Watched from the car as the geokid slept EngPhil made the grab and we were on our way.

Find #1101 at 11:50 as the family observed from the car, and the muggle directly below observed nothing. . Yup, it's still there. Clue noted.
Thanks for the cache, bubba_89.

I didn't realise this cache had been archived until I sat down to log it.
Out doing the Ban-Yobbo series and decided to pick up a few more whilst in the area.
Walked over the bridge, nobody on the platform watching me but a security camera watching the bridge!
Nice easy find and cache replaced in its hidey hole

Out with geoson in the area working on the Ban-Yobbo series and decided to start work on this series as well.
Nice and easy find, thanks bubba 89.

No muggles at the station on a sunday afternoon find - an announcement gave me warning that a train was 2 minutes away - found it as train approaching in distance, just enough time to complete logs before train pulled up - TFTC
Nearly nine months after I first found some of the caches in this series I'm back on the hunt. I noticed the dominoes were no more and had been replaced by answers at the stations. I had to visit the stations again anyway as I lost the clues I collected last time. I must say I like this version better.
Visited at 16:50 to get the answer.

Out early to clean up a few more caches in the area. Had to wait for the commuters on the platform below to leave but nice easy find once the coast was clear. TFTC..
Why is it that there are always gardening muggles in every single park when I turn up to find a cache ?
Not council muggles this time.
QR muggles !! [:o]
Doh!
Maybe the mowing will have been finished tomorrow ?

While out and about caching in the area with the munchkins, we thought to finish off the Shorncliffe Rail Series. Only 2 more to go now. My timing was excellent with this cache as the train had just left and there was no muggles about. A quick sign then off to the next station.

Second in this series today. A quick find after a DNF at Banyo. Container had a little bit of water in it but the log was dry. Dried it out.

no problems at all!

ordered new containers for this series and will be replacing and re-jigging this series within the next month to help with the amount of times they've gone missing.
First find of seven finds for a Boxing Day night cache run after dropping someone at the airport. TFTC.
PS. I hope I wrote down the number correctly. I didn't want to spend too much time alone at the station after 9pm at night... B)

Had a bit of luck with this one and went straight to it. Noted the spots before my eyes and headed up the line.
After narrowly missing the train at the last station, Kaisho53, Bubbly_One and I took a slightly slower approach to this one to allow time for any commuting muggles to jump aboard and move on. That worked well as we arrived to find the place deserted.. [^]
Up to GZ the cache was spotted nice and quickly. We squatted in location and narrowed the viewing to only a couple of cameras… Clue noted and log signed, I tucked the container a fraction deeper into it’s lair and we high tailed it outta there…
Cheers Bubba89

Gunnie69, Kaisho53 were out in an attempt to get as many smilies in and around Redcliffe as we could. At the end of the day our trek took us to the train station series. We headed to Nudgee from Boondall and arrived at the station not long after the train had left so we found the station deserted. Cache was found by Gunnie, clue noted and log signed by all.
One step closer to solving the series. Thanks for the cache bubba_89!

Timing our arrival to NOT coincide with a train we arrived at GZ to find a clear area....
Again we tried to blend in with 1/2 a dozen cameras peering at you from every direction (hope they don't compare station tapes or we may raise an eyebrow or two)

Another easy find while we were in the area today . The storm was almost upon us, so this was the last for the day and it was home time . Thanks again bubba89
Third of series and of day. This one took a little longer then the previous two but still categorised as quick. Waiting for the train i was sceptical how long the blue skies would last as the clouds started coming.
Easy grab on a Saturday with no muggles. Some Darwin award candidates were witnessed crossing the tracks to get to the local skate park.
Find number #137 for P`. moving right along after signing log and noting domino. Actually, that's enough train stations for one day. Next time bubba.
Found by Daniel-son while I stayed in car with crazy geo-son singing twinkle twinkle little star.
Quick find with Bedmaker today after waiting for the rail patrol to leave.

Found with TassieGirl.
All quiet here this morning except for the QR security man sitting in the car park. We waited for him to go then swooped in on the spot.

Decided to make a morning of it and do this series in one go. The GPS was a bit jumpy but the clue was spot on, 2 down 6 to go. It was rather intimidating almost looking big brother in the eye, was expecting a booming voice telling us to "move away from the stairs!!" TNLNSL TFTC
Second one in the series, easy find, glad I didn't drop the container!!
Thanks bubba89
Thanks bubba89
now i´m here to vist my friends, but unfortunaly i can stay just for a short time , because i have to much to do at work, thank you for this cache
Nice quick find my Moneydork under the watchful eyes (or maybe not) of the security cameras. Cheers Gav [8282]
Found it OK but, oops, dropped the lid and it landed over a fence. Luckily I had La Kedi with me 'cos there's no way I could have retrieved it. Thankfully, all was well in the end and the cache replaced safely and intact.
Took a while to find and had to revert to the hint. More security cameras presumably watching my every move.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 9:27am. The 3rd for the day. The cache was found quite easily but we did have to wait for a train to come along and clear the muggles. TFTC
It was time to tackle the Shorncliffe Line this morning, by geocycle that is . A round trip from home included a ride past Virginia, Northgate and Carseldine Station as a bonus on top of those featured in the series. All told a tad over 40 km including coffee and cake at Sandgate and ocean views at Shorncliffe for 4 hours out and about.
I’ve never been to this part of Nudgee before so once again a classic geocaching experience. No a person around at this location so a quick find. . Now for the long diversion to rejoin the series. Maybe I should have considered the train option to collect the next cache [:o)]

There was a spare park in the parking area so I took the opportunity to grab it.
A couple of maintenance workers were trying to make water drain up hill from the corner of the car park.
I found the cache easily and walked back past the workmen leaning on their shovels waiting for the water to drain.

at 11:50. The third stop on our trip on the Shorncliffe line.
What are those people doing acting suspiciously up near where we had found the cache? Ahah! New geocachers. They were going to continue in the opposite direction.
TFTC Bubba_89. The cache is OK.

Another quick find in the series today for me whilst Nearra & Guccigal waited in the car.

850 - A nice easy find for this one with GZ spot on. Found at 1:50pm. TFTC bubba 89.
Easy find, half a minute of looking and there she was...
Guess who turned up AGAIN while I was leaving platform - CHUBB..!
Time to take a break before police come..!

Had to smile and wave at the camera while we grabbed this one but the lone muggle wasn't interested in what we were doing. TFTC bubba_89
This was the next on the radar. The odd muggle was about - but none interested in what we were up to. The cache was soon found and signed.. and clue collected. It was in good condition. TFTC bubba_89
am temporarily disabling this series and will get out in the next week and move all caches off the platforms due to many cachers not feeling comfortable with all the cameras around. but this series will be back!!!
Found at 0922. An easy find and the last for the day. While waiting for the train I took time to read some logs for the remaining caches in the series, not a good read with a lot of DNF's Have decided to give up on the rest. TFTC.
I wonder how long it will take security to come and have a look for this cache. It wasn't until I came to find a couple of these station caches that I realised just how many security cameras there are on stations these days. TFTC
A fairly easy find in the end, despite being so obviously located in front of security cameras. It started raining as we arrived, so we rushed signing and scooted back to the car. The station was deserted, making it very easy to search . TFTC. =^.^=
19:45
An easy find with clue. An interesting choice for cache container, haha.
Had to pretend we were having a conversation, as a train pulled up just as we'd retrieved the cache.

FTF @ 10:45 am
Joint find with Nearra.
However I'm getting a little concerned with the caches being placed on the platforms. There's heaps of cameras watching your every move. TFTC.

Joint FTF with Guccigal. Nearly did not chase this one as there were security guards hanging out when we got there. After they left we went for a walk and found the cache. Not used to searching for caches with security cameras watching your every move.
