Due to the flood in Brisbane in Feb 22 the floods have washed away this cache

Out and about away from home doing another type of adventure and thought we’d check for nearby caches. Felt a bit lost at first but once I spotted a likely GZ it was a quick find. Dropped off a trackable. TFTC!

Thanks for the find!

Came at this one from the bridge, so I spotted the dirt trail before getting to GZ.

Followed the dirt trail and discovered it didn’t lead to the cache. Looped back around on the walkway and the cache was quickly found.

TFTC!

In the area today and decided some caching was in order. A lovely spot for a little stroll after a decadent breakfast nearby. I spottedcthe cache in the likely spot. I also dropped a trackable hete to continue on its way. Tftc stuvic

Thanks for the cache along this nice path. Part of our doing a cache a day stint. Liked the song too Wink

Today on this sunny and hot day, my solo geocaching expedition took me to the area of Jindalee and Sinnamon Park. I began my day at Mount Ommaney Bushland Reserve, which was a pretty nice walk along Brisbane River. I then made my way around Westlake and then Riverhills, completing *Parks of Centenary* Adventure Lab. After grabbing a late bakery lunch, I made a loop back towards Mount Ommaney and Sinnamon Park, where I completed the *Sinnamon Park Historical Tour* Adventure Lab. I closed out my day making a stop at Rocks Riverside Park, where the *Industrial Disease* Wherigo allowed me to have a walk around that area.

This was a classic example of a shortcut taking way longer than the normal way! I took the unofficial walking track above this cache, and then cut through the trees, which made me start to search around there. I wasn't having luck, other than getting some odd looks from passing walkers wondering what I was doing. I was about ready to give up when I back tracked along the main path and started to read past logs and photos, trying to find something in the landscape that matched. I soon found something that resembled a hint to the geocache's name, and from there, the cache was found. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I did think that the coordinates were about 10 m out for me today. Thanks stuvic for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Got it! Lovely.

I picked a great time to look for this cache. Popped by on the drive home this afternoon in search of an I. After letting a few school-aged muggles walk a good distance ahead of me, I set down the path. About 15m off, I realised I was probably on the wrong track and set back around the bend. Once I had GZ in sight, I could make sense of the clue. In the carpark at my previous find, I had wondered whether this is what the clue meant. Not quite how I imagined it, but nice to see these noticed and to see a cache placed here.

As I signed the log, a woman passed me on the track below. Safe to say I wasn't the most stealthy here, but I certainly didn't overstay my welcome once I had it signed.

TFTC.
 
21-Apr-21
Found while out running and walking along the river. I’ve never been on these other so it was great that geocaching brought me somewhere new. TFTC
 
06-Apr-21
This one was nearby to the previous find so we couldn't leave it. Our last one for the day before heading back to Toowoomba. Thanks again, stuvic.
 
06-Apr-21
With this one so close to the previous one we decided to head on down the path to collect. Once at GZ Eskies5 and I only need a short search before we came up with the hide. TFTC stuvic
 
28-Feb-21
A really quick find with good coordinates TFTC
 
22-Feb-21
Had a little spare lunch time so had a look around the area and saw that this one was sitting unfound on my list. Found a car parking spot in the shade at the small bridge. Was quite surprised at how high up this structure was. Counted down the metres and spotted what I thought the clue might be referring to. A very quick off path dash and the cache was found. Off to a nearby seat for signing and all replaced quite quickly. The log book is dry and cache is well hidden. I picked up a trackable which I will move on as soon as I can. Thanks very much for the cache Stuvic. Cheers
 
27-Jan-21
Out for a quiet walk today - added bonus of a cache. Cache was visible, now tucked away from view. TFTC stuvic. Can tick off another one.

Finding a few caches at places in Jindalee we never knew existed. Great path and view of the river. Thanks StuVic.
 
06-Sep-20
Out and about this morning watching niece's and nephews footy games, a good chance to catch up with the fathers in my family for their special day. I had a couple of spare hours in between games, hmmm, what to do …..

My phone had me everywhere, I did meet a super cute critter along the way. A read of some previous logs gave me some direction, I soon had the cache in hand. Log signed, cache replaced as found.

Thanks StuVic for the cache, all is well with it.
 
30-Aug-20
dropped my husband and 2 sons at the gabba to watch an afl game and decided to ride my bike around here. All up I found 8 caches, 8km in 2 hours. This was my 2nd find and I started singing the song in my head luckily for others. I went a long way up then long way down then I spotted this cache. Thanks for the fun
 
17-Aug-20
Hubby had to head over to this side of town so I tagged along & we went for a stroll along the river to find a few caches on our way home. This was our second for the day & hubby made the find but I had to retrieve the cache, lucky there were no nasty guardians.

I've been slowly and steadily clearing up the map close to home. So many caches have popped up in my terrain in the last few years. I stopped past this one in the early evening with the dog this week. I like the ritual of grabbing a cache after work. It's a nice end to the day.

It was lightly sprinkling that evening but surprisingly it didn't stop the muggles out for their exercise. There was even one guy jogging in the rain at night without any head torch. Just relying on the tiny solar lights embedded into the footpath for direction, I guess. I watched him disappear into the blackness puffing like a freight train. I hope he doesn't trip on this surface.

The light sprinkle of rain was enough to stop my pen from working that night. I tried in vain to get it working, scribbling all over the place. In the end, I had to be satisfied with an etch of 5M on the log as proof of my visit. TFTC stuvic!
 
30-May-20
Tricky find cos the gps was taking us to different places in different devices not sure why but we found it eventually
 
19-May-20
Sweet. Took a goat, left some rings.
 
11-Feb-20
Took me a lot longer than it should have! Tftc
 
02-Jan-20
Came down from the Secret Bridge to see if we could shoot for ‘just one more’. GeoSon enjoyed ‘fishing’ in trees for spiderwebs as Dadda Chappy, once again, did the scrabbling , scrambling and scraping.

Ever concentric circles were made until the GPS finally decided to play ball . Grabbed, signed and added a bit more camo upon replacement.

Also noted that a TB had been physically placed here but not logged into the cache (as it was officially ‘empty’) . Discovered said TB, logged it into our possession and will check it into the Royal Riverside TB Hotel shortly .

Thanks for a great morning, CO, and TFTC

Always careful before searching for caches in places like this, what a great hidey-hole for a snake

21-Apr-19
Dropped over from the northside to collect a cache with this particular hidden date to fill in the stats chart. After a failure to secure 'the hole in the bucket' with a constant stream of muggles going past, knew there were two others with this particular date I needed on the otherside of the highway.

The song is memorable as it was the first song on the first album I'd ever bought. It ended up being my first album that went missing, either I loaned it to a mate or I'd left it behind at a party after too many beers. It is the only album missing from my vinyl collection, collecting dust in a cupboard. Anyways, it was well and truly played, over and over again.

Approaching GZ spotted what the hint was referring to. Then it was a matter of blowing the wind up each one to see what popped out. Thanks for placing this mini music series stuvic.

Find #2607
Visiting my parents in my old tramping grounds, and we're off to find some local caches with TeamBarritts. Found about 10m back towards the bridge after widening our search radius and spotting a likely cover structure.... TFTC

Walked here from another cache close by. Out to find some caches for the new year. A short search and then adjusted where we searched and we had the cache in hand. Signed log, picked up 2 TB's & replaced as found. TFTC Smile
 
10-Oct-18
Quickly saw the potential spots for this one and had the container in hand shortly after. The clue wasn't instrumental (so to speak) in me making the find, but it was a nice one in any case. Thanks for the cache, stuvic.

We continued our walk along this lovely bike path, enjoying all the views of the river and some pretty lovely Real Estate close by. At GZ, we were not sure how high we needed to go, but with a little commonsense soon found what we were looking for. A beautiful area and we thank you for hitting us this way.
Thanks stuvic

After finding the cache on the bridge, I was looking for this one. The location is obvious but you don‘t know which one has the cache Tftc
 
19-May-18
Finally found a container big enough for TBs. Dropped two in. Not sure how the hint applies though.
 
05-May-18
That took a bit of looking but we finally found it Good one. Smile

Found with stairman1. We had no intention of geocaching but couldn’t resist the urge of looking at the app. 20 metres away. The description said bring your own writing tool. Well there were plenty of writing tools around if you know where to look Names signed in mud.TFTC

A quick and easy find although bossman was the one climbing up and down the hill not the kids. I thought finding this would be a pipe dream. No pen so we took photo proof

I’m having a Jindalee caching day today. I felt a bit like the grand old duke of York with this one but finally found what I was looking for. TFTC!
 
20-Oct-17
Found but my compass needle was erratic too plus I had a geodog on leash yanking in opposite direction and was not in appropriate caching gear (i.e. Birkenstocks, a skirt and long hair getting caught in everything). That all being said, lovely place with a bridge I didn’t know existed!

I took the zigzag track to the area and then started searching where my GPS was indicating but there was nothing there so I widened the search area and worked my way though all the likely hiding spots until I found the one where the cache was located. The GPS was telling me I was 8m away from where I had started.

Nice hide left some swaps as there were none in there
 
14-May-17
Out and about on this overcast Mothers Day with the boys in tow.

Found a nearby park and took a lovely stroll through the bike way here. A bike muggle was doing laps I think?! Anyway off I went thinking about the clue as I went and had an idea what I might be looking for.

I loved GZ, just the kind of place that holds great possibilities! In the second place I looked, I was rewarded with what I was seeking from the clue .

I was able to sign the log and replace before the bike muggle returned .

Out and about for a short amble today, trying to build up to some longer walks soon. After a couple of false spots, finally spotted this one. TFTC, Stuvic.
