Scout Around Boondall, Queensland, Australia
By The Garner Family on 03-Jun-06. Waypoint GCWCQ8

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Dropped in with SVN07 and Gunnie69 & Baroki Scout, and the cache seems to be gone..... certainly not in the spot when I last found it.

Doesn't sound like cache has survived.

Did not get this one.
Found the spot and the impression of where it should have been.

A great one for the Geowife to introduce her extended family to caching. An easy find and a nice quiet spot. Took voucher (out of date) and dinosaur and left bouncy ball and yoyo TFTC

Nice hide and very good area and nice park with geo friend!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice find in kids frendly park
Our 1st of 4 for the day

Quick find. TFTC.

Thanks GarnerFamily for showing me this pleasant spot.

woooooooohoooooo
first cache

i remember the house up the road from when we first moved into the area 20 years ago. it was pink then. my daughter used to love riding past the big pink castle

First proper cache after a few cnf... was very excited when i found this one!
lots of cockatoos which was a nice change from magpies
tftc

quick find , what about the house up the road

easy find ...
tftc

I too, had the urge to photograph the nearby monstrosity .
In contrast, GZ was a very pleasant location.

Quick find on a Friday arvo. TN/LN/SL and sat for a while watching the antics of a large flock of white cockatoos [^]. On the way out, I took a photo of "that" house 'jabes7' photographed last January. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's an impressive piece of work, but it does look a bit out of place.

Nice easy cache to finish up the day! TFTC TNLNSL

16:00
Nice easy find on a wet afternoon. Allowed me to reconnect with my inner scout, amazed at the places to hide during widegames for these scouts.
TNLN. TFTC.

Nice and easy one for a change. TFTC

Nice day to find caches and this was a good one to start on TFTC

Found this one nice and easy. Nice park. TFTC TNLNSL.

Found this one nice and easy. Nice park. TFTC TNLNSL.

Love that house. It was worth coming all this way to find the cache. Cute park too.

Easy find today. Left the Travel SLUG to continue on its way. Log book was a bit damp.

Found it quickly.Thank you for the cache and hunt.

Found with Gunnie69.

Nice quick find. Silver Sovereign and I grabbed this one while heading North. No sign of the nosy neighbour but I am figuring they must be used to the fly by visits with a cache that has been around for a couple of years... [^]

Cheers

Nice, easy find. Nosy neighbour across the road! Might have to approach with stealth. TNLN thanks for the cache!

easy find today. the nearby house is well known to the locals.

thanks garner family for bringing me back here.

cache in good condition.

Found this evening on my "at least one cache a day quest".
I was raised in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne, so that house is not so unusual to me...although I'm surprised to see that there were no lions on the gate posts!
TNLNSL.
TFTC.

I think I saw that house too

Weird green thing... Heh

Cache is in good condition

First log in the new book, what a strange house on the way here, wonder what the neighbours think!! Geo daughter loved it. TFTH

Cache has been replaced with a nice dry one.

With flower1. Contents wet.

Log book is soaked and needs to be replaced.

An easy find but the cache has taken on water and the log is soaked - needs to be replaced. Geo-sister and I signed a blank card to mark our visit.

Nice and easy find. Cache needs maintenance, all wet.
TFTC, TNLN.

Nice easy find, thought I might take the scouts for a bit of a wander.

LN, T Girl Scout Travel Bug.

I knew this one was close to my home and was the most appropriate place to rest this very special Girl Scout Troop 1047 TB.

Hope you enjoyed the long ride and your TB gets to see some more of this part of the world.

Enjoy the Geocaching experience

Found at 4:57pm just as a storm was about to hit. Muggle Scouts were in the scout den but no worries today. TN Left a yellow toy car. SL. TFTC The Garner Family.

At 13:05. For the second time today we had been beaten to it by Weroaming. TNL crocheted hair clip. TFTC Garner Family. Our 2nd of yours.

This was an easy cache but it required a bit of reversing skill when I drove to GZ with the caravan in tow. A nice place; thanks for the cache. Took geocoin and left token.

Quiet here today and found the cache without too much trouble. SL. Thanks.

No 32 of 205 on the weekend caching spree in Brisbane with The Rats and Big Matt & Shell.

A nice spot- very interesting house/ castle just back up the road. We took the chance for a well earned lunch break here in the middle of the caching day. TFTC!

Found on the Brisbane Caching Invasion with Steeba and The Rats. We found the cache quickly and took the chance to have a lunch break.

Thanks The Garner Family for the cache.

TNLNSL

In Brissy for a caching blitz with Steeba and Big Matt. Stopped for a bite to eat. Dropped off a traveller. 32 of 205 Thanks

Found with Claeton, quick, easy find, TFTC, TNLN, SL

located while in the company of Smeeagain wondered about the ramp down to the pond and the castle around the corner
left gc
TFTC TN SL

Cache found easily. Like previous finders the highlight is the castle up the road. Whilst I can't say that I like it and I definately wouldn't like to have that next door to me. I do have to admire the plastering work that is going into the building of this place by an owner builder. TFTC.

Great place thanks might drop into the den one night and say hello

0644 re-logging due to name change

644 Bit of a waste of time turning the GPS on with that one. TFTC The Garner Family

A quick find on the way home after dropping the geokids off at daycare, TFTC.

Out: Geocoin.

A quick and easy find while visiting nearby relatives. TNLN. A sad failure of the planning scheme just down the road indeed! Thanks Garner Family.

Found today on the way to pick up Geoson Scout from the Combie Trader. Cache in good condtion.

What is up with that Castle thing??? Man arson would be justifiable cause iF you lived in the area!!!! lol

Took UN Patch
Left Geocoin

Tenth one for the day, but the fourteenth cache stopped at. The previous ones were not DNF, but rather did not attempt due to muggle activity.

TFTC

Greetings from South Africa

Found easily and quickly on a drive by cache run with geotoddler asleep. TNLNSL TFTC

Did you see the house or was it a castle just up the road from the cache. The neighbours must hate it. TFTC

Easy Find - TFTC. Good geocaching day out with the kids and dog today.

Nice quick find at 0650hrs.

TNLNSL TFTC

No scouts around today, so it was a quick find.
Thanks TGF

Found this one with Jaeps on the way to the airport. Nice area! First find for us in Australia. TFTC

2nd try, first time somebody mowing the lawn and was taking ages! Easy find on the way to the airport. Took Coin. Was a last minute stop when I relised we had extra time and co-ords in GPS so nothing to leave.

TFTC

A quck find.
Dropped in one of my own geocoins, which I found in a cache in NZ recently.

1045hrs. Easy find among the weeds. TFTCSL.

Drove to site and had the cache in hand in a matter of seconds.
Took highlighter, Left puncture repair kit.

Found this cache easily today, but the highlight by far was this house in a nearby street (photo attached). The elderly gentleman working on the plaster masterpiece is obviously Italian, as indicated by the flag and his skill at his trade. TNLN thanks the Garner Family FTC.

aaaargh!,easy find with creek way up!,thankin' ye'.

I loved this cache as I am a Scouty Type Nerd...
There was running water and everything...
Ta lots...

The swap was sound
Hidden to confound

Parked my car close to GZ but had to leave as there was a muggle with dog sitting on the other side of the creek, enjoying the sunset. Came back after dark (from the other side), and cache was located quickly. TFTC

Took a quick tour past this one after getting our GPS updated with an Australian base map (we had a Canadian one before). TNLN, TFTH!

Found by caughtatwork at 5:36
An interesting location as the sulfer crested cockatoos were out and screaming at us this evening. We must have disturbed their evening fun.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks again to The Garner Family for the opportunity to enjoy the cache and the cockies.

Rated: for Overall Experience

This was a great cache for me today with all of the birds screaming in the sky. I thnk we must have disturbed their dinner. Thank you for letting us see so many cockatoos in one place. It was very interesting.

A nice way to finish a days caching with caughtatwork & gabgab. The cockatoos are seriously noisy in large numbers and were quite spectacular. Thanks for an easy find. TNLN.

COUPLE OF LOCAL QUACKERS WERE VERY INTERESTED IN WHAT I WAS DOING. TFTH

Just bought a GPS and was directed to this cache by the shop. How exciting - an unplanned geocache experience, and our first with a GPS. Found the cache with little difficulty. Thanks.

Found at 1006. Found quickly and hidden a little better. TNLN

Nice easy find.

First attempt at geocaching and found it fairly quickly. Great being paid to do this (still on the clock at work.)

had fun riding throug the water

Nice easy find near the Scout Hall.......... A bit of rain has got in and the log a little wet. I tried to seal it up as best I could.

TNLNSL TFTC

No trouble finding this one at 11:55. In miniature skateboard, out carabiner clip. Thanks for an easy find (good for us newbies to the game)

Found it while my daughter patted the nearby animal.

TNLN

No scouts around by an inquisitive muggle weeding her garden nearby. Had the cache in hand quickly and retreated to the car to sign the log before the mosquitoes could extract any more blood.
TNLN. TFTC

Lots of spectators whilst I was signing log - Horses, birds above and below, easily found, TFTC.

What The marble said . And that creation is worth another Oddity cache, methinks! TFTC! ='.'=

No scouts today so a quick and easy find. The place abounds in bird life - ducks, herons, crows, cockatoos to name a few. Pity about the rubbish dumped in the creek though. I too saw that 'creation' down the road. Had to stop and take a photo. Obviously a labour of love. Thanks TGF

Found OK
TNLNSL TFTC

An early morning visit on a hot and humid day. Great to getg this early as there are no souts around.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

After initially thinking we were not going to be able to find this cache due to a large delivery of freshly dropped woodchip we surprised ourselves by finding it at another location nearby. As we were attempting to replace the cache a bunch of kids showed up on bikes and decided to climb in the nearby trees. After waiting 30mins decided they were going to be there awhile so took the cache with us. We will return the cache to its position tommorow.

Found the cache at 10am. Lovely park. TNLNSL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

That creation down the road is certainly worth the visit. It will be interesting to see it when/if it ever gets finished. The cache only took seconds to find. TNLN.
