My day out with TripleTurmoil is almost done, but we’ve got time for just one or two more before she turns into a pumpkin…

Our one and only DNF of the day… I’m fairly confident we interpreted the hint correctly…

Oh well… another day then….

Seems to have gone walkabout again. I will go check it out.

Cache has been replaced. Will update the hint to make it a bit easier.

Pity, this has been temporarily archived. Until the last person, the people who could not find it had less than 10 cache finds to their names. Also from what has been written they are not reading the clue correctly and looking in totally the wrong place. I will go this weekend and check it out.

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 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Found on second search. Thought it had to be near rocks as a previous geocacher had mentioned a toad. But after using GZ it’s right it was placed. Silly bunt. TFTC

Found it. Little tricky but great fun to take the kids on a nice walk.

Today, jesswrigley and I started the day with our attendance at the Slacks Creek CITO event. Once the area was cleaned of litter, jesswrigley and I separated, and so I continued to stay around the Slacks Creek and Logan area. I primarily followed the *Ugo in Slacks Creek* Wherigo as it took me a tour of the vicinity, and then later, I visited the centre of Logan and completed the *Logan Gardens* Adventure Lab. Just after lunch, the torrential rain started, and I decided to head home earlier than anticipated.

Given my initial review of no nearby parking opportunities, I was going to leave this one for another day. However, I had parked at Ikea and walked over to the nearby multi-cache's posted coordinates to read that plaque, and so I decided to extend my walk to this location too. I didn't quite understand the geocache name until seeing the interesting and hidden plaque, and then reading the geocache description. The geocache would have been better themed if a bison container had been hung nearby, but its current hiding spot was a well selected location. The cache was a quick find for me today due to accurate coordinates, I had seen it upon my first peek. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. It does look like a small ant colony has moved into the container too, but it didn't seem to be too severe. Thanks rodneya63 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

This is my first geocaching venture. It was fun. And I saw where the flying foxes were roosting. I’d seen them around and wondered where they came from. And I also got to experience some more of the area around me. Lizzy

Thank you for bringing me here.

Change of plans today.
Had to drop off the rest at Garden City, some caches in this area for me.
Was planning to use this bike for this one, in the end I just walked in.

A quick find, struggled to get the log out of the container

Thank you for this one

Not where we first thought but got it in the end.
 
17-May-19
Found it after putting my hand everywhere and probably making many suspicious drivers...not until I'd signed the log and replaced it, did I notice all the flying foxes hanging around in the trees ahead...TFTC and pointing this place out!
 
24-Apr-19
This was tricky for me. I looked at the spot and didn’t even spot it the first time. So I done a double take and found it after 20minutes searching. Good fun

Found today while caching before it got to hot. Arrived at GZ and in no time found. TFTC

*Found with [Geooh Live](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohLive)*

Today I met up with joojoo57 and Richmond Lad to solve some puzzles and gather some caches. As I arrived joojoo had a list of 9 caches we all needed to get, and suggested heading out the door straightaway as the day was expected to heat up! I didn't need any more encouragement Wink

We made use of a very convenient off road parking area, then toddled across to GZ. A bit of searching by feel and Richmond Lad made the find. TFTC, rodneya63.
 
26-Oct-18
Out caching this morning with IolantheK and Richmond Lad before heading heading inside later on when the day gets a bit warmer.
Thought we would have to venture on one side of the path but wasn't to be so. Thanks.

With the showers on and off today I thought there would be few muggles walking around, and I was nearby, so stopped for a look. Well stopped for a feel actually as I never actually saw the hiding place. Easy to retrieve, and sign the log. Then put it back in place and departed. My only worry was there is absolutely no parking nearby, but that comes with heavy housing development in the area. The nearby sign (not the plaque) claims the little critters are clean etc, but I think the folk around Hendra might have given them bad press. Maybe they need a public relations consultant to improve their image?
TFTC, rodneya63

Found my first ever Geocache !!!
Feeling relieved

Found it! Finally proved to new-to-geocaching husband that these things can be found!

Today’s plan was to get a few caches to accumulate more of the souvenirs available for the Hidden Creatures challenge. Met up with gunnie69 at Logan Central to continue our plan for the day. The journey today made our way form Logan Central down to the Loganholme Hyperdome.

Cache 13 of 27 for the day.


Thanks rodneya63 for the hunt and the cache! Big Grin










 
22-Jul-18
Out and about with Ghostgums chasing hidden creatures this morning, we parked nearby and took a short stroll in toward GZ. We pulled up at a likely spot, I leaned over and I had stopped within 10cm of the cache... Handy. Big Grin

So, container extracted, log out, names added and all returned as found, we continued on our journey.

Cheers rodneya63.

Checked out the cache and it is still safe and sound in its original location. The logbook needs a little maintenance and I will take care of that in the next few days.
 
29-Dec-17
I will have a look for it on my next bike ride past it in afew days and will update the log.

Hi could someone see if still there after an hour still no find
 
14-Jul-17
After finding a cache in a nearby park I meandered down to have a look for this one. After walking all of 400m I was begging for a coffee but forged on regardless.

I knew where to look but there didn't seem to be a break in the traffic to avoid looking like a goose. Most people I know would say that on a day-to-day basis I look like a goose anyway but on the inside I feel like a swan.

The cars kept coming and I was starting to feel impatient just hanging around so I had to check out the plaque. Once my teeth were inspected finally a break came so I lent over. There go my glasses and pen attached to my shirt.

I recovered both items and whilst doing so, spotted a hide that my slippery and agile fingers were ready for. Log signed and then another wait to rehide the cache. tftc
 
09-Jul-17
We came down here to pick up a thing or two from the big Swedish home store. Today we had the two dogs with us and seeing as they are not welcome inside the store I took them for a walk. We had a nice walk along the creek and trails and whilst doing that found this Cache.

Thanks rodneya63

I parked in the Salvation Army Car Park, could have joined in the line dancing class that was going on, but I have 2 left feet, so instead I took my 2 left feet to the cache which I found after awhile, tftc rodneya63
 
22-May-17
Checked this week and it is still in the exact same spot. I will send you a personal message with another hint.
