Went to check Geocache today to find that it is indeed missing. It will be replaced as soon as possible.
Tried to find it this morning before work but it wasn't anywhere to be found. Will keep an eye on this one and try again soon.
No luck for me today.
Ran out of time and felt paranoid about the neighboring houses.
Maybe another day.
Thanks for the peaceful walk.
Nice spot for a cache.

After a visit to McDonald's (I am not proud of it, so let us never speak of it again!) I came to get this cache. The weather was fantastic and not too cold.
I enjoyed the bird song and the lovely scenery on the way to find this cache!
I arrived at GZ and wondered around for a while before making the find.
Thanks for the lovely little adventure and journey into another one of the hidden gem parks in Brisbane.

3rd time lucky. Grrrr so easy, how did I miss this?? Thanks to PirateLinda and something she told me. Last of the caches within walking distance of home! Great to have finished this set.
First timers - had a great time - well done to my 12 yr old finding it before us!!
First find. Took a wrong turn but a very friendly neighbour gave us a little advice. Kids love the hunt . Looking forward to more.
First find. Kids had a great time looking for it. Be aware of lots of mosquitoes in this area.
X completes our Alphabet challenge today. What a great path and park. Thanks for bringing us here. Found at 2.55 pm on 25th Feb 2015. TFTC.
I wasn't looking at it from quite the right angle, so I didn't see it even when boonimajneB suggested where it might be. Then I took a few steps and looked again and BING there it was! TFTC.
Good cache. Love the little forest walk to find it.
My companion, rustyson was on the correct side, almost able to see it but was having a bit of trouble because he wasn't looking at it at the right angle.
Careful that the pressure does not pop the cap open when you place it back.

Walked straight past and took very long journey back, looking for a bridge. Eventually spotted cache in obvious spot. Not sure it will survive too well as it seems the hide causes the lid to be jammed open. 1 for T technically means a wheelie can grab it. Still, all seemed in good nick today so TFTC.
Easy find on a lovely walk through this parkland back to our accommodation. Saw a couple of bearded dragons along the way and that night a beautiful owl. Thanks for sharing your cache.
Really satisfying find, took us a while but followed the gps within 1 meter and it helped heaps nice work
I found myself in the local University this morning, and finishing a little early meant i had some time for a few quick finds. This one was on the way to a puzzle cache from a series in the area, so I picked it up on my way through. Lots of work in the area recently upgrading the paths and grassy edges. Will look really good when it has all taken. The works do not effect the hide in anyway, and once at GZ the find was made quickly. Log signed and returned before muggles came walking past. Thanks The Big Macs!
Picking up the geocache today for a little maintenance. Should be back up a little later today!
We were about to give up when we accidentally found it! GPS was going crazy due to rain and trees. TFTC
Found it with a couple of friends today! One of them was just hitting the place it was hidden in, with a stick and the other was all "What are you doing?" She looked up and shouted because we had already spent half an hour looking for it!
It's more obvious than you think XD

No luck for us today. GPS was jumping and we were sure we found the spot but poked around and missed it this time. Thanks for the walk though.
Was in this side of town, so geoson and I took a little walk along here
The cache was found easy, although the state of teh container made it difficult to get.
This need a bit of TLC (see NM log).
This is a great little area, thanks

Do'h - some bloke rebuilding his fence directly opposite. couldn't stop to look, will need to come back.
Quick find - though after the basket ball cache not far from here, not quite where I was expecting it to be
Container looking a little battered - lid fell off when I opened it. TFTC

This is a nice location. I haven't been here before and really enjoyed the scenery. I started looking for something different before I realised just what form the cache was. Thank you The Big Mac's this was a fun outing.
Were searching around in logs and hollow trees until friendly neighbour came and spoiled our fun. Glad she did though as we may not have found it otherwise.
Out with geo dog, this cache was out of his reach, thanks for showing me another beautiful pocket of bush with turtles and gorgeous ancient trees, no one would know except locals and caches, well done TFTC
Found it on our way back from doing 2 of the Mimosa series caches. Gee being in this area is a trip down memory lane for me. I attended the local primary school and the guides and did many walks in this remnant bushland. A very pretty area indeed, but there certainly wasn't a tarmac path when I was here in the 70's and 80's. Thanks for bringing me back here!
Nice easy find while doing another series. TFTC it was a pleasure in an afternoon of caching.
So many Muggles the first time. Left and came back and knew where it would be straight away. More obvious than I first thought.
First cache ever for Tashbo! More to come!

Found it needs a new log though, we took up the last spot. Awesome cache though, but looking a bit beaten up and sad
Awesome cache! First unexpected hide spot that we've found! And no neighbour muggle was around this time ..
Casual stroll down the path and there it was out with lisylou and misssusan79
Spent a while hunting for the cache in the wrong place. Eventually found it sitting on the ground in the open. It looked like it had been stomped on, it was crushed and was unable to remove the log to sign. Grabbed a discarded brick and a nearby tree stump and bashed it back into reasonable shape and extracted the log. Replaced the cache where it appears it should be.
Found the cache and the neighbour that directed us to it. Cant be reached by wheelies.
Description a bit misleading. Tftc.

Awesome cache! What a great place to hide this little container. Beware of the muggle who lives near by. Apparently we made her dogs bark, however she will tell you where the cache is so we can find it and get on our way to stop her dogs from barking. (I never heard the dogs) TFTC great find, even if I was directed to it by a muggle lol.
Nice little ride to the cache and had it in hand pretty much straight away. TFTC.
Easy find. Found container on ground in the open....Placed cache container in position where people in wheelchairs can reach it as per T1 rating. Great little cache. Many thanks. Log book only has 7 places left on it!
We were at Garden City today to have a look around. We stopped at this Cache on the way home and were quite surprised that we managed to find the car park on our first attempt. After a short walk and passing a couple on the near by park bench we arrived at GZ. The muggles on the seat were far enough away to let us to have a decent look for the hide. We found it not where we would have first thought.
Out and about with Brother Colin
After a refuel at Maccas, we headed down the lane to this one, then took a short walk to GZ. A lady was sitting on a nearby bench throwing a ball for her dog, but we were far enough away to not catch her eye. BC made the quick find, but then the lady wandered up and asked what we were doing! The simple answer was the easiest and we told her about geocaching. Anoither convert, maybe? TFTC, The Big Mac's.

Out and about today with IolantheK. .
After some lunch we made our way to this one. A casual walk along the path. Much easier than our first option.
Thanks for the cache.

Out with Ms Maddy on a rainy night.. we seem to do that a lot.. and this cache was next for us. One I've been looking at for a while. Having had wet weather, the cache name made me wonder, but as it turned out, aside from a bunch of puddles en route (and of course, the full blown hippies on the bench) all was fine. At GZ the GPSr settled and Ms Maddy started looking over 'there' while I found the cache 'here'. All good inside, but that T1 doesn't seem right being so high up. All the same replaced as found and enjoyed the area as we walked back out. TFTC The Big Mac's
A spot of midnight caching with Captain Terror and as our feet were already wet, we crossed the creek without much trouble... squelch squelch squelch.
Funny what you see in the middle of the night? A couple of hippy refugees from the 60's complete with floppy mustaches and striped trousers on a park bench near the bridge. Now that's just plain weird.
Resigned to another poke around in the soggy scrub, I was relieved when my cacher buddy found the cache high and dry
Not sure it would be accessible to someone in a wheelchair unless they had a friend along to help.
Lovely stroll in the damp evening (or early morning) air. It seems to be a habit of mine lately, these midnight jaunts
TFTC The Big Macs!

Got this while with The Hunting Rabbit. Easy find. This can be accessed by wheelchair to GZ but a wheelchair bound person probably isn't going to be able to grab it.

A nice quick find as the rain persisted this afternoon... I found the way in no problem and wandered down the path to find the container after a short hunt. I missed the obvious on the way in...
I removed the container, extracted the log and etched my name. All done, I tucked it away and headed back... [^]
Can I suggest a tweak in the terrain rating for this one. A T1 suggests that a wheelchair bound person can extract the container. I would say that is not the case for this one...
Cheers Big Macs.
