Nope

Tftc.

I had been in this area in the past but doing an Adventure lab! I need to learn to multitask better! First range came up with nothing but the search from inside the fence was successful. My streak is still on track! TFTC

There was a match going on so far too many muggles in the area. We will try again another time .

Round the corner is a very nice coffeeshop with a big variety of food and drinks. We had our lunch break here.We came down here from North Brisbane to do one Adventure Lab with artworks and one with bridges as well as couple of caches along the beautiful bike track.We found the cache and signed the log.Tftc Porridge19 and Brother Colin

Out and about with TBUBIKESU and muggle brother Siggi to get more smiles Tftc Brother Colins

Great soccer club and nice quick find. TFTC

New cache in place.

Looped back to this one right at the end, my pen ran out on the first attempt. TFTC

Located fine, but wire tether has broken so cache is at risk of getting lost. TFTC.

Nice and easy find been playing at this ground for a few years and never knew about this

TFTC! Hard find but found it eventually!

14/2/2024 Find #6846It was a Wacky Wednesday with only a half baked plan for today involving acupuncture followed by catching up with two or three other cachers to go caching. Well two of those pulled out (theyre rather rude like that ) and the other wasnt going to be available until around midday so I still had time on my own and decided I should head near to her for the mornings caching so I could be ready when she was done. I had attempted this one before and failed. And been past it once or twice since but there are ALWAYS crowds around here. Today however cosmonaut97 and I decided to give it another crack, albeit feeling a little odd with the people around. And just as we were close to giving up and cosmonaut97 was sure we werent going to find it, I found it right where she had already been. Thanks for the cache Brother Colin, and for its ongoing maintenance Porridge19.

Found with 1minniemoo on our caching day out. TFTC.

Davinells had a plan, to reach a milestone by the end of the year. But that meant some serious caching, so Ive come to Brisbane where I can cache until I cant walk anymore.I brought the bike down and this looked like a perfect series to pick up a bunch of caches. I read a few logs and once I went over the fence I made the find. Tftc Porridge19Find #4978

Porridge19 I found your cache On Your Bike #11 on 9/11/2023, 1:05 pm. This is my find 6207 and find # 9 today. Found it after reading previous posts ie easier to get to if you go around to the other side of fence. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Had a good look under a few of the poles, but no.

Found it, follow the hint and innovate

the cache has come loose, easy find though!

I went over the fence. TftC

Came back for another look today. Middle of a weekday and the carpark is still full and quite a few people around. I still feel very uncomfortable in this location but I sucked it up, climbed over the fence and went digging in the garden until I finally found the little cache buried in the ground. You might be able to get it from the outside but it was certainly much easier to find from inside the fence.

Good spot, hope it doesn’t get washed away..

Found it
Easy parking
Hit was helpful
Dig a little in the bark

I came here a week ago when I was doing an AL in the area. At the time it was full of muggles and I felt a bit weird hovering around the toilets. Today was quieter but there were still a few cars and people around and I didn’t feel comfortable hanging around for too long. I checked all the poles nearby and couldn’t see anything so I decided to leave it for today.

Did not find this one but were in a bit of a rush. Will come back.

Quick find

Able to park at the playground park and make our way to this one. Thanks.

Today I teamed up with joojoo57 & Richmond Lad to target caches around The Gap and Ashmore. I should have brought my instead of doing it by in the heat

Found & logged using Cachly for iOS

Caching with joojoo57 and Endeavour3 today. Found many caches in very hot conditions. Signed log and returned cache back. TFTC

Cool cache! Found it in a nick of time

Good cache, someone forgot to attach it to the pole

TFTC

Good cache! Quick find

Nice place

Logging this find from a little while ago. TFTC

Tftc Brother Colin, no bikes with us this time, so just a few of these as we are nearby.

The catch is missing has zip tie with key ring, But no container.

Sneaky

Log in place. Good to go.

Hi

Found two actually, at less than 1m apart, both at sime time! One old mint thin with a magnet and one like many of this series but with ruined log. Need a new log, but forgot to bring one with us. Need maintenance

Hi needs repair - was in pieces no paper - put it back together best I could but needs a bit of love

Very easy find. Gardeners must leave it alone, which is nice

TFTC

Attended an early morning Event in Keperra Bushlands with Hatsoff, RoddyC, Snickersallen, Patrol14 and GS1947 so couldn't waste a trip without finding a cache or two. We were working on an AL nearby and a few of On your Bike series. Arrived at GZ and a game was underway so had to exercise stealth in its retrieval. At first I thought it was one sort of cache then I thought it was missing as we found a teather and top of a cache then the cache with a log was revealed. Must now come back and complete this series. TFTC

Attending planned event later so decided to pick up a few caches on way.

Found the teather but nothing attached but then there it is.

Travelling and caching with RoddyC grannysmith1947 Patrol14 and imbunda and Snickersallan.

TFTCache Brother Colin

Out with the crew to put some more smileys in the area after wondering around Keperra Bushlands. While doing the Adventure Lab, we honed in on this one.

Interesting area and we did avoid the chocolate drive being held nearby.

TFTCache Porridge19

In the area with geo friends to have lunch and complete an AL. This cache was on the same route we were taking so a slight detour had us at a very busy area which required good stealth, certainly a sports day attracts many muggles here and not the perfect time for a big group to search.
Firstly a tether with no cache was found then an old familiar container was spotted and yes, it has a log book in it, then we all signed and moved on our merry way.
Thanks Porridge19 for the hide and maintaining this cache

Out geocaching with RoddyC, hatzofff, grannysmith1947, Snickersallan and Imbunda after attending an early morning event up Keperra Bushland lookout.

We have stopped for a well earned lunch and pit stop at Mickey D's and now we are walking the Adventure Lab looking at bridges. This cache was on the route. Busy time to be searching for a cache here as soccer matches are being played on all fields. Stealth was definitely needed with little eyes wondering what we were doing. Found tether but no cache, then unearthed another where we were able to make our mark.

TFTC Brother Colin

I came past here earlier but there was a Tradie right at gz, so came back after finding some other caches and doing the AL. There are two caches here - a very old mint tin and a bison so signed both with both logbooks in good condition. As I was about to leave, the friendly groundsman, I think, asked if I had a pen as a previous person hadn’t. Tftc

Twice the fun. There are two caches here! Quick and easy find with Shazzar66. TFTC

#2 for this wet day. Easy find with Duppers. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Found today whilst doing lab, lost my pen but signed in bark. Tftc

Found it but gosh lots of muggles so retrieval was tricky

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
A bit of a scout around to find. Good condition.

Back in Brisbane for a few days after heading to Townsville for the Mega event.
Time for a bit of exercise and a few caches as I approach a big milestone.
And just like old times I am out caching with Iolanthek.
Found quickly as once upon a time I owned this cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it

Back in action after the floods.

With creek levels continuing to rise, we are disabling the series until the water levels go down and we can check/replace them.

Tftc

The area has been seriously whipper snipped within the last couple of days and the cache was stuck on the fence at eye height. Have re-hidden the cache at GZ so it’s a little more inconspicuous. TFTC!

First find of the day

A nice afternoon out with Davidwazza! TFTC!

This morning, I joined Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) with a morning of finding the *Cycling the Redlands* geocaches series. The rain had magically disappeared from the start of our ride, and it was an enjoyable group session. I then managed to target a few older geocaches in the area before heading home.
In the afternoon, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed out and took a walk along Enoggera Creek in The Gap, finding a few of the *On Your Bike* series from #11 to #6. Again, the rain stayed away long enough to have a decent walk along this stretch whilst passing by many muggles similarly enjoying the afternoon.

We parked at The Gap Football Club, and then took a nice afternoon walk along the creek, targeting these *On Your Bike* geocaches. So after unpacking the pram and contents out, I walked over to GZ, and reached around to make the cache find. The cache container had water inside, but the logbook was safely protected and in good shape. Thanks Brother Colin for the cache placement, and Porridge19 for its ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

I had been here before but didn’t search then as there was a gaggle of older ladies having a good old chinwag right near GZ. Today the area was free, and a quick squizz at a couple of options suggested by the hint soon produced the cache. All good here. TFTC Porridge19

Quick and easy find once I stopped overthinking it. TFTC!

Yay we found it

Nice little challenge. High muggle area! TFTC

Who says you have to start at #1? The beginning of our bike ride and a great power trail. TFTC

Vehej

FOUND super super amazing cache LOVED IT TFTC

Found after doing other caches because we parked next to it then gave up because too hard then came back later

Happened to be at the sports grounds for my son’s soccer orientation day. Muggles everywhere, but managed to sneak over and grab this neat little cache. Great area here- huge sports fields, Enoggera Creek, bikeway. TFTC!

Bypassed this one as there were people about. Came back from getting the next one to find the coast clear. TFTC

Taking a muggle out to show him the ropes. He found it before me!

I thought I was going to be trouble here as the business was open for trade, but it proved to be no hinderance... I replaced the snap lock bag and returned as found... the club needs to work on their sponsorship though... that sponsor ceased to exist a couple of years ago now... tftc...

I've the week off work and as Sandra was working from home she agreed to suffer the geomonsters whilst I headed out to pick up some caches. I've had my eye on the caches over in The Gap for a while now, so having never ventured there, today seemed as good a day as any.

Felt a little vulnerable finding this cache as I was hidden by the side of someone's car extracting the log book whilst kids were zipping past on bikes and someone was mowing the field.

Apologies for the generic nature of this log. I attempted something like 25 caches today.

Thanks!!

#2767

Killing a little time, TFTC.

So pleased to finally be able to log one today. New to premium & beginning to wonder if these are beyond me. Managed to find it even with a game in progress on the fields TFTC

On Your Bike #11 was transferred from Brother Colin to user Porridge19

Sneaky little bugger. I was able to take cover behind a parked car to sign the log and return it to the hide with a little bit of extra camouflage.TFTC

Avenged this one today and ate a slice of humble pie whilst we were at it . Tricked by an old standard !

Over the years, the cache has acquired a delightful 'natural pattina' that blends with its surroundings beautifully.

TFTC

Quick and easy find. TFTC

Ouch. The first DNF of this series for Team Chappy. Relied solely on logs and satellite imagery as there seems to be GPS black spot here. Didn’t even feel close to this one, though there were about 10 manky bins in a big pile that may have been concealing something...

Cheers

TFTC smile 6389 out and about with Brislions miss Millie geo dog had a good steady day plenty of walking



Thank you, Brother Colin, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Out with grannysmith1947 and Miss Millie the geodog caching.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Brother Colin TFTC *526* streak. *3100* Finds

This one was found pretty quickly, but not without some weird looks from muggles wondering what I was doing just standing awkwardly by a pole. Once they had moved on, the cache was quickly grabbed and signed, TFTC!

Pretty quick find just had to wait for some muggles to go found with Erm _the_worm TFTC

Finally out for some geocaching.
Stayed within 50km for home and picked up some good finds along the way.
With a foot playing up longer walks were not of the cards today.

A quick find here for me

Thank you for hiding

This one had us searching for a while, on both sides of the fence line. In the end we found it right were Doris62 had parked her bike - good one - tftc

This one stumped us for ages but eagle-eyed catastrophicclaire finally spotted it. Good hide!

The past few days I've been thinking about going out and grabbing a few caches on my own. I was looking for somewhere that had a bunch of caches close together, than I remember out by The Gap had a good amount of caches close together.

Luckily I finished work very early today, so I had the rest of the day ahead of me for caching. So I made my way out towards The Gap and started at one end and made my way to the other.

Most caches were fairly easy to find, but there was a few of them I had trouble with. I didn't want to have any DNF's, so I made sure I spent a little more time on each cache just to be sure I found it.

I had a great day out and spent roughly 5 hours out caching. I finished the day with 27 finds on NO DNF's. YAAAAAY!!!

Sorry for the generic log.

Find #781 - TFTC

Quick easy find thanks

Cache 100 for team Porridge!

This was about to be a DNF. But then we did. Thank goodness!

While I am in town for a day or so I have completed a Maintenance Run of the entire On Your Bike series. Two caches have been replaced, otherwise all caches are now ok. [] Enjoy and happy Geocaching.

A quick find with Brother Colin as he does a maintenance run. Makes for easy finds when the CO is along.
Thanks for the cache.

I headed out for a bike ride this morning to test out the knees. The smoke was a little worrying but didn't affect me. Lots of muggles and it was quite hot by the time I finished. I was on my way back now and collecting a couple I'd had to pass by due to muggles.

A delivery van was being loaded or unloaded on my first time through. On the way back, there were cars everywhere and a chef having a smoke. He soon went inside and I was able to make a quick find just before a waitress came out, presumably also for a smoke. Thanks for the cache

A few meters out but nice fun one.
