It's gone

Sorry to report same as last geocacher. No sign of the cache. Now there is just a dried out piece of the cache description. Suggest this one needs maintenance.

Dad McG and Son McG had a look early this morning - found the obvious location described in the Hint and other Logs, but no cache ... just a soggy print-out of the cache description.

Didn't look for long, but it wasn't in the obvious location as suggested by other logs and the hint.

Nice easy find on our bike trip to the uni - not to many people around today as it was rather overcast. TFTC dropped off "never stop geocaching coin"

found it easily needs a bit of maintenance on the log book

nice location , dried out log a little as very soggy woggy

nice quick find. tftc

Nice park and river and good walk... Hey, note bit wet so you get need now one pls cheers

Found this with the Pride of Ogres.

Another strike for Black Ops.
Found at 1700.
A nice easy find thank you for taking me there.
Cache OK
TNLN not even foot prints.
TFTC

A nice easy fine for Pa Ogre who does not really get to find them with all the little Ogres around however Ogre No:2 looked at the correct spot but came running back saying that it wasn't there it's too deep.
Too deep for little arms, go Pa.
Cache a little damp.

At 12.30h (EST), I found a very wet cache. Luckily the sun was shining and I had lunch to eat. Dried it out as best I could. Put all the logs in a new plastic bag with a sillica gel sachet, to help with the drying out. Took - Nothing. Left - IKEA Pencil & 5 little toys. TFTC "All the way from SA"

very easy find

the cache was a bit wet tried to dry it a bit.!!!!

Found it. Needs maintenance.
This was my 2nd cache for the day after a long absence from geocaching. It was a good way to get back into it finding two nice quick caches in my local area. As mentioned in other posts it is a bit soggy and the paper in the hiding place is likely to be the stash note. I didn't sign the log as it was just too soggy and I thought it was best not to mess around with it and damage it.
I'm all inspired now to create a cache at my work for other to enjo
TNLN

Found and logged at 9.45
I found the log left out of the bag and is verry wet, Perhaps
it should be changed
TNLN TFTC

This cache is in need of maintenance ASAP.

Contents sopping wet - was able to sqeeze water out of the logbook when I picked it up. The logbook is falling apart. Swaps appear to have been largely destroyed. One Taiwanese item has rusted away.

From the looks of GZ, I'm guessing that it has been recently muggled. What I think may have been the stash note is in pieces at the bottom of the hiding spot; and I got the feeling that something was supposed to be in the plastic bag inside the cache (other than what appeared to be rubbish).

Was fortunate enough to get off work a bit early today, so tried the iPhone Geocaching app out again (rapidly becoming my favourite caching accessory).

Found with ease at 1610hrs. Cache contents sopping wet. Also appears to have been muggled. Pease see maintenance request for details. TNLN. TFTC.

The clue gives this one away. But we enjoyed the cache.

Thank you

Great area along the river. Few muggles nearby half looking at what we were doing.

Thanks for the cache, took German Geocoin

YES YES NBS!!!!! - a place too braai
oh, the logs are soaked so we dropped in the visitors card

Quick and easy grab made by Krazy Dog 2. Love that chocolate river!
Log book soaked and inside cache was a bit damp.
TN (didn't see tb)
Left Regions of Germany Coin

The cache is OK, but the log book is soaked, and really should be replaced. Great cache and great location.

Great location and an easy find. As identified in previous logs, the log book is very wet and needs replacing. I have left a yellow piece of paper in a sealed bag for other cachers to log there find, until maintenance can be done
TFTC

Did this one as a night cache and found at around 1am.... Makes for an exciting find!! Log book needs replacing, although I still attempted to sign it's wet pages.... Will file a maintenance report....

TNLNSL. TFTC.

After braving the giants ants at GZ, it was a long reach for the container. It was upside down and has sufferred quite a lot of water ingress. The log is wet and unusable.

I turned the container the right way up in the hope that it will resist the water a little better. I also covered it up a little as it was in plain sight.

There was no sign of the TB listed as being in residence which made me think that maybe the cache has been the victim of some muggle activity.

Cheers

Found with Gunnie69.

A very easy find, but as previously logged, the logbook is wet and unusable...

TFTC

found it while visiting Brisbane for Mona Vie.

What a lovely part of Brisbane, decided to stop for an Aus day breakfast in the park after finding the cache.
Took pencil sharpener and left golden sparkley hair clip.
Great find for the Kids!

Found quickly. Wasn't sure if I was going to be able to reach it easily though. Didn't prove too difficult but had to wait for a break in the stream of walkers on the path to retrieve.

quick find but the cache was defended by some big ants, tn/ln/sl

Nice easy find. I have lived across the river for years but never bothered to venture across until now. It's a nice spot with some great parks. Thanks

Found the cache without difficulty. It is still dry after the recent wet weather. It was good to meet other cachers , Claeton and Smeeagain where I parked to go to the cache. TNLNSL. Thankyou Nanks for the cache

Found with Smeeagain who only realized he had been here before as we pulled up a quick easy find and a pleasant chat with fellow cacher bushandbeach it`s nice to be able to put a face to a name
TFTC TNLN SL

Nice quick find on my way to another cache in the area...TNLN TFTC!

Found this one at the same time as doing another nearby cache. Nice spot. Took Kida Kumback TB. TFTC

Nice easy find. I have never made it over to this section/side of the river before - although I have spent plenty of cash parking on the other side of the river in the past few years! TFTC

Lovely morning walk by the riverside.
TFTC

A nice easy find in a nice area. No muggles made it even better. Ralphy Rabbit was absent. Took nothing, left ball. TFTC

Found on my morning tea break, had to wait for some council muggles to leave the area before grabbing the cache. Very easy to find. Nothing in or out, I think the previous cacher took the TB.

The Happy Hitment (Linkster-)

Couldn't resist one last cache on my way back to the office. Decided a stroll around the Corso would do nicely. TFTH

Found at 12.30 pm. As visitors from Victoria, we enjoy how geocaching takes us to pleasant places such as this. Thank you, THENANKS. Four TBs came visiting with us while they wait for caches appropriate to their aims and one, Ralphy Rabbit, decided to stay. We took a little car as a swap.

WooHoo our first cache find.

UlaRoo, Biggles, Chip & Dale had a great time looking for this cache.

TFTC!

Accompanied with PatOx for the day. She found it before me. No swap. SL. Thanks Thenanks for organising the cache and hunt.

i found it very easy thanks

Finished of with this one today. A nice easy find for the kids.

Dropped into this cache on a run with the Dirty. The paths along the river here are great.Thanks Nanks.

Nice spot. Took TBs, left some stuff. TFTC!

Found at 12:30pm on a lunch break. Easy find, contents nice and dry. Well hello Monkey (TB) I thought I dropped you over the northside recently....

No 1 of 15 for the day. This was a quick find to start the day. Nice and quiet area during a Friday morning.

TFTC / TNLN

Greetings from South Africa

A lovely spot for an early morning stroll. Dropped in some TB's TFTC

Found this one while walking by, but didn't have a pen on me, and there wasn't one in the cahce. So didn't sign log. Was planning to come back, but ran out of time whilst in Brisbane. Maybe some other time when I am back in the area.

QLD#61 - Brisday#32
Wandering around the suburbs aimlessly for one more find!. I came across this, easy and a lovely area at night. The last of my days efforts, 32 in total, a new personal best. Veni, vidi, vici.

TFTC!

Found at 0905. I'd never been along here before. Quite a nice area!

TNLN Thanks Nanks for the cache

Found cache on today at 5:25pm. Took the steve bell card and placed a passport pocket.

Peace out, LURCHY

i had a nosy around a park up the road for this one before deciding to bite the bullett and go get my GPS.

It seems to be a relatively popular place for the muggles... did a bit of the pretend talking on the phone so as not to arouse suspicion... all the while trying not to giggle at how silly i sounded to myself.

Found it (with the GPS) with no trouble once the oportunity arose, took the footy whistle and left a purple keyring.

Thanks for a great cache in a lovely sopt.

Sam.

Nice easy find. Passed a cricket match as well as an AFL match on the way. Appropriately I took the marbles and left an Football whistle. TFTC.

Cache located at 6:57pm - very easy search no muggles about. 1st cache for the night, hopefully penty more to come!!TNLNSL - TFTC!!

Nice spot! First time here. Great views of the city and the uni. Didn't sign log as it was raining when I pulled it out from it's hiding spot. Took Geocoin.

TFTC!

A quick, easy cache in a nice location. My first Queensland find. Left Geocoin. T4TC.

This is the next closest cache to The University of Queensland, unfortunately there is a river in between . That wasn't a problem today. TFTC.

A scenic area along the river bank with lots of nice homes to admire as well. No muggles today so no problem getting the cache. Took the travel bug to move along. Thanks THENANKS

left a travel bug
took a tiger

Dropped off travel bug

Was working in the area and had some time to kill, so whats a cacher to do, nice easy find TNLN TFTC.

Crossed the new(ish) bridge from UQ, then strolled along the river for a quick find. Now off to search for Far Away. Thanks to THENANKS. Cheers!

Found the cache after a nice walk through the park. Will remember to come back with frisbees next time for a little frisbee golf.

TNLNSL TFTC

Another nice park in this great city.

Note to self: take sunnies off head when looking in stumps and holes. Found it ok, thanks - you Nanks are everywhere! TN L croc pencil sharpener. TFTC.

Quick and easy find. But could only just reach it. Cache was not covered at all. so covered it back up when rehiding. TFTC.

Out with mum on the pupil free day today. Good thing she has longer arms than me. TFTC.

Out with mum and my big sister. I couldn't even see over the stump. TFTC.

Quick & easy; looks like it had been muggled, contents spilled. Tidied up.

nice easy find TNLN TFTC

Found quickly after short walk. Cache was dry despite heavy rains in the last week. Took TB. TFTC

Found this one without any drama.
TFTC

A good target for a lunchtime walk and fortunately nobody around when arriving at GZ so an easy find. TFTC.

Fourth find for the day. Nice spot and simple find. TFTC.

Took nothing. Left TB Moriarty who we figure is more likely to catch a flight to Spike Milligan's birthplace from here than where we picked him up.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 1:30pm. I think I signed the logbook as the 1 July. Anyway, a lovely park along the bank of the river; we should have access to all of the river along its banks. TNLNSL TFTC

A nice easy find in a beautiful area. There was a medieval picnic going on nearby which looked interesting.

#16 of 27 finds on my second night in Brisbane in company with HawMorFords. I found this one at 2200. We had a discussion about what a corso was, and I told HMF that there was a street in Beaumaris (in Melbourne) called "The Corso". There's one in Manly (in Sydney) too. We never did resolve it, and even a quick Google search gave no enlightenment. I made no exchange. Thanks to THENANKS for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Did a quick run to this one to drop off a geocoin travelbug that i've had for toooo long. Many previous mishaps prevented me from dropping the coin earlier (eg son having a major bike stack whilst on Tag-A-Long). No such misadventures today, although the ants do leave a lot to be desired.
Took stickers, left travelbug/geocoin.

We thought we would venture over to the wrong, opps, dark, opps, south side of the river to grab a couple of caches, just to show we are not biased, (well actually we were returning from a wrecker at Rocklea) and this one came up. On parking at the side of the road, I walked over to the cache without GPS or anything, it was so obvious. Grabbed Sylvester TB, Found at 1450, 7th for the day, and 45th for the week. Reinstalled the cache with a little bit more covering, just to stop any curious muggles finding it.

Cheers
Bundy

(Now onward, back to the right side of the river)

Not a person in sight. Thought I get the cache before it becomes part of the nest. Another one so close to the right side that I didn't need a torch. The sunny north is calling for the winter

Left a TB -Black in colour to blend in with the darkside.

Good place to hide a cache. Beware of the marauding termites - we had to beat them off with a stick.

Hey, I'd hide a cache in there! ... Ah yes, here it is. The cache location was obvious from a while away, but that is not always a bad thing TFTC.

An easy find for the first one today. Thanks from Posspet Boys.

THE DOUBLE CHEVRONS

Found at 13:38. Straight forward find, although I upset the ants nest grabbing the cache! (nasty big ones too!) TFTC Nanks!

Nice easy find at 2320hrs or so. Had to fight a rather large cockroach for access to the hidey hole, but we prevailed in the end. Bag the cache is in is pretty waterlogged - not sure it's actually doing anything for the cache and it makes it more obvious in it's hiding spot - wouldn't want a "clean up Australia day" crew to get the wrong idea!... Anyway - a fun cache - we took a marble and left some Aussie Dosh. Thanks.

Easy find - I reckoned on the right target while sitting in the car. Still, had to be careful retrieving it. Those muggles just appear at the most inconvenient moments, don't they? Signed the log and swapped some of my marbles for your marbles. That doesn't sound quite right, does it [:o)]?

A fun find on a rainy morning, swapped small cat thingy for dog.

TFTC

Sorry about the late posting, but a re-visit with Claeton and a check of logs sees that I never got to logging this one. Easy find on the corso, great park, TFTC

Easily found cache, in very nice location. Was a nice day to go caching by bicycle. A well stocked cache. Took petite dog, added tough dog figure !

Nice easy find. Great spot for a BBQ. TNLN

Nice park in here. The hide location is pretty evident from about 50 metres away and the cache cover was quite visible when I arrived. I did cover it a little better. I do suspect that it is probably quite safe here with most muggles walking along the path 40 metres away. TNLN TFTC

A quick ride by for If this morning
Nearby muggles were enjoying the shady surrounds. Fortunately they were just far enough away from GZ. With the pushbike leant up against GZ I could retrieve the cache without arousing any suspicions
Nice patch of river side scenery here.
