out on a morning walk, Clever hide quick find with hint. Thanks for the cache and

Thanks for being the reason I got out for a great walk thank you

20 June 2024 5:08pmLast one for me today - not too far off from where I was, so why not go for it.In the fading light I spent more time than I needed second guessing myself. This little one was right where I originally thought it would be, but didn't look at.I didn't see Emily today, or any of her friends.I did however keep bumping into a girl who had a lot more energy than I - running up and down the path. When I left she said she was on her 4th lap of 7 in a competition she was in. With a quick good luck sent her way, I headed on home.

Got to Gz and looked in the various hint related items, and I got it! Nice one, thanks for the cache!Coolabah OUT!!!

I headed out in the geo-car for a few caches today.Decided to hit a few on the Southside.I found your cache, Eloise: Emily today. This is my 2596 find.Quick find. Thanks for bringing me here. Nice little trail.eatmorchikin, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Nice hiding spot

I lucked in on this. TFTC

A nice rainy morning and I decided to finish off the last few caches around Mt Gravatt. I took a short walk down from the summit to this cache. It took me a bit of searching to finally find the well hidden cache. Nice one Eatmorchikin!

Today we walked all over Mt Gravatt on all the different trails, up and down many hills finding all the caches. What awesome views of the surrounding city and city areas. TFTC

Ich war noch nie im Leben in Brisbane, aber mein tolles Hobby gibt mir die Mglichkeit, diese unglaublich relaxte, angenehme und schne Stadt von allen Seiten kennenzulernen. So konnte ich auch hier vorbeikommen und ganz nebenbei noch eine sehr schne Dose finden. Vielen Dank frs Legen und Pflegen!

Tftc!

Took a while then simple

Took us far too long to find this but great when we did. TFTC

Auch heute haben mich Mama und Papa wieder mitgeschleift, um ein bisschen frische Luft zu schnappen und das Tagesdschen zu finden. Inzwischen trauen die mir ja ganz schn weite Wege zu, ich muss schon sagen... Macht mir aber ja genauso viel Spa wie denen, gebe ich ja gerne zu. Und man entdeckt immer wieder etwas Neues, selbst wenn man wie wir oft auf den gleichen Strecken unterwegs ist. In diesen Tagen ist aber alles neu. Australien ber Singapur und Malaysia, da war ich noch nie. Hier mussten wir gar nicht lange suchen, bis wir das Versteck gefunden hatten.Danke frs Austfteln, Verstecken, Herlocken und Pflegen des Caches!

Im Team gesucht und gefunden.Danke fr den schnen Spaziergang und natrlich Danke frs Austfteln, frs Herlocken und Zeigen sagt Mel_on_Tour**TFTC**()()( , , )( , , ).... ..- ** **`*.. .

Inzwischen haben wir uns zwar einigermaen kklimatisiert, haben aber auch beschlossen, unseren Rhythmus beizubehalten. Also sind wir auch heute wieder in aller Hergottsfrhe aufgebrochen, um noch vor dem Frhstck das ein oder andere Dschen zu suchen. Am Fue des Berges waren wir ja schon vor ein paar Tagen einmal, heute wollten wir ganz nach oben und haben das auch gemacht. Erstaunlich, dass hier selbst um diese Zeit schon einiges los ist.Hier sind wir auch vorbei gekommen und wurden nach etwas Sucherei fndig.Danke fr's Austfteln, Herlocken, Verstecken und Pflegen.Thank you very much for luring us here as well as for hiding and maintaining the cache !....../ ).....' /---' (_____.TFTC .

Nice hide. Gave me a chance that crest out my new GPS. Thanks. ThylacineJ

About two years ago, we came a found a single cache on Mt Gravatt and in that log we said we would have to come back and explore the trails another day. Well that day finally came and we parked near to Snap To It before descending, then ascending, then descending in a different direction and ascending once more to arrive back at the car. A most enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours this morning. After pausing to take in the views at the lookout, we continued uphill to search for this cache. Despite the popularity of the trails this morning, there was no one in the vicinity as we hunted. With a number of potential hides available, it took us some time to lay our hands on this one, with Mr DisSister having success in an area only inches from where I had previously been looking. Thanks eatmorchikin

Having dropped my son to school so he could work on some project or another, I took the opportunity to grab some exercise on the south side of the river with a quick walk up Mt Gravatt.

For the middle of Winter, it was surprisingly hot today. The lady at the café at the top even took pity on me and offered me a free water., when I bought a cold drink.

This cache provided the opportunity to stop for a minute and catch my breath. had a bit of a poke around as per the hint and soon enough I uncovered the prize. All in good order here.

Many thanks Eloise and EMC

Clever hide Pen wasn't working very well but managed to sign log in the end.
Pleasant walk up and down the miuntain today ️ TFTC

Another morning catchup with friends while enjoying the sunshine and view at this Lookout. Decided to take the walk to this cache before heading home. Came from the top entry from the road and made my way down to GZ where the first place I searched and there was the cache container.

With my name in the log, I made my way back to the road (stopping a few times to catch my breath) and my car.

Nice hiding spot

Love this kiddo. Sh is an awesome lass growing into an amazing person. Another great cache and location

7/6/2023 Find #6151
SaintsMadHouse and I were on one of our usual days of Wednesday Madness. We decided to tackle a few caches around this neck of the woods today, and with the first cache of the day done, we decided to park a little closer to this one and make our way along and up. At GZ it took a little bit of a search around the likely item before I noticed something possible. Ahhh that’s it! Another sneaky hide from this CO.
Thanks for the cache eatmorchikin.

Up up up made it for a quick find tftc

Over the Southside of town this morning for geo adventures with friends. TFTC

Thanks for the cache! All in good working order

A quick detour on my way back to my car. Cache quickly found. A very nifty hide TFTC

I came to this eastern side of Mt Gravatt today with my main aim being to find a cache starting with E, for a February challenge, of which there are a couple that I hadn’t found. I did about a 5.5km walk finding 4 caches before it got too hot. Outer has deteriorated as has the plastic bag which I replaced. Logbook is in great condition though. Tftc

This cache needs maintenance. The log is still fine, but the plastic bag is all ripped off and there is no lids in the container so it may go bad at the next big rain

Another quick find on one of the many pleasant tracks around here. Charlicorn1500 spotted this one under the camo. TFTC!

Great spot

Out caching for the afternoon with RoddyC, Hatzoff and grannysmith1947 before we head to an Event at Holland Park.
Needed to try and finish off the last few in this area. New log added and signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Caching before the event picking up some caches in the area.

Travelling and caching with RoddyC grannysmith1947 and Imbunda.

Found but this cache needs a little TLC. Managed to add a new log sheet but did not have a plastic bag. The outer case has also deteriated and so needs replacing.

TFTCache eatmorechickin and Eloise.

TFTC smile 14385 out and about with miss millie geo dog great caches, great day ,good weather, enjoying a good day a good walk‍

Gotta take a break from writing up caches! So a trip out organised by hatzofff, with imbunda, and of course, Miss Millie. Off to an Event after that.

Walked from top to bottom. Not bad.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 3:31 pm on 25 August 2022. TFTC, Eatmorchikin and our Eloise (aged 4)

Barely made it there but luckily my friends did the hard work while I caught up as said by others needs maintenance

Fount it! The cache logbook is pretty well ruined as the bag is ripped and open to the elements

Great hide but requires some maintenance, TFTC!!

Found but needs maintenance. Needs a new bag and log. Wrote my name but it might have been on someone else's from 2018. Was faded.

I found the cache quick enough but needs a new baggy to keep it dry and new papers.

Found it eventually. Good hide but desperately needs repairs.

Making our way around Mt Gravatt Mountain with chamad on a very hot and humid day, it was time to visit Emily.
I found what was once a fantastic cache, however, white ants have damaged the container, making the home for the log open to water. The log was damp and torn and very difficult to sign.
Thanks Eatmorchickin and our Eloise for the cache.

Hard find but does need some TLC. Should have carried some zip bags…well next time. Signed with a eyebrow liner of all things…we lost our pen along the way

Cache needs some TLC, log obviously has been wet.
Rob found - R13E11N1

Great cammo....but has seen better days & sadly in need of repair...but T4TC!!

After work i decided to pick up a few smileys. This was a lovely walk and once at GZ the hint helped for a quick find. Really love this cache. very clever. Thankyou for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

I will have to come and visit this cache one day! My first name is Emily and middle name is Eloise.

Being in one of the worst lockdowns so far. This is the first time my workplace has completely closed. Taking advantage of living next to the showgrounds and needing to fill my calendar grid. I got a workout in and a cache all at the same time. I'm also becoming very enthused about fungi. There was a few to find right near this cache. I made sure my hands were clean before and after writing on this cache. Thank you for my no income week and a chance to do some cleaning and working out. Thank you. X.

Nice quick find for Mrs VC while I recovered at the lookout after our trek up here!

TFTC Eatmorchikin and Eloise

Found on a nice sunny Qld afternoon perfect for Geocaching. TFTC

Found with Billy.
Park in pull over bit below the lookout heading down the hill. To walk back to trail head just walk on the other side of the barriers to avoid cars.

There is a trail to it

Found with Jess

Gave myself an hour to climb Mount Gravatt and as a bonus pick up some caches. My walk from Gertrude Petty place, along the Federation Track, down toward Logan Rd to get Edwin and then straight up the hill took about 1:15 but only 15 mins down via the shorter return path. There were a lot of track closures as council is doing a fair bit of resurfacing and rehabilitation along that path, I didn’t see the signs the way I went, but I did notice on the way back.
Emily was my last cache of the day. I was a bit nervous about crossing the road and getting onto this path, but with the exception of some tall grass at the top it is well defined. Close to GZ there were a few likely looking spots that fit, the clue. But looking inside one with my torchlight soon revealed the cache. It was very damp, but still managed to coax it from it’s hiding place.
Then on to the summit and a much swifter descent down the mountain!

This evening, I decided to target Mount Gravatt lookout and the caches in that reserve/area. I was predominantly targeting one of the Locations of *Hills on the Southside* Adventure Lab, but it was also nice to be geocaching on foot, rather than driving around. A great lookout, and I really enjoyed the caves that were hidden away.

I parked halfway down the hill, and then jogged up the track to arrive at GZ, just as light was beginning to fade. It took a few minutes to locate this cache, and it was another well constructed and camouflaged cache. Unfortunately white ants have taken over the outer cache and infested the inside with eggs. It took a little effort in finding a way into the logbook extraction, but eventually I got there, to at least see that the logbook was in good shape. Thanks Eatmorchikin and Eloise for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After work this afternoon it was time to grab a few caches in the area, and with several "E" caches I wasn't sure which one to grab, in the end I settled for this one because there was a Muggle right on top of GZ at the one further up the road, I tried waiting him out, but he was too busy doing stuff on his laptop, so that's when I decided to venture to the next closest one.

After a short walk along the trail I arrived at GZ and started searching for the cache, after several minutes the sneaky cache was finally in hand, signed and replaced as found, now to continue walking down the trail to check out the Earthcaches and the oldie.

After our walk around toohey forest it was time to grab a few others in the area. I had promised the girls a view from a lookout so up to Mt. Gravatt for a scenic drive. On the way down it was time to grab some caches. This was a fun cache and Charli was a little hesitant of climbing around due to her scare at the last cache. We found the cache easily and soon had the log in hand, lots of swaps in here but nothing of interest for us.
With log signed and cache replaced as found we were onto the next one down the road, thank you for placing this one here.

Tilly the wonder and I loved the path up here. We had it all to ourselves, which made for easy searching. This is a really well constructed cache, thank you. Everything here is ticketyboo. Replaced as found. TFTC

Quick find out for an early Sunday cache.

Tftc

Don’t forget to log it!

TFTC

So many people walking up the road today to escape their self-isolation.

No one walking along the rocky path up to GZ, though. Had the area all to myself so I didn’t have to look with any stealth. Crafty container!

TFTC!

A quick post work walk in the Bush to grab this one today. A quick find was made and replaced before any muggles came along. Tftc

Half way walking up the hill & realized we didn't bring a pen. Thank th geo Lord's there was a pencil with the log

Tftc Eatmorchikin and our Eloise (aged 4)
Thank goodness there was a pencil in this micro cache.
SL as CJH
Cheers

Loving the crafting in these! Log full, paper added. TFTC : )

Love your cache containers @eatmorchikin. Another nice hide tftc

WAHEYYY!!! After 2 DNF’s we weren’t feeling so inflated... and especially since this hadn’t been found since October... and you could tell - full of dirt tftc!!

Very very cool! We were walking down the road then went bushwhacking. Very clever! TFTC

Great cache hiding spot well disguised

Great container. TFTC

Hoping to log both at home and in Tasmania today I went for a short drive up the hill for a morning find.
I know I should have walked the best among my excuses is that I did the walk yesterday.
Cache found in good condition log signed and returned as found.
Thank you for hiding and maintaining this geocache Eatmorchikin

Quick find today on my tour round Mt Gravatt.

Love the container!

Another lovely spot to visit. Great camo lovely trail. Quick and easy find. TFTC earmorchikin and our Eloise


**The day**
While muggle daughter and husband looked to buy a car at the nearby sales yards I decided to walk up and around Mt Gravatt for exercise. As usual I allowed caches to determine the trail and took my time enjoying the bushland. I eventually returned home to muggle daughter's place on Invermore Street after walking just over 10 km with a total ascent/descent of 333m over a 5 hour period. At least 2hrs of this time was looking for caches ie going around in circles - lol.

Out for the day with nikid1 finding some caches on Mt Gravatt. Well we bush bashed our way into this one from where we had parked only to find the lovely path right near the cache when we arrived at GZ - ah well we had a pleasant walk back to the car! Great cache container.
TFTC Eatmorchikin & Eloise

Took the T4 track to GZ took the T1.5 track back to the car. Found the well constructed cache easily enough once we found our breathe. TFTC Eatmorchikin and our Eloise (aged 4)

Good find well hidden

Found

Downhill on a paved surface. That's how I like it!
Climbed up from the road, walked past GZ, retraced my steps and a quick find followed.

All good here. A FP for the construction of this one.

**TFTC eatmorchikin**

A quick find here, with no disturbance of the environment required as suggested in the previous post. My only trouble was with the nicely crafted container, as the log had worked its way well down into its hidey hole, and it took a few minutes of using a gentle rocking technique to extract it. (At first I thought the actual container was missing.) All good in the end, and I placed the stopper back more gently at the top in the hope that it stays there for easier access to the log. Nice one, eatmorechikin and Eloise – thanks!

Too many options for us to look. Did look for awhile but not a big fan of disturbing the environment in that way so continued on our walk.

Great cache, the effort to blend is cool

Second of the series we have found...very nice cache and thankyou

Very original cache
TFTC

Terrible !! I love it ! Thanks For the Cache !!

A great walk on this lovely mountain on Sunday morning. We took time, since the weather is now a little more mild to see if we could find a few geocaches along the way. We found this one with no trouble and really enjoyed the little Trail that lead up to GZ. On the way up we stopped at the look out to see your beautiful view. Thanks for bringing us this way
Domsky

Nice cam job and challenge. Thanks

It was one of those days where the weather was just toooo good to be sitting around the house.

While staying very close by, I thought that I would get out into nature and explore the surrounding area, and the reason why it is called Mount Gravatt.

It was a lovely walk to this cache where I took a few moments just to take it all in and examine this nicely made geocache before signing my name among the others before more.

Sorry, this log is four years late... Let's just say that I am catching up. (Who am I kidding, there are hundreds to still be logged.)

Bit of a bushwhack until we found the right path.

Emily is enjoying her time on the top of Mt G mountain. We dropped in to say hi and to check on her, whilst on our way down from replacing the Eloise cache up the top! Thanks for the favourite points on this one everyone- 20 wow.... Feeling the love.

Tftc! Hi from Sydney

Cool cache. Very well camouflaged. Great spotting Blake

Over visiting from NZ and out to find some of the local caches whilst out sightseeing. Went to the top of Mt Gravatt today and then headed back down the hill to find parking to be able look for this one. Managed to find a spot just down from the earthcache lookout and then walked back up the hill to the track entrance.

A short walk up the track and an interesting feature caught my eye, and the GPS said the cache was also close at hand. It didn't take long and I was able to log my signature as well to the nicely made cache. I am really loving the thought and effort that has gone into the caches I've found so far in the Eloise series and I will have to try to make time to come back and look for the others. Another fav from me. TFTC

Found with Close-by on a stunning winter day. Parked by side of the road on the way back down the hill and did a bit of bush-bashing. TFTC

Anice walk with Shanclose. TFTC

Great find, love the effort put into the container. Found it without to much hassel
