Not found since July, two needs maintenance requests ignored, no response from CO to numerous messages. Maybe it's time to be archived?
 
08-May-16
It appears the geocache has gone, by our opinion. Sadly a DNF.
 
08-May-16
Have messaged owner
 
01-May-16
Beautiful place and the kids were fascinated - I concur - no cache to be found here.
 
25-Apr-16
Obviously not here anymore but a peaceful stop none the less
 
11-Apr-16
Parked nearby. Quaint building. Unfortunately, the group conceded that the cache is not there as per previous posts.
 
11-Apr-16
Out with remsjw missussan and mnance101
 
11-Apr-16
Out caching with misssusan79, Bennyboppers and Remsjw. Couldn't find it.
 
28-Feb-16
Sadly could not find however lovely area. Highly likely the cache has gone missing.
 
14-Feb-16
Looks like the CO might need to check on this one. Several DNFs, not found since July, reports of new garden edging suggesting area might have been gone over by gardeners
 
10-Jan-16
Spent a fair amount of time trying to find this one thinking perhaps it may have ended up perched on or amidst the local graves when I didn't find it in the corner. As per the previous log it looks as if there has been recent earth works so may have been removed. A shame as this is am awesome cache location and what caching is all about. Taking cachers to places of interest. Thanks anyway. I enjoyed strolling around here. Very tranquil and wonderful history. I hope you can get it up and running again soon.
 
02-Jan-16
After no logs since August I decided that while out I should give it a go. After a few minutes nothing turned up. Perhaps a CO check may be necessary.
 
25-Aug-15
This new garden edging may mean the cache is gone.

What a little pocket of Brisbane I never knew existed. The graves are worth a read - stacks of local history here

27-Mar-15
Out for a day of caching with IolantheK. We parked out on the road and wandered in through the gate to find this lovely church and cemetery. We made our way to the Lone Pine and quickly spotted the cache. After signing the log, we wandered around for a bit, reading the headstones and thinking about the lives of those buried here
 
27-Mar-15
I had a few hours to spare for a play day today, so put out the word, and Selva Girls was able to join me Big Grin

This one ended up being our last for the day [^] I love going into cemeteries, and this one is very quaint. We made a beeline for GZ first and quickly made the find. Love where you have placed the cache [^] Then we took a very leisurely stroll among the graves reading. I reckon that lovely old church would be a beautiful setting for a wedding, too. TFTC, and for bringing me here, happyharries. Very cool to see an old cache still in place, and it's a great spot, so a favourite point from me Big Grin

Neat hiding area, the neighbours make a nice smell of chips!

Drive past it every day and beer knew what was in here. Such a peaceful and interesting place. Good to read some history about our area
 
04-Feb-15
Lovely if sombre setting for the cache. Lots of local history to be learned from the walk through here. TFTC. Cache dry and we'll hidden. Signed log and returned cache to it's hiding spot. at least no "bark"ing dogs at this one!
 
23-Dec-14
Found it. Log still a bit damp but we dried it out in the sun for a while. The box is a bit broken so I think the rain is getting in. What a lovely peaceful place. TFTC
 
16-Oct-14
Beautiful area! Cache is a little damp though... left a swapable... rookie error coming in peak hr traffic though :/
 
12-Oct-14
Thank you to my good friend to show me this one Smile
 
29-Sep-14
Lid was off cache, log damp.
 
29-Sep-14
We most missed it.
 
25-Sep-14
A quick find with visiting geokids on a school holiday sleepover. Geokid#1 couldn't resist a quick find rather than leaving to the others. We drive past here numerous times a day without realising what is here. Well kept part of history. TFTC
 
24-Sep-14
What an interesting spot. Found it relatively easily with the help of the hint and the name. Had an interesting walk around with H getting quite sombre especially after seeing the infant graves.
 
14-Sep-14
Found today while L was at an acrobatics comp nearby.

Very beautiful spot lovingly maintained by the historical society! Okd church building is beautiful.

TFTC lid is a bit cracked but log all dry!
 
08-Sep-14
Easy find once parking found.⛪️
 
05-Sep-14
Thank you fot this. From top hat guy
 
17-Aug-14
You now once in a while you find a cache and say to yourself, I am really happy to have been brought here and this location is one of those times. Thank you very much happyharriers. I also met mrs Jacqui Butler who is a local historian who was looking after the yard and we had a great chat. To think poor Essy Robinson died of facial skin cancer in 1899, luckily we are aware of sun cancer and how horrible it can be. A favourite point from me.
 
03-Aug-14
Wow my 100th cache. I was mistaken as I thought Lone Pine was associated with the War and taking the cache position had an idea that there was that connection but never the less it is aptly named. TFTC
 
27-Jul-14
Nice warm day and plenty of questions from kids. Thnaks
 
17-Jul-14
Whilst taking kids to Bounce Inc we noticed a cache nearby.
Lovely spot surrounded by noisy snack makers. Tftc
 
07-Jun-14
I reinforce previous logs.. this is a pleasant place and we also spoke to two caring gardeners keeping the place looking good.
I must remember to carefully look at the area map and read a few logs in future as walked from the cycle track which is 100m as the crow flies but 300m by hoof.
Sorry to see the Lone Pine has lost its much bigger relative which was in the same bed. Cache and log both OK...TFTC
 
15-May-14
I've been working next door for 7years but never went in. Thanks for the midnight spooky treasure hunt
 
09-May-14
Working right next door for a couple of days and noticed this cache less than 40 m away so had to do it when leaving work today. Peaceful spot that is being so lovingly cared for. TFTC
 
25-Apr-14
Great find for Anzac day
 
24-Apr-14
Easy location but a couple maintaining the grounds threw a spanner in the works!! Had to linger a little while (hopefully not too suspiciously) ) til she was behind the chapel and he was weeding behind his 4wd. Back home now.... 6 caches later...
 
10-Apr-14
Easy but nice
 
08-Mar-14
Very Happy TFTC
 
02-Mar-14
After spending far too long looking for another cache, without success, our spirits were crushed. This cache is a nice easy one for the kids, and renewed our enthusiasm for geocaching! Thanks!
 
25-Feb-14
What a pretty little chapel
 
25-Jan-14
Sneaky
 
22-Jan-14
Easy cache fortunately as there was someone watering the gardens in the cemetery while I was there. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't already know about the cache but I don't think she even looked my way the whole time. Interesting little cemetery regardless. Thanks for the cache and the smiley.
 
11-Jan-14
Lovely park. Scratchie in the cache for the next finder!
 
11-Jan-14
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Gravely find and very fun.
 
26-Oct-13
Loved our visit to this little cemetery. A great group of people have done an amazing job of making this such a peaceful resting place for some of our very interesting pioneers. Geocaching takes us to many places we would not have visited otherwise. TFTC
 
05-Oct-13
Lived here for many years and never knew about this little place. Beautiful! TFTc
 
05-Oct-13
Found with angloj in a gorgeous little cemetry well hidden and I am sure unknown to many. The time and effort that has gone into mainting this place is evident and worth a stop and read. TFTC
 
23-Sep-13
Never noticed this spot and have frequently driven passed. A lot of the people in here have seen 2 world wars R.I.P
 
08-Sep-13
Driven past many times but never noticed the graveyard TFTC
 
25-Aug-13
Special little place stuck in the middle of industrial buildings. This was a good way to get my wife involved as she enjoys perusing graveyards.
 
Day 17 of the 31 day challenge. What a lovely well maintained church, and grave yard. So many lovely plants. Very peaceful place. Found the cache quickly. TFTC.
 
10-Aug-13
This is the first time I have visited this site despite living nearby for just about my whole life. Enjoyed looking around and admiring the beautiful little church. Thank you.
 
31-Jul-13
A good hide. Thanks. It's amazing that now many people notice this place. I must tell the archdeacon.

Second attempt at this one and found it quickly today. No idea how I missed it last time. TFTC Cool
 
12-Jul-13
Thanks for the cache. I too have lived in the area most of my life and never visited the site before. This was my second ever Cache find Smile
 
04-Jul-13
Like you, I've driven and ridden past here many times and never noticed the church and cemetery. Thanks for bringing this piece of Brisbane's history to my attention.
 
09-Jun-13
Have driven passed here so many times and never noticed the cemetery. Cool place for a cache and a little but of history at the same time! TFTC!
 
09-Jun-13
Found with my beautiful littleredrobyn on a Sunday drive... pretty spot
 
22-May-13
Hallowed ground.
 
19-May-13
I have lived in Wynnum for a number of years, so driven past hundreds of times without realising this place even existed. Finding totally new aspects of your vicinity - the beauty of geocaching!

A nice simple find. Covered the hide a bit more as it was exposed.

TFTC, happyharries!
 
14-May-13
Never knew this place existed. Thanks
 
14-May-13
I think I left my torch at GZ. Will drop by again on the wee small hours to collect.
 
14-May-13
Found it!


My torch that is.
 
23-Apr-13
I had driven past this one many many times, not really sure where it was, thinking that it was in the car park of the place next door. Well today on closer inspection I realise there is cemetery here, and that only left the last little problem of where to park.

I choose the risky option of parking in the driveway and duck in quickly. The find was fast so lucky I was barely parked for 5 minutes and no worries.

TFTC

Headed upto Cannon Hill Shopping Centre this morning for an appointment. We had a spare few minutes so made this quick grab. Beautiful cemetery with chapel. TFTC
 
07-Dec-12
Found this one with the wife some time ago.
Nice easy one with some interesting history.TFTC
 
17-Nov-12
Wandered through the tiny graveyard and past the church with Captain Terror as we made our way into the back corner of the garden.

What a strange place to find this little piece of history and what a shame it is now surrounded by a light industrial area.

A bit of a scrabble at GZ as the cache wasn't quite where we expected it to be Smile

All in all, not too taxing and I enjoyed the location. No one else seemed to be about although I did wonder if we were trespassing.

TFTC happyharries Smile
