The Science Of Life South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
By geckomaster62 on 06-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2HW1K

After enjoying coffee and geocaching chat at the [For the Tardy Mouse! #030](https://coord.info/GCAGCFH) event, I decided to ride past this location and try my luck at this archived geocache. A nice spot and an interesting sculpture, and it was an optimal time to search here with no muggles nearby. I had a good search around, and I even felt around the ledges which would make ideal geocache hiding spots, but alas, after 5-10 minutes of searching, I had to conclude that this one has likely disappeared in the last five years since it was last found. Thanks anyway geckomaster62 for the cache placement.

Out this afternoon with IolantheK for a wonder around South Bank [^]
Me to IolantheK "Hey wasn't this the spot where a security guard moved us on whilst looking for a cache over there, I wonder if it is still there"[?]
Well blow me down it is. I think I'll place my name in the log this time [^]
Nice easy find this time

Thanks to all who found

I was in town for a week working at an event in the adjacent exhibition centre, and only managed to find one cache. This was it.
Of course it took me a month to get around to logging the find, and the cache was archived by then.
It was a pity to see so few in this area, and now there is one less, ah well.

This geocache has been removed for the duration of the G20 Summit in Brisbane. Please do not search for it, it is not there. It will return towards the end of November. Your co-operation is appreciated."

Took a while but then I glanced it nice little park!! Tftc

Nice hiding spot

Doing some volunteering tutoring here. I've been past many times but it's always been muggle central. Tonight there was no one about. Made the find easy. Thanks.

Bit of a hard one......rolling around on the ground at GZ. Found by aimeelouisestan.

TFTC! not many muggles on a sunday C:

Bit of crawling around, not too many muggles in the late afternoon! XD

Finally we found one! Thank you fellow geocachers for the hint or we'd never have found it

A quick grab after visiting the market on south bank.
Thanks for this little one

Also gave another lovely caching family a hint as to where to find the cache

It was initially a bit difficult, but found it in the middle! With Neilio70 [:-)] thank you!!

Headed in this direction with a couple of muggle friends after dinner at a nearby restaurant. Night so no muggles around, but after a couple of minutes looking a security guard wandered in our direction. After asking why we were there my friend said we were geocaching. "Oh, it's usually over there", he said and left us to our devices. We had already marked where he said as the highest possibility, but right at that moment the heavens opened and the rain came down. Decided to leave this one for another time. Haven't DNF'd it cos we didn't spend enough time looking.

Visiting TBs whilst at South Bank parkrun.

Found after quite a search. Good to have the kids to help in all the hard to reach places.

By the sounds of every bodies comments, it's very small, maybe I'll come back later when not so many people are around!

Just had a nice coffee at Rouge and stopped by to find this cache. We had had a quick look for it months ago but didn't see it there. Your hint helped to make this a quick find today TFTC

found during our holiday
TFTC

Had to have a REALLY good look, nice one TFTC

Long search to find this one. Eventually got it - sure I had checked there already!

Headed back here for my second round at this one, hoping that this time there wouldn't be muggles sitting right on the green chair. I was in luck, while there was some sort of sport practice going on in the field near by, there was no one too close to GZ. Good thing too, haha, ended up sticking my whole head under to have a scope. Found it, very sneaky but I had pretty much been spot on the first time but couldn't retrieve due to the muggles on the green chair that seemed to be settled it, so I couldn't wait them out. No issues this time, I had the cache out and signed in no time. TFTC!

Technically, it took me four days to find it, but there were always so many Muggles around that I spent most of my time watching out for their furtive glances in my direction and eventually I would end up going back to the convention center thinking I could come back later for a look. Friday was finally a bit more Muggleless, so I started my search in earnest. I made some determinations and started to search where I thought it must be located. Suddenly someone called out to me...had I been so focused that I had forgotten Muggles were still a possibility? Whew! Only an encouraging word from a non-Muggle.

The cache was located a couple of minutes later.

TFTC!

Great little find out and about with my Pedro (PeacefulWolf) TFTC

Cool with mummakaz doing some urban caches at south bank ... TFTC

Definitely difficult to put a hand on this one at lunch time because of high muggle activity - including a young woman sitting on the structure at GZ . Easy after the end of the working day when it took less than 30 seconds to put my hand on the cache - and what would you know that young woman wasn't just sitting on the structure at GZ, she was AT GZ. I would have had to stand on top of her to reach the cache! Thanks for the hide.

Lovely place! Thanks for the cache!

Greetings from Japan

Lots of places it could be but soon had cache in hand. Good spot. Log is now 50% full. Tftc

TFTC

Found while walking back my hotel after attending a conference. Nice little cache

Easy find on way to river.

Out for lunch in south brisbane. A quick find and on our way back to car. TFTC.

Smaller micro than expected. Avoided most watching eyes at the hour of 22:00. Cache is dry, log sheet still has entire other side.

Persimoirre found it in about 20 seconds, while I was still reading the cache description! TFTC.

I was expecting the message on the outside of the cache to read "Another Geckomaster decoy!", but thankfully, this time, it was the real thing. TFTC!

quick one. the first guess is aleays the best

Out with family for the first time...and I found it. Showed them how it's done. Yay!

JoBB found for me! Ran into her here, well done jo! Tftc

After avoiding the personal trainer and his victim... made a quick find... tftc... left 5 Singapore cents...

TFTC. #273. A quick find here after parkrun. I thought I would have a poke around while waiting for an event to open this morning. A nice quiet spot on a weekend morning.

After 2 previous dnf found easily. Inspired to beat head arf after his previous quick find - arf 8 on the way to the hundredth find

Last one I came here I looked all around but could not see it. This time I saw it straight away. It must have not been there last time, I swear. though I didn't have a pen on me this time. Ohwell.

Found at dusk, football (soccer if you must) matches nearby and lots of passing muggles. But got it in the end! Cheers, ambumgroan, London

Had to drop something off to my little brother at tafe today and the building his class is in happens to be right next to this cache. I'm in exams at the moment and have myself the goal of a small cache a day as a break from studying and this cache was too fortuitous to ignore so I guess it's two for today!
Great cache and a relatively easy find for which I'm thankful

Nice spot, thanks for showing.

TFTC

Was at the right location, but we were adventuring before seeing a movie and ran out of time will be back to claim !!

Found it. Oh we are getting better at this

Found it

Very tiny no trackable

Quickly found this one while on our way to the Lego shop! TFTC

Took a break from working at a stall at the Piazza and wandered over. Mrs CF quickly had it to hand. TFTC

With the whole team here today we managed a find! Thanks! I love this park. We just spent some time and money in the nearby lego shop and will now head to the bookfair

Replaced the log for you.

Nothing glamorous about caching in the city. Dirty knees were not too bad and it didn't take long to make the find. TFTC

Tftc

Nice hide. Tftc.

Lookinf for a few more after the event today - was glad Diane found this one in a couple of minutes! Well done for a new cacher, another one under your belt!

Found after FlashMob with Hot Wheels Duo and Diane.

#293

Thanks for the cache geckomaster62

Spent a while looking for this one after the flash mob today.

Was there for about 15 mins when I saw a security heading in my general direction. Having heard a story earlier about an officious security guard here I decided discretion was the better part of valour and I'd leave and live to search again.

Headed off to another cache and returned later with Lost 2 Found and Hot Wheels Duo. This time the cache was quickly in hand.

Out and about after the Flash Mob Event and found ourselves walking past The Science of Life. A short search and the cache was soon in hand. With the log signed the cache was quickly replaced and we were off to the next adventure. Thank you for having placed the cache geckomaster62

An easy find after attending the WWFM. TFTC

Continuing a little walk with dahumbug after the WWFM event this morning and this was the next target.

I had breifly stopped here on the way to the event to take a look, however end up giving it away after just a couple of minutes, not wanting to be late to the event, knowing that I was going to pass here anyway on the way back to the car (or on the way to another cache)

Anyway I had started looking in a very wrong spot, after reading the hint and taking it a bit to literally, but dahumbug soon had us in a better spot. Checked a few places and then felt something that had a familiar feel to it, and soon enough that produced the cache and we got the log signed (well one of the pieces of it anyway)

TFTC

OrionJ was open to some company, so I tagged along. Not long and we were here at GZ and looking for a micro. Something stood out as a better hide and OrionJ had him in no time. Not sure if you would get this one in a wheelchair, but we got him ok.

Thanks GM62

TFTC! Log is a bit water logged

It took a bit of poking and prodding, but I eventually found it. Thanks

After going to the Greek Festival and walking back to the car, Ms Wig says "we're not doing any caches" however, when we passed this one.... and particularly as there was not a muggle in sight, well, that was too much!! so off we set!!

Then Ms Wig goes and finds it in the first place she looks!! Wow!!!

Very sneaky hide, thanks GM62.

OMG I can't believe I put my hand straight on it TFTC

A quick find on the way to paniyiri

Greek Festival. Lots of families.

Long wait, a quick fetch.

Replaced and away.

TFTC

Great cache tftc...

First cache in Australia! Used the South Bank WiFi and my phone. First cache with my phone as well! The hint made it very easy. Quick find and grab. No mugglers around. TFTC!

It took about 10 min, as there were a few muffles around TFTC

A quick find while watching out for muggles. TFTC

Bouncing around for 45 min. No found.

Found it on my way from spring Hill to Kangaroo Point.
A very small Container
Thanks to geckomaster62

Quick little geocache on the way to the netball thanks wheeliekegman!

Snuck over before a Firebirds v Fever have at the convention centre!
Spent a while looking for the actual cache because I had the wrong size in my mind!
Happy to do this find with the old friends, The Coeys!

Spent 30 mins looking bit dnf

Quick found. thanks

Tftc

Easy find, little bag was broken but looked dry. TFTC

it was nice and quiet around GZ on a Sunday morning. I just had to keep an watch on the muggles passing along the nearby road.

I decided to check the hint to make the job a bit easier. I still had a bit of a hunt to find the little blighter. I got there in the end and my name was duly added to the log

This one took a while to find, I had a solid look though a few days earlier but I knew it was staring me in the face the whole time.

I have known about this one for some time now and have tried (not very hard) a couple of times but have always been put off by muggles or lack of parking or some other (not very good excuse to try a GM cache on my own)

Today however, I had a prearranged date with my sister and nieces to watch the grand final rematch of the Firebirds v Thunderbirds. After having been over to La Kedi's birthday bash I had been dropped off early and for the lack of anything else to do in the meantime I decided to have a look.

Wandered in the direction that I thought I should be, luckily for me the GPS on my phone agreed. [^]

I read the hint and got down to searching......litterally "got down"

Luckily for me there was almost nothing in the way of muggle traffic as at one stage I was upside down, inside out and not very ladylike at all.

However, I was determined. And once I am determined - watch out!

Well I had seen something interesting but hadn't moved over at that stage but soon did and grabbed the "interesting" object. If I hadn't been sitting down, the world would have been subjected to a happy dance.....I had a GM cache, on my own.

Unfortunately I had no caching supplies with me as this one could use a new baggie and the log (while currently dry) is looking very much worse the wear. I signed the log, I hope I didn't sign ontop of someone else and put the cache back.

Happy with this smilie indeed. TFTC

Just rocked up to GZ and saw 2 other cachers with GPS in hand looking for the cache.
Introduced ourselves and the hunt was on.
I thought I would show them Aussie style of hunting and came up with the cache in hand.
Nice to met you MuZa
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks geckomaster62 All good with this cache

Heute in Zusammenarbeit mit Judi, einer geocacherin aus Brisbane gefunden. Ein superschöner sonniger Tag. Es ist unser letzter Tag von 5 wochen hier in Australien. Morgen gehts wieder nach Deutschland.
Tftc

Found just now, and to the lady in green.... Ur welcome for seeing where i placed it back

Thought I was going to have to give this one a miss till I saw the visitors car park area.

Headed towards GZ.

With the hint made for a nice quick find.

TFTH

Few muggles luckily today. A bit of lyimg around and hide and seek, maybe a combat roll and hey presto!

Found it relatively quickly, lucky there was no one around tftc

Look for this 1 for ages. Crawled under the structur, poked every way. No luck. Is it still there?

Log sheet wet and full, needs replacing.

Fairly muggly day but a lot of lace tying and lying about soon had the cache in hand. Log sheet full and very wet. TFTC

Took 15 mins to find, but we weren't trying too hard haha, logbook is wet though so can't sign it :/ come one should bring some extra paper to this to add to the cache!

The heavy rain must have dislodged it - was on the ground and very wet

GPS spot one! Good hiding place

TFTC!

If you have spent 20 mins for an FTF here earlier, how is it that you find this in 20 seconds???
Well, this is what happened with this one today. When selecting a cahce to get on my way out of the city, I skimmed through some recent logs to confirm the cache is still here and worth the little walk.
One of the logs confirmed that my original search area had been correct. This, of course, should make things easier.

Knowing it was still holidays in the local educational institute, there was very few muggles to be expected even on a weekday in broad daylight. In fact, just two security guards walking in the distance away from the GZ, and a young lady jogging past. In other words, no drama.

Started the search in the most logical spot - just in case I need to go through the place thoroughly. But what do you say, the first glimpse with the search-hat on revealed the coveted little object.

All good here, and another smilie collected - also on my face. We like these conversions from green to yellow on the map, don't we. [^]
TFTC, GM62!
