So fun

Fun find. Thanks

Got it

Ive recently solved a few puzzles in this area so had a plan to spend the morning finding them plus a few traditionals. This was on my way home. I saw that information in the cache is needed for a mystery cache in this series so decided to make a start on it. A quick find as the cache was sitting uncovered. Signed logbook and covered it with the sticks that the container was sitting on. Not long after, a group of boys arrived to play basketball. Lucky timing for me. Tftc

Oopsy Lost my pencilI should have more preparedNoone around now

Nice walking around caches in quiet park. TFTCCache is in good condotion.OUT: TB

Found the cache. But... (Check photo)

Tree is inhabited by several insects. Our large huntsman friend included. Huntsman spiders pose limited danger to humans.https://australian.museum/learn/animals/spiders/huntsman-spiders/

Coordinates changed from:S 27 31.667 E 153 6.400Coordinates changed to:S 27 31.657 E 153 6.406Distance from original: 68.8 feet or 21.0 meters.I could have sworn I left it in the tree at the other coordinates, but this is where it was today!

Found on a soggy day! We dropped a trackable! Log was a little bit wet after the downpour this morning... Thanks for the cache

As several Geocachers and I have noted, the geocache is currently 25 m away from the posted coordinates, and subsequently does not conform with the [Geocache hiding guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines):*A Traditional Cache consists of at least a container with a logbook and is located at the posted coordinates.*Would the CO mind in either visiting the cache to check coordinates, or otherwise updating the listed coordinates online? Thanks.

Regarding our bike ride, I departed from the small group of avid geo-cyclists tackling the BBBB series to detour past a few geocaches that I had yet to find in the area. We had left our vehicles on Pine Mountain Road, and we rode a total distance of 17.4 km across an elevation of 218 m, with a moving time of 1:10 hr and elapsed time of 2:55 hr, as per my [Strava record](https://www.strava.com/activities/10553685390). It was an enjoyable ride along Bulimba Creek Bikeway that passed through Carindale Recreation Reserve and Bulimba Creek Bicentennial Park, which had plenty of shade.I had wanted to visit this geocache during last week's ride, but my phone ran out of battery, so it was a small detour left until today. We took a large bike ride around Edwards Park, and as I searched at the obvious tree at GZ, there was no sign of this cache. After reading past logs, it became clear that the cache was nearby in another tree, and after searching one spot, the cache was in my third attempted area about 25 m away, with my GPS indicating the cache at S 27 31.656' E 153 06.408' (this appears to be a consistent issue noted). The cache container was in good shape, and I noted the special clue required for [Ruby Tuesday](https://coord.info/GC8CDPA). The logbook was also in good shape, and I ensured that I took a photograph as evidence of my visit to appease the CO. There are a few names that didn't appear in the logbook. Thanks [gumnutbaby](https://coord.info/PRT2DHZ) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This morning, following a catch-up at the [Carina's Anima - Jungian Study Done!](https://coord.info/GCAHKYZ) event, baby Cottontail and I joined a small group of geocachers by bike to ride the newly published *Bulimba Bikeway Bison Bash* (BBBB) series. It was the fourth instalment, and we rode north from Pine Mountain Road to Old Cleveland Road. Following our ride, we then visited a few other parks: Greendale Park, followed by Carindale Recreation Reserve which had a space/rocket-themed playground for baby Cottontail to enjoy.

A day assisting RoddyC with some placement and checking coordinates. Caching with RoddyC imbunda.Went in looking for this one.not at our coordinates so widened our search. Found about 25 mtrs away.TFTCache gumnutbaby

Out with hatzofff and imbunda today. Part walk, Part E-Scooter for a goodmix.Good find. Fixed. Log signed and cache replaced as found at 2:47 PM on November 19, 2023. TFTC, gumnutbaby

Found it thank you!!

I was supposed to be flying oversea today. Instead I spent five hours at the airport, and then travelled with some friends to stay at their place overnight and try it all over again tomorrow. Caching-wise, this gave me the opportunity to do a couple of Carindale Cacheson the Dark Side. This cache was only 268 meters from my friends house. They had to duck out, and so I went caching. Arriving at GZ, I found the cache in plain sight. There was no one at the park, so it was an easy process to sign the cache and replace it, where I hope it should be, as per the hint.Thanks, gumnutbaby, for the cache.

Found it

Thanks

Found back on the 6/10/2023

Nice.

true

Our first ever geocache experience, thank you!!!

Thanks for the great cache!

Cool little container

Very fun cache and quick if you don’t want spoilers don’t look at images

Fun find sadly I forgot to bring some items to swap out with so I could take anything but I enjoyed finding it, there was also a flying fox/zip line near by but it's not worth it it's slow too much friction to go fast but good luck to you guys on finding it.

Found it

Extremely well camouflaged but a quick find for a cacher looking for it! T4TC:-)

Unhhhh

This was my first ever geocache and im so happy about it! Perfect first one! Thank you very much. Didn’t take anything

Tnx

Thank you very much!! Found safely

I was hoping to make a start on this series whilst in the are today, but arriving at GZ there were a trio of picnicking muggles in the shade as well as some kids playing basketball.

Decided to leave it for another time. Thanks Gumnutbaby

Heaps of muggles around, had to sneak to it! Lovely park with several playgrounds and a zip line

Quick find, added some trinkets as there were none. TFTC

Found!

Very nice a relaxing route and a fun first cache

Found on a bike ride with family

Great little toys! The kids were really happy!

There was no-one about today in the park so we had no trouble hunting at GZ. After finding the cache and taking note of the clue, we used the nearby gym equipment to plonk ourselves down and work everything out. Thanks gumnutbaby

Cache found safe and dry with no muggles around. TFTC

Enjoying the outdoors on a balmy Sunday morning. Pick up a few Southside caches and turning opportunities into achievements

Cheers

Bedazzled by the freshly placed cache with lots of trinkets. Thanks for putting it back in play. A favourite for the series. TFTC

Thank you for reactivating this cache full of wonderful treasures. Nighttime visit today so very quiet. Thanks a.gain

Poopoo

This was our first time and its very cool thx

There may be an issue with this cache. If you have found the cache in a plastic bag I will be asking you to confirm your find and deleting any logs which can not be verified.

I found it in a dog poo bag

Nice hide

Lots of spiders

Thanks TFTC! It may need maintenance as there are no objects left in the cache anymore, but the hiding space was great!

It was fun

Fun Time

TFTC! Mooo...

Nice hiding spot

All is well but currently on top of an ants nest. Bring bug spray!

The final location of this geocache is close to a creek. It hadn’t flooded on Saturday, but things are likely to have changed since.

When I get an opportunity I will replace the log if it’s soggy. I’ll do my best! But please appreciate the parks in the area were still very waterlogged yesterday (01/03/2022) and I also have work and family commitments.

In the mean time if you seek this cache and the log is in poor condition, please let me know so I can prioritise it, but also take a picture as evidence of your find.

Caching adventures with Team Barritts for a few hours. Found in good condition with no troubles, tftc!

Great spot, quiet location today. Cache is in good condition, TFTC!

Found it 15/1/22

Found with my some and daughter

Easy

It was fun easier then the other one

Finally had a chance to put this one in place again. Happy hunting!

Replacement crafted!

Replacement missing already. New spot to be identified shortly

Geocahe missing.

Such a good spot!!

Our first find. Yippee

Found easily tftc

Freaked the hell out cos there was a massive huntsman on the bottom... Needless to say he cut my delectation short a little bit :')

First one ever!

Cleaned out the cache replaced plastic bag dried everything all good now, TFTC cheers

Out with Snickersallan and E_Smiley, we found this one together. There was a very green stamp in the container, which seemed to turn Snickersallan’s hands into a martian green colour .
We signed the log and continued our journey in this area.
Thanks
Domsky 

In the local area with geo friends after attending a tree planting CITO.
Nice quick find and the green stamp pad decorated my hand very quickly, thanks CO.

Found February 28, 2021

Needed to find some caches to complete the Wonders of the World - Solar System Wonders Level and this one had the Great Red Spot and the closest one where the CITO event was (actually near the tree climbing cache after the event. Lol). Yay!

Thanks for the cache and taking us here gumnutbaby. Enjoyed the adventure with Domsky and Snickerallan who was covered in Emerald after signing.

Black container in tree

Thank you for hiding it! It is our first find! Lots of great treasures
