Sorry - time for this one to go. Have put it back again without listing just to see if the vandals would leave it alone, but sadly not .
Unfortunately this one has been vandalised more than a couple of times in last couple of weeks, so it is time to find a new hiding spot nearby. Unfortunately log book has been lost. Will advise when up and running again.
Muggled
Thought this would be a quick park 'n grab but was not to be. Found the container next to lid and a pen at base of a tree near the footpath. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Running a taxi service to pick up a party attendee from across the road - as described in previous log. TFTC
Found it sitting next to the usual hide, all that's left is the container, logbook and pen. No swaps or geocache info etc. Rehid it again
Quick and easy find while on way home from physio. Will hardly be able to geohunt for next 3 months bc stress fractures in both legs. So was happy to make a roadside find.
Took We Love It geocoin to take to Sydney on Friday.

Cache now back in position after some maintenance due to vandalism. Dropped 2 x Geocoins (Blue Canary PCXB58) and (Happy Birthday Libelle 2 MY20NY). Happy caching
I spotted the leopard, but no cache here today. There are only a handful of spots it could be, though it wasn't in any of them. Muggled?

A mighty quick find today with Net88. Since it had been fixed up, I was happy to have a go. Followed the GPS and cache was very easy to spot. So signed our names in and rehid as best we could. TFTC RJSF.
Out caching on a sunny thursday with Captain Terror, Whint and Bad Dal and Gambler 2000. We found this cache after a bit of adventuring. Whint and Bad Dal had already found this one so she stayed in the car and guarded the dirt Quick find. Thanks for the cache
Quick find and log after an evening walk through a busy wetland. Took the jeep tb for a short journey.
Picked this one up on a quick drive-by visit but not before having a wander around the wetland. What a great little oasis in the middle of such a busy area.

Off making a few numbers needed to make it to 400.... almost there...
This one was first on the list for us today... parked near GZ and made our way over the road... noticed the likely spot right away and was not disapointed... grabbed log and signed... then had to wait for an influx of muggles to go away before replacing
dropped of jeep TB to keep travelling

Sorry this has been offline for a while. Much rain through these parts of late. Cache back in position.
Is this one likely to be replaced in the near future? If not perhaps archiving could be an option for the listing.
Hi. Taking cache offline for a couple of days to dry it out. Will advise when it is back. Regards RJSF
Second time today fence builders near a cache. Time to rest and check out the geocycle. Oh there it is, I wonder, yes I can extract that from the other side and be out of sight.
Log is still a little damp and needs a good time in the sun.

That would explain why the cache was a little damp today. Still drying out from yesterday.
Bubbly_One and I arrived at GZ to find some junior muggles chatting on the other side of the road. One was hanging out the window and facing our direction so it was time to sit back and wait for them to wrap up and disperse...
Fortunately they were done in a couple of minutes and the hunt was on. B1 had spotted the container on arrival as it was only semi concealed in it's lair. That made the hunt short and sweet... [^]
Out to the pole for business, the cache was discovered to be filling with water. That was swiftly sorted by B1 though. Log and signed and everything done, the container was tucked under a little more camo and we hit the road...
Cheers RJSF.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 10:58am. Not much cover for this cache where it is; nobody about today though. TFTC
Had no idea this park was here, nice little spot! Retrieval of this one was easy with little muggle traffic around however when it came time to return the cache to its position the muggles just kept coming and coming! Eventually got a clear window and popped the cache back TFTC!
A delightfully easy find from the pushbike this morning
The cache should be safe from kiddies, ducks, ibis, floods, and plumbers in this hiding place [^]

Nice quick find. I loved the boardwalk and the water birds. Thanks for showing me a wetland I didn't know was there.
Sneaked in at 10:30pm for a find. Had to be careful as the boys next door were having a party and several people were yahooing in the front yard. Managed to get the job done, though. TN/LN/SL
Spider crawled up my arm as I picked it up, causing me to toss the container. My mate is still laughing!! Took nothing, left a Roo. TFTC.
The GPS took me straight up to the object it was hidden in and I spotted it onmy first glance. TFTC.
Kids loved this one - things to swap

at 13:49. After a morning spent on 7 of Geckomaster62's caches it was nice to find a simple one.
TFTC RJSF. The cache is fine. We added a bit more rubbish to make it a little less visible.

I needed a find to fill a day in my calendar for caches on every day of the year. I knew where this one would be so I came back for the hunt. Sure enough I didn't need the GPS to locate it. I was surprised by the size of the cache. I tried to put plenty of camo on the cache. Thanks RJSF. Finally got it.
I didn't spend time here as I had explored the area behind the sign last time I was here.

Last stop before returning home from an afternoon of caching.
We ride our bikes along the bike track that goes from the park near "flatting days" down to the creek behind the houses and then down towards bottomley park.

This was a nice quick find for Lokipagan and I today. Whilst Lokipagan did the "keeping an eye out", I did the retrieving and returning. The cache was in good condition. A nice little park at a challenging intersection TFTC RJSF
We are very familiar with this area. We also had a previously submitted cache(of the same name) which was rejected by the reviewer because a mystery cache GZ was the location for this reserve.(now archived) Do not fear RJSF we have no intentions of placing another one in the area.Incidently the said cache was relocated further along the creek and is now "Jackson & Bennetts". We found this one fairly quickly. It was a little exposed, so we did our best to re-cover.Good first effort RJSF
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
And were back After a friendly email last night from the cache owner, we decided to grab it today on our way to uni. It was a nice easy find today, with very few muggles to worry about Thanks for bringing us to another one of Brisbane's hidden parks which we are sure we would never of found otherwise
TFTC RJSF Looking forward to many more hopefully

Apologies to gaz'n'kab and Crew 153 who both beat Jimmyproject there before the cache was placed by this inexperienced hider. Thinking it had to be approved before I placed it, I managed to get it there about an hour and 20 mins after it was approved, but you guys are so on the ball and beat me to it. I won't make that mistake again! Thanks for looking!

I was about to finish work when the notification came through so I thought I would try for a FTF.
I arrived at the location at 4.40 and quickly determined where the cache would be. I found that the spot had been turned over thoroughly before I arrived.
i searched the same spot and looked further afield without finding anything.
I sat in the car for 30min hoping the CO might arrive to put the cache in place but it was only another hopeful cacher who arrived. On the watch list until it turns up.

Came home with a migraine and saw this one come up. Surely it must be found by now? Nope. Had dinner and headed down, we were pretty familiar with the area but had never noticed this entrance before.
Headed across the road with torch in hand and grabbed this one quickly. A couple of dashes back and forward and we had signed the beautiful blank page (whoohoooo FTF) and replaced the cache making sure that it was well hidden.
Took: Skull Badge/Pin
