Sorry everyone - have not got around to making this a more secure cache. Will archive and plan a more reliable cache in this location in the near future, hopefully, as it is an ideal spot to source materials and commence geocaching activities in this area [:0)].
Thanks to all that have found and posted notes.
Will endeavour to repost for all cachers soon

It was a little late in the afternoon, but we had the right spot, nothing to find, maybe a better look in full sunshine may help.
Need to carry out some maintenance judging be the last two log entries. Will hopefully have back online by the weekend. Ahh those muggles-if only I was a wizard.....
Cache found on the ground. Almost looks like it has been hit by a lawn mower. Suggest in need of maintenance as it does not have a log book
This took longer than it should have.Muggles had relocated the cache. I found it lying open 20m from where it should have been the stash note nearby and no log book.I put it back together and rehid it where I think it should have been TFTC.
Nice easy find, even with the battery on the GPS going flat at about 20m from GZ.

Nice easy find as we were wrapping up our day in Toowoomba. Its micro, so no swaps today.
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
Found without trouble - possibly because it was lying there on the ground as obvious as the nose on your face. It's been stood upon, I'd say, and after signing the log, I placed it somewhere I think it ought to be safer, but I'm afraid it was not the best hide I've ever managed. I think the cache owners might want to pay this one another visit - troublesome lil thing, isn't it? TFTC. ='.'=
After finding Guns'n Roses a few days ago and coming across an eclipse container there for the first time I knew what to look for - and found quickly. Can't believe I walked past twice before without noticing.

Found on our way to Fraser Island for a week of fun & 4wd'ing with the gophers.
It was raining and we had seen logs by another cacher for the last few days as we travelled. Then as we were logging this one in the shade Qasar appeared and introduced himself so we saved him the trouble of searching too. It was a good hide but not too hard for the eagle eyes to find it.
Thanks again ianandmichele,
Roostaman.

Found by baby&Mrs gopher from Wagga Wagga in company of Roostaman.And while finding cache, another cacher came along just for the fun.Hi to Quaser who we had been following for a couple of hours.Tnx I&M
Tried initially for this one but there was a busload of schoolkids watching my every move. Came back and there were some suspicious looking characters clustered around a tree looking at their GPS. It was Roostaman, Baby & Mrs Gopher et al., who have either been following me or I was following all the way from Dubbo. A few introductions later and this was a rather easy find for me in the end! Good to finally put some faces to names I've seen in many log books on my travels! Have fun on Fraser Island!
Just a quick note to let you know that the cache is still in the same tree but I have moved it to a not so noticable spot to muggles. Please replace as you found it.
Sorry to say but I have tried twice now and not found it. I can find GZ, but not the cache.
Have replaced cache and pleased to announce Info Mania II is now awaiting the pleasure of being found - enjoy.
Did a quick maintenance check when the last seeker didn't find it. Sadly, 'Info Mania' has been muggled. Not to worry, will have 'Info Mania II' in place in a couple of days after I have returned from a Scout camp.
Had a pretty good look, but without climbing the tree (in the rain) I think this one has gone
sorry

My seventh find of the day! Beautiful park. Thanks Ian and Michele for guiding me and Everlasting there.
Found the cache at 12.10am. Accompany with Ozcymru. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.
This is the first cache in hopefully many more that we have found. We decided to pick a (hopefully) easy cache to start with, and were not disappointed. Filled out the log, and placed it back in its little hiding spot!
1208hrs. An easy find in a great little park. The additional hint would have been of no assistance on this occasion, as the cache was lying on the ground. We signed the log and replaced it in what looks to be its intended hiding spot. Kids loved the nearby playground. TFTC.
It was great to see so much water flowing through the cement gully thingy. The geoboys had a ball trying to jump the width (unsuccessfully most of the time ) With great splashes and whoops of joy in the back ground, Mumma NANKS quickly grabbed the cache, signed the log and returned it to it's hide!
Thanks for the fun times!

So many pretty plittle parks in Toowoomba and thanks to the hide we where taken to another one. Easy find TNLNSL
First find of the weekend. Glad it was a nice easy one to start things off. Not many muggles about.

Found 5.00pm
Reasonably easy to fnd once I knew what to look for.
Saw ARH Tiger, how had found cache a few minutes earlier.
had to be careful of muggles playing cricket nearby.

Found easily and with no muggles about. Thanks for the Cache! Geokid enjoyed the bike ride. Spotted Lost Ed looking inconspicuous on the way back from Lest We Forget around cache site whilst the local muggle cricket team were playing nearby.
Took a long walk to this one from the top of the range where we were staying so the cool trees and little stream were a welcome sight! Nice and easy, lovely little spot. TNLN. TFTC
Eventually found it after first waiting for the council worker to leave the scene and then getting a proper fix on the rght side of the flowing stream.

The search for the cache was made more difficult by the lack of info my GPS was giving me today
Over there, NO, over there it kept saying [B)]
After 10minutes it seemed to be a wild cache chase. Eventually I had enough Info to satifsfy my Mania and found the little blighter. It's covering of mud made it blend in so well
All dry inside though. TFTC.

Second find on our day heading west. Found at 9.30am. The cache looked like it had been muggled as it was lying out in the open (but was otherwise intact).
TNLN & replaced the cache in the obvious hiding spot.
A lovely park in a lovely city - Thankyou for bringing us here.

We parked the Mystery Machine under a nice shady tree and proceeded to follow the gutter along until we reached GZ. A nice easy find and I must say that thats the best camouflaged eclipse tin that I have seen. We decided to pick up a UBD of Toowoomba while we were near the info centre to help with future caches.

There seems to be something familiar about this name.
we found the cache easily even on a busy day. I fear the recent rain has rusted the container somewhat but it hasn't spoilt the contents.
Thanks for the day's fun Ian&Michele.

1350hrs. Had my daughter with me today and not too many muggles about. Sent daughter to GZ to retrieve cache, then we sat on the ground, filled out the log and returned the cache to hiding spot. Don't think we looked too suspicious at all!!
Great little spot and good hide.

Thanks IanandMichelle

1340hrs I had driven past many times but had no idea the park existed. Muggle central it took quite a while to retrieve the cache, I walked in many circles. TFTC.
