This cache has been destroyed too often even though well hidden so will archive it.
Looks like this one has been stolen. I found log sheets spread over the ground and no sight of a cache.
This cache has been muggled again, so will be disabled whilst I decide on the best option for it.
Out for the day with nikid1 to hopefully finish off the museum caches for our souvenir. I'm not really a fan of caches under bridges, luckily my geocaching buddy is much braver than me & soon had the cache in hand.

Took us a while but we finally found it... Just as we were about to call it
Log signed and cache returned to where we found it.
Thanks Goggles70

Spent ages looking for this. Checked the entire bridge out as this is the only metal in the area (since the cache is supposed to be magnetic) the GPS was erratic at best saying one second we were a few meters away and then that we were 98 metres away. Gave up when got tired of the GPS.
Wandering North from the previous cache, I found myself getting a little off track and in danger of wet feet, so I moved decisively to the right side of the creek and soon arrived at the bridge. Hmm, lots of options, but thankfully I got low and soon spotted something which didn’t belong, which I could easily grab without getting messy. TFTC where all is fine.
Looked the length of bridge and around the ends. No sign. Beware - lots of mozzies.
Approaching GZ we weren't sure if we would have to fly or crawl for this one. Not finding it where we could easily reach we widened our search just a bit and the shorty in our group found it just at the edge of our search area. We thankfully signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Cheers goggles70 for the cache and for adding to our enjoyment of our day out today.
Visiting the area today with geo friends and at first this eluded us until we widened our search a little. Eventually found in a nice dark spot, thanks goggles70
Found this one after a busy Morning. We parked nearby GZ and headed straight for the cache. Lucky no bush bashing today, as the cache was spotted on arrival to GZ . The nearby spider is a great cache guardian .Thanks for the cache googles70, enjoyed this one . TFTC!!!
Found it on the ground in the open (I don't think it's supposed to be there?). Container is intact and the log is dry. Signed and placed it where I thought it should've been, but the location might be a few metres off from the coords (my GPS is a bit wonky so only accurate to about 10m or so. Apologies to the next geocacher!) TFTC
Sorry. No smiley today. Light got the better of us.
TFTC anyway...goggles70

Well it was to be the last one for the day as it was growing dark.
I thought we would come find this one as it had just been replaced.
Arrived at GZ and walking over the footbridge looking down into the water, it was a sea of green.
It looked like you could walk on it only I know I would get very wet as there is water under that green.
I wandered around and soon spotted what I had come to find.
Signed the log and replaced where we had found it.
Thanks for replacing.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks goggles70 All good with this cache

A caching day starting mid-morning around the Redland Bay area with Joojoo57 and nikid1 to start with. Later we were joined by Nadine1989 and Mrs RoddyC and Patrol 14 after nikid1 had to leave us for kiddy duties. All up we managed to find thirteen caches before the predicted storm set in and sent us packing.
We got the lot this afternoon, dog walkers,joggers, bike riders and people just out for a stroll, but nothing was going to stop Patrol14 from finding this cache!
Log signed & replaced again. Found at 1.35pm on 11th August 2016. TFTC

Venturing to an area I have never been to before. Lots of lovely views as well as loads of caches to search for. Just as we found it a muggle bike rider rode past - why are all those people there!!!

On a caching afternoon with RoddyC, joojoo57 and Nadine1989, we parked nearby and wandered in to this one. All eyes searching until I found the cache in its hide. As we were about to sign the log, a cyclist went passed and I am sure they were wondering what were all these people doing here...
Logbook signed and had to wait for a mum with bub to pass before returning it to its hide.

Have now replaced this cache .Please be aware of Muggles as it has been muggled several times
Will be replacing this soon in a new place where it is less likely to be muggled (I hope)!!!
After finding a nearby cache, we headed to this one. Here, we made a quick find. On the way back to the car, we stopped to read the plaque not far from the bridge. I always love reading about the areas that I visit. We went to the bridge and tried to imagine crossing the creek, over a log, to get to school. Not something the young one is likely to do. TFTC
Our GPSr would not settle at all so Mr. Herbz used his caching sense and came up with the find. TFTC.
No pen so couldn't sign the log - I really need to start carrying a pen wherever I go. Thanks for this cache.
Found it awhile ago with Clan Beckett but did not log it electronically till now. Was an easy find and a good walk.
Nice easy find with the geo kids. Just up the road from Gran's house. Thanks for the cache.
Dutchie1950 and i attempted this quite some time ago without success, after reading the recent logs this was much easier. TFTC.
# 760 - Out with gcraider today on a caching adventure in the Redlands.
Happy to have turned this one into a smiley after we couldn't find it just over a year ago. We were plagued by rain and thunder and a temperamental GPS, but today the sun was shining. It didn't take gcraider long to spot this one.

Found this one while out walking around
I did not have a pen with me so I have included a photo to prove I found it, it is a medium size container and it does not have magnets and according to my phone is not at the GPS Co-Ords
Thanks, great spot

Dannza arrived at my place about midday. We both had the afternoon available with no real commitments. Lets go caching! Arrived at the site and enjoyed the stroll along the path. We spotted lots of turtles and a few cute ducks. Soon our compass was wanting us to go off line so we ventured towards a possible location. We had the cache in hand after a quick look. Cache is dry and in good condition. TFTC goggles70
After finding the twisty tree, we came back for a 2nd look and found it super quick. TFTC
Took some hunting ... boys took there Gran out for her first ever GeoCache .. and she was the one to find!! well done Gran!!
Arrived at footbridge, started raining, GPS uncooperative, sheltered, rain stopped, completed formalities...TFTC
