Not for me either

Judging from all the DNFs previously the CO needs to check if this cache is in place or replace it.

Spent 20 min looking but didn't have high hopes after the previous DNFs

Didn't have high hopes seeing this one was last found more than 6 months ago. Looked all over but unfortunately didn't locate the cache

We had a decent search here (even though it was a bit nerve wracking having so much traffic a short distance underneath us) but came up empty handed.

Heavy traffic and no luck today

We had a fair idea of how the cache would be hidden (which could be wrong!), but no sign of it. Possible that the cache has been pushed in too far?

Awesome find! Loved it hahaha

A quick find
A bit nervous about retrieving cache
But all good
Log is full needs replacing

A nice sunny morning to get out and shoot the breeze near the river

Wandered up to GZ and admired the big tree Then it was a matter of finding the hiding place. I sat down and was asked by a walker if I was OK? A bit worried he may call the police ‍ but seems not. PAF to Arfie as not seeing the wee beastie and he indicated to the right of the coords and then I spotted it. At the risk of having to walk home, used my car key to extract the container. Then sat cross legged in middle of the bridge signing the log while walkers wandered past.

Definitely a vertigo inducing cache

Found! Nervous to get it out bit got it. Third time lucky!

Logbook to be replaced please, GemJay

What a lovely feature, to have the tree incorporated into the bridge design

Having scoured the obvious spots, we had to go back to recent activity to help with more clues. That seemed to do the trick, as the tiny cache was finally found by He-Squirrel not long after (although he could've been mistaken for taking a nap!). We're surprised, just like many others, that this hasn’t been dropped before, which only added to the pressure of not being the ones to drop it on our retrieval! Were bummed to then learn that the logbook has long been full, so we’ve attached a “phlog” as our proof of find.

Out doing some changing stop by this one
Found nice hide

TFTC

Well that was a bit scary!! Very hot and humid Day as well so concerned we might drop it!! All good tftc

Spotted by Gcoven, recovered by moi with a TOTT that I happened to have in the kit. Felt quite exposed to the traffic below and the general height. Wanted to get the signing over with quickly so the container was safe and secure, and before the constabulary appeared. Thanks for placing this cache GemJay.

Quite a trek for us in Brisbane today! Tftc

Trick or treat Halloween cache with scarecrox... more tricky than treat! We were scared to drop it. TFTC.

I wanted to get a cache close to Halloween and while this wasn’t the spookiest is was certainly TRICKy TFTC and happy Halloween!

Tftc

Quick grab. TFTC. Surprised this one has not been lost over the edge!

Happy International Geocaching GemJay!
We attended the event today and when it was over we looked for more caches in the area.
This was very hard to find. Don't think we would have found it without a PAF. Coords were spot on. Was difficult to take off and put back on. Lucky we brought our TOTT.
TFTC

I didn't think I was afraid of heights.... but now I have to rethink that this was scary and needed a PAF... thanks for the help/ hint.. and thanks for the cache!!!

Was starting to wonder if I was looking for the wrong thing when I finally spotted it.
Luckily I brought an ok tool to help out. After thinking I dropped it and looking for a couple of minutes spotted it again and retrieved it safely.
Must of been at least two cachers going past as got two friendly beep beeps.
The sign tied up behind gave good cover.

Find #2339

After dropping Miss 13 off at rowing, I found a car park and went for a walk to find a couple of caches.

I followed a couple of muggles all the way down here from the fiveways. Thankfully, they didn't stop to smell the roses and were gone by the time I got to GZ.

I spotted the cache quickly but retrieving it was a different matter and I was worried about dropping it. Thankfully, I had an extendable magnet which I was able to use to retrieve it.

TFTC GemJay

Will be back. Too busy

This was a bit scary! I'm sure this bridge is on a lean.. luckily I spotted it quickly thanks for placing

Went for a bit of a long walk around the area this morning and we found ourselves at this hide.
Luckily there wasn't any muggles interrupting the search today so after a bit of looking about I soon had this one in sight.

Was worried a bit about it falling but with safe hands we had it.

Signed the log and soon had it back in place.

TFTC

was a bit uncomfortable doing this on a Sunday arvo, so I didn't put my all into it.

Took a long time to find this one two visits and 4 people on the second visit

Took a bit to find almost had 3 crashes on the ICB of people watching someone walking around slowly on the overpass. Also watch out for swooping magpies if coming from the western side. Also bring some geotools to remove log my fat fingers couldn't get it out will need to come back another day

I wandered over here from another nearby cache to have a look, hoping for a quick find, alas that was not to be today.

After searching for about 30 minutes I decided to make a call and see if a friend might be able to shed some light on things for me. Well no some thoughts on the area to look, but nothing of the type described. So chalking this up as a DNF today, and hope to get back again one day.

TFTH

TFTC...log is a bit damp. Not sure what to do if it was dropped.

A quick find with jemilalucy and millie after a day out at frew park

A quick find before some other tough mothers arrived!

Wow. Very well hidden.tftc

Found with jemilalucy and millie after a day out at frew park tftc

Did not find this one gave up when a muggle came across the bridge. Could the owner or a local that knows the location confirm it is still here. Will try another day

I was keen to get a find today so I didn't have to wait another 4 years to fill a spot on my calendar.
I parked nearby, and copped on eyeful of one of the inhabitants who apparently thought they were alone (the things you see whilst caching!)

Headed up to GZ and had a bit of a look around. I decided to call it quits as I wasn't sure if someone hanging around on a bridge peering over was a good look. Will be back under the darkness of night! TFTH!

Don't give up, persevere and you will find!

Great cache! Nearly didn't find it! Wrote in the log and replaced it where I found it

Very intense find! Middle of the day on a Monday seemed to work well, as I was not disturbed at all. Paced back and forth a few times before spying what I was looking for. TFTC

The hardest part was fitting the log back into the cache!

Found with kdawg92, TheoraDora & Geago.

TFTC!

Found it but really hard to get the log out. Replaced it at
The correct coordinates. Tftc

Didn't find was scared

We really liked this cache. TFTC

-----
Found with cheats from gcpro.co.uk

That was nerve-racking! I'm not sure I put it back in the right place though and it could be even more difficult to extract I was surprised by a lady who stopped to chat (she'd thought I'd fallen over, bless her) while I was looking to put it back so I was rather hasty. I lost my nerve trying to retrieve it again. Contacted CO. TFTC - with apologies from fumble fingers.

Omg that was intense! Most nerve wracking cache retrieval so far! Didn't sign, forget pen. Tftc!

Take precautions when retrieving this one, clever spot!
Found with Geago Silver Sovereign & Kdawg92

Clever spot much precaution needed. Tftc

After a brief moment of confusion as to where the cache is located, a re-read of the hint pointed us upward and onward to GZ. With four sets of eyes, it didn't take too long for kdawg92 to spot it; although his victory could have easily turned to anguish as he nearly lost the logbook attempting to pry it out of the cache! All is well though

Found with kdawg92, TheoraDora & Geago.

TFTC!

An extraction tool would definitely help so scared that we were going to drop it.
Cool spot ☺

We were looking in the wrong spot at first but looked a little further along and found it. Very scared I was going to drop it great find.

Smilie #2439

A short stroll soon had me at GZ.
Spotted the cache straight away.
Now to retrieve it!
Gotcha ...
Signed & carefully replaced as found.

TFTC Gemjay

Find #1624 at 20:00 was an easy find with Palopinto, though after a night in the climbing gym, my fingers really did not want to cooperate with this little cache.

Thankfully we managed to retrieve, sign and replace it without dropping it into the traffic below.

Thanks for the cache, GemJay.

Found with EngPhil after our weekly indoor rock climbing date. I was pretty certain I'd drop it, so I let him do the business (that way if HE dropped it, at least I wouldn't be the gumby who had to admit it!

TFTC

A quick find but a little tricky to extract and not lose it, but thankfully all went to plan and the cache was logged and safely returned again

Nice, thankfully I didn't need an extraction tool as I forgot it eek! I stopped to escape the moving car park. Was most worried I would drop something! Tftc

yay, got it

In Brisbane after the Oz Mega in Stanthorpe, waiting for our flight home, we picked up a few last minute finds. TFTC

Over in Aussie for the MEGA!! WOO HOO!!!!

My second day out and about, and today I was on foot for the morning only - and then meeting mum and we were gonna pick up our hire car. So I should log these caches towards the Ramblers Reward Challnge (GC2XBA7) as I keep forgetting to do that... I left the accommodation place in beautiful sunshine at about 8am, and returned soaked half a dozen times through at just before 3PM. Crazy!

Another one in the rain. Easy, as I've found a few hidden like this in Auckland.

Consec caching day # 879

TFTC!!

For info on the next NZ mega, and to pre- register, go to:
www.nzmega2015.com

Clever use of the container here.

TFTC

Third cache find for Pi day. Decided to go for a morning walk and expand the ever growing cluster of smilies around Brisbane.

This one was a bit difficult the retrieve. Had to borrow an extraction device from a nearby tree. Halfway through retrival I had to stop and pretend to tie my shoe as a gorgeous chocolate Labrador wanted a pat rather than continuing on with its owner.

TFTC

I decided that this one would be on my hitlist for today. At lunchtime today, I headed here with a previous finder. Parked nearby and headed for GZ. My phone was a bit out, so I was looking in the wrong place to begin with. As I expanded my search, I quickly found this tiny cache. Log signed, cache returned to its hiding spot. Back to work for us.

Not comfortable being so exposed. Expected the police at any time. Maybe try another day.

~3:40PM

This geocache has been replaced.

Thanks,
GemJay.

This geocache has been removed for the duration of the G20 Summit in Brisbane. Please do not search for it, it is not there. It will return towards the end of November. Your co-operation is appreciated.

Thanks,
GemJay.

As said in my log before, cache is in 2 pieces and is not weather safe anymore, log however is dry.

A nice quick and easy find after work today. Last person hid it out in the open! Or else maybe a muggle just found it and put it back in the open? Anyway, as the last log says it the cache is in 2 pieces and is not weather safe anymore, log however is dry (Good thing the rain on the weekend didn't get to it!). Signed it and on I went. Hid it a little better for the next person to find. TFTC!

Nice easy find for geokid4 but he was more interested in the traffic. Looks like the cache has snapped in 2 and not safe from the weather now. Log dry however. Replaced where we found and played some more spotto. TFTC!

Plenty of traffic scooting past underneath, but being a work day, no-one else using the crossing while we searched.
We located the cache containers (two positioned side by side) and signed the log.
Thanks GenJay for this cache in an area of Brisbane that we had never visited before.

There was a vacant spot on my caching calendar and this hide fitted the bill nicely as I could make detour on my way to work.

Read the description and followed the compass but they pointed to different spots. Did a quick scan near the described place but there was nothing there. Moved towards the compass GZ and there, nicely hidden from the busy traffic was the desired object.

Looks like the container has suffered damage but it's still usable.
TFTC, GemJay!

After an appointment at the RCH, my kids and I decided to do a couple of caches on our way home. By the time we got to this one it was dark. I wasn't sure if we were going to find it but my kids were keen. As soon as we were near GZ, my son said " Here it is!". I felt a little daunted trying to sign the log and hold the cache, worrying that I was going to drop it onto the traffic below. TFTC!

Another night ninja cache. Parking available and muggle free.

Very good hide - did not really like this bridge over a VERY busy road! Cache was open & pencil on ground no log to be found! Replace log but found 2 x containers.?? TFTC

Second time here and for some reason found it easy this time. Tftc

Nice hide.
Kids swooped on it quickly.
TFTC

TFTC!

Yay, first cache near my house. Bit daunting stumbling around with all the traffic! Tftc

This on took me a few minutes to find but find it I did, Boy is that road busy, I walked up towards the bridge and I could hardly hear myself think for the traffic noise but I was also amazed when I went through the walk way to the ramp that circles the tree so beautifully the noise stopped straight away that barrier really does a great job TFTC Chingola

I saw this cache come back on line and thought I would come and have a look.
Parked as close as I could and walked the rest of the way.
Wow! A lot of cars at peak hour.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks GemJay All good with this cache

~15:59

The cache has been replaced, with a new log book and small pencil.

Please be careful when retrieving and replacing the cache.

Thanks,
GemJay.

Will buy a new container and replace ASAP.

Thanks,
GemJay.

I was dwn on bris for an event and thought it rude not to collect a few smileys. TFTC.

Found ourselves just 100m from this one without even trying. After 3 no-goes with solved puzzles we had to be satisfied with a couple of traditionals. No lid on this one but I see the CO is watching it.

No lid no log.

Found the cache with no lid, but no log was in the cache, so took a photo of the cache if the CO requires it. Contemplated replacing the log, but with no lid it would just have fallen out. Nice view! TFTC

Not sure what is going on with this cache.

A check on the GZ only illuminated one cache container in place.
However, the container is missing the lid, so please be careful when replacing the log that it is fully in the container.

Will keep an eye on this cache, and will replace the container when/if necessary.

Thanks,
GemJay.

I have visited this spot once before...I was on the hunt for a hide I was placing, and this spot filled a specific requirement I was looking for. Once here I looked for nearby caches, and found this one was only 3 meters from where I was standing! After a quick unsuccessful look I moved on.
Back tonight for another time. I have found Pprimes old cache too I think! But as my name is now in it I am claiming the find.
Thanks Gemjay

Found it

!!!!!!!!!!! Wow what a design for a bridge tftc!!!!!

;-D

Been here a couple times before and was convinced it had been lost, and so apparently had CO. Was here more recently and I reckoned I could see the container, but it was in a very very precarious position and I didn't have the reach. Plus I felt like I'd outstayed my welcome in this spot and might soon attract the blue lights attention .
Back today though, ready and prepared for the long arm stretch. Precariously turned into no longer held on, and it dropped safely into my outstretched waiting hand. [^]

Wrong container.

Oh no, what's going on here then? It's clearly a geocache container (and matched the advice I'd received from a previous finder), but not fully contained. Not all there as such. I think I rescued the old container. At this point in some confusion I noticed another container nearby. But it had been pushed too far in and would not respond to my magnet to come talk to me. And bluetack did not help the situation at all. It's stuck in there. So what to do. My name is in the old container which I placed in a somewhat appropriate spot near the new container (but not precisely on it). I'll claim it unless there's a concern.

That said, the spot is intriguing - a bit over exposed for my sensibilities, but I did spend a lot of time here. Busier (foot traffic) then I'd have expected - that's a challenge in itself. Cheers.

Could see it I think. But my arms arent long enough to get to where it is sitting. And I dont think thats what was intended either sadly

~15:45

Check on this cache, and it appeared to be missing.
Cache has been replaced.
Please remember to Bring Your Own Pen & Extraction Tool.
Please be careful when retrieving and replacing the cache, so the next geocacher may find it.

Thanks,
GemJay.

Think this one has vamoosed.
