The CO disabled this one back in August. I think it might be time to open the area for someone else to hide a cache . I know I am looking for a spot in the area.

After finding the other nearby cache we went the wrong direction to get to this one. That turned out to be a good thing as we saw more of the park and met some very friendly swansCool. On arrival at GZ the cache was easily seen and we soon had the lid off. The cache had quite a bit of water inside which we tipped out but all contents including log are soaked, so unable to sign. This one needs some TLC. TFTC Dusty PairBig Grin

After finding the other nearby cache we found there was another nearby so we went to find that one. Whilst in the park we saw some very friendly swans. Upon finding cache, the log was very wet so unable to sign it. This one needs some TLC. TFTC Dusty Pair

Out and about on a day in Bundy by myself finding caches. Big Grin
With the batteries running low I had GZ just far away to have me looking elsewhere for awhile before moving to this location. Razz

This was our 2nd cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 11:47.
(So this is our 4883rd total find.)

A nice quick find. Although the journey took us to the wrong side of the water at our first attempt.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Dusty Pair for the hunt today.

gps put me a bit out but looked for obvious place and there it was tftc
 
14-Aug-12
The gps had me all over the shop with this one. it had me near GZ but not quite. fed up with it i put it away and went with my geocaching senses and they were right. the first place i look I found it. although i nearly missed it as i glanced by its hiding spot and then thought hang on a min that looked odd. lol. Logged my name and then put it back. had a sit down to enjoy breeze then treked back to the car.

Getting to this one was a bit of a mission - especially at night. We were all a bit weary - but we finally got to GZ. Someone piped up they found it and we signed the log. It was in good condition. A very nice and looked after area. TFTC Dusty Pair Smile

03-Jul-11
found it on our 2nd attempt
 
We were in the area this afternoon and decided to take a stroll around the paths and the ducklings decided we should stop by and take a quick look in to check it was all ok.

Loads of people in the area this afternoon enjoying a great spot!

Cache is all in good order Smile

We had quick lunch at the park before hunting this cache, as we approached GZ there was a couple muggles sitting nearby but we continued with searching then one of the muggles came up to Mr Bushies2 to say hello then she showed the cache!!! She was a fellow cache which found it earlier. Had a nice quick chat with her. Thanks Dusty Pair.

Found with cuz while out for a day @ the park! TFTC TNLNSL
 
18-May-11
Out for a quick look after work and before dark, found it OK but the pen didn’t work and for the first time we didn’t take one with us so a pleasant walk through the park to the car. BYO pen just in case. TFTC

New dry contents, new swaps, New log book
 
27-Feb-11
Found this one after some much trekking around the gardens!
Was very water logged from the floods, log book is ruined.
 
03-Jan-11
The cache is still there but the log book is very soggy. Needs a new one. Will fix in the near future when the ground is less slippery. Please continue to log your visits on the web.

Would advise not searching for this cache at the moment as the ground is very slippery with lots of dead fish drying in the sun. Stinky. Big Grin

Another brazen hide!! Having seen this type around Bundy over the last couple of days, I was better placed to spot this one today and it was soon at hand.

TFTC.
 
14-Aug-10
AS A VISITOR TO BUNDY DID NOT REALISE THIS GREAT SPOT WAS HERE

ANOTHER REASON TO CACHE ,TAKES YOU TO SPOT YOU WOULD OTHERWISE NOT VISIT

Found on another sunny Queensland day. My second try, having been on the wrong side of this lovely park yesterday. Today there was a picture-taking family right beside GZ. I had managed to espy the cache just as they moved off! My thanks to Dusty Pair.
 
18-Jul-10
all good fun

A cache with a difference. Took a little while to find including at one stage having it directly in front of me without noticing it, well done. Thanks.

Came at this from the wrong side with Modelbear but once we had that sorted out it was an easy find. TFTC
 
02-May-10
Once you find a way to get into the right side of the "swamp" this one isn't too hard to find. It had us walking around for a while. Lovely area. TFTC
 
01-May-10
Found while out with the L&L junkies; Bedmaker & Mr Gap, it was a nice stroll through this area with loads of interesting wildlife to look at. Mr Gap also built a little more on his 'going the wrong way' reputation [:o)] TFTC
 
What a great area Cool - I would love to spend some time here - there was lots of bird life on the water and then there are all the various types of fungus....nature is such a wonderful thing[^] ....anyway, we did find the cache - well, I spotted it first - yay for me Twisted- not that we are a competitive bunch - much....!! TFTC and for the great walk through this area.
 
01-May-10
Approaching GZ, I was convinced NOT to go that way... 'cos you can't get across, but I was outvoted by the junkies and bedmaker... so we wandered across..

oh look... there's no way across Razz

So we backtracked and found another way in, and once at GZ, was an easy find.

TFTC Dusty pair

Have to admit it, agap2 was right. We did indeed walk a bit further than necessary, but it was a lovely stroll, wasn't it? Would have been a peaceful, relaxing stroll too if we hadn't had a cache in our sights. Once at GZ, it was Mrs Lat&Long who spotted the cache. TN/LN/SL and found our way back to the cars after only one agap2 excursion into a dead-end Wink.
 
01-May-10
An enjoyable walk around here while in the area doing a few other caches nearby.
For us we just needed to find the right way into it.

29-Nov-09
A lovely walk in the park - the dog especially enjoyed joining in.
 
08-Nov-09
Went looking for this one yesterday afternoon. Had to walk the long way round as the GPS was pointing straight at a garden wedding. GZ was right in the middle of a patch of mown grass. Looked everywhere but no luck. Will try again next time we are in Bundaberg.
 
04-Oct-09
Enjoyed the walk especially when we met mother goose and her band of fluffy goslings.
Thanks Dusty Pair
 
03-Oct-09
Found at 11.00am GAFF1. These type of caches are out to test us. We meandered our way to GZ and were greeted by some black swans who thought we had food for them - showed them the gps and they left in disgust.
Thanks Dusty Pair.

Nice hide and not where I was expecting it to be! TFTH! One of my fav places to wander. SL
