Football Fever - North Melbourne Lawnton, Queensland, Australia
By Eco & Rev on 13-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3GP10

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This cache seems to be missing. Has been needing some TLC for quite some time now but hasn't seen any love from CO. This one probably needs to be put to rest.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Just for the record, the last find was on 30-11-14. Chanellewaru posted a late log and according to her note she made the find on 11-9-14. I think this cache has been MIA for quite some time now.

I think this one is in need of CO intervention. See previous postings.

2nd DNF on this one. Looked and looked then noticed Muggles staring through a fence at me so thought I should leave !

With Rhyssa6. This is another in this series that we were unable to find. We searched every tree without luck.

Found with hatz whanau tftc late log

Aussie mozzies are the worst! Mosquitoes by the thousands here. They sent me a thank you note for they must have enjoyed the scent of my mozzie spray. Beginning to think Football Fever is not my thing.

Hum I think we are going to dream about these paper trees for quite a lot of time. We were really determined to find it but did not...

Had a quick walk in the church before I realised there is a park next door. This took quite a bit of searching the trees before latching onto the container. TFTC, my first of the football series.

Having been here several times previously and searched *all* the trees thoroughly, I was glad to find this one today. It really couldn't have been easier, it was perched in the tree sticking out of the fork, rehid with more cover. TFTC

Lucky find by reelistic. TFTC:)

This one wrapped around my finger. I was so surprised. With tomorrow

Tftc, it was on the ground when we found it. Put it in the paper tree.

TFTC - found on ground put "not found on ground"

Working nearby so took the opportunity to find . D

Sahhh tiny!

Freddo began our case of Football Fever today, starting with North Melbourne. He was glad of the hint here. TNLNSL Thanks for another cache Eco & Rev

Well hidden - another found in this series TFTC

I was keen to put my football fever to rest today, but sadly it didn't happen here. After a fairly lengthy search all around, I called it quits. Hope it's still there somewhere.

No luck today. Magpies gone. Plovers in residence now.

Quite a belated one here. Out with the mooselings for some holiday caching in the area. Thankfully there were a few here to bump up the numbers. Another in the series while clearing up the locale. tftc Eco & Rev

Found with Liz and Bruce.

Happily we were out caching with one of our caching friends Urdera who we met on our first visit to Queensland some 8 years ago. Steve certainly hasn't lost his mojo even though he has not done much caching in the intervening years as he managed to find many of the caches we went to today. Nice hide, we enjoyed the search and find. [^][^] Cache has shrunk to a micro. Thanks to Eco & Rev.

Spider webs, magpies and nests in trees had me a little frazzled. Couldn't find it, but will be back!!!

Edited to fix date

Found it after 40 minutes. 3 trees down and on the ground. Put it back.
TFTC
With GuroF and Blessysh!

Found on the ground, returned to it's rightful place. tftc

After spending quite a while looking for it with a few other geocachers who just happened to be there, we logged a DNF and headed back to the car. Only to find it on the ground some distance away from GZ. Logged the find then returned it to proper place. TFTC

Ekka day! That means a midweek chance to get out and get caching! Hooray! We decided that we would knock off some of the football fever caches that hang around Lawnton staring at us when we look at our map. Attempted North Melbourne last. Unfortunately 10 minutes of searching did not come up the goods. Maybe next time

Thanks for the cache!

Lets try over here

Should be good to go.

Moved to a better location.

Need advise

Moved to a new location.

The offending item has been removed and disposed of as a hazardous waste.

Found this and YUCK. Massively contaminated cache. Filled with a snaplock bag of blood. URGENT maintenance required. Maintenance log completed. Obviously didn't sign logbook. TFTC though, shame it had to be destroyed by local idiots.

Will check out.

That is such a shame grrrr. I hope the cache can be restored.

It is such a shame, because my family and I have really enjoyed finding this trail of caches. Thanks to Eco and Rev for responding so quickly.

Yuck! Contaminated cache! See Maintenance log date was 12/Jan/2014

Urgent maintenance required! Looks like blood inside!

Some junkies thought it would be fun to put blood in the canister, wouldn't recommend visiting again!

Found it but didn't sign log. The cache and log book bag had yucky brown liquid in it. Needs some maintainence.

Parked in what was probably the wrong spot and admired (was amazed) by the local's windchime and 'stuff' collection on their front patio... wow!! Made our way to GZ and quickly came up a winner

tftc

That is a serious collection nearby, be amazed!
Another cache down in our Pine Rivers caching adventure!

Time for another go at these football caches. Grabbed as a thunderstorm throated. Lightning & thunder, but sod all rain. TFTC

Nice little place to stop for the kids to play. Geo kids took tank left pencil topper. TFTC

Went in a little too far looking for the cache and got a mouthful and hair full of tree! While evading the muggle across the road and pulling tree bits out I saw its little hidey place! TFTC!

Park was fun for us big kids haha done with JasmineHayley

Dropping in a Virtual Trackable.

Out at a scout meeting quick find

Found fairly quickly. Took note of the number. Tftc

Good one, a lot more secluded than I first thought. Snagged our first bug. Good stuff.

With a few hours to kill before a puzzle/coffe catch up I decided to try and squeeze in some footy. This was the first game for the day. The trees screeened me from a few kids playing in the park Dropped off a TB.

found it! the park was nice except for the kids hanging around
Thanks

The trees in the area seemed to have been planted with a ruler.
TFTC!

Yay ... after a couple of frustrating return DNF I found this one easily. Took some Nice photos of the 'avenue'. Left writing stick and ring. TFTC

Determined to getto 150 finds today. .. 2 of 9 done

Completed maintenance. New log ready to go again.

Tftc - nice & dry now! Thanks for a great holiday!!! Xxxxoooo

Log needs replacing torn and wet

Found Ok

Found, while taking a drive around the area.
Enjoying the football hides.
Well hidden, log wet.
Thanks, Eco & Rev for the hunt.

What better way to get just a little more wet then you already are from the rain then to go in under a bunch of trees to grab a cache.

This one is one that Ms Maddy already had so she gave me a gentle hint and sent me out in the rain for this one alone. It took me a little longer to find then it should, but was found none the less.

TFTC

Quick and easy find with Mzuri thanks for the fun.

Wet and the log is hard to open without damaging it more. Busy park but I think I did okay being discreet in my orange fluoro safety vest.

It was dusk when I arrived here and parked Sooty nearby. Lucky as this is quite a muggley spot and there were peeps in front yards.

A couple of laps of the tree as it blended in well

Nabbed the cache, my last of the day, and headed back home to the southside. I will be back to complete the series.

TFTC Eco & Rev!

Quick one before the area filled with school kiddies!
Thanks for the cache!
I may have signed every logbook with the 7th not the 6th... D'oh and Sorry!

Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH .

Nice easy find - had to wait a while because there were quite a few muggles across the street, but got there in the end TFTC.

Nice park,tftc

Tftc

TFTC

TFTC. Good hint

3rd and final find today getting to hot to be out there, this was a nice cool spot lots of shade trees and mozzies TFTC

Good find contents a little damp Thanks

On top of ground , not covered, bit damp in there ....easy one though all covered now TFTC

No problems here the location is very subtle. Left a sew-on-patch, signed log and finished for the day.

TFTC

Bit wet inside the cache. TFTH

At last - we found it! Yay! 4th time lucky.

Found it very easily this time. 1 to go in the series.

Thanks Eco & Rev

Having decided to fill in our calendar for finds on each day of the year, we headed off to find a few caches today to fill in a square. The cache was easily found and with the log quickly signed, we were off again in our cache mobile to our next adventure. Thank you for having placed the cache Eco & Rev

I was back up north for another dose of Football Fever today
The season's over, but the supporter's caches live on through summer

I hopped on the pushbike to get to GZ.
Bounding along across the lawns I endeavoured to take a short cut through the goal posts
It was a bit tricky with all the pine cone shaped footballs getting under the bike wheels, but I made it in the end [:o)]

TFTC and Oooo Roo !!

Thanks for the cachers who advised that this had gone. Council had obviously done a huge cleanup. Cache is now replaced.

I couldn't even attempt this cache as there were muggles in the park. I had to keep on driving. TFTH Eco & Rev

Geoson and I came by here on Wednesday evening to find this cache, but after about 10 minutes and we hadn't found it we thought we'd come back when we had light.

Came back this morning with brownsnakemob in tow and spent a good half an hour looking here, there and everywhere and unfortunately couldn't find it.

It has been about 4-5 weeks since it was last found, wondering if it has since been muggled.

nice spot found TFTC

great hide took me a bit to find it TFTC

Second team this morning. Another walk, are they all down the end of parks? Could be a long day
Thanks, Robmc.

First of the 18 football caches found today with Robmc. We also found 3 finals so it was a good day out and timely visit on the cusp of the 2012 finals too.
"Join in the chorus and sing it one and all"
TFTC

at 14:44. 2nd for the afternoon. Cyndi brought some bags for pine needle mulch.

TFTC again Eco & Rev. This cache is also fine.

Took a while to locate the cache, eventually found it, only wish I'd had a bag to gather all the pine cones.
Thanks Eco & Rev.

The walk to this one brought back memories of a cache I had placed many years ago where you had to count trees to get to the cache.

It took me way too long to uncover the cache. I must have moved every leaf except the ones covering the cache before it appeared

On a day of caching from Caboolture, doing the Footy Fever Series today.
This a great series for footy fans
Thanks Eco & Rev

Stpped by to drop off TB

Decided today was the day for some AFL. Found after a short stroll, left a micro GC for the next cacher. On to the next team TNSL TFTC
