Paid a visit to the park. Walked up to cache location and it was different from what I had last seen it. Seems like council planted more trees and removed the cache. Not supporting or not supporting the archival of the listing, but cache is gone and location has drastically changed.

Hi MaTaTre5,

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 30 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 30 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.

dont know if it is the cache pr not but container has basically trash inside.

cache missing or filled with rubbish.

Cache is definitely not gone, looks like somebody just put tons of camoflauge on it.

Either too well hidden or has been muggled.

I think I found the cache... it was a sistema container with a blank log book and some old snap lock bags, totally exposed... that’s it... nothing else... I’ve put the log into a new snap lock bag, closed the container properly and added some natural camo... tftc...

TFTC found 6m away from ground zero.

Left Indonesian coin.

found it

Dnf

I do not have enough description to find it

Thanks

Very dirty container but tftc

Was a cute and easy find for the kiddos

Was a bit off path. Under something.

????

Nice walking path

Cache 101 find GG tells to stop walking past the hiding places... I think I need new glasses... especially as this one way a bit in the open...

Loving this Mental Health Monday caching. This park is absolutely massive. Cache was very exposed. Have concealed it somewhat. Otherwise it is in perfect order. TFTC

This one was a little far away from the hints so possibly moved

found it

good hiding spot

Earlier in the week the weather forecast for today had been rain and possible storms, so plans for a hike today had been put on hold. Lo and behold I wake up this morning to sunny skies, so I decided to head out for a morning of caching to take advantage of the favourable conditions. This was one of the caches I managed to find on my outing.

I decided to leave the car where I had parked it for the previous cache and head over on foot to this cache. Plenty of walkers out this morning but I managed a long enough break in between to look for the cache unhindered by passers by. Eventually spotted the cache and stamped my name in the logbook. TFTC.

Found

Kids enjoyed this one

First ever geo cache found, was fun

Our last for the day. We did have a late start and this makes it 10 out of 10. Happy with that
We crossed the road from the last one, which was going to be our last, but just couldn't leave with this one so close by.
We were impressed by the boardwalk in here. Seems like it's a popular walking area for locals too.
We looked in a few places before finding cache. Log signed and cache replaced as found.

1st find of the day. Thank you


Team Madhatter

Found it good spot that didn’t take too long to find

TFTC

Don’t over think it...just keep searching and it will pop up.

After expanding the search area I found it tucked away safely. Left mini ravioli and toothpaste but took nothing.

Found the upright dead tree but was unable to find the log.

Got it. TFTC

Found. GPS off.. little to the left.

TeamNoobies is on a roll today. Three caches done. Kids are enjoying it. TFTC

Easy fun took small tennis ball but didn’t add anything

After scratching around for a bit I had the cache in hand. Tftc

What a lovely park.
Love that's it's not at the obvious.
All dry.
TFTC

DNF, was losing light fast. Was 1830 when we left.

It was very well hidden in the brush. Our very first geocache find.

Skated down to this one from a few streets away.

After thoroughly searching what I thought was the obvious spot, I expanded the search zone and spotted the cache a few metres away. Tried not to break the spider’s web blocking the easy way to the cache.

TFTC!

Last find in a morning of caching.
Short walk to the coordinates and once there it was a quick find for me.
No trades or swaps
Thank you for hiding here

Tftc. Swapped a whistle for a figurine.

Tftc trying to avoid the muggles bit all good

Quick stop here and last cache for the day. Thanks for the cache. The first place we looked was housing a huge cane toad!
Lucky I didn’t have to put my hand in there

Easy due to exposure. Hopefully it is a little better covered.

Easy little find, nice place too

On arrival I realised I’ve been here before! ️ must have forgot to online log. Log has been wet and pages are stuck together so couldn’t check previous find date. Signed log, swapped butterfly rubber for green shopkins character . Tftc!

Found it

Caching in the dark so made it a little challenging but geohubby finally found it just before we had to leave. TFTC

Thanks - few big webs about but easy enough when you read the map

With not many clues you may think it’s difficult. But in the right location I was able to LOG the find.

Busy walkway today. The cold and rain didn’t keep the muggles away.

Ah, the caching day that almost never was.

The alarm went off early and I was hoping for a quick start but my wife had other ideas. I wasn't expecting my daughter to actually get out of bed but she was ready as well and we had a delayed start from Redcliffe. The next conundrum was to pick up my son from North Lakes after a night on the sherbets. He didn't have his phone with him (probably the only 20 year old on the planet not to exist without a device) and it was only by luck that we saw him about to start the walk home because we were running late.

We made our way to Nudgee for some coffee and hash browns and I went to select this cache for the navigator when the app crashed on my iPhone. No worries, we have 3 Android phones in the car. They all decided to crash as well. The app was down and our plans were in ruin. We hung in the car park for 20 minutes trying to work out what to do. In the end I decided we should just go home because it's sometimes hard enough to find a cache when you are being directed to it let alone just pick any old park to search in.

It was too early for the shops to be open and we started the drive home and everyone was complaining about having to get out of bed early and not getting lunch.

"You're still buying us lunch later Dad, right?"
"Nope! No caches means no lunch"
"Dad you're old and busted"

The family kicked into overdrive researching other possible ways to find caches and my wife made me call 4ando to check if they were down as well. They were, but Slow Puncture mentioned that c:geo was working and all the phones in the car went into overdrive. Dad shouting lunch is a powerful motivator. By the time we reached Sandgate my son claimed he could make it work and so we fought through the roadworks to turn around.

With some navigation and training on c:geo en-route we found ourselves at GZ and with a small walk through the bush had a cache in hand when it looked like the day was over before it began. With my daughter as part of the touring party today it wasn't long before we found ourselves in the playground having a spin. tftc

Found with the geokiddies. New logs are in good condition.

Hard!!!!!

Could not seem to get close to where this was supposed to be today.

Good hide m8

I really liked this cache

TFTC, quick find after spending the afternoon with grandma and grandpa.
Even managed to get a spider photo for Venus TB.

Nice spot and beautiful park! KLMN

KLMN found it

First ever geocache Found!!!

Didn't take too long, happy about my new treasure

Nice walk along the boardwalk. Quick find. TYFTC

Finally found one YAY!!!!

On my way home from working a night shift, and did a detour to drop by and grab this cache here this morning
At ground zero I wasn't finding anything, and had started to wonder if the container had washed away, as it looks like this area may get inundated by flash flooding [?]
Anyhow, I eventually found the regular sized container about seven meters from ground zero, and it was actually quite exposed!
As previous finders have mentioned, the log book has been very wet at some stage, and I found the pages to be pretty much stuck together
Having read the logs on this one prior to visiting, I had prepared a new book of log sheets that I stapled together. I've signed and dated this one and popped it into a plastic bag and sealed it up to hopefully stay dry next time this area gets flooded. I can't help but think that this area is not a good spot for a cache [?]
The container was replaced back where I had found it (even though a bit off from actual ground zero) and a bit more cover put over it, as it was probably able to be seen from the path, and might be thought of as just rubbish lying in the bush for people to remove[?]
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache aussiegirlz

The book was slightly destroyed by water.

Quick easy find

Out for a walk with my 2.5 year old son. He liked finding this treasure. TFTC

Nice one

Quickly found today but I thought it was a very out there place to put a cache. I did have a unsuccessful look quite some time back. Signed log and replaced cache as found or a little better. TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Log is rock hard needs replacing

Quick easy find.

TFTC. Cache was a little wet inside.

Great find, first geo for the new year! Could use a new log though

Found this one eventually after waiting for a few muggles to walk past. It did take a bit to find actually and the poor old thing is in dire need of some maintenance. The log book is in no shape to sign.
Time for a new cache CO.
Such a nice park area, it definitely deserves a cache.
Cheers, matatre5

Well it would seem that this was not to hard to find once I was looking in the right direction. So I did a little bit of a look in many wrong spots before realising the mistake and soon the cache was in hand. I got my name on the extra bit of paper that had been added and was soon heading back to the car, in search of lunch.

TFTC

Best one I've done yet! Low muggle area, inside container is wet

Need maintenance. Well hidden. Log wet could do with new one and plastic bag. High muggle!

Myself, Blacknano, and Willyduck were out and about today, grabbing a few caches in this area. I parked the car in a nearby street and Blacknano legged it towards the GZ. He made the quick find whilst me and Willduck wandered down to view what he had found. We were discreet whilst signing the log being sure not to be seen by muggles passing by. SL TFTC

Great cache next

Cache definatly needs maintenance, because log is soaked. And was able to spot it straight away maybe it should be hidden a bit more

Heading down the coast to stay a couple of days with my daughter and naturally I stop along the way to pick up a few caches. This one was my first stop as I needed the GC code for the Elementary challenge which I'm going to tomorrow with some friends.

The logbook is very wet, unfortunately I didn't have a log sheet with me to replace it.

Got it

I was on my home from the last AFL match for the year when NurseyJulie called. She wanted to do a cache this evening and wanted company. Instead of going home, I made my way to her home. There, we piled into one car, along with her muggledaughter who was to be our chauffeur for the evening. We drove to as near as possible to GZ and then made our way there. Our phones were very bouncy here, so made searching quite hard. Limited light was another challenge. I was about to give to when NurseyJulie said "Found it!" We signed the very damp log with my "write anywhere" pen. Unfortunately, neither of us had dry paper with us, so we were unable to replace the log. The cache was returned to its hiding place and we made our way back to the car and home.

A late evening visit to this one. Geodaughter needed some night driving hours for her learners, so we ventured over here to make a find. It took some time as it was dark and looking at previous logs to where it could be proved to being a little patient. The co-ords were a little out but we were using phones and limited lights, but eventually I saw a little piece of plastic under some natural flora. The cache is damp but was able to write our names in. Left the TB but took the info needed. TFTC MaTaTre5

Log book is not usable as it is wet. Container is in a floodway next to the creek. Some wild life in the creek. Left the key in the container for others to find.

headed to this cache today to gather info for my target cache of the day. Signed log but it was super soggy.

See my other log

Thx

Easy find in a cozy spot. Log is far too wet and smelly to sign.
