Came for a walk to check out the pink algae bloom and explore an area of the wetlands I havent been before. Im a bit out of practice so it took me a while of searching before my partner took a step back to see the bigger picture and came up with the goods. TFTC!

Found with the accompanying aroma of the nearby tip. Interesting spot for a lookout. I wonder how many people come here? Thanks for taking me somewhere I’ve never been. TFTC

Working on some Challenges and my son was keen to ride my escooter which tried out when I first got it and it bucked me off and I am trying to protect my new knee. We set off to get this one and another one. He got the other one then returned to me. My son had found this cache by the time I got there as he had wheels and I had legs. Log signed and cache replaced as found. Great views from Lookout. TFTC
 
16-Nov-22
Out collecting targets for challenges and this one got in the way so we collected it too.

Today, I joined jesswrigley and baby Warren with a bike ride in Boondall and Nudgee. We left our vehicle at Boondall Wetlands, and took the nice ride south-east towards Nudgee Road, stopping off at Anne Beasley's Lookout. We then completed the circuit by returning via the Gateway Motorway bike path, which totalled a distance of 13.3 km over a duration of 2:20 hr. We completed our day's adventure with a banh mi late lunch, and a stop at Geebung Treasure Trove.

We selected this lookout as a strategic rest point to grab a few snacks. I initially thought the cache was amongst the trees, but when I read the hint, I realised where the cache probably was. We conducted a methodical search, and eventually we had the cache in hand about 7-8 m away from the posted coordinates, with my GPS indicating the cache at S 27° 21.567' E 153° 05.887'. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks groewrs for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

I could convince my muggle brother and my hubby to walk to the lookout.... Even though the view from the tower is limited due to the grown trees.

A nicer view is possible on the way up!

We found the cache and signed the log.

After completing "and a partridge in a pear tree" multi earlier today, Peppa and I decided to grab a few targetted caches on this side of the highway.

We had followed the Wherigo to this lookout and took advantage of the seats to have a break and find this cache.
Lucky for us we were here as the heavens opened up.
Waited until it cleared before we could replace this cache back to its hide.
Lovely view but couldn't see far with the rain.

I have been meaning to come to Boondall Wetlands for sometime now and grab a few caches that are in the area and since I had the day off today was the day to do just that. I arrived at the carpark at about 7:30am, doused myself in mozzie spray since this location is notorious to have mass swarms of them.

The day was a mix of fun, torture and I guess horror as several things didn't go to plan, but I got there in the end and managed 8 caches on todays outing.

The weather was perfect, a little warm, but there was a constant breeze which made it somewhat more comfortable.

Seeing as my target cache for the day was halfway along the trail I might as well go all out and do the other half to. I arrived at the oddly placed lookout structure in the middle of nowhere and had a quick breather before looking for the cache. I really needed that break since I've done so much walking today and I'll need to walk back to the Environmental Centre. I really enjoyed the view, you could see towards Redcliffe, Moreton Island and the port. After my break it was time to look for the cache, I checked a couple of spots and eventually spotted the container hiding away. Now that that's done, it's time to head back.

Finally got back to replace this one on the second attempt.

Quite a breeze here today, which geodog Polly appreciated after the quick walk up the hill!
 
01-Sep-20
Thanks all for notifying me of this one. Finally got a chance today to drop by, and it is gone. I'll work on getting a new container in asap!

Hi groewrs,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 45 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

DNF after a good look

Latest found log predates all the DNF’s Maintenance would be advised to check if still in place

Too many DNF’s please check

Not sure why I hadn’t logged this find earlier, on 2 May TGG & I were walking & caching in this area we passed skate boarders & dodged bike riders.
 
02-Aug-20
Four 'Did Not Finds' (DNF's) in a row and two months since this one has been found. Might be time to check to see if this one has been muggled? Thank you.
 
02-Aug-20
This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Snake skin in tact. No cache in sight
 
26-Jun-20
Spent over 30 mins trying to find it, but not luck. Searched both the top and bottom level
 
07-Jun-20
Found the snake skin but couldn't find the cache. Maybe we were looking for the wrong thing.

Found it! No lid and unfortunately the log was wet so couldn’t sign it!

Beautiful spot in north Brisbane. Unfortunately the lid is missing and the log was wet so we couldn’t sign it. TFTC

Lovely day out at Nudgee today Very Happy. The weather is so perfect, it feels awful being inside and not in the great outdoors. So I grabbed the pushbike, and headed out for some socially distant exercise. Only ~7 kms round trip, but still better than looking at a computer screen.

Nice views from the platform! I have never been out here before, but being a clear sunny day, I could see for miles Smile A quick find, despite the snake skin. The cache lid no longer stays on, but the log is in a great condition. TB visit Smile

Now back to the reality of working from home, and home schooling at the same time.

Apologies for the generic log.

On the attempt to find a multi and it failed this cache was close by, made our way up the hill to a nice view and a quiet place, cache was easily found and returned.

On a holiday to Queensland to meet up with my two younger brothers (JL Rockstar) for a holiday/caching trip, a 4 day adventure that started with some disasters but slowly got better throughout which ended on a high.
Travelling up to tin can bay and Gympie, our to Kilroy and south west out to Ipswich.
Overall a great trip away with a total of 79 finds excluding the almost 50 labs found.

Thanks for the cache and it’s placement.

14/1/20 Find #3305
I’m trying to make it a bit of a goal this year to fill my traditional caches calendar squares, and today happened to be a blank one where I needed a cache. A quick look at the map, and I decided to choose this cache, not too far from home, but not too close for those “urgent days” either.
It wasn’t long before I pulled the car up and began my way along the boardwalk, amazed at how much water is actually here after the rainfall the other night. It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but it certainly didn’t look anything like this last time I’m sure. It was terrific to see all the water birds enjoying it out here, and I could’ve almost headed back to the car for my phone zoom lens to take photos instead, but a couple of standard photos would have to do here as I had my mission and needed to keep to that before heading back home and organising the evening.
Arriving at GZ, with it a soul around, I immediately checked the most obvious spots and of course it wasn’t there. The smell was a wee bit funky here today, and I was seriously hoping I would find the cache quickly, but I started getting that sinking feeling as well as a little uneasy feeling here. “No 1MinnieMoo you’re being silly, use your brain and do this”!
Well my little pep talk must’ve worked because soon I realised exactly where the cache was. A quick signing and a happy wander back to the car enjoying the bird life once more as I passed.
Thanks for the cache groewrs.

Nice to take a walk to this lovely location. It was very peaceful here today, not a soul in sight. After a quick find, we walked up the stairs and were rewarded with a fantastic view looking ahead to the water. This area really is very beautiful and across in the distance we could see a few thunderclouds building. Above the tree line, para-surfers looked like they were flying in the breeze.
Thanks for heading us here.
