Due to council, cache is now gone. However, i got permission from owner to log this cache. <3
I had been to this cache some time ago, but there had been too many muggles here to search. I was hoping that today, the storm would keep them away. I parked the geomobile next to GZ. With only one or two muggle about, we were able to search easily. Unfortunately, it seems the council have carried out some trimming works here and have taken the cache too. I am logging this as a find with the permission of the CO. TFTC
On a roll this morning. 2 for 2. Could not log because 1) did not have a pen and 2) muggles were close by.
Found while on a geocaching holiday with tmann421.
Enjoyed the trip around and all the great hides.

Needing one more gem for the mystery at the museum, I had to drive further afield to find a cache we hadn't found.
Stopped here to find this one after a dnf earlier but this was a quick find even with many people here playing the various sports. Log signed and returned as found.

Have come a few times in the past to find this one but I've never attempted it because the park had always been really busy on those visits...Today there was no one here and the cache was quickly in hand...TFTC!
A quick visit to the general area.
Found this one at T=1 and another failed part at the same coordinates.
The geotoolbox in the car came in handy and I could quickly to proper repairs to the cache.
Log dry and cache back in the intended location.
Thank you for this cache RoddyC

Quick find here, I love these hides that people must walk right past so often! On the wander to another cache nearby E spotted a fruit tree growing a fruit I’d never even heard of - looked like a tomato but she said it tasted more like a sweet pear.. I learnt something new and will keep an eye out for it next time I’m at the fruit markets!

Quick stop here on my way to work. Managed to avoid the prying eyes of the muggles playing tennis. TFTC!
Another cache found before it got to hot. Looked here and looked there before being found. TFTC
Today I met up with joojoo57 and Richmond Lad to solve some puzzles and gather some caches. As I arrived joojoo had a list of 9 caches we all needed to get, and suggested heading out the door straightaway as the day was expected to heat up! I didn't need any more encouragement
joojoo made this almost a drive by, parking just a couple of metres from GZ . The cache was quickly in hand. TFTC, RoddyC.

Out caching this morning with IolantheK and Richmond Lad before heading heading inside later on when the day gets a bit warmer.
A little look here, a little look there and it was eventually spotted. Thanks RoddyC.

Catching up on the logging as I always seem to be doing!
Glad it was a night time visit as it was still tricky with passing muggles but got the little monkey in the end.
All good here.

Today’s plan was to get a few caches to accumulate more of the souvenirs available for the Hidden Creatures challenge. Met up with gunnie69 at Logan Central to continue our plan for the day. The journey today made our way form Logan Central down to the Loganholme Hyperdome.
Cache 23 of 27 for the day.
Thanks RoddyC for the hunt and the cache!

On the last handful of caches on this mornings run, Ghostgums and I arrived to find this place buzzing with muggles. Thankfully, they were all over in the play areas and not affecting the hunt.
Ghostgums spotted the container and nabbed it to extract the log. Log in hand, he added our names and quickly returned as found. Time to move on. [^]
Cheers RoddyC.

Got to GZ and this is all we found...New container and logbook required please and thank you, Rod
Seemed like a simple one with the clue but I think someone must of moved it. Unable to find
Looked in all the usual spots but could not find this cache.

I am here from New Zealand staying with my sister in Shailer Park. This was our last find of the day today on our way home from going to Garden City Mall (OMgosh) and Jimboomba (we visited Mondaze - wow!!!) A quick find for us and we were off home for a swim. TFTC
With a free day, a plan was hatched to ride my new Merida around Karawatha, followed by a few hours touring around the suburbs of Logan.
Thanks for the hunt **RoddyC**, this find makes #4171. Discover our TB

Awesome to find a new cache. Wasn't expecting it so we didn't have a pencil to sign the log.
Over visiting from NZ and had just a couple of hours this morning, before heading off south, so what better to do, than look for some RoddyC caches close to our accommodation, as I had really enjoyed finding some others by this CO earlier in our trip.
Fourth up was this one and I made my way to the hint area and sat down, whilst a group of muggles played basketball nearby. A bit of surreptitious searching with my left hand, soon located the cache, which turned out to be just a regular one. Oh, well, I guess they can't all be special. TFTC

Sunday Afternoon park crawl thanks to parks and recreation. Number 2. Cache was on the ground so wasn't sure where to return it to exactly... TFTC.
There were council workers on the tennis courts and muggles on the equipment. Luckily, I could sit as per the hint and find the cache without anyone taking any notice of me.

The park was maxed out today! But I don't think anyone noticed us take our positions
Stopped off here for lunch, so naturally I had to sit right beside the cache, tftc RoddyC
On my way to work this morning and needed to grab this cache on my way, so I allowed enough time for my search
Luckily the hint was very helpful here, but my fingers must be too fat as I couldn't reach the cache container. I improvised by pushing a stick through from the front to push the container close enough for my fingers to grasp it [^]
Log signing duties completed and cache returned to its hiding spot
Then I was off to work with plenty of time to spare, thankful for being able to keep my daily streak running a bit longer

Visited this afternoon now all is dry and sunny. The original cache was missing after the water had been through, so a new cache and nice clean log book are awaiting the next finder.
Only one find on the way home form my ride today. I did have two others planned, but an early start meant an early finish to the ride. GZ for my first planned one was too busy for my liking.
No worries with muggles here. Had the whole park to myself.
I remember stumbling around in the dark here once before. One of my very few FTF hunts that I actually went out for on purpose. I arrived to an empty park that night, but was soon joined by Captain Terror. The young Terror laid hands on the cache that night, but very graciously suggested the sharing of the FTF. [^]
My GPSr was still catching up with me when I got near GZ. It had reached 0m, but I was firmly in the middle of a patch of concrete. As I was deciding if the cache would be over there or over here the needle swung and 3m appeared. Over there it is then.
A nice quick find thanks.

Heading home after a few days away & we thought 'Why not grab a few caches on the way?'
A few muggles were firmly entrenched here when we arrived but they weren't the least bit interested in us or our antics.
I decided to step outside the box & go for it RIGHT HANDED just to be different.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Waiting for SES training 500m up the road, thought even though I was most definitely not dressed for it, that I'd see if I could grab this one quickly. Yup! Quick easy find!!! TFTC!
Out for the day with RoddyC to find a few caches.
This was one of the CO's caches that we called in to see if the log was wet.
I headed over to GZ to see if I could find the cache and soon I was able to put the cache in my hand.
Signed the log and it was checked by the CO.
Added to the container.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks RoddyC All good with this cache

Easy find as it was lying on ground behind rock. Log wet/damp and all the writing/ink is running, can hardly read. TFTC
**FTF** we had been here before for a puzzle cache and new where to go ,signed log and returned to hide TFTC
