Another nice little bush area to have a wander through. At GZ I had a choice of two logs to search. It was the second one that had the prize I was seeking.TFTC
I parked from nearby Pampling Street, and jogged down the path and to GZ. A nice little river crossing, and I can see that this area would take a beating in heavy rains / floods. It took some time looking around before eventually finding the cache about 10 m away, which doesn't sound like much, but the area had a fair amount of vegetation. For what it's worth, my coordinates of the cache was S 27 33.317' E 152 57.197'. Funnily enough, I thought I checked both hinted objects, so there wasn't any excuse to why I had to search the vicinity, before looping back again. The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook was somewhat full, and falling apart. Thanks Blackspades for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today, it was an outing in Brisbane's western suburbs of Sinnamon Park, utilising my flexible work Friday in visiting the cluster of geocaches that I hadn't had the opportunity to find. Across lunch, I had organised with [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) to support baby Mopsy whilst shopping at Indooroopilly, thus we went up/down the mall levels window shopping accordingly. I then continued geocaching in the afternoon in nearby suburbs Fig Tree Pocket, followed by St Lucia, and as I returned to the CBD, a newly published cache had me detour to West End. A day cruising around and it was nice to be out and about.
Very very fun cache. It was very wet and difficult to bush bash. But I eventually found it. The container was soo cool, but it wasnt very well hidden. Tftc
Today I had a little time to myself and found I was over on the jindalee side of the river. Hmm what caches are around here I might be able to get. I saw a nice little group and a run which would be perfect for my challenges. I headed over to seventeen mile rocks for my next caches.I set off but as time was the limiting factor I do not think I will be able to get all of them. This was the last in the run and a nice hide. I did stop and parked not far from the cache, It was then a little walk to my location. As I walked around I noticed how high the grass was and thought is it in there. As I got closer I was 8 metres in there, hmmm, using the hint I searched around. It was not until I found I was in the wrong place before I then spotted the cache in my expanded my search. A nice and dry log, I signed it and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache and the nice hide.
Requires some bush bashing and bravery for the Australian wildlife around. But managed to find it a short distance from location! Found with Joshin_it_up. I think with the recently rain this cache may be a bit harder than normal.
I headed out in the geo-car for a few caches today.Decided to hit a few along the way to visit my granddaughter for her 1st birthday.I found your cache, Dragonfly Crossing today. This is my 2582 find.Took a far bit of searching as I found it 13mts out from GZ.Blackspades, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
Looked around for a bit at two logs but eventually found it. Nice one, thanks for the cache!
Finally found this one after a failed initial attempt. Must have been misplaced before because this was quite an easy find. TFTC.
Think I saw hint item, but didn't want to go so far off the path with bare legs. Uncertain of Aussie wildlife.

There were lots of tracks leading off the path & a few logs to investigate. I did some investigating but was freaked out when I heard movement in the undergrowth. I hope it was more scared of me than I was of it! Still it made me very cautious and unfortunately no cache for me.
With the GPS indication and the hint, we were confident we had the right spot, but no luck. We gave up after a while.
Out caching with RoddyC and Hatsoff to do a bit of maintenance then find some other caches.
Found a park not too far away and took the short walk to GZ. I didn't see any Dragonflies but a short search revealed the cache. Log signed by all and cache replaced as found. TFTC

As previously mentioned GPS is out but follow the hint and the beaten down grass and it shall be revealed TFTC
We eventually found this about 8 m from where the GPS wanted us with the clue being helpful.TFTC
With all the recent rain, I was a little concerned on approach that this may have been washed away but we spotted the item in the hint from the track and headed in towards it. We found nothing there except another one further away which we at first dismissed as it was too far from GZ. After reading some logs that suggested that everyone’s GPS were not pointing at GZ, we headed back over to what’s left of the item we spotted earlier where we quickly found the cache in good condition. TFTC Blackspades
Thanks Blackspades for placing this wonderful little container on the day you did, as It turned into a target cache to complete my quest to find a cache hidden on every day of the year. A pleasant little spot alive with the sound of birdcalls.
The GPS made this one seem a bit harder than it is.
A slight bush bash is required but nothing too hard. Spotted the cache covered by the 5-months of foliage since the last finder.
TFTC!

I spied something resembling the clue from the path and had a look to no avail, before spying another likely spot. The second came up with the goods. The top part of the container was a struggle to remove, but it yielded a delightfully dry log.
Done with butterflies I went off to check out a meerkat I spied on the way over.

On our way to Rocks Riverside for the park. Looked at a few logs before we found it. GPS in my phone is not playing nice lately.
I finished work early today and decided to pick up a few smileys. I was looking for somewhere to bike ride and this area was perfect. I ended up finding 8 caches and just over 8kms. I loved the ride to this cache and at gz I went to wrong log first and then opened the wrong end first. The cache was out in open so I covered it with natural camo. Thanks for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Didn't take the easiest route to here due to where we parked but found easily enough. Replaced plastic bag and added a pencil as the pen wasn't working for us. Tftc.
Found a spider big enough to make the Englishman squeak! Out grabbing some caches for Wonder's of the world. Tftc!
Blackspades I found your cache Dragonfly Crossing on 29/6/20, 10:45 am. This is my find 2568 and find # 2 today. Took some searching but found it in the end. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Quick find as container was uncovered. Left a little more camo. Thanks for the cache
Found this one out in the open, log signed and added some camo to the location.
Another smile on my geo map
Thank you G C

A gorgeous spring morning was spent collecting smilies and dodging marauding magpies south of the river.

We were out for a walk early this morning and decided to combine this with finding some caches. Nice & quite here today, soon located the cache. Signed log & replaced as found. TFTC
My GPS had me looking in the wrong spot but common sense came through and I was able to locate the cache TFTC
Found today during our trip to Brisbane, today I was with my Dad and TeamBarritts and BenJessAwesome!

Find #2613
After lunch the team dropped in at Oldfield Rd to do the pseudo-series back to Monier Rd, where we would arrange a dust-off on arrival. We juggled between trad caches and multi waypoints all the way, a great afternoon in the sun in a really nice area.
No probs here, a quick find in a standard spot. TFTC!

Nice scenery with a nice little afternoon walk. Many cute dogs to see also.TFTC.
I was in the area for an appointment, and as it was I was an hour earlier, so I had a look at my GPSr and saw a few caches I could get. So a short drive, and lovely walk to find a well hidden cache.
Nice to see these walkways in suburbia.
Thanks

In Brisbane for three days and had some time to have a go at hides close to my daughters place at Seventeen Rocks. Parked safe and not that far away and after a short walk went to an area close to indicated GZ. When I approached the crossing and saw the flood marker post I had a guess that GZ would have to be the top side of the path. Soon found the log and container. I have not seen a container like this before. All good here. TFTC geo Sapiens.
Out for a fun day of caching with Raynersinoz and barbbowman. We were blessed with a nice sunny day for our adventures and we had a terrific time finding a variety of caches
We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our names added to the log book, we continued on our way.
Thank you Blackspades for creating the earth cache for everyone to enjoy

It's a Wednesday wander with bb and Mrs JAT this week and we have a beautiful, sunny day to go caching
The bikeway is a lovely place to go for a walk, an unexpected and nice surprise. We didn't see any dragonflies today, but we did find a cache. I've never seen this type of container used for caching before, very nifty! TFTC geo sapiens

As try as we might, this cache eluded us today. I found an old tuna tin, but not the cache. Maybe next time.
Our 21st cache!!! Lots of muggles out enjoying the dog park. Had to be stealthy with this one! Mumma and fur geo kept guard while mr and master geo trekked in. No dragonflies today just lots of ants
This took me longer than it should but judging by the geotrails I wasn't the only one circling around gz.

Found it. Thanks for bringing me to dragonfly crossing. There ARE a lot of dragonflies. By the way description says there is a TB but there isn't. Can this be amended?
This makes my 200th find. Thanks for placing this. Love the container, haven't seen one like this yet. Appreciate your work!
What an enjoyable walk along here collecting a cache or two along the way.
We stopped to let the geohound have a play in the dog park then continued on to GZ.
That's a nice cache. All good here.
Thanks heaps Blackspades.

After searching some lesser logs, there was a 'doh!' Moment when we saw what we wanted! Lots of rain thru here last night but cache still in fine condition.
Thanks alexrut7 for finding this one.

After finding a nearby cache I made my way to this one. As there were a few muggles about, I took a seat on a log and pretended to be in a texting conversation for a while. Eventually, the muggles left and I was free to search. It didnt take long to locate the cache and sign the log. TFTC
Out on a walk killing time before visiting some friends nearby yesterday and had to collect some caches on the way. As I approached this one and spotted the long grass my heart dropped a bit in anticipation of more bush bashing on such a warm day. Thankfully no slithery friends made an appearance and the cache was a quick find with zero muggle onlookers. TfTC!
I was out finishing up some caches in the Darra area. I didn't even have to search for this one as it was on the ground out in the open. I put it back in its hidey hole. TFTC!
