My mate was stung by a bee, watch out for the nest under the corner metal edge. DNF
Had a good look but couldn't find it, seemed to be someone else in the same situation!
Looked everywhere for an hour, couldn't find it, even with hints in the comments :\
Sun has broken out and while in area dropped by to pick this one up. Log is in good nick. Signed and replaced as found. TFTC
On a skanky rainy day we thought we would have the area to ourselves. We were badly mistaken because it was peak hour at the lift. We weren’t sure where everyone was heading but rather than suffer a bad case of FOMO we had to find out after finding the cache.
Our initial search was coming up busted. We moved around a bit and started gushing through the logs for a bit of intel. We were told to trust the map and started searching in the spot that was indicated.
Initially we couldn’t feel the cache and so dismissed its hiding spot until we looked in. It had slipped down a long way and was out of reach. We weren’t going to leave it in its precarious position and started poking it further down with our umbrellas, except not even they were long enough. We went back to the car to see what we could find and one of the hiking poles at full extension could just do the trick.
With Mrs Woodyrothwell wearing the wicket keeping gloves at the bottom I was able to just push it free. Log signed we returned it to where it couldn’t be seen but still felt. We then caught the lift down to join the party but it was a wedding ceremony and somehow our invitations were lost in the mail. tftc

I called in at Wilson Outlook Reserve to grab the 3 Adventure Labs in this park and this cache.

I’m in town for magic round and thought we’d do some caching in between games.
An early start to our Sunday morning, we managed a few finds before the footy.

Found with ManicPixie. Searched at night worried we would need more daylight but cache secured! TFTC
I am on vacation to enjoy walks and views, not look at hundreds of possible spaces. Fortunately it was in a reasonable and convenient place, so found quickly and returned to photographing the view. TftC
was in the area looking at the flood damage - a nice little find in all the chaos, thank you
TFTC - Took a little while to find but satisfying when we did! So many potential hiding spots.
It took some time & a lot of activity post reading to narrow down the search. Once I zeroed in I wished I had longer arms to make the extraction a little easier TFTC
Beautiful view, thanks for sending us up here! That took a very long time to find, thought we were going to have to leave with a DNF! Well hidden. TFTC!
Took about 1/2hr, but thanks to arbie87 for finally locating. Spent a while going up/down stairs! TFTC!
My GPS keeps playing up so had to take a few guesses by reading some finds. Nice hide. I say it is down and up. Signed Team Lolala
Thanks to some newbies to caching I found this one. Giving a favourite due to the company I met on the way and the genius hide. Tftc
I am so sorry, that I am logging this find nearly a year later. The reason for this is that I misplaced my little booklet, where I make the entries during the day and just found it today. I remember that this cache was a challenge because the constant flow of muggles and we had to wait a long while to retrieve the cache and place it back. The view towards the bridge is stunning. TFTC Team Zener
Tricky spot but check all options before giving up! Reading the comments will help
Nice easy find after you’ve found a few like this. TFTC. Needs some maintenance.
Actually thought cache was more down than up .
Beautiful Sunday evening to enjoy down below on second State of Origin Night 2021.
Our two and a half year old grandson decided the stairs were the best way to travel to the cache.
Thanks Team Zena

A quick easy find. I’m on holidays in the city for a week and have been geocaching every morning. I do a lot on foot then use a scooter pass to get between places that I’d rather not run. For example, I’ve run across the Story Bridge 3 times so now I use a scooter. TFTC. It’s making my holiday quite rewarding.
Been muggled out on a couple of other occasions, glad to finally have a good search and find/sign the log on a gorgeous autumn day

Finally found after almost an hour searching and almost giving up! Very clever spot. Is exactly where the map says. Had to read all the logs to help us find it. Very tricky but very fun once found
Could not for the life of me find this cache
My partner and I spent an absurd amount of time trying to locate, but had no luck. WE WILL BE BACK!

I decided to head over this way to collect my cache for the day, it was such a lovely afternoon and I needed to unwind after a manic day at work.
Arriving at gz, my app decided to play up, so I worked from the main map which seemed to work very well as I found the cache in the first place I looked.
Magnificent views from here, great spot for a cache.
Log signed, cache replaced as found.
Thanks Team Zener for a great cache.

Finally!
Have been here a couple of times, late nights, searching without results.
This morning i had business in the valley.
Parked just across the street and strolled over.
Started in the usual location then looked at another map. A few meters away there was another spot.
Exited to put my had on this elusive cache.
Thank you for hiding this geocache Team Zener

I had been past here on a bike ride back in January but didn’t get to have a real search, late at night, too many muggles. I must say the clue to look up confused me a little- perhaps a cryptic clue. Agree with other logs, the GPS seems to create more false hope here- look closely at the map position and you will be right on the spot! TFTC- great view.
Oh no! I just can't do these urban caches- give me a mountain to climb and a forest to fossick in! I tried up and down and up again and everywhere in between. Nothing doing. But I can say that I found the riverside walk and the views amazing!
Muggle central this Saturday morning! Went to the first spot but was led astray by the GPS. After a bit of searching I read a few logs and saw that a few found the map more helpful so back I went to the original spot and found it immediately. Beautiful view. TFTC!
Incredible views from this cache. Reading previous logs we were expecting a harder search but luck was on our side and we found it quickly. TFTC!
Thought this would be a longer find then it was but luckily erm_the_worm found it fairly quickly. Loved the views from the spot. TFTC
Fairly quick find, was a hot arvo so not too many muggles about! Haven't been to this outlook in years. Was nice to retrace some old steps.
Out and about on a stormy Tuesday night, picking up caches and a few nearby labs. I had DNF'd this cache once before, and was keen to avenge the DNF tonight. It is in a great spot so I didn't mind revisiting the area. Took a few photos of the bridge, lit up in blue, but wished for fancy photography equipment. Thankfully the storm blew away the muggles so we had freedom to take our time and eventually a well hidden cache was unearthed and in hand. A fair bit of bounce here makes it difficult, but persistence pays .
Was in the area with the Goldy Girls doing some Adventure Labs. Not sure what they've done as I was minding the illegally parked car while they searched.
Thanks for taking us here Team Zener. Nice view but no Smiley for us.

The map made it confusing to look up on the cliff, or down along Howard Smith Wharves... Unfortunately we did not find it, but we will try again some other day!
A bit puzzling to start, but log notes & the map helped. Love learning & discovering more about my home city. Left a little treasure. TFTC FP
Out today to continue my challenges of a trad a day and a cache a day, with work over for the day and me still needing my find, I had my eyes set on this cache. It was one I had been to before but because of the high volume of people in the area I was unable to have a good search. Today as it was a little less busy I had the time to look hard and I needed that time. It did take a lot of searching and thinking, looking and reading previous logs. When I found it I was kicking myself for not being as thorough as I should have been and I must have looked close to this spot 4 times.
I very good hide and one that is not tuff just clever, thank you for placing it here, all good with the log and container.

Well this one tested me, searched high and low between foot traffic and lift people. Luckily had plenty of fine views to avoid suspicion. About to walk away when I thought I'll just check there. Bingo, got the sucker. Thanks Team Zener
After 6 months I can finally log this cache as found!! Happy days! Certainly not an easy one.
Just had a huge breakfast nearby with jodsta83 so thought we’d grab this one while in the area. I was way off when jodsta83 made the find. TFTC!
