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 28 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 28 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.

See log.

Maybe I should read the logs first....again
It did not take too long to fine the cache as it was out in the open.
Everything a soggy, manky mess and full of water...again.
I have dumped the lot.
Owner has not logged in for awhile over 18 months.
Archive it.

THE CACHE IS NO LONGER THERE!

This needs archived unless a local is going to take it on. Cache leaking and log sodden. Owner hasn't been on line for over 16 months.

That is one amazing place for a picnic table. What a waste. Cache still full of water and log only good now for paper mâché.

Out for a few caches today and this one was on the hit list. Found a park and the park then headed for GZ. Passed a couple of footy fan muggles on the way but a nicely placed bank covered me well. Man the ground is wet today. Headed into the bush. Found a couple of picnic tables that have long been over grown. Pity. On to GZ for another find which wasn't nice. This cache is in dire need of a replacement. Container was full to the top with water and the smell coming out of it once the lid was popped was terrible. Drained water but unable to sign log. took some photos. I'd say the plastic toys would be the only survivors in this one. Lid was on but i guess it leaks. Thanks for a good hide though.

Time for a new one.

TFTC
Needs a new little maintenance

Good hide log book very wet sore now scrachers on my legs

TFTCSL needs dry log, did not have anything with me today! Kookaburras all laughing at me for missing it before!!

Found by the Morton's and the Battys.

Whoop Leah josh broc and Katie found this whoop

Well, I decided to have a go at this one while taking the dog for a walk this afternoon. Once I hit the park and started making my way to GZ I noticed a family coming in from the other direction. With the geomum and geodad both looking at their phones and making a line for the same place I was going I new what was going on.

I have always read about people bumping into other geocachers on the trail but never done it myself. I now see why it is such a nice thing to happen. After a quick chat geomum offered to hold the (very badly behaved) geodog while i went in for a look with geodad.

After reading all the recent logs i decided to make my way for the obvious spot and then look around from there. As the phone hit the magical zero I looked around and to my surprise had the cache within reach.

The coordinates and hint both worked a treat.

Giving this one a favourite point more for the experience than the cache itself.

A very enjoyable find. TFTC

Geo Girls were busy and Geo Mum & I just had to get out of the house and the rain wasn't going to stop us.

We still had a few ones within reasonable distance from home so they were the natural choice.

We decided to take the long route to GZ as the field was very wet from the rain, which had now stopped.

As we got closer we wondered if the path was taking a sharp bend around or if in fact we had to head into the jungle.

It was then that we spotted a picnic table, how strange, why would they have put it there, but it definitely looked as if GZ was close behind it so in we went.

We didn't have a slasher with us so we wound around a less vegetated route.

Geo Mum was firing on all cylinders and spotted the prize very quickly.

The contents were very wet including the log book.

We studied the contents and decided on a swap.

Thanks Indiana 'n' Jones TFTC SL TSLS

Found at last. Soooo glad to mark this one off my list. NEEDS a new log book. very very wet.

Took us forever luckily we had bubblegum14 with us thanks. Needs new log. And not sure if been moved.

Where's Captain Terror and his machete when you need him? Fought our way through the jungle ( don't you just love those prickly vines) passing the almost completely plant covered picnic tables and began our search. Finally located the cache but it was so mouldy and manky we couldnt sign the log. Why would anyone put in picnic tables and then not maintain the area?? A real pity.

Strangest thing I've seen in a while, those picnic tables. I think the cache has moved a few metres as it didn't correspond to the hint in the slightest and was in what I'd consider an unlikely spot for a cache. It was also guarded by a large, red huntsman spider. I hurt my knee trying to get far enough away . Lots of prickly vines and obscured holes, take care when venturing in. TFTC, Indiana_'n'_Jones. =^.^=

How odd a picnic table in the middle of the bush ??????

With all this rain and plants (Prickly ones) growing madly and my iPhone all over the place I just couldn't find it.

Maybe next time when in the area.

A good cache at a big park. TFTC

Walked across the footy field to the picnic seats in the middle of nowhere. Found the cache in good condition. TFTC Indiana'n'Jones

Grandaughter grabed a swappable but I didn't have one for return so will have to revisit this one soon to replace item

How could a full sized Aussie rules field be so well hidden? This is a beautiful piece of Pac Pines even if GZ has been forgotten by the council. Dropped in Val's Caching Hazards coin.

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.

Gaz'n'Kab and I parked near the path leading towards the cache and soon were walking along the football fields here. We noticed it was a square field with AFL posts though. Down to the cache and it seemed odd to me that this lovely little spot would have had money spent on it, but then fenced off and neglected. Soon I had the cache in hand, which also needed a bit of love, fair bit of dirt caught in the clip seals which I cleaned off before rehiding. TFTC.

We parked nearby, and ventured off towards GZ The area is looking quite nice, however down by the cache is very neglected The area would be very nice if it was maintained, however at least there was a cache for us to find

Always love finding larger one's

Found a good entrance and trundled off to GZ. The cache was quite exposed so it was found quickly. Not too many people around today. Thanks Indiana_'n'_Jones

IS cache still there?

Bushland very overgrown, didn't risk it loAds of ants!!

Found at 1329. A quick find with a seat near by tosit down and sign the log. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.

It pays to trust your instincts and not your TomTom at times. I found some suitable parking and made my way along the path to GZ. Hmm.. in there, eh? Initially, I came up with nada. Checked the logs. A previous DNF. Hmmm I decided to widen the search a little.. thankfully I came up with the well hidden beast. I am not sure if something has happened at GZ - but man that cache was stuck in its home tight! I nearly had to dig the blighter out. The cache was in good condition. They are still doing work on the nearby tables - nothing like a speedy council. TFTC Indiana_'n'_Jones

Area is overgrown and riddled with spider webs. Looked everywhere, no luck.

Unfortunately locating this was a little bit hazardous as park area in which cache was hidden was very over grown and we were very wary of searching incase of snakes
Council workers mowing the oval ashame they do not tidy up the actual park/picnic area
When signing log noted that chidren had discovered this one recently signed it and returned it to its hiding spot
This was our 2nd attempt at this one last time geo hubby busy catching up with friends at the Coomera pub so searched on my own
Who said 4 eyes are better that 2 is correct
Tftc
Merry Xmas and a great caching 2011

The SatNav tried to take me over the other side and wanted me to bush bach to GZ, across the creek... Thinking better of it, I repositioned myself foe a better start and wanderred over much flatter and friendlier terrain... [^]

I found GZ ok and once there, there were few hidey holes in the area. So, the cache was in hand quickly...

I grabbed the resident TB to move it along.

Cheers Indiana_'n'_Jones

Found with Bedmaker. An enjoyable walk to GZ in a lovely little park. TFTC

Found with TassieGirl13, an enjoyable short walk over to this.
Found it right where the GPS pointed.
TFTC.

I enjoyed driving around the area watching all the Trick or Treating going on and it was getting pretty dark when I parked for the hunt.

On checking the GPS I found that I probably cound have parked in an easier location but I found a trck which led me through a couple of water crossings before I arrived at the location.

Luckily I didn't need to pull out my torch as I found it straight away.

Dropped off Horst the Sheep TB and then returned the way I came.

TFTC.

East Track to GZ... hide well.....

Quick, easy find as an intro for friends. Took bead, left remember the 29 geocoin.

It was getting a bit late, so we trusted "Karen" ... always a bad plan of course, but she dutifully took us to the closest bit of bitumen. We then trekked along a bit of a track, down a bit of a hill, over a bit of a creek, along another bit of a track and came to GZ. Oh look, there's the park and wouldn't that have been an easier approach ? Well, it was an enjoyable walk and we were serenaded by hundreds of sulphur-crested cockatoos while we signed the log. Serenaded? ... well I guess it's not quite music, but it's a sound we don't grow tired of. Cache was an easy find. I happened to see an unnaturally placed piece of bark and the cache was behind it [^]. Sometimes you got it, sometimes you don't got it . TN/LN/SL/TFTC.

Found on dusk as a huge flock of sulpha crested cockatoos were roosting in the magnificently tall straight gumtrees. What a lovely park. Wattle trees blooming everywhere.This would be a nice place to come back to explore some more. TFTC and bringing us to this area.

Found it No. 2924 ... great park ... TNLN TFTC

had no luck today and there was not too many muggels either.

It took us a few laps around before we finally opened our caching eyes to spot the prize. TFTC

Walked up from Coin Cache to this one but wouldn't you know it about 4 young muggles right in the area searching for something. We casually asked what they were looking for thinking they might have been cacheing but no they had a blue with one of their mates and he had thrown one of their thongs in right were the cache was. We helped in that search and when they left grabbed the cache and signed the log. Left a pig [they like these sort of spots.]and took a candle. Tfth.

Nice quiet spot today. TFTC TNLNSL

Wow, I didn't even know that field existed! There was some sport happening on the nearby field but the area around the cache was out of sight. Spent a little while looking around until we noticed we'd gone straight past the cache. Thanks for the great cache Indiana_'n'_Jones.

Thought a Monday morning trip to the cache would be easy, didn't plan to tangle with the two grounds keepers who spent the morning talking while sitting at the picnic tables. Yes had to return later to find them still talking but up at the tables further away. TFTC Took TB

Easy find. Dropped off 3 TB's SL TFTC

After 3hrs of working on my GPS getting it back up and running I needed to take it out for a field test, picked up Mr Gap & swung past on the way home - thankfully I had packed a couple of torches to light the way Happy to report that the GPS did the right thing & the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC

Ms Wig had just reset her GPS, so decided to go do a cache for a test run, and this one was quite handy.

The GPS did the right thing and in the fading light, found the cache quite easily.


Thanks Indiana_'n'_Jones an enjoyable stroll too

Great find, found by one of our geokids after explaining what the clue probably meant. T - Elephant, L - Pittsburgh Pooh 2 TB

Well Done Indiana 'n' Jones on your first cache. It has taken me a few weeks but I was in the area doing another cache so I had to track it down.

It's a nice spot and relatively muggle free on a Saturday arvo.

TFTC. I was suprised to find a trackable item in the cache so I grabbed the Winnie the Poo TB and left some cache dwelling frogs.

We decided to create this cache because we were having trouble finding any regular-sized caches in our area to house a TB we picked up a few week's back. So now he has a home

Well, seems to me I could very cheekily claim FTF as Herbz STILL hasn't logged his find on this cache. But I won't of course. His stamp is in the log book, darn it. I saw this cache had been published, but not until late this afternoon. We shot out there as it was getting dark. Spent too long searching as the gps wanted us, for a while, at the other end. Searched and searched. Could hardly see with a poor torch and the dim light from my mobile phone. Just about to give up when we found it. Nice hide. Why we didn't see it as soon as we got there I'll never know. Oh well. Then, opened it up only to find Herbz had been there already and THIS MORNING!. So we are claiming 2nd TF.
Took: TB - owl and purse
Left: 2 rings, bangle and a cute elephant.
Thanks for the new cache Indiana_'n'_Jones.

FTF - woohoo.
This popped up just as I was about to head out to a job nearby. So it just had to be done. Had to wait a while for a council worker to finish tying some baby trees up but once he had gone the prize was soon in hand.
Lovely spot which I hadn't been to before.

I originally logged this immediately on the iPhone, but it appears my orignal log got lost in Appleland somewhere as it never appeared on the cache page. Thanks to Aussie Leahona for pointing this out (I think she found it shortly after me) so I could log the visit and claim the FTF. TFTC
