Looks like its been muggled found the ziplog bag with writing but no logbook or anything in it
 
04-Jan-22
Gone just too many times and getting expensive to replace the large container needed. Thanks to past finders.
 
02-Jan-22
Logging this one as found. the kids climbed into the middle of this and we didn't find a container but we found an empty ziplock bag with the word log book written on it and a painted rock that could have been a swap. May have been muggled
 
24-Dec-21
Container is gone

Looked everywhere and even crawled inside...don't think the container is here anymore....

Enjoyed just sitting down and taking a minute while tszd4 drew a quick picture for our log.
Love this idea. Tftc!
 
22-Jun-21
I really loved this cache. It was so nice to sit on the grass next to this beautiful fairy tree while the sun warmed us on this cold and windy winters day. Taking a minute to stop and have a play was really lovely and well worth a favourite point. TFTC!
 
22-Jun-21
Had fun with this one. A definite favourite. TFTC.
 
16-May-21
Heading to Dreamworld today - wow!!!! On the way, stopped by this large cache with the kids. The youngest draw a picture of us on the rollercoaster. What an awesome day.

This was a pretty cool cache - got the thumbs up from the kids, and a FP from me. TFTF RoddyC
 
09-May-21
Kids loved this one. Such a shame we are on a mission to get 25 more before dark, otherwise the children would have loved drawing a picture in this cubby.

Hooray

Good cache
Found with kymmy7
 
28-Feb-21
So this morning I meet with Willis007 and had a plan to grab a few caches on the way to a CITO tree planting event. An early start to beat the heat and the traffic so as we could be home early.

This one was on my list of to do’s, a large cache in suburbia, really??? We walked over to a likely spot and tried to find an easy way in. it was willis007 who rustled her in to the fairies liar and made the find. She had fun in signing the log book and drawing stick figures in the new log book, lol.

All good with this one, thanks for the replacement cache, with the log signed and cache replaced as found we were onto the next one on our list. Thanks for placing this one here.
 
28-Feb-21
A fun day out with Davidwazza! TFTC!
 
28-Feb-21
Over in this part of the world this morning looking forward to a CITO. After hitching a ride with CHAMAD, we arrived early and stopped by to collect some caches along the way.
Searching for an opening in the fairy dell, I climbed in and found a lovely cache full of pens, pencils and crayons, along with a great log book for finders to draw pictures in. At the same time CHAMAD is telling me to hurry up, using his favourite saying ... come on, we're burning daylight! This is what I drew in the log book in my very unartistic fashion.
Thanks so much Sewrainbow and RoddyC for placing this wonderful cache here. A fav from me.
 
28-Feb-21
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to Beenleigh and Eagleby, with our main focus was the Eagleby Wetlands so we could attend the tree planting CITO event. Following the successful planting, we walked around the wetlands, before exploring the vicinity further by vehicle. We then partially completed the *Looking around Beenleigh* Adventure Lab, finishing with a lunch at the famous yet busy Yatala Pie shop. In the late afternoon, I then did some hiking and jogging in Mount Coot-tha forest, and primarily targeted the *Get Rekt* Adventure Lab.

We walked a few loops around this big bush, trying to find any sign or evidence of a cache. I think the hardest part was just accessing our way in, but once navigated, we managed to see this nicely sized cache container. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. This was a great idea, and I have seen these before. It feels just a shame that the old one went missing - why would anyone take something like that (the question for all geocaches perhaps). Thanks Sewrainbow for the cache placement, and RoddyC for its ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

I think this should actually be archived. When I found it I only found a piece of paper with cachers’ names so counted it as a find. Container is definitely missing.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Plenty of bees around this afternoon because the bush is in full bloom.

Risked getting stung to make the grab and managed not to anger any of the bees. Signed and placed it a bit closer for the next finder.

Checked out our Eagleby caches today. Happy to say we found this one in good order.

It's my last week in Australia for a while, unless I'm stranded here, so what better way to cram in the caches than to join RoddyC for another maintenance run. Today we went round lots of hides in the Eagleby area, not just Rod's and got quite a haul.
I like the idea of this cache although I'm bad at drawing, especially quickly, so sorry for soiling your book with my naff sketch.
Tftc and UTV

A bit of a detour on my way back to work.

As it is Friday the 13th and coronavirus is all we talk about I drew a pair of crossbones in the log. Hope that we all will stay safe and healthy.

Thank you

Great idea for a cache. Suitable art was provided in the log. TFTC!

This was the second of the COs caches collected today. The resident artist did the artwork. Wouldn't like to pysch into what she was thinking about each team member. Never mind, fun idea for a cache. Thanks for continuing the life of this cache RoddyC.

Given a fave point as who doesn’t like faeries ? Loved the log book idea and our drawings! Tftc
 
Out caching with a group of 5 for Leap Day. Not a big day, but some targeted caches to pick up! This was one of them! TFTC
Enjoyed drawing a picture to mark our visit

Round and round the mulberry bush we go. Eventually we spy it and then ESCR did some magic drawing of us all before if was safely tucked away for the next finder.

Took me a while but I found the cache
 
I loved this. Got to love a cache with that little extra something. Because it was starting to rain when we were here I drew a rainbow.

Very nice find while on a geocaching trip with woolwood9.
*Thanks for helping make our tour around fun!*
Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or our full user names or tm421 / ww9 in pen.

Nice cache - not very artistic so didn't add any art.
 
26-Jul-19
Out with joojoo57 for a day of caching, to get some numbers for the final Mystery at the Museum souvenir.

I got down and dirty for this one, but in the end the hide was simpler than expected. TFTC, RoddyC and Sewrainbow.
 
26-Jul-19
After searching high and low at GZ we finally found the cache well hidden. Thanks.
 
20-Jun-19
What a wonderful creative idea with a great size hard to find, all good here, thanks for the idea good stuff.
 
22-Apr-19
CaMe out for a caching trip trip to get over cabin fever. Started to rain again so no drawing this time. Great location TFTC.
 
10-Apr-19
Came over from Ormeau to especially do this cache as I needed a large container to drop
off a TB given to me at a recent cachers meeting in the UK. Found after a bit of scrabbling
around. Signed log, sorry I'm no sort of artist so no picture I'm afraid. Also dropped off the
'travelling book mini TB'. TFTC.
 
02-Apr-19
Drove around to the River Hills Road narrow entry into the open space/park. A short walk in and GZ seemed obvious. However a parting and peering didn’t show anything so we glanced around for another location. Nothing seemed probable so further investigation where we were and the cache was discovered. It is in good condition and we gladly signed the log.
Cheers and happy caching!
 
20-Mar-19
What a terrific park! And a great spot for a cache. Made a quick find here this morning. Not an artistic bone in my body so just signed the log. TFTC!
 
17-Mar-19
I was expecting to find it in the middle of the large clump so parted the branches and headed in. I found lots of rubbish in there but no cache. Then I spotted it right on the edge, although still well hidden. I had to extract myself and go around to grab it. Just a stamp today, no artsy log for me.

Thanks for the cache RoddyC - original placement by Sewrainbow. This was find #4036.

Down for the day visiting Mum, and found some time to grab a few caches while in the area. Went round and round before spotting the container from just the right angle. Not quite a large container, but a good size nonetheless. It was far too hot a day for lingering and drawing, so I left my mark and moved along.

Need to find a cache for a souvenir today. I have 1 hour free for a bike ride too. Can I get to this in time?

Not much trouble on Evie. I have visited this cache before, but it was too busy around GZ, so I did not hunt.

Nice and quiet early this morning. I had to dive in 3 time for this one. First time nothing. Second there it is. Third to extract.

My artistic abilities are limited, but scribble I did.

Thanks to Sewrainbow for the original hide, and RoddyC for keeping it alive.

Not many pictures on the log, but I did enjoy the ones there were.

Liked all the pens in the case

Thank you for placing such an imaginative cache. I don't usually think of stopping to draw something, especially in the middle of a park. I am visiting the area from Canberra and since it has been raining so much, I'm trying to get as many as possible while it's dry. Thanks RobbyC
 
08-Aug-18
As neither Dennis or I are very good at drawing we choose to just leave our signature. This is a lovely place to go for a walk and again not a soul to be seen. SL TFTC

Today’s plan was to get a few caches to accumulate some of the souvenirs available for the Hidden Creatures challenge. Met up with gunnie69 at Eagleby who had an ambitious plan for the day. It started with questioning our beliefs in mythical creatures, finishing off a series of ones around Mt Warren Park.

Cache 5 of 29 for the day.


Thanks RoddyC for the hunt and the cache! Big Grin










 
15-Jul-18
Bit of team work for this one... Out and about with Ghostgums, I did the Emu thing and stuck my head in, spotted the container, then guided G in for extraction. He has the loger arms I reckon... Big Grin

We sorted business out quickly, returned the cache as found and headed back down the path.

Cheers Sewrainbow and RoddyC.

I could see the cache from the other side so it was just a matter of walking around and in. Cache duly signed and returned after admiring some of the art within. What a lovely area. We just had to have a leisurely stroll around and over the bridge before moving on to the next one.
Thanks for the cache Roddy C and Sewrainbow

I wound up in Beenleigh. That was my big outing for the day, dropping off dry-cleaning. Gee, my adventuring sure is inspirational - just wait until I pick it up next week! But I sat in the centre of Beenleigh, whipped open the geocaching app and filtered by size. Surely there's some Large nearby. And there was - this one. The app it turns out thinks 'Other' is close enough to 'Large' and so I made another find before coming here.

Once before I am positive I have found a geocache called 'Fairy Art Journal' or very similar but when I checked it out, either it has changed names or my memory is exactly as corrupt as I think it is. So I drove over here to Eagleby, parked near an access and wandered in. I was pretty impressed with this park. Indeed I was too busy thinking about other things I strolled well past GZ. But I took photos so I'm happy.

Back at the co-ordinates I peered in a few times and spotted the geocache. There was a brief moment where someone passing by may have thought the bush had sprouted legs from the knees down as I was 90% in the bush grabbing the container. Thankfully there was nobody around, but as I sat and added my page, a few folks were also out enjoying the park this afternoon. I replaced as found and enough excitement for one day, I'm headed home. Thanks for this geocache, Sewrainbow Smile

The large container was easily found in the most likely hide, even though the coordinates are slightly out. There was a couple seated at the nearest bench seats with their dogs, so we had to sit near GZ and wait for them to be distracted before we could go in for the grab. He-Squirrel attempted to first, but there were a few wasps buzzing, which he’s allergic to, so he tagged me in for the easy retrieve. Adorable cache concept, so have another FP

My Little cub Scout loved exploring to find this geocache and spent ages checking out all the trinkets inside. Favourite point from us!
 
16-Dec-17
When I mentioned this cache was next on the hit list the geodaughter didn't seem to be all that excited. When I explained there was a fairy theme and some of her artistic skills may be required the level of enthusiasm grew. The enthusiasm then died out again when there were some new posts on instagram that needed her undivided attention.

When we got to GZ, we circled for a while and couldn't spot anything of note. I really wanted to go in deep because it looked like an obstacle course from a military base but the cache description said there was no need to break trees. I'm going to break some heads soon if I can't find it.

Finally I spotted the cache and we retrieved the fairy journal so my daughter could commence work. It must have looked strange to see two adults standing behind a bush waiting for their daughter to draw something, but a beautiful rendition of Tinker-Bell was added to the journal. tftc
