G'day nannamar,Can you please give us an update of when this geocache is expected to be fixed or enabled again? I noticed you used an "enable" log to note it was still not yet fixed, so I have disabled it again to keep it of the map until it is definitely ready to be found again.Geocaches without regular updates may be archived without further warning.Cheers,Jingeri[Geocaching Help Centre](https://www.geocaching.com/help/)[Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines)
This hide is still to be refurnished as of 15 oct 23. as far as I know its still there but I will get down there asap o check it.
The container was full of water and slime, I have emptied out as dried as much as possible. Logbook is damp but still writeable.
Didn't get the hint until after we found it (haha). TFTC. Quite a big container! All well maintained.
Logged and Found as WallabyTim/KaleidoscopeCass or WallabyWanderers. Backing this up with our old account, Apologies if you receive multiple logs
After moving away over a year ago, we still had two smilies left in this area among a sea of yellow. So we made a quick stop today to rectify the situation. I will be recommending this cache to a fellow cacher with kids! Thanks!

Heading back from an event at Highfields, and the GPS led me through Murphy's Creek. Hadn't been this way before so I had a quick look to see if there were any caches nearby, and this one popped up. A fun find.

Logging the caches around Murphy’s Creek before my first ever attempt at archery AND it went well Blistering hot day and no water in the creek. It’s a dust bowl out there But swim in a Billabong and dinner at the tavern with friends rounded out the day
I’ll admit to looking for the golf course. Clue didn’t work for me but got there eventually. Spider not pleased to be disturbed Seems he likes your camo

Out for some caching fun with Mr CuriousQuest. We had headed west, now going north, we came to this cache. The cache was located after a bit of a search. After addding our names tot he log and returning everything as found, we continued on our way. TFTC
Out and about today with Selva Girls to pick up some caches today. A nice one. Log signed and caches returned as found. TFTC
Absolutely loved this one! I grew up in this street and not far from it! Kiddies Absolutely loved this. Thank you!
Nice easy cache liked all the friendly toys reminding me of all the joy in us children. TFTC
Largest cache I’ve found in quite some time. Thanks for maintaining with so much care & swag!
Absolutely loaded with #GeoTeasure for the kiddos. Good little beginners find. Loving Murphy's Creek. TFTC
Didn’t quite understand the hint at first but then had an “aha” moment! Very nice, Tftc
Out for a country drive & collecting a few smilies along the way.
#4 of 8 found today.
A slight detour here with Roostaman.
We had found & logged this cache way back on 20/06/2017 & were curious if it was still in play.
All in good condition.

**# 25521** Found on our 2019 winter escape trip to Qld with Mrs Roosta.
A perfect first day of Spring for a drive around at Toowoomba.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good safe hides.
An excellent cache and a favourite point from me.
Thanks for the cache nannamar,

The Geokids definitely loved this one. It's fitting that they were the ones to find it. TFTC
While on our way to Crows Nest to attend Rural Safari 2019, we stopped here to find this cache.
A quick find after figuring out the relevance to the cache name. Heaps of swag inside! SL then returned as found.
Found on 2 August 2019 at 3.40pm. TFTC, nannamar.

Was just about to give up on this one when eagle eyed Mr Treasuretraka spotted the hide. The coordinates are very accurate.

Had to separate green from brown to spot this one. It all made sense once spotted. Clever hide. Tftc
Ok we’re having a giggle at the clue and cache theme. Love it. Well done. Had us scratching our heads for a bit and feeling a little conspicuous again. Tftc
This cache is NOT inside private property. There is no need for a 'needs maintenance' on it. Cheers, and happy caching!
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.
Currently staying at Laidley today we decided to head out for a drive in the surrounding area. Got a little sidetracked and strayed further than we had loaded into the GPSr. Luckily we had GSAK with us and were able to grab coords for caches offline. Phew.

Took the long way home following a week working in Toowoomba. Found lots of interesting places and spots along the what totally enjoying a few hours in this part of the world
Great idea. Great cache. Although i may have been busyed by the owner lol. Seen a car coming and did the old pretend im on the phone than the car turned towards me and out jumped a lovely lady. First thought was oh no someone is gonna tell me to get away from their property. After a lovely chat and meeting a fellow cacher log was signed and replaced. Thanks heaps
Love that and awesome name of the cache! Awesome hide! Got signed and returned same place! Fav point from me! TFTC
I found this one today after sleeping in then deciding to seize the day and make the most of the sunshine by exploring down the hill a bit. And then up the hill a little bit to this cache. What a clever hide, I was thinking I was completely off track until something clicked in my brain and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Well, well, well, what have we here. I didn't need my driver, iron or wedge... which is just as well because it's been over a year since I had a game!
I found the well stocked cache and signed the log. Giving a fave point for this clever and cool cache! TFTC.

**Smilie #5216**
We decided today would be a great day for another trip to Toowoomba & surrounding areas.
So many caches out here still need converting to smilies! LOL ...
LOL ...
Lovely!
Took a minute or two to click then it was a quick find for Geo-Mamma.
A great well stocked cache indeed.

A GREAT ONE FOR THE KIDS!

Oh this one was tricky. The jungle here is well developed.
Of course, if the hint had many any kind of sense to me it might have helped, but such is life. I think some previous logs helped with this one.
Nice to find some real Tupperware too.

This was a cache full of swag, which is really great for geokids. Left some swaps & we really liked the way this one was camo'd. Great co ords & cache in good condition. Tftc nannamar xo
What a great cache! The small Wards were so excited when they opened the cache to find all those treasures! Took a couple and left a heap.
Thanks for the cache! Loved the hiding spot

I noticed something and geopartner soon found the cache.

Doing some of the caches around Murphy Creek, before we drive up to Toowoomba. Never been to this area, so thank you to the CO's and their caches for bringing me there. Wow the locals are sooo close to this cache and we didnt want to look suspicious , so we really needed to find it quickly. Looked for a while and noticed something that looked out of place. Found cache. TFTC
Having a weekend of caching including on the way to, south of, as well as in Toowoomba with the weather being fantastic as well! Great variety of scenery and many places being visited for the first time. This cache took a little thinking until I finally spotted something that is linked to the hint. Very clever. Thanks and a favourite point from me.
Very clever, had us scratching our heads for a bit but K noticed it in the end. Fav point awarded. TFCC
We came home from Toowoomba via Murphys Ck today and grabbed a couple of caches along the way.
Tftc. Gps was out a bit on my phone. Used my geoknowledge and the clue to bag a win.
What a clever unexpected cache in the bush. Well done, nannamar - a rare favourite from us. Found at 12.50 pm on 20th June 2015. TFTC.
Great one! Lovely hide and heaps of things for the Geo kids to trade. Great work! Geo kid said "it would be so cool to live near a geo cache!" Love it.
cache find #2806.Afer reading previous log entries, we found the cache quickly. Nice hide. A fourite point from us. TFTC.
Another cache which I was bit nervous about searching for. I don't enjoy looking near private property and this one seemed to be a bit of a struggle.
I searched around the area for quite a few minutes before I spotted something a bit unusual.
Can't say I have seen camo like this before. Well done.

We decided to spend the afternoon today collecting some caches in and around Murphy's Creek - particularly because there was the closest multi-cache that we haven't done which we needed for the August souvenir challenge
What a pleasant drive it was today exploring this area.
This was the third of the 'Murphy's series for today and I must say they were all good containers and hides with lots of variation in container types and lots of good swaps for the kids [^]
This was a fun camoflage and the log and swaps were in good condition [:0] Thanks for the cache and a drive to an area we haven't been before

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there nannamar. We found your cache "Murphy's a Golf Pro!" at 10:18:00 AM today.
This was our 7th cache find in a caching run of 14 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9478.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was to add to our current streak of "Most Consecutive Days" cached. With this cache the total now stands at 224 Days.
This was our first day caching around Toowoomba, and we really enjoyed our trip around some of the back roads today. We didn't have any kids with us, so we didn't trade. (We did rescue the trackables though).
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Grabbed Trackables: "Mr. Mumble" (TBMZ24) & "No Time Like The Present" (TB3E8CA).
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Found it - finally. One of those "Doh" moments when I saw it. I wondered how I had missed it on previous visits. TFTH. Took a few TBs to move along soon.
While camping with my family at Murphy's Creek Escape, I went out caching. Had a little look around and then spotted something that matched the name and the hint. I loved the chamo! So cool to see so many TB's. I didn't have any to swap but thought I would help move a few on. TFTC!
Great cache, lovely to see so many TB's hanging out. We took the Yang geocoin and dipped our daughter's TB to start her journey. TFTC
We were on our way tonight to Crows Nest for the weekend. We normally wouldn't go through Murphys Creek but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to swap over a number of TBs we had with the TBs in the cache. A nice large cache and well hidden. Amazingly one of the TBs in here I had dropped off when over in NZ over Christmas 2013, and another I had discovered over there so it was surprising to run into them again out here. Tftc.

This cache put a smile on my dial. I had just come from a not appropriately rated cache nearby and was glad this one was correct and funny in a simple way. It gets a favourite for the day for its simplicity. Thanks nannamar.
