Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Didn’t find the cache but the walk at low tide to find the tree was very enjoyable

Separate email has been sent to the CO - cache is missing, based on an extensive search, and having had the location and appearance of container verified by a previous finder.

Wednesday. Slow Puncture was (were) out this afternoon on a mission to find a tribute cache that we had worked out, and some other nearby randoms.

This was one of those randoms, but most regrettably, it has gone walkies since the last finder (probably it has gone swimmies). A Needs Maintenance log will be submitted after this log, and we have contacted the CO separately with details of the actions we took in our attempts to find it.

This was the only DNF we had on this trip.

Thanks ***Sunshine Toledo***, for showing us this place anyway, hopefully we will be back! We know where to look!

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Finished a job interview and had time to kill before I start work so dropped by to have a quick look found with out much trouble

TFTC

Had to drop my daughter at the airport at 6am for a school trip so decided to make the most of the journey over this part of town and pick up a couple of caches. Took the 4WD in as close as I could with plenty of mud and deep puddles from the recent rain to negotiate. My timing was perfect with the tide almost fully out so getting to GZ was no problem. There I managed to expend far more energy on gymnastics than was actually required but in the end the cache was found and the logbook signed. TFTC

I'm taking my daughter for driving lessons so she can get her hours up. Great hide. TFTC

Lucky the tide was on our side, great hide, safe, dry & well. TFTF

Out with 1 MinnieMoo today and this one had been on my hitlist for a little while and what a nice lil walk down to gz we saw heaps of lil sandcrabs on the beach they were so cute. Also got a pic of me in the tree for a tree climb TFTC

A caching day out with RhoBoCacher today, this was to be our final find of the day.
As we made our way over to GZ we came across a number of soldier crabs scuttling along the shore. We made our final find as the battery started to diminish. This cache is certainly very safe here, there is no likelihood of it going missing anytime soon.
Thanks for the cache Sunshine Toledo.

TFTC. Little bit of a stroll from the closest vehicle parking spot but a good excuse to get some sunshine and exercise during a lunch break.

Sorry for the delayed logs (now late March) as I have been very slack lately. My home PC is up and running again and I have a day off due to the rain. So here we go....

Out and about with Fangsoki. Some muggles on motorbikes were also enjoying the area. We found the likely spot and after an energetic search the cache was in hand.

Thanks for the cache Sunshine Toledo. Cheers!!

Very very windy today, managed to time it for low tide....took the Rav in for a bit of a bush bash.
There was a family of bike riders playing on their quads and bikes.
Made it to GZ, had to find the right angle.
Great cache..
Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC

The last on our planned outing
Thanks for showing me this place. Went down piped st & the trusty RAV4 saved on the footwork.

Think I could see where it is, but not game enough to try it at high tide. Will have eye come back another time.
Would recommend caution as there was some broken glass around.

This was fun. did anyone mention that we should do it at high tide? so of I go through to water, barefoot up the tree and signed the log.

An Event popped up on the Calendar for today - out near the Airport, so we said why not? Picked up Nadine1989 on the way and off we set. After the event we found eight more caches.

We drove down Marine Road, but the walking track there was being used by heavy earth-moving equipment building up the block of land, so we went up to the gates of the Sewerage Plant and turned down Piped Road (how appropriate a name!) There was a Dad there with his two school-age children practicing their motorised cycles - we dodged around them OK then came across an open drain. Now unfortunately this was a full tide, so we had to back-track a bit and cross over at the purpose-built foot bridge. Now that we are at GZ, how do we get there? Without prompting, Nadine1989 stripped her feet, and cautiously waded out and eventually retrieved the cache. Clever! There was a flowering Crepe Myrtle tree near GZ.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 11.50am on 16th December 2016. TFTC

What a great little spot! The tide was down so I had no problems retrieving the cache. We spent a while beach combing after making the find, the tumbled bricks are particularly neat. The hide itself was nice and well placed, looks like it's held up rather well over the years!

TFTC

Last Stop on our trip out to Pinkenba this morning. was a bit of a walk out to GZ from the direction we set out from but glad we persisted!

Signed and replaced, FP from me - my grandparents grew up and met at Myrtletown so has some significance for our family, Grandad used to speak of crabbing in the river at this location back before there was any industry in the area.

Find no# 152 for me!

Out with geo kids exploring- dirt bike race track we had to avoid- tftc

Looked twice in the obvious spot. Check the other. Maybe another day. At low tide.

20/08/2016, 3:41 PM Find #1024

After finding a wreck-celent cache across the river, I was given the green light to find a few more. I wanted this one for my second D/T loop so I headed here first.

When the road ended, I saw a perfect opportunity to take my new 4WD (new for me) off road for the first time. I drove to within 50m of the cache before parking and wandering over.

The cache was sticking out so it was a quick, easy find.

TFTC

Tftc

Mrs Lee and rochbaz wanted to have a look at finding this one, but we couldn't really find a way to get close enough without having to walk a distance. And Mrs Roch was definitely not capable of walking too far after her recent knee surgery. Will come black another day.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Out on a caching day with Selva Girls today, we were nearby so she agreed to travel a bit further so I could make a find here. Still a very cool hide after all this time. Tftc Sunshine Toledo

This cache has been on my hit list for a little while as it fills a hole in my D/T Matrix. I had planned to grab it a couple of weeks ago but ran out of time.

I was again in Brisbane visiting relatives and as I had a spare hour, I thought that I may duck out to grab this one. There was a note on the cache page about mud and as it had been raining I thought that I would take a chance anyway,

I pulled up at a suitable spot in Piper Street and noticed that there were a couple of lads riding their motocross bikes around although I do not think they we concerned with me. There were also a couple of guys with a ute who had transported them there. As they were not concerned about why I would be there I wandered over to GZ where I was completely hidden from view.

It was high tide so the search was probably not as easy as it would have been at low tide but that would not deter me. The cache was soon located and after a bit of this and a bit of that, the cache was in hand.

The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.

All is good with this cache.

Find #398.

Found the parking area and GZ quiet. Dodged the mud and the cache was found quickly, TFTC Sunshine Toledo

Out and about this afternoon after work along with catscatscats22 and this one was next up on the list for us We pulled up at the end of Piped Rd and after a nice walk over and a quick search we quickly spotted a likely spot and soon had the cache in hand and added our name to the logbook

With a free morning, I decided to scout about further South from home, and find some caches on both sides (good side and dark side ) of the Brisbane River.

I toom the x-trail nice and close before wandering over for a very quick find, lucky it was low tide. This cache adds to our total of 2034 smilies, thanks Sunshine Toledo for showing us this spot.
Feel free to discover our trackable code TGQNRV

Had tried to get to this tree one other time, and could not see a way in...
Went for a look see when the big US warship was here, and discovered the right path for this, but has taken a while to get back here. Was in the area for something else, and decided it was time to get this one...
Okay, drove in as far as I could in a non 4WD, and walked the rest. Oh, dam. Forgot to check the water levels.... It looks like I may have to swim to this one now. Got in close, and whilst the water was high, it was still retrievable. Got it, signed and replaced. Loved this spot too. Thanks for this cache!

I remember coming down this neglected part of town back in 2008 and not being able to find access to the cache through the construction the "white elephant" waste water pumping station.

Today I decided to clear the caches from the area. I was surprised to see that there have been no more caches placed in the area since then.

I had a couple of attempts to find access and eventually I found one which took me off-road. A few deep ruts prevented me from driving the Falcon all the way but I was close enough to see that I could access the location from where I was.

A stroll along the beach with the tide well out and I soon arrived at the tree.

A bit of a search and I spotted the cache. The tree must be growing a bit as the extraction was a bit of a pull and the then replacement needed a bit of pushing and wriggling to get it back into the right spot. It just needs a few regular finders to keep things loose.

finally got this area clear of caches. Thanks ST.

Once we finally found the best spot to access to this cache from, we parked the car and headed off on foot for a short walk along a track.

We arrived at GZ and wasn't long and Mrs Parko spotted where the little beast may be hiding

The tide was on our side and the extraction was made without any hassles.

Thanks for bringing us here Sunshine Toledo

Decided to go for a stomp around the old nieghbourhood and this was one of the caches I found.

A very good hide in a very unique spot. I have been down this way riding many a time and it felt odd coming without a motorcycle to ride. Regardless still my favorite cache of the day so easy point from us. Awesome! Tftc. Recovered and returned.

Smilie #2337

Headed out, just on lunchtime, to pick up a few of the closer caches we hadn't converted to smilies yet. This was the first on our list.
All good until we got to about 2.5 kms from ground zero & wondered what the traffic hold up was.
Then the penny dropped!
Everyone was driving out to Luggage Point for a look at the American Aircraft Carrier, USS George Washington, moored across the water. Bugger! Never mind, we just crept along with everyone else until a side street offered an escape & wouldn't you know it, it took me towards GZ.
Parked the Geo-beast & headed off towards the target area on foot. Across graded clay (plenty of soft spots) through partial riverside marshland (in thongs mind you LOL ...), passing occasional muggles trying to find a sneaky vantage point to view the carrier.
At least, with all the muggle activity, I didn't look out of place or suspicious. I just blended in as yet another Joe Public wanting to go Ooooh, Ahhhh, at the big boat!
As luck would have it when I finally reached GZ, what a great view, there were no muggles in sight. Those that had braved the marshland had left, leaving me to secure the cache & add another smilie to our map.
Once at GZ I had a quick look & was pretty sure where the cache would be but, as the tide was coming IN, I had to do it the hard way!
No spoilers here but, suffice it to say, I spent the next few minutes thoroughly enjoying myself trying to extract the cache/log. SUCCESS! LOL ...
Log signed & cache replaced as found, all before the next wave of boat-spotters arrived.
As a previous finder commented, I also found the 'easier' path on the way out! LOL ...
A simple yet well-placed cache which, on this particular occasion, had special merit because of the other activities nearby.

TFTC Sunshine Toledo
I had a ball so you definitely get a favourite point!

Found!! Do at low tide!

Find #1532 at 17:15 after a short and enjoyable walk.

Attempt #1 at a parking spot didn't seem as good as it did on the map, so I drove on... oh, that sewage plant.

Parking at what turned out to be a much better spot, there were a couple of motorbike muggles loading their trusty steeds onto a ute. I paid them no heed, and they me, as I set forth and found the right way in on the first go (with some careful observation). Very easy terrain, if you do it right.

Reaching the obvious GZ, I tried one spot, then walked around and spotted the telltale sign instantly.

The cache won't come out of its hide, but it doesn't need to. [:o)] Log signed, and everything back in order again.

A most interesting little spot, this. Seem to be a few little places like this along here.

Thanks for the cache, Sunshine Toledo.

PS I note that, as I expected, there did not appear to be a signature in the cache log matching the recent online log of a somewhat prolific armchair cacher.... I wonder if they have ever even found a single cache [?]

Easy find. TFTC.

After dropping family off at the airport we ventured down here to find this one. Last year we were muggled out so didn't attempt it. Today there was no one around. Of course we managed to approach it from the wrong side, but all was good and what a good hide. A favourite from us.

good spot, tftc!

I've lived in Brisbane since I was 3yo. My ex wife's family lived at Pinkenba but I've never been to the mouth of the river. So thanks for taking me down here.

After finding a nearby cache, Sezzz and I headed to this one. We had trouble finding access to where we needed to go, but headed off through the only access we could see. Just as we got to the very long grass, I spotted a fence blocking our way. We decided to head through the head high long grass to what we thought was a slightly clearer area. Once there, we spotted what we thought was an easier way to get to where we wanted to go. Overgrowth saw us unable to access this way. Lucky for us, there was a huge hole in the fence and a bit of a geotrail to follow, so we did. When we finally got to GZ, we agreed that the cache must be "there". So I went "there" without luck. Sezzz decided that she would check, with the same result. She then decided to go further without luck. Whilst there, she spotted another possible hiding spot so decided to check it out. While she was making her way to that spot, I went for a little wander and spotted something that I thought was worth checking out. Sure enough, I had found the cache. I signed both our names on the log whilst Sezzz made her way to terrra firma. We found an easier way back to the car too.

Last one for the day out this way with Selva Girls. We took a while finding our way on the roads and then we had issues trying to find the best way in as well! After parking and deciding to just to head in we realised that it would be harder then we thought. We drudged and we drudged and we finally made it, but it wasn't over yet! We still had to get across this section! Jump! Finally we made it to the other side, that was scary! We looked around, wow, this seems like the easier way to get in! We walked through the gateway, and along the cachers path, as we neared the end we spotted the tree. Selva Girls got there first and so had the first attempt of climbing the tree, I spotted a little hiding spot a fair way up the tree and pointed it out to her, nope that's too high for her so she hopped down and let me have a go, I quickly scaled it but had no luck where I thought it was. I spotted something even HIGHER but I just didn't want to go any higher! The wind was bad enough as it was here! I was complaining to Selva Girls when she said, hold on I think I see something, and sure enough there it was -.- all this climbing for nothing! Now how do I get down?! I finally managed my way down and watched as Selva Girls signed the log. She re-hid it and we went on our way back. As we found our way back to the car we realised that this way was DEFINITELY the easier way, no doubt about it! Isn't that ALWAYS the way? TFTC!

Had a bit of trouble opening this one, I blame my girlie arms.
High tide so shoes wet but that's a small price to pay for a smiley face.

After finding ourselves in the city for brunch, we headed back through Hamilton and decided to venture into Pinkenba to collect a couple of caches.

This was our second find of the day and we initially had a problem looking to get close enough to GZ!!

Off I went, up the tree, way too high, and couldn't still spot the cache!! Dave looked from below and he couldn't spot it either!

I twisted and turned looking for the item I was expecting to see, with no luck, when something caught my eye.

Hey Dave!! Check out that!! Turns out it led him directly to the cache!! I climbed down low enough to accept the log book and put our name among the toughest and bravest, here before us.

10/10/14 Having dropped my parents off at the airport for an early morning flight I thought I would grab a few local caches. Had some trouble getting to GZ, but once I followed the description exactly I was taken to within 60m of GZ. I could see the likely spot. Searched high and low. Thankfully I think I came at the right time of day. For a couple of reasons. Coords were spot on which lead me to make the find. Great hide and earning a fave point from me. TFTC Sunshine Toledo

Awesome way to start off the experience of geocaching.

After my shift at 4RPH, I usually have to head straight to work, but not today! Time to grab a few caches, and that bunch around the airport are ripe for the picking [^]

This one was a fun adventure I had some trouble finding the right entrance to this area, and then was pretty cautious taking my 2wd Bumblebee across to GZ I had to walk the last 60 or so metres as the sand got a little deep... Didn't take long to work out which was the right tree, but I made my search harder than necessary [:o)] I did have fun along the way! With no find, and not wanting to get too much more adventurous, I had a read of the hint and had a face-palm moment Mmmm, this way then? Ahh, got you [^] TFTC, Sunshine Toledo. a favourite point from me.

This is a great spot with lots to see while here. Located cache, signed log & replaced. Great hide TFTC

TFTC!! ☺️

Great hide. This is a lovely spot... We were glad to visit this arvo. TFTC

Good spot, nice veiw

Muddy feet but all good !! Will send pinky on.

Pinky was left here and hopefully someone retrieves her before the hole closes over

Thanks for the casche

'Twas a nice Sunday morning, both missus and myself had woken up early, and after clearing out the mess left behind by weary and tired people last night, I popped out the question: I'd love to go for some geocaching, do you have any preferences if I do it in the morning or afternoon. How coincidental that she had been thinking of the shopping paradise by the airport entrance. So, after dropping the ladies off to max out my credit card, I took on this more peaceful, enjoyable and affordable game.

These shores were the first stop of the day. When approaching the street corner with car, couple of trail bikers whizzed past me with a loud roar. Okey, so it's walker aware here...

Managed to park safely, walk to the riverside safely, and took in the views. Great to get a very different view of the river than normally in the fully built up environment. Thanks for taking me here to see it, Sunshine Toledo!

Found the likely spot easily and an external object provided further assurance. It just took a second to wiggle the container out as the passage is probably starting to close as the tree grows. I've seen it elsewhere too, so there will be a day in the years to come when someone concludes that the container has become an integral part of the vegetation.

Log signed, container replaced, and back to dodge the trail-bike-bullets.
TFTC!

I have never been this far down river before. Followed the instructions in the description and arrived at river side to find a few cars and a lot of people. I just drove along the track south and parked safely. There were two P and O cruise ships on the other side of the river and one of them departed whilst I was at GZ. Walked towards the river and had soon found the cunning hide. The tide was out so I guees I had come at the right time. Very good hide. The aroma down here is a little over powering. TFtC.

Found location and could see cache but due to tide could not get it. Will return to sign.

Easy find on a nice warm day
Tftc

Sweet spot cherrs

Drove right to the end of the road, but I wasnt going to chance off roading today so I walked to GZ. Thankfully the tide was right for me. Had a good look around then checked the hint again. Needed to get a bit closer and thankfully was agile enough to reach out and retrieve the cache. Good effort on this one and glad its not washed away. TFTC

Wow what a magnificent spot to lead us too. Picked the wrong tree at first and made it hard for ourselves until compass reset then easy to spot. Lucky it's low tide. Was tricky to extract so secured it with a piece of fishing line hanging beside it . Tftc

Tide is way too high for this one, but I'm here, and can see the hideyhole so that is good enough for me to clock this one up.
TFTC

Found the spot but not the cache

It would never have occurred to me to visit this neck o' the woods and surprised to see that peeps live around here. Highlights of the trip included seeing the Pacific Dawn heading out to sea, squatters in a tent, a disused defence base, a rusting wreck on the shoreline, a posh golf course of all things (lots of water features, I expect), an oil pipeline plaque and of course this tree...

Which was my cache of the day! A FAVE point from me!

I decided that Sooty the rally car could make it close to GZ at low tide so we bumped our way to the canal and then I did the rest on foot. The cache was an easy find

TFTC Sunshine Toledo, I enjoyed the journey

My little geodaughter and I had some time to spare before picking up the Mrs from the airport so I headed around this way for a few finds. I can honestly say I've never been out here before and probably never would have.
I went down the obvious road first but once that went nowhere a u-turn and a quick drive down another road was needed. Well this was a better choice as I pretty much drove to GZ. Thankfully the tide was down so a short wander over and I spotted the hide. After signing the log we wandered around the shore line checking out all the jellyfish and the steel structure. There was a massive oil tanker docked not to far away.
Cheers Sunshine Toledo

Glad it was low tide when we came for this one. Lots of waterbirds foraging along the sand/mud flats.
A good hide. Cache and log nice and dry.
Thanks Sunshine Toledo.

Found it, but not sure if I took the easiest route. Parked and walked 300m across dry mud flat to get to the tree. Thanks

1 of 31. GeoDad bagged this one. Great find facing the water, however recommend you don't try this one after dark and on High tide... the dismount from the tree followed with an embarrassing face plant was not my finest moment - trust Geokid1 to giggle. Tftc.

Found with aussiemanx

Lots of coal here.

Nice easy find. Enjoyed this cache! TFTC!

YAY!!! Finally, with some assistance from Captain Terror making it to GZ, I can finally make this one a smiley. I have been out here searching for this one before, but somehow I never managed to find the right way to the cache. I did however last time, manage to find a fun little paddock to run the monster truck through, in the mud!

Today, with the Captain as company, we headed past a couple of fisherman and over to GZ. They were to busy with their chosen hobby to bother with us. A quick look here and there at GZ and I had the cache in hand. I signed the log and replaced the strange container as found. We then wandered around a small bit noticing that this place could well do with a CITO intervention.

TFTC Sunshine Toledo

A birthday cache for me. I had a very strange day and found myself driving out this way. I then ended up driving across a wasteland or two as I tried to get as close as possible. Eventually I got to the last road in and promptly found myself deep in mud. My wheels spun my car around but thankfully I regained some dry ground so I parked there and set off on foot to the water. Thankfully the tide was low. At first I thought the cache had been replaced too deeply as I struggled to get my big hand in, but then I realised there was an extraction tool to assist. I still banged my head on the branch trying to get in (d'oh!) but am pleased to report all was fine here so TFTC. It was a memorably strange one for me!

What a great spot. Saw lots of container ships and tugs working the river and found the cache easily at low tide.

I imagine things could be trickier if the water were higher.

Found this one with The Hunting Rabbit. Took a few minutes and then we found it - good hide

The Hunting Rabbit then proceeded to have lots of fun chasing and catching some crabs. Lots of laughs to be had by all. TFTC

It's nice to be here on a Saturday. No one in sight. Stopped in here with Dansync. After a quick search we located the cache. Well...finding it was quite funny. Dansync said there was an animal in the hole so Mr Rabbit jumped up to look inside. He saw it for a second but wacked his head hard on the branch. [B)] OUCH [B)] After signing the log Mrs Rabbit had fun chasing purple crabs and taking photos. Beautiful little area near the port. TFTC

After taking a wrong turn near the wrong gates, we got ourselves on the right track and found the gz.

Geoson did a bit of climbing and found the cache reasonably quickly then got attacked by ants.

Signed the log and returned the cache back to its home. Geoson wants to award a fav point for this one.

TFTC Sunshine Toledo

I love the smell of jelly-fish in the afternoon... Smells like... Victory. I must have come at low tide as it was very accessible. TFTC.

MILESTONE CACHE! 1600

I have actually tried this one - twice even. About a year ago, I was still new (aonly a handfull of finds to my name - and I didn't log abandoned attempts then) - Both times it had recently rained and both times I failed to notice that my chosen point of approach was never going to work anyway. I would never have worked out this back then.[B)]

Fast forward twelve months, and about 1550 finds, and slightly older, much wiser, and far keener I return to the scene of the crime! Right, abort from this direction! Back down the road ... looks like this might be an option, it's only a k or so. Not too far! Off I trundle.

And a short time later I am at GZ. Even at this point I might not have known what to do once, but this time I leaped over the water and onto the tree in the river. Moments later I am hanging upside down next to the well hidden cache - lovely work - talking to Crew153 on my mobile and trying not to drop anything into the water.[:o)]

I do have fun!

A fave from me for such a well constructed hide in an amazing (if somewhat smelly) place. Thanks for taking me here, and I'm glad I decided to go here first out this part of town to make this one number 1600.

Wildlife update: A brace of coneys (ie: two rabbits but I've long wanted to use that phrase and mean it) were startled, but unharmed in this adventure. No snakes, a few birds and two jumbos.

Thanks for placing this cache, Sunshine Toledo. Found in good condition.

{Overall find #1600}

Came here as the sun was setting on a breezy afternoon. Had my story ready to check out a recommended fishing spot but no one around tonight. In fading light I went too high and found the remnants of a clip lock bag, was that it? Mmm another look and yep there it was, fantastic! Signed by the light of the torch delighted to make this find, my new most northern. Was able to stop a while and enjoy the view and goings on in the area. Thanks for featuring this spot.

After a long trek from Defender, we arrived at gz to see that there was a road of sorts that we could have utilized. *headslap* We found the tree easily enough but the tide was in, so it was up to me to scale said tree. I took the hint too literally and climed way higher than I needed to. At the highest point that I could go, I sat on a branch to read the logs and one stuck out. So down I went, and grabbing hold of the trunk, leaned out and presto! All's good with the cache and soon we were off to the car. tftc Sunshine Toledo

We were up North again picking up our daughter from the airport and I had missed out on getting this one when we had seen her off 9 days ago.

It was a bit of a shame because it was the furthest up this side but that's how things go sometime.

The route obviously was familiar to me and and I approached GZ from the Main Beach Rd I took the road which seemed to be closest to my quarry only to be confronted with large unfriendly gates with No Entry on them and all the usual stuff about security.

I didn't muck around and did a quick U turn and headed back to the main rd.

The next road looked far more promising even though a lot longer and I was pleased to see that if I took it carefully I could drive quite close to GZ.

A bit of a stroll along the waters edge saw me studying the possible final location.

Luckly the tide was out and I sonn had the prize in hand.

Thanks Sunshine Toledo TFTC SL TNLN

Keen to get to this one I did a wee bit of planning. Wait for it to not rain for over 7 weeks in Brisbane and go out looking at Low tide. How civil - lol

Thanks for bringing me to this peaceful area at the end of what has been a hectic week Sunshine Toledo. Just what I needed.

Container and contents all good ty.

TFTC

Geopartner had fun getting this one. Passed it to me to sign and then put back where it belonged TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Sunshine Toledo

Killing time while over a layover at BNE bound for Auckland. TFTC

Great hiding spot by the river

Tftc

Another great spot. Never knew this little beach was here. Good spot for fishing if the wind isn't blowing in the wrong direction. NICE container too. I'm very grateful for the 'modification' to the container, I would have been fairly damp and uncomfortable otherwise.

Took a bit of driving and exploring to figure out how to tackle this one. Soon had a plan and took off to the river tree. Once I found the cache I was careful not to drop it on the rocks! TFTC.

Spent part of the day catching up on caches that we have missed on previous outings for all different reasons. Oh what fun and oh what a surprise to see that the Brisbane City Council actually has a 'park' out here. Got close to GZ and was surprised to see a building where a road was suppose to be on my GPSr. Oh well, they were kind enough to have a 'path' down the side so off we head very cautiously as we weren't happy with a creek line on the right of us but to our surprise we get to a City Council Park sign!!! WOW! We arrived at GZ and poked around and looked around for several minutes, even got bombed by a Virgin Plane flying very low over our heads and then waves started coming along after a boat went by. Being distracted all the time and then after our second poke around came up with the cache. Well hidden and all dry.

Great cache and hide! TFTC!
Found this with my dear friend clickcraftsman, who planned our geocaching journey today.
Was originally in the area to get a shot of a container ship docked opposite at Port of Brisbane, which brought our long awaited household from Germany.
In: Glückspfennig (former german smallest coin, bringing good luck)

Up from cold Melbourne to visit Wombatty and co, who introduced me to this pastime early this year, wanted to look at ships in port. So while opposite on the river we snaffed a few nearby caches. Nice hide! T4TC!
