By domsky on 31-Mar-19. Waypoint GC85HF8

No luck for us here today. Thanks anyway

Time to put this one to rest. Will re-think when back in brisbane

Great view. But DNF

Nothing inside and cover is missing. TFTC

Searched for a good while. No luck

Nice construction. Something is missing? Like a cover? No contents or logbook.

Just a couple of sneaky searches this morning on my way to search for old disco records. This was my second search and second of two finds today. Once I got near zero it was just a matter of eliminating possibilities till I found it, though I did need to be a little sneaky as even early on a Saturday there were pedestrians galore in both directions.
The cache itself was functional though the container lid is nowhere to be seen. Somehow the log has stayed put and is dry. This will need to rectified before long I'm afraid ... still, all good fun and another too view today as I zig zag along the river. Cheers for the fun on this one domsky.

For some utterly unfathomable reason, Mrs Woodyrothwell volunteered us to be designated drivers on a Saturday night. WTF? Both our daughters were off to a drag show at QPAC and she thought there might be an unsavoury element to the crowd. She hasn’t caught on yet that drag shows are now family affairs.

Our son joined us for the evening because he was on call for work and couldn’t be on the sauce either. What a sad state of affairs our family has become. At least he had a work park close by so we could enjoy a walk around at night.

Our son runs fibre optics and worked on the lighting for this bridge but at the other end. That’s why it took us a while to find our way up and we made a quick find once there. tftc

Needs to start having a pen. Tftc

But we forgot to bring a pen

Well hidden

Finally found it after hanging around

Lovely location. TFTC

With my eye on a couple of challenges I’ve decided to spend the day in the city… which included walking from North Quay to Toowong, the Roma Street Parklands, through the Queen Street Mall and across to the State Library…

This was my first find of the day after being dropped off at the end of Montague Road… I read the log was in some trouble, so after finding the cache I moved off and replaced it putting it into a new snap lock bag…

I hope the COs are enjoying their “Grand Tour”… I look forward to their return…

Tftc…

TFTC.
Second to find. On the same day as Peppa (hasn't logged yet)

Found this one with franjastia the log sheet was so wet it shredded into little bits so we could not sign it so we took a photo off it so if the CO needs to see it then let use know tftc

1st one of the day. Not a cloud in the sky. Heaps of muggles around. Paper is a bit wet and filling up.

First day in Brisbane after a couple of years so headed out for a cache - nice find. Log book very wet so could not sign.

Last day in Brisbane before jumping on a plane
Cache container in fantastic condition but logbook is too wet to sign. Needs a replacement and baggy
Tftc

I’m in town for magic round and thought we’d do some caching in between games.
On a rather wet Saturday we managed a few finds before the footy.
Almost gave up thinking it was on a different elevation.
Thanks

Heading out for a days caching and this was the first stop. Much debate as to where it might be but in the end a simple find. TFTC!

Found on a wet day of exploring Brisbane before egoing back to the footy.

Cheers

I tried my darnedest to find this one this morning, but no luck. If I'm ever this way again, I'll have another try.

Nice quick find. Tftc

A day at Southbank with the turmoils. It was an effort to convince little legs to go the extra distance to get this cache. "But you have never walked over the Brisbane River before" sold out to them.

I was starting to worry that it wasn't worth the effort when we couldn't find it after 10 mins. Luckily the tired ones could sit while looking.

As I was about to give up, I had an idea. It paid off.

Then of course the heart attack as children are fighting over getting it, with a big drop and water below!

Cache signed and less fighting with it being replaced. Miss 11 insisted on doing it. Oh I hate not being in control (so does she ).

TFTC, took a little while to find. Clue was very helpful, while the satellite reception poor.
Log is starting to fill, looks like it’s seen better days.
The view from the bridge was great when Mrs Riddell arrived with the fading setting sun… nice and pink. However the colors had gone by the time the cache was found.

Found it

Another straight forward find, coordinates were very accurate.

Nice view from here, busy spot.

Thanks for the cache!

Found ok tftc

GPS a little off, hint helped. Tftc

Checked this one, and it is dry and safe and has remained so even during the flood.

Found it. The paper does need to be replaced

Found it
Beautiful walk around city

Tfth

??

Out caching with my Mum mnance101. TFTC and for bringing us here!

Some good fun
TFTC

I spent as long as reasonable on a busy Friday afternoon lingering but I couldn’t find it. I’ll definitely be back when it’s not so busy and have a proper look

Easy find once in proccession of a hint. Thank you for this one

Took me a little while but found it. Log very wet so sat in the sun with it for a few mins to help dry it out

A quick and easy find during my lunch break at work.

Quick and easy find whilst on a break from work.

We are on a 2 day holiday when decided to go geocaching. Was really nervous to get the cache because of my clumsiness but all went smoothly

Found it

Family day out grabbing some finds

Team B in the city
Day 2

I get so nervous searching, retrieving and replacing these.

I arrived early to an event that was being held just 60 metres away from this cache. Perfect opportunity to not waste time and hopefully grab a smiley. I walked along the bridge trying to avoid the bike and scooter riders zooming past, man there is a few of them. Walking up to GZ, I thought I spied something that may have been the hide, closer inspection and sure enough it was. Wow that was quick and with precision timing, I swooped around and grabbed the cache without anyone even seeing, lol.

I then walked over to get out of the way to a little landing to sign the log only to find someone sleeping on the bench. Log signed and cache ready to be replaced I walked back to the hiding spot placed the cache and then kept walking to meet the others at the event, still 20 minutes early, lol.

Thanks for the hide and the great location.

Didn’t have a pen because it wasn’t my intention to go caching. Have taken a photo and will message CO. TFTC. Scenic spot. Now my son is begging for an e-scooter ride!

Found with the kids on a walk after the Lego exhibition. Nice hide.

Second attempt all good. TFTC.

Found this cache while on a scooter ride around the river. It was a fun day and we loved crossing these bridges with great views of the city.
Thanks for the cache!

Omg I was so nervous I’d drop this but all good! Great spot for some photos. Tftc

A nice evening stroll took us to this cache. Thanks for placing it here.

Out caching in the city on an overcast drizzly day. This is the first time that I have walked the Kurilpa Bridge. I definitely need to work on my finger grip strength. TFTC

Awesome! Thank you ??

Thanks for the find! Freaking out my geokid would drop it but he was a professional! ??

Crossed over the fiddle stick bridge from the south side to get to the cache.

There was a freezing westerly blowing down the river and I think that helped to keep the muggles away so I could look for the cache in peace.

Didn't take long to locate and I held on tight so that wouldn't drop it.

TFTC domsky

Nice little spot and the walk through!

Just staying in a hotel near by for the weekend. Just had to grab this one.
Thanks.

First cache in Brisbane for 2021 here’s hoping I can secure a few more during this visit. TFTC

Strolled over the bridge from the nearby even on my way to the State Library. I was surprised how quiet the bridge was at this time of day. I am not sure I have actually crossed this one to many times. Lurked for a very short while at GZ for a break in the traffic and had a very quick find.

Opted to retreat to a safer spot to log the find. Nice to turn a blue dot in to a smile.

Thanks for the cache Domsky
Thanks for the Hunt
Took Nothing, Left Nothing, Signed Log

While walking to this cache we stopped at various parts of this unique bridge to take photos of the Brisbane River and take in the sites of Brisbane.

Once we were at the correct location and had worked out where the cache was. Part of our caching team sat down in the nearby seating area and viewing deck. So we grabbed the cache and watched over to join them. Added some of our ink into the log. Placed the log back into the container and placed exactly as found. Taking extreme care that the cache did not ended up in the river, like the hint outlined.

Staying nearby and out for an evening walk as the sun sets over Mt Cootha. Easy find between many muggles. Thanks.

Easy find again

TFTC!

Nice view. An easy find once I stopped, turned my brain off and went with intuition. I like these caches. Almost back at the hotel after a georun. 3.5hours is a reasonable outing. It was dark when I left and the sun is now high in the sky at 9am

After doing some nearby caches, we popped up onto the bridge to find this one. After some very brave looking, Miss OlMaLol managed to find the cache! Thanks for the hide Domsky, what an amazing view!

Team Crump

Found easily with help from the hint. Not too busy for a beautiful Sunday. Tftc

M was in the city today and agreed to go for a short walk to help fill in a calendar day for us.

Found with goldielover and the dogs. Nice and quiet here this evening.
All good here with your cache TFTC

Great views from the bridge. Hardly anybody else around. Tftc

Lovely early evening walk.

What a beautiful and modern bridge. I like this bridge at night, it’s always quiet. Found GC following the description and hint. Took just a few minutes. Signed log- it was very damp. Returned back to hide and jumped on my bike to ride home. TFTC
The view of GOMA was awesome at night.

Tyftc

Out and about today and found myself with time to search for a geocache or two. Happy to add my name to the log and get another smiley on the map. Thanks to domsky for the cache.
Logbook is damp, otherwise All good here. TNLNSL
GC85HF8 Urban Caching in South Brisbane 15 30/12/20

Yay we found it. Great first find for my 5 year old daughter.

With the help of the clue we got this one without attracting any attention. Thanks domsky and fav point

Thanks for the personal growth, Domsky. I have a phobia of dropping things, that may be irretrievable (yes, seriously!), into water or anywhere where they may be retrieved. No, I've never actually lost anything like that so I don't know the cause. My rings had to come off and I had to check the clasp on my earring and then walk to the edge. That made this very difficult....but, I did it. I even had to replace it. But you'll never get me to overcome arachophobia!

Oh, by the way, it was worth the effort in that it was my 1400th cache. It is a bit moist, though. FYI.

Working in the city office today I needed to escape the madness so came to look for a cache. It was a lovely opportunity to enjoy the outdoors for a short while.
The cache was found quite quickly in its cheeky hiding place.
With not many people around I leisurely signed the log and replaced the cache as found.
Thanks domsky for placing the cache here.

Put my hand right on it! nice!

I'm staying few nights in a hostel nearby and quick find at the morning walk, tftc!

Out caching with my daughter Pinkypie05. Great hide. TFTC!

Quick find on a pleasant evening stroll. Enjoyed the breeze on the bridge after a very hot n sweaty afternoon. Cheers

Great little find

Lovely to go city after the appts

Quick walk at lunch time to grab this one. Not many out and about today so was a quick grab and sign at gz. Thanks for the views up the river.

First cache I ever found! What a fun one to start with.
