Parks and reserves series - Donnington Park Carindale, Queensland, Australia
By Placed by a muggle no more, adopted by Chasingadve on 23-Nov-16. Waypoint GC6W92J

We had been for a walk finding a few caches around a nearby creek and were heading home to get the smoker firing. We of course had to pull in when there was no one here for a quick hunt.After signing the log we of course had to jump on the playground for a quick skoot. Its like they only design playground equipment for kids because I could hardly squeeze into the slippery slide, let alone not let my fat arse get stuck on the way down. tftc

Hidden under

I feel we need a dog on our caching adventures, so many dog photos.Tftc

Looking out for peepsNice rainy day to cache inEnjoying weather

Found with Brissy Cat.

GeoM and I had some time free this afternoon and he decided he wanted to go out geocaching. We ended up driving all the way over to Carina so we could find a few that I haven't found yet.It was getting dark and I asked GeoM if he wanted to try to find one more in the dark. He agreed and I thought this one might be a good one to try. There was enough light from the streets to get us nearly all the way to GZ and then my phone torch was enough to locate the cache in it's hiding spot. While I did the signing duties, GeoM headed off to check out the playground. Apparently swinging in the dark is more fun!Thanks chasingadventures for placing this cache! We had a fun little night time adventure together.

Got it 04/02/2024

Regarding our bike ride, I departed from the small group of avid geo-cyclists tackling the BBBB series to detour past a few geocaches that I had yet to find in the area. We had left our vehicles on Pine Mountain Road, and we rode a total distance of 17.4 km across an elevation of 218 m, with a moving time of 1:10 hr and elapsed time of 2:55 hr, as per my [Strava record](https://www.strava.com/activities/10553685390). It was an enjoyable ride along Bulimba Creek Bikeway that passed through Carindale Recreation Reserve and Bulimba Creek Bicentennial Park, which had plenty of shade.This was a strategic playground and geocache stop, and despite not enjoying playground geocaches a few years ago when I looked suspicious, it is in contrast to now having a child! We managed to grab the cache first, and then when the deed was done, I allowed baby Cottontail to have a climb and swing. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks chasingadventures for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This morning, following a catch-up at the [Carina's Anima - Jungian Study Done!](https://coord.info/GCAHKYZ) event, baby Cottontail and I joined a small group of geocachers by bike to ride the newly published *Bulimba Bikeway Bison Bash* (BBBB) series. It was the fourth instalment, and we rode north from Pine Mountain Road to Old Cleveland Road. Following our ride, we then visited a few other parks: Greendale Park, followed by Carindale Recreation Reserve which had a space/rocket-themed playground for baby Cottontail to enjoy.

As we were over this way, meeting with fellow geoes. We did a quick stop here. Signed and replaced cache as found. Tftc

Found it

Nice hide lots of aiders Tftc

Found and topped up the goodiesThanks

Cool little cache

I had to rummage a bit, but in the most likely place. TftC

TFTC Nice easy one

A fairly quick ind...on a drizzly day with no one about! & T4TC:-)

This was the third time we attempted this one. Luckily, there was no one else here. TFTC

Thankfully, the playground was abandoned so that we could search without suspicion. It also gave me the chance to have a play after we found the cache! Thanks chasingadventures

Followed the arrow to GZ where the cache was quickly spotted. Signed the log. All in good condition. TFTC

Thanks for placing this one, we luckily had this little park all to ourselves.

I found a park not far away and was surprised at this nice tucked away park and i had it all to myself. It was not long until i spotted the cache. Thanks for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Great hide! Found by youth flourish outdoors. Thankyou!

Tftc.

Thanks for this find! Logged signed and place back

Found and signed TFTC

Out for the day with PirateLinda, Amber and Geo Dog. Went for a drive to Redcliffe didn’t find any caches over that way. But thought it’s a Friday our usual caching day so we stopped on the way home.. to make Peppa proud!

Lovely day out with 2manytrailers, Trailers' geodaughter and Luna the Geodog.
Friday is usually our group caching day but the team figurehead Peppa had abandoned us to head to Townsville for the Mega. So just to prove we CAN cache without him we picked up this one on our way home from a lovely day at Redcliffe checking out the Festival of Sails.
After doing a few laps of the garden a quick read of past logs had us going straight to 'The obvious spot' and making the find.
We all took time hiding from Luna the Geodog so she could have a quick game of hide and seek- perfect park for this.
Then after a play on the swings for Trailers and Luna it was time to make our way home.
Thanks CO for maintaining this cache and saving us from rummaging through too much leaf litter

All good here . Happy caching

Replaced cache

Good cache

Awesome new little cache, first to write on the new log sheet . Quick park and grab. Thank you

A great day out in Brisbane with Team Barritts.

Tftc and bringing us to another awesome area we didn't know about!

Out for another day of caching with BJA3.

Cache full of water & log is saturated, will need a CO check, TFTC!

The log is a bit moldy and needs replacing.

Fount it TFTC

Thankfully a nice quick find after an unsuccessful FTF hunt at Alex Hills... as mentioned by the previous finder the log is moist, so I’ve replaced the snap lock bag and added some silica to help with the damp... after reading the forums, I’m now confused as to whether this is the right or wrong thing to do...

Tftc...

This was a fun find. Found it exactly where it was mentioned to be. Log was a little wet.

Obsessing over this area of catches!!!

Cute little park

Nice quiet spot. No muggles. Nice new log. Signed and replaced.
TFTC

Hi all I’ve replaced the cache with new swaps and log. Cache on!

Great little park for the kids to play in.

Cache was damp and need maintenance. Swags were damp and rusted.

Resorted to the hint and interpreted it wrong at first, which made me search everywhere but the hiding spot.

Decided to search the obvious spot, dig a little deeper, and there the cache was. Signed where I could on the damp log without tearing it.

TFTC!

Found with lisylou and mnance101 today a bit wet out today but still nice to get out

Quick find with bennyboppers and mnance10 today. Tftc

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Out with Chamad hunting down a few south side caches.

Nice quick find for this one.

Quick easy find thanks

Out for an early morning caching run on the south side. Hopefully the rain holds for me to collect a few caches this morning. Found the cache dry and in good condition.
Tftc

In Bris with the muggle family to pick up the four legged family member after we had been away. Needed a convenient cache to grab for today’s souvenir and this one was picked. Easy find once at GZ. TFTC

Found while on a geocaching holiday with tmann421.
Enjoyed the trip around and all the great hides.
Stamped TM/WW NZ, or if in pen our full names

Very nice find while on a geocaching trip with woolwood9.
*Thanks for helping make our tour around fun!*
Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or our full user names or tm421 / ww9 in pen.

This one has been on my target list for quite some time and I happened to be driving back from Mt Gravatton this morning so swung in here on my way home.
I entered from the side street and noticed there was a mother and two young children at the play area so i continued walking. By the time I returned they were leaving so it didnt take long from the to lay my hands on cache. I like it when they are in the spot I know I would have stashed it
With log signed and cache returned to where found it was time to move on.
Thanks for the placement a muggle no more and for contiued maintenance and adoption Chasingadventures

Didn’t have a pen so couldn’t write in the log

Good

Quick find to Gunnie69

Out and about with Gunnie69 looking for jewels to solve the mystery at the museum. Plan was to tackle caches around Mt Gravatt and Holland Park, and the seek the final path to the vault.

Thanks for the cache and hunt.

A nice shiny Diamond at this cache as part of the souvenir challenge. Ghostgums and I took a detour via this one to add to our jewel heist and located the container nice and quickly on arrival. [^]

Log out and names in, our work here was done so the container was returned as found and we headed off.

Cheers Chasingadventures.

After attending an appointment nearby came here to find this cache. No-one playing in the playground so was able to search freely.
A quick find SL then returned as found. Picked up TB to move along.

Nice little hide. TFTC.

Parks and reserves series - Donnington Park was transferred from a muggle no more to user chasingadventures

Have looked at this piece of land many times as I have driven past on Creek Rd but have never ventured in. We had the place to ourselves so were able to hunt in peace and the kids could have a swing. Chikinlittler found this one for us. Dropped off a TB we have had for way too long. We picked it up in the UK, took it to Lapland and then on to OZ.

After finding an unloved cache, I still had time to spare before meeting family for dinner. As I was passing by this park, I decided to stop off and find this cache too. With my name added to the logbook, and the cache returned its spot, I continued on my way. TFTC

Quick easy find.

TFTC a muggle no more.

After a long day of caching and attending two Events we just 'had' to find a few more caches before dinner and this was one of them. Neat hide and a quick find for us here.
TFTC muggle no more
Found 2 February 2019

Found with friends after an event. TFTC

A few caches on Australia day while waiting for the next thing on the agenda.
Third tome here first time the park was muggle free.
Quick find and now home
Thank you for hiding this cache a muggle no more

swapped a star wars eraser

Scoob and Willpunkey found another great park with swings. cache in good condition.

A park and grab. Replaced as found as two muggles approached to use the playground equipment. Can only hope they didn't think anything of our nearby activity.


**TFTC a muggle no more**

Thanks babe

This is a cute park and a good hide. TFTC

A day out South of the river was planned for today, and despite the wet weather and muddy puddly ground, we decided to go for it anyway and made the most of things. After all, any day caching beats a day at work and what's a little water, we ain't made of sugar .

The park was deserted here, making for an easy for me without the need for stealth.

11:04. This traditional cache makes find number 5,612, thanks **a muggle no more**. Discover our TB

Meeting up with a friend for lunch in Caringdale, and I had time to make a couple of finds. Stopped off in the side road and walked across to the empty park. A quick find here. TFTC

Out with KerriMG and RoddyC. Quick find in a deserted park.

Out for the day with nikid1 & RoddyC. Geosense led us straight to this one. Log signed & replaced as found .
TFTC a muggle no more

We came across your cache, a muggle no more, on a caching day with KerryMG and nikid1.

Nice quick find by Nikid1.

Log signed and cache replaced at 12:09 PM on August 30, 2018. TFTC.

Great for the kids

So easy traded a star wars rubber for a cute horsey Rubber. X.

Easy find in the obvious spot. Nice little park and playground.

Thanks!

Yeah! Nice easy find, exactly where you'd expect. The pencil was a bit crumbly, so don't leave your pen in the car like we did! Swapped some sea creatures for some land creatures. Completely muggle free at 8:30 on Sunday and nice little park for the Geokid

Nice one for the kids

A nice easy cache to find having had a few days off...Hint was spot on, so we quickly had the CIH. The logbook was a bit damp, but the enclosed silica bag should hopefully help it out. Took the frog and left a cog as our replacement. Kind thanks a muggle no more

Driven past plenty of times, this time went for a leisurely run and pulled in to this park. Located, signed, and returned safely. TFTC.

Thankfully had the park to myself this mid afternoon bike ride around the area so ducked in for a quick sign.
Find number 718.
Cheers a muggle no more!

Found it last year but forgot to log!

There were a few basket ball muggles around but we managed to stealthfully find the cache within 5 minutes

The sky is a neighbourhood

Nice little park, quuck find and the log was nice and dry tftc

While the cache was easy to locate, the company I had to locate it in was making things difficult. Eventually the recreational grass lover left . Tftc.

driving past and decided to stop. After battling a few cobwebs, made the find. tftc

Found and a couple of webs tftc

Driving back from an event we attended further south and we decided to make a quick stop to grab a cache. Right on dusk and the spiders had already come out to play and I copped a face full of sticky web!

Made stop while in the area today and made a find here. I collected the TB that was here and also dropped in another one to continue its journey.

TFTC

Out for a few hours before work again. Getting the numbers of for a milestone hike in a few days.

The park was empty this afternoon. A short walk from my parking spot. The hint almost threw me, but I chose to ignore what I thought it meant and went straight to GZ.

They are probably weeds, but there were lovely flowers along the creek bank today.

Took a TB.

Find #2278

I needed a find today for my found date calendar and, at 8km, this was one of the closest unfound to home. I really should have planned that better. So, I got up early and headed over, parking 40m away on Creek Rd.

Donning my headlamp, I wandered over and, with spot on coordinates, made a quick find. There was just enough room in the container to leave the elephant TB that I picked up at Mt Coot-tha a week ago.

TFTC a muggle no more

Don't you just love Parks with muggles in them..not me. After abandoning my efforts at Lincoln Dragon...so many muggles and right next to GZ, I moved onto the next caches on my list for this afternoon. This is the 3rd one to find on my way home from work. Parked across the road and walked over to the playground and 3 muggles and 2 dogs in the park. Roamed around GZ trying to not look suss ducked into the trees unearthed the cache and wandered away to sign the log. Quick find. Signed the log added some treasure all dry here but I added a silica pouch to the log book bag. Righto now to put it back..move along people oh yay they are leaving. cache back in hiding place.TFTC a muggle no more

Sooty the cachemobile was unbelievably hot when I left the comfort of the gym. Rolled to a stop at this shady park I didn't know existed and scooted across the road. There were about a zillion zippy black ants sharing this space with the cache. Scrounged around for a stick and shook off the little guys.

Cache logged and returned to its hidey hole and now for the other cache just down the road.

TFTC a muggle no more!
