sad didnt find sadly but nice walk

Found it! Needs a new log though

Found it, nice area!

Fun find! Needs new log.

I know its tempting but the hint is right Thanks!

Fun little cage for the day

Out for a Friday night dinner on the Southside and so popped in to collect a find. cache in good condition.

Found with Muggle65 on our way out to dinner. Bit funny caching in your good clothes. Thank you for the fun

The bridge is well designed to create a cache opportunity. TftC.

This is the first premium member cache I’ve found. I was also surprised by how quickly I found it! TFTC

There is always time for one more cache of the day. We had only found three hides but had an appointment with the super butcher to buy some smoker pellets and some meat. You don’t actually need an appointment to buy meat, it just tastes better than you do.

At first we stood back hoping the cache would come into view and when it didn’t started reading some old logs. Something caught our eye but it wasn’t moving. Then we gave it a love pump and it started quivering with “anti-cip
…
…
ation”.

We had found the hide it just needed a bit of tinkering to get it free. tftc

Was in Brisbane visiting my son at Camp Hill, saw this one was at Gaffney Street park so I had to go and get it. My wife’s maiden name was Gaffney, so this one has a connection. She is a long distant relative of a Gaffney who was a publican of the Ship Inn at Southbank and he had a position in the council in the 1900’s. So it is getting a heart for this possible connection.

I came from the shopping centre end and spotted this straight away. Thanks for putting this one out for all to find.

I was WAY lucky & stumbled upon it quickly,... despite NEVER seeing such a container previously!! T4T(Ooriginal) C!

That's a good one. Found it quickly today. TFTC

Took awhile to find this one starting at the wrong end of course but got there in the end. TFTC

If we had managed to find a parking spot from our original planned access direction, we probably would’ve spotted the cache on approach, but as it was, nothing was available, so we came from a backstreet and walked up and down the bridge trying to find something out of place. We went through some logs and found that we needed to expand our search. Once we did, The Marble quickly spotted hide. Thanks GadgetJack

Had to get a hint

Looked about here and there then noticed something and wahooo. Cool. Fav.

Thanks to GadgetJack for the fun and the adventure.

Great work with the effort that went into this one. Thanks so much for placing.

Heading out of town unexpectedly and wanting to continue my streak, I quickly found something on my route. GPS had me somewhere else, but quickly realised that what I had spotted on my way in was the cache. Always glad when a clever hide is also a quick one!

Wow clever I put fav

Tftc. Clever spot !

Out for another day of caching with BJA3. Clever hide that took a few minutes to locate with the coordinates about 12 metres out from where the GPS said we should start searching.

Cache & log in good condition,  TFTC!

Awarding a fav for the hide and container!

Out with Team Barritts for the day, picking up smiley's.

After parking close we made our way to the GZ and was lucky for a quick find. All good here, tftc!

Quick easy find

Clever.. very quick find. Thank you

TFTC nice easy find

love this cache. Found it really quickly but so clever. Tftc. Favourite from me

Clever… it was the logs that gave this cache away… once I ignored Geepers and widened my search it was a quick spot of this nicely crafted container… tftc…

Good one.

This is a clever hide thank you for the hunt. SL TFTC

Occasionally geocaching can wreck a perfectly fine walk! In the words of Arnie ‘I will be back’

Out and about this morning grabbing some caches. Happened to be not far from this one and decided to see if we could find it. Wandered over the bridge a few times and then spotted the clever cache. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC

Out in the hot afternoon sun, with little shade around, we came to look for this one. We made far too much hard work of this very sneaky and well-placed hide. A hint from a friend helped and we were able to add our name to the log before heading back to the car and the air conditioning.
Nice one GadgetJack,
Domsky

TFTC

I love it when I can turn a blue face into a yellow one! My previous fruitless visit has been avenged.

Ha ha nice one! I was just about to give up having checked the whole bridge and read all the comments... was feeling pretty stupid looking at all the comments saying it was an easy find... GPS deep not showing correct spot. Walked back and forth over bridge many times as one comment reccommended... cryptic comment: in the end I found it...

CodeOrange & I found TFTC

Found it after expanding the search area.

Peaceful spot with a great cache to go with it.

TFTC!

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Yep very clever, out with isylou and mnance101 today

A little tricky but uncovered the cache eventually. Found with bennyboppers and mnance101 today. Tftc

Quick find. GNSS was a little off but walking the whole bridge did the trick. Tftc.

Woohoo.


About time I got my hands on this thing. A great hide and a favourite point from me.

TFTC.

Nice one.
A good search of the area soon had cache in hand. Tftc

Always love a well thought out cache!! Definitely a good hide!!

Good little find for a first timer. Beautiful area to take a stroll.

I drive past here several times a day and today there was a park . Today is the day to hunt for this one. After a short walk I spotted this clever hide. All signed and replaced without and muggle sightings. Winning Tftc

Had to widen search but had a good idea what to look for so when geohubby spotted it we both went aah. Well done. Love bridge caches. Tftc. Clue gathered

After attending an appointment nearby came here to find this cache. Searched all likely hides but still couldn't find it. Messaged a previous finder for assistance but no answer. Decided to widen my search and there it was like a sore thumb. How did I miss that. SL then returned as found. A tricky and clever cache. A fav point from me.

Found on 22 July 2019 at 11.34am. TFTC, GadgetJack.

I clearly picked the wrong time of day to come looking for caches. There were lots of people out walking, so I had a cursory look and didn’t come up with the goods. I will have to return on another day and a different time.

Took my daughter and friend here after not finding the other one at first bridge. Nearly gave up but kept going back to other people’s comments and that helped. Yey, so much fun! Thanks everyone.

By the time i got to this cache (a short walk from my previous find), it was dark and I was overdue home. I made the mistake of using the satellite photo to locate the likely location of the cache and have discovered since arriving home that is like on an end of the bridge, not the middle as pictured. I looked around for 5 or 10 minutes before calling it quits and heading home to my husband who's been to sick to come. Would love to revisit to have another look!

The last cache found on a very long day collecting 25 different DTs before heading home. This was actually number 26.

At GZ looked at the obvious spots before Gcoven uncovered a clever hide. Thanks for a good hide gadgetjack

A long day to meet the 25 unique DT challenge and grabbed this one on the way home as safety net number 26. Great hide! TFTC

Ooh a bridge just like the last one. The cache was different though
Missed it the first walk over... and the second.
Third time lucky, very, cute and clever.
Thanks For The Cache
GadgetJack.
Favourite point from me.

Good idea for this one. I must admit O had doubts about the terrain rating but it is spot on
Thanks for the cache GadgetJack

Great cache! Hidden in plain sight. But not obvious! TFTC!

Wow....very cool.

A very clever hide, it was quickly obvious there was something there where it shouldn't be, but only because I was looking for it. Nicely done.

11:11. This traditional cache makes find number 5,591, thanks **GadgetJack**. Discover our TB

Thank you to the wonderful caching community and their great descriptions. Was about to start climbing the bridge but thought better of it. TFTC

Your comments about pushing the cache back in gave me a bit of a clue but I was thrown off by the satellite image showing the location as half way along the bridge. I was worried it meant to shopping trolley in the creek (see picture). But comparing both ends of my search area soon revealed this hide.

TFTC

Last one today and a great one it is.
Wandered down the path and geopartner waited in the geomobile.
Looking, looking and then I jumped as something scuttled off into the reeds.
It was black and had legs so knew it was not a snake.
Very quiet here. Only me.
Soon found the cache and signed the log.
Took piccy to show Geopartner who was waiting.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks GadjetJack All good with this cache
A favourite from me

Quick find at this bridge. Nice camo.
TFTC GadgetJack

Out for the day with nikid1 & RoddyC. After a DNF at the previous cache we were keen to make amends here & get a smilie. My heart sank a little when I saw the exact same bridge but the frown was soon replaced with a smile as RoddyC called out that he had found it. Well done on the cache container!
TFTC Gadgetjack

We came across your cache, GadgetJack, on a caching day with KerryMG and nikid1.

Nice quick find. Much easier than the Backyard BBQ.

Log signed and cache replaced at 11:11 AM on August 30, 2018. TFTC.

I am never the guy who says "it was in the first place I looked". NEVER.

Well, this one was in the first place I looked. Found a couple of similar caches recently, which probably helped hugely. Nicely done - thanks for the cache, GadgetJack.

Visiting Carindale shops and thought we'd duck over the road to find a geocache, Thanks!

Found it. The GPS was playing up, so after awhile connected to the 4G and it showed we were in the wrong area, Aussie Clarke spotted it and signatures applied.
TFTC

Made this one a lot harder than it needed to be. What is it with metal bridges and GPS signals.

Technology useless, about to dismantle the structure beam by beam when the cache came out of hiding.

Quickly grabbed, log signed and replaced as and where found...

**TFTC_Gadgetjack**

Had this one pretty quickly as i've seen variations and guessed what was required. Still amusing.
Cheers!

Nice stroll after spending the afternoon bush bashing for other caches. Found on approach. We have always wanted to know what’s down here as we drive past all the time. TFTC

Out to do a challenge today (25 different D/T's) with geofriends. This cche took us a while to locate, in fact it took us the longest of all caches we did. A good hide. TFTC

On a mission today with geo friends to complete the Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge (QLD) and this was a lovely walk to get to GZ where we searched for quite some time and just as we were about to PAF, we had the prize in hand. This was a very clever hide and worthy of a favorite point from me, thanks GadgetJack and TFC

We think your geoname is appropriate as this was a very clever container. This find took us a while as we managed to clean up a lot of the bridge with our hands as we became very intimate with it, lol. I'd checked two areas similar to where the cache was found, by a geofriend with us today, but hadn't looked where it was actually located. We were about to PAF for a hint but the find was made by Snickersallen who did a happy dance!! That was worth seeing too, lol! Thanks for the cache and our enjoyment of your hide here GadgetJack. A favourite point awarded! Cheers!

This is a very clever hide that had us searching for ages before we decided to PAF - then just as I went to say something the call came out from Snickersallan that she had found it and a happy dance ensued. Thanks GadgetJack and a FP from me.

20th of the day, OCW ESCR so I could complete my 25 d/t in a day and it ended up being 30 d/t in a day. Thanks to the owner for replacing this one for me on my big day of adventure. This still took us a little while to find as it blends in so well. Hopefully this one wont get muggled like its previous container. TFTC

Had to get a cache fast so this one wasn't too far so I thought I would have a go as it had just been replaced. Arrived at GZ and checked my phone as a couple of Muggles passed by. Looked about and made a quick find. Signed the replacement log (almost looked like I was FTF) so I wrote replacement log on it then signed it and put it back in its possie. TFTC

"Sigh". After being prompted by a cacher to check the status of this one, I was surprised to hear about the potential disappearance of the cache. Much to my sadness, the original cache had been muggled and I suspect by some meddling kids or a fellow cacher, as the original cache was chained to the bridge and would not wash away. Oh well. I have replaced the cache with a new container in a better spot - given my grown loathing for under bridge caches - and as such this cache is now wheelchair friendly, it is also slightly more difficult but should not prove too hard to spot. Good luck everyone and please do not allow the cache to creep or be stolen.

??

Couldn't find through all the debris here. The water has come right up the bridge.

Came back for this one in the cool of the afternoon, Tftc Gadgetjack :^)

No luck with this one but hope the rain holds off and I can have another go at it soon. TFTH :^)

Came back for a second (well, third) look this arvo and finally found it! Very much high and dry. Tftc

We visited the area today for World Earthcache Day in company of barbbowman, FastEd59 and totalube. As this cache was on the way to where we needed to be, we decided to stop by and take a little walk to ground zero. The cache was easily found in a nice little area to visit.

Thank you GadgetJack for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy.

This cache has been in my backyard for a while, but I had no reason to rush at it. There was a time when my home turf was covered in yellow smilies. New players (locals) have spoiled me for choice

So, having promised to re-set the coords for GZ, I wandered to the troll's lair and went... Yikes! Think long, wet grass (it was rainy), ticks, snakes, and monsters that go bump in the dark. But down I went with Mr Garmin and the cache was visible and barely 2M from the coords. Marked the spot with a stick and headed up top and took a WP.

That should have been the end of running around in the rain today. Alas it was just the beginning!

TFTC GadgetJack!

Cool find here today. Replaced bag for log. Signed and left a tiny fairy dust. Thank you CO for placing.

Thanks for the clever cache and quick find. Cache is great condition

Nice hide. TFTC

Finally found it

I came here especially to get this one as I needed a traditional "J" to complete the qualifiers for the July challenge. Nice hide. TFTC Gadgetjack

TFTC - the water must surge through this area in a rain event.

Me, geobrother and geodad are out while mother and daughter shop. Tftc

Quick find with Mitchiemus. Made like a troll and was quickly rewarded. Funky container all good here. Tftc

QuickFind with Escott77 and grog unny. Thanks guys for the fun morning. Tftc

thursday fun with raynersinoz and fasted

still looking for the way in ...
but bonus we found another T2

Over this side of town clearing up this particular area.

Still trying to find that elusive path to the other cache when we come to this one.

Barb quickly locates the cache and we make our mark.
