Welcome to C.R.E.E.C Burpengary, Queensland, Australia
By 4ando on 29-Aug-15. Waypoint GC62EQ7

Has been removed as the local centre removed it due to damage to the trees from people visiting.

This cache has been removed by the centre staff as the tracking in to find it was causing damage to the natural habitat of wildlife. They have tried contacting the owner of the cache with no response.

Found it
Very nice area
Thank u

Out this way with KerriMG. With 2 sets of eyes we couldn’t find the cache. We had a spare cache so have placed this here as per the hint. I hope that’s ok, as I don’t believe the COs live out this way.
Great little area.

TFTC 4ando

What a great area this is. So I’m not too disappointed I will have to return to avenge this DNF.
Firstly I had trouble with the answers. Well actually I was happy with my answers but it lead to a final in someone’s backyard.
A quick PAF said I had one number wrong. At GZ I looked and looked but came up empty. That happens sometimes with caching. Thanks anyway 4ando
Ps not sure what I did wrong to get the wrong answer.

Did the sums, came up with a set of numbers, which took me a long way west, and seems like there is a wire fence blocking my progress, just hope this is my miscalculating, will have another try

Muggle65 and l had to do a child transport run. We decided we had time to do cache as well. This is a great location! We very much enjoyed our quick stroll. Thank you for the fun

Taking geokid Jess home this afternoon & thought we’d drop in & pick this one up. Nice & quick

Got the questions answered in no time, added the waypoint to collect on my way around the track with the others on this beautiful walk. Got lucky and walked straight up to the cache at the GZ.

It was perfect winter weather for a wander this morning so we came to explore this area. We started at the centre, where we found all the necessary information, and then walked the length of the creek side track before looping back to finish at this cache. We managed to find it after a short hunt before returning to the centre for a well-earned hot chocolate from the lovely volunteers in the cafe. TFTC 4ando

Great cache

Found with bonkers and shush

Nice little multi cache got the info needed then we headed off to grab the cache.
Cache was found and the log sheet signed
Thanks for the multi cache

TFTC. Funding the required info was the easy bit. At GZ. I mistook what I was looking for. Had a second look where the co-odds told me and spotted what i should not have missed.

Out today to grab a few target caches with certain attributes and types, this was one of those.
I had a muggle friend with me today who I was showing around and looking at different cache types. Explaining what types of caches and how they work is better if you just go and do, lol. So off we went to try this one, and easy multi and one in which we could do even with the place loaded of people for a birthday party. With the numbers crunched we had a new set of coordinates and off we went. So happy to find this one, with the log signed and cache replaced we were off to the next surprise for the day. Thanks for placing this one here; I didn’t know this place existed.

Dayboro trip. Day 8. This was listed as pre-Mega day. Check in was running so I collected my stuff and headed out for a morning caching. I chose an area that would not overlap with team caching over the next few days, out by Caboolture. There was a series on a bike path, three sets of Adventure lab and an assortment of other caches in between. The day ended with a multi for the days requirement. Then it was back to Dayboro show grounds for socialising and onsite gadget labs and other fun activities.

I needed a Multi for today, so hunting about I decided to give this one a go. The playground was busy with kids having fun. I was able to get the required answers from the sign without any problems. A short walk later and I also found the cache in good condition.

Thanks.

Family birthday part today. I decided to head out and grab a cache. This one fit the bill. It was about 35degrees and 80% humidity and we were all baking! Bush bashing was actually cooler than hanging out underneath the hot picnic table iron roof. Yikes.

Maybe this cache was more about me proving to myself that I can do basic arithmetic on my own without making mistakes. These kind of multi caches have become my nemesis.

I worked out GZ easily (too easily) and made my way bush. When I couldn't find the cache my heart sank and confidence eroded. It took me a lot longer than it really should have to finally find it. But eventually, it was unearthed, and my confidence was restored. Maybe I really can do basic math!

Thanks for a great cache, 4ando.

TB visits

Spent far longer than was expected looking for this one and Geo Jane had botched one of the numbers in the co-ords.. oops... got there in the end and the log sheet was full so added a fresh one as well.

Lucky the 5 year old was with us or we would have missed it!

Found Ok

Found Ok

A well thought out multi where the questions and answers are clear. The hide is a little sneaky and coords good. Thanks 4ando and fav point

We were here recently for some MTB champs, but this time came back at a slower pace to grab some caches. Nice one for our first. TFTC

Fount it

Took a while , but we found it

Second attempt for us to complete this one as the first time we came here the dark beat us so we gave up. Already had the Coords solved and so just needed to go to GZ and find the cache. Seems simple enough right..... Well after wandering around GZ for 15 mins trying to get a good GPS location, i ended up putting it away and just using my geosenses to make the find. Didnt take long after that and I had the cache in hand. Glad I didn't try to find this in the dark last time as I think I would still be there now looking around. A great little multi cache to complete a cluster of finds here at CREEC. Thanks for going to the effort to set this one up for us to find.

It’s a nice feeling to come back and turn this one into a smiley. I came here several months ago to do it, I had no issues getting coords, but when it came to finding the cache, well... It turns out it was missing, so since I’m in the area I decided to stop by and grab it.

1MinnieMoo and I were in the area and decided to grab a few caches.

We had looked for this one previously but thought it gone. It seems it has made a re-appearance!

I didn't find it anywhere like I expected - but I did find it - upside down - in the middle of nowhere. I signed the log and re-hid it where I expected it should be. It was in good condition otherwise.

A great little multi in a nice little area. TFTC 4ando

Out and about for a spot of caching. Unfortunately the weather turned and my putting was cut short.

Rounded off my morning at the CREEC finishing this multi. I was really impressed with the area and loved this easy MC to finish our adventure today. Muggle hubby headed to the car whilst I went to find the cache. It wasn’t where I thought it would be but not too far off. Tftc

TFTC smile 6757 out and about with miss Millie geo dog who was asleep in the nice warm car easy fine did not need
GPS as I knew where to look


Thank you, 4ando, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

I came here yesterday and gathered the information. Gee it was a busy park and lovely to see everyone out enjoying the sunshine. At gz I had no luck and contacted the co who gave me permission to put a replacement down. So today I was passing by and popped in with a nice new container. It was still busy at the park but no one at gz which made it easy to pop in here. Thanks for taking me to this park and for the fun multi.

ty *Que Sera* for replacing this cache!
Came here yesterday to geocache and saw this one was gone. Was in the area today and decided to have a quick look at this cache again. To my surprise it was back up. Quickly headed over to find the sneaky cache as we already had the coordinates from last time. Took a while to find but we eventually got there. Signed and replaced back where it was found. TFTC *4ando*!

Needs attention

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Have not been able to fine this cache after 3 times of looking , cant take miss millie as dogs are not allowed in the park has been lovely weather each time I have been

Got the coords easily, but couldn’t find the cache. Started getting dark so called it quits. I’ll try again some other time.

Found the info but not the cache. Will return.

Thank you for the cache, put a little extra paper in.

A day-long run around Pine Rivers shire today - this was my next stop. I have been here before, having "cleared the area" at the time. Must have been before 2015 though as this one has been around a while. Time for my return performance. No issues with the coords, and off I went to my new GZ and no issues here either. A nice simple rewarding multi, cheers.

Thanks 4ando for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #6909}*

I have heard about this park, but never had the push to come. Fathers Day and much too nice a day to be inside all day proved to be the perfect opportunity and we weren’t let down.
Although as the geo kid and I trapsed through the VERY crunchy leaves geo hubby decidedly that he didn’t want to get caught and sensibility went back. I however do not have such common sense and continued crunching though, just as we were closing in on the jumpy coordinates a family decide now is the perfect time for a walk.
We pretended we were trees signed the log then made like trees and leave.
Thanks for a great afternoon

So we came to this park because it had multiple caches then I seen it had a multi cache so though I would give this one a go as I have given a few a go but only finished one so far. This was an easy one so yay found it and the others around here. Also glad we came here and found this park as it will be perfect for my autistic children’s birthday party’s so thanks !

We have been hearing so many good things about this park recently. I use to live close by when I was younger and this space has changed so much since then. Amazing facilities and the walk is easy and quite beautiful. Next time I'll be sure to bring the mozzie spray though!
This was the first on our list. The kids helped answer the questions to get the final coordinates and we were soon on our way. The cache was quickly found, signed and placed back in its space. TFTF

I worked the coordinates out a while ago when here with the geomonsters. A nice quick find with only around 5 minutes of daylight left.

This has my first clue in the Mystery at the Museum series...

Thanks!!

Found it

**# 24744** Found on our 2019 trip to Qld for winter.
A fine warm sunny Winter day for a drive around the area again.
Not many muggles around today and a few good safe hides.
I was unsure at GZ but a good search revealed the cache.
Thanks for the cache 4ando,
***Roostaman***

Out in this area picking up a new video game with my daughter. Decided this would be a great cache to do while in the area. We collected all the info and found the final fairly quickly. TFTC!

Cache a day to keep the doctor away or keep me sane TFTC 4ando

Oo and this one too.

Nice puzzle for the kids here, thanks 4Ando. This is the 2nd of your caches today and we are trying o find some more.

Another quick and clever multi on my way home ! Yes container is destroyed so I replaced it with brand new one of similar size . Old log still usable so left that! Tftc

Needs lots of maintenance. Entire bottom has come out and there are holes in lid

Container is destroyed

Sunday. After having earlier geocaching plans scuppered by a “rain event”, and feeling ever so annoyed, I decided that since we needed a multi for today anyway, I would go and grab one. Seeing this one was quite near to home (always an extra incentive), I went to pick this one up before a newly hatched plan to have a coffee at the local shops with a friend. Seems like the CREEC place has changed so much since we were there last time (several years ago I admit), when the cache that was there was unable to be gotten to and was eventually archived. Lots of people in the building there today, celebrating something in there. I got the numbers I needed and headed off. Getting the numbers was the easy bit, trying to get my phone to direct me to the right tree with cloud cover was another story. Eventually used my eyes and spotted a likely candidate for a cache hide. Found the wee beastie and signed the log Yay, another multi to tick off my list and in the process, got to see all the new works and improvements that has happened to this location.

This was the only cache found on today's trip.

Thanks ***4ando***, for showing us this place.

I’d been to this cache before and I was actually at the right spot but it was a lot wetter in here then and I somehow didn’t spot the cache!
But today 1minniemoo found it as soon as we arrived!
Tftc 4ando!

Out and about with Wombles&Co today for a little Wacky Wednesday adventuring. The day was sadly fast coming to an end, but a short look at our maps had us deciding to head here and grab this multi. Wombles had been here many times before with children's parties but was never able to take the time to get this cache, so today was time to rectify that.
It wasn't long before we were stumbling in to the bush to make a quick find. Unfortunately something has decided this cache tastes pretty darned good, as the container and some of the logbook have been rather thoroughly nibbled. Photo sent to CO, who was a little envious we had the day for caching, and who will get it sorted soon, but we were still able to place our names in the log and replace as found.
CREEC looks like such an interesting and fun place for kids to learn and enjoy. Nice to see these places becoming a little more common and important in areas these days, to keep kids learning and interested in nature a little more.
Thanks for the cache 4ando.

Found while the geokids played in the nearby park. I worked the true co-ords out but needed a smaller hand to retrieve the cache. With the log signed, the cache was replaced without arousing the nearby family. The cache container is damaged but the log is nice and dry. Thanks for this cache. SL TNLN

This was my chosen launch point for today. A total of 46km with 28 finds, 3 DNF and a few DNLs. I parked the car here and set of on Evie to see what I could find.

Over to the board to collect my numbers. A quick calculation and off to GZ. A bit of circle work to get to the right spot.

This one is ok, but something has munched the container and it really needs replaced.

After consulting the wise amphibian for numbers we headed out. Had a good idea of the cache location but accessing it took a little longer TFTC

The big frog is super cool and i could get all the awnsers for this multi myself which i really liked TFTC

I have walked around this area and found the other caches here, but never had time to find this one. Today, although my caching buddy had already found this one, she agreed to accompany on the walk to find this one. A bit of a search at the final location and my name was soon added tot he logbook. TFTC

My fourth of six multis for the day. Numbers quickly formed and then off for collection. I circled that tree and discounted it a couple of times. Finally I got down on my knees in the wet and saw the little prize. Managed to shove my hand in there and wiggle the cache up!

Lovely area to spend a couple hrs with the family walking along the bush tracks. A nice quick find. Though there seems to have been a little bit of tree clearing in the area where this cache is located. Just a heads up. TFTC

Nice quick find. TFTC,

Well this wasnt the one I had planned for today but as the weather had other ideas I thought this one might be better as just as I headed over to get details the weather changed its mind again, it must be a female, well we do call it Mother Nature lol. With all the details worked out I headed off and of course I did a big wide circle around it until I found something of interest. Once it was found it was quickly signed and replaced and I must have picked the perfect time of day as no one in sight feels so peaceful here I will def be back. TFTC

What's happening to the English language? Back in my day we spelt creek with a "k". None of this new-wave techno or disco approach to spelling. What are our chids being taught at skool?

After dropping my daughter at KMart at Burpengary I whipped out the phone to check for a cache and spotted some familiar COs on this one. I knew I had to get in before it was DNFed and archived.

I only had my sandals on and thought if this is a hike I would have to save it for another day. After gathering the info, I thought go for it. On the walk I couldn't tell if the kids in the playground or the flock of black cockatoos were making the most noise. If I ever do this cache again, I must bring some earplugs. The black cockies were amazing.

After spotting the cache, I had to ask myself what new hell is this? My fat hands couldn't grab it. I then spent about 15-20 minutes trying to get the sucker out. I tried:

1. Chinese chopstick technique - FAIL
2. Mind telepathy - FAIL
3. Skin donation to GZ - PASS
4. Chinese water torture - FAIL?
5. Swearing at the cache - FAIL (but it made me feel good)
6. Tick, dick and flick technique - FAIL

Somehow I finally got the little demon out and rejoiced. To borrow a lingual verse from the CO: I got pissed, wrote a log, fell over and dropped a favourite point in my beer. tftc

Parked up near the CREEC building and found the relevant information we needed to do the cache. Wandered over to GZ and found the cache quite easily but had some difficulty extracting it from its hide. Got there eventually and signed the log. Deserves a favourite point for the heated conversation it caused between myself and geowife trying to retrieve it!! TFTC 4ando

Checked on this one on a morning bike ride, a new cache and log have been put in place and can be continued to be found.

Fund it with bikesu. Tftc

Out with family. Wonderful playground. As we were the only ones, we solved the puzzle and went bush to find the cache. Tftc

Got this one on the second try TFTC

Mrs Just a Trifle was out for a day of fun caching with barbbowman. It was rather hot so we took our time and didn't rush ourselves. We had an interesting mix of finds and enjoyed ourselves tremendously.

This cache was a little tricky to find but we got there in the end. With our names added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you 4ando for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

out with mrs JAT for the day
caught the bus and train up to caboolture and worked our way south

have been wanting to do this one for a while
that frog is way cute

co-ords took us to a placed that looked good and matched a comment in a log
expanded our search
just one more look 'there'
finally dug it up

Have dropped into the CREEC once before and found the final spot for the multi fenced off. Today the area was clear and void of muggles. A short walk from the car park narrowed down the spot and saw the cache in a crevice. Unable to extract the cache by hand, resorted to rubbing two sticks together to tease it out of the hide. With the log signed, its off for some serenity. Thanks for the cache 4ando.

Quick find. All ok. TYFTC

This was our second attempt at this one as it had gone missing. This time we made a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC

Thank you

Tftc

Tftc

Tftc, oh how sneaky had to use twigs like chopsticks to get it out.

Awesome spot

Today I spent a few hours with RhoBoCacher, but she had family duties to go to this afternoon, and I wasn't quite done yet. There's just a few more caches that need smiley-fying

I've been here before when the fences were up, but I had managed to get the info for the final, so today I set off for the walk. Soon I reached GZ, where the cache was in the first spot I looked. Nice to get this one completed, and thanks for doing the maintenance. TFTC, 4ando.

I saw this one come back in action, so I headed here after the work.
I had already done the preliminary work so had the final coordinates in hand.
It was near closing time so I parked outside the gate and made my way in.
I arrived at GZ and soon found the cache but took a little to extract.
Signed the log and returned to its hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks 4ando All good with this cache

Back in action, new cache in place

We are planning on re-instating this cache, the problem is that it has been fenced off temporarilly, so unfortunately we are not able to control the time till it is available again.

We are going out this week to check and hopefully re-instate it soon.

Cheers
Jason

Out and about with Dutchie1950 and her house guests Jamesandmali

After collecting the available caches in this area, we went to the start of this one to see if we could work out GZ. No problems getting the numbers to work, but seeing as there are so many recent DNFs we figured we'd leave it for another day.

Will wait till the temporary fence has been removed.

Revisited this spot while in the area today. GZ is now fenced off, might need to be disabled

All fenced off

After a couple of DNF's and add mine to the list.
I am sure that this one has been muggled.

Searched for a while with friends that had a previous find here with no luck. May need to b checked

We had no luck with this one either. We met up with kdn23 who called a friend they knew who had found the cache - but still no cache was found.

A lovely spot and a fun playground. Today I made light work of picking up the required information. A short stroll and I was at GZ. It didn't take long until the beasty was in hand. I left my scribble and then replaced the cache as it had been found.

Thanks for the cache 4ando

Nice playground, will bring the kids back for some fun. Quick and easy info gathering.
This cache was found in good condition after a short search. Thanks 4ando for showing us this spot. Feel free to discover our trackable code TGQNRV

Managed the cache selection to make number 700 for me not just a traditional. Easy little Multi in the end, and I learnt a lot from the board where the info was.
Off to collect the cache, and success! Signed, sealed and returned. TFTC and bringing us to this park. We will bring others back to see it too.

A quick dash out for a smilie between school drop off and being at home for a delivery on my day off. The information was easy to find and a short walk later the log was being signed. I debated whether to continue for the next 2 new caches, but decided against the possibility of missing the delivery truck [:O)]. Oh well, Miss 11 (out"n"about) can come with me next trip and we can hunt together. Thanks for bringing me back here 4ando, I used to work across the road and loved this peaceful spot. Tftc!

Found the info needed quickly and headed off to GZ. Found the cache surprisingly quickly, it camouflages pretty well. TFTC

Captain Terror and I had decided to drive up to Bribie Island to grab one of the oldest 100 geocaches in Queensland that he really wanted. With spring here and the weather about to get a lot warmer it was soon going to be too hot and busy at the beach for leisurely strolls.

We had left my place and were driving up the highway when my phone started going crazy with notifications. Hmmm Hersien is publishing, we agreed that I would keep an eye on the phone in case there was a new cache on the drive. This multi popped up and shortly the two other traditionals as well. We rather like multis so decided to detour for this one.

After a while we were hopping out of the car and heading over to find out the required info. It didn't take long and soon we had the info we needed. We wandered to the final location and I spotted the container. We signed our names in the *FTF* position and replaced all as found before heading off to grab the other new caches. Thanks for the cache 4ando.
