Wanted to do this series before it got too warm and the snakes came out. I have heard all and sundry talking about Poo Corner so I headed out today and grabbed the lot! Thanks CO for your efforts in putting this together and maintaining. And yes Piglet is still there! TFTC

Found where we though it would be, but nothing there. Could be a case of cache blindness?
I was visiting Brisbane for a BrizNerd trade day. After a bit of buying / selling / trading of action figures, graphic novels and other nostalgic toys from the 80's and 90's I headed home. (Sorry, no Pooh related toys were to be seen) I spotted this area on the map and decided to grab a few caches.
Heading back to my car and decided to grab this one as well. There were a few cars in the car park but no one was around. I grabbed the cache and wandered off to open it up and see what was inside. With the log signed the cache was returned.
Thanks for the cache an old hag. Cheers!!

Easy find - needed a very thin twig to 're-scroll' the log while still inside, had unwound enough to not drop out. No probs.
Cheating a bit with copy paste logs as I realise I haven logged this big day out with Menstrietash and Zee+glee and I'm now on holiday so will come back to finish the logs later but this will keep things in order to log the holiday finds!
lost count already!

Menstrietash and Menstrieben grabbed Chloe to go find this one, while I ran down the track to grab a poo bag from earlier and dispose of it in the bin. The kindly left piglet in the spot for me to find when I wondered over. Menstrietash was keen to go see some kittens at the RSPCA nearby and Menstrieben and I were wondering if we could get away with a couple of drive bys on the way over.
We decided to do this walk today as we had never cached in this area before. Counterclockwise seemed the way for us to go today and this was the first of many. Once we got to gz, we found the cache quickly. The appearance of the container was a surprise. We soon signed the log and put the cache back in place. TFTC
This was super cute, thanks for a great series! Hubby noted the industry across the road was "geofabrics" we wondered if the CO's own there too!
Our last day in Ipswitch, this morning we headed out to Pooh Corner.
We are so pleased that we chose this series of caches to do with the limited amount of time we had here. A pleasant level walk around the track.
The caches were all found & they followed the Pooh theme wonderfully. I certainly would reccomed this series to others.

First of the hunt. Let's see what we can achieve in a short period. Tftc an old hag
Off on a public holiday adventure. Great series. Thanks.
We had to abort our quest after this one due to excessive whinging of children but we will be back to complete the other half soon.
Thanks again to the COers for putting such an effort into this series. It definitely is appreciated.

Oh ok one more before we get back in the car. Some has contributed a dragon toy that is firmly stuck. Have forced it down enough to get the log back in.
just visiting and enjoying your amazing reserves of native bush. Really enjoyed this series around Pooh corner. Thanks to you all for your efforts.
After I got drenched looking for Eeyore's House I headed back to the entrance for shelter. Soon enough the rain stopped and I went in search of this one nearby which was a quick find. Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
Thanks!
After lunch Dr Hunting Rabbit and four of his Asian muggle church friends (they were keen to get out for an afternoon walk) met up with TrickyT for a crappy day of caching on a wonderful afternoon in Pooh corner. 
Having seen these get published this trail was at the top of Dr Hunting Rabbit's "TO DO" list whilst in Australia. The Hunting Rabbit have grown quite fond of TrickyT over the years and it was nice to finally get out caching with him. 
His knowledge of the Australian bush and friendly nature made this a special day. Even the muggles grew in interest and were happy to make a find.
This was the twenty-first cache of the day. By this time Dr Hunting Rabbit really had to poo in Pooh Corner so handed the GPS to the muggles and said "Go Find It". When he returned they had found their first geocache on their own and were all busy taking photos. Maybe one day they'll be converted muggles. This was another cute container and it was nice to finally have found piglet. A favourite point for the container and for putting together a great series. TFTC and series Old Hag.

Cutest find so far and quiet easy. I put him back in his home and covered him real good. You will have to search harder.

Decided to head out this morning to grab a few caches, and Pooh Corner looked like the perfect place 
This one was number 2 of 21 for today, and a quick find as I made my way around the loop today I soon made my way to this cache next, and after a quick search of the area and spotted a likely GZ I soon had the cache in hand, and added our name to the logbook before returning the cache as I found it, and heading off to grab a few more for the day [^]

We decided to have a look around Pooh Corner this morning before heading to my mother's nearby for lunch of pork roast. I figured it would be a good way to work up an appetite. Unfortunately, Miss 10 was unwell so we deposited her at mum's first to lie on the couch and watch movies.
After finding Which Corner we drove back to the car park and headed over to find Piglet. Miss 7 was the one to find it.

After resting nearby we decided to head for another cache before this one . On our return we discovered this to have been the wrong choice . Muggles everywhere . We waited it out and then had enough children with us to not look suss. TFTC
Find #1877 at 14:32 with the whole family plus 1MinnieMoo, 1MinnieMooJnr, 1GiantPanda and ScattsMadhouse and MadScatts.
We'd been sitting resting near GZ before attempting the previous cache, and almost went for this one while we were here, but decided to swing back into the Hundred Acre Wood to grab the last one down there first and then back up to the road.
Mistake! Upon our return, there were muggles nearby, and more soon drove up.
Eventually, after waiting a while for some of the muggles to clear, we went in for the find, and 1MinnieMooJnr spotted the cute little cache. The rest of us shielded GZ from the last remaining muggles as the log was signed and the cache returned.
I also removed a food item, with some difficulty.
Thanks for the cache, an old hag & the cache maker.

After going for toilet break we headed to last cache along the trail here before retracking near toilets for this one and then hopping in the car for the last few. When we left the toilet area, the carpark was empty, bar for one car which we assume belonged to the cachers we met earlier on. Of course by the time we headed back here muggles abounded at the car park and we had to figure out when/how to tackle this one safely. Most moved through, but one couple decided to hang around the picnic tables. Decided to send the geokids down with the gps to find it as kids look less suspicious, and we casually wandered on down. Stealth did not exactly abound with the kids, and we had to do a little work to make sure the couple did not get suspicious. Thankfully we managed to grab cache, extract and sign log and return it without too much concern, and as we headed off back down towards where we started the day, we did notice the couple get back into their car and leave. Phew! Thanks for the cache an old hag.
