Visiting Brisbane area on week of Nov 15th - will replace cache at that time
Had a quick search. No sign of it or anything to indicate it has been there recently. TFTC
Hey, came to look for this one tonight, we had a good look around, judging by the amount of cacher swag (swappables) I'm going to wager this one was muggled
After church today, my kids and I decided to do a few caches in the area. A quick find by my son. The kids did some swaps. TFTC!
I wasn't expecting to go caching today but I had accompanied La Kedi to an appointment and she stopped off here for Mary MacKillop. Spotted the cache as we approached and re-hid it a little better. Thanks Travelling Sister
With an appointment in the area, naturally I grabbed the GPS to see what was around, and the familiar Mary McKillop name popped up - I've got a few of these in my Found list now! The Marble and I parked nearby (we were familiar with the area from a previous hide in the park) and even before I had locked onto a satellite, we'd found the cache . A brave spot - we hid it very well when we left. The logbook is full, as are the bits of paper people have been adding in lieu, and should be replaced. TFTC, Travelling Sister. =^.^=
Thanks, Travelling Sister. I made sure the cache was back in it's hidely hole and well covered.
Was on a test drive today with a car from a nearby dealership. I needed to check out the parking efficiency of the car, so I pulled up here and wandered around the car and ventured a little further out to GZ for a better view and what do you know, a cache at my feet!! Ha Ha. A quick find for today. TFTC
Today there is a geocaching event on the North Side.
With the fantastic event over it is time to head home.....via a couple of caches of course.
I am sure I have been here before..but it is showing up as NOT FOUND ... and I could not find my name in the bits of paper used as a log....well my name is there now and I am logging it.
Thanks for the cache.

Found a Mary MacKillop - Richmond cache in Tasmania. GC3P80P. Good to find my second Mary MacKillop cache. TFTC Travelling Sister.
Was passing by with EggInTheSky and made a quick stop to look for this one.

Not really wanting to go back to a empty house after the Christmas visitors left today, thought I would go for a wander without any planning.
Drove past a few cute little parks in area and thought I should check if there was a hide in one of them.
Thanks Travelling Sister for the cache.

I have driven past this cache a few times but I have never been able to find a park close by so I had kept driving.
Today it was Sunday and I decided to have another look. This time I did find a park and headed to the search area.
The cache was easy to locate and I noticed as I picked it up that the lid was not secured properly and I expected to find the contents wet but I was surprised to find all were dry. So dry in fact that a colony of small black ants had taken over the Smurf toy inside and when I disturbed them they started to pour out. Every time I touched it more appeared.. I tapped it and ant eggs fell out as well.
I decided that it was no use putting that back in the cache (It was possibly the reason the cache would not close previously) and left it on a nearby feature for someone else to collect. I replaced the fully closed cache back in its spot.

I had enough time after dropping bee3 & bee4 at the airport to swing past here to look for the cache. It was early enough that I was able to get a park near by. There was lots of activity at the school - maybe it was the last day of school.
At GZ, the cache was well covered.

Second cache of the day easily found and I learnt something new a the memorial TFTC
There I was moving the car and surprised to see this cache was over the road from the next nearest.
Luckily the school children were inside and I made a quick find I put some camo back over the cache, however it's sparse pickings here. It's such an exposed spot.
Scooted back to Sooty the cachemobile just as school broke for lunch.
Sadly, there was no trackable in this cache

In Brisbane for a few days business. Woke up early as is always the case when you change time zones especially now NZDLS is here. Beaut morning. Warm and sunny. Quick find. TFTC
TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route Shepparton to Bundaberg.
found it Friday the 13th. ooooohh. left bug. too easy. change hint maybe. thank you.
After three laps and much poking and prodding I liberated the cache from its hide. Took bells and whistle TB. Thanks
Found this one having a fews stabs looking around the cache zone, it was lightly raining. Found on my way home from work. Cache is in good condition taken nothing placed nothing signed log.
Yikes, I arrived at GZ to find the cache exposed with only a little camo on one corner... Lucky no-one has spotted it I guess...
I retrieved it and moved over to the wall for business, before tucking it deeper into its lair and adding plenty of camo to the top. It should be fine now, unless of course the disturbance is from critters... [?]
Cheers Travelling Sister.

Quick find while working our way to the airport to drop off Gleakk after a great couple of days caching and going to the xx.

Easy find with the_young_1s, TFTC! Here on holiday from Perth and heading home tonight so was hoping to pick up the bug placed yesterday but it's not in the cache - hopefully it is with someone who has not yet logged it.
Found today while I was trying to rescue Südseehochzeitsreise TB.
Not sure what Südseehochzeitsreise looks like but the TB that was in the cache was a farmtag with a different TB reference #.
Anyhow when I looked at the log there was a visitor yesterday that has not yet logged the find so I hope they got your Südseehochzeitsreise TB & swapped for the one I picked up today.
Also, there was another smurfy type soft toy in the cache but it didn't have any TB tags but other than that it was just the logbook (no pencil so I wasn't able to write in the log)

On a night out with caching with[blue] Net88, CaptainTerror [/blue]and [purple]NyssaFlutterby [/purple] this cache was able to be found and logged when first meeting up with Net88.
It was a very quick and easy find, logged and replaced.

This would have to be the most 'out in the open' Cache I've seen. So I buried it a bit deeper - still would be obvious for a Cacher though. Missed the TB by that much - second log for the day. They obviously got it - or I just missed seeing it. So sad, too bad. TFTC
nice quick find on the way home from ftf hunt on the southside this morning
there is no travel bug in this cache

This is #4 in the Mary MacKillop series for us, having collected 3 around Melbourne. The most far afield series I have encounted. TFTC.
When you see a larger piece of bark or a rock you know you have found the cache you are looking for.
Really busy today but I walked right in and casually sat down, had something to drink/eat and when no one was looking, took out and signed the log book.

Found with stairman1. Our first for the day. We were getting worried because we just had 2 DNF's in a row on two other caches but not this one. There were a lot of muggles across the road but stairman1 managed to grab the container without drawing any attention to himself. Signed the log then headed. Read the plaques on the way back to the car. Thanks Travelling Sister.
Goldielover and I found the cache all safe and sound. What a nice spot this is.

Managed to find on memory of location alone, after replacing a nearby cache. First Australian cache of the year. The cache and contents were in good condition.

Wow, muggle central. Nice spot and good size cache for dropping my TB racer. TFTC
The second cache I found on an evening jog around the neighbourhood. Had just enough dusk light to find it. Loved the little log book inside! TFTC
When I was growing up this school was called Corpus Christi, to me being nostalgic, I prefer Corpus Christi, but then I still call Suncorp Stadiun, Lane park and ANZ stadium will always be the QE2.
It is nice to see this area being revitalised since the last time I was here. The cache was found easily and the log book signed.

This was our Christmas Day cache, stopped by to collect it after a fantastic Xmas day with family and friends.
Cache was easy to find, all good with the log inside.
Thanks for the cache Travelling Sister.
