Whilst Luke looked in the obvious (and wrong) pleaces, Kerry mad a quick find. Log is completely full.

This was the only cache found on this trip.

Thanks [Blue]Eco & Rev[/Blue], for showing us this place. Smile

Out caching with fb03 grabbing a few caches in the area. Made a nice quick find here. TFTC Eco & Rev
 
03-Oct-15
I managed to squeeze my signature between previous ones (I have a pen with a fine point), but log is full and needs to be replaced.
 
03-Oct-15
A slow start looking for this one because I misread the description, l confused it with an adjacent cache. After sorting this out, and dealing with major blood loss from a bird swoop injury SmileSmile , the cache was soon in hand. Found with Lac6060 and RainbowLlama. TFTC Echo & Rev
 
27-Sep-15
Third time lucky. Log needs replacing could not sign it. TYFTC.

Game of Patience indeed....
This cache marks 365 days in a row for us, and is very satisfying to have found. My wife and kids have had a LOT of patience with my hobby (read obsession) over the past 12 months, so very fitting name for the milestone. And it has been a team effort, for without some of the finds they have made, we would not have got here. And the kids only have about 100 to go to also achieve the milestone.
TFTC Eco & Rev. Cheers!
 
05-Sep-15
As we got out of the car we spotted a sign saying that there were swooping magpies in the area. We made our way to GZ with not a magpie in sight. Once there we made a quick find. The log is totally full so we were unable to sign the log. We have taken a picture to show we found the cache. TFTC.
 
25-Aug-15
Found Ok log full
 
15-Aug-15
Here for the geo dog and looked if something nearby. After being swooped a few times, we found it on the ground. Don't think it was supposed to be there. Needs a new log, a bit full! But signed and returned to logical original location, hopefully!
 
19-Jul-15
I would like to open with I am an idiot! Anyone would think that I have never found a cache before. It took me so long to locate the slippery little sucker. I even phoned a friend. Well more than one to be precise. I have used over half my phone battery. All I can say is being short sucks.
PS. The log needs replacing. I didn't have my gear, or I would have done it.

Nothing here was as it appeared. The "concrete" benches were made out plastic and the "wooden" structures were all made out of metal. Having worked out that a lot of the structures were new, I looked for something that had been around for a bit longer. Once I found that, I had the cache in hand. TFTC
 
27-May-15
Great hide Tftc!
 
cache #3190 No patience needed in finding the cache, as we walked straight up to it. A nice quick find. TFTC.

Today we explored Lawnton and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Another fine Autumn day for a drive around the northern Brisbane suburbs.

Visiting the nearby Westfields at Strathpine to do some shopping today so I headed a little further north to grab a few caches for the day.

The phone just couldn't make up it's mind which of two places it wanted to be in here so after searching several wrong areas it was time to step back and just have a good look around. I soon spotted it and was able to retrieve and replace it fairly easily.
 
29-Jan-15
Find #1414

Continuing to round up a few smilies while we have the chance to enjoy the northside. Smile
We are new to the area so hopefully we can pick up a few quick finds without getting lost too often. LOL ...
No patience needed today. We were lucky & spotted it as we approached. Our caching eye is definitely fine-tuned today.

Signed log & replaced as found.

Late log, tftc i loved this one because it was my very first find, everyone else was looking in the trees and i was on my own path and found it
 
22-Jan-15
Recovered and returned. Patience was not needed today as we found this quite quickly once I actually focused on looking. Haha. A beautiful park and an eclectic mix of equipment and games. Tftc.
 
10-Jan-15
I feel a great sense of victory with this find. I had been here twice and was looking in the wrong location, albeit just two steps away from where it really was. I came back and after honing in several times with the gps and having it lead me to three different locations, I decided to look right in the middle of the three points. And there it was, staring back at me! It was so cool to find a cache of this size. TFTC
 
09-Jan-15
Thanks for the hide. Your coordinates are spot on making this easier to find than I was expecting. All good with cache.
 
04-Jan-15
Well, we tried to be patient but we could not find anyway. Maybe another time.
 
30-Nov-14
Have been to the sporting grounds over the years and never knew this area and the board existed. TFTC
 
16-Nov-14
This would be my second attempt at this little sucker.

Appears that the gazebo has been removed since my last attempt. Looks like vandals may have attempted to start another fire with the composite tables.

This has nicely narrowed down the searching field and it wasnt long before I had the pin head of a cache in hand.

Signed the log and returned.

Thanks for the challenge Eco & Rev.

TFTC:) decent hide. Seeing a similarity between these 'smaller than micro's'.....
 
14-Nov-14
Starting to see a pattern with these extra-extra small caches, with tomorrow
 
08-Nov-14
Wasn't easy to find, but patients is a vertue.
 
01-Nov-14
Quick find TFTC
 
05-Oct-14
Gps had us in two spots. One for another day.
 
22-Sep-14
Camped at the showgrounds, and ventured out for a couple of hours of caching.

We have been past this one a few times, but was always deterred by muggles.
Passing again today, and found the park muggle free.
Our patience paid off, as we made a quick find.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Eco & Rev, for us and others to find.
 
20-Sep-14
Found with Liz and Bruce.

Happily we were out caching with one of our caching friends Urdera who we met on our first visit to Queensland some 8 years ago. Steve certainly hasn't lost his mojo even though he has not done much caching in the intervening years as he managed to find many of the caches we went to today. Nice hide, we enjoyed the search and find. [^][^] Thanks to Eco & Rev.
 
16-Sep-14
Second time visiting found in two seconds this time Smile. Couldn't get the log out though so will have to sign it another day.

Found on a brisk Saturday morning with not a chess player in sight. TFTC
 
02-Jul-14
Arrived into North Brisbane today, have set up the caravan at the showgrounds. Now its time to find a few caches.
We had a wonderful drive around the area, walked in some wonderful parklands. All the caches we found were well maintained, & good hints made for easy finds.

Thanks for the cache Smile
 
29-Jun-14
We came to the nearby sporting field this morning to watch one of my favourite little people from my class last year play footy. After yelling and clapping and high fiving we walked across the field to this nearby cache. Freddo located it quickly and signed the log. Satisfying end to a lovely morning with good friends [^] Tftc Eco & Rev!

Searched and searched. It started to rai so the small one wanted to leave...maybe next time
 
19-Mar-14
Tftc! This one has proved tricky a few times before, glad to finally get a smiley face on it!
 
27-Feb-14
Out for an evening stroll and sat down for a bit of a think, then up and about and the cache was soon spotted. TNLNSL TFTC Smile.
 
18-Jan-14
Excellent hide. Had to come back a second time to track it down! Gotcha! TFTC
 
10-Jan-14
Found it but didn't need much patience as there were no muggles around.
 
06-Jan-14
After a previous DNF we came back determined to find it today. And it was super easy to find! Thanks for a great cache.
 
28-Dec-13
Nice! I hate these ones so much that I love them. Found with W0o0DY. TFTC.
 
Had to turn on stealth mode for this one as there was a large family group gathered at the swings. They weren't taking any notice of me though so it was all good!!

TFTC
 
08-Dec-13
My first cache find! With help from whint Wink
 
05-Dec-13
Impressive little nano there. Log book still has room to sign on it so all is good with the cache. Found it just after the sun went down. TFTC
 
17-Nov-13
EAsy find with Wombles N Co today... took a seat to sign cache, returned as found and off to our next cache Smile

17-Nov-13
Whint spotted this one in an instant, no need for much patience today!
We wondered if this game gets much use?
tftc
 
05-Nov-13
After 3 attempts, we finally found it...yay!! Tftc
 
06-Oct-13
tftc
 
22-Sep-13
Finally found it, looking through the other logs helped. This is the smallest cache we have ever seen! Tftc!
 
21-Sep-13
And patience was the key in my case. I visit the area with my GeoKid every couple of weeks and have made attempts at finding this one. Finally found it today but didn't have a pen to log my visit. Well hidden.
 
28-Aug-13
Stopped by to pick up a couple of Bray Park caches this morning.

Had a bit of trouble getting the gps to settle on this one, but eventually came up with the goods.

Thanks Eco & Rev for the cache.
 
27-Aug-13
Nice quick find in deserted park. TFTC Smile
 
16-Aug-13
Checkmate! Was here last year in October and thwarted by a muggle mum across the road. Today, a simple grab and sign since I knew exactly where it was. Finally. Another souvenir for August. tftc Eco & Rev
 
26-Jul-13
Success! TFTC Smile
 
19-Jul-13
Dropped off a new log to replace the full one. All up and OK.
 
09-Jul-13
Both log sheets seem to be completely full.
TFTC!
 
17-Jun-13
Found it but the log is full so we couldnt sign it...hardest part of this cache is trying to roll the log back up Smile
 
16-Jun-13
Yay! Our first nano cache, a little tough at first but GPS saved us.
 
09-Jun-13
Wow, this one is small. But did not escape Rhino's magnetism. TFTC
 
23-May-13
I call this a pico cache, smaller than nano. Persistence and a bit of patience paid off on the end.

Thanks for the cache.

I really struggled to find space on the log to sign. Perhaps a replacement is due?
 
22-May-13
Parked Sooty close by and leapt out, with OrionJ heading towards GZ and me heading for the obvious spot for the hide. My cacher buddy wandered over and nabbed the nano Smile

We made a huge effort to keep the logbooks dry today, and sat in the shelter to work on this cache.

There is a lifesize chess board in Garema Place, Canberra. The huge game pieces can be obtained on request.

On we roll...

TFTC Iuzferunner and Eco & Rev Smile
