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,

Not sure if it's there but we couldn't find it after quite a while of searching.

Don’t think it’s here if it is there are very bad coordination

Checked all the photos so knew what we were looking for but no luck.

The coords got me to a really good hiding spot but no amount of searching helped.

Had a good look with the kids - DNF. Sorry.

Had what we thought was a real good look. Even using photos and logs from people who did find it to try guess its whereabouts. Spent a lot of time searching 'in' what I thought was the obvious hiding spot.

Our second search at this spot and still didn't find the cache. We will be back!

Just checked cache and it is still in position. Look harder people.

Visited as the same day as the owner by the looks of it, but was still unable to locate the cache. Used GPS tracking which lead us to a specific spot, but no sign of it. The brief says it's "small but easy to find once you know what you are looking for". We didn't know what we were looking for though? No clues given.

Based on pictures posted by previous finders, I think this one might be gone. Can the CO please confirm that it’s still there

Also found what I think was the spot but no cache unfortunately.

I don't think it's here. Only a tag that says 47 on it.

What a day to be out Geocaching[?] It is coming down in buckets at times.
But wait ... the rain has stopped for a moment or two ... So I made the dash from the car park to this cache.
A bit of searching but I eventually found the cache. [^]
Now back to the car before the rain starts up again.
Thanks for the cache.

Quick find TFTC

Quick visit to Graceville on a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

So what better way to pass some time than to visit a beautiful suburban park. I love them. And so do heaps of families today. Near GZ there was an amorous couple engaged in passionate tongue work. Now how to geocache without looking like a perv?Stealth mode, of course!

Found the cache and I retreated to a nearby seat to perform the pen duties before heading back to the Geo Falcon.

What an amazing place to find when caching! So beautiful and definitely a secret for the locals. The houses across the river look like mansions! 15 hectares of pure relaxation and tranquility hidden close to Brisbane's CBD. No words can explain how awesome this place is, just get on down here to enjoy the park and its many fantastic amenities for all age groups! Thank you so much gotadollarmate for the cache and for bringing us to this lovely park and gorgeous neighbourhood.

PS. Logbook was full, so have placed a temporary log

Cache requires a new logbook as its full. Have placed a temporary log in the interim

Thank you again

Out for a fun day of caching with Raynersinoz and barbbowman. We were blessed with a nice sunny day for our adventures and we had a terrific time finding a variety of caches

This was a great place to visit and were surprised to find such a great area for families to spend by the river. We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our names added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you gotadollarmate for creating the earth cache for everyone to enjoy

on our way to drop off some tb's at a local motel and this was on the way
so glad we stopped
wow ... just wow
none of us knew this place existed
it is amazing
thank u so much for bringing us here

oh my gosh I haven't seen that tree since I was a child in the territory
I need to go home and look up the name

It's a Wednesday wander with bb and Mrs JAT this week and we have a beautiful, sunny day to go caching

How lovely is this place? I have never been here before and what a beautiful area to come and visit. There were lots of families out and about enjoying the gorgeous weather. Luckily there were no muggles close to GZ and after a quick poke and prod, we had the cache in our hands. TFTC gotadollarmate and for bringing us to a great spot

Found while out caching with spotthechook. Well Spot found it -- needs a new log though, we had to sign the container.

A nice quick find. Good hide. TFTC,

Visiting Brisbane - had fun finding this one! Thanks

Searched extensively but no joy.

Nice easy find on the weekend
However the log might need replacing

We found our first cache!!! Yay! There was a muggle talking on the phone near us, but we found it without the muggle knowing.

I just get a google maps overhead view of the coordinates, then interpret that overhead view (so often trees and more trees) with my ground view (of same trees and more trees). Much more fun than being directed to a cache by a GPS device. Worked out where it had to be based on googles orange arrow. And there it was.

Nice find

Found it while enjoying a morning in the park with Graceville Chirch's Tots N Tunes group. A beautiful day and another cache to log. Except there was no log so I added a new sheet to the cache.

I have been to this park many times over the years and I have always enjoyed the calm feeling that you get walking around here. Today I arrived late in the afternoon as the air was cooling down and most of the muggles had left.

I parked at the North entrance and strolled in and over the bride to the search area . There was a muggle sitting on the nearby seat so I moved out of dight and spotted the cache I managed to retrieve it and then noticed that my shadow was in full view of the muggle if he was watching that way.

Anyway, I signed the log and replaced the cache and walked off without the muggle giving me a glance.

Visiting Australia from Canada. Caught up with an old friend in Sherwood and introduced her to caching. She loved this container - excellent introduction to caching for her!
Thanks for bringing us to Sherwood park today. I haven't been here for 23 years.

Loved the walk into gz - I weaved through the amazing trees spectacular quick find at GZ where all is good - loved the unique tool to keep the log dry!

Nice quick find by geo girl! Needs a new log

out for a walk found a second of 7 for the walk
great place to hide a cache lovely spot great view of the river
thanks for bring us here

TFTC

What a beautiful spot. I've taken my boys to this park many, many times but never bothered to look over the hill. Well worth the walk I think. Go with your geo instincts and actually look. Went to the right spot first but geoboy didn't look properly! Sent him back to have a second look but this time looking properly and then surprise, surprise there it was.

Out for a Sunday walk in the beautiful aboretum and the bonus of a cache. Didn't sign the log - forgot a writing utensil! TFTC All good.

Nice one TFTC

Beautiful spot in a lovely neighbourhood. Thanks to the Uddcredibles for taking me there.

Lovely spot with twinm from Canada.

Had to wait for my daughter at Corinda High open day so decided to come grab this one. Using the new iPhone app (which I totally loathe) I ended up going on a bit of a long roundabout hike to get to GZ which it then had trouble with... my geosense kicked in and I soon had the cache in hand. Although all the rain almost entirely covered it with mush. Signed and replaced

Tftc

Off to an hour caching, mostly caches in the area that benefit from the company of a child or a taller person.

Having seen a few like this before it was an easy find.

TFTC

Quickly found, great views of houses here, you would need a cleaner etc to maintain the lovely old ones. Got to GZ and thought I would be able to reach it but it fooled me. Grabbed the cache and went to a shady spot to sign the log. Replaced as found. TFTC

We did it it was so fun yay

We did it it was so fun yay

Took the long way round here enjoying this glorious park with surprisingly few visitors. I was a nanny a long time ago for a family with three beautiful girls so this cache brought back wonderful memories of the time spent playing in this park.

On approach I noticed the cache was lying open in pieces. A short search revealed the log and a small item of swag. I signed the log and placed back together again in the most likely location. Hopefully safely tucked away from muggle activity.

I have a photo of where I placed it, should the CO like it.

Well I finally got around to grabbing this cache this afternoon after about a year of it being my closest unfound cache to home, and being muggled out on Valentines Day last year. Today I decided on the arboretum for an afternoon stroll, making my way around almost the entirety of the park before coming around to where the cache was located. It was fairly busy, though I made a quick find between passing couples and their dogs or kids.

The toad noted by *keepingupwith* is still hiding away nearby, so lucky I didn't go poking around too much.

TFTC

Quick easy find
Beautiful spot
Enjoyed the view

Good find. Thank you. We didn't have a pen on us so didn't sign the log. Beautiful relaxing spot.

Beautiful spot. TFTC

After a work meeting I decided to do some caches. My phone had me a bit further away but I looked around and then spotted it. TFTC!

I came over this way to do a few of the caches around this area this morning and this one was the last on my list today. I still needed to get back to another which has a muggle sitting right on top of GZ. So I was hopeful of him moving on by the time I got back there from this one
Anyhow, I'd parked some distance away, as I'm not familiar with all the roads over this way. Now that I was at GZ I could see closer access points, but no worries the walk in was a pleasant one passing the nearby lagoons with all the attendant wildlife (fish, turtles and birds)
It turned out I was having a bit of trouble with GZ or at least where my GPS was telling me GZ was, because I wasn't finding anything. I eventually tried a spot about ten meters from my GZ and pretty much instantly spotted the cache container. It was an I know what that is moment
I had to wait a while as a boat had pulled up at the dock by the river, and a group of muggles where making there way up the path nearby. Eventually I was able to go in for a stealthy grab and log signing duties done, the cache was replaced into the hide as it was found [:)
All is good with the cache.
Thanks for the cache gotadollarmate

I'm working on a nice D5/T5 challenge cache for an upcoming trip to the UK (GC3ACAM) and needed to find 4 caches to fill a shortfall in my date found grid. Luckily I have a nice little buffer of unfound caches around home so a bit of a trip the long way round coming home from work had me arriving at the park. Things weren't looking promising as I arrived at GZ with a muggle sitting on a nearby bench but a fortuitously placed tree meant I was screened while I recovered and signed the log book. TFTC

Found it! But it had us fooled. Stared directly at it and kept looking elsewhere before we realized it was the cache!! Silly us - going to blame the fact that we did this before school drop off and running late. I'm addicted to geocaching!

Found it

Found it didn't have a pen so log it later put a bit of a treat in their for the next cacher that comes by

Nice spot and a clever but simple hide. TFTC

One we had saved up for a sunny day these holidays. Tftc we love it here.

Went to the playground nearby with the geokids today and took a short break to find this cache. A nice one for the geokids to find. Signed the log and resumed our time at the playground. TFTC!

Geokiddies and I came back again for a look today while there were no muggles around - goeson found this one!! TFTC

Tftc

Didn't have a pen on us but we left a treat for the next catcher

Enjoyed the walk to GZ past a child's birthday gathering, children playing near the creek, adults warning little ones to be careful, a dad chasing his toddler with her screaming in delight, a person meditating and people walking their dogs.

I went straight to the spot but didn't search thoroughly enough and wandered around looking at the view and reading labels on trees, trying to appear natural. I finally came from a different angle and made the find.
Thanks, gotadollarmate, this place is definitely worth exploring further.

Found this one with a couple of first time cachers. Nice hide.

**Smilie #4328**

Out & about clearing up a few 'solved but unfound' mystery caches before they get archived! LOL ...

A nice quick find after a pleasant stroll around the park.
Lovely spot here, nice & quiet today with a gentle breeze blowing.
Walked straight to the cache.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

**TFTC gotadollarmate **

Out caching with Vegan Cachers.
Nice quick find.

Cool hide. TFTC

Thanks but this is definitely not 2.5/5 difficulty

Re-visiting a favourite park, loved the cache.

Nice little hide. Found after see a show by the chelmer junior drama group. Tftc

Nice quick find with Benny bopper and jemillalucy, very quiet cols windy day down here today. tftc

A quick find today with lisylou jemilalucy out fir the day for Tobias play

This was our first find several weeks ago. TFTC

Busy place, found the cache.

this one is a cool one

On my way home after lunch with T-tech, and I rather liked the idea of a walk along the river [^] It's a pretty and tranquil spot. Near GZ there were a couple of picnicking mums, but I was able to have a careful dig around and made the find. Then I pretended to be measuring the tree, then "tied my shoelaces" in order to replace the container TFTC, gotadollarmate.

Saturday. Slow Puncture were visiting the Arboretum to celebrate Mr SP's mum's 85th birthday. The whole family were there so after a while kerry and Luke figured no-one would notice if we skipped away for a quickie. Quick cache that is

Our compasses were both pointing to something larger but after a while they settled down, but still it took us a while to find. Luke said to Kerry "what about this...", to which she replied I have already tried that. I then said "Yeah, but what about this other one...?" and sure enough, it was what we were searching for [xx(]

This was the 1st of 1 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***gotadollarmate***, for showing us this place.

Found it, put it back in its original position cause i think some kids accidently shifted it out

Looked and looked but no luck ...

Visiting the park today with my wife's mothers group. Daddy's were invited today. After playing on the playground we went for the little loop walk. Had this found with no problems. TFTC

Nice easy find even though our gps was a little out. Great spot, hadn't been here before. TFTC!

First qld find

After work, NurseyJulie and I made our way towards this cache. We found a place to park the geomobile and then strolled towards GZ. So many muggles here with their dogs, or just taking a walk. I hope it is quieter at GZ. At GZ, my phone refused to settle, so had me searching a couple of different spots. Then I heard NurseyJulie say "Got it". She wasnt very far away, but my phone had not put me there We added our names to the logbook, returned the cache to its hiding spot and continued on our way. TFTC

A lovely late afternoon walk here. Lots of people with their dogs or just having a early evening walk before dark. The GPS counted down but sometimes it would not settle, however the geocacher instinct kicked in and got down to searching a spot with a stick. Soon poked it and retrieved. Log signed - and it was dry today. TFTC gotadollarmate

Third time lucky! Now I know a little more about this.

The log was a bit water damaged, BTW.

Back in the rain for a second look. After quickly finding the toad I did a bit of scratching and soon had the cache. I don't know how I missed that the first time, but am now in the log.

Thanks for the cache gota.

Just found it. Nice day in the park. Confirmed still here guys look harder.

There was couples galore here today, so we couldn't quite get close enough. That's alright though because it seems there might be some trouble with this cache. I'll be back, and hopefully be able to find it!

Agree, it may be gone. Or does the boat icon mean that the map is wrong, and you need a boat to find this?

Stairman1 and I searched high and low I think this one is gone

I was hoping to find this one but the fates were against me. The omens weren't good either. Firstly it was cloudy and threatening rain. Even so I took the stroll only to discover a couple enjoying the bench near GZ. So I took a slow wander about the obvious hide candidates until my phone settle and it landed on a very good looking spot so I sat down to have a sneaky peek.

Didn't turn up anything in the first spot so I had to wait for the canoodling couple to make their way, this didn't take too long because it started to rain a little. After they left I had a thorough look about and still found nothing out of the ordinary...

So I did a little PAF and that didn't help either. So I left without a find but with a nice walk in the park on the way home.

Thanks for the cache GotA

Headed off to Geokid_Tobias drama lesson early so we had time to pop by here. Both geokids made a quick find.

Found it, but forgot pen. Thank you

For the first half of my life I lived with a view of the Arboretum, and spent many hours as a child playing there. Also hid several caches there in the past which have long been archived due to flooding.
Tried for this one yesterday, but a couple were communing close by, so left them to it.
Today, nobody around. An easy find, though I would consider it a micro rather than small personally.
TFTC, gotadollarmate.
