I will rethink this one. Just need a few more weeks to decide whether to resurrect as a multi, relocate or archive.
Muggled again. Fourth time in as many months. Think this one will have to be archived unfortunately.
Out with ankakeca for a few hours. We found the obvious hiding spot, but after searching all over we didn't get the find. Happy to send the CO photos, as we think some things might be missing.
Searched high and low at what looked the right place but couldn't find a container. Maybe it's gone once more?
Found with Rhobocacher on what felt like the hottest day ever.
This is an impressive item.
This is an impressive item.
Found on our way to ipswich for the day on what was insanely hot omg what an impressive structure TFTC 
Goodbye! Thought we found the right GZ with all the spooky stuff and more... but very so carefully checked all around but alas.... Thanks for the hide anyway.
Found the tree with all the spooky stuff inside, could not locate the container.
Like usual, getting to GZ proved a challenge and at this point I thought I should've worn longer pants despite the heat. The tree was magnificent and deserves all the favourites! TFTC
TFTC Out with new CO to discover caches and do maintenance if required.
This is not what it used to be. Placed a temporary log and container till CO replaces

Original cache has been muggled. Temporary cache has been placed until I can replace with something suitable.
Fantastic cache! First one like this I have found!! It needed a bit of TLC with the container open and bits and pieces strew meters around, but actual cache holder was in good order! A favourite point to follow!
Well hello there. Some caches are really worth the effort of trekking through the bush, albeit along a geotrail. This one would also be a good night cache with care taken along the trail. Not necessarily a unique concept, nevertheless in good condition.
Seems I have been here before but not as a member. May, 2013. And at night. Oh well, that would account for déjà vu.
This cache was awesome, great spot, great cache container and nice a great setup for retrieving the cache. TFTC, definite fave for me.
This is one great cache love it. Had an issue with a snake on the previous cache but glad that didn't scare us away. TFTC. Only one tb in cache. Just scout coin there.
Today _Mud_Blood_ , my mother and I decided to do this trail of very popular caches and they really were loved for all different reasons! I had an absolute blast finding the caches in this trail. I have also allocated a favourite point for this one!
We had planned it out to do the trail, skip this one and then come back when it was approaching dark. I absolutely loved this creative cache and if only I could give it more than just one favourite point!
Left geocoin to continue with its journey. (Scout About) TFTC!

After finding all the Pooh Corner series I came with my geo-grandson to find some more of the "nice" old hag's creations. A little bush bashing and we had it in hand. Thanks again
I am not sure why this cache says to come at night. I wouldn't come at night. The grass is very thick and high. I got about 20m away but having come from not being able to access Your not a baby anymore I decided to give this one a miss. There are not many caches I choose not to access. I will go just about anywhere.
Out with jemillalucy and geokids for an afternoon caching. The mushroom freightened me and then lucy pointed out the cache. Tftc
Out with mum , my sister, jemillalucy and her daughter for a nice afternoon caching.
Why hello there! Quickly found after making my way through the bush to GZ. Thanks!
Once again I think we came in from the wrong direction and traipsed through some rather long spongy grass...I really couldn't imagine poking around these locations at night! We found a very lovely tree here, loved the decorations at the cache and Dr_Pepi was quite surprised when a real, live critter flew out from the hide-e-hole! Thanks again Old Hag - even though it was a warm day, it was a nice distraction. SL.
Hopped back on the footpath and continued the journey with trin_007 from the 'spooky' cache. Once again we took the 'hard' way in, following the first geotrail we saw…. with hearts in throat and performing somewhat of a John Cleese funny walk to scare away any snakes we headed in towards GZ. Just as we got to GZ Trin mentioned that this one should be done at night… hmm, I see the benefit of that at the cache but super glad we weren't going through that grass at night!
Leant in to grab the cache and 'hello'! A butterfly (or moth) flew out at me right at head hight - scared the bejeebus out of me! There is also a spider in here, which looked too real to be fake… though it was dead so no dramas. Cache is in good condition. Think this one deserves a favourite point. TFTC an old hag!

Couldn't wait to check this one out on the trail! Love it! Would love to see it at night. So creative!
We spotted the gz from a distance but were still taken aback by the awesomeness of this cache. We really enjoyed this find. Just in time for Halloween. TFTC fav point from us ♡
Should of come at night this one was good took hummer tb, the other geocoin is no longer here.

Well worth the bit of bush tramping!! Fantastic hide - worth 2 FAV points if I could!
cache find #1811. Out caching today with joojoo57 and Diamonjs. We bush bashed our way to GZ, and what a great surprise waiting for us. Would certainly be better to do this cache at night. Loved the creativity of it all. Dropped off tb. TFTC.
We laughed and shivered in fear. This is the best cache ever found. Left a geocoin for the next visiter to pick up. A really big Thank you for this cache.
Great cache!
Thanks very much to An Old Hag for creating it.
For quartpotpobblebonk, just getting to the GZ was an adventure. That part of the city was unfamiliar and it was interesting to explore it - it's grown a lot since it was first announced as a new development!
Approached on foot from a completely ridiculous angle and ended up wading through thigh-high fauna until reaching the edge of a mucky looking waterway and thinking "oh, please, not in there".
Gave up and started to return to where the reluctant caching companion was waiting with the car. And d'oh! There's an easy route.
Reluctant caching companion suggested a second try and - this time using the easy way in - the clever cache was quickly located. (About 6m from where the not-too-reliable-because-of-much-dropping GPS said it would be).
Laughed. Signed log. Left a few path tags - including some that glow in the night which seemed right for this cache.
Back to the car and home to attempt to rinse off some of the sap and prickles and lantana thorns and grass seeds…
PS: Doing this one at night would have earned this clumsy cacher a broken neck.
But it would be an awesome night cache.

Great cache, hadn't had time to do any for a while and this was a great one to start off again with. TFTC

Lots of fun here while doing the creek trail.. hmm perhaps I shouldn't have worn thongs!
Out and about in the Forrest Lake and surrounding area with John from Couhcmen on a stormy day. Ended up with about 20 finds, a DNF, a letterbox cache and a few mystery finds. Cached in the pouring rain for a few finds, but no probs there. Very muggy weather, but a few short walks were had anyway. Apart from my kids, how would you put it, let's say excitedness, a good day of caching. Thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches.
A huge tree at GZ, a delight to see. I couldn't find anything with my initial search, it was Marindah, my 5yo who spied what we needed to eventually sign the log... TFTC, well constructed and a fav from me.

Out with Blacklegend and kids today and after looking at a few different areas to attack we settled on this one as it had the least found by each of us.
The GPS's sent us all off on a wrong track but after spotting a possible GZ we back tracked and chose another approach.
We were sure we had true GZ but spent a few minutes searching and not finding till one of the kids said "I've got it".
They seemed to be having trouble so I checked it out and found that it was only a clue to the actual GZ,
What a GREAT Hide!!!!
This one well and truely deserves a favourite point.
Thanks Old Hag you have some great hides around here. TFTC SL TNLN

What a great cache! Did this one after being at a friend's place in the area, late on a Sunday afternoon when there wasn't anyone around. Not sure if I would want to do this one at night!! Was glad I did this one as my 50th cache!
Wow ... I thought where to start when I looked inside. Then dismissed it. Geolze spotted hide's extras. Certainly wowed us especually so closed to hallo.. TFTC
Great find with kids came with misssusan79 and lisylou about 12.30 in the morning had a great laugh
This is one of the most amazing, creative caches I have come across! Such a perfect spot for this cache! This must have taken ages to set up! Thanks for this fantastic cache an old hag!
Definitely should have taken your advice and gone at night - would have been better!!! What a fantastic idea for a cache. Going to take all the grandkids to see it! A fairly easy find. 
Dropped off trackable.
Dropped off trackable.Went out on a caching run in this region today on my own, and collected a few peeps along the way.
Why do I wash my hair on caching days?
An easy find with OrionJ and LHE Duo today!
