This hide will not be like it used to be. If it is usable at all. Time for this little Ninja to go to bed.

Went over for a look while geohusband was having a procedure done at the hospital. Unfortunately I think the trolls saw me coming and made it disappear. There was a lot of debris in the creek.
 
24-Nov-19
This seemed to be private property so I was a bit leery of being here. But there was nowhere around so I dived in and made a quick find. Thanks for the cache
 
09-Nov-19
No find today. But will be back. I’ll bring the car and rubbish bags next time. Place could do with a clean up.

Dunno why I enjoyed this one so much, but I did. Cool little place Smile also slightly devilish hide!

It has been way too long since I have done this other "Ninja Caching" cache over Mr Prime's. Time to right a wrong.

When I turned up near GZ I was surprised. This particular wrecking yard used to be known as Langdon's Wreckers. My father was good friends with "Lango".. and on a regular basis in the 1970s and 1980s we would visit this wrecking yard. So I have been over this little bridge many times. Who knew I would be clambering all over it looking for a geocache 35-40 years later?

My first approach where the phone was taking me, was not giving me fuzzy warm feelings. Plus there was traffic happening Twisted A PAF to the cache owner set me right and I soon arrived at GZ. I quickly signed the log and returned the cache as found.

Up and out of there. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Mr Prime. TFTC Smile

In Nundah today for my partner to visit her dentist for some major work, I very much dislike hanging around dentists, so pre loaded some hopeful Smile into the GPS yesterday.
Loaded the cords into the car GPS, arrived into what used to be a used car lot on the corner, took a few minutes for the signal to settle, headed for the cache, found without a problem Big Grin
All Razz with the cache
TFTC Pprime (P) always a pleasure

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... You are only as good as your next find.
If I belive the hint then the terrain cannot be 1.5*
 
30-Dec-18
Have trolled here before without luck. Previously it may have been too early in the morning for the ninja to surface or it was the dodgy GPS directing me to the trees. Came at a more respectable time with some intel on where to look and the ninja had surfaced. Thanks for maintaining this cache Pprime.
 
29-Dec-18
Over on the darkside of the river for breakfast and decided to pursue a few caches before heading back to Mt Coot-tha for cache maintenance. This was a quick find in the shade

I’ve been here before and tried to turn this into a double fail at first glance. Peruse of previous logs and seems I’m on the wrong side of the bridge As per my first visit, lots of traffic and, strangely, lots of females of a certain persuasion heading up the track to the car junkyard. How mysterious?!

Cache located and logged and ducked down as a car swooped past. Scuttled back to my wheels and not sorry to leave, as feel a bit exposed here

I realised late this afternoon that I needed to grab a cache for the day. Grey skies looming, I decided to head for this one, an emergency cache I've kept up my sleeve close to home to use in just this type of situation. I found a handy parking spot and made my way to GZ, I'm so glad it was a Sunday - there was no one about and I could search for the cache without being interrupted. It smelt a bit 'agricultural' around the search area, not sure why (translated that means, I don't want to think about it) but I eventually found the cache in its hiding spot. TFTC Pprime (P) Smile

Easy to sneak in late on a Sunday Smile

Was just out picking up the car from a Service in the way back and what pops up Ninja Cache, I have to go get these two as it perfectly explains what I am up to right now
 
07-Oct-18
I thought we might be first in the new log book,but lo and behold someone beat us.TFTC.
 
09-Aug-18
Replaced with a dried out logbook and a fresh container. All good to go again.
 
17-Jul-18
An interesting spot. A few cars went by as I was looking out of place on the bike here. [xx(]

A quick find. The log is very wet. I did peel two pages apart and added my name to a random vacant spot.

Needs some TLC.
 
16-Jul-18
Decided after work to find a couple of caches to earn souviner. Parked nearby and walked to gz. Was looking on wrong side of bridge before I spotted a geo trail . Spotted it thanks to the clue. Log book is so wet it is impossible to sign so I took a photo for proof of needed. Thanks for this ninja cache .
 
02-Jun-18
I didn't know what to make of this cache, as I initially thought it was on private property... But it didn't take too long to find (spot the geotrail!) Sadly the log is soggy and mouldy, so it was another job for our iphone camera while the pen took a back seat.
 
02-Jun-18
We Found It quickly but the log was to wet to sign. Tftc Smile

9/3/18, 6:03 pm Find #1524
A looooong day at work today, and finally finishing work (after having to deal with something outside hours so feral I won't mention details here) I still needed to get a cache today to fill the calendar square. I decided I'd make a second attempt at this one, after coming here earlier in the week but having to boycott due to an overpowering stench of something very much dead. Having dealt with something pretty foul on the nostrils this afternoon anyway, I figured I was brave enough to make another go of it, so was soon pulling up and wandering down, pleased to see the gate locked, knowing I wouldn't have to worry about muggles driving over the bridge. A quick look in this spot and that spot with a light, then I decided to take a different approach. And I very soon found what I was after.... and am pleased to report there was no smell at all here today, phew! *breathes a sigh of relief - and actually manages to breathe Wink
Thanks for the cache Pprime (P`).

Out with RhoBoCacher today to grab a couple of caches and have a bit of a catch up. Hubby and I attempted this one very very early when we just started caching and the clue clearly didnt sink in. *face palm* There was a couple of cars coming in, but after Rho searched on the one end without coming up with anything, I went down the other end and it was quickly spotted. TFTC
 
04-Jan-17
Out with Zee&GLee today to catch up and cache Smile I never knew what ninja caching was until I read this one always great to learn something new, of course once we found the right side to look we found it straight away TFTC Smile
 
25-Nov-16
Had been here once before but even on a Sunday there seems to be people hanging around the businesses nearby.

I decided to swing by today hoping that they might be closed for the day. There were still a few people hanging about but a wander and a pretend phone call and I managed to locate and sign the cache.

Replaced as found - really happy to have found this one as I think it was the closest unfound trad cache to home for me.

Nice hide; has been flooded but still there!:-)
 
22-Jul-16
Lobbed up here on a trip to the dark side for errands. Looked in all the obvious spots but failed to locate a cache. Frequent and fast traffic over the bridge made me feel un-stealthy so I let this one go. Maybe on a weekend, eh? Consoled myself with a visit to Flannery's
 
27-Mar-16
Very ninja TFTC
 
27-Mar-16
At las!! Took us two visits because night time was just too ninja-y and oft too busy of a day. Followed the hints and previous tips explicitly cause dang we found it too stealthy for a short while. ... smile and tftc. Smile
 
11-Mar-16
Dnf'ed here as this was my second attempt. I probably would have found it except as soon as I began the search some grease monkey acting as the junk yard sheriff came over to find out what I was doing. He said he had seen someone else scratching around there days before. I had no choice but to explain what I was looking for and what geocaching was all about. However I quickly called off the search in order to not draw any more attention to the cache. There's just too much mugglage here for me. Prob good for those who can come here after hours when everybody has gone home. TFTC PP.

Glad to put a smiley on to this one as this is my second time visiting this cache. first time it was raining and when a car went over the bridge all the water went on me and I got very wet. so I gave up . today I thought maybe it's further down as the water level is a bit low couldn't find it about to give up again and while walking back up I saw its little hide
 
11-Jan-16
On our way past on the way home from dinner so couldn't resist a ninja cache.
Geohubby did the hard work while I directed proceedings offering helpful advice like 'don't fall in the creek'....
Relatively quick find for us in the dark as we aren't the best night cachers..... yet! Log signed & replaced as found.

"Just going to the gym darling"
Ended up at friends nearby then thought might as well grab this while I'm here.
Did make it to the gym though.
Found nice and safe. TFTC.
 
21-Dec-15
1747 - I was out to grab a cache on my way home from work so I could continue my current record for my continuous streak of finding at least one cache in a row. I made this one harder than it needed to be by having to look at both sides of the structure twice before I eventually found the cache in its hiding spot at 7:39pm. I even took a phone call whilst I was searching, but it was from a muggle so I couldn't ask for a hint. I found it in good condition after about 7 minutes of searching. Thanks for the cache Pprime.
 
14-Nov-15
Okay, loved the description of this. I have to learn how better to do this....
Out and about looking for Mitre 10 nearby, so what better chance to go get this one. TFTC and the fund story. Really got to hand it to you on that. Something for me to live up to....
 
09-Nov-15
Nice easy find TFTC!!

Good hide. Our gps was a bit off but we found it!
 
Got it. Great little spot. Shame about the litter. A&C
 
13-Sep-15
Felt the need for a walk and the need to go geocaching so decided to pick up a couple of ninjas. No-one around today so easy to locate the cache and sign. TFTC

My 2nd ninja cache for this lunch break. I had a good look around gz but it eluded me at first. I looked on one side, then the other then retreated to the roadside to assess the recent finders logs and try to gleam some insight.
I returned to gz determined to make it a smiley when I noticed a previously overlooked clue - A ziplock bag on the ground. Another quick look above exhibit A and the cache was in hand. I signed the log and returned it to its bag before placing back in the cache and returning the cache to its hidey hole. TFTC P' and thanks to divehelen for leaving a clue for me.
 
29-Jul-15
We got it finally for some reason we couldn't see for looking- tftc

What a ninja spot! Headed out for a cache in between shifts on a busy Saturday. Thanks for placing this cache in a unique location that I've driven past but never noticed. Recovered and returned. All good here. Tftc.

Rhyssa6 and I had met up after work today to find a couple of caches. When we were driving back to where she had left her car I asked her if she had attempted this cache. She hadnt, but agreed we should look at it. I had been here once before, without luck. On that visit, I had been a troll and searched both high and low. This time, we both searched up and down, high and low. As it was starting to get dark, I began to use my torch to help me search. Double checking places we had searched, I suddenly spotted something not quite right. It was the cache!!!!! At last!!!!! From where I was, I am not sure that you could find this cache in high heels!!!! tftc
 
13-Feb-15
Out this afternoon doing a couple of caches with Selva Girls after she finished work. As we were heading back to my car she mentioned this cache nearby that she'd searched for but couldn't find so naturally we stopped for a look.

We searched everywhere we could think of and then started discussing the hint and what it indicated, and the CO's comment about being able to do it in high heels. With those in mind we narrowed our search area but were still coming up empty. The light was starting to fade so Selva Girls started using the light on her phone to help search. Eventually she noticed something and we finally had the cache in hand.

Only someone who's never worn high heels would say that this could be done while wearing them!
 
24-Jan-15
Checked and container was right where it should be, and dry too. The hint means something, but shouldn't be too hard even in high heels (not that I tested that theory)
 
07-Jan-15
Looked for this one for some time but it seems like the water level has been up quite recently. Perhaps the CO could check this one out. Sad

I finished work at another hospital, so I ventured here on the way home for a cache of the day. I went one side and the other, then had to narrow down the gap a little more to see it. TFTC Pprime!
 
23-Sep-14
After too many months(even years) of not being able to travel due to health issues, we finally hooked up the van and headed off.
Day 8 Found us camped in the Pine Rivers Showground along with about fifty other campers.
Nice clean but basic facilities.
Day 9 I dropped off Di at Chirnside with a friend whom she had not seen for a few years and did some of the nearby caches.
However I got a bit spooked by the long grass and as I only wear a pair of Crocs , I left this one alone.
 
17-Aug-14
Out today on a maintenance run across North Brisbane. Replaced container for one with a lid and an old logbook returned as it has dried out. All is now fine with this cache. Big GrinCarry on.[^]
 
20-Jul-14
Found easily this time, tucked away nicely. Lid in place but hinge has given way as they do. TFTC

Catch-up log. I have located field notes from my stolen GPSr that i didn't know i had.
Out and about with Parko's and us3scouts. TFTC
 
06-Dec-13
Trying to find this one in the dark with Parko's and seirra1, but not having much luck. After a little while the cache was located in the correct spot and we signed the log and returned it to its hide. Thanks Pprime.
 
06-Dec-13
While in the area with us3scouts and seirra1, we headed here after attending the Where will I meet you? event.
This took a little while longer to locate than it should have Red Face
We were pretty sure we were in the right spot, but just couldn't see it.
We spread out, but that wasn't necessary, the little beast was found right where our GPSr was pointing Smile
Thanks Pprime (P') Big Grin

I had driven past before, wondering where to park, so I was ready for that today. My walk took me past a gym full of would-be ninjas.
At GZ, I went the more ninja way, naturally, and found zip. Trying elsewhere, I again failed as I wondered just how ninja my hands were going to have to be, with broken glass and all kinds of stuff around. I popped up to reconsider and in came a truck. Thankfully, it was only turning around and I ducked back down. Almost immediately, the cache was in my hand. No need for hand heroics at all: it's in a perfectly safe spot. I had just tucked it away and made my way up when a young trucky appeared, to enquire after my health. I assured him everything was OK and kept walking. Muggle-dodging ninja skills! TFTC: all is fine.
 
03-Nov-13
After circling around trying to find a suitable park, we finally stopped and headed to gz. The gps said 0 metres but still we couldn't locate this one. After half modelbear unsuccessfully searched the gz location and missed the cache, the other half joined in the search and the elusive prize was soon in hand. TFTC
 
06-Oct-13
On my way to the hospital to visit a friend I parked the car 50 m away nice find not terribly hard

Thanks for the cache.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 8:55am. We have been here before but there was too much traffic and people going into the businesses nearby but today was the day. Nobody about so the cache was found quite quickly. TFTC

Found whilst in Brisbane to see the camping show.
A easy find found by geoson.
 
29-May-13
We were returning from the event cache and thought that just one more find would finish the night off.
Took a little bit of searching via torchlight before we had the cache in hand.
Looks like this area could be a real thoroughfare during the day, so a night find was perfect.
