Extremely quick find when you know where to look. Didn't take long knew something was out of place instantly.
Brahms6 found this one. Travelled down to Brisbane to attend the first day of the Test Match. After an enjoyable day ticking one off my Bucket list I decided to mark it with a cache. This was a nice neat find close to the Gabba. TFTC
Out caching with stortigirls, the weather put paid to our original plans, so we made a new plan.. The new plan saw us heading to this cache. I parked the geeomobile and we headed to GZ. On approach, we spotted something that we thought was worth investigating. We were soon adding our names to the log. TFTC
Caching our way around the area on a caching Saturday with Selva Girls, we pulled up near gz and made a quick find here. Added some camo after signing to help Williamina blend in a bit better. Tftc geckomaster62!
Closest cache to where I've been staying in Brisbane. Finally found time to make the 7 block walk to this park. Thanks for the cache.
Out to do a challenge today (25 different D/T's) with geofriends. A clever hide - some thought was put into it. Not the usual cache look. TFTC
On a mission today with geo friends to complete the Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge (QLD) and this was a beaut find, so much different from all the rest and certainly a favorite point from me.
Thanks geckomaster62 and TFTC

Pulled up nearby and made our way into the little park. A pleasant place to visit on such a beautiful early spring day. This cache enhanced our day and helped make our geofriends very happy who were chasing caches today to complete their 25 different D/T's in a day challenge. Thanks geckomaster62 for the fun. We weren't quite expecting this, but happily made a quick find. All good here. Cheers!
Out and about with a group of cachers on a beautiful spring morning and this park had our attention. One of our group made the find and the log was signed.
Finishing the day by caching into the night and stopped by here to say hello to Williamina. Reasonably quick find between passing cars. All good here. TFTC
On my way back from my work yesterday and took a detour. Park was empty! TFTC
9th of the day, OCW ESCR so I could complete my 25d/t in a day and it ended up being 30 d/t in a day. With a 2yr old birthday nearby we were super stealthy and party people didnt even know we were there. This was a great lil idea for a cache and got me thinking. It was such a beautiful day today. TFTC
Found this cache on 22/04/17 with SharpeM. A very devious hide indeed. I loved the hide and the beautiful park. Thanks for bringing us here.
Hilarious hide; definitely not what we were first expecting! TFTC. Sneaky Squirrels
Took 10 seconds to find it in spite of it being a very clever hide. The log was just a stinky, sodden mess. I had to remove it and leave it in the sun just outside the park as it was too disgusting to take with me and find a bin (something I'll have to live with for the rest of my life). Anyway, I had a spare bison tube and log sheet with me, so I left them in place of the old log, which should fix the water logging issues.
TFTC. Very original hide

Nice walk around this area log is very wet found on our daughters birthday tftc
We had to go out today and pick up school books and stationery from a nearby warehouse for back to school. We decided to get this one on our way home. Such a lovely little park in the middle of suburbia. Cache was easily located, but didn't sign due to lack of a pen. Tftc
Had a free weekend while working in Brisbane so while the laundry was washing at a nearby laundromat, I ducked down to this local park to grab our cache of the day. heading to GZ I was worried it might have been in the broken seat that was cordoned off, but never fear, it was else where and was quickly found. Have not seen that type of cache before, nicely done. A fav point from me. Now back to the dreary washing...TFTC!
Funnily enough, the second type of cache like this that I have found today, and in a row! TFTC
I spend more time waiting for muggles to leave than I do finding these caches. Found after trying to not look like a lunatic creeping around the garden. I had looked in one of these and it did not have log. Lucky I don't give up and looked inside another one. Wish I had these at home because my jobs are piling up now that I Geocache!!! Tight squeeze but I left some treasure. TFTC
Compass kept jumping, and couldn't get an accurate enough reading to hone in on a particular area. Maybe next time!
Was at wk in the street 1st look there took 30 to look nothing 2nd time quick and easy 5 min great hide
Found myself nearby so had to stop. I approached GZ and thought I knew exactly what I was looking for but I was wrong.
I then spied something broken on the ground but that wasn't it too. But it made me take a good look at something else nearby and bingo there's the cache.
I haven't found one of these before but have heard of them. Very clever.
And a view worth stop for.

Great little hide! Found with Emvygwen after a DnF earlier elsewhere in the arvo! Good little pick me up!
Prolly due for a new baggy as it has holes in it, but didn't have a replacement on hand.

Although I have been registered since 2014 today marks my first logged finds. Out & about with my mentor NannaRuby, who is directing me to a variety of different styles of caches. She enthused about this cache telling of the several attempts she took to find it. She brought a book & set herself up on a seat. Using my GPS I located it almost immediately, cleverly concealed. TFTC
Found in the last place we looked . Easy find as we've seen something similar recently. Thanks for the history lesson and the cache!
After an appointment at the Mater, my daughter pinkypie05 and myself decided to do this cache. Very clever hide. I have seen ones liked this before but not as muggle-proof as this one. TFTC!
24/2/16 out for the afternoon to grab the last of the caches I need to prepare me to reach 800 finds this leap year weekend. I arrived at the location and found a park quickly. As I got out of the car an ominous location loomed at me, but something told me it wasn't there. So I followed the compass in a little further and as a muggle had also arrived I decided to take a seat. As I walked to the seat I noticed something that I thought might be a likely hide here. So I sat and read the description, enjoyed the location and suddenly spotted something that I thought might be it. As the muggle wandered away I decided to check it out and wow...yep...I found it. I have found hides like this before but never concealed quite this way. Very clever. TFTC geckomaster62
Spotted this cache after a short search. Sneaky hide but have seen 1 other like this before in Brisbane
While in the area today decided to see if we could fine a couple of caches. After a short search found the cache. Very nice park.
Easily found this clever hide having previously seen a similar hide in Brisbane city. Quickly retrieved and signed log then returned it to its home just before more muggles arrived in the park
I was a bit worried when I got to the park and found that half of it has been fenced off but it is the other side of the park so all good. Once at GZ the decoy had me confused and second guessing myself but I soon had the cache in hand and signed one of the many scraps of paper. TFTC geckomaster62
Very clever!!! However after struggling through another GeckoMaster creation earlier today my brain was primed as to what to look for!

I just recently helped a friend move in to a house not too far from here. I haven't done any caches in/around the city before so of course I checked what was around. This cache popped up as the closest so when my friend went to work I headed on over here.
My GPS was bouncing around a lot here and I couldn't get anything clear. So I was flicking between GPS map and compass then between different maps to see what area would make sense. With the terrain rating in mind (something I rarely look at) I focused my search in one area only to be discouraged by one of the close up maps.
Only once, I was disturbed by a muggle who briefly walked through the area....while I (also briefly) switched off all light sources, dove into a bush and froze. When the coast was clear I was up and searching again, with the addition of a couple of twigs in my hair. [:p]
Eventually I found the cache, clever little hide that is! The bag was badly torn and some of it was damp so I took it back to the car and replaced the log book with some folded paper I had and bag.
Thanks for the cache geckomaster62

This is a lovely little park but it was cold today so I didn't linger long.
I arrived at GZ and saw what I thought would make a great cache so I gave a tug but nothing happened. I checked a few other obvious hiding places and even dismantled the sprinkling system thinking it might be in there.
Finally I tried the first thing again and had success.
I should have trusted my instincts.

It was an awesome hiding place! It took us forever to find it because it was our first geocache and we didn't know what to expect!

Parked nearby, walked into the park & nailed it straight away.
A quick find.
A little CO TLC would be of benefit here.
New log & baggie needed.

TFTC nice spot, just found it on a nice Sunday walk but the log book is quite full and needs to be updated soon
4th find for me today on my walk from the CBD to Woolloongabba and back again.
Love the cache, had me stumped when i first was looking for it as I was sure it was going to be somewhere else.

Found it in the dark on the way home from a 12 hour work day - thanks Gm, I needed that. Things still a bit soggy tho. Signed paper and replaced cache.
What a great hide. Thank you for bringing me here. The log and sandwich bag needs replacing though.
TFTC - What a beautiful park. Excellent hide. Log is full - left temporary log.
Found it, amazing spot. Well hidden and definately one of my favourites. TYFTC!
