Took us a while but found it! Definitely needed the help of other people's comments. More on the fence then beyond it
I am down under for the very first time. Visiting Australia has always been a dream of mine, and I cannot believe it has come true. Australia's nature and wildlife really captivated me. Over three weeks, I saw many wonderful beaches, sunsets, animals such as , and I found great geocaches. My tour guide was mostly geocaching, and through it, I discovered many beautiful places I wouldnt have seen without our great hobby. I mainly stayed in Brisbane but also visited other gorgeous places such as Noosa Heads and Springbrook. I spent a few days on the Gold Coast and Moreton Island, and I went to New South Wales to have visited a second state in Australia. During my stay, the winter and early spring in Queensland were very warm, the sun shone every single day, and I did not see a single drop of rain. My time down under was so beautiful and unforgettable. Australia is such a stunning country! Today I spent another day in Brisbane. I really like this city and I discovered beautiful places. I also looked for many geocaches like this one. At GZ I found the cache easily. After signing the log I put the container back as found. Thank you for this geocache says Mr. J. Cacher from the other side of the world
Nabbing this one required a little stealth - as to not draw the attention (!) of nearby construction workers! TFTC
After many years of break from geocaching, back in the game with our new little one, this is her first find! Happy Coca!
After attending the CITO at the cemetery this morning, grabbing a few caches before going home for lunch. Looked at this one years ago but just wasn't caching in the area. Today, I made the effort to get it and a quick, easy find after working out where to be. All good with this cache. Interesting location. Tftc
Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific.Top level cache once I figured out how to rise above all the other levels. I was unable to sight the cache, rather I found it by feel. With all the construction going on it took a few missed turns until I found my way into the station. After making the find I then descended and caught the bus to the next cache. TFTC Found & logged using Cachly for iOS
Nice hide.. had to look at previous logs (like so many other before me).. I had the feeling it was where I found it however with construction workers right there it was a little hard to just start feeling around.. well worth it though.. TFTC
We think we know where it is but has been blocked off by the city, I think due to graffiti or construction.
This one took us way longer than it should have. We had to use other peoples logs for hints. Signed log as team perpul. I took out all the crappy full logs and added a new dry one. TFTC!
A little bit of a hunt for this one. Expected a micro but found a small! TFTC from Team Perpul!
Went to the wrong level initially. Had to read other people's posts to get to the right level and right location. Glad we find it eventually
Vandaag ben ik van Hervey Bay naar Brisbane gereden. Morgen ga ik het centrum verkennen dus ik loop alvast even naar het busstation om te kijken hoe het allemaal werkt. Oh en er ligt ook een cache hier, dat is mooi meegenomen!Hanging Gardens of Buranda was cache nr 6600 om 16:19. thefourbees bedankt voor de cache!Volg me op instagram voor : gc_badmintonner
Great hunt finding this one. Couldn’t have done it without the posts. I love the many layered options you have for where it might be!
Only just found it as it was beyond the fence line and it was peaking out a little bit. Took a few minutes and knowing it was magnetic definitely narrowed it all down. Tftc
Will be back looked for ages. Maps sent me to the other side of the train tracks at first
Tricky with different levels still accessible through outside of building. Good fun thanks for cache.
took some time but for there in the end, sneaky spot! found with Oztracker11
Well this one took us a while. First the ap took us to an impossible location to find cache so flowerpotkids found a better way.
Once here we had to decide on which level held the prize:)
Geobuddy flowerpotkids came up with the goods.
Enjoyable experience
Thanks thefourbees

Up here for NRL magic round and picked up a cache hear where I'm staying. TFTC
This was a really fun cache to do, however I recommend you park near Buranda Train Station and use this app to find the cache because it takes you to a weird place. TFTC!
Wow, that was a pretty tough D1. I looked for about 20min and finally found it in the last place I looked. (Actually you can’t see it, you need to feel for it.)
Quick find at gz on my way to work this arvo. Made my mark on one of many log books inside the cache and returned as found. TFTC
Tftc! Took us a 10 mins of searching and looking at photos. The coordinates took us out of bounds which is not correct. Good camo and magnetic.
Parking on the area tricky due to roadworks/construction

This morning, I had to park my car on the south side of the city in order to plan to do a few things after work, but it did give me an opportunity to ride into work using an alternative route. I decided to detour past this geocache, and with some construction happening in the area due to the underground train tunnels, I took a ride along the side-street, and then followed the ramps through the hanging gardens in order to arrive at GZ. GZ had me between two different levels, so I started where I thought it was best positioned, and then after not finding anything, I searched a few past photos to discover that I needed to be at that other level. Once I was at this elevation, the cache was a reasonably quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. There seemed to be a lot going on inside the cache container, so after sorting the contents out, I left it in slightly better shape than how I found it. Thanks thefourbees for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
came back to sign it after finding it earlier this month and it’s not here anymore 
(
(I found a 15 minute park not far away and i looked here and looked there and read some previous logs and finally spotted the cache and made it back to the car in time. Thanks for the fun
Took us a while to get to gz on this one but after a few minutes we found the cache! Log signed returned as found. Thanks for this great cache
Coords are definitely out. It is not in the out of bounds area and the images help. First cache in forever while waiting for someone in hospital. Tftc and the respite
This is the last cache of the day for Ravenclaw2489 and I, her eagle eyes spotted it very quickly. We almost got blown away with the strong wind along the train tracks! Thanks for the cache thefourbees!
I looked for this cache with Moogiechew who used to live in this area and take the train to work from Buranda Station. We walked along the platform before heading outside to the gardens. We thought we were still 12 metres away from GZ. Fortunately we looked around and found something that didn't fit. Thanks thefourbees
Once I found the right level with help from photos, it didn’t take too long to find. Coordinates are out but as I said, previous finders’ photos helped a lot. Tftc
Today, being out of lockdown, we had the opportunity to come for a walk to this area. Heading from South Brisbane, we wandered this way, happy to give the muscles a workout after a week in lockdown.
At GZ, we found ourselves in an area we have not yet explored.
With a little searching, we soon found what we were seeking.
This area is very beautiful, and despite being surrounded by buses and trains has a lovely sense of the
historic Babylon Gardens. Very surprising and lovely find here.
Thanks thefourbees.

No pen, again. I think I should change my name to nopen85. This was a little tricky. Coords need reviewing. Please take my photo of log as proof of find. Cheers.
After today’s CITO Event and post Cito event I was happy to head home, but there is always time for one more cache. I was driving along and saw this one was nearby and it sounded interesting.
I parked in a free spot close by as there was no one around today. A walk around and I soon had choices of where the cache may be, hmm, not this level and not this one ahh this one was just right. A quick look around and I spied the cache sitting in the open. A quick grab and then a sit down to sign the log before placing it back and in a little more secluded spot.
Thanks for this one, it was nice to see this area and I never knew that there was a world below the road.

Maybe 30-50 metres out from GZ I caught the first whiff of it. As we closed in the smell got stronger and stronger. Someone had taken a pizz in the area and when I say pizz I mean piss. Not only that they must have had a big night on the asparagus to manufacture such a smell.
It was time to breathe through the mouth only but even then I could taste the pizz in the air. I hadn’t felt the urge to throw-up so much since I learnt that kids aren’t the wonderment and fancy your parents tell you they are. I am sympathetic to the need because we have all had big nights where the urge compels you. Some of the weeds in my back yard rely on it.
The stank was unbearable so I was happy when Mrs Woodyrothwell felt the find. She then wanted to sanitise her hands but I felt the need to sanitise my nostrils and mouth. Who knew pizz could be made into a weapon? tftc

Sometimes,it just happens....Found in VERY 1st place I looked. Surprisingly quiet locale & T4TC
Managed to nab a park close by to be able to grab this one today. As I approached GZ I had a good idea of where to search. As I went in for the grab I dropped the cache and it fell the wrong way. Some stretchy manoeuvres had the cache back I hand . Luckily I stopped i here in between muggles. Tftc
Clues were very helpful. Would have found a lot earlier if we just reached a little further. Good stuff!
had to read many clues for this one! found it in the end tho with a little reach!
