Look at the Bremer Ipswich, Queensland, Australia
By an old hag on 28-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3XN1D

The first cache kept getting washed away, so was replaced in a higher area, which it appears although a great place, was a place where it had to be replaced correctly to be out of sight, and as this seems to be in the too hard basket, this replacement has gone missing.
I have therefore decided to archive this listing.
Thanks to those who have found and looked for the cache and an extra thanks to those who gave those lovely favourite points which are very much appreciated.

This is now archived so I am just getting rid of the spanner from my scree

I took a seat ( I returned it later ) and looked at the Bremer.
Looks like a moderate flood level
Parts of the riverside walk were awash

No caches found by the seat though

Can the CO check if the last log is correct - it looks like it's not there ??

Not found ...

Not where it should be

Checked all the spots - but no where to be seen sadly

Out and about caching in Ipswich before we head to Stanthorpe to attend the Qld Mega. After having a thorough search in the likely spots left and did another cache. Came back and sprung Nurseyjulie and Ms Maddy. We spent a bit longer searching together but to no avail. The local cachers used PAF option and determined it was no longer there.

Great find. Thanks so much!

out with my family and my friend mazza151 and his family for a play in the park and of course to do some caching.

While my mum's car was being fixed, my mum mnance101, my brother mazza151 and myself played at the park with sliverin and her kids. Afterwards we did some caches. TFTC Old hag!

While my mum's car was being fixed, my mum mnance101, my sister pinkypie05 and myself played at the park with sliverin and her kids. Afterwards we did some caches. Mum had found this one before but gave us a hint to help us find it. TFTC!

Thanks to a friend for an outing while getting their car serviced. We got to see each other, have the kids enjoy the park nearby and retrieve some caches. TFTC

A sneaky hide. TFTC!

Good Cache!

Continuing my stroll, I went directly to this cache, which reminded me of one of my very first finds. Have to like it when that happens! As soon as I'd replaced it, it began raining very heavily so I called it quits and headed back to Riverlink. TFTC where all is fine.

Just having a day trip to Ipswich today.
Was very humid this afternoon with the impending storm coming.
Headed home before it hit.
The kids around were having fun on the flying fox and in the water features at the park as we came by.
No one here where I was looking for this cache.
I had the place to myself.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks an old hag (not) All good with this cache

We are camping for a couple of nights at Harrisville. Camping behind the hotel beside a peaceful creek, that has wondeful water lillies on it.
Today we went caching around the Ipswich area, normally we have only seen it from the motor way so todays finds was like having a tiki tour of the area.
Thanks for placing this cache an old hag

Out for a walk to wear out B&S before I permanently hide the pair of them in a cache somewhere never to be found lol. All jokes aside, TFTC AOH

tftc

Arrived at GZ armed with our writing stick and tweezers, but did not get to use them. An old hag has managed to put this one out of our sites. Thanks anyway.

TFTC visitors from nz enjoying your beautiful walkways

While my kids were at their dance concert rehearsal I decided to do a few caches. Found it in the first spot I looked in. TFTC!

Love and hate you AOH lol TFTC!

I just remember that i hasnt had my phone with me since last 2 caches so i went back look for my phone and couldnt find and i was that down then my geofriend came help me look for my phone and took while look for my phone and gave up and walked to my car on the way my geofriend found it and it was in middle of the road with out damaged. What a Relieved. TFTC

oh tricky cache

tftc..

Out and about for the day with angloj. After taking a seat and reflecting on this one we came up empty handed when a thought of a previous came to mind. Checking in the right spot I found it a little hard to retrieve, but got it in the end. Great hide and TFTC an old hag

On a day trip with Kestal heading east, we made this as our 14th find. The flood information along this walk was interesting and also a little scary knowing we would be under water! Kestal made the find. Tftc

This one was next up on the list, and although we had DNF'ed this one before, however today was a different story in the humid heat, and a quick search quickly revealed the cache Added our name to the logbook, and headed off in search of the next one

Well my run soon came to an end but this one got the better of me

So glad to do finally do this one. Every time I've looked at it it's been muggled and off line. found with geo-daughter prg14. Thanks AOH. Always happy when I find one of yours.

"Old hag, this is gonna be tricky" I thought. Out and about for the day with mum and stopped for just a quick grab and go. This is differently the easiest of the old hag cashes. Although I still needed the old hot and cold hints. Great hiding place and good location. TFTC

Found it by default

Ftf! Me and the little one found this one on our adventure! I like this one!

Finally no muggles today, so a new cache is in place

different container

the muggles just didn't seem to be ever going to move on, and after waiting for what seemed forever, I decided to leave this one for another day and continued with my mainteneance of the river walk caches

Saw a nearby location where the cache might not get washed away, so will make a cache for that area and place withing the next 2 weeks

We too stopped and had a look here on our walk down the river boardwalk -seemed silly not to look when we were at gz anyway - but like previous finders came up empty handed today as expected.

still on my to do list

still on my list of things to do, and hopefully it will be in the near future

Will disable this one until I can get out and check that it is still there

It beat us.

I don't want to post DNF as I know how tricky an old hag can be, but we did look quite intently and came up empty handed, is it worth a check? Thanks any way what a view, I can't begin to imagine it in flood.

No joy!

We finally got to have a decent look for this one today, but with all the DNF's we were not hopeful.
Now I know that just because we cannot find a cache means it is missing. If the cache is in place we are more than happy to log a DNF.
Please AOH could you check this one for us as we are moving on in a week to head to the mega at Murray bridge.

Decided to take in the views while waiting to pick up daughter obviously have cache blindness today or completely stupid this one is very frustrating

Looked high and low, but no luck today.

We had the place to ourselves but had no luck finding this one. We thoroughly searched all the possible places that related to the hint but came away empty handed.

No luck on the first pass so I phoned a friend. Nice crisp new log! TFTH

2nd time failure on this one. Must not be getting it yet. Be careful of the wasp nest hanging off the western handrail on the look out. Neither the wasp or my finger liked that one.

tftc hard one

Gotta be early to beat the muggles. TFTC

got this one too.

cache is in place and ready to be found

Did not find but I have little motivation to look hard with several DNF before me. And there was a muggle below who we didn't know was there until he made a phone call.

Had a good look for it but no luck.

Quite a few DNF,s so hope the CO can check to see if its still there

Looked in all the usual places but suggest that this one is missing.

Walked past twice and no luck - a bit confused on the old hags thinking.

out caching with beckypeters this is my 1st DNF

this was the third cache on our list for today but after a good 20mins in the boiling sun we unfortunately had to admit defeat

no luck here either. Couldn't really narrow down a spot that matched the clue. The GZ that the GPS was indicating was not much use either.

No luck here tonight, even though we visited it twice. Just couldn't get the GPS to settle or match up with the hint.

I was here last year before the floods and thought I had checked everywhere. Today is the first chance I've had to get back here, and what a beautiful day for a hunt. Good to see the river and the walkways and parks coming back to their pre-flood glory. Sat down at GZ and just gazed about, trying to think like an old hag. Yes, I know, impossible. Checked a few of the places I had checked on the previous attempt but this time a bit more carefully. On the third spot,,, bingo! Got ya! Thanks an old hag, glad to get this one under the belt at last.

I walked form the car park at the western end of the board walk - hardy a soul around except those heading for the shops on the other side of the river. The river was quite low.

Once at GZ, I checked the most obviosu spots but found nothing.

The GPSr reckoned I was 7m away and once I let it get to the smallest number possible, there appeared to be a spot that sort of matched the hint. Lo and behold there was a cache.

Great view.

tftc an old hag.

an old hag has the best hides. well done, we found it though

Hopefully next time

My GZ had me a little higher than i think i should have been until I saw a bit of blue plastic in the fork of the tree. I gave it a tug and it was a set of keys. Hmmm i dont think that is part of the plan. Time for a new approach

Well that was a lovely walk. I took the zigzagging boardwalk down and got to GZ to find some vandalism. Why on earth to people feel the need to graffiti and damage property? Anyway I set about looking all over but due to the destryed item at GZ and the wires I wasnt gonna get too close. I will have to give this on a go another day. Lovely walk. Will head back to the car along the riverwalk.

TFTC AOH.

No luck with this one today but 4 out of 5 aint bad.

Found with TriBre and BosNewellgus.

Got a new GPSr yesterday so what better way to test it out than to find some caches.

We found a number of caches around the Ipswich area today.

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.

Now the walk down to this cache is a great walk. I can see this area being full of water at sometime in the year and wonder what it would look like. Needless to say this location would be good to say dry. The hint helped some what but there is so many locations that fit the hint! Great cache container!

This was the 14th find of 19 finds for the day.

TFTC an old hag #1575

That clue could mean so many things. But it is correct.

Another find while running the Riverbank trail.
The little rubber band around the log made extraction nice and easy this time.

TFTC

Grr... I spent about 5 minutes looking for this one til I was joined by a couple of muggles who clearly weren't in any rush to move on... I decided I had to, or I would have spent all afternoon waiting for the coast to clear...

think i found the hidey hole, but alas twas empty

The walkway is clear, however there is still a lot of work to be done before this area is back to it's beautiful self.

Therefore there is not the same cover as before, so it is really important that you ensure that the cache has camo over it, when your replace it to it's hide.

hopefully the debris will be cleaned up this week - council are certainly taking their time to get this area back into it's previous nice state

Had a look and the water is looking like it is back to normal level, however the pathway is still barricaded off so I still cannot put this cache back on online

checked on this cache after the flood last week and it is definitely gone.

I will not be replacing it at the moment because there is a lot of clean up work to be done and I don't want the cache to be removed with the debris.

It will be replaced as soon as I know that the area is back to normal.

No luck for Net88, Gambler2000, D-Man2006 & I.... spent far too long in the sun getting grumpy and finding nothing that worked.... too hot to care so left it for another time

The first of a bad run, muggles, don't they understand that I need to look for a cache.

Having found 'slipped' thought I'd clean this one up also. Studied the area and re-searched all the places I'd searched previously. Re-read the clue and tried again. Bugger! no luck again. A couple of sightseers arrived and so I had to move off again. TFTH old hag, this is a good one, I'll be back.

After quite a bit of searching...and widening the search...and back where I started....no luck for me.

found after gymnastics. another awesome hide
TFTC

found this one about 2 weeks ago but forgot our pen, so got back tonight and signed the log,
all safe and dry .TFTC

Gave this one a good go but came up empty. Will keep watch here. TFTH old hag.

I got nothing too hot to keep trying today but rest assured I'll be back TFTH!

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

After quick hunt today we came up empty, we enjoyed the view for a bit before heading back to the car for some water. Until next time.

After getting to GZ with a few Muggles around that we had to let pass we got to looking for the prize. It took a bit of thought but we soon had it in hand. Nice hide in a great new spot. TFTC.

Published

FTF! On a roll tonight with 3rd FTF. another nice short walk along newly built walkway along the river.
after arriving in gz and waiting a few moments for passing muggles to leave the search began. after looking in almost every corner we could spot we took a break to think about the hint. we took a few steps back to look at the bigger picture and soon had cache in hand. TFTC
