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 you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Hi there. I thought I'd give this a go, even though there was a lot of dnfs. Well I'm sad to post another dnf.

My gf who is an experienced cacher let me take the lead on this one. I found the spot, she checked it. She helped trying to find it. Then gave up after 5 minutes. Me I was determined to find it.. but after 20 minutes and beating up all the bushes, no success! I'd say this one is well and truly gone missing!

Last few have been dnfs as well so didn’t spend too long on it

Couldn’t find it like everyone else.

Does look like its missing

CO can you check this one

Hasn’t been found in a while. Think it’s gone

Couldn’t find it. This cache seems to have disappeared for the time being.

No good unfortunately...been awhile since last found. Maybe gone awol..?
.

Looked everywhere high and low couldn't find anywhere

Looked for a while but found nothing.

Had a rummage but came up with nothing...

Either we are really blind or the cache has gone walk about...

Tried to find on the 2-4-19
Did not manage to

Quick find

Forgot to log this one the other day, had to make 2 attempts due to muggle activity. Tftc

With this one being close by to where we were today we headed over to make this find as well. The weather was perfect today and a coat of sunscreen had to be applied here. A quick search and in no time we had the cache.

Wednesday. Out today with Mrs 4ando who are after some caches and today turned out to be fantastic weather wise, albeit very humid and I felt like I was in a sauna for most of the day. Mrs 4ando spotted this cache quickly and we signed the log. It was nice to kick start the day with a find.

This was the 1st of 19 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Glow Blue***, for showing us this place.

After finding a close-by cache we jumped back in the car and started driving. Mrs Woodyrothwell was at the wheel and I asked her where she was heading. She said she had no idea but would just pull up whenever the navigator said to. Seeing I was still half-asleep it took a couple of minutes to realise she was just driving down streets that she liked the look of. I wiped the sleep from my eyes and found we were close to this hide.

This time I gave the instruction to stop and we jumped out to scale the hill. After looking in the wrong spot for a while we eventually fanned out to make the grab. That was when our episode of the twilight zone started.

Just as we were about to drive-off a lady in a nightie eating a bowl of cereal walked up to us in the middle of the street and asked us if we had seen a poodle. Strange request but we could not help her with her quest. She then asked if we had seen the homeless teenager sleeping in a swag halfway up the hill. She was coming over to see if he wanted a "cuppa". We looked back into the park to see if there was someone that needed a beverage but we couldn't see anything. We then started looking for any hidden cameras in case we were just being pranked. We exchanged a few words with the lady while she chomped away on her cereal but the next cache was calling our name. tftc

1 of 8 caches found today whilst on holiday in Brisbane, TFTC

Thanks for the cache!

Cool

Well hidden
Hint helped a lot

Took a bit of searching but finally found it . Used sticks to lift up foliage which was helpful

Our third cache was found with a little help from some crossed sticks - thank you to the to previous catchers! We added a pencil for logging.

We found it it took a little while but we read the clues in the end we found it.

Remember to look low and don’t forget about the spiders!

Did find a pair of discarded undies though!

Read the hint and searched till found. TFTC

Checked on this one whilst at the library. It is still in the same place that it was found.

Old one. Must have been taken.

Ohhhh dear. This looks like it hasn't looked after in a while and has been muggled. I've messaged the owner, but it looks like they haven't been active since 2014. I'll replace the container and swaps if there is no response.

Upgraded broken cache for new camo cache from the back of my car. It is still in the same location as found.

Needs some TLC

Looked in bush but a little hard to find

Found this one geocaching in the area. Log is intact but not much treasure.

A quick find because it was in the open. The container is pretty cracked but the log was OK. TFTC.

I was in the area today picking up a few caches, and this one was nearby. A nice easy find. TFTC Glow Blue

My kids and loved searching the park to find It. thank you

Container is broken

Found it!!!

This one needs some tlc. We added a piece of paper as the is log missing. Container is cracked & not very well camo'd. Looks to have been muggled. Nice park. Tftc & for the smile xo

Log needs replacing & container is damaged

Log sheet missing

I don’t think one exists anymore....we found part of it - see photo.

Quick easy find

Yeah

Yes... the the pizza was delicious

Found the log book on ground with no sign of container so i signed the log and put it in zip lock bag to protect it and covered it with some bark under a root . hope this will keep it safe for awhile.

Found it . cache needs major repair: book missing, case cracked, water throughout bag. Replaced as best we could however

TFTC! It wasn’t hidden and needs replacing- the log book is missing.

Had fun finding it but same as previous post the cache need maintenance asap and log is damp still due to the weather

Oooh this needs some love. Found on a quiet Saturday morning with no one around. Three container was out in the open at the base of a tree, face up with no lid and half full with yesterday's rain. The Ziploc somewhat protected the log. I drained the lot, signed and rehid as best I could. Tftc

Needs maintenance- lid missing

Caching today in the company of Selva Girls because there is a morning CITO and an Event in the afternoon.

Nice quick find but the container is brittle and will soon shatter into pieces.

Log signed and replaced. Logged at 3:02 p.m. on 24 September 2017. TFTC, Glow Blue.

TFTC, took me and my partner 10 min to find was great.

Tricky one .. no spiders but lots of sticks

Nice little find!

Made a cute little deposit, love the spiders

Found it! container could use an update

Fairly easy to find- some little spiders but they're cute!

Found it. TFTC

A nice little park for a geocache! No spider bites for us!!

Mmmm

Easy find, need a pen.

I decided it was a good day for a long walk picking up some puzzle caches from my ever growing list of solved puzzles and other caches in the vicinity. Found this cache quickly. The container has a hole in it, and is fairly flimsy. Luckily the logbook was dry. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Quick stop while in the area- tftc

Quick find,TFTC.

Thank you!

????

Awesome

Wasn't sure I wanted to come here as I don't like spiders, but since we were driving past we had to stop.
Arrived at GZ and saw all the spiders. This could take a while, and now I'm not so scared.
KerriMG told me to look up and there where 2 owls sitting above me watching us. We must have woken them - sorry.
Think I was starting to get a bit frustrated as I couldn't find anything cache like when KerriMG said she found it!
Yeah!
The container is quite broken, but the log is nice and dry.

Out on our regular caching Thursday with Nikid1 & we headed over to the Arana Hills area.
I don't think there is such a thing as a friendly spider but these ones didn't give us too much trouble. We did spy 2 owls right above us & they kept an eye on us to make sure we weren't getting up to any mischief.
This took a little while to find as all my sticks kept breaking but I eventually made the find.
Log signed & cache replaced as found although the container will need to be replaced soon.

The park was completely empty as it was in the middle of a scorching hot day so I had the area to myself.

It took a while to find the right spot as I didn't want to go crawling around in the heat but I eventually uncovered the right spot to locate the cache. There are still plenty of spiders in the area.

TFTC Glow Blue

Proven wrong. Thought this one was missing! TFTC

2nd time finding - helping Power Hunt out.

Crawling around in spiders was a bit scary haha

Looked around for a while and found nothing. No spiders either though...

Found two dead birds at GZ so feeling a bit spoiled plus neighbouring juggles all out. Short search turned up nothing. Another day

Strangely enough, we didn't see any of the friendly neighborhood spiders here today. We did find the cache laying in the open when we reached GZ however. The logbook was a little bit damp but not too bad. Signed and replaced where we thought it should have been based on the hint. Thanks. Frewster & Daughters.

Did with JaffyG and a friend. Blunt pencil and lid pops off constantly, friends first cache and he loved it. keep it up

Thanks. Found with Spyyoshi and Co. Pencil blunt. Good find.

Found quickly,

Found it. Container badly cracked so I put contents in clipseal bag and back into container. Left a blue star. TFTC.

out with team nelta. tftc

We didn't find any spiders. This took us a long time. We started to give up when mummy said she found it.

2040 - I headed over to Arana Hills this evening on my way home to pick up my cache for the day. This one was the random one I ended up being closest to, so I had a look for it on this very still and quiet night in this part of town. I had to search for a few minutes before I found it at 8:10pm and as previous logs indicate the container for this one is broken and needs replacing. Thanks for placing this one here Glow Blue.

Found it! Next cacher please bring large round Chinese container to replace existing vessel.

Couldn't find it

Went back for second look and found it!

Well, images can be misleading. I was looking for something totally different to the container i found.
Maybe the CO needs to do a maintenance run. The cache is in very poor condition, but fortunately the contents are all dry. This won't last much longer.
I would have returned to the car and found a suitable vessel to use, but being school holidays there were a lot of muggle kids around. Not wanting to attract unwanted attention, i signed my name on the log and returned cache with a little extra camoflague.
Hopefully this will help prolong the life of the container until it can be replaced.
Luckily there were no spiders when i visited. Maybe too cold.
Signed and returned. Tftc 6 July 2016 15:57

So hard

In the neighbourhood visiting a friend and thought it would be remiss not to get this cache! A bit of a wander and soon i spied what i needed. Cache was slightly exposed and has several cracks, but thankfully the log book was nice and dry. Once the log was signed, the cache was replaced and i continued on my way. Thanks for placing this one here Glow Blue.

Let me set the scene for you. Its raining. We have had bad weather warnings all day and YigScatts is tired from working all day.

LETS GO FIND A GEOCACHE!

We arrived at the nearby car park a little after 1530hrs and it was raining so hard that it was nearly dark outside the car.

"Lets give it a few minutes and see if it eases up a bit". Well that was probably when we realised we should have stayed home. The nearby park soon turned into a lake. The nearby hill turned into a waterfall and we had 100 metres to GZ.

Ok I better get the umbrella out so we don't get too wet.

After walking about 10 metres we realised that our trusty pink umbrella from IKEA just wasn't going to help much but we held onto it anyway. At least i could hold my phone up under it and hope it stayed dry.

Arriving at GZ after navigating our way across a fair amount of water and being wet from head to toe we actually had trouble finding the cache. As it turns out people who need glasses to see are pretty useless at seeing in the rain whilst wearing glasses. Even with their trusty umbrella.

After a good search of every spot in the area we finally found what we came for. Whilst standing ankle deep in running water.

We quickly signed our names under the shelter of the umbrella. See it did come in handy after all. Replaced the cache and headed back to our car. Sopping wet and happy to have survived another day.

ScattsMadhouse. Where a T1.5 Cache can easily become a T4

Quick drive by find this morning.
Thanks for placing this cache, Glow Blue. Found in poor, but dry, condition. Container needs replacing I'd suggest.
