Hi happyharries,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Ministro - Matt

Needs checking
Definitely not there.

Add mine to the list

No Luck today - pretty sure this one has gone on to meet its maker, and will need maintenance

Looked here and there and everywhere could not find anything that could’ve been a cache.

Didn’t attempt as I thought too dangerous
No parking and very busy road ️

On a foggy morning I was on a bit of a time limit and so didn’t do the thorough look but a cursory glance on high and low revealed a big nothing. I will admit that it was a paltry look on my part

Hint said the cache is high, but it was found low, so no need for a boost; if anything, one might need to bend down to see it. Logbook was saturated as the ziplock bag had a hole in it. Have replaced the ziplock and dried the log as best we can. Can confirm that parking next to the road is somewhat dangerous, so do be careful.

Nice quick find... cache is in good nick..

Height wasn't a problem today. But oh the traffic was rather hectic peak hour was probably not the best time to visit. I enjoyed the find and found the cache a little damp. TFTC

Doing a delivery near by so stopped grabbed this one

special day today for rio ... 2000
I only had a few hours to share but was not going to miss her special target day

needed a quick couple on the way and this looked safe
as we approached we realised this is one we have driven past a few times
not today
today u are a smile

Only a few more caches to go to my 2000 cache find milestone. We picked this one up on the way to our target cache. It took us a little while to find the sneak, but we got there in the end. So glad it was cooler today, especially considering the length of the grass around GZ. TFTC happyharries

Was in this area. Coords were spot on so it was a quick find. Was a bit nervy with parking the car near the road though.

TFTC happyharries. Log is damp.

Continuing our hunt this afternoon we headed for this cache. We waited for the clear in the passing muggle traffic and then we searched . A very quick find lead us to have the very new cache container in hand . Thanks for the cache happyharries . TFTC!!!! .

Easy find today, we had no height problems but the cache was very sad, so I replaced the tin, gave it a new log and bag and it is all good now for another couple of years we hope. TFTC

Very interesting cache description about the Redlands and there was no problem with height today, thanks happyharries and TFTC

Out with Geopartner on our 6th Geocaching Birthday.
Pulled up and soon located the cache.
Signed the log and added a fresh baggie for the log.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks happyharries All good with this cache

Needs maintenance

TFCT

Quick find, TFTC happyharries :^)

Quick park and grab on a sunday, as others before me have said, standing on your car wheel probably won't help much

My 2500th finds!! Whoooo yay! Yay!

Found it cool nice night TFTC

I stood on the tyre and found it harder to reach. Got off the tyre and found it easy to reach.
Thanks

A caching day starting mid-morning around the Redland Bay area with Joojoo57 and nikid1 to start with. Later we were joined by Nadine1989 and Mrs RoddyC and Patrol 14 after nikid1 had to leave us for kiddy duties. All up we managed to find thirteen caches before the predicted storm set in and sent us packing.

Part of the cache description says "Height maybe an issue for some. I stood on my car wheel when placing the cache."

Well I am happy to inform everyone that height was not an issue here. While I was looking upwards, Nkid1 was looking elsewhere and had the cache in hand before too long.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.25am on 11th August 2016. TFTC

Venturing to an area I have never been to before. Lots of lovely views as well as loads of caches to search for. Quick find for us today. Thanks happyharries.

Headed out for a morning of caching with RoddyC and JooJoo57.
This was number 2 on RoddyC's list.
I hadn't read the description so I went for a logical place to look, RoddyC was looking else where. Seems not reading the description helped a lot here as I quickly had the cache in hand.
Log is damp but managed to get our names on here.

Cache lid gone, log very wet.
Would benefit from some CO TLC!

**Smilie #4217**

Rainy, heavy cloud cover, what to do today?
Grab a few stray caches of course!
This was our first today & a quick find it was.
Unfortunately the cache lid is missing & the log likes attracting water.
Very wet!

Made our mark & replaced as found.
Sorry, had no supplies on hand to fix up the cache.

**TFTC happyharries **

On the listing it says that height may be an issue for some but the rusty cache without a lid was located at around the height of a grasshopper.

Sorely in need of TLC.

TFTC HH!

Last time I came here I couldn't reach it, no probs today. Container in sad & sorry state, no lid. Tftc

Tftc

TFTC easy quick find for us

Found it. Like previously noted finds, height really isn't an issue. I moved the magnet from inside the container to outside and put it back where I found it. TFTC

Nice easy find.
TFTC
John and Terry

Not sure if this cache was hidden were it should be as height was not a problem. Anyway, we placed it back where we found it. Tftc

Having not read the recents, this morning found us straining our neck and wondering how the heck we were ever going to get to the cache when I looked around and spotted a likely bump. Sure enough the cache was quickly to hand. We changed the log bag to a new small one, signed the damp paper and tucked it back between traffic.

Today we went to the cost and on our trip we viseted some cache's

No wheel needed for find. A good one for the kids!!

Quick find as cars sped by. Needs container replacing, the lid is not attached. TFTC

Cache is in bad shape but log is dry. Easy find, no wheel needed. Tftc

Nice quick find for geo twin. Second one this kind for us today. TFTC

Out and about with Brother Colin and doscrapbooking for yet another crazy few hours today

I didn't even get out of the car for this one doscrapbooking did the honours. TFTC, happyharries.

Hello from Sweden
Nice and easy one
TFTC

Quicke easy one on our way home from Coochie island.

Done this one while on the way back from Victoria point. Hard to find parking but managed to get on the side if the road and put the hazards on while geo hubby and geo mum stayed in the car and stayed watch while YiPpA and I made a mad dash across the bizzy road and a leap of faith over the overgrown shrubs hopping not to get eatin by a snake or slip and make a fool out of ourselves. With a quick snatch and grab we signed the log book and returned to the getaway car. Thanks for this.

Decided to go on a bit of a drive. Found this one quickly. TFTC

More space to park if travelling into Redland area but I missed stopping due to traffic on my tail. Next time I was travelling West and parked near the armco railing and walked back. Beware of fast traffic here. Nice easy find.

Easy find I replaced the zip bag with a smaller one, lid is missing bit cache dry signed and placed back tftc

I headed out this way nice and early this morning hoping to find me some geocaches.
16 or 17 years ago we use to drive down this road 2 or 3 times a month. We were heading for Redland Bay to catch a barge over to Russell Island where we had a holiday house. Far out 17 years ago, it just seems like yesterday, where the heck has the time gone. It's taken me about 45 mins to get here from the coast and thats with a few other finds on the way but as a kid it felt like 4 and a half hours. It's funny how time seems different when you're young.
Anyway third stop and third find, signed my name then continued.
Thanks happyharries, oh yeah the lid is missing.

Was able to get out for a half day and grab a few finds, almost 20 in the end, including a bit of bushwalking. Good day, wish I had been able to get out for longer.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Nice quick drive by find. TFTC.

Driving past with goldielover today we made a quick stop to nab this cache.
TFTC

Found with stairman1. Couldn't drive past and let this one be lonely. I quickly located the container. Signed our names then kept driving. TFTC

Managed to find this cache with a break in the traffic. Thanks for the cache happyharries!

Found this quickly once at GZ. TFTC

Although I knew the cache couldn't be anywhere else, it took a couple of minutes before I saw the exact location was just the opposite to that suggested by the CO - has it been moved [?]
Happy to report the ants have still made it their home but the log is nice and dry. Replaced in the same location.

TFTC.

Out on a drive to the Redlands area, and to show b-in-law and his wife what geocaching was all about, so stopped at this one. MrGT54 quickly found the cache, and sis-in/law waited anxiously to see what was inside the cache. Signed the log, and danced around, trying to lid ourselves of the little black ants, before driving off to the next cache. TFTC.

Although I had passed this on a few times before and pretty much knew exactly where to look, I had not been able to time the stop with the traffic and the right parking spot until today.

Having no one behind I was able to slow up and watch the shoulder for the right spot to stop. I thought I was going to have a little walk on my hands as I was on the other side of the road and the safety barrier was approaching fast. Luckily there was just enough room before the barrier and I made the stop and dashed across the road. Was easy to get over without much traffic.

There the little guy was sitting just where I expected, there were plenty of ants around though and I spent more time brushing them away then actually retrieving and signing the log.

TFTC

took cache to the car to sign opened it and found a black ants nest in it spent ten minutes getting them off me and out of the car. tftc

Heading towards the CITO event today and stopped to grab this one.
Another one found.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it No. 8382 ... replaced the log book ... TNLN ... TFTC happyharries

Nice easy find today,the log was very wet today TFTC happyharries.

We were up this way with the kids at wake boarding and they were having fun so Geo Mum & I (Geo Dad) thought we might slip away for a bit and play our favourite game so we could have fun too.

This one has us going for a few minutes until we changed tack and spotted our prize.

I am not sure how much longer the cache container will last and I can't remember if the log was wet or not sorry.

Thanks happyharries TFTC SL

1145hrs. Just passing and found somewhere to stop. Made a quick grab and on our way again. TFTCSL

Nice quick drive-by.

Thanks happyharries.

TFTC must be my lucky day. The ants were off ruining someone's picnic.

Found it easily enough,but unable to sign log,cache absolutely taken over by ants.

I cannot confirm the state of the log. It looked dry enough, but was protected by a colony of ants. I tapped them all out and promptly ran away. This one might need maintenance.

TFTC happyharries

Located cache today
Log saturated so unable to sign
Water inside of mint tin so emptied it out
Not sure how this could be as was very tight to open may be rusty?
This cache definately needs some TLC

Unable to sign log absolutely saturated -pencil would not mark sheet
Sorry unable to replace log as no paper with us
Did empty water out of container ,have no idea how water could get into this cache as was extremely hard to open
Cute little rabbit left by previous cacher still in the cache
took trackable Aussie-bound for Jody1V for a visit
tftc

Quick drive by this one. Managed to sign the log despite it being totally saturated and needs a replace log.

Got rid of the ants and signed the log wich is in good nick ,left micro rabbit TN TFTC CHEERS

I think by coincidence it may also be #5 in the series for me TFTC

Found while out on our mission to get to 100 today. The ants were trying to take this over but otherwise all safe and sound tftc

Found at 1224 with Marg. A quick find if a little exposed. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.

Having found others in the series and with little traffic around this was quickly located.

Thanks happyharries.

After sorting some unholy parking out - we found the cache fairly quickly after a small hunt. I shouted in a new baggy - as the old one was too big and would not fit in the cache properly anymore. TFTC happyharries

Really quick Drive by TFTC happyharries

Thanks for the cache JLrox had a look but could not find it so then MGROCKS had one look and then found it....

Thanks for the cache took a minute but that was because we had muggles driving past....

nice little hidy spot tftc!

Passing by and realised that I had not logged this one.

It was a simple find. The inside was a bit damp but the ziplock is keeping the log dry.

Another HH cache off the list.

Found after looking in the wrong "direction" I liked the drive to this one as I'm sweeping this area today on a good cachey Sunday !!! TFTCSL

I was in the area trying to solve the nearby multi. No luck on the multi but decided to grab this one before heading back down the highway.

The muggles were too busy tail-gating each other and beeping at each other to notice me signing the log and return the cache.

Thanks for the cache happyharries. TNLNSL

Awesome hiding spot. Just a quick stop on way past. TFTC!

quick drive by cache in cood order

This was cache # 20 of 41 on another hard day at the office. I was sure I had been here before, but I guess it was another Redlands sign. My thanks to happyharries for the cache.

Started my day with a Redland Cache and finished it the same way... This time, I was in the company of Ghostgums who was quick off the mark and had the cache in hand swiftly...

Cheers Happyharries.

This was a quick cache find today between traffic breaks. Didn't need my height to locate this one.

TFTC

Height was an issue. Didn't know if I could bend enough. Managed to locate and retrieve the cache and the log. Signed and replaced. Thanks for the cache.
TNLNSL.

Easy found but too manys ANTS everywhere yak!!!!!!!!........... thank

Found it on way to Redland Bay

Found safe and sound.

TFTC
