The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Not found since 2016

Hasn't been found since 2016

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Spent ages, but no luck

Disappointing not to find this one. Last finder said they replaced it in a more discrete location! Did they realize it's a D1.5 [?] It hasn't been found since they re-hid it. So must be a pretty good hiding spot
On my watch list it goes

The new cache down the hill eluded us so we tried to beat the rain up the hill to grab this one. Geodaughter beat us to this one too. What a lovely park in a lovely area. TFTC

Third find for today, shelter greatly appreciated during a shower! Easy find, but not very well hidden, replaced in a more discrete location. Tftc

TFTC quick look and had cache in hand. Although cheeky magpie had a few swoops at me when I left the cover of the shelter

Quick easy find. Beautiful spot! TFTC

Found it, lovely park! Tftc :^)

Found after a thorough inspection!

TFTC!
One of the favourite playground of my nephew.

Nice easy find whilst in this suburb seeing clients.
TFTC

Great hide and an amazing view! Thanks for placing and maintaining

Finally after three attempts

Nice find on a Sunday morning

Nice quick find. Area muggle free.

The geodog was sending signals to let me know that a visit to a dog park was in order. This one fitted the bill nicely. The dog park was empty and there were not many people around so I was able to undertake a thorough search. Even so, this one nearly defeated me.

The cache is in good order. Thanks, geckomaster62!

I used to go to school at the bottom of the hill all those years ago and walk home through this park....miss those days.

Just finished gym session and thought I'd look for my first cache in my own. Lucky it was easy. Tftc

Love this park quick and easy find tftc

Nice Easter party in the park. Kids are on the jumping castle... So I went for a walk up the hill

Easy find by geo nana

I was riding my bike to uni and needed a C for a challenge so decided to stop here.

After sitting in the picnic area admiring the view and waiting for a muggle and her dog to leave the adjacent off-leash area, I was finally able to begin my search.

It didn't take too long. There are only so many places one can hide a cache here. I signed the log and replaced the cache before continuing my ride.

TFTC geckomaster62

Looked and Looked but did not find it. Did see a gecko though, I guess that's something!

What a view! Nice just to sit here for a few mins on a quiet Sunday morning... also helped to fool the dog-walking muggle into looking away... a quick grab, signed. Now, how to get it back? Maybe I can get a better view like this? Stretch... done! TNLN, TFTC

The hint is hidden in plain sight of the cache name; very clever. In Brisbane for a few business meetings and staying with a mate in Norman Park, up early so thought I would grab a few local caches. Wondered a bit to get the GPS to settle and then saw the cache. signed and sealed. TFTC

Nice easy walk to the GZ and quick find. TFTC.

Thanks nice location.A quick find with my grandson:)

Had fun hunting for this: took me a while. Cache is in pristine condition! Thanks for showing me this great park, cool dogs and excellent view

Found it

This way my first time in this park and the view is really nice.

We actually found this cache yesterday but forgot to log it. Really good find

Quiet Sunday at the park and a quick find

A couple of days in Brisbane house sitting and ttoday I decided to get out and find a few local caches. I lived in Brisbane for many years before moving a little further north and I never knew some of these parks and walking trails existed. A very pleasnat day with a little bush bashing thrown in. Tftc geckomaster62

TFTC.

Came by day with my Muggleson as I have been twice before in the night and left without a cache. Today was my lucky day and I found it before Muggleson, signed the log and it is smiling back now. TFTC

Well it is Monday morning and today's cache was on my'to do' list of Monday morning caches before I get off to work. It is getting quite rare for me to go in search of a cache that my fellow clan of cachers has not found yet- yay for me. Lovely park. Love all the doggy pictures. Can see why you come to this place. Might have to get up high for the best view of the city skyline. Thanks for the cache.

Had a good hard look, but couldnt find it today

Great views from here. Nice and quiet on a Saturday morning.

TFTC

Found it

After two DNFs and an attempt thwarted before we even began, this cache had become our nemesis. Tonight we realised that it was our last chance to grab a smiley here before we emigrate to Canada next week.

We arrived at GZ and I had the cache within a minute. It certainly wasn't there on our previous visits! Just as I was putting the log back in the cache some young Muggles arrived smelling of alcohol so we're hightailed it out of there pretty quickly.

With success here tonight we can leave Australia having found every cache we have attempted. We have particularly enjoyed your caches, geckomaster62, and I'm a little sad we won't have time to find them all. Thanks for the fun!

We visited twice while the cache was missing, and once were muggled out. Fourth time lucky, eh?

Second visit, this time muggle free & a quick find. TFTC
Great view through the trees!

Found in good condition. I agree that the name of the cache is the best clue. Thanks geckomaster.

Found it heaps of muggles around luckily the 2 closest to us had quite a few drinks already so think we slipped under their radar

After a couple of DNFs it was good to come to this one and find it had recently been replaced and was not too difficult to find. Watched a nice young Border Collie exercise its owner while we were there. It was only while logging these finds that I realized there is still another one we haven't tried yet. TFTC

Found with GEOKID whilst admiring 'Dogs' galore. What a time for the pen to fail. Love the pic of the dog on the inside of the cache.

Finally after a few dnf's

On my way to work and thought I would see if I could find this one quickly. Luckily it was in the first place I looked. TFTC geckomaster62!

We loitered around GZ for a while just on sunset, but there were far too many muggles nearby for us to make a proper examination. We pulled all the usual stealth moves - Persimoirre took photos, and I tied my shoelaces about five times - but we just couldn't get a result.

We'll be back under cover of darkness to undertake a more thorough search.

All good to go!

It seems this one has gone missing.

Didn't find it although did find geckomaster 62. It appears this cache has gone walkabout. Look forward to the new one.

Second attempt at this one, and brought my cache eyes with me this time!! Nice easy find, can't work out how I missed it before haha tftc

TFTC

First night time cache! Tashbo along for the ride. What a freaking amazing view !

TFTC.

I had one hour spare so came here for a second look. After about five minutes of trying the same things I tried last time I spied it. I am not sure it is in the correct spot based on the cache container but still happy to have found it. I left exactly as I found it incase it is the correct spot. Container is broken but held together temporarily. Tftc.

Looked absolutely everywhere here and have a feeling it is no longer here.

DNF but not gonna give up. Just checking this cache is still here ???

Out and about on a beautiful day, caching with Couchmen and two of my kiddies in the Brisbane area. Did some walking, and some of the Gecko series. Some great hides found for the day. My thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches. Appologies for the late logs, doing some heavy duty catching up.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Took a little while, but we eventually got it. No muggles today. TFTC.

Out today with Blacklegend and 2 of his children on a perfect caching day.

We had just finished finding the caches up the top of the Belmont Reserve and some along Old Cleveland Rd when we decided to change our original plan and head north instead.

It was a real surprise when I saw the area we were heading into as I had just been here the other day while some of the family were in town.

I had no idea we were this far north but it was nice to come back and try and finish off more of the area.

I had visited this one but hadn't even tried a serious search as the place was flooded with dogs and owners, one of which was too interested in what I was doing, so I was pleased to see that the was NO ONE in the area today.

The kids stayed in the car as they were tiring from a good few caches so Blacklegend and I headed to GZ.

We searched for a little while taking in mind and sight the cache name then The Legend came up with the prize.

Thanks GeckoMaster TFTC SL Thanks for the great view too!!!

Right about the view. TFTC

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Found by bennybopper kids with lisylou and misssusan79 good one kids

A nice view. Found with Lisylou and the BennyBoppers kids.

Nice view from the city here. Found with misssusan and junior bennyboppers. The table is a but dodgy. Tftc.

As we approched GZ we spotted some muggles sitting in the area that we thought would be most likely. A little disappointed we waited a minute or two and they soon left. We search down low and had no luck. I then reached out and made a quick grab. Signed the log and we were off to start the Gecko Trail. TFTC

Had to wait for muggles to leave our much needed gz. Got it!

sorry we were not here at the right time of day to meet Cosmo, but I have one of his cousins at my brother's home so am used to the sight of a curly haired brown dog
Fantastic to see the city skyline from this angle
thanks for another great cache

I remember here for the Event in barefoot bowling. Lovely views. I bet Cosmos loves a run here.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks geckomaster62 All good with this cache

Great views! Out caching with Aussie Liahona, Bristracker and Team Benders after event this morning. Seems like a place Cosmo would very much enjoy. Great hide too. TFTC

After rising while it was still very dark this morning to be able to arrive under the Story Bridge for the spring solstice event today we had a very early start. What to do?? A bit of geocaching before heading home of course. This was our second geckomaster62 cache today and another good one. Having determined probable area of GZ, when we parked the car, Karenhippo made the quick find here. Cache was found in excellent condition. TFTC! [^][^]

We search a while for this little cache, but we eventually found it!

We think it was replaced in the wrong place by the previous cacher, so we put it back where we thought it was suppose to be...

Note for next geocachers : don't disassemble the bench!

!!!!!!!"

Took a bit of a hunt in between muggle dog owners but found eventually. TFTC and for the view.

quick find, tftc

Out and about with Mastamak, Jelly_Fish, DaisyLexie, Sar Bear, MonkeyJess, CacheLord and BosNewellgus. I had been looking to release a TB to Celebrate a Wonderful person in my life, my Mother.

After releaseing my TB, we moved on to a cache with a view, what a view it is. On a clear night like tonight the view of the city is fantastic.

This was the 2nd find of 4 finds for the night. (Sorry for the late logs I am trying to catch up)

TFTC geckomaster62 #2024

Found with TriBre, MonkeyJess, SarBear, DaisyLexie and BosNewellgus.

Had to make a return visit to collect my GPSr that was left on the table.

TFTC.

Found with Dad (Mastamak) and others. Thanks for the cache.

Thank you for placing this cache for us to find. Love your work.=) =D DaisyLexie

Found with my Dad (Mastamak). TFTC

A quick and easy find.

Loved the view. TFTC

I feared this was going to be my second miss. It started drizzling again which enabled me to stay undercover without arousing the suspicion of the nearby dog walkers. Ironically the benches were too wet to sit on which worked in my favour and enabled me to make a quick find while enjoying the view. Now....off to that train station. Thanks for the cache.

Met the man himself walking Geodog at this one today.
Nice to put a face to the name Geckomaster. TFTC

Second attempt, this time on the way to work by myself. Once I knew the last attempt was incorrect, I had a more straight forward look and quickly had the cache in hand. TFTC.

Not today, but shan't be long! A quick stop by whilst out performing cache maintenance revealed what we thought may have been the remnants of the cache, but after consultation with the CO, found out this was a previous version of the cache, and that we still had a little search ahead! Looking forward to it, GM62! We shall be back!!

I had been here earlier in the day but a muggle couple would not move on. Hence with the afternoon almost over I returned with a coffee to cover my tracks, after consuming most of the cup the cache eventually disclosed itself

After the Ms Maddy's garden party Dansync and Dr THR were clearing out some caches in the area. By now we were getting tired and suffering from cache blindness. We sat and rested between searches. Thankfully a hind from a friend helped us with this one. TFTC GM62. Love the view of the city skyline.

Great view in a lovely park. Thanks.

found it

Oh dear not another geckomaster62 cache - 3rd time here. 3rd DNF for the morning.

Fairly easy find. Found the greatly camouflaged cache in about 2 minutes. Great view of the city. TFTC GM62.

Out to complete the infamous 'Gecko Trail' today so arrived early to pick up a few others nearby. As I approached GZ who should be lurking nearby but the CO! Laughing at me for looking so conspicuous!
After a nice chat, and being left to my own devices I went into stealth mode and nabbed this one while muggles weren't watching. Nice little hide thanks.

Founding my 2nd bike ride around this area. Perfect day day for caching, started early and going to get a fair few in.

Found cache quickly. Looks like the local school might be doing their cross country in the park. Glad I started early.
