Parkrun Fun! Springfield Central, Queensland, Australia
By thewizardmelon on 24-Apr-24. Waypoint GCAPRJZ

Looks like a bit of water has been through could have washed down the hill.

A day of random caching cleaning up some of my closet unfound to home caches meant a detour hereI felt guilty disturbing the bush here although it looks like its all been disturbed previouslyI havent had enough coffee so walked after about 15 minutes of fun amongst the lomandraAnother day then

25 September 2024 3:24pmDeafCat insisted this was worth a find so we headed up here. I'm glad she was here to help out otherwise we may have given up!!Really good hide.

Cool find but took a long time hidden well

Found this cache with not very many difficulties . Clever hide, I was worried I would get scratched by the many spiky bushes that had been planted around the park. TYFTC

Found it took me while finally got it

Was a good hunt

Closed

Very sneaky with the camp bag but I feel like it was actully a small bush not medium. But we both found it me and my freind and put in a quarts gem for the next people to find

I found it it was hard at first but then I dig in to a bush *-*

Bit overgrown, will return to look when bushes cleaned up

Looked for a while couldn't find anything

Tried to find our first geocache but no luck...yet

Really fun find

Loved finding this one.

I was driving past after putting my puzzle cache back in place, and figured I'd nip in for a look around. I wasn't prepared for the length of time it took to track down the container though... I checked where my gadget was suggesting GZ was, then navigated to TeamTindas alternate coords. No cache found in either. Hmm... I scrolled through the logs and saw Crew153's DNF, then mistakenly thought the next find was also his, so I made a mercy call. Not me he responded, the last find was someone with only one find... Oh, that's comforting I thought... As I was chatting with Crew153, I checked one area to no avail, them mosied into another spot and spied something that wasn't quite right. Closer inspection, cache in hand. Aha... I added my name to the log, tucked the cache back as found, I have no idea if it's the original GZ but it went back there to be safe.Not too far off TeamTindas coords as it turned out. Cheers thewizardmelon.

I was sitting quietly at home when I received a PAF call from Gunnie about this cache. He mistakenly thought that I had found it after my DNF. I told him my theory about where I thought it should have been and then he announced that he had located it. And that blew my theory.Well, I couldn't just sit here and dream about this cache so I hit the road and found myself in a familiar spot. Gunnie had given me directions and it still took me a few minutes before I looked down and found I was standing beside the cache.It is always a good feeling to avenge a DNF.TFTC thewizardmelon

Ok

Searched around for quite a while without spotting anything at either the posted coordinates or the alternate ones.

Walking past today, I couldnt see the cache where I found it. I suspect it has crept around a little.

Possibly the cleanest cache Ive found yet! Tftc

Been looking for an hour

Couldn't find this one today.

No luck

This afternoon, the Warren clan consisting of [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), baby Cottontail, Mopsy and I headed south to Springfield for a friends birthday catchup, and we detoured past this geocache that was nearby. Ive ran the local parkrun in question, and it was a lovely route through the parklands, and in fact the one time that we attended that, we held a geocaching event to invite others to the area.We parked in a free spot on the other side of the MG bridge, and headed to GZ, although I initially misinterpreted access, and took the long way down to the ground level, across the river, and then headed back up to the area with patches of lomandra. At least it was a better/direct route back to the car. This geocache took some time to find, and I was primarily using Teamtindas coordinates and searching the odd bush, but when that failed to turn up anything despite multiple searches, I PAF-d to a previous finder and started to search the large cluster. This eventually yielded the find, and the hide is more luck than logical. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. The current coordinates arent too bad, and perhaps between posted coordinates and Teamtinda coordinates. Thanks thewizardmelon for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/[jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) stamp.

Was ready to give up but finally spied the very cleverly disguised cache! TFTC

Thank you! Very interesting with the camo package!

Difficult to find with the camo bag but I enjoyed this one

Unfortunately no success for us today. Looked in big medium, medium medium and small medium bushes. Got beat with this one today.

Tftc. I retrieved the trackable and will help it home.

After doing a walk with Brissy Cat, she was needing to do a quick shop so suggested that I find the caches in the park before meeting up again. With a number of options for hiding, I used Teamtindas coordinates and quickly found the camoed cache. Luckily no one about so I took a seat to sign, then replaced as found. Its an impressive bridge and very nice park - my first time here. Tftc

Very clever cache. First official named geocache found by us.

Took is a little while but was satisfying to finally find it.Added a trackable!Tftc

Nice hide. Thanks for the smiley.

Nice 'camo'. Quick find. Thanks for the cache and

quick nice find! tftc

It was a lil hard

It was a bit rainy today and I had a lot of things to catch up on but I was still keen to find a few caches. I decided to go for a drive and pick up a few of the new caches close to me.It was easy to find a close carpark today so it was a short walk to GZ. Then I began searching all the bushes. The rain actually helped me a bit because the cache camo didnt shine like the lomandra leaves did when the sun came out and thats how I found it.Thanks for the cache wizardmelon!

We checked the medium bush and the little bush and the no so little bush before finding it in the larger than medium bush. Thanks for the cache thewizardmelon

We spent about 10 mins looking with the kids. Unfortunately that's all the focus they had in them. Maybe next time.

Published

*FTF* around 12.15pm.I suggest:S27 40.992 E152 54.237I suddenly noticed this cache had been published, less than 2km from work, so dropped everything and started running. I know this area pretty well, though I havent done a Parkrun here.Arriving at GZ, there seemed little option but to start bashing lomandra bushes, hoping something would turn up.Moving a little further in, I was pleased to spot the cache in a secure enough position, though of course lomandra is by nature spiky and therefore needs to be approached with caution.TFTC, FTF coin and TB, which I have started on its way. I humbly suggest the coords above may help others.
