Looks a bit different here these days. Hope to see this one updated so we can get back here another day 
Owner attention requested. DNF noted to change the colour on my map for future reference
Ad per recent logs think this cache should get a CO visit. There is no way anyone can locate this cache ATM...

While over from NZ, visiting family, with friends, thought we would try to have another look for this cache. There is no way we could get to it
As mentioned by others, this is now the site of a government funded development - another abhorrent greyhound racing track.
Great little find on the side of the road thanks so much for the thought and effort that went into making this one.

It was a Girls’ caching antics day today, and although we didn’t have a KBreeAHH with us, SaintsMadHouse, Cosmonaut97 and I did have Signal the Frog standing in for her, and fully intended on a day of fun and frivolities.
Our third cache of the day, and we parked the car then scrambled towards GZ. I think the girls were questioning where I was heading for some reason, but before they caught up I had the very cute cache in hand.
Most logs signed today as GCA to save time and logbook space.
Thanks for the cache WESTSTIGERSNO.1.

Found while out with the Geocaching Chics for some Antics! Cute cache and all is good here
Found with 1minniemoo and saintsmadhouse today on an outing to turn these greenies into smilies. After discussing this adventure for the last month or so, we had decided that today was going to be the day....and that was about as much planning as had been completed prior to meeting up in a semi central location. From there, we had a more solid plan at least until lunch. It was a great day and I got home roughly 13 hours after I left :> We have plans for our next adventure but no dates - we'll get there :>
I’ve passed this one many times but decided today was the day to take it off the map.
After overnight rain, the track was a little muddy but I survived, then made it through the long grass without snakes.
The cache was easily found and looks like it has avoided being munched by anything.
After a little wrestle to open the lid, I was surprised to find no log sheet at all, but I guess it was mushy. I’ve replaced it.
Headed back to my car just as more rain started to fall. TFTC and go Swifts Bluebirds!

Forgot to bring the pen out the car, although I feel the cache will have a hard time passing through the hole tftc
I found it but log book was wet and damage. Also when we opened it alot of ants came out. TFTC
On our way to Amberley Airbase to see one of the retired jet in the hanger we first stopped here for a quick pickup. We found the beautiful blue bird however the log was mushy and could not be signed.
From reading the logs there has been this problem with the cache log since February this year. There area is very wet underfoot and clearly all around GZ is subject to flooding. So, we are not sure why maintenance logs have not been submitted. Grass is high but cache is easily found and not affected but my guess is that it would be scary to retrieve this cache in warmer weather for fear of snakes , or even on cooler days like today. My GeoPartner would not venture far into the long grass for fear of snakes or getting wetter feet as well.
Interesting location! Quick find. TFTC WESTSTIGERSNO.1

This weekend, with a scheduled Mount Alford wedding, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I used the occasion to base ourselves at Boonah for a long weekend exploring the Scenic Rim vicinity.
On Friday, we took a short stop in Ipswich before arriving in Boonah staying in an ex-church accommodation.
On Saturday, we explored Mount French, Boonah, Lake Wyaralong, and then returned via Kalbar completing the *Churches of the Scenic Rim !* Adventure Lab.
On Sunday, we took a hike up Mount Greville, and after checking out a few stops along Reynolds Creek, we returned to Boonah for showers, before driving back home.
Following our hike at Mount Greville followed by a Boonah refreshment and lunch, we then started to drive back to Brisbane, stopping at a few geocaches along the way, including this geocache. This was our final cache find for the day, and after walking through some scrub, we found the cache on the ground. The cache container was in good shape, but unfortunately, the logbook was damp and fragile, so it may need some TLC soon. Thanks WESTSTIGERSNO.1 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Very easy, needs new paper though, was all soggy from rain I’d assume. Thanks for the Cache! -Sunny & Alanah
Found, alway fun when your hips/phone steers you wrong… all good at Location, TFTC
This is another one of those caches I always see on the map and mean to stop and find but somehow I never do. So today, I made the effort. Thanks for the cache
After hatching a plan with chamad, Nikid1 and NayFee to visit Mt Blaine, we targeted a few caches to collect along the way, this was among our early morning haul.
With 4 pairs of eyes, the cute little cache was quickly spotted. Our names added to the log we were off on our adventures.
Thanks Weststigersno.1 for the cache.

Out for a day of caching with Willis007 Chamad and Nayfee
Looks like someone has lost their towel near GZ. Oh dear coz as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy states:
“A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. ... More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value.
Left the towel to discover a cute cache guardian not the “blue bird” I had in mind but very cute. TFTC WESTSTIGERSNO.1

Out and about with Nikid1, Willis007 and Chamad for a spot of caching around Ipswich and surrounds for the day.
With the car parked nearby all that was needed than was a short stroll through some knee high grass, we spotted a potential hiding place and wandered on over to investigate, once there we soon spotted a cute cache guardian. We quickly signed the log and replaced the cache as found.

Out for a day of caching with Willis007, Nayfee and Nikid1. I had a list of caches that where required for certain reasons of D/T, 360, age and just because we were passing. However, the main aim of the day was to walk Mt. Blain, grab the caches and the views at the top.
With no one around here today we got to park close by, but it seems as though others have “parked” here before as the evidence of a fun night was scattered around. It was a short walk to the cache and was easily found, while this guardian doesn’t eat much, it was very cute.
With log signed and cache replaced as found, we were off to continue our list for the day. Thanks for placing this one here.

Planing a day trip out Ipswich way and noticed I hadn't logged this find when Richmond Lad and I visited earlier last year. We had to make a second visit due to muggle issues the time before. Thanks.
Out and about caching today - this is my 3rd time here. In past there were muggles around. Today, there were no muggles at all. After the phone GPS settled down, it was off to GZ. A quick find. TFTC.
A warm arvo and still we were heading for a walk
Thank you for hiding this geocache WESTSTIGERSNO.1

Found this with my 2 kids and they loved it! Find number 3 for us and we are starting to get the hang of it
Wasn't it Vera Lynn who sang about Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover? I had to come to Yamanto to get some aluminium sheet for a project, so went the extra distance to reach this one. An easy and attractive find. Most impressive. Added to the log on the piece of ordinary paper. TFTC, WestsTigersNo.1.
Very quick and easy find. It’s pretty a pretty cute cache. Had trouble writing in the wax paper so have added a strip of normal paper. Make sure you bring your own pen/pencil.
Out for a morning of caching on the last day of 2020. Easy find once the GPS started cooperating. TFTC
Found but unfortunately my pen wouldn’t write on the wax paper might have to come back with another pen
Found and returned to the same location, but I’m not sure it is the original intended spot.
TFTC!

A FP from us for such a sweet cache. It was the last cache of the day and so cute. The little chikins thought it was just beautiful. Thanks for making such a great finale to a wonderful day.
A slight detour here to grab this cache... one of those hunts where it’s hard to look nonchalant as the traffic goes past...
Tftc... you would think I’d have learnt by now, as soon as I leave the phone/camera in the car to charge I find something worthy of a pic... always the way...
