Great Circle Line #6 – Meadowlands Belmont, Queensland, Australia

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

This one hasn't been found in a long time and confirmed gone by a previous finder. No action after a call for maintenance, perhaps if not interested in maintaining, the CO should archive this one.

Out with Net88 today and this was next. We pulled up alongside GZ and I was not impressed after reading the hint. All the same had a damn good look all around but no cache. Read previous logs and gave it away. Seems every one in this series that I've tried is missing at some point.

After jumping back on the bus after finding Queensport, I read the recent logs for this one and decided to give it a miss. Hopefully we'll be able to find the finals without the clue from this one.

Searched the structure as per the clue. Nothing found. It seems like I'm never going to finish this series.

Dropped Nurseyjulie off and she was taking forever so I parked and went over. The cache is missing. I looked where I previously found it and then we searched again all over the structure.

Cache is missing, checked where it should be with an previous finder but its not

Thanks, this was a quick and easy find. The first for the day, so a good start.

We were excited about this one as it was our first cache that we tried in the night time. The geokids took the torch and we got down to business finding the cache. We saw quite a few geckos here in the darkness scuttling around. TFTC!!

Found it! Our first find so a very exciting moment.

A nice find. Looking forward to the rest of the line! Best of all, mini-bouf scored a lady-beetle. He's chuffed about that, left a copper behind!

As expected I had to wave off the bus that stopped for me. Phew. Dodged a bullet there - lol

All good inside.

needed a little walk after having chinese for dinner good little cache

Quick find after bday dinner for jasonicboom

First find with gemma after Chinese dinner

I have marked this series of caches to watch (individually and the last in the series) as I have been dying to do this series for a long time but have been too scared because of the two that are temporarily disabled. I now fear asking the owner as I’ve just had a number of these series canned on me when I’ve done that.

If you hopped of at the bus stop to find this one you do not need to walk far at all. Very nice hide. TFTC

Found with friends on a late night run. Excellent clue

Quick find on the way home to finish the day with a smile TFTC!

Battled an ant infestation to get at the log in this one. Caching 1 : Ants 0 ha ha

Went for a walk over to this spot after playing at the nearby playgrounds - busy road, and relatively easy find.

Nice and quick easy find... a bit of traffic though so I had my DMan geoboy grab behind me while I stood in front and in between traffic runs

Grabbed the clue... slowly making my way through these ones

tftc

Found with my mum & dad {Whint & Baddal} and sister Gambler2000

while dman2006 grabbed it i stood down a bit further maing sure there were no cars coming.

TFTC:)

A quick easy find - the geoteens and geohounds all stayed in the car!! Thanks for the cache.

Grabbed this one on the way from work. Parked at the nearby shopping centre, and walked down hoping that a bus didn't appear. Between bursts of traffic I was able to locate the cache and sign it and return it!

TFTC AmbulareSimia

Nice and quick! TFTC

Catching up on my logs. Thanks for the cache, found with flower1

This is another one that has been on the to do list for way too long so we stopped and grabbed it today on our way past. It was a quick find and we were on our way.

Thanks for the cache

Oh, lookit here. A Great Circle Line cache.

I was doing that series last year. Been side tracked since I rarely venture to the darkside of the river. But another clue to mark off is always welcomed.

Easy find at night!

Looking back the log I put in was off my phone and not what I intended....

First one for the month!! Did not take the bus to get to this location, however was passing by and stopped by. It must be close to tip day as the place was fill of hmm "Rubbish?"

Waited for a while for GZ to empty out, bus was a long in not time. Quick easy find! but had to return to the car need to remember to bring a pen in future!

Replaced just as easily as found.

Had to wait for a muggles to catch their bus, and then a quick grab. Got ready to sign the log, and found that must have dropped the pencil I bought, into the last cache. So, back to photos.... TN, tftc, #779.

Good hide

thanks for the cache

Easy find

Top hide this one.

Another one ticked off

Second attempt at finding this one so I was pleased to tick it off on my way home this evening. TFTC.

nice quick find. took pix of clues and replaced after waiting for a bus to pass
TFTC

Didn't do the bus trip, did it on my bike, which comes in handy coz it can be placed near the cache, whilst checking the chain a slight of hand can get the cache

Quick find today while driving past. TFTC

Nice to knock off another in the series... entire area was deserted this Saturday afternoon. TFTC!

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.
A nice quick driveby at night, found and log signed no problems. Another of the GCL series done too.
Thanks for the hide.

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 quick find and thankfully no one was around

Finally there was a break in the traffic.. and was able to find this one.

Another clue down, thanks AmbulareSimia

bethden found at 4.40pm August 9 This cache ended up being across the road where we are staying while in Brisbane for the Ekka. Look forward sometime in doing the Great circle bus route.TFTC

Thanks. Score 1 for Ian.

Took a 30 second detour on the way home for this one. Managed the slight difficulty of muggles in cars. Unfortunately didn't have a writing stick. TFTC!

Found with KidzJCT.

TFTC

Excellent find by Moneydork with a muggle nearby in the shelter! Cheers Gav [8687]

Managed to retrieve this one despite a muggle in the nearby shelter.

Easy find. Just after I retrieved the cache a muggle arrived to catch the bus. After waiting a while without any movement away I decided to take the cache with me to my next search about a kilometre away and replace it on my way back. When I did get back another muggle was there waiting for the bus but he was in just the right place that he couldn’t see me replace the cache.

Found with TuisReturn tftc

Found with my mate sniffle on the way to a basketball grand final at the nearby sports centre.

Muzbot and I can say this one is in the bin!!!!!!!!

You know you're a geocacher when...

you leave for the airport that extra bit early so you can pick up a cache on the way! You're a really serious geocacher if you almost miss your plane. Not this time but has happened before. I guess the sign of a totally committeed geocacher would be actually missing your plane because you were looking for a cache. Either that or they are just plain stupid!

In any case there was no risk today as I pulled up on Meadowlands Rd and crossed the busy peak hour traffic to the stop. GPSr said it was back in the middle of the median strip so I headed there (hadn't read the clue). Crossed back again never getting closer than 5 m to GZ. Finally looked up the clue and made the find in seconds. Lucklily the bus had just gone so no muggles to bother me apart from the curious folks across the road and the kids waving to their dad from the window as he left for work!
Must complete this series one day although it will be a big ask as I live in Sydney. I do visit regularly though.
Thanks!

A very quick drive by early in the morning. Neat hide in what must be a very busy spot at certain times of the day. TFTC

GPS had us way off. But found it in the end! Bit of a giveaway

Dropped in earlier today on the way to a Christmas bash. A quick find was the order of the morning.

Please consider the environment when caching and Tread Lightly where possible. http://www.treadlightly.org/page.php/responsible-geo/Recreation-Tips.html

•Practice the “lift, look, replace” technique if you lift a rock to look under it. Replace it exactly as you found it.
•After you’ve finished searching for a cache, the area should look as though you were never there or better than when you arrived.

Brisbane City Council have geocacing in their sights so we all need to practice responsble caching. Please assist by visiting Geocaching Australia and the forum topic BCC -draft Recreation Management Strategy (Geocaching)

Excellent hide spot. SL. Thanks AmbulareSimia.

Slightly tricky, I found it while Mr Aussie L was searching where he thought it would be. He was wrong, I was right, I came up with the cache. Took a nice seat nearby and signed the log.

Nice and quick. Found with SOS89, TFTC!

Found with moberg89, TFTC

Geohubby and a newbie with us went to hunt for this cache. Geohubby checked a couple of places but the newbie beat him to the find. Nice cache AmbulareSimia. TFTC!! All was good. They took a seat and signed the log. Thanks for these Great Circle Line caches.

found with anddad, we took a short walk to wait for a muggle to leave then found it quickly

Found at 1230 Hrs with bluegonz. Quick find after a muggle departed.
Thanks AmbulareSima.

Found at 0817. Found quickly between muggles on a busy road. Recorded the tile number and on my way. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.

This was cache # 6 of 27 for the day, on my way to 5500 cache finds. Once the bus stop was clear of passengers, this one was a nice quick find. My thanks to AmbulareSimia for the cache.

Quickly grabbed by Biggles and then made use of the nearby seat to do the paperwork. Thanks

Cache #41 on our Gold Coast to Brisbane road trip. Nearly ended up on the wrong side of the road but let the GPS settle and it took us straight to GZ. TFTC, Biggles.

We located the cache easily enough and recorded the clue - only problem is that during the course of the day, we lost the notebook in which we recorded the information. TFTC AmbulareSimia

Found it No. 2958 ... quick find ... TNLN TFTC

nice easy stop on the cycle home

Damn I love well hidden stealthy hides nice little park and seek happy hunting all

Found it. No muggles in muggle transport devices (cars) or on foot.
TFTC

easily found on an early morning walk before a busy day
TFTC

A busy spot this morning. I waited for quite some time until all departed....seems like it is a popular pick up point...and not just for buses!

Loved the hiding spot...just made for it!

Nice quick find once the area cleared. Cache dry and in good condition

Collected said clue. Did I mention that I must get back and revisit the other caches!

Thanks to Ambulare Simia for the cache

Nice quick find.
TFTC

Found whilst out night caching and no one around. Took down the clue. TFTC

Quick and easy find and my first time out night caching too. 3rd for the night with 1 more to go. TFTC

Found this cache while on holiday in Brisbane and surrounds. Thanks For The Cache TNLN SL

Much easier than #10 I can tell you. I pulled up near GZ, wanderred up and grabbed the container from the first place I put my hand.. [^] Used the bus stop for business then dropped it back into place... Timing was perfect this morning as I had just put the container back when a ute pulled up right along side GZ, to shcnge the poster in the bus stop...

Cheers AmbulareSimia.

Alkzura and I had read the hint before arriving, so we had already decided where the cache was as we approached the GZ. What do you know, there it was! Getting close to having this series completed now! TFTC

Quick find for this one between other caches in the area with NyletaM and geobaby.
Took time to sit down in the bus stop, while we filled out the log.
TFTC.

With the geokids off at school Mr & Mrs Ksix decided to do a little bit of caching.

We attempted to try and find this cache earlier on today, but as usual as soon as we pulled up close to GZ, a muggle decied to sit at the nearby bus stop. So leaving it behind then, we decide to try our luck again on our way home. No muggles this time so we were able to do a quick search and soon had the cache in hand, signed and replaced.

Thanks for the hunt AmbulareSimia

Cheers,
Ksix

at 11:29. After our problems at #10 this one was nice and easy. Maybe the day would be OK after all. Off to #9.

This cache is in good order thanks AmbulareSimia.

Found by Mary & David at 1105. This one had potential to be unpleasant, but we were very happy when we realised where it had really been placed. The humidity after the rain is slowing we poor Victorians down. Our thanks to AmbulareSimia.

A few muggles today but were avoided successfully. TFTC!

Quick find in between exercising muggles. Clue noted. TFTC AmbulareSimia

With everybody away on holidays I had the afternoon to my self so I decieded to nab a few local caches TFTC.

Yep, nice one - Google Maps pointed to the middle of the road but I only nearly got run over looking in a place nothing could possibly be hidden in. Der.
