Ahhh Spahhh Helidon Spa, Queensland, Australia
By Scarlet Devil on 07-Apr-14. Waypoint GC51ZXH

Change of ownership of property and garden (cache location) has been removed.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

We called in on our way back home from out west, and saw changes straight away. The old cafe advertised steak burgers: it is now an Indian Food Cafe. Then we saw GZ - what was once a garden with trees in it has been changed. The trees have been cut right back to almost nothing, anything on the ground has been removed, and the whole garden area dug out and replacd with white marble chips.

Upon enquiring inside, the new owners knew nothing about a geocache, nor geocaching itself, and were quite suprised that anything should be in their garden. They were not against anything being there.

Finally, after messaging a few previous finders who confirmed that the cache WAS in the garden area, all we can assume now is that the cache is MIA.

Sorry we can't use a Needs Maintenance log, but the new logging page gives no options for reporting a cache which is just MIA. There is no more Needs Maintenance option on the logging page.

Hope that above long-winded story helps in deciding action on your cache.

Heading up the range to the Toowoomba catchup event, and naturally a few stops were made along the way. A previous stop here had me confused but today a find was made thanks to a subtle hint on a previous log.

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #3298. Thanks **Scarlet Devil** for bringing us here. Feel free to discover our trackable TGQNRV .

Heading up the hill for an event today. Still a few caches lurking along this road. It was nice and quiet here early on a Sunday morning.

A nice quick find here.

With the promise of ice-cream we took a drive to fill in another date. Although the store was closed today, we grabbed the hidden treat, then came home via the supermarket.
TFTC

We jumped in the car
Head down to the spa
Date filling we are
It's not very far
The sun soon will char
This hot sticky tar
But no ice cream bar
Not happy with Pa
We search for the jar
And give a Huzzah
We claim a new star -
Things we do for Ma [:p]

T.F.T.C.
From Mr E.

Out to collect a cache with the family. We just wanted ice cream!

Nice easy find

Another great cache to find during our Christmas/New Years campingtrip. It would have been great to have been able to take a SPA treatment or at least a really cold water shower this hot day. But we had to be thankful for a cache find.

We were stumped for a short time but got it

Went a bit off track initally. Should have trusted the GPS. It was spot on. Nice hide.

I was on my way out to Toowoomba, as I was on a mission to find a particular Challenge Cache (which I eventually found) and I figured I'd try to gather up a few other caches along the way. I really didn't research the trip all that well, and not being from the area I pretty much just pulled in here to see what geocaches would come up on my GPS. Well then I discovered there was a geocache not very far from where I had parked
At ground zero I soon came up with the cache hide and looked around for muggles reached in for the cache container and quickly added my name to the list, and then it was back in the car to continue my journey on to Toowoomba. I thought about grabbing some other roadside caches on my way up, but the busy road this morning put me off doing that. Maybe next trip out
Thanks for the cache Scarlet Devil

TFTC 2071# found out in the open so lucky daughter had a container big enough to hold the book and replaced where I thought it should go out and about with daughter and geo dog miss millie and George

Found it, returned to its spot

Quick stop off tftc

Took a lovely drive in this area today to pick up this bucket list of caches that I have been meaning to do for a long time now. Geodog and I had fun with all of these. SL TNLN TFTC.

Tyftc krafty

Had lunch with brother Tim Jamesion found together. TYFTC.

Didn't mean to pull up for this cache but hubbie decided it was a good place to change drivers, so you cant knock back a cache handed to you in a platter, nice easy find but the ground is a bit muddy and smelly around it. TFTC

Travelling south for work and stopped along the way to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

After parking nearby and a short search the cache was soon in hand.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

TFTC Scarlet Devil

Fourth cache for the day with Wombles en-route to Toowoomba for the day. A quick find today with Wombles making the eventual discovery. A tad smelly but nothing I couldn't handle Was tempted to get breakfast at the "Berger" shop

tftc

Nice hiding spot, I thought I had already looked there but I hadn't looked hard enough.
Bit smelly here though!
This was our 4th cache on the way to Toowoomba.

Found with logangeo. TFTC!

All Good .. TFTC ..

Nice spot to hide glad no muggles! TFTC

This was one of the caches we targetted and found. We have enjoyed looking at this area in our travels around Toowoomba, Laidley and Ipswich. Thanks to Scarlet Devil for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location.

thanks

Nice quick find on the way to toowoomba.

Pretty sure i remember coming here as a kid!

TFTC!

Easy find thanks

We were starting to lose hope when geokid Found it. TFTC

We enjoy looking at the logs to see who are finding the caches that we are. It has been about eighteen months and there are so many new names. Caching has really caught on.
The co-ords are spot on for this cache and with a quick look around to make sure no one was watching us we looked at the obvious spot. L 1 x Coin T N TFTC

Found it...first one for us

Attending an event in Toowoomba today. Travelling up from Brisbane with Richmond Lad hoping to also find some caches as well as having lunch with fellow cachers. Thank you to all cache owners.

Travelling from Brisbane to attend a Event in Toowoomba today we stopped in on this cache to do before we climbed up too Toowoomba. Found cache with no trouble and decided not to get a Berger.

EASY FIND ON OUR WAY TO TARA tftc

Found it

Lovely to run into an experienced geocacher!!! Thanks for the help.

TFTC. We were attending the Emu Gully Land and Air Spectacular. This was a nice easy find to complement the weekend. As we pulled up we noticed twopeoe walking around with phone in hand. We were both looking for the cache. We all signed the log and had a chat.

A quick find while out this way to collect for a challenge cache.

What a cool looking resort. Thanks for placing the cache here.

We are visiting Toowoomba for a while to see if we can turn most of the green boxes on the map into smiley faces.

Does a "B[Purple]e[/Purple]rger" taste different to a "B[Purple]u[/Purple]rger"?

Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Thanks for organizing the cache and hunt.[^]

Again thanks Scarlet Devil[font=Verdana][/Maroon]

This was the first one on our trip out West today. Cache quickly found TFTC

This was the first one on our trip out West today. I remember coming to this place to cool down when I was younger. It certainly has changed since then.

Cache quickly found

Thanks Scarlet Devil

After spending a couple of days in beautiful Toowoomba, we headed for Brisbane with iluvtrekking but weaving through the countryside were we could rather than on the highway. Thanks Scarlet Devil.

I thought I was going to b muggled out of the hunt hen I arrived, with a pooch handler and wife sitting close by GZ... They moved on pretty quickly though and I swooped and made the most of the muggle free time... [^] A likely hidey hole was spotted on approach and on closer inspection, it housed the container... handy...

I took the container back to the car for business and etched my name in the log. All done, I dropped it back, replaced the camo and headed off.

Cheers Scarlet Devil.

Found with richliink on day eight of our Mega 2015 Stanthorpe adventure.
Today we travelled slowly from Toowoomba to Brisbane, caching along the way. Thanks Scarlet Devil for your contribution to our day.

Great hide; a favourite from me.

# 653 - After the Mega and an overnight stay with friend Triciac2 in Toowoomba I am making my way back home ever so slowly, picking up caches here and there. I am aiming on the long way around through the country. Less traffic, more relaxed, fewer muggles...

Stealth was a bit tricky here, but since I took a loooong time to find my car keys, which I knew I had in the first place, most of the visitors had abandoned the place by the time I was ready to look for the little hidy hole, which was then quickly spotted.

TFTC Scarlet Devil.

My girlfriend had to pick up a food van trailer from Arana Hills in Queensland. 8 day road trip from Perth-Brisbane-Perth and it is a great opportunity to pick a few geo cache on the way there and back. We had a great trip and most caches were easily found...TFTC

Today we made a trip to Toowombo,visiting some caches ,enjoying some beautiful sights, vissited the museum and had a wonderfull day.

cache find #2798. Why is it when you pull up at GZ, there are people and cars coming from nowhere. We had to be very stealth with this find. Got the cache, signed and replaced without anyone seeing us. TFTC.

Tftc

Running around like lunatics Ro-wan1 and penguin2002 thought they could find the cache. However it was stargon1 and moi who found the cache using the GPS. Watch and learn baby boys.
