Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Lots of good places for a nagneyic but not in any of those hem. Not confident after recent logs that it is still here anywhere, not even the remnants

Had been discussing this bridge walk with Princess Sunrise for a while without having known about the existence of this cache, so if I was going to drag myself up this thing then there may as well be an extra reward for me doing so! We managed to do the walk, from start-to-finish, in an hour and 6 minutes, pausing our time for the cache search, of course Unfortunately, we were not additionally rewarded for our efforts...we searched everywhere we could see and feel, but nada

Nice walk Thanks
 
16-Apr-17
So I had a good PAF, and knew where it would be and what it was. I found a scrap of paper, nicely folded, old and with the tweezers eeked it out. Could this be the old cache log? I signed it and tucked it back into place. Didn't have another container.
 
25-Mar-17
Looked for 35mins.

Could not find. Is it still here?

Found it with larry the looter. Thanks for giving us a reason to walk up this bridge, a great day out with the family. Tftc.
 
03-Jul-16
A nice afternoon walk with the family capped with a great hide, thanks for bringing us here. Cache container is broken and there is no plastic bag to keep the log dry. Normally we could replace it but unfortunately left our caching bag at home. TFTC.
 
27-Jun-16
It was a sneaky hide. It was somewhere we didn't expect it to be. RazzSmile
 
12-Jun-16
Awesome hide. Thanks for making us get off our lazy backsides to go somewhere we would never have gone to. tftc

A bit out of breath.

Like the other cache, the container has split in to two separate halves and does not stay closed.
It's a miracle the logsheet is not ruined.

Found at 8.10am.

I was participating in the Great Brisbane Bike Road and spotted this cache on my radar.
At GZ, everyone was taking selfies and took no notice of me looking for the cache.
After a bit of a look around, I spotted the cache - just the same as the last one down the hill.
A volunteer for the ride was standing only 2 metres from me when I had to replace the cache, but I pretended to check my bike's pedal and quickly slipped it back in place Smile

TFTC! culture50

Go little climb while working on the bridge. But the container might need som TLC. it is falling apart.

So we took the bikes for a walk up that bloody long hill but geohubby says it's going to be great going down. I have never climbed the bridge and this was a great excuse and a great view. Tftc nice little hide. One tip, take advantage of the fountain on the way up, there isn't one at the top

Out for a lovely stroll with Genyo tonight. This has been on our list for a while now. It took us a few minutes to spot the cache but we had it before long. Tftc!

22-Dec-15
Amazing! So glad I conquered this after geoguy suggested it after work much to my surprise and delight. Ultimate spot here. Thank you for placing a cache on the summit. Just a note that the magnet is missing and the unit no longer hinges, but no problem really its still in a good spot and seems to clip together ok. Tftc Smile
 
22-Dec-15
What a walk,What a view!! TFTC
 
16-Dec-15
Was being watched by a muggle. Stealth was never easy when being watched. Eventually I found the cache and signed the log. TFTC.
 
23-Nov-15
Out for a ride and arrived at GZ at the perfect time as a cruise ship passed under the bridge. Once the excitement of that had passed, located and extracted the cache fairly easily. TFTC culture50

Ever since we started this great game I wanted this smiley over the water. We found a fine and free afternoon and set out. Found by geogirl after a small hunt. Geodad enjoyed the plane watching. I'm not so sure about the height! Great day for a walk in the winter sunshine. TFTC

The kids were real excited because they saw 24 planes fly overhead whilst on our walk, and we haven't stopped hearing about them since.

Thanks for the cache on such a lovely day

Second attempt nice hide
 
15-Feb-15
We've been 'going to get' this cache for ages. We think of it every time we head to the airport. Today was the day. Smile Great views from here. We stopped into the resting bays along the walk and read the history boards. All in all an enjoyable walk. Made even better when we found the cache. Big Grin

On a bike ride with seeker and geo-bro. Set out from Boondall to the top of the bridge and return. Geo-bro spotted it first. Nice hide and great view today. TFTC
 
18-Dec-14
Well I must admit that took a little longer than I thought it was going to. Smile
Great little hide, I think it would have been found quicker without Big Brother watching but hey, it's all part of the fun.
Extracted the log & gladly added my X to the list!
Amazing views from way up here. Thanks for placing the cache or I never would have made the effort!
Now to get back before the thunderstorm hits!!!

TFTC culture 50 definitely deserves a favourite point!

Hello CO! Accidentally logged that I found this cache, total mistake and I'm not sure how to delete it. Sorry. I meant to do another cache in the vicinity.
 
09-Aug-14
Inspected the cache today-all in place as usual -have fun
 
08-Aug-14
A quick look whilst walking with my muggle friend. Probably didn't look thoughtfully enough but given the last DNF log i am wondering if it is still in place. An excuse to enjoy this walk again.
 
After a 30 minute search and a juicy hint I'm logging a dnf. I wonder if it is still there? Beautiful views from gz. Thanks for the memories
 
08-Jun-14
cache and log replaced.
Enjoy
 
02-May-14
I've wondered for a long time when I would have the chance to walk up and attempt this cache... And the answer is: today. In damp conditions, there were very few people on the path at any time, so it was kind of fun to walk up all by myself.
At the top, I just sat and pondered life for a while in the peace and quiet... Well, relative peace and quiet compared to really noisy places, I guess. Maybe I just zoned it out.
Eventually it was time to get down to business, and when my phone struggled to get close coords, I just turned it off and looked everywhere. I missed it on the first pass, but not the second, and I made sure to then give the camera a big thumbs up, just in case I was indeed the most exciting thing happening on the bridge at that moment.
Very nice work with colour and placement here, and well done for putting a cache in such a memorable spot. Favourite point time: TFTC.

Well hidden. TFTC.

Managed to score it with the Emirates A380 passing over!

Great and clever little cache. Like it was meant to be. TFTC
 
03-Feb-14
Found it, great walk up...even nicer coming down!

After checking with a previous finder that the really was there, I set out in the face of a thunderstorm for a second look.

There it is. I swear it wasn't there last time I looked.

Thanks

I have to admit defeat after 30minutes up on this bridge.
 
TFTC found it
 
17-Aug-13
After the event this afternoon I struck out on my own and thought that a walk was in order. I knew where to park and the approach to take, but still the walk just takes time.

Just about on top of the bridge and the horn sounds was the P&O ship sails underneath. I got some photos looked around for a little while and eventually come up with a cache.

19-Jun-13
Found it Smile
 
08-Jun-13
I wonder how many times I have driven past this one. TFTC
 
03-Jun-13
Had the time so took a hike, well worth walking over this bridge. I am surprised to be told that not every ship can get under it. TFTC.
 
20-May-13
I really enjoy my walk along the bridge, it is certainly a different perspective than driving. I was surprised so few people were about, a shame really, it was good weather for a walk Smile

The cache was found easily and here view from here is fantastic, although it is all through wire or smoky Perspex.

Thanks Smile
 
19-May-13
Accompanied by Skibeagle163, we made a foot ascent to the peak of the Gateway Bridge. Apart from the occasional muggle on a pushbike, not too many pedestrians about.
When we arrived at the GZ we were mindful of the CCTV camera overhead. After a bit of a clayton's search (the search you have when trying to look like your not really searching), the cache container was spotted.
Thanks Culture50 for this cache hide.
 
19-May-13
Out caching with Wazza&Kara today taking advantage of a perfect caching weather opportunity. Smile

Seemed like it wasn't that far from the bottom t the top when you stand far away from the bridge. My car doesn't have any trouble getting up then down - but walking - well that's a different story !!

Still, with the determination of an ant on a hot brick we flew up the path dodging the occasional muggle on bike.

Signed and sigh-see'ed - all done.

Well I've been putting this off long enough and today was the day.

Don't know why all the fuss. A very enjoyable walk up even for this old bloke Smile

Made our way to the top, enjoyed some views while looking for cache. Located, extracted and log signed.

Enjoyed the views some more before heading back. Glad to have this one changed to a smiley.

MILESTONE 1800. And on my birthday too.Smile

Decided to celebrate my birthday (not telling, it's not about the numbers - Red Face oh right, #1800 being celebrated sort of kills that argument hey?) with several hours on the caching trails with the ever game net88 walking two steps to my one and keeping up. I like mountain climbs for milestones, but with all the recent rain and limited time I thought I might have to settle for a screwy puzzle or something. Then a few weeks ago Mrs Prime[:X] suggested a man-made mountain. Hmmm. 3km round trip hike, 78 vertical metres up and down. That sounds fair.

After a few lead up caches we arrived at Base Zero and commenced the climb. Up there? Yes, up there. Dodging the wildlife (OK, one rather sad and sick cane toad which was waaaay lost), and the overly keen cyclists (including one young kid with his parents - great effort young man) we hiked onward. Little manages to slow down net88 chatterSurprised, although she had been to the gym only 24 hours earlier in her defense, but apart from the distraction of planning an odd powertrail and a short discussion on the physics of pumping drinking water all the way to the top (which apparently they don't do), we did fine and quickly arrived at GZ.

With a cyclist also there, resting and taking photos of clouds I think[?] net88 beelined for the seat, quietly announcing to me as she did so "its there!" - spotted it immediately. As muggle packed up and left us to it, cache was extracted and our names made it into the logbook Big Grin[^]. Took a few photos that turned out pretty ordinary[:o)], but here's one of yours-truly sworking out where to next. Return trip was uneventful, but just as good for the muscles.

Thanks for placing this cache, culture50. Found in good condition.

Found this cache whilst out caching with P`Prime for his birthday. We pulled up once we found some legal parking and started up the path. We passed a pair of abandoned leather work shoes and a little bit further up a toad that had obviously gotten very lost after his friday night bender. When we hit the first shelter i stopped to grab a quick drink before we continued. We got to the second shelter and I could have used a second drink but sadly there was no drink fountain at this one though i was able to have a minute or so rest. We continued up to the final shelter and were surprised at the 10km/hour limit. Surely a bike rolling down the hill would go a lot faster than 10km/hour and surely a few minutes later a family on bikes flew past us.

When we got the the final shelter there was a man standing there next to his bicycle. After a lot of jedi mind tricks we convinced the man he wanted to leave and finally he did. Meanwhile I had sat down and spotted the cache as i was doing so. I informed Mr Prime of where the cache was so he could grab it using his bag of tools. When we replaced the cache we enjoyed the walk back down the "hill" to the car and passed the rapidly dying toad. Thanks for the cache culture50

Finally found it !
Have been over the bridge quite a few times on the MTB. but only found the cache during an evening walk over the bridge ( watched a cruise liner pass underneath & wished I had something to drop down it's funnel ha ha ). Great hide. TFTC Big Grin

3rd of 3 finds today at 10:17.

I felt like going for a ride today as the weather was not overcast for once. I wasn't sure where I would end up on my ride when I started but the kms added up and I decided I would attempt to find this cache on the top of the Gateway Bridge.

However, it wasn't to be on my first attempt as a large group of people had gathered at the viewing platform. I decided to keep cycling as I figured I might as well attempt the others in the neighbourhood.

After finding 2/3 that I looked for I climbed the bridge again and was pleased to see I had the viewing platform to myself. I searched in many places before spotting the cache. Great spot.

After signing the logbook and replacing the cache (I was worried a muggle or two were on their way up), I admired the view some more before commencing my journey home.

Out and about with Lady membsec for our last caching Thursday for the year. Silly holiday season gets in the way of so many things! Sad We had just found the cache at the bottom of the 'climb' and then started the mighty hike to the summit! Well it was most possibly a long walk but with great company felt like we just walked up the street. A very quick search at GZ soon had Lady membsec come up with the goods. Glad to have finally made this a smilie! I drive past it often enough with it just out of reach.

Out and about on our last Thursday for the year Twisted with the lovely Nyssaflutterby. She sent me a text asking if I wanted to climb a bridge.......climb a bridge???!!!! Oh why not!!! Big Grin Took a little while to work out where to park but we soon zoomed into the parking area and set off in search of GZ. We picked up another close by cache as we headed for this one. I think we talk too much to worry about the little climb....what climb, was there a climb????? Razz The GPSr soon had us where we needed to search and it didn't take very long before we had the sneaky cache in our hands. A quick sign and a photo and off we go again, down, down, down!!!!! Great views.

After a looooong walk up on to the ridge of the bridge with Captain Terror, he promptly sat down and said "Haven't you found it yet?" Then he gave me a teeny weeny hint as in "I can see it!"

I poked around for around five and spotted the cache in its hidey hole Smile

Geez ... This bridge is longer than I realised! Bet I put in twice as many strides as CT!

As we turned back on to the bike path for the descent, the cap'n pointed out a mini Give Way sign at the junction. I mused that they must have made a special die to cut it. Why? Maybe someone was bored one day and decided to create some cute little signs for cyclists with really keen eyesight Razz

Great view from the top and we liked that a P&O ship was leaving the port as we stood up top!

Pretty trickey considering the lack of hiding spots.
 
07-Oct-12
No luck for me here either [:([. Though I do find I tend to get psyched out by previous DNFs. I had a good 5 min to search before walker muggles arrived on the scene. I thought I was focssing on the right area though I didn't get a chance to check the "other" side of the footpath given the muggles presence.

Shame too, I've had this one on my wishlist for a while. I'll just have to ride back on another Sunday morning Smile. 78km in total for the record Big Grin. TFTH culture 50
