This was my last cache for today and such a nice one. A little bit exhausting but still nice.
Wow. Interesting spot with a panoramic view. I can see why there was a gazebo here in the past. Tftc
Great view. There is no container to speak of: wondering if this is just the way this cache is. Now to explore that little pathway down the hill. Tftc
Found it 
however i think the cache needs to be repaired or replaced its looking a little tatered

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 [^] Parking was very handy here and I spotted the hidey-hole as I walked over. The ziplock baggy is torn, and the log inside its pouch is worn and a little damp. TFTC, geckomaster62.

Interesting cache, awesome view, have never been anywhere around here. No space left on the paper. Tftc
Space on the writing pad for entries has run out.

No longer a full cache, only a short list of those who have found it, still an interesting and great find!
TFTC. #354. Great view. Thanks for bringing me here. A neat hide. Was not sure I had it until I had it.
Cache is broken on one side. Found on a very a very wet and cold day. But what an amazing view
Not sure what this should look like but was not water tight. Has not been drenched.
Clever little cache, beautiful spot. Cant help but be obvious, I`m sure the muggles living there know by now though!!
Nearby muggles were doing what muggles do on an afternoon in the subirbs, but nobody noticed me.
Out for the evening caching with 5Meerkats, 6th for the evening. A remarkable part of Brisbane, glad you took me here Gekomaster! TFTC.
I had a rare opportunity last night for some caching time with old mate rosenstingel. So I left Mrs Meerkat at home with a chick flick and headed out to gecko territory.
Not sure we found the original container. I am sure it would have been splendid hide back in its hayday.
What a strange exhibition of town planning. Never seen anything like this before. TFTC

Great round-a-bout! A sneaky little container in a sneaky little spot but I think maintaining the secrecy of the cache hide is the toughest part of this cache. We had a few skateboarding muggles to worry about and we definitely looked suspicious but I think we were able to log this one without anyone seeing. Thanks for the cache!
In a round-a-bout way, we found it. Somehow we seem to be going to sites where there is some sort of construction happening nearby.
Found without too much trouble. Fairly quiet spot. 3 in one afternoon! No pen on me, so could not sign...
Out and about on a beautiful day, caching with Couchmen and two of my kiddies in the Brisbane area. Did some walking, and some of the Gecko series. Some great hides found for the day. My thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches. Appologies for the late logs, doing some heavy duty catching up.....

Found by one of the kids, after we had all searched in vain for a while. Interesting little park. TFTC.

Out today with Blacklegend and 2 of his children on a perfect caching day.
We had just finished finding the caches up the top of the Belmont Reserve and some along Old Cleveland Rd when we decided to change our original plan and head north instead.
It was a real surprise when I saw the area we were heading into as I had just been here the other day while some of the family were in town.
I had no idea we were this far north but it was nice to come back and try and finish off more of the area.
I thought this was the last one in this series we could attempt but on checking the map I found we had missed 1 possible find.
This is a tight little circuit for a car, I don't know how the Garbos get around.
The street was generally quiet apart from a party happening just down the road.
I had jumped out to grab the cache and the Legends were driving round to pick me up after a QUICK grab HA!!
In the end they parked and came over and the littlest Legend grabbed the prize straight away, don't you just love that!!
Thanks GeckoMaster For an entertaining and informative trip around your area, I am looking forward to the others being up and running again.

Really enjoying this interesting neighbourhood. What an amazing view of the city. What a shame there's a pretty average looking house in the way! Tftc.
This is a prime view from the top of the hill. Geocaching is taking us to so many places we would never have visited otherwise. TFTC
Haven't been geocaching for a while and finally found the time to go out. Finally found one today.
I visited this again today with hubby and kids in tow. They thought it was beautiful and a bit of a surprise to see here! I am saddedned to see a house being built but the new owners will be over the moon with their patio views
We searched what we thought was the obvious place but to no avail, closed in on GZ and we had it in our hands, signed and replace in no time. And there was certainly some woofing and barking going on! TFTC
New house being constructed and blocks the view of the city.
You have to move over to the side now to see the view.
Hope no more houses are built then you won't see it at all.
Looked at the seat and moved on. With my record with seats I won't chance it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks geckomaster62
All good with this cache

All good with this cacheHad a day off work so decided to spend it Geocaching in the Norman Park/Seven Hills area. For most of the day I felt as though there'd been an apocalypse and I was the only person left alive on Earth, it was so quiet. No Muggles, perfect for Geocaching. 
What a great view of the city from this park. Unfortuately it is being partially blocked by a new house.
Will have to come back for this one another time as cement truckdriver Muggles made it impossible to look for cache without being conspicuous.

Managed to do a few of the 'gecko trail' caches. This was the fourth one I came to. Neat little hide. The hint turned out to very appropriate as a couple of the neighbouring dogs bounded out to check me out. Their owner called them off and I was able to find the cache in peace. TFTC, Biggles.
Found while checking out a build in area. Will be very nice living in this beautiful area. Tftc. Nice little hide.
Quick easy find but took a while to figure out how to open it! Great views especially as we got here as the sun was setting.
