Maintenance is planned shortly

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,

Couldn't find!!!!!!

Daddy couldn't find

Dnf

Another in a series of DNFs for me. But perhaps given that I searched every square inch of the location and the comments on the last log perhaps it's been muggled?

Possibly been muggled given the last log says it was left on the picnic table?

Not sure where the cache is meant to be, but it's currently on the picnic table. Someone who knows where it should live can put it back

HIGH time we had some luck! #jeffslilcachies

Quick find, night time cache, I finally stopped on my way home TFTC

Quick one. TFTC.

FIRST FIND OF 2018!!

We had a plan for today and it had gone a bit pear shape for us to begin with. We thought that we would have a crack at the Unique difficulty/terrain challenge cache. A few of the first caches we looked for came up busted so our spirits were dropped. After coming out of the Belmont Bushlands we had a new look at our list and hey this could be doable after all!!!

Some quick searching and we had a new list formulated to see if we could actually do this. A phone call home to the muggle teens and all is good there they aren’t ready for us to come home…hmmm, should we worry about that? No way, there is a challenge to fill.

This is how we find ourselves at this cache, it fits the grid for what we are after. We walked over to where we needed to be and found the cache. We were swinging with joy thinking this plan may actually work…

TFTC genyo

Out to do a challenge today (25 different D/T's) with geofriends. Came down to GZ however young family with baby were where we had to find the cache. Explained to them what we were doing and they showed some interest. Found cache. TFTC

On a mission today with geo friends to complete the Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge (QLD) and enjoyed the short walk to get to this good hide where we met a couple and their baby in the shelter who had not heard of geocaching but they do now!!
Thanks genyo for the good placement and TFTC

Walking down the slope towards GZ we spotted a lovely couple with a gorgeous baby enjoying the shade. We decided to be upfront and explain geocaching to them and they were quite intrigued. They hadn't heard of it before but we gave them the details to look it up. We'd have left this one if we had felt at all that this couple might mistreat the cache but after talking to them for a few minutes we were confident of them. I guess we all have to learn of geocaching somehow to get started and we hope they might join this great hobby/obsession. Cache was found in good condition and we gladly signed before replacing. Thanks again for another of your caches we have found today Genyo.

As we were on a mission today with our caches we decided when we saw a family at this cache that we would explain our hobby. They were quite interested. cache found, signed and carefully placed back where it belongs. Thanks genyo.

Tough mother Monday. Beautiful day for a walk. Tftc

Found this with jemilucy and remsjw today tftc

Found it. Cool one.

18th of the day, OCW ESCR so I could complete my 25d/t in a day and it ended up being 30 d/t in a day. We found this one safe and sound within mins and signed and replaced. What a great lil park TFTC

In Brissy for iur daughter's graduation tomorrow. She is entertaining us today with a few caches. TFTC

Tftc

We finally were able to do some much needed geocaching due to not having to work today so that we did. For some reason I fell in love with this park. This was a lovely quick find and certainly a suburban paradise. TFTC!
Find #772

Popped in after shopping to add another smiley to my map. Easy find, the cache sticks out from its hiding spot a bit and was a little bit 'snug'

Quick find, thanks for the cache Genyo :^)

Quick find.TFTC

Sunday morning after Church had some time spare even thought the weather is hot and steamy. A nice quick find or three is in order, and that is just what this was. Third one of the morning. Nice ittel park.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 11.30am on 15th January, 2017. TFTC

As we pulled up near GZ the heavens opened and the rain came down. It was overcast but there was no hint of rain and clear skies all around. We consulted the weather radar and there was a thin strip of rain passing directly overhead that looked like it would end soon. We had been sitting in the car for 10 minutes before we decided the rain wasn't going to end soon and we would have to make a mad dash to the cache. Luckily the cache was located under cover which worked in out benefit.

We ran though the rain to look for this cache. Each time we had gotten out of the car today, the geodaughter's glasses had fogged up moving from the aircon to the heat. This time they were covered in rain. I spied something a little odd and we soon had the cache in hand. tftc

Was over this side of town trying to finalise a series and still had some time before I needed to be home, so dropped by here to get a few more smileys.
No one around 8:00 on a Sunday morning which lead to easy find. Getting the cache out was a little tricky but after some pushing not pulling I had it in my hand. Nice to be first on a new log.
Thanks Genyo!

Finally added a clean log.

Tftc. Found with geago

Tftc! Found with Theoradora.

I was in the area to find a mystery cache I had in my solved folder, and after completing that one I did a drive around the block collecting a few nearby traditional caches
This one was found pretty quickly and no muggles about in the area thank goodness [^]
The hint was helpful, but I spotted this one from where I was standing and then had to give it a little push from the other side to free it from its hiding spot, as it was in there pretty snug
Signing duties done, the cache was replaced as found and then it was on to the next one
This is a nice area over this way. Nice and close to Carindale Shopping Centre.
Thanks for the cache genyo

Quick find despite GPS being pretty jumpy. TFTC

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 29.730 E 153° 05.781

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 29.724 E 153° 05.776

Distance from original: 43.4 feet or 13.2 meters.
Visited today and decided was time to check coords. Seems like they need a little update.

Nice quick find today while waiting for other half of geofam to finish at cricket. TFTC TNLNSL

Found today stepped up but it was hard to get out. So wedged in. Man pushing kid on swing but lucky he had his back to me. The hardest part was putting it back as a regular procession of muggles kept walking up the path. Log signed. Tftc

Quick find. TFTC

TFTC - number 200

7/7/16 Heading home and had some time spare to grab a couple on the way home. A nice quick find...it was the muggles that made this cache a little longer. After waiting for some to move away and others to turn away a quick grab, sign and return. TFTC genyo

Found it quickly , found one in NSW just the same

27/6... Muggle paradise. More units being constructed nearby. Needs a new log.

thursday fun with raynersinoz and fasted

our first for the day after a quick visit to the co's to pick uo a special pressie for rio

nice quick find but well hidden

It's Thursday and caching day, so I'm out with barbbowman and FastEd to get some smilies .

This was our first cache of the day. FastEd could get a nice close park and we jumped out of the car and headed over to GZ. We saw the obvious spot, but the GPS had us in a slightly different place. The clue however confirmed our earlier suspicions . It was barbb who saw the cache first and FastEd soon had the log extracted. Awesome, a nice quick find. TFTC genyo.

Heading to the dark side with barbbowman and Raynersinoz for the day targeting a couple of caches.

This popped up on the way, so made a quick stop. Our GPS had us about 10 metres off, but the hint made for a quick find.

TFTC

Hey that was a little sneaky but good find. Cheers! X.

Visiting the area to see my Chiropractor and am picking my way through the caches near here. Parked nearby and wandered over to where I thought the cache might be. Spotted the little fellow but had trouble extracting it from its hide. Very tightly wedged in. Finally managed to get it free and signed logbook and returned it to its hide. (hopefully not too far in). Luckily no-one about to see me get this one.

TFTC

Easy when you follow the clue! Tftc really fun !

Thanks genyo. The coordinates was pointing us the wrong spot but found it with ur help. Left a new paper roll but the old one is still in it

After Miss 12 missed her train and I had to drive her to Cannon Hill, I found myself running late and unable to get to the cache I'd had planned. Instead, I looked for a quick, easy one nearby.

My first choice seems to be at a bus stop where someone was sitting and there was a groundskeeper in a nearby bowls club watching the world go by so I kept driving and ended up here.

The park was empty and I couldn't see any curtain twitchers in the nearby units. I parked and headed for the most likely GZ. The coordinates matched and a quick look around revealed the cache. It was stuck in there pretty tight but I pulled it out and retrieved the log.

The pen that I had with me didn't work on the paper so I took it back to the car and used my sharpie.

The log is full but I found room at the bottom for my scrawl. Then it was back in the car and fighting traffic all the way to work.

TFTC genyo

Found in the last place we looked . Mrs SearchEngine had 5 mins to find out while I stayed in the car with the sleeping kids but she couldn't do it so we swapped and I showed her how it's done . I don't think she believed me cause she had to have a look for herself after. TFTC!

Now, I am not really sure if I found this on 30/01/16 or 31/01/16... The reason for this, it was a midnight hunt!!!

You might ask as to why I was in this park, in the middle of the night...? Then again, we are all Geocachers so that question is redundant!

The reason as to why I was hanging out in this park tonight was because I had just finished seeing a movie at the nearby shopping centre. After the movie had ended, I begged the Muggle partner to allow me to grab a find whilst down in the Big Smoke. With a reluctant, 'I suppose' I was driving in the direction of GZ.

Not before long we were where I needed to be. After a quick scan of the area, I was glad to see that it was deserted and I could go in for the hunt.

Full of soft drink, buffalo wings and ice-cream sundae, I rolled my way to GZ. Once there, I had a quick look around and something caught my eye. Upon closer inspection I was glad to see that it was the cache. I quickly added my name to the others before me and placed everything back as found.

Now, time to head back up the Coast before I fall into a food coma!

Thanks for the cache genyo.

Gotcha!

Nice hide, the coords/Google earth image are a little out but the hint is good if you want to speed things up. TNLN, TFTC

Found it

Nice hide found one like this before

Second spot I checked (one day it will be the first!) TFTC genyo

After a work seminar south of the city, had to grab a cache on the way to the freeway! TFTC

TFTC

Yep. Coords are a bit loose, but found it right where logic would have it. TFTC. I drive by all the time, but it was nice to stop for a change.

Our last cache for the day. We stopped at this park for our lunch and for the kids to have a play on the swings. Finally spotted the secret location of this cache and went in for the grab. Thanks Genyo!

Tftc

Had trouble retiring but got it in the end.
Found fairly quickly but felt very exposed.
Tftc

Stopped to have lunch and find myself a cache.

Didn't bring a pen. Will try to bring one back another day. Tftc. Not where the GPS suggested, but where it should have been.

An extremely busy Sunday has found me over on the Southside of Brisbane with no idea where I am, but with a cache to continue our cache a day marathon! The cache was pretty hard to get out, but I managed. As I was trying to rehide it well I made eye contact with a jogging muggle, and proceeded to pretend I stretch in places like this all the time.... she keeps running past me eyeing me off hahahaha. Anyway, cache was in great condition, tftc

Nice little hide, walked right past it initially

Hard one found it.tftc

Out visiting friends, on the south side of Brisbane, so picked up a few caches in the area.
A good variety of hides, kept us entertained for some time.
Cache found after a short search, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, genyo, for us and others to find.

Found without any issues. TFTC

Nice Hide

Nice hide

A quick late night grab to get the daily dose.
The smartiephone compass stopped me several metres short but as there was nothing interesting there, moved to a more probable spot and got a glimpse of the container in a minute. It took another minute to fish it out, then a third one to find a writing implement that actually stuck on the plastic provided.

All good here. TFTC, Genyo!

After grabbing a cache required to fill one of my last vacant DT grid spots, I pottered around the area to find some more caches before having to make a pickup at the airport. A nice quite area at GZ this morning and it didn't take me too long to find the hidden container. Signed and replaced. TFTC

Found a break in the rain and threw on some thongs and jumped in the car. Was standing on the wrong piece at first but noticed it sitting there.

Hopped down and back up and had the log out and signed in no time.

Nice easy find in the wet.

TFTC

[green]I was walking through this valley of the shadow of Briz,
I take a look at my GPS and realize there's no caches left !!
Cause I've been searching and caching so long,
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone !! [:o]
But I ain't never found a cache that didn't deserve it,
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of !
You better watch how you're caching and where you're walking ...
Or you and your homies might be off a cliff fallin' [:o]
I really love to cache but I gotta loc. (file),
As Signal croaks, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool,
I'm the kinda G the little cachers wanna be like
On foot, in me kayak or even me bike ....

Been spending most of me life, caching in a Brisbane paradise,
Been spending most of me life, caching in a Brisbane paradise,
Keep spending most of me life, searching for caches in a Brisbane paradise,

TFTC with a song in me head on me stroll around Carina this morning [^]

Took a couple of looks around the structure before I spotted it. Visiting from Sydney on the way to the mega event and needed to head out from where we are staying at Camp Hill to a camping store for a few things, and then also head east of the Gateway to pick up some stuff for a different hobby. This was the first convenient stop on the way. Thanks genyo.

A quick find in a lovely park! Thanks for the cache genyo!

Found it - little sucker was wedged in tight. Signed and replaced - none else here, but I seem to be following someone around these caches today - their name is on everyone so far. TFTC

cache find #2886. A lovely shady and quiet parkland. Had the place to ourselves. Found the cache quickly. Log signed and replaced the cache as found. TFTC.

Fun one to find!

I have tried to search a few times but I was muggled out. Today there was no-one around. Just as well because I had convinced myself that GZ was somewhere else.

Tftc genyo.

Was here last week but could not get near I due the mugglez .

Out and about looking for a few caches today.
I headed to Carina to find a few of the newer caches in the area.
An easy find here.
Thanks for the cache.

Nice hide. Took a little while to find it but when I was about to give up there it was. Good spot. TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 10:57am. We have looked for this cache before but it was an easy find today. TFTC

Net88 and I set out to qualify for [url=http://coord.info/GC5C5PB]The Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge (QLD)[/url]. It was now getting dark and we hadn't grabbed a 2/2. There are some 200 2/2 geocaches within 250km of my home, but add into that those that were doable in our time frame that both of us hadn't found and the pickings were slim. They were basically this geocache only. But, it was along our route for the day, so it made the list.

Weather update: raining. It had been constantly and heavily raining since we woke up this morning at 0530. We had been wet all day and we soaked from our last find. The things you do for a geocaching challenge. The drive was short and I parked us close to this GZ. We walked across the park, umbrellas deployed and found the GPSr wanted us in the middle of not much.

But, we gleaned from a past log that we would likely be able to keep out of the rain while we looked. It was Net who then quickly spotted something and sent me reaching to investigate. Yep, that's the geocache indeed! We signed the log and claimed the find at 1813. I popped it back and now it was really getting dark, being late and heavily cloudy, we only had a few more to visit.

Will you be at the.. [url=http://coord.info/GC4X31B]GC4X31B[/url] [url=http://qldmega.com]Queensland Geocaching Mega-Event - Stanthorpe 2015![/url]

Since the 18th of September 2014 I have wanted to complete Fangsoki's The Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge (QLD). I started making a list of geocaches that Captain Terror and I could find to help us qualify. We had organised to find those geocaches today, so naturally when we woke up, it was pouring rain.

We were quickly losing daylight and trying to get the last 5 finds done. We pulled up off the main road and headed across to search for this geocache. We were reading logs and description when I asked the Captain if what i could see was the cache, it was dark and I am short so I needed him to check for me. Turns out it was and we turned this one into a nice quick find. Thanks for the cache genyo.
