Found during a raid on Brisbane with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Steeba.

A quick find without the GPS as there wasn't too many places it could be. TFTC.

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4195th overall find. This cache was our 29th out of 101 for the day.

Found at about 09:32 AM. This was one of those caches you don't even need the GPS once your out of the car. A quick find.

Thanks to NastySteve for the cache.

Found today on a lovely winter afternoon . Dropped the white jeep tb to travel further
 
13-May-10
Was quiet today with no one around. Could see the cache from a distant. Covered it up. TFTC Smile
 
Found this one after dropping home Wanee of the GeoHarem and petamitch. This left m44 and myself to be COMPLETELY discreet and sneaky so the two sets of muggles didn't know what we were doing. Mind you, they couldn't have cared less.
 
24-Apr-10
Great spot. Nice and quiet away from the near by muggles.

Fourth attempt and success - can't believe we missed it three times!

Found with captainflux of TSD1824 (Though I did point out the most likely place for it which ended up being the right one. Hah).

TFTC!
 
03-Jan-10
Found with p0m's help. Contents intact, although some metal objects were a little tarnished. Seems that a couple of muggles have stumbled on this, signed the log anyway, and replaced it Smile
 
25-Dec-09
Merry Christmas to all, we had to get away from our smuggle family so went for a walk and found the cach.
TFTC have a happy new year

2nd in the day finding with muzbot
 
25-Jul-09
After seeing the did not find below, we went for a walk past this cache this morning and found it still hidden in its original spot and in good condition.
 
18-Jul-09
Couldn't find this one, we've only just started this so wouldn't say with confidence, but it may have disappeared - the clue indicates a pretty likely location that was bereft of cache.
 
23-May-09
A quick pick up on the way past, indeed a nice spot to sit even if only for a short time while filling out the log. TFTC.
 
26-Apr-09
Nice quick easy find on our way home from an afternoon of cycling and caching. This marks a small but nonetheless still satisfying milestone (20 caches) for us. D&C
 
13-Apr-09
Nice lovely day of Rain to search for caches Smile
 
13-Apr-09
Found at 1345 with the Staunch Gang. a quick find between rain spells. TFTC.
 
13-Apr-09
A quick find,, walked straight up to it. Found easily. TFTH.
 
10-Apr-09
Had a second go today - found it! A few muggles about but pretty quiet.

Figured out that the council mulching did not affect the cache location.

Left a game token and took travel bug "Rashell"

Lovely morning and beautiful views over still river.


 
06-Apr-09
Dropped off TB.
 
02-Apr-09
Found area easily, but city council was mulching the reserve. Returned a couple hours later to find that all the trees had mulch 6" deep around their bases, which made it difficult to search without being obvious. We'll probably return in a couple weeks and try again.
 
26-Mar-09
Nice easy find for the first of the day. Great views of the river.

Parked the car and started walking towards a likely looking area, before realising I was headed in the wrong direction. GZ was that-a-way and was definitely worth the extra paces. Thanks for the cache and a reason to visit the beautiful spot here. SL. Took: Highlighter. Left: Carabiner.

A terribly benign cache given the setter's name - a rare first time find for me, a beautiful spot as well. Dropped off a Wild Emu geocoin.
 
10-Aug-08
Had a couple of hours to fill in this avro so thought we just pop out and grab a couple of caches.

This was the second, and was actually found after we decided to take a break from searching for 'The Hollies' up the road a little way.

Thankfully this was an easy find even with plenty of muggles about, at 4:15pm, we were able to retrieve the cache sign the log and replace it with drawing attention to ourselves.

Out - Hedgehog

Thanks NastySteve!

Np with this one. Took trackable.
 
08-Mar-08
This one has been working its way to near the top of the list of 'closest to home'. So, with a bit of spare time, we ducked over and made a quick find. Looks like a great spot to return and watch the world (or at least the river) go by. Only now do I realise that two new caches have appeared just this afternoon high in the nearest list so its a case of one step forwards and two steps back. No swaps made. TFTC.

What a way to spend Valentine's Day. Sitting beside the river, thinking romantic thoughts [:X] ... by myself Twisted. Oh well, at least there was a cache there Smile. Had to keep an eye on the dog park and playground across the road, but managed to grab this one without arousing suspicion. Took a super ball and left the Crocodile Rock TB. Enjoyed the peace and quite while signing the log. Great spot you've found here Steve.

Found this one some time ago but forgot to log it.
 
29-Jan-08
Did a little night caching with Mr Nanks. Very convenient seeing we are staying at the Nanks carapark. Interesting to hear about Mr Nanks early memories of the area. Found the cache after a while of searching. Not an easy one to do in the dark and a bit damp underfoot. Thanks Steve & Family
 
29-Jan-08
Find number 1420, Bruce from Liz and Bruce and I decided that some westy caches needed to be found.This is a place we used to paddle to on any piece of floating debris that would wash up in the reeds. I grew up ( some people might argue with that )around the river bend at Chelmer. We spent so much time catching shrimps and catfish along here. We also had caves directly below here ( not very safe kids ) that we made.Thanks for bringing me back here. This was our 7th tonight. TFTC Cheers THENANKS

This are was devoid of muggles this morning. Perhaps the early morning showers were keeping them indoors. A nice easy find with the cache dry and in good condition.

Lovely and peaceful here tonight. Love caching at night but sometimes it makes it really difficult. This is a perfect night cache. Haven't been here for years. Would like to see it in the daylight now. Thanks for bringing us and for the cache. Smile
