BIG BANG!!! South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
By geckomaster62 on 19-Jul-11. Waypoint GC30FT6

Thanks to all who found

This geocache has been removed for the duration of the G20 Summit in Brisbane. Please do not search for it, it is not there. It will return towards the end of November. Your co-operation is appreciated."

Omg! Searched all over... How frustrating!!!! Maybe a little hint?:)

I have spent hours of my life looking for caches on these contraptions. I feel like I know the parts intimately. Nanos.....argh
TFTC

Searched pretty thoroughly, but couldn't find it.

Searched for 30 min to no avail.

Group of muggle movie makers hampered my search. Did all I could while vertical but still have some more books and crannies to poke through. We often use the bus bay here for student pick up so I'll be back.

Had a pretty good look but alas DNF

Looking for a long time but DNF...

Tftc

A nano? On this? In the dark? All things stacked against me... did not find.

That was NOT there last time we looked!

Got it on our second attempt. I swear we'd looked in there already - must have had a boy look. TFTC!

took some time but found it in the end...

Yay!
Cock And Load It.

Thanks! Great hide

Great little hide, I decided to go for a walk and look for some caches on the way, I only brought my back sack not the big bag I take out when PeacefulWolf and I go out Bush this bag is ready for anything, extra paper and touches which was needed here TFTC

Hi this cache logs are full I couldn't log my name, I live locally and I'm happy to send the three full pages to you and replace with new paper regards mummakazz

Restored my faith after a frustrating multi!

Out for the day and decided to do a couple of GC's.
Nearly gave up on this one but found it in the end, tricky but obvious.

Great fun! It's where you think and tricky, well done. Tftc

Not usually a fan of nanos but what a way to celebrate out 200th cache. Big bang for us today TFTC

Dear Big Bang, as much as I have enjoyed our numerous after work dates (five in total), I cannot continue to visit now I know your secret and what you have hidden inside you. I hope you won't be too lonely and you find some new cachers to taunt real soon.
Thanks for the fun you have given me and a muggle I am trying to convert, thanks for finally feeling comfortable enough to share with me.
HWD xo

Found it! Went with my walking group and introduced them to geocaching. They had a great time. Tftc.

TFTC. #274. I had given up on this one and reached in one last time as I was about to walk away. Hang on I can see something. It was difficult for me to get out but got it in the end. Log a full but got my scribble in somewhere.

I was apprehensive about this one given how long it took me to get Big Bang II, but I think I'd learnt my lesson from then and just took the slow methodical approach and in not much time at all came up trumps. Tftc

Great hide! I found it in about a minute using the 'where would I hide it?' technique!
Thanks - I've enjoyed seeing some great bits of GeoBrisbane. ambumgroan, London

Found it, nice cache but need to renew the logbook

After attending the nearby Flash Mob Event, we headed off to find a few nearby caches. Big Bang was next on the list and as we approached we remembered we had been here previously. On arriving at ground zero we noticed a young couple acting a little oddly and asked as you do "have you found it yet?" It was great to meet moon head who had been looking for about 10 mins before we had arrived. After about another 5 minutes Mr Just a Trifle spied the tricky little sucker and the log was signed by all. Thank you for having placed the cache geckomaster62

Thanks to other geocaches today we got to sign this tricky one! Thanks guys clay and Rosie

Took a bit of a search but found it eventually, Great hide! TFTC

Met JuJu54 at GZ and found the crafty hide. This is my second GM62 cache and I am really enjoying them. TFTC

Found this 2 days ago but didn't get round to logging it until now. Took two tries: once on the way to see Lions vs. Titans (go Lions!) and once again on the way back. Finally found it - supremely well hidden! Put it back in the exact same spot I found it, although not sure if this is the same spot it was originally hidden. TFTC.

Not such a successful cacheday today but finally got this one on the second visit this day. First visit were two busdriver sitting here so I had to come back later.

In Brissy for a family members wedding.
Had the day to fill in before our night flight home to Newcastle so we decided to head into Southbank for the day.
While we were wandering around i had a search on my phone for nearby caches and this one was only about 200m away from us so i had to check it out. It was a bit of a worry when we arrived at gz as there were so many places it could of been hidden.
Between myself, the geowife,the geodaughter, a couple of family members and a couple of close friends we finally come up with the find.
Cache is pretty full up of full log sheets.
SL TFTC

Another 30 minutes or so of searching even with a PAF and still could not find it! We will not be beaten though. ..hope it is third time lucky for us.

Very sneaky. Found it in the end.

Had the place to myself for about 40 minutes and felt like I looked everywhere - to no avail. Will take a torch next time!

Tftc

Wow tftc

Tftc

tftc went with Mikeb2 didn't have pen to log it in nice hide

Tftc, took myself and 2 kids to find it, but didn't have a pen, we took a photo for proof if needed

After two failures earlier today, we finally had a success! Great hide! Thanks very much !!

Took a bit but eventually found it.

TFTC

5th visit to this one - almost gave up but double checked clues and one last search soon realised u never know what's lurking in dark corners tftc

Took a little while. But its still there

Mate found it quite easily. Good hide. Thanks.

TFTC

4 of us looked for an hour or more - no luck

Tried every screw, nut, bolt. Got help from prrvious finder, no avail. This makes 3 attempts.

Visiting the Mater we strolled down here and searched forever and no luck

Searched for a long time and didn't find it. Guess I'll be back!

So many places, reading other logs you either fluke the spot, or you revisit a few times - looks like I'm in the latter group...

Taking time out from the PA hospital where my daughter is staying and decided to bring up some geocaching. Tftf
Logs need to be taken out and blank paper out in again all were full and had to use receipt to log find on.

Logs need to be taken out and blank paper put in again, all were full and had to use receipt to log find on.

Lucky to place my hand on the cache after not much looking. Grateful for the fluke too, as this could have potentially taken so very long. If you are struggling with this one, I urge you to persevere.

cache find # 1255. GZ was completely muggle free. Searched the cache location several times, and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.

Found this with geo-friend. Being a visitor to area enjoyed this one. TFTC.

I was out touring around the area on the geocycle again today. This one slowed my progress for quite some time.

I was lucky enough to have GZ all to myself, so the long hunt was unhindered. I think my dislike for guns may be almost equivalent to my dislike for rocks and rock walls.

Oh well at least it is a satisfying find at the end of it all

Came here with my daughter after a medical appointment at the Mater. Read the logs which said to think of the obvious place you would hide a cache for this machine. Found it within a minute! Good chamo!

First geocache ive ever found.

Was very interesting find however I did get weird looks from muggles.

I have been fighting the muggle hobo for my last few visits to this site on my uni weekend days. Early this morning all was clear for a final nail in this coffin. So happy to have my name in this cache albeit very full. Certainly not an easy find, but after what must be at least 6 visits, I can finally 'put it to rest' just like the old girl herself.
Very nice cammo choice of GZ thanks Geckomaster!

I have been looking for urban caches all day of the micro variety.
I think it was getting me ready for this one, the last for the day.
I had many relatives use one of these in the wars gone by.
Today I got close and personal with this one as I ran my hands all over this machine looking for that elusive cache. It took me about 15 minutes to find.
Last place to look and there it was.
It is 6pm. Time to catch the train and head home.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks geckomaster62 All good with this cache

T4TC! You need a new logbook. Although we usually do not like Nano Caches we made this because we just passed the park, had enough time and good weather.

My GPS was pointing me straight up the stairs, I could have gone up the ramp but decided to take the direct route GZ is starting to get a little old and worn out but it take me back to my army days many years ago and from my days in the army I stood and thought where would be the obvious place to hide a cache and I was right and it was in hand whit him seconds, A great little cache and a good hide but the log needs some urgent TLC otherwise TFTC Chingola

Log Book needs maintenance

Found it with BanditSandy!
TFTC

First one in Brisbane after a nice long evening walk with criswo. Nice hiding place but not good enough for us TFTC!

Nice spot. Good hide

Finally found it on my third visit. Very good camo. On a sunny day i hardly reccon to take of your sunglasses tftc!

Our second day in Brisbane caching together and after enjoying a nice dinner nearby in Southbank we took a walk to find our daily cache. The heavens had opened up earlier and made everything a little wet which hampered the searching a little. We did spend a lot of time here relying mostly on feel in the dark as we didn't want to break out torches in the urban environment. The road workers went about their business unaware of the search efforts going on in the background and after a good long determined search the little cache revealed itself (and yes in probably the first place we looked) . These types of caches on heavy machinery can always be a little tricky . A great little hide in the end, TFTC geckomaster62

Yay found it fairly quickly this time. Nice little cache, good hiding spot.

Once again, JD&Coke to the rescue. Second time lucky! Definitely breach!

Found . Finally! And yet it was so easy. Found with amiss Toozey on second visit tonight. First visit washed out by Hobbo Muggle / Police confrontation. 19/02/2014 Thought it better to steer clear! And fire the Canon later that night! Great hide, you will need paper and pen. Small piece wrapped around a pencil should do it.

Better luck third time round. First time a bus load of children arrived and second time a drunk being taken by cops! Thanks for your help Jd&Coke!

TFTC I was in town to accept a free lunch and drinkie's on the workplace's vending machine dude's tab. Excusing myself before my collegue's alcohol kicked and they went to the dark side, I made my way to GZ and began inspecting the bits, pieces and orifices. Before too long I came up with the loot.

Filling in some time and thought we'd do something romantic for Valentine's Day; breached the problem of no finds by finding it. Seriously needs new log.

Beautiful spot so close to home. Geodog & geohusband sniffed & prodded with no luck. Decided to get a coffee&try another day.

I have a pretty good track record with spotting GM62 nanos quickly. Today that record suffered a beating at the hands of this one. 20 minutes of searching failed to turn up anything at all. Onto the watch list, I'm sure I'll be back. Shame to not find it today, the place was absolutely deserted!

No luck even with 3 sets of eyes. Driven away by another 28 sets of eyes. Lol! For another day. Tricky

couldn't find it with no muggles there and 2 people searching, knowing exactly what we're looking for too.

Decided to visit this one so I can resolve Big Bang Mk II. But...
Blaaaah, muggles, muggles everwhere. They were sitting on both benches which face the GZ. There's no hope of searching without being wathced intensely. On another day, then...

Nah same as the previous guy 30 mins No luck

Tough will have to look again before I leave but spent a good hour going over every nut and bolt :s

Really a big bang!

Quick park and grab with mstrCam last one for the year. In good condition, happy new year!!

It was fun searching for this one and trying to explain to our innocent little darling the actual purpose of this piece of equipment. Geocaching always presents an opportunity for learning about the world!
After a surprisingly short time we spotted something unusual and recovered the little beasty.
Thanks for the fun geckomaster62, I think we've earned our breakfast now!

Found with dash94. Right in where it should be

My first one in Brisbane. Easy Find for jojo777 and me. Love Brisbane.

Thanks for the cache.
