TFTC. Realised too late that there was a puzzle as part of this so might have to come bring the kids back again soon
I just realised on this one that the scrabble tiles are all 3-D printed. Thats impressive!
Read another comment and widened my search! Found quite afew metres away. On with the search!
The final of the birthday finds and the series. Thanks to the_eths for making me aware of this little patch of bushland. Log signed, clue noted and swap left. Now to put the clues together to find the final one. As always, thanks for the hide and the accurate coordinates.
Today’s plan was to explore this bushland area with sausage3. There are quite a few big trees here (the hint) and our coordinates were out but found after spreading our search. Tftc
I love the idea of this cache!!! I didn’t look properly and wasted 5 minutes and it took my partner 1
the_eths I found your cache Bushland Scramble #8 on 7/5/2023, 3:05 pm. This is my find 5257 and find # 20 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

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 spent awhile going around the trees here… but it was Duppers log from June that brought me back out of the bush and onto the path where I soon found 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.
This was a little tricky to find, going by the hint. Found with a little persistence, at the front of a tree, near a bigger tree, under some bark. TFTC
Distracted by the hint, then eventually found it in front of the tree, but all in good condition
Took a few mins to work out the answer!! Happy we managed to find and solve them all. Now onto the final scramble!
Relogging found caches under the name Bonkersandshush to my other accountGAZKERSH.Thanks.Nice quick find thanks for a fun trail of cache s
Headed out for a few caches this afternoon and tried my eye at this one. #6 for today. Ran into Gabodire (Mooo) and finished off the series with them. With the log signed, I'm off to the next one. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
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. This cache took some wandering around, as perhaps the big tree wasn't as obvious to us, but once we saw something suspicious, we looked down to see the coordinates reasonably accurate. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, which wasn't surprising given the CO's recent maintenance run. This was the only question trivia that we couldn't resolve at the time of our visit, so a photograph was snapped, and some further research will be conducted. It looks like we'll be back in the future to find the series bonus. Thanks the_eths for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Today on my one day off this week i wanted to knock out the rest of these. Today i brought along my best-friends muggle child.
A nice easy find here to start off our day.
thanks for the cache

A bit of scratching around to find this but we got there in the end. Now to work out the final puzzle. Oh look, a convenient track side log to sit on while we try to piece the final coordinates together.
The last of the traditional in this area, and what a beautiful way to show people the pathways through this piece of bushland remnant.
Brisbane has many pieces of bushland similar to this, largely because there are so many low-lying waterways where buildings and houses cannot be erected.
It is one of the things we most love about Brisbane and its waterways. these pockets of woodlands, wetlands and forest are so beautiful.
This was the final traditional in this series. We collected the information, noted the answer, and then took a short walk back to the car to sit there and do a bit of numbercrunching.
Thanks the_eths,

Relatively easy to find. In a fun little spot and great for exersice with the family.
A series suitable for a a nice and shady walk.
Gave up on the final as the contents of some of these was soaked. A pity.

Cache was out in the open (I’m looking at you local bush turkeys) so I placed it back where I thought it might go and covered it a little extra. Replaced the bag for the scrabble letters as it was a little wet. Today I learned that this acronym stands for something different than I thought. Now to work out the puzzle. TFTC!
Tftc - thoroughly enjoyed the series. Another pocket of Brisbane bush land I never knew existed, loved the scrabble clues too!
All 8 done and dusted. A small discussion around what the kids class as a big tree ensued but we found the cache after some scratching around. All clues gathered up. All dry here too.
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.

This one took a little longer. But a grab was made after a few false starts. Right now home for a nap the Geotoddler demands it - of me!! Will solve over lunch and return.
Decided to do the Scrabble scramble with the wife and kids - a lovely reserve and a clever cache series thanks for bringing us here

Woo last find of the series. Nav was off for the one for us so was looking in wrong part. 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.
All is well with the cache.
Thanks!!

Generic Log WARNING!
This one was found today as we needed some caches to make up for the shortfall las week and what better way than do a mini power trail series. That said the inspector and geo pup headed out to collect some caches. Some in this power trail require maintenance for damp log books, and CO has been messaged to this effect.

While in the area I though I'd do the 'Scrabble Scramble' series.
Had a nice pleasant walk around the area finding the caches and solving the questions for the finale.
Thanks for bringing me here.
