This one becomes under the flood line level every time it rains so I won't be fixing it, no logs will be accepted from here on in. The cache has been removed. Thanks.
found remnants of a log, a piece of paper with a log entry on it by beachbub23 and whint and iolanthek logged on the 20/5/16.guess it needs some TLC
Goldielover and I could not locate this one. We had our torches going flat out but no luck. After about 30 minutes we finally gave up.
Today I joined Whint and IolantheK on an adventure around this area.
We found this one pretty quickly, but container was found separate to the lid with quite a bit of dirt in each. No log book to be found, but there was some paper nearby that we were able to use. TFTC

Found with IolantheK & BB23. Cache has been removed from it's hiding place... both lid and container were there but were not attached... baggie was there too but log is gone. There was some other paper on the ground (pretty sure that wasn't the log) so we signed that as a makeshift log until CO can fix properly.

Whint put out a call for some company today, and beach.bub23 and I were only too happy to oblige We took a walk around Karawatha Forest this morning, and decided to 'clean up' around Browns Plains after lunch.
A read of the Description put us in the right spot, but we found the cache in pieces and no sigh of a log book. Everything was pretty dirty as well. We cleaned us as best we could, and added a sheet of paper we found nearby so all is okay. TFTC, fobiddenground.

TFTC, great spot and good description, found it straight away. Signed and returned.
A change in circumstances meant I was free for Saturday night. A couple of phone calls, and Swellerfungus and SeffnJarah were keen for a night time caching adventure, as always.
A short walk across the field after getting slim and Fungus soon had this cache in his hand.
Many thanks, forbiddenground

After completing a skinny one nearby, we couldn't let this one slip by. As SNJ had already found it - he left it to CrookedPete and I to find it. Without too much trouble we had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache
I loved this spot so much I stayed for a snack. Very unique hide, nearly fooled me - deserves a FP. TFTC
I park in Twilight Court, walk in the pathway between houses to the firebreak. The firebreak is mowed but it appears the cache seems to be in the jungle. I know the cache is called "a little bit of jungle" but the path I am taking is a whole lot of jungle. Perhaps there is another way.
I park outside Regents Park Soccer Club. A footpath into Hyde Park. This looks promising. I take a lovely stroll and turn in. Where is the cache? I look, I look again, I look some more. Nothing. Nada. I read the previous comments. Didn't I look there already? Apparently I didn't look hard enough. There it is! A nice new cache. Thank you for bringing me here.

I dropped in to check on the log and ended up replacing the whole lot. Happy caching.
I was positive I was in the right place. Just had to persist and then I found it. TFTC!
Started to wonder if it was where I was looking,had to dig deep and replaced not quite so deep .TFTC.
Last time I was here it was a bit busy around GZ. Not a soul in sight anywhere today.
I had a bit of a hunt for this one. It is well hidden

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:40pm. The cache was found quite quickly and it's in good condition. TFTC
That cache was hidden deep in and that s why i wouldnt find it at first place and i looked at other different areas and couldnt find it so i got feeling so i went back and got stick and dig it out and found it tricky and cheeky place. TFTC
Found after scratching around in the wrong area, had the cache guardian watching me also, TFTC
What a pleasant spot. Had I taken a thermos and morning tea I'd have lingered longer. Well hidden but found without too much trouble. Thank you.
Wandering the paths this morning after school drop off, I swear I didn't see another human being for nearly an hour! So peaceful! Followed the track down towards the creek and there were lots of suitable places to explore before I got lucky. Some majestic ghost gums in this area. TFTC
TFTC. #294. Found in a good hiding spot. Not attached to anything anymore. Placed back how it was found.
Found. The attachment has come loose. Couldnt work out where it was attached. Otherwise all good.
All duties done, moving on. Ajso inked over "blackleg's" name so it may last like the rest.
Has to do a second pass on this one due to heavy bike traffic but quick in and quick out. TFTC
Captain Terror and I were out grabbing a stack of caches all within 15 minutes or so of his house. We have been caching further from home recently and have been neglecting the area a little bit so there was a great range to choose from and we were able to be picky and only grab caches with attractive D/T ratings.
We had parked the car and as we got out I received a phone call. I was in a polite mood so instead of telling the telstra man to go away I let him tell me about all the wonderful deals I could be on before telling him to go away. As this was happening the Captain had led me towards GZ and found the cache. I hung up as he signed our names and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache forbiddenground.

Net88 and I had declared three geocaches along this path to be of interest to us late this afternoon and so parked in the middle and made our way to this one. It ois quite the popular spot as a few cyclists and dog walkers shared the path with us. The GPSr counted down and after a hard right turn, headed down the track towards the quiet creek. I looked about and quickly spotted the container. the tether has let go and as Net highlighted, it looks as if someone has 'siphoned their python' on the hide in the near past. The geocache had been spared so I carefully did what needed to be done and got our names on the logbook. A nice quick one for the day. TFTC forbiddenground
Found on our ride around the area -a bit of a geo trail led us to it .

A bit more off the beaten track than the previous caches completed along the trail but the cache was turned up after a short hunt. Tftc.
As I rounded the second last corner before GZ I had my phone in one hand. I looked up and there was a large group of about 10 oldies in the middle of the path talking. Now normally I would happily hit the grass and go around them but it all happened so quick. One of the men said "watch out a bikes coming". So they all divided and I past between them nodding and saying thankyou, but theres always one, even at there age. Another bloke eyeballed me the whole way past and said "geez, scared of the grass are we". If he had have been 30 odd years younger I probably would have said something back but he can have this one. Sorry for the inconvenience Mr Wilson.
Annyway, luckily GZ was out of their view and I soon found the track heading down to the creek. Saw the hide but couldn't see anything. So I looked around a bit more then decided to have a closer look. Gotcha you sneaky little devil. Log signed and replaced.
Thanks again FG

1.20pm. Second attempt for me. The other time I would have had a FTF but couldn't find it. Not too long today before it appeared.
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
today beautiful cool and Little rain .. great good walk al the way find few caches.... thank Forbiggenground
We wondered if A Little Bit of Jungle had claimed Noo82, we couldn't work out what she was doing with a stick but this cache had well and truly gone adventuring. With some persistent scratching she had the cache and replaced as intended. TFTC forbiddenground.
Out with the bennyboppers today for a walk. We decided to grab these ones along the trail. We parked nearby and this was our first find. Mrs bennyboppers found this one quickly and easily. Tftc.
Final cache in Regent's Park/Browns Plains for the day. There sure is a little bit of jungle around here and after finding a few of the CO's caches we were thankful we didn't have to do much bush bashing. The hint narrowed down the search but only after a little digging around did we come up with the goods. It finally came out the other side. TFTC Forbiddenground
Good hide! We did this one at 10pm at night. The clue gave it away for us, thankyou.
In Browns Plains for business so thought I would get a few while I am in the area. Saw this little "power trail" and went for it. Aussie jungle that is. A bit cautious about putting my hand there, but only came away with a cache so all good. Tftc
This one was not to be today. I found a good parking spot and headed towards GZ. I could see some workmen looking at the drains, but they were over 100m away form GZ. Unfortunately their work mates were not.
Way to much going on within 50m of GZ. I'll be back

Found @8:22:00 AM.
Out on the bike trail before the heat gets unbearable. An easy find.
Thanks to forbiddenground for the cache

A nice easy run today of about 20 finds. Good day out with kids, and also had Riley, my 2yo with me too. Some great hides included in the mix. Appologies for the late logs, I have not been well of late, and am catching up.

I was about to give up on this one, but one last look prooved to be the thing, and the rest was history. TFTC.

Such a nice little area here, to bad the creek is not running just a little more. A little bit of a search around a couple of wrong spots, before I connected where I actually needed to look. A nice find and got the log signed and moving on again.

I attempted this one some months ago and the cache was missing... In the area today to visit a friend and seeing that this cache was up and running I decided to take a small detour and grab it. Easy find, cache on good condition but not tethered. Not sure if you want to check it out again forbidden ground?
Lovely spot, freshly mowed. I love that smell! TFTC!

With (at least as far as my calculations go….) the next such date being 01-02-03 (2103 that is!!), I couldn't let today go by without logging at least one find
Arrived at GZ late in the afternoon so all clear from passing muggles. Thanks to the hint this was a quick and easy find. All good with the container and log.

Took a few minutes to find this one. Turns out it was where i should have paid more attention to in the first place! Ain't it always the way Log signed and off to the next. TFTC
Apart from one walking muggle, it was nice and quiet in the area this afternoon. Turns out I would follow this muggle for the next three caches...
I disappeared into GZ and spotted the cache in its lair. I didn't see the tether and the cache was no secured in its den, so I sorted removed it for business and tucked it back a little deeper, with some cover added for good measure... [^]
All done, I wandered back to the car and headed to the next...
Cheers forbiddenground.

This one took me a bit longer. I think that the tethering, as Ms Maddy calls it, may need some attention.
I'd love to see this creek flowing in flood times. Thanks again forbidden ground.

Hmm... Why don't some cachers put things back as found?!! How hard would that be.
The cache was easy to locate and it was only as I was replacing it that the tether was spotted. I attached it as best I could.
On we rolled on weary pegs...

Ms Maddy spotted this one straight away. Thankfully it was still in situ bearing in mind the recent storms. Retethered to make sure it was safe - more storms are coming today. TFTC
Found while holidaying with friends. Walking the trail in the heat, easy find. TFTC
Found myself with some free time with the kids at school and Geo Wife overseas and I had spotted a nice bunch of caches around this area so I had nothing stopping me.
I decided to take the bike with me to hopefully save the old legs and time.
The GPS swung around on me and I thought my approach to this one would not be ideal but before I went in too far it swung again and I continued a bit further on clear level ground and found a much better way in.
I did a bit of twoing and froing before the brain kicked into gear and then I felt in the right spot and touched my prize.
YES!! Straight run of smilies so far, I was happy!!!
Nice tricky hide, thanks for testing me.
Thanks ForbiddenGround TFTC SL

This little area down here does have a jungle feel to it...shame about all the litter. I grabbed as much as I could carry and dropped it in the bin on the way out. Cache was located easily. TFTC.
I finished a little early today so I am out for a walk to find a few caches.
A bit of searching before I found this one.
Thanks for the cache.

I needed a find for the cache of the day and I was running out of time as I had stopped off to check on Uncle Bob and it was getting dark when I arrived for the search. Luckily Aussie Liahona had given me a cap with inbuilt headlamps earlier in the day and this turned out to be an opportune time to test it out.
I can recommend it to everyone. It worked great. I found the cache in the second place I looked. I think I could have used the cap during the day and it would have helped.
TFTC. Day 81.

Parked my car and headed off down the path in the right direction. A bit distracted by the heat and failed to see the magpie that swooped down trying to take my eye out. Lucky I had a hat and sunglasses on which offered some protection. Thanks for the cache.
Found - Soon detected this on with the flashing point on the GEOGPS. Managed to be muggle free.
Spent about twenty minutes here, but no luck. Checked description and logs several times. Oh well, on to the next one in the series.
