Seems that a clean up of logs & fallen trees has resulted in gz being removed completely. I will return & stow another shortly, close to the previous location. Jumbucks
Mastamak, Fairybum and I happen to be in the area waiting for some Scouts to complete there Explorer Level Hike through the area. What better way to spend some of the time waiting for them then to collect a cache in the area.
I knew Mastamak had collect this cache, so asked for some assistance on locating the cache! Once again it was some simple words like "Read the Title Again", and it all clicked into place! Thanks Mastamak.

1st day of spring. Beautiful morning to find a cache. 1st cache found with my new phone. Pleasant walk in, birds are singing, the smell of the bush is every where, loving it. Tftc jumbucks.
Found with stairman1 and geodog. This was a very enjoyable walk. I would love to live out here. It is so nice and peaceful. Found the obvious spot for the cache. Signed the log then headed out. TFTC.
Goldielover and I found a suitable entry point and made short work heading down to the cache. Quickly located it.

Found on the way home from work.
Took a bit of time to find even with the hint. Looked in every possible place except the one I wanted. Eventually I came up trumps.

A big day out and about grabbing a few caches before tonight's event. 
I have been past this area a couple of times recently but was unable to stop. Today I also had the MTB so a quick ride to this one. I searched a couple knots before finding the correct one.
Thanks for the cache. It is in good condition.

This one had been troubling me a for a long time -don't know why I never came here, it was always sitting there on my GPS but I never came . Today the stars must of been aligned correctly and a quick walk along a very wet and slippery track soon had me at the 'KNOT: -all dry and in good condition-if a bit damp.

As we were already on West Mt Cotton Road, Ghostgums, Kaisho53 and I headed in from Schoeck Road and found a walking track from the end of the road, all the way to the cache... [^] All fine terrain and a well formed track, we found ourselves at GZ in no time at all. A short time later the container was located and was in plain sight... 
GZ was empty of all camo, possibly due to the critters getting around...
Anyway, we wasted no time in etching our names in the log then placing the cache back. We added some camo to keep it safe and headed off... The outer bag is a little damp but the inside container and log are fine...
Cheers jumbucks.

Started for this after finding a nice place to park the car. But came to a fence and thought this is not right. Then read the description and found out about the exact location of the track. Once I found the track had cache in hand in minutes.
Wow my GPs did not like it down here. Spent way too long looking for this. I did dismiss several hding spots because of the size at first. Had something larger in mind. I would consider this a micro rather than small. Anyway I found it eventually. TFTC
Geocaching was KNOT on the menu this morning [:o]
Shock !! Horror !! I hear you say !!
A nice bike ride was needed instead
So I threw the pushbike in the back of the geomobile (yes it's still a geomobile even if it's not being used for that purpose) and headed south on the Gateway Goat Track, or M1 as Queensland Transport refer to it.
One of the signs pointed to Daisy Hill
Yeah !! Miles of bike tracks up there... lets go
Still 6:00am and the cool of the morning wasn't so cool thanks to the humidity
An hour of wobbling along the still muddy trails and I ended up at the top of a cliff overlooking the lake in the olde quarry
I was still KNOT looking for caches
But my wanderings had got me close enough to this cache location and it started to show up in a corner of my GPS display.
I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't resist
So KNOT much later I was headed for the start of the 'bridle way' that I knew would lead me to the cache, like a horse to water
A nice easy find and a comfy seat provided too [^]
Back to KNOT caching...
...Oh wait there's another one just down the road

Thanks to the excellent cache desciption, I had no problem finding a way into this one. A lovely walk in toward GZ. There were houses nearby - but not a not a muggley cache by any means.
It was not in the first place I looked - but it was in the second. The cache is in good condition. Thanks for the enjoyable walk and find, jumbucks. TFTC

There was a pleasant cool breeze blowing as I walked down the trail.
I dropped my backpack where I wanted to start searching and then spent 5 minutes wandering around looking in different spots.
I returned to my pack to find the cache in the closest spot to it.
An interesting pocket of preserved bushland. Thanks for bringing me here jumbucks.

I have decided this year to fill in some of the December days as my finds calender is looking a little bare at the moment. Today I decided to do one near home.
With the bigpond email server down, I didn't see the notification come through. I did a check of nearby caches unfound and saw this one come up, and it was waiting for a FTF. Thought this one was a good as any (nicely tucked away ones in the bush are a favourite) and there is a chance of a FTF.
Anyhow ventured on down and found the way in easily enough. It was quite a pleasant walk through thr bush, as it had just stopped raining and you get that real fresh nature smell.
The cache was quickly found with a blank log book, so a **FTF** for me, and the deed done.
