We found the street library easily. But the reference book required has been borrowed. May need to come back again after CO has checked it back in. Will need to do the puzzle then and complete the hunt. Thanks. Street library is very well made
The reference librarian has taken the dictionary to lunch!!! Surprised to see a trad with a field puzzle and thought we’d check it out. Unfortunately it all came to nothing. Checked all books, street library page and no luck finding a field puzzle or lock. Hope it is reinstated soon.
Hey maybe we’re not good enough at puzzles haha. Will be back for this one though! But we didn’t have a clue
Found the street library, looked through all the books, took 1, left 2 of our old ones. Didn't find anything with a lock
Found with the kiddies! TFTC! Very nice presentation. We forgot to bring a pen, so we didn't sign the logbook.
In the area today to watch family sport, I was able to convince [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) in making a detour home via this geocache. We initially pulled up, and didn't see much, but walking back 10-15 m had us soon spot the local library. I didn't realise that this was a field puzzle, and so I had to research/Google the three questions in order to get a set of numbers (I felt like my responses were ambiguous with one question, so I did have to rely on the checksum to get the full combination).
Eventually, I had access inside the geocache, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. I hope that this beauty doesn’t go missing, as I don't think there is a good track record with trust and these geocache types. We originally had a book cache in Adelaide that only lasted 1-2 months and was then stolen, despite it being tethered inside. Thanks chevron_heart for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Did a google search for the field puzzle and locked in the numbers but sadly no joy. Another search insured with the same numbers coming up so tried again still no joy. A third search with the same numbers yet again but wiggled the dial a little and presto. Great cache TFTC
This cache was nice and easy to find. Then we started to search for the answers we needed to access the log which gave us a nice opportunity to check out the selection of books available as well. We didn’t manage to open it on our first attempt so rechecked our answers, and came up with the same ones. Apparently, we just hadn’t quite lined up the numbers correctly and it opened for us on this second attempt. Thanks clumsyanna
After a bit of Googling, I was able to put my name in the log. I didn't read a lot last year but I am trying to read more this year. Thanks for the fun clumsyanna
When the news describes the days weather as “extreme heat & humidity” I begin to question my desire to cache… Luckily I’d saved this cache for just such an emergency…
After enjoying lunch in Coorparoo Blkthunder and I made a detour here… The field puzzle didn’t pose an issue thanks to Apples cut & paste functionality from a picture…
We’d almost finished when the hound next door started…
Tftc…

A new cache not too far away...and in a little library at that
Swapped a book then set to work on cache details.
After a quick 'talk' to Google I was confident i had the key. Mmm, not budging. Standing in hot sun wasn't helping so I decided to recheck over a coffee.
The caffeine did its job; I knew two were right so the other had to be...
Rechecked it anyway and saw my mistake.
I drove back and of course it worked first time
Signed log and replaced as found except I couldn't get it to relock. CO notified.
Now I'm off to read a book that came from the little library.
Thanks chevron_heart.

Raced off to get this cache after work and had to stop at the supermarket on the way home but when I got out of the shop the rain was bucketing down and I got drenched.
It was a quick find at GZ and I soon had some magic numbers to help me with finding a log to sign. Signature left and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Have checked on cache after mention of the lock not locking into place. All in proper condition.
To close and lock the cache the correct code must be in place. Once you lock (by turning the knob) you should then scramble the lock. Do not scramble until you have closed the cache otherwise it will not lock into place.

Made a quick dash for this new cache.
Surprised that the lock was set to the open position, but I'll take that, left it the same.
Picked up the prize, will pass it forward on another cache.
Find number 28810 for me.
Thank you chevron_heart for hiding this geocache.

TFTC. The code was easy as it was left by previous finder. I have now shuffled up again.
We were sitting at home about to go out. I knew sometime in the next week I had to take a drive to Carina (from Rochedale) so decided now was the time in the hope of getting FTF. (We don’t usually chase them!!!).
Alas we were third here. Missed it by 14 mins!!Took a bit of working out the code but the hint helped.
Left a trackable. A FP from us. Loved it.
