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. Wink

Now in Ipswich for medical appointments, today we managed to head out and find some caches today before the GeoCruiser went in for a service.

Out for a Sunday drive and managed to find the time for a quick park and grab!
This cache suited that task quite well as it was an easy find.
A few people about but nobody saw me retrieve or replace the cache back to its hiding spot.
Thanks for the cache saintsmadhouse Smile

Mrs Just a Trifle was attending a baby shower in Raceview so while she was occupied there, Mr Just a Trifle made himself scarce and set out to while the time away finding a few caches in the area Big Grin

He had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the log book, he continued on his way.

Thank you SaintsMadHouse for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy Cool

Mrs RoddyC was onto the cache in seconds!

26-Aug-17
Saw a post on FB by RoddyC for anyone interested in a caching day in Ipswich (and a maintenance run on their adopted caches), I jumped at the chance for a play day.
Within the hour we were here.
Arrived near GZ and went in for the search only to turn around to Mrs RoddyC signing the log already. That was quick.!
Park busy with parties and kids playing.

All good with this cache.

On a geocaching trip with tmann421 heading to the MEGA at Stanthorpe. A fantastic trip away seeing a part of the country I had not seen before and collecting caches along the way. Stamped the logs with t&J or our names.

Thanks to all the CO's for the caches and making this such a memorable trip.

Due to yet another missing cache here we have scouted and decided to relocate it to the front corner. Please enjoy this new and much easier to grab location. Please be careful with the hide and replace it safely away.

Number two for the day. Nice easy find. Tnln
 
15-Jun-14
I had the kids with me today which was good as I needed to wait for a while to grab the cache as there was another family nearby, so I sat on a bench and let the kids play. I could see where I thought the cache could be. Oh oops one of the kids from the other family had a little accident, not that that's good but whilst they attended to the issue, I ducked in to grab the cache. I brought it out for the kids to have a look through then had to pick my time again to replace the cache. Tftc
 
03-Jun-14
Had been to a 4wd club meeting at the bowls club so a good chance to grab this one. TFTC
 
05-Apr-14
Wow, I was sure I logged this one! Great park, thanks for showing us Saints
 
05-Apr-14
Nice park and a nice walk. Cache was lying in the open, it was unscathed so we signed and put it back where we thought it would be. TFTC
 
04-Apr-14
Another unexpected park. Love the walk TFTC saintsmadhouse
 
08-Feb-14
We were in Ipswich for the weekend for Marco to have a rally drive and hot lap and then for me to have a trip down memory lane, having grown up here. We spotted the cache as we walked towards GZ as it was very exposed. We have hidden it a bit better now. We grabbed the Free Willy TB and signed the log. TFTC
 
18-Jan-14
Beautifully maintained park. Picked up The Glove Is Off! TB and dropped off Free Willy TB. The gloves are off Saintsmadhouse (reference to TB). We are going to find ALL your caches LOL. TFTC Smile
 
15-Jan-14
Not too many mugglers at this time of the evening.

TFTC!
 
22-Dec-13
Found on 1st December 2013.

Out with J. Yippee the park was empty! Took us longer to find it than it probably should have. Glad to see it has been found since as we were covering it up with muggles appeared from no where!
 
08-Dec-13
TFTC SL. had to get this one early in the morning to avoid muggles as it is a popular area once the sun is up. Picked up a TB and left a TB. Big Grin

On my way through Ipswich and decide to drop rather than drive past even though I'm running behind time. Beautiful well kept park. Followed gps but search took a little longer than I thought. Signed and gripped off Maggie tb.

My third attempt to find this cache and I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get near it because there were muggles all around the area.

As I knew where I was heading I strolled purposefully to the spot and then a quick search revealed the cache.

I nonchalantly signed the log and replaced the cache and strolled back past the muggles. I don't think they even glanced my way.


Finally got it off the list. TFTC.
 
20-Aug-13
I had much better luck this morning with a dedicated GPS receiver. I had the park to myself this morning bar a council worker right at GZ. I waited him out, and started searching over all the areas I had yesterday. Something must have just clicked, as I found the cache in the first spot I looked. I did search here yesterday, though not thoroughly enough obviously.

TFTC
 
17-Aug-13
I attempted to make a quick find before attending to some business in Ipswich, though couldn't get good enough GPS reception. I checked the usual spots around the garden, though decided to move on and come back later in the week.
 
15-Aug-13
# 6171 Found on our 2013 winter escape trip to Qld.
We are in Ipswich for a few days to have a good look around.
No muggles around at this end of the park today and another safe hide logged and off again.
Another day of the 31 day challenge completed as well.
TN LN SL. Thanks for the cache saintsmadhouse,
Roostaman.
 
30-Jun-13
Quick easy find. Just needed to wait as park had a few muggles around. Daughter enjoyed a play in the park while we waited.
Took umbrella and left air force tattoo.
 
25-Jun-13
There were quite a few families at the park today so we had to pick our timing carefully. One family was obviously part monkey as their kids were climbing high into all the trees here. Once they left we were able to close in on GZ. I made a diverson by making my kids climb the tree whilst I, the ever watchful Mum made the grab. The kids started to tell me they were hungry so it was time to leave the madhouse. Thanks for bringing us to this park, its a great one!
 
10-Jun-13
TFTF found it in the rain. Package is in great condition
 
06-Jun-13
Found, while caching around Ipswich.
A good variety of caches, and all well hidden.
Thanks, saintsmadhouse for the hunt.
 
03-Apr-13
Muggles about so we pretended to have a chat about paperbark trees with the kids! No one suspected a thing!
 
18-Mar-13
All quiet in the park today. I'm glad that the bowlers weren't playing either. Thanks saintsmadhouse.
