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.

Its been a good ride, but all things have to come to an end.
So long Graceville, its been a lovely journey.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of this cache. However, the log was very wet. Of the three biros we had with us, two wouldn't write on the log but, luckily, the third one did. The cache is in urgent need of maintenance. TFTC 2Js!
 
02-Jul-12
Please refer to previous log. Urgent maintenance required.

Found the cache with my dad and sister from ny. It's all a little soggy though and you can't write in it anymore
 
12-Jun-12
The log is waterlogged.
 
10-Jun-12
Found this one as soon as I reached GZ as it was sitting out in the open beside a tree. I rehid it as best as I could. Should still be pretty easy but perhaps not immediately visible.

The log is totally waterlogged. Sorry - didn't have anything with me to replace it.
 
10-Jun-12
First geocache found, by a very excited 6y.o.!
 
26-May-12
Well I don't know why people haven't been able to find this cache.
It is a rather large container sitting in the open.
The log book looked like it had been recently found and signed by a Muggle.
TFTC.
 
25-May-12
ill let someone take one more shot before i pull this one down and go and check it out
should be at the base of a tree under some stuff. Not that hard to find so i suspect its been muggled.
 
21-May-12
Couldn't find it at all. Has anyone found this cache recently?? I think some muggles have found it before I did
 
20-May-12
looked like others had been before me may try again before returning to the uk

i had heard the story of the cache in the floods but could find it on a brief search, which I didnt overly enjoy. Interesting community garden though.
 
06-May-12
note: the house at this cache is a community hall, not a private residence.
 
26-Apr-12
Even though i knew this was a community garden, It still felt a bit awkward roaming around beside somebody's house Surprised. Luckily, the treasure was found in quite an obvious spot … so i quickly signed the log and replace it where i found it before i attracted any attention Smile … all was good and dry.

TFTC 2Js! Big Grin

WE ARE BACK! Sickest Lad and I found this one Smile quick find. Cache is in great condition. TFTC

First ever!

This was a lovely place to park and look around before getting the cache. I was involved with a community garden at the Gold Coast for a while so i appreciate all that's gone on here. Having the house nearby must be a real bonus. I didn't find any rubbish near GZ. It's obvious some water goes through here from time to time but that's not a big deal. I left some extra swag for future kids to find. Also it was good to have another cache nearby - 2 finds with 1 parking place!

Found with my mum and dad {whint & bad dal} and Gambler2000

Quick easy find... not a soul around due to the wet weather so it was a very quick easy sign and return today Smile

Did a bit of searching and finally found it with the help of Tiamet! Lots of rubbish around the GZ. Tftc

Found @ 11:09 on 24/03/2012. This was my 20th find of 44 total finds today whilst out and about avoiding politicians.

I've seen a few of these gardens lately doing caching ... interesting idea.

P.S. nice cache.

The joy of caching shoes is that mine are old (hence I don't care what happens to them), thus the sole on them has been worn down to a very flat surface. I found today that this does not work well with wet, muddy ground. It was raining as I debated which side to start from, but it turned out I was wrong but could cross over the gully anyway. I slipped and slid and squelched my way towards the cache, umbrella in hand. GPS was soon pointing towards a garden and I spotted the cache from the grass, although I did note the co-ords being a tad off for me today. I extracted the cache, whipped out the logbook and added my name to the list. Time to slide and splash my way to the next cache Smile TFTC 2Js

Cache number 2 in our haul tonight. The kids liked the size of the container. It met thier high expectations. TFTC
 
14-Mar-12
Quick and easy find whilst passing through the area today. I was hoping to find a geocoin in here as listed but no joy. I was going to take it to the Mega, but it looks like I'll be posting a note to the owner thats it's missing instead.
 
29-Feb-12
Found it. Container size should be upgraded to large, had trouble re-hiding it, but alls good now. Dropped off coin to move on.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Arrived at the garden and had to rely more on observation than my GPS as I had no good satellite reception today. Tracked down the cache, it was in good condition. Good selection of swaps, so recommended for cachers with kids. Signed the log and covered it up again with some less obvious camouflage.

TFTC 2Js =)

18-Feb-12
All very quiet this morning as we wandered through the garden and past the bee hive. It looks like the area around the cache floods too.

Left a TB

Pretty fancy digs these 'droopily gardeners have Smile
First time I've visited a community garden with it's own house [:o]
Surprisingly there was no one around on a Sunday and I soon found the cache Razz
I grabbed "L'il CDUB" TB and headed off in pursuit of more caching fruit and veg Big Grin
TFTC.

This is the second community garden I have found with geocaching. I didn't know this one was here.

A great concept. I found the cache easily and then walked back to the car to get by pack. I dropped in a TB and a handful more swaps.

Thanks 2Js, an interesting location and a well placed cache.

I dropped by this one on the way home from work today as I continue my mission to tick off "find" days in the calendar. I arrived to find the place nice and quiet but a few dog walking muggles around the grass surrounding GZ. Surprised

I armed myself with my black comendium and still dressed in business attire, I escape any suspicion by appearing like I'm supposed to be there. As the muggles moved on, I swooped on GZ for a quick find. I got business out the way quickly and tucked the container away. It was in plain sight when I arrived but now has some camo around the outside to hopefully giver it a little more protection... [^]

No gardening this afternoon which was handy.

Cheers 2Js!

Nice easy find, or will be once the grass get mown! Took Mr Potato Head TB.

Grabbed this cache after work. A very pleasant walk for on a Friday afternoon. TFTC
 
31-Jan-12
Chose the right time to find this cache as the mowing had just been done, made my walk to this one a little easier. The cache is dry. Thanks 2Js!
 
30-Jan-12
Out and about on the bicycle today Smile

And the rain come down as I was walking to this one. A little muddy around GZ.

Added another TB to the cache.
 
30-Jan-12
Another on my quest to fill up my calendar year Wink.

I suggested to loki that we go find some caches this afternoon and this was the first. After a little searching we found the cache.

I am guessing this community garden need a little work.

With this find, I have cached on every day in January!

Thanks and well done on your first cache. Smile
 
30-Jan-12
Well Totalube needed to find a cache today so certainly I could come along to celebrate him filling in his January calendar! Razz. I also provided navigational support right? Big Grin There was a large water dragon enjoying the garden but he wasn't too impressed with our presence. Thanks 2Js!

Grabbed hastily as part of our "8 cache types in a day" attempt. Loved the generous size and the TBs of which we grabbed one to take with us to the Event in North Brisbane today. TFTC!

This one came up in the weekly notice today, and not too far away, so left the computer programming problems and went for it. Community garden? The River cottage program on foxtel had a community garden in Bristol I think, and they even raised pigs. No sign of pigs here though, or chooks for that matter, so no bacon and egg for breakfast today.
Took a TB, and left a TB, no other swaps today. TFTC.
 
26-Jan-12
Our last find on a trip out and about today. Added another TB and then headed home for a well deserved afternoon snooze - thanks.

Found with geokid5 - left Hertha BSC Socceroos TB to continue its travels. TFTC

Raced out yesterday to find this one only to be stopped by community gardeners having a bbq. Signed the log but didn't see the path tag left by goldie lover. What a shame.

Found at 11.08 p.m. This one popped up while Stairman1 and I were in the valley at chinese new year. Being only 5kms from home we knew we didn't stand a chance at FTF Sad. After we arrived home I dropped Stairman1 off to watch the tennis and I grabbed geodog and decided I would be brave and attempt it by myself Razz. I arrived 50 metres from the GZ on the wrong side and starting crawling through the undergrowth. I lost my nerve when something scuttled in front of my feet Surprised. It wasn't geodog Surprised. So I got out of there in a hurry and headed home to grab Stairman1 who at this stage had finished watching the tennis. "What you didn't get it" [?] he asked me. "No I thought I would wait for you Red Face" I said. We both hopped back in the car with geodog and quickly arrived at the GZ. With the neighbour's dog barking its head off and the house up the road having a party we quickly sneaked in and located the cache container nice and safe. Signed the log and left a pathtag for the next cacher. Thanks 2Js nice hide. Pity it was dark and I couldn't see the community garden.
