Sadly time to archive this one, there are many who dont understand how this works

Took the stroll from the nearby multi to this cache passing many horse paddocks. Unfortunately the cache had come away from its holding spot. Signed log and returned to BOT. Thanks Pigwig2.

Went prepared as per the description with joojoo57 and on arrival at GZ we didn't need to use anything we bought with us to access the log book as the container was already adrift and just laying in the soil.
It was an enjoyable walk today seeing several horses in their flash new stables and lush green paddocks, beaut location to visit.
Thanks Pigwig2 for the clever cache setup, a favorite point from me and TFTC

TFTC

Was sure we logged this one over a year ago!? Its now one of our favourite spots and weve been going down ever since, especially after rain its amazing! Its our dog's fave spot to sniff and splash and run!

Remember the water! We forgot and had to go back to the car. Dang! Tftc

Out with lisylou, bennyboppers, jemillalucy and mnance101 for the Monday trek. Ah, water. Yes that makes sense. Looked like eons of water had passed by here. You will know when you see what I mean. We were dry so no water but performed a bit of magic levitation to get at the log.

Oh yes we forgot the water, a couple of us went back to get their pack from the car which had water but by the time they got back we had managed to get the cache out anyhow. Nice area around here. Tftc

Out caching with Jemillalucy, Bennyboppers, Remsjw and Lisylou. A bit tricky to get it out but Remsjw did. TFTC!

Grabbed this one with lisylou jemilalucy mnance101 and remsjw today. We managed to retrieve without water

This was a very beautiful spot. Miss Eloise loved seeing the pony and horses when we pulled up. It was so nice there that we decided to stop and have our morning tea after we found the cache. Thankfully Mr EMC had read the cache description before he left home so he was prepared with the necessary equipment. Happy Mother's Day to the mums out there....Our first cache on a fun day out.

Too many twin trees to look for. found it in the end.

Nice hide. Love it.

TFTC

Was really thirsty looking for this one! Yes--definitely needed the water!! TFTC! Very Clever!!

Nice easy find, definitely needed some liquid when I arrived TFTC

Out with RoddyC for our Wednesday feast of caches.
I know the cacher that this is dedicated to.
Nice lady and her partner also.
We have met up and even cached together.
I have had a lot of experience with these type of caches and my big bottle of water is sitting in the geomobile back at RoddyC place.
Have to make do with something else.
Mrs RoddyC produced a magnetic wand.
abracadabra 3 times and out you come. Lot of patience but got there in the end.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Pigwig2 All good with this cache

Hey - placed 14/10 found 14/10. Whoohoo! Another one down for the Anniversary Challenge!!

We parked on the upside of the bridge and walked down through the green grass to the corner, then across the creek which was stone dry today (thankfully), then Mrs RoddyC found the cache. Oh no! How do you get it out?? A quick re-read of the Description led to Oh-Nos all round . No water. No nearby containers anyway.

Mrs RoddyC as ever, had her 'bum-bag' on and inside was a magnetic tool remover. Would this work? No - it's not magnetic. But Team Benders was not to be denied, and managed to somehow wiggle the inner cache up to the top, and after several attempts got the beasty out!

After signings, we walked back out through the OTHER park, and across the bridge back up to the GeoFalcon.

Found at 12.30pm on 14th October 2015 TFTC.

Loved it and enjoyed the run back to the car.

Great to find another local park to explore. An azure kingfisher plopped into the creek just as I arrived. Tftc

Love these ones tftc

Making my way across the park, I soon wandered into this amazing little spot. Everything was so green and fresh and the water was flowing, making for such a wonderful location. With plenty of all things that were required on hand, it was a quick retrieval for me today. There was a temporary log with limited room remaining, so I put in a new log to save maintenance needing to be performed. Hopefully that is okay. Thanks Pigwig2 for a wonderful cache.

Found it bit hard as no reception for me here!!! Finally found. Wet log replaced log and shut bag properly love these caches!!
Loved looking at the nearby horesrs and being jealous.
Attached is pick for people with no reception.
Owner will contact you about old log

Last stop for the day and I could hardly say no to taking a look considering I was already parked not 170m away. So I took a wander through the park and soon was in range of GZ.

I took a little look around and could not really see anything where I was standing, but soon took a little bit of a relocation to better suit where the GPSr wanted me and soon I had a cache in sight. Only that is where my heart sunk. Maybe I really need to do a little bit more reading of logs before setting out on adventures.

So I arrived at the cache with but two of the four suggested items, I had a pen and good footware. I must admit that I very much wished I had brought water and mossie repellant, but alas that meant a trip back to the car.

Anyway once I was sorted the container was retrieved and the log signed, it is quite a fragile log, but still in tact. I got things back in place and headed to the car, to make the journey back north towards home.

TFTC

A great spot no luck today

Nicely hidden cache found without too much of a search. Log was a bit wet and starting to disintegrate. TFTC.

Found It.

Out and about on a bit if an unplanned run.... Had with me my 9 to Jasmine and 7 yo twins James and Jemma. 15 found, but a few really good caches in that mix. We even got chased by two huge dogs at one particular cache... Thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches.

Top spot for a cache and well designed. Got it in the rain... TFTC.

I had my eye on this one for a while...as well as other Pigwig caches including Shackled and Up the Creek. I set off in the direction of the cache and found myself alongside a creek. I was at the GZ but couldn't see anything obvious, until I broadened my search a little and then haha! there it was...nice construction for the hide TFTC.

A great cache. Just about as we were going to go Geo dad saw the cleverly hidden cache good thing Loki.r79 was there to save the day with a cool drink. thanks for the cache Pigwig2

Gave this one some TLC, Please don't try to remove.

What a lovely little park. This area is a bit of a hidden secret. GeoDad had his Geo senses in fine tune despite the GPSr going all over the place. Cache is in need of repair though...TFTC Pigwig2 !

Yew!! Found it!! How beautiful is this spot. Very happy!!
Might want to replace the paper log as its a bit damp!

I spent way too long looking for twin trees only to find that they are not identical twins. We had fun in the beautiful clean water, me with my bottle and my dog swimming. Thanks Pigwig2.

Today I was on a mission to find eight caches as I was going on a big hike to a long lost unloved cache on Saturday. I am hoping to make that find a nice round number.
Number 3 of 8.

I parked at the nearby car park and walked in across the park following footprints in the dewy grass. Another cacher [?] No sign of the mysterious person but I did find the cache after a bit of a search.

Then the fun started. I had parked off the road on the short, steep entrance. Now I could not reverse UP the dewy grass. I managed to turn the car sideways with about a 20 point turn and then headed along the fence line gathering speed and climbed the embankment further up the road......JUST.

Thanks for the cache.

I'v driven past this spot a few times but never given much thought to what was beyond the picnic table. I stepped into the bush from the main park area and was amazed at the sight in front of me. The creek was crystal clear and slowly flowing through the rocks and the exposed roots of the trees on the opposite bank. This would be a great spot to swim on a hot summers day. No mozzies here today just birds flying around and singing. If I had a couple of brewskis and a good book I could stay here all day. Thanks for showing me the back ground of this park pigwig. Whoops I nearly forgot, i signed the log sheet after retrieving it from another great cache hide.

Having had some wet weather, this cache seemed appropriate for Nyssaflutterby, Net88, membsec and myself to tackle today. We wandered in along the grass, very green after the rain. Naturally when we arrived we found ourselves on the wrong side of the creek. Nyssa and I were both barefoot anyways so headed across the creek. I'm guessing it is not always flowing, but it was pouring past quite nicely today.

Once across the other side we began the hunt. I went this way, Nyssa that way. I soon spotted the cache and extracted a logbook. It was while the logbook was being signed I realised that I think the cache is broken and not meant to easily come free of it's holder. Replaced all as found and yep, I see what is meant to happen here. Always love that type of cache and plenty of water around for it today. TFTC Pigwig

As for Tassiegirl13, I've always thought of her as the quiet achiever. It is great to have her along on some of the long hikes we do, good company.

Found this cache during a very mosquito covered day with Nyssaflutterby, Membsec and Captain Terror. This seems to be the closest area to Brisbane that the four of us all have unfound caches in. Yet another cache with both water and mosquitos... What else could we expect in this area after all the rain we had lately. We got to GZ and sent in Nyssaflutterby and Captain Terror to do the hard work when Membsec and I guarded the valuables as we watched and directed the others. Thanks for the cache Pigwig

Out on a crazy caching mission with membsec, Net88 and Captain Terror. On reaching close to GZ it became apparent that we were on the wrong side of the creek.... again! But never fear, for I was already well dressed for the occassion having put on swimwear at the last cache we were at. Plus no shoes always helps to. At least the depth of water here was not as high as the past cache, only just above the ankle. A bit of a hop, step and stumble later I was across the creek, followed by the Captain. I went one way, he the other. The Captain had the cache spotted easily after a few moments and the logbook retrieved post haste.

TFTC Pigwig2

Out and about with Nyssaflutterby, net88 and the Captain. Hard to find caches that none of us have done but this was one. Once again we were on the wrong side of the creek so we had to venture across the creek. We are getting used to this now, and we don't have to remove any shoes because we don't have them on anymore. Nyssa and Captain Terror did the responsible thing and found the cache. Great area, although there was a road work group at the roadside who asked us if we were looking for a horse, of course not!!!

TFTC

Cool cache you should of added more holes in it though. We were looking in the wrong place when we first arrive we thought it would be by the stream also had a hard time finding parking.TFTC

After a not so successful day it was good to find this cache. The log is very damp.

Visited this one today and indeed was in need of a quick repair lucky I had all I required cache is all good to go

We were in the area with a container but no water but we decided to give this a go on the off chance there was water nearby. A nice easy walk and find. It appears this cache doesn't have to work in the original way any more as some parts are loose. TFTC Pigwig2

We where in the area and after working out what needed to be done headed over only to find we where not carrying much water . A check of the creek and we found a small puddle in an otherwise dry creek bed. With the back up we soon had the cache popping up into our hands and then signed the log before replacing the hid. TFTC

I wandered over from a certain nearby cache, carrying an empty water bottle (I had no H20 or other liquids at all) but luckily there was a decent sized puddle not far away for me to utilise.
This is the third time I've attempted this kind of cache: the first turned out to have been muggled; the second I failed spectacularly. Today I'm pleased to say I made it through (admittedly on the second attempt!)
It's a great setup and although it's taken a bit of wear and tear, it looks secure. TFTC and the opportunity to get this type off my back!

Found this with a little hunting very well hidden in a great location. The park is beautiful and the area is very relaxing. Nice work Pigwig2.

I don't often read descriptions before I set out. Glad I did for this one. Left home with the necessary tools for the jon. Yeah, had to walk around to keep my precious feet dry

WOW! We had just found both "How's The Hair Bro" and "1 4 Herbz" so we were running HOT!!

This was a lovely walk through a lovely park that I reckon would get much better used with a bit of play equipment in it.

This "was a walk in the park" LOL compared to the previous 2 and with prior knowledge of this type of cache we had come armed and ready to access it.

Thanks Pigwig You just don't stop putting out the creative ones do you.

We stopped at the picnic table on the way back and was that a reserve supply of cache accessing material I spyed there?

Ta Ms Wig TFTC SL

Beautiful picknick area here. Could be a perfect campground for our motorhome, unfortunately there the gate is blocked off. Up to GZ with all required ingredients. Ahso, have seen some similars before so was pretty easy but always good fun! Thanks for the nice spot again and TFTC Pigwig2.

Went to the wrong side at first but then realized and walked around! Was fun thx!!!

7/02/12 Find #744

We were nearby today and noticed this one on the list. We were able to utilize the nearby water
source for our supply of water. Unfortunately the repellant was nowhere nearby.

The cache was in hand quickly.
TFTC - nicely done

Nearly didn't see this one as we were so focused on the nearby puzzle cache. Glad we noticed in time and made a quick grab. TFTC

Should have read the instructions before trying this one. But as I say when all else fails then read the instructions. Not a drop of water here. Well I had seen monkeys get at things like this. So I copied as best I could and retrieved the cache. The log was a bit damp.

Thanks for a real interesting cache.
Love your stuff Pigwig2

Found with Stairman1 and geodog. Decided to grab a few of Pigwig's caches while down here. Without reading the instructions, we arrived at the GZ less the water . Sadly the creek was dry and the only water Stairman1 could supply had been flushed down the toilet earlier in the day . So he improvised and the container was soon in hand. . Thanks Pigwig,

The owner accompanied me to this great area. Took a litre bottle planning to fill up at the creek but the creek was empty A close inspection of the clever cache revealed it needed some maintenance so PW2 took the container with her and I was able to extract and sign the log without water. Lesson to future seekers, take water with you, don't rely on on-site supply. TFTC pigwig2

How much do we love your caches PigWig? Let us count the ways!! Oh what a brilliant place - some caches are so enjoyable because they bring you to beautiful spots - this one is less than 10 minutes from our house and we never knew it existed. We will definitively be back with a picnic one day though.

This was a great park and find - we strolled and hubby found it without too much trouble. I had overshot the mark and was traipsing across the stream! We'd bought the water as instructed although one could just take a container and at most times of the year there'd be water nearby to use.

This cache ticks so many boxes from the beauty of its location, its abscence of muggles, the cleverness of its construction and once again to the time and thought that you put into it. Such great work - many many thanks PigWig.

Will upload many pics taken around there - it was so idyllic....

What a peaceful area, not another soul insight.
We soon came to GZ and saw the cache, after doing one like this last weekend I knew exactly what I had to do. So I got to it and before long had signed the log and replaced it into it's safe spot. Good idea about the insect repellent!
Wasn't too sure what the letter was all about though?
TFTC

First one! Woo Hoo!!

This was cause to celebrate for team Geckomaster was about to find their 300th cache Armed with the essentials we headed off. What a great area it is too.
Once we got our fill the cache was soon extracted . Nice work!!! TFTC

Another good quick find

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 9:42am. It was easy to find GZ but not that easy to get at the cache. It was very quiet round this area at this time of morning. TFTC

Oh this was nasty. Just one more trick up your sleeve than you weren't willing to reveal hey PigWig. This is how it goes...

1 litre of water (Nope, but I can get that on site... All good)
Pen/Pencil (Yep)
Mozzie Spray (Applied)
Good footware (Yep)

Err... Forget anything else that we might need PigWig...

I made it to GZ and commenced the cache extraction process. That's when I realised I needed something else... Lucky I had just the thing in the Gunniemobile so was able to overcome the shortfall. Either that or I needed to morph myself into inspector gadget... Once armed, cache retrieval was a whole lot easier... [^]

A nice spot down here. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The cache is just a little nasty though. Not at all like TassieGirl13...

Cheers PigWig2.

I didn't read the cache description until I found the cache.

I didn't have any tools on me but luckily the car wasn't far away so I returned with the equipment and soon had it open. Thanks for an interesting cache and a lovely spot to find a cache.

Came with container in tow, so we could use the local stream as our water source. Very clever cache, although Camo could use touching up which made it easier to spot than intended I'm guessing.

Was prepared for another struggle to find this pigwig cache but it quickly revealed itself. Now to extract the log. Used a a bit of local equipment to extract. signed log and returned safe and sound. TFTC TNLN

Another devious little pigwig cache. Was able to extract the log book OK.

This is a great spot, I really enjoyed looking at the maze of the exposed roots on the creek bend and the big vine swing.

Thanks Ms Wig for bringing me here

A beaut spot for a stroll and some peaceful reflection down by the creek [^]
Somewhere in my wanderings I finally saw the cache, or at least the hiding spot
It seemed I was missing some vital supplies though.
Who needs mozzie spray ? I'm tough
However it was something else that might have come in useful
Fortunately the construction of the cache lent itself to another extraction method involving a bit of the surrounding vegetation
I am so smart !, I am so smart !...S, M, R, T

What an enormous park.Great place for extreme frisbee.
TFTC

Admired your creative the camo - very excellent one. With ALL7. SL. Thanks Pigwig2.

Accompanied Everlasting, wow good one hide as amazing cache.. very hide well... thanks

We enjoyed the drive from nearby "Birds..." cache, all the jacarandas were in full bloom making an impressive display in this lovely valley. We parked as close as we could and headed off along the creek following the arrow. The cache was soon found but we realised we hadn't read the instructions properly and lacked the appropriate asset. Mr Herbz was tempted to use some he was carrying with him but thought better of it as the next finders might not appreciate these tactics. So we started using our hands to ferry handfuls of the asset to the cache from the nearby creek. But we would have been carried off by the mozzies before we accomplished this task. So Mrs Herbz returned to the car to obtain an asset transportation device. Log was then soon to hand and signed. Enjoyed this one Pigwig. A well recommend cache. TFTC.

Found today with Mrs Lat&Long. We had the cache owner and her accomplice along as well, so cache was extracted with minimal effort. What a clever cache creater your are 'pigwig2' [^]. Signed the log and set off to explore the creek. Lots of lovely clear water to see and quite a bit of flood erosion to marvel at. I can see a few cachers having a dip in here when summer arrives. It looked inviting today and it wasn't even hot.

What a lovely spot for a picnic. A man was enjoying some time with his 3 doggies. They were having a wonderful time swimming for sticks the owner had thrown in. The cattle dog was swimming after rocks!!! Not diving for them, just swimming in their general direction then swimming back for the next one. The water was so clear you could see the dog's legs paddling. All dogs had a ball! [^]

Anyway, the cache...well, that was good - we have seen one similar but still enjoyed the cache.
While here, take time to have a look at the creek and the amazing tree roots that have been left exposed by water and the vines growing high in the trees.

SL TN LN and swatting another 1,000,000 mozzies [xx(].

On the walk back to the car we spotted a flock of 8 yellow tailed black cockatoos land int he nearby silky oak tree to feast on the flowers [^].

TFTC again Ms Wig. We did enjoy our little adventure.

P.S. Bad Mr Herbz. no biscuit for you tonight!

Fangsoki was down on the coast for a visit so we decided to go have a look at some interesting sounding new caches in this area. (and were not disappointed.... Well done Pigwig2 there are some clever caches in this little area)

We actually read the instructions before leaving the car (wonders will never cease) and good old "Packhorse Radnoski" filled his pockets with the necessary extraction equipment.

The caches was retrieved and log was signed. (with some "extraction equipment" to spare)

TFTC Pigwig2. TNLNSL Well done, another clever cache.

I had eyed Radnoski carrying around 2 bottles of water. I thought they were for when we got parched searching for Pigwig2 caches But apparently they were for this cache I was informed. Lucky someone had read the description! We parked and made our way to GZ. Radnoski came up with this one and we did what was required. After a bit of team effort, the cache was in hand. TFTC Pigwig2 - this was an ingenious little setup

This cache idea is expanding! TFTC Pigwig2

had to do a quick run to the creek..after that easy find TFTC

I was on a Clean Up PigWig Caches mission today. This one worked fine once I played the Little Dutch Boy and put my finger in the dike. The creek presented no problems. Mossie spray applied liberally. Lovely spot to visit, so green after all the rain. Thanks again PigWig for another well-thought-out cache.

TassieGirl heard that this cache was out there and was eager to find it.
First thing this morning we headed off in search.
After a bit of twisting and turning and visiting this area again we arrived by a nice little creek.
Off we set on foot for the last 100 meters. As it was TG's cache she had the honours with the find.
Ah PigWig I like your evil mind, what a great idea for a cache.
Another interesting find near the picnic tables was sensitive plants, if you can find them you'll have a bit of fun.
TFTC.

What a great spot (after applying spay!) - saw a few horses passing by. Great cache - always enjoy ones not seen before. Thanks Pigwig2!!

I was very surprised and very excited when I heard about this one. I didn't have a chance to find it until today so Bedmaker and I took off for this one as the first on our list. This is such a gorgeous area and we had a beautiful sunny morning to walk to GZ. Very cool cache, loved the retrieval method! On our walk back we discovered some Mimosa Pudica plants so stopped to have a bit of a play. Thanks for the dedication cache Pigwig2!

Saw this one come up last night, and if I wasn't so tired, and it hadn't already been about 11:30pm when I saw it, I probably would have been out there then. But it wasn't to be. I had a commitment this morning and so went out after that to be totally surprized to get a FTF at about 12:15pm. Had a nice little walk and a nice little paddle, found the cache, took care of the necessities, opened the cache and signed the log. Woo Hoo! Thanks for this fun cache Pigwig2. And for showing me this pretty stream. Good thing I was in crocs. Oohhh! Nearly forgot: Thanks for placing this cache which is our 800th find!
