Logs
I've struggled to check in this one with the baby, happy to open the location to other hides.
We had the area to ourselves and it stayed that way because we couldn’t spy anything. We read some old logs and matched up a photo but nothing was there to be found. Thanks anyway
Found but lost my pen at the last find so will have to come back to sign it. Thanks!
Tried for this one this morning but there was a group of daycare children here having a wonderful time so moved on and came back to it this afternoon. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC
There was a large contingent of children from the nearby child care centre playing amongst the trees here, creating swings and shelters with the natural materials they found. It looked like they were having a lovely time so we decided not to look for the cache when we first arrived and instead, returned on our way home. The area was deserted on our return so we had a nice uninterrupted search and soon spotted the cache. Thanks gumnutbaby.
Our first cache. I was worried as I saw a family clearing this area and adding swings just two days ago.
Having set myself a little personal challenge I set off today to try and continue with it. I finished work a little early so I could jump across the creek and grab a few caches this side of the pond.
As I was over this side of town and still had a little bit of time left I decided to grab a couple more caches in the area. I parked up near this one and wondered over. I had a bit of bounce here and my GZ was in the open area so a litle searching was required. Funny thing is the night time came very quickly and I had to go back and grab a torch. The hint said “hanging like an apple” so I assumed it must be in a tree. The torch helped me locate the cache as it shone up in the dark. Awesome, made the find, signed the log and replaced the cache as found, it was then back to the car and I was done for the day / night. Thank you for the hide and the concept.

Wandered up here from a nearby cache. There were lots of things hanging in the trees - beads and jewellery - it looks like the local kids have fun here. Then I spotted the bison, nowhere near the fence as the previous person said. The log is musty with mould but was easy to sign. Tftc
This one should be up high enough to be ok with the weather event. If there are any issues with a soggy log please let me know so I can action and take a picture of your find as alternative evidence.
When I was a child I lived close to this park although then it was an old quarry. Spent many hours climbing these rock faces. Council has turned it into a lovely space. TFTC.
After visiting the dentist and looking for a pinball machine, I’ve given myself a couple of hours to find a few caches…
This was a nice quick find of a container type I’ve not seen before… tftc…

Out and about with TripleTurmoil for a few hours to grab a few caches here and there.
We finished grabbing some caches in the nearby reserve and decided to stop by to grab this one.

Wanted to do a couple of hours of quiet caching and Nayfee volunteered to come with me.
Quickly found.

Just moved to Brisbane from Canada and I thought it would be nice to have a morning stroll. Lucky I came at this cache from the right side. Quick find at the posted coordinates. TFTC.
Visiting with [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) this evening having dinner with friends in the area. We managed to make this cache find rather quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, although it the logbook appeared to be inconsistent from those who have logged online? Perhaps there are two caches here, or otherwise they may have accidentally logged this cache? Thanks gumnutbaby for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Visiting from Stanthorpe. Thought I’d track one down close to where I am today. Found it.
Was a little tricky to find as it was buried. Some of the stick positioning made it easier to narrow down! Our first cache!!

Glad I followed parking directions, don't feel like wandering around in this heat too much, and this park looks huge. (Will prob be back with the dog).
Cache guardian (?) made for a quick find. Thanks for the interesting historical info.

At first i thought it had be muggled no it was not! The photo was helpful add was the elephant. TFTC
We had a great adventure trying to find this one! The owner has left some wonderful treasure in it too! The treasure is returned to its hidey spot with an x marks the spot... and a big grey animal sitting on top!
Cache has gone walk about. I can see some nature play has been happen here!
New cache is at the bottom of a clump of trees with lots if natural ammo. Same coordinates showing.
Happy Caching!

Did a little drive-by to go back and get this one. Did not take long to find this time luckily. Does this count as my first FTF?!..... probably not

We also could not find it unfortunately. It may have been muggled. We looked at the base of every tree and still could not find it.
Can someone give a hint as to where it is? This is our second look with no luck
Ok eventually made the find, two things to note the cache isn’t placed where it should be so making the find was a little frustrating, secondly if your going to take a trackable then log the trackable when you take it, this cache says the is a trackable inside but someone has taken it without logging it placed the cache back where it should be TFTC....off my soapbox now
Looks like kids have been building a fort here...no cache...not even up in the paperback trees
I think my caching goggles weren't working today. This was my third DNF in a hour. But...looking on the bright side, I learnt a lot of history, the geoterrier found a new dog park. and the Little Duck TB visited.
Thanks, gumnutbaby.
Thanks, gumnutbaby.
We couldn’t find this one. There was a fort type thing built and a beer bottle though. Not sure where else to look but would like to go back.
We looked with 2 adults and 3 kids this afternoon and couldn’t find it anywhere. Would love a hint as I looked at notes in the activity log and nothing helped. Checked all the paperbark trees and surrounds. Kids are keen to try again
Followed the GPS right to GZ and found nothing at first.
Searched all the appropriate spots and no cache. Just about to expand the search when I looked up and saw the container wedged between two branches of the paperback. Signed the log and gave it a better hiding spot.
TFTC!
