Computer Games Burpengary, Queensland, Australia
By Slow Puncture on 15-Dec-13. Waypoint GC4VFF8

Container broken, recent fire has removed all potential places to re-hide. It had a good run.

The SPs were out today on a maintenance run.

Visited with some TBs whilst we retreived the remains of the cache.

This one will be disabled until we decide whether we will replace it or not.

Found it but was destroyed probably by fire. Maintenance needed

??

Cache is very creative but it is very wet couldn’t even log it need new log TFTC

Too much water
Someone didn’t put cover up protect
Couldn’t log in

Hooray cute cache

Found easily but it was flooded with water. Dried it out as best we could and added a new dry notebook despite the precautions that have been taken

I missed the track on the way in to this one, so I cruised up to the pool and found the cache up there first.

Spotted the track on the way back and took Evie for another off road adventure to this one.

Nice container.

We have made camp in the Caboolture showgrounds for a week.
Today we headed south to Burpengary then caching on the way back into town. Visited many locations we had not been before, lots of great hides.
Thanks for placing this cache Slow Puncture (LJCC)

Second one in these woods today. A very different outer container - all good with this one.

I was a good little geocacher today and parked where I was advised [^]. Good thing too, as I didn't notice a break in the traffic the whole time I was at GZ. Had a lovely stroll and an almost easy find. I like the container. It's always nice when someone takes the trouble to do a little bit more. TN/LN/TFTC.

Early morning find before a meeting in morayfield

Tftc

Unusual cache indeed

The SPs were out today on a maintenance run.

Visited with some TBs whilst we attended to the cache.

This one received a new log book which is now inside a separate container, and the main container has been cleaned out as best as can be.

Cache and log are pretty wet. Still a great find though.
TFTC

cool cache (log soaking) TFTC

Got it, love the container. unfortunately the cache had about 3cm of water in it. We managed to sign the log, sort of. TFTC

I can see why this one earned so many fave points - good one! Was out with geoteen going on midnight, as they say one way to get teen boys to talk about stuff is to do something active, got him off his computer games and got to unpack some hard stuff so cheers for bringing us to this trail.

I was not so much into computer games in the 80's but I did like the band, Mi-Sex at the time. This cache attracted our attention with its high favourite points.
Being a very hot day and short on time, we parked at the closed part of the road to the cache with plenty of room on the edge, near the overgrown Environmental park sign. We jumped into the bush clambering over lots of branches and wading through the deep spongey pine needle leaf litter. Soon found a track which we crossed then circled around following the flighty arrow on the gps. The ground here was also deep with scribbly bark.
J soon spotted some military issue camouflage and the very cute cache was revealed. What a great idea! Lots of room for swaps but unfortunately very wet inside. We managed to sign the log but it is soaked. Certainly needs a dry out.
Rescued a minion and left an explorer card, bangle and ring.

Who says "the Matrix grid don't care"? Certainly not a crazy bunch of Loopers that's for sure
However I remember whiling away the hours with a few particularly enjoyable computer games in my youth - on great big 5 1/2 inch floppy discs at that. Frogger, Pacman, Alley Cat, Boulder Dash, Digger, Dig Dug..... hmmm better stop there or it'll look like we never did anything else!!
Heading past some very sweet little birds that unfortunately my phone camera couldn't pick up clearly in my attempts to get pictures, we soon arrived at GZ to make a very cute find.
Unfortunately after all the rain, there was lots of water inside. Drained out the water but logbook soaked too - could hardly write our names without damaging the paper. Also unfortunate is that due to the fact I'd taken stuff out of the car for its service yesterday, and today's outing had been quite spontaneous, I had nothing spare on me to throw in the container as a temporary logbook. Doh! Sorry guys but a trip over here with some new dry paper may be in order before this computer game malfunctions.
Thanks for the cache Slow Puncture (LJCC).

After finding the other cache in here, I told my son we had to get this one too, he wasn’t pleased (it was hot and as we found out later we were both getting burnt despite sunscreen) but he also didn’t want to ride here again!
We had to walk the last 150m as someone has put trees down over the track. What a cute cache, definitely not your ordinary container. Tftc Slow Puncture.

A very cool container indeed a few ants inside but otherwise its looking good TFTC

Tick! Today I am collecting random caches to help me fulfil challenges before I head down to Canberra. Your cache has a particularly desirable date to help fulfil my grid. I was walking to this one nice and early so I appreciated the waypoint of the other entrance as the morning rush here is pretty intense.

Quick easy find

Cute. Not quite the expected container.

Camo bag needs replacing and contents bit damp.

TFTC

GPS took me further into scrub than where I needed to be YUK. Turned around and headed for logical spot- wham. TFTC

Today, I met up with Mrs RoddyC to clear a few green boxes in the area. Mr RoddyC had joined us. After finding a nearby cache, we made our way to this one. I spotted a likely spot, only to realise that Mr RoddyC was already there! I made my way in and saw the cute container before we added dour names tot he log. TFTC

Mr RoddyC had a job to do in Morayfield today, so what better excuse could one find to go geocaching with Selva Girls in the area.

We decided to continue or walk from Down Down just up the track a couple of hundred meters away.

Oh, I haven't seen a container like this in years. Made in China, was it> Haha! Nicely done!

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 3.20pm on 17th May 2017. TFTC. Slow Puncture (LJCC)

Thanks for this one

TFtc

After finding Down Down, I continued walking to this cache where a nice trail led me to GZ. All good with the cache. TFTC Slow Puncture

Love the container. Tftc

Q. Who stole the cookie from the cook cookie jar?

A. Some gamer!

Tftc

Super cool lil dude! Team Ireland- Booyah!

What an interesting cache thanks for that and the nice walk

We found ourselves in the area today so we decided we should take some time to find a few caches while we were here. We had no difficulty today and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you Slow Puncture (LJCC) for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy.

Nice spot and container. Tftc

love the container. tftc

Nice little geotrail to the cache. The camo bag is disintegrating but still doing its job of camo when draped over the top of the cache.
I grabbed the cache thinking that it was made of plastic. As I did his head fell off which is never a good look, but luckily it landed on some grass and not on a stump, so it lives to see another day. I quickly signed the log and can report that i did return it as found.
Thanks for the cute cache Slow Puncture.

Found it. Bags ripped on bottom

Great container. Found a cheeky spider inside so be wary when extracting the log. TFTC!

Wednesday. On the way back from Morayfield after watching Star Trek: Beyond, we were at a loose end and thought we would perform some needed maintenance on the two caches in this area.

With RhoBoCacher and PirateLady64 in tow from the last cache, we traveled to this one as it had also had reports of being waterlogged.

RhoBo found GZ and at some stage the special camo we had over it has ripped, still not quite sure how the container got wet - or how someone had managed to damage the container - nonetheless it is still useable.

We cleaned out the conatainer, and removed everything that could not be dried. A new logbook is now in place inside a new bag. All good here now.

So after finding Down Down we took a walk with Mr & Mrs Slow Puncture to this cache, along the way we did some CITO and had a chat. Not long after we arrived close to GZ and then Mr & Mrs S.P. let us find it. I must of had geosenses working on point as within a short time I had it found yey. So we dried out container and replaced log and snap lock bag and signed and replaced. We covered to try to prevent rain getting in might be a good idea for fellow cachers to cover as well as you can to prevent the rain from making it wet again. TFTC and I loved the cache container very unusual and thanks for the company while finding these two caches

Was too wet to write on the log.

Walking down the track beside the busy road and no one knows what we are up to. We then dart off the track to find this cache and the geodaughter and I took two separate routes. Hers led straight to the cache. Mine led straight to Armageddon. We enjoyed the cache container and tried really hard to add our name to the log book but it was soaked hard. We left a US penny to confirm our visit. Geokid had to do a C3PO impression. tftc

Down visiting Brisbane for the weekend. While waiting for friends to finish work popped out for some caching after the rain cleared. Nice walk into cache.. Quite different from our trails up north TFTC love a unique container

Quick easy fun find. There was a spider in the lid. Kids will love this.

Tftc a nice walk

This was the first of several caches lined up for this area today. I must've taken the wrong path to get to the final location as I find myself traversing some reeeeally snakey looking terrain [:o]. I managed to find cache ok and found a much easier way out. Thanks SP.

Nawww so cute!!! Tftc

Had to go to Burpengary, so we stopped on our way to have a look at Computer Games. Great Cache! tftc

Great Cache! tftc

Heading down down from the previous cache, walked straight to this camo'd cache. Watch the resident guardian spider that has made the container home. TFTC Slow Puncture

Needing a clue

Thanks for the cache cool spot

Continuing on from the last stop and this was the next cache up, it was good to get a little walk in and soon I was getting close to GZ. Unlike the last stop I was all but able to walk straight up to the container without a problem. I got my name in the log book and soon I was heading back to the car.

TFTC

After parking at the suggested co-ords we headed along the track through a nice area of bushland. Once we reached GZ it did not take too long to discover what we were looking for. Love the container. We added our name to the log and replaced the cache before heading back along the path. TFTC

Nice different one! Thanks!

It is always good to find something a bit different and we were glad to be able to bag this one for another smiley. TFTC.

While geodaughter was at an AFL camp I ducked away for a walk/jog. The path to GZ appears to be little used and is rapidly being taken by nature! The cache was quite an easy find. The co-ords were spot on. Really liked the container. Very apt. PS I saw Mi-Sex live a number of times in Sydney in the early 80s.

Found Ok

Camped at Caboolture for a few weeks, and headed out to enjoy the beautiful weather.
There was a good of variety of hides, some a little tricky.

This cache was found after a short search, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Slow Puncture (LJCC), for us and others to find.

TFTC , was my find toget my Road Trip 15 souvineer. Thanks

Thanks for the Cache, I picked up a travel bug (Ratty), will move in on soon

Not the usual container indeed. I was driving by and i thought to myself. "I bet there is a cache there". And there it was. Thanks for placing this cache in a nice spot. TB discovered but not moved. Added some swag and my name to the log. TFTC

After playing jumping games with the Cache's guardians we came across the unusual container.

Tftc

Tftc, definately a different cache then normal.

Cool cache! FP from me for the geekiness. Thanks!

TFTC

Watch out for cache guardians on the way in.....

Nice hide, loved the different container. TFTC, and this was a song favourite of mine many years ago....

Another foray into the sunshine coast hinterland was on the agenda for today.
Let's see how many more smilies we can coax out of the region!

LOVE IT! LOL ...

Parked roadside & made the short walk to GZ.
Co-ords pointed me straight at the cache & WOW!
My first reaction was one of 'Hello, what have we here?' quickly followed by 'I hope there are no bloody spiders hiding here!'. LOL ...
Proceeded to the next step & was most impressed indeed!
Almost logged 'Muggled' & took it home! JOKING!!!
Signed the log & replaced all as found. TNLN.

TFTC Slow Puncture

A definite favourite point for this one!

Great spot and a very different cache container. Enjoyable walk aside from the mosquitoes. TFTC.

Found it. Love the container. Great one for the kids. Tftc

I was heading to Bribie for the weekend and had time to find a few caches on the way.

I had found the other nearby cache and had left it hanging out to dry while I took the stroll to find this one.

I was intrigued by all the sand castle ant mounds on the track. It shows that there are not too many people that stroll down this way.

I soon found the cache and was interested in the camo. I removed the cache and inspected it Haven;t seen one like this before.

signed the log and put it all back and headed back through the sand castles.

TFTC.

Great cache with great coords but the mozzies wow they were full on tftc

Mozzie city left tb all good in there tftc

My three month Brisbane adventure is continuing. I'm 13 days into the second month of it.

Today, I'm fed up with the heat and humidity at Mum's place. I've set her up with a stack of stuff to sort out, where she can rest and watch the cricket. My GeoMobile now contains the GeoSchnauzers, heaps of ice water, my geocaching kit, and my good self. We're off to Caboolture for an arvo of caching and short walks. As it turned out, it was cooler and less humid where we were, so we did longer walks. I watched the boys take the first three wickets before we left, and, after a while, went out so they had a chance of getting more. It worked, but not well enough. The Indians played well, from what I could hear on the radio.

No 7 of 14 today. Thanks, Slow Puncture (LJCC). Shades of Isaac Asimov. Great container. I had to park across the busy road, so the poor GeoSchnauzers waited in the shade but in the GeoSUV again. I enjoyed the short if noisy walk into the scrub, and quickly found the cache.

Found it at 5:10pm TFTC

tftc...

While my normal partner in crime was heading out with some-one else for the day, I took the opportunity of meeting up with the male member of the CO's for a day of caching. Dropping Barb off in Morayfield, we decided to grab a couple on the way.

On arrival at parking spot we realised this belonged to my new partner for the day. Well this should be easy

Barb quickly located the cache. Duties done, cache replaced.

TFTH

Owner maintenance today whilst in the company of BarbBowman and FastEd59. Visited with a number of Travel Bugs. All good here.

fasted picked up the CO on the way to dropping me off to spend the day with Iolanthek

we will just grab a couple on the way
oh no
after stopping we realise it is a slow puncture cache
oh well ... owner maintenance lol

like where he is sitting
and he is very cute

took duck
left green ribobn

I found myself in the area having to kill a bit of time after dropping off my car for a service.

After taking a short lunch break it was time to grab some more caches and having gotten the previous one in the area I couldn't let this last one go.

It doesn't appear to be a track leading into this one, so I had to find my own. Upon getting to ground zone I put my GPS away as I noticed something that looked out of the ordinary for this location!

I wandered over and sure enough, it was a cache!!

Interesting container!

TFTC

Cool container!
Tftc

5:43 pm tftc

at 1:30pm TFTC

It is very hard to walk towards this one with out humming along to "compu pu pu pu pu pu ......"

Arrived at GZ and found this one quickly!

Now I have never seen a container like this before!!

Thanks Slow Puncture.

NRN: Out and about today just me and Suzi. Got a milestone coming up and I wanted to sort out the mess on my map around here - stars aligned and here I am.

Came at this, obviously, from the wrong angle, and took a couple of moments searching the obvious spots before I saw the truly obvious spot - the one with a container in it, yep, that'd be it. Duh! A different sort of container (no I hadn't checked the photos out prior)

Thanks for placing this cache, Team LJCC. Found in good condition.

Easter weekend 2nd-6th April 2015 in Stanthorpe, QLD.

After getting back to the car from “Down, Down” and realising this one had the same suggested parking WP, was too hot and tired to back track again so regretfully prepared to skip this one. When I noticed the icon appearing a lot closer as I drove along the other side of the bushland, pulled up on Gleeson Road and lightly bush bashed a short 80m to a cute little cache I was now glad I had attempted. Hope it’s treated gently and lasts in this environment.

Woot woot after a little search found it love the cache :p picked up the trackable and will drop in another closer to the city TFTC

TFTC love the cache favorite from me don't give out many so be happy and enjoy the game

We arrived to visit friends nearby - we managed to get our caravan into their yard (only just). Then it was time to head out and find some caches. We look forward to doing as many as we can in the week or so that we are here. Nice one - fav point alloc - we liked the container. We found the cache after a short search.[^][^] Thanks to Team LJCC.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 11:53am. We couldn't find access in so had to bushbash but found the cache quickly. TFTC

I did this one ages ago and just realized I havnt logged it. I loved this cache! tftc

Great container tftc

Unique container, first I've seen like it. All well here, took Birthday TB. TFTC
