Plague Buranda, Queensland, Australia

Looks as if it has taken a walk for its self!

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.

Looks like another dead cache. Aussieparamedic, please visit this cache and either confirm its still there, replace it, or archive it. Thanks.

Would be nice if the owner could have a look and confirm if it's still there. Thanks

Very likely this one has disappeared.

No luck for us today with this one. The footpath here is very slippery in the rain too.

Thanks for the history, this was fascinating to read about. Now if we'd only found the cache...

All this talk of being 8 foot tall to reach this cache is not helping me find the blighter
Another ride past and sticky beak didn't reveal anything suspicious that I could see.
Which means that the cache might be ..........
I'll bring a ladder next time to check

It seems a new plague has struck these parts of Brisbane towne
PARKING METERS !!! [:o]
Luckily I am immune to this new inner city disease
I have a pushbike

Alas, the cache was nowhere to be found.
A full can of fizzy cola later and with a sore neck
I had to call this one a DNF

Yay another find, possibly one of the most open ones I have seen I apologize for the placement

Yeah where it is plaque? but we found the container phew!. Interesting history about plaque. SL. Thanks aussieparamedic

Found with Everlasting.
Where is the Plague?
Thanks for the cache and hunting

Fun stop.

Nice quick one on my lunch break. I love how it was hidden in plain view. TFTC

Found while on my morning walk around the neighborhood. TFTC

Grabbed this one while waiting for a train with my son. Interesting to read about the plague. TFTC.

This was cache # 22 of 28 for the day, on my way to 5500 cache finds. Strike I am tall and I had to jump for this one. My thanks to aussieparamedic for the cache.

Found by team studstar on the 19/9/10... Quick find good hiding spot! Cheers mate

Have seen this one many times on the GPS driving down the motorway and decided to get it tonight coming home late from work. Had to take a fair jump to get it. Loved the branding. I always thought this game would get me on to their watchlist. TFTC

Got to GZ and sighted the cache, then a kid arrived home from school - the front gate of his home being right next to the cache. Just as he disappeared inside a car rolled up and parked right at GZ. The guy decar'd then walked in through the same gate! Am I a muggle-magnet or what!!

Anyhow I waited a bit to make sure they were all inside then I did the startled gazelle thing and grabbed the cache. Signed the log and replaced the cache. TFTC aussieparamedic

I only managed to get to this because I got lost trying to navigate my way on bike between South Brisbane and St. Lucia, and managed to pretty well pass straight by the cache. cheers

A nice easy drive by on my way to hockey this afternoon TFTC.

This one has to be one of my favourites so far. Great explanation of the area too

Found during a raid on Brisbane with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Steeba.

A quick find on a night time run through the city. TFTC.

#4453 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba, Big Matt and Farmer Frentzen. A nice quick in the night as we made our way around the city.
Thanks

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4247th overall find. This cache was our 81st out of 101 for the day.

Found at about 7:15 PM. An easy find once you look up!

Thanks to aussieparamedic for the cache.

Found with The Rats, Big Matt and Farmer Frentzen as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

We are so lucky these days not having diseases such as these.

After a look here and there the cache was spotted. Thanks!

Easy to find, hard to retrieve! If I wasn't reasonably nimble it would have been quite a struggle. Putting it back was slightly easier. Interesting story and location!

Came up on this one and spotted it. Hmmmmmm. I am not the sportiest lad around but I did manage to get it down - allbeit not in the holiest manner - but I got it and got it back there. An interesting bit of Brisbane's history which I found fascinating. TFTC Aussieparamedic

The cache was very visible from the footpath but retrieval was another matter. Basketball skills, much more a memory than current attributes, were necessary to retrieve and replace this cache. TFTC

In caching from Canada. TFTC.

Needs some TLC

Interesting hide which may need some TLC as it was a two part cache when I spied it. Both parts are now back inthe in the same location but still seperate at this point. in

I arrived prepared with a cache extraction tool and got it easily.

It really feels strange retrieving a cache in this location.

The lid of the cache stayed with the attachment and I had to retrieve it and reassemble it all before I replaced it.

A quick find while in Brisbane for work. Great hiding spot. TFTC. [^]

Yay i got the the Plague!!!!!! Ha ha. Took a little bit of getting, but managed to catch it easy enough.

Out this afternoon with Mrs Ant adn Geobub this was second on our hit list and easy enough.

TFTC.

Out this afternoon with Ant24 and geobub. A nice easy find.

quick find on my trip to Brissy. TNLN SL. TFTC

Great bit of history!! Took some minor acrobatics to extract the cache. TFTC aussieparamedic

Lucky for me being a short person that it was bin night. Wheeled over and gotcha. Thanks for the cache.

easy find-not so easy to get, eventually managed without too much attention.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:15pm. Easy to find but hard to get to. Hope the cache is safe as we looked every direction and there seemed to be nobody about. TFTC

Fortunately, I have the phsical attributes that enable a quick grab this morning... [^] I pulled up within 1m of GZ and wanderred around the other side of the Gunniemobile... Before reaching for the container, I looked around and thought, hmm, wonder which one of those windows has aussieparamedic on the other side... It was only 0630 though so my next question was, if he is behind one of them, is he up as early as I am on a Sunday morning... [?]

Questions unanswerred, I reached for the cache... What I got was a container withou a lid though... [?] WHen I looked back up, it was still attached to the other item that was still at GZ... Not sure whether this was a clever design or if the lid has simple broken off...

Anyway, I did what I needed to do and placed the container back in place. I pushed it into the lid so hopefully it will avoid any rain ingress... [^]

Cheers Aussieparamedic.

Easy found with geofriend after drvie to greek festval... thank

Booyah, fairly easy hide, thankfully had a tall friend with me. TFTC TNLNSL

With all these comments about height in mind, I brought along "something" that gave me an advantage. Probably looked a bit strange as well, but who really takes notice of a guy with a high vis vest who does strange things beside his white van? Cache was an easy find and grab. TN/LN/SL and washed my hands thoroughly after touching this cache .

i cant belive how flexable i am

Is there a "bring ladders attribute"??? Maybe the "Difficult climb" one would be appropriate! Now I'm not the shortest (about 6 ft) but I struggled to get this down! I did manage to jump and get it.
Quickly signed the log and then thought "how am I going to get that back up there?!?"
I tried jumping. Just couldn't get it hidden close enough.
I tried tiptoes. Just looked as obvious as before.
In the end I climbed the pole. With my legs wrapped around it I managed to replace it. God knows what it would have looked like to anyone who happened to pass me!
All is well that ends well! TFTC. TNLNSL.

Thank goodness I'm above average in the physical attribute required to retrieve this cache! I have to admit though that I had doubts that I'd be able to get it. I gave it a go and it's amazing what you can do when you stretch yourself

Thanks for the cache!

I wouldn't have had a chance of getting this one on my own without coming back with specialised equipment if it wasn't for my caching partner in crime. Thanks for the cache.

at 11:58. It was easy to find but as we are only of normal physique it was very difficult to get and even harder to return. As we struggled we hoped our strange antics were not noticed.

TFTC Aussieparamedic. The cache is in good order.

ASIO - is that for real.

Our mum used to live near the top of the hill.

TFTC & the little bit of brisbane history. Lucky they were close to the hospital.

quick find but good camo for the cache . Wish I could of brang my snowmobile though.

Well, first of all let me tell you how dissapointed I was . . .
. . . to look at the attributes and discover that I could not use my snow-mobile

However, someone who does not have long arms should take a snowmobile
or something to gain a little extra height.

Thanks aussieparamedic for a chance to score another FTF !!
