No luck here today came with someone who previously found it so I have a feeling its gone
GC56KCP Bridgewater ChaseMy run of Thursdays off are coming to an end so KerriMG and I grabbed the chance for some Thursday caching. After minimal planning we decided on this area for todays adventure as we both had lots of caches to be found. No luck here for us. TFTC mcm726
Had a good look around & couldn't find anything in the spot the hint was suggesting. I think this one has gone.
Found it, very easy but the wire is broken so it was a bit hard to hard. It needs maintence
After a lovely Father’s Day breakfast with family the wife suggested I head out and enjoy an afternoon of caching whilst she and the kids knock up a meal for dinner.
She didn’t have to suggest twice and I was soon in the car and off. After a big day of yakking yesterday I was keen for a more gentle day today so it was off to the Ipswich LGA to pick up a few more caches to complete a challenge I’m working on.
Found a safe place to park the geowagon, and slipped off to locate the prize.
I soon spied the prize and had it in hand, log signed and returned safely to its place of origin. Back in the car and off to the next adventure.
A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available for fellow cachers to find
Cheers

After visiting a nearby bakery, I headed towards this geocache, electing to park on a nearby side street, and walking along the path towards the main road (and GZ). The cache was a reasonably quick find, and of the two tethers available here, only one had a cache attached. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks mcm726 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Today with an early morning start, I commenced with a hike in the southern area of Flinders-Goolman Conservation Park. Three targeted summits from Mt Elliott Road were ascended, and it was a mixture of steep terrain, lantana and other spiky vegetation, and a few rock scrambles; a tough walk, but also enjoyable under perfect hiking weather that wasn't too hot.
Following the walk, I started to make my way towards home, stopping in Redbank Plains, and a few areas in Springfield and Brookwater. In addition, I walked around the new Brisbane Lions' new training ground at Springfield Central Stadium / Brighton Homes Arena, and finally stopped and made a circuit of Spring Lake in Springfield Lakes.
I was able to participate in / complete three Adventure Labs during my outing today:
• [Brisbane Lions in Springfield](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/52ec5b27-1076-4417-a161-3e53fd947ca4);
• [Coffee Capers around Springfield Lakes](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/3497f3de-917a-4df1-acc3-0984823a82fc); and
• [Spring Lake Memories](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/42cbfa0c-0aad-4e91-8520-d44485fa6c03).

I was sitting at home when I get a call from Triple Turmoil, I’m free of kids for the afternoon, let’s go cache. WOW within half an hour she was on the doorstep, bikes loaded and we were on our way. There is a group of 5 or 6 caches that we were going to hit for the afternoon ride. This was her first time on her new bike.
We did manage to sneak in a few extra caches in our travels. Thanks to all CO’s for the afternoons adventures and hides.
All were fun little adventures and easy finds, we signed the logs and replaced all as found.

I had a spare few hours in the afternoon and the two turmoils were off on various adventures. I decided it was time to do some of the caches that the children would whinge about. I called Chamad and within half an hour we were on our way and off to this area to get some smilies.
It took a lap or two to work out the best place to park. Chamad jumped out and by the time I got to him, the log was already being signed.

First for the year!! While visiting family decided to grab a geo. Thanks
TFTH been past this sign so many times lately couldn’t work out where to park so 4.3km one way waddle now for the waddle home with a smile on my dial for finding it.
To think that I’ve driven past this sign so many times and have only just gotten around to knowing this was there
Found it! However the log needs to be replaced as it is full and it is also wet probably due to the recent rain. There was also what I think is a lizard where the cache is found so beware of any surrounding wild life.
I’m sure there used to be a big neon sign across for the watch house. It was garish pink with a burnt out E and a T that sizzled when it rained…
came up to brissy for a couple days
keen to do a lil geocaching, pretty good first catch

I was worried about parking but we were able to pull over just down the road and made a quick find. Thanks for the cache
It was hard to find and it cept on taking me and my mum and brother found it behind the sing and the navigation kept on Taking us to the sign and nothing was their but it was a fun adventure
Finding a spot to park the geocruiser was a harder task than finding the cache. Also found a Gecko guardian. Thanks mcm726 for the cache. Find # 1059
An afternoon trip to Springfield to collect some smiley faces for my geomap.
