Downfall'n - The 7th Brigade Chermside, Queensland, Australia
By Mr Jaiger on 18-Feb-17. Waypoint GC70NVB

I had some time between dropping off hubby at the airport and the event at Chermside West. Wanting a multi, I chose this one. Being a quiet Sunday morning, I found a park up the road and made my way to gz. Interesting information boards - I found all of the information and got the green light, then walked to gz where the cache was quickly found. Logbook signed and replaced as found. Tftc

In honor of my Grandpa, who fought in both WW1 & WW2, I had to do this cache. Answers located - Cache found & signed. And all without disturbing the guy sleeping on the bench at the 7th Brigade Park! TFTC!

Found with GS1947 Thanks for creating, placing and maintaining for our enjoyment Party time GCARTY0 - 05 October 2025 Sunshine Coast

Finally made it back down and were able to make a quick find at GZ. Luckily no snakes around and signed and replaced as found. TFTC

The homeless person may have moved on as only their pillow was left behind. No snakes but plenty of KFC Thank youMr Jaiger for placing this game piece here, showcasing this lovely area and contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!

The KittyHawke was a bloody good plane. 1903 rock on brothers. Found in the bathroom behind the bedroom! Resident not there!! Found on the 2024 epic Norfolk Island jaunt. Of course there was caching enroute. This was one of them!! Thanks Mr Jaiger and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

Unfortunately there seems to be someone sleeping in a tent at ground zero. Thought best not to disturb

A target cache.TFTMulti Mr Jaiger

Filling my Mukti grid is going to take me a couple of years to complete but everyone I get counts.This was a quick and easy one. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Couldnt find it

While the car was getting a service, I collected smiley faces in the area. Certainly got the step count up today.I found your cache, Downfall'n - The 7th Brigade today. This is my 3079 find.Mr Jaiger, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Mr Jaiger I found your cache Downfall'n - The 7th Brigade on 12/2/2024, 9:55am. This is my find 6386 and find # 2 today. 2nd attempt after my DNF last year. Searched again but this time widened my search area. Soon heard the familiar sound after poking around with my hiking pole. Approximately 8 meters from the path, there is one photo that does help. Logbook soaked, placed a piece of paper in a snap lock bag to sign. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

I decided to get about out for a bit and tackle this cache.I arrived at the first waypoint to find evidence of someone living there. A nice new pillow.. blankets.. groceries. But no one to be spotted. I decided to take photos of the information boards and move away from GZ. This ended up being a good plan - as the owner of the items returned shortly after.It took me about 20 minutes of hunting through my photos before I had all the correct answers. Searching at GZ was another 10 minutes or so before I spotted the prize. I must have inadvertently exposed it in my search. I signed the log and returned the cache to its home.A good little spot for a multi and its always good to learn about some local history. TFTC Mr Jaiger

We solved the puzzle and got the right coordinates, but after a good search of the GZ we couldn't find the cache. Will try again another time. Thanks for the interesting history lesson!

Second attempt in 12 months. iphone coordinates didnt help, but Garmin was super accurate. Got it this time. TFTC

We were well ahead of time for a nearby event, so we decided to get some more smileys in Brisbane.

We looked for the requested Infos and then for the cache which wouldn't mind a bit of TLC.

Tftc Mr Jaiger

TFTC smile 16723 out and about on a lovely day sign as GS1947 on small logs Signed and replaced came back this month for a Event at Chermside had a better look and it was there the little cars are rusted the log book is a little damp but was able to sign, FP
Thank you, Mr Jaiger, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Mr Jaiger I didn’t find your cache Downfall'n - The 7th Brigade on 22/4/2023, 1:50 pm. Gathered all the required information and received the green tick from the geochecker. Nothing found at GZ except rubbish.

Great cache!

Spent quite a while gathering the info, got the green “success” tick, but sadly no success with finding the actual cache. Lots of rubbish at GZ, so a CITO activity would assist future searchers to avoid looking too conspicuous. No joy for me today.

Geochecker gave me the green tick but gz was overgrown. Couldn’t locate it today. TFTC

Found the coordinates easily and had the green tick from the geochecker. However once we arrived at GZ, the area was overgrown and bit reluctant to put our hands in after seeing the log with the snake! Maybe we’ll try next time after the gardeners visit the area.

We both love military history so this was a very interesting cache for us. We collected all the necessary numbers from the information boards and after a short stroll to the GZ, we spotted the cache, signed the log and we on our way again in no time. TNLNSL TFTC

Quick read revealed the necessary details- went the harder way- cache before parkrun

I was visiting Brisbane attending an in service and enjoyed the short walk to the northern side of the Chermside Shopping Centre to read the information plaques.
Found the required information easily enough and confirmed that the coordinates were correct. Made the short walk to locate the cache and sign the log sheet.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.

Whilst visiting Chermside shopping centre on 2/10/2021, I ended up visiting this display area, and collected the answers/numbers required for GZ. After getting a set of coordinates that the GeoChecker liked, I decided to defer my find until another day, of which appeared to be today. I did really enjoy this multi-cache, and none of the questions/answers posed an issue.

This evening, I parked nearby, and took a short walk back, where the cache was found reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, although the logbook looks like it has had a rat gnawing at it, going by a few holes through it. Thanks Mr Jaiger for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

A quick multi & short walK to GZ. The logbook is dry & useable but has seen better days. Camo on the container is coming off so is extremely noticeable & could possibly be muggled TFTC

Tftc loved the history here. Nice park. Thank you for bringing me here.

We are out very early to pick up some caches before peole arrive to spend a day in the park. The needed information was gathered quickly and we learned a lot about The 7th Brigade. The cache was located, signed and hidden again. Thank you Mr Jaiger for placing this cache.

Relogging found caches under the name Bonkersandshush to my other accountGAZKERSH.Thanks.This was a fun multi with lots of great infoWhen we lifted the cage we noticed it had a very cute cache guardian a young snake so next finder please use caution.The guardian moved away when cache was replaced bit could still be aroundThanks for the cache

Great cache

Found with bonkers and shush

TFTC

This was a fun multi with lots of great info

When we lifted the cage we noticed it had a very cute cache guardian a young snake so next finder please use caution.

The guardian moved away when cache was replaced bit could still be around

Thanks for the cache

Found with Commando04 while the rest of the family were exploring the awesome playground. Answers were quickly found and so was the container. TFTC.

Finally catching up with logging.

Family day out. Might have been fourth visit for Barb, but no not all of us had the find...till now.

TFTC

fourth visit lol

think we all have smiley faces on this now

Cool

While visiting the nearby mega centre I thought I’d check out this cache... some the photos here were fascinating... it didn’t take long at all to calculate a final... thankfully it wasn’t a long walk in the drizzle...

Oh... and I’ve left my backpack and all my supplies in the car... this cache really could do with some TLC... Time permitting I may return with the required supplies... TFTC...

So in the time it took to complete my shopping and get back to the car, the heavens have opened up...

So back into the mega centre to park Renaldo... I’ve replaced the container, and although it’s not sistema, it should keep more water out and was the closest to “regular” that I had with me... I’ve also double bagged the log, added some silica to help with the damp and transferred the two pieces of swag across... I hope this meets with the CO’s approval...

Always enjoy reading about the history of the areas we visit and this was no exception. Found the cache unfortunately it’s both ends have large holes and really needs replacing. Something’s been into chew the logbook but it is still writable . TFTC

An interesting read here gathering the answers to lead us to GZ. We found the damaged cache container with a large hole. The log book is still OK to write in but it has been chewed. TFTC Mr Jaiger

TFTC! Mooo...

After making the required calculations at the first waypoint I headed off to GZ where the required GPS circling was completed I narrowed in on the cache. I looked right over it to start with but eventually made the find. Tftc Mr Jaiger

With the rest of the family away for the weekend I had the whole day free to myself. I don't often get a chance to cache over on the North side of town so today was the perfect opportunity to rectify this and pick up some solved puzzles and other caches in my to-do database.

Roadside parking was at a premium around the listed coordinates so I chose instead to park at the nearby Kidspace playground, where there were plenty of parks, and walk up to GZ. I was nearly at the starting point when I realised I had left my notepad back at the car. Fortuitously there was a bottle shop paper bag laying on the ground nearby - notebook and CITO all in one!

It took a little time to read all of the signs, one of which I had overlooked , and obtain all the required information. Off to GZ for a short search which soon revealed the cache. The container has multiple holes gnawed through the bottom and the damp logbook has provided a meal for many an ant judging by the numerous holes chewed in the now swiss cheese pages. Found a spot to apply my stamp and replaced the cache in its hide. TFTC

Before heading across the road to do a bit of Christmas shopping we stopped in here.
It was interesting reading the info and finding the required answers.
Once done we found the cache after a short search.
The container has a hole in it and a couple of critters have enjoyed the log book as a tasty meal.
There was still enough there to sign our name in though.
TFTC

Nice to learn some local history. TFTC

I collect the info, then went to find the final. Nice quick find. TFTC,

Quick multi near a great park. Thanks for sharing the history of the area

Nice quick multi.
Thanks for the cache Mr Jaiger. Enjoyed the hunt with Tenkae and Snickersallan.

On a day trip up from the Gold Coast and did this neat little multi which had us grabbing a quick find once at GZ, thanks CO.

TFTC Mr Jaiger
Found August 15, 2020

A nice bit of history and then a fairly quick grab. Urban cache!! Overshot the mark the first time in my enthusiasm to dive in!

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC *551* streak. *3346* Finds

Night caching on the dark side.
A light drizzle made the evening unattractive to most.
Just me and the water truck out here

Thank you for hiding this one

Gathered all information within a few minutes and found on today's little bike tour around this area.

Georode

Some interesting history to be perused here. I spent a good while reading the boards, only to make an error with one digit .I had the right clue - just used the wrong digit. Anyway that put the cache in a likely spot about 400 metres away, but thankfully I used the checker and realised my error.

Quickly fixed and at GZ, I searched for a while before I found the container in a not so obvious spot right next to a more obvious spot that I had been looking in. Coordinates were pretty good. Many thanks Mr Jaiger

Was doing some shopping with a friend and seen this was across from where we were having lunch haven’t had much luck with these types of cache this was a nice easy one even tho I may have walked passed it a few times

An interesting area to visit, I have learned a lot this morning.

After checking I had the correct numbers, I made my way to GZ and had some fun with bouncing on my phone. Consulted with Ms Garmin and very quickly had a spot. I had walked past it 2 or 3 times.

Thanks for the cache and the history lesson Mr Jaiger. As previously noted by others, the cache needs some attention.

Quick easy find. As others have said, the container has a few holes. Thanks for the cache

A nice hide

A quick find, collecting a few unclaimed multi-caches un the area. Container sadly needs attention but T4TC

Thanks for the puzzle and cache.

Unfortunatley the container is damaged with a few holes allowing water to get in. At the moment the log is dry but will get when it eventually rains.

Found it after some rethinking and number changing.
Cache is in bad condition water damage , ant infested and rat chewed container

Easy spot to find thanks. Coordinates lead us straight to it.

With rain and storms due this afternoon I thought It would be the perfect time to head out and collect a few caches before it arrives.

A nice easy find here today

TFTC

Container has several holes in it and could do with a replacement

Second find for the day with the geokids. We enjoyed the history lesson TFTC

The numbers I collected easily enough, the boards were really interesting to me as my parents both grew up around this area.
The cache took me ages to find and I started to think I’d done something wrong when I finally spotted it!

On a multi mission today but daylight had abandoned me so I was doing "doable at night" caches. This was one of them and I snagged a carpark not too far away and had a look for the info required to do this one. There is another multi in the area that mentions some of the history that is on the info boards here. Went and sat on a seat to crunch the numbers and while I was busy I heard noises coming out of one of the bins. Once I'd put the new coords in I went to have a look to see what it was. Rather than possibly getting a face full of exiting possum or whatever, I snapped a remote pic with the phone and was surprised to see it was a rat in there having its dinner. Leaving it to dine in peace, I went on to the cache and after a bit of a hunt, found the container. It seems the rat had preceded me as the corner of the cache had been chewed off. The logbook was still there and signable so I added my name to it. Maybe an ammo can for this cache would be appropriate here, it would suit the size and theme of the cache and even the rat wouldn't be able to chew it!
TFTC Mr Jaiger

Lots of interesting info especially about Kittyhawk drive. Found the cache eventually. Not really hidden like a cache. We added a little trinket. Thanks for the local history lesson. Happy Mother’s Day.

Loved learning about the area. The cache is quite rat eatn and requires replacing before winter.

There is a man “living” near ground zero as pic

Some interesting history here, and I had to read carefully to get all the details.
At GZ the cache didn’t elude me for too long.
Thanks

Crawled around for about 15 minutes trying to find it haha. Good spot and great questions

I was out caching in the area with my youngest geodaughter today, before braving a trip to the nearby shopping establishment to look at the sales. We gathered the information we needed quickly and after arriving at gz had the cache in hand. Tftc Mr Jaiger

Great spot

Nice easy find

Found it with NIKKS61

A good one for remembrance day. No problem with the numbers just needed a good poke around to find it!

On the hunt for Multies so went this way home and learnt so
Much about the area I grew up in that I had not been aware of before! Love a good historical cache!

We are out in this area today, and have been enjoying a really lovely leisurely stroll through the green Parkland, which truly is green at the moment after the recent rains. We loved to learn about the history of this area, and noticed how much it has grown.
We found a good set of numbers, and in a matter of minutes soon had the geocache container in our hands. The log is signed and perhaps we will take a break for a coffee inside the nearby shopping centre.
Thanks
Domsky

This cache wasn't me downfall today
Rather,
it was a very interesting history lesson,
before heading off to GZ for a poke around,
and eventually a cache was found

TFTC.

Fave dance time !!

Found on an early morning stroll in the park

Lots of interesting local info

Tftc

We are staying with omaster for a week and set ourselves a challenge of trying to get the nearby caches that have emerged since we moved down south. This is a park we know well from bike riding and orienteering. A well thought through and interesting multi. Learned a lot. Great to have a checker. Sensible location for the cache. Unfortunately an animal (possibly a possum) is having a great time chewing up the plastic container, the plastic bag and the log.
TFTC and a favourite from us.

Nice and quiet on the paths today, but I did scare a few walkers ambling about in the middle of the shared walkway. Seems you can't hear my bell if you are listening to music with earphones. No sympathy for those who were startled because of that.


Not many people around at this one. Lots passing, but none stopping. I perused the boards and gathered the info required. Nice to see a checker to make sure it is right.[^] I have read some history of the park before, but I have never been to this spot. Lots of interesting facts here.

A short detour around to GZ on the bike. A very short hunt for the find. A favourite point for this one.

Find #2146 at 21:48 with Palopinto. Our last for the night.

Got "B" wrong first (I must learn to read and not just make assumptions), and found ourselves in the middle of an open patch with nothing within 10m of us. Revisited the clues, found our (my) error, and soon had a better set of coords.

The cache then didn't take too much to find, but as previous finders have mentioned, someone's been munching on it -- as well as the log baggie. We didn't have any supplies to improve matters on us, unfortunately.

Took geocoin before it could fall out through the broken container. Second geocoin listed is not present.

Thanks for the cache and the research assignment, Mr Jaiger.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

An "interesting" encounter made this cache memorable for all the wrong reasons. I arrived at ground zero, collected the information I needed and worked out the final coordinates.

As I started walking down the path someone walked up behind me so I slowed down so they'd pass me. He slowed down too so I stopped and leant on the railing and looked at my phone. He stopped too and made some comment about the weather. He then walked closer to me, put down his knapsack and got out a can of Jim Beam. At this point I decided heading into the nearby bush definitely wasn't a good idea and headed towards the shopping centre instead, with him still trying to start a conversation as I was walking away.

Came back half an hour later and he was gone and I was able to retrieve the cache and add my name to the log.

I certainly won't forget this cache any time soon.

Our first multi! There was only a log book in there, so we added some prizes for the next person!

Found with Yoshidragon.
Needs a new baggie for the log book

Love it

Solved the puzzle, go the green, so off I went, had to widen my search, as nothing at GZ as GPS said, soon had it in hand, like others tastes good to something? TFTC.

out on a planet hunt with bubba 89

took some pics while riding through and attending an event ages ago as too many muggles were around
but couldn't find the pics
so back to the start and get the info

off to gz
a nice quick find

dropped off hammer tb

Cool multi.

Easy find

I collected the information for this one on Thursday and spent some time reading the history then piecing together the coords. Quickly found while out during an after dinner walk. Unfortunately no travelbug within, now long lost.

TFTC Mr Jaiger

Enjoyed doing the multi, interesting history information.
We solved the puzzle and it wasn’t long before we were signing the log.
Thank you Mr Jaiger for the the cache and multi.

After a miscalculation of hectares not acres and a drive to the other side of the park we corrected our ways T & L

An interesting read while gathering the required information.
A nice quick find once I had reached GZ but unfortunately the cache is not holding up very well.
Large sections of the base of the container have been chewed away and the log is quite damp.
Needs some CO TLC.

See photos attached to our found log.

This was the first cache this morning I tried to find, but no luck. Spent the rest of the morning logging 10 caches around the area and then decided to take one more look. That’s 11 caches before lunch. Not shabby if I do say. TFTC

Certainly the shortest walk for a multi - took me longer to gather the info from the many signs than to find the cache. Thanks for an interesting history lesson.
As stated the rats obviously like this cache - TFTC

After a nice lunch nearby, we moved the geomobile to the park and wandered down to the first WP of this cache. Geopartner had fun finding the info with me for the coordinates for the cache.
Once we had the coordinates, we wandered down to GZ where Geopartner quickly found the cache.
Signed the log and returned to the container. Everything is dry but something was very hungry and had a chew at the corners of the container.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Mr Jaiger All good with this cache and multi

Greetings from Norfolk Island South Pacific
Found and logged during a wander around 7th Brigade Park. TFTC

Let the kids wandered and play at the fort whilst I went up to get some information and come up with the find.
