With the history of needs maintenance dnf's and one write note over the last five months and no owner comment it certainly needs some attention
Spent a while hunting but nothing to see so I think it needs a replacement or confirmation that everyone for the last few months is missing something having a nice walk though!
As previous comments we found the pencil but no cache. Pretty sure we were looking in the right place but no cache to be seen.
Hi Gemjay, we were here today with Selva Girls who have previously found the cache and sadly it is missing. The pencil was tucked into a curve of the tree just above the hide but nothing else to be found here, although we checked the structure and the surrounding area. CO check may be required please.
Here today with Selva Girls (previous finders) and sadly no container to be found. A lonely pencil remained tucked into a nook nearby but sadly no trace of the container or its contents . Tfth Gemjay
Not sure if all 4 of us missed it, but definitely tried and couldn't find anything.. did find a pencil, rope and a purple star but no luck on the cache
~7:30PM
Full replace with new log book, bag and pen.
Clue is present.
Thanks,
GemJay.

Could smell fresh cigarette smoke in this spot. It wasn't us, and there was no one within 100 my from us.

Found with my Geokids after participating in an archeological dig recovering graves from the 1860's! Cache is broken and logbook is wet.
Lid of the cache is damaged and the contents are wet. Found it right where the coords point. Tftc in this nice quiet area
Nice and easy find on a weekend trip to visit friends. What an intriguing cemetery!
A second find for our family group. The box was not completely intact and the log was soggy. We logged on a piece of paper in a small zip-lock bag instead.
Visiting the nearby Botanical Gardens today and I decided to grab a few caches from here in the cemetery.
The code on the lid is very faded but I'm pretty sure I managed to read it correctly. I'll find out when I go for the final.

Out with the bf... put the very damp log into a snap lock bag and cleaned up the contents as best I could but the lid is pretty much shot...
Tock a little a bit more time, some digging around for it. Does need some care
Cache is in bad shape and needs maintenance. Lid was not on the container and log book is wet.
What a huge tree!

Found it on 26 Feb 2015 with 2 primary kids. Our first success. Nice easy way to start geocaching.
Quick find after a peaceful stroll through the cemetery.
Nice and cool in the shade of the grand old tree. Bet it could tell some stories.

It's a rainy old day but I just was dying to stop in and grab at least one from the Toowong cemetery. ( see what I did there). I nice easy drive by. I love these caches that feed my addiction when I am working.
Out today enjoying a full day of solo caching while the kids are otherwise occupied. Trying to rack up a few more numbers for an upcoming milestone, while also targeting caches to fill empty spots on our DT grid. Out the door at 0500 and powered on to find 38 caches, including 6 previously solved puzzles and 3 multis, picked up 3 new TB's and dropped off 2 old ones. Whew what an awesome adventure!! This one was a quick Park n grab, no trouble Spotting duets being exposed. Hid with more cover TFTC
Quick find between muggles who were probably visiting some parents at the cemetary. Nice big tree!
TFTC. Last few hours in Oz and I managed to fit in just one more cache. It turned into a drive by which was cool as time was becoming precious.
Speedy find in sure a great spot.
Thanks GemJay for placing the cache.

Great spot and fairly quick find considering half our time was spent avoiding the muggles TFTC
I'm fascinated by cemetaries (especially old ones and the ones in foreign countries), so this was a must on our way to Mt. Coot-tha. Took some time and detours to get here by foot from Auchenflower train station. But we made it and were probably the only (living) people there on a Thursday morning. Thanks for showing us the place!
Stumbled across #4 over the weekend, intrigued enough to complete the series. First of the day - TFTC
Popped out for a quick one at lunch today with Selva Girls. Didn't have too much trouble finding this one, just had to make sure there were no muggles around watching us. There was a car, but they were a bit away and I'm sure they weren't looking at us. We signed it off and got our hint. Back to work! TFTC!
With Sezzz. Quick, easy find despite muggles nearby and muggle caretakers mowing lawns. Log signed and cache returned to its hiding spot
I passed by this graveyard just before dsk and took the time ti find a couple of caches including this one FTC
2nd quick find in the cemetery. .. just had to wait for the muggles walking their dogs in their ute... leaving aquamarine trackable for bff to take on his journey...
Nice find after a lovely stroll past a lot of history. Collected aquamarine trackable. The journey continues.
Out at Mt Cootha yesterday and popped in here to find a cache of the day. We found this one easily enough, signed then replaced. We then decided to try find the gave of Mrs Moose' great grandmother using BCC records and cemetery map. Eventually found her site but not before noting the sad state of repair of many of the surrounding sites. Tftc GemJay
Spotted quickly with a cacher's eye as historical muggles circled the nearby monuments. Thanks GemJay.
Found it in the open in the general vicinity. Logged and concealed again. TFTC

As we approached GZ we noticed a family tending to a nearby grave so we went and found another cache before returning to this one a bit later. We made a quick find. TNLN TFTC.
Had some work to do on the dark side so I had an opportunity to grab this one on the way back to work. The groundsmen drove past me at the most inopportune moment but didn't give me a second glance! Thank you for placing this one
Found it quickly. Cache could do with a bit of love. It was totally empty with no swaps. Only a log. Thanks for the cache. We enjoyed looking at the nearby gravestones especially those of the little children and babies. So nice they are still remembered and thought of today.
Walking around "The Dead Centre Of Town" whilst in Brissy for a couple of days I managed to claim this one. It was a bit of a worry because the critter was clearly visible from the road. Grabbed it anyway before the gardeners did, and was happily filling in the log when a couple of muggles and their mugglemutt decided to camp out on an adjacent gravestone . Had to take a little walk around the place supposedly studying gravestones hoping that they were not there for the day but eventually they moved on. Replaced the cache and took a little time to ensure that it was hidden away from prying eyes. TFTC GemJay.
On arrival at GZ we could see the cache lying exposed on the ground. Perhaps it was animal interference? Cache was unopened and contents in good order.
Collected the clue. Hopefully one day soon we'll have them all.
Had a good look around the cemetery while here - interesting.
Thanks GemJay
