Yes, I too had to cross the creek to get there. Getting close I could see a couple of obvious trees for cz. Wasn't hard to find once you find the most obvious tree. Needs a new log sheet so I'll message the cashe owner. TFTC
A rostered day off work today, so I decided to get out and do some caches.
It's been a while since I've done any Geocaching as life has been pretty busy for me lately.
An easy find was made at ground zero here today.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.
Thanks for the cache geckomaster62

Walked in the long way from the caches on the other side of the cree. Phew! It's not really hot but it is very muggy after the last five days of rain.
Cache however was suffering a lot worse than I was. The lid was off and the Cache full of water. The log sheets had not been puf into the zip bag so they were just plain mush! All i had on me besides my pen of course was my kerchief and wallet. So i sized down one of my RSL business cards, signed it and used my kerchief to dry the bag and container. This time i replaced with the lid ON. Maybe the CO or the next finder can do better but it was just too far back to the Geo Falcon with the time I have left. Snapshot of mush attached.

I think we took the path less travelled to find this cache, but find it we did, so the outcome was ultimately the same. Tftc
Thanks for cache co. Nice little walk, thanks for bringing us to this spot :^)
Looked at my phone to see I was in the right place, looked up and around and instantly found the GZ. Quite distinctive
Find #2280
I was on my way in to South Bank to meet a couple of mates and go for a run but I needed a cache to fill in my found dates calendar so I parked nearby and wandered in to try to find this one.
I began walking along a wide trail but soon found the GPSr wanting me to turn 90° to the left saying I was 80m from the cache. In the light of my headlamp, that way didn't look very inviting but the trail I was on didn't look like it was going to go where I wanted. After about 30m of bush bashing, I came across a narrower trail running in the same direction as the last one. I followed it for a few metres but it was clear that it wasn't going to help me either.
Looking to the left once more, I could see a drop which I presumed was the creek that I could see on the map. I walked over to it and found that I could easily scramble down the bank, step across the creek and scramble back up the other side which I did. Then I only had 30m to go.
Once at GZ, I looked around and couldn't see any likely hides but I had seen a tree about 10m back which looked good. I went back to that and, as I did, the GPSr jumped up to 10m and then counted back down to 1m so I figured this was right. A quick look and I had the cache in hand. The log is no longer wet.
Now to make my way back to the car.

TFTC... 20/3/17. Tough Mothers hopped in but not what we expected. OK, but could do with a new log.
Last one in the Seven Hills area! Took the scenic walk up the heritage pathway and down to a quick find. Probably one of the easiest geckomaster caches I've ever done

Thank you. Took my geokid for her first cache find. I think she is hooked.
If you want an extra hint, read on.... there were some pink ribbons nearby when we were here.
Could have parked much closer for this one but glad I didn't! A lovely walk in and out from GZ!
Cache was so small I almost missed it! TFTC

Sent off to this side of town for a chore, and with 5 minutes or so to spare, I spied this one on the GPSr as I drove (sort of) past it. So a quick stop, short amble and a nice little bushy find.
Thanks for placing this cache, geckomaster62. Found in good condition.

*{Overall find #4845}* Nice walk through the scrub, along the creek to find this one. Once the GPS said we were close, it only took a quick look around at obvious hiding spots to find it.
Found myself on the wrong side of the creek not once but twice to get to GZ. Not wanting to traverse the creek, had to come up into and skirt civilization to come across a heritage trail. Branched off the trail and found a geo trail along the creek. For a short distance a scrub turkey decided to keep just in front of me until I went left and the turkey went right.
At GZ found the container but no log. Left a temp log and new plastic bag for the next finders. TFTC geckomaster62

Easy bush bash to GZ. Easy find in the obvious place, just the ticket when you're pressed for time. Alas, the log was a soggy mess. Left lid off to dry out contents, but I think it's going to need a new one. TFTC
Didnt have a pen so we took a picture instead . Tyftc found with Butterflytat during our Australian vacation!

Bring your spider web stick!In Brisbane for a few business meetings and staying with a mate in Norman Park, up early so thought I would grab a few local caches. Wondered a bit to get the GPS to settle and then saw the cache. Log book is full and wet but last cachet left a bit of paper and no tools needed to extricate log but stick needed for the container ...signed and sealed. TFTC
Got to this just as night was falling and the mosquitos were out in force.
I added some paper as the log is a sodden lump, but I didn't have a spare bag for waterproofing, so probably won't last long.

A couple of days in Brisbane house sitting and ttoday I decided to get out and find a few local caches. I lived in Brisbane for many years before moving a little further north and I never knew some of these parks and walking trails existed. A very pleasnat day with a little bush bashing thrown in. Tftc geckomaster62
I had a couple of hours to spare between dropping off and picking up a young friend today, and what else is there to do but go caching 
I quite enjoyed my tour of this area today, and it's always fun to get some more gm62 caches done [^] I was a little unsure of the best way into this one, but soon made my way to GZ. Very pleased to see a green tree frog staring at me as I arrived. TFTC, geckomaster62.

Dropping off geoson at the nearby uni. I had enough time to make a find for the day before I needed to start work. Parked the car nearby and a short walk into the bush I found the little frog! TFTC gm62
