We had a good look around and found where we thought it should be... but no cache for us today.
Looked for a while and rummaged through a few different rock crevices with a stick because I wasn’t too keen on putting my hand in all the spiderwebs. Maybe would’ve had more luck if I had a torch so I could see what was in the crevices.
Took a bit of searching. And I had to reach in where there were spiders. Yikes!
I think it has been disturbed as there is a pile of timber close to GZ. And had to put the log and the remains of some swaps back in the container. I've added in a couple of new swaps to make up for it

We looked further around the designated area but still dnf. It was fun looking anyway.
Great little find. We nearly gave up but then caught eye of it. Cashe slightly off exact measurements
a bit of a search but definitely findable. Thank you Alistair, Rose and Jonathan
Interesting find we trekked through the wilderness, we made it through. Didn't know how lost we were till we found youuu.
Looked in all the likely spots and came up empty-handed.
Looked over my shoulder to study the area and a glint about 10m away caught my eye. Turned out to be the cache.
TFTC!

One of the little joys in life is to go hiking through the bush on a stinking hot day, sweating hard and looking for some plastic. Some people want to go to Disneyland, enjoy a musical or maybe grow a refined moustache but who would give up wearing a sweaty wet shirt and have cobwebs dressing up their face to find a cache.
We had a bit of trouble finding this one until we read some old logs that told us to shuffle on a bit. I’m getting on a bit in years so shuffling is my preferred method of transport. The older I get the more things I find to complain about as well so I’m aging nicely. tftc

This one was a little tricky, after reading previous logs I realised I needed to widen the search a little. It wasn't too long before I spotted the hide and had the cache in hand.
Log signed, returned as found.
Thanks lai_alexekajnomae for the cache.

After arriving at the GZ and reading that hint we looked around for a minute or two and soon the cache was in hand! TFTC! Cache find no. 139!
After a long search, and reviewing past comments, found off GZ. Possibly try (-27.5395382, 153.0486364).
Nearly gave up but then read that the co-rods are a bit out. In hand very soon after!
Found a spot to sign the teeny tiny log book- probably needs to be replaced. Tftc

This took a bit of the searching. Finally resorted to the previous logs. Sure enough, coordinates were bit off. Soon cache was found, log signed and off to the next cache.
My 178th find.

Took a few minutes but read previous logs and widen out search. I got GZ at S27 32.367 E153 02.919.
Out and about with Gunnie69 looking for jewels to solve the mystery at the museum. Plan was to tackle caches around Mt Gravatt and Holland Park, and the seek the final path to the vault.
Thanks for the cache and hunt.

Out and about on a morning jewel heist with Ghostgums, this was the last jewel hosting cache we needed to secure the third level of the challenge. We arrived to find a warning sign suggesting there could be falling trees and debris after recent burn offs. Pfft we thought, we're only nipping in briefly so we'll be fine.
We followed the GPS and ended up in area that presented a number of hiding locations. Sadly, after a decent hunt, we had no container. We paused to read through some previous logs and gleaned some critical information that led us to a different spot. On arrival, the container was spotted immediately and retrieved for business. [^]
Names in the log, Ghostgums snapped some more accurate coords, the cache was returned as found and we headed off.

After a cold morning start I decided to do something different this morning and combine MTB riding with a little geocaching (well that is not different for ruzzelz). What was actually different / new was a first visit to Toohey Forest park for MTB riding and for that matter geocaching, virgin territory here.
It was a great day out in the park and makes me wonder how I have avoided caching in the location for all these years. Oh that's right this is the darkside.

This is a very beautiful part of Toohey Forest. The coords were way out for me so I sat down on a nearby rock and read through some logs. Soon found. Log is quite full but I squeezed in my name in an early part of the logbook.
Thanks for bringing me here.

Afternoon caching in Toohey forest and surrounds.
As I had misread the description of a nearby cache we walked here instead.
An enjoyable walk even if the traffic can be heard all the time.
Thank you for hiding

Coords were about 12m out for me, but grabbed it after reading a few logs. This area reminds me so much of Stanthorpe! Thanks
Took way too long with both of us searching the rock wall when at last TeamARF made the call. Our last one today as gave up on a big bush bash for another one further in! TFTC
Last cache collected today on this run to the dark side. After a few DNFs today, this hide was looking like it was going to make another one. A read of past logs, it was noted that GZ was out by up to 10m. So went to the obvious 'big rock' and found the container sandwiched between the rocks. Thanks for placing this cache lai_alexekajnomae.
Found it quite easier with Mr 5 + 8. Only a used popper and no pen. Still fun
Yes, it is small. GPS not that accurate, out by 10 metres maybe. All good. Thank you!
Whilst visiting the uni for the day, we thought we'd get our geocaching on, hard find but great spot!

A nice December morning was spent riding Merida around the Toohey and My Gravatt trails, getting exercise and collecting smilies along the way.

Found while visiting Griffith Uni about 18mtrs out and quite exposed tucked it back in a little further tftc
GPS out by about 15m, but having a good look around there was really only one spot that matched the description. TFTC!
Needed a walk in the woods today and chose Toohey Forest for my soirée
Parked in the middle of the pack and this was my first quarry. Took a bit of searching and cache located roughly 18m west of posted coords On with the stroll.
TFTC Lai-A!

Tom and Miles: It was hard to find this cache, but our GPS could be inaccurate.
Time for a few caches in Brisbane with Willpunkey and Scoob on our way to Ballina. thanks for the cache. there was a makeshift shelter a few metres away
Had a good look around the rocks but was tricky with our young kids. Will try again another day.
Followed the instructions but a tricky one to locate with two young kids. Will have to try again another day
Nice little afternoon walk. A little hard to reach for a shorter person but TFTC!
