The Weight Narangba, Queensland, Australia

Caching with Muggle Jane today. Cache in good condition nice and dry. Dropped off trackable to continue on its journey.

With a free Sunday and a need to do my fair share of fuelling the rocket for our alien friends, I decided to use the morning to try and get 20 quick caches. Luckily I have only recently moved to the north side so there were plenty of suburbs to choose from. Today I chose Narangba. Lots of park and grabs. Lots of little walks. A successful morning.

Dont know how I missed that last time but it was prob one of my first, log signed and item added

Found it. First one of the afternoon. 8/6/2024

Was either a DNF or found but unwilling to dig through ants!!

As its leap year day today I thought Id run out between clients and find a cache to write this date down.Thanks for the hide

Having recently moved to the area (from not too far away), I am excited to now clear out the local caches around my new home. Today I was heading out and found a few along the main road, so decided to grab them while I had some time. It was interesting to learn more about the rail system while logging these. The hint for this cache had me stumped - I must have missed the connection. As usual, making things far more complicated than needed, I initially overlooked the simplicity of this cache. All in good condition, TFTC.

A driveby cache that was found reasonably quickly, with the cache container and logbook in good shape. I understood the cache's name from seeing the nearby railway line and relevant object, and I enjoyed reading about their purpose; I wondered how many other commuters know of their reasoning, despite travelling past these everyday? Thanks [Slow Puncture (LJCC)](https://coord.info/PR7770T) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today, a scheduled Lake Kurwongbah paddle by way of the [Kurwongbah Breakfast Paddle](https://coord.info/GCAH20P) event was the morning's plan, and I joined a small group of keen participants who braved the slight drizzle that occurred. Following a couple of priority geocaches in Petrie and Joyner, we parted ways with a bakery coffee and savoury/sweet.With no other definitive plans, I then took an anti-clockwise circuit of Lake Kurwongbah, travelling through Kurwongbah, Dakabin, and Narangba, before returning south and stopping off at various scenic vantage points over the respective lake and Lake Samsonvale nearby. It was then a final walk through Mungarra Reserve finding a few witches, and then I made my way south back home.

I like Fridays as I get to finish work at 12, this now gives me a chance to head out and collect some caches. Today I headed up to the Narangba area for a couple of caches and a particular cache for a challenge that I signed while I was in Sweden. I finally got out of work at 2 and started my quest only to hit the traffic heading north. I finally got up to my goals and got in just four caches before I had enough and headed home. This was my last cache for today. I parked right beside the cache and after a little search around I noticed the cache. I signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thank you so much for the cache, the hide and for bringing to this area.

TFTC found with ButterflyVenom

Nice hiding spot! Tyftc

Found it with Lukas

Found with Kittylandings

I found a nice clean log to sign. Thanks for the fun Slow Puncture (LJCC)

The SPs were out on a maintenance run today. The container was broken on top and had suffered water damage, so both the container and logbook have been replaced, the container being made from something more sturdy. Ready to go!

Interesting engineering lesson. Needs replacing, container broken and log now saturated. TFTC

Good little hide.
The cashe is broken due to weather conditions. But paper all good. Tftc. Was looking up every where..️

Great spot

Easy find

We went for a nice drive around the area this morning before the forecasted rain event arrives and this is a cache we found. All good with this one, log signed and replaced as found. Thanks Slow Puncture.

Tftc and the info
All good here

Slow Puncture (LJCC) I found your cache The Weight on 26/9/2022, 12:10 pm. This is my find 4287 and find # 5 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Out for the day with nikid1 to find some challenge cases & whatever else we happen to come across. It was a nice quick find at GZ.
Thanks for the cache Slow Puncture

Out for a day of caching with KerriMG. Interesting story, thanks for that.
At GZ it was a quick find. As previously mentioned the lid is broken but the log is nice and dry.

TFTC Slow Puncture (LJCC)

Good hiding place, containers lid is cracked may need replacing.

On the Northside of Brisbane to get some much needed caches and this happened to be on my list. Parked the car close to GZ and a short walk. Quick find in an obvious spot. I left my signature before I replaced as found. TFTC

Back in Dakabin for major Caravan Repairs. [xx(] After dropping our home on wheels into the repairer we decided to tackle a few caches to try and improve our spirits.

We found your cache and only had 1 DNF today and we also managed some shopping before the rain stopped play.

Headed out for a few caches this afternoon and tried my eye at this one. #2 for today. With the log signed, I'm off to the next one. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Found it

Had to get the iPhone for this one as the normal phone has accuracy issues
Thank you for hiding this geocache Slow Puncture

This is fascinating! I had no idea there were even weights on the wires! wow. Wait till I get home and tell the family - who may already know this. I parked in the nicely provided place and headed in to look in all the possible spots at least twice before looking at the one which was a bit different. well very different but also very at home. logged and left a pathtag. thanks heaps for the lesson. Especially the knew vocab!

Out enjoying a big day of socially distant caching from Kallangur to Morayfield... After using Renaldo as a step ladder down the road, this was my next stop...

I managed to make this much harder than it needed to be, but I eventually located the cache in the exact spot you would expect it to be...

I replaced the snap lock bag and returned everything as found.... tftc...

A great cache page full of info. Enjoyed the read while waiting for a little break in traffic before heading over. Managed to get poked in the face with the sharp stuff

One of the great things about geocaching is that there is always something new to learn about a whole range of things and this was no exception. Thanks for the info. A nice quick find with a nice dry logbook though the baggy has been split in two. TFTC

This is one of the reasons to read cache descriptions. You might just find it full of interesting information! La Kedi gave us the rundown as we headed to GZ where The Marble made the find. TFTC Slow Puncture (LJCC)

I was too busy reading aloud the information about the catenary and pantographs to even look for the quiche – luckily The Marble was not. She had it out before I had quite finished my dissertation. I found it really interesting to learn about it as I hadn’t ever thought about it before.
TFTC, Slow Puncture (LJCC). =^.^=

A quick park and grab on the way home today before lock down begins. Some light rain and slippery mud approaching gz wasn't enough to stop me grabbing this one. No trains went by while there sadly. Very interesting info about the weights and wires. TFTC

Another quick find . All's good at gz . Thanks Slow Puncture

This one kept its self hidden for a good 5 to 10 mins before revealing itself

Tftc

I think the ants are starting to claim this as their own. TFTC

A trip up from the Gold Coast and meeting up with a lovely group of geo friends in search of a few caches in this local area.
Good hide found quickly then had a few laughs listening to RoddyC's weight/wait jokes.

Found January 30, 2020

Another day of caching with geofriends in the area and targetting caches on our hit list. Stopped for a quickie, SL then returned as found.

Found on 30 January 2020 at 9.21am. TFTC, Slow Puncture.

Hatzofff, Snickersallan, Richmond Lad and patrol14 are with me caching some more on the north side.

Didn't have to weight long before this one was located.

Cool hide. Quick stop on the way home.

Another happily quick find on the way home from work . Seems this is all I do lately tftc

Xanthorrhoea! Saw the cache well b4 I got to it, so left it with a more generous covering. Thanks for a great morning stroll, collecting caches with a 100% success rate so far

I found a pen right by GZ so I focused around that spot, but without luck I moved on slightly from that location and then found something that went along with the hint and spotted the cache right away. TFTC

Found with Quesera on a lovely day of caching thank you for placing this cache here

It was getting late so this was sharpem and my last cache for today. At gz we soon spotted the cache. No trains today. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Cache a day to keep the doctor away TFTC Slow Puncture #696 Finds

When we where trying to find the cache a train went past and I almost shit my pants

TFTC

TFTC Interesting

Nice quick find.

Thanks!!

Found. Always love to find one of these plants.

There was a prodding stick close by which you took advantage of and this was a quick find.

Thx spook

Away from the road. After the train went past it was all good.

By now I knew 1MinnieMooJnr was already getting close to wanting us to head home, but I managed to convince her of my intention of just a couple more by showing her they were just the ones on the direct route from here back to the highway.
I found this one just as a train went past.
Thanks for the cache Slow Puncture (LJCC).

Great fun find tftc

Quick find
Hint make sense

Got it TFTC

Awesome

Found by the sharpest thing we could see, but it wasn’t where our GPS had told us to go. Took the car for a macaron (if anyone’s feeling peckish ).

Suffering from cache blindness must have checked the cache hiding place 5 times as we figured it was the best spot according to the clue eventually, about to give up we finally found it. TFTC

After reading the hint, it was quick easy cautious find. TFTC Slow Puncture(LJCC)

Found by the better half who is getting back into caching......and getting a little competitive!!!

Quick easy find

Is a bit spiky
TFTC

Thanks to the hint

Beautiful Geowife went straight to where her intuition told her to look but she didn't find it. Hubby, curious at her choice checked it out and sure enough it was there. Nice hide.

Great little hide and learnt something new! Tftc

A great hide - and the explanation on the workings of the overhead lines... It also reminds me (geoMs) of a ditty back in primary school that the railways sent out as a safety message - "don't get zapped don't get fried, keep away and stay alive" teaching young ones not to climb these parts or fly kites etc... GeoMs dad was a model train enthusiast but steam and diesel ones that run from a much smaller transformer

9th find with Lamb64 today, what a great day, thanks for driving Lamb64.
Thanks Slow Puncture!!!

Soooo.. gotta find a cache today for a "souvenir" eh? When did I start becoming a slave to these souvenirs??

Mr Boss Man asked me to pull over on the way to a job as he might need me to divert to a freight depot. Don't mind if I do take 5 minutes to find a nearby cache.

This one was the nearest I hadn't found. So close to home.. and I hadn't found it in nearly 4 years. For shame I parked up and my various smartphone apps were playing silly buggers but eventually settled down. I spotted the prize after a brief hunt. I signed the log and re-hid the cache - nicely tucked and invisible to the muggle eye.

A well-written description explaining something I have always wondered about (I do love infrastructure - rail and otherwise).

Souvenir gotten. Cache found. Something learnt. Job done TFTC Slow Puncture

Out on a maintenance run today. Replaced the container, a pox on whomsoever destroyed it, all is good here now.

However...if it is properly hidden there is no way known that any random passer by (not that there are likely to be many right here) will find it. So please place it snugly back underneath the coverage.

Rant over.

Found this one out in the open. Container is destroyed. Log book has been wet.

As we approached GZ we found the cache out in the open and upside down. We started pondering on how the cache could have moved to its resting spot. An organized army of ants was the first to be dismissed. The "force" was also ruled out as I tried to get it to return and I am the most powerful Jedi I know. I don't think it was the wind or rain so it will remain a mystery to us. After signing the log the daughter and I had a quick game of hide-and-seek before continuing our journey. tftc

Found this one quite quickly and signed replaced and moved on, TFTC

Another nice quick find. Tftc

Found by geosister while I was looking somewhere else. TFTC.

Easy find. TFTC

Good cache

swops taken and left. thanks for placing this cache and the explanation re the weights. the things one learns when caching. sl

With my mum leaving, and hubby's birthday approaching, forgot to log this one. Now one month later, coming back from a little detour in Narangba, we noticed: not registered on our internet. tftc

Found it with bikesu

Found with Remsjw, bennyboppers, Krazy Krissy and Geokid_Madison.

A quick find with misssusan and remsjw tonight

Tough Mothers day out with the geokids. Bless school holidays. Now down to the park and grab mode.

Quick find on the way to work. TFTC

TFTC GPS was a bit bouncy but found it in the end. Log signed and cache replaced where found

Early morning start this morning left home 4:00am heading South towards Brisbane to try for some of the caches I didn't have time for yesterday ans also to have a wander though some new locations and have some fun and a adventure.

Stopped to pick this one up on the way to the station this morning. The hint made it really easy and found straight away. I managed to locate it in between 2 trains passing. The information was really interesting, something I did not know. Thanks for the cache, Slow Puncture!

Quick easy find after some mountain biking in the area. Tftc

Playing cards last night with the radio on and this song was played. No help from Annie was needed to find this cache. TFTC Slow Puncture
