The Bush hide Bellbowrie, Queensland, Australia
By sharkattack2017 on 27-Aug-17. Waypoint GC7BE5Z

Nice find

So fun found it on our way out hint for people that are stuck around the bottom

Thought I'd pop in to grab this "quick hide" however soon turned out to be not so quick... Lots of spikey things, lots of spiders and lots of hiding possibilities. Just as I was about to claim a DNF I read through the logs and find a decent hint from DavidWazza (with thanks) and quickly had cache in hand.

My phone had me a little further into the bush than I needed to be. The cache was spotted when exiting. The log was duly signed and the cache returned as found. TFTC

Nearly lost one of if us in the excitement of the hunt.

Tricky but found. Getting the hang of this geocaching. TFTC

Not in a black box, well hidden

A reasonably quick find. Just took the wrong tracks. The cache is not on a main track. TFTC

Coordinates a bit misleading, but after awhile I found it

No sign of it here.

No luck today

SaintsMadHouse and I decided that today we would tackle some caches in this area. We were particularly after some of the Indy Jones series, and decided to throw in caches in the similar vicinity of course. With most of our planned goal achieved, we checked the map and decided to tackle bits and pieces of others around.
Our final cache find today, we headed in and saw a likely location for GZ…. Then noticed something a little different at said location. Ahhhh! Nicely done, blends in well.
Thanks for the cache sharkattack2017.

Found the massive spiderweb with my face the way in and then spotted the well placed cache. I really like what you did with this one!

I was invited along with Willis007 and Kolour for a day of some short walking caches. Perfect for me as my legs have been feeling it of late. There were a few puzzle caches and a couple of multi and trads. As always, the day is filled with huge laughs and some great stunt driving (no matter who is driving).

Our adventures continued around the area and it was a few around Bellbowrie area. This was an easy find for us, thank you.

We signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for bringing me up here.

Out on a great caching day with Kolour and chamad, we had a couple of target caches on the radar, and collected some others along the way as we headed towards home.
A quick find here today, log signed and all was replaced as found.
Thanks sharkattack2017 for the cache.

Found

Nice hide

It was in at the base of the tree

Grass is pretty long. Couldn’t find it today

At the roots of the fallen tree

Found it

Pretty easy , also fun

I had looked for this one some time ago but it was missing. At gz, I had a look along the fallen tree but once I read Davidwazza’s log, it was a quick find. Glad to turn this into a smiley. Tftc

can’t find it there are lots of fallen trees

Left my poor puppies tied to a tree on the edge of the bush. I was worried about them picking up a tick in this humidity. So I didn’t have much patience for looking today. Like Brissy Cat, I tried to find a way in that was devoid of spiders & long grass. I think the way I went in ended up being worse! (The way out was easier, except for mid-calf/knee height grass at the edge). The grass was waist high and I saw (and fought through the webs of) 3 massive spiders - not to mention the ones I didn’t see. Ew, it gives me the creeps! I may love geocaching but I hate the idea of walking into a large spider web! But I got myself a trusty “spider stick” to wave in the air, bravely going before me. And all I had to do was watch for snakes! On my phone, the find was showing as 10m from GZ. So read the logs and look at photo a few logs back before mine. Take more notice of that clue than your phone!

I kept looking around for a trail to get me closer to the GZ but there were no trails so I just pushed my way through the spider webs and long grass till I found the right tree. Thankfully I had read the logs so the cache was quickly found and then bashed my way back out of the bush. Fairly easy find but the T rating is certainly much higher in summer. TFTC!

We found it !! Sarah , Jack and Tiffany

A nice day out with Davidwazza! TFTC!

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) , baby and I commenced the day with the [Cupcakes and coffee ️ ](https://coord.info/GC9ZZT5) Event at Anstead Bushland Reserve. I had visited this area before, but I thought the quarry was a great sight, so it was good to show this to jesswrigley. After getting caught in a rain downpour, we made a coffee stop with morning tea, and then proceeded to take a walk targeting *The 7 Habits of Effective Geocachers* series. With our day's fitness behind us, we then headed home via the Moggill ferry and Queensland Miners Memorial at Redbank in order to celebrate EarthCache weekend.

Whilst baby was sleeping, we took the opportunity to make a stop here. We previously messaged the CO asking whether they wanted us to replace this cache, given the strong likelihood that the cache was missing. Nevertheless, we searched around GZ for a good 10-15 minutes looking at fallen logs and hollows, trying to match up corrected coordinates and past photos taken. In the end, we concluded that the cache was probably missing, taken during heavy rains and washed away. Consequently, we've replaced the cache with an Eclipse mint tin and waterproof logbook paper in a hollowed-out steel cylinder, placed on top of a fallen major log on top of the base roots stump. It is raised to the ground, so shouldn't be washed again, and a feature nearby to GZ that recognises the easier difficulty. Thanks sharkattack2017 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Nope sorry

Too overgrown to search + / - 5m

Found the spot based on previous photo of log. No cache.

Could not find. Searched many likely logs within 8m radius of waypoint.

cache was not there

Second find

A couple of likely spots at gz but couldn’t find anything.

Found the right log, but it has been removed as at 28.03.21.

Found it

Happy 40th Nathan and Clinton!!

Found by Mark, Sarah, Nathan, Toby, Bernie

Not the tree you think!

Go team!!

Had fun with the nephews finding this one.

Changed waypoint thanks to previous comment from Peppa.
Cache is all good - nice and dry and tucked away safely.

TFTC

Great hiding spot and quick find

Nice one had fun

Searched for a long time in many different logs, and finally got it (second time around). There was a nice big spider on the container so watch out! Gave the kids a fright

A little tough to find, but we found in in the end

I almost walked away here... even armed with the information from previous finders... glad I didn’t.... sooooo many spider webs though... I actually stepped over the hide following the GPS...

Try
S 27° 34.071
E 152°53.102

Replaced the snap lock bag and left some Singapore coin... tftc...

Searched around the bush but couldn’t find it, sorry.

My gas kept changing the location ...didnt find after 20 mins

Good little find this arvo with the geo family!

Delved in here with the little fellas to see if we could bag ourselves a bush smiley. After an initially unsuccessful search we checked the comments and were quite glad we did (many thanks InspectorRex) .

Can confirm that the coords are off by ~12m N of where we made the find. Cache and log were both in great condition along with lots of loot. Replaced and recamouflaged before heading off to some much-earned playing in the adjacent park.

TFTC

Excellent first find for the kiddos.

This one was found today whilst we were out and about exploring around the place. Cache was about 15m south of marked GZ and CO has been messaged to this effect. Find was quick and easy. TFTC from the inspectorrexteam.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Craig and lance at it again

Found nice and dry

Thank you for the cache. Recommend a big stick to future searchers to clear out spiders though!

Our first ever! Container broken and log water damaged.

Took a little bit to find, just a dash off coords

Sorry, ignore my previous message! Found and not damaged. Lots of fun. Thank you.

First geocache find! The coordinates were lightly off which made it a little challenging but a lot more fun! TFTC.

A rare work trip out this way.
As this was very close to my route and I needed a leg stretch I stopped here.
Found 15m closer to the open area compared to the coordinates.

Thank you for this one

Great find!!!

Quick find today during work. Grounds were wet under foot today but cache nice and dry. Tftc
