Redlands # 4 Capalaba, Queensland, Australia
By happyharries on 15-Mar-08. Waypoint GC1A7KQ

Today, it was a very early start to kayak from Wynnum to Green Island as per the Community Celebration Event. Sea conditions were rough, but we managed to make the 5.6 km paddle to then enjoy the event, and it was easier to paddle back with the wind. Whilst on the south side with the kayak, THE GREEN GECKOS, Muggle65, E_Smiley and I then took another kayak paddle (although much shorter) from Cleveland to Cassim Island to see the Toondah wreck, which was an enjoyable and leisurely paddle amongst the mangroves.
Following a bite to eat, E_Smiley and I then targeted a few nearby oldies, before taking a walk around The Puzzling Trail. A very enjoyable walk and highly recommended; I managed to make a few more stops in the Capalaba area, before heading home.

I was driving home along this road, passing right by this archived geocache, so I thought I would take a quick stop and check on it. At least with these sort of geocaches, you get quick feedback to a yay or nay, and it looks like that Blacklegend's throwdown geocache container is no longer here. At least I knew the cache type (film canister) that I could almost certainly rule this geocache out from being present. Thanks anyway happyharries for the cache placement.

Found one on our way home from coochie island found with diamonjs. TFTC

On our way home from a lovely day on coochie when Rusty85 looking at the GPS says hey there's a cache here, quickly pull over we check our phones no no cache hmmm maybe its an archive still in the GPS, we dodge the traffic, wait ages for traffic to thin then start our look, nice easy find, then to wait to retrieve for traffic to slow again, do the sign, wait to put back, time to cross the road not a car in sight, drive off still haven't seen another car:) TFTC

cache find # 1540. Had been to Cleveland for a day of geocaching, and this one was on our way home. Yay, finally a smiley face for us. Found easily this time. TFTC.

Out on the south side collecting a few archived caches.
Just one more for the drive home.
Stopped nearby and wandered over to GZ.
Searched in between traffic and soon made the find.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks happyharries All good with this cache

Found on a solo caching adventure..... longer log to follow

I was driving past this one so even though it has been archived I knew it was still here so had to make the find. Timed the grab and return between passing traffic.

I still had this one in my phone from the last time I was up this way. I forgot to grab it and then it got archived so a quick pit stop today and I soon found the replacement.
TFTC happyharries and thanks for placing a new container blacklegend.

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

When I saw this one was disabled pending archiving, I was disappointed I would have to let it go. So was happy to see it had been replaced, Thank-you Blacklegend.

It took me a a little to find the cache, in it's new location, but not to long, on my way to the markets on Sunday morning.

TFTC

This was a quick find after a nice visit with Ms Maddy and geo friends. TFTC

Found after being replace by Blacklegend a few days before.

Thanks

With Griffo we were happy to find it.TFTC.

Backed up the Saturday with another day walking with the kids. Had with me today, James again and also 5yo Marindah. We did 4 seperate bushwalks, picked up a few solved puzzles, and some great caches on the day. Saw a lot of wildlife, including 4 Goannas. I got stung by a very nasty Bull Dog ant and bitten by some sort of spider on the same ankle, and it still hurts over a day later. The pitfalls of caching. Still it was a fun day had by myself and the kids. Thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I hope no one minds, but I was sick of driving past this. I had a stack of spare containers in the car, so grabbed one and put it in. Cache maintenance compelte. To be honest, I don't mind replacing a few caches in the area. I find so many, my way of giving a bit of thanks back. Now some others who have not crossed it off the list, can enjoy the find.

It's now a film can in the guard rail end.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

You can add OrionJ and I to the list of DNFs here!

This CO does not maintain caches

The cache is not loved any more or is it there

I have noticed the CO is still logging in maybe they would like to check this one or Archive it?

Add me to the DNF list teamdfl (a previous finder) and I stopped on our way past, and today the cache is definitely not where she found it. The CO needs to check this one.

In the area doing caches nearby, so thought we might try our luck, but appears like previous logs that the cache is no longer there..

Even though we had read the previous logs as DNF's, we were doing caches nearby, so tried our luck. Didn't find the cache. It sure isn't there.

Looks like it's either well hidden or gone. 7/6/2013

Sorry to say appears to be gone. Found #2 earlier so thought similar positioning however no good.

Managed to get one cache today on the way to our friends house.
Thanks to happyharries.

Quick find and cache was nice and dry!!

Great spot, thanks happyharries!

As a proud Redlands resident I love grabbing these Redlands caches. It's taken me a little while to get to this one because I always seem to pass through this beautiful location during busy periods.

But today, while I was on my way to my first orienteering race at a nearby bushland reserve I stopped the Suzuki geobike on the side of the road and scampered across the race track (well, road but some people seem to think it's a race track). The cache was lying out in the open near the GZ so I collected it, signed the log and rehid it where I think it came from (based on where the other Redlands caches are hidden).

The log has been saturated at some point but the paper has dried out and is totally usable.

Quick find on my way home.

Out and about today, going solo looking for smilies.
I had to park on the side of the raod and cross over to grab this one. Got to be quick with this one with the passing traffic.
Thanks for the cache. The cache is dry and OK.

Driving by with soninlaw...we just had to stop and grab.........got rasberries from son and mate who just happened to passby going the other way while signing. Log is dry enough to sign. thanks

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Was nearby for a geokid activity so popped out to grab a few while over this way..... Alot of traffic for a Sunday so was having a tad of trouble searching do paf to check I was thinking right.... Found where I thought it would be eventually between very thick traffic.... Couldn't sign log as its still soggy and needs attention

As previously logged this one still has not have the log replaced and the paper is a wet soggy lump, needs replacing to be usable!

Found. Log just a wad of wet & unuceable paper. Nice spot. Pity about the traffic & litter. TFTC jumbucks 13 January 2012 5:40pm

I will drop by tomorrow with a replacement log & restow the old one safely in the same location TFTC jumbucks 13 January 2012 10:35pm

Quick find for me today.
Done the other similar ones so I knew what to look for.
Log was wet.
TFTC.

Found easily today while driving home from a days work in the area. Log was damp, but i easily managed to place my mark on the paper. This is the first one in the series for us. Thanks happyharries

Log is too wet to write on and needs replacing.

Didn't even bother taking GPS with me for this one as GZ was obvious and co-ords are usually wrong for these ones anyway. Picked my time between traffic and grabbed the cache quickly and easily. As for that $20, I don't recall seeing it there. Was a beautiful spot here next to the dam, and hot enough today to make taking a dip tempting (despite obviously not being allowed). I wonder how many more of this series I have left to do? TFTC.

Damm you dark llama lol

found it with my dark llama

Left the $20 in it nice spot

This is a pretty spot and there were people taking photos here when I arrived. There was even a pelican on the lake. I had to wait 5 minutes for the potographers to leave but it was a nice quick find.

The log was very damp but a couple of minutes on my warm dashboard have improved it. Thanks happyharries.

This one has been on my todo list, as We drive passed it every weekend! So Had to stop for a change and take in the view before looking...
TFTC

Quick grab pretty place by the road !!

TFTC SL-TN-LN Do not attempt in Peak hour. Beautiful Area.

TFTC. Unfortunately a lot of rubbish around GZ. Some people are truly disgusting.

Nice easy find find, Although alot of unsavoury stuff lying around the area. Great view of the lake. Took a few photos.
TFTC

Easy find like the others, but this one within reach. TFTC happyharries.

A quick find whilst driving between our planned walks.

TFTC

The nearby water was looking pretty good this arvo.

After finding a few of these caches previously, this one was pretty easy.

Thanks for the cache happyharries. TNLNSL

A quick find on a fairly quiet day on the road when I was there. A nice view from GZ that I have often driven past but never stopped. TFTC.

Tin is looking a little rusty after that big rain.

How co-incidental - our #4 find of the day of caching in the Redlands with Rhesusfactor. Quick find but hard to look inconspicuous on such a busy road. TFTC.

This WAS a quick find TFTC

Quick find on this busy road. Getting back to the car was a little more difficult. Thanks happyharries

We didn't need the GPS for this one having done others in the series. Quick drive-by with great views.

Thanks for the cache

Nice water views here. Thanks for the cache.

#4482 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba and Big Matt. This was a quick drive by cache.
Thanks

Found this cache with steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4276th overall find.

Found at about 10:39 AM. A simple little driveby.

Thanks to happyharries for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found with The Rats and Big Matt and as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

A quick drive by on our way east. TFTC!

Second in the series so a quick find TFTC

I knew where this one was without the GPSr - being familiar with the area. Finding the cache took a bit longer than expected - but located all good. Replaced it's baggie with a smaller, less torn effort. TFTC Happyharries

Found by Mary & David at 1735. After finding #2 earlier, we knew just where to look. Amazing silvery colours on the water. Our thanks again to happyharries.

came back to this one for the second time. Found it easily this time. TFTC

After a long absence ruzzelz decided to return to the deep darkside. Before doing so I thought it best to check in at the border post.

Found it OK. TFTC Tavurvur

Easy find made hard by the streams of cars coming past. I waited 10x longer than it took to find. TFTC

TFTC TNLN SL

Easy find after completing another in the series a couple of months ago. I have been meaning to stop for this one for some time and today I finally made the effort whilst passing.

A nice quick find for Svn07 as Silver Sovereign and I did absolutely nothing at all... We were there for moral support though...

Cheers happyharries.

Found with Svn07 and Gunnie69.

A nice, easy find.

TFTC

Lovely Saturday morning Tour of the Bayside showing Gunnie69 and Silver Sovereign the sights. My second "Redlands" cache...I knew what I was looking for....happy to oblige my companions with the log. Lovely outlook here and some interesting water birds to observe. Thanks for the cache HappyHarries. Cheers, svn07

Well, that's that. All the Redlands series caches are done and dusted.

Easy find and somewhere to park... yeah. TFTC

Last visit here was in March. Found it this time. Marvelous. SL. Thanks happyharries.

A quick easy cache quite predictable now.
Thanks happyharries

Found while out this afternoon with Mr & Mrs Ant24 and geobub, last one for the day! TFTC

Out this afternoon with Mrs Ant and Claire_geo, trying to pick up as many caches as possible before we ran out of light!!

This was the eleventh

Claire_geo quickly located this one, we signed the log and decided to call it a day.

Not a bad effort...11 caches in an afternoon!!


TFTC

my first border find I believe, after a couple of dnfs.

This was cache # 13 of 15 for the day, while the wife took the kids to dream world for the day, the cache was found at 1520. A nice drive by with a great piece of water nearby, I wondered how many times this water way comes over the road as it sure looked high. My thanks to happyharries for the cache.

Easy find after an afternoon having no luck looking for Redlands # 2.
Geokids had to do a bit of sneaking around to get this one in and out of it's hiding spot.

Recognised it only on second glance, after a bit of shuffling around, scratching my head.

TFTC, wemwolf

Did this one in the semi-dark. Timed finding and replacing the cache when there were gaps in the traffic. TFTC happyharries

Found at 0743. Found the GZ quickly had to look hard to locate it found it and then to extract it. Cache ok and dry. TFTC.

Saw that the cache was back in place and would have another go. We were coming back from the Gold Coast this evening and under the headlights, geoson went in and grabbed the cache. He likes these ones.

TFTC

That's better, as the last two visits I couldn't see anything.
I guess it helps if there is a cache to find!!
Horses were in deep water eating the weed! (see photo)

Found it No. 1785 ... easy find ... TNLN

Cache replaced and waiting for the next cacher.

Might be time for a check of this one by the owner.

Stopped the car right on top of it to block the search from view. Hunted around between cars going past. Looked around and under the sign. Even geoson couldn't see it. Lots of ants and spiders though. TFTH I hope it is still there, somewhere...

NOT entered into the book of LEDGIN 'S. Gosh this is a busy road even at 7am on a Sunday. Had a look around and under around GZ but no prize. Bugger.

Should be there but it isnt.
Thanks

Arrived at this one really early this morning and having done one similar thought it would be in the same spot. The co-ords put me on top of where I thought it should be but alas it wasn't to be for me.

Returning to the car to check the PDA I then found that I didn't have any details about this cache or any that I had planned for the day.

So I'll have to return another day!

Thanks for the hunt. Not a good way to start the day.

nice easy find

Love driving past this beautiful place. Great location for a cache. TFTH
