Logs
The rules state that the only requirement for a 'find' is to sign the physical log.
Luckily we managed to do that here today after I had collected the random pages scattered on the ground.
Rolled the 3 pages together , placed in a length of small diameter OVC pipe found nearby & placed this in the fork of the tree near where the log pages were found.
A CO visit (perhaps with a NEW cache) would probably be most beneficial.

Definitely in need of maintenance (or else archiving?) as there is very little left of the cache, only a few pages from the log book.
SAD NEWS:
Found GZ this, but cache had been destroyed and scattered everywhere. Debris and logbook in shreds.
Requires some serious maintenance. Given that this is the second time it's happened, GZ might have to move?

With the chores done, and work out of the way, we decided to come for a little bit of a drive through this area. We saw there was a geocache nearby, and parked close to GZ. The hint led us right to where we needed to go and we soon had the container in our hands.
Yes, it is a beautiful spot and we stayed there for a little while watching a couple of brush turkeys digging nearby.
Thanks

At first we thought it was the black plastic bag in the tree but that turned out to be dried dog poo. Lol
I was passing by today and had a spare moment, so made the quick stop. In fact drove Suzee almost on top of the cache. I think I've been here before actually, but still a nice spot in the city.
Thanks for placing this cache, spirekids. Found in good condition.

I looked for this last footy season but it was missing at the time. It’s footy season again and the first game is at Mayne so I found myself nearby with a bit of time to spare and decided to stop and make a quick easy find despite the dark and the rain. Thanks
Were trying to access it from the wrong side of the creek, but then soon noticed the concrete path, which led us to a location matching the hint, and the cache was exactly where and what it said it would be. #winning Were feeling peckish, so took the macaron in place of a .
The new feature showing your DNFs as blue sad faces is certainly a incentive to find them
I couldn't made a paddle day, and while out getting a few things, I went past this and with a public holiday, there was no one about, so I could park almost on top of GZ, and there were I looked previously, the cache was back
The cache is is good condition, and dry.
Thanks

Has been a while between Cache’s. We’ve been pretty busy and can’t believe it has been 5 years since the last adventure. My daughter has been begging me to head out for some Cache fun. A Cooler afternoon today and thought we would start again. Thanks so much for sharing. It is alive and well!!
Very secluded spot. Easy find for the kids. Could actually drive in and park car, so no need to try and find a park on the busy road.
Good spot! A nice easy find. The park is such a lovely place to sit and admire
TFTC... 30/10/17. Out with Tough Mothers touring the north side. Circled at the right place.
Found with the tough mothers (aka lisylou, bennyboppers, jemillalucy and REMSJW)
Out and about in the area this morning finding a few caches before making my way to Toowoomba.
The showers stopped for long enough for me to make my way to GZ, find the cache, sign the log book and replace the cache as it was.
I have found a cache here about before. I hope this one lasts. [^]
Onto the next one.
Thanks for the cache.

Out grabbing a few caches in the area.
Arrived at GZ and parked on the road and walked it.
Followed the instructions and soon had the cache in hand.
Signed the log and returned to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks spirekids All good with this cache

A quick cache find by bike today
Quite a few water dragons scattered as I rolled up
So among the 'plop', 'plop',
noises of the reptiles diving into the creek,

After work today, I headed to this one. The cache was located in the obvious spot and the log signed. TFTC
After a nearby cache AndyCol95 and I still had some time before we were due at the meeting we had tonight so we decided on grabbing this one (we were pretty close anyway!).
Once we got to GZ I looked around and spotted it almost immediately but AndyCol95 didn't....
I made him find it himself before we signed it off

Out With Sezzz
after death by rocks we walked to this cache, a little wooded area next to the train line
Cache was nice, i still struggled to find it although Sezzz found it within 10s of arriving.
She signed the log then we went to find another.

No open in the box so bring your own...we used the echidna stamp to mark our find
FTF since catcher replaced! Nice easy one on my drive home this afternoon. Thank you !
No luck today. Bit confused by the undated note on the cache listing. Is this current? If so, cache needs to be disabled
See my DNF. If note on cache description is current, cache needs to be disabled
I'm pretty sure I was in the right place for this one, but I think it's gone missing again.
To celebrate 17yrs of geocaching thought we should have a go at finding some today. Thanks for bringing us to this secret spot!!
To celebrate the flipping of the big, blue switch, I decided to find this cache on my home from work this afternoon. I found a convenient parking spot and moved toward GZ, finding the directions very easy to follow and leading me straight to the cache. I'm very sorry to have to say, however, that it has been badly vandalised. I'll send the CO more details in an email. TFTC, spirekids. =^.^=
The last of a couple of caches I had on the list of possible grabs as I made my way to Enoggera this morning. I wasn't sure I would be able to snare the cache with the roller door open at the nearby workshop, but there was no sign of muggle activity on the inside, so I swooped and made a quick find at GZ... [^]
Tucked behind a tree for cover, I etched my name in the log and dropped the cache back in place, before adding some camo for protection and moving on. Camo on the cache that is, not me...
Cheers spirekids.

Out GCing with KerriMG today.
Lucky to get a car park nearby and after a pleasant walk to GZ the cache was quickly found.

We only had a few hours spare today to fit in some geocaching so nikid1 & I headed over to the Everton Park area.
We've been very close to this cache before but not had time to look for it so today was the day.
We made our way to the secret spot & soon had the cache in hand. Log signed & cache replaced as found.

Went for a walk yesterday afternoon to investigate the floods following cyclone Debbie. I've wanted to find this geocache for ages, but I wasn't even looking yesterday! Hadn't read any hints or anything, we walked down to have a look at the creek, then turned around and my nifty geocaching boyfriend said "hey, is that it there?" I'm a really bad geocacher so I was shocked when he found it without a hint or the compass or anything
Early in the morning, no parking problems. Nice walk to "circle", then easy find. No trains. TFTC
Had the car parked between a secret spot and death by rock. With three quick finds today, this was the last stop that I'd planned to fill in a gap on the calendar. Hadn't read previous logs before heading in and spent far too long looking where the GPS wanted me to be before resorting back to previous logs suggesting GZ is 30+ metres out. When I put in alternative coordinates from a previous finder, the container was found very quickly. Thanks for the cache spirekids.
As I parked the GeoFalcon I thought the area looked familiar.
As I strolled in along the path I read the details and the hint and that led me straight to the cache.
While writing this log at home I notice that there was, indeed, a previous cache that I had found less than 20m from this one. So it looks like it is not such a secret spot after all.

Last find for the day with 1Minniemoo. Coming up to GZ my navigational tool wanted me to go down there... but 1MM soon corrected me and we had the beasty in hand. Some scribble left and replaced a little more hidden then before.

Our last cache of the day, NyssaFlutterby and I headed on over to make quite a quick find. As Nyssa and I started to head down a little to what looked like it may have been a good place, for some reason I turned around and immediately saw the cache in plain view.
Opened the cache to find all sorts of papers such as takeaway receipts with names on - I think some of the names written in there are likely to be muggles who have seen it easily. We replaced the cache and have put a little more cover over it this time, hopefully
It will stay hidden from view of passers by now.

Interesting fact. The DT of this cache represents over one third of my caching finds. Fancy that... A quick find exactly where the hint alluded to. Even took the time to play statues for the passing trains. Tftc spirekids
This is right near our place. Thought we'd finally go find it. Great little hide
With Christmas almost upon us and the silly season well under way, I took the opportunity to spend a morning making smilies in the Inner North area. Approaching GZ it soon became obvious that I needed to be over *there*, so I made my way across and passed a group of muggle workers on smoko who were feeding the very friendly water dragons.
A quick find here, the container was entirely exposed. Signed the log and returned with some cover.
This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #3068. Thanks **spirekids** for showing us this spot. Feel free to discover our trackable TGQNRV .

Calm the farm!!! We shot off too early to meet these kids at home, we still have time to make a couple of quick grabs on the way home:) I saw that there was a creek here and we might need to cross, all good I saw the bridge and was heading in that direction until geo hubby calls out and says you can't cross there it is a train bridge just as a train comes whooshing by. Seems that no bridge is necessary you just walk around the creek. My fault whoops, this is why I can't be trusted to geocache on my own...or operate heavy machinery for that matter.

Strolled over while my car was having a wheel alignment across and down the road. Always nice to find a spot and a cache
With a souvenir up for grabs and limited mobility for travel and being as sick as a dog to boot I grabbed one of the closest caches today. I vaguely knew of this area as I know hubby used to shortcut through the Creek line to get to work back in the day but I wasn't expecting it to be quite so secluded! I hadn't updated the cache so the GPS coords were definitely out for me (that'll teach me to update more regularly ) but the hint had me there without a second glance. Geoson loved playing with the metal movable bits on the circle and we stuck around to do a bit of trainspotting. TFTC, TB collected

Following the clue and not the coords (22m at GZ for me) resulted in a quick find. Left aTB to further its journey
