Logs
Due to repeated incidences of deliberate spoilers & photographs being posted on several online social media sites & in cache logs, by a small cadre of relatively new cachers , our caches no longer fit the D/T levels or challenges as intended.
Add to this the often spiteful/derogatory & negative comments logged and/or posted online by these same few people, an increase in 'muggle' (?) interference & the disappearance (?) of several caches in recent days, as well as verbal attacks in general conversation, & we have come to the unfortunate decision that it just isn't worth wasting our time, effort & money on placing & maintaining caches any longer.
Following repeated requests for these people to respect the caches, the COs & to follow Groundspeak guidelines by amending their behaviour, which was met with 'We can do what we like!', we no longer wish to be the subject of a few spiteful individuals' attacks & rather choose to enjoy our caching experience without their input.
We thank all those that have enjoyed our caches & responded positively & in the true spirit of Geocaching & can only apologise to those who this decision may disappoint.
As always ...
**SAFE & HAPPY CACHING**
Regards
**Dennis & Linda aka Vegan Cachers (VC) **

Found the likely spot and stood on our tippy toes, just to be a little contrary. All in good condition, we reluctantly moved on (the breeze filtered through at this spot, unlike the rest of the walk, and we had a reprieve from the 30deg heat of the day)
Geocaching day with the family muggles. Got out my new handy dandy telescopic poker and neice poked something unnatural. Got some ants very angry... TFTC
After a good night sleep I’m ready to explore some less urbane caching areas – I spot a nice grouping of caches around the Meadowland picnic area and the Minnippi Parkland and after a quick taxi ride I’m ready for some caching… I’m still very careful of critters due to the attributes on most caches. I ended-up the day with 16 finds and a few DNF, but a very nice day outside.
At GZ my GPS bounce a bit but there is only one good suspect and it’s a quick find.
Thanks for the cache and the very nice day outside

Out caching with Monkey Maker for the night - a quick find and we were on our way again without disturbing the residents that were sound asleep!
We spotted the obvious structures on approach but we soon realised GZ was no where near them so else where we looks. Only one place for it really and what do you know...there it is safe and sound. As we signed in I spotted a few odd looking shapes in the branches. On closer inspection we realised it was 9 or 10 birds fast asleep with their heads buried under their wings. A quick look around and we spotted more. Well I've definitely never seen that before, very cool.
Thanx again VC

Out and about today with RoddyC and DiamonJS for a morning walk around the Harry Potter series.
After that, DiamonJS and headed onto the McHoot series.
Now it is just me left to walk around Minnippi Parklands.
Thanks for the caches.

A day was planned out on the dark side, and what better spot to start from than the Minnippi Parklands.
The cache title had me preparing for a climb, before I realised it wasn't required. Quick find, all is well here.

Once again, geofemale is on a role! Sometimes I feel like I'm barking up the wrong tree

Had to stand for a while till all the muggles coming from every direction passed by then made the grab.TFTC.
It is nice to see that these tracks are so well used. There are people doing there thing everywhere.
Got the cache and signed and put away.
Then we were visited by a lovely chocolate Lab. Nice doggy!!

Today we went caching with the team of Kristie Morgan. We had a great walk in the Minnippi Parklands area, just completing our last one as the rain started falling.
A nice quick find at this location.
Thanks for placing this cache Vegan Cachers (VC)

Found by Sunshine Toledo (ST) and Jinga2 (J2) at 12:37pm. All caches we were looking for today were in Minnippi so we got an early start. It was back round the lake again and down to this cache from the east and it was found quite quickly. TFTC
A quick find because it was on the ground near where I suppose it was originally placed. Logged and placed back in its safe spot. TFTC!
While out for a bike ride in this area today we passed by here and found this cache.
TG did the jump up here and surprising she got it.

Caught up with Ms Maddy for an afternoon of caching in this little bit of bush land. I was on fire for most of the day spotting many a cache from a few steps back. This was the first of many.
Calling this the birthday run even though it's not my birthday Hey, is anyone having a birthday today?!
A couple of days of relative inactivity if you don't count excessive sleeping, and here we were on a nippy Sunday afternoon. Kind of grateful for the nudge to get out on foot and walk as it was a nice stretch. I have to wear sunglasses under doctor's orders but that did not seem to impair my caching vision
A muggle was standing nearby taking photos across the lagoon. However the cache was located a bit further afield. We decided to walk clockwise and see how many we could log before either the (threatening) drizzle or fading light caught us out.
TFTC VC! I promised you logs today! Finally clearing a few on the home territory.

Camo wasn't great around this one so we tried to hide it a bit better than we found it log is almost full too! TFTC
I reached GZ first and missed the cache as I circled. Nurseyjulie spotted it and I jumped up to grab it. We added oour names to the log and continued on our way. TFTC
Last stop in the parklands today. Some photographers nearby, so we tried to be as stealthy as possible. I kept a look out whilst SG reached for the container. TFTC VC
Approached this from the right angle that it was in plain sight. Log signed and replaced as found ( although KerriMG put a little camo around it) which lead to a great discussion between follow cachers. Love just walking behind listening and smiling.

Out for the day at beautiful Minnippi parklands with Lenore1972 & Nikid1. This was our fourth cache of the day & I was on the phone as we headed towards this one & spotted it straight away (maybe that's the secret to me finding a cache - be distracted... or maybe it's because it was sitting out in plain sight!)
Log signed & replaced as found although I did put some camo over it (much to the chagrin of Lenore1972)
TFTC Vegan Cachers & for bringing us to this great parkland.

Took us longer to find than it should have. Was where we were expecting but lots of muggles around slowed us down. TFTC
Thursday fun with barbb and FastEd. Cache #12 of 14. We've been meaning to get out to Minnippi Parklands for a few weeks. I'm glad we've waited, because each week more and more caches seem to be popping up here .
This one took us WAY TOO LONG to find...but we got there in the end thanks to barbb. TFTC Vegan Cachers

Out for the day with barbbowman and Raynersinoz.
This one took way too long. After reading some previous logs and knowing the height of some of these cachers, we were soon able to find the cache.
Log signed and replaced.

FINALLY! Getting my act together to catch up on un-logged caches so my stats are correct for the Alice event. Met up with a friendly group of cachers for a day of exploring this precious piece of parkland and bush. Really enjoyed caching with the mob and thank you to the C.O.'s for their efforts in putting the caches out here. It is a pity that some have been archived because of the actions of a minority as these caches were part of a good tour of this area.
It was a bit more than a jump for this one, thankfully we had Iolanthe K to do that part of it while the rest of us did the spotting and guiding from terra firma! TFTC VC's x

We hadn't to jump up because diamonjs took her walking stick and the cache was falling down in our hands.
Out with Crew 153 and a bunch of other caching teams to tackle the caches in the Minnipi Parklands area. We had a great day finding a variety of caches, with everyone contributing to the finds.
Thank you Vegan Cachers (VC) for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

A nice little spot for a cache. No jumping needed. I was with a group of well equipt cachers! TFTC VC.
This afternoon I've joined up with Crew 153, JustaTrifle, eatmorchikin, Diamonjs, joojoo57, echocage1 and geefer to take a long walk around the caches in the southern half of the Parklands.
Jumping up really didn't help A stick was used to extract the container, and geefer's long arms did the replacing. TFTC, Vegan Cachers.

12th of 26 finds for the fun day of caching with a group of Facebook friends.
The group soon arrived at GZ and there were not too many places to hide a cache here so it was quickly retrieved.
Thanks for the cache Vegan Cachers (VC)

Took a quick circuit around the lake this afternoon just on dusk, to try to improve my daily step count. No problems here. The cache name certainly helped to find the cache, but it wasn't really necessary to jump (and I am a little vertically challenged)
Thanks VC

My mate Pipper Pointer invited me to go for a short geo-raid and I suggested this area. PP brought the bikes and it was the first time I've ridden in years, so I was a bit rusty and sore at the end.
I should have looked at the map better here as I glanced at it and went to two or three wrong places before we found the right spot, for an easy grab. TFTC where all is fine.

No need to jump, rather to wait for a quiet moment. Grabed and signed in seconds. TFTC
Quickly found.
Found this cache while attending the Bulimba Creek CITO event. After collecting some rubbish, joined up with RoddyC, Hunting rabbit and patrol14 for a wander around the park and a few smilies!
Thanks Linden/6 for the cache.

CITO. TFTC thank goodness geomummy was tall enough. Geomama was a way too short to even see it haha
Was assessing the cache location when I was spotted by some CITO cachers who pointed me in the right direction. My feet did not need to leave the ground for this one. TFTC.
This was the next one along the way and we were soon at GZ.
Quite a number of places I could jump up.
Cache was spotted by me.
On the way back, we noticed this lone cacher standing at GZ and after asking the catch phrase known to all cachers "Have you found it" we kindly gave him a few tips.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Linden/6 All good with this cache

We were here for CITO Event with Patrol14, The Hunting Rabbit, and Ghost Gums, doing a geocaching tour around the lake.
Thank goodness this cache is NOT up high! Quick easy find by GG.
Found at 1.05pm on 16th April 2016. TFTC.

This was a busy one. I had to play with my phone for a while til the coast was clear.
A quick lap of GZ and the container was located.

Almost gave up, but only a few places it could be...not in the ants nest thank god!
I was hoping I didn't have to jump. There was a man standing on the water's edge looking at the wild-life. Once he had exited stage left I was able to look for the cache. Found it. Then came the couple on bikes - wish I had mine.
Cache returned and I headed west.

Looked around and after previous cache looked up cache was in hand log signed and replace. Tftc
End up deciding to make this the last stop for the day as the rain was making things more than a little uncomfortable.
When we arrived near GZ I thought I knew what may be needed but it turns out that Mr LHE Duo was able to put his hand on the cache first. We got the log signed and soon had it replaced as found, and headed back towards the cars.

Out with Tough Mothers today. Luckily they come in various heights and this one was found quickly without a jump.
Out today with geodaughter Annett AKA "Kingkeylocksmiths", and as these were only recently placed we made it our goal to get the smileys TFTC
18/3/16 out today caching with Marina25. This was our first cache for the day and a quick find with no jumping required by us. TFTC Linden/6
Was looking in the wrong place for a little while then figured it out and found the container. Great series! TFTC
Genyo and I arrived, did a survey of the area and began the hunt. Genyo had the cache in hand before long. Tftc!
Going by the name I thought it was not a possibility for a vertically challenged person but I got it signed and replaced. TFTC
BigPong is being flaky tonight and this is the second time I have had to type this log. I can't remember what I wrote in the first log. BigPong insist that there is nothing wrong with the connection.
Anyway, I didn't have to jump up. I circumnavigated the area and determined the most likely spot. Then I just reached in, had a feel around and accidentally knocked the cache to the ground.
Luckily there was no one around at the time. This one could potentially be a high muggle zone.
