sounds like this cache has gone missing. We don't have time to maintain it, so I'm archiving it.
Just spent quite a while with the two kids. One obvious spot where it wasn't, and a few others but couldn't find it
Looked in log and around. Not there. Double checked with photos right place. Please check it. That is two of us now
Found with ease was trying to get the little
Brother to get the find but he wasn't getting the message. Despite me reading the hint..... Several times. Tftc though left travel bug.

I love these green spaces in our suburbs. Mid morning and the birds are still singing.
There seems to be two logs going in this cache - both with recent signatures. We signed one.
Thanks for the cache b6s.

Found it. Lots of mozzies around. We forgot to bring a working pen and considered signing in mosquito blood but didn't.
Nice easy find. The creek looks great after some rain. Thanks for the cache.
Nice walk in the shade as it was quite hot this afternoon. Made a quick find, signed log & returned. TFTC
My travel bug (bit.ly/georobber) has gone missing from this cache.
Please return him or move him along, please!

I walked here from the Enchanted Wood cache nearby. A nice quick find in an interesting piece of bush. Lots of wildlife around the creek.
Thanks for the cache, b6s

Careful when putting your hand in the hollow log. My son was about to put his hand it and a frill neck lizard lept out!!!
Great hiding spot and nice little patch of greenery I didn't know existed despite it being local. TFTC!
The birds are singing, the sun shines after a rew drops of rain, and I found a cache. My day is complete-. A lovely patch of bush here to escape from the madding suburbia! Tftc?
A typical Saturday avo for the muggles, out in the park, playing soccer, ruby, except it wasn't a typical avro for my ecentric mother, and I. My bro and my dad dropped us off and we walked towards the site were the cache was located. Once in the area, we stood on the bridge and I used my excellent eyesite to locate our "Hollow Log". We dropped a sharper in and a lava container.
Great cache, b6s, really enjoyed the area because every friday, when my school does sport, we walk past that site to get to the oval. I never knew that was there before, but, after an adventure I do !

This was the first geocache for Lachlan, Hailey and Andrew. It was good to start with something easy in a familiar location.
Despite having the last available souvenir for August under my belt, I still one more item to address. I had previously been to this cache earlier this month, though never actually got to search due to poor light and a number of nearby muggles. Today I was more prepared, with two torches and little activity about. It was now dark, and I suspect I would have liked the area far more in the day time, nevertheless there was a cache to be found. Into the scrub we trod, torches pointed ahead. I still managed to walk into a couple of low hanging branches before crossing the creek onto the main path. I initially was looking for something far smaller, and somehow missed the elephant in the room. We eventually located the likely spot, and made the find. As usual, I forgot my pen, so we hightailed it back to the car to sign for my 300th cache. Much thanks to the CO for putting out two great caches that were part of my hunt today, I look forward to finding your others.

Out and about with karenhippo. Our first stop and a quick find. Co-ords were spot on. TFTC, b6s.
Replaced the warhead container with a new one. Put the warhead container in a zip lock bag.
Okinawan Travel Turtle off to visit his friends in the bush. Container lid had come loose and contents were spread across forest floor. Treasures quickly found by the 5 year old and replaced. I think the "hollow log" has sustained some wood rot and termite action!
Found out that this Geocache was on the way home from church so stopped off in the pouring rain to continue our streak of three days running. There was a lot of good places around but this particular spot was fairly obvious. Cache number 4!
TFTC. Nice spot.

Found on my detour home from the airport. Sports hiding spot from the bridge and had in hand quickly. Sat down on a nearby stump to sign log while some muggles walked passed with their umbrellas. They were probably wondering why I was sitting off the path with no cover as it drizzled with rain.

Love it, was going out to look and I had looked at a map previously about its location, we were driving along and I just so happened to say now just stop for a minute because I can't remember how far along it was, it turns out we had stopped literally just across from it!!! Could not have been better! Tftc!
It is quite common for me to choose the hardest way to get to a cache. Well this one was no different. After crossing the creek not once but twice, we made our way to GZ. It was only later that I noticed the bridge! LuckyLotte had a look in a lovely hidey hole but didnt see the cache. It was hiding nicely under some camo. After putting my hand in and searching I found what I was looking for, much to the annoyance of LuckyLotte!
Nice quick find! Not sure about the cobwebs though!! A couple of cobweb dances where practiced!!
Oh dear, spider webs! Which only envisages giant face eating beasts! Lady membsec and myself reached GZ with mini munchkin and it wasn't long until I was poking at a hole with a stick to try and free the cache! Yes, I am a big wuss! This is why I love to cache with others. They remind me how terribly girly I can be at moments Signed the log and replaced the cache as found.
TFTC b6s lovely little spot for a cache!

Out and about with the lovely Nyssaflutterby, my last day caching with her before we go overseas for 5 months. Once again we parked as close to GZ as possible so that baby munchkin could walk to GZ. We came across the likely area and Nyssa wasn't quite game enough to just grab the cache but she gently nudged it towards herself.

Hurray, another new cache near home. A little bit embarrassingly I've never been on this path before (we usually take walks in the other direction) but I always love when a cache takes you to somewhere like this.
With the hint it was a reasonably quick find, and given that our GPS was not going so well under the tree cover the hint was invaluable.
TFTC really liked the hollow log you chose.

Found with stairman1 and geodog. Nice quick find. Geodog had a swim while waiting for us. TFTC
[u][size=3][green]Dazzpete's Great Northern Migration[/green][/size][/u]
Our northern migration pauses for a few days in sunny Brisvegas as we visit family and catch up with friends we haven't seen for years.
Today we treat geoP's niece and nephew to a morning movie and an afternoon of caching. Aged ietght and nine we aimed for caches that would be likely to have [blue]treasure[/blue] within it.
After a pause to enjoy an icecream we started working our way back towards home. A short walk in to GZ, with the geoKids second guessing the hint the entire way, and then the search was truly one. geoD made the spot and then small hands were dispatched to retrieve the prize. Unfortunately another container too small to contain treasure but they remain undeterred none the less.

Had to wait until the residentocal school attending muggles moved on, found with ease. Tftc SL Jumbucks
I found a handy parking spot and entered the trees. I came across a stream and thought "As usual I am on the wrong side" I headed towards a bridge but found that it appeared to not be in the correct location to get me across the water.
Luckily I found a dry crossing point and found that I didn't have to cross the bridge at all.
Easily located the cache when I finally got the GPS to read close to zero.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 8:55am. It took a few minutes to find the cache but it's in good condition. TFTC
Enjoyed this one - came up on the other side of the river and was grateful for the recent dry season, but found a crossing without too much trouble. Didnt find the hide for a little while and was all set to be quite puzzled until i spied it from the right angle. Pretty spot, TFTC
Found in the company of Capt.Terror during the nearby Geogaine event today. The Captain came up trumps and after a quick log sign, we were off to the next one. Mr Herbz took a bit of a tumble over one of the logs along the path though. Stepping on the log, it rolled away and he went arse-over-tit - some free entertainment for CaptTerror. TFTC.
Whizzing about the Geocaine event today, Mr Herbz and I made the detour to grab this nearby icon. A bit of a bush bash with the route we took in, but quickly spotted the cache. Nice to add a smiley while getting around this rogaining course on such a hot day. On the way out to the path Mr Herbz took a spectacular stumble, but no injuries occurred. TFTC b6s
Looked from one bridge.. nope cant see it. GPS says further on. Next bridge. Nope can't be here - further on again. An voila a little bit of new vegitation and conversation going on but not near the cache. But I didnt sign a log.. my pen was in the car. Damn. So took a photo for evidence! TFTH
Found this morning, in a beautiful area in the suburbs, amazing birdlife, and the song of frogs from the creek.(Tock,Tock). Sat and enjoyed the ambience of this area for some time, thanks for bringing us here b6s.
This is one of the many beautiful hidden unknown little paths in Brisbane suburbia. We parked up the top of a small hill and wandered down to GZ enjoying the shade and the wildlfe. We had to wait for a Muggle to pass us before we could search GZ. Two currawongs stood guard watching us as we retrieved the cache contianer and signed the log. TFTC and bringing us to this lovely spot.
nice park needed to use a stick to retrive there are snakes around this area TFTC
Good find but on looking at another hollow log we found a reptile resting. TFTC
Out today earlier with my friend Michael (ac16221a) but had dropped him home before this one.
The hardest part was finding the start of the track. then it is a lovely walk along the creek to this cache.
Thanks for the cache. The cache was dry and in good condition.

Having some local knowledge is of great benefit to doing this cache at night.....unfortunately, I had none. I parked the car a little afield from GZ and walked the rest of the way. No matter, this is a beautiful area to be walking at night. It was so calm, quiet and peaceful. Plus tonight was quite warm given the turn of season. I had a great time.
Thanks for bringing me here. The log is an awesome hide. Simply made for the task!! TFTC!!!

Another day that needs filling
It was lucky that students have taken a leave of absence from the university, it meant that I could actually get a car spot without circling the campus for half a day .
So with my car with me I decided these nearby caches were the go. I got near, but spotted muggles near GZ, then I noticed the creek between me and the cache .
Looking around I spotted a likely crossing place and as I made the trek over the water the muggles made their way away from GZ. But as I got to GZ, ore muggles appeared, this is certainly a popular place here!
But from the bridge I spotted a likely hidey hole and with a break in the muggles I made a quick recovery of the cache, signed the log and replaced before any more could approach [^].

Our first stop for this morning and it was a lovely stroll along the nice shady path. Cache was in the first place we looked, safely tucked away. Thanks b6s
Found with Bedmaker.
Nice little walk for a quick find. There were a few muggles enjoying the area today.

Found with TassieGirl on an afternoon caching around this area.
After a nice short walk and a bit of a scramble over the creek we had this one in sight.
Enjoyed the area for a minute while we waited for a couple of muggles to go by.
Looked in and didn't see anything bitey so we retreived the cache without drama.

Nice little piece of bush here. Found cache quickly, no swaps, signed log and were on our way to the next. TFTC
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
After work and uni today we set off to grab this one with the cover of night.
A lovely walk in from the direction we approached from, and the cache was quickly found
