Little Rat - No More Burbank, Queensland, Australia
By TMRabbit on 01-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4R9YQ

TFTC great hide and just makes me smile. Love the effort put in to this

Last one for the day! TFTF

Over visiting from NZ for a month and today is our last full day. I needed a few more finds to crack 500 for the trip and set a new monthly record. This group of caches in the Burbank area looked like they would be ideal for an early morning wander, before the day reached the predicted 34 degrees .. First for the day ws this one with good FP's and what can I say, other than it gets a FP from me too. TFTC

What a funny cache! A lot of laughs had from this one today! TFTC with Carolynjoystar and Lacuna__

TFTC! A favourite from me. Master Splinter has seen better days!

Tftc. Ahaha. Yeaahh.

Very original..indeed, it had me fooled @ 1st TFTC!

Finding some last caches around Brisbane before I drive home. I just learnt not to mess with Mr Rabbit!! TFTC

Poor rat. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Its in good condition. Cant say the same for the rat

Very fun and creative cache

Quite a thematic find. Thanks for the cache and

For near on two years now, I have been dropping first son at his mates place around Wynnum on a Sunday afternoon. This is my little break for the week as I have three hours to explore the area and find some new caches. I am gradually widening my arc and this afternoon I spend two hours walking around the JC Trotter trails. There are plenty of caches in this bushland to find, and this afternoon I bagged 4.This was the first. A quick walk from the carpark and the cache was in the first place I looked. I gave a little poke to ensure it was the cache before retrieving. Log book and cache are all good here. A favourite point for the container. Thanks very much for placing this cache TMRabbit. Cheers

I am needing a J animal for a challenge cache and theres one in this area. Ive also been wanting to find this Big Bang Theory series of caches, so with hubby, we parked in a small area off Mt Cotton Rd and did a circuit walk over a couple of hours. Later we discovered a safer parking area on Cherbon St. We had 12 finds, all fairly easy, and one DNF. We enjoyed our walk in this lovely area. We actually saw a couple with their dogs here but luckily they walked down the track when we looked for this fun (?) cache which was spotted quickly. Logbook signed and replaced as found. All good here. Tftc

Cool cache, quick find.

Interesting cache, nice to get out for a walk.

I despise rats. So this was a very tough cache for me to complete. On finding the cache I kinda freaked out. Thankfully no one else was around. So calmed down signed the log and was on my way back home. TFTC

Cool

I headed out in the geo-car for a few caches today.Decided to hit a few around Capalaba.I found your cache, Little Rat - No More today. This is my 2344 find.Found this quickly but still poked it to make sure it wasnt real, lol,TMRabbit, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF and thanks for bringing me here.

Poor little guy! TFTC

Tftc

Neat container! Haven't seen one like this before, almost went running lol TFTC

Found it

Got such a kick out of this one. We took some great selfies to disgust our friends with
Fav point easily!

Easy peasy find tftc

Found! TFTC

Nice quick find. Thanx.

Found it

Cool hide.. kids loved it

cool

I had intended to ride through this bush land to collect all the Rats and any other stray in the general area but on arrival I noticed the NO BIKES signs at the entry. I don't know why as these fire trails would have been perfect to the ride. However there were council rangers at the car park so the bike stayed in the car today. That said I had an enjoyable 8 km round trip for the morning.

Hahahahahaha. So good!

Over 100 geo caches found and this was the best one yet. Thanks so much for placing.

Found with Jorien. TFTC

TFTC.

Found, thank you!

Today after attending the Van Gogh Alive exhibition, I decided to head out solo for some bushland walks around Capalaba. My first stop was J.C. Trotter Memorial Park and detouring past the various *Big Bang Theory* geocaches, and then I took a few more miscellaneous walks grabbing some of the oldie geocaches in the vicinity. After exhausting my water supply, I decided to finish off my afternoon with driveby geocaches and short walks, in particular, finding a few more of the *Saturday in the Park* (SITP) series.

In the end, walking around J.C. Trotter Memorial Park past the 17 geocaches on offer took about 2.5 hr with a mix of jogging and walking. There were a few other muggles about either jogging or walking their dogs, but I was largely solo during my trip. I am a fan of the *Big Bang Theory* TV show, so although the geocaches weren't physically themed, it was still a nice dedication series.

This was a target cache due to its high Favourite Points (FPs), with 76 FPs having accumulated at the time of my visit.
Although this would have been an easy walk from the east from the nearby car park, I stopped off here as I ventured around, passing the small shelter with a group gathered underneath. After stopping at GZ and having a short search, I managed to make a reasonably quick find of the cache. Very creative, and it certainly made me laugh! The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks TMRabbit for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. A Favourite Point from me!

Quick find but gave us a bit of a fright!
Will be back to finish the rest in this area.

Team R n' L first find!
What a little cutie

Great spot and great cache container. Thanks for placing this.

Nice cache, watch your fingers.

That was a little macabre perhaps but I found it humorous just the same. Cache in good order. TFTC

What a perfectly themed cache container this was and a great way to start our walk here. TFTC TMRabbit

Out with muggle daughter and Beanz for some exercise in the outdoor.

Nice find.

TFTCache TMRabbit

Found!!!
TFTC!

Off to Explore JC Trotter Park.

We didn’t expect to see this when we found the cache. Gross! Poor little rat.

Thanks For The Cache! #319

Out and about for the day clearing out this reserve. Loved this one! FP for the uniqueness of the cache itself! All is good here. TFTC.

Found it in a log, got really scared

Nice

Haha very nice ratty. Tftc

Good one!

What a cool cache!! Love it!

Watch ur fingers...

TFTC

The very first of a great day out at JC Trotter park. We’re so glad that you brought us out here because it’s just another great little Brisbane reserve that we’re lucky enough to have discovered because of caching.

A great fun cache that had the kids petrified to even pull it out.

TFTC

I wanted to share the photo of the rat, but I believe my picture would spoil it. Absolutely no one here, but 1 car.
Easy find. Last find of the day.
Absolutely brilliant cache, fp award of course.
Tftc

Found

Today I decided to take my bike here and find a few caches. I ended up finding 10 and rode 5km, walked a fair bit aswell in just 2 hours. This was my first cache and I got a surprise when I found it. Lol. Giving this one a FP FOR all the fun

Out for our sunday Caching session with BFG, racing Knucklehead to the end of the Caches.
Little girls party is no match for us, stealth as......Rats lol.
Cache quickly in hand signed and we are on our way.
TFTC

Great hide you dirty rat. Loved it!

Very enjoyable.
TFTC

Poor little fella. Thanks for the cache!!

This was an easy find because of good coordinates, but it scared the bejeebers out of me! TFTC

This was our first one for today. Very cute find. Haha

Love it. Ratty rat

Very clever! I second guessed putting my hand near it but worth it!
TFTC!

Absolutely love this cache. Tftc ️

Funny cache

Chamad was telling me the other day that he was wanting to try and do 50 caches in a day for the badge, so yesterday I asked if he was keen to go out and find them. We organised a time and place to start our run which was by Burbank. We wandered around a few reserves and then decided to head towards Springwood for a few Earth caches, mystery’s and trads.

All in all we had a great day out and we’re both completely exhausted.

Sorry for the generic post.

Find #750 - TFTC

Sorry generic part of the post.
What an awesome day or should that be exhausting! Out with geonayfee to try and complete 50 plus caches in a day. With this cache we completed it.
We completed 2 series and a few target caches, a few earth caches and a couple of puzzles…. Awesome day and a lot of driving and walking but the challenge was completed, thank you for being part of our challenge, next is 80 in a day 

a quick grab from the car park, an unexpected surprise lol thanks

Log is wet, but a nice easy find. Thank you

Tftc. It was an easy find but it did give us a surprise!

Great day out - a personal first

First find with the Rogers Clan. Happy caching! TFTC

Cute! TFTF

TFTC smile 5650 out and about with miss Millie geo dog on our way Southside to pick up a few oldies, caches that is, had a big day, picking up all the big bang series as well. Thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Out today with my Geocaching’s buddy Grannysmith1947. Our target again was one old cache and a animal cache for that animal alphabet challenge. Have two more to get. After that one it now leaves me one to get. Yippee .

But there is 17 caches in this park, I have to clear this park out. Found 16 one DNF, so not to bad I think.

Then Grannysmith1947 notice another old cache in the park next door. So we had to visit that old one to.

So two old caches today. And 4 yesterday
Plus two 2006 ones too

Sorry for the generic post

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC TMRabbit *354* streak. *2127* Finds

16/11/19 12:43 pm Find #2825
Having dragged ourselves out here on a seriously hot day to grab the Lakeside cache, because that’s what one does when the car temperature gauge says it’s 36° outside, we stopped on the return journey at the undercover area to splash some of the amazingly cool water from the tank on ourselves and take a break.
Once we had done that, we traipsed our rather overheated selves back towards the car, but this cache was just far too close to just ignore. Besides I could see it’s hide from where I was at the track, I was certain.
Leaving Fangsoki at the track to watch me at work, I headed over for a quick grab. Well that gave me a giggle. Thankfully my quick grab wasn’t quite at the level of the poor other soul here. It certainly made me wish it was a cooler day so we could look for the other caches here by this CO. But don’t worry I shall be back another, less hot day I am sure!
Thanks for the cache TMRabbit.

Got it on the way out rather than in as there was actually someone at their car (and asking me for fishing tips when there is nothing about me that would suggest I know anything on that topic).

I loved it, I’m all for a little novelty and this one was charming

I am recovering from hand surgery and can only write (poorly) on stable surfaces, so please accept this unicorn stamp in lieu of signing the log.

Tftc

Early morning bike ride to collect the caches here.
This log was quite wet, still managed to make some kind of mark

Thank you for this cache TMRabbit

Found with goldielover today. Have enjoyed our wandering around this park. Our last one for the area.
Another great cache
TFTC

Found with stairman1 and geopuppy. The last one for the day.TFTC

Gotcha! Lovey walk out in JC Trotted memorial park today. Tftc love this one

Out with the geohound today and this was my first stop. A quick find and a great cache! Urgh! TFTC!

Midday after arranging to meet ESCR to complete Makku Mob - Tingalpa we stopped for an ice cream which turned into 3pm lunch because Oddiewan looked at his stats and saw he only needed 20 to reach geocache find number 200. He found Trotter park on the map full of 18 hides— all with recent finds and logs with the likes of “quick find”. A plan was then hatched— neither of us had enough battery power to last the whole hunt so we made the plan to economise our devices turning off all redundancies. We parked at the trailhead and headed off, with the idea that we spend only 5 min at each hide and employed a bit of a get-ahead approach where I remained to sign the log, once found, while he ehaded off to search for the next. In most cases I caught up before he had laid hands on the next one. It was efficient and we found all 18, only one in poor condition (but dry). A brilliant day ending in us finding the final three back near home.

This container is in brittle shape but the log is dry. The name had us thinking there would be a more clever hide, but we still got a find and was exactly what we needed as our energy levels waned. We were almost done.

Thanks for all the caches. This was a great park to send a Sunday afternoon. Cheers, semik

My caching partner is Semik. Nice quick cache
Poor little mouse. Maybe I should say a rat.
TFTC

Lol.....that made me jump....

I was in need of 11 gems for the mystery at the museum challenge and the filters suggested this would be a good place to tackle today. Hmmmm so I have no problem finding plastic spiders or snakes in caches, but this...yeah this got my heart racing a bit even though I knew it was just a cache. TFTC

Found it

Walking to GZ we were surrounded in the paparazzi!!! Photographers as far as the eye could see, taking snaps of kids and all their photography paraphernalia was out to, we really hope no one has set themselves up near the cache to take snaps or we may just have to stand there and throw a shadow over their subject until they move along. Coast was clear, but we must admit that we had to walk past a few of them, the photographers were all nice and polite, but their assistants were throwing us the stinkeye, how dare we use the walking trails for walking and not photography.

We signed the log and walked past them with our shadow to get back out again. Unfortunately, the log was really wet here, but we could still write our name on it.

Found it - something added!

found on a caching day around brisbane. fav point for a container i haven’t seen before. thanks

First for the day on our track to find the 18 in this group of caches, and off to a great start! This was a nice hide with an awesome container! Cheer! Spellzen and Teazr

Quick easy find and a nice laugh! Love the cache! Tftc! Teazr and Spellzen

Quick find while exploring with the geodogs

Back in my old stomping grounds after an eight year absence (I was a muggle in those days) so have a lot of caching up to do in South East Queensland. Visiting the Geo Grandies whilst in town, and caching variously with them. Today, it was the youngest - miss 6yo.

When she arrived in town , she reminded me that when she visited us in Victoria in December, we out cached her, she was not keen to do it again in the Redlands. So we waited almost 24 hours till she said, "OK, lets go caching" This morning at breakfast, she demanded to go caching again.

Last night I got an interesting email from groundspeak, advising me of a cache in my area with over 50 likes, so we decide this would be the target of today's adventure.

Found by Miss 6yo, but she would not put her hand in. I wondered why not until Mr D removed the cammo and pulled out a great big ..............?

Thanks for the great hide TMRabbit. We enjoyed our walk today.

Oh this cache was beyond cute and so worthy of its many favourite points. With Geodog Angus capturing the odd bush variety I can imagine how excited he would have been if on this walk! Tftc
