Hi Animal Lover333,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Did not find

Looked everywhere.

Cache is definitely not where the kids and I found it six years ago. What was nearby was a couple of discarded beer bottles (now removed.)

This one needs attention.

No luck here. Checked all over GZ and even expanded my search area. Seems like it’s missing.

No luck for me either. After spending a good 30 minutes looking up tree skirts, I gave up. Pretty area though

No luck

Apparently there is some souvenir thing.. so I thought I had better grab a cache to qualify for it.

Thankfully, 1MinnieMoo knew of one nearby so we hotfooted toward GZ. Up the hill and across toward where the smartphone was pointing. At first, it didn't look too great - but then we spotted an obvious hide.

We signed the log and re-hid the cache as found. A nice little place to go for a walk. TFTC Animal Lover333

All nice and dry now. Did a swap. There is an Area Closed sign nearby, but not quite sure which area they mesn.

Quick find. Log box is cracked and very wet.

Literally had to pour water out....so, left it upside down & with log exposed but still hidden, so has a chance to dry....my 500th find

Found it! A lovely walk through the bush land. Thanks for the cache!

After finding another nearby cache I headed up to convert this one to a smiley. This is a nice area of bush in the suburbs to take a walk and it wasn’t long before I was at GZ and had the cache in hand.
TFTC

Needs repairing

A little wet could not fill in log. Nice park.

Container has a hole and log to wet to write on- tftc

Took us longer than expected. Bring a new container along if you read this before arriving. See attached photo

Quick and easy find

After starting at the southern end of the reserve, we had jumped over a couple of puddles, climbed the hill and reached as far as we were willing to walk in the rain without water. Even though we could have cupped our hands and got a refreshing drink of rain, our mitts were filthy from fondling caches and each other.

A quick trot off the trail and I spied a suspicious line of congruous sticks that needed some investigating. Unfortunately the hole in the lid of the cache has taken its toll and the log was smoosh but we stamped it anyway. TNLNSP. tftc

TFTC. Signed the soggy log.

Found the catch with things to trade. The box was small and needs repair. Bring a page for the log book.
We found the treasure under trees with no leaves.

Found it with the family.

Nice walk through the bush

We are staying with Mrs KEs brother and his family just below gz. The afternoon had cooled enough to get a walk in just before sun set. A quick find but log book is soaked due to the lid having a large hole in it. Left container upside down to see if that helps it dry out.
Thanks Animal Lover333 for the cache.

Found it but as previously stated very wet and unable to sign

Out on a lovely walk with a buddy and found this little fella. Definitely needs attention - massive hole in lid and Bush cockroaches have moved inside. Log 100% wet, tried to sign but it started ripping apart. Hope it gets fixed up, ‘cause it’s such a nice trail to visit

Sorted

Found it!

Hint was a help and not a help. Tftc
Lid of cache is badly damaged has a big hole in the top. We were going to leave a TB but thought wiser due to damage.
Nice placement of cache

In the last place I looked. As previous cachers have noted, the hinted helped but it didn't really help either. Left 2 TBs. TFTC.

Out for a wander after my night shift. I have been in here once before, but that was a few years ago. I think my bike was with me and I did not want to leave it unattended for too long. Any way I did not get over to this side of the park.

I did a nice big loop around today and collected four smileys, each one a different cache type too.

A lucky quick find here.

No trade was a good find

Quick easy find

Thanks:)

Found it when i didnt know there was a app for it hahah it was cool and hidden many goodies and notes were left have gone there probs 5 or 6 times to see updates

The in=car navigation system wanted me to take a long stroll to get to this cache but I remembered from a previous visit a few years ago that there was a closer access point but it took me about 10 minutes to drive around to that spot.

It still left me a bit of a stroll down and up the hills to get there and the sun was getting hot in the middle of the day.

Finally I arrived for a quick find.

TFTC Animal Lover333

had some time to spare so stopped to grab a nearby cache only to see that it has a string of DFNs. So decided to head for this one instead. I wasn't parked in the best place and I was totally inappropriately dressed for GCing, but off I headed up and down the powerline trail in my sandals. Certainly wasn't the easiest of walks (sneakers wound have helped a lot).
Arrived at GZ and made for an easy find. Thanks Animal Lover 333.

Found with geohound

Visiting the area for the first time as a girlfriend just move to her new home. Great walking tracks. Only explaining about caching and pointed out that's a prefect place for a cache and what a nice surprise. TFTC

Pretty sure we probably went the long way for this cache but had a lovely bushwalk to find it. Haven't been here before so thanks for bringing us

TFTC
HINT IS A BIT MISLEADING
WE HUFFED AND PUFFED UP THE HILL TO GET TO THIS CACHE
LOVIN EXPLORING NEW PLACES

Found it. Didnt bring pen so didnt write in notebook

Nice easy find while taking the pooches out for a walk. TFTC!

Great conceal, fun to find. No pencil or pen in cache. Thank you.

Well hidden, lovely view to join it.

Meh

1977 - I parked the geo mobile in Roebig Street and walked along the path near the fence on this warm and beautifully moonlit night. It was so bright that there was no need for a torch until I reached the search area. When I got to the search zone I didn't pay enough attention to the hint and convinced myself it would be somewhere where it wasn't. After a few minutes I spotted the hiding place and soon had my name in the log book at 7:14pm. Thanks for the cache Animal Lover333, the cache is still in good condition.

Found it. Well hidden. Tftc

I have previously had a DNF on this cache - how I have no idea because it was a pretty easy find this time! TFTC

This one was a little trickier but lots of fun finding it.

Found what a great place.

Lovely afternoon family adventure through the reserve.

Love this area. Can't believe it is in the middle of suburbia. Love the hint. Cache found in good order. Took TB & dropped off one. TFTC

great adventure in a great area! TFTC

Jen found it. A classic hide. Easy tracks behind tje houses with entries everywhere. Wear shoes though, unlike Jen.

Out for a Saturday afternoon stroll and decided to pick up a couple of geocaches with our friends from up North. This was another quick find. TFTC

This reserve is familiar, but we've never entered via this way before. The paths are wide, well kept and easy to follow making for a good walk. Today a certain other planetary target was in my sights, but I made sure to stop by this one on the way through [^].

After a brief search at the obvious structure, I read the hint and cast my eye further afield. Easy find, log signed, grabbed the micro geocoin. TFTC

Lovely spot! Hot walk tho.

After Afue Min of searching it caught my eye. Tftc

No pencil

Took a couple minutes, but eventually caught the eye

Nice hiding spot

Tftc

Thanks for the cache in a lovely part of the bush.

I spent about 10 minutes here looking in the obvious places. I then read the hint and decided I would have to look more carefully elsewhere...then I spotted something slightly out of place, just as previous finder stated that only a cacher would see. Bingo! TFTC Animal Lover333.

A slight detour on the way home from a series of doctors visits, not far away. A short stroll through the bush to GZ with RoninPirate. Once there, I spotted something that only a cacher would notice, Sure enough, there was the cache. After signing the log, wee rehid it as found and then headed home

We had a lovely walk through the forest this morning, the wattle and banksia flowers are out and the birds were singing all around us. I hadn't been on this trail before, so it was a nice new experience. It didn't take us long to find the cache, our last one for the day. All is good at GZ, container in good condition and log dry. TFTC Animal Lover333

It's there! Queens Birthday today.

I get the feeling it's been moved or swept away in recent rainfall. Or perhaps I missed it completely.

A great find with 1MM and 1MMjr. we loved the surprise we found. Thanks for a great first geocache.

This was my first find with my mum(1MinnieMoo), with uncle Phil (EngPhil) showing us the ropes. It was a nice find and well hidden being my first find we didn't exactly know what we were looking for but eventually found it. TFTC

Thanks, loved the little surprise we found - and it was our first find as we are newbies!

TFTC Animal Lover333

Was traveling past here going from cache to cache and happen to spot a couple of gents in a clearly cache-like hunt. I introduced myself and we successfully hunted together. They said they were casual cachers, so they won't be logging the find. Nevertheless, the cache is safely in its new location.

I needed a cache after work today, and I remembered an access point that would make this one moderately convenient for someone in a work outfit at twilight, so off I went. The area is a lot less lush than my previous visits here, despite the rain, but I was actually grateful as it made finding the cache a breeze. One hiccoughing kookaburra kept me company but happily, no joggers until after I'd found, signed and replaced the cache. TFTC, Animal Lover333. =^.^=

Area is open once again!

Note, council has temporarily closed all access to GZ after last week's megastorm.....

Used previous logs and photo to find. First ever! Thanks all

We also used teamtindad's log to help us find it.

Used the previous comment for clues since I couldn't find this cache using my phone gps. Pretty charred area, how did this fella survive?! Left a Mickey Mouse keyring that I thought was as TB that I found in another cache, haha. tftc!

I wiggled my way through the maze to find the nearest gate. Lots of signs of the burnoff around here: I think I would have been a rather anxious neighbour while it happened!
A short time later I was at GZ and after a very brief glance around, noticed what appears to be a tree that has been chopped down quite recently on the ground. Following it along, I found the cache completely exposed in the open, though it was completely OK inside and out.
I saw some suspicious looking branches nearby, so reconstructed a hide. TFTC in a nice area.

Group find. Well found team

Forgot to say. Survived the fire

This cache may be at risk from the planned controlled burning. TFTC

TFTC! Seen a cute wallaby

TNLNSL. TFTC!

Sat down to appear "normal" while some muggles passed and with a quick glimpse behind me spotted the cache.

Took little flower and left 2 bowling pins

TFTC

Found it after a run. Pencil is broken so bring your own.

Dnf

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 8:47am. Parked nearby and made the short in to GZ. The cache was found after a few minutes and was not where we thought it might have been. TFTC

Really enjoyed my walk today - it is a fun circuit. Not too hot today but got really sweaty. TFTH

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Last time we DNF'd this one, but today the search was a lot quicker, but still took a bit of searching. I'm not sure why,but at this spot my GPS really walks around a lot under the trees. Eventually I spotted a tell-tale sign letting me know that there was a cache hidden. Yep, there it is!

TFTC Animal Lover 333.

Sucks balls!!!!!!!

TNLN. TFTC!

Found at 0834. A nice quick find in the bush. TFTC.

Find #1090 at 11:40 with MissGeosie after a lovely (if somewhat warm) walk through the Chermside Hills reserve.

Arriving at GZ I spied several possibilities but MissGeosie chose wisely and went straight to the cache!

Thanks for the cache, Animal Lover333. It's always a pleasure to visit this little patch of bushland.

We went for a little walk - big actually. We got very hot. We had snacks. We saw a wallaby. I found the cache all by myself! And then we went back home. Thank you for the cache!

Out for a Sunday morning Geocycle and rounded up this cache on the way home
