Hello,

It is Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog, once again hopping through your area to check on geocache maintenance.

Please remove any remaining cache components if you have not already done so. If there are questions about the archival or if you would like it to be re-considered for listing please e-mail me or your local reviewer in response to this archival, and we will help to unarchive your cache if possible.

Couple of clues removed by council so will update and re-enable once done.

Went to do this yesterday but the bin and the seat for location 6 and 7 dont exist anymore, the council has removed all the seats and bins in this are in the last couple of months so we couldnt finish the co-ordinates to find. if the clues can be changed or something else for this part of the co-ordinates would be great thanks.

Spent a great couple of hours discovering areas around Petrie that we didn't know even existed.
Got to final destination but had trouble finding cache so returned to car and looked at more logs/photos which helped us find it second time round.
Alot of effort has gone into setting this cache up well done

225 - FTF in '09. Found at 4:45pm after doing the clues and driving around the area and then a short walk for a total of about an hour today. We were in this area this time last Sunday and it is absolutely amazing to see just how much the water has risen in the last week. Today there were people fishing in metres of water where there was just grass and rocks last week. We signed the log but couldn't take a photo as the camera was full. TFTC and quiz Wabbit Hunters,

Well what a afternoon! We had a marvelous time hunting around and pre-guessing where all the next clues were!
A word to the wise however is to leave plenty of time to do this cache before nightfall - we completed it at 7:20pm with an approaching thunderstorm which turned out to be a little nasty!
We found the cache however the camera is all used up so we took our own photos and have attached them for you!
The adventure was truely amazing and complements to The Wabbit Hunters! TFTC. TNLNSL!

what a marathon, and such a hard find in the end, such a relief though. cache in good condition.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 2:30pm. It was a year ago when I first got clues for this cache but had to go back and verify just one of those today. The cache is safe and well but was a little damp inside but should be dry now. A pix was taken- ahhh. We could do with more rain. TFTC

Thanks for the great drive around our local area.

Took a bit of foraging around at GZ to find the cache. We went overland from location 7 instead of taking the easier (more sensible) route via the path.

IN: New AA batteries for anyone whose GPS is running low on juice.

OUT: TB & writing pad.

We started the hunt yesterday afternoon, got the co-ords but were beaten by nightfall. We live in the area and I had no idea the war memorial was tucked away there. Fascinating. Returned for the beautiful walk through the bush for the second time this afternoon. Geofouryearold found the cache within five minutes of starting the search. Got him trained young ! TNSL. Dropped TB. TFTC.

Searched will recheck clues to confirm co-ordinates

will have to recheck the co-ords and try again

Searched and searched to no avail. Will have to check coords and try again.

Long time between drinks at this cache. Had the co-ordinates in hand with a minimum of fuss - the cache - well, that was another matter. Mrs Lat&Long and I spent quite a bit of time looking, scratching, poking and prodding all the likely spots. Oh, I guess we were there for a half hour or so before I found the cache. It was exactly, no kidding, exactly where I walked to when we arrived and said, "Here's 0 metres. Let's start looking." Took our photo, TN/LN/SL T.F.T.C.

Well, did we spend some time looking for this one - glad I had a good poking stick with me. Found a beautiful purple coloured ground orchid - very pretty. I haven't seen one of those since my childhood on the Granite Belt. Shame the dam is so low. Maybe one day it will be full again. SL,TN,LN TFTC

Really enjoyed collecting the clues for this one. Finding the cache was a little bit tricky. We just kinda stumbled upon it out of pure luck. Nice hide.
Geopartner Mongy took a picture of himself.
TFTC!

Took the family, enjoyed the chase, but we could not find it. Pity there was no check sum to give us an idea if we had correctly found the answers to the clues.

Now that there have been some recent finds, the cache was reasonably easy to find. Took geocoin. TFTC

Found all the clues easily but just couldn't find the cache, our first ever failure. We'll be back as it's just near home.

What a lovely thought out multi, thanks for the cache

Took recorder
Left geocoin

We completed this cache in 1hr 5 mins.

1725hrs. Woohoo! At last we got this one. When we read that it had been found recently we decided to have another go at it. Had a bit of a look around and there it was. The container it was in seemed a bit worse for wear so we replaced it with a new one we had with us.

In: koala keyring, toy recorder
Out: China geocoin, lizard, and spiderman and batman stickers
TFTC

At Last ! This is one of those caches that has been within our 100Km search for so long... it has screamed at us "What about me !!??" Ever since we started but we have never managed to be in this area with enough time to have a go at it.

Today however, was to be the day - if we only achieved one find today, this was going to be it!

When we looked at the cache notes and read the detail, we decided this was going to be fairly quick and indeed, getting to GZ proved to be very quick indeed.

The cache however, did take a little coaxing out of it's hidey hole. It is one of those simple but effective hides and is easy to see how it could be missed.

The container is in pretty good shape though the plastic is a little brittle and could probably do with a maintenance visit before too long. (NOTE - As the owners haven't logged on for 6 months, perhaps the next visitor might bring a new container along and do the honours).

We swapped a lizard for a little toy and also left a china geocoin to see if we can tempt some others to come out and give it a go.

Thanks to The Wabbit Hunters for the cache.

We'll be damned if we found it! While location 2 no longer appears to exist due to redevelopment, there was still sufficient information to indicate location of cache. Was unable to find in failing light. There was evidence of muggle activity in the area. Will have to have a better look when there is more time and better light.

Found required info at the first location easily enough but had no such luck at the second location. Seems there has been some work done there recently and we are wondering if info we seek is still there? Maybe we just got it all wrong?

We found all caches but the last one (kids very disappointed).

Enjoyed the tour around this area. Had a bit of trouble at first finding cache, almost gave up. Walked away and tried again and what do you know, there it was. Should have looked harder the first time. Took a photo, hope it turns out as I was alone so had to take it myself.
Took Yo Yo.
Left Batman stickers.
Thanks

Thought I had worked out the correct co-ords but my search at GZ was unsuccessful. Will be back to check clues and co-ords another day.

We have done all the clues but at the end we couldn't find it.

Visited the first location though as i only had the coordinates and nothing else with which to go on, i didn't find the cache Anyway i really enjoyed the history lesson of this area and will attempt to complete the rest of the legs one day.

Thanks
Agsmky

Found it today, after second attempt. Right where it was supposed to be. Nice location.

Took a Bracelet, and put in a Yo-Yo

Found it after a bit of searching. Excellent cache, enjoyed it immensly. Was with Peskey Pete and Griffins 4

Took a little while to find the cache. Well hidden, but once found it was very obvious. Very well put together Multi with many parts. Thanks for the cache Wabbit Hunters

First cache for us, enjoyed the thrill of the hunt.

This was our first cache hunt ever.
Found all 7 waypoints, but couldn't find the final cache, however, since this was our first go, maybe we weren't looking right.

If we see that somebody finds it after us, then we will try again.

Great fun.

Found! Had a nice drive and revisited
many places today

Saw a couple of the biggest snakes
on the way to the final cache site.
Thankfully they were more interested
in each other than they were in me!

Thanks for the hunt

Took Lucky Duck TB for a ride

Found this one today reasonably easy, also found a way back to the car that was shorter, using the GPS. TNLN. Travel Bug still resting there. We are still quite new at this, so didn't was to disturb anything till we learn more about geocaching and TB's.

found it! nice drive around.took frog left xxxx pin, geocache card. let lucky duck tb loose to the wild for someone else to catch.

Found 12.20pm after an interesting tour of the area. Even saw a koala running up the footpath, with police in pursuit, near one of the 7 locations!. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache

We had a great time finding this one, took a picture of ourselves and left a frog but took the hook thing keyring

Liked doing the 7 locations before getting to the cache. Took photo. Left Enthalpy pen, took geeko. Lots of fun. Beautiful day. This is our first cache for the 3 Musketeers. Enjoyed it!

4:11pm - Found this one to be easy except Location 6, our GPS was a bit to the right considering we could see the seats. Were getting a few looks from the people that were fishing but we found it.

Out for a bike ride today so what better than a tour of Lawnton. At the cache location it took the better part of an hour to locate it. Persitence required to find this one or maybe luck. Thanks for the cache. Took Little Nic TB and left a carabiner.If you're on a bike look out for Mr grumpy the local ranger who despite there being no signs up saying no pushbikes still thinks they are not allowed!

Brought along Mrs Garner today after not being able to find this without her last week.

We found it after quite a bit of difficulty. The co-ordinates seemed to be pretty accurate, but we were just being a bit presumptuous about where we thought it 'should' be.

Put in Little NIC T.B.

Got to GZ but couldn't find it anywhere. GPSr very erratic though.

Will have to try another day.

Found 9.30am. Had a little trouble with Location 3. Currently the number of netball hoops doesn't divide evenly into 8. So we counted the total of poles. That worked well. Nice walk @ the end before the day was too hot.
Out: Melon Soap. In: Nice Pink Bracelet.

... The Michels Clan ...

Found this cache after a bit of searching. About 8 metres off by my GPS. Took a photo but left nothing as we didn't realise we would not return to the car before the final location.

Visited cache after llourd had trouble loacting it. Cache is still in place and in excellent condition. The Wabbit Hunters

no luck for us, we got to ground zero but after 20 mins of hunting we gave up in the heat.
oh well, maybe next time we're out this way we'll try again.

Yay for not being Damned
Found this one easily after piecing together the clues.
TNLN
Citria

A warm day for traipsing around the scrub, although this was an easy walk. Took the Little NIC travel bug but no swaps today.
Thanks for the cache.

This one must have been made for me, start and end just near home. Thanks for the great site, and the good little runabout. TNLN.

Well done
Took a picture look out scarey
Ron&Glendra

I'll be damned, first finders for this one.

We were going to place a cache based on the story behind the first location some time ago but never got around to it.

Took the travel bug but nothing else.

Thanks for the cache.
