this one. Get it archived and free up the area for a better hide.

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.

The cache owners have not logged in for many months and with such awful co-ords for this cache being 160odd metres out, this one needs some attention to alter the listed co-ords or archiving instead.

Am very glad for the co-ordinates that Captain Terror left as the cache was some 166 metres off from the co-ords listed here :/

CT co-ords were spot on and we grabbed the cache quick smart...

on leaving we had to go past the CO's listed co-ords and there are some pretty cool gardens happening there... very nice

tftc

this was a nice easy find...glad there were different co-ords....there was like a cool little community garden of different plants.

TFTC:)

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

tftc

As I said in my found log, the co-ords are a very, very long way out. These need updating or cache type altered.
S 27° 31.778 E 153° 01.630

While completing a multi I was to walk past this one so stopped for a look. Set the GPS onto it ad started looking around. Found nothing likely so headed to the description. Nothing there seemed to make sense so went to the hint. Ah, that is even more confusing. Never had to solve a puzzle for a traditional before. So I stared at the painting trying to work out how many there were and after a few recounts headed off counting joints, not impressed very much. Where I ended up proved a huge search area and the GPS was useless, having no co-ords (although I do see they are listed in the description). I poked around for a good 20minutes before I gave up and made a PAF for help. Some guidance later and a lot more poking I came across the cache. I took a reading at GZ and noted it was over 100m from the posted co-ords. This one should be listed as a multi or puzzle as the cache is certainly nowhere near the posted co-ords. I have posted the co-ords of where the cache is. Having said that the cache is in good condition. TFTC.

Great spot. I didn't know this park was here.

Out for a big day on the geobike today.

I did this one while doing the multi nearby. I went first to the community gardens then to the cache which is tucked away nicely.

A great little hide. All well with the cache.

We also went to the first coordinates. There was a community garden here so worth the walk. TFTC.

Found with Stairman1 and Geodog on a windy Sunday morning. Read the clues and headed towards the GZ. Took a while to find the container. Signed the log and headed off back to the warmth of the car. TFTC.

WoW, we attempted this one in the dark with a very tired geomunchkin who was BUSTING to go to the loo.. We were confused because we just put cords in from where we parked and went from there... The little geomunchkin was begging to hurry up as she was making a awful lot of noise and being it was dark it made it even more sus why we were searching this area with a torch as if we were looking for a hole for her to go in!

After about 30 min of scratching our head and telling the geomunchkin to stop being loud we FINALLY located the cache! Great hide and much to our surprise we found a pathtag inside so made it sooo worth our little girls wait for the loo! Now she wants us to buy her a bracelet as this is her second one she found and now she is going to take it to show and tell at school!! TY to whomever made my daughters night and mine to as now she will not go to sleep as she is too excited about her new pathtag! LoL!!

TFTC!!

Out on the MTB to test out the new gps, seems to work well so far. TFTC SL dropped a pathtag for the next lucky cacher.

Found @ 3:27pm with Team Goanna on Day 3 of our (I say "our" but my partner-in-crime Fore! was visiting a friend and missed out on this one!) trip to Brisbane to visit Team Goanna

I'm not sure how this one got away with being listed as a traditional as the cache is not at the listed co-ordinates. Anyway, it took a second read of the 'description' from Team Goanna before we made the short trek to the find.

Thanks for the cache Taylor Crew!

Picked up this cache after meeting our friends from Sydney at the Moorooka bowls Club, took our time finding this cache which was a mistake as the sky was about to open up. Not fun riding home in the rain on a motorbike.

Found on our 2nd attempt. Nicely hidden. Took keyring left dinosaur. Tftc

Cobwebs, tree branches, just about gave up in frustration - but then there it was. Approach direction was important. Another one found with Yveval.

Was up here from NSW visiting family in Annerley. Couldnt resist grabbing a nice close cache. I did this really early in the morning when all the dog walkers were out and must have looked odd after my search because I came out brushing spider webs outta my hair! lol

TFTC. Great hide, took some time to find, but it was all in the approach.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

We must learn to read descriptions as we had some trouble with trying to locate GZ from the hint.

Once GZ had been identified, the cache was soon in hand. SL and replaced cache without any further troubles.

tftc, hated the bush and all the spiders. Luved the passionfruit on the way back. Thanks

Found at 1132. Had a walk past some old Holdens on the way to the cache, Brought back some memories. On the return to the snack in support of the local scouts. Cache ok log book was a bit damp but still usable. TFTC.

Very clever. Got the clues right, but checked with the co-ords. Yes in the right area. nice easy find.
TFTC

Very creative clue. TFTC SL

The hint on this one just had us plum confused. I stepped out what was required in the beaming heat and started a small hunt. So many areas. Checked the listing. Hmm. theres the co-ords. Went to the co-ords and found the cache safe and sound almost instantly. Surprised some poor girl and her dog when I stepped out. TFTC Taylor Crew

Found it but was with three year old and forgot to sign. First ever cache find. TFTC

Almost gave up, it had us stumped but we found it!

Found this one with Mr Gap after a trip to JAs. A nice little park to visit. TFTC Taylor Crew

Ms Wig and I wanted to test our new GPSr, so we parked about 300m away and wandered down and around the streets to GZ.
... then we continued to try and find the cache... tried the hint as well....but eventually trusting the GPS had us there.

TFTC Taylor Crew

2nd find of the afternoon TNLN TFTC Steve & Lucy

at 17:24. It was very convenient to do this in conjunction with the excellent multi Moolabin Creek (GC10CPC). However for the third cache in a row our hearts sank at the sight of the dreaded Lomandra as we approached GZ!

Thanks Taylor Crew. The cache is fine though the logbook was slightly damp like everything else in Queensland today.

I was glad to be caching with others here as I really hate these plants and this way I could share the pain. The whole area was protected by spiders and their big webs too. So I was very glad to have the cache in hand very quickly. It was a rainy day today so there was no one about. TFTC

Boy, you sure have a lot of spiders on the south side. Managed to fight our way through the webs to retrieve the cache and sign the log. TFTC

Ewww, spiders. And spiky bushes. I confess I stood in a little clearing, dead still, and let my braver companions do the searching on this one. We were glad we read this one before we started, as we were able to park within metres of the cache. TFTC. =•,•=

Oh dear I didnt read properly - so come back and found - plenty web everywhere.... SL. Thanks Taylor Crew.

Attacked on a quiet day it was a nice quick find. TNLN, TFTC

I could figure out the clue (hands??) but did not need it anyway as the final coordinates were spot on. Thanks.

a good hide searched area found nothing moved to another found nothin moved back to original spot then found cache TFTC TNLNSL Duggstr

Found this cache with a brand new GPS ,so far we are very inpressed with it

Had tried unsuccesfully for this one before but the area seemed clearer than before. I had the GPSr as well as iPhone because the Hint was too hard for me! So no trouble to find this little one today on a dreadfully blustery and chilly afternoon. I was in a hurry to get back out of the wind and forgot to take any little swaps but there are some in there still. Thanks Taylor_Crew for this one.

while waiting for my GF i went looking for this one and could not find it

2nd attempt at this one first for the day happy hunting all

Nice easy find ...[^]... Took keyring, Left water pistol ......Took trackable ......TFTC

Stopped off while helping at the local scout hall , dropped a guitar trackable , no spiders today yippee

Found it No. 2885 ... quick find ... TNLN TFTC

Only one got one spider in my face, pretty good odds I'd say. Took me ages to find it and there is heaps of traffic today, felt a bit weird. Picked up the TB to help him continue his journey. TFTC.

The "hint" is confusing, how many? some over-lap are they one or two? the coords posted in the main however brought us to the cache.

7/07/10 3.45pm - Certainly seeing a lot of suburbs I hadn't been to for quite a long time while out with RH today. After re-reading the info, co-ords in and away we went. Easy find even though RH made a rude remark about Lomandras (not again!). Signed Log and decided to leave Granny Man TB to have a game of the old people's game nearby. Enjoy and TFTC.

Didnt find it , hard directions to follow , recent work done to park .

Out this afternoon with Mrs Ant and geobub, this was the last one our list and close to a place we have both spent a lot of time over the years.

Had a nice stroll along the path and located the cache after a short search at 5:09pm.

TFTC

Out this afternoon with Ant24 and geobub. A nice easy find.


TFTC

Only a few spiders around today – most of the webs have been destroyed. Took some time to locate but there are times when rummaging in the bushes helps.
TFTC

No Luck will Try another day.

Tried a few spots lotsa spiders no cache

A nice quick find after the GPS has settled... While settling though, it had me walking directly through all those spider webs while the owners were home... No shortage of them for quite a small area...

I circled around the area for a couple of minutes before I spotted the cache.

Cheers Taylor Crew.

OH YUK Lots of SPIDERS everywhere, Hard get thought to cache... Now I got cache OH PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate Spiders..............

Went past this on the way up the creek looking for another cache. Lucky for me this one was a easy location on my return journey

Found after dodging a few spiders!! TFTC Taylor Crew

found at 2pm after looking in the wrong spot from a few minutes

TFTC thedunns24

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 12 noon. The co-ords were absolutely spot on so the cache was easily found. TFTC

Found it after 2nd attempt which I didnt bring information first place.
Ewwww big spiders !!!!!
Felt bit weird when look around.
Glad its over and move on.
thanks for the cache and hunting

could not find it - quite sure I was looking in the right area but no joy

Well I had a cracker jack time riding me pushbike past the koalas to find me a cache
Riding along the path way made the math a bit more difficult as each crack in the concrete produces two bumps, one from each wheel.
So I had to multiply by two and then two again so that I could count the bumps.
Good job I had square wheels on the bike today
Cache was a noice easy find thanks to a bit of help from the spiders
TFTC.

Found on second attempt.

Using L&L method with my hiking pole to locate the cache.

Those webs are huge.

I'm sure that I was in the right area as you could see where others have been searching.

Spiders webs everywhere . I think the spiders have hidded the cache.

Arrived about 12:45pm to find a cache hidden in a garden . I always have trouble with these things. Found a suitable poking stick and proceeded to aerate said garden. To my surprise, I heard the distinctive sound of a cache being poked and quickly grabbed it. TN/LN/SL and re-hid it. All this without disturbing the big spider-web, right above the cache .

Towards the end of a successful afternoon caching after an appointment in Annerley. I saw the relevance of the name, but that didn't help me get the cache. Very big spiders to look out for, and at GZ I poked around and disturbed an ants' nest. Had to move away quickly from big ants. I checked co-ordinates with Magellan as well as my phone but still no luck where I thought it should be. Also, GZ I found was nowhere near the path so hint was no help to me there.

It is so much easier to look inconspicuous when you have kids on this type of hunt. Unfortunately I did this one on the way home from work so the kids were not with me, and I felt really exposed doing this one. It took a bit to find too, eventually though the cache was in hand and the log signed. TNLNSL TFTC

We tried to find this one yesterday but only had the listed co-ords and half the hint. There was a bare foot bowls function in full swing across the road.

Needless to say we didn't find the cache yesterday and could work out why. Came home to read the listing and realised why.

Today we went to the other co-ords and found the cache quickly.

TFTC

I was preparing for a differet kind of mission when I got the email about this cache. It was sort of in the direction I was heading so I thought what the heck, grabbed the GPSr and headed off. I arrived at the GZ carpark and`found myself under the watchful eyes of the nearby crowd so I adjusted my plan of attack - sorry, no crack counting today!!!!

The cache was partially uncovered so was easy to spot. It was being guarded by a couple of very big spiders with their big sticky webs but I was careful not to get caught in their trap. I grabbed the cache, opened it up to retrieve the log book and was to pleased to find......................blank pages [:0] Yay FTF!!!!!

Thanks for the cache. I replaced it and gave it a bit more cover.
