Not sure why this one is disabled. Found the cache just fine with a log book that had quite a few entires in it. TFTC--very close to Edmondstone Motel where we were staying.
Found this one just after it's re-enablement but totally forgot to log it. Was interesting trying to look inconspicuous pulling the cache out of it's hiding place with a police car stopped at the nearby stop sign!! TFTC
Nice and easy find, had to wait till the lawn mower men had moved on to grab it. TFTC.
I took a stroll today to get this one and I can say I am glad I did.
It's a bit rainy today, so I got lucky when my geo-senses took me to it.
Thanks for the cache!

Another Sunday - Another cache run - out & about with Ghostgums & MrMeccano today to round up a few city caches..
Arrived at this one to see a few muggles around but MrMecanno swooped in (people take less notice when you have kids in tow)
Log was soon signed & we moved on...

This was the first find in an early morning around South Brisbane. There were a couple of muggles about, but a quick find to MrMeccano.
Kinda hard to look innocent, standing beside a tree in Musgrave Park while some girl reads a book over there and a mother pushes a pram past over here. Lucky for me, the cache wasn't quite covered. Did the shoelace thing and grabbed it, signed the log and replaced it. Phew, glad that's over .
Found this morning. There was really only one obvious spot for this one and sure enough I put my hands on the cache nice and quickly. Rainy mornings are probably the best way to avoid any unwanted muggle interest.
Simple yet very effective. Good to see that the city is getting more caches. A nice bright day, with very few muggles about. TFTC!
Walked from CBD to a pub over the river in the evening with GeoNewbie Sabz and picked up 3 caches on the way, this being the third. Nice quick pickup as it was in what seemed the most likely spot. TFTC!
Out early this morning to grab a few caches
This one proved a quick find and is still in good condition...as expected.

Disabling this cache for the moment. It has been muggled and the cache is entirely missing. Due to the traffic this cache gets I'll re-activate this in a few days.
As the cache owner I popped in to make sure it was okay and I was surprised to find some treasure left inside. I'm not sure who put it there but I left it for the next person who can make the same decision.
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 10:05am. The cache was found quickly as its hiding place was quite obvious. The log does need a bag to keep it dry when the wet weather comes though. TFTC
Walking around the south bank of town today and this was next on the list. Unfortunately the muggle issue at GZ was ridiculous and I walked on by without so much as a glance at the tree at GZ. Sad face, maybe another day.
After finding a nearby cache that had eluded us previously, we had a stab at this one, seeing as how it was re-enabled especially and all that. Now, the park was chockers with student surveyors, but we figured they'd be more intent on their readings than on us, and the location made it amenable to having a kind of rest while retrieving, so... Found! TFTC TogfoxY. =^.^=
Found Ok but had to wait for some survey-taking students to pass on by before attempting. TFTC
Quick easy find beside a couple of large beetles. No plastic bag, just loose sheets for logbook. TFTC
very quick find. the binding on the logbook has broken away - perhaps needs a better log?

Found at 0940. Found in the first palce I looked and it just happened to be muggle free while I signed the log and returned it. TFTC.
Exactly as per previous log: it's nice to have an easy find, especially at night in this area, but log is quite damp and needs to be extracted with care. Enjoyed the view of sky needle and city: TFTC!
Found with Wayno on way to Conference centre. Log is totally wet and needs maintain. TFTC
West End is our stomping ground and if Togfoxay thinks there need to be more caches here we will put on our thinking caps. Very easy to find.
#2443. All quiet in the GZ corner of the park, and a quick find. Rather more muggles lurking in the opposite corner of the park when we went through there. TFTC.
Was intrigued by the bicycles near GZ - seems to be a new innovation since our last visit to Brisbane.

Quick find this morning with muggles not a problem as they were all concentrating on getting to work. Thanks TogfoxY for filling in the cache gap here.
Walked up to this one while running an activity in the park for scouts. Too busy running the base to sign log! TFTC
EDIT: Got around to sign the log on sunday while the base was a bit quieter.

Remarkably clean at GZ today, perhaps someone knew I was dropping by...
There was lots of activity further into the park but GZ was very quiet and I had the container within a couple of seconds of arrival. Lucky I was carrying a bag and could pretend I was fiddling around as I grabbed the container. Just in case anyone approached that is...
Log signed I was back on the way...

A quick find luckily as there was a bit of rubbish around but no syringes that we spotted. There was something going on in the park today. TFTC TogfoxY
Lokipagan and I neared this out cautiously. Thankfully muggles were elsewhere. Loki found the cache after a small hunt in its lair. It was in good condition. This poor tree is starting to look like a bottle shop - there is a wine bottle up in the branches! TFTC TogfoxY
This was a quick grab today. Someone seems to ave marked i with a beer bottle. All is in fine shape! SL
TFTC!

Nice easy find for my second Brisbane cache. Hope to get a few more before heading back to NZ. TFTC
nice easy cache, alot of people out and about enjoying the winter sun, great place to sit and relax. thanks
I thought about parking without paying but changed my mind. It is the first time I have used these new fangled meter thingies. I wonder how they check on the cars?
Anyway it was only a short walk back to the cache and it was in the first place I looked. TFTC.
Now I still have 30 minutes of parking left. What a waste.

I loved the simplicity of this cache and once found I couldn't believe I hadnt started looking at that level to start with. TFTC and a lovely location to enjoy lunch on a sunny day,
I found this night caching with the geowife. Pretty slow evening since this was the only one I managed to grabbed. Tftc
Been monitoring the GZ constantly for the past week - including a long w/end. I'm satisfied that this GZ is no worse than any other inner-city GZ but I did modify the description and the attributes to be more on the cautious side. Thanks for all the comments.
=) ok after dodging several syringes like we were in some kind of junkie minefield at GZ we spotted the cache in around a few empty alcohol bottles and other random bottles of things used to sniff and get high off, we signed the log quick and got out of here pronto, please don't bring kids here , i understand its on the edge of this notorious park, but unless you approach this knowing when the council have been here for a clean-up prior, id give it a miss...ummm thanks for the cache.
Found today but agreed with below comment - too many syringes in this area. TFTC
Disabling this listing for now due to reports of syringes. It seems some weeks are better than others so ill monitor the gz for a while and see if these syringe reports are a once off thing.
Nice easy find on my way home. There are a few used needles around so just be careful not to put your hand into any openings without looking first. TFTC
Found today after waiting for what we presumed were some pesky muggles at GZ or maybe not,maybe fellow geocachers? TFTC
Found on the way to work. No muggles.
Always amazed that this park didn't have a cache in it somewhere.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
A second to find for me-not bad as I came past on the off chance of a find.

A quick check of the emails and a couple of caches had just been published. Most were in our local area, but this one was a bit further out. Our area has become very competitive for FTF's so we thought the drive would probably pay off.
After a quick drive and a couple of laps around the park to find a place to drop off the geomobile, we quickly made our way to GZ. After a short search, we quickly had the cache in hand and a blank page to scribe our FTF

Congratulations on FtF. Very quick. I was worried the cache would be too well cammo'd. Glad it's not.
