A Whole 'Lota' Fun Lota, Queensland, Australia
By teamdaley on 24-Dec-12. Waypoint GC438EB

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Spent a good 15 minutes looking for this. Definately not here.

Multiple DNFs and maintenence logs without action from CO.

I agree with the Dawesy321 log about this one because:

It appears the council have covered the area in mulch making it impossible to reach the caches (possible) position without disrupting the mulch.

Needs attention by CO

Has this cache disappeared for ever. No one seems to be able to find it.

We are over here on Holiday from NewZealand,and staying closely.
Sadly it wasn't a Whole 'Lota' Fun for us,just on dark.Had a good long hunt,but yep it has gone.
The CO needs to check this Cache ASAP.

Had a good look at GZ but like the previous posts I think it is gone.

No go for us

It is gone

We tried to find this one with geo-students. I think they turned over every centremeter of the nearby area without any luck. Disappointed we left without a find.

Do not attempt on a sunny Sunday morning

URGENT - this one cannot be found we looked at geocache Coords and clue area - it was clear people have dug around but this has not been found since -April '14 - think it may have been taken by muggle as in very public place - owners please recheck position and confirm

All the bark had been well scraped away as if a giant bush turkey had been searching for the cache! Alas, a good clear view all the way in as far as the arm could reach didn't yield any desired views

Park was packed. We Rashleigh 5 + a ring in looked around could not find it. Read the clues still could not find it.

Had a big long look with 7 of us. No luck. I don't think it's there

Found the right spot, poked from one end to the other, no cache found.

Beautiful spot, full of muggles but an easy one to find.

No luck from either

Thougher searcb of area i would say muggled.

Had a quick look on both sides matching the hint but couldn't find a cache. Nice park for a party tonight anyway & the bonus enjoyment of riding here! Cheers

Maybe someone has shoved it under the ramp too far?

With Doully and Aussie Pete stopped for a quick look as Aussie Pete had previously located it. The area is now more exposed thus difficult to poke around. Seems like the cache is not in previous position as per the hints. Will be back for further look in quite'r times.

We did a drive past last time we were down this way but Saturday lunch time is definitely not the best time to visit. However, mid-morning on a Monday, we found the place pretty much deserted so the hunt was on. The GPSr was pointing us well away from where the hint suggested so we ignored it, headed over to where we thought it should be and found it in a flash.

Thankis for the cache teamdaley

Just moved back to the area. First cache over the south

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

A great area for the family. We wandered around the obvious spot before reading the hint. Hmmm what does that mean? Oh well, we followed the bit we understood and soon the cache was discovered. TFTC.

Two possible third places. Neither yielded a cache . Guess my luck has run out for today . Lovely big park for all ages.

Ooh this was a challenge. Lots of people around. My mobile phone was very out. Thanks for the clues. Very hard to be discreet without looking suspicious lol. Photo seems to be the best disguise. Managed to retrieve, sign and replace undetected.
Left some shiny swaps.
Thanks for the test. Good one.

This was our last find of the day. Another great park by the Bay. TFTC

My daughter found it. Nice

Was convinced cache was somewhere in magnificent eucalypt nearby. Then I read the hint . Tftc .

Out on our bikes today enjoying our lovely bay. Nice easy one. TFTC

Found with Andy, the sausage dog and the bump. Windy arvo after a brutally hot day...
And now Andy won't go put it back coz she's scared of the plovers... Aaaand they attacked... LOOOLLL!!!

TFTC!!

Introducing a friend to GC. He beat me to it! Love the hint. TFTC

This one was tricky only cause of attacking plovers and muggles!!!

A great little park. We have been fans of this park for a while and it has been great how it has been renovated in the last few years. Dropped in this morning on a ride and made a straight forward find, once I moved away from the interference the tree was placing on my GPSr. TFTC

WAsnt where it said it would be stay away from the tree

Found on our first real day of caching, thought I had logged it but still have green, lovely easy find and one of my fav places for dinner of fish & chips. TFTC

Found with Jammo25, had looked before with no luck this time it stood out very clearly. Clever hide. TFTC.

Once we realised that the cache was not at the tree where the GPS wanted us to go, Mr GT54 quickly located the cache. All signed, returned a little better than we found it, and on our way again. TFTC.

Grabbed this one while the kids were enjoying the amenities having a whole lota fun!
Stacks of muggles about, but no one paying attention to us, and the kids were pleased to find a cache big enough for swaps!

Nice sunny day to be out geocaching
Sneaky hide the hint helped

The lovely weather had the muggles out in hoards and quite understandably - this park is lovely. Had not ventured into this area before and Geowife and I thought it lovely...

Took nothing

Oh well, the GPS was determined that the cache is by that massive tree. At 11 pm it's all down to the flashlight, and with that I didn't spot any decent locations for the container.
Decided to have a look around, and suddenly a part of the clue rang a bell, and I got the hang of this. A little search on different sides yielded the desired result.

All good in the cache. I was well covered, and I tucked it neatly back with adequate amount of cover on it.
TFTC, teamdaley!

After finishing the cheese trail series I checked the GPS and found that this one was nearby.

A short drive and I found a close park and strolled over.

The hint helped to narrow down the search area and I spotted the cache as it was completely uncovered. Luckily there were no muggles close by so i sat down and signed the log.

I grabbed the incumbent Travel Bug and headed back.

TFTC.

Down bayside way to collect a few smilies. The clue made it easy. Love the park and the amazing tree. Dropped off a TB to continue it's travels. Thanks teamdaley

Nice time out. Kids played in the nearby playground and later foud the cache. TFTC!!

The Tiki clan were out for a day of fun with oddotriin and oddotriin jnr when we thought we'd search for close-by caches. This one was right there and was a quick and easy find for oddotriin jnr. TFTC.

Easy find. TFTC

Chucked the bikes in a friend's ute today, and headed down to the south side of town. Starting at Elanora Park, we headed to Wellington point and back... 48kms, and this was the 2nd cache on the radar!
The specificity of the clue made it an easy find. Only 2 options here.
Great park. Fairly busy, but I think the bikes afforded us some cover
Thanks teamdaley, we had a great time!

Out with my munchkins for some school holiday fun at the park. While they mucked about on the play set, I went off to find the cache. At GZ I could see the cache straight away. I signed the log then replaced back where it was found with a little more leaf litter on top.

TFTC teamdaley

Found by the gorgeous Mudstalker! I went straight by it! TFTC!

Ran around in the rain with pipper pointer today. This was local for him but a new one for me. I expected it to be on the other side but I guess muggles could be in any direction. Noone out in the rain to worry about today though. TFTC: all is fine.

Easy find great location

I should ahve done this one first but when I got to the park there were parties on in all directions.

Nothin to do but ignore them and look for the cache.

tftc teamdaley

Glorious find with Daley! Now off for a Indian curry at flavours of Punjab!!!

I'm hooked. Great place to chill

By the light of the moon we'll find it soon

Came to the dark side for lunch at a nearby cafe, unfortunately it was closed today, checked the phone to see if any caches nearby, hit a jackpot, what a lovely tree, such a nice area so pleased to find a cache, now off to find an open cafe. Thanks teamdaley.

easy find on a busy day in the park

A whole 'lota' MUGGLES! Easy find. Tricky retrieval. TFTC

As my trusty geo-colleague Newimagepm has pointed out in his log, MUGGLES EVERYWHERE. Good for the rest of Brisbane cachers though. Today is the day to cache on the west side. Why?? Cause they are ALL HERE

After reading the description and the clever clue we figured we had a pretty good handle on where it was to be. The problem though (as discreetly alluded to above) was that our EVERY move was being observed. [B)]

We pulled a few moves that made them look away ( and soon had the prize in hand. The Invisible men strike again.

Container and contents all in good order. Thanks for bringing us here to this lovely spot (even if every muggle and their doggle was here today - lol)

TFTC teamdaley

Quick find with skibeagle
Muggles every where
Tried a couple of tactics to look less sus

Great spot will be back with the family for a picnic

TFTC

Found in the rain. No one around today.

The Pilling Boys plus one had a whole 'lota' fun finding this one.

Good find with Anlica, singing all the way. TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:35pm. Lots of people moving round the park but all doing their own thing. The cache is in good condition. TFTC

A nice neat hide and manged to find even with muggles nearby. TFTC

A nice neat hide that is possible to do even with muggles nearby. We sat for a rest, reached down, and the job was done with nobody the wiser. TFTC

easy find-good clue -cheers jumbo

Found this cache during a day of very wet and rainy caching with Captain Terror. We headed out to this area when we finished a few nearby suburbs. When we parked the car i was really worried by the barrier around the eucalyptus. It's not like we haven't jumped a barrier to get a cache before but i don't really enjoy having to do it. We walked over to the sign to find out the cause of the barrier and were horribly disturbed to find out that this poor eucalyptus tree had salt water out of all things on its leaves and that they could drop off! We were so shocked that they didn't put the barrier further around the tree in case of the wind. We read the hint and both knew the song straight away so we headed off and i went to the right side but by the time i realised the mass i could see was a mushroom the Captain had removed it and grabbed the cache. Thanks for the cache teamdaley

Net88 and I were looking for caches today and decided to head towards the coast and grab some icons that we'd both missed at some point. We were soon parked and poised for this one. En route to GZ we passed the fenced off tree and according to the sign it was due to the eucalypt dropping salty leaves. Gee, imagine the injury you could sustain from a falling leaf!! Good job council.

Fearing the cache was also cordoned off I checked the cache page and being a fan of 'old school' music I was all over this one. Naturally though, I started on the wrong side. The other, when I got there had a giant mushroom hiding the cache, but not anymore. Cache all in good condition and a lovely spot for one too. I even went for a little adventure around the nearby playground. TFTC teamdaley

Took us awhile to work it out mrs RVGeo got it TFTC

After three hours of sailing school for the crookedkids nearby, we dropped in and grabbed this cache on the way home. A nice easy find exactly where it was expected to be.

The poor old eucalypt is looking a bit worse as a result of ex TC Oswald. Here's hoping it drops the salt burnt leaves and comes back with some green vigour. Council has done a good job in this park. Master 6 was most upset when it was time to leave.

This place is very busy with families. It was after school and there was a party nearby in one of the shelters. Saw the big Eucalypt was cordened off due to the recent storms and thought - oh no, what about the cache. Walked around it and found a good candidate for the clue and had a quick sit over it and watched the waves in the distance whilst signing the log. TFTC

Pulled up in Nurseyjulies's car and we noticed a large gum tree that was fenced off.

Oh no!

But we looked at the clue and as I actually own a Drifters CD, it made perfect sense.

We grabbed the cache quickly and replaced as found

Luckily this one survived the storms in good nick!

TFTC teamdaley

Quick find with good clue, on the hunt with Jumboz, + TB, that was quickly re colected for a trip back to NZ this afternoon

Found it. The area is not looking too good after the wild weather many trees are down but the park is still being used.
TFTC

Found with my dad TBD, had to be the mean one to take the toys off the 2 year old, sneaky hide!

Last cache for us during our trip to Brisbane. Great place to stop for a rest and a well hidden little cache. Thank you for putting this cache here Took nothing left nothing, though my 2 year old wanted to take everything....

What a lovely park and so close to home! The clue was so good that the muggles didn't guess a thing.. TFTC

First cache of 2013 and fifth to find. Woo!
Nice, easy find.
TFTC!

First find of 2013!
Found on a lovely afternoon.
TFTC!

Yay stf for me for my 200 find for the end of 2012. Quick find with onward bound. Tftc

3rd to find. Well done to my wonderful fiancé Cleveland girl on her 200th find since I introduced her to geocaching earlier this year. It's great that she has embraced it so much. Thanks for a great hide in a lovely hidden part of the bayside . Happy new year!
