Green Eggs and Spam Holland Park, Queensland, Australia
By geckomaster62 on 26-Feb-11. Waypoint GC2PDP4

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.

I will have to think about the future of this one ?

Found the GZ fairly easily but it appears that muggles had also found it. Found the welcome note not far off the beaten track. The container had been left empty, and open. Could not find log. Will attache a photo or two later. The lid and seal were some metres away and contents were cast about. Misssusan79 and I (despite her post in US times) put as much of it back together and "hid" the container. On the way back to the main path, some small toys were spotted by the geogkids, supposedly from the cache. Sad realy, but not a unique fate for a cache.

So sad. We were today but found the cache exposed, empty, scattered around a 20m area and with bits missing. We found the laminated note up near the main track, the base near gz, the lid near the creek and a few swaps scattered throughout. Stupid people who ruin our fun. Sadly no green eggs or spam for us today.

We had to abort the search today due to the mozzies. We'll be back when I have my repellent!

Tftc!

great idea!! Love it! Not sure well get back to the car but oh well! tFTC

Whites Hill was the target for today. Parked next to the soccer fields and set off on the bikes.
Following the bike path to within about 50m of GZ I thought this was going to be a quick pickup…..No there's a creek here. Ok 80m back to find a suitable crossing and we're finally heading in the right direction!

Cache fairly quickly found in a likely spot and seeing the tin of SPAM (thats spiced ham!) certainly brought back some childhood memories for me - I actually quite liked it maybe you have to be around my age to appreciate it!

Thought the log was missing but then enjoyed the jokes before signing. A favourite point from us.

TFTC.

This is one that I have left needing to be found for far to long and finally today I made the stop and took a look. I was hoping to be able to go straight in, however there is a bit of a creek stopping that, so I was left with following the path until a suitable spot.

The find was quite quick and I enjoyed the contents, funny thing the spam is probably still more then ok to eat, tough stuff that is (or so i understand). Well I went through and found what I thought was the log, but no it was in the next, guessing someone put a bit of paper in rather then finding the actual log.

TFTC

Found it and easy

No shortage of egg jokes. Good one:)

Kids loved this one...

Nice cache! TFTC

Out for a geocaching run with seffnjarah. Fun time was had by all. tftc

Managed to track this one down without any problems and found thelog for signing as well. Tftc

Out on the bikes with teamdfl for a Freaky Friday. This one made me smile A couple of great childhood memories there. I believe my mother still eats the stuff The cache is a clever idea and was fun to sort through. Loved that we worked out where the real logbook was [^] TFTC, geckomaster62. Have another favourite point.

Continuing our travels through the forest we came to this cache. GPS was a little out under the trees, but near enough to find the cache quickly.

Do I really need to mention that this is another geckomaster masterpiece?? I did enjoy the fact that it had fooled a few people with the log book. We tucked the stray piece of paper with quite a few names on it into the proper spot

!!!!

Ha Ha - fun cache. Charlie loved it :]

What a lovely day for a walk! Bush bashed a bit & found the cache no hassle! Loved the Spam

Took a pirate eraser & left a pretty murano glass pendant necklace.

CO: TFTC! [:X] Awesome idea! All in good condition, dry inside. Plenty of log book space.

After not finding Velvet Geko decided to try this one. At first my GPS fooled me a bit but second try was success!! Straight to the GZ. Nice and easy found. Logbook is missing from the box but otherwise in good condition. TFTC!!

With darkness falling rapidly, I picked up my pace and headed to the nearest point on the track from which to begin my downward bush bash.
At GZ I looked around here and there but soon spotted a very likely feature and headed over. Sure enough, there was the big box. I liberated a very pretty Geocoin and enjoyed all cache contents, though it seems some visitors may have struggled to find the logbook: it's definitely there, folks!
All in great condition so again TFTC and I hope to complete more GM62 caches very soon!

Great walk around bush to find this one i dropped off tc TFTC

A lovely diddly bop in the bush. Easy find although the iPad had me out by 10metres!
I am Jelsh. Jelsh I am!

Nice little trek, TFTC!

4th cache of the day at whites hill! missed a track turn off and went cross country for a while only to end up meeting up with the track again.

Enjoyed the CO's eggxelent sense of humor once we found the cache.

TFTC gm62 all in good condition!

TFTC gm62. I picked up a Chinese lucky coin from the cache and 10 minutes later while walking toward our next cache, spied a $5.00 note on the path! Those things really are lucky!!

Easy find was very exposed. Loved the jokes. Took the travel bug.

This was a nice easy find. I loved reading all the chicken and egg jokes. TFTC.

Found. Had to go bush

Another great hide Took some small things and left heaps of stuff. So it has lots in it now.

Awesome cache as always. Loved the books an love the cache. Left lots and now every green egg may have more than a yolk in them.

Finding this one was the easy part. I eventually found the log after a few false starts. TFTC

My second ever. Gonna be cool

Found this one just as a massive storm hit! Got absolutely saturated but found the cache so it didn't matter! Thanks for the cache geckomaster62!

Found while out walking before my physio appointment. Never been to this bushland before. It's pretty. Took TB.

Kids liked this one. It was a lovely morning to go for a stroll in the bush and work off those eggs we had for breakfast. TFTC.

Seemed to take the long way to get there but it was worth it (won't put Dad in charge of navigation next time!!). TFTC - most creative we have seen - the kids loved it. [:o)]

Ha ha loved it. Favourite point from us and dropped a gc to encourage others. Tftc

Good hide!

TFTF = Spam... reminds me of Monty Python too

My pick du jour! There we were, Nursey Julie and I, prising open eggs and reading the corny jokes out loud. Looks like some cachers didn't realise the logbook was in a green egg.

Wondering about the Use By date on that tasty morsel? LOL.

Thx for another fine find geckomaster62!

A short walk along the path from an Old FJ, I found myself here. Hmm... What to expect... [?] I initially started looking in the wrong place but soon noticed a likely hiding spot. As I approached, I found the cache uncovered in its lair...

I retrieved the container and opened it up... Err, Hmm... Just as the page suggested, right... I only got to read one of the questions before I had my name in the log. Is that good or bad I wondered... I went with the good option as it would have been interesting otherwise... [^] Business sorted, I tucked the tucker away and headed off...

Another nice creative cache and well placed.

Cheers Geckomaster62.

A nice stroll through the bush to GZ (it was all dry still!) and a quick find - then the fun began!
Really nicely assembled cache - and a great idea. We had a lot of fun with this one.
thanks, Robmc.

# 1199. This was our last day of caching in Brisbane before flying back to Melbourne tonight. We found a parking spot and then which way to go. We bush-bashed across the trickle of water and up the other side. I found the large cache pretty much just stitting there. Oh so that's what the cache name is all about. Don't think I will desire bacon and eggs for a while now thank you!! TFTC

This was a very amusing cache set up and brought back memories, long distant..of the book that inspired the cache title.
Never been a fan of spam.
Took 12 goes to get the logbook
Thanks

Great idea for a cache! TFTC!

Well it was getting late, so i was lucky to spot this one. A Great hiding spot and a very well preserved cache. The best one i have found on my beginners adventures so far. Look out for the friendly but large Huntsman spider guarding the cache. Lots of Lantana about now (since all the rain), so quite a few cuts on the legs. Long pants recomended.. Found the log book and also a travel Bug! So i retrieved it and logged it and will now help it fulfil its desire to travel the world. Great cache. Thanks a lot.

Found it after walking into countless spider webs. Didn't find the logbook though. Should have spent more time looking through the cache picked up the optical illusion coin. tftc!

Found after a bit of a search, it was a little away from our coords. Left Razor racer TB and took iCache TB. Egg-cellent cache and very inventive logbook.

Spent the morning helping a friend shift so thought we should find a cache on the way home. Went for a short walk and found cache quickly. TFTC geckomaster62

After a morning helping a friend shift into a new place (oh my aching back) it was time to find a cache. This was the closest so off we went. A little walk up the trail and we soon made a quick find. After a bit of egg work the log was in hand Left two geocoins to continue their travels. TFTC thou master of geckos

Enjoyed the cache. Very entertaining. Couldn't find log book. Mist be missing something.

Found after a nice stroll. TFTC

Found with Speeder3. Nice walk in a nice area. Thanks.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed this cache. Good fun. She loved the hippo but forgot to bring something to swap.

Quick find while on a trip to Bunnings. TFTC

at 15:16 after a rathe circuitous route trying to follow the GPSr.

TFTC geckomaster62. The cache is fine. Those who fail to persevere to find the logbook miss out on some of the fun.

A wonderful cache, made me realise I was hungry - not!! Searched through and finally found the log. TFTC geckomaster62

What a great cache.

And it was full of Dad jokes as well.

[Nice! I always look forward to and enjoy novel geckomaster caches. ] The eggs reminded me of the 'counting eggs' I had as a child - you had to match the right numbered halves together in the dozen or they wouldn't fit. [Sun was setting, so I didn't have time to find the log, I'll have to pop over another day]

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:15pm. It was a short walk from the car to GZ and the cache was quickly found. It is in good condition; interesting bits inside. TFTC

Lovely area of whites hill...found after walking the long way. no log book tho?

I love the egg-stra mile you go to on your caches Geckomaster. This one is quite eggs-travagant
I grabbed Alfred deciding he needed a change of diet.
TFTC

Strolled over here from where you parked your "FJ". Nice section of the forest I haven't seen before. Found the cache on arrival, but had some concerns about the contents. Eventually found you-know-what. It's never a simple cache with you, is it? Well, if they were all simple, it wouldn't be as much fun . TN/LN/SL and read the jokes ... insert large groan ... TFTC.

geomummy from amelia and co.led the way.
I guess she won't do that anymore because I just got a phone call that she had found a tick on her body and it has bitten nice and good.
So off to her house I went and tick is now gone but the lump and redness still remain.
Mental note to keep the bushman in the car so it can't be forgotten

TFTC ...[^]... geckomaster62

Mental note. Don't do a quick cache on the way to see friends. Either this is not a 2 terrain or I really took the wrong 'track' in
Awesome cache when I finally arrived
Tftc

Great cache!!! It is worth to open all the eggs. Thank you.
Out TB: BDWZZJ
In: ballpen

I'm on a business trip to Brisbane and was out and about to find a few caches. This was an early morning grab on the way to work - in my work clothes! As I was about to leave GZ a few coucil workers arrived in the area - they must have thought I was mad! Dropped off a TB I picked up in Perth. TFTC

Great cache. Nicely hidden. Loved the contents. Forgot to bring a pen (again) so we didn't sign the log. TNLN. Love your work GeckoMaster! Tftc.

7 from 7 on a great run around this amazing tract of scrub so near the city. 2nd last egg. Thanks for the cache Geckomaster.

Another great hide in the Whites Hills Reserve. The last time I was here I didn't venture down this far south, so it was nice to have a cache or 3 to bring me to this area. As always a great place to visit.

After a small bush bash I spotted a likely looking spot and sure enough there was the cache. On opening I was very impressed with contents .

Once I cracked a few eggs and some Spam (Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam ) I had the log book signed.

A well designed cache, thanks

As they used to say in the advertising - 'Go to work on an egg!'
Well, I tried to today, but the egg wouldn't start.
Finally, I pulled out the yolk, and it was all-white then.
Running late for work, I was hoping for no speed cameras, when somebody passed me at 20 k over the limit.
Yes - you guessed right. It was an egg-beater!

Nearly as bad as some of the jokes inside the green eggs? TNLN. TFTC.
No chickens have been harmed while logging this cache.

Thought that I would never get to GZ – there are tracks running every which way. What a great idea for a cache and well executed.
TFTC

After reading the logs, we found the best way to the cache (have a fear of crossing a snake!) and there was green eggs everywhere. So I bravely sat down at gz and read away, was alot of fun. tftc

When this was first published, I wondered what this could be??

Deep in geckomaster land today and arrived at gz and wasn't disapointed!!


Great implimentation geckomaster62!! Cache in good condition too

For once I was puzzled, what could this cache be ?
Was it pork offcuts, or eggs of poultry ?
If it was both then I could almost see,
That Green Eggs and Spam would delicious be

When I finally arrived at the Gee Zed out here,
I did not believe that a cache would be near.
But I scratched and I poked there and here,
Then by and by a cache did appear

The find of the cache did seem to be easy,
But the smell upon opening made me feel queasy [xx(]
No wonder the green chicken was so uneasy,
If you open them all, you too will feel cheesy [^]

TFTC.

Teehee - nicely done . Wandered over from our failed attempt at FJ1953 but luckily this cache was much more forthcoming. Thanks to the updated coords, walked right up to it and got down to cracking some eggs. Perfect cache for easter! Thanks geckomaster62

It took us a while to find this one and then to actually log it, but it all made sense in the end. Thanks very much for the hunt.

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 30.871 E 153° 04.827

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 30.874 E 153° 04.823

Distance from original: 29.6 feet or 9 meters.

Coordinates updated

Still have not changed coords . Refer to previous logs I will get there soon.

Nice piece of work geckomaster62.

We parked nearby and followed the mahagony track into the reserve till we got as close as we could and then set off carefully down the hill to GZ. Obvious signs of previous hunts at the listed co-ords but we spotted a likely place that Dr Zeuss might have lived.

Then came the funny part. We sat around taking it in turns telling yokes till it hurt.

We ended up 16m away from GZ - last digits 9 & 3.

We then thought about heading directly out but decided that the lantana and creek just looked too hard, so we headed back up the hill and left a large stick stuck in a stump as a bit of a marker.

TFTC GM62

Another excellent geckomaster cache, first one for today.
As always i decided that direct was the best route to GZ.

As with previous finders co-ords were slightly of but can confirm are about 9 meters out until corrected.

awsome cache with much effort put into its creation.

I deicded to tackle this one while in the area after work. I made my way into the bushland - fairly happy with the route I took. Got to GZ with dry feet.. and started the hunt. I know geckomaster62 caches be very cunning - so I was prepared for anything. Initially, I did not find anything.. so I widened my search and came up with the prize. A very clever cache.. and contents indeed. Everything in the cache seems to be in order. I grabbed the TB from the cache. TFTC geckomaster62 - looks like a lot of effort went into this one

Glad you enjoyed the Green Eggs & Spam Max. I will check out the coords on the weekend . I marked the spot you mentioned in your log, but then repositioned the cache away fom an angry ants nest , and forgot to mark the new GZ. So to any potential finders prior to me readjusting the coords, according to Max it is about 9m out . Thanx Max

It was lunchtime and I was feeling a bit peckish.

Spam and eggs sounded good so I took a hike.

I ignored the initial indications from the GPS and took the path which circuited around GZ.

The GPS took me to a likely spot and there was a golf ball beside a tree.

"This looks like a GM62 decoy to me," I thought.

I searched the immediate area with no luck and then widened the search area and soon found the hoarding.

The eggs didn't look too appetizing and I didn't have a plate for the spam so I just cracked a few eggs open and signed the log book.

I did swap the geocoin with one of my new Walkabout tags to get it moving.

thanks GM62 for a nifty location and a great idea for the cache.

So, ok I was at home watching the Red carpet of the Oscars when the email came through. Nearra sent me an email asking if I was going to have a go. This one would have been my first ever "solo" FTF. But it was not to be. I was so proud of myself to actually fond GZ and I really did search for ages. The sweat was pouring off of me. The next cacher can thank me for getting rid of all the spider webs. I'm so frustrated. I'm sure the cache was staring at me laughing!! Next time.

Second to find behind Stairman1. I had a phone call from him at 5.50 p.m. saying he had a new cache to find in Whites Reserve. I arrived home 5 mins later, threw on some hiking clothes and jumped in his truck with the dog. We arrived just on dark and with torches in hand started our hunt. We searched for nearly an hour. I was starting to get tired of looking and I yelled to him "let's go home" when I heard him say "here it is!!" We had a look in all the eggs but didn't take anything out of them. I left a little keyring flask. Geodog had a good look around in the dark as well. Well done geckomaster. TFTC

Thanks GM62.

I am needing a few "close to home" caches to help fill up my calendar with a cache on every day.

I will use this one soon.

My first first to find. Saw the posting at 5.45pm rang goldie lover to see how far away she was. On the road at 6pm racing to find a cache. We parked as close as possible and pushed up through the scrub to gz. Nobody here great!!. We spent around 45 minutes in the dark with torches hunting for the prize. Dropped off a crocodile gc seeing it is reasonably close to a creek. A great cache idea, a lot of work has obviously gone into it.
Nice one geckomaster62
