Time to put this one to bed. Thanks to all that have enjoyed and found this cache.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

A trip to the Sunshine Coast with Richmond Lad to try to avoid the worst of the heat. Still, it was HOT! The tether was quickly located but nothing attached. My caching buddy has sent a message to the CO in regards to what we have found. TFTC

Up on the Sunshine Coast to avoid the hotter day that Brisbane was having - a difference of about 6-7 degrees. Still it was hot! Found half of the cache, connected to where found. Sent message to CO to explain what was found. TFTC Parko's

Sent you a separate message, however to confirm, maintenance is required, as it appears the cache has been muggled. Only half of it there, with no log book. Did a good search around the area, without success.

I was out today for some great caching with Mr OC and we thought we’d go for the find on this nearby cache. We came to GZ and soon spotted what was left of the cache. No log book to sign to enable a find on this one and in fact, the container was actually in pieces and unable to be put back together. Given this, we didn’t place a replacement log book in the container. CO may wish to check on this one to confirm cache condition as it looks like a log from February noted a similar condition of the cache container.

We came to see why so many fave points were being awarded, but we're disappointed to find the cache has been muggled.

The tether is in place but the container is in pieces, with no log to be found. Might need a CO check

We found ourselves having to make a trip up to the Sunshine Coast today, and with the Creation Carnival promotion by Geocaching HQ, we decided to target a few caches with high favourite points allocated to gain the various souvenirs

We located this cache easily enough and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way

Thank you Parko's for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

I was passing the area on my bike and stopped to look at the cache.
It has been dismembered and parts are missing. There is no logsheet either.
Needs a visit by the CO

Visiting from Townsville and targeting highly favoured caches.
Always good to turn a previous DNF into a smile.
Much easier in the light.
Cache retrieved, signed and replaced.
Thanks Parko's. Nice idea.

Searched for like a solid 30-40 minutes and I actually just couldnt find it. Looked through logs and stuff and narrowed it down to what i need to find. Ill be back to find it.

Had to do some rhytidome repairs to reel the log in as it hadnt been caught for a while.Ingenious cache.
Thanks Parko's.Now one of our favourites.

This one was too good for me and my fading head torch in the dark tonight.
Thanks anyway.

Was quite elated when we finally found this one. GPS wouldn't settle and had us going around in circles. Had to read all the logs which gave us isolated clues -all of which made perfect sense once we had found the cache. Lovely hide and the first of these for us. FP awarded

Too good a hide for me today.

Found it

This one took us a little longer than expected but once we found it we were all smiles. What a clever cache and you wouldnt know its here unless you went looking for it. TFTC

Final find of the run up the coast with RhoBoCacher. Beautiful spot for a not so nice necessity of modern life. Found a ramican dish in a bush. Rho's paf had this sneaky cache found. Quick retrieve, log signed, cache design admired. Minor delay returning to where it belong, muggle gathering sticks for pet birds.

TFTC

Log to follow

Repairs all done, cache is back up and running

Taken this one with us for running repairs

Sounds like this one needs an adjustment

Wow tftc

Well another place we have never been too. A very pretty area. The cache took a while to find... You don't need to go thru the fence even though someone has made an access hole. Really happy to have found this one. It certainly is a different kind of hide! Very clever. TFTC

Grabbing a few caches in the Sippy Downs area today but this was not one of them. I shall return.

Out for the day on the Sunshine Coast with Brother Colin.

This one took ages to find, as the GPSr had me about 8 metres off and I thought I knew what I was looking for BC gave me a hint. TFTC, Parko's.

Well done! Thanks

looked here there then yep cache in hand . replaced wet log. great cache.

Found it great hide almost left empty handed

Tftc really loved this one. We all had smiles of amazement

Found once before but could not retrieve so back today for 2nd go. Found it hanging, so returned to its original spot. Tftc

Good little find

Find #589

Needing to get out of the house for a little while, I decided to head out for a couple of caches. This one was the most favourited cache on a "placed on date" that I needed so I decided to go after this little guy. I rocked up to the street and said hello a very timid little companion then went on my way.

I found myself walking around and around in circles looking here and there and everywhere.. I thought it would be here.. lets check.. nope.. thats not fake (oops). Lets keep looking.. what felt like ages later I was on the verge of giving up when I saw something "odd" in the corner of my eye.

I went in for a closer look and thought "well how the hell???". Then I realised!!!! woohoo... no frowny face for me!!

The log sheet was saturated so I strolled back to my car added some new paper in a new bag to the container and replaced (after a couple of attempts) it back in its home.

Thanks so much for the cache Parko's.

I’m not enjoying caching at the moment. One from 6 this morning is not funny! Don’t get this one. After surveying GZ I have no idea what the hint means and certainly have no idea where the cache lies. But its been found since I was there so will have to come back.
Thanks anyway.

Found it! Took a while but located it fairly easy

Out caching with Ratbag Family - ingenious! TFTC

All good. Thanks for the clever cache!

Found but couldn't get to it. Needs some maintenence. Very clever!

This cache is stuck. Very ingenious. Extremely clever. But can't log it due to something holding it from moving.

First of its type that I have found. Great hide! TFTC

Goodies & geomutt found it

A tricky one, but it got easier with the hint 'big fish'

I was just sitting at home and enjoying some late afternoon TV when all of a sudden I felt like I had forgotten to do something today...'Hmmm...', I thought.

Then after a few minutes it dawned on me! I was needing to get a geocache for my days found grid. I felt like something a little different tonight and checked for some caches with a few FP's and this one came up in the list.

I jumped in the car and headed out towards ground zero. As it was late in the afternoon and the traffic was non-existent though once getting into the estate it almost felt like there was a street party on as EVERYONE was out playing in the streets.

I started to think that this may have been a bad idea as there were Muggles everywhere. But, I thought that I would give it a go anyways. I found a parking spot and was relieved, and surprised, to see that there was not Muggle in sight. I jumped out of the car and made my way to ground zero.

It was then amazing to see how quickly it got dark today. After ferreting around for 5 minutes, I came up empty handed and now it was to dark to see what I was doing. So I headed back to the car to grab a torch. And, I must say, it was the torch that found this geocache and not I. After being cache blind for the last 5mins, as soon as I turned on the torch it highlighted what I had come here for.

Thanks for the cache Parko's. All is in good order here!

A lack of light as the sun was setting certainly didn't assist in the finding of this one. In the end I just happened to stumble across access to the cache more than actively found it but my name is in the log none the less. TFTC

I was in the neighbourhood finding another new Parko's cache nearby so I thought I should check out this popular cache. I arrived and knowing this was a tracky hide got distracted by the main feature of this location, about 10 minutes later and I was reading through the previous finds and got a good clue, a quick look around and I found something interesting, ah, cool!
Thanks for the cache Parko's!

Wow!! What a clever way to hide a cache. This was a fun find. TFTC.

A clever clue TFTC

This is genius!

In the area and have been wanting to get this one for a while. Great idea for a cache. Have had the same idea myself. Signed clean log sheet and sent the cache back to safety. TFTC.

Log has now been replaced. All good to go

Will take this offline until we can get there to replace log

Found this one this morning. Log very wet. Managed to sign but it just about fell apart in my hand. Nice hiding spot. I spent a long time looking for this one which made it all the sweeter when I spotted it. TFTC

Great hiding spot, loved it

Awesome find for my 10+ souvenier! With egg zachary and mr showcase. Gracias Parko's

out today with poyoco and mr showcase for the souviner rd trip. this was the first on our list, and what an epic start to the caching day. we were looking around for a while with no luck..... evenuatally mr showcase shouts those magic words.... we are all aww struck. thank you so much for placing an amazing cache, and helping to get our day off to a great start.

TFTC Parko's, cool cache. FP from us.

Hahaha very sneaky. You had us walking round in circles Parkos very clever.

Very cool. Took us a while to find this one very sneaky. TFTC Parkos

New log in this one and has been fixed, ready to go. Happy hunting

Council have been busy working in the area.

Will get this one back up as soon as they have moved on.

Taking this offline until we can get to have a look at this one

Foud it easy as it was hanging in a tree in a small tree

I would say.fallen off big tree and some one has picked it off the ground and hanged it in small tree also the bag is broken that log sits in I hanged it up in small tree as could not see where it goes in big tree

Cool find

This took forever to find but I don't know if it was meant to be where I found it

Fallen from original spot

Great find

Second trip and finally found it. Great hide

We arrived just on sunset with little hope of finding the cache. Luckily a nice big spider caught our attention and showed us where the cache was. A great hide and a favourite point from us. TFTC

Searched and searched...

Walked past here the other week but didn't stop as the area was crawling with muggles excavating the sewerage system, maybe...?? Today, they were a bit further away and out of direct sight so we headed in for as look. I didn't realise till we got there and read some logs that this was going to be tricky.
By the hint and clues in logs we guessed the tell tale sign we needed to find but searched all around finding a snake skin, remains of illegal drug smoking devices and lots of debris, but no fish. Great views of the pond with lillypads in full flower. We were on opposite sides of the area and both turned and glanced in a different direction and simultaneously had the..."wait a minute, what's that? moment" . J reeled in the "fish" and I signed the log.
Excited to find a path tag too ( thanks Jandalfan), left spider (just squashed him in).
Excellent hide - really had us tricked for a while. Unexpected favourite.

My first found.. TFTC

Came to walk in the park but decided a detour first for a cache was in order. The water lilies are gorgeous. We spent our efforts in the wrong place at first and noticed we were being watched by a cormorant. He was closer to cache than we were. Our iPhone has been consistently 9-12m out so before leaving we widened our search and lol reeled in the prize. Left a pathtag with a big NZ fish featured. PINO TFTC

Found it on second go - no snakes this time. Great hide tftc parko's

Very Clever!

Why is it we can never get Parko's on our first attempts. Maybe this time it was because geo mum and geo dog were alone and we freaked when we saw a massive python cross our path. We will be back.

Found at 1230.

Wow, what a cool idea for a cache. I was just about to leave empty handed, when a black fish caught my eye. Reel him in, and sign away!
TFTC Parko's!

ps. This is definitely worthy of a 'favourites'.

Found this cache about a month ago and I'm sure I logged it because I remember finding it and how good it was favourite from us.
Tftc

Another awesome cache parko thx.

Very good it took me a little bit being my first. Very good

What a great day - this is the second Parko's cache we have found today that have been bugging us for a long time! This was out third attempt at this one and do have to admit that we did have a bit of help with it. To make things a bit easier too - the whole area has been cleaned up and all the weeds and undergrowth has gone, so there was no worry about any snakes surprising us. We spotted this great hide fairly quickly this time - it is amazing what a difference a change in eye level makes. TNLNSL TFTC

DNF

Arrived at GZ just as it was getting dusk, wandered around for a while before seeing something unusual and started investigating. Wow thats the biggest fish I've ever caught - thank god I didn't have to cook it!! Ingenious idea and gets a favourite point from us. Thanks Parko's

don't get what big fish means ?

What a cracker this one was. Had us all hunting for a while but found eventually. A very clever hide. Thank you. A favourite point from us.

House Sitting in Caloundra for a few weeks so decided to clear up some caches...

Tagged along with Moosetash on a beautiful sunny Queensland day, just right for caching... Good co-ord's helped us find this well hidden cache, stamped log & replaced... We finally managed to find this clever hide... First type of this kind I have seen... Well worth a fave point...

Thanks for the cache Parko's and for bringing me here... Dipped TB's...

We were going to skip this one, but then saw how many favourites it had, so we stopped and checked it out. After a lovely walk we spent some time searching, and then Snap Happy came up with the fantastic hide. Thanks for the effort you have put in to this cache. Giving it a favourite.

Found! Best one yet

Maybe we are the honest type of cachers who aren't afraid to show we can't find things - but it is embarrassing to see that we are the only ones who have logged two DNF's for this one. Oh well - we can see by the logs that it is a good hide, so I guess that means we will be coming back for a third attempt. Maybe someone can take pity on us and give us a few hints!?!

Back up and running

Will get out there ASAP and get this one back up and running

TFTC trying to find this and work out the clue and then finally found it. Loved it, favourite from me TNLNSL

Hi Parko's , sorry to have to inform you but your cache has been broken. Not saying anything in this log that will give away to other searchers, but I imagine you can guess what has happened.

TFTC, found after a considerable search. Wow what a beauty of a cache it is. Favourite point from us.

After a bit of stomping around we saw it and the cache in hand.TFTC. CITO

Needs new plastic bag

Found a while ago but only logging it now.
Everything was all good with this hide when I was here, if anything a bit tight

Booyah Found it! Another one parkos recommended to me at the night cache event several months ago.

An unlikely spot to look but not as difficult to find as the log made it sound. Thought maybe we were looking for a very clever camo cache .. But not really!

Didn't take long to find and it did seem like a big fish at first!

TFTC

Cleverly hidden! I like this one
