People in glass houses should be very afraid .. not adopting this cache as it wouldn't be fair to good cachers
Found the original cache, but after reading previous logs we thought there must be something more. And there was! Lovely container, tftc

TFTC. Nice little find. Found what looks like to be an old cache. Left it at the base
I was passing this cache and thought I should torment myself with another search for this cache which has eluded me on 2 previous visits.
I walked to the same tree and looked down to see a cache container sitting on the ground with the log beside it. There is no lid for the container and it appears that it should also be attached to something else but it isn't. I signed the log and placed it back in the container and hid it back at the base of the tree as I have no idea how it was originally hidden.
Glad to get the smilie but pity it has been damaged. TFTC.

A quick dash while my baby slept in the car. Could park close. What an amazing little cache with a nice new log. All in good nick and I had tweezers ready to help. Thanks a million for this one!
Woohoo finally found, much easier when you have the right tress, yippee. GPS had given wrong coordinates
That's a great hide. Was a challenge getting the log out but we did. First to sign a nice new log sheet.
Thanks an old hag.
Thanks an old hag.
8/5 Log book is full, found a space to mark. Well hidden but the clue is what it is.
Found this one relatively quickly compared to an old hag's other ones
Needs a new log though

Boonah to Ipswitch this morning. Have set up camp in the showgrounds for a couple of days.
After lunch & a rest we went out to find some local caches.
Found in the last place I was expecting a geocache to be.

Well this took a couple of goes, mainly because my iphone had me barking up the wrong tree. After going back through other logs I figured I knew what I was looking for and committed myself to finding it, even when geoboy was getting bored. Finally found it using my hand instead of eyes. My handy toothpick extracted the logbook and we were happily on our way. NB there's only enough room on the log for one more. Thanks old hag. Love your caches.
Was always meaning to come stop by this cache for another look, second time lucky (mostly with help from our trusty GPS) TFTC!
After having previously attempted this with kdawg92 in the past, we thought it was about time we gave it another shot - but using a GPS this time over our phones in the hopes it will give us more accuracy (last time we're certain our phones were way off).
Approaching GZ, my phone was still saying 67m away when the GPS was honing in with 3m. Hmm.. Yes... GPS was good decision!
Unfortunately the GPS pointed us toward the wrong tree at first, so we spent a few minutes looking up the wrong branches.. But kdawg92 noticed the GPS was now pointing in a different direction, so we decided to follow it and... What is that? Doesn't seem like it quite belongs... A ha! At last! Success.

Found it but needs some maintenance partner has semi fixed it but don't know how much longer the little critter will hold up as we found it on the ground and then found where he came from.
This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Took some looking for and we eventually spotted it. We have enjoyed looking at this area in our travels around Toowoomba, Laidley and Ipswich. Thanks to an old hag for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location. Fav point alloc
Looked in all the obvious spots in many trees but could not findbit. GPSR pointing in the middle of a few trees.
We were on the verge of giving up when a jogger came by and said "that's a good one, very tricky hide, don't give up its worth it" This gave us the motivation to keep looking (in the wrong tree - darn gps) but in the end....we got it! You make us so frustrated an old hag and thank you! We love your stuff. With kar1e3
We were in town for a Father's Day lunch and decided we needed to find a few caches to work off the calories we had consumed. We didn't have much difficulty locating the cache and with our names added to the log, we made our way to the next cache.
Thank you an old hag for having placed the cache for everyone to find.

Way too many green spots, on our map, around Ipswich so we set out today to convert a few more to Smilies!
Definitely a 'little' elusive!
Logged & returned as found.

There is nothing wrong with this cache -- the log book has plenty of room -- likely due to the fact that it was not that long ago replaced -- and the cache is still in it's right position -- I have absolutely no idea why someone would put a needs maintenance log on something that is OK
Spent a good 10 to 15 minutes searching for this one with Richmond Lad but to no avail. Another time.
What a gorgeous afternoon, and brilliant sunset! A few muggles wandering around by themselves or with four legged friends, but scarce enough that I could duck in and out without attracting attention. Also helped that I parked super close to GZ
Nice quick find. Not sure if the coords have been updated, but I found them to be fairly accurate (some previous logs mentioned issues). The hint makes GZ a bit more obvious, then it's just a matter of spotting the sneaky thing!
Great cache An Old Hag. It's all in good condition (even if I did separate the parts temporarily, then drop one bit, the drop the log... Oops! All good though, and returned as found)

cache find #3158 On a caching day with Tassie Trekkers. MrGt54 had a dnf on this some time ago. Today we walked straight up to it. Always the way. Great cache container. TFTC.
No rest for the cacher today [:o]
I was on a mission to find a few Ippy caches on me "Escape from Briz-Catraz" today
Having escaped the big smoke I took a bit of time out to smell the fresh country air and find a few caches in this delightful parkland
There were a few fitness fanatics running around in circles, a few cricketers polishing their 'not getting out' techniques and even a local in full on swearing mode ... taunting anyone who dared wander past the grandstand near the soccer field
A short poke around the wrong tree, and I headed for another tree.
Eeek !! A whatchamacallit !! [:o]
Not a very large whatchamcallit though
TFTC !!!

cache fine and log can hold in excess of another 35 names before replacement is due
Today we explored Ipswich and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Had a few goes at this one, finally found the cache well hidden in its hidy hole, TFTC.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Finally found it once I got my brain warmed up. That really is the best cache I have seen so far! I only had a crayon on me but will fix next time I am here.
Almost the end of our Ipswich caching day, when Tiki 4 find this one sitting there very nicely! Great hide. TFTC.
In the area with Just-Lookin as we slowly headed towards the MEGA at Stanthorpe.
Stamped the logs with t&J or our names.
Another very tough to spot cache!
Good hide

On a geocaching trip with tmann421 heading to the MEGA at Stanthorpe. A fantastic trip away seeing a part of the country I had not seen before and collecting caches along the way. Stamped the logs with t&J or our names.
Thanks to all the CO's for the caches and making this such a memorable trip.

Found it with the Gonz-clan kids today. Nice hide, lost a few limbs and had tried to make a run for it. Re-pinned, signed log and replaced cache. TFTC, the boys loved it.
Very clever AOH. I must admit how my I hated you when I first started a couple if months ago. But compared to some of the other hides out there I guess I understand why your hides are so good. Oh btw can you swing by this one when you have a chance. You'll know what I mean when you get there. Not hating you as much lol. TFTC! Excellent.
After not caching for a little while we made a quick decision to jump in the car and just grab a few caches and with a flip of the coin we decided to travel east and grab some caches in and around Ipswich. Nice quick find at this one, we were sure it was going to be somewhere else as we walked towards it. TFTC an old hag
Well I'd like to say we found this quickly like so many others but it took us about 30 minutes, the GPS took us to the wrong tree, it was too hot, too cold, the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, but eventually we got it thanks An Old Hag
Well that put a stop to my roll I was sure I was in the right place , might have to come back with MRS GT54TFTC
This has been on my to do list for some time. Finally found today. A little disappointed in the nature of the hide, can't help but think there were many better options.
After completing the presentations for the day, FFLL No 2 had a bit of spare time before having to head back to Brisbane for the night. Arrived at the park and walked the short distance to GZ. Quick grab, CO may need to check the camo is missing and a new log is required. A new small blank one has been inserted by the last finder which is helpful.

While waiting for my car to be serviced I decided to do some caching in the area. Took me a little while and then I found the sneaky hide. Oh dear, I forgot to read that I need tweezers. Back to the car. The log is completely full so I have added a small piece of paper and rolled it up with the log. TFTC!
TFTC. Windy day but no one around. Log is full and disguise has walked off, so only plastic container is exposed.
Out and about on a wet Day, been chasing this one for a while and finally can get a smiley face. TFTC an old Hag.
