Sorry for the copy and paste, just keeping track of all the caches I found with Icecream boy.

Sadly this one has been muggled. Given that it was hidden well and a syringe was found in the area, I will archive.
Unfortunately this one appears to have been muggled.... I found the container, log book and cache note on the ground spread out.. no lid... all soaked.... there was also a needle beside it :/
Have emailed CO as well regarding this

Out and about on the bicycle today
As a keen cyclist, I HAD to solve this puzzle.
Well today it the guy on the green bike who got the cache.

This cache was one of the ones I grabbed while in Queensland for 40 hours. I arrived in at Queensland Airport and then grabbed a hire car for the next 40 days. I had time to do some caching in-between attending a sad family matter in Noosa. While in Queensland I had a chance to cache just the south side of Brisbane, Around Noosa and along the Sunshine Coast. I was pressed for time and chose to forgo sleep one night to maximize my time while in Queensland. The Majority of my caching was done at night and I could not believe the amount of toads in the state now. All in all I had a great time caching up here before heading back down south. TFTC
Just a note to mention that I recently returned the original, dried out logbook back into the cache along with the new one, so finders can take their pick!
Loved doing the puzzle and went on a slight detour on my way home from work. Near GZ found a rogue pen on the ground, which helped me know I was in the right place. After a bit of searching, found the cache, logged my visit (and replaced the escaped pen in the cache) and was on my way. TFTC Australnaughts!
Had an awesome day day out on a small blitz of the area with a couple of other cachers. This was the first of the day. We were relatively quick to find GZ after getting off the train, but had to keep out of the eyes of the cricketing muggles on the adjacent oval. I was the first to spot the container, and all signed we made our way down to the river for the next few.
TFTC Australnaughts, great area =)

Had some time to kill this arvo so decided to come over this way to grab a few puzzles I solved earlier.
Arrived at gz to find it deserted, found the cache after a quick search.
Tftc it's in good condition.

Great puzzle and easy enough find. I'm surprised this survived the floods intact given the hide location.
Found rapidly at the GZ, thanks in part to my new friend, Mr Garmin.
Cache is still reasonably dry inside but I've taken the liberty of replacing the log and introducing a brand new ziplock bag. The super-saturated logbook looks too historically interesting to throw away, so I've borrowed it to dry out thoroughly and return shortly.
Thanks for another goodie, Australnaughts.

Found this one today. Unfortunately it was totally soaked! couldn't sign log book, but i did take a photo of the log. forgot to pack a spare log book in my caching bag also so i couldn't replace it either. TFTC and the puzzle though.
Found today, needs some TLC. Couldn't replace log book unfortunately as didn't have a spare with me.
The cache was one of 107 finds during a three day visit to Brisbane from Melbourne where it was work during the day and caching during the night. One of twenty puzzle finds for the trip as well.
After some trial and error the puzzle was finally solved. I like these logic puzzles, they always prove to be a challenge. Once at GZ the cache was found on the ground and the log was really wet and slimy. Still managed to scribe my name in and then put back at a tree where I thought it may go.
DrChook has since raised a maintenance check on the cache as well.
Thanks for the hide.
Last find for the night at 5:08 am, time to get back to the hotel and get some sleep.

Found it , we solved this a while ago but never followed it up so today was the day !!
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
Kab solved the riddle a couple of days ago, and today we were in the area.
The cache was quickly located, however the logbook is completely drenched and unsignable. We tried to sign the logbook but failed
TFTC however the cache does need some TLC.

I called by this one today and although I found it half buried in mud, it seemed to be dry inside despite being completely submerged in the flood. Ready to find.
"Snorkel Race" - This one went under in the flood. It will be under lots of mud - May have to archive.
Puzzle was solved during lunch. Took a look this morning and found it easily. Log book was slightly damp. Took nothing and left little rubber.
Another excellent puzzle - always enjoyed your puzzle. Lovely big park area. SL. Thanks Australnaughts
Found during a raid on Brisbane with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Steeba.
A tricky little puzzle that proved a lot of fun and a fun grab. TFTC.

#4396 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba, Big Matt and Farmer Frentzen. Our puzzle guru eventually had this one solved. At GZ the cache was soon in hand.
Thanks

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4192nd overall find. This cache was our 26th out of 101 for the day.
Found at about 09:11 AM. First, second, I was tied in knots with this one, luckily our brains trust gave us a nudge and we were off to the GZ. Once there we made a quick find. Quite a fitting spot.
Thanks to Australnaughts for the cache.

These sure are tricky puzzles at times. Glad we didn't see a magpie today like the last attempt. TFTC!

Solved puzzle, went to collect cache and got swooped by a magpie. Will return another day to collect cache. Just a warning to other geocachers, take care!
Sorted out the clues last night and on a lovely winter saturday arvo we thought we would attempt this cache. Alas there was a game on and some very persistant muggle kids riding bikes around and around and around. Pretended to watch them for a while , while sending the geo-kid to hunt but MORE turned up. Sigh we will be back for this one another day. - Wells Inc
A nice easy puzzle and a pretty easy find. We had some GPS bounce that sent us off to the wrong spot at first, but with the GPS under control the right spot was clear and Alkzura had his hand on it before I could shuffle a leaf. TNLNSL TFTC
Out with NyletaM, collecting all the puzzle caches we had previously solved but not found.
This one was our fourth for the day.
After the GPS bouncing around for a while, we located the correct place and found it very quickly

Oops, we're not going to find GZ with the original coordinates in the GPS now are we and with the navigator sending us back over the bridge meant we missed the merriment at GZ. Cache located in a sneaky little spot and then we were off to catch up with the others in the SEQ Puzzle Group [^] TFTC Australnaughts
Found with the SEQ Puzzle Solvers. Had the teen daughter productively use some of her holiday time to help with this....until she realised she was aiding and abetting nerdiness and she handed it back. . Anyway....solution came out finally!
Interesting little spot....and again, the likely looking teen muggles were no match for a determined posse of cachers. Quick grab by Lokipagan and the mirth and merriment provided by Baroki Scout, as usual!!!
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Australnaughts. Cheers, svn07

This is another of the puzzles that I threw at geohubby in a last minute panic to solve some puzzles prior to the puzzle cachers day. We seemed to miss the merriment and mirth that happened at the cache. Oh well. TFTC.
So... i'm at work one day and suprisingly find myself on the phone to Gunnie and we started talking about puzzles.. and one thing lead to another and what do you know?l.. we were racing on a bike soon thereafter.
2 hours or so on the phone.. and numerous methods being employed.. and finally evince gives us the green light... phew...
I lost track of caches completed by this stage and upon arriving.. pointed out the rather obvious similarity between cache placing and cache name... only to have Bedmaker 'der' at me... lol.. very funny moment...
Great cahe.. great puzzle.... great company.. found with the SEQ Puzzle mob..
Ta Much!!

Love logic puzzles so I really enjoyed working this one out . Also managed to be the finder of this one with the puzzle group today despite GPSr disagreeing. Good thing we had a few extra today to point us in the right direction! TFTC and great puzzle Australnaughts [^]
Have always enjoyed these logic problems, and had the techniques to solve this one quickly, and get a suitable set of numbers.
The GZ was a great spot for a cache, and was easily found in the hands of another cacher.
Found with puzzle group today.

I've been doing a fair bit of bike riding over my holidays, so it was nice to do a bicyle themed cache. Found today with the SE QLD Puzzle group

I was on the phone to Baroki Scout and the conversation turned to a certain "Bicycle Race"... Before we knew it, all other conversation was gone and the race was on to solve this puzzle... [^] At either end of the phone, different techniques were being deployed and at first there was a struggle to come up with the correct solution. Not for long though as evince confirmed that the the result was correct shortly after out initial confusion...
Out with the group today, we had to wait for a few muggle teens to disperse before conducint the search. When the coast was clear, the group members were no match for Loki who swooped on the container alomst straight away...
Cheers Australnaughts.

Fun puzzle. Quick find once we had GZ co-ordinates. Luckily no sport nearby today. TFTC.
A fun puzzle to complete and one that I have had some practice at completing. GZ seemed to be an obvious location and the cache was fortunately found quite quickly. No bike riders nearby today but I'm sure the kids would love this area.

I want to ride it where I like
Yes....had a great time and found the cache as well
Cache dry and in good condition

Solved another A0 puzzle. I liked this one! Geobaby and I headed out this morning to sign the log. Cache is dry and in good condition. TNLNSL, TFTC!
Well it was the ruzzelz bike stakes today to clear a few puzzles from my way. No toehr bike at this stop in the early hours but there was a Queen St crowd on most the tracks on the way And all I wanted was a nice quite ride away from the crowds [?]. The tree cover provided a nice place to replenish fluids while I located the cache.
Thans for the mind and body exercise
PS Today's rider had the red shirt, grey bike and seems to be finder number 30. [^]

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 10:50am. This puzzle took quite a while to solve and lots of pieces of paper were used. TFTC
Love these puzzles. I remember Mum buying us books with these puzzles in them when we were kids. Turned up today to find a footy game in progress. Luckily everyone was interested in the players and didn't notice us lurking in the background. Cache was found quickly in a great little hiding spot. TFTC and the puzzle.
Everyone had their eyes on the football match leaving us free to find the cache. Nicely hidden. TFTC
Oh Beauty! I couldnt beleive it that I got it right gzafter worked out these puzzle and kept it in my file for a while since ftf..... So pleased with myself. found it at 6pm... muggles didnt see me.
Great puzzle and thanks for the cache.
Great puzzle and thanks for the cache.
A puzzle that certainly took a bit of effort to solve. It was like I was reading the Tour de France. The afternoon was a little overcast when I arrived which I think is good as there's not many muggles around then. Arrived at GZ and had the place to myself, found the cache shortly after. TFTC and the puzzle.
A nice little puzzle to solve on a Saturday afternoon. Took the geokids out for scooter past here and nabbed another one. TNLNSL TFTC
I finally got around to doing this puzzle, then went out to find the cache today. Near GZ I discovered a recently deceased ringtail possum so I gave it a decent burial service at the spot and stuck in a remembrance stick at the head of the grave. I couldn't dig very deep so the smell may lead you to GZ over the next month. TFTC Australnaughts
Out and about with Mrs HappyHarries today to nab a few caches while the geokids were at school.
Luckily for me, Mrs HH had solved this puzzle for me and had the co-ords in hand. A quick search and the cache was soon located.
Great hide.
Thanks for the hunt Australnaughts

Mrs k-six and myself headed out today in a westerly direction hoping to clean up a few caches.Mr Happyharry had solved this puzzle a few months ago today was the day to nab it. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.
Second time is a charm. We visited yesterday briefly but I began to doubt myself and puzzle solution, back again today with a little more patience, we managed to find it. Our very first geocache! D&C.
Not sure what this means, but Mrs Steve was struggling to work out the puzzle when she was sober, then Steve solved it in a flash when he was full of Christmas cheer... hmmm.... Steve's advice - if you're struggling with the puzzle, try bourbon! It seems to work...
Anyway, today we set off in the afternoon heat to retrieve the cache. Once at GZ, the cache eluded us for quite some time. Steve, remembering the state he was in when he solved the puzzle, decided to check if he'd entered the CORRECT co-ordinates into the GPS. While he was fumbling with the technology, Mrs Steve turned up the cache!
No swaps today, thanks for the cache!

My brain must be slowing down. It took a while to sort out who was who.
Armed with the coordinates I approached GZ to find a couple of young muggles doing work on an RC Car only metres from where the arrow was pointing.
I moved away to a watching position and they decided to pack up after about 5 minutes. (must be my imposing presence). It only took a minute to find the cache.

3rd of a rare 'three out of three' caches before lunch today. I wish I had a camera, as the cache was guarded by a very impressive grub, which I first thought was part of the camo.
another fun puzzle, cheers.

Made it difficult for ourselves trying to find a black cylinder in the dark, but we did it eventually
I too solved this puzzle a while back and haven't had the chance to make the find. After being really lost in translation I thought I'd drop by this one and try my luck. It was well after dark so I had the area to myself. As for the previous no find, I was basing my search on a google image as the GPSr is out of action. Fortunately my memory was better this time and it wasn't long before I came up with the goods. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache - no swaps made.
Unlike the previous visitor I did realise it was a puzzle cache and had the answer a few days after the cache appeared. However it took a while to get to the site. Then, yes, the council men were working right next to GZ. Have to come back another day .
Today was another day, so into the saddle and off I went. Not too difficult with no muggles around. TNLN. TFTC.
Had the good fortune to complete a victory lap for IF without falling off. And the first time I've ever tried this sport!

I was out for a bike ride today
After a cable-stayed crossing of the river, I arrived at GZ
It seemed an appropriate spot to find a cache and I had a quick poke in the scarce hidey holes hereabouts
After a few laps of the big yellow thingy, it was time to read the cache notes. Oh! It's a puzzle cache
So I rode off to find another cache (which also turned out to be a puzzle cache )
Well I rode around a bit and found a nice shady seat , so I sat down to work out the puzzle for this cache
Almost an hour later, after a couple of restarts, the solution finally fell out and I plugged in the coords
Hmmm. I was sitting only 15 metres away from the cache !!
Looking about for the first time since I arrived, I noted that the surrounding area was of all things a......... well you'll find out if you solve the puzzle
A couple of minutes later I had the cache in me paws
TFTC and fun. Before leaving, I did a victory lap to celebrate [^]

After dodging lots of lycra laddies and ladies, I found I was at a different sort of bicycle race to what I expected. Cache was found quickly, but it could have been a real chore. I think I was lucky. With a bit of rain around, no one was about so I didn't have to be stealthy. TN/LN/SL
A great puzzle that was thoroughly enjoyable. The cache was soon found on a quiet mid morning week day. TFTC
nice quite area. found the park and cache in no time after navigating the roads. took eggs, left nothing. TFTC!
Found at 9.05am. Solved this great puzzle yesterday so had to come out and finish it this morning. Nice and easy - a good way to start the day. TFTC
A very nice puzzle that was fun to solve. This was the first cache of the day for us and given our GPSr had us about 10 metres away, it took us a little while to locate it. Mrs HMF finally found it in a place Mr HMF had already looked! Thanks for the cache. Cheers, HawMorFords.
Found at about 1600. I'd worked this one out a couple of days ago, but had to wait until I was over this side of town to search for it.
What a great little track for the local kids! I didn't have my bike with me (although the old bike was in the trailer about 200m away) so I didn't have a go myself.

What not a soul at GZ. Maybe because it was GF day in Melbourne and the Cats were up by 4 points near half time. Enjoyed the puzzle. TFTC
Found the cache in good condition after a short search. I liked the puzzle, and the nice area of green near GZ. Don't get to this particular corner of Brisbane often enough so I was happy to make a slight detour today. SL. No swaps. Thanks Australnaughts.
Both gefscofix and I have done a few of these puzzles in the past, so we didn't find this too hard - it's nice to do a puzzle cache that doesn't leave you miserable that you are so dumb We solved the puzzle and then headed out for the cache, which was conveniently close to a large shopping centre we needed to visit this afternoon anyway - good timing! Luckily no cyclic muggles around and the cache was soon in hand. TNLN, TFTC - joint FTF!
I got the notification at work and solved it during my afternoon tea break, I SMSed posthaste to see if she wanted to accompany me to a FTF only to be told that she already got it .
After work it was an easy find, and I also got another chess challenge clue .
