Cache has indeed been muggled, will not be replacing. Thanks everyone who had the chance to find!
After a string of DNFs we thought to look anyway but sadly this one might be missing. Happy to be proved wrong, will the CO please check.
No luck here today and loked in every conceivable spot. Needs checkin' by the CO.
Decided it was time for a coffee so we stopped here. Had a look for the cache also, searching high and low but given the hint, mostly high. No luck today, but a nice little park to stop for a break. TFTC anyway, paulkelly92.
Found after a bit of searching. Might need a bit of maintenance. Thank you for bringing us here
TFTC Found with Unvoicedharp945 and SirLollipop11.
Unvoicedharp945 had to reach it because I am a shorty.

Took a while, as we are short. Used picnic chairs for extra height. Loved this park, beautiful spot. Not a quick find for us....but tftc.
On a day trip in the area and I was on a roll clearing off all the caches. this was the next on the list and a quick find.

With not a soul here we had plenty of time to look for the cache. I am fortunate that hubby is a tallish person and he soon had the cache. SL TFTC
We love this area. After a pleasant drive we decided to stop here for lunch.
There were two workers enjoying their break as well. Two tables, so plenty of room. I tried for 'inconspicuous' as i glanced around while eating but saw nothing even resembling a cache. So I put it aside and just enjoyed our fellow travellers interesting tales of camping and fishing.
All too soon lunch was over and luckily for us our 'new' friends left first, leaving us time to investigate at our leisure
Cache was soon discovered and our name added to log before replacing.

Thanks for this one. All is good here.One of the local dogs wanted to play fetch while I was doing the log
This is a lively quiet place and I do see how the kids, both young and old, could spend an afternoon here quite happily. Despite my living in a house full of tall ones, this cache has taught me I am indeed of average height. I didn’t event need the conveniently located high adjuster. Thanks!
After a little 4 wheeling driving near by thought we may as well stop in. Thanks for an easy find thankfully had my tall partner with me or it would have made for a more challenging one! All is well here on New Years Day!
With spiderman68 just as well if I was by myself as I would never had found it I am too short
Heading west to Toowoomba and making a few stops to stretch the legs along the way.

# 2183 - Visiting Mulgowie for the weekend with the BSWs. Managed to grab a few while here.
Quick find. TFTC

3rd find on our caching day out with Mud_nut. This one made us look a bit. Pretty sure we were on the right track thanks to the hint and other log entries, but just couldn't see it Thanx to the taller one in the group for this find in the end TFTC
Day trip out and about with __xplorers3. Cache number 3 found and signed. Was worried this one was going to be a DNF. Read the previous hints and still no luck. Then along comes Geoteen with long legs and a fresh pair of eyes! Took all of 2 mins to stretch up and grab the cache. Nice and quiet here today so no need to be stealth. TFTC!
Found this but to many muggles to write in the log thanks for this with the TheOrmos
Found but not logged as they were some muggle teenagers at GZ talking at the tables. We let the kids play and as we spotted the cache without drawing attention to it. TFTC.
Not such a quick find. It was getting dark, but I would have likely spotted this quicker earlier in the day. Eager to get back out of the rain, I signed the log and was on my way.

Out for a Friday road trip with PirateLinda and this was the next place to stop... it still surprises me where I am willing to put my hands in search of a cache...
Tftc... enjoying our visit to Grandchester today...

Eventually I spotted this cache at a Terrain 2 location because the cache was placed by a tall male. I’m definitely of average height for a female who is not descended from Amazon warrior women and needed to stand on picnic furniture to grab this cache.
That’s it for today as need to get into Gatton for a secret mission. Can smell the hot ️ and from here. AND the petrol light is on

Woohoo we’re going for a drive And it’s Blue Switch Day too!
We headed to Grandchester... only 26 kms away (easily within our 50km limit the Govt has set).
And there’s a cache here too. Nicely placed and not to hard to get either.
So good to be out and about playing this fab game again.
Thanks paulkelly92.

I have a few dates in February to top up on my 'My Finds' calendar and this is the first date.
I have a hide hidden the same way so it did not take too long to find this one.
Thanks for the cache.

Once again a Sunday afternoon was the perfect timing here.
And again I got lucky by starting the hunt in the perfect place.

I parked the geomobile and headed to GZ. No one around today. Naturally, the cache was in the last place I looked. With my name added to the logbook, I was soon on my way again. TFTC
I will check in on this cache on Wednesday due to the recent DNF. As will be the case with my other caches, if this has been muggled it will not be replaced.
Newbie here...really had no idea what to look for. Would love to try again- any more tips?

Found @10.20am
We had been procrastinating about heading over for a look at this cache since it was published but things got in the way & it wasn't until this morning that we had some free time.
Any time is a good time to get away from the city chaos so we grabbed Winter the Geo-Cat & a bottle of water & headed south-west.
The drive was uneventful & we soon found ourselves parked near GZ.
It certainly is hot & dry out this way.
Winter the Geo-Cat jumped out of the Geo-Beast for a nice roll in the dirt as I stood guard & Mrs VC began her search.
I turned to see 3 muggle women, with several kids in tow, heading towards us.
As it turned out they were actually heading towards their vehicles which were parked beside the Geo-Beast.
4 cars ... I think that's a crowd for here?
Winter the Geo-Cat jumped up into the Geo-Beast, her 'safe zone' when muggles approach, & we said hi & (as they all decided to take a seat close to where we had hoped to search) launched into a muggle friendly spiel on Geocaching which had them all hooked. LOL ...
Shortly after the muggles went their way & Mrs VC made a quick find.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
