Christmas Bells Enoggera Reservoir, Queensland, Australia
By Secret-Geo-Santa on 28-Dec-15. Waypoint GC68T5E

Out with OG Bromance for an after work stroll. This was not our target cache, and I knew it wes in the area, but had discounted it for now as the light was going to be a potential issue as we wended our way off track Crooked Pete said there was a cache nearby he remembered. His memory was good, it was 13m away. With a recent burning off it was a quick and rather obvious find, and still in good condition. Not too long later the log was in hand. Thanks for the cache. It's a long time since I found a wingaap cache!

Visiting from Hervey Bay whilst chaperoning the parents for a 3 day hospital visit. Loved this idea. GeowifeE was on one side and myself on the other we city shouted here it is at the same time. Seems there are 2 logs, one of them served inferior so we put that in with the other. Giving this a favourite point. Might just replicate it one day.

Great spot. Never been here before. Thanks for the cache

Hot Wheels Duo I found your cache Christmas Bells on 20/9/2024, 12:20pm. This is my find 7049 and find # 5 today. No problems locating this cache. There was a planned burn through this area recently. The Christmas tree was still intact as was the container with the logbook. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Tftc. Found the log tin on the ground. A lot of lights rusting and fallen to the ground too. Still magnificent.

Christmas in July! Thanks for the effort you put into making this cache! Took a few minutes to pick up some ornaments and join them back on. Fueling the Cosmic challenge! TFTC

Out for a walk with the family this arvo. A quick detour via the trees and a great find at GZ. Signed and replaced as found. Fav point from us for something unique. TFTC

Out and about on the north side with Hatzofff and RoddyC to fill a few spots on the calendar and we make this one a stop off.Nice area, short walk and a cache. Log signed before replacing as found. TFTC

Caching with RoddyC and imbunda. Our plans changed once we got to the dark side so decided to finish a couple of ALs and do caches around them.I thought I had done this one but I was surprised when I did not recognise it as one I had done.TFTCache Secret-Geo-Santa

Still a bit rib-sore from last week, so out after a rest day yesterday. With hatzofff and imbunda. Here for the Ad Lab, so just a short hop skip and a jump.Log signed and cache replaced as found at 11:59 AM on November 12, 2023. TFTC, Secret-Geo-Santa

After a long walk in the rain, after trying all the paved trails, I found it! Thanks

Great creativity!

Great cache and awesome Christmas chain! Although log book is very wet and bag needs a replacement

Great idea, but more fun and no annoyance because lid decay has eclipsed some of the tedious element. Nice park and walk too. TftC.

Love the creativity on this one. TFTC

A Sweet Sunday saunter ... cache found, cute!

Found and “restrung” the “lights” log is unfortunately in a very bad way and couldn’t be signed. Picture sent to cache creator for reference ️TFTC!

As it is Favourite Fans month I decided to head out to Wingaap Drive today. I enjoyed the walk to find this and got a lovely surprise when I turned around and saw the cache behind me.

The logbook that has just been put here is already sodden. It really needs another new log and some waterproofing. I hope someone can fix this up because it is such a great cache. Thanks for the creative construction Hot Wheels Duo.

Pleased to visit Christmas Bells, it would have been spectacular in its prime. Definitely needs maintenance. Log pages are basically paper mache. Dried bag and added a sheet from my notebook. Thanks for the smiley and seeing this great work.

Really impressive size of cache in a very welled used park in Brisbane. Parking was at an absolute premium so some liberties were taken . Signed new log supplied by my caching buddy. Could do with a little TLC. Thanks for cache

Beautiful day for a stroll around the reservoir. Log book was too wet to sign. TFTC

Off track hide. Found the logbook but it's soaked.

TFTC

Great cache! A bit off-road but good find. Logbook is a bit wet though

Out and about with Morgo the geo. Definitely seeing the sights!

TFTC

Hi Hot Wheels Duo, found “Christmas Bells” today. Very funny cache, I like it. TFTC from Probsty

Enjoyed this one. Someone has left their bike water bottle here.

Log was mush, so we added a waterproof one.

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights.

Hot Wheels Duo, I found Christmas Bells today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Wet log good find

All the way

TFTC

Came back to Enogerra today for a visit and realised that these geocaches weren't logged from last time! So logging them now haha, thanks for the cache!

Found it!! But log paper wet!

Merry mid winter Xmas!

Cool cache

Recycling at it’s best. This was a great way to use a favourite caching container. FP from me for the effort and creativity. TFTC

#5 for this wet day. Found with Duppers. TFTC,TFTH & TFTSF

Tftc we were having a picnic 80 m away and thought we would introduce some geo kids too it.

Racing about the burbs with my bestest and this one way our target for today. What a colourful arrangement . Our names are in the log now . Thanks for such an interesting cache.

Muggle65 and l finished work and there was still a fair bit of sunlight around. We decided we had time to find this one today. A number of tracks are closed but we could still get to GZ without breaking any rules. Cache was a nice surprise and our names were added to the log. Thank you for the fun

Last find on my ride around the dam.
Interesting to see the old trails here
Thank you for hiding this geocache Secret-Geo-Santa

An interesting find on a short walk

TFTC little off road

Out for a day of caching with KerriMG. We both are Christmas tragics so we had to go find this one. What a great cache. The cache was found quickly and the log didn’t take too long as there are bits of the cache broken which made the searching a bit easier.

I met up with Willis007 to find some puzzle caches in this area that we had solved. This one was along the way. What a fun cache so FP for me. Tftc

Over the last few months I have spent more time in front of the computer solving puzzles and updating my GSAK data base, rather than actually being out in the fresh air finding geocaches. Today I finally mustered some motivation and headed out for a walk along some of the tracks around Enoggera Reservoir, to pick up some solved puzzles and other caches of interest.

A nice warm sunny day with plenty of people enjoying the trails and the water. My focus was elsewhere and I made my way off the track towards GZ where the tinkle of bells awaited me. A few choices before I located the logbook and signed my name. TFTC

Ho ho ho changed the zip lock to a small size which makes it easier to fit. Fav from me TFTC

A very crafty cache like none I’ve found before.

It was made easier by the fact most of them were missing their lids or were open. Regardless, the logbook was found in one of the last to be searched.

TFTC!

Awesome cache in a beautiful spot.

Tftc fav point for the hide

A fun outing of essential fitness with Davidwazza! TFTC!

This morning, with COVID-19 lockdown in effect but fitness still allowed, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I took our mountain bikes, and headed for Enoggera Dam. We only ended up riding the top (northern) section of the dam, when the hilly terrain got the better of us, and we returned back to our car.

This was our first geocache find for the day as we rode along the lower path, and after setting our bikes aside, we made a walk to GZ. Ha, a clever constructed cache and nicely themed. Unfortunately, the overall cache is starting to show its age, with a number of lids broken and on the ground. There is also some rust starting to form too in amongst the individual containers. We started to search each one for the logbook, and it was just as my fingers were starting to get sore, when we were halfway through and finally found. Otherwise, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Secret-Geo-Santa aka. Hot Wheels Duo for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A fantastic morning for a stroll around this area, cool bt not cold, few miggles and some labs to glean along the way. Sure, I'm in.

Following the tracks, I detoured about 50m out and made my way to GZ. I had checked the size of the cache and figured it would stick out like the proverbial when I got close. Well...it did, but not for the reason I expected it to.

With the cache found, I set about locating the log. A few strikes but eventually got there and etched my name. All done, I replaced as found and tidied things up a little to maintain some level of difficulty. [^]

Thanks for the excercise and the cache.

Found it. TFTC!!!

Great little cache my nephew loved it.

We have a large walk planned in the area in preparation for a much larger walk later. This was such a good looking cache, very happy to have it finally completed.

This was a fun cache. Starting to show a bit of age, but I like the concept and effort put into construction. First find of the day. TFTC!

Fixed up a number of bells that were a bit worse for wear. Fabulous creation! TFTC Hot Wheels Duo

Great hide. The ziplock had perished and log was saturated. I replaced the ziplock and put in a new sheet of paper to act as a log. TFTC

Been a while in between finds and Dadda Chap was getting itchy for a find. Was out this way to conduct a recce into a cache-related adventure activity I've been designing as part of a training weekend. Therefore, it was only right to hit up this highly favorite spot. Feeling festive, I had a good giggle once I landed at GZ. The appropriate amount of fossicking about was completed prior to making my mark. A definite FP for the fun.

TFTC!

I am in Brisbane to visit my son, and also, it appears, to escape Victoria's COVID Lockdown. As my son resides in Enogerra my husband and I went for a walk around the reservoir to fill in today.
My muggle husband was a bit worried about me heading off the track and into the bush but I knew where I was going. I quickly located the log, made my mark, and was back on the track to continue our walk.
Thank you for this fun cache.

Wow! Very unexpected find. Really enjoyed this find. TFTC

Not quite what I was expecting but cool- tftc

Nice walk up and down

Love it

Tftc great idea

Great one thanks!!

Nice and easy first one for the little man and myself. He got so excited

TFTC, really cool!! No log tho

Thank you for the geocache

I’ve never stopped here before... quite the hive of activity...

This a really clever cache... as we all get tired of the ever faithful eclipse tin... I spent some time reattaching components and replaced the snap lock bag...

Tftc... have another well deserved fave point...

A favourite for me! Very creative! Thanks for the hide!

For the first time in ages and ages i found myself riding solo past here and actually got the chance of stopping to geocache without the fear of getting left behind by the group. Just a short stroll into the bush. Well it could have been shorter as I overshot the marking without seeing the obvious.

Then i go lucky - first one/place I looked.

Found! Didn’t sign the log as I forgot to bring a pen.

I decided to tackle a few caches out this way as i do love a good bush walk.

I love this cache and the effort which would have gone into putting it together.

Log signed, all replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache, a fav from me.

Oh my! Loved loved loved this cache. How creative.

I love being out on Wingaap Drive - every time I head out here, I run out of favourite points. I have never been to Walkabout Creek, or the Enoggera Reserve, so this was a fantastic experience for me.

I managed to find the hard way in and easy way out, as per the norm, but it was definitely worth it. Eventually found the goods, and signed the log.

Thanks for all the effort putting this together and maintaining it!

Happy International Women's Day - go and tell the women in your life how amazing they are!

TB visit

We are out for a walk around the Enoggerah reservoir today and decided to take a short detour to come and find this one. What a lovely surprise at GZ sounded like European cow bells ringing! Nice.
Log signed and a favourite added!
Happy Christmas!

Nice geocache!

My morning walk took me here today
where’s my present gees I’m only a month late.
Fantastic cache

Great cache. Found today while out trying to spot the koala currently hanging around this spot.

A cracker of a cache! Thanks CO for the hard work!

Quick cage hunt after a even shorter swim. Geo-gran being attacked by the nesting catfish at the swimming area nearby. TFTC!!

Great Christmas fun!!

Tftc.....we Loveeee this one. Thank you x

After a picnic by the reservoir we did a little searching. No pen!! So improvised with some charcoal and managed to sign log. Did some repairs and replaced some of the ‘bells’ found on the ground. TFTC!

Great cache !

Merry Christmas in July. TFTC

Very christmassy. Good find

Found the cache.
Well constructed.

Needs attention! Cache intact, logbook not so much.

Thanks for the cache! Log is in pretty rough condition & needs replacing

Finally found my last large cache for the challenge 25 done. TFTC Secret-geo- Santa #1135

Yaaay!! I'm off on my Brisbane trip. Sad to be leaving my lady and her kids. I shall have to cheer myself up with geocaching ...

I've done some pocket queries and some research on the results. I'm trying to meet lots of targets for Professor Rapidly Wild's UGC series at home, so I'm seeking :

Two caches placed in 2000 - none found so far
One cache placed in 2001 - none found so far
119 caches of size "Regular" - Thirty-one found so far
20 caches of size "Large" - Two found counting this one
One letterbox in Qld - Two found, target met
One letterbox in NSW - none found so far
One cache placed on 18 June of any year - none found so far

Any puzzles and multicaches I can reasonably find. (One puzzle cache)

I've located enough caches to find on this trip on this trip to complete all but the last target. So we'll see how I go.

I've had a really great caching day today. Eight finds,and I'm giving each of them a favorite point.
I set off from my brother's house just before 10 this morning hunting "Large" sized caches, with some "Regular" sized thrown in if I have time. I've got the GeoSchnauzers loaded up and eager to go. They are unlucky here, it's the national park, so I have to leave them in the car. I set off down the track to GZ, passing the reservoir as I went. Up the hill, off the track, blundering about until I found the cache. Great surprise. I wasn't looking for this at all. Had to smile, then find the log. That turned out to be fairly quick.

Day 1, Monday - 12 in total, including five "Regular" sized caches.
Day 2, Tuesday - 16 in total, including one "Large" and eight "Regular" sized caches
Day 3, Wednesday - 21 in total, including thirteen "Regular" sized caches and one Qld letterbox
Day 4, Thursday - 4 in total, comprising four "Regular" sized caches and one Qld letterbox
Day 5, Friday - one, to keep my streak going.
Day 6, Saturday - one, to keep my streak going.
Day 7, Sunday - one, "Regular", to keep my streak going.
Day 8, Monday - one, to keep my streak going.
Day 9, Tuesday - one, to keep my streak going. Day 324, target 366.
Day 10, Wednesday - Eight in total;

Find no 1 of 8
Thanks for this great cache. Have a favorite point for the effort and ingenuity. The bells even ring. Some kind soul has left the top bells open. I closed as many as I coul reach. Absolutely top cache.

Another ingenious cache! We equally divided the job here. I figured I start in the middle, I'm pretty sure the log won't be on the lowest one otherwise it won't be jingling 'Christmas'! There was no need to work on the upper ones. Glad the 5th one revealed the prize.

TFTC Secret-Geo-Santa/Hot Wheels Duo. A favourite point from me.

Out in the area with E_Smiley picking up a few highly recommended caches that have been on our to-do list for quite some time.
Really had fun with this one and amazed with the tedious work that would of gone into setting this up. Well done CO, a favorite point from me.

Found this on 4/8 but for some reason did not get logged. Great cache. Noted the find in the log book .

Very cool! Tftc! Teazr, Spellzen, Chase and Zayne

Little dudes loved this one! I enjoyed the fun of finding the log . Grabbed the trackable to continue its journey!
Cheers! Spellzen, Teazr, Chase and Zayne

We are out basking in the beautiful weather today. This clever cache was a short hike off trail, but as we were approaching it, we could see it in all it’s glory.
The log book was too damaged to sign so we slipped in a replacement. TFTC

My wife and I were in the area to accumulate some points for the Cache Carnival and we used the facilities nearby for a pit stop but were unlucky that the coffee shop was shut.

I took the stroll down the hill to find this cache. I spotted it from a distance and then spent some time finding the log book.

I am sure that I will be back in the area again to get some T5 caches in the area.

TFTC Hot Wheels Duo The bells were ringing here today thanks to the local bellbird choir.
