Preliminaries:
There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start there.
There is no need to enter any commercial premises for any part of this cache!
Please use the roadside footpaths where possible, and take care in crossing any roads.
Makku Mob Caches are popping up all over the place. We place them where we have met up with fellow geocaching friends, and encourage others to do likewise: meet up with a few friends and have some fun caching.
So, a Mob Cache is a Social Cache. In order to find the location of this cache, you will need to bring along some of your friends! The more friends you have, the easier it is to find the cache.
For this cache, you need a minimum of THREE cachers to meet at the posted coordinates with their smartphones.
Location:
Logan Central is a mixed-use suburb and the central business district and administrative centre of the City of Logan and the Logan LGA.
Once forming part of Woodridge, Logan Central is the official central business district of Logan City and is a major activity centre, with many shops and local businesses operating in the area, mostly along the Wembley Road corridor.
In 1985 the intention was that Logan Central would consist only of the "Logan City Council Administration Centre and contiguous Council properties", but it was subsequently enlarged with land excised from both Woodridge and Kingston.
The following schools are within Logan Central: Woodridge State School, Woodridge State High School and the Logan City Special School
Logan Gardens was built in 1980s and fifteen and a half hectares of land was procured from the Queensland Housing Commission in 1987 for further development of the green area. It has amenities, like car parking, children's playground and pathways.
The Gardens is home to several geocaches (eg., the 3 Wherigo caches "Logan Gardens Tree Fishing 1" GC95AY9), and the Adventure Lab "Logan Gardens".
Technical details:
This style of cache is called a geomob. It is popular at events, where a mob of 6, 10 or even more cachers might be required before a cache is unlocked. As this isn’t part of any event, I’ve reduced the size of the mob to just 3 people to give you a taste of the geomob experience. Each cacher present will need an internet-supported smart phone.
[The original mob server was discontinued at the start of 2024; however, the experience has been recreated by talk2azs (with assistance from Mister Doctor) to run on a new server.]
Once at the listed coordinates, each of you should tap on the following link on your separate devices.
NOTE: This is a Multi-Part Mob Cache
CLICK THIS LINK NOW and a new window will open. USE CODE 3210
Continue to refresh this window until you are close enough and connected to the mob. You will see the new message and new coordinates.
Use the same link above for each subsequent stage.
👓 If you get a Geolocation Permission error, ensure your browser‘s settings allow geolocation.
👓 Refreshing the window should also clear any GPS reading errors.
👓 Be patient - the mob refresh rate is a bit slow, so even though you might be within the mob radius you may have to wait there for a little bit until your presence is detected!
✅ It would be a great idea if someone in your group IMMEDIATELY takes a screen snapshot to minimize the risk of losing the screen. OR, you could just write down the directions or coordinates for the final.
The Cache:
Then you could take a pleasant WALK from the starting coordinates to the cache - it is a short distance away. Or you could elect to drive, but please park sensibly. The HINT may contain further information.
Good Luck!
