Need to replace cache. Will do when it stops raining

Arrived and had already begun searching before noticing the latest DNFs and CO memo about recent vandalism to the park...Such a shame. Will return once replaced. Thanks anyway thepurplester

String of DNFs with no logged find since May16. Time for a CO check to confirm its existence.

The area where it was placed has been vandalised. I’ll check again to see if it’s repaired and replace the cache

Sat and looked. Then touched. Nothing found

Found it

Looked for a while and checked high and low but had no success

Live close by cant find it anywhere

Another DNF.... Perhaps the CO should check this one.

I have been here at least 4 times now, always leaving empty handed

Sadly we didn't find this one today, next time, thanks for the hunt thepurplester :^)

Didn't find it... is it still here ?

Spent 10 minutes searching, no find, even with the two of us. Hints??

Tftc

Very very tiny, and was difficult to find seeing as it was our first one and we didn't know want to look for. Got on my hands and knees and found it after about 10 mins! Fab!

Very cool find!!!!!

quick find

Lovely spot to sit and relax...and there low in the shadows....

Sneaky.

Good tricky hiding spot. Signed the log and quizzed by local muggle kids who knew about it. Think we converted them! Tftc.

Found it

Sit back and think this one out, the lady across the road was watching me so I had to be patient, I spotted the cache but now to retrieve it without being seen great she moved as the sun was in her eyes, a quick grab and sign and I was on my way TFTC

Smilie #3184

Clearing a few random green spots from our map.
Spent a few minutes sitting here enjoying the cool breeze & chatting to a teenage muggle.
A short search soon revealed the cache.
Signed & replaced as found.

Wow! Great hiding spot. We were about to give up but found it on our way out.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 3:56pm. That took ages to find the right access point for the area; then it took a few minutes to find the cache. TFTC

!!!!! tftc!!!!!! found easily in 1 minute !!!! no muggles

On a mission to complete the hidden date challenge, kestal and I left toowoomba at 7am to cross as many off the list as possible!
A must read of the description helped with the find. TFTC thepurplester

Travelling from one side of Brisbane to the other, angloj and I were trying to finish off the remaining hidden dates left on our calendar.

We did take a seat to search for this one and it worked a treat. Great hide and TFTC thepurplester

Am I blind!? Anyone want to send me a clue!!?? Novice x

Another newer cache on my radar for today and I checked out the GPS and decided that the approach route that it was proposing possibly wasn't the best route and so I took a longer detour and discovered the new estate tucked away in the middle of no where.

I checked around and then read the description and hint a bit more carefully and that narrowed down the search and it didn't take long to nab the cache.

Luckily there were no visitors to the display homes over the road and I sat down to sign the log and enjoy the view. This type of construction seems to be common around this area.

28/11/14 I was about to head home after a successful morning caching when I realised with 'just one more' I could round my numbers off. So this was the next closest and on my way home. I have been super lucky today with the weather holding out for me and i think the possibility of rain has kept muggles away from here. Woohoo! I followed the directions and took a seat to look around and soon the cache was in hand. Log signed and now time to go home. TFTC

Mr LHE Duo and myself had visited this one before but too many people in their front yards to do more than admire the view. Therefore when we were heading home with OrionJ along decided to give it another chance. When we saw so many cars parked there we thought we were out of luck but think most might have belong to the local houses. There was one family of muggles but they soon moved on. Then it was OrionJ who spotted what we were looking for. Once I retrieved a pen from Mr LHE Duo our names were soon on the log. TFTC

I was out and about this afternoon with LHE Duo for something of a little drive around and this spot was not far off the way home so we figure why not make the stop and take a look.

First problem was trying to find parking, all parked out, but myself and Mrs LHE Duo got out and wandered over to the are area, while Mr LHE Duo went to find a parking spot.

A little wander and it is quite a nice view from here across to the lake in the distance, would be nice I imagine after rain if there was a bit more water. Anyway we admired the scene for a little waiting for some muggles to drive off.

With the muggles gone I spotted something that might need a little bit more investigation, and turns out it was the cache. So get it out and find the spot on the log, and uh, no pen.... Mr LHE Duo soon arrived with one from the car and got our names added into the log.

Couple of children playing up at the play area so had to be stealthy.TFTC.

Took a while to find this tiny thing but geoson spotted. TFTC

Very hard.. got sore knees from looking. Very tiny. Tftc

Few things came together tonight. My calendar had an empty spot to be filled, daughter needed a lift to the gym and I had some grocery shopping to do, and some extra time on that run. So, decided to celar this lonely cache out of the way. Zoomed from Capalaba to here faster than light to secure some search time.

At the GZ, did a touchy-feely around the shelter at one level without result. Decided to take a higher-terrain approach to the next round to speed it up but nothing there either. However, spotted locations that might well host a little cache.
After returning back to the starting point, did some investigative moves and the container was revealed.

Log signed, cache returned back, and it was time to zoom back to Capalaba for that food stuff and pick up daughter. TFTC, Thepurplester!

On the way out it was sufficiently dark for the outdoors lights to be on in some houses. In all the new properties they seemed to have white colour. The old incandescent lights tended to be yellowish in colour while the new fluoros and leds are mostly white. Folks, we are seeing a gradual transformation to how our lighting and colour schemes work and this is a good place to observe it. [^]

Nice place. Pitty the fence needs repaired

When rain fills the lagoons will look startling!

Looked and felt in all the likely spots first before locating a nice new nano... TFTC

First time I have been in this new Estate,10.30 am & busy with plenty of trades type workers,none nearby though.Located the cache fairly quickly,took a while to extract the log.TFTC.

Quick find and on my way. TFTC

*ftf* What timing this cache was published as I just finished a job not 10 mins away. Had to do school pick-up and this new cache was on the way. Had 15mins max to find it and I did. Tftc
