Sweet or not so sweet? Paddington, Queensland, Australia
By alisnan on 11-Feb-22. Waypoint GC9MT9J

Out on an early morning hunt. Once I had the right angle. The cache was found. Thanks for the cache and

Tftc. Spotted it quite quickly.

After a recent dnf on this cache I looked around in a few places and soon found it Thanks Alisnan for Sweet or not so sweet?#6231

No luck for me here.

Bluey is getting serviced at Albion, so a good day for a trip to the City with Essie. Nice quiet spot in the middle of a weekday morning.

Nice easy fins. TFTC

I looked from above I looked from below but this one stayed hidden.

On my second attempt, after 20 minutes of searching, I was about to give up. As I turned around to leave the garden it was right in front of me. TFTC

Lovely corner of Paddington. And yet the icb is so close. Stopped to enjoy the view then noticed something close by. Quick grab. Tftc

Went with CO to do maintenance and signed the log. TFTC

Cache is indeed missing. Maintenance run to replace today. All ready to be found again.

No tether, no cache...

Semi retirement now allows me to do early morning Event through the week so today's super early start took me to Tardy Mouse Coffee with Hatzofff and RoddyC. Quite a crowd attended today then it was off to find some caches while on the Northside of Brisbane. This was a quick find. Log signed before replacing as found.TFTC

We had an early mousy coffee event over northside, so an opportunity to organise some unfound caches.Nice quick find with a good hint in the 'burbs.Log signed and cache replaced as found at 12:27 PM on December 14, 2023. TFTC, alisnan

Early start this morning to attend the event with the tardy mice.Now for some caching. After lunch now. Nice to pick up a cache owned by a CO we know.TFTCache alisnan

Found with Houladan. Fun one to adventure to

Looked in the wrong spot at first so pleased to get CIH. TFTC- now to walk back up that hill to St Brigid! Is this the steepest street in Australia?

Easy find

Out finding a few caches with CuriousQuest. My phone wanted me further down the slope than where CuriousQuest found the cache. With our names added tot he log, we were soon on our way again. TFTC

Out and about with Selva Girls today. A nice quick find at GZ. Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC

Found with the help of past logs. Nice spot. TFTC

oh that high side lol

In the city with Barb. Always time for a cache or two.

Nice quick find.

Noice tftf

After finding a nearby cache, I made the short walk up here for a quick find.

To bad so sad

Didn't even know where to start, maybe next time

alisnan I found your cache Sweet or not so sweet? on 30/4/2023, 4:00 pm. This is my find 5154 and find # 13 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

On a little tour collecting the AL along with a couple of caches. You could almost park right next to this one to retrieve it! Tftc

Nicely hidden from muggles. Tftc

Nice easy parking close to GZ where the cache was quickly found. TFTC

The streets around here surely must be amongst the steepest in the city. We originally stopped on the other side of the park and then saw the cache was at the opposite end. Not wanting to hike up the hill, we drove around to find a park almost directly opposite GZ. The hint made for a nice quick find. Thanks alisnan

A lovely but hot Sunday afternoon spent in the general area collecting caches and completing ALs, my trusty geopup happy to be out and about.
The local birds weren't too happy when we arrived, so we walked away then snuck back. I have an irrational fear of birds, so I was on tenterhooks the whole time and felt extra satisfied when we signed the log unnoticed. Cache was quickly found, log signed and all replaced as found.
Thanks alisnan for the cache.

Quick find thanks to a great clue

Hubby made the quick find today. TFTC

It was sweet enough for me. TftC.

Funny how after a fee hundred caches your brain becomes trained - rewired, even.

Was walking past this quaint little park and immediately thought, “There’ll be a cache in there.”

A quick, easy urban find! TFTC

Found myself in the area on a Sunday morning so had to stop for a look.
Cache was quickly found. All is good here.

Dropped my daughter at her first rehearsal at the Brisbane Arts Theatre today. She has been going to watch shows at this theatre for years and is so excited to finally be performing up on stage. Then off to do my thing - find all the geocaches in the area! Nice quick find here. TFTC!

Searched for a while but didn’t see anything

Tftc Alisnan, in this part of Brisbane for a very short time so a drive to the nearby caches is called for
Beautiful grevillea here.
Quickly found thanks

kolour and I were able to get together again today, and after we took the walk out to A Cursed Pistol, we decided to find a few caches that we both needed.

We found convenient parking up top and wandered to GZ where the cache was quickly located. TFTC, alisnan.

Out geocaching with IolantheK today, first The Cursed Pistol, then some of the very few that IolantheK hadn’t found. Didn’t take too long to find among the beautiful flowering grevilleas. Tftc

Found it all good
Thank u

Awesome

My companion spotted this so quickly!! tftc

Easy!

TFTC

Really good hiding spot. Tethered means tied.

This evening during my commute back home, I thought I would take a slightly different route passing by a couple of geocaches in Normanby. There was no Suncorp Stadium game this evening, which allowed me some solo tie to search for the various geocaches without getting surprised by rugby muggles.

My initial approach for this cache was on the lower path until I read the recommended access, so it was then a hard slog riding up the very steep path up to the end of Sweetman Street (I assume this is where the associated park and this name comes from haha, so alas no lolly or icecream shop that I had hoped). After then riding back to GZ, it was a short search before the cache was located. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks alisnan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After dropping off a friend to a party I felt like a walk in the cool night breeze and seeing that there were some new caches in the area decided to grab a couple. Happy to find it fairly quickly in the dark. TFTC

I wood v stepped thu railing....but logs suggested I need not do so....a quick find, in heavy rain!T4TC:-)

Accio 21:21:55
On uber-duty tonight - so with a couple hours to kill in the area figured time to knock off a few more of these newer caches in this area. A quick find here in the dark, although the dog across the road wanted a piece of me I think. Thankful for fences.

Thanks alisnan for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #10634}*

Found it

Really happy to find a group of new caches in the Paddington/ Petrie Terrace area! I decided for Good Friday I’d try for 6. This was the fourth cache and on the edge of Paddington. I walk up Stoneleigh Street regularly as it’s the 2nd steepest road in Brisbane, with a great view from the top. I love this small park. The laneways are quirky and cool here too. Thanks Alisnan for placing this cache.

It’s very sweet if you find a micro quickly in Sweetman Street!
Mrs Riddell obeyed the hint and was just about to put her second leg through the road railing when she looked sideways and quickly spotted it as described.
Very noisy rainbow lorikeets live here….. no different to Victoria.
TFTC

At and about just before lunch to close out a hole in my caching calendar. I think there are 18 more to go.

Quick find

No one around but the garbage truck and I made a quick find. Thanks for the cache

I stood and looked over the rail for a few minutes before I spotted the cache.

TFTC alisnan

Relatively quick find here, really pretty park and beautiful houses around. Cute birds too!

Working at Suncorp Stadium tonight for the first home game of the season for the Broncos. Went for a walk at half time. A quick find and replace. TFTC

Easy find with Team Lambo

Three caches on a small cluster, my target for this afternoon.
Ducked in here and soon the log was signed
Thank you for hiding this geocache alisnan
Find number 25299

Out today to continue my little personal challenge that I have set myself. I have found that if I do not set a goal I will just sit in front of the computer and get sucked into all the little worm holes it has, lol.
So I headed out to grab a cache I could not find last time and grab another as I was passing. This was a nice find and as I parked pretty close to the cache, it was an easy find here. Wearing my high viz clothes again seems to stop people from wondering what I am doing. I signed the log and made my way to my target for the day. Thanks for the nice new cache, all good here.

Great another cache not far from work so i rode here and it was a sweet ride to GZ and a sweet find but the hill back up elston st was not too sweet (rather sweaty) . I had to push my trusty bike all the way up. It did give me time to admire the beautiful houses around here . It was then it was a sweet ride back to my car . I did get my exercise today and it was sweet to discover another new park. Thanks for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy. All up i say it was sweet

With time for one more cache before collecting the BF from the chiropractor I landed on this new cache…

The cuteness factor of my caching companion meant I couldn’t just walk past the couple sitting on the bench… but thankfully they weren’t anywhere near the cache…

Once at GZ it was a nice quick find… tftc…

Out collecting a few inner city suburb caches after a coffee event earlier in the morning.

*FTF* after 11pm…
All of TeamTinda were at a wedding at Mt Gravatt until late. Eventually I noticed two publications not far off the way home and since I had my own car there, I didn’t need to bug anyone else by taking a little detour.
I was a little surprised that the FTF team at the other new cache had not come here too… or had they, and not mentioned it? It was worth the chance.
I pulled up quietly (somewhat easier than usual in my new EV) and set to work by phone torch light. After missing it on the first pass, I climbed down a little and was clambering around here and there, with occasional disturbing buzzes in my ears. Wasps? Bees?
After checking the T rating again, I went back to where I started and spotted the tether at last.
Nice to be FTF and I guess this one is a lot easier in daylight. TFTC where all is fine.
