Mt Cotton Climb Trail Start Sheldon, Queensland, Australia
By jumbucks on 30-Jun-12. Waypoint GC3PK9M

First find for the day. Lots of muggles about

TFTC

Over visiting from NZ and using the time to do as much caching as other commitments allow.The wet weather over the last few days had dampened things down nicely and made for pleasant walking conditions today. I was surprised at the number of MTB'ers seen today, being as it was a Friday. .. According to Strava, I did 9.2km walking today with an elevation gain of 308m with 100% finds, so was pleased with that.A nice quick find here at the start before the next group of bikers arrived from their parking across the road. TFTC

Came down to Brisbane today to chase a few older caches that have been on the to-do list for a while. This area was next on the list so a grabbed my water and headed up the steep hill.There were muggles nearby when I started the walk so had to grab this one as I headed out.Thanks jumbucksFind #6134

Thanks

An enjoyable morning walk of 8km finding 15 caches and one DNF, with my non-Premium friend sausage3.We arrived just before 8am and the parking area was very busy with cyclists but got one of the last spots. Crossed the road and quickly found the cache. Logbook signed and replaced. All good here. Tftc

TFTC - Nice Summit hike to the lookout with the dog

Quick find whilst visiting this beautiful part of the world. TfTC

Found it, good clues, great walk.

Nice walk to the summit also

Easy to find

29/03/2024 - 12:06After a few hours of scrambling around it was time to call it a day. We both had somewhere to be after lunch so needed to set off. Grabbed this one on the way out - as easy a find as you can get.marcussjd9#215TFTC

Starting the climb to the summit with a nice easy find. Thanks jumbucks

Took us a while but we got it!

Found the cache easily enough with the help of three pairs of eyes. Signed the log and hid back into original spot. Thank you

TFTC! What a way to start!

Found!

Tftc

Thanks for this easy find. All in good order despite some rainy days to welcome August! Also combined this trip with a plastic bottle litter collection - 20!
Next seeker should bring a pencil sharpener or own pen.

Nice easy park and grab
Need to allow time to do the walk up the hill and grab all the rest of them

6/7/2023 Find #6254
With only a couple of days left of the holidays, I took off for the afternoon keen to get a few caches, one particular one being in this area of bush.
Last time I came here I opted to park in a different location - by the Billiau Road Fire Track - and dealt with its relentless up. Today I opted for a different approach, and parked over near the quarry to begin a much more sensible and enjoyable hike.
Of course that meant I would be passing another cache or two along the way, this at the very start being the first.
Crossing the road I headed up to the start, sat down and made my find quickly, signing and replacing before any of the MTB folks made their way past in either direction.
Thanks for the cache jumbucks.

Tftc!

Great track, thanks!

TFTC! Found on way back - app locator a bit dodgy!

Found thanks.

Nice

Found it!!! The clue is key

Coords off but hint was good, thanks for the hide!

Found it

Nice morning walk to the summit.

Found @ 1439 with Gumboot_Adventurer and Squirel_joe Joe - GPS all over the place but the title and hint helped heaps. TNLNSL TFTH

Making the most of the time between the rain this morning. Didn't find it at first when I entered the bushland but spotted it on my way out. TFTC jumbucks

After a long walk I rewarded my slef by lookin for a geocashe. for the next persn bring a sharpener

A great trip away with davidwazza! TFTC!

This morning, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I planned to take baby Warren on a walk up to Mount Cotton. We took the direct main route up to the summit, and then proceeded to take a loop around the area via the *What Goes Up Must Come Down* (WGUMCD) series. To replenish our energy, we then detoured past Capalaba for a lunch, before proceeding home.
In the late afternoon, it was an errand at Clontarf that allowed me to drive north and visit a few more of the *Witch's Hat* series.

We set out on this walk departing from the trailhead at 09:20 hr, and we walked a total distance of 6.9 km across an elevation of 232 m, with a moving time of 1:40 hr. Despite that, we ended up getting back to our cars just after 12:00 hr, as per my [Strava record](https://www.strava.com/activities/7443275065). A few nice looking mountain biking trails that I'd love to come back to. It must have been a long walk for baby Warren as she took a short nap during the last kilometre.

We made this find at the start of our walk, and we did have a small amount of trouble locating this cache, as GZ had us in the middle of the track. Subsequently, we searched one side before [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) made the find on the other side of the track. My coordinates of the cache were 5-7 m away from the posted coordinates at S 27° 36.544' E 153° 12.332'. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks jumbucks for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Thank you so much for the awesome find! Little tip: USE THE HINT! We would’ve been stuck there for the rest of the school holidays! Thank you!

Labour Monday. No parking today. All taken up by BMX riders and hikers.

Today was a practice walk for my son. Who has a 18km walk to do in May. He needs a little bit exercise for his challenge. It work out to be 5km walk over 3 hours. Of course half that time was find caches. Few took little bit longer than they should.
This trip we found 6, the breakdown was 4 traditional, mystery and a letterbox. Lots of fun and pain was found.

Today was the first ruzzelz ride event for 2022. With a hard core ride planned for today only two victims came along for the torture test. TaxisVW and DrPam had serious mechanical issues before the ride started ( air in tyres is essential as are sound tubes), stealth seeker was ready to role and so it was that we took on the challenge of clearing out most ( but not all of the caches in this area.

I have ridden these trails several times before. However my usual MTB friends are not geocachers so stopping to cache has not been an option.

Thanks to the various cachers for placing caches along the trails.

A nice easy find today at the beginning of our Mt Cotton Day!

Thanks

Found it

Found it

Finally managed a visit to QLD after 2 years of planning and 6 lockdowns. New LGA's for me and fav caches were the main caches of focus.

A quickish park and grab here.

Thanks to jumbucks for the placement and fun.

The start of our adventure today is looking good!

Easy

Thanks

The first cache on the walk but the last one to be found due to mountain biking muggles. That was one steep climb followed by one steep descent. In the end I had to do a skiing type side to side approach to stop slipping on tiny rocks. Thanks for showing us this forest. No idea it existed!

Thanks for the cache. Beautiful day out and about with pirate linda

Dropped the kids off for a mountain bike ride and grabbed this one on the way back with 2manytrailers

A quick find on my way back to the car after collecting some of the great caches up the hill.
Thanks jumbucks for the cache.

Found and completed Summit track

Very quick find

The distance was a few m off, but very easy fine and fun. Please be careful of the traffic waking from wherever you park your car.

Good hide. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache. Quick find. Lots of bike riders here today.
Cheers

FTF with my man!

TFTC smile 9170 out and about with miss millie geo dog and a lovely day we had great cache found these caches after a CITO Event Picking up rubbish,with friends signed and replaced
Thank you, jumbucks, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

We had a few target caches today after the CITO. After a comfort stop it was off to a familiar area but an area I needed to revisit.

The discussion was where to park so off we headed. On arrival it was surprising to see so many cars parked at the entrance. Mountain bikes were every where. To our surprise the area has been converted to suit MBs. Our tracks had not been changed and were just as steep as i remember from my last trip.

Our first cache. After we realised it was not in the same place we found before. But still a nice quick find.

TFTCache jumbucks

After attending the CITO event at Wellington Point, I joined a group of geofriends who were wanting to find a few targeted caches in this area.
Parking was at a premium today with many bike riders taking advantage of the sunshine and upgraded tracks to ride. We had to be wary of them as they zoomed by without a ringing a bell to warn us of their presences (do the new bikes have bells, I wonder?)

This was a quick find before the hard work began.

On a Monday off, I was keen to finally ascend this one and see what this area was all about.
I drove here from the North and couldn’t see any parking as I arrived so quickly pulled over on the rough surface just before the big dip. (As it turns out, most people go around the roundabout and park on the far side of the road.)
After getting my gear together, I intended to make this my first find, but suddenly 2 mountain bikers appeared and I decided to walk up first and get this one on my way back.
Having done my up and down, I started looking and was regularly interrupted by after-work bikers coming and going, but I made the find without trouble. I think the pencil is just slightly too large for the container but I guess it will whittle down.
TFTC where all is fine.

After doing a walking loop starting from Mt Cotton I jumped into my car to grab this one. Cache was in plain sight as I approached. Hid and place some natural camo in front of it.

It was just sitting on a rock a couple metres away from coords. Easy find. TFTC!

All fixed. See new description.

I found the magnet and lid, but there’s no container unfortunately.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Many moons ago my son and I went up Mt Cotton and walked right by this cache, However we were chasing a 25 D/T challenge that day and it was getting late so we had to rush off. Today my wife and I were doing the walking loop and having started at the bottom of the hill were happy to be half way through (and more importantly at the top).

We were keen to sit up on a rock for a muesli bar but first had to make the find. This took a bit of effort before Mrs Woodyrothwell felt where it should be and the magnet but like others have said the container and log are long gone. I have never put on a Needs Maintenance so I hope it is easier than filling out your taxes. tftc

Unfortunately the cache and log are missing and there is only a magnet left. Time for a bit of love on this one as it could confuse newer cachers

Today I met a friend on the south side of town for an early bike ride and once this was done it was too early to go back north. Traffic was terrible. So I decided to explore this beautiful forest for 2 hours and find plenty of caches. All in great conditions. I had a great time!

TFTC

Georode

Found the wood and magnet as others have said. Nothing to write our names in.
Thanks for bringing me here.

Definitely need to check this cache as I think it’s in pieces but I am here and found where it should be so a smiley for me have sent you a msg with a photo of what it looks like

Not sure if the whole cache is still in tact. No log to sign.

Thanks

Found

Yay

Found out that there is a letterbox cache nearby so found this pn the way.

Start of our trek on a coolish morning

With a day off from work I had planned to grab a few caches and do a nice little walk around Mt. Cotton park lands off Mt. cotton road, then grab a few puzzles caches that I’ve solved on the way back home. Having to continue my trad a day and my cache a day challenges it was going to be a nice day of caching. But some days all good plans don’t seem to end as planned.

During the day the weather changed and I got rained out, plus on one cache I found some partly barb wire to which I got extremely messed up in and fell and subsequently ripped my right leg up on, ending the walk.

This part of the day I parked at a trailhead and started my walk with a cache what at the start. Continuing my walk I grabbed a couple more before getting to a puzzle cache that I had solved by finding one part and getting a further clue from a previous finder. While I ripped my leg open in here my further caches were then halted, so I will have to come back and finish off at a later date.

Of the caches I found all were in good order, thank you for placing them here and I look forward to walking this area again.

Sneaky little spot

Nice hiding spot looks like a nice trail

Found it TFT with joshobrisbo

Out early this morning to target a gap in my DT grid and pick up the rest of the caches along the circuit. with a long walk back to the car, I’m one step closer to closing out the DT

Tftc

Nice easy one to start the day.
Do suggest a new log. This one it rather full.
TFTC

Fixing it up today... Thanks

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

This was the obvious place to start... replaced the freezer bag with a snap lock bag however the cache lid is MIA... tftc...

Cute spot. TFTC

Nice and easy. Micro cache isn't as small as some so not too bad too find.

We were just bushwalking and T stumbled across it. Now we are part of the geocaching crew!

First cache for today. Nice to be out in the sun again. Tftc, keen to find more along the trail.

Quick find at the start. So glad to be able to get out in the forests again after the lockdown. Seems like everyone else is too.TFTC

Wednesday afternoon, back in the general area for the second day in a row.
Another bushwalk to collect some caches.
Perfect weather for the walk.

Last time here the place was taken by some muggles with a broken down car, today it was a quick find for me

Thank you for hiding them

Nice quick find. The cache could do with some maintenance. TFTC

First time geocaching, tftc

Enjoying a scout leader camp with some Caches. TFTC
