Ormskirk Street Park Calamvale, Queensland, Australia
By Crew 153 on 29-Apr-20. Waypoint GC8PYX9

I had finished my first job at Browns Plains and decided it was time to grab a cache or two between jobs since weve been a tad slack as of late.I parked up nearby and wandered on over. After a brief bush bash I arrived at GZ and uncovered the cache after a quick search. Unfortunately the log book was wet but I was able to make some sort of a mark in the log book.The CO has been notified.Thanks for bringing me here.#4427 - TFTC

such a pretty little spot at golden hour. we found the cache, but we didn't sign cause it was hella soggy.

Still very wet, if you have the resources to replace or repair it is recommended

All wet and soggy, needs refresh

It took a long time to find it but we found it

Was soggy so not touching it

Thanks nice and moist

Wet

Nice and wet

Found on a lovely afternoon, logbook was very damp from the recent rain and quite smelly

Nice easy find today. TFTC

Grabbing a geo or two before Parkrun. TFTC

I wasn't sure if I would make it here prior to the morning event, but I was close enough, that I thought I would dash out. A few tracks leading into this bushland, and I went a round about way before arriving at GZ to then be greeted by a fantastic tree! I then searched a few nearby logs until finding the right hollow that contained the prize. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [Crew 153](https://coord.info/PRPH14) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today, it was a morning outing to Calamvale with baby Cottontail, with some time spent geocaching in the vicinity visiting Parkinson, Acacia Ridge and Willawong, before returning home via Chelmer. An early start to attend and run Calamvale parkrun before catching up with other Geocachers at the [For the Tardy Mouse! #033](https://coord.info/GCAH0AV) geocaching event. We visited a couple of our playgrounds during our travels, and the morning went from warm to very hot, so there were not too many long walks from the vehicle.

After the nearby Tardy Mouse event, I decided to stay in this suburb to find a few caches before it got too hot. I had looked for this cache a year or two ago but it turned out to be missing. So this was my first time back in the area since then. After looking in a few hollows, I was glad to find the cache and remove the blue face. Even though the logbook was slightly damp, it was fine to sign and I noticed that Davidwazza had also been here after the event. Tftc

Thanks

Yay first one we found Hazar

My first one but log was very wet

Had to find another after school today.

Taking the trackable on an adventure.

Got it.
Log book is a bit damp.

Tigey

Out and about this morning to pick up a few south side caches on a brisk winters morning day in south east Queensland. Hopefully it warms up a bit

Found a safe place to park the car and made my way to ground zero to locate the cache. Didn’t take long before the cache was in hand and pen applied to the log. Returned the cache to its hiding place and trudged back to the car

A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.

Cheers

TFTC.

Log book damp still managed to sign

Cache has water damage inside.

I found it quite quickly, the paper inside was rather wet bit still signed it

The AL at Calamvale District Park didn't take as long as I thought and I still had some daylight left so drove up to Plymouth Pl and walked down to Ormskirk Street Park. Coordinates must have been spot on because I arrived at the gz and saw the cache straight away. The log was quite damp so, after signing it, I tucked the cache a bit further into it's hiding spot so it doesn't get as wet in the rain. Thanks Crew153 for finding all these little patches of bush that are perfect for geocaches.

Log book was somewhat wet when I found it otherwise it was a good find

Was a great little stroll and a cool little hide a bit wet but still able to sign the log

Despite finding some others, there's a little loop of Crew 153 'covid geocaches' west of Beaudesert Road, and I've had my eye on them for a while. I figured it'd be a good adventure on my scooter, quick and convenient not having to always find parking. And with my scooter back from a service just a few days ago, I decided to go this afternoon after some showers of rain had passed.

Silly Google Maps wanted me to head out onto the road from [Hamish Street Park](https://coord.info/GL19BE55H), but I decided to try go direct through the green space. Sure enough, it worked out and just moments later, I was near this GZ. It too looked familiar, and I think I semi-attempted this geocache about two years ago at night. Well, we should sort it out today.

Nobody around, so I headed into the bush, with the hint in mind and wandered around a bit. I first found a big ol' mushroom. But then standing at the co-ordinates, I spotted the container just a few steps away. Inside was a bit damp, but I managed a signature at 14:50 before replacing all back as found. From here, another longer leg of the loop. Thanks for this geocache, Crew 153

I had to grab a couple of caches today for a challenge I have set myself. Earlier in the day, I had a text from little triple turmoil and I asked if she needed a caching day. She jumped at the chance to head out for a little while. I had no set plans but we took the bikes just in case.

This was on the way around this area. I parked up and we walked around to find this one. The hint did help as little Turmoil read it out. I then found the hide and the cache. T had already found this one, it was me who signed the log, replaced as found and then we headed off to the next one. Thanks for placing this one here, all good here.

Found it took us about 10 minutes to find but it was in a easy spot very wet in sida beets to be replaced

Took us 10 minutes to find, we put an Woolworths Fixem in it

Tftc!

Bit concerned about the local creepy crawlers but soon had this one in hand
TFTC

Super easy find, thanks guys!

We head in the bush soon spotted what we were after.. signed

Out for some sunshine and caching today in the local area with the geodog and kids. I had major deja vu here, the youngest spotted and retrieved this one. Tftc Crew 153 ️

Found the cache in good condition. A nice straightforward find, neatly tucked away. Thanks Crew_153

A nice piece of Bush in suburbia. Cache found safe and well. TFTC

GPS was way off.

Good

Found

GPS bounces around a fair bit but we found it

I was asked if I would like to go caching and I jumped at the offer to join with Hatsoff RoddyC, Snickersallen and Grannysmith47 so we headed towards Durack and Calamvale for our fun. We were having difficulties with our GPS readings today and were getting a wide selection of readings, I eventually spied it for a little way away. Log signed and cache replaced as found.TFTC

Yesterday, we decided the weather would be good today, so a quick shoutout by hatzofff, and we have a hunting team of 5 today.

Bit of a struggle for the team to settle on coordinates. Eventually Imbunda became the hero.

Log signed and cache replaced as found on 3 April 2022. TFTC, Crew 153

Out for a day with some of the team. Targeting some Darra caches.

Travelling & Caching with RoddyC, snickersallan, inbunda, grannysmith1947.

Good cache
Found with kymmy7

Lots of muggles around but I disappeared into the trees and made a quick find. Left a trackable. Thanks for the cache

Nice easy find.good container for the logbook. TNLN TFTC

After completing a run around in the rain at the local Park Run event JezNDez and I decided to find a few of the local caches, including this one, before heading for home. The rain had eased off somewhat as we walked from the car to GZ, so we did not end up getting too wet at all while searching for the cache. Container found safe and well. TFTC

Out with lisylou and mnance101 today tftc

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

Nice quick find with bennyboppers and mnance101 today.

Having a few hours to kill, before picking our youngest grand-daughter up after school, we decided the best way to fill those hours was with a spot of caching.
#14 of 21 found today.

Lots of possibilties here but luckily Mrs VC was quick to spot the correct one.
Made our mark and replaced as found.

TFTC Crew 153

Out for a day of caching fun with Mr CuriousQuest. After finding a nearby cache, we headed to this one. I parked the geomobile nearby and we wandered over to GZ. There, the cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

Out today on the southside with Selva Girls to do some caches, most of which we both required. Searched for what seemed like ages for this one. Log signed and replaced. TFTC

The cache is in place. Not the big one

Still can't find nope not there in all trees

Looked in many places that matched the clue but couldn't find it.

You know when you get an idea in your head that the cache must be "here" and you persist with searching, even though you've covered the same places more then one... That would be me when looking for this cache. Many hiding spots that would have been ideal for a container, but nothing to show for the efforts of NurseyJulie and I.

Time to widen the search, but it turned out we didn't need to widen it much and of course, I had walked past GZ to get to my preferred location. A nice container was spotted almost in plain sight, and retrieved for business. Ah yes, why take the easy option when you can check lots of other areas first I always say.

Cheers Crew153.

A meet up with Gunnie69 today. Our mission was to get the wonders of the world souvenirs. Plenty of options to hide and seek a cache here! Several places were checked and Gunnie ventured a little further and his caching instinct won the day here. TFTC

Love

Not to hard to find. Nice camouflage. Not in the obvious spot.

TFTC, a bit of looking from mr. 9. Eventually spotted the find for a quick scribble of our name.

Good hiding spot

It’s never hollow when there’s a lego sailor inside

Last mental health cache for the day. Have to actually do some work now. Love being able to walk between caches. Cache is in perfect order. TFTC

There are a quite a few options that match the hint here. Only when we decided to check ‘everything’ again did we notice one we’d missed. And there was the cache. Nice one.
All is good here.
Thanks heaps Crew 153.

There may be a creature living in the hide as cache was out in open. Nice one.

I logged it but forgot a pen. Thanks for the find.

Nice work on the camo Crew 153... without the hint I’m pretty sure I would have skimmed over this cache...

Tftc... left some American coin...

Our third for the morning. Nice little area to explore. Geobuddy made quick work of finding this one but neither of us could open it so while friend stayed at location I took cache back to car for Mr muscles to open...the three of us make a great team
I quickly walked back to geo buddy...she was hard to miss with her bright yellow cap, and in a flash, the nicely camoed cache was replaced as found and we were on to the next.
TFTC Crew153

Thank you for another great hide.

The daily cache found!
Plenty of hiding spot here, after checking a few I surveyed the area and spotted the container in the corner of my eye.

Thank you Crew 153 for hiding these new caches

Found

Out for another pedal today. I headed in to the park from the north and there was a group of muggles walking around the central area. I decided to head over to this cache first.

The GPSr counted down and with 8m to go I headed bush. A few likely spots, but no luck. Checked the hint and checked the likely spots again.

No not there. Another possible over there, but no. Heading back to the original spot I spied another contender and a container.

All good with this cache.

Super well hidden but an absolutely great spot!! It’s so good to have these in my local area

Good won love the container we want to copy it

Was off a lil but found

It’s not in a log

Spiders!

Quiet here this afternoon after one dog walker was leaving as we arrived. Thanks Crew153 for the park cache.

A great tree hidden just out of sight in suburbia.

Of course the cache won’t be on or in it but you have to check. Checked all over and then expanded the search zone. Took about 10 minutes to find sneaky cache.

TFTC!

After a quick search and dodging the big spider webs found it

Venturing around Calamvale finding these new caches. Parked the car and walked towards GZ. Took a short time to find. TFTC Crew153
