A layover in Brisbane so a great excuse to grab some caches. Nice park here. In the company of fellow cachers. Thanks to the CO for placing these caches for others to find.
Great First find after working what Citengam means..Let the adventures begin.
Quick visit to the park with the kids. Had to wait for some muggles to move on. Log signed and cache returned as found. TFTC
After attending a CITO this morning, CuriousQuest and I headed out to find a few caches. I parked the geomobile near GZ and we wandered over. The cache was soon located and our names added to the log. With everything returned as found, we continued on our way. TFTC
Out and about with Selva Girls today. A quick look and the cache was in hand. Log was signed and replace as found. TFTC
Quick find with family this morning, nice and close to our accommodation for a stroll to GZ. TFTC!
The only one I attempted on this trip to Qld. Argh. Appear to have found the anchor point?
Out with T-Tech again today to gather a few more caches. This is certainly a great park, and I was glad to see GZ was a little way from everyone else. The cache was in the first spot I looked! TFTC and watawieh, endeavour3.
Out with IolantheK today to grab a few caches This one was a nice easy find in a lovely urban park, also enjoyed the history lesson about the nearby 1927 retaining wall relocation Cache is dry and in good conditionTFTC endeavour3
Heute beim Besuch von Brisbane konnten wir diesen Cache finden. Mega toller Park der viele Mglichkeiten fr Familien bietet. Vielen Dank frs Herfhren.Thanks for the Cache.
Last cache find at the end of our caching day out on the northside. Thanks E3 for the hide.
Out and about caching today. This is the final cache today. Arrived at GZ and after a short search cache was found. TFTC
Thanks to endeavour3 for hiding the cach, and also thanks to give me the ok for log. I was whitouth pen on the track.
Eat Street. Run the kids around at Hercules Park. Cache. Perfect family evening out.
with some contortions i could grab the little box.tftcurmasuri from bremerhaven/germany
Nice quick find. Picking up near hear so decided to try and grab this one towards the leap year souvenir.TFTC
Staying about 500m away so a quick stroll and dice with the trafficQuick find TFTC
First cache for the holiday which is a nice relief considering the dramas we have all had in the last week or today and getting together. This guardian was nearby and quite calm while we searched. Tftc
Nice hide, thought id find a few caches on my usual morning cycle ride. Lots of mozzies!! TFTC!!
Dnf my first cache attempt ever, i dont think i know what to do i was over at the bench where it says reclaimed river rock wall
After being unsuccessful last visit, we were back in the area today. Grabbed the last parking spot available and set off to GZ. Knowing where we looked lasted time, made for a nice quick find.TFTC
We were staying nearby and had lunch at this park. While the kids were enjoying the playground I snuck off to find this cache. TFTC
It is 1:30 am in the morning, and trying to rain, and I am trying to find a few caches as i drive past for work most nights. I found somewhere to park, raced across the park to GZ and started my search. I got lucky and found it in the first place I searched. Then it was off to find another in the short time I had. Thanks for the cache.
Knew parking was going to be a problem to took the bike. Quick find but not as quick as the mossies. TFTC
In the area this morning with a tiny bit of spare time, can always make good use of that.A quick find here at gz, thanks endeavour3 for the cache.
Ive tried to find a park near here a couple of times before, without success. But today, with light rain, I figured my chances might be better and they were.Only a few kiddies and dog-owners around here today so I could park in good conscience.What a great little nook for a clandestine meeting or a geocache. I got myself nice and grubby crawling around and rubbing my hands over every surface before finally spotting the cache in an unexpected position. After signing up, I replaced it just a little more discreetly.TFTC where all is fine and I could wash myself off at the nearby water fountain.
Going out for a walk and spotted this one on the map. Unfortunately didn't have a pen but... While in the bush... Why not sign it with my stick pen and mud ink? So many mosquitoes though and 2 of them died today - one half way through a meal. RIP. Also discovered a new playground which geostubs enjoyed thoroughly. Got back to the car just in time to beat the rain. TFTC!
TFTC! A quick early find before my flight, on my way to the airport. I wasnt sure what the hint meant and found it without. However googled it afterwards and now makes sense.
Last one for the day and we were lucky enough to grab a parking spot. Walked across the park and made a quick find. TFTC
It was a squally type of day with grey clouds overhead so the park was deserted, meaning that we could both search without being interrupted by muggles and find a car parking spot. Both much appreciated in an area such as this. The cache was spotted after a short hunt. We had started at the wrong side but that was rectified and the logbook stamped and returned. Thanks endeavour3
We managed to find probably the closest car park, although not that close for somebody with a mobility impairment and headed across the deserted park to GZ, where between the three of us, the cache was very quickly found indeed. Theyve done quite a lovely job of this park and I can imagine it being extremely popular at weekends. TFTC, endeavour3. =^.^=
It seems the cache has gone to play in the park.I will replace next time I am in Brisbane in early November
I looked everywhere- every nook and cranny and within 10 meters and could not find today. Went back twice until the morning families started to arrive in droves and didn’t want to get arrested haha. No luck for me… maybe muggled?
After returning from Hamilton Island to Brisbane we found this cache close to our hotel.
Thanks for the cache

After a tasty Butter Chicken at nearby Aamaya Indian restaurant, I checked the app and found that this cache was on my way back to my motel. A very well kept park, and a secluded GZ which made it an easy find. Nice hide, thanks.
Heading out to celebrate a family birthday, found myself nearby and thought I would stop in and grab a cache to bide my time. Didn't take too long to locate. All in good condition. TFTC.
We love this park! Amazingly well hidden from all else taking place here.
Geoson made a super quick find.
TFTC and bringing us out on such a gorgeous day.

On a roll. I was in the area for a work meeting, and with a current streak nearing a personal best, i looked at the map and spotted this cache. I was able to park on the diagonal opposite side of the park, and made my way over.
There are some impressive play structures here. Sure beats the 2 swings and one slippery slide in my local park as a kid. Will have to bring my two along to check this out in more detail.
Took a seat with a coffee and started the subtle poking and prodding and finally i felt something with a little 'give". The cache was extracted and my name was put in the dry log book. All was replaced and I was on my way back to the office.
Thanks very much for this cache placement Endeavour3. Cheers

Needing a cache a day for 28 days in the hope of getting my 3rd souvenir in the Wheel of Challenges I found this one with geo-friends.
This cache was easy to find, log signed by all and then replaced as found. TFTC

I know this area well and knew that there would not be any parking close to the cache and I was right so I headed to the old cruise terminal and found a park there and walked back to the area. It took longer than it should have to locate the cache but I eventually got into a position so that I could see it.

This local park has certainly seen transformation in my lifetime. I played junior rugby union on the field here when I was kid in the mid 70's. The field was rock hard, more often just dirt with prickles, and you ended up with scratches and scrapes when you were tackled. These scrapes would take ages to heal as I understand the field was built over the top of an old Council tip.
The most recent renovation here is a beauty! I just wish my kids, who are now all late teens, were younger, so I had an excuse to play in the park with them. I do like that they managed to preserve a bit of history from the KSD upgrade nearby
This afternoon I wandered past and made the quick find to keep my current streak alive for another 24 hours.
Many thanks endeavour3.

After a morning getting my hair all glammed back up, I decided to check the map and choose and area I would not normally frequent to grab a few caches, and maybe get a bit of a walk in. And so it was I decided to make my way around Hamilton.
I parked near this one and made my way across the grounds. People were spread around the area, with school holidays on, however I was pleased with the CO’s clever placement away from the hub of activity and prying eyes, making searching, signing and replacing possible without looking suspicious.
