This cache keeps disappearing so we are archiving it and will find another place for a new cache. thanks for all who visited this place.
We headed here after the Step into Spring Event in Browns Plains as we heard that muggle crows were pinching it. Didn't anyone tell them there was nothing to eat in it.
No crows about today only a lot of corellas but nowhere near the cache.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Gullivers Travels54 All good with this cache

I noticed that this cache had been maintained so I thought it was a great opportunity to pop on over to claim another smiley. When I reached GZ I had noticed a couple of crows (attempted murder!!!!) playing with the cache on the ground.. Maybe that's where the other one disappeared to? I used my knowledge and the very informative logs to place back the cache where I thought it belonged.

And find it we did. Thanks for replacing this cache and keeping it going. Found on 11th September 2015. TFTC.
We replaced the cache today as the previous one has disappeared ,all ready to find .
Retrieval was easier than replacement of this great cache idea...so many muggles this evening enjoying this lovely walk around the lake, we really enjoyed our visit....found log soaked, were unable to retrieve it without tearing it so have put new log sheet and zip lock bag into cache...tftc
Wow one of the sneakiest hides I have seen to date! Had to fight off lots of midgies at dusk to get this one! TFTC

Out and about doing some geocaches this afternoon...this was our 2nd find...TFTC!
while my Gps did a dance, the nugget clan crew was talking on phone and accidentally found it, cheeky little hide
Walking in the dark with Scouts and Leaders we checked this one out, nive

Last one for this mornings caching before lunch break. A muggle on the bench in one direction and another hanging out their washing. Nothing was sticking out at us so we resorted to poking prodding pulling and seeing if something moved. IolantheK put her hand on it and opened up the cache. TFTC
Out and about on a binge Friday with Nurseyjulie. A few spots to search here, but I spied something a little odd, and there's the cache [^] Nice job on the camo. TFTC, Gullivers Travels54.
Had lunch at Waterford with my brother and I decide to do one cache after he is gone. Great cache, great container, easy find. TFTC
Wandering around the lake with friends, we checked if they were some caches. We have been positively rewarded, and our friends introduced to geocaching. However we didn't have a pen so we took a picture of the logbook. TFTC
Caching with BENJDAU family. Brother-in-law found something but dismissed it quickly until hubby decided to take a closer look & found the treasure. Great hide.
Arrived at this one and spotted a likely hide quickly, and there it was!!
Nice work on the container GT54

A lovely lakeside place to visit. On the walk to GZ we admired the beautifully flowering poinciana. Wow! What a display! Spotted the cache hide immediately and admired it's construction. Well done Gullivers Travels54. Thanks for bringing us here today. [^]
Told some muggles there are brown snakes around Tygum Lagoon. Be warned. Cache log has been damp but is OK now.
Out with only two of the kids today, James and Natasha. Decided on another run up the Motorway to the outer Brisbane area. Completed the woodlands series and a stack of other caches in the area on a pretty humid day. Did the last 4 caches in the rain. Thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches.
Spotted it walking up. Kids help extract and return. Good hide. TFTC.

Been close to this spot before, but not quite this far down the path. After a long hunt with the passing muggles at the last one this was a nice quick find here. Not a single passerby either ;-/ Nice container
Owner Maintenance: The log book was found on the ground. It has been put back into the cache container. All good with this cache.
The pissed off resident magpie made the search that little bit harder. Nice hide.
ARGH! Crazy magpie!!! While on the hunt for this one with Captain Terror the local magpie decided to try and get up close and personal with us As quick as we could we found the cache, but it had no logbook! I took a photo as proof of find instead.
Thanks for the cache Gullivers Travels54

Carrying on our walk around the lake which was nice at this time of day and we got close to this cache. I recall a puzzle cache that used to be near here, a shame it is gone, I quite liked it.
Nyssa and I were looking about when the resident magpie appeared. Just what every cache needs. The cache was found quickly and we sat next to the fence hoping Squarky McSwoopypants would leave us alone. However, sure we had the geocache, there was no logbook inside. I can't be certain, but normally there is one. Nyssa took a photo instead and we replaced it all as found before moving on quickly. TFTC Gullivers Travels54

This was a great hide only by chance Mr Remsjw looked at right spot found very quickly doesn't help being short sometimes the kids loved this find with misssusan79 and Remsjw
Spotted it but was foiled by kids who had trouble getting to it. Wasn't what I first thought it to be but looks can be deceiving. Ingenious hide. Many passersby in this popular area. I figured after the 4 km walk to here, the exercise equipment seemed a bit superfluous.
Geopoppy REMSJW just looked at exactly the right place and spotted the cache straight away.
Found with radnoski during a quick escape from a family gathering. Walked straight to it luckily nice hide.

I was in the area for a family gathering nearby. Cousin D from DRML and I decided to go for a wander while the kids were playing and the BBQ was cooking.
It was a familiar area that I had visited before thanks to a now archived DRML mystery cache. The previous hiding spot was now a big patch of grass with no tree to be seen.
Cousin D was straight on to this one and said maybe it is here.... and it was.
There was one more cache to be found on our lap of the lagoon..... it would be just plain rude not to find it before returning.
Thanks for the cache Gullivers Travels54. Cheers!!

Didn't even turn navigation on and spotted this one.. Tricky hide but not tricky enough tftc
Fathers Day today so it was my choice of an area to attack, we all like the Tygum Lake area so it was more a joint decision.
We were put off for a second or two by the Captain but soon spotted the sneaky hide, nice one Gullivers.

A wander along and again we were busy chatting away and happened to over shoot GZ, never mind it was a pleasant walk and the cache was easily spotted, extracting it was another matter TFTC
We were enjoying our stroll along the path so much, we overshot the cache by a few metres. While back-tracking, we spotted something that looked like it needed investigating. Sure enough, a cache emerged and we set about extracting the log. This one was not as easy as the last, but eventually our names were in place and the cache back in its home.
Cheeky little hide this one...but not too difficult to locate. Beautiful area and a lovely spot for a morning walk around the lagoon. Plenty of muggles around this morning so a degree of stealth and good timing was required. TFTC Gullivers Travels54.
Over on the dark side for several reasons today. Cache for the day, catch up with friends, and a reconnaissance mission for an upcoming group assault.
Nice quick find, compared to the last

Found this quickly, signed log and returned safely to hiding spot. Then continued on our Sunday ride around the lake. TFTC
Spotted this one quickly, although I doubt any muggle would. This is a well constructed hide indeed. Thankfully we had tweezers to get the log out and with business done we continued around the lake. TFTC
Great clues from previous logs and AWESOME idea for a hide location. Had to forge an extraction tool to get the log signed - pair of tweezers would come in handy. TFTC
GPS Jumped about 10 m.
So easy to just jump in long grass and spend hours.
Read Logs.
Matthew99's clue helped a lot.

Nice hide. We had a quick search and then saw something that was not quite right. TFTC
Though it would be hard having a look on the fence but their was a lot of muggles so I sat on the wooden stopper. Then I saw a black thing on top of the fence so I stood on it and lifted it up an found it. TFTC
Out & about with Gunnie69 today collecting a few caches not too far from home
Muggel central here on arrival so timing was everything
But we managed

No one the wiser
We are gone

Far fewer muggles this side of the lake made for an uninterrupted find. Neat container. Thanks Gullivers Travels54.
That's a neat little hide and a decent view across to all the piratical goodness in the park. The path around the lake seems popular with walkers and the exercise equipment was also in use. It's good to see areas like this so popular. TFTC, Gullivers Travels54. =^.^=
This was a popular place today and the paths were busy. Kaisho53 and I had to bide our time for cache extraction and replacement, even though we could see the container...
Once the coast was clear, a swift retrieval was executed and business could go ahead without concern. Another couple of minutes so the tribe of kids could pass, the cache was dropped back and we were done... [^]
Cheers Gullivers Travels54.

This was the last one to find on the area for us and by now the darkness had set in and luckily the area was well lit and we strolled along and checked out the lights over the lagoon.
The cache was easily located but it took a while for us to retrieve the log from the container.
A good afternoon of caching with friends. I'm sure that I would not have found them all without their help.

Quick find, just had to dodge all the muggle walkers.

After the visit to the TB hotel, this was the next one on the list for myself and Ms Maddy. To save running across the road, we looped back around the block and got a nice park on the side of the road.
A short walk in and I was looking going this does not look right after I thought there was mention of Trolls at this one, but not seeing a bridge, another check on the details was in order. Combined with following where the GPS was pointing, and the find was quite quick.

Pulled up Sooty behind OrionJ's cachemobile and we headed over to GZ.
OJ was muttering something about trolls and looking for a bridge
As the GPSr neared zero, we both looked and saw something that shouldn't be there. Ah! Never seen one of those growing out of one of those before!
OJ reached over and retrieved the cache
A quick find for us today
TFTC Gullivers Travels54!

Out on a run this afternoon to try and pick up all of the remaining Gullivers Travels54 power trail caches in the Waterford West area. This was cache number four. We spied the cache from the path but again plenty of muggles about. We just had to wait them out before we could get in and do the deed

After spending the day cache with a large party, we headed home and had supper then some notifications and Mastamak, myself and BosNewellgus headed out once again for the First to Find's.
Having only gotten a Third to Find on Pineing for You, we did not expect to get anything better on this one, but we are here so why not get another smiliey! Interesting Cache, another one that inside and inside again. The weather was cool but the walk was good for warming up.
This was the 19th find of 17 finds for the day and 8 finds for the night for a total of 25.

What a day!!! When the others GT54 caches were published we got the notifications, but we were on the summit of Mt Hobwee. After getting STF on Numinbah views and as this one popped up as we were, OHHH somewhere between Nerang and Natural Bridge (only a 40 minute drive to the cache) we were doubting our FTF chances for the day. As we neared home we noticed that this cache hadn't been found yet so we set in a pursuit course. Near GZ we noticed that no one was parked -- this might be our chance. Despite half limping from our 10 hour mountain climbing adventure, Dr THR walked as fast as he could to GZ and immediately put his hand on the cache. YES -- clean log. Quickly signed, returned, and got back to our car for the rest of the new caches. TFTC GT54. Next time can you wait until we are off the mountain to start publishing new ones.

We found quickly. An interesting cache inside a cache.
