Time to say goodbye to this cache.
I don't want people walking alone here in the dark.
 
27-Jun-14
until I can check this one I am taking it off line
 
22-Jun-14
Think this one needs a check on.. The trees cut down recently... and nothing in the area that we could see.. :/

I'm a little disappointed in myself for leaving this so late Sad It is right across the road from my daughters school and I could have picked this up months ago, but I finally got there today. Cache was found without any hassles with no interference from passing muggles Smile

No luck here today. I had no GPS reception under the trees, though exhausted the area looking for anything that would hide such a large container.
 
23-Apr-14
Nice pleasant walking track, only a few bikers around, plenty of time to sign log, TFTC
 
14-Apr-14
Today I had a nice easy muggle-free find here. Once I found a car park that is. Jeez some of the kids today have some really nice cars I've noticed. TFTC. SL.

Went I between classes today!
 
15-Feb-14
We were in the area with GT54 and Forbiddenground before the Earthcache event. Working at Griffith University I know how difficult it is to find parking, but as the students are not back and there was no one in sight this was the perfect chance for an attack on Higher Ed. After a nice cool walk along the path Forbiddenground made the find. TFTC Bristracker.
 
15-Feb-14
Out and about today with Gulliver'stravels54, Hunting rabbits and my Geobrat#3 with a plan to hit 10 caches and 6 types as that including the earth cache event on the gold coast. This one was next on our list and cache soon in hand log dry signed and placed back as found tftc
 
cache find #1182.
Whilst in the area, with forbiddenground and The hunting Rabbit, we decided to locate this cache as Mr HR recommended that the area here would be quiet and muggle free, being a weekend.
The cache was quickly located.
Off to the next cache location, then the Earth Shattering Event. TFTC.

On day 5 on my Queensland caching trip I was able to grab 65 caches for the day. Had a great sleep and started early to beat the heat. Plenty of great caches today and thanks once again to all the CO's.
 
18-Aug-13
Found! TFTC
 
14-Aug-13
Out and about on the Gold Coast with teamdfl. It was almost 7pm when we came to this one, so I was surprised to see a few students still around. It was an easy find once we got to GZ, TFTC, bristracker.
 
10-Aug-13
Another day out and about caching on the Gold Coast with Poynts95 and Sportacuss. Had a great day, found a few, including an earth cache, which is always a bonus. Thanks to all CO's for hiding and maintaining their caches....
------------------------------------------------------
Found quickly. Cache was partly exposed, so we covered it up well. TFTC.

Quick and easy TFTC.

Quick find, weather wasn't super great so the path was deserted.

I was distracted by a nearby container that looked like a cache. I found logs but no log book ;-D The correct container was soon located Smile

Over from the UK working at Griffith Uni for the week and I visited this one after work at 6.30pm on a Friday evening... all very quiet! A straightforward find, signed log and replaced cache as found. TFTC and greetings from the UK.

This cache was a nice stroll through the bush but took a bit of wait for passing walkers. TFTC Smile

Nice lane for a walk. Nice afternoon. TFTC
 
15-Jul-12
Had a couple of spare hours so I headed down this way to grab a few more smileys.

Being a Sunday I was pretty sure it would be the perfect day for the ones in this area and I was not disappointed.

No end of car parking spots, it was brilliant, and no eyes watching me even better.

I headed off down the path trying to avoid the mud puddles and still no muggles.

A bit of a search and I had the prize in hand.

Thanks bristracker TFTC SL TNLN

Another day, another trip behind barriers that read "authorised access only" lol Wink But it's ok, we just put on our 'clueless foreign tourists who don't speak English good" faces and no problems... hehe... easy find with Team ProPax! TFTC
 
05-Jun-12
Found cache after ignoring the sign showing the path was closed (due to heavy rains). Sometimes a geocacher has to do what a geocacher has to do! Pencil is broken and needs replacing. SL. TFTC bristracker Smile

Nice and easy find, just what we needed after completing Comet Spit and Q150 Surveyor. TFTC bristracker.

With not to many people using this area today we found a park and headed in for the find, after a short stroll along the path we arrived at GZ and very quickly had the cache in hand Smile

As Gaz'n'Kab and I drove closer to this one it was very evident the nearby pistol club had a meeting today. We parked in a convenient carpark near the Griffith sign - although it appears to be no longer a university according to said sign - and headed in on foot. Kab had an attack of the girly pants as there was a wet patch of concrete to walk over en route but soon we all found ourselves at GZ. A quick scratch revealed the cache and we signed the log to the anthem of gun shots closeby. TFTC Bristracker Smile
 
19-Feb-12
I'm just slowly making my way south for a week-end out on the bike. The second day on the bike for me down the coast. Smile

After continuing along the path from the nearby cache I was soon upon this one.

No one coming along the path today so it did not take me too long to find this one hidden away.

The cache is dry and in good condition as well. Smile
 
23-Jan-12
There was a very light drizzle as I started off along this path. It was very lush and green today, and I am amazed at how much wildlife there is so close by. A muggle was walking in the opposite direction, so I had to overshoot GZ before doubling back and finding the cache. It gave me a chance to see a little more of the area. Thanks for the cache.
 
01-Jan-12
Walked to this one and found the decoy no worries. “Hmmm, someone is having a lend of me”, I thought. Put it back and proceeded to look properly and found the cache not long after. TN/LN/SL and went off to have a DNF on the rotten bridge.

I looked up high for Ed but didn't see him. He must have fallen out of the tree. I did find a cache though, and signed log, and replaced it. TFTC bristracker.

Not sure we would have found this one if it hadn't been for Mr Ozibags TFTC
 
29-Nov-11
We arrived here with Ozibags, the clue had us searching in the wrong location, but Ozibags re-thought it and had the cache in hand quickly.

Thanks BT.

I am pleased to say the spider has moved or was not at home today, thank the heavens. TNLN TFTC

Mrs Herbz didn't like this one....a very large, hairy 8 legged hitchhiker hopped from the cache onto her hand as we opened the container. She screamed all the way back to the car! Mr Herbz thought it was very funny though. TFTC BT.

Called by for a quick find. Day 23 in a row. Trying for 30.

My final find at night after meeting up with Gaz'n'Kab and "cruising" around.

I soooooo did this at the right time. I parked nearby and made my way to GZ. I found the cache almost immediately and in good condition.

University is not something I am familiar with - but I have certainly visited a few while geocaching Razz

Thanks for this nearby new cache Bristracker. Wow, I've been down this way for another cache nearby and never noticed this nice walk through here. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find. It was well hidden.
Took: key ring
Left: two jumping frogs
 
09-Jul-11
Nice quick find TFTC bristracker
 
21-Jun-11
Thanks Bristracker for putting a cache on my way home from work.... well, OK maybe a slight detour.

After a bit of a rummage around the cache was found with the help of a LED torch.

Thanks for the cache Bristracker. Nice one.

I grabbed a "signal the frog" pin and left a Harry Potter character pin and a keyring.

While signing the log one of those pesky cache stalking ninjas hopped on in.
 
20-Jun-11
During university hours the parking is crazy here, did manage to find one within a few hundred meters. After a cool walk to gz expecting the spot to muggle central, only to find one lonely muggle race past on a bike. Cache was quickly in hand, and what a trove of goodies. Plus an empty log - FTF!! SmileSmile Grabbed the FTF pin - thanks Bristracker.
