Hi alydave123,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Ministro - Matt

Dnf

DNF

Think it’s been removed not found

Didn’t find this one.

No green coal for us.
Looked for ages.
Thanks for the hunt

Out for another day of cycling with a little geocaching to provide rest stops along the way. I caught the train to Ipswich and started my loop back home by bike. After a bad run of DNF’s ( 4 in a row) the day settled down after that. (Appears that 2 of the 4 had gone MIA and the other 2 well maybe I had not woken up or the DNF’s left a bad taste in my eyes)

Cleanout of a DNF from last week.

Nothing easy here

Essay find

My first find! Can’t to wait to find more

Great little find, great view from up high TFTC

Nice spot

Tricky one. My GPS was off a bit so I had to rely on the hint. Thanks for the cache

Took awhile but gotcha

Very quiet here on a Sunday afternoon. Quickly saw its head poking out, just had to dodge some very sticky spiderwebs to grab it. TFTC

Good spot found at 1.45am

Second time around but we finally found it

Green is my favourite colour

First time it took me a bit to find I eventually work today was a good spot

Second time here. Geokid did the work. Clever hide. TFTC

Searched for this one for a while before we saw it sticking out.

Thanks to a second pair of eyes, found TFTC

Very cool little cache, coordinates had a us rummaging in the bushes but this was not necessary TNLS a shell. TFTC xx

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.
Visiting the area while Mrs Felix was recovering from knee surgery.
Quick find on a trip into town.

Our first attempt but we didn't find

We came across your cache, Alydave123, while on a quick trip to Ipswich.

Nice quick find, but as others have said, no green graffiti and coordinated should be ignored. These worked for us: S27 35.856 and E152 49.980.

Log signed and cache replaced at 10:47 AM on May 3, 2018. TFTC.

Out with LelGhecko and kids. Signed and replaced. Quick easy find by Lel.

Out with SantosGhecko77 and geokids. GPS a little off, no sign of graffiti but a quick grab anyway. TFTC

quick find GPS jumping a little but it was there signed and returned the cache

Had a good hunt, but then school was let out! Definitely not the time to search for this one.

Couldn.t even find the green graffiti.

#300 woohoo
Luckily no muggles as this took way too long to find. I did eventually find the "green graffiti " and located cache about 1m away.
Many thanks to those who placed & maintain this cache & all others in the game.

**# 17143** Found on the Qld leg of our 2017 winter escape trip.
An almost perfect but cloudy Winter day for some more local caches.
Not many muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
Well this was a bit easier than expected considering the location.
Thanks for the cache alydave123,

Great find

Cache is still in place

Green Coal -- was transferred from an old hag to user alydave123

I was over this way this morning having a try at a FTF but couldn't locate that one
Anyhow, I'd been driving under this one every time I come to Ipswich and I'd always tell myself I'll stop and get that one one day. So today was the day. I pulled up in a nearby street and made my way to GZ to see if I could find it and cheer myself up
I was looking and feeling around the metal parts as I slowly moved out from GZ and at around the five meter mark according to my GPS today at least, I spotted the container
I had to put a little bit more effort in to actually get the cache, but that was no real drama
Nice to have this one as a smiley on my map now!
TFTC an old hag

Took me a while but I found it in the end! Location kept jumping which was quite frustrating but not a local area for me so wanted to close this out! TFTC

Nice quick find today. Tftc

Found relatively easy for an old hag cache

Team J.O.K

Bit tricky but I found it

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

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

Out and about this afternoon and this one was next up on the list for us We pulled up on the roadside and made our way over to GZ. A quick search of the area and we soon had the cache in hand and added our name to the logbook

Found while helping with cache maintenance

Smilie #2603

Way too many green spots, on our map, around Ipswich so we set out today to convert a few more to Smilies!

As with our previous find, the co-ords just wouldn't settle.
Searched a little further afield & soon came up with the cache, about 8 metres from proposed GZ?
Left TB.
Signed & replaced as found.

Out and about with Brother Colin

We called in at the servo and I took the walk over to this one. I had some trouble getting the GPSr to settle, but after searching lots of spots I finally found it. TFTC, an old hag.

Out for ride with son. Nice camo. Thanks again AOH.

Found it easily in the first place I looked, sat and logged it and left a trackable to move along.

Dropping in a travel bug to continue its journey

Found it this morning on my way to a LAN. Nice hide. Went up, looked down - Ta-Da! TFTC.

Replacement cache in place waiting to be found

Today we explored Ipswich and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. After cache has been replaced. Log signed. TFTC

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out and about but failed to unearth his one.

We spent a long time looking for this one, but to good for us, maybe we need a hint for this one!

Thought we had it but it turned out to be someone's garbage. Very busy area. Not recommended with kids. Will try again another day.

Heading to this part of town for a steam train ride, I had to find a cache for the day to finish my calendar.

This one caused us some grief, but finally located the cache. Spoke with CO about where we found it, and they will check it.

TFTC and completion of calendar.

Thanks to the old hag, actually met her we were the ones that had never found one before, we found the one at the green bridge if only we looked at the right angle

Ok this one was a little difficult but so good ! Thanks heaps old hag

If you can't clinb over go through.

Second one by an old hag today, quite enjoying them and so is GeoSister, first one for GeoDad and after finding it I think he enjoyed it too. We had a look around and with the marker a tad off we thought we might need to jump! I figured it was worth looking at some logs to see if I could pick up any useful hints. Yep got one, I stood back from where we were looking and spotted it in no time, right angle (Isn't that always the case?) Got GeoDad to grab it, and we signed it off and replaced. TFTC! - Only now do I realise that the cache was very fitting to the name haha.

TFTC

I like it

Would never think to climb over but kestal did and after a PAF, we had the log signed. TFTC

I have searched for this one once before but had no luck. This time after nearly 30 minutes I used a PAF. Back to where I was originally and there it was. TFTC old hag

Found with my girlfriend, I would like to say we found it easy but it took us some period of time, but we got there in the end thanks an old hag

Cool case easy to spot from the right angle and a distance away from it too, tftc!

Sneak! Great cache and worth the effort! Don't give up stick to it like a "magnet"...

While waiting for my car to be serviced I did some caching. I searched everywhere. Eventually PAF who gave me a hint. Found it after that. My coordinates kept telling me another place.

I liked the cache too!

Tftc

TFTC, late log, apoligies but we have just become premium members so we have to catch up. Out with igotahunch and flora the explora

late to log TFTC

out with team bad 4306. good cache, thanks.

TFTC!

Found with goldielover today. Nice quick walk and soon managed to spot it.
TFTC

Found with stairman1. It was very hot today as we were walking to this one. Lucky for us it was a quick find. Names on log book we were out of there. TFTC

Found this cache whilst out for the day with Whint & Bad Dal. We were down a muskteteer but had a great time without him anyway It was quite a warm day, even for December and we were probably a little foolish to be attempting caches in these hotter suburbs, but a bit of sun never killed anyone... right?

The longest part of this cache was getting from the car park to GZ. Once we were there we started searching about and I must have looked just the right way because I spotted the cache within 20seconds. We headed over and sat down as I signed the log and replaced the cache. The gpsr had me a few metres away but could have been interference from the bridge? Thanks for the cache an old hag.

Found with Net88 whilst heading back in the direction of home after a day out caching. We parked near the station and made our way across the bridge to GZ. Was a quick find due to Net88 looking in the right direction in the right spot

tftc

Decided to have a look on my way to work didnt tske too long before I had it in hand logged and moved off before looking suspicious tftc

Loved the container! Tftc

!!!!!!!tfc!!!!!!

I'd driven past here at least once before but couldn't figure out where to park, so kept going. Tonight I figured it out and was soon wandering up the ramp. After a bit of a look here and there, I saw something quite unusual and it all made sense from then on. TFTC: all is in fine condition here.

Out with misssusan and remsjw today. Misssusan had found this one before, luckily she was there, she gave us a little nudge in the right direction, co-ords pointed a little way off. Anyway remsjw laid his hands on this one in the end, I was very close and don't know how I missed it when I saw where it was. Tftc.

No one around when we were there but it is a busy road and the walkway is for the local high school students to get safely to the railway station. Saves them having near miss experience crossing the main road. The container might be hard to spot at night, the walkway isn't - it is green. Replaced the container and back to the green geomobile.

Found it!!

Last one on the way home from our day out caching with Will.I.am.elia and co. Took a little while for GPS to settle but geoson soon had CIH.
TFTC

Spent a bit of time here and previous logs helped me find it. GPS had me down the ramp a bit. Getting higher helped my angle for search, but still can be spotted by standing on the ground. Then I had to get lowwwww

Very sneaky hide and for short arms to reach.

I approached GZ and walked straight past it. After a little look here and there I went to a more likely spot and soon spotted the prize. It looks like another container has been placed near the cache. Everything is on good condition however the cache was very easy to spot. TFTC.

Must admit to being a little "off" in the search.
Thanks to Mark 2134 for the tip!

GPS off. Had to search. Green coal has turned black.

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.

We are sure this area must be busy at some point during the day, but being a Sunday was nice an quiet giving us all the time we needed to clear the area. Mastamak did find it in the end but some 10m from GZ. No problem we still found it, once again another smiley on a great looking bridge, on our way home.

This was the 18th find of 19 finds for the day.

TFTC an old hag #1579

Coords had us about 10m south of GZ.

Had to pick up Mr Wagtail at Dinmore rail station after work this evening and thought while we're here we may as well have a look for this one. After a quick look at the artwork and gardens on the approach, it was down to business. Took us a little while but eventually I spotted the 'green coal'. Another clever little cache and nice hide.
TFTC and old hag.

parked over at the servo and ran over the road and up the ramp. It was 6:30 pm sunday evening and I'd found about 290 caches so far this weekend and was still running It's a sickness, Mrs Browngang calls it. I agree
Thanks old hag

Love the "Coal"!
