It is with sadness that I must archive this cache, due to being informed that the tree is now mulch, and there is no sign of the cache.
I have advised the owner of the travel bug that is shown to have been in the cache.
Thankyou to all those who took the effort of finding this cache.

Met two other lovely people looking for this cache at the same time. A quick find. Thanks for the cache an old hag!
After visiting queens park with the kids, it was time to grab a few on the way home. The kids stayed in the car whilst I ran up the hill, I saw 2 peopke hanging aroubd some trees.. you must be geocachers I mentioned, they confirmed and said you live in such and such st, yes I replied. Nothinh like meeting your neighbours whilst out and about, ythen another fellow came along, it was like a meeting place here this afternoon. Nice to meet you all, quick sign and back to the car. Easy find for me here today as I found the cache in the others hands. Tftc
A new cache in place waiting to be found.
Unfortunately the traveller listed in the cache appears to be gone, along with the old cache, and I have notified the owners of this.

This cache unfortunately has been muggled -- I will get a new cache in place ASAP
This area is quite dangerous. Lots of broken glass and obviously used by addicts.
Just had a look at previous logs, but we did not find anything. The mulch is still in a pile and not under tree. We stopped looking as lots of rubbish and a couple of bongs. Bit scared of needles. Great view, but not a nice area under that tree now. maybe after the do mulch it things will be better. I will return again and give it another go.
Spent some time here with no luck, found a couple of bongs and some broken bottles, disappointed thanks an old hag, I shall return
We were in Ipswich for the weekend for Marco to have a rally drive and hot lap and then for me to have a trip down memory lane, having grown up here. We used to live across the road from this park so it was familiar territory. The cache took a little while to find - the pile of mulch is still in a pile so it wasn't to blame. There is no TB in the cache despite one being listed. TNLNSL TFTC
hi was going to pick up a TB from here but there all gone,
but more important the council have placed a large load of mulch bark to go under the tree i'm guessing
you may need to have a look before they go digging about

Nice touch with the decorations on top
Tftc.
Wish people would log TB's though. 4th cache today without one present after reading that there was!

Another find with detective88.
Up the hill we go, detective88 spots it before i can even blink. Log is full so we put a piece of paper in. The cache was really out in the open away from anything, so we moved it closer to safety.

Great view up there, walked past many times but never taken the time to stop and look. Thanks for the experience!

# 6142 Found on our 2013 winter escape trip to Qld.

Had to be in town today for a course today. Arrived early and as most of us do had a look around for any nearby caches. This one fitted the bill, with a view out over the city. Signed the log and rehid the container. TFTC
Quick find while attending cross country event. No TB in sight. Love the cache container.
seems to have been found by muggles. cache was just lying on the ground. when opened nothing inside however we found log lying on the ground. have put log back into container and hidden. hopefully muggles will not upset again.
Found, while caching around Ipswich.
A good variety of caches, and all well hidden.
Thanks, an old hag for the hunt.

Very nice view and schools had carnival on so had to grab this one real quick.. TFTC..
Found with TriBre and BosNewellgus.
Got a new GPSr yesterday so what better way to test it out than to find some caches.

Another Great day out caching with Mastamak & BosNewellgus, we had done about 30 the day before on the north side of Brisbane and we decided to head towards Ipswich this time.
It was a quick scramble to the top of the hill to locate this cache. The cache was in the first place we looked, even if we did come up the other side we still went to the other side of the tree to start our search. There was a family just leaving the area after what looks like they had a picnic in the park. The area was quiet today as there was no sport on, or at least it had not started yet!
This was the 8th find of 19 finds for the day.

Easy find! TFTC!

Found with stairman1 and geodog. We had just finished the Million Paws Walk and thought we would grab a few around the area. The cache was very exposed. Signed our names then hid it properly. TFTC
Found on my RDO from work. Doing a couple of ippy caches before my appointment which I rocked up to an hour early to. Whoops more cache searching time, YAY. Very nice view from up here, nothing scary to bite me under the hiding material luckily as I dived right in. TFTC old hag
I had just said to my friend to watch out for spiders, when she found the log, together with a Redback.
After struggling to find out way to this cache through a few navigation issues, we almost never made it up the hill in our small ride. We had just enough grunt to make it to the top without looking too ridiculous, and so found a parking spot. The heat was now certainly getting to us, so we vowed to make this one quick. Along the path we spied an prominent formation and made a beeline for it. I arrived first and quickly guessed where the cache would be. My partner in crime came along soon after and too located the hiding spot, letting out a small squeak when noticing the accompanying critters. Inside we found another, though this one was a trackable I decided to take with me.

My first find! I was out with T-Dawg young man. It was the first try of my new Garmin GPS, must learn how to change the map profile!
We parked nearby and it was fun watching my young friend, wander around looking at the GPS but could not work out that it he was looking for two trees. He found lots of two trees that were seperated but none together. Kiddie Look!!!
We eventually found the Cache. T-Dawg took a Winners Medal as his first treasure.
The cache looked a bit empty so I put in Car, Whistle, Bouncy Ball & Yoyo.
Signed the log. Now on the back page.
Caution: As we were returning the Cache, I spotted a broken beer bottle in the scrub. I picked up what I saw and deposited in the bin.
Thanks for the hunt.

I only saw one tree but maybe it was two trees living happily together.
Strolled up the hill in this lovely park and while Guddink and I searched around the base of the magnificent tree, apparently Nurseyjulie was standing on the cache
This seemed like the perfect spot to drop off a geocoin. I'm not a collector so thought perhaps it needed to be dropped somewhere pleasant.

Nurseyjulie has good nerves because she didn't scream when I pointed to the object near her foot.
I haven't moved a TB on for some time so grabbed this one. A good excuse to go caching again.

Walked up the hill to get this one. Checked out around the tree. Scary crawley bugs around! Guddink noted something next to my feet EEK theres more! Ah ha! TFTC
Some 5 to 10 years ago I stood on this exact hill, at this time of year, watching the end of a 500 km charity relay foot run. The run finished in the parking area just below here. Today, just an older lady jogging and walking along the concrete path was the only other person I saw. A quick find. Liberated a TB ("Nessie") and left a landrover TB - hope it can make it down the hill without using 4WD! TFTC.
Nice easy find with the walk up the hill dropped of tb tftc the old hag container never dissapoints

What a spectacular view! The creepy crawls gave us quite a fright! Left a water pistol!
Quite a lovely view from up here, an enjoyable park to visit also. I had one Drip with me while the others slept in the car (such a big adventure!).
Left a small pencil behind. TFTC.

My boyfriend figured out the clue as we were walking and we found the cache pretty quickly after that. We enjoyed the setting sun after we had logged our find, the view is really nice from there. TFTC
Double-timed it up to grab this one then nearly passed out as I have been sick for the past few weeks (suffering major caching withdrawal symptoms). Today was my first day venturing out so grabbed a few of the close by ones I had been hoarding for a rainy day. Great container I put my hand straight on it before I realised it would probably have been smarter to check first. Lots of fun, TFTC!
