Bubblegum Everton Park, Queensland, Australia

The cache has not been here for awhile, and don't have another to replace it.
Thought I would open up the space again.

Couldn't find it. Maybe it's missing?

Had a decent search with no luck. I just noticed that no-one has been successful lately, so perhaps time for the CO to take a look.

can some one who has found it go and see if its still there because 4 people have been there and haven't found it and we have had lots of rain maby it has washed away

Tuesday. Mrs Slow Puncture was out and about today in this area for work, so tried tro find a cache or two. Unfortunately, this one was not to be

Did, however, find 3 scrub turkeys.

This was the only DNF we had on this trip.

Thanks [Blue]oreillygang[/Blue], for showing us this place anyway, heopfully we will be back!

No luck today. A good reason to return to this path...

oh so close

Bit tricky but we found it! Saw a snake in the creek too!

Lots of people crossing this bridge at this time of the morning- tftc

Check this one out, the original camo of the cache has vanished But I am working on a second one, so for now ignore the title

Another day out and about with Maxie Dog.
Still trying to train him to find caches ... BUT the with the bridge moving every time someone cycled past at GZ distracted him. That was his excuse anyway, not sure I believe him.
Eventually I found the cache tucked away.
Thanks for the cache.

*shakes fist at cache* Tftc

1832 - After a game of tennis nearby, I went for a short drive and then a pleasant walk on the moonlit night to make an attempt to grab this one. I did some counting and then jumped over the edge, before I saw the light of a bike rider approaching. I thought it would look rather awkward that I was hanging off the side of the bridge as he passed, so I jumped back onto the bridge itself, but he took a turn down the other track and didn't cross the bridge anyway. I then took a look in a different spot and soon had my hand on the cache. I signed the log at 7:47pm and was on my way home. Thanks for the cache oreillygang, this takes my find streak to 94 days in a row.

Found this one after some minutes... I had to pretend to do my shoelaces a couple of times before I could grab it.

TFTC

Georode

Tftc found it just as geogirlfriend jumped over the edge to try and find it that way haha

Geodaughter thought it was best to climb over... she gets over the other side... "oh here it is"... Stern look from geodaughter and she climbed back over! Tftc!

Busy morning on the bikepath, took a while, but at last, success.

Found the little bugger while my wife did business in a nearby homewares shop. No "log" per se in the cache. Anyhoo, another smiley on the map. tftc oreillygang

Enjoyed my stroll through the area early this morning. Found the cache without issue. However there was not log. I searched the surrounds and found a small piece of cardboard....tore off a small piece, signed and placed this in the cache.

Thanks

In search of a souvenir, and avoiding the nearby shops ... aaah, good to see something nearby
Thanks for placing this cache, oreillygang. Found quickly in good condition.

I wanted to get the new year souvenir so thought I would come and grab this one being it is closest to home.

Even on New Years there were heaps of muggles about, mix that with my usual cache blindness I was in for a long search.

After some time I eventually found it, then had another muggle surge to wait out.

All is good with the cache. Thank you o'rielly gang.

Smilie #3398

Looking to fill in a few spare hours so we thought a Northside invasion would be the go! LOL ...
2 of 15 caches found this afternoon.

No bubblegum here today!
But it was almost a 'sticky' situation when the cache nearly went south!
You'll understand when you find the cache yourself.
Signed & replaced as found.

TFTC oreillygang

Good find very small

Sneakiest one to date

TFTC! With Capt Buscemi.

With LeverGuy and Wren, this was our smallest find by far! We had almost given up...

We found this geocache traveling from the SunnyCoast to Ipswich, and other cities near Brisbane and Brisbane itself
Thanks for this Cache!

Quick pick up on the way home. Very easy to find once you read the hint. Great walk

Tftc

Grabbed this one in the dark after being collected from airport fresh from the Mega in NZ, Needed to grab an Aus cache on the same day as grabbing an NZ cache to qualify for a Challenge cache signed in Christchurch .Thank you %owner for placing and maintining this cache.

Took out the fat bike with the geo kid on the back. Only had an hour and a bit to spare so we racked up just over 20K and found 4 caches with a headwind that was nasty. Been here many times but first time I have stopped to watch few ducks and retrieve a Cache. TFTC

TFTC SL. This one was a little tricky but I got there and knocked it off in the process. So after a little bit of self imposed searching I found it and placed it back. An d lady on her afternoon walk helped me too.

Found the cache rather exposed so I put it where the hint indicated. TFTC.

I had parked near the cow paddock as I knew that there was a path heading from there to the search area. I passed a few muggles on the way and dodged around the resident scrub turkeys.

I spent quite a while at the search area as there were muggles appearing and I would alternate my searching with watching for muggles from both ends of the bridge and then avoiding the muggles as they passed.

I probably spent 10% of my time with active searching without finding the cache and then, all of a sudden, I spotted something as I passed by on a muggle patrol. A quick check and I found that it was actually the cache.

I moved away to sign the log and then a quick replacement and I was away.

TFTC.

Stopped at the nearby stores for a quick look around and afterwards headed over to grab this one, we looked around for a bit with a certain cache type in mind. We had to hunt around for this one, with a fair amount of cyclists passing by. The hubby was beginning to get a bit restless when I finally laid eyes on it. Tfth

Quick find this morning on the Ekka public holiday. Cache is still in good condition but not exactly on the 14th pole just near it.

Yesterday on my way home after spending some time with Monarchs Dual, decided to do some solo caches. First attempt spotted the cache but there were alot of pedestrians about. Finally retrieved only to be stalked by some random. Decided it was time to move on. One of my favorites.

Solo hunt after spending the midday with Monarchs Dual. Beautiful spot for a cache. Easy find but be wary of "traffic".

After doing some errands at a nearby shopping centre I headed over here for what I thought would be a quick walk'n'grab. Boy was I wrong!

I was pretty sure I knew what I was looking for but even after reading the hint and previous logs I still couldn't find it. I went back and forward and along the side and looked from both ends. I went back and checked the other side of the bridge and then searched again. I considered giving up but I had an appointment later in the afternoon and I didn't have a back up cache in mind. I went back for yet another search and finally I looked in just the right way and something caught my eye. It turned out to be just what I thought it was, although a little different to the previous one I'd found.

A very well hidden cache.

Found it Really Hard

Easy find if you use the hint! If your after a challenge then don't use the hint!!!

Had to use a hint. Very clever

Out for a little Saturday morning spin and collecting a few caches along the way. https://connect.garmin.com/course/10025801

This became the western front for today's circuit

Good hide, TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 8:58am. Found a place to park and made the walk in to GZ. We didn't recognise the cache at first. It's in goon condition. TFTC

Had a little time this morning before work. So I was up early and off to GZ. Lots of people on bikes, walking and running early on a public holiday! Had to time my moment, get the cache, sign the log and return before looking too suspicious. Thankfully I had geodog with me so I was in keeping with the locals! TFTC oreillygang

Found it but will have to come back with a pen, would never have found this, Geoman had to lift me up to see it!

Love it, this is the first I have found of this kind. Glad I had a tott in the bag to help!

Just went and checked on the cache today and replaced the log
All good with this one

I had been warned about this type of cache, but it's the first one of these I've found. TFTC.

High muggle traffic zone, managed however to sneak in the grab and hide. Nice camo

A nice easy find - well hubby found and exclaimed about the shape before I pointed out that that was probably the cache. Logbook is curiously damaged for a cache so young. TFTC

Parked nearby and wandered over to the GZ. Spent some time waiting for a break in muggle traffic to search for the cache and once spotted we had to wait some more before reaching over to grab the container . The log was swiftly signed and replaced, TNLNSL TFTC .

This was like Grand Central Station in New York City with all the muggles going back and forth, but I was able to make the grab and sign between all the people. Thanks oreillygang

I had a very good idea what kind of hide this would be, but even with the hint, it took a long time, eventually while on the phone to my second PAF, I spotted the cache, exactly as I thought it would be

However, the placement was not as described by the hint, in fact his cache had been moved along about 2 metres from where it should have been, at that location it was much much harder to find. Checking again with my PAF, I moved the cache back where the hint says it would be.

Thanks, it was my first of this type

Out to grab a cache today and this one was chosen.
Parked nearby and headed to GZ.
After a short look in a few places the cache was located.
Added my name to the log which is a little damp but writable and log breaks easily.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks oreillygang All good with this cache, could just do with some rain paper

Find #1554 at 16:58. Yup, just what I expected.

The log is curiously a bit the worse for wear at this early stage.

Thanks for the cache, oreillygang.

Thanks for placing a cache within striking distance from my place of work. Favourite point for the container.

I called by this one after my radio shift today. Lots of parking, a pleasant walk, and then a short search gave me a smilie Easy as Great work on the camo [^] TFTC, oreillygang.

Nice work! I didn't really work out where I was going ahead of time, which was a shame as I have something at home which needs to be returned to our snakey friends nearby...
Anyway, I liked the look of the cache a lot; something a bit different. TFTC where the main trick is not to drop anything!

Published

I saw this one published and debated whether to go for FTF as I was already in my pjs. I decided that it was close enough to home to make the effort, so I changed back into my jeans and headed off. I parked at the suggested spot and was surprised to see that there was no one else here yet. I wandered off along the trail towards GZ, listening for other cars to arrive. Once at GZ, it didnt take me long to locate the cache. I unrolled the log to be sure that there were no other signatures. Yay!!! **FTF** for me As I was replacing the cache, another car pulled up. I passed ClubChukkas on the way back too my car.

The notification came through late in the evening as I was just about to head off to bed. I thought it over and contemplated leaving it for an early morning find before work the next day but I knew that if I didn't act on my impulses that I would lay awake for a long time before getting any sleep.
So off I drove into the dead of night keeping a close eye on the activity on my phone. As I pulled into the car park there was still no new logs so I suspected that I might just make it. Alas, as I walked across the field toward GZ I noticed a shadowy figure coming my way.
"You're too late". Selva Girls had already claimed the prize. A close 2TF would have to keep me satisfied.
After making the find and signing the log I made my way back to the car park where Selva Girls was still waiting around. She mentioned that EngPhil had been and gone, saving this one for another day. We had a good chat about geocaching and some of our favourites. Selva Girls also offered some info on a few hides that she had found which have had me stumped.
Thanks oreillygang. I hope this Bubblegum sticks around longer than it's predecessor did. And thanks for the tips Selva Girls. Always good to have a friend to call on. I just hope I can offer you some assistance some time in the future.

D'oh, rode over this bridge twice yesterday! The Big Wet sure made a mess of the bikeway further East of here...
