As we were leaving this area, and given my recent success at finding archived caches from this CO, I thought we'd just attempt this one. We parked at the suggested parking waypoint on Boronia Court to then walk down the path and get to GZ. I hoisted myself up to search the back of the wall, and I was amazed to make the cache find reasonably quickly, with a quality logbook page in the familiar cache type. It looked great since its last find three years, and then I realised that another cacher had visited here a month ago (and I hadn't refreshed my cache page). The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and just a shame that the inner container was a little destroyed/cracked (and it would have been an easy fix by a visitor). Always nice to make an archived cache surprise; Thanks [Gaz'n'Kab](https://coord.info/PR2WHK7) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today, baby Cottontail and I visited the Springfield area (Springfield Central and Springfield Lakes). The plan was to walk the Frilled Neck Lizard Circuit (FNLC) that is within the Spring Mountain Conservation Estate before it got too hot, which was a hit with baby Cottontail given the variety of themed animal hides. Our other highlight was Grande Park's playground and RAAF Beaufort Bomber memorial. We then returned home via a strategic bakery lunch stop to then have an afternoon home play. We also visited a few Locations in the [Coffee Capers around Springfield Lakes](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/3497f3de-917a-4df1-acc3-0984823a82fc) Adventure Lab.
I quickly found a familiar looking object but there was no log inside. I left a replacement log. Thanks for the cache Gaz'n'Kab
If you cannot maintain it then let me maintain it. Just transfer the cache to me.
Agree with previous finder - log is still damp and inner container broken. Temp log (RITR sheet) left but unsure how long this will last. Thanks.
Today was the start of my little journey outback for a few days. While I’m not in a hurry, I do have a list of caches that I do want to collect along the way and probably some extras as I pass by. It won’t be hard to continue my challenges of a trad a day and a cache a day challenges for the next few days, I am also hoping to pick up a few new challenges along the way and some target caches too.
My journey sees me stopping in Toowoomba for a day and a night stay. While on the way I grabbed this one. It was after I completed a walk to grab a challenge cache.
All good with this cache and with it found and log signed I returned it as found, thanks for placing it here.

In the area today to visit some family on this side of town, I completed the nearby series in the reserve and thought I would also find the others in this estate.
A quick find here this afternoon, log signed and all replaced as found, it was time to finish up caching for the day!
Thanks Gaz'n'Kab for placing this cache here to mark the entrance to this cool part of Springfield.

I’ve been here once before.... and even though I had a very good idea of what I was looking for, this took longer than it should have... lucky the traffic never stays still for long... tftc...
Really enjoyed it. Forgot pen though, definitely a family of ants living in it though. Cleared it out, super clever! TFTC

After attending Gunnie69's birthday event nearby, we continued caching in the area.
Managed to find a spot to park in the nearby street and at GZ, after searching all likely hides, found it quickly.
SL then returned as found.

That’s a sneaky one. I found it but put it back. Then the kids realised what it was. Fun!
Thought this would be an easy find and had to wait for a car to move on so I could park my car, I think it may have been the previous finders. Trotted off to GZ and a quick find as I noted the hint. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC
We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us. 
We had to travel approx 100km this weekend to attend an event cache for the souvenir. There were quite a few options and it was looking like Canungra for Sunday when we got some info that we needed to visit Gold Coast to check on our digs for the Commonwealth Games so a 2fer was decided on.
We had a lovely time at the event then tackled a few caches on our round-about route back to Lowood grabbing a few caches as we went of course.
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

Lots of little s around, even at night, so beware. Quick find and log. No room for swaps.
Over at Greenbank for a party. Decided to do some cache hunting on the way home. Nice busy corner. Found after a bit of looking around. TYFTC.
On my way back from a round trip (150km) to pick the muggle friends Mum up from the airport and get her to a graduation ceremony out at Augustine Heights which I'd never heard of until tonight. Plane was over an hour late so that stressed everyone especially me as I was the driver. Hate the chaos of driving around the airport and then it was missed turns and wrong roads but we eventually found the place and got Muggles Mum there, a little late but all in one piece. I said to the muggle, That's it! I need some cache therapy on the way home! I couldn't see the eyes roll in the dark but heard the groan so I scouted round for a park and grab and found this one. Parked nearby and we walked over and I found it within a few minutes. Signed and returned it as found. Good camo and all is dry and well with this cache. Smiles all round again. Even remembered to pick up milk on the way home. Home to bed now! TFTC 
Quick find. Thanks for giving us an excuse to break our trip and stretch our legs. TFTC
**# 17297** Found on the Qld leg of our 2017 winter escape trip. 
Another perfect sunny winter day for a drive around Springfield Lakes.
Not many muggles around and a good quick find here.
Thanks for the cache Gaz'n'Kab,

A quick park around the corner and up and over the wall and there lays a smiley - well it does now.
What a nice day to go Caching.. put a call out last week that i wanted to go. had JACS team respond.. so we organised a day and swapped the digits.. Organised a meeting spot to start the adventure.. finally getting to the same meeting place... we put our heads together and came up with an action plan. started solving one multi but as shops where still closed made it harder. so we changed our plan and jumped in the car and set off on our adventure to find caches. had a great day out thanks JACS team. You've Been Bear'd
