Bella Vista - Belmont Carindale, Queensland, Australia
By gumnutbaby on 23-Sep-18. Waypoint GC7Y45D

Cache archived as maintenance has been a challenge due to a change in the family. I’ll free the area for other hiders.

Cache disabled pending replacement of the bison tube

Broken container and very damp. Mouldy log book

Tftc

Easy find. TFTC

did not have pen, found with EGuando

Did not have pen. Photo proof. Was with reevsys at time.

Found it

Found

I found it and it was really tiny there was also a little spiked plant in front of it so it was hard to grab

I started on the wrong side of the road, but the compass helped me get back on track.
A quick find and sign. The log is getting full.
TFTC

Love the view! I just hung out for little there.

Nice easy find

Easy find tftc

What a lovely view, and thank you for sharing your story. Many blessings and TFTC gumnutbaby!

Thanks for this short walk along a reasonably busy road. Found and signed, it took longer to get it out of the holder then anything else, rolled it up and now it will be easier to get out for the next person

Thanks for the find

Easy find. TFTC.

So cool. Great view. Hard to park near due to the fact on main road. TFTC

Beautiful view! TFTC

What a cute find

Found it

Out for a late night burn on the scooter, and I wound up heading up Scrub Road here - a place I suspect I've never been before. Along the way I noticed the nice view to the side, slowed but didn't stop.

When I got as far as I could bother with tonight (some kilometres farther on than here), I turned around. But then also had the brainwave to look for geocaches on the way back. I spotted this on the drive back, so kept it in mind.

Along the way, I remembered the geocache (not doing so was a real risk!) and stopped within a few metres. I turned off the scooter, which annoyed me because doing so resets the tripmeter. And there goes my range test for tonight!

But no worries, onto the hunt. There's a lot of places to look, and I was worried about flashing a light around too much. I gleaned some hints from previous logs and ultimately made a quick find around 18:20. My first geocache on the new scooter!

I snapped some photos then hopped back on and continued home. A nice stop to check out the city lights! Thanks for this geocache, gumnutbaby

Loved the view!

Great spot

After being out of the game for a few years this was a quick and easy find. Thanks

Just showing the kids what geocaching is all about.

Nice view over the suburbs, hills and city. TFTC

Sneaky little hide, TFTC

Look for a tiny silver tube. TFTC!

This one should be up high enough to be ok with the weather event, but I did observe water flowing out over the road from the Bushland on the weekend. Please take care of you go after this one before things have dried out. 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.

Catching up on some late logs.

Out and about with BJA3 on a very wet day. Cache was quickly located at the GZ with no issues apart from being a bit damp. Log is okay as it is a RITR style so still easily signable.

TFTC and bringing us here to enjoy the view!

Out and about with Team Barritts picking up smiley's where we could. Cache and log okay only being a bit damp. Log is still able to be signed easily.

TFTC and bringing us to this area - great view!

Pleasantly surprised to find the cache in place with zip tie missing. All is now well. Play on!

May be out of place

Found it TFTC

Nice find the view was beautiful. tftc

The view is worth it

Found safe and sound. TFTC. Craig

I finally found it after ages of looking couldn’t sign it as it was full forgot my pen anyway

Very easy, love the container!!!

Found nice and quickly. It is a beautiful view indeed. TFTC!

Found 26/4/21

After escaping the bush, elected to walk back to the car along the road scooping this cache along the way.
TFTC

Out with Geo-mum - geocachealot2014, decided to head to the road to get back to car, could not face any further bush bashing. Crawled back to car and picked up this sneaky little cache. Had to grab the cache between cars as road very busy today.

Awesome, thanks! Great walking track.

A surprisingly pleasant view from GZ and something I never expected. You gotta love this game... [^]

At GZ with NurseyJulie this morning, we were both within a couple of metres of the hide but took a minute or so to spot the obvious. Hmm, a strange green I thought...

Log out, we added our names then returned everything as found.

Cheers Gumnutbaby.

We parked opposite this one and moved along the trees as per the hint. Soon found it and admired the views across to the City. TFTC

Nice view. Thanks for the find!

Im a bit short for it to be "eyelevel"

While taking in the view I was able to retrieve the cache during a break in traffic... returning it with no traffic was a completely different story... tftc...

Found it!

Cache still on place. Come and find it!

Likely missing, disabled to check.

Returned to our earlier location to grab a night attribute cache for me. What a glorious city view it would be on a non dusty day! TFTC

While we were on the darkside, having achieved all our other objectives, only one remained outstanding. That was to find a cache with a night time attribute. And that was easily done and close by and on the way home. The only drawback is we were tramping around the Belmont Hills this morning chasing horses and the magnificent seven. So back we came to Scrub Road.

Parking legally(?) close by, this was a quick find and when dismantling the container, I held it firm so it wouldn't roll down the hill and into the vegetation. Shame the city vista was clouded in dust bought in by the strong westerly winds. Thanks gumnutbaby for highlighting this spot.

Yes agreed nice view

Tiny and silver

You will get a good view from the power pole it is silver

I've driven past this several times this week and I can still see the cache catching the light. It's still in place.

Dnf

It’s actually silver not green TFTC

After attending my appointment this morning I am finding a few caches before going home. GPS had me across the road but figured it was on the other side. Checked around where I found the cache exactly where it should be. SL then returned as found. Great view today on a clear morning.

Found on 15 June 2020. TFTC, gumnutbaby.

Great view!

Love this view. Tftc

Found it

Nice quick find to start the day. Love the view. Be a great place to watch the fireworks over the city. TFTC

Found it but as pen ran out I messaged a photo. Easy find.

Good find

TFTC

My boyfriend and I did a 7km round trip up the hill at sunset and the view was just stunning. Almost forgot the reason we were up there ahaha! However, the cache was very easy to find so we were able to enjoy the cityscape for longer. Thank you for the cache!

Such a beautiful view at sunset. We came out here and went for a walk to the top of Belmont Hill today after work, and then walked back down the hill via this geocache.
At GZ, when we started to look, we realised it was right in front of our eyes. It’s lovely to be up high and watch the sunsetting.
thanks for placing this at a lovely viewing spot.

GZ at sunset

A nicely hidden cache in front of a great view.

I thought the sun would make this find a bit harder but the cache turned out to be larger than I was expecting.

TFTC!

Little hard to find but in the end found. It hanging on a tree! Lovely view indeed!

Went through a bush to find it was on the roadside! Great fun tho

Me and a friend found this one very well done. Beautiful view

Awesome view!

Tftc

A nice view and a nice spot for a cache Tftc

I have always loved the brief views i can grab when i drive along here. Thanks for making me stop and enjoy them a little more

This was a really good one

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Found with lisylou and mnance101 today

Quick find with bennyboppers and mnance101 today. Tfrc

I have been meaning to grab this one for a while, today is the day I had time up my sleeve. I grabbed a safe park just down the road and set off to turn this one into a smiley. A quick find was made once at gz thanks to spot on coords. Tftc

As gumnutbaby wrote some time ago, it's no longer green, and must come back to remove the old one. Well, I had the chainsaw and angle grinder in the car today, so thought I could oblige with maintenance. Removed the old green piece, and shortened the black cable tie.
What a magnificent view from here - almost a bella vista. C'est magnifique. Added to the log, and departed. TFTC, gumnutbaby.

Quick easy find thanks

Quick easy find out with Chamad .

TFTC.

Woooooo

Awesome! Thanks!!

Out for an early morning caching run on the south side. Hopefully the rain holds for me to collect a few caches this morning. Found the cache dry and in good condition.
Tftc

Found the cache easily enough and noticed the remnants of its previous incarnation. This was really a wait for a break in the traffic grabs while admiring the smoke haze in the distance. TFTC

This was really good, loved the view!

I first found this over a year ago but due to traffic and my fear of dropping it as I reached for it , I left it for another day. FTF had already been claimed so I decided to come back at my leisure when traffic was lighter...after all I knew exactly where it was!
Life got in the way...and there's always traffic on this road.
Recently I had been caching in the reserve across the road and decided today was the day. Parked, walked over and along to GZ and stood admiring the view . It was easy to wait for passing cars, reach, do the log signing and replace as found.
Thanks for the cache
Gumnutbaby

What a lovely view.

Very sneaky, gumnutbaby. Thanks for the cache! Found with KylieW

Foubtbfb it

Was out doing some urban caches today.
Wad going to do belmont reserve but the thought if snakes got the better of me so thought id stick to foot paths today.
Tftc.
