Thirsty? Goodna, Queensland, Australia
By misssusan79 on 25-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4XHFR

I believe the local kids keep taking this cache so after replacing it many times it is time to move away from this area.

:/

Definitely not there

G'day,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. I'm just posting to update you on what your requirements are as a cache owner as you may have forgotten or not been very clear on what you need to do.

The maintenance email you received would have highlighted what you need to do but [here](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=713) is a reminder.

- Maintenance: Visit your geocache, make any needed repairs, and post an “Owner Maintenance” log so the community knows it’s available to find. Consider updating the description, hint and/or the Difficulty/Terrain rating if it appears that geocachers are having trouble finding it. If your cache was fine, please indicate so with the "Owner Maintenance" as well. The "Owner Maintenance" log cancels out any existing "Needs Maintenance" attributes on the cache page.

- Disable: If you cannot check on your geocache within a reasonable amount of time, please disable your geocache listing. Once you perform maintenance, you can enable it and post an “Owner Maintenance” log.

- Archive: If you decide it is time for your geocache to be permanently retired, please archive the listing and retrieve all physical stages.

If you are not sure how to post any of these logs, then there is a great [help centre article](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=234) that you will want to have a read of. You will need to post an owner maintenance log once you have visited the cache and rectified any issues to clear the needs maintenance attribute on your cache.

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Rgds,
Matt - Ministro.

Nothing there anymore

No luck finding this one
Thanks for the hunt

My second attempt at finding this one and, again, I had trouble getting the GPS to settle and I used the hint for a starting point.

There is plenty of signs of people moving the mulch around but there is so much that it would take a rake and 30 minutes to find if there is anything under it all.

I'll see if others have better luck.

Found it this time. Beede a bit more camming up so covered it well. Tftc misssusan

TFTC looked for a while with no luck. After seeing the cache in the pics noticed that a similar container was down the hill in the rubbish, bingo. Not sure if it was thrown their or washed away, but have returned it to near the big rock and covered with deadfall

This one wasn't well hidden from the previous finder so I put it back well covered....left a toy, singed the log and on our way!

Atlast I hear you say! I have only been back three times..... Nav still all over the place but I had geohubbys set of eyes with me this time. Glad to have this one done it was bugging me tftc

found with geofamily

Quick and easy find

I wasnt thirsty but glad to find a cache.

Nice! TFTC!

Nice! TFTC!

Note :This was found on the above date. NeversayDi & E(: are combining our accounts and we are now TeamDIEL. Just consolidating our finds. Thanks.

Two very excited geokids!!

What a great geocache!!! The geokids were super happy with this find. Didn't have a pen though so we couldn't fill out the log

The app directions we're taking us the wrong way! Found it eventually!

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 9:43am. Lots of road works going on near here. The cache is in good condition. TFTC

Woo.. bit hard in the dark

A bit of time to kill in brissy before meeting up with friends. Getting some local caches found. Quiet spot on the weekend. Tftc. No trackable inside, but one listed.

TFTC. easy once we looked a little further away

Took awhile but we found it

tftc. easy find. grass was recently cut near by, but it was still there

Thank you

Walked past lots of times lol. But eventually found it

Found it! Put a toy for a boy and girl. Good luck, quite easy

Today we explored Ipswich and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.

Co ords out but managed to find the cache, left TB.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Yay! We found it, the girls had a great time searching through all of the little trinkets inside. Replaced with a few trinkets of our own.

Found this one while out caching with the 4 geo kids for the day

took a bit longer than it should have since coords had me 15m from cache

thank-u

Well I most definitely have been thirsty most of the day, as it has been quite a warm day today, though apparently not as warm as we are expecting.

I was glad that I had reasonably good timing here and was pulling up well before school out time, as that could have caused some issues I am sure.

Anyway parked at the bottom of the hill and wandered up the dirt track. I start having a look around at a few spots and then noticed something just a little bit out of place and sure enough there was the container. I got my name in the book and rehid the cache as found.

TFTC

This is my first Geocache. Found it on second attempt.

Well hidden. Geowifey spotted it.

Didn't find it... Is it there anymore???

I fear for the safety of this cache as previous finders have found it easily. Hope it is just blindness.

Hey Misssudan79 and geokids ! What a great cache thank you and I love the little owl book

Too many people about today. Need to try at a different time of day.....

TFTC nice quick dash and lots of fabulous swaps for kids

Dropped into Goodna to get my car washed so thought I would do this one. TFTC Misssusan79!

First find. Yay!!!

TFTC. #290. A quick find after a short home up the hill. This is a huge tank!

Tftc. Cache was in open view... we have covered it over.

Nice find TFTC !!

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

This one was next up on our list today so we pulled up along the main road, and headed up the hill. We spotted the cache quickly, and added our names to the logbook. A quick find, and we were soon onto the next cache

Cool view. Nice and easy.

Easy I liked this one ... lots of stairs

TFTC!!! Was heaps of fun!!

Came at this one from below and found quite a few steps to climb. Not to much for me to worry about seeing as I spend most of my days building them. Did not take long before I found the cache. A little exposed but all good with the cache. Signed and placed back with a little more camo;

FastEd dropped us off at Geebung train at 6.15
IolantheK picked us up at Chelmer at 8.00
then off to Springfield we go

an extra find and climb for me while IolantheK plotted our next visit in the nice dry car

took furby
left green ribbon

A quick find in a nice area. Thanks for the cache misssusan!

A quick find in a lovely area! Thanks for the cache misssusan79!

Heading westward for a play day around Gatton with teamdfl, and as she had got caught in traffic snarls, I had a few spare minutes so went around to grab this one. Although it was school drop off time I still managed to find a great parking spot and took the wander up to GZ. Some workers in a cherry picker truck made my search a little trickier, but the cache was very exposed so was a quick find. And I made good use of the very convenient spot to sit right nearby TFTC, misssusan79.

Love how when you get to a cache you realise how it got its name?
Saw it straight away at this one.
Good Hint helped us get this one quickly. Whint and I were moving close to our next century of finds.

Out for a long and very enjoyable day of caching with Bristracker and Whint today. Yes after walking up the steps I was a bit thirsty. TFTC

Found quickly with karenhippo & bristracker Had a little play with the cute furby in the cache... lovely pink fellow cache signed before making out way to the next cache... cache number #1399 for me!

tftc

Yay! We found out first geocache! Kids are so excited

I decided to take the short cut. It was a nice steep walk! TFTC

Found while on a quick trip to Goodna with Will.I.Am.elia & Co. We took the long way, but it was worth it in the end.

thanks for the cache misssusan79

nice quick find with an old hag. tftc will.I.am.elia & co.

Goo clue

Continuing my visit to this area, out of the car and put the geodog on the lead. A little walk up the gravel track and a good clue too led me to a nice sized cache. TFTC

Out and about today with doscrapbooking.
We grew up a suburb or two away so it was good visit some old haunts and see the changes in the neighbourhood.
We parked the car close by and walked up the hill. A quick find as is was exposed as we approached. Covered it up before leaving.
Thanks for the cache.

Hello from Sweden
Now I'm out and about with Brother Colin.
TFTC

On our to what i thought was the Gold Coast for the day (changed our minds half there and came back to bris because of the weather) we pulled up here just on school time. Made the walk to GZ and made a quick dind. Great swaps and yep I'm thirsty after that little walk. TFTC misssusan79

!!!!tftc!!!!!! Nice view up here !!!!!!!

nice view TFTC

A nice quick find tftc susan

Driven the Smurf Cache-mobile past here many hundreds of times - stopped today for a smiley and a TB - we'll move him on!
TFTC

A nice quick find for us today. TFTC

Nice quick find after at first trying to get to it from the wrong direction. TFTC

A nice quick find to settle the frustration of a previous DNF... I followed the water channel to the top and quickly located the container..

Cheers misssusan79.

After the short stroll there are about fifty stairs up the shortcut that are much easier to come down. Thirsty was quenched high up overlooking the passing traffic. Contemplated a rest stop another short stroll away.

While on the way home from work today I thought why not stop for a quick Cache. This was a nice quick on with no Muggles around. TFTC.

After doing some shopping this morning I got home and said to the kids get in the car we'll go and hunt down misssusans new cache. Knowing it was kid friendly I didn't want to go alone. So I gave them the hint and let them track it down. Nice easy find. They were happy to make some swaps. Tftc

This cache brought back lots of good memories We used to live only 3 doors up the road from the water tower when my kids were little. We used to visit here every weekend with the kids. They would ride their bikes up here and would ride round and round the water tower chasing each other. They would then play chase up the stairs up to the top of the tower. . The kids have grown up but I enjoyed visiting the area today.

I was at my house at Goodna painting today (as I have been for the past 4 months). So for lunch today Stairman1 and I took a drive to this one. We parked at the water tower and took the stairs. These stairs weren't always here so it was much easier maneuvering them. Turns out I didn't need to go down them anyway . I quickly located the container and placed my name in the logbook. Well done for this hide. A nice area to visit. thanks

Missed this one last night and so thought I'd grab it this morning. What a great spot, it's amazing the hidden treasures you find while geocaching. Quick find and log signed. Good to see the geokids keen. A fantastic first hide for the young ones and I think a favourite is in order. Thanks misssusan79

We were passing through the area this afternoon along the highway so we decided to take a short detour to this one. Parked near the school and took the path.What a view from up here. This is a great spot for a cache. Nice to see it well stocked with 'booty'. Great for the kids.
Thanks misssusan79 and family.

I was sitting at home half-hoping for some new caches to appear, as there is a public holiday to follow. Sure enough, a steady stream followed but all were quite some distance away. I decided to head out to the closest, thinking, 'I bet something closer pops up while I'm over there.' Sure enough, I was halfway over the Gateway when this new cache appeared, and predictably, I was only 2TF at Carindale. Feeling fresh, I decided to get back on the motorway and follow it all the way around to Goodna.
When I arrived, not being local and having done no research, I was a bit surprised to see what lay ahead, but it all made sense. The terrain wasn't too tough but I was glad I had a torch.
The cache was easily spotted, and it is indeed a nice size and full of nice swaps. I was actually a little surprised to find myself *FTF* but I guess that's the luck of the draw. You would probably get some nice views from here during the day: it was a bit hard to tell so late at night.
TFTC missusan1979 and family: I hope this one sees a lot of good action for you.

FTF at 10.39pm more to come. Nice cache!
