It's about time this cache was archived so as to free the area up for new caches

Think from past posts that it is missing.
 
24-Apr-13
Had done this one a year or two ago with my dad so knew where to look but definitely couldn't find it this morning. And noticed hasn't been found since December 2012. Shame.
 
10-Apr-13
Had a look. Shrubbery has all been trimmed. We looked beneath and within but no cache showed itself. With so many DNF's it might be worth checking by the CO. Two of us looking fairly well, but a little disheartened that we probably wouldn't find anything rather dampened our enthusiasm. A very nice park here though. Thanks for showing it to us x RazzBerry x.
 
10-Apr-13
Grrrrrr! I see it was found after my last search but also lots of DNFs. Raining today so bushes all wet. Recently trimmed so no way of knowing if cache still there.
 
03-Apr-13
Found a nice hooked shaped branch to help with the find but did not manage to find it.
 
29-Mar-13
Set off to do this local one very near home. Searched extensively in the area to no avail and wondering if in the construction/works nearby, it may have gone missing.
 
09-Mar-13
Tried hard but no go today.
 
13-Jan-13
Had to escape from the family on this stinking hot Sunday. Cycled to GZ but got jeered after a while by some teenagers drinking goon! Will return with the kids in an attempt to look less like a weirdo...
 
01-Jan-13
Could not find this even playing hide and seek with geoson. Will try again another day.
 
28-Dec-12
Tfth Rooster and I were down on all fours with only our bottoms poking out the plumbago. Miss Chick was having a great time sticking the flowers to Baby chick until she resembled a bush also. Its all fun and games until someone discovers a wasps nest. Time to go
 
13-Dec-12
The cache is tricky, but so treacherous. Thanks to Tinno.
 
13-Dec-12
Got down and dirty for this one
 
04-Nov-12
Had a quick look but when we saw all the DNFs really didn't look any further. Will come back another day when we know it is really there. Too many muggles around to look for something that maybe there.
 
21-Oct-12
Attempted to find a quick find while eldest geodaughter visited the library. But geolad and geodad didn't find it after looking for about 15mins. Forgot to check the hint too. Doh!
 
16-Oct-12
Geoson and I arrived at gz and started to look around. After a few minutes I started to read previous logs and saw the last 2 were DNFs. We decided to keep going, and figured we knew what we were looking for. However, after about 20 minutes we didn't find it.

Will be back ... next time will try in the daylight.
 
12-Oct-12
Will come back with my garmin instead of iPhone and see if my luck changes.
 
09-Oct-12
Picked the wrong time to look in on this one. Lots of muggles about having lunch and loads of workmen over the road. Scratched about for a while trying not to look too suspicious but felt I was being watched so used the old GPS to the ear pretending it was a phone trick and moved on. Will try to pick a quieter time next time. Thanks RazzBerry x
 
04-Sep-12
Found it with work mate Robbie after having some KFC. Log in good condition. Thanks.
 
31-Aug-12
Met up with the lovely CaptainTerror and Whint to do a caching day around the area today.
This was the first cache on the stop. CaptainT had already found this one and therefor decided to go play on the equipment nearby, leaving whint and I to find this one alone.
Not too long was needed to locate this one. log signed and off again to the next cache.
TFTC
 
31-Aug-12
Meeting a fellow cacher just across the road to start a day of finds we had to duck across the busy road to grab this one before heading off... with a previous finder in tow {Captain Childish} who quickly raced over to the swings leaving Egg in the Sky & I to figure out what we were doing..... we made our way to GZ just as the Captain Caught up... with only one place it could be the Egg in the Esky {:P} grab the little fellow and log was signed. With cache back in place we made our way back to the car and began our day of caching the area Smile

26-Aug-12
Lots of Sunday afternoon muggles very close by - some playing tug-of-war and some skipping rope. Quite nice to see a big bunch of adults playing such harmless old-fashioned games.

The cache was located pretty quickly although it was quite a way from where the GPS said it would be - it probably wanders quite a bit.
 
26-Aug-12
I find myself passing this place often, although always at night and my previous DNF haunts me. Today I was passing by with Gaz'n'Kab and with daylight enough for a proper hunt. We all started looking and they informed me it was missing, possibly gone with recent garden works. But I persisted and soon produced the beast. I am surprised this one has lasted so long, but not a bad hide. TFTC Smile
 
16-Aug-12
was having a bad day so decided to have a quick cache during lunch. Sadly the bad day continued, gps wouldn't settle and nothing cache lije found. decided to give up befote my loitering became too suspicious.
 
15-Aug-12
At indooroopilly seeing a movie & having lunch with Helibear60 so we walked down to this one, lots of work going on in the area. The iphone GPS had us 5 metre away from the GZ took a little bit of time looking in the area finally had the cache in hand Smile TFTC
 
14-Aug-12
Dropped by with a load of travel bugs just to show them how squashed it be if I tried to drop them off here, They all agreed that they would rather stay put with me.
 
14-Aug-12
After a bit of a long look it just seemed to jump out. TFTC
 
06-Aug-12
TFTC .. Little tricky

Jed Ruby n Max found micro cache today. 'The Kriewaldt's
 
14-Jun-12
Fourth cache for the day whilst out caching with IolantheK. We needed to PAF a previous finder since there were so many dnfs we were a little skeptical about it still being there but yep it is there. Big Grin thanks for the cache
 
14-Jun-12
Out and about with Net88.

Spent some time searching here, and I'm not a fan of this type of hiding spot Sad And a few DNF's kind of worried us, so we made a PAF in the end. I'm pleased to say the cache is still there Smile TFTC, x RazzBerry x.
 
31-May-12
Alright WHERE IS IT?? I thought i had found a great place but then one of the logs said a junior cacher had put hands on it. So that eliminated my clever idea. No construction here now, but workers not far away. I poked around in bushes wondering if it was that far away from co-ords. I'll watch with interest to see who finds it next.
 
19-May-12
have had a couple of goes at this one as it is near by, there has been work done in the area so may have got moved? disapointed but still have time before returning to the uk.
 
25-Apr-12
Had a good look last night but nowhere to be seen. A bit of construction and digging up recently done in the area so this may have had something to do with it.
 
06-Apr-12
Nice quick find. Have seen several similar caches. The log was wet and will need replacing.
 
16-Feb-12
Indooroopilly Venturers- we think it's somewhere in the bushes currently inside a construction area fenced off with bunting.

Found the park easily enough, but the area of teh cache was fenced off to allow grass to grow back. Didn't feel like disturbing it with lots of muggles around. Will come back another day.
 
30-Jan-12
Out and about on the bicycle today Smile Parked the bike under a nearby shelter while I searched for this one.

The barriers are still there and I quickly jumped the barrier and had a quick look around with no success. After a look here and a look there And plenty of muggles coming past I decided to move on.

As I was riding away I had a quick look back thinking, 'I'll be back' when I spotted the cache lurking in an area I had not looked. So back I went, grabbed it and signed it. Razz

Great hide.
 
29-Jan-12
I was a bit perplexed Sad for a while with this one. GPS was pointing me in a direction I could not go [?]. Deciding to ignore the barriers I was I facing I dove in and grabbed the cache Big Grin. Today I was pleased for the rain as no muggles were about.
 
27-Jan-12
The temporary fence is still there, which I would have been happy to jump but there was all sorts of muggles around today so not happening for me. Next time for sure.
 
26-Jan-12
Area was cornered off by Council but Geokid5 ducked under the temporary fence and had cache in his hot little hands shortly thereafter. Nice little cache - Geokid5 was super excited to find this one by himself and in the pouring rain - well done champ!!
 
21-Jan-12
With Ms CF otherwise occupied in the vicinity, Mr CF decided to drop by and see if he could pick this one up. Thought I had a good idea on the hide and was initially distracted by a distinct possibility near where the GPSr claimed was GZ. But having convinced myself that this was wrong, the search was widened and a likely candidate position found - with success.

The log was extracted and signed - not all that convinced that the lid still fits correctly. Might be worth checking as the log seemed a touch damp although still usable.

Replaced the hide and the returned to pick up the better half. TFTC.

NO luck today. Council works were on site repairing a drain, and wouldn't you know it - my GPS indicated that GZ was in the area cordoned off!

I decided to leave this one for another time!

This cache was one of the ones I grabbed while in Queensland for 40 hours. I arrived in at Queensland Airport and then grabbed a hire car for the next 40 days. I had time to do some caching in-between attending a sad family matter in Noosa. While in Queensland I had a chance to cache just the south side of Brisbane, Around Noosa and along the Sunshine Coast. I was pressed for time and chose to forgo sleep one night to maximize my time while in Queensland. The Majority of my caching was done at night and I could not believe the amount of toads in the state now. All in all I had a great time caching up here before heading back down south. TFTC
 
05-Jan-12
Had to look like I was studying shopping receipts while others walked past for this one. Luckily I had just been on a spending spree! Cache was easy to spot but I think it was a little more uncovered than intended. Returned to same spot but looking a little more natural. TFTC Smile
 
28-Dec-11
TFTC. Had to avoid a few teenage muggles and a dead possum and a dead crow.
 
22-Dec-11
Enjoyed playing 'shops' on the playground with my 3.5yo before finding the cache - while geowife shopped. Tftc
 
22-Dec-11
Thanks for the great cache. The kids had a ball plus having a park nearby is always handy for the little ones. Lots of muggles about, but sister is getting quicker on the grab-and-go!
 
04-Dec-11
Nice one Smile. TFTC
 
16-Nov-11
Oh dear after much looking in all the wrong places i finally looking at the correct place to locate and log this find.

I just love having to go back to caching 101 and have to think outside the magnetic eclipse tin on the guard rail.

A nice hide indeed [^]

Nice quick easy find this morning before too much muggle activity set in
Arrived adjacent GZ to see a bunch of shade shelters being erected - luckily on other extremity of the park
Quick snatch & sign was possible

Thanks for the cache

Was a bit concerned when we first arrived due to festival going on, however with the location of GZ, nobody paid any attention to us. Nice camo. TFTH
 
23-Oct-11
multiculteral festival was on
but
no one took any notice of us wondering around

quick easy find
great container
 
22-Oct-11
Found during an early morning search for caches close to where I'm staying in Brisbane for the week. Thanks for the cache RazzBerry!
 
14-Oct-11
Great cache, took a bit of hunting by clues from previous logs helped.
 
30-Sep-11
Very clever hide Smile Looked around and realised what geocaching eyes notice but others often miss. TFTC
 
28-Sep-11
Furthermore, the cache seems to have come off its lid and is now much harder to remove. Stronger glue or even pinning may be needed to resolve the issue for good =)
 
27-Sep-11
First cache of the day. I'll add to the already warm sentiments regarding the camouflaging, it's inspired me to create my own similar cache container.

There were quite a few muggles in the park today, though not busy enough to keep me away from the cache. The first place I looked turned out to be right next to cache, but I still didn't see it despite knowing exactly what the camouflage loked like.

CITO'd lots of bottles and paper, GZ was pretty messy.
 
24-Sep-11
Second attempt and too many muggles again...looks like we'll be back.

Thanks,
Camstal
 
23-Sep-11
Found it, but didn't have a pen with us. Loved the camouflage!
 
15-Sep-11
A short detour on my bike ride this morning got me to this delightful parkland setting Smile
The setting was completed by the workers ute parked up on the footpath at GZ and the workers rewiring the junction box on the pole and the picinic shelter lights [:o]
As I rode past I thought I could see the cache sitting there staring back at me.
Grumble, grumble, grumble Sad
It was still early in the day and I would be riding back past this park in another 3 or 4 hours Smile

3 or 4 hours later and ... nothings changed [:(!]
Maybe some enterprise bargaining was in order to secure cache conciliation ?
In the end it was decided that I had the big picture and would fightback !
The pushbike was employed as camo and while checking the rear derailleur I grabbed the cache Big Grin

Another successful caching reform Big Grin
TFTC.

Too easy lots of muggles around though:-)

Well done. Nicely disguised cache. Goldielover spotted it fairly quickly.
TFTC
 
04-Sep-11
A nice location close to home. We had been to this park many times. It took a while to find the container but the clever disguise soon revealed itself to us. Geodog helped with the find and he was our decoy as we headed over to the table to sign the log.Smile We placed the container back safe and sound in its hidey hole. Well done xRazzBerryx. TFTC
 
28-Aug-11
W00t! Just getting into Geocaching - the kids love it! Well they do while they can find it!
No muggles were alerted when discovering this GC. Very cute hide!
 
20-Aug-11
Stopped on the way to work to look for this one. Spotted it pretty quickly, but there were quite a few muggles to wait for before nabbing. Lovely cache, thanks RazzBerry!
 
19-Aug-11
Managed to grab this one while doing the old, "standing, crouching, sitting on the footpath, waiting for someone" routine. Nice work on the container. This was the first of several of your caches this evening. Kept me up 'til quite late you did Wink.
 
10-Aug-11
After my previous DNF and the subsequent finds by other cachers I returned today determined that it would not beat me.

Again I stood around a bit waiting for the passing muggles to get far enough away so that I could search. This time I moved my search area a bit and saw something which did not appear to fit in. Got ya.

Had to do the muggle watch again to put the cache back. TFTC.
 
01-Aug-11
Took two tries to find this one. After reading previous logs I got a hint that gave me success. TFTC
 
31-Jul-11
Found with Bedmaker. Great cache container, loved it!
 
31-Jul-11
Found with TassieGirl.
Took a little bit of searching but we figured out what we where looking for and soon after that we had it found.
Nice bit of work.
TFTC.
 
24-Jul-11
We managed to resist the temptation of the nearby dining establishment and went straight to GZ.

Nice hide.

Our second find for the afternoon. Chimpa was the one who discovered this clever cache.

Be careful of muggles - they are all around!! TFTC
 
03-Jul-11
Visited with Papadavid today. We scratched our heads for a little while, neither of us feeling too keen about digging in the dirt. There turned out to be enough pointers in the listing and hint to help me spot it in the end though. Glad we decided to stick with it(!) though, because this container was beautiful work.
 
30-Jun-11
No joy for me today.

I was in the area of this cache last week with junior Gunnie and had a quick scout around. I was working off a vague memory of the google earth picture and did not have my GPS on me. Add a few muggles to the scenario and it made for a fruitless 5 minute search... Twisted

Much better lluck this morning though having the GPS on hand and a better idea on where I should be looking. I didn't even come close to this last week... Red Face After narrowing down the spot, I set about the search and spotted something untoward within a minute or so.. On retrieval, I was graced with a log book to sign... Now that was handy... [^]

As mentioned by a previous finder, I hope this one lasts as it is a well crafted container...

Cheers x RazzBerry x.

Pleased to see a cache so close to Shoppingtown. A very easy find, almost too easy, so we hid it slightly deeper. I hope city council gardeners are able to leave it alone down the track. Very nice design, team : well done!
 
23-Jun-11
I was on my way to the nearby shopping centre, so I asked Loki to join me in an after work hunt. We found a car park nearby and had a search in the area. The nearby muggles paid us no mind. The cache was soon found, well done on the container Smile nicely constructed.

Log signed and re-hidden.

Thanks for the cache and keep up the good work. Smile
 
23-Jun-11
Stopped by after work with Totalube (it is super convenient working with another cacher!) but there were people in the park Sad. Luckily we were still able to have a furtive search and soon totalube spotted it. Great job on the container!! Nice cache Smile. Thanks x RazzBerry x

After a long day of caching, we had just hoped into bed and thought we better check our emails quickly. To our shock horror a new had been published. Well it may have been 9:30pm, but off we went in hopes of an FTF. We arrived at GZ at 9:48pm and quickly had the cache in hand Smile

Luckily when we opened up the log we were met with a blank log and were able to claim an FTF Big Grin

An excellent container guys Smile
