By K8'n'Co. on 19-Jun-07. Waypoint GC13R2E

Nice find! Log is very wet but collected the clue. TFTC! This is find number 469Signed log as KOPHD

Thanks for my first find!

fourth visit ... or maybe fifth hey new hat all my friends have a smile here now so last visit ... maybe tb visit

After an unsuccessful attempt on this one in 2012 we were back in the area finishing off an ALab. Heading out we saw this was close by. Nice quick find today.TFTC

Tftc. A quick find here to finish off the caches needed in this series. Now just need to get to the final GZ to find the loot.

Another journey to collect some oldies. ARF was kind enough to join me despite having found them already. Luckily we grabbed a trad in Samford, some ad labs and back up BB reserve at the end to grab one we had not previously solved. His solving brilliance again. This sated his needs geocaching for the day. Most were quick finds but a bit of hiking was required in drizzly rain. Thanks to all COs especially the original and adopted owners of good olds!

After an impromptu decision to run out and grab some caches, I stopped by this one on my way out to Ferny Grove.Im now making my way home in a roundabout direction stopping and grabbing more caches along the way.Venture to this one, maybe climb from an appropriate starting point on approach I spotted what I was looking for and soon had my name ending rather damp. Logbook maintenance may be required here. I found your cache, Bushranger #2 - Ambushed today. This is my 3214 find.Quick1MinnieMoo, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Easy to find, bit of a hike

TFTC found it cool spot bit tricky terrain

I would suggest the T rating is VERY generous, unless there's an ez way in th@ I missed...but a find never-the-less & another novel container in the series! T4TC:)

I was meeting friends for lunch at Keperra, so decided to do some geocaching beforehand. I found a few caches near the Lomandra parking area off the Samford Road and had enough time for one more cache. This one had been a DNF for me a couple of years ago when it was missing. Ive been wanting to get back here, so I parked nearby and walked to gz where the cache was soon found. The logbook is wet but I was able to sign it. Its been a fun series. Now to find the final. Tftc

Nice creative hide! Paper was too wet so put another piece of paper in a plasticbag. TFTC

Spider webs I never know if its better to look up at webs or down for Snakes. Either way this wasnt a fun experience as I got a face full of web. Cache was located after my webbing. signed and replaced grabbed the extra clue for the next cache. TFTC, found with mugglemum.

Shoot what a hiding spot. Hats off to those that locate this

Reverted to my inner six-year-old with the plastic gun

Stand and Deliver! And deliver it did. TFTC

Fantastic fun

This is the best one Ive found yet

FOUND IT. TFTC

Cute hide. Love the narrative! ️

We visited this area on occasion of a CITO event in July and went afterwards on a geocaching tour.

We found this cache and signed the log.

Thanks for adopting this cache, 1MinnieMoo

Hahaha classy cache, love it

Out with TBU1Bikesu for more smileys. Tftc
A fav point from me

Found it!! Great effort!!

Geo daughter had a party to go to this afternoon which left me with a 4 hour window of me time. Planned a georide from Ferny Hills through Samford conservation park, along Samford rail trail, up and over Camp Mountain, down to Bellbird grove and back through upper kedron. Lots of pushing geobike up hills but had a great time. TFTC

Tftf with my mum

I heard there was an oldie out this way & jogged up the path to collect a quick find.

An Event brings us to Brian Burt Reserve, so time to cache in the area.

What a fantastic trail through the bush. Nice camo.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 2.44 pm on June 24, 2023. TFTC, K8'n'Co.

Early morning start to get to the event .

Deciding to head out to do an AL in the area we detoured to a few caches in the area.

Nice to get another oldie in the area. Loved the attachments.

Nice quick stroll and a quick find.
Keeping the short streak alive making this day 10.

6th cache find on my morning walk, with 9 caches to locate on my list. Liked what I found at this cache TFTH

1MinnieMoo I found your cache Bushranger #2 - Ambushed on 29/5/2023, 4:40 pm. This is my find 5456 and find # 16 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Out today doing some offline caching along the Camp Mountain Rail Trail. Collected the clue, signed the log & returned as found. TFTC

First to sign the new log

Disabling this one temporally until I can pop out with replacements

Fresh items back in play

Bushranger #2 back hiding from the constabulary ready for finding once more.

Bushranger #2 - Ambushed was transferred from K8'n'Co. to user 1MinnieMoo

Fixed

This cache is still in place

oops someone posted a find from last year.

Hi K8'n'Co.,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Didn’t find it today. Cool spot and a few odd looks from people using the path

Had a good scratch around in the likely area, in some rain, but nothing for me today.

Unfortunately it wasn’t our day today. We scratched around for 30 minutes and even endured a bit of rain but we had to leave cracking the sads. Thanks anyway

Searched and searched, but no luck.

Had a good long hunt around with [@OscarNeo](http://coord.info/PR14BT39) - we searched in a fairly large radius of GZ but came up with nothing.

Couldn’t find it ??

After attending an Event not far away I teamed up with Snickersallan, DeafPhantom and grannysmith1947 I added a few more caches to our list. This was a bit steep to get to GZ but a quick find in the end. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

TFTC smile 10491 out and about with Snickersallan Imbunda and DeafPhantom great caches, great day ,good weather loved this area good variety of caches
Thank you, K8'n'Co., for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

On completion of the beaut Ferny Grove Event teamed up with Imbunda, grannysmith1947 and DeafPhantom to look for a few local caches.
Our team loved this one apart for the steep climb, cache certainly matched the title and was found quickly, thanks CO.

TFTC K8'n'Co.

Maintenance completed

Removed for maintenance

Today with another day in COVID-19 lockdown, I decided to use my home distance limitation and opportunity for fitness to complete the infamous *X* by MTB. I got going early departing from Enoggera Reservoir, and made the ride accordingly. It was a long day out, but given a few mechanical issues, I needed to move and redeploy my vehicle, which perhaps facilitated my loop ride. The ride was extended by performing additional detours and extensions whilst passing by nearby geocaches, and so in the end, it was a long day to be on the saddle!

This was my final geocache find for the day, and it took a few minutes in wandering around the place at GZ, before eventually grabbing the find. At least I was more confident about this geocache's coordinates given the previous visit by other Geocachers. A rather creative cache, and it looks like the perfect position for an ambush through this cutting! The cache container and logbook were in good shape, but I couldn't find the clue for this *Bushranger* series, so I may need some help at a subsequent date (logbook may need updating?). Thanks K8'n'Co. for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Lovely day with Team Domsky and smallwombat walking in the bush when we stumbled on this old cache. We spent quite sometime here, extended our search area, called for help and almost quit when I spotted something out of place.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here K8'n'Co. A very well thought of cache, will have to complete the series.

This cache gave us the most grief on our epic oldschool assault of samford and surrounds.
Noting the dnf's, we thought we'd give it a red hot go anyway seeing as we were in the area.
So the four of us zoomed in up the hill into the scrub to gz and then in an ever widening circle around abouts. A good long while later,..
E_smiley finally found part of the gig a good twenty odd metres away as if semi discarded, so we rigged up some "bullets" and rehid I dare say where it should be.
I reckon when you get some free time, to come have a look at this one, as it's certainly not as it was originally intended, though it is there and ready to be found.
Thank you k8nco for the cache!

Like previous people who have searched here, we really thought that the bushrangers had done a clean sweep and a total ambush here.
We made a short steep climb to GZ, and with four sets of eyes decided to spend some time searching around here. After 20 minutes, and with ever widening search circles, we were close to calling it quits, when E_Smiley spotted something that the bush rangers had left behind!
Yep, we found something ( photo attached… and don’t mess with E_Smiley). In fact we found it. There is no logbook inside, and so we have added a new bison and log sheet inside.
We found this to be a good 20 m away from its original GZ, so we have replaced it back to where we believe it should be. It is definitely there (albeit a little worse for wear and time).
Thanks K8’n’ Co
A FP added family the adventure and hide.
Domsky

Not saying it isn't there, just saying I couldn't find it.

Nothing here for us today.
Tfth

Didn't find

With NutCacheBNE, looks like there has been muggled activity's. He will add a photo.

DNF and found muggle activity recently in area

Happy Fathers Day. We arrived at the Lanita Court Entrance just in time for a large rain storm to come over us. Not wanting to abandon our plans for a walk and some finds we decided to head back to Samford for a coffee and to ride out the rain. Didnt have to wait long and we were back were we started and ready to search. A quick climb up the hill and we spotted something that looked a bit suspicious. It appears as though the chasing troops may have hidden the decoy to avoid further embarrassment. Log signed and replaced as found. GPS was out for us under the tree cover but we used our geosenses to locate the hide. Looking forward to doing the rest of the series. Thanks for the effort to create this special hide. Favourite point for the photo opportunity with Dans belongings.

Love the cache “outfit” on point! TFTC and the story of lightning Dan.

Tftc was a great find too a few muggles on there first find and it was great for their first one

Ninth cache of the day, found with a great mob while doing "X". The weather was stunning, and I think we all enjoyed the ride (though there was far more walking than riding!). Arriving near GZ, it was only a short but steep walk, and a very clever and well themed cache was soon uncovered. Very clever, very creative, as usual! Clue noted, we quickly packed up and made our way back to the bikes. Energy was fading at this point and I think we were all thankful for the flat and smooth bikepath.

Thanks for the company TeamTyrrell, Chamad, GeoRode, OrangeCrew, P’ and Ruzzelz.

Onwards and upwards to the next cache.

TFTC and TB visits.

A great cache and "prop" was found soon found after the steep walk up the bank.

Managed to pick up this one whilst out hunting down "X" with a great mob of Cachers.

Thanks to Chamad, OBC, Georode, Ruzzelz, Orange crew and PPrime.

Cheers for the placement and upkeep of this cache.

Thought about searching for this one, but decided to guard the bikes from Muggles while the others went off to hunt

??

Fun cache. Love a bit of Aussie history. On bike so didn’t have pen to sign.

Decided to try the Bushranger series today after a failed start a few years ago. Decided to attempt to find in order. Having read the weekly punctilio, we set off on the rail trail, along with many walkers and bikers out after weeks of COVID isolation. Glorious day, and after a little off track searching, we spotted some clues as to the possible exit route taken by Lightning Dan.
Log book signed and first clue noted. Favourite point awarded. TFTC

Another find today whilst out and about exercising and caching, really like the story and twist with one, worth a favourite point and TFTCT from the inspectorrexteam.

Out this morning getting some target caches and enjoying the piece and quiet of the early morning start.

This one has been on my to do list for some time and today was my chance to grab this and a few others in the area.

Such a nice area I never knew this area was here. The more I read up on the train line that went thru here the more interesting the area is.

The bushranger series is one I have been working on very slowly. Having completed a few already it was time to nab this one, a perfect opportunity. With just one more to get the series will be done. So it’s onto the next.

Thanks for bringing me here the interesting cache and the great views along the way

Found it before the hat,

Cool props

Back on the Bushranger trail, i made my way out to this lovely spot and found myseld a very well put together cache. K8'n'Co always manage something a little out of the ordinary

Clue noted, log signed, all returned as found. Thanks K8'n'Co for the cache.

What to do when you win 2 free scoops of gelato in a cafe 45 km away from home ? Take the geohounds on a caching walk to earn it of course, and this was one of our lucky finds in this forest

Thanks K8'n'Co

Cool props, this was fun, definitely try and find.

Another day out chasing caches to fill both hidden date and hidden month. I decided to chase another old cache today. This cache is 12 years old and it older than my kids. was the main one today. Pick up two today.
Keep my streak going to #238 days. TFTC K8’n’CO #1584

Found it. love the hat

Kids tried to scramble up the hill. we found an easier way for the way down

Nice challenge for us newbies

Quick find after a nice walk to G.Z. TFTC,

The fifth hill climb for the day, but worth it to be a bush ranger for a minute TFTC

After a couple of weeks stuck indoors with too little exercising, and too much peoplising, I needed to address both issues. This afternoon I hiked nearly 10kms, enjoying the light breeze and lovely trees. And not interacting with a single of them humans. Plenty of birds, an owl even, a few lizards and skinks, one bored wallaby and snake.

With the first half of my hike done I headed out this way and nabbed this one along the way, righting a long left DNF here. Another step closer to capturing this now elderly and frail bushranger.

Thanks K8'n'Co. for entertaining me at this location.

Monday. Yet another K8’n8Co cache that we haven’t found – so we were in the area today and thought we couldn’t let this one get past us (at least we confident there weren’t going to be any bee hives around as in this last cache we tried to find!) We spotted a dead giveaway as to the location of the cache as we came up to GZ and a quick look soon had the cache container in hand. Clue noted and log signed, cache replaced and we were on our way again to the next cache. Nice quick find on this one

This was the 6th of 12 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***K8'n'Co.***, for showing us this place.

.

Out and about with Jelly the Wonderdog creating a few new smilies.
We enjoyed the stroll to GZ and it didn't take long to find the fun cache.

Thanks for the smiley K8'n'Co.

Great fun find tftc

Good find. Very good hiding place. Found with M005. TFTC

Great cache and loved the history, TFTC.

I was out for a MTB ride with Ruzzelz this morning and found ourselves nearby. I left the track and headed bush while Ruzzelz waited with the bikes. Unfortunately, just as I got near GZ, my GPSr had a moment. A bit of looking around though and I spotted what could only be the cache. I recorded the clue and headed back down to join Ruzzelz on the, lamentably, bitumen trail.

Done

Find #2047 at 15:09 while on a walk with the family (who waited on the trail below, and missed out on the smiley this time

Looks like Lightning Dan had shot through moments before our arrival (we probably scared him off), but in his hurry he left some clues, we're now on his trail.

Thanks for the cache (and the series), K8'n'Co. Looking forward to working our way through this series at looong last....

Cool, we found our first geocach! But we forgot to take a pen to write in the log. Lesson learned!

Bristracker and I had a long very hot day of geocaching between the CITO and bookend events. With a large number of solved puzzles on the list we tackled a few in the area. This was the final piece in the puzzle I needed to get the Bushranger #1 cache. I loved this cache, so cool!!! TFTC
