Albany Creek Bridgeman Downs, Queensland, Australia
By Mongy (adopted by strong-arm) on 08-Mar-08. Waypoint GC19ZF3

I have less time available for Geocaching so I am archiving this cache.

Can the owner please check this cache. There is a list of DNF's piling up.

Signs of heavy water being through here with the floods. Could not find cache. Possibly missing.

Had a good look for this in a couple of obvious spots with no luck. There's been a lot of water through here since it was last found on november 7 last year. I think maybe its gone. Thanks anyway strong-arm

Log soggy, so couldn't write entry. Good hide.

Found with Traimks. TFTC =)

The final cache of the day, found at 16:55 with Shell-A. TFTC.

Found this one easily, we think it had been muggled as it was opened up and scattered, but we put it all back together and re-hid it. TFTC. Ps. A good spot to take your dog for a swim, our puppy fell in the creek! Was hilarious

This was the first cache of 19 for the day, on a rather wet day out caching. a nice area to visit, the creek had plenty of water in it today, I had no trouble on the hide. My thanks to Mongy (adopted by strong-arm) for the cache.

Took 2 trips here but finally found - big hint - closer to us than we thought

A good early morning find in a nice spot, with no muggles around, thanks.

=) TFTC !! TNLN SL =)

Took us a little while, looked where we thought it would be, couldn't find it, but then ended back there and found it. Yay!

Looked where I thought it would be but couldn't find it. Didn't do any digging. Maybe I'll go back and try again some time.

I arrived at this one to find it completely exposed, sitting on top of what I assumed was its hidey hole... I took it back to the nearby table for business before burying it a little better in the place that I found it in... [^]

A little unerving when they are exposed to that extent... Hopefully, it stays safe for a while now...

Cheers Strong-arm.

Told geodaughter to "start looking over there", she said "for this?". Quick find. TFTC.

Nice quick and easy find this morning, log book logged at 9:10am. TFTC!!!!

NIce quick find -First for the day
Found at 8:50 - TFTC.

After a quick search found the cache partially exposed. Replaced it and covered it as well as possible as there is not much camo material near to hand.
TFTC

This one is pretty much a drive by cache, nice and quick and easy. TFTC

A bit exposed, tried to conceal it more but EngPhil looked up at just the wrong moment! Nice little spot. TFTC

Quick find, partly because I happened to glimpse Palopinto walking back from retrieving it while sitting in the car on the phone trying hard to avoid seeing where she found it. Oops.

Very easy find with Radnoski as it was quite a bit exposed. Covered up a bit better. TFTC!

TFTC. Nice easy one in nice little park.

Took nothing. Left some foreign coins.

It took me a sadly long time to find this one, but at last I did and log signed.

Children make excellent disguises! Two muggles sitting merely metres from the cache, so we decided to search the area for frogs for the geo-niece Found, signed and popped back without suspicion. TFTC ='.'=

Had some time to kill while awaiting the return of a friend, so wen't and found this cache. Lovely spot, Thanks.

Grabbed this one this morning in the slight drizzle. Lovely spot here beside the creek. Quick find
TFTC

great Cache and nice little spot to stop for the shade in the heat. easy find TFTC left some bits for the geokids

second time and finally found it. Co-ords kept me coming back to the picnic table and total search could not find. Had to r-check details and return to-day. Couple stopped beside me when I arrived and the driver said he was having a nature break. Luckily he used the next tree as he toilet. And the cache was completely dry.

Yes! Another strike for Mini-ogre!!!! Took a while to find this because found with the Pride a while back when Mini-ogre didn't exist. Anyhow- cache in good condition Took TB-LN-SL- TFTC

Finally got a chance to go back and have a second go at this one and wouldn't you know it, the Geogranny finds it before I've even got out of the car!!

Cache was a bit exposed, possibly because of the rain, so we gave it a bit more cover

Took Travel Lizard, left Travel Pirate. TFTC

I was worried that the flood had washed it away, but on further searching i found i was at the wrong tree! =P

Dropped off The Travel Lizard Geocoin.

Up on holiday from Adelaide & on the way to Albany Ck leisure centre. Found with my muggle cousin from Zillmere to introduce him with anice easy one

ive never actually noticed this park before. it was nice and quiet at 7.50am. no muggles so it was a nice easy find.
took car
left scoobie

Seen this park on many occasions, not until now ventured in, a nice spot for our picnic lunch, Geonanna made a quick find here. TFTC

I have been past here many, many times and today was the first time I stopped for a look. Enjoyed a picnic lunch in the beautiful surrounds.
Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here

A great lunch stop with a cache to boot! Thanks.

Found cache easily, lady on a horse gave me a bit of a start. TFTC

Searched and Searched with the assistance of two of the GeoCaching family, But no luck. Searched, High and Low, and all around but cache was not to be found.... I hope it hasnt been muggled again.

Lovely heaps tree and Lovely breeze...

366 - Found this one easily at 12:31pm. TFTC and replacing it strong arm. FTF the new log book.

Thanks for getting this one back up and running!!! Hopefully this time it lives a long happy successful life TFTC

Put a new cache in place to replace the missing one.

Dropped in to replace the cache but was unable to due to a muggle infestation, will try again soon!

Four DNFs in a row for what should be an easy cache, I suspect it has been muggled.

Looked everywhere. But I just could not find it. A nice spot.

DNF which was disappointing as expected this to be an easy one.

Looked everywhere and couldn't find it so I gave up and kept caching...

Have to log a DNF for this one. We spent a good 20 mins looking and relooking for this one over and over again in the five or so logical places. Have to try again another day.

There were muggles in the park when we first arrived. The sight of us made them leave so we had the place to ourselves. Found quickly.

Had a look for this one back in January this year, but it was missing in action at the time. Today I managed to convince the van to turn off South Pine Road and I found it without the GPSr. TN/LN/SL.

At 11:51. Took one of the 2 similar geocoins. TFTC.

I've been waiting for this one to reappear. An easy find today with no water problems. TFTC

Last one for the day, quick find and on our way...

Found this cache in this peaceful little spot on the way home from work today.
Took a GC,
Left the Op Azure GC.

Finally came back online so we jumped at it.
Ogre No: 1 found itafter looking at the same spot twice.
A lovely spot

Another Strike from Black Ops.
Had to wait for a bunch of Ogres to leave.

Nice easy find. Looks like a lot of water came through here with the recent rain. TFTC TNLNSL.

Finally I managed to get back here (ok, I was chasing a FTF on another cache... poor excuse but the cache is back!).

I might look to replace this slightly higher over winter as if the cache was there it would have certainly been washed away.

Foiled again! The park was busy again today when I came past to drop a new cache in... third time is the charm i'm sure

Grrr! I finally remembered I had to replace this cache and I made a fresh one up this week. When I got there today there was a learner driver settled down for lunch a few metres from GZ.

Cache will be back soon, I promise!

I called in to check on this one and was unable to find the original container. I had prepared a larger container (an ammo tin) to place here in case this happened but I could not find a suitable place to put it that was in the original area so I will return with a smaller container soon.

Even though we didn't find the cache, we did find a sleepy possum in one of the trees. There must have been quite a bit of rain the night before as one little cubby hole in one tree was filled with water and I swear I saw a baby frog in there!

Had the place to myself for ages this afternoon but that didn't help me find the cache. GPSr had me near a table but several trees were in the vicinity. Well, the place needed a clean up .

A muggle sitting at the nearby table with a laptop looked like she was there for a while so I gave it a miss for today.

Found it this afternoon with my friend after finally getting my first GPSr!

Having lots of fun finding cache. TNLN
Thanks!

Hi this is our first cache as we are just getting into geocaching having been introduced by our friend from Hawaii.
Located the cache - traded the hotwheels car for a Hawaii dolphin hatpin. Thanks for the cache- its all safe and dry - from the Fractured Ducks

Checked your cache this afternoon while i was out and about. even with all the rain and flooding in that area, the cache is still fine.

Great little park by the creek, had no problems finding your cache. Good work on the cam, i think i will use this design for one of mine. swapped Latvian Coin for a hot wheels car. TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Found easily. Quick dash and grab whilst geokids played in this and adjacent park. TFTC.

This was our 4th for the day

Found eventually after a choice of trees. Pleasant area in the burbs. Left Latvian coin. TFTC.

a few good hiding spots here, eventually found the right one.

No 62 of 205 on the weekend caching spree in Brisbane with The Rats and Big Matt & Shell.

Found this one as darkness was approaching. TFTC!

In Brissy for a caching blitz with Steeba and Big Matt. A quick find just on dusk. 62 of 203. thanks

Found on the Brisbane Caching Invasion with Steeba and The Rats.

Thanks Mongy for the cache.

TNLNSL

Cache was in it's hidey-hole but totally exposed so found easily.

Signed log and hid a little better. TNLN TFTC.

Nice spot beside the creek. Good place for a picnic

Albany Creek Creek was transferred from Mongy to user strong-arm

What a nice spot for a picnic, TFTC

Found this cache today. Geogirl (7) found her 2nd cache! GPSr went a little psycho, but we got there eventually. We were looking for somewhere more obscure! IN: highlighter pen. OUT: toy car. TFTC.

Found on the way back to the unit, 41st for the day, thanks for the placement.

Thanks

Good find, last of the day, or should I say night? One of three we were driving past on our way home so just had to stop of course.

0674 re-logging due to name change

674 Easy find in what is still a great little park with convenient parking. TFTC Mongy

Found it good spot no swaps

Revisited today to sign log with a pen to replace the mud we'd used previously. It was much easier to get to the park now that the workmen have packed up and gone.

Stopped by on my way home from Chermside. Haven't stopped here for years!! A quick find, nice hide! TNLN. Came back this afternoon to introduce my brother to geocaching. He swapped keyrings.

Geokid made a beeline to the swings while Dad started to hunt. Cache was found quickly but replacing it was a bit tricky. Workmen turned up to do a clean up of the park while we were signing the log!
TFTC (and the swings)

Again GPS was playing havoc (must have been the rain!) but we managed to find this one after a short time using the clue.

10:59 Nice quick find between showers Thanks For the Cache SL

#06 for the day after a late start for caching, but then again, cacher is a cacher any time of day

TFTC / TNLN

Greetings from South Africa

Because of work trucks we walked in from the fruit shop 300m up the road. I think we fluked this one and found it at the second place we looked. Unfortunately pen was back at the car. But it had just rained (on us) and there was a handy mud puddle nearby that we used to sign our name with. Swapped toys. There was no geocoin. TFTC.
