Tftc( Box broken I put note book in a small snack bag so it did not get more wet as it is )
We thought the people living in this street certainly wouldn't have a lot of traffic pass by. I guess this was right because there was a little yappy dog nearby who must not see a lot of action. When we pulled up he took this as an opportunity to have a bark. And bark and bark and bark. I parked not too far away and made my way to GZ. I managed to find the container and sign the log pretty quick and got out of there, hopefully the dog was happy then that we left.TFTC
Thanks for the new cool forrest walk. Cache may need some maintenance, cracked lid.
Very easy cache. Found it very quickly after reading hint. Devices to put a bunch of leaves on top to camouflage it better. Its still visible. Very large container. It isnt a micro. Tftc
3 May 2024 5:26 pmI know its only day 3 of May, but I am hoping to be able to get a month straight of caching, already today I almost didn't get one - it was a bit rainy, getting dark, I was tired after work, where I thought one was, wasn't! Instead the kids and I got up left the house, bought some milk and ducked into this little spot. The find was found pretty quickly, signed and returned.It also helps to fulfil a challenge if I go for it this month.TFTC
Today I had a little time to myself and found I was over on the jindalee side of the river. Hmm what caches are around here I might be able to get. I saw a nice little group and a run which would be perfect for my challenges. I headed over to seventeen mile rocks for my next caches.I set off but as time was the limiting factor I do not think I will be able to get all of them. This was the third in the run and a nice hide. I did stop and parked not far from the cache, I think it is in there, then used the hint. I walked around and spotted the cache as I walked in, then sure enough it was there. A nice and dry log, I signed it and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache and the nice hide.
#7733 On our last full day in Brisbane we had some family commitments so just went for a couple of little caching drives, chasing tree climbs and fishing and other interesting caches along the way, we had our fair share of DNFs today, but had fun in any case as always.This was a quick park and grab. I doubt it is presented currently how it was originally hidden.Thanks for the cache!
#7733Were up in Brisbane for a few days visiting my grandparents, so in between being at home and other various activities, we have time to do some caching! We have our full range of TOTTs with us, so were targeting those caches. end of copy paste Quick find, container has certainly seen better days though.Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache bloyce
Quick find at lunch time today. Had a gap in my calendar, and i spied this location a couple of kilometres from work. Easy parking on the verge at the start of the one way section. A very short walk and i spied the likely hiding spot from the path. My guess was correct and the cache container was extracted from under its cover. The log book was good and dry here and my name was quickly signed. All replaced and i was off. A great spot here - despite close to houses, the actual cache location is sheltered and secluded. Great spot - thanks very much for placing for the enjoyment of the community bloyce. Cheers
Staying in the area with my brother and getting some caches. All good with the cache. Thanks
I headed out in the geo-car for a few caches today.Decided to hit a few along the way to visit my granddaughter for her 1st birthday.I found your cache, Alphitonia today. This is my 2581 find.Quick find but like the previous finder said, the co-its are out.bloyce, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
Got to GZ and the hint helped a ton. My caching partner couldnt contain himself so he ran straight to it and got it. Put in some swag and a pen. The size rating threw us off a bit though. Nice one, thanks for the cache! Coolabah OUT!!!
TFTC! It’s been replaced as the old one went missing. Really lovely place! Added another prize!
Missed this one for a long time but some recent bush clearing made it a bit too easy now!
I'm a little late in logging this one. Found 19/08/23.
We actually found two caches in here about 10 metres apart! One which is a replacement and the original a little further in. We signed both.
Thanks bloyce for placing cache.

Thanks bloyce for placing cache.
Very fun! I enjoyed looking for it. Relatively easy to find, though size was definitely not micro. More like medium. 
Went this morning 28/06/2023 and someone has moved it. Not the first to have this happen. I've added a temporary cache for everyone until the original returns. Hope you like it!
Looked in the obvious spot based on other activity, but it doesn’t seem to be there. We’re a bit stumped
Sneaky! Loved it. It has unfortunately got quite a bit of moisture in it so the logbook etc is damp.
Very nice find. Very interesting container. Very impressive. Log book is damp and my need replacing.
This one merely stumped me GPS was bouncing all over the place. thanks so much for placing.
Found & thanks for the cache. You are not looking for a micro - it fits a full size pen! It is not far from the path but if your coordinates are jumping around a bit (like mine), I suggest looking at the earlier log about stump vs log (mentioned in hint). Yes, I looked at the hint when I couldn’t find it straight away due to time constraints but also because I really wasn’t keen on those spider ️ web “nests”!! Or, after googling, are they caterpillar moths?! Creepy either way. I hate hairy caterpillars. Rather large too.
Bit of a maintenance run. With hatzofff and imbunda.
Fairly easy find, but more of a stump than a log.
Log signed and cache replaced as found at 1:33 PM on July 24, 2022. TFTC, bloyce

On a caching and maintenance mission in this area today.
In my day that would have been called a stump.
Travelling and caching with RoddyC and imbunda.
