Time to say farewell to this one. I had a look for it last month & couldn't find it but since there had been a couple of recent finds, I thought maybe it would turn up. Now with more DNFs & reviewer disable, it's time to go. So after 3yrs & 7mths, 176 Finds & 30 DNFs, it's goodbye.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to visit.

G'day spiderwebbs4,

This geocache appears to be in need of owner maintenance. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the geocache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the geocache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date.

After being here three times before, we have finally returned to avenge our previous D N F. We headed out to find this cache after visiting a family member at the hospital nearby.

Moving on from Mayflower 5this was the next stop for Patrol14 and I… while Patrol14 took a PAF call from Calamvale and went in search of the cache, I made sure none of the training Dolphins on the other side of the road took any notice of us by studying them with some intensity… it was totally necessary for the finding of the cache…

Tftc…

Out with Peppa for a play day caching in the area, we are collecting caches for a Challenge or three.
As we arrived near GZ, I had a PAF call and then went in search of the cache while Peppa was occupied with the happenings over the other side of the road. Luckily I spied the bit of colour of the hide instead of venturing into the undergrowth to search. SL then returned as found.

Had to lure Peppa away from the fence before he got accused of loitering.... (Dolphins training)

Find #2384 at 19:24.

Cache was sitting completely in the open, I almost stood on it. Hid it back in a likely location. Will send the CO a photo of where I put it in case I guessed wrong.

Thanks for the cache, spiderwebbs4.

After this morning’s Australia day event, I mentioned I was heading off to do a few caches in the area and clean up was I had left behind. Our assault on these caches today was Esmiley, Willis007, Bella (geopup) Charli and I. We stopped at a trail of caches, some were previous finds and some were new finds. It was a fun day in the rain and with some big laughs as always with Willis007and Esmiley.

Working our way around Newport and a stop for drinks we can across a variety of caches. Some were easy finds some we replaced for the owner, knowing they would be very grateful for the maintenance run we did. With logs signed and caches replaced as found, we continued on with our list for the day. Thanks to all the CO’s of these caches.

The hint helped with this one.

The last time I came looking for this one, there were some Council Muggles working in the park which made hunting in the park impractical.
I decided to have another try today while my Geowagon was having some new tyres fitted.

Success!
Cache is is good condition.

Today, I started out with a visit to Tinchi Tamba wetlands, with the main objective of following a Wherigo waypoint, but it was also a good excuse to grab a new challenge cache.
After repositioning my vehicle, I headed out by bike along the Deagon Deviation Bikeway to grab a number of *Monster Lane* series geocaches, riding from Brighton Park to Bracken Ridge Road. It was then an opportunity to grab litter at the Brighton Park CITO event.
I closed out the day by driving around Newport as per the *Newport Canal* series. Unfortunately, the rain arrived in patches as I spent a few hours doing this series, in which I ended up opting for my Jeep over my planned bike ride around.

It took me about two hours in driving around the *Newport Canal* series with a sprinkle of other geocaches in between. There are some great houses and waterways around here, and it was nice to stop off at the small parks/reserves that adjoined the canals and not feel too guilty.
It had just completely drenched before I arrived here, and the ground was still rather soggy. I managed to walk around the coordinates in a few areas, before eventually spotting the sneaky cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I went to find this one today while my car was being worked on nearby.
Unfortunately, when I got near GZ, there were some Council Muggles working in the park which made stealth impossible.
So I shall leave this one for another time.
