No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache [red]in the next couple of months[/red], just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

The area has large sections under repair with orange barricades, new benches and BBQ. No cache anywhere. Robjane, please stop by and either confirm it's still there, archive it, or replace it. Thanks.

Did have quite a thorough search in between Citycat-muggles coming and going. No success. Maybe the owner could check if this one has survived the floods at all?
TFTH

Bit hard to seach today as everyone including the Lord Mayor and media were here for the relaunch of the City Cats post flood. A flotilla of 15 Citycats and 8 Rivercats paraded past as we tried to seach the area surrepticiously. Although we couldn't make a thorough search the area looks flood effected. We will keep an eye on this one and hope the next time we visit half of Brisbane isn't there as well.

All too much water Brief stop before traveling in New Zealand

I was curious why this one hasn't had any logs for a month or so - when it was usually visited many times a month. Could it be that others don't post DNFs? Well I shall be posting one today. With a view of a very swollen river, I had a bit of a hunt but could not come up with anything. I'll keep this on watch in case my GPSr was telling me fibs or I was blind. TFTH.

Nice spot. Thanks for guiding me here. Was just a short stopover during my trip with the ferry through Brisbane today.

Beautiful day to be near the river. TFTC

Nice location. Me and the geopartner had a bit of a romantic moment on the bench after dinner at a local pizza shop. Log book full left a note book page signed. TFTC

This was a great little park and I enjoyed watching the ferries coming and going. A nice easy cache, or it would have been if my GPS was a little more accurate. It only tells me when I am within 6 metres but in this case it was enough. TFTC

I found it after a muddy trek around the park. I love this slightly overcast weather. A few muggles about with ferries coming and going bur nothing we can't handle happy hunting all

What a windy day! And bleak weather too. Thank you Brisbane for making me feel right at home - just like Melbourne! Okay, okay, I'll grant you that it was a bit warmer . . . and . . the sky was blue . . . and . . . I didn't need to wear a jumper.

W h a t e v e r . . .

Anyway after Mrs Biggles pinged this one yesterday whilst I was slaving over a hot computer in the office, I decided I couldn't let it pass unchallenged so set off for a short walk to hunt down the cache. Fortunately it was quite an easy find although a Ms Muggle from the RiverCat propaganda department disturbed proceedings by explaining why the 'Cats weren't operating. Didn't explain why the 'Cats picked us victims up from Bulimba last Thrusday only to unceremoniously dump us at New Farm!

But I digress . . Lovely location for a cache and TFTC

My first cache whilst visiting Brisbane, no problem with muggles as the ferries arn't running and the park is empty and despite the overcast conditions I enjoyed just sitting to enjoy the view. The cache does have quite a few little harmless visitors but they didn't stop me logging.

This was cache # 24 of 30 for the day, on another nice warm days caching. A nice spot to sit and log a cache, except it started raining so i ran back to the car. My thanks to robjane, kat+drew for the cache.

We were lucky to find a spot close to the ferry terminal and fortunately there were only a few muggles in the nearby playground. The cache was easily retrieved - we signed the log while enjoying the great views across the river. TFTC

Found with Skatterling on a day's cruise up and down the Brisbane River. Spur of the moment idea -

Skatterling: 'There's a cache nearby',
Barberanne: 'Quick! Before the ferry leaves the jetty, let's get off...'

No further discussion, just lots of scrambling, then peace and quiet as we sat and admired the view for a while. TFTC!

Our last day in Brisbane and we had a stunning cruise on the city cat ferry. I love any type of boat so was in my element. Spotted a cache nearby where we were stopped so hurried off before the ferry moved off again. It was an easy find and we sat and enjoyed the view until the next ferry came. Thanks for showing us this tranquil part of Busy Brizzy and T4TC =)

Found it No. 2947 ... saw the City Cat pull up ... TNLN TFTC

Very busy sunday arvo, overmuggled, we were a romantic couple enjoying sunset...

A plesant ferry ride, short stop to locate this cache and then back on the ferry. TFTC

found with anddad stopped for lunch to wait for some people to leave

Found at 1220Hrs. Nice spot for a picnic and heaps of others seem to agree. Had to wait for a group to move away from GZ (nice spot to wait too with good views) and then it was a quick find. bluegonz made the find.
Thanks robjane, kat+drew

Found this cache while on holiday in Brisbane and surrounds. Thanks For The Cache TNLN SL

Couple of muggles hanging around the cache but luckily we grabed it while they wern't looking [^]. Good hide TFTC

Found it, thanks.

Lovely park on a lovely day although there were a lot of people aroud and stealth was required. Thanks for the cache.

[Came past a few days ago,] but there was somebody sitting on the bench. [ All clear today. TFTC]

Found it. Didn't have a pen to leave a message, but was still a nice moonlit walk in the river

Found at 1036 with Marg. Had to come back to this one because when we first visited the GZ earlier a couple of muggles decided to have breakfast there. Nice riverside views. Cache good and dry. TFTC.

To find a parking spot was nearly the most difficult part of this cache.
Pretty nice view over the river.

Had to wait for a short time for the citycat to pick up a bunch of curious muggles but once they were gone, the cache was quickly in hand. Nice views. TFTC robjane

Hmm. Well, p0m and I found it this time, but it was in a spot that I feel certain we checked last time. No matter! Didn't have anything small enough to leave. TFTC

Nice tranquil river tonight, found with captainflux. TFTC!

lovely view on ship thanks

Nice view at river and found with geofriend and dog...........

Couldn't park anywhere near it due to all the people parking there to catch the ferry! Then there were some people sitting right at GZ, but fortunately they left fairly quickly and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for showing me this spot.

Had to time my attempt with the city cats and muggles on the way to city adventures on this Saturday afternoon/evening. TN/LN/SL. Just made it as the sun was gone and I was just able to see to write my name.

Nearly gave up in this one as light was fading and many muggles were about. After dark the muggles fled and we went for one last search and hoo raa we found it. Had no pen so couldn't leave a mark. 4 from 4.

Only a few walking muggles in the vacinity when I hit GZ around 0710 this morning. I relaxed and enjoyed the view while I conducted the search. Oops, my sholace is undone... how did that happen... Oh hang on, there's a cache here too... Well I never....

As I signed the log, CityCats came from both directions so I was forced to enjoy the views a little longer before returning the container. What a shame... [^]

I have pulled up here a couple of times before but would never have got close with the bazillion muggles in the park both times. An early morning strike is just the things for this one.

Cheers robjane, kat+drew.

There were lots of parents and kids at the nearby playground but I was able to search quietly while enjoying the view. TFTC

Caught ferry from K9 NewFarm across to this one. Got off the ferry and walked to ground zero only to see our return citycat coming along so we literally had seconds to do a quick snatch, write on the log and run back to the ferry terminal. The families having BBQ's in the park must have wondered what the heck was wrong with us! Nice restful ferry ride back to Southbank. TFTC...eatmorchikin & Stigglepot.

Lovely and quiet by the river when I arrived. Found it at 0800hrs.

TFTC

popped over on the ferry for a visit

At 1509.

It would have only taken a few minutes if we had not made the mistake of agreeing to talk to a BCC woman with a survey concerning the CityCat on which we had just arrived.

Took a TB. TFTC.

quiet little park and a nice easy cache find
cheers TFTC
TN L travel bug

Went there today with GeoConspirator p0m. We had a good fix on the location, but were unable to locate the cache. We have a fair idea where it should have been - there was one possible spot we weren't able to check due to a firmly entrenched grandmother, but it was displaced a good 10m from GZ. Either the coords were off and the cache was in that spot, or it's gone walkies.

What a romantic spot for valentine's day!

Never been to this area before.
Beautiful place here.
TFTC

Found today with Bonnie, a few muggles to avoid but discovered after a quick search. TFTC!

With flower1. Went early in the morning, but still lots of traffic.
Found it, but hard to remove from hiding place. Liked this one.

Found with Geo-sister. This one was pretty tricky because of muggle traffic but we took lots of photos and talked on the GPS for a while to distract the observers. Eventually they all went away and we were able to grab the cache and do the business.
Thanks for the cache.

Travelled all the way from Ireland to get this one! Had a group of kids to help with the search. The place was crowded with families having a party and plenty of casual sightseers. We wait until the coast was clear and got thre DZ just where you said it was. Signed the log. This was Shannon's first find and made and interesting in troduction to goecaching. Many Thanks

Have been waiting for this to be available again . Easy find to end a busy work day. Lots of Big Cats about depositing the unfortunate city working muggles - who were none the wiser as to what I was doing whilst "relaxing". Thanks for the cache robjane et al - svn07.

23.00.... My friends and I had a lovely dinner at Bulimba then went home for the night so went to this GZ once more before headed home. Find it quick and easy too. Took Geocoin. TFTH SL

This cache is now repaired and available

dropped off Just a Trifle's Caught Red Handed Geocoin

Temporarily disabled - cache appears to have been removed possibly when the area was recently upgraded.

Not found today - this may need a quieter time for searching.

Found on tour with OMY130 TNLN TFTC

I'm sure I've done another cache here some time ago. Today the wind nearly blew my hat away finding this one.

Found it - excellent hide spot. Enjoyed view the river and boat etc. SL. Thanks robjane, kat+drew for organising the cache and hunt.

found with zenelf who promptly left to go play on the swings
TFTC TNLN SL

found with Claeton (Dad) nice and quick then it took him an hour to get me out of the playground he enjoyed it as much as I did...lol
TFTC TNLN SL

Couldn't find it...is it bad geoetiquette to ask for help?

My first ever attempt at finding a geocache was unsuccessful but a great day out anyway.

The park has beeen extensively refurbished since the cache was placed so it may have been removed.

Out with The Lost Bunch and i saw it first TFTC

Out with Caebs today. While i taking in the surroundings, Caebs got his hands on the booty.

TFTC

Found with some muggle friends while cruising the river on the citycat. TNLNSL TFTH

A nice easy find with a great view.

Nice view of the old building and river from here. Some works in the park being done, but the cache is save and sound.

We found it after waiting some time for a River Cat to move along. The park is undergoing a makeover and much of it is fenced off so it is not at its prime at the moment.
TNLN TFTC

Great views and a nice easy find. TFTC

We found this one, it was right under our noses. Found it on Australia day! On the way the the fire works, witch was fun. Thanx
nicnick out.

Quick find, nice outlook, no ants.

TFTC

Arrived here just as a CityCat pulled in. After waiting for the masses of muggles to disperse, we quickly found the cache. This is a lovely place to be late in the afternoon! Thanks for the cache!

aaaargh!,nice'n'easy sail up to this one,just as i was readin' discript to ye' gallywench who found it she got bit by a crazy african ant!,i could'nt stop laughin'!,thankin' ye' and happy new year.

Not a person around early this morning making this an easy find and a pleasant place to look over the water. TFTC

Replaced container, sprayed for ants and placed geo coin

#7 of 11 finds on my first afternoon/night in Brisbane. I found this one at 1755. There was a muggle waiting to pick up someone from the City Cat, and he decided to parade up and down right in front of GZ! The Cat finally arrived, he departed, and I was able to nab the cache. A colony of the smallest ants I have ever seen had set up shop in the cache! I evicted them and their eggs, but I doubt that we have seen the last of them. I made no exchange. Thanks to robjane, kat+drew for the cache. Cheers, dak.

A quick easy find. TFTC. This spot brings back memories as on my husband's and mine first ever date we came here and sat on the wall and chatted for ages.

I came to this cache with my Aunt jabes7, but I found it while she provided a distraction. On the way back to the car a boy asked us to play cricket with him, but we had other caches to find. TFTC.

My 8 yo nephew Daniel found this one at 15.40 today. I provided cover while he had a look as there were muggles close by. We were signing the log when we were asked if we would be wicket keeper for a cricket game, but we had to decline as there were more caches to find. Remembered to have a look at the river and scenery before we left - nice spot. TFTC Robjane, kat+drew.

This was the last cache for the day for all four of THENANKS. The geoboys took the oppportunity for a bit of 'one on one' on the basketball court while Mumma and Dadda NANKS made a quick find, signed the log and then enjoyed the serenity! [^]

It was getting dark by the time we left but we still managed to sneak in a family basketball game (Dadda and Tom won by one shot [:(!]) I'm sure Mumma and Isaac had more style though!

Thanks for bringing us to such a pretty spot!

Well hidden - nice cache - A bag of silica inside what a good idea

A brief night excursion to the dark side. This is a beautiful spot...even more so in the evening with the lights reflecting upon the water....a cool breeze and in the company of FindaLot and Map Monkey.

A nice easy find. Cache is dry..but the lid needs repair.

Thanks Robjane, Kat and Drew

Now....off to the Coffee Club

Wingaap found this cache, after Map Monkey and I were searching nearby.

Leaving my torch in the car, and also having the wrong coords didn't help.

This cache location has magnificent views across the river towards the City.

Thanks for the well placed cache.

Found this cache at night (much more quieter than daytime) in the good company of others....

Thanks for the cache.

mm

Virtually had the place to ourselves. Can't imagine what the rates would be for the neighbours. TFTC

Yayy!!! Number 50!! Only a quick stop to mark this milestone, but a find none-the-less! A tourist muggle was inadvertently keeping guard, but the cache was obtained with very little effort! TFTC.

Quick find in a park with excellent views! Needs a new container as the lid has come loose. Used tape from first aid kit for temporary fix. TFTC

I was down by the riverside,
down by the riverside....
DOOOOOWWWWNNNN by the riverside....

Lovely quiet spot on an Ekka of a day

The cache looked like it had been moved from it's hidey hole by muggles and stomped on [:o]
I found the slightly worse for wear container nearby. It's back where it should be, but a new box is needed soon.

Out on this Ekka holiday to grab a few with Weekend Maverick (and the GeoHarem).. Even Mrs Rastas came along!!

What If said, and I had a new case but did not have any glue to attach the accoutrements....

TFTC TNLN SL

Rastas & MrsRastas (in his car), followed by Me and the GeoHarem (my wife and her two female friends) in the GeoTruck went caching one Ekka public holiday...

TNLNSL

It was a warm winter day to be sitting in a park watching the rive. Had to pull myself away from the view to find a cache.

No one around so it was a simple matter to retrieve it and replace it.

Pity I have to go back to work for the afternoon, I could have sat here for a while longer.

Lots of muggle families playing in the park prevented thorough searching . . .

7th find of the day for Mr & Mrs HMF. A nice easy find in a very pretty spot.... I seem to remember this place as a WP for a multi that's out this way Thanks to robjane, kat+drew for the cache.

Stopped by this morning on my way to hockey training. Nice and uiet not a muggle in sight. TFTC.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:30pm. This is a lovely park to just sit and watch the world go by BUT not today. It was windy, gusty and dusty so no-one was outside; just the day for cachers to go out caching in peace. TNLNSL TFTC
