Back again and still no love. Since there have been a few dnf's in a row a CO check might be in order?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

DNF again. Tried finding it about a year ago. Still no luck.

I visited this one for a second time today, once again waiting for my muggle partner to finish a job nearby. Last time I sat at gz for over half an hour with a PAF, and another 20 minutes today, but no cache Will put this one on watch for now, must be too good for me!

Spent a good 10 mins feeling all over the obvious and perhaps less obvious items at GZ. Nothing of interest located.

Chermside at Christmas... I'd been here earlier in the day and decided it was too hectic to try, but came back tonight after dinner nearby to find it much quieter. I really liked the information you gave about the tram lines, and I kind of wish we still had horse-drawn trams rather than the modern equivalents I saw here today. Still, there are other issues with horses, right? Found eventually; I never was quick at finding these wee things. Log book needs replacing - squished initials into a tiny space. TFTC, Mr Jaiger. =^.^=

very tiny bb in a very tiny space

Took a seat & felt around - even used my torch....but nothing

Found at night. Low traffic. Log too full to sign but see photo.

On the way home from an orienteering morning. Stopped in to pick up some groceries and could not resist picking this one up. Rested near to the spot and "talked on the phone" whilst locating the cache and ignoring the numerous muggles. Interesting history. The log is totally full and desperately needs to be replaced.
TFTC

This cache desperately needs maintenance - new log required.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Log was unsignable

Found on an evening our

Log needs to be replaced in a major way! The paper is so weathered that even when I found the smallest bit of blank space, the pen couldn’t write on it. Photo for proof. TFTC, tho!

We will have to come back. The security guards were straight on me. Hello sir hello sir what are you looking for. Said I’m fine off to the next one.

Díky za kešku, pozdrav z České republiky.
Thanks for the cache, greetings from the Czech Republic.

Log has been overwritten at #31 with the initials CQ.

no luck tonight.

Quick find for Mr VC despite peak hour muggles!!!

NANO LOG IS FULL ...

TFTC

I've ordered some nano logs - will replace asap

Quick find on this public holiday morning but as others said log is full so added a T5 and returned - TFTC

Thankfully, at 1018pm tonight, there were no muggles about for us to make the quick grab on this well camouflaged nano. Enjoyed relaxing in this unusual bus bay design...whilst He-Squirrel was re-rolling the totally full logbook.

Logbook completely full. Urgent replacement required please

Out on a date night, woo hoo, watching Pitch Perfect 3 - ho hum! Wandered over here for my daily cache. Figured it would be the best time for collection to minimise the muggle factor. Proved to be a great idea and the GZ got a major feel up until at last we found the little bugger. As mentioned in previous logs it’s full. So I just jammed my name in over the top of a faded one.

Found it with greengekos.

Out with the family for a movie at the nearby cinema on this hot sweaty Christmas Day . We arrived an hour early due to a lack of planning on my behalf . A quick check of the gc app soon had us on our way to gz for a quick find before heading to Maccas for some cold drinks . Tftc and a merry Christmas

Quick easy find but log full so I was unable to sign. Took a photo of log as proof of find. Replaced cache as found. TFTC

Greetings from Norfolk Island South Pacific.
I had just found my last cache in 7th Brigade Park and now had a park full of smileys . Just one more should do it. What a fascinating story about the trams. It is quite a feeling to grab a cache surrounded my muggles and security people.
Cache log is more than full and desperately needs replacing.

Bit of a busy muggle area so it's good that this was a quick and accessible grab log book is full though and needs replacing. TFTC!

Found tonight after dinner nearby.

Tftc and the history lesson!

I am in Brissy today to find the third and last of the three new Virtual caches.
I currently have a Virtual caching streak of 2 days.
And now I have increased that to 3 days.
How awesome am I[?] This is day 3. [^] [^] [^] [^] [^] [^]
And I brought my caching buddy Maxie Dog.

And now the third one in the streak has been found we headed off to find a few more caches.

After that we headed up this way to walk around the park on the other side of the 'Shopping Centre' and find a few caches. With people heading in all directions (especially Roar supporters) we sat down had a drink and casually felt around. After a short search the cache was found, logged and replaced. Onto the next one.

Thanks for the cache.

This is tiny!! But so amazingly clever!! Love it! Thank you!!

A good find

Took a seat and felt around. Had the cache in hand in minutes. TFTC

I still get a buzz finding these cache types. Simple enough hunt, sit at gz look at phone and feel around. Log book is chockers but still is in good Nick. It will need replacing. Tftc

heading to the new library for Bookcrossing meetup and I had planned to take my bike on the train and ride here and get a few caches along the way, but the train lines was closed so I had to get 3 buses instead and just this one single cache.
Soooo many muggles and I couldn't locate the cache after a few feels under and behind. I messaged a friend and it wasn't where she had found it but it was very, very close by.

On Friday I had to come to the Apple Store and my eldest daughter that loves everything Chermside was crushed when I brushed her. I made a promise to bring her back on Sunday and give her a couple of hours to shop her heart out.

We came first for lunch at Groove Train and ran into 4ando which we couldn't believe. We were all sober at the time which was even more remarkable. We did check out the CO's recommended burger spot but the line up was longer than a group of mosquitoes fighting over a fresh cut.

After having a fist full of food, the geodaughter and I came feeling for this cache. Lucky we check each other's work because we divided everything by 50% and one of us failed.

I see that people have mentioned the log is full, but with the CO spending too much time chasing Pokemon I can understand why. I wasn't prepared to add to the list of whingers, so we signed our name over someone else's log called 4ando. tftc

Out shopping with the kids and made them come over here for a look. Well it was exactly what I was expecting to find at exactly where I expected to find it. So why couldn't I see it last time? Must have been cache blindness. Thanks Mr Jaiger for another fun cache.

We came to check out the new upgrades of the shopping centre and had to duck outside and check this cache out Mrjohnwillem had his hands on it soon enough without anyone noticing but alas the log book was full so geoMs had to roll it all up again and it was replaced as found TFTC and some interesting history

After a dental appt nearby. What could be better than taking ones mind off it. not very busy there when we were there no muggle issues TFTC

My last for Brisbane on this trip. On way to airport. TftC.

Enjoyed reading the information from the nearby sign while we waited for a muggle to finish his cigarette. Once he had moved on it was obvious where to focus our attention .... the looking inconspicuous was a little more of a challenge.
We eventually located the cache and added our initials to the log.
Now ... down to shopping and a visit to the movies.

19/7/17, 4:51 pm Find #1037
Waiting for my eldest to return from uni on the bus, and I decided it was an ideal time to finally turn this mark on my map into a smiley. Parked the car and wandered over. Sure it's rush hour, but hey I can check the sign and take a little seat to wait for my son
And that's exactly what I did. Before I knew it I had a nice little cache in my hand!
Thanks for the cache Mr Jaiger.

Blackbeard picked this one up with burgo78.
Apologies for the late log.
TFTC

Visiting Brisbane with BlackPearl26 for Confro.
Out with the boys for the evening. Tied my shoes to collect and enjoyed replacing right under the noses of security while their backs were turned.
Thanks for breaking up the shopping.

Awesome

**# 16944** Found on the start of our 2017 winter escape trip.
A nice dry Autumn day for a drive around on the Northside with RoddyC.
A very public hide but the muggles were all too busy to see what we were doing.
Most were good sized containers and not too difficult hides.
Thanks for the cache Mr Jaiger,
***Roostaman***

Out caching on the lesser side of town with the visiting Roostaman.

While Mr RoddyC babysat the Geo Falcon, Roostaman and Mrs RoddyC ignored the Muggles, who in turn ignored them, retrieved the cache, and returned quickly before the Geo Falcon had to be moved on!

Log signed and replaced. Found at 11.50am on 13th May 2017. TFTC.

Here to walk around aimlessly in the shops - but also to make a quick find here. Nice piece of history and a I got down to feeling for the cache. TFTC Mr Jaiger

Quick easy find

Quick ring through to the girls in the shop and they don’t care about what I’m doing they are in shopper’s heaven in Chermie. Suits me, I can walk on a bit further to make the next grab, I’m sure the car will still be there when I return.

And I thought the last one was muggle central! Top tip 101, midday is not the time for this one…or is it? Had a pretty clever idea where this one would be, just needed the lady that was sitting where I wanted to sit to move on. Happy days, after I hung around near her long enough she must have thought I was a bit weird and moved on. Still couldn’t make the grab as I was trying to be unnoticeable.

In the end I did a PAF for some guidance so I could be super stealth. I let my hands do the wandering while being incognito on my phone and turned up the treasure.

I was so happy at making the find as a super sleuth that I didn’t realise where I was, whoops too late! I realised I had just done a cache that involved a carriage and tracks without Mr 4ando!

I did the next big thing…

TFTC Mr Jaiger

Took a little while to find this one but once I did I was very pleased as this one has been on my hidden date hitlist for a while now. As soon as I got up to read the sign a muggle came and sat down right were I was sitting while I was signing. He had no idea what I was doing lol so I left it safe and sound. TFTC

Out for a run - tftc

Interesting read.TFTC

This has been a little bit of a nemesis cache so fortunately the CO has been to the site and tied fluo pink ribbon on to the cache to ensure i could find it. Exactly where i first looked and moved on to every other spot in the universe. No wonder i could not find it. Sometimes it pays to have a second look in the obvious spot

Another 20 min waiting for a tram. There can only be so many places that a T1 can be hidden. Seems I have a serious case of cache blindness.

PS Someone seems to have dismantled a few things around here as there a few nuts and bolts lying around since my last visit, I hope it is not Geocachers.

2 nd time unlucky, I can see a long haul to get this one.

I checked this one today and it is where it should be. Good luck!

I checked today and could not locate the cache. Only fail for the morning.

Checked today - this one is still where it should be - good luck

Wanting to find a cache today to fill in calendar I set out before the family awoke.
Was surprised to see a few people waiting for a bus so early on a Sunday morning, but they paid me no interest.
Stood and read about the trams, very interesting. Then set out trying to find the cache. I concentrated all my efforts on one area, but couldn't see or feel anything. Walked around in circles for a while, touching things, but still no joy. Back to my first place of interest but sill no luck.
Next time....hopefully.
Now where to next to get that smiley?

Fortunately the place was muggle free late at night, making for an easy search and grab.

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #3221. Thanks **Mr Jaiger** for bringing us here. Feel free to discover our trackable TGQNRV .

Had parked at the RSL to collect Behemoth. Finding construction activity along Hamilton Rd and not wanting to cross and recross found an entry through the shopping centre very early this morning. Exiting the big Behemoth had to open one of the doors to get access to the bus interchange as the sliding doors were turned off. Couldn't close the door, so left ajar for the return leg.

At ground zero, started the search at the information board which had a lot of interesting information. Spied a better hiding spot where the cache was found after a bit of a feel. With this type of cache, it always takes time in re-rolling the log back up to make it fit. Luckily there was only one muggle at the station who wasn't interested in what I was doing. Thanks Mr Jaiger for an interesting hide.

Found nice and early on a Saturday before it turns into muggle central

I have been to this location so many times and never knew this information board was here. TFTC

at about 16:05 on our way home from Bernie Brae. There were plenty of muggles but they were all intent on their own business. That was fine until we went back to GZ to return the cache. Two girls had thought that was a good place to sit while they waited. Shortly their bus arrived and all was well.

TFTC Mr Jaiger. This cache is fine.

I have often looked at this location when waiting to change buses, and thought it was a very cool piece of history. I spied the cache, waited for a relatively muggle free time and nabbed the cache. Signed log and returned then went to catch the bus. TFTC

??

Awesome

Late this afternoon I was looking for somewhere to escape the heat, so headed over to the shopping centre. I managed to find parking in a nearby street and took a very slow walk through the aircon and out to GZ. There were quite a few muggles in the area, but I happened to find a very handy spot to rest, and quickly laid hand to the container. Nicely done here. TFTC, Mr Jaiger, and for the history lesson.

Plenty of traffic but an easy find Tftc

After my failed search a couple of days ago and the CO having checked that it was a case of cache blindness, I felt that I should have another go at finding it even though it is a 30 minute drive across the city from home.

Parking was a bit harder today and I had to do a few circuits of the car park before I found a vacant one. I was now familiar with the area so I walked straight to the same location which I had been searching last time and had another feel around. Zilch!!!..

Ok! It must be here somewhere. A discrete look ,Nothing found. I stood up thinking there must be another similar spot but I couldn't see one. I sat down for another feel and still nothing.

I grabbed my phone and held it in a position to take a photograph. The first one only gave me a shot of my derriere so I took another and looked at it.. What is that? I wonder...I had a feel in that spot and what do you know? How did my fingers go past it at least a dozen times without feeling it.

TFTC Mr Jaiger and thanks for bringing back memories of my daily trips across from Salisbury in the tram to attend PMG technician training school. I miss the trams.

Went and checked this one - cache is still in place and good to go - happy hunting!

I sat down at the likely spot and felt around with no luck. I moved away and checked a few other spots and returned for a second attempt. A PAF call confirmed I was in the right spot so I did a visual inspection as well but still couldn't locate the cache.

I don't mind caches in reasonably public spots. This one is much easier to grab than the last one around here, which needed some radical moves under a big billboard.
I zipped in for lunch and took it to the bus stop. Time was short so I munched and looked simultaneously and the very good coords helped a lot. I was also pleased that the log didn't need tweezers for once. TFTC where all is fine.

Not FTF but in the 1st 5. Definitely have to chose your timing in such a busy spot but GR8 hide & TFTC:-)

A touch of shopping and a Cache for the new year!
TNLNSL.
TFTC.

Found myself on a modern equivalent to Chermside today, and recalled a new one had popped up here recently. So I got off the bus and took a seat in about the only shade I could find and started to try and find it on my phone ... whilst satellites tried to find me I put my hand on the cache. Sweet. Love the easy ones. Phone is probably still waiting on satellites but I no longer need them. The force is with me. today.
Thanks for placing this cache, Mr Jaiger. Found in good condition.
*{Overall find #5080}*

*FTF* @ 4.25pm. I was watching this one from when it came out this morning.
No logs happened and after lunch geopartner went for a nap for 2 hours and then got up for a cup of coffee and I never thought we would have a chance.
Finally he said do you want go get that cache and I said yes.
A hour later arrived at GZ and looked for a park.
Finally found one and headed to GZ.
A few getting on and off the transport here but none near us.
I quickly felt and grabbed the cache and took away for signing and then it was pretty easy to get it back.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Mr Jaiger All good with this cache
A favourite from me
