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.

My first find on this trip to the Gold coast/ Brisbane. Found with Philfi beautiful warm winters day
Last day in Queensland before heading south for a bit and found this one. My muggle partner knew just where to look and made his first find. I think we have a convert. lol. Have called him WonderSerf. TFTC. TNLN
Found today on a lovely winter afternoon . Dropped the white jeep tb to travel further
Was quiet today with no one around. Could see the cache from a distant. Covered it up. TFTC
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.
Found pretty quickly. What a beautiful spot. I had no idea this place existed despite being familiar with the area. TFTC!!!
A few days break in Brisbane and some time for a river side drive. Nice spot to stop and check the scenery and the cache. TFTC, Biggles(NZ).
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!

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
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

What a lovely spot! We had a swooping visit from some native wildlife while hunting around. Decide to move the travel coin. LN, SL. TFTC!
A most welcomed spot to sit down in the early Saturday morning to watch the river and the boats going by! We enjoyed it here on the banks.

Found the cache nice and dry, not exposed.
Looks like it could be a nice spot (except it was a bout to rain . . .)

2nd for the day. The cache was easily located... maybe a little too easily located.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
Nice spot. Sat on the nearby bench to sign the logbook. Retrieved San Diego Geocaching Geocoin as it's been here a while. Thanks for the cache!
Nice quick find for our first cache of the day, once the Taxi driving muggle had hit the road that is.

Found at 12.21pm. A very easy find on a very quiet morning. The river looked lovely today. TFTC
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.
Accompanied with PatOx for the day. Nice easy found it. Nice view as well. SL. Thanks Steve & Family for organising the cache and hunt.
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.
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.

Found by the Australnaughts on 09/08/08. We had a lot of fun and swapped a toy hedgehog for some beads. The cache is still in perfect condition.
Thanks NastySteve!

Another spot that I drive past on my way to and from work each day. I took the opportunity to stop this afternoon and try out the new GPSr - works a treat!
Thanks to NastySteve & Family for the cache. Cheers, HawMorFords.

An easy find and a great view of the river. My son couldn't work out what to swap in so we TNLN, TFTC.
Nice easy find. Nice spot to look out and contemplete the future and the past but I was in haste to get to the next cache! TFTC
Nice and easy thank you! Im glad we did this one in the dark, the drop off looks a little too scarey!
A stop off on a lazy river loop this morning, nice spot to watch nothing much at all!!

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 . Oh well, at least there was a cache there . 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.
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
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
Was working in the area and had some time to kill, so whats a cacher to do, nice easy find TNLN TFTC.
Nice easy find while caching in the area. The grass at GZ is getting a bit geo-trampled! TFTC

A lovely riverside spot for a break from the bike ride

Dropped in the Monsterman travel bug.

A very relaxing spot, although some-one has discarded their expensive looking running weights almost on top of the cache. TFTC
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 3:04pm. Quite an easy find. I would not like to go down the slope too far; it is very steep. TNLNSL TFTC
Only 899th for me Wingaap.
Easily found just on dusk.
Took nothing except the great view and dropped off Schnute the Pig TB.

....and this makes 900!!!! Yeah! I finally made it...and what a pleasant spot to rack up this milestone
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.
Thanks to Steve and Family for the cache and the introduction to the area.
Found this one ok and a nice scenery as well. TFTC

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.
