Apologies folks.
I have been working in a different location for a year, only recently returning localy.
I must have missed the earlier reviewer note in my sea of emails.

You are not going to belive this, but I literally said to a work colleague on Frisay "I need to replace this cache, remind me on Monday and we will go for a walk"
c'est la vie
May it rest in peace

I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the *archive listing* link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, **please log a note to the cache** (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

I finally had an opportunity to look for this one as I come by often (my other hobby I sewing). But the park bench was in use by a couple consoling one another - it's actually a surprisingly busy little area - next time!

This one was very special for me and the hubby as it marks the 1 year anniversary of Chester Bennington's suicide and as the cache was located so close to Chester st we have been saving this cache for the occasion. We found the cache signed the log and then set up a small candle lit vigil for Chester, taking a moment to be mindful of how he impacted our life. I remembered my mum and step-dad walking down the aisle together to Linkin Park's "Numb" and how happy I was for my dear mumma and how proud I was of her and how beautiful she was.

If anyone is thinking about Chester tonight and is having thoughts of harm PLEASE feel free to message me. I will be here for you from 2:00am - 5:00am Australian Eastern Standard Time

Found it. No TB’s in cache. Not surprising considering the size of it.

Also admire BCC,s efforts in policing this park. I was going to ride my horse here and play a game of golf till I saw the sign...

2/5/18, 10:54 pm Find #1674
I don't tend to spend much time in these parts of the city but our caching with HuntHiHuntLo tonight we chose to grab a few around here, not something I would do on my own at night that's for sure. Looking at the map, we decided to head to this one, and as we pulled up noticed we were right by Urban Climb, somewhere my brother tended to spend quite a bit of time. Parking the car - much easier in this area at this time of night - we headed over to make a quick find. Nice to see the CO has provided some soft furnishings here (There is a roll of carpet on one of the bench seats)! Took a seat (not the carpeted one) to sign the logbook before HuntHiHuntLo replaced the cache and we headed for our last cache of the night.
Thanks for the cache Rogainer.

I had to head into the Valley after work to pick up a few things and decided to make the short detour to get this cache. A guy was sitting on one of the seats smoking a cancer stick I sat on the other seat until he finished killing himself and left. Then I made a quick find. Thanks.

What a glorious sunny day for some Caching. We are in the Brisbane area for a few days of Caching. Upon arrival found Velcro strip under seat, which fits description / hint. However, no cache. So we widened search and found Cache buried in garden some distance away. Log book signed and Cache reattached with its own Velcro strip to Velcro strip at GZ. Many thanks for bringing us here. TNLN SL TFTC
 
19-Sep-17
This was our first find! The geocache may have been moved from its original location as there is a Velcro strip on the tin but we did not find it attached to the other side of it's Velcro. We couldn't find any Velcro in the area so we replaced the tin where we found it.
 
08-Sep-17
Was out and about today and thought of finding a few caches in the inner suburbs of Brisbane and the city Big Grin.Their weren't many muggles about today along the river so retrieving the cache was easy. There were a few muggles about talking to each other so stealth was essential Wink . We no one was looking the cache was retrieved and signed Razz.Thanks for the cache Rogainer Cool. TFTC!!! SmileSmile
 
27-Aug-17
Cache replaced

Good to go
Be aware that it appears that a couple of homeless people have made this park home. You may wish to limit your finding of this one to daylight hours.
 
04-Aug-17
I turned up here with a replacement cache only to be muggled out Sad
Unfortunately, I am working out of town at present, so it could be a little while before I can get back here.
 
16-Jul-17
Hey couldn't find the geocache no where to be found even had a geocaching friend help me it may be missing have never logged a DNFI defiantly disappointed
 
16-Jul-17
Also it all has been freshly mulched I encourage the owner comes and has a look for it themselves
 
16-Jul-17
This one looks like it MIA - again....
 
31-May-17
Oh dear...there may be some bad news on this one. There is a correctly-sized piece of Velcro attached in a likely spot, but no cache to be seen. Don't see any other place for it to be hiding. The owner may want to check up on this one.

Nice and easy cache- just beware of muggles in the area
 
28-Apr-17
Found IT yayyyy TFTC
 
10-Apr-17
I'm in Brisbane for work and this one is the closest to my hotel so after work tonight I headed out. I made it to a deserted GZ and made a nice quick find but unfortunately my pen ran out so I couldn't sign the log.

I have photo's of the cache and log to prove my visit if the CO wants me to send them through. TFTC
 
02-Apr-17
Found it. TFTC
 
17-Mar-17
TFTC... 16/3/17. Sitting made it easier to find it. Not too many people about other than misssusan79.
 
16-Mar-17
Took a seat on the wrong seat which allowed us to see the hide from afar. Found with REMSJW after visiting a local dance store.
 
11-Mar-17
I'm sure we parked illegally here, but hey we stayed near the car to move very hastily if needed. Watched all the youths in the area coming and going to do a bit of rock climbing. Finally the coast was clear that we could get in and do a proper search, in between teenagers keeping a close eye on us. We must of looked a bit strange in their eyes, blocking their bike path with our car and loitering out the front of their hang out. Hey we are ok, we just need to find our fantastic plastic.

If they come out we just sit on a seat together and admire the local artwork, which I'm sure makes us look more weirder, geo-daughter could of helped us out and come out to hang with us...but no she's too busy on snap chat.

Soon located the hidden treasure and watched this social climber go for an urban climb.

tftc Rogainer, all good here.
 
09-Mar-17
Out early this morning for a fairly easy find. Hardly anyone around in this tiny part of Fortitude Valley. As I was sitting with the cache in hand I noticed one of the local chefs was looking in my direction, but he went back to his trendy cafe without a second look. I hope.

I walked right past the laneway leading here so put another 500 odd metres on my walk. Although small, there was room to leave a Big Dad 57 pathtag. TFTC, Rogainer
 
22-Feb-17
Urban Climb is rather busy, so keep an eye out for muggles. An interesting little park though that we never would've known existed, so thanks! Sneaky Squirrels (and an ambivalent Space Prairie Dog in tow )
 
04-Feb-17
Omg I was getting frustrated on this one... but then read the hint

07-Dec-16
Last cache of the day and a quick find with plenty of Muggles around.
 
07-Dec-16
Some relatively inner-city caches for a change today, in the company of Nadine1989. We concentrated mostly in the New Farm area, but started at Kangaroo Point before heading over the river.

Park Here I did while the ladies sat down in the shade and made the find.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 1.40pm on 7th December 2016. TFTC

Took longer than I'd like to admit, but we found it eventually. Cute little park though.
 
21-Aug-16
On my way to see a movie, thought I'd grab this one! No chalk designs, unfortunately; and I had to wait a while for some muggles but happily I was sitting on top of it! TFTC.
 
20-Aug-16
Nice and easy for International Geocache Day while we were in the neighbourhood.
