Looks like this one is gone. I'm not replacing caches in the suburbs any more, so putting this one to rest.

No luck here today
 
25-Jan-18
Felt like looking for a few caches, so put my geodog Scruffy in the car and headed to Ipswich for the day.
Looked in tree at GZ and just about every other tree nearby and the bushes along the fence. But no luck.
Will try again when next in area.

Cache found but slightly wet, so we've tried to clean and dry it out, but if future finders have a silica bag to donate then this cache would certainly benefit. Took the cupcake for a sandwich

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

Today we headed into Ipswich for appointments and of course managed to find your cache with a few others. Wink

Great weather for Geocachers today so why not go to the Ipswich area. Patrol14 has joined us.

We were on our way back to Brisbane when we decided we had enough time to visit the war memorial site and look for a cache too. Found nothing at GZ so read previous logs about the hint still being true and followed out Geocaching senses and located the cache.

Log signed and replaced. Found at 5.55pm on 26th August 2017. TFTC, ManicWombat.
 
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.

After a successful day caching around Ipswich, on the way home stopped here for one more.

Parked nearby and took the walk to GZ. Looks like the hide has gone but cache has moved about 15m to another similar hide.
Logbook signed and cache returned to its hide.

I was out this way helping my parents move some stuff into their new house. It looks like I will be seeing a lot of the Bundamba (oops! I was spelling it "Bundambah") area from now on.

A quick stop to grab this cache before heading back to the Gold Coast. It was getting dark so I quickly flashed the torch into the right spot and grabbed the cache.

With the cache signed I checked out the memorial before heading off.

Thanks for the cache ManicWombat. Nice one!

We were returning home after breakfast in Brisbane and decided to stop here as we like Caches with a military there. This country has some great war memorials and this is no exception. The Lone Pine, pine tree here was our highlight.
After wandering around the park and reading all about the memorials we made our way to GZ. Here we made a quick find and added our name to the log book.

Thanks ManicWombt for giving us a reason to stop here.

We took the Jack's TB and will keep it moving.

Find #1198 at 12:25 with the kids while on the way to an afternoon out at the Railways Museum.

As we were driving along, I glanced at the map and mentioned that "there's a cache in there". MissGeosie insisted we stop for it. I tried to suggest that we were on a tight schedule, but no, she'd made up her mind, and really, who am I to argue with a smiley anyway?

The iPhone GPS was all over the place but we headed straight to the obvious spot and found ourselves a cache. The log is ever so slightly damp but we had no problem at all signing. The cache itself is bone dry.

After replacing the cache, I gave the kids a bit of a tour of the park and a brief explanation of the role of the various armed forces before we continued on our way.

Thanks for the cache, ManicWombat.
