as CO as not cached in a year and not been on GC in 4 months maybe it is time to for this one to go

Tis one has definitely gone missing, as I have held the ant covered cache in my hand before!. CO attention needed.
Been twice now.
Put my hand in where it should have been on tiptoes.
No one in the park.
Don't believe this one has been here for months.
Needs replacing or archiving

DNF ...searched high & low for about half an hour but without luck . Think it may have been muggled.
Found a likely hidey hole with lots of ants, but no container. Can CO please check if it is still there please?
Today was a rambling caching day - no set plan, just picking a cache on the list of next closest and seeing where I ended up. Having cleared most of the inner north, my Today Today was a rambling caching day - no set plan, just picking a cache on the list of next closest and seeing where I ended up. Having cleared most of the inner north, my journey took me through the inner western and inner southern suburbs and to this cache.
The coast was clear when I arrived here, so I searched some likely spots freely. The hint makes sense, so I checked those locations first. My GPS was bouncing around a bit so I expanded the search to less likely spots. Whilst searching a few of these a lady and her young child arrived and I got the stares that go with being a lone male loitering suspiciously around a playground.
No luck today. Thanks for the cache, X RazzBerry x

I take it as a personal loss when I don't find them - but I seriously, after reading all the logs and checking just about everywhere, including several times in the location it had to be, I definitely didn't find it, or anything like what I now see in the photo. The owner might want to check this one, I think it might have gone AWOL.
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
A quick find today after work, however the cache is signable for us today, the logbook is wet.

Took some locating, Duck was totally useless with this one. Pity that the container is crap, it is not watertight and the log was mush.
Interesting container pity that it is waterlogged, would have replaced log if I thought that it would survive the next shower. Showed some trackables what life could be like in a different location.TFTC
Found @ 1959 with squirrel_Joe - took a while to find, Gps was going spastic. After reading through logs found which tree was hiding the goods but still no cache. Some scratching through the grass and bingo cache found. Put back in hidy hole but this cache is in need of maintainance.
Late afternoon cache , log book is wet but cool container was unable to write . Not to many muffles around

A nice night to cache with Geolze and a nice little park - very quiet and reminded my of New Farm. The log very wet and full. Cute little cache ... very clever - just need to waterproof it. TFTC
There were a few muggles playing in the park as I arrived but I pretended to be checking up on the nearby trees to go in for the grab. It's an interesting container, but it's not keeping the logbook dry. Also the hidey-hole has lots of ants living there too. TFTC, x RazzBerry x.
Doing a little bit of night time caching in the area. After all the rain during the week, the log paper was sodden. We dropped in the only piece of blank paper we had.
A nice little cache.

Out and about with Net88 and egginthesky for a night time caching raid. This one was a quick find for me and glad of that. Although late at night, suburban caches in middle of streets give me the heebie jeebies. We signed the log and replaced the cache as found.

Found this cache whilst out on a late night (early morning) adventure with Nyssaflutterby and Egginthesky. We headed over to GZ and nyssaflutterby came up with the cache container. Luckily it didn't take too long at all. Thanks for the cache x RazzBerry x
My 100th cache, yahoo! A bit of a search and way too many ants crawling on my arm, but managed to nab this one.
Very clever cache, found on 3rd try. Few muggles around, but luckily no ant bites.

I felt uncomfortable approaching a playground alone and although I had a quick poke around the area indicated by the gpsr, soon moved on.

There's been a bit of park maintenance going on here, including tree removal after summer storm damage. Not sure if that contributed to our miss today. It was near dusk though so the mozzies meant we didn't want to hang around too long. M and H
Came by on a tour of Graceville with EggInTheSky who suggested that the hint was very useful. I was pondering the hint as we approached GZ and it made a lot of sense. I quickly found a large number of ants. Also found a rather a clever cache.

I came here a month ago to search for this but unfortunately there were quite a few playground muggles about. Today I popped down here with TheAlphabets to have another search around this area and within 2 mins was able to find what we were looking for.
The little members of TheAlphabets had a great time playing on the equipment while C & I caught up

ANTS! I found the possible site quick but was hoping it wasn't there as there were so many ants. Quickly retrieved cache and about 11 ants on my hands, only a few bites though. TFTC!
Aha, finally I arrived at GZ with a chance of nabbing this one. Only a couple of muggles and they were over the other side of the playground. There were some council guys out and about but, armed with my trusty black book I headed in like I was supposed to be there. It helped that the place is full of branches, leaves and mess from the storms, so I swept the area and pretended to take notes as I went... [^]
At GZ, I swooped on a likely location and snared the container. Back to the nearby seat to "take some notes", I sorted business out before doing another sweep of the area and dropping the cache back. A little more observation and some more notes, I headed back to the car and moved on...
Pleased to have this one ticked off after so many attempts being muggled out.
Cheers x RazzBerry x.

Muggles everywhere for this one. But I managed to look inconspicuous in both the grab and return.

Just a couple more before heading home for dinner. A quick stop with 5Meerkats, in brazen view of the muggles nearby netted this one quickly. #5 for the evening for me!
This is rapidly becoming the most annoying cache on my map. I have been past GZ at least 5 times over a few weeks and not been able to approach GZ for playground loving muggles... Grr...
Nifty cache? I did struggle to open it though. Quite an unusual shaped niche in which it resides. Tftc
Unusual container, found after a few minutes searching the wrong spot due to bad GPS. Tftc.

Arrived at the park, and was glad there was no one around.
After a short search, I found a nice little hidey hole.
Interesting container too, thanks x RazzBerry x

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 8:44am. The hiding place was obvious once we pulled up in the car. The cache is in good condition. TFTC
found on a hot Brisbane summer day. second find of the day after R's cricket game. found in the 2nd place we looked, tftc!
It was raining too much for anyone to be in the park so I didn't need to use the usual stealth that you need in suburban parks.
First place I put my hand

I was passing through the area and had a bit of time to spare so naturally had to find a couple of caches.
There were a couple of young muggles playing on the equipment so I did a walk past to inspect the area.
I stopped a distance away and thought about the hint and cache name and decided that I knew where the cache was located and I would be out of sight of the muggles while searching.
Luckily my hand landed on the cache straight away and I moved away for the signing.
A quick "conversation" on the GPS as I walked back to the hiding spot to replace the cache and I was away with them none the wiser.

I am out for a very early find or two as I am due at the international airport my 7am. I parked close by and had to wait for a dog walker to pass by before grabbing this one.
It is dry and nicely tucked away. Thanks for the cache.

Drove around the park, but there were too many children about and the arrow was pointing right into the playground equipment.
Not a cache I could do today. Might bring the children one day.

I don't know about quiet. Even at 0900 in the morning there were plenty of folks around, with their children playing on the play equipment. Found in the fairly obvious spot. TFTC.
Nice little park for a nice little cache. This is a very interesting idea for a micro. Love it!!!
2nd time lucky! Nav was out and got stuck on the truck! No go. Think outside of the bark!
Couldn't find this one when looking or it a couple of weeks ago, but we were totally distracted by the play equipment. Found it tonight with the help of WogBoxRiders, fo' lyfe!
The hiding spot is always so obvious AFTER you find it. Quite the intreeging hide.

Miss A wanted to go to the "boat parK" u p the road so we headed there for a play. Seeing this was 500m away I started off for a walk. Mr T joined me, which was quite handy as I had a good excuse for lurking in the park. Geokids are handy like that . A quick easy find, took me a little longer to open the container but got there in the end.
We found a juvenile galah back at the boat park with perhaps a damaged leg. He couldn't fly for any distance so we grabbed him in a towel and took him to the Graceville vet. He will be obsrved overnight and if all is well released again tomorrow. Fingers crossed for the little fella.

Found at 1140 with Tiamet. I haven't seen this park since it ha been refurbished. It is quite nice now! Both of our GPS readings were going haywire to begin with but we got them to work and soon had the cache in hand. Thank you for the cache.
We were in the area for another cache and thought we would grab this one nearby. The geokids enjoyed the park and geodad secured the cache quickly. Nicely constructed cache container!
All well with cache

This seems to be a high muggle zone in the afternoons however I got lucky and found this one in the first place I looked. I went to a close by seat the sign the log and as I sat down I saw two other cachers looking where I had just been. They glanced over towards me and I held up the cache for them to see. I quickly signed the log and gave it to the two others cachers to sign. I showed them where the cache was hidden and went on my way. It was nice to meet some fellow caters while on the hunt. TFTC
Dug around for a long time without any luck. Will go back in the day to see if we were missing anything obvious.

I was surprised when I saw this cache pop up and today was travelling past, so may as well make the stop and pick it up.
I'm not a fan of playground caches, and this one had a family making the most of the afternoon, after school sun. I tried my best to go unnoticed, but as I looked around, I could tell Mrs. Muggle was getting uneasy. Mercifully I spotted the beast (and no idea how the hint was meant to help) and opened it to add my name to the log. A different container and not sure how it'll hold up to the elements, but time shall tell. I replaced and was quickly out of there, glad to have this one done and dusted. Glad I only have to live this one once. TFTC RazzBerry.

I was quite excited to see another cache pop up nearby that I almost considered going for the FTF, but alas Goldilover and Stairman1 had already claimed it. So with nothing to do this afternoon, I met a friend at Sherwood Station and after completing my nearby multi, we tackled this one. Reaching GZ from the train, we were met with a number of muggles in the playground. Being rather patient, I was more than happy to wait them out. Not too much later the last muggle had moved away from where I estimated the cache to be, so I moved in. I spotted it quickly, signed the log and hightailed it out of there.

Went along with icecream boy for this cache. Had to wait around for muggles to leave but eventually were able to retrieve it.

**FTF** at 5.45 a.m. with stairman1 and geodog .
I didn't see this one pop up last night and when I got home from my walk with geodog this morning stairman1 asked me if I had grabbed it [?]. As it was still up for grabs, we loaded it into the GPS, grabbed geodog and headed off. Quick easy find. Only 1 muggle walking his dog. Neat little container. Geodog had a play in the park while we signed the log. Thanks xRazzBerryx. Great to see you back

I stopped by this morning but of course found a large group of kids and yummy mummies hard at it.
I returned again in late afternoon and there was still one mum and kids but I pulled out the black folder and pen and proceeded to take interest in the nearby units etc. Luckily I could take advantage of blind spots to make the find. All good so far so TFTC razzberry: nice to see another in the area.
PS I'm very envious you got to use the word YOLO in a cache first!

***FTF*** Saw this one early this morning. Goldielover had just walked in after walking the dog. She never went for a look so off we went together. With almost no one around we had no problem at GZ.
