Ok, gone missing again. Will disable until I decide whether to replace, relocate or archive.
Came to tackle this one again and found it straight away but only because it had fallen on the ground so we put it back up again in the spot we thought was where it had fallen from with @lacuna__
Couldnt find this one with SkyeMartin12, but not from lack of effort We dont think
Didnt find this one today but managed to get my yearly workout in by all the chin ups we did trying to find it will try again another day with @lacuna__
Love the idea of the location but quite a bit of graffiti. Ive seen my share of doodles today.Cache could use some quick maintenance as people have scribbled crap on the baggie itself but overall thank you.
Disabling until I can fix it.Apparently cache has unpleasant graffiti over it.Cheers Oztracker11
Replaced log and baggie as both had unsavoury graffiti on them.All good to go.NOTE: Updated D and T ratings to better suit placement.Not done by me but heartily approve Today I moved it just a little to be less visible.Cheers
School holidays - a good time to avoid High School courting couples! Nice cache reachable without much more than a step up. Nice hide - TFTC
Was driving past so thought I’d drop in here but I can’t find anything unfortunately.

A solo day of Wednesday wanderings today, I decided to head over to this side of town and clear a few caches off the map.
The day was getting on. I parked in a side street and wandered down the access path to thankfully find the location muggle-free. A quick glimpse and an altered attack point and I soon had the cache in hand, no additional TOTT required.
I am glad I grabbed it when I did, as after walking the circuit around here, I headed back past this one to the car and there was a rather amorous young couple at the table, which would have definitely made claiming this cache impossible at that stage!
Thanks for the cache Oztracker11.

Found it in the grass, not sure where it was originally hiding. Put it pack near the area
Not sure if it’s our lack of searching ability or if the little guy has gone missing again 
Will come looking for him again soon!
Will come looking for him again soon!Last one for the day and Muggle hubby came for the brief walk as I thought I might need him as a TOTT . In the end he was not required as my eagle eye spied the cache. All good here. Tftc
#8 while out on the geo-scooter today. Decided to head south-east for a few. Easy find. TFTC, TFTH, TNLNSL & TFT
I decided to come out here for a bike ride to do the Cycling to Redlands series and pick this one up along the way. There were council muggles mowing nearby so i waited while they moved on and then after looking in a lot of wrong places i spotted this tiny cache. Thanks for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Today I decided to head out on 2 wheels and grab some caches. A little stop in here to grab this one and without any muggles in sight I was able to find it without any issues. Tftc Oztracker11
After joining an enthusiastic group of cyclists to explore the trails around the area this rainy morning, four of us continued on to find a few more, including this one. We enjoyed the variety of hides, some tricky, some straightforward, and most were quick finds thanks to the many cachers that we ride with. All up we rode 30km today, signing logs RRG to save space.

I put my hand up when the call was made as to who would be up for a bike ride around this part of the Redlands.
A group of us all headed out today and found quite a few caches.
Some easy, some hard but all thoroughly enjoyable.
To save space and for ease the log was signed as RGG.
TFTC and for putting all the caches out for us to find.

This morning, I joined Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) with a morning of finding the *Cycling the Redlands* geocaches series. The rain had magically disappeared from the start of our ride, and it was an enjoyable group session. I then managed to target a few older geocaches in the area before heading home.
In the afternoon, jesswrigley and I headed out and took a walk along Enoggera Creek in The Gap, finding a few of the *On Your Bike* series from #11 to #6. Again, the rain stayed away long enough to have a decent walk along this stretch whilst passing by many muggles similarly enjoying the afternoon.
Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) consisted of bedmakerTG, DisSister, eatmorchikin, JQTB, La Kedi, nikid1, TaxisVW and DrPam, and teamdfl, as well as our esteemed leader Ruzzelz. Meeting at Scribbly Gums, we rode to the eastern end of the trail, with the plan to ride west and collect the caches in the series. We took a coffee break in the middle of the series at the nearby Alexandra Hills Shopping Centre, as well as a few miscellaneous geocaches that we encountered along the way. In total, we rode an approximate distance of 20 km.
We stopped off at this geocache, and as we started to search, it was eatmorchikin who made this quick cache find on behalf of the group. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and we signed as *RRG* / *RR* to preserve space in the logbook. Thanks Oztracker11 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Joined an enthusiastic group of cyclists to make the run through the trails here, stopping every so often to take a wander into the bush or ponder a structure. A great variety of hides, some tricky, some straightforward. Thankful that many eyes made short work of the hunting in most instances and that the rain kindly stayed away. All up we rode 30km today, signing logs RRG to save space. TFTC Oztracker11
A call was put out on Facebook to join up for a bike ride and do a nearby series. Still with a few days of rec leave left I couldn’t refuse. There were familiar faces and a few new ones which is one of the reasons I like these type of events as you can never know too many cachers.
In all we did 20km of riding (we did have to detour off the track for a coffee break)
Swing past here on the way to coffee. Thank you for replacing this.
Logs signed as RRG to save on log space.
TFTC Oztracker11 for putting out this series.

Another slight detour from the bikes, on the bikes. This one was located before I even got to GZ.
Found with a large group of crazy pedalers today. Logs all signed RRG for the group. I don't think I actually found any of the caches myself. I was close at a few, and added our team log to some. Many I did not get near as the group often made for quick finding.

Doing a ride with a group past this cache on 28/12. Any chance it will be back in action by then?
Checked on cache and it is definately missing...Again!
This time the base plate has been removed as well.
Disabling until I can replace both parts of cache.
Cheers, Oztracker11

Thanks Deaf Phantom for letting me know it was missing.
All good to go now

After our misadventures of tree fishing this morning we needed something to spark our enthusiasm in caching again. I had a few on a list and a couple of caches as we passed by in the area. I only had a few hours to play before school pick up so I had to make the most of what day that was left for me.
This was an easy find, thanks for placing this one here. With the log signed and cache replaced as found we were off to the next one in the area.

Thank you, Oztracker11, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

I had to be content with being a passenger this time, but in the company of hatzofff, chamad and grannysmith1946, that's not such a bad thing.
Nice one!
Log signed and cache replaced as found on May 6th 2021. TFTC, Oztracker11.

Out riding at Scribbly Gums this morning and then decided to seek out a few caches.
Seems it was once again my turn to have a little lie down while riding. Absolutely smashed it into a tree. Have had a previous event like that at Scribbly a few years back. Coffee therapy seems to work well so off caching I went.

Even though we have found a few caches, we are still learning valuable lessons all the time. Someone once said, that life is but a lesson, but that person clearly never discovered the joy of wine because both myself and Mrs Woodyrothwell have forgotten more information over our lives than a young mind could ever absorb.
The lesson that I learnt at this cache is not to log the find on your phone after a couple of Savvy B’s when you have stuck your fingers in some French onion dip. In the middle of logging I felt something crusty on the phone face and so sucked my fingers and started cleaning the screen, scratching hard.
So back to the lesson - if you log your caches after a few drinks, expect the cache to dance around the screen while you clean it. Don’t then be surprised if you find your map in Russia and your selected cache over a 100,000 kilometres away. tftc

Nice and relaxing spot for a find. Thank you. Out walking and didnt have a pen so was unable to sign
A sinch as described. Stopped by on the way back from the dog park! Nice little cache!
Found today on our family bike ride and tweezers would have been a good idea. Managed to sign the log.
