Moggill Time Bellbowrie, Queensland, Australia
By Ozibags on 13-Apr-08. Waypoint GC1B5YP

Well it's had a good run but I'll now remove it so someone else can place a cache here if they wish.

It appears this cache has been muggled. I'll take it off-line until it can be replaced.

Net88 and I were clearing out the area and surprised to see another Ozibags effort still kicking around. After we sorted out the good parking spot we found the path along the creek and set off, chatting as you tend to do. A quiet little spot to visit this afternoon. It was a hot day out and after a long day chasing hidden boxes, even the slight hill was a deterrent.

At GZ the GPSr narrowed us in and with the previous logs read, the hunt was on. In the vines didn't seem right and as such I soon spotted something. It was a painted SPC lid, and upon further investigation, it matched the one in one of the photos exactly. But no logbook so I looked further. Even in among the vines, the grass, out in the open, up the tree we found nothing else cache-y. The local lads look to have had a fire nearby though and as such suspect that lid is all that remains. We called it quits, left the lid at the base of the tree and headed back - via a red belly black on the track.

Amongst the bushes but we sent the kids in anyway

Looks like its all downhill from here. Guarded by thorny vines and I expect a snake or two.

Found it down the hill behind the thorny vines (if you go Dads way that is)

Kids are getting good at this.

Our search at GZ turned up nothing but then Miss 5 spotted the cache about 15ms down the hill in the scrub. I sent her down to retrieve it. Poor little thing probably tackled a terrain 5 getting there and needed assistance to climb back up with the cache shoved inside her school uniform. We had a lovely afternoon exploring the area and playing on the nearby playgrounds. Thanks for bringing us here!

We stopped by on our way to a party and found the cache but couldn't retrieve it as I wasn't dressed for climbing through prickles. Suspect cache might have rolled away from where it ought to be, as other logs found the cache a little more reachable.

We were having a quick tour of the area and what better way than to find the local caches. This was the first on the list, took a look at the time capsule and this one was a quick find. I was a tad nervous about the wasp nest! Tftc

Out for a morning walk to try for a couple of caches and this one was on my list. A great day for a walk. There was a muggle mowing the playing fields but he didn't pay much attention to me as he went about his business. Climbed up and discovered the time capsule then set about looking at trees. Didn't take long and cache was in hand. Luckily no wasps visible in the nest, so a quick sign of the log then continued on my walk. Thanks for another great cache Ozibags.

I lived in this area a few years ago, and visited this park several times on Austraia Day for a few quiet ales with friends, and a spot of cricket against our imported friends. I had never seen the nearby time capsule, and certainly never seen the hide! I was a little worried about the wasps nest I uncovered, but I steered as clear as I could. In the night darkness every sound was a swarm coming at me! Cache a little damp, but certainly serviceable.

Not this time Moggill - but I will be back so maybe next time. Pretty sure I got the exact location but no amount of fossicking around revealed it to me . Interesting spot though , I didn't realise that Moggill has a time capsule . Isn't it amazing what you learn as you go about searching for that something that must be found.

Eureka! Never Give Up - so I returned . Due to cloud cover and vegetation I had been barking up the wrong tree ! It's all good bro' and I won't die wondering. Thanks Ozibags good hide , had me thinking.

Nice easy find on my way to work, oops I did a bit of trespassing to get to this one, but walked back the long to get back to the car.

Quick find on a short jog around the fields. Cache a bit damp (I poured as much water as I could out) but log fine for the moment.

Log book dried out. Container dried out. All good to go. Cheers

walked in circles for a bit, but soon had cache in hand. It could do with some TLC as its wet inside. TFTC.

Wandered over form the nearby park on a lovely freshly mown trail. As I approached GZ I could see a muggle very close. Had a quick chat. He was a Kiwi backpacker, so I decided to tell him about caching. Didn't look quite so odd when I disappeared into the scrub near him

Thank you

TYFC

Took us a but and needed the hint but we got there.

TFTC. Found with Auzzie Boy

Found it

With Auzzie. Dad 1125

TFTC

Waiting for dinner up the road and just enough time to grab a cache before it gets dark. And its only 6.30 at night!

Found with shonkylogic tftc - took bug

Parked at the park. Checked the GPS, wasn't sure which side of the creek to go along. Scoped it out and decided on the best way. Got the cache, kids in the field, but kept low, signed the log and dropped a TB. TFTH

Found easy even though 33 degree heat. Took TB45B2C.

Few muggles around but no one paid much attention to us!!! Left a troll and a TB;);)

Wet old day but we perservered and there it was. Thanks Ozibags

Found with GeoTigress and GeoDachshund

Great hiding spot. Nice walk along the creek. There is a time capsule here too!

Great location, found creepy crawly and lots of trash. We decided we would bring empty bags from now on to 'trash out'. Geodachshund was the finder again. He is too good. Silverfox2000 and I are really enjoying ourselves!

After parking the Geo mobile and unloading the Geo kids mum took them to the playground to work off some energy. Geo dad headed off to GZ past the skaters, and soccer muggles nearby. After a short walk the cache was in hand the log signed.

TFTC

Nice location. TFTC

DaddyMeerkat left the rest of the Meerkats at the park and ventured off to the cache alone. I took the path around the creek, past the submerged shopping trolleys and along the freshly mown path. Lots of creaky trees here. I probably should have waited for the kids: if only to show them the creaky trees. But they were happy at the park....

Got to GZ in no time. Quickly found the cache thanks to the clue. I was interested in reading who was here before me. I will have to mention that when I next see the Bell-Fullers.

TFTC, Ozibags!!

It's not a bush, not a shrub, it's a...... treeee!
After just a little confusion, we trampled through some grass and grabbed the cache. The kids enjoyed the swaps. It's a good size container, with a bit of space for more goodies for kids here. It was c, d and a from our team together with the bell-fullers.

tftc!!!

Watch for snakes
We added to the stash of toys and also did a trade.
Collected some rubbish from the local area too.

We enjoyed the walk today, found the cache, signed log. TFTC Ozibags.

I do love a good tree cache! Very overgrown here but ploughed in and soon had the cache in hand. No swaps, log signed, then we headed off to complete our raid of the area TFTC Ozibags

We enjoyed a nice walk to this one. There were a few people around but none taking any notice of us. TNLN TFTC

Nice hide. TFTC

On a walking tour of Bellbowrie
A quick find. The cache is in good condition

It was fun taking Amelia for a walk on the bike she got for her birthday.
the cache was an easy find after we spread out search
Left TB

TFTC ...[^]... Ozibags

yes we had a great day watching Amelia bike ride with the cache TFTC!

About a 5 min search and we had the goods. Tftc

Second find, it was in a good position, had a fun Sunday afternoon with kids looking for it. First time I saw a time capsule. Thank you for the fun.

Found it while one geokid was playing soccer. Also found time capsule, only 77 years to wait on that one. tftc

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

A nice walk in today and a great time capsule nearby

Found it a while ago. Nice spot. Had forgotten about the time capsule hidden there. TFTC

A nice walk here this morning with goldielover. A quick find. Cache is in great condition.

Another great area on a cool and crisp August morning. We pulled up at the grounds and geodog immediately gave chase to some ducks who were minding their own business Fortunately for the ducks they were too quick. There were some muggles setting up for soccer but they ignored us and a hunt found the cache in good condition. We signed the log and headed off back home. No more ducks for geodog to chase . Thanks for bringing us out here Ozibags.

Enjoyable stroll from the Lions carpark, still in post-Flood mode by the looks of it. Numerous sporty muggles around, but I would say we slipped in and out OK. TFTC!

Great spot!

Found this whilst getting physio on a injury

Distance from original: 98.8 feet or 30.1 meters.

Coordinates changes - the previous spot had been compromised by not-nice muggles.

Ready to go - again!

After chatting with the owner about this one through the week we came out to replace it seeing as we were in the area again (a bit closer than you Ozibags!). Passed a horse and rider who were headed in the other direction and arrived at GZ to have another look. Well a sistema container and ziplock baggy lying on the ground usually set off warning bells so we placed the replacement cache a little way away from original GZ but closer to the time capsule. A shame that the area seems to be visited by undesirables . Thanks Ozibags.

Lokipagan and I were on a maintennance mission for the owner of this one. This time we actually did find what we suspected is the container - opened on the ground for all to see on the ground (It was a lock and lock style container). We did not find any log or anything else though. Loki found a new hide for the beast and will inform the cache owner of the details. Thanks for bringing me to the area, Ozibags - I got to see it twice!.. and TFTC

Enabled one day, missing the next! I'll disable again for the time being.

mate hunted for this one but no luck, i think it may have been taken

No joy for Lokipagan and I today We searched the suspect GZ but came up empty handed. Sadly, it seems there was a recent "party" near GZ that involved some un-becoming "items". We thought if it had been found by muggles, they would have left it lying around like the rest of their garbage - but nothing to be seen. It is possible we were very cache blind. TFTH.

Hi ozibags, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there was an awful lot of undesirable rubbish at GZ when we arrived that we imagine was recently placed since you replaced the cache... the day before! We had a good look around but I suspect this one may be gone again . Although we don't understand why they would have taken the cache but not their rubbish!

Yep the floods took it. Now floating somewhere in the Pacific probably. Replaced and ready to go.

Probably a victim of the Brisbane floods. Will disable until I can check it out.

Wow my first find in my own suburb. I was told about this exciting hobby by a friend half a year back but never indulged until now ... my cousin and I are now going to spend all of Saturday arvo trying to find others hahahahah. I think i might base my entire travelling overseas on it.

Took a bottle openner key ring which I have been meaning to get for ages and left some mints. Hope the next person who comes along comes sooner rather then later. Considering going back and leaving something solid today. I just didnt have anything else on me at the time ... but that bottle keyring was destined for me as the night proved later on

THANKS !

found with anddad, quickly found when you start on the right side of the creek

Found at 1135Hrs with bluegonz. Quick find. Has been found by someone since the last logged find - muggles perhaps?
Thanks Ozibags

TFTC followed the freshly mown path (thank goodness!) Took a gorgeous elephant keychain and left smiley magnet. Shame we didn't bring geomutt, he would have had a ball in the off leash area!

Approached this one from nearby park but through a mown track with high grass and next to a creek. I was sure I would be jumped by joe blake. Easy enough to find today ... it wasn't raining. TFTC

Last find of the day for us. A nice easy find in a quiet location.

TFTC

Papadavid slightly understates the ease of this one. It took three attempts to find a path to GZ, with our first two approaches running us into the creek. When we finally got to the right place, however, the cache was quickly in hand.

Last find on an afternoon caching in the area. Lots of muggles but nobody close to GZ. We found it quite quickly. Cache in safe and dry condition. TFTC.

Easy find. Found during half time for moggill soccer game, top team.

Nice easy walk from home to a spot I had not visited. Bonus to see the time capsule.
Nice hide & location. TNLN TFTC
Romander

Found it No. 2826 ... easy find ... TNLN

Found with mrs w/rat after a spot of shopping nearby. Needed a but of stealth as the park was full of keen soccer hopefulls - looks like the World Cup has created plenty of followers and up and coming stars.
TNLN TFTC Cheers

Nice quick find. Kids loved the nearby time capsule.

Beautiful day to be caching and a great place for a cache. TFTC TNLN SL

Beautiful park and well placed cache. Took penquin and left frog. TFTC. Wear shoes as bindis are prolific and painful. Took sister from England with us and she enjoyed the challenge too.

Nice hide Ozibags in a very nice location.

Interesting time capsule! Would love to see the looks on the peoples faces when they open the time capsule discover all of the dodgy 80's fashion and music hidden in the time capsule! (perhaps).

TFTC! TNLNSL

Third for the day. Quite nice wander kids had fun.

What a lovely series of parks and open space along the river bank. A stark contrast to the houses on the other side.
Yes, an easy find. Took a car, left a penguin. TFTC..
I think you mean the time capsule is at 230 degrees, not 23 degrees.

Thanks George, 230 deg it is !

TFTC - TNLN. An easy find when we got to the right side....

First cache of the day on our Christmas Day adventure [^]. Lovely little park and beautiful view of the river. We stopped and watched the local kids learn how to ride their shiny new bikes and scooters while eating our christmas lunch. TNLNSL, TFTC.

We took a Firesafe GC on our travels with us through the Bellbowrie area for some Christmas Adventure.

A nice walk , no muggles, a great idea for a cache

Having lived close by this was my first visit to the capsule.
An easy find in a quiet area.

First find for my little brother he was pretty interested as to what it is we do and why we do it. Might have one more for our numbers there!
Took pin left $2 TFTC!

Found with Wahlenbergia and Gloriosa after a nice walk along the creek. TFTC TNLN

Our fourth cache today. Thanks Ozibags. TNLN

Good location for this cache and a good day to be out doing this activity. TFTC

Easy find with not a muggle in sight. TN/LN/SL. Had a look at the time capsule. 2088 hey? Guess most of us geocachers will be dust by then.

Found at 0856. Another quick find away from muggles. Cache OK and dy. TFTC.

Walked the wrong side of the creek ,should of read the instructions first ,but we found it after reread.Wonderful hidding spot for the cache.

Removed it for a trip to SA.
