26-Jul-15
First cache and I found it!!
 
24-Jul-15
I have replaced the tin now with a flat magnet, the logbook being the magnet itself. Higher maintenance need, but maybe this will last longer than the last several tins.
 
08-Jul-15
I liked the style of hidden cache. Greetings from the Czech republic.
 
08-Jul-15
Give it a try without the hint first
 
08-Jul-15
With such a very specific hint it was easy to locate the GZ however there is no container at the location.
 
08-Jul-15
Confirmed this has gone missing again. Seems the hide has been compromised by some annoying muggle. I will try a different style of container and see if that lasts any longer ... but am thinking that might be the last attempt at keeping this one alive.

Mr S is at a conference in Brisbane, and this was the first find for the trip. Nice to have found it with Gemmasiemensma, who is also at the conference and who has become a caching addict thanks to us. TFTC

Found. Have lived in Brisbane 35 years and didn't know this amazing story!
 
06-Jul-15
In Brisbane for work from Victoria for a conference so I was super excited to get a QLD cache (and souvenir). More exciting was that it was with sensibleshoes from NSW who introduced me to geocaching via Facebook. Many thanks for the cache Smile
 
05-Jul-15
Going to the CityCat for my last visit to other parts of the town, I take my time to search (again) for some city-caches. Well described hint, so easy to find. Thanks for this one.

19-Jun-15
Found it! I work about 2 blocks away and took a stroll over during today's lunch break to check out the area. Too many muggles at the time but returned a few hours later to find the area muggle-free! A quick grab after glancing around to see that no-one was around. After signing the log 2 people entered the lane and had to look busy for a few minutes until they passed! Quickly returned the container and made my escape!

TFTC!

First timer, what a super way to find cute side streets in the city. Signed the note pad and put it back.
That was fun. Thank you.

Having been in contact with The Drovers yesterday we decided today to meet up and attempt caches in the Brisbane CBD. After negotiating train journeys from different directions we timed it perfectly and met and the time decided on. An enjoyable cache that we successfully found.Big GrinBig Grin Thanks to Pprime (P`).
 
03-Jun-15
Caught the train into Central to catch up with Liz and Bruce, and pick up some caches.
We had a great day walking around the city, investigating the streets.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Pprime (P`), for us and others to find.

Up in Queensland for a conference and got to get the QLD badge with this cache. It was great to have a muggle photographer with me to help give me a bit of cover. Was good to find a blank log book even though I wasn't first to find and it meant that it needed to be replaced in the past. Greetings from albury

Drat! It appears I must have visited this one hours or even only minutes before it was replaced....

I'm assuming this is where it's supposed to be? Hint was good, but I think it's been muggled Sad

Our timing was terrible for this cache - It was gone when we visited. Found the flap though. Thanks for a great caching time while we were in Brisbane.

Missing

I walked around in circles here trying to get close to GZ, and it was only after reading the great hint that I was able to make my way to the spot. Such is the vagaries of high buildings surrounding a cache.
My thanks to Pprime once again for a little history on my wander of this beautiful city. Sadly, I now see I'm the last finder, but can assure the CO that I was totally unobserved making the grab. Cheers again from Vic.

This year, Kianga83 and me traveled around the world to Australia for four weeks. On our way up from Sydney to Cairns we had a short stop in Brisbane, just enough for a quick city tour, a ferry ride along the river and a nice geocache along the way.

Thanks for hiding and maintaining this one!

Interesting historic spot. We could easily find this before we headed north along the coast.

Thanks & greetings from Germany
