Took 29 mins to find this one. Lots of trunks and gps jumping around. Mine was 9 m out when I did find it.No. 3 done!
This series was a lot of fun. First time we have got to leave something. Boys loved that!
Lots of little webs on this one! Cache a little bit further away then ground 0 shows!
Mozzies coming out now. Paper was dampandbo longer in a plastic bag. No letter tiles. TfHTC
Webs are still guarding this cache but there are plenty of TOTT around to clear them. Letter tiles are missing but clue is still there. TFTC
Part of the clue seems to be missing. Some trinkets found around the cache 
Today’s plan was to explore this bushland area with sausage3. This was the first one that we had some trouble with - the contents of the container were in bottom of the stump, out of reach, but with sticks we managed to get everything out but the Scrabble pieces were missing so we made a PAF to confirm our guessed answer. The previous finder said that the box was broken but it is fine, just needed the lid to be closed properly. Tftc
It opened but we got the log and lid back. Added a new toy to replace what was lost
Pretty good fun to find it.
When we returned it, the box broke and everything fell into the stump. Too far down for us to retrieve it.

Found it! If your on your hands and knees searching your looking in the wrong spot
the_eths I found your cache Bushland Scramble #3 on 7/5/2023, 3:35 pm. This is my find 5260 and find # 23 today. Found it after a brief search with the help of the hint. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Compass all over the place but didn't take too long to locate with the help of a hint.

With some time before work I decided to tackle this novel series… Making my way from #1 anti-clockwise… Taking note of the answers and as clearly instructed the points per letter…
I wandered around a bit before my ever widening search radius saw me happen upon the container…

I enjoyed this walk around the bush, and I liked the puzzle concept within the caches. Thank you for this series of caches!
What a lovely bush track I never knew existed. Lovely geo bike ride through here this morning. Found all except #7 which seems to be MIA. Now to unscramble the scrabble without the assistance of #7 . Thanks for bringing me here today.
Relogging found caches under the name Bonkersandshush to my other accountGAZKERSH.Thanks.Nice quick find awesome caches Thanks for the cache
Headed out for a few caches this afternoon and tried my eye at this one. #3 for today. With the log signed, I'm off to the next one. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
Enjoyed taking a new cacher out for their first finds. Might start to think all are sistemas in stumps. TFTC
3rd one found, unfortunately it had not been sealed and the content fell out but I managed to restore the cache.
Today with the threat of thunderstorms in the afternoon-evening, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed out early for a walk in Albany Creek / Bridgeman Downs. We decided to complete the *Scrabble Scramble* series whilst walking around Dawn Road Bushland, and although the tracks were a little uneven for a pram, we made it work. It was largely quiet with wildlife during our walk, although we did spot a kookaburra and a few brush turkeys.
It was a nice bushland walk, and perhaps we should have waited to have walked this series when baby was in a carrier, but otherwise, a cool locals area. Although the nearby trail was on my geocaching trail map, it doesn't look to be used and maintained any longer, so it was a bit of a walk in from the main trail. This cache in the series was found reasonably quickly, as the hide was in a logical spot with the hint expediting the find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, which wasn't surprising given the CO's recent maintenance run. We also had a small startle at the . The question trivia was soon answered, and clue and scrabble numbers noted. Thanks the_eths for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Quick find before today’s storm hits. Lovely little creek running so much nicer since the rain we have had.
The couple of recent thunderstorms look to have freshened up the area. There was no dry dust and the creek looked very healthy. Neat little hide this one.
Replaced log sheet and scrabble pieces and cleaned up - good as new! (question wasn't missing)
Maintenance needed for this cache - question is missing and very soggy log. Keep going...can still guess the answer.
On this beautiful almost spring day, we felt very happy to be able to enjoy some of Brisbane‘s quiet bush waterways. Paperbarks and gum trees were around us, and we found all of these hides to be straightforward and well-placed.
No problem here at GZ, and after signing the log, we noted the question in the letters and added them to our stack of photos we were collecting along the way.
Thanks the_eths,

Third found (skipped second), just want to mention that all these caches are all completely drenched probably because of the recent rains.

Cache was found opened with contents spilt and no longer connected to the stump. Tongs would be handy to reach this now.

Nearly logged a DNF with possible missing cache as I was certain I had the right GZ. Lucky I looked around a little more, and appreciated the method of retrieval! Not as smart as I think I am. Added an extra bag to help keep the log dry. Don’t forget insect repellent! TFTC!
Find number 3 of this series. We were not stumped by this one. Beautiful little spot off the main track here and after we found the hide, we spent a few mins exploring down along the creek.
Here is another example of an area we would never have known about without the help of the caching community. We had been looking for another walk to do with the kids with an added bonus of finding some caches. We found this series sitting on our map unfound so decided to head here this afternoon. We completed the series in order but went to the local park nearby so the kids could have a play while I solved the final puzzle. Just as the sun was going down, we ventured back into the woods and claimed the final prize. All the scrabble answers were pretty easy to work out, just remember to take a picture of each answer to help with the final answer. Another awesome the_eths series and we will be going back to finish the Sandy Bridge series nearby shortly. Fave Point for the finale from us. Thank you for showing us this hidden gem of an area. It was a great walk and I hope this area remains undeveloped for some time to come.

And then we hit a snag. Looked at GZ.... looked everywhere where the clue said it would be. Got down on eye level, poked and prodded with a stick waiting to hear the sound of a cache... it’s def not there and something has been digging around it.... Team Ireland-
And a third!
Decided to do the Scrabble scramble with the wife and kids - a lovely reserve and a clever cache series thanks for bringing us here

Was a bit iffy about sticking my arm there but then found the trick to it. Tftc
I spotted this trail in the week to do this weekend and I’m glad we did it. We had a great time exploring this bush land and collecting the clues. Unfortunately, we hadn’t read the cache description properly and completely missed the question in each cache we figured out the scrabble tile words with reasonable ease.
A quick find. Signed log TTM and replaced cache as found. TFTC. A thoroughly enjoyable trail!

Having built up the maximum allowed accrued time at work, I decided to take a couple of days off. Having been given no jobs to do at home, I dropped the geomonsters off at school and headed down to Bridgeman Downs to pick up a cache or two.
This was a nice quick find once the coast was clear of walkers.
The log book is wet, but other than that, all is well with the cache.
Thanks!!

Well I found it but I couldn’t retrieve it!
So I won’t count this one as a find until I can come back with a suitable retrieval tool.
