String of DNFs, and I just went and could not find anywhere near the place mentioned in hunt without actually going into the structure, pls come check.
Took my Nan back home after Christmas today and after so much traffic decided to clear my head and grab a cache. Very interesting local history at this cache. TFTC
What a shame for poor Bill who put so much into a venture that didnt pay off for him. Made the way down through the track to GZ where the cache was quickly found. TFTC
Found at 12:20 PM GAFF3.Such a pity that after all of that effort that the aquarium only lasted a short time. Looking at the display "cases" though, it would have been tiny viewing! Wonder how he got fresh sea water to the tanks?We made a bit of a job getting this cache as we discounted the easy obvious spot as the description said that it would not be there and our GPSr said to go a bit further on [B)] Thanks to Just a Trifle
I mean, the kids who hang here are just going to find it when they're drinking out here, yes? TFTC.
We had originally planned to go paddle caching on Bribie today but it was blowing a gale when we arrived so went land caching instead. Such an interesting piece of history. Must have been so disappointing for poor Bill. Once we realised we could access the structure without climbing the fence, this was a quick and easy find. Thanks Just a Trifle
Sneaky find, needed hint, more like a fallen tree Fascinating spot, very excited to locate this one
Great find,yet navigating a little off.
disregard the last comment about the snakes,crazy to even think that their would be snakes when it’s winter,we wore thongs as it’s a clear path.Very absurd comment from ZBower.
Hint:is in the name

Didn't find it but was amazing bit of history there not to mention that we where there for about 50min(warning bring enclosed shoes because there where slot of snakes) trying again later
Found this aquarium again. Love visiting bribie, found the cache not in the same place as our first visit. Moved back into last place we found it. Removed the rubbish and left a trackable . Was found with Sando076

I didn't even know this end of Bribie Is existed. It looked very popular on a Sunday morning. Miss12 and I were quite surprised by the ruins that popped out of nowhere.
TFTC! Out with Itste! Very interesting history in this area! Thanks for bringing us out here
Thanks for bringing me to this unique tourist attraction that never took off. All is good with this nearly 14 year hide. Thanks for bringing me here.
Hi I just came back here and just letting you know geo cach is no longer where it was.
#2 for today while at Bribie. Never knew this bit of history. Quick easy find TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
Just a Trifle I found your cache Bill's Aquarium on 18/10/2022, 12:30 pm. This is my find 4386 and find # 3 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
TFTC Glad to visit this unusual site, sad that the venture didn’t last. Wouldn’t have known about this except for geocaching.
We looked for ages, all around the area but couldn't find it, maybe it was stolen or just really hard to find? Good luck, still nice to get out and about
Third time trying to find this one and we couldn't find it. I'm so sad! It has been moved since we tried the first time, but I think it might have been stolen.
I came back for another look and got some help from the previous finder but still couldn't find it
