Somewhere in there? Which there! I was everywhere!
The access path I took to this cache was guarded by a dog on either side (who both started barking at me as loud as they could) and much to my surprise, a goat. I've heard of guard dogs, but a guard goat? I could hear it bleating still when I was at GZ occasionally.
I had a pretty good idea of where GZ was but I could not find the cache. If the debris lines on the fences near by are any indication and the cache was where I think it was then it could have washed away!
I found a blue tennis ball (always lots of interesting things in flood refuse - like a pool cleaner pole and net!) so if you have lost it I have it

Tip toed through the mud and water to GZ and found flood debris some 2 metres up the surrounding bushes. Found a great place for a cache, but nothing in it. If this one survived the last great inundation, it's too good for me. Well, off to the watchlist with you .
No muggles today so we had the chance to have a good look around. Scratched around near GZ before stopping to think where I would hide a cache there. Headed to the most likely spot and there it was! Retrieval was a little tricky though. TFTC
Let the grandkids run off some of their energy as DisSister and I looked for the cache. She came up trumps and we were soon on our way again. TFTC
212 - Found this one at 3:57pm today - our third attempt due to a cache that was MIA and muggles in the vacinity on previous visits. A nice hide. There was a fishing net and a bucket found in very close proximity to the cache - looks like they were hidden so there is a chance the owner will return. We crossed the river after doing Heart of Mungarra - found a track through there and the water was only shin deep today. TFTC Ruzzelz.
Tried to find it again this afternoon but we couldn't see any sign of it. Like some other caches in this area, there is evidence of lots of water having moved through the cache zone, but no cache in sight. We had a fairly good look, but there were some muggles playing in the river a fair distance from where we were looking, so we had to be careful.
More of a "Did Not Search" than a did not find I could not believe that muggles were hanging around about 10-15m from the cache. I turned around before even searching for the cache so as not to draw attention to it. No doubt they thought me a tad strange being out there for no reason!
[Was going away for easter but had car problems so decided to do some caching with the family took about 30mins to find. good spot, shame about the mossies,] droped 2007 evil micro GC. Pickedup kewi GC
[Yes a Russellbande coin was in there but i did not get the number I am only new and forget these things will return tomorrow and check number

Can anybody check if my "CyberLacrus' Russellbande Coin" is still in the cache or missing, please?

A rather strange place to find our way into but we managed and found the cache without difficulty. TFTC

Went heads up into the bushes, nearly to end up in the water, geo daughter thought that was funny, I didn't!! Found it though and took old maid card game and left bracelet.
Lots of small ant hills in this area. What a nice quiet spot. Good to see some more reveg happening in the riparian area of this park. TFTC Russelz. ... eatmorchickin and stigglepot taking ma and pa kettle for a sunday drive.
Found with slowdad. If I didn't geocache I would never have found this park. What a beautiful spot. Thanks ruzzelz for a nice hide. Took TB and left something but can't remember what. TFTC
Did this one with the psychodaughter on a round about trip to the supermarket. TNLN TFTC
Geofouryearold plucked this one out. Nice spot. Dropped a TB. Swapped a dude for a dolphin charm. TFTC.
A fairly easy find in a well maintained parkland area. The grass is nice and green. SL and rehid the container a little better. TFTH. TNLN.
Great spot to have a wander on a beautiful Sunday. Lucky enough to have the place to ourselves as well. TFTH
Meekster67 & Geoson Found this one on a massive Geo caching day. Took nothing, left Battle Rhino figure.

I had to make a detour in the park, but it was no big deal and the cache was found 'in there' shortly afterwards.
Thanks ruzzelz for showing me another pleasant spot.

Nice easy find today, once again cache was well exposed, re hid and covered well.TNLN
How has this cache survived for so long?!? It was completely exposed when I approached, with a muggle couple playing with their two dogs at GZ, throwing a ball into the creek and getting the dogs to fetch. I was able to grab the container without being seen, but didn't dare replace as the muggles were about 10m away. Took cache with me, and replaced a couple of hours later. TFTC
A hot sweaty day so we paddled downstream from Young's Xing Road. And were rewarded handsomely. A very easy find as it wea rather exposed, but we hid it a little better. No swaps today, bur TFTC and on downstreaam to Paddle the Pine

Took a friendly Strathpine family along to help us find this one. They found a spot they had not been to. Thanks for the hunt. T Rubics Cube L origami
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 10:00am. This was my 2nd look for this cache and it wasn't there on the 1st visit but it was visible from 20 metres away this time so I tried to hide it a bit better when I left. TNLNSL TFTC
Councl man was planting trees so we drove up to the wodden bridge and walked the rest nice easy find.
Parked the car - Somewhere in there, is Somewhere in There we said!!!!!
Interesting "path" in. Found easily, but had to write in log and dash out - Mozzies!
A Quaint little location, how odd!

Somewhere in there alright!!
Traipsing down between 2 ppls properties, it felt like we were intruding on something we shouldn't be privy to. We get down past the stunning decidious tree we couldn't name and stumble into a whole new world!! It certainly did not feel like the back of suburbia!! It felt like someone elses happy place, except for the swarm of mozzies that jolted us out of our surreal wanderings.

Parked at the closest parking spot, and walked in to the GZ. A pretty easy find. Signed the log book, but unfortunately, it was only then I realised I was being observed. Some boys were having a bit of a camp in the scrub, and may have seen my activity. I think I may have had them a little worried, cause they followed me part of the way back to the road. Found at 0950, 2nd for the day, and 40th for the trip. This find is also my 300th GC.com cache find. I hope it is still there.

Found 1545 and was the 3rd and last one found for the day. Found in company with Brian the explorer & Traveling Trav (Sons) Went on to try Dammed if you do but had to stop to go home before we actually found it.
GPS took us to a small tree, looked everywhere in that tree up and down and also some nearby likely locations in case the waypoints were out. Unfortunately came up empty. Will watch this one for updated status in the future.
DNF today. The park seems to be cleaned up and where we thought GZ should be has been cleaned up too so there is nowhere to hide a cache.
Another great location. We stopped by to grab this one while we were in the area. Took magnet, left glitter. Thanks Ruzzelz!
Easy find, after driving around half of Lawnton! Didn't even know that park existed. Took pliers and pokemon cards for geo-kid. Left Wallabies tatoos and key ring-torch
A quick little late night stroll and a nice easy find. We had no swaps that would fit this cache so we made no exchange.
Easy find..... was my friend Dwayne's first cache. Didn't tke anything, left marbles and clips
3.30pm. Upset that not more of the migthy Pine can't be seen from here. TNSL. Thanks...
An out of the way place. Was a bit of a smell as I walked near the creek. Located straight away.
12/06/06 15:10 - First cache found for Gypsy & Hoover. Really nice place hidden away.
Geo-dog Hoover enjoyed the open area to run around.
Took lizard - Left pineapple eraser - SL.
Thanks to Datto in SA who introducted us to geo-caching!

I just love big open grass areas so this place put me right at ease.
On our way down to the cache area some sheep in a nearby yard greeted us by rushing over to the fence like puppy dugs & bleating for us to come over. Of course as soon as we got near them they fled - stupid sheep.
Going over to the sheep then meant that there was a creek between us and the creek but of course it was easy to get around. The cache location was easy to find & it was quickly extracted from its hidey spot.
We TNLN, but thanks for a nice peaceful walk!

Found @ 13.15pm. Easy find once at the GZ. Challenge was to park as close as possible to GZ.
IN; Toy lizard
OUT; B2 (bananas in pyjamas)

Indeed special thanks should go to the students of LSS ...they've done a great job planting tree here
Dont know about attempting this one by water. It'll be interesting to read the logs should someone attempt it.
Nice easy find. The cache is in good condition.
For the next person to visit the spot ...be aware that someone left a swap that wouldnt fit into the cache container. You'll find it sitting atop the cache.
Thanks Ruzzelz....yet another area I didnt know existed

Easy to find cache. Harder to find Park.
Not too hard though.

Nice spot. Got some wet feet when crossing the river from the other side - luckily it was low tide. Thanks!
Hmmm, glad I ignored the suggestion that this maybe possible by kayak Being a keen kayaker I was tempted.
Arrived by pushbike instead and after a look around was glad I had. If anyone wants to do this by boat it is definitely possible, but you had better like MUD [:o]
Please email me if you are doing this one by boat so I can record the antics of your arrival and trying to get ashore
This is an amazingly secret little park in a very quiet area. Nice little cache too. Took a keyring and left a keyring. Cheers If.

Great location - beautiful secluded park with clear access and easy walk all the way to the cache.
Took the keyring and left Banana in Pajama B2.
It's a small container (slightly larger than an audio cassette) so I'd suggest small item.
Thanks for this cache.
