The cache was nowhere to be seen. MIA

The wall is now in a state of disrepair ie nowhere suitable to stash a cache.

reports that the cache maybe MIA

Disabling until I can check out the situation

We had a similar experience to thefourbees - also had a run of 3 DNF's to get us started today! We will watch to see if others can find this one and return.

We did have a fun day out though - the rain just added to the excitement - especially for the kids!

I had the place to myself but wasn't unable to locate cache. I moved every rock (I think) & all I found was worms. There was one rock missing about 1 m from the southern end that would have covered what looks like a perfect spot for a small container. Alas 1st of 3 DNF Wingaap caches this morning.

Got it! fairly easy to spot (if you know what you're looking for)Thanks again Wingaap

last one for today

Nice quick find at 1700hrs but had to wait for a dawdling muggle to leave the area.

Found on our 24 hour Caching run around Brisbane and the outer suburbs.
Visiting from South Aust for the weekend.

This one did not take the geocaching madmen very long to find. Number 24 find of Wingers caches. Thanks to the Wonderful Wingers.

Found during our big 24 hr cache assault in Brisbane

Thanks for the cache

Second one for the day while exploring Brisi with my MTB.

Cache 15 of 40 on a big day of caching with Kholometers. Took longer to find than expected but we got there in the end! TNLN, TFTC.

Cache 15 of 40 on a big day of caching with Strong Arm TNLN TFTC

Finally a cache of this type that we find. Find #12 on a family day of geocaching. Found at 9.39am by mastamak.

Got lucky on this one and found it in the first placed we looked.

Found today by the Downey clan together with the Barton's.
The cache looks to have encountered the recent heavy rains but survived just fine.
Found while visiting the rellies at the nearby Caravan Park.

I wasn't quite sure what the initials stood for or the history of the cache, but I was enlightened by my tour guide! I had to cower under the bridge while the rain poured and tried to identify where it may be hidden. I raced out hoping for a quick snaffle but chose the wrong spot. Then when the cache was finally located I found something big and scary sitting on it. I got very wet trying to extract the cache without using my fingers, damn spiders!

Thanks Wingaap,

R - B

Camped in the nearby caravan park I couldn't believe I had a 'walk to' cache. Ha ha ha! No signal under the bridge, so I walked out and put my foot up on the little rock wall to get a signal. Oh that's what you mean by 'blue metal', and I was looking for the colour. Almost trod on the little bugger which had popped its lid and needs a new log book real soon. TFTC TNLN

After having a montie break it was off to do a few more,we decided to visit the caravan park and sneak in.no trolls tonight.

thanks wingers

Quick find in the evening, no ants or painters in the area, however a rather strange individual, plastic bag in hand, was searching the adjacent area for something, aluminium cans maybe?

TNLN TFTC

Easy find after I knew where to look
It needs some attentions since it was filled with ants.

Quick find on the way home. A good hide TFTC TNLNSL

Took me a while to find this cache as I initially missed the fact that there were two spots that fitted the description. There was a muggle wading through the stream and I had turned back on finding him and concentrated on the first spot. It turned out that he was an organiser for the reforestation that has occurred along the creek over the last 20 years, and I ended up having a very interesting talk with him. After my conversation I decided to have one last check of the area from the top of the bridge and spotted the 2nd area. It was an easy find after that. TFTC.

A nice find en route to the great bakery just up the road. Our second trip here - I managed to miss the wall first time for some reason. Took the TB and tried to leave a bottle opener, but alas I couldn't fit it in.

Wow, you like these walls and caches in Brizzie. The cache was located. Eventually. Even found space for a bug.

Got it. This was an easy one but we weren't expecting the surprise snake that was on the rock wall waiting for us. He was very curious about us too.. he finally moved on though and
my eldest son walked straight up to the cache and we were gone in a flash.

Ok, the wall hint confused me completely. This is why I gave up a few weeks ago. Pointed torch at the only wall available, and the cache reflected back. Lucky this time! TFTC

Latched onto the wall clue forgetting to look at the GPSr so first rock removal was at the wrong wall!!! Oops, yeah, we're still a bit away from GZ... past the spray painters' paradise and beelined to the most removable looking rock before I fell over from exhaustion from our caching day (sick as a dog too!) Gotta go home and go to sleep now... [|)]

A nice easy find and NO HILLS [xx(] to end our day. TFTC

My poor sister was yawning away when we arrived at this one, so made it the last for the day. The first rock I moved wasn't intended to be moved (oops! ) but I managed to reinsert it before the wall fell down completely. The cache was found, signed and replaced between muggles - perfect timing! TFTC. ='.'=

piece of cake, er rock.

Here with Moneydork

Found this one straght away - GPS co-ords bang on. TFTC.

yet another quick find GPS bang on.

Many thanks bitsprayer

I was rather nervous when I read the description for this... – Having recently failed on ‘the Wall’, however there was a sigh of relief once at GZ, when I noticed the scale to be considerably less. – Found quickly, TNLN, thanks wingaap.

I nearly gave this one a miss when I read it was another wall. Glad I didn't. It was a piece of cake. Seems once in a while I can walk up and just say, "there it is" and it is. TN/LN/SL. That caravan park was a surprise. I wonder how long before the developers erase it. By the way, why is the cache called Y.A.W.N.? Sleeping in the ’van park or - oh I get it. Yet Another Wall Niche.

Found after big brissy brekky. Thanks - clever.

*Overall Experience: 4* < this is a GCA thing.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found easily after enjoying great company at the Big Brizzie Brekky Event. Didn't realise there was a caravan park just here. It seems a nice little area and there was a breeze to cool us off. TFTC

Found @ 6:34

Calloo Callay, I'm not going home with a duck today. Found without too much trouble for a change. Thanks wingaap.

Rated: for Overall Experience

This was my first cache attempt for the night, and a successful one too. I was expecting a different wall, but my GPS led me to the right one. The thing I saw looked out of place, and sure enough, there was the cache. I didn't make a trade.

I replaced the cache as I had found it, but it still didn't look right, so I gave it another go, and it now looks better. Thanks for the cache and a successful start to the night.

A relatively easy find considering some of my other DNF's on this weekend.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

This one popped up on the GPS as I drove by. I did not have the cache note or my PDA with me so I was going in "blind".

GPS eventually put me on GZ. Looked in the usual Wingaap places, looked in non Wingaap places, Rang one of the geo-friends onbly to find it has not been found by them (one of the few)...

While I was on the phone I noticed something that did not seem quite right, sure enough, that was it.

Now this is the kind of wall I like, low and small. Found easily. Great spot this, used to walk along here. TFTC.

2nd try on this one. Partner found this one right on dusk. 10th find for the day. Nice and quiet.. no-one about at all. TNLN SL.

Found this one easily however there were a few muggles about.

TNLN

Find 14/23 today

Got lucky and found it straight away. Thanks, A&C

Find number 1 for the day, isn't it funny how some caches you just find by instinct? GPS was out but I went staright to it anyway. Took a coin, left dogtags, SL.

#3 for our third day in Brisbane. Found easily, TNLN SL TFTC.

Found on second try. Took chainsaw guy, left wire flower.

150 caches!
My log is similar to ADAcache, as I spent more time removing the cache than actually finding and locating it.
Thanks again wingaap

This cache was find number 35 of 102 finds I did with Dtay for our record attempt on Saturday 18 November 2006.
We were here at 08:12 hours.

A quick find and a convenient place to sit and record our visit.

TFTC

This cache was find number 35 of 102 finds today with Rogainer as part our record attempt.

Found at 08:12 hours. A straight forward find after walking through the subway

TFTC

A quick find with no-one around. Cheers!

With reference to Passions' log.....it does state quite clearly in the descriptor "Probably best to avoid this one at night". The choice is yours.

i think sum home less guy lives under that brige it has freeking me out it was like 10 pm at night and its like dark down there put i found it and thats the main thing

Y.A.W.N. – Found at 1:51am after fuelling up at nearby servo. Easy find, found by number 2 daughter. Number 1 was already asleep in the back of the car. They were going to assist in shifts. Quick in and out. Good one after the previous DNF, just a bit worried about the time.

TFTC

Cheers

Popped across the road from "Reading Light" to snare this one. TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 10:30am approx on Election Day. Over in this area so had my 3rd try at this one and got it this time but this time I used some common sense and it worked. Have you noticed that common sense is not very common? Cache is obviously well hidden, and I would think, pretty safe. TNLNSL.

Cache Condition: Dry and Well Sealed
Note: Adacache and I drove from the Briz Blitz lunch meeting location, found a centralized parking location for his car and continued today’s caching run with Suzzie’s car. Sight of the day was Darren squeezed into the passenger seat swamped by technology … laptops, GPS’s and cables galore!!! It really did produce some belly laughs. After sorting out the spaghetti we were on our way. This one was the 1st cache we hit this afternoon. What a neat hide! We found this one soon after arriving and then we were back on the road once more.

Happy Hunting!

Nice quick find, but more time was spent removing the cache than finding and logging.

Second of fifty cache finds for the day, on my fly in fly out visit. Another rock cache my favorite, I found the cache at 10:05. I spotted my first bush turkey for the day and wondered if they were edible. Thanks Wingaap for the cache.

A nice easy find had a little trouble extracting it but as they say persistance pays off. TFTC.

Previous log said they couldnt find the Y.A.W.N. Cache. and feared it may have gone missing
I walked down to check if it was still there.
Yes it is still there.

Could not find it. I see that it was found about 6 days ago but we looked everywhere. There is lots of evidence that the Spraypaint set have been around.
Is it possible for you to check it and advise me as to whether it is still there or not? We looked carefully at all the stone walls and tried to move many of them. Regards, Sunshine Toledo.

Good opportunity to check out the caravan park near the cache. Looked like a good place to stay. Found the cache easily. Thanks guys.

Google earth does it again!
Only a couple minutes walk from home we found YAWN very quickly. A great little hide
Took a wire flower and replaced with small plastic lizard.
Inspired, we decided to go for the trifecta - without success - 'Rock on Corbie Park and 'Off the Track' were just a little to challanging for "Google only - I guess a GPS unit would have done the trick.
PS- The majority of th graffiti has recently been removed.

9th find today at 3.35 .The 8 year geokid (Freaky Geeky)beat us to this one .Took tiny tiger spinny thing (for what ,I dont know)and left a $1 coin.Great deal wasnt it .

This was a neat little find at the end of the day and with no one around it was so much easier. TFTC Wingaap

Start of the 43 cache day with CREW 153. Easy to start!

6.45 am. After breakfast at the big arch up the road the assault on the Qld record was started with this one by Team Dive DiveDive (Deco and Crew 153).

An easy find was a good sign for the day.

1550 hrs. Nice quick one. TNLN. Thanks.

Fun to find

Easy find. Signed log and moved on. TFTC.

Found with The 4 Runners

Found with help from The 4 Runners

Found with help. Watch out for the camping muggles

Had Geohund but was of little use even though it was at his nose height. Great little cache. Left shell. TFTC^^

Lat for the day in failing light. Muggles about, but they were more worried about a pedestrian cyclist collision then what we were doing. They sure like to ring their bells.

TFTC

nice easy find - thanks

nice little hide thank you found it with no probs

Another clever little hide from Wingy. Sat right on top of it to have a drink and presto. Lots of muggles but given the cache placement they present little trouble.

ruzzelz 0745

Our 100th find and 8th for the day. Dodged muggles and in fact one wanted to stay with carton of beer and make mobile phone calls. He eventually left enabling us to replace the cache.

Found by caughtatwork at 6:35
We drove past this cache and had to do a U turn to find carparking (whoops).
Nevertheless, making our way past the plethora of spiders in webs this evening, we found the general location in seconds. As I was coming up the rear, Uncle Gary proudly announced that the cache was 'there' and indeed there it was. He's getting right into the mindset of caching adventures here in Queensland.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks wingaap. A cunning cache concealment that could of had us there for a while expect that the eagle eyed Uncle Gary outdid us all this balmy evening.

Twenty-second of 24 finds for the afternoon. Geez, I hate 'em in rocks! However, I was able to reveal the cache under the first rock I tried. When I read the meaning of the cache name in the description I nearly gave it up without visiting (visions of the other wall swam before my eyes, and I haven't even seen the other wall!). It took a bit of stuffing around before I realised that I couldn't park all that close to the cache. Once I got that sorted out, it was a straightforward find t 1810. No exchange made. Thanks to wingaap for the cache.

Quick find on early Sunday morning.

Found this one quickly no muggles around. Thanks for the cache, Andrew and Maryan.

Found ok

The easy part was finding the cache - the hard part was putting it back - when i removed the cache i unwittingly upset a nest of VERY angry ants... took about 5 minutes to get it back in place !!!

TNLN @ 1220

A nice quick find except for the dirty big ants but don’t worry apparently I was tastier than the cache.
Found: 10:55

Cheers,
Brummy

So many rocks to choose from, but I took heart in the fact that even a small child could lift it. A very neatly placed cache.

Found this cache on sunset though the lack of a cache descirption made it hard for me to find at first until the old grey matter kicked in with ideas.

Thanks for the cache.

Last one of 6 caches found today, we got it just as the Thunder Storm hit which was lucky.
Nice hide

0134hrs No problems finding this micro cache. Was told by the Witch that this was the last one for the night even when there was one within 380 metres.

Edit by Witch: Was told by the Pig I would be home by 1am....

[This entry was edited by WitchPig on Tuesday, December 13, 2005 at 5:30:45 PM.]

Well I found the wall no problems, but where to start looking I thought!! It is just soooo long and high [:0]. It could be hidden anywhere. I must have been lucky though and fluked looking in the right spot straight away !! Seriously though this was a fun little cache, thanks Wingaap.

Found 11.40 after enjoying early lunch from nearby bakery. Thanks for the cache

Found at 11.41am in company with my geomum. Nice quite spot so close to a busy intersection. TFTC.

Found it tonight on the way home with no problems. No muggles hanging about at this time of night.

Nice easy find on a nice pleasant day.
