Hi ace4350,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Happy to add my name to the log and get another smiley on the map, especially since my previous attempt had been a DNF due to park maintenance. Tom & Jerry trackables came out of the bag to check it out too. This place would be stunning at the right time of year. Thanks to ace4350 for the cache.

After 10 years on the road, finally decided to settle and put some roots down. Warwick is our chosen town.

Today, we had to take our caravan into Toowoomba for some pre-sale repairs (diesel heater needed attention, and who would live in Warwick with out a diesel heater) so while the van was at the work shop, we cached around town.

It took way too long to find this cache.

First we had to drive the entire block cos we wanted to use the "loo", and eventally found some near the cache.

Then the phone rang. It was our financial advisor, who just wanted a catch up. So we sat in the sun on a park bench for half an hour for a chat.

Back on the scent (pardon the pun), and the phone rang again only 6 metres from GZ. Friends from the past in Victoria. Another long chat taking up probaly another 30 minutes. But again we sat on a park a bench in the sun. Now if only I had stretched out I might have found the cache.
Then, out of the blue, muggle gardeners arrived to weed the nearby seedlings.....but they were not interested in us, only rolling their cigarattes before settling down to work...

So the cache was an easy find. But took way too long to find.

Thanks ace4350 for making us stop and smell the roses. Fave point for the location

Three Roses Alley

L'Allée aux trois Roses, a street in Quirm city in which is found a fish shop that should really change its fat in the fryers more often, but which still acts as a magnet for girls from the Quirm College for Young Ladies in search of an illicit treat and an ogle at the attractive young man who works there. The wizard C.V. Cheesewaller maintains his consulting rooms here, possibly because of the close proximity to fast food. Three Roses Park is adjacent.

I enjoyed strolling around the gardens with my munchkins. We definitely took our time to breathe in the sweet scents that floated on the breeze while walking around. Each of us picked our favourite Rose and then we wandered over to GZ. It took no time at all to discover the cache. Some scribble was left and all replaced as found.

Thanks for the smiley ace4350 Big Grin
