Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Unable to find after a thorough look, the place has become a construction dump site so the cache may be missing

Might want to rethink your location...
Builders didn't appreciate it

The container is broken, the temporary lid that a previous hider has placed on it has not worked we found the log book not in the container. We added some nearby rubbish to try and make the container and log a bit safer

This area is badly in need of a CITO event here. We parked at the bottom of the street and walked to the cache so we got a good look at it. SL TFTC

Quick easy find with Harrisfami1! TFTC

Found it harrisfami1 and tattz23 going well today

Out for a day of caching with RoddyC, nikid1, Sewrainbow, Patrol14 and KerriMG around the Collingwood Park area. Quick find for us - pity about the rubbish near by.

A day out in the Collingwood Park area with Joojoo57, Patrol14, Sewrainbow, KerriMG & Nikid1.

As the others in the group made their way to Defin8, I detoured and discovered a track across the little-flowing creek. Great! So after the success of Sefin8 and the failure of Up the Flu, we headed across tho this one., past a heap of Christmas spillage. Did Santa's sleigh tip over here?

The cache was in a bit of a sad state, so some running repairs were carried on.

Log signed by all & replaced again. Found at 11.50am on 14th July 2016. TFTC

Lucky there's not been a lot of rain recently so we were able to cross the creek not far from this cache & follow the track in. As the other girls have said there was a whole lot of clothes, christmas ornaments, kids toys, shoes etc dumped nearby which would have required far more effort to get here than to take to a lifeline bin.
The cache was quickly found although it's missing it's lid. Mrs RoddyC improvised & recycled some of the nearby collection to fashion a new lid.
Log signed & cache replaced where found.

Headed out as a group this morning. RoddyC, Patrol 14, JooJoo57, Sewrainbow and KerriMG to do some CGing in the area. This was find number 8. Approaching GZ there was a large amount of dumped rubbish in the area; makes me so sad to see. There was a lot of Christmas rubbish here, but I couldn't help but grab a snowman that had been dumped and take him home (he's now in the garden) and I noticed that Roddy C took a ball. Was a little too much for us to do much more without a bag, but if future finders bought a rubbish bag it would slowly make a dint in the pile.
Now back to the cache....that was quickly grabbed and signed although it was missing it's lid, so we used some rubbish for that too.
thanks missusan79.

Out for a day of Geocaching with RoddyC, Joojoo57, sewrainbow, KerriMG and nikid1 in this area.
A fun day out and interesting places to visit.

After visiting Define8 we backtracked a bit to cross the creek enroute to this one and then came across a pile of rubbish dumped in the bush. Disappointed that people feel it necessary to just dump it here rather than take it to a charity shop or rubbish tip instead. Tips are not expensive.
Cache was found easily but missing a piece. Covered the best we could.

Caching with friends. Lovely walk but unfortunately saw a huge pile of dumped rubbishy nearby. It's so sad to see. TFTC

Nice

**# 14249** Found on our 2016 winter escape trek.
A cloudy afternoon for a drive around the East side of Ipswich.
A good quiet spot and not one muggle around here either.
Thanks for the cache misssusan79,

Cute container, unfortunately a bit broken Tftc

Shame that the cache is broken - looks like a lot of maintenance needed in this series - TFTC

Found with family and friends TFTC

No teddy bears and no picnic but still got a cache

Found it. Lid missing. Needs maintenance. With the tiger croc cache making hags. Tftc

Found it! Great time for the pen to stop working

TFTC! Yes such a shame all the rubbish plus it's now guarded by a medium sized 8 legged centurion! Made me jump!!

Note: This was found by Neversaydi on the above date. NeverSayDi & E(: are combining accounts and are now TeamDIEL just consolidating. Thanks.

Find after walking amongst the rubbish , what a pity TFTC

Easy find

Found Teddy tucked away but empty and a bit broken. So we added a couple of pieces of paper in a ziplock bag. Hopefully that will keep this cute cache going for a while.

Thanks for the cache misssusan79.

Nothing inside cute teddy though

Teddy is empty

Re my previous log - Teddy is still there but broken and no log

Hope to see him back in action soon.

TFTC

The goal for today was Lisylou and Misssusan79's power trail through the Dr Harry Ratnam Reserve. We took the mountain bikes as it looked easy going. Seems there has been a lot of regrowth after a burn-off recently and the grass was pretty high in places. Combined with the creek crossings - a fun afternoon.

Unfortunately muggles have got to Teddy and he was found in a couple of pieces (pics attached) and no sign of the log. I hope the CO is ok with me claiming a find here?

TFTC.

Log bridge creek crossing after the rain. Dog fell in but I didn't!

cache find #1927. Drove the geo tug almost up to GZ. Mr GT54 found the clever cache container. Off to another cache location. TFTC.

TFTC...

A very cute cache. Thanks for the cache misssusan79!

YIPPEE, the sun is out.
After yesterdays rain the creeks were flowing and there was lots of mud about.
I made my way around this collection of caches in a couple of hours.
All were dry and in good condition.
Thanks for the cache.

Such a cute little container. Again, Dr Pepi was the first to GZ with my compass pointing in a totally different direction >.< TFTC, TNLNSL

Find number 7 for the day with trin_007. On our way to GZ started to wonder whether the "surprise" was that we'd end up in a trailer park, or that there'd be some random squatting out here amongst the trees. Such a bizarre area, apparently used for dumping all kinds of rubbish. Began to feel that we might need tetanus shots just to walk around in here… anyway, came to a fork and due to some creative differences (or technological differences) Trin and I decided to go our separate ways…. lucky for me my compass was the one that was more accurate this time, and ended up at GZ without any drama. Super cute container, all dry and happy.

Out and about for a play day with kestal and bulldozer72 This group of caches have been on my radar for a while, so today was the day to take the big walk [^] Now that's a cute container! I was hoping to see a teddy bear, and he made me smile. TFTC, misssusan79.

Out making some finds and enjoying so much sunshine in the middle of winter as we walk around and collect a few extra smileys. Fantastic little container. TFTC misssusan79

Out caching with Remsjw. Cute cache!

There's a bear in there having a nice cuppa with mnance101 and me. Shame to disturb him but we had to sign the visitors book.

Out and about following this run of caches on a sunny winters day. This was next on the map and we soon had the cache found and the log signed. TFTC

With a day off from work today, I decided to spend my time out here, grabbing this series of caches. This one was next up on the list today, and made my way from Define8, heading along the tracks,a cross the creek and into this cache I soon arrived at GZ, and spotted the likely GZ on approach, and sure enough it revealed the cache With the logbook signed, and the cache returned, it was time to head off for a quick lunch break, and to finish off the remainder of the series I thoroughly enjoyed this series, with a great variety of parkland, bush, tracks and crystal clear creek crossings

On an extremely pleasant Autumn afternoon with the ParFoxFamily, I went a-wandering around the back of RBP.

Cute cache container!

Thanks for the trail MissSusan and LisyLou!

We went the longest way possible but we eventually got there and found it

TFTC. Very funny to see the little face staring out at us.

I drove over for an early morning stroll, knowing I wouldn't have enough time to do all of the series here, but keen to make a start.
The 'no dumping' sign tipped me off as to what I was about to encounter. Not for the first time in recent weeks, I was disturbed by the amount of stuff left abandoned on the sides of the track. When I think of the size and scope of Brisbane's waste management systems and the number of recycling options out there, I struggle to understand why people need to dump stuff like this. Maybe some of it's been stolen? A CITO day out here would fill a skip pretty quickly.
Anyway, editorial over... The magpies and other birds decided to welcome me loudly into their domain as I trod in carefully. After some unnecessary bushbashing (little navigation slip by me), I revealed the very cute little container. All business done, it was time to move on and see what other creatures awaited nearby. TFTC in a nice area.

Pulled up here at eagle st and my phone decides to play up eventually get it together and off we go to this one had a muggle friend and her 2 yr old with us I was a little concerned how we would go muggle friend had thongs on and 2 yr old isn't a good walker but all good grabbed this one and took a couple of photos very cute even got a grin from 2 yr old muggle

The last in what has been a great series of caches through this patch of bush. A few creek crossings, lots of longish grass, some lantana but plenty of well placed caches... A great morning indeed... [^]

This one was a nice easy find to wrap things up and another very appropriate container. With my details in the log, it was time to return to the car and make my way home, via another couple o caches of course...

thanks for your effort and that if Lisylou for the caches. It's much appreciated.

Cheers misssusan79.

So, after many moons of self-restraint and little caching, I treated myself to an outing today. This trail has been on my radar for a while. Probably should have left the white Nikes at home though and brought the boots

I think this cache container would go well with my ginger cat teapot! Easy find and all is fine with Teddy.

TFTC misssusan79

What a cute lil cache, and a nice quick find too. TFTC

Found on a day of Caching. I loved the container. Nice hide. TFTC.

Out for a caching run today along the recent trail of caches in the area. An enjoyable trail but also much frustration as I always seemed to attack a lot of the caches from the wrong side of the creek so then had to spent valuable time searching for an acheivable crossing. Having approched this one from the nearby Tree Food cache I managed to find a crossing of the creek by standing on some bunches of reed. Managed to keep the feet dry but could hear the water running underneath. It was a shame to see the large amount of rubbish dumped in the area on the walk in. Once at GZ it was a quick search and the well themed cache was to hand. Tftc

Cool container. Found without any issues. TFTC

took quite a long route around to this one, but I managed to follow nice tracks, roads and trails the whole way to GZ.

I think this teddy has had a few sandwiches too many. Quite a chubby little fellow. He was also retaining water, the poor little chap. I helped him out with that. The log was damp, but still quite OK.

Moving on from tree food, I took a direct line to this one and struck a high reed wall. Scouted about for a bit and found a faint track which got me across the creek and on to GZ, an earlier cacher maybe? Bear was quite happy with the picnic, so I said "see ya", and headed back to the car. Series completed and greatly enjoyed. Thanks misssusan79

A walk along from tree food and around the reeds, I made my way along to retrieve this little guy. Ah cute container. Stopped for a cup of tea with him whilst I signed my log. TFTC

It’s a good thing that I trimmed my beard the other day.

I had just been at Define8 and was running in more or less straight line towards Teddy Bears when I came to a creek… Hmm… This would usually not slow me down, but I left my handy geoCrocs behind at a party and was not in easy dry, easy to clean, creek-crossing shoes.

So I scouted up the creek a little till I found a place narrow enough to jump. I still rated my chances of misfortune pretty highly though, so I threw my bag and shoes over before making the jump. I was a little surprised to land nicely, so I grabbed up my stuff and kept on running.

A few meters later I came out onto a path and rather surprised a dog walking muggle.

I guess it’s not often large, sweaty, barefooted fellow leaps out of the brush nearby. This is why I’m glad I didn’t have my crazy beard on too.

There was nothing for it but for a cheery (maybe a little sheepish) good morning.

After a little explaining how I was doing an orienteering treasure hunt, muggle chuckled and wandered off with his dog and I found a bear.

Nice cache Miss Susan. Thanks!

After leaving the Tree Food we discussed which way to go to this cache. We chose the wrong one but found an interesting cool little creek crossing. Luckily these was no water in there today but I can imagine it being a problem after rain.

Of course we found the track once we arrived at the other side of the creek.

The cache was easy to locate. A neat little cache for the picnic.

TFTN. Thanks. Now on to find Definate8
