I'm posting this late. We saw a big icecream container but it was empty. It was most likely muggles who took it and left the container. It was so sad that there was so much rubbish left everywhere. Oh well.
Sadly, all we found were lots of mosquitoes and lots of rubbish . Girls thought they’d found it but turned out to be just a used drink bottle under a tree.
We saw plenty of thorns but no rose amongst them.
We saw a black tree, and a palm thinking they stood out but no luck.
Might try again tomorrow armed with bug spray.
The grandkids loved it even though they didn’t find it . This was their first time.

We don’t want to go in the air again it’s to horny to be there you will get hurt
An extensive search, but nothing to show for it. After reading previous logs later, maybe I was looking for the wrong sized container.
Another day....................
Another day....................
After an hour and so of searching we still couldn’t locate it. Although there were quite a few holes of where it could have been and others have dug it up - we couldn’t locate it
Fun find scratching around in the undergrowth with the bush turkeys after school!
Attempted in daylight, GPS kept changing, tried a little path that stops at big tree with broken thorn bushes, to the right was a proper track leading to waters edge with local beasties which would put me approximately in the right point, still no go.
Don't be fooled, this is not a small vitamin container. GPS was leading us deep into thorn country on this one and I got stuck for a few panicky moments when the thorns wouldn't release my hair! Thereafter I grabbed a thorn which then had to be extracted by geohubby. Finally the very big vitamin container - try missile sized! - was found uncovered, lying in the open. Tried to cover up a little better.
A speedy find today impressed the muggle family we were out with today TFTC
It was great to be back in Bellmere today. 20+ years ago my wife and I rented a place around the corner from GZ. It was even where I asked my wife to marry me. So many happy and painful memories in this suburb.
I was sweating hard but this was the last cache on the radar before I had to pick my kid up. Any more caches in this heat and I probably would have started melting.
I was looking in all the wrong spots because I assumed I was looking for something tiny and almost gagged when I saw the size of it. tftc

Got it, signed the log, blew some bubbles and returned it to its hiding place. Area was quite wet after last nights rain. TFTC
Well based on my unsuccessful past attempt, I'm happy to say I found it.. lay uncovered
Spent the morning looking with my toddler, had the coordinates right, but couldn't find it
Returned with Lost In Transit, and also noticed that we had signed log back in February but forgot to get smiley.
Came here with jazjazzyjaz and Imbunda, we looked for something hidden and at first we were stumped. But then widened our search and found it, put a bit more camo on it as it was exposed and bare. Thanks for the cache mosell10. :^)
Another cache found by TheWilkinsGang on the way home from an Event, it took a bit of searching for as we were watching the thorns. Log was signed by all and cache replaced as found. TFTC
Took a bit of scratching and widening our search area before the cache was found. A nice sized container here, perfect for swaps. Tftc
. Nice and easy.Found this after a dnf earlier in the year. It was very exposed so add some camo to it thanks
!!Found it!! Be careful with the trees & thorns duct & explore the bush. Make sure to wear inclosed shoes to find geo.
Gps was jumping around quite a bit then it appeared that I was 2 meters away ha a likely tree and a pen in the undergrowth then I saw a likely pile of bark sadly no cache Had a good look around but couldn't see anything like the size of the cache
Our first find with our friends that are excited for the new treasure hunting. Geosam and her to geokids
Found it with geosons open and emptied, log was near cache weather damaged. Put a new log and treasures in cache and stuck a 'geocache.com please do not remove' label on it. Put it back in amongst trees and covered with a bit of foliage. "Happy Valentine's Day" Share the Love of Adventure! BYOP
Found this one out in the open. Log full, needs replacing. Signed as best as I could and re-hid the cache with a bit more camouflage. TFTC mosell10
I woke up quite early on this sunny sunday and decided to search a few caches before doing anything else. This one was the first i (quickly) found. TFTC !
On school holidays in Brisbane and found by geoson M. Needs a new log as the old one is full and left a pen for the next cachers. Lovely reserve!
Out and about in the area finding all of those caches I have not found on past visits. 
After finding the 'new ones' around Ewen Dam I am now heading south and home.
But it could that all day with all of these caches to find as I zig-zag my way through Caboolture.
A quick find here.
Thanks for the cache.

Checking our map & there are way too many green spots around Caboolture for our liking! LOL ...
Time to make a few changes!

A quick find after a short stroll through the park.

**On the way to the doctor I thought I would stop by and find it, and I did, my first geocache
Walked straight past this one and didn't realise. Only my second find so I think I was expecting it to be more difficult than it was. Spend a good while looking and was about to give up; turned to head back to the car and was looking straight at it!
Nice spot for a newby where you can spend a while looking without attracting the attention of others.

Found it. Soooo many spiders and bit scared of snakes due to recent snake activities but in the end was an easy find
So many places with spiders it could be. Have to look all in the crevices. Riverside
After spending the last few weeks settling in to my new abode and being domestic and stuff like that. Decided that I had to get back to doing what I like best Geo Caching. So I set out on a mini road trip to explore my new surrounds and hopefully pick a few caches along the way. Thanks for bringing me here
Out and about looking for a couple of caches today and this was the next one I picked on the map. I found a decent parking spot, however almost as soon as I was out of the car the pluvers started squarking. Usually they just move out of the way but i figured being nesting season they may be a little more protective, so I skirted around them.
Soon I was getting close to GZ over looking the river and with only a little glance around the cache was soon discovered.

Today was another nice day for 'caching, although the weather forcast was for storms in the afternoon. We started off at a random cache and then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest, and so on. We ended up logging 9 and DNF'd 2.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape, but the listed trackable ("Wonder of Wiggo" mk2) is not in the cache, could mosell10 (or the Trackable owner) please "Mark the Item as Missing" so it can be removed from the cache inventory. This option is under Actions on the trackable's web page).
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]
