Dude, it's a golf course

I cannot find a way into this cache as it is all fenced off and signs up saying trespassers will be prosecuted. I have all the other caches but now that the land has changed, I think a golf course and others things are going in there it is not at all accessible at the present. I do not think the present cache will survive what is going on in there.
If is not in there can it be archived as it will be an unnecessary green b ox on my page.
Thanks

I can not see a needs maintenance log on this cache,
From the [Help Centre,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=57)
>If you find a geocache that is in need of some help (e.g. container is cracked, logbook is full or wet), please post a "Needs Maintenance" log on the cache page so the cache owner and the community is notified. This log adds an attribute to the page (looks like a colored cross) to alert other geocachers of the needed repairs. Logging Needs Maintenance does not increase find count. Needs Maintenance logs are not forwarded to reviewers.

and from the [Archive help centre article](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56)
>Please use this log only when there are serious problems with the cache or its location. Do not use it if the cache needs repairs, or you didn't find it, or the location made you uncomfortable. Please consider first contacting the owner of the geocache with your concerns. Use the profile link next to the cache owner's name at the top of the cache page to send an email, as well as logging to the cache page about your visit.

If you have no response from the cache owner after 30 days then I'd suggest using a Needs Archive Note. Except for in the most extreme cases, it's normally best to give the cache owner a chance to fix the issue before alerting the reviewers.

Attempted to find another way in.......

Alas we have no luck...
Geez... I hate the way people are now going to be able to live on the beautiful Minnippi Parklands

Oh well..

P.S. The whole side of Minnippi is now blocked of for townhouses:(:(

Sunshine is out but I had limited time to go for a walk today. But wait it's International Geocaching Day! And, to be honest, I'm more than curious about the construction site through here.

Despite a smattering of rain this afternoon the trails seemed dry enough and the wetlands as pretty as they ever were. The problem is the tractor treads and plastic ribbons of various colours tied around trees marked for destruction. I spotted many glider boxes which, presumably, will be re-located? I'm outraged by this development and haven't met a single person who lives around here and is in favour of destroying a wildlife habitat to build a golf course. Maybe the local Concillors all play golf, eh?

A nice stroll to GZ.
Nice and dry underfoot.
No mozzies as it is too cold for them.
There was one little guy on a motorbike zipping around but up the other end.
Signed the log.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks dawesy321 All good with this cache

After a beautiful stroll in this gorgeous grassy oasis I soon came across the cache in a very easy to get location. Tftc and a great little walk

What a lovely walk through this bush land. Beautiful trees and a well maintained wide path! It was a longish stroll for the kids this afternoon so they stopped half way to watch some telly (see pic) before getting back to it. Almost to GZ and we passed an amazing tree that looked very much like the whomping willow for Harry Potter (in pic). A bit of Voldermort v Harry action with carefully selected wands from the bush and we were back on our way again. Arrived at GZ and I decided to get us organized for a search.., "geogirl, you start at that tree, geoboy search there, and I'll look over.... Oh.. Found it!" 1 for mum! Walking back out we found Pikachu hiding out there too! Thanks for this wonderful collection

I've been wanting to bring the kids to do this series for a while now so I was disappointed when I saw that two thirds of it had disappeared from the map. I am even more angry that a golf course has been approved in such an environmentally delicate area putting the local squirrel glider population in danger. But I won't get into that or this log will become War and Peace.

Wandering into this one from number 8, we passed a couple of the archived caches and decided to have a look but I assume that the CO has removed them. They weren't immediately obvious and we didn't look too hard.

When we arrived at GZ, I spent ages looking everywhere in the tree while Miss 10 read back through old logs for some useful tips. It took us a while without any luck before I expanded the search area and, what do you know, there it was.

The coordinates were accurate but my GPS wasn't behaving itself.

I made this much harder than it needed to be!

Tftc long walk

A Short Stroll 7 / 8 / 9 are all still accessible and unaffected by nearby development.

Barbb and I continued on our journey. Not so much strolling now but perambulating . Our phone GPSs were all over the place, so we had two likely spots to check. "I reckon it's here" I said to Barb, "I reckon it's over there" says Barb pointing in the opposite direction. I won't say who was right, but I did do a happy dance when we found the cache . It's lovely in this part of the park, great shade on a hot day. TFTC dawesy321, looking forward to the next one in the series.

out on an adventure day, only one K today

should have trusted the phone lol

I enjoyed the walk at this sunny day throu this park. Most of the caches could be found and sadly some were not aviable for me [xx(]
The logsheet was made of a quite funny paper, sadly my pen didn't liked it and at some it refused to write properly

So, I found myself in the area today and was deciding on whether to go to the markets in the city with a friend or go caching. My friend ended up being too slow in deciding their movements so I ventured in this direction and by the time they told me they wanted to go to the markets I was close to these caches and I decided that this little collection of caches looked like they would be fun to do. So I ditched the markets and spent the afternoon following the 'short stroll'. Well, I'm not too sure on the short part of this. From the start, I thought it would be a little fun to follow the stroll according to the numerical order of the caches, the titles made it sound like a little bit of an adventure.
Number 7: After that last hide, I was quite relieved when this one was found quickly. Next stop, number 8...

Good running track! Found it!

Like the series

Nice find

Tiki's 1, 3 & 4 out for a stroll. Tiki 4 found this one as well, and it was a much quicker find than the last one! TFTC.

out for a walk today to pick up this series. I didn't exactly do them in order however but I enjoyed the series.

find nice and quickly TFTC

Easy find I was sanding under it and did not see it at first

TFTC very quick find!

Tftc

Found

Easy

There previous finds made it easy

I went out for a 23km walk today. There were eight caches at my halfway point. Woo hoo.
A tiny treasure glinting in the sun. Fancy being so close by.

No need for waterproof footwear today - all good and dry. No need for the Bushmans, either - too cold for the mozzies. No need to search too far - a nice easy find. No need to sign the log - oops, hang about! Get it right! Log book retrieved, signed and replaced. Found at 1.55pm on 16th July 2015. TFTC.

Found it!

I was a little bit thrown with the numbering here. I spotted three a little further off then 7 but took a look at the map and this was next. It took a little longer to find this one although it really should have been actually quite easy really. Soon had my name in the log and soon it was onwards to the next.

TFTC

These parklands are a great spot to cycle around.
All good with cache here.

TFTC.

Tessa got it

It was hiding in plain sight.

Like the easy walk and easy find. TFTC.
Lovely area. Out with Miss Beauty and Miss Cutie Pie

With giraffe18 and cutie pie

Found when out for a walk! Lovely walk. Thanks so much Dawesy321 for these caches!

Out visiting friends, on the south side of Brisbane, so picked up a few caches in the area.

A great little series, and an enjoyable walk for this time in the morning.
Signed some of the logs as TD where ever possible, as the logs were difficult to write on.
Many thanks for placing this cache, dawesy321, for us and others to find.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 11:54am. Found this time to complete the set. TFTC for the cache and series.

I had completed the series a few months back and then, while was away, 3 new caches appeared.

Today was my first chance to have a crack at the new ones. The skies were darkening up with the imminent threat of showers so I decided to do this one first as there was no shelter from the elements.

I have got to know the path into this cache pretty well over the years and so I just headed along the familiar trail. It was a bit damp under foot from the rain in the last couple of days and the my work shoes became saturated from the moisture on the grass.

I arrived at GZ and, as is normal, I overshot the search area and started searching another spot where it appears that others have searched as well. As I came up empty handed there I then looked at the GPS again and changed my search area.

The new area also showed signs of searching and I spent 10 minutes minutely inspecting everything until I spotted a show of colour and, on investigating, I retrieved the cache. It was at this point that I realised that I hadn't brought a pen with me so I improvised with a green leaf and a car key to stain a yellowish "153" onto the paper.

TFTC. Now to head back to the car and get the other 2 closer ones.

Coords were a little off to start with but found easy enough

found it!

Found. Nearly finished

Really quiet spot. Cool park. The cache was really easy to find but I still managed to look in the wrong places...

I was lucky, it was virtually dry underfoot. So I enjoyed a pleasant walk to GZ not long after sunrise. At GZ, I feared I was going to have to get my shoes dirty but I needed have feared, the cache was just there.

Having completed the series when it was first published, I needed to complete it again! A short walk in the wet grass and some eagle eyes I spotted the cache. TFTC dawsey321

Found with misssusan, mnance, remsjw and jemillalucy today. It was a little wet and sloshy around here today. Upon reaching gz cache was spotted quickly and easily. Tftc.

Oh no hint on this one and we can see why! A very quick find indeed!

Tough mother Monday. Out fot a wet stroll. Easy find:-) tftc.

Out caching with Remsjw, Lisylou, Misssusan and Jemillalucy. This one was spotted by all of us. TFTC!

Tough Mothers struck gold with this one.

Wandering further, I was very surprised to find I had a guy, his mum(?) and a dog on my tail, but I walked quickly, hoping to lose them. No, they too wanted to take the dead end, so I stopped while they walked past, did a 180 and came back past me. At least they gave me a friendly greeting and didn't seem too worried about what I was up to.
Stories of snakes concerned me but luckily the cache appeared quickly and I could be on my merry way. TFTC where all is shiny and fine.

I decided to take the name of this one literally. I had planned to continue around form this one, but maybe the name suggested that this would not be wise.

I was very happy to be on the geocycle to get around here today. It was still a tad wet. My feet stayed nice and dry as I pedaled through the mud and water. [^]

Another short hunt and the cache was located.

Loved this series. Found the container without any issues. TFTC

Soggy under foot, and small snake. Aargh.

Tftc.

Joint *FTF* with Linden/6 at 10:12am.
Quick find, signed and replaced. TFTC

Joint *FTF* 10:12am LTF

Smilie #2112

Joint *FTF* @ 10.12am in company with Immyky.
About to have breakfast & the notifications start coming through!
It was raining quite heavily when we set out on our quest but the rain Gods heard our plea & we only had occasional light drizzle to tend with.

Parked close by & it was into action for the remaining 300 or so metres to GZ.
This one was our quickest find of the three so far this morning, nicely placed. Well done!
Thankfully the rain held off for us.
The cache was quickly found, logged & replaced.
Immyky collected another 4 caches while we were here (we already had these 4 smilies) & it was into the Geo-beast & compass set for regions south but due to a wrong turn & distracting conversation we found ourselves headed for the fourth (unintended) target for the morning!
