Visiting from NZ and using the opportunity to find enough caches to earn the Cosmic souvenir.Decided to attempt the Glider Forest Trails today and maybe a few extras as well. Ended up doing a 16.5 km walk over five and a half hours and finding 41 out of 41. Very pleased that all the caches were in place and able to be found. This one was a nice quick find in the hint location. Thx to the COs for placing and maintaining all these caches.
Finished work after an all nighter and needed a find for my 366 Calendar Challenge. Decided to knock over the Glider Forest Power Trail as its located a short distance from my work.TFTC. TNLN. SL.

We am from Switzerland...and we travel all States and Terrotories of Australia .We do housesitting all over the world and travel afterwards. Its nice to be back and this time even better with geocaching Nggi2 and I decided today and to make out of green ones Smilies in this forest. Were we parked we met the guys who cut the trees .I asked him if we had to be aware of snakes ?! He said we are okay on the paths ..So in the bush we were very much aware there could be some ..so we took stickes to get the caches out of the hidding .. I also wore long trousers and good shoes . It was very hot today even in the bush and we heard the ciclades an kookaburras . We spoted he caches in fairly good time .Thank you for this Dsli ( which means is Swiss cache )oinkoinkText@camp
Heute bei schnem Wetter nach etwas suchen auch diesen gefunden. Besten Dank frs legen und pflegen.
As I left the previous cache one of the council workers approached me and we had a chat. He told me I was ok to wander around in the bush as long as I avoided the main track. I have realised now that they are sealing the whole track with bitumen which is why there are council trucks and workers everywhere. I crossed over the new bitumen and headed by a back route through the forest to this cache. Once I arrived it was a nice easy find.Today I completed the Glider Forest Power Trail. I walked 6.5km in just over 2hrs and found 22/23 caches. This is a new daily record for me (my previous record was 21 caches). Apart from 1 that seemed to be missing and a couple which were damaged, the caches were all in good condition and fairy easy to find. The council is doing some major track works at the moment so I was off-track for the entire second half of the series, which just added to the fun!
Family geo day out with Goteammullan, drossiter, tlm83. Trying to gain some more smilies. TFTC.
I was keen for some fresh air, exercise & caching today so headed out to Glider Forest. I collected 8 Power Trail caches plus 2 other traditionals. TFTC
A nice quick find here. There is a small hole in the corner which looks to be slightly chewed on but there is enough protection in the hiding spot that the cache was dry inside. Thanks Cantcacheus2014
We couldn’t decide where to leave the trail, so went in from two different spots, neither of which was too spiderwebby, although there were a couple that intimidated this arachnophobic. DisSister had already found the cache by the time we got to GZ. Some spectacularly beautiful trees along the path here. TFTC, Cantcacheus2014. =^.^=

My boss/driver didn’t want to come with me and park on the path on the other side of the road of this one so I went and got this one it was an easy find as I was righting the log my boss called and said that someone tried to open the back of his Ute as he heard the back being lifted up and he turned the car back on and show someone running away into the woods.
Pick below may be a spoiler.

Over on the Southside for some more caching therapy today, I enjoyed this area so much I wanted to come back and grab a few more, this time I used the bike as I knew the area better. Seems I have been over this way a lot lately. Today the plan was to finish this little area.
I started off and passed a few that I got a few weeks back, reached the first for today in no time. Again, there was no one around here today so it was very peaceful. I only had time to get five or six before I had to return and continue on with my duties for the day.
Thank you for the outing, all caches were found in good order and all logs were signed with caches returned as found.

A very quiet day at home, and I thought I’d pop out and collect the final couple in this series…
Parking at the closest (read legal) spot I walked in and found #19 and then it was another short walk in to make this find…

Found this clever hide while doing the Glider Forest PT.
Not sure what numbers I was supposed to gather, but have a few options. TFTC

Found this with graceygirl1234 while trying to collect all the clues for the letterbox cache.

The impact force when tree hit log must have been something incredible to cause that kind of damage to the tree. Amazing. Thanks for the cache
We were originally going to detour via the Tree Museum on our way to this one, but no likely track appeared and we didn't want to bush that far form the main track. Found this one no trouble after deciding to stick with the series.
Out walking and geocaching before it gets too hot. No one else on the track. Quick find. Tftc
Picking up a few smiles in the extended local area for caches. Our aim today is the Glider trail. Out with RoddyC & GS1947 .
Lovely time to be out and about.

Our day has been amazing so far. Count down is on as we find the last few caches in the Glider Forest. By the way, we haven't seen any gliders on our journey!. Cache was quickly in hand here. TFTC.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I took our MTBs, and rode around Sergeant Dan Stiller Memorial Reserve / Warril Parkland and Glider Forest Conservation Area. It was fairly cruisey riding around with a few ups and downs, and a creek crossing that was deep enough to prevent riding through (although my shoes got wet with my attempt). Following our ride, we headed east to Browns Plains and visited Logan West Library, followed by a stop at IKEA.
During our ride in this area, we made a stop at this geocache, where we made a quick cache find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Cantcacheus2014 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

I was enjoying the trail ride here, so I reached the gate/fence and had to turn back. Wandered about for a while before looking where the cache was hidden. TN/LN/SL The box and contents are in excellent condition.
Finally revisiting this trail today a bit over a year after finding the majority of this series. With the aim of completing this corner of Glider Forest this afternoon. This was the 6th.
A short walk from the last cache. Put the GPS away 30m our after spotting the likely landmark. The cache had been pushed out of its hole by someone or something so this was an easy find. Covered it back up for the next finder.

Sorry for generic log. Out with DKDK to take on the power trail. A wonderful piece of Bush land and a nice series. TFTC
What else does one do when isolating in Brisbane for the Easter break but go to a remote piece of bush land to register a few cache finds? We ran into one person in the last 3 times we've been to this location so we thought this to be a pretty responsible place to exercise.

A bike ride in isolation in this piece of bushland.
Have been saving this cluster of caches for a day when I would need them, as I have now completed the goals I had set myself it was a good time to grab these.
The tracks were deserted.
Continuing my ride collection simleys on good coordinates
Thank you for hiding this one

Today i started with this powertrail. I found all boxes and say thanks for hiding and maintenance. TftC
We had a sit and a rest at this big log while we did the signing.
Thanks for the cache.

I was looking a good day caching were it was more about walking than driving. Had been in the park next door awhile ago. So this part was always on the list.
Today was the day. Love the walk around the park.
Thank you for bringing me here.
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 Cantcacheus2014 ¥298. #1882 Finds.

Having an all day geocaching excursion with Oddiewan. Some decent terrains alongside some simples. Apologies for the generic log, but those that know me well know the logging struggle is REAL.
Caching buddy Semik.
Out and about hunting caches.
What a great piece of bush land to spend the day.

On our travels from Brisbane down to Mount Buffalo we searched and found som Geocaches. Thanks to all owners for the Caches.
I was on a roll finding the first 2 and this time I again rushed ahead and found it first. Tftc
One of the old go-to caching phlogs is the infamous selfie. It’s good for filling in space and catching a key moment in every individuals growth and evolution. No need to be so self-indulgent about a photo, just take it, post it, share it, like it, and occasionally sext it.
It is very hard to take a selfie in the bush and look good in it (unless you are wearing a sh!t-hot sexy hat). Challenge accepted! tftc

Love that we’re finding mostly larger than micro containers. Really enjoying the walk too! TFTC
Nearing the end of the trail and the rain is coming down fairly solidly now. I'm still hoping to crack two hours for the whole lot, but it'll be touch and go – the legs have gone! No problems here though. Thanks for the cache and the series, Cantcacheus2014.
Came out today to see if we could do the glider forest trail, found number 19 4 to go, TFTC
After a quick scan of the most obvious log, the other log was soon in hand. TFTC
Found while out enjoying the trail with Griffo. Nice day and really enjoying this series.

Found @8:39:00 AM.
With the hidden creature souvenirs month beginning we began searching for possible locations to have a "big" day of caching.
With Lismore area cleaned out Walden clan and I decided to pack the bikes and head North. We left Lismore around 5am and returned around 8:30pm with around 70 finds.
Really enjoy caching this way. A few mishaps along the way.
1. A puncture
2. Lost mobile phone (luckily found again)
3. A run in with the police while trying to access an area that had a road closed sign.
4. A sore bum
37km of cycling.
Had a great day. Thanks to efforts of the hiders.
Sorry for all the copy and past logs.
Cheers

Number 19 was a quick find after having solved the phone problem.
All good here, and then we continued our walk through the lovely forest along great trails.
