Shaving Brush Newmarket, Queensland, Australia

Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

No joy here. Found the tree – and it was flowering which was a nice bonus. Had a good scrounge around in and behind just about everything but came up empty-handed. Lots of hiding spots here, so I might have just missed it. Thanks, jake&bob.

Found the tree. No leave or flower due to winter

Found the tree but no luck finding the cache. Still nice little park.

Easy

Came all the way from the Sunshine Coast to see this rare tree and unfortunately it wasnt in flower and double that no cache could be located.Will add a watch setting and wait for flowering and a "FOUND" log.
Thanks for now Jake&Bob.

Returned today armed with pictures of the tree I was looking for, and this time, with the benefit of daylight and pictures, I found the tree quickly. It's one of the ones I searched in the dark yesterday, but I still had no luck in finding the box

I visited this cache at night time, hoping to be able to find it by torch light. The park was quite dark and creepy and despite looking for some time, I failed to find a cache or even unusual leaves. I'll have to return in daylight to look again, especially as I'd like to find this cache for "An Elementary Challenge".

No idea

No luck

An interesting tree

My first ever find!!! Plus, I was lucky enough to find a duck and ducklings in the creek nearby

Thanks for the cache. It doesn’t help that I’m not from the eastern states so I don’t yet know which are the unusual trees but with persistence and the help of geo hound Tippy Dog, I found it. Thanks

Can’t find it

Cache replaced.

It was a cool find

Another long time spent here looking all over and around the three with "unusual leaves". As others before us, we think it is now missing.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Nooooo

We tried looking but more information maybe required as vegetation growth is very high

My friend and I could not find it either

Found the unusual tree, wonderful colors.
Did not spot any cache.

Looked around for awhile but couldn't find it.

Bush turkey HQ here. Found easily as perhaps the turkeys had scratched it out. Replaced a little more securely.

Great park. In good condition

hunting with dailebird. needs a new log. TFTC

Took awhile to find. Unusual looking plant not native

2063 - I headed out to grab this cache on my way home this evening to continue my finds stretch by another day to bring the current streak to 261 days in a row. I parked up the road and made the short walk through the park to begin the search. I found myself in the open part of the park, and I quickly searched two different places, before I zeroed in on the container at 6:51pm. Thanks for placing the cache here jake&bob.

Still in place
No leave on the tree

Hmm

Nice cache

Nice cache

Second time, survived the east coast low, no pencil though ...

Here with my cousins, took a while finding the right tree as there are no flowers but couldn't find the cache regardless.

On the way back to the car and we found it! Tree has no leaves and co-ordinates are off but in easy once you find the right tree. Needs a bit of tlc but we didn't have anything on us. TFTC!

Found damp and in poor condition. Signed the scrap of paper.

Found it - no leaves on tree today. Put container in a fresh container to keep it dry. Needs a new pencil or pen.

Tftc

Had to google name of tree because it wasn't in blossom, but found it pretty quickly after!

Tftc! Nice and educational, but the lid is missing and ants and some rain have gotten to the papers.

Without the said tree being in bloom, it was hard to see the relevance of the shaving brush. Our gps told us that gz was in the middle of the park so we had to choose left or right. Being botanically challenged, we chose the incorrect direction first and searched there. We then went to the other side and found the cache quite quickly. TFTC

Didn't take long to find this one. A fun find. TFTC!

The cache is missing its lid and needs some maintenance I think! TFTC

It didn't take long to have my hands on the cache. Container has seen its better days as the lid was missing. TFTC j&b

Quick stop on our way home- tftc

First one that I havent found! Possibly hard while flowers are not in bloom with bouncing coordinates bummer

Didn't have any clue and spent ages searching

Still a few leaves..added some waterproof paper!

Unfortunately still could not find this cache

Jai Es rob dsingh - our new favourite plant !!

Smilie #3102

Decided to cross the river & see what we could find!
Co-ords were jumping about a fair bit but a quick find nevertheless.
This cache needs replacing or archiving.
The cache, in it's current state, is little more than litter.

TFTC jake&bob

Either gone or really hard

GPS was bouncing all over the place, but managed to find it after searching a few spots. TFTC

Yay. Double digits for me. Nice easy find in a secluded spot. If only I had a picnic. Container needs replacing or weather proofing.

Took a while but got there in the end! Found some cool stuffwhile looking like a tyre swing

Found today after a trek! Thanks for the cache. The bush name helped! TFTC

An awesome sunny day for caching and Dawesy321, Genyo and I set off across town to the Enogerra reservoir and Mt Nebo areas.

I didn’t contribute much to the first cache of the day apart from misdirecting the driver to the wrong side of the creek. Then I laced up my boots while D&G located the cache. A good start to the day

On we rolled…

TFTC Wingaap!

Genyo, Ms Maddy and I parked at what we thought was a suitable location but it ended up making the trek to the cache much, much harder. At GZ we had to do a google before knowing where to look for the cache. TFTC!

Container has no lid and needs replacing.

Parked near GZ. Only had a short look before some fellow geocachers came into the park. Not long after the cache was in hand. Signed and put back in place. As earlier logs say the lid is missing. TFTC.

After treating my mum and sister to Mexican i insisted we go down the road to find a cache- their very first caching experience. As we approached GZ there was what appeared to be a muggle sitting right next to where we needed to be. Standing near him and whispering for an awful long time, while he pretended to tie his shoelaces, i finally decided he was probably a fellow cacher as my family went off in the completely wrong direction, our fellow caching friend retrieved the container. Unfortunately, we both didn't have a new container for the cache, but it definitely needs replacing. Would love to come back in Spring and check out the unique flowers, tftc.

Found it though I had to google the species of tree

It took me a little while to find this one. The lid is off and the log as previously mentioned is impossible to sign. I signed the piece of paper that Sezz and Tdimdad put in there. Nice area. TFTC!

Just a note to visit a TB that was missed.

I had previously been to look for this one and had no luck, but had to give up a little earlier then expected so didn't get to look around as much as I would have wanted. This time round we still looked around the wrong tree for a while (same one I searched last time) as it seemed the most appropriate place and where the GPS was pointing. Once we couldn't search any more I finally got Tdimdad to google the tree we were looking for and once we got it it wasn't long before I spotted it. Same bad condition as described in previous log, still with no lid. Wasn't prepared so didn't have a replacement with me, and the log was unusable. Took photo proof and put our names on a piece of paper we provided. TFTC!

Out with Sezzz grabbing some early morning finds.
This one had some recent DNF's but we didn't let that deter us but decided to give it a go.

The smartiephone compass put us in a spot that could well host a cache but there was nothing there, nothing at all.

A bit of googling followed and we refocussed our search on a different spot, 10+ m away. After checking a few options there Sezzz uncovered a very battered and weary container.
No lid, the log totally unusable. A photo taken and can be provided if needed.

Anyway, a find is a find, and this little corner of the city looks really nice. TFTC, jake&bob!

Tobo and kojo

Found what we think is the tree but didnt find the cache. Not overly successful first attempt

Team KAN unsuccessful

I happened to come down a nearby street to do a u-turn and recognised this park as having a cache I'd tried unsuccessfully to find once before. I had a little time to spare so decided to have another look.

The first time I came here it was winter and the tree had no flowers so I couldn't identify it. Now it's summer and the flowers have long since bloomed and died and I still had no idea which tree is the one I needed. I remembered reading a previous log that said the cache is actually several metres south of the coordinates so I searched the same area again. Once again all the leaves look perfectly normal to me. It was just sheer luck that I spotted something that's often used to hide caches and voila, there it was

As so many others have said, the log is a soggy mess. I tried opening it to see if I could sign in the middle but it started disintegrating so I just took a photo instead (ironically one of the reasons I was in the area was to go to Officeworks and buy a waterproof notebook but I did this cache first ). The lid is also broken and unfortunately it flew off when I prised it open and I was unable to find it again.

I put the cache back in the same spot but not on the ground in an effort to keep it drier. Sorry about the lid, if I can get back over here any time soon I'll replace the whole thing.

TFTC
The log book is in very bad condition all wet

Very tricky until I found the leaves. Tftc

TFTC! And thanks for the picture of the flower. Our gps is not really accurate and the trees had no flowers so we had to look at the dead flowers on the ground to find which tree it was. When you know where to look, it was easy to find the cache

Here was a friend of min with the target to log some caches on her trip. Many thanks to here and the owner for this cache.

Thanks for the Cache. We have found the Cache and log it. Now: tolle Blüten .

Found it, knowing the tree species was helpful. We forgot a pen so.. No log. But we'll be back to log out find.

Awesome flower tree.
TFTC

Tacos

Started looking in the wrong area but soon found the tree I was looking for. Beautiful in pink. Quick find, signed new log and stamped TB. Tftc

Log book replaced.

That's certainly one strange tree! The geotween very happy to find it on his first day after our disappointing go with the one further down the creek.

searched at first at the wrong place because coordinates were a little somewhere else but then I saw the "Leaves" Nice little cache!

Great little cache good clues

Tftc!

First one of the afternoon! Awesome help from my geokids!

TFTC! I just moved to the area and haven't been geocaching for over a year. Good excuse to get out and explore.

I have been a bit slack logging my finds. Found this on the way home from a day of unsuccessful finds (I will be going back again to search for those others soon) . It had been raining all day, but had more or less stopped by the time I got here. It was the wrong time of year to search for those unusual leaves, but a kookaburra flew in just as I arrived in the park and landed just above the cache. I didnt want to disturb it, so I looked elsewhere. Finally, the "cache guardian" flew away and I was free to retrieve the cache. Signed the log and returned it to its hiding spot

Found it. Like everybody else, couldn't sign log.

Harder in winter

Return visit. Previously found with JaffaJ. This time found some friendly ants. Log still damaged.

Logbook needs replacing!! thanks anyway though

TFTC

A quiet place to visit at lunch. Unable to sign log to due condition of log. Tftc

Log book is soaked.

Easy find. While well hidden.

Easy find, was not able to sign due to condition.
Thanks.

Hi. The log is completely saturated. The container is broken and the bag containing the log is ruined. Unfortunately I am not a serious cacher with spare parts so I was not able to assist in any way.
Chris

Thanks. The log is wet and needs replacing.

Found it! The logbook is unfortunately all wet and ruined.
