It is 1:30 am and I am driving by in my truck and there is a parking spot for me. With the CO's permission, I have supplied a new container and cleaned out the crap. The log book is damp, I managed a scribble and left it out of the baggie to dry. I have also left 3 tb's to continue their journey. Thanks for the cache.
This one strewn everywhere. Container non viable. Consolidated as best I could under some heavier branches
Both Willis007 and I had solved the 7 series of caches, so we decided it was time to find them. I had never been to this park before so there were lots of trads for me to find too. The broken container and its contents were found wrapped in plastic along with a couple of large huntsmen spiders who have made their home here. Considering the condition of the cache, the logbook is in fairly good condition. Tftc

Part of one of my goals is to diminish the unsmiling faces owned by mates and today I was on uber duties in this part of the world, so time to target this one. Got a great park nearby and quickly had ... well whatever this is - in my hands. Container needs a little love I think - although all is in perfect condition otherwise. Signed and moved on.
Thanks Crew 153 for entertaining me at this location.

*{Overall find #11449}* Thank you for making this geocache it had a lot of items but they where quite old
You just have to love a south east Queensland winter, whilst the mornings can be cool the days are often bright and pleasing and a trip over to the south side to find caches is a lovely way to spend a morning.
After finding an appropriate spot to park the geowagon, I walked over to collect the prize. It was soon found, log extracted and signature added before returning safely for the next cacher to find.
Very pleased to be able to turn this cache into a yellow smilie and off of search of my next adventure.
A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.

I have become a lazy fat so and so. So in an effort to up my step count, on a slow Sunday morning, I looked to some southside hills for a bit of exercise. Unfortunately, I hadn't solve all the puzzles in the Belmont bushland, but I don't mind having to come back later. I sure can use the hill climb!
This traditional was published after I visited the growing stable of horses and I haven't been back caching in the area since. On my wanders today, I got corralled here.
Then old container is now in pieces and the remnant of the cache including the logbook is tucked away in a couple of plastic bags. The logbooks are surprisingly dry, but probably won't remain that way for long. This one needs a little love.
Enjoyed my walk here and being all fenced in at GZ, I certainly understand the idea behind the cache. Many thanks Crew153

Needs a ned container
Was disappointed to see it looked like rubbish.
On inspection I deduced that it was provided by a well meaning cacher to protect it

Found with family. Very damaged and damp. Mouldy log book. Requires maintenance.
Poking around the map in new and exciting ways, I looked at this icon on the map. A Crew 153 hide not so far from home. And when I zoomed in, right along a route I drive at least weekly. How had I failed to identify this before? At least I was familiar with the area and knew off the off-ramp I usually take is a little parking area and gate. I have seen after heavy rain wide holes open up there, so as long as there's none of that nonsense, we'll be fine.
On my way to a "run around the park" event that reminds me a lot of geocaching but is certainly not geocaching, I could pass this area for a quick warm-up and do some actual geocaching. With nobody behind me, I pulled onto the soft shoulder and parked adjacent to the gate. Turns out, I was way closer than I anticipated I would be. Like, less than fifty metres. I decided to mentally pronounce this geocache name as a heavy US accent would pronounce the name Karl. I amuse me.
Well, easy then. I headed across the gully, up the hill and through the gate. It was a very short walk along the gravel to GZ. The geocache hide was obvious and as I got close, I learned why. A plastic sheet is draped over the geocache to keep it dry. For inside, there is only multiple pieces of a very broken geocache. Sadly, the logbook was wet.
I had nothing on me to help, so simply gathered what I could neatly and made sure the plastic sheet won't blow away or get the geocache wet in the next shower. Sorry to say, but this geocache needs to be replaced. But, it's not about the plastic container, and I had enjoyed this little discovery and short warm-up before my run. Plus grabbed a bunch of rubbish from near my car to CITO away. Thanks for this geocache, Crew 153

Today, following a morning Kelvin Grove parkrun, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I went out for shopping and errands, and then headed to Belmont Hills Reserve on the south side for a walk around the area. The Q100 oldie [Belmont Bushland](https://coord.info/GCGHDB) had brought us to the area, but a couple of hours spent walking around, spotting wallabies and kangaroos, made it an enjoyable afternoon wander.
We took a short cut through the main trees to join up with this track, obviously passing through webs and spiders, but we were treated to a couple of wallabies that baby Warren seemed to enjoy. At least we found the fence end that we moved around, and then soon found the cache. I did appreciate the interesting analogy to the corral. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Crew 153 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

It’s bit of a disappointment when you see a cache in this condition. Photo taken and sent to CO.

First cache in years and years. Taking the kids out and showing them what it’s all about
Was in town and I knew I had a gap to fill. Thought this one would be easy to get. However I had to park a fair way from it, Found the bag with the damaged container, signed the log and wrapped it up again. Will need someone to replace the container
It’s much easier to walk in the path than to bash through the bush. This one also needs some maintenance and the lid is broken. But it was good easy cache
Circumnavigating this area with NurseyJulie picking up the 7 puzzles, I ducked over here to grab this one while not too far away. Not sure initially what side of the fence I should be on, I has approached from the South, so had to go around to snare the container. [^]
A quick find once in location though and my name was swiftly in the log.
The container lid can no longer be secured as all the tabs have gone. While it may be somewhat protected from the elements given the way it is hidden, it could use replacing to keep it watertight.
Cheers Crew153.

To escape the madness that is the US election I thought I’d come spend some time in the Belmont Bushland...
This was the next find for me... the lid is no longer attachable but someone has kindly wrapped the cache in plastic...
The log was a little damp so I’ve replaced the snap lock bag and added some silica to help with the damp...
It wasn’t until I was re-wrapping the cache that I noticed the rather large guardian that was enjoying the plastic... I may or may not have squealed and dropped/thrown everything... tftc...

Headed out for a day of caching with KerriMG, and I suggested we head out this way. We took the long walk in and once at GZ it’s hard to miss the cache. TFTC Crew 153
I've been working full time recently so haven't been able to make my usual caching Thursday with nikid1. Luckily we managed to line our schedules up today so headed out for a morning walk & cache hunt. Last time we were over this way it was a very hot day & after making the finds in the more central area of the reserve we didn't have the energy to get to this one. Today however it was third on our hit list & still nice & cool. Nikid1 made the find here & did the signing duties.

The log is saturated and it was not wrapped in the plastic bag so it needs maintenance. Otherwise, an easy find. TFTC
After finding a nearby oldie for the Oldest and Finest challenge, I decided to continue through the Belmont Bushland to find some of the other caches. Being a visitor here as I don't often get an opportunity to venture across the river, I thought I would make the most of it today.
A quick find at GZ today, log signed and all replaced as found, we headed off to the next cache.
Thanks for the cache Crew 153, all is well with it.

I frequently exit the Gatepost south and head onto Old Cleverland road on my way home. Every time I think about this cache - "I must look for it one day." Today I did look. Parked just off the slip road, and wandered up the track, confronted by TWO gates. Managed to struggle over, and soon reached GZ and the cache. No swaps today as this find was a bit of an impulse stop. Put my moniker in the log and replaced. The container seems to have lost any clip fastening it may have had, but seems like it still keeps the water out. TFTCF, Crew 153. I really should wander though the nearby bushland and round up those other equine offerings.

Container needs maintenance because lid is broken.
Heaps of goodies in this one.

This is my first week of 4 weeks holidays and I decided to take my mountain bike for a ride around here. This was my 10th found out of 11 found around here today. I was lucky enough to spot this cache quickly. Thankyou for placing this cache here for us to enjoy .
No idea what the hint meant, but no worries, still found it, albeit driftwood around the place. Signed log and continued on my merry way. Tftc
I know there is closer parking but I liked the .
From the Saddle I went x country until I met up with the path, which I then followed. As soon as I saw the 'corral' gates I knew I was near.
Cache here is well stocked and although lid not closing contents are dry. Swap was made before signing log and replacing all as found.

For a moment l, seeing the wrapping, I thought I’d stumbled upon something else. But it turned out to be the cache.

This was a lovely walk on my day off. Day six of the seven day streak souvenir hunt is complete. All is good with the cache. Log signed, and it’s tucked up nice and snug covered with camo. TFTC
Some caches on my way home today.
Light traffic and I was soon here.
Good parking just meters from the cache.
The lid is broken but the inside dry
Thank you for this one
