this one has been archived due to it going missing after a check this morning

My afternoon riding home from Rock Riverside Park was now sliding sideways. I'd found 2 stuvic caches, skipped 2 and now a full-blown DNF. I don't DNF unless I have tried multiple times, as a rule. And I confess this was my second shot at this one. I had popped past yesterday whilst the kid was at martial arts.

Now I know that stuvic is a tricky hider so I could be wrong. But I reckon I have forensically examined every part of this bridge. Including the old borescope trick with the mobile phone camera. There is evidence of teenage delinquency here so I humbly request the CO checks and confirms if its there? I'll watch keenly with the logs in case anyone else finds it prior.

Started our morning of steamy, humid caching here. Bridges are always a hit with the eldest GeoSon, so thanks go to stuvic for making our morning with some great GZ’s.

Weedled through the weeds from our parking spot and made our way to the bridge. Vividly remember this gym going under in the ‘11 Floods and our days in the Mud Army. Will never forget the sickly sweet scent of ripe, putrefied mud as long as I live.

A brief checking of the coords as well as some scrambling ensured we came up with the goods. The webs and local guardians provided nice natural camouflage/security !

Not a muggle in sight which made for a quick SLRL.

TFTC

Looked and looked and couldn't find amongst cobwebs and plants and cigarette buts

But of scrabbling to get this one. Almost put off by resident reptile. TFTC

While retrieving a muggle came, sat down, lit a cigarette, looked Athi’s phone - totally oblivious to my presence. I came out of hiding after signing the log and replacing the cache. The muggle liked at me as if to say, “what’s an old bloke like you doing under there?” Tftc

Headed to Jindalee for an event and to collect a few easy caches.
My coordinates were out but reading an earlier log sent me in the right direction

Thank you for this cache stuvic

Time for Mrs VC to get Mr VC & Winter the Geo-Cat out of the house for some fresh air so a-caching we must go!
Having no idea where Mrs VC had in mind for today I just drove where the GPSr indicated & let Mrs VC have her way with me.
This was the tenth of 11 caches found today.

A 250 metre walk from where we had parked the Geo-Beast soon had Mrs VC at GZ where the cache was quickly found, as were numerous empty cigarette packets & piles of spent cigarette bumpers.
Having no bag or gloves Mrs VC decided not to CITO here but it certainly could do with some cleaning up.
It looks like this is the 'Smoko' area for the district.

Made our mark & replaced as found.

Looked in alot of places could not find it this time

Couldn't see a cache

I couldn't spot it today. Need to come back.

Easy one. not. tftc

The GPS pointed me on the correct side of the bridge & after a little bit of looking around, saw it poking out. TFTC

I remember this old (now rusty) bridge from my childhood days of mum playing tennis here. Didn't help with the find though, coords had us on the bridge/off the bridge, and we gave the whole area a good look, with no luck.

TFTC

This took us two tries but we found it in the end. The GPS spot definitely helped. There’s space for little collectibles in the cache. TFTC!

We literally hate bridges

Yep, we got physical and trotted off to find this one after the event at Jindalee. Patrol14 made the find here.
All good here.
TFTC stuvic

After the Catchup at the nearby hotel, echocage1 and I went in search of a few caches in the area.
We had a DNF on this one from March so was keen to find this one.
Looked at all the likely hides and after a short while pulled this one out from its hidey hole.
Lots of spider webs here and made quick work of signing the log and replacing it back.

TFTC stuvic

Found with the geokids after a swimming lesson nearby. We'd tried this one a few times before, but couldn't give it our full attention because of some muggles. Came up trumps this time, though! TFTC!

Third for the afternoon. TFTC

Lived here a long time and had no idea that this place was here! TFTC !

After finding another one not too far away at a nearby bridge, we crossed the previous bridge and then walked on down to this one. There is certainly water below us, although it is flowing very slowly. It is very peaceful area given how close we are to a main road. We wondered under and over and with a little persistence soon had what we were seeking. I lovely afternoon walk in the late spring. It’s great to be doing a bit of geocaching before the summer heat sets in.
Thanks stuvic

Domsky

Took two of us a decent while, but being more vertically challenged than Ferg48, it was me who made the find. TFTC!

Extremely obvious once I'd found it, after searching for ages in all the other 'obvious' spots!!! TFTC

Took a bit of searching until we spotted the obvious.
TFTC

took us a little while but yes similar to other one nearby. TFTC

DNF but will be back to try again soon.

I was looking for the cache for a long time but I couldn’t locate it. My GPS showed me a spot a couple of meters away from the hide. I left and found other caches in this area, so I went back and found it very quickly as stuvic gave me a hint and I was used to the hides and containers on/under the bridges here. Tftc

Found without too much trouble. There used to be tennis courts next to the highway where I learnt to play tennis. That’s what the bridge was for. I remember seeing an exhibition match there once between Allan Langer and Allan Border

drop by for a quick check on this one and it is still in place

DNF

Out and about in this area for a walk and to find a few caches.
Hubby went in search of this one while I stayed with the geo-hounds.
Unfortunately he didn't find this one.
Lot of litter around and must be a smoking location as lots of butts here too.
Will have to return for another look.

Had us stumped today

Found with E(: whilst on our way to meeting up with some other geo friends in the next suburb. Nice hide and no muggles around today, thanks stuvic and TFTC

Smiley #1811 Found 18 January 2018 7:21 am

Out and about with Snickersallan today. Had 35 caches on our list. We're meeting RoddyC at 9am nearby so we started with this one.

Muggle was smoking and busy checking her smartphone near gz so we were able to physically check the bridge. Took awhile to spot but got the smiley eventually.

TFTC stuvic. All good with this cache.

There were no folk/watchers sitting on yonder balcony this morning, and Mrs George came along as an extra pair of eyes. One wonders why this bridge was ever built as it seems to connect nowhere to nowhere else, but I guess the original developer thought it was a good idea at the time.
Had sniffed around here a couple of times briefly without success, but today, looking in the right direction from just the place needed, managed to spot something. Soon Mrs George retrieved the container, and we inscribed our name. TFTC, stuvic.

??

Very similar to another one nearby

Tftc

Found it cool TFTC

Tried to seek for about 30mins with no joy. First cache for awhile so bit rusty!

Found it. All good here.
Thanks stuvic.

If you get at the right angle - it is easy!

TFTC

Nice and easy to access on the bike today. Rode right to GZ.

GREAT

Never been this area

Got it all good TFTC

On the way home from a nice hike and took the opportunity to call in and get 'Physical' with this one. It didn't take too long to get into a position to be able to see it, and then show a muggle friend how a bit about geocaching.
No worries today, not sure how one of these ever went missing (my DMF last time), but all good now. Thanks for replacing it stupid.

Looked for around 20mins but couldn't find.

Quick easy find

I parked at the nearby car park and wondered over to GZ with the hubby in tow in case he was required . However at GZ, I found I could access the cache no worries, so I sent my support crew back to the car as I signed the log. Tftc.

We're loving this area and will return again another day to hunt for the other caches here!

I parked in the shopping centre and headed down the footpath and found that I had to head into what appears to be a forgotten bit of territory.

I headed to the search area and it took a bit of physical contortion before I spotted the cache.

TFTC stuvic

This cache been returned and ready to be found

Finally got round checking on this one needs some matanice will get up running very soon

Olivia would not be happy with me - obviously I need to be more visual and less physical - I count see it today.

TFTC...23/1/17. Out on Tough Mothers' Monday. Sneaky. Probably where expected although took a while to find.

Great spotting by mnance101 out with misssusan and remsjw

Out caching with misssusan, Bennyboppers and Remsjw. Sneaky hide. TFTC!

Found with Remsjw, bennyboppers and mnance101. Took a bit of searching!

Sneaky little sucker! No 2 for the day.. the family and I are having a blast exploring our local area!

Know I had the right spot, but 20 minutes of searching didn't turn up anything remotely cache-like for me. We'll try again another day!

Out and about in the area for another big day or geocaching.
I parked close by and walked past the pool with the music going.
Another quick find.
Thanks for the cache.

Loving early finishes oon Friday. It gives me time to do things, like cache. Today, after work, I met up with Mr and Mrs RoddyC to find a few caches. This was the next on our list. We parked the car and wandered over to GZ. There, the cache was located after a short search. TFTC

Like many others I seem to have a knack of finding the most difficult way to GZ only to find a much easier way to make my way back out. At least I managed to find this one quite quickly which consoled me a bit. Seems I'm not the only one to visit this one today. TFTC

Another Friday afternoon geocaching with Selva Girls to search out some fun. This time we had just a few hours to turn green spots into yellow smileys. It was quite a warm, humid day, and the heat did slow us down quite a bit, I feel.

GPSrs took us to the right spot but nt quite quickly enough - Mrs RoddyC trolled the cache before our GPSrs could settle!

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 4.20pm on 11th November, 2016. TFTC

Quick find after swimming lessons. Find number 100

Quick find here. Cute little bridge in a very odd spot with the new developments nearby! TFTC

Why is there a bridge?!

The deck was empty so I quickly ducked to grab the cache.

TFTC

Tftc

Heading south on a solo run today.

I had the place to myself today and had a pleasant wander to GZ. It's handy bridge And the cache was a quick find once I was in the right spot. TFTC, stuvic.

Thankfully, I did not suffer the same fate as TrickyT and had no observers around GZ today... [^] So, after ensuring I was at the right end of the bridge, I moved into the spot where I figured the cache would likely be, then shuffled around to make a quick find... [^]

All nicely tucked out of sight, I extracted the log and added my name, before tucking everything back on place and reappearing in the real world...

Cheers stuvic.

(Sorry for the delayed log - am catching up on caching things tonight)
Living on the Sunshine Coast, but studying down Ipswich direction, I am often staying at a friend's or two in the Brisbane region. As a result when I am driving to work I regularly drive past this place and wonder if there may be any caches about. Today was a slow morning and I didn't feel like driving much, so I thought it would make a perfect morning to stop and check if there were any caches here.

After finding the other cache (to which I now cannot get the song out of my head) I rounded back towards the carpark and decided to keep walking along to this cache. I meandered my way along and eventually found the right spot. There was no one around this area today so my path was clear. I still took quite some time to enjoy my little resting spot at GZ. I tried scribing my name but just at that moment my pen died/exploded so I used what ink I could scrape from the inside of the pen casing to smudge what I could of my name on the paper.
Thanks for the cache stuvic. I believe I have a photo somewhere if proof of me being here is needed, however the smudgy writing is me (I think I shortened my name to just 'pt')

Back for another go here, and blow me down there's a group sitting on the back deck sipping their coffee. Obviously a popular spot for staff. I wandered over the bridge and took great interest in the trees and birds, snapping photos here and there. A few watchers wandered off and the remaining couple had their back to me so a quick disappearing act and log is signed. All good here thanks stuvic.

Found with stairman1 and geodog. Decided to try out the new Pokemon Go App. Chasing pokemans while chasing caches. No one around today so easy to find the container.All good here. TFTC

Found with goldielover while out walking the geohound. A few muggles around today but all clear at GZ. Nice quick find. cache in great condition
TFTC

A wet and rainy Saturday afternoon and I did not want to stay out and do lots of caching in this. I parked in the top car park as I was not too sure why the parking co-ords were so far away. As I pulled up I saw the bridge and did wonder why it was here? Over I went and down I went too and a little bend of the neck and spotted the container. TFTC stuvic

A tough cache

Today was just not my day for caching. Did a bit of clambering to get to the back of the facility and spotted the bridge. Ah this looks nice and secluded. Reached the bridge only to find a chap sitting there having a smoke. Obviously not a fitness activity. Walked across the bridge and saw it goes nowhere. Hung about till it started to rain. That should chase him away. But no he just moved to a higher deck, got under an umbrella and sat watching me. Another one for another day. Time to go I'm afraid, so will have to finish these off another time. Thanks stuvic

This was next on the list and is next to the place where my kids used to go for swimming lessons. I reminisced about the day in January 2011 when I arrived with the kids to be told the pool was closed because of impending flooding. I scoffed! But within 48 hours, these buildings were indeed submerged.
We parked very near the GZ (not sure why parking over the road is indicated) and figured we had to be on the far side of the creek, so took the long way around, only to arrive and find there is a bridge in place after all. D'oh!
We then went along, under and all over before KUW produced the goods from a likely spot at 2317 and chalked up another *FTF* for the good guys. Naturally we took the bridge route back which was faster but not necessarily much flatter.
PS there are plenty of goodies in the cache but no logbook so we improvised tonight. TFTC.

Log been replace and names have been written on the new log

We parked quite close and then took a scenic walk to the cache. It looked to both of us that it was listed in the creek so we were pretty happy to see a bridge just there! I should probably have known there was a bridge there, but somehow I've never been to this spot before.

In any case we started looking here and there and not too long later I noticed a tidy cache in a good spot. Signing up was a little interesting because in all the excitement someone forgot to put the log book in the cache .

All good with an improvised version and we were on our way.

Thanks for another fun cache guys.
