Tris and Jax. No luck. Can I suggest the next person who finds it leaves a clue or a photo with a spoiler alert?
Sneaky little geocash. Took us about 10 minutes, but we eventually found it!
GPS bounced around a little bit and we ended up looking in the complete wrong area but eventually found it! So cool!
Found it
Tricky find. Clever camoflauge
Took longer to find than it should have, needed a rest before finding

It was a dusky cold yet calm evening as we ventured into the shadows. Thankfully only a few hoodlums went past without any mischief and we were able to come away with another piece of treasure. Ps it was a bit off from where I thought the coordinates were, not much but enough to make it take way too long but Tftc:)
I had been here previously with GeoM and we had looked all over the place. Convinced I knew what I was looking for this time, I began a thorough search of the possible locations. Sure enough, I found it eventually. Very sneaky hide. TFTC!
Found while in the area visiting my son for his birthday. #13 for the day. Had to reach out to a previous finder for a hint and found it eventually. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
Abit tricky at first but checking back to where I had already looked ended up finding it
Back in Ipswich for medical appointments and waiting for other campgrounds to dry out after the recent rain events.
A very cold start to a fantastic winters day. Great to be able to get out and about tackling some caches.

Thanks to the co for placing the cache.

TFTC . Lived here a few years. First time here. Log full so added some more paper
I had the place to myself and made a quick find. The log is checkers and needs replacing. Thanks for the cache
I was on my way home from work in Redbank Plains today and undecided as to which cache I would snag for my cache of the day. I found myself along with the rest of the traffic being diverted off the main road and along a detour by a motorcycle police officer, and wouldn't you know it - I was then headed straight for this cache: decision made! I pulled up at gz and soon spotted the container. A quick retrieve and sign down the side of the log (where I could find room) and I was back on the road. Tftc misssusan79
Out doing the lab caches in the area and this was the only unfound cache I had in the area. I remembered why it was unfound when I arrived at GZ. It was muggle central when I last came by. Old mate mowing the lawn, the bloke across the street working on his car in the street and half a dozen mini muggles charging about in the road.
Blissfully peaceful today. Not a soul in sight. A short hunt of the likely spots to find the right one.
Glad to turn this to a smile.

Like others before me I’m in Goodna to do the ALs and thought I’d stop by and find a traditional or two... I made my mark on the fragile and very full log... tftc...
I last dropped by this cache in May 2016 and after scouting around and not finding the container, I was muggled out by residents across the road. I don't live too far away, so I have no real excuse for not getting back here, but the new labs and something to do in the area ensured I returned. [^]
At GZ, the GPS took me to a particular spot and as I glanced around, I immediately spied the cache. Hmm, clearly it was not that obvious on my first visit... I extracted it and added my name to the very start of the log. Noting the last couple of finds suggest it needs replacing, I was not keen to unroll fully and find no space to etch in.
Business done, I tucked it back and headed down the bike path for the other nearby icon that I have not paid any attention to.
Cheers misssusan79.

Found by Mary and David at 10:55. The log is extra full. Signed as mmob and circled. Such a nice quiet spot. Thought there would have been many children out and about during school holidays. Guess they were all indoors with their faces glued to a screen. Gorgeous bougainvillea nearby. Our thanks to misssusan79.
I should have noticed this cache earlier- it is sitting very close to my work and is easily accessed. As this year my main goal is to fill holes in the calendar, I appreciate easy drop-in caches like this that I can go and grab after a long day at work. If I'd beaten the previous team too, I could have claimed the find on an "unloved" cache, but now it seems the love is returning to this one! I'm also happy to see that I inadvertently stumbled upon a needed clue for Mystery at the Museum, so this was a happy find.
I did one circuit of the obvious spot, then a circuit of another likely spot, then a circuit of a less-likely host, before returning to the first place and finding the cache. I would concur with the previous finder, that it's not terribly difficult, but it somehow assumes some sort of camoflage and was easily overlooked on my first pass. Maybe if I was switched into nano mode (I hadn't actually looked for the size before searching), the tiny cache may have been more obvious the first time. It's a classic nano and should have been obvious. The log is a bit scrappy but there's still a bit of space for a few more to sign yet. Let's hope it's not another 20 months for the log to see light of day again!
Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for our amusement. This find was #798 for us.

Our for a little tour west towards Ipswich taking a spin on the Ipswich Motorway cycleway and beyond. Unfortunately this is not one of the great cycelways and at times is a little confusing as to where it goes and many times is disjointed path and road combinations.
Wow October 2017 since last found, seems geocaching does not have a high participation rate in this area. It was fairly obvious where the hide might be just not so obvious to find. Ended up pulling out the torch to assist but as it ends up I just was not looking properly to start with. It is NOT that hard it is only a D1.5.
Glad I dug in to keep looking as sometimes after a few DNF's the resolve to search can fade away.
Thanks for the cache missusan79

Not many muggles around and a good quick find here.

Second time I have gone looking for this cache! Found very quickly this time round. Tricky hide! Thanks for the cache!
Headed out with Vegan Cachers for a day of caching in nearby Ipswich and surrounds.
I hopped out with Mrs Vegan Cachers but she was quicker than I and had the cache very quickly.
Signed the log and returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks misssusan79 All good with this cache

A day of caching was planned, with Team Benders, to pick up caches that neither of us had found.
All caches found today by us were joint finds with Judy of Team Benders.
Our target for today was 30 caches but any number will do really.
(30 of 33 found for VC)
Another quickie for Geo-Mamma!
On a roll today!
Made our marks & replaced as found.

Another Thursday's caching with barbb and Mrs JAT and today we were on the lookout for Homer, some Christmas Memories and the Holy Grail. Our adventure started in Rocklea and ended in Bellbowrie, 13 caches found and 2 DNFs - it was a busy day!
This was another surprise cache for us today We had parked nearby on our way to gather some Christmas memories and it popped up on our radar. Oh I wonder where that little devil could be hiding? We had a bit of a poke around and came up empty-handed. Then barbb had a brainwave. Let's have a look over here...oh you sneaky thing! Log signed and we popped the cache back into its hidey hole. TFTC misssusan, I loved the frustration!

Mrs Just a Trifle was out and about today caching with Raynersinoz and barbbowman for a bit of Thursday fun. After previously finding some caches in a couple of different series placed by various caching teams, today's goal was to try to finish some of them off. Well we did manage to complete one, get the finals for a second, and make a dent in the third so it was quite a productive day really.
Thank you misssusan79 for having placed the series and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

After checking all around where the GPSr was pointing and finding nothing we decided to give it a miss. Then Mrs W commented if she had a cache here she'd place it 'in that'. So we wandered over, had a feel and soon had the cache in hand. Good one.
Thanks for the challenge here misssusan79.

Hmm, bugger. No joy for me on this one. Like others before me, I spent a little time in the bushes and on the other side of the wall. It's obvious there has been some attention around that area, but when reading previous logs, it appears I might have been in the wrong place anyway...
I scanned the other areas briefly, but moved on when the neighbours across the road ventured out of the house.
I'll be back another time for another go at this one. [^]

this was my second attempt at this cache and, again, the GPS was pointing me into the shrubs. It appears that a few other cachers have had the same problem as the shrubs are feeling the effects.
I decided that the cache would not be in there so I concentrated on the logical spot and still couldn't find it so I made a PAF call and was informed that I was searching in the right area and, of course, I saw a shine of the cache while I was talking on the phone.
Glad to finally get this one off the list.

Hubby was getting frustrated. After reading other logs i started to look where my fingers could fit but his couldn't ...... dadar found it. Tftc misssusan
Out and about today slowly making my way from Toowoomba to Darra. I have all day so a little detour to find a few caches.
I grew up in Ipswick so passing through a few places bringing back some memories. [^]
A bit of searching before finding it tucked away.
Thanks for the cache.

Today we explored Ipswich and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. A quick find.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We didn't have to wait for anyone but it was a bit tricky and Mum wouldn't tell us where it was!
Needed an R for January so this was a quick stop to grab it. Thanks misssusan.
Just needed an R for January challenge, so mum stopped here so we could make a quick find. Tftc misssusan.
While my kids were at dance lesson, I decided to find this cache. I looked here and there and then thought I wonder if it is in there. I could just see it as it was getting later in the day but when I reached in I could feel it. I had to get something to help me get it out. TFTC Misssusan!
A quick detour on our way home
We all started the search, and in no time I spied the cheeky cache which took longer to retrieve that to find

TFTC. #287. We split up and looked in a couple of different spots and luckily it was in one of them. A little tricky, so was satisfying to find.
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
This one was next up on our list today, and was a quick little rest stop for us Gaz had a quick search and couldn;t spot it, so Kab had a look and quickly spotted the cache We added our names to the logbook, and headed off to the next one
