Logs
After some close inspection, the original hide location is no longer suitable for a cache to reside here. We searched for some alternate hiding spots but nothing appropriate could be found nearby, so we have opted to archive this cache - thanks to all who found.
Don’t know what Ethan Hawke has to do with anything. Pro tip; don’t climb on top of the circuit box.
Found it. TFTC

Weird flex but good hide. Probably the most creative cache I've found around Toowoomba. TFTC
Found whilst out exploring the area. Loved Quens Park too. Greetings from a UK cacher.
Thank you for this cache, a little different you the usual. Found while out with Citizen1, quick find logged and replaced before some muggles appeared TFTC
Out on a wonder around Queens Park with my geofamily. A nice quick find by wombles and then 1MM volunteered to retrieve the log. Cute cache!
Thanks for the smiley soldier boys

Heading around Queens Park with NyssaFlutterby and Wombles&Co, one of the waypoints took us almost past this cache. So of course a quick detour was in order.
Wombles instantly saw the hide and retrieved the little critter. I did feel a little bad for what I put him through during the log extraction process, but we soon popped him back in his home once more.

Heading up the range to Toowoomba for Brother Colin's event today, and not letting a little thing like heavy rainstorms stop me .
The rain was really coming down now, mandating the use of the big Bunnings umbrella. There were folks further along in the park busily packing up their gazebos, looks like the markets were rained out. Lucky for me otherwise the park would have been rather busy.
An easy find here, after finding froggy's favourite hollow.

Thanks for the experience **soldier boys**

Several years ago now we had the idea for a cache exactly like Brother Colin's referenced in the cache description and so I went gathering info and potential hides for a final...and guess where I had planned to hide it!!! (very glad ours never got off the ground though as all the info signs used in BC's went up after our recon!). Have driven past many times looking at that spot on the map wondering if this cache was indeed where I thought it was.
Took the littlest Esky Boy for 'kid cover' and when we found the cache we had a little laugh remembering the time we all were searching for a cache and Mr Esky saw one of these that he thought was the container...until it moved! Thanks soldier boys. A fave point given.

Found this with Mum as 'Jess & Caro'. She is now Carø and I now have my own geocaching profile so we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!
Someone has an orthodontist appointment today so I'd decided we could find this cache on our way there. I wonder how the cache finding skills of the anti-caching teenager will be today?
I parked in the 2 minute carpark nearby and took note of the time. This could be interesting.
Well surprise surprise, the anti-caching geo-teen went straight to a particular spot and started poking around with a stick. She was a little wary of what may be hiding there so I promptly reached in, hoping for the best and blocking the memory of recent near-misses with snakes in the bush... and I grabbed the cache and tossed it in her direction.

Found with my geohubby WallabyTim. I saw a looming drain as we were walking to GZ and was hoping it wasn't in there! Thankfully it wasn't and the cache was soon in hand. Favourite point for creativity from me. TFTC
Found with my amazing Geo-Wife KaleidoscopeCass on an early morning adventure... 4 traditionals.. 1 mystery and a ftf to add to the adventures
TFTC, very interesting one. Love the creativity. Pro tip go to the park on a raining /over cast day, there will be significantly less muggles around.
We took a trip for the day to Toowoomba for some family business, but couldn’t leave without taking time to find just the one Geocache today. This was the one we chose as it was fairly close to where we were heading. We loved the quirky container and the location.
Thanks

Visiting twmba for TCOF. Grandma had the kids at a souvenir stand and I saw this cache was 20 metres away.
I started searching at a likely GZ, assisted by some locals who were interested in what I was doing.
My phone decided GZ was the other side of the temporary fence so I said goodbye to my new friends and headed towards new GZ. By this time Asciii and Bethandcam joined me. A quick search in an obvious place revealed a very cool cache.
Earning a fav point.
Couldn't sign log as I had left my pen with Grandma. Will try and swing by in the morning before we leave twmba.

T-Tech and I participated in the Rural Safari event at Crows Nest this weekend, and our plan for today was to head south to Toowoomba and grab as many as possible of the new caches that have been published since I was last here
I wonder how many times I have been to Queens Park looking for caches?!?!?!? We had the area to ourselves and T-Tech discovered the little fellow hiding away. TFTC, soldier boys.

A very clever cache here.
I shall give you a fav pt for it.
Thanks for the cache.

Hi there soldier boys.
We wanted to attempt some more Toowoomba caches today, especially the ones we didn't manage to get to yesterday due to high muggle activity. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.
We found 8 caches today & DNF'd 1. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

It was my birthday and so StephLego came along with WillPunkey and Scoob for a scooter ride to help me find my 2000th cache. This was number 1999!
All in the name alright. He was happy to get a visitor today, but he wants to croak with happiness soon with rain across the state
Now this one was just a tad cute!! Fav from me! Tftc and the shout out to my multi in your description!
Another day and the need for another find to fill the traditional calendar in. Under 40 days to go now. This one was a quick drive by after school on my way home. Signed log and returned all back to where I found it. TFTC soldier boys
We weren’t sure if we could Kermit to finding this cache through the day, but we were able to be subtle enough! Great little find, tftc
Out for the day to attend an event at lunchtime for the Hidden Creatures souvenirs. Spending some time pedaling around on Evie to try and add to the souvenir collection. I parked at the Golf Club and set of for my hunt.
This was my first stop. It was a tad chilly this morning, which was keeping the muggles away. I was nice and early, so the market was only jut starting to set up. The bike is a great distraction for caching at times. I just parked near GZ and nobody paid me any attention at all.
Very glad of my thick warm gloves to find this one.
I watched the rescue chopper fly in and out of the hospital while I was at this one too.

We were in Toowoomba for a Lunch time event. This was one of two in Toowoomba that I wanted this trip. No time for the three in the bush. Knowing where to go parked really close. Looked in the direction of the arrow on the GPSr and followed it around the stalls there for the market. Arrived at GZ and with suitable cover and gathered up the host and made off with it to sign the log. Returned the host with container and log with my name appended to its rightful hide. Do not think any one noticed as we were very stealthy.

We were wondering what we'd find here.... we weren't disappointed.
On our way homewards this arvo we stopped at the park to get this cache. Not another soul around so it was easy to retrieve. Nice to finish our caching day on this one.
Thanks heaps soldier boys.

We were sitting on the other side of Queens Gardens enjoying the afternoon when I happened to glance at the phone and saw that a newly published cache was nearby. Well we couldn't let this one go could we? So after a walk through the park to GZ we were pleasantly surprised to find a blank log sheet.
What a nice way to finish off the day. Thanks soldier boys.

Took a bit of scratching. Was worried i'd grab a handful of centipede, but fortunately located something cachey. Nifty cache guardian. Tftc
