As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Cache owner has not logged on GC since January 2012. In the absence of any action this one needs a reviewer intervention

Didnt find it so maybe it has disappeared??

Couldn't find this one as hard as I looked harder it became no joy today

No sign of the cache, and after recent logs about a broken magnet and not being able to find it, I suggest its fallen off at some point.

Nothing located to start the climb for. Maybe the rating needs a bump as well

to many muggles in park today and may need step ladder when comming back..was with outback di who is also a short person....will bring geo hubbies next time.

2 Many kids will come back with tall geohubby Thanks anyway..another gr8 park

Need to bring the step ladder for this one

Found by geoson bsmj , very out in the open. Hope it doesn't get stolen

After looking low and looking high i found with in 30seconds but was not able to reach cache so brownsnakemob had to lift me up tftc

Yay

Found it after half an hour of looking. Was ready to give up then spotted it! Nice find

Used geogirlfriend as a boost to reach the cache. Nice hide

Our very first geo-cache! Not too tricky to find - just a little tricky to reach, luckily mr Gillam is part monkey

Arriving to an empty playground and shelter we started searching for the cache. After a short time spotted it and knew what we needed to do to get it. There were some eyes watching at the basketball hoop every now and then so waited for our chance. Thanks for the hunt The Funwins

Awesome! Never heard of this game before and we are having a ball... Maybe parents having more fun than the kids!

Ayepeacee and I were chilling out tonight when he decided he felt like chauffeuring me around to grab the few north lakes caches I was yet to smilie on my map. Hes good like that I had been forewarned that I would definitely need Ayepeacee's help in retrieving this cache, and when I found it, I realised what he meant! Though I must say, if i had been solo caching I would have found a way.. sticks make good chopsticks! Ayepeacee monkeyed up in his super cute way and retrieved it for me, I signed the logbook and he returned it in the same way. Wondering about the terrain rating on this one, and laughing my butt off at previous logs!! We stopped at the playground to muck around on the equipment like local derros and then we returned to the geo-laser so Ayepeacee could continue to chauffeur me around north lakes. TheapsFTC The Funwins.. ^^

Took us a while to find this one, as the terrain rating does not really match the location of the cache. Read the previous finder's log for some help and then made a quick find and used team work to retrieve the container. The magnet on the container is broken in half, it must have been dropped at some point. TNLNSL TFTC

No. 87

This was number 7 of 17 caches found on an enjoyable caching day with Net88.

Hmm, this one was spotted easily after reading the hint, but how to retrieve it???

The hint suggested one way, but I didn't think either of us had the required skill. Did the table help at all? No, still too far away. Net then decided that we only had one option and that was for me to climb onto her shoulders. "No way! I'm too heavy!" Net wasn't going to let a smiley get away for lack of height though and insisted that I wouldn't be too heavy for her, so she crouched down and I climbed onto her shoulders. She stood up slowly and amazingly, I could just reach the cache.

I immediately felt the need to get off Net's shoulders so as to reduce her discomfort, but she didn't think it was a good idea for me to try to jump off from that height. Once I was off, we quickly signed the log and then had to go through the process again in order to replace the cache. This time, though, I apparently had my legs too tight around Net's neck and I could feel her fall forward and "plonk" her head on the pole as I reached up to return the cache to its correct position.

The walk back to the car was accompanied by quite a bit of laughter and wonder at what the locals would have thought if they'd seen us. Hopefully they weren't looking!

TFTC Funwins, you have taught me that I should probably start storing a step ladder in the boot of the car next to the pram!

Ninnes Family and I found the cache straight away but since we are both on the shorter side we looked around for a moment or two trying to work out how!

I decided i would take one for the team and crouched down next to a pole. Ninnes jumped onto my shoulders and we pulled ourselves upright using the pole. It worked fine except Ninnes wanted to jump straight off my shoulders. Um No Ninnes, how about i let you back down so you don't hurt yourself?

Down we went and she jumped off and we signed the log laughing at our accomplishment then it was time to replace it.

Down i went again and again Ninnes jumped onto my shoulders and this time she wrapped her legs around my neck. Yay that will make me balance well... not! I was half way between crouching and standing and i couldn't get any further so i just leant forwards and let the pole hold us up. Ninnes replaced it and jumped down and we were off back to the car laughing and hoping no one was watching through a window

Thanks for the cache funwins

We looked inall the wrong palces before the hint helped us to locate the cache. Retrieving the cache was something else but we got it eventually.

tfc the funwins

Couldn't find it I feel I know what the climbing part means but ran out of time

great hide the funwins tftc

Found it! Geo-daughter put in baby toy chicken to give cache a prize or swap but has to be small. Good hunting!! TTFN

After having to climb the beam we signed that sucker
Tftc

I was very glad that I bought my handy dandy kiddies along this afternoon. After failure with my shortest, I soon had the tallest up and at it with me. Lots of fun for an after school caching adventure. TFTC!

1223 - We tried to grab this one late on Easter Monday afternoon, but due to the nice weather and the fact it was a Public Holiday, it was totally the wrong time to try to grab it, as there were a largish group of muggles playing ball games in the park and a few relaxing under the shade of the structure. We ventured back into the area today to successfully pick it up and we found it in good condition at 3:21pm. Thanks for showcasing this nice park The Funwins.

Very high, needed geocousins to help grab it. Used up lots of energy on the playground after find.

this is a fun one to get. luckily we came as a group. thanks for the cache.

Thanks funwins! That was fun trying to get to it!

Got it late at night, dropped trackable

I was on the approach to this one when I got the notification that Gfive had found it and no one was in the park!! yay!! So many times I had driven past... but this seems to be quite the popular park with the locals!

Arrived at Gz to find the park in fact vacated, so grabbed the GPS and walked briskly to where it said to go.

I soon spotted the container, then searched for an extraction device. I figured a "clever" way to retrieve it, but as it dislodged, it managed to re-attach with a big "clang"....hmmmm, so much for the stealth!!

Was able to retrieve and replace with a bit more subtlety after that.

Thanks Funwins

At last, not a soul in the park. Easy find and stretch.
Thanks Funwins.

@ 15:28 on 09/03/2012. This was my 21st find of 27 total finds on my birthday today.

Got here just as school is let out somewhere nearby - poor timing. Found it quickly enough, but needed some ingenuity, and gaps in mugglette traffic to extract, sign and return it. But all good and done.

Easy, TFTC

Simple find TFTC

Found Ok

Found at 0920. Marg spotted it but how to get to it a small dead branch found lying next to a small tree prove effective, both for retreving and returning the cache. We left this handy tool leaning against the tree for future cachers. I don't long it will last. TFTC.

Good little cache cheers tftc

GPS took us a little off to start but rethought and with the aid of local debris we were available to retrieve it.

Easy to find but not so easy to get at. Finally resorted to a locally made tool to do the hard work (me climb that, you have to be joking!!). Can’t quite work out if this hide is clever or just sadistic.
TFTC

I could not reach or climb to this one, does it count it the cache is seen?

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 9:11am. Found the cache quickly but had to get it so returned to the car for a tool. Cache in good condition. TFTC

Found this on 05.02.12 with my friend Elle. )

Luckily read previous clues and was armed with a tool, recovered quickly duly signed then looked around before repositioning to see a mother and child approaching, hastily replaced the cache, and made our way to the car, while the mother and child settled into the sandpit, One could say perfect timing. TFTC

Lucky we come from Longreach ! Tftc.

Found at 8:42pm )

I decided to call in on this one after work today. As i rounded the corner, i could see a few guys in their flouro's having lunch at GZ , but by the time i found a good spot to park the truck, they were packing up and heading for their car
An easy find, but a bit tricky to get to (and more so, to replace!) …. lucky i can jump . TFTC

Interesting grab with 2 short geokids! TFTC

Hmmm a bit more than a terrain 1.5 we feel!! But no problems for the Lokipagan acrobatics team. Thanks The Funwins

Found the cache and lucky I brought a tool especially to get these type of caches. Putting back was easy. TNLN TFTC Thanks the Funwins

My last cache today while heading home with the Lokipagans. Arrived at GZ. No kids this time. Good! Loki was pretty sure it in one area - which of course she climbed all over - until I informed her GZ was further on. We hunted for a bit and I spotted it.

While I kept watch, Loki and Pagan did what they do best and the cache was retrieved. The co-ords are pretty good on this one. It is in good condition. A lovely little park. TFTC The Funwins

White man can't jump. Tftc

Finding the container was easier enough, getting it down was harder. I had to dress down and pretended I was a kid again.

After signing the logbook I discovered a problem, how to return the cache to its hiding spot. Many minutes later, and after several failed attempts I managed to jump it back into position.

Well when I turned up the area was abandoned and had a bit of a fossick and checked the hint. Could not see anything at GZ that really matched it.

Then kids turned up to play on the playground Hmmmm caches near playgrounds I moved along - not wanting to cause any alarm or misunderstandings. Looks like I will have to return some other time. TFTH.

Located the cache reasonably quick (so much easier when there's 3 of us), and thought how are we going to get that. Well it wasn't pretty but managed to retrieve cache, sign log and replace. No-one around at the time helped too. TFTH

very quick easy find

now to get the actual container

bet fasted is glad i have been loosing weight

found this quite easy... however being a really bad climber thought how can we get this...

good thing dads strong and can lift heavy things...

soooooooo wish i had my little godson today. he would've loved getting that one and it would've been a lot easier

Published

FTF at 7:30pm, okay so the geo-son and I are having maccas for dinner when the notification came through for this one, so I quickly rounded him up from the playground and hit the road for the cache ... only a 2.6 k drive, after a look around in the usual places for this kind of container at GZ with no luck, I started to think outside the box and a minute later I spotted this very evil hide Thanks The Funwins .... great fun!
