One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still 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 am 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 28 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 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

The cache "Mum and Dad" .
The "Needs Maintenance" log is now over 28 days old and there has been a further DNF since then. As the CO has not responded could a reviewer please temporarily disable the cache pending a response from the owner.

Hi there sniffme,

Your cache "Mum and Dad" was last found on 16/05/2015, 87 days ago, and has had 6 DNF's since that time..
Is there any chance you could do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and replace it if it isn't.
If that's not possible then please archive the cache so that the spot can be freed up for someone else to use.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Still missing

No idea.

Kojo and Tobo didn't find it. We hate ourselves.

We tried hard to find it but were hampered by the fact that a homeless person was using the area the clue pointed to as a place to store all of their gear. We couldn't look properly without moving the gear.

Homeless man sleeping in the park - we think he might have been near it! Have to head back when he's moved on!

Quick coffee and a look but nothing today. Local now, so will be back sometime soon.

So happy I found it tfth!!!

I've been recently caching a lot with Tdimdad and we had been planning some caches that would be possible to find before work, and this one popped up. I had been here a couple of times in lunch breaks to try and find it but had not been able to find it. He had also been here before, but only once and had not been able to find it. We decided to attack it together and turn it into a smiley. So after organising to catch the same bus, and arriving at GZ together we started our search. After looking up and down and around and around I finally spotted it. I can't believe I didn't see it before! Sneaky sneaky! TFTC!

This cache has eluded Sezzz and myself for some time so she suggested a new attempt. An early morning hunt took me to a different spot in this little park than my earlier visit - no wonder I had trouble finding this...

We went through the place inch by inch with nothing coming up. Sezzz changed tactics and it took only a short while before I heard the magical "Guess what...". She had visual, I tried the same with not much luck, but guided by her fished out this little beast.

The cache is your normal, middle-of-the-road one (well, not literally, luckily ) but the history and its significance in the development of Brisbane is a great reason to have a hide here. Thanks for bringing us here!

The logsheets will need replacement after perhaps 10 more visitors. But for now it's all good here. TFTC, Sniffme!

Walked all the way up the hill from my last find for this bad boy, only to find a homeless person asleep where the hint suggested the cache might be. He looked pretty cosy so I'll come back another day.

Found it after quite the search with peterwitcomb!
Tftc!!

Sneaky sneaky

I thought I would definitely find this cache even though I'm not very experienced, as I now this park well because my grandmother would take my siblings and I here so she could smoke. Their were title all over the ground back then that we would collected. Any way, I shall be back!

This was a bit of a nemesis cache for me. I had been here several times without luck. I had PAFfed whilst here, still with no luck. Then I mentioned this cache to another friend. When she was in the area recently, she decided to search for it. She found it surprisingly easy to find. When she told me this, I got some more info from here. today, I decided to head out at lunchtime and finally turn this into a smiley.
Once at GZ, I looked how she had said she looked. Sure enough, there was the cache!!!!! I am sure I looked that way before!!!!! I am sure I had felt there before!!!!! Never mind. this sneaky cahe is now a smiley on my map

I'd driven over to Red Hill today to put an ad for a laptop on the noticeboard at the Tafe only to discover that the Tafe here has been closed. That was annoying but I could still do some caches in the area so it wouldn't be a competely wasted trip. Then I discovered I'd left my phone at home!
Caching with a GPSr and the street directory isn't exactly relaxing but I wasn't going home without making a least a couple of finds in the area.

A friend had asked me to come with her sometime to have a look for this one as she's been here a few times but had no luck. When I saw that I was close by today I decided to stop and have a search for it. On seeing the park I prepared myself for a good long search.

I immediately noticed there were people doing something in the house next door and wondered just how thorough a search I was going to be able to manage. As it turned out I found it very quickly. I was able to retrieve it, sign the log and replace it with the muggles next door being none the wiser

Mmmmm

Bonhaf and I found this one after a bit of searching. Cache where it ought to be. Lid broken but fits back in. Forgot pen so did not sign. Thanks for the find. Mozzies rampant!!!! Tried out new caching equipment (gardening gloves).

Success! Found this one with a bit of persistence and my great mate, TessaF. We then celebrated our find with delicious afternoon tea across the street. I highly recommend the banana smoothie. TFTC. Happy New Year.

Didn't find it today but will surely be back! The rain came out of nowhere and we had to quickly find cover.

Concentrated on what the smartiephone pointed as the GZ, the hint and about 10 m radius around it. Nothing came up after 20 mins of "gardening" and spots above.

Perhaps this is a case of severe cache creep and I'd like to suggest the CO checks on it and potentially returns the container back in its own place.

TFTH, sniffme and muzbot!

Looked and looked but no luck.

Well this has been a nemesis cache for me. On the first two attempts my children and I searched every corner we could think of with no luck. I then contacted the CO but did not hear back. I then contacted a previous finder who gave me a helpful hint. My daughter and I came back this afternoon after an appointment at the RCH. It was nearing dark so I wasn't sure if we were going to have much luck. I tried to feel with no luck but then looked as this person said. Aha there it is! Very tricky find. The log is full but signed the piece of paper someone put in there. I had trouble keeping the lid on as it has broken off so hopefully it stays there. Glad to finally have a smilie for this one!

Tried looking for this one after work. Looked and looked with no luck. Phoned a friend who had found it previously. Cache is definitely not where it should be. Also searched similar spots in case someone had moved it. Not there either. Suggest CO check on this one as I am sure the cache has disappeared

Didnt read clue right and went straight to where I expected it to be. Calmed down and moved back to GZ and after some mulling gotcha

DNF but might look harder after an awesome lunch at The Dirty South.

Found a couple of places where it could have been but no luck

Found now haha really good spot

Found it. Took a while.

The perfect cache for a drizzly Saturday morning. After a coffee at Java we headed straight for the hide. TFTC!

This cache is intact. Bring paper and a pen.

No cigar! But dark, will try in daylight

Could not find it... looked for a fair while

No luck finding this one. I hope to get it once it is confirmed it is there.

Tried hard but no dice

So hard

Great little pocket of Paddington TFTC! Needs paper.

4 of us tried hard but could not find it !

Paper is short. I did not have any to add today. Thanks

I managed to retrieve the cache from where it had fallen and replaced it where it clearly should have been, I have only ever driven past here in a bus, so could never stop, TFTC

Geokid sussed out the right corner. Plenty of muggles abound in a Sunday

We will back to sign the log but cute park tftc

Cutest park ever!!!!!

Lovely spot for an early morning find. TFTC!

TFTC

Found it after having a look through the theater plaza! Thank you!

TFTC. After a nice dinner an easy find. Cute little park.

Needs more log paper. We live local so will try return with some soon. TFTC

Nice and simple find waiting for nearby emporium to open.

On arrival at GZ I was a bit worried that the hide might be a 'mulch-type" one because there were some very active bush turkeys setting up house. Not to worry, a safe hide and the cache in good order.
Nice place to visit! TFTC!

Started geocaching yesterday and couldn't find it, came back today after a couple of finds this morning and found it! Thanks! Moon_head

Took a bit but found it!

Tftc!

Looking at antiques. Took detour to find this easy cache. Tftc

Found it! Started looking in the wrong place but once we worked out the clues better we found it straight away!

Nice easy find which was good after the disappointment of not finding the last cache.

Thanks!

Enjoying the view now I've made the find. First ever micro! TFTC

Sneaky! We also went to the wrong corner while hunting for this one. BYO pen or implement with which to sign the logbook.

Out for Breakfast in paddinton with the geo daughter.

Slowest Breakfast ever.

Battery almost flat, quick! Looking in all the wrong corners and was about to call it a day when the geokid made the find. TFTC

Yes! FINALLY!

Hard to find a park in this neck of the woods during the week but I managed it.
Zipped down to GZ and searched quickly finding the cache.
Nice little park.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks sniffme and muzbot All good with this cache

Nice quick n easy find. TFTC

Fwf! Thanks

Got ya..on a roll ....TFTC

Nice little spot on busy road.....a couple of muggles were sitting there but didnt even seem to notice what we were doing...tftc

Quick find, nice little 'quiet/busy' area. Left new log. TFTC

[B)] we did good

Diners nearby were too busy to notice, so found the cache after a bit of wandering about. Cute hide! TFTC!

Out antiquing and managed to escape for a few quick moments to get this one. TFTC!

Lot of muggles enjoying the park. But grabbed it.
Log needs replacing.

Thanks for the history tour.

In the area tonight for dinner, and found this one on my radar for the cache for the day. Came up with Geodaughter on the way home. A cute little park that I have passed many times and never stopped at. I bet the locals love it. Thanks for the cache.

easy find
I did not have any paper to replace the log as it is in dire need of some tlc, it looks like it has been in a jeans pocket when they went through the wash. I managed to sign something somewhere
tftc

Read the hint and went to the wrong corner... always trust your instincts! TFTC

Found it 29 June - quick find with the kids

An awesome chocolate tasting at Monties followed by a quick cache and then a visit to the Antique shop.. what a top way to spend a Saturday morning. Satastro made the find after we spent ages (between muggles) inestigating other possibilities within the park. TFTC.. and thanks for giving us a reason to visit this beautiful park!

First cache found on Brisbane holiday. Tftc

Put everything in plastic bag .

After spending a relaxing time in Monty's Chocolate shop nearby we took a detour through the park to see if we could find the cache. After initially going to the bottom corner of the park, a trip up the stairs led us to the 'right' bottom corner and an excellently placed cache.

The logbook could do with being renewed but we found some space on the back of the sheet to log our visit.

Sometimes at night it is more difficult to be inconspicuous than the day. TFTC

Log book falling apart, might be time for a new one?

Mazy found another one.

With a friend nearby I've driven past this place almost every time I've visited Brisbane. What a great town Paddington is tftc

A nice easy find even at night. Tftc

Very muggly area. Lots of trendy bistros. Had to be really sneaky. Tftc

Thanks it's the beautiful place

Log book full!!!!

#629 Was staying at The Collingwood B&B, and went to find this as it was nearby. The place has a nice strip of shops. TFTC!

Walked up to the hill to find this lovely corner of the world, few muggles in restaurant deck nearby but they weren't too concerned about me, just wondered around a bit and I spotted sonething, sat on bench nearby to sign the log which is full but I managed a scribble somewhere, it's falling apart at the seams too. Might go and check out the antiques over the road.

TFTC

Found this one on my Bike-Cache-Day
TFTC

Had terrible traffic on the way home from work so I decided just the thing would be to take 5 minutes out to find a cache. Without to much of a detour I managed to stop nearby.

I spotted where the cache was hiding as I was walking up the stairs into the park and just had to wait for some muggles to pass and sign up. I would have liked to spend more time relaxing on the bench but I had to press on to try and get home at a reasonable time.
