Had looked in the likely spot the clues suggested when I hear a neighbours voice, 'you're lookin in the right spot'!!! Had combed this spot for 10 mins without luck. Neighbour come to chat about the local tawny frog mouths then helped with me with the search, without luck.
Looked in a few other spots before heading off to do the monster search

I was out doing a circuit of Bracken Ridge this morning. Nice quiet park. Found the sneaky little sucker and signed the pristine new log book.

New log in place Smile
 
27-Apr-14
Log is full and considering the small size of the cache it needs replacing quickly.
 
27-Apr-14
Must have forgotten to submit find before maintenance report. Was nearly led up the wrong garden path! Wish whoever enjoys a morning or afternoon ciggie here would take their butts away. Otherwise a nice little park tucked away. One of the neighbours has a good view of GZ so check it out before retrieving. TFTC

Find #1157 at 12:02 with Palopinto, MissGeosie and MissSuzieQ.

A quicker find than our last one. Today seems to be nano day.

We used the last spot in the log, there's no more room at all. Signed "EP, PP, MG, MS".

Watch where you blindly put your fingers on this one, there are spiders aplenty....

Thanks for the cache, TeamRidley.
 
30-Mar-14
We got dizzy dizzy dizzy and then we wobbled on a thing and it rained on me! It rained on me! That was silly. And MissSuzie wouldn't come when we had to go. Thank you for the cache.

The geokids had great fun playing in the (wet) playground while EngPhil made the (wet) grab.

Did I mention it was wet? -)

TFTC!
 
08-Mar-14
Neighbour came to help us after a while of looking and showed us exactly where it used to be. No go. Muggled.
 
08-Mar-14
Sorry we did find it. A bit of persistance and we found it on the ground...placed back in the appropriate place ready for the next happy cacher. Tftc

What a magnetificent spot to sit and relax

Didn't have a pen on me at the time but it was a nice quick find. Great cache!

Tricky little sucker. Well hidden!

30-Jan-14
Made my way to this cute little park and my phone rang just as I got here. Figured there were only 2 so of course I picked the wrong one and was very quickly covered on giant sized ants.

Quickly made my way to the other and very quickly had a cache in hand.

TFTC TeamRidley. All is good.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Quick find here, in another hidden park.
Man, the neighbours have quite a jungle don't they!!
Thanks TeamRidley!

Net88 and I were enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon out in the Subaru grabbing a few geocaches in the heat. This one was suggested next by Net and we headed towards it. It's a funny little street that heads in to the funny little park. We pulled up and upon noticing the water fountain, got a whole lot more excited about it.

I dashed over for a drink and by the time I was done, Net had the logbook out. I signed it, re-rolled and replaced it then while she had a drink. Oh, our efficiency is amazing right!? This would be a nice park to live near and visit. TFTC TeamRidley Smile

It was a slow and easy day for Captain Terror and myself. We had met with a few cachers last night for a drink or two and we deserved a well earned sleep in. We had a look at the map and saw this area held caches for both of us so we jumped in the subaru and headed over.

We parked the car and had quickly walked over to GZ. The Captain stopped to grab a drink at the tap and I had the cache in my hands before he had finished. He walked over to search and then realised I was unrolling the log. I signed the log and then handed it back to the Captain to roll up as I had a drink. I replaced the cache as found and headed back to the car and off towards the next cache. Thanks for the cache TeamRidley.
 
02-Dec-13
Work got canceled on me this afternoon, so I headed out to grab a few caches. GPS led me astray but the hint was very handy. A quick find here. TFTC, TeamRidley.
 
29-Nov-13
No luck. No postmaster at home
 
23-Nov-13
Thanks to the hint an easy find.TFTC
 
20-Nov-13
Glad to hear we weren't expected to kill the postmaster! I got serious about looking while k. hippo took a seat - on the swing. Hardest part was getting the little log out. No help from neighbours but did take note of earlier logs.
 
20-Nov-13
Out for the day with Bristracker. The cache said to sit and I choose to 'sit' on the swing while Bristracker made the find. TFTC
 
08-Nov-13
I feel slightly disappointed as i had some help for the find. The neighbor was putting his bins away and came over and asked if i was playing the game. When i answered yes he showed me where it was. I thought i had done a thorough search. Boy was i wrong. Anyway i know now to look even harder. TFTC
 
01-Nov-13
Found at 0855. The clue helped me find this quickly. Nice shaded little park. TFTC.
 
27-Oct-13
Found today with the help of a neighbouring Muggle.
He had seen people looking there and was concerned that it had something to do with the drug trade!
He said, "What are you looking for? If you tell me what the game is, I'll show you where it is!"
I explained it as best I could and then wrote down the web address so that he could watch the short video that explains Geocaching, and then I was on my way.

Great hide. GPS a bit confused here so had to resort to the hint for guidance. Smile
 
09-Oct-13
Had coffee and chat with babrbowman this morning and afterwards picked up a few of the caches that had appeared whilst we were overseas.
Quick find.

09-Oct-13
Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:58pm. I couldn't find it but the Master did; he found it in a place I had already looked. TFTC
 
29-Sep-13
Hint was very literal! A friendly guy came over and told us that the police were called because the neighbours thought there was something drug related going on. It is a sketchy park though.
 
27-Sep-13
Out today changing a series of green boxes to yellow faces. THis should have been easy but I made it much harder than it needed to be. After ending up in the back of someones back yard I made a quick but discreet exit - oops - sorry...

Further down the way was a nice paved approach to the GZ and it looked so much more appetising.

Hint helped today as there were lots of options at hand.

TFTC TeamRidley Smile I started the other side of the log today (to give you an idea of the progress of the paper). All in good order though Smile
 
21-Sep-13
at 17:11. We chose the wrong path initially but did not swing on its gate. Once we switched to the right path we had no problem.

TFTC TeamRidley. Half of our afternoon's cache finds were yours. The cache is fine which is more than can be said for some nearby furniture.

For some reason I'm still running with the 31 days of August streak. It's not just that I'm slow on the uptake, I just wanted to get to 60+. Every day I say this'll be the end of it, but so far the next day I still found one. OK, the sun is still sleeping, why isn't the silly dog next door? Oh well, may as well get moving. Hmmm, quick nip outside and drive the car up to a place near home I've been before. But I knew new co-ords had been posted, and with renewed confidence I approached the same spots I looked at last time, but now the sun is actually up, I can see stuff, and the new GZ pointed me at one spot in particular ... and there be the cache sunshine! Happy mental dance, quick sign and I'm back home for breakfast. Closest to home now a bit further awayCool

Thanks for placing this cache, TeamRidley. Found in good condition.

Car ? What car ? [:o]
I was on me pushbike today and needed no such facilities as a wide enough road to park on Razz
The cache name was an attention grabber though [^]

If not a bit disturbing, I realised pretty quickly that the cache name may not be what it seemed on first reading Smile

I guess that the Sandgate Post Office had a pretty good dead letter office then ? [:o)]
Sorry !! I couldn't resist Red Face


Oh yeah !! The cache was a nice easy find in a very noisy place [:o]
Well it was lunchtime at the nearby St Joseph's Skool Big Grin

Great coordinates let me to the appropriate structure, and then it was only a matter of time before we found the little beastie Smile Nothing like a nano find Smile And I must say, what a strange little park! Smile TFTC.

Nice little park Smile. Coordinates were spot on today and it wasn't too long before Matt found the cache Smile. Nice hide Smile. All is good with this cache Smile. Found with Matt_Eth Smile. TFTH TeamRidley Smile.

Back again in the daylight this time, albeit the daylight was fading fast. The revised coordinates took me straight to a likely spot. I had searched this spot previously in the dark, but I obviously didn't look closely enough. Found the container nicely tucked away.

Thanks for the cache, Team Ridley.

So after a nice hint I came here after a late exam. Not the best time to be looking for a quick find but the time before was reserved for study. Surprised it still took me a while and I was just about to pull out a tool with more W/m^2 when I found it!

We live only a couple of k's away but did not know of this great little park. Glad we chose this one as our cache for the day. TFTH Smile

Came here tonight after work hoping for a quick find. It was dark. I had no torch - only the light from the garmin etrex and my phone to search by.

oth the phone and the GPS placed me out in the open, 5 metres from any feature. I searched a couple of possible spots nearby. Then, I thought about it a bit, searched a much more obvious spot (though my GPS suggested I was not in the right area). Like the previous searcher, I found the munzee and an interesting hide location/container (though unused).

I think I need more patience and some daylight (or at least a good torch) to find this one.

In need of a cache today I headed out with the family to find this one. At GZ I searched high and low, here and there. I searched on the obvious location but to no avail. I noticed a few DNFs and was starting to lose hope Sad I made a PAF to a friend who had DNFd the cache to see what thoughts they had had. Luckily for me they were in possession of information about the cache! I searched again, this time a little harder and finally found the well camo'd cache. Sneaky little one.

Looked all over the place though that may have been the problem. Found something loose typically used to hide caches in, no log inside, just ants but this was quite a distance from the coords. Spotted the munzee but I don't collect those.
TFTC.
 
24-Aug-13
Just checked the cache and its still there Smile
 
16-Aug-13
Up before the sparrows thanks to the neighbours dog, so off on a bike ride before work. BUT. Couldn't find this one, despite a really good look around.Spent way too long searching in a few possible locations, and in-between, but nothing nada, nought.Sad
 
12-Aug-13
nice quick find to get my cache for the day Smile
 
11-Aug-13
Second cache of the morning while out on the bike, once more I was looking in all the wrong placed. Then the penny dropped Big Grin
 
10-Aug-13
Gpz was a little all over the place but eventually found the little fella. No muggles in this hidden little oark. Found with geolze. 10th day of 31 days of geocaching. My 199th find. TFTC Smile
 
08-Aug-13
Almost forgot our cache for the day already! It's going to be a long month :/. After a late night at work, I picked Pagan up and we made a quick visit to this cache. Thanks to the streetlight, once the phone GPS settled down, Pagan quickly located the cache and we had our names in the log. TFTC TeamRidley
 
03-Aug-13
Checked there twice, it was there the second time.TFTC
 
02-Aug-13
This one took a little while as my GPS decided on another spot and then another before settling on where it supposed to have been.
A couple of people passed through while I was wandering around the area, but I just hid my GPS behind my back and gazed at the trees until they had left.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks TeamRidley Cool All good with this cache

Was here yesterday checking out a munzee so I thought I would sign the log
