Tftc. Quick park and grab.

Checked the other three supports first and found this one at the last one.All good with it.TFTC

Tackled this one on foot, boy this would be a steep ride for me! TFTC

Widened my search a bit from what GPS indicated and made a find to keep my daily streak going! The long grass had me worried it would hamper my search particularly as my first cache hunt today was a DNF. This is day 46 of the streak! Cache is in good condition. TFTC

After an impromptu decision to run out and grab some caches, I stopped by this one on my way out to Ferny Grove.After arriving in location and seeing the structure I was looking for something a little different to what I end up finding I found your cache, Upper Kedron Alps - Hill Repeats today. This is my 3212 find.jachna, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

This cache was amazing for my kids to finally find as seeing a couple of logs and pictures they finally found it together

Dnf

Could not find it, long grass, electrical pole, not safe

Made a pretty quick find here in some long itchy grass! TFTC

I found it very fun

Found it with a bit of perseverance. Beginners here, just #3

Found it extremely quick

Found it!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun

Thanks, found it

Found it

Thanks for the cache!

jachna I found your cache Upper Kedron Alps - Hill Repeats on 31/8/2023, 1:55 pm. This is my find 5971 and find # 5 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for replacing. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Looks like the previous container has gone missing. Replaced with a new container and a new log. Happy caching.

Disabling for now until I get a chance to go check on this little baby.

jachna I didn’t find your cache Upper Kedron Alps - Hill Repeats on 27/6/2023, 4:37 pm. Looks like there has been work carried out here. Searched in the likely places but nothing found.

Unfortunately tis was a DNF for our little group. Nothing that could be a suspect hide for us. Maybe next time when we are on this side of town.

Early morning start to get to the event requiring a steep climb before hand.

This cache was our last attempt for the day. Our previous find was 8 mtrs out and others had said the coordinates were out by a similar amount. We revised our search area but sadly did not come up with a find.

Great cache. Nice adventure.

Great views! Quick find. Thanks for the hide!

Quick find after reading some logs.

Having completed all my weekly chores on Saturday, Sunday morning was my free time to get out and attack a few caches that I had ready to find out this way. I loaded up the Geowagon with all the necessary TOTTS and headed out.

After parking the car I quickly identified a likely ground zero and checked out all potentials and eventually came up with the goods. A quick signing and I was soon on my way to turning this into a smilie.

A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available.

Nice and easy cache to find. Awesome views, please don’t climb the tower. Tftc ??

It was time to get out of the house and my wife asked where I wanted to go. I looked at the map and decided that it was time that I cleared the caches of the map in this area so we headed off. It is a 45 minute drive from home to get here

I took notice of the 2 large gas cylinders which appear to have fallen off a truck and now hiding in the grass on the verge of the road. I took the stroll up the hill to GZ and started searching with a preconceived idea of what to look for and after a bit of searching I noticed something else and came up with th find.

A nice day out with Davidwazza! TFTC!

Today, with baby Warren having cold/flu symptoms, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I planned on a smaller hike not too far from home, so we targeted [I'm Hooked on Geocaching](https://coord.info/GC38CEN). We made a few stops around the Upper Kedron and Ferny Grove area at a few viewpoints and local parks and reserves, before commencing our walk. Without the correct TOTT in our vehicle, we weren't able to complete the find, but we did enjoy a Ferny's Cafe lunch as we headed home.

This location rang a bell, but I think I had found a similar *Upper Kedron Alps* geocache that had brought me to a power line tower. I was able to drive the Prado up the track and park pretty well next to GZ, and then the search took longer than it probably should have to find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, although the protective plastic bag was ripped. Thanks jachna for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Lovely view

First cache found!!

Nice find. TFTC

Little bit out on my gps, but found it once I realised. Nice find and enjoyed the climb up the tower

After the nearby event, my original plan was to doing some walking in the nearby hills and find some caches. But then IolantheK asked if I'd like a guided tour of her caches in the area - wow - an offer I couldn't refuse! Seven hours, 16 caches and 1.5 ALs later, I headed home just on dark!

After the Cubic Problem which did my head in, IolantheK suggested a couple of easy ones (not hers) up the hill. This one took a bit longer than it should have as it was 8m out for me. With a nudge from IolantheK, I spread my search and found the cache. Tftc

Found with C & K. Nice easy find, TFTC

A trip out this way today.
Collecting some solved puzzles and cleaning up some traditional caches as well.

A brand new road passing close by had me worried but all is well at GZ


Thank you for this cache

I was at the GZ for a little search and round I went and spotted the container soon enough. Good views here. TFTC

After having a quick look around I ran back to the car for reinforcements. Gone are the days when I had to be the big show, full of bravado, testosterone and wine. These days I’m quite happy to admit I can’t find a cache and need help. I dragged Mrs Woodyrothwell away from looking at shirtless dudes washing clothes on their washboard abs on her phone for some assistance.

Our last find took a few seconds and when the same thing didn’t happen I knew I needed some help. Even with help it took us a little while to uncover. Unfortunately we also uncovered a secret sect of ant who have been obviously waiting for the Y2K bug to end the world and weren’t happy we had ended their hibernation (or the news that Y2K was a storm in a teacup).

The cache and rock went flying. There were also ants breaking the sound barrier in a 360 degree arc as we flung them from our hands with dismay. These suckers were big and fast, and they did not want to leave the cache. We finally grabbed the cache in between skittish ants and were able to return it between some other skittish ants. I can’t believe neither of us got bit. tftc

Having decided that going caching was a much better idea than facing the craziness of shops today I’ve ended up in Upper Kedron…

Expecting a certain type of hide I went round before changing my focus slightly to then uncover the cache…

Tftc…

After attending a nearby event, Richmond Lad and I headed off to find a few caches. This one was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

After attending an Event, it was decided to do some caches. Driving around, parking the car, walking to GZ, and taking some time to find them before eventually finding. Thank you to CO for placing them there. TFTC

Cloud cover added a little extra difficulty to my already dodgy GPS. A broader survey of the general vicinity exposed a likely hidey hole and the cache was soon in hand. Tftc

Found nice and easy

Not content with my 10km of hiking in Upper Brookfield this morning, I drove over here for more.
This one wasn’t hard to spot and was in great shape so TFTC and for the extra views to enjoy.

Found quickly after taking a detour from shopping. TFTC.

TFTC nice bush scenery not too tricky

Popped out after work. Say a bike rider slugging up the hill and a wallaby on the edge of the grass / road verge.

Still in good shape since replacement.

Still in good shape since it was replaced. Great idea. Blends in well with its surroundings

The container was squished flat like a pancake. New container and log in place. BYOP. Please in gentle with this one. Happy caching everyone.

Log book was soooo wet, couldn’t write in it.

Logbook is saturated and container is a bit squashed

Rock and roll

New container needed

Found it, however this cache is wet and was unable to write in it. Needs some maintenance

Waking up early this morning I decided to head out to find a cache.
Arriving at gz and assessing the options, the cache was found quickly.
Log is very damp, I managed to sign in red, very lightly, cache then replaced as found.
Thanks Jachna for the cache.

Good climb. TFTC

You're right about the cardio, TFTC and the exercise (on foot in our case).

Incredibly hard find, spent 4 hours.

4 year old nephew saw it on approach. great hide.

Out for a quick coffee cache and look what is on the way to my favorite village. A quick ride along the bike ways up Kedron Brook and then a little hill climb diversion is all that is required.

Seems i may be the first to find these caches according to the CO intended instructions ( On YA Bike that is)

Thanks, I love a good bike cache [Just a little coffee ride](https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/45045968) https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/45045968

HOT COFFEE - an enjoyable therapeutic experience.

Found it

I was searching around the wrong leg but got him in the end. TFTC

Another quick find and again more broken glass. TFTC

I think attempting to cycle these hills would more likely result in a heart attack rather than improved cardio fitness for me! It was fun enough in car, especially in the middle of the extensive roadworks. TFTC jachna

Now that’s a four-wheel-drive track! Luckily we chose to take the sealed road nearby, parked on the far side and crossed and scrambled up the embankment. They do believe in broken glass at the bases of these things around here, don’t they? Was interesting to see how many properties there are out here, enjoying the lovely bush setting. They must have amazing privacy if not convenient access to shops.
TFTC, jachna. =^.^=

Lovely drive through here this morning. Thanks very much!

quick find
tftc

Nice and steep for the cyclist, but I'm glad I was driving. Found after searching for a while.

Found it not where I was expecting it to be but left it as I found it. Thanks for the cache

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. jachna TFTC *594* streak. *3654* Finds

On my way back from Hervey Bay, I noticed a few new caches published and while I still had a leave pass I thought best make the most of it. Seeing as though these are not far from home it was a slight detour to race over and grab. They will also fit into my month challenges. It was dark so a light was required but the finds were easy and with log signed and cache replaced it was off to the next one. Thanks for placing these here.

I saw this on the way home, but was half an hour late for being first. The cache was found easily after a little search.

Thanks

I missed the publication of these two caches at 2.40pm, so was very surprised to see that after 90 minutes they were still unfound! However, I still had to wait for my daughter-in-law to return to wrangle the grandkids, so it was about 4.30pm before I could head out.

It's a very familiar road, being just within 3 kms from home, and I soon reached GZ and made the find. Happy to claim the [*FTF*] at 4.35pm. TFTC, jachna.
