Logs
This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.
Did not find this. The gumtree that was supposed to have this Geocach did not present it anywhere. This Cach is potentially non-active
Walked in to this one. Interesting plant life in the area. At GZ, as we were signing the log, (which is damp and mouldy, needs some tlc), visiting family noticed a large python in the grass. Great photo opportunity!! Thanks BigAl58
This is my first physical GCA cache and as caching should this took me to an area worthy of a cache hide and one which I had not been aware of previously.
This is a nice piece of unspoilt bushland and a very worthwhile nature experience for those with limited time.
Given this is in a NP do try to tread lightly when seeking an cache. If you see a geotrail forming then prehaps take a wider path to the cache itself.

Surprisingly this cache has not been found since 26/09/2008 and there has been no owner maintainence. The cache is very well hidden. The container was very wet. I dried it out. The log book is damp but ok to use. This one is only 300meters in from Priests road and the vehicle track goes to within a very short walk of the hiding spot. A sign at the entranc is very particular about not walking off the track. this cache is hidden on a NPWS reserve, that allows publ;ic access via the tracks/paths.

Freshwater must be one of the least known suburban national parks in Brisbane. But what a beautiful little park it is.
If you want to see grass trees, then this is the place for you.
I've never seen so many in one area !!
Thanks for the cache and stroll in this little bit of yukka heaven.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 10:00am. This was a lovely walk in to GZ on a warm winter's morning. What are the purple flowers? Are they an orchid of some kind. They are everywhere. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice walk into the bush - off a beaten track we hadn't seen before. There was some confusion in the group re the string hanging down... Took a Dinosaur - left a Fire Truck in case the bush dries out!!!
