This cache has had it's fair share of trouble, so I'm going to archive it.
 
31-Jan-18
Will disable until we can get out there to check on the cache.
 
29-Jan-18
I'd found this cache before so thought assisting another cacher to locate the hide would be in order. I suspect the cache is somewhere there but where under all that mulch is the question.
 
28-Jan-18
Looked for 20min DNF
 
28-Jan-18
Rocked up with a previous finder. No sign of the cache. May be hiding under the mulch but life is short.

22-Jan-18
No joy
 
28-Dec-17
May need checking appears to be a lot of mulch had slid down bank covering potential location

Thanks to good eyes Deafpwee

Nice quick find
 
26-Sep-17
Awesome cache.... Thanks Deafpwee TFTC
 
16-Sep-17
We searched for about 45minutes for this one unfortunately with no luck. Thank you for bringing us here. We'll be sure to come back another day.
 
16-Sep-17
we didnt find this one, searched and searched will have to come back to this one soon. I have been racking my brain on where it couldv'e been.
 
01-Sep-17
Ok first dnf for the day/night. Hope thats the last of them. Will be back another day little cache
 
01-Sep-17
What a shame. Will have to come back in full light with more time
 
28-Aug-17
Out catching up with some friends today and after our catch up I saw that the gates had been reopened in here so thought perfect Ill choose this one for my daily cache. After looking around for a while and slipping and sliding on the hill I asked for some help. Help was delivered and shortly after I had the cache in hand. Took a little bit to get it out but I did and signed and replaced while trying to scare away the plovers that were swooping me. What a tricky lil hide here, this could have been a needle in a pine forest hahahahahah. TFTC Smile
 
13-Aug-17
Well a few minutes of slipping and sliding in the slope, before findaroo spotted something, that led to something, that led to the goods. Whoa very small. TFTC!
 
13-Aug-17
All good with this cache. With the saying never leave a cache behind I thought we would be here forever. Did find after reading a log about a very small cache.
 
24-Jun-17
The park is Closed and has a fence around it to stop you getting in. Will try again when the work is completed and the fence dismantled.
 
29-May-17
Just noticed that I missed logging this one on 13/2. Found with the tough mothers.
 
18-Mar-17
Wow! That is a small cache! Had a lot of fun finding it. Great to see the Park being used.

I had been to this cache twice before but failed to find it. On my last visit, I found something that told me that the cache was missing so I sent the CO a message. They disabled the cache and, after checking, re-enabled it. So, today, I made my way back here again. I found what I had found last time and right next to it, the same thing again. I am pretty sure that wasnt there last time I was here, but the container (not what I had been looking for) was attached. I added my name to the log and returned everything how I had found it and was on my way again. TFTC
 
19-Feb-17
Looks like it's still there!
 
18-Feb-17
Unarchiving cache as CO meant to disable.

13/2/17. Tough Mothers trail blazing day found this one. It could be unarchived.
 
13-Feb-17
We found it, within the tough mothers. Tftc
 
13-Feb-17
Out caching with Tough Mothers (Remsjw, Bennyboppers, Lisylou, and Misssusan79). We found it! TFTC!
 
12-Feb-17
This one has been muggled yet again, so it's time to archive!
 
15-Oct-16
Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)]

A bit suspicious at the length since the last log here, but no luck for us today. Hopefully we were just cache blind again.Surprised

Thanks anyway the_eths

We took the opportunity to stay the night in our motorhome at Wyllie park for free. After we had a BBQ dinner in the neighbouring Sweeny Reserve park it started to get dark, so I used the possibility to take my geokid to look for the hidden treasures in the park. This one was quite mean, we had to search for it quite a while. I wasn't the best place for the kid, as the slope of the hill started to get steep and she slipped away with her feet quit easily. Still, after looking around for a while (and after feeling we were eaten alive by the mozzies Twisted), I suddenly saw a tiny, tiny artifical thing that surely was the cache container. A bit weird/random hiding location, but thank you very much.

Been meaning to get this one for a while. Called in on the way home. Nice little hide. TFTC
 
19-Jul-16
We thought we would have a crack at this one in the dark with our torches and tonight Lady Luck was on our side. On any other day this would probably drive us mad. We found this just in time before the park closed, any longer and we would have been stuck overnight. The park ranger checked out our number plate but we made it clear we were leaving. Geoffspring was embarrassed. Tftc
 
01-Jul-16
Got it this time. TYFTC
 
05-Jun-16
We had a quick look for caches here on Arrival yesterday but were beaten by dusk.
We hadn't realised how close this one was until this morning so looked for it first and turned it up fairly quickly as it is similar to a number of hides we have seen before.
Clever nonetheless!
The cache has survived the recent weather event well and is still nice and dry.

14-May-16
Tricky little cache, TFTC
 
13-May-16
3 of us looking here today with no luck. A lot of leaf litter around and prickly pine cones hampering our search. Will keep an eye on this one.
 
12-May-16
Out for the day with Nikid1 & Lenore1972. We had started the day with a DNF but were on a good streak until we got to this one. Despite a pretty thorough search we couldn't find it today, will have to return for another look.
 
24-Apr-16
Found Ok
 
29-Mar-16
Took the express train past home in order to pick up a cache for today - and this one was my target today. Not great underfoot for work-clothes, but I quickly had a thought on what to look for and soon enough there it was. Neat.
Thanks for placing this cache, the_eths. Found in good condition.
Cool *{Overall find #4523}* Cool

I'm doing volunteer work and Lawnton so I'm clearing this park one day at a time for my daily find. I had a good idea what I was looking for as I'd looked for one of these previously (without finding it). Today though I spotted this one immediately.

Very nice hide. Smile, a favourite point from me.
 
13-Feb-16
We normally go caching on a Sunday, but with tomorrow being Valentine's Day we decided to go today instead. We actually made a surprisingly quick find on this one. and it gets a favourite point from us! TNLNSL TFTC
 
12-Feb-16
Cache has been replaced and is ready to go again!
 
10-Feb-16
Yes, this will be fixed soon.
 
14-Dec-15
Need to replace this. Will be back up again soon.
 
12-Dec-15
Had a look could you check please
 
15-Nov-15
I have a huge inkling of what I should be looking for but did not find
 
07-Jun-15
Another casualty of the rains perhaps? I'll check back another day.
 
04-Jun-15
Too tricky for me. I went up and down and up and down so much that I was worried I moved or stepped on the cache. With this being the last of my back ups for my unique DT challenge I'm going to have to pack up and go home Sad Tftc. Seems I'm the only one who has struggled recently Sad
 
26-Apr-15
It was pretty quiet in the park this afternoon, soon found the cache, nice camo.
 
26-Apr-15
Spent a while here looking for a very sneaky hide. Ultimately put my hand on it and realised what I was holding.

Blended in well, good hide!! TFTC
 
09-Apr-15
Over on the DarkSide for a meeting and lunch. Looking for some worthwhile caches - this one fits the bill nicely. GPS coords very accurate today amongst the pines. Found at 12.50 pm on 9th April 20 questions 5. TFTC.
 
24-Feb-15
A lot of junk and debris on the slopes for this one. And plenty of mud on the lower areas. Had a 15 minute look, and did not see it. I will come back and try harder when it is a bit dryer....
 
15-Feb-15
With a few Muggles in the area we stealthily made our way to GZ. After a little looking around we found the welmade and clever little hide.

This cache was part of a ‘GSFGH’ Group Sunday Funday Geocache Hunt. As a team Stacevel, *SuzySquirrel*, spinna76, LechBros and I worked together towards raising our numbers so we could all have a joint milestone event next week. The hardest part about doing something like this, as a team, was finding an area to hunt that had not already been harvested by one of the group. After a little map scanning, the area this cache was located was found to be the most neutral hunting ground.

Thanks for the cache the eths. The cache is in great order.
 
15-Feb-15
#962 @ 10:01 AM Out caching with Stacevel, SuzySquirrel, MinkosDes and Lechbros today. Logged as SSSM. Nice cammo. ~ TFTC the_eths Smile
 
15-Feb-15
#962 @ 10:02 am. A numbers run today in the Joyner area before the big thousand milestone next weekend. Second find for the day. MinkosDes quickly spotted this tricky hide. TFTC the_eths!

# 656 @ 10:02
Caching with spinna76, Lechbros, SuzySquirrel & MinkosDes today. Headed to GZ and armed with the hint we were abke ti make a reasonably quick find

26-Jan-15
First cache for the day, out on another bike ride with Barbbowman.
I spotted this one rather quickly, but getting the log out took a lot longer, even with tweezers.
I found bashing the container against a rock helps Smile
 
25-Jan-15
This was my fourth visit. I just knew it was there and was getting annoyed with a rectangle that needed to become a smiley. Unfortunately, I could not extract the log with the tools I had. I tried using my pen but only succeeded to make ink marks all over the log. Sorry about that! I sent an email message to CO describing the find. Otherwise, this ranks at the top of my best finds. I am giving this one a favorite. Very ingenious! TFTC
 
12-Jan-15
TFTC Plenty mozzies, The log is tight needs a longer log or very- very sharp tweezers longer log would not push down into cache but good cache

Finally made it out here and replaced the log with a new one. It wasn't actually too badly stuck - with a good pair of tweezers you'll be able to get the log out easily. Have fun!

Wow!! Day 44 of my three-month trip to Brisbane.

My sister and her family have come down to see Mum and my good self, and to get some decisions made about the clutter in Mum's house. Santa has brought my niece an Etrex 10 for Christmas, so, not wishing further involvement with said clutter, I'm taking my niece, my brother-in-law and my GeoSchnauzers geocaching. Should I happen to get 10 caches today, it will make it exactly nine finds per day for the whole of December. On this little excursion, we found five caches.

We walked over here from out last find, GeoSchnauzers in tow. I pointed out to my niece the difficulty rating, and told her about some of the cunning things I have found. Here we were poking about, when my worn-out tenny runners deposited me upon my posterior on the slope, as we were looking in the old stump. My niece found the piece of broken pine log, which I grabbed, thinking it was a disguise for the cache. It wasn't. Then, the cunning hide caught my niece's eye. Her best find yet, well done!!!

Onya, the_eths. Thanks for the fun.
 
31-Oct-14
Sadly the log has been jammed so far into the container, it's impossible to retrieve - no matter what tool I tried. If it's ok with the CO I'll log the find (previous finder also said log was full?)
Many thanks
 
31-Oct-14
After waiting a bit on the bridge, and then having a dreadlock holiday, this one was too close to pass by.
With the help of the clue I spotted it quickly. Brilliant container. With trusty retrieval kit in hand I opened it up and thought " there's no way that's coming out of there".
What a shame
I hope you're able to replace - it's brilliant.

Thanks for the cach-eths Smile
 
Extraction tool required!

Unfortunately the log has been wet previously and was stuck in the container and needed some gentle manipulate to remove. It is also full.

TFTC
 
06-Oct-14
It was getting late in the afternoon and I only had about 15 minutes before closing time.

I was also running out of light as i strolled over under the trees to start the search. I had looked at the hint and so I headed straight to the higher search area and it didn't take long to discount all the decoys and locate the cache.

A bit work to get the log out but it came in the end.

TFTC
 
02-Oct-14
Great little hide here! Seen similar, but I love the extra touch to ensure it lasts.
Just far enough away from the workers to be undetected!
Thanks eths!
 
18-Sep-14
An enjoyable day of caching with The Drovers where we did lots of walking through several parkland and bush area.. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Nice one [^][^] Thanks to the_eths.
 
18-Sep-14
Still camped at the showgrounds, and headed out again with Liz and Bruce.
We visited many parks and reserves, and found a wide variety of cache hides.

This clever hide, was found after a short search, and is in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, the_eths, a favourite point from us.
 
14-Sep-14
No luck today (my 3rd DNF). Plovers kept letting me know to stay by the tree line. Followed clue, but nothing came up.
 
18-Aug-14
After doing quite a few eths caches we knew what to look for. Matt had located this one before I had gotten geogremlin out of the car. Admittedly we did need to locate the cookies before getting out of the car
 
13-Aug-14
Pretty cool cache first one I have seen like this Smile thabks
 
03-Aug-14
No luck today
 
31-Jul-14
Checked up on this one since people seemed to be having trouble getting the log out. Was able to get the log out with my trusty tweezers. Fixed it up and all is good again Smile
 
26-Jul-14
Very clever hide tftc
 
21-Jul-14
Found this sneaky hide Smile like previous posts, the log book is totally jammed inside. Have taken a picture of the cache container for the CO. TFTC!
 
09-Jul-14
Tftc. Did one of these types in Melbourne so had a good idea of what I was looking for. The logbook is jammed in the cache and without my full cache kit was unable to sign log. Took photo of cache with my card right next to it send to CO if they please. Well done, nice hide
 
02-Jul-14
Arrived into North Brisbane today, have set up the caravan at the showgrounds. Now its time to find a few caches.
We had a wonderful drive around the area, walked in some wonderful parklands. All the caches we found were well maintained, & good hints made for easy finds.
Our comments are similar to the previous finder.
the_eths
 
11-Jun-14
On my second attempt, cache came to hand with little effort. Pleased to report all is well, although the log was jammed in too far, even my trusty tweezers couldn't coax it out. Not wanting to risk damaging the log by using a stick or similar, I left it without signing. Have photo for evidence if required. Thank you very much for this one.
 
09-Jun-14
Nearly home after a weekend camping and caching. Could not extract the log but photo of cache being emailed to show we did find it. Thank you for placing this one! Smile
 
21-May-14
I was in the area for a speaking engagement at St John's, Petrie and stopped in on the way home. My little stroll to the GZ included a fair few things falling off branches... But I guess they wouldn't kill you if they fell on you.
The coords seemed OK and a bit of geo-sense in the GZ led to the cache being in my hand very quickly: about time I had that kind of good fortune! I'd forgotten to bring over my tweezers, but I found a natural implement which did the job nice and gently. TFTC and a great job here for sure.
 
18-Apr-14
Brilliant cache!! Just about got carried away by Mosquitos! Was stumped until I read the previous logs. I had a pen malfunction so took a picture if proof is needed. TFTC, was a lot of fun Very Happy


 
17-Apr-14
Second cache for the day. Great hide. Nice camo. TFTC
 
17-Apr-14
Clever cache saw something like this at sandgate. Better spot for it here. Tftc
 
22-Mar-14
Found with sunshinecacher93...TFTC
 
22-Mar-14
Quick find with teamridley
 
Ha ha this had me laughing. At myself! "Maybe it's around here. I'll just shift this a bit. Wait. This is it!"

Geo lesson #1. Open your eyes. Great hide Wink. TFTC
 
09-Feb-14
Today I am in the area finding a cache or three. Razz
And particularly a nearby challenge cache. Cool
Now that that cache has been found it is time to find a few more. Big Grin
I sort of guessed what this one would be and it was not too long before I found it. Smile
Thanks for the cache.
 
07-Feb-14
After reading the logs we had some idea of what we might be looking for but were not wanting to get too cocky because much more experienced cachers than us had made more than one trip to find it. Luckily we were right because the container was extremely well disguised. We certainly would not have wanted to be searching for this one in the dark! Big Grin Thanks to the eths for a very tricky cache!
 
31-Jan-14
at 15:26. Our second attempt. We were relieved after our DNF to learn that it was actually missing then. After reading someone else's log I correctly guessed what to look for and sure enough after several misses there it was right where the GPSr said it was and had said it was last time.

TFTC the_eths. The ingenious cache is fine.
 
27-Jan-14
Great cache! GPS worked well even with sky starting to cloud up. TFTC
 
05-Jan-14
Found with Bedmaker.
When we arrived we noticed some muggles nearby setting up a caravan.
With them busy trying out their awning we headed off in search of the cache. We had an idea about what we might have been looking for and BM spied it right away while I was following the GPS.
Nice hide!
 
05-Jan-14
Found with Tassiegirl13.
We trusted the GPS on this one and it went near enough right to the spot.
Being the area it is we had an idea of what it might be.
A great little clever cache, well done on the camo.
TFTC
 
16-Nov-13
I like these caches. Very appropriate for the environment its placed in. Clue was good hint. A little foraging and soon put my hand on it. I didn't have a tool tho, so back I trudged to my car and pick up my trusty tools to sign the cache. Replaced it back into position carefully and went onto the next nearby caches. TFTC
 
03-Nov-13
Great cache! Glad we decided to think outside the box
 
22-Oct-13
Can't find it ! I just became premium and I'm having simply no luck since then ! Haha any hints would be welcomed
 
28-Sep-13
Out with the geo-grand kids but sadly it started raining and we had to abandon the search.
