Butcher Bird Park Jimboomba, Queensland, Australia

It's gone

This is our 2nd search for this cache... garden has been re mulched so may be buried.
Seeing this is the 5th Did not find, i think this one could do with a little maintenance.
Thanks anyway

You've had three no finds on this cache before us. Might be time to check if it is still there. We searched co-ords location and spread our hunt a little wider, but no joy for us today.

This was the first ever cache we had tried to find and we failed, so don't know if its still there or not. Had a lot of fun looking though.

No luck finding this one today. There is evidence of remulching being done not long ago. It might have been muggled or buried. (or i just didn't look hard enough)

didn't find this one today either, only our second attempt at a GC so not entirely confident yet
geokid and I had a good rummage around in the bushes, found a small green tree frog (or sedgefrog) and a nice quartz pebble but no GC

What a great little park ,you can let the kids play in the playground while you look for the cache .We found it ,but it was very wet ,dried it out and replaced the bag with a new one .

Nice easy find even though there were many muggles nearby having picnic. TFTC

Nice easy find after we started to think like a geocacher.

There were quite a few people in the park but no one around GZ, so I found the cache quickly. Log book was damp but still able to be written on. TFTC The Nanks

Found easily in the obvious spot in company with agap2 on our way home from the Get MEGA Ready event. TFTC

found in the company of JAT (Just a trifle). log book was a bit wet. removed the bag, but made sure the container was sealed properly which should be more helpfull than the bag.

thanks nanks

This cache is very waterlogged. Book soaked and contents very wet. Didn't have any spare bits and pieces to sort it out sorry... TFTC...eatmorchikin & Stigglepot. p.s. you wonder what germs you pick up from handling these rotting soaked logbooks that some caches hold?

Easy find today. TNLN however the logbook is very wet.

Found it No. 1194 ... nice park ... TN and left Chinese Coins

Well once again the GPS led me on a merry chase. Felt like throwing it away and going on gut instinct which is what I did when the GPS played up. With better reasoning powers I found the cache easy to get at. Left 2 gold coins Took Hot Chilli TFTC SL

6th for the day whilst caching with Dannza. Stopped for lunch and a low fat donut from bakery Yum! Quick find TFTC TNLN

TIME FOR LUNCH! THIS PARK WILL BE LOVELY WHEN THE GARDENS ARE ALL FINISHED.TFTC

Nice quick find and conveniently placed to avoid the muggles as they partied in the park.

TNLN. Cheers.

TFTC 5th find for the afternoon. nice park close to where i work. took a marble and left a pirate coin. great spot for a cache.

Found with SuziDiva! Great little find

Out for a day of caching, this was our second for the day, hopefully plenty more to come.
This one was a prety easy find, muggles all at the other end of the park made searching nice and easy.

The girls were left to find this one while the blokes organised the cars, older folk and lunch. Great park. Thanks TNLN

Found by the girls whilst the men scavaged and hunted for lunch in the park. Great place to grab a bite TFTC TNLN

For the first time ever the girls were left to find while the men unloaded the car. Good hide. Beautiful park for lunch. LNTN

Found today by the Downey Clan. The Geomissus loved the wedding going on at the little church next door.

Easy find with the help of the muggle nieces & nephews for their intro to Geocaching.Took bouncy eyeball & left hot chilli key ring. TFTC.

Easy find. Nice park. This one even looked so easy that only big mamma ventured out of the car. Sure enough she was straight on to the booty.

Hey g'day to THENANKS. This was a nice easy walk to in a peaceful location. Cache was a bit elusive at first but then I just rocked on in and found it easily. TFTC TN left TB

After visiting our new puppy in a near by suburb the mission was to locate 6 caches in the area so as we could snare the 1000th today.It is fitting that this cache be one placed by THE NANKS as they introduced us to this pasttime.A great little park for cache number 998 TFTC.

What a great hide, enjoyed locating this one in this lil park

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 1:26pm. I sat and ate my lunch in the park before going out and looking for the cache. I was just 1 metre from the cache when it was time to start searching so it was an easy find. TNLNSL TFTC

Find 1002 - beautiful park, very crisp early in the morning, bakery was not open unfortunately.

Found the cache easily. Nice area. This was our first cache in daylight - it helps!

Took rubber ball. Left rubber ball.

Team Barnes

Found this ok, but no swap. Forgot to bring something. Anyway, we stayed and had lunch.
Nice place for a break.

Pretty sneaky hide there, 'THENANKS'. Nice park, nice cache, nice day to be out caching. TN/LN/SL. Must have been too early for muggles, as I had the place to myself. Could be a tough one around Sat or Sun lunchtime.

Being a Sunday, there were a few mugglers in the area but we managed to get and sign the log book. Nice little park TFTC

aaaargh!,another little gem you 'ave found 'ere!thanks nanks.

Called in on this one after going to see a good friend of Piglet's. There were some decent road works that we had to wait for, wait of 15 mins or so. Didn't bring anything to swap as "we are not doing any caches" So we just logged in and we were then on our way home.

Stopped off to grab this one on our way home. What a great little park! The cache took a bit of finding, but we eventually tracked it down. We left a superball and took a keyring.

Thanks for the cache!

Terrific Park near a terrific rural town....I didn’t know this park even existed!.. Such is the great thing about geo-caching and the new places you find!..
I did make this find a bit harder than it actually was!... But found it after a few minutes.

Out Dolphin
in Dragon Key ring

Thanks Nanks

Very nice bbq and picnic facilities at this park. Had a quick look and the cache didn't reveal itself - read a couple of the previous logs and realized we had to look harder. Cache was then found in no time. TNLN. Thanks THENANKS

I took a butcher's hook at Jimboomba today, looking for a cache. Oh no, it's a NANKS hide [:o]
So it was that I approached the very pleasant surrounds of ground zero with the dread of a very long search for a cache. Not to be this time
I spotted something that just had to be the caches hiding spot. Although at first glance I seemed to have guessed wrong [:o]
I've fallen for this ruse before though and looking a bit deeper, the cache was revealled
TFTC and the nearby bakery It was lunch time when I was here.

This was our 19th of 27 finds for the day.

We didn't park in the carpark here but instead drove up the road alongside to minimise the walking distance to the cache... it was all for nought when we ended up walking to the toilets anyway, but it was a good idea at the time.

It took quite a while before the cache was found with the search occurring in the wrong spot entirely. It was only after something caught Mr Garner's eye that the cache was found.

At 4pm we took a spinning top (out) in exchange for stickers (in).

THIS WAS A NICE EASY FIND BY MRS A.D. NICE LITTLE PARK
THANKS FOR THE CACHE THENANKS L/N/T/N/S/L/
ANGEL DUST

nice easy find on my way to work.

Easy find at 1621.

Took: Keyring

Left: Dolphin

Easy find nice area. took TB coin and left some earrings.

Nice quick dash on the way to the shops. Not many muggles in the park which was unusual. Left TB coin

We were close to here not so long ago for High Ground 2. Nice park; never really stopped though. Hmmm, I maybe wrong but I think the clue should read callistemon. We searched the grevillia for far too long. TFTC TNLN

4th find for the day. The butcher bird met me and watched until I left. Easily found. TNLN.

A quick and easy find in a pretty little park.

Not sure about the hint by the way... i think Callistemon might be more appropriate.

Took bouncy ball and left an opener.

We have discussed this park as a location for a cache...it seems the Nanks saw it's appeal too. Nice hide. TNLN Thanks for the cache

Well after "BEE KEEPER" Mr Spud was very hesitant about going to this one as he had enough trouble out running the Bee's he was a little concerned about the "Butcher Birds" nice easy find in a very pretty park.

Zoinks! A first to find for Mystery Ink. We received an early phone call from Onward Bound this morning telling us that The Nanks had flown over the area in a plane dropping caches as they went. There were four in our area so we couldn't resist these even though there were kids to get off to school and I had to get to work. Luckily, Mrs Ink wasn't working today so we were in there with a chance. I did this one at 7:45 a.m before work and I left the rest to Mrs Ink.

TNLN SL

Thanks for all the effort that the Nanks put into this. We country cachers really appreciate an opportunity to get a first to find. [^]
