I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the geocache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the geocache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date.Jingeri
Based on a search and looking at the spoiler photos I'm positive that this cache is no longer in place.
Not sure if cache is still around. Some people have apparently only found the lid, but not the cache
Couldnt find it but maybe we find the wood lid that supposed to close the cache as we can see on the photos Louise&Virginie
I was just at GZ trying to figure out where I should start looking when a car came by, stopping to chat about the plants here. It was a local resident I think and they thought I was eyeing off the plants to take some home as they gave me permission to take some. I declined due to having a day on my feet so couldn't carry any. Haha. They turned around to come back and park here so I figured it was time to go. Next time hopefully I'll make the find.
Greetings from Wales. The final leg of our Australian trip has brought us to Brisbane for a couple of days so today we took a lovely walk from our hotel across the river to South Bank, around to and across the Storey Bridge and back via the Botanical Gardens. A great introduction to the city.A fairly quick find once I worked out how to get to GZ. Thanks for the cache.
Brisbane Day 2: On The Other Side of the RiverTodays schedule was jammed packed with things to do, and of particular interest were the caches in South Brisbane, and U of QLD at Saint Lucia (which I learnt was pronounced as Lu-chee-ia and not Lu-see-ia) on the ferry. It was also river cruise day, making maximum use of the 50 cent fare trial period, and hopping on and off at all the various stops on the Central Brisbane area. Ended off the day at Kangaroo Point, and crossed the Story Bridge back into the CBF to end the day. Walked 37.5k steps today over 26.5 km, making for a very crazy day of geocaching. Thanks for all the caches across Brisbane - they all made my day in some way or another. This is the specific log for this cache: Tricky little hide here given the nature of the area, which is really quite messy. But, the previous logs have away what I needed to focus on, and after quite a bit of pacing up and down, and finally see what I am looking for, and indeed, I could log myself in here. Another one of these Mary McKillops done she really goes places, doesnt she? TFTC!
Up in Brisbane for Magic Round (and of course caching!)- bit of touring around to different parts of the city.TFTC!
With a large car parked at GZ, I initially thought that I had no chance here. Like others before me I made use of spoiler photos to speed up my search and happily could just reach the neat container. TFTC!
Lucky it was right in the space between parked cars! Previous pictures & hints definitely helped us find it TFTC
I was quite wet by the time I got to this cache but at least the rain had let up a bit. It was a quick find, though, which I deeply appreciated. I was ready to get to my hotel. Thank you for the smiley and the fun!The day:I was visiting from the U.S. and had a goal of driving all the way up the east coast starting in Melbourne and ending in Port Douglas over a few weeks. This day started in Byron Bay and ended in Brisbane. The distance was doable and I didn't load my list with caches. It was a good day. Many thanks to all the geocachers who placed and continue to maintain their geocaches for folks like me to find. I know it's not always easy, but I do appreciate you.
tftc! such a good hiding place, but some of the plant overgrowth made it hard to get to. otherwise great cache!
Thats how geocaching should be . Very nice one . Found on our holidays in Brissi.
Wow the drive to get down to this one to begin with!!! Once at gz we started our search. Looked in a couple of spots before, bingo that's the cache. Nice Camo on this one.We are visiting from nz.Thank you Travelling Sister for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 5061
Found with RyeFun my companion in Brisbane for a conference. Out for an early morning walk an after passing over a few times found. Thank you
Took a while but we found it. Probably looked like I was trying to let a car's tyre down. Lots of fun!
While there was some time to wait for the ferry, I snatched this one. Thank you for marking the spot! Sneaky hide, I only found with all the spoiler photos!TFTC!
Found thanks to a clue in a previous log. As said the log needs maintenance. It's all wet, impossible to sign. I didn't have any piece of paper to replace it. Photo serves as proof TFTC
Thanks for the cache but log is in desperate need of replacing, too saturated to even open, but still an enjoyable find. Views were good and music emanating from across the river provided a nice atmosphere for the sunset.
Parked up the top and then walked down the stairs, past the repelling/abseiling people, taking in the views across the river on this crystal clear night. We had the area around GZ to ourselves which allowed us to hunt in detail undetected. Thanks to previous images we knew exactly what we were looking for so it was just a matter of methodically checking through all the greenery to find it. Unfortunately it is a little worse for wear, with the lid no longer attached but I have placed it on top as best I can to protect the inside which was quite wet. We said hi to a resident possum enjoying a meal on the wall on our way back to the car. Thanks Travelling Sister
Very sneaky and fun. The clues are the only reason we found this.(Ps there are 2 parts of Josephs school)GLTFTC
Found after viewing a spoiler photo from another log. Log is very wet! TFTC!
Zum zweiten Mal in Australien, und mein tolles Hobby gibt mir die Mglichkeit, dieses unglaublich relaxte, angenehme und schne Land von allen Seiten kennenzulernen. So konnte ich auch hier vorbeikommen und ganz nebenbei noch eine sehr schne Dose finden. Vielen Dank frs Legen und Pflegen!
Travelling Sister I found your cache Mary MacKillop - Kangaroo Point on 12/12/2023, 5:55pm. This is my find 6284 and find # 13 today. A quick and easy drive by. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Really cool container only completely overrun by termites. But even because of this I could still get the notes out and it was quite fun.
Found! Tried this one a year or so ago and ran out of time. But this is a cool hide. Well done. TFTC
Bonjour from France Nice camo We put a new logbook in a little plastic bag so everyone could continue to enjoy this one. Happy geocaching.778780 were here. Tftc
Im Team gesucht und gefunden.Danke fr den schnen Spaziergang und natrlich Danke frs Austfteln, frs Herlocken und Zeigen sagt Mel_on_Tour?**TFTC**?(?????)(?????)?( , , )( , , ).?.?.. ..-? ** **`*..?? .?
Auch heute haben mich Mama und Papa wieder mitgeschleift, um ein bisschen frische Luft zu schnappen und das Tagesdschen zu finden. Inzwischen trauen die mir ja ganz schn weite Wege zu, ich muss schon sagen... Macht mir aber ja genauso viel Spa wie denen, gebe ich ja gerne zu. Und man entdeckt immer wieder etwas Neues, selbst wenn man wie wir oft auf den gleichen Strecken unterwegs ist. In diesen Tagen ist aber alles neu. Australien ber Singapur und Malaysia, da war ich noch nie. Hier mussten wir gar nicht lange suchen, bis wir das Versteck gefunden hatten.Danke frs Austfteln, Verstecken, Herlocken und Pflegen des Caches!
Nach der anstrengenden Anreise mussten wir uns natrlich erstmal ein bisschen die Beine vertreten und haben auch gleich ein bisschen die Umgebung erkundet. Da passte es ganz gut, dass dieser schne Park gleich um die Ecke unserer Unterkunft liegt. Selbst um diese Uhrzeit war hier schon ganz schn was los, daran werden wir uns erstmal gewhnen mssen. Die schne Dose war jedenfalls schnell entdeckt.Danke fr's Austfteln, Herlocken, Verstecken und Pflegen !....../ ).....' /---' (_____.TFTC . ((__)..... _ ((___)....... -'((__)--.___((_)
Found this one eventually, I kept focusing somewhere else. After reading some logs I had a lightbulb moment and found it almost straight away.

It was a warm sunny night but after a bit of looking weird finally found something that looked suspicious. Cool hide! Tftc:)
This was my first hunt! Lots of fun. Nicely hidden container. My maps was confused as to the location but after a hint around I was successful!
