Thanks for my first find!

TFTC

TFTC. Easy find, the log book is mouldy and wet so we couldnt sign it. Needs maintenance!

Good location, not hard to find. Tried to fix lid with sticky tape to help seal from weather- placed photo in cache

Good hiding spot! Easy find

That was really cool but someone put a hole in iy and it got wet so yh

TFTC

My first Cache! Thank you the exciting journey now begins.

Toilet. Found

Thanks

Find the wooden seat...

First cache back from a long break from caching.. thanks to my fellow caching sister who convinced me to restart again.. had a bit of time up my sleeve so went out to this one.. definitely needs maintenance..

what a journey fr

Someone drilled a hole in the lid. Full of water

Thank you!

easy

The closest parking I could find was in pallychook drive (named after Henry, not one of his children). short amble soon had me close to GZ, but nothing seemed to fit the description. A similar "throne" on Moreton Island had been used by a visitor and was disgusting. Soon spotted the hide and found a rather soggy log book which I was just able to sign. Not surprising the log is wet, Lisylou, as there is a hole in the lid of the container. Unfortunately I didn't have a plastic bag to prevent the log book drying out. TFTC, Lisylou.

Mcdowells 25/3/24 looked in the wrong spot for age's but eventually found it.

Thanks found it with my family

Kaius & Crew

Was so good

Tftc

Looked in the wrong place for agesss and was sure it had to be lost but as we left we spotted it in an even more obvious spot lol Tftc!

Werent game enough to go through the bushes on a hot day

I headed out in the geo-car for a few caches today.

Decided to hit a few around Redbank Plains while down here visiting my family.

I found your cache, “The Throne” today. This is my 2291 find.

Can’t get easier than this.

Lisylou, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Yay! Found it!

TFTF

I was struggling to find it until i saw the container

We scaled through the treacherous and scary cliff side to find ourselves on a path through the forest.
Was very fun I believe it’s been left here for someone to sit and claim their royalty.

It was easy and fun to find

It was easy but fun to get out of the house

First one! Easy to find

Need to go into the bushes a little

Tftc

Nice spot

I need to chase caches this month so I'll give it a go. Once we found a good place to park it was only a short walk to GZ and we could see the aptly named cache. Couldn't decide whether it was a toilet or a royal chair so I decided it was a thunder box. Log signed before replacing as found. TFTC

haha has the pleasure of using the throne

The throne was found

Got a little confused with the navigation but found it!

Caching today for some crazy souvenirs and to do some maintenance.

Not sure what to expect here but soon realised why it was so named.

Out caching with RoddyC, imbunda

TFTCache Lisylou

Dropped the kids off at the pool

NICE ONE

Our first one! Very excited kids

Nice hide. TFTC

When placed there would not have any houses nearby. How things have changed. Tftc

At first I tried to approach this from the east but I realised I was unlikely to cross the creek and stay dry. So I drove a long way around to the other side. Lots of construction going on but the cache seems safe here as it is near the creek. Well done Lisylou on finding this aptly named hiding place.

Container was almost stuck because if the termites.
TFTC

I skirted around the nearby construction and had to dislodge some spider webs to retrieve it. Thanks Lisylou and happy caching

Finding it was very fun and kinda nice but was placed somewhere else which is fine since it was close

You have to be brave and walk though alot of bush's

My very first find

I’ve never been entirely sure about the point of entry for these caches, but today with a little time to spare I thought I’d drive around and have a look…

A little bit too clear path lead me straight to GZ… tftc…

Was not next to the river as my phone was showing it to be but more on the bush side.

We also got distracted by large fallen tree but persisted and found the throne!

DNF

Very nice afternoon walk to find this one. Excel log book. Excellent geo cache

Great hiding spot

Easy find
Zip lock bag on log book broken
Thank you

Good hide, nice throne

Wish it was real toilet

I can see why it's called the throne, pretty cool

Easy find

Kids think it's more like a toilet due to the hole in the middle

Thanks for the hide.

Thanks for the hunt, created must have done a bit of exploring to find this place.

Went out at night so its colour helped a lot to find it!

Found on 14.02.21 by BCZF

????

One of my goals for 2021 is to find more caches in Ipswich, set out this morning to grab a few.
Quick one!
Thank you for hiding this geocache and keeping me entertained Lisylou

??

We were thrown off by the massive fallen tree at first. Don’t get distracted by it though.

Tftc very clever throne

Don't get put off by the large root-looking throne. Look for a smaller throne!

It's a throne haha

.

Forgot a pen! But thanks for the cache! It’s a good one!

Not sure if too overgrown to see, couldn't find anywhere

I suck at this game will try again another day my kid wasnt really into it but i hope eventually he will come to like it well he is only 4 almost 5

Gooba's first find on his own in QLD

TFTC

Nice spot

Found while taking the dog for a walk. All good here with the cache.
Looks like urban development is slowly creeping in here.
TFTC

Great find.

Nice find with Harrisfami1.

Yeahhhh

Was a bit tricky to find at first but if you really look for it you’ll find it

With a little bit of stumbling we found the throne. Tftc

Had some time to kill in this neck of the woods - what better way than caching? Spent quite a time at this one distracted by another nearby landmark/feature that also matched the description (if you use your imagination)! The latest DNF made me think it was gone but an explore further afield and a better look at the cords revealed the prize TFTC

Found it

I spent a fair bit of time here, looking for it. Either you have fooled me again (quite possible) or it has washed away - there are signs of a very recent flood ... Thanks for the caches in this park, Lisylou.

Nice hide though a nest of big angry ants live on it at the moment..

Oh how the mighty tree ants guard this treasure.... careful of the biting centaurians!!!!!

GZ could certainly be a throne of some sorts, our only other comment is that the owner must have long legs. SL TFTC

Out with Geopartner heading up the trail from south to north.
Headed to GZ and soon Geopartner found what we were looking for.
Definitely a throne although could do with some padding as it could be a bit rough to sit on.
Signed the log and replaced back in hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Lisylou All good with this cache

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

Well, we found a way across the creek that kept us all dry, then we began looking (beyond the stranger half undressed!) until we found what I wasn't expecting - but yes, a throne nonetheless.

Log signed by all & replaced again. Found at 12.40pm on 14th July 2016. TFTC

A day out in the Collingwood Park area with RoddyC, Joojoo57, Patrol14, Sewrainbow & Nikid1.
After walking from 'the ruins' & tossing up whether we would be able to cross the creek to this one our intrepid leader headed off into the bush to forge a path with the rest of us straggling along. A suitable spot was found to cross over - right near where a young guy was doing I don't know what but we soon scared him off.
We were soon at the throne & had the log signed & replaced.
There followed a debate about whether to continue on this side of the creek to the next cache or head back to move the cars, it was decided to move the cars & we managed to find a much easier way back across the creek which required very little bush bashing as is often the way when caching!
