The Bridge Chelmer, Queensland, Australia

Tftc. The hint certainly helped me.

Very tricky to retrieve.. We've placed it in an easier to retrieve spot. Didn't have a pen so use a pin to perforate our team name tftc!

Regarding The Bridge (GCAD351): I have to say, my experience with your geocache was extremely frustrating. The coordinates were completely off, and I wasted a lot of time trying to find it. On top of that, the condition of the container was unacceptable its clear it hasnt been properly maintained.Honestly, I expected more from a cache listed on this site. If youre going to post something, at least make sure its in working order and the coordinates are accurate. This was a huge letdown.I hope you take this feedback seriously.

replaced the log finally

found it you know who i am

Looking for a full after of caching on my SUP, I packed my car the night before.Deciding to make a day of it, I headed over the southwest side a bit earlier than required before heading to the event.Quickly spotted. I found your cache, The Bridge today.ImThatGuy3729371, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

TFTC!

Found after a little searching, took longer than it probably should have. TFTC

Went back a second time today after not being able to find it the first time. I think the hint threw us off, Id suggest sticking to looking around/on the bridge. We spent way too long flipping over all the rocks Bring mosquito repellent!!

I probably trolled a little more than I needed to but it did assist in spotting the hide. The log paper is rather scrappy so I just signed wherever I saw a blank spot. TFTC

Watch for webs, bring a lamp if not out in sunny weather

Quick find once we got in the right position to spot it, lovely locationTFTC

Thanks! Quick find. Log looking a bit tired. Added some tiny swaps

Had to be a troll for this one. All good with this one. Thanks for putting this one out for all to find.

Found this a couple of days ago but forgot to log it.Nice easy find. Very clever TFTC

There were a few cars lining the road when I arrived at GZ and I initially thought I might be muggled out of the hunt. Thankfully, the paths were surprisingly quiet and I was able to disappear into the underworld and scout around. No luck at one location, so I shuffled over and voila, container in sight, I moved into a more friendly body position for extraction and added my name to the log which is nice and dry. All done, I returned the container as found and hit the road.Thanks for the cache.

Another day another CITO to be had. Often these events are few and far between but this weekend we happen to have two in a row in South East Queensland. Awesome. Great chance to get the numbers up and to catch up with fellow cachers.This morning I had an hour or so to kill before the event so I decided to pick up a few not too far away, as a warm up. Found a safe place to park the car and it was a quick stroll across to ground zero. It wasnt too long before the cache was located and the log extracted and mark made.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available for fellow cachers enjoyment.Cheers

In typical fashion I went down one side only to find it on the opposite side. At least it was a little dryer now with the rain holding off for a bit. TFTC

Unusually, I chose the correct side to start my search and discovered the cache nice and quickly. I had to wipe away quite a number of spider webs before being able to put my hands on it though. Thanks ImThatGuy3729371

Lots of people in the parks today for the public holiday. I was on a bike ride doing the river loop so was good to stop off here to make a find. The container was on the ground so after making my mark, replaced it back up out of prying eyes and from being washed away. Tftc

Thanks for the log but i dont see why you had to add that it wasnt reasonable? This is a geocache. It is not supposed to be easy to find.

01/04/2024 - 11:28After a wonderful brunch down the road at Hunter and Scout, we set off for a little walk and the opportunity to grab a nearby cache.Well that was a frustrating venture. I knew what I was looking for and took far longer than reasonable to find it. Got there in the end however. marcussjd9#222TFTC

Down to the southside of the river to do a few caches with IolantheK Arrived at GZ and started to wonder about the hint Nice easy find in the end, though I think the cache log needs something to keep the moisture out TFTC ImThatGuy3729371

T-Tech and I had errands to run at Indooroopilly so we picked a few caches just south of the river to collect as well.We both went different sides of the bridge and T-Tech made the find. TFTC, ImThatGuy3729371.

Ill fix it soon if i can, thanks.

Found quickly log wet

i appreciate you checking on it for me

Checked on this one during a lovely afternoon bike ride. All is good!

Nice!

Out and about today to grab a few caches in all sorts of areas. The main reason was so I could collect attributes for Challenges and continuing a challenge that I have set myself. I have had this one on my list for some time now. I had been waiting for this date to come up before I can go and hopefully collect. I have missed a few previous dates and today I was lucky to grab this one and a few others as I passed by. I parked up near to the cache and wondered over. I had been here before and looked around with no luck. Today was different and I found the cache with ease. I did have to fight off those mozzies even my bushmans did not keep them away. With the log signed and the cache returned as found I was on to continue with the list of the day.

Mosquitos are quite rampant here. A quick find was required and achieved. Thanks for the cache and

Thanks for the hide. A bit easier finding mosquitoes but managed plenty of welts and a signature in the log. Thanks for placing and the smiley.

This morning the first thing on the agenda was to attend an Event at Graceville then it was time to cache. Even though the weather was not the best I did get some Smilies with RoddyC, Hatzofff and Selva Girls.This one took a lot longer than expected as we all had GZ on the other side of the bridge. Hatzofff eventually put her hand on to the cache. Log signed before replacing as found. TFTC

After finding a nearby cache, our little group headed to this cache. A bit of a search and the cache was located. With our names added to the log and everything returned as found, we continued on our way. TFTC

A not so early morning start this morning for an event to meet up before heading out to do some caching in the area.We noticed that this one had recently been replaced so good timing for us to go and find it. We were a little sidetracked as to where and what it was and with a thorough search in the wrong area, it was soon located.Out with RoddyC Imbunda and Selva Girls.TFTCache ImThatGuy3729371

Out in the Chelmer-Oxley area after a morning event.Three of us looked up when hatzofff found it. Sure blends in well.Log signed and cache replaced as found at 10:21 AM on January 12, 2024. TFTC, ImThatGuy3729371

Had to replace the cache after the storms.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ELINA! This is my first favourite point ever and Im very thankful.

This cache is very local to where I live so had I been available when it was first published, I could probably could have made FTF. Indeed, Ive even thought about placing a cache here in the past. After I missed the FTF, I decided to leave it sit until I needed a cache close to home.Im not any good at streaks (life is too busy) but I was thinking I might try to do a streak - just for the December/January school holidays (short streak, I know).In the late afternoon, I went to visit a cache at Yeronga today and couldnt locate it (within timeframe I had; semi-muggle husband waiting in car).So that meant going out in the dark at night if I wanted to even make a 3 day streak!! LOL. I dislike night caching. But Id solved 4 mystery caches today and wanted to find one of them. The Yeronga one wouldnt be great in the dark so I wasnt prepared to go back & try that one again tonight. Hence, I made my way to a Chelmer mystery cache Id solved earlier today. I think I know where it is but I didnt have the height to see it and I disturbed an ants nest. So I gave up on my second cache attempt of the day.But somehow convinced hubby he would drive me to #3. This one. Tonight ended up being the day/night I needed a cache close to home. Lots of spider webs and it was creeping me out in the dark (spiders are bad enough in day time!) and I was only having a half-hearted search (thinking I might give up pretty quickly). But then I remembered what the hint said and changed my tactic. Found quickly after this. TFTC! Favourite point because this cache is a local resident and because its helped me maintain my ultra-short streak. TFTC.

TFTC! Took me a lot longer than I thought to try and locate this cache, but after a sit and a think and back down again for my 3rd time, I came up with the goods.

PLEASE make sure you re-hide it better or the same as you found it. The paper was sticking out and it wasnt in the original position. Please please please put it back well everyone

A nice old bridge along this path, with a few dogwalkers enjoying the morning before it gets hotter. Like [kolour](https://coord.info/PRDR6H9), I expected to find this cache on a particular side of the bridge that my GPSr was pointing to, but then I followed up with a search on the opposite side to make a quick find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks ImThatGuy3729371 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today, following the regular Saturday morning parkrun and gymnastics, I escaped for a few hours to geocache the areas around Chelmer, Oxley, and Darra. I've enjoyed travelling around these suburbs in the past, and I targeted the *Oxley* series of WaterWays of Brisbane, and the highly Favourited geocaches by [stairman1](https://coord.info/PR4R27Z). As the heat and fatigue started to get the better of me, I ended my outing with a naughty McHappy Day burger and a few geocaches in Darra, before returning home in the early afternoon.

Oh, thats weird. Maybe some people who found it previously moved it.

Wanting to continue my geocaching streak for a challenge, I decided it was time to find this cache which was the closest unfound one to home. I too remember coming to this park and finding a very sneaky cache that is no longer here (I did have a look). Coordinates pointed to one side of the bridge but I found it on the other. Ive driven past here a few times over the past few months but it was busy with tradies - not today. Tftc

TFTC. Didn't even have to pay the troll this time

TFTC

This was a lovely cache that was local to me. It found it straight away as Im familiar with this particular style of cache. Just upgraded to premium! Great spot in a cute little space. Thanks for the cache!

I had an appointment in Stones Corner today, so we grabbed a few caches on the way back. An easy find here TFTC ITG

Driving through the area so collected a few caches along the way.

Tftc

Easy find tftc

Thanks for that hint! Found it quick. TFTC

Fun find with the kids

TFTC, genius disguise!

Nice

Usually I spend my afternoons driving my children to various places but today they are all at the same rehearsal so after dropping them off I came past here to have a look for this new cache.

At first I was looking all over the place without any luck. But on reading your recent post, I realised where I should be looking and after that it was a quick find. Thanks ImThatGuy for a fun hide.

I suffered from some cache blindness this morning. Thanks for the cache ImThatGuy3729371

Came back for the first time after it being published, take it easy on the log book and make sure to actually re-hide It well please. Also don’t make it too obvious when you put it back because no normal object would be right in the corner but overall it’s going well!

Indeed, you are that guy

I have searched for and/or found a number of hides in the vicinity over the years, but not right here. Not too much of a trauma or mud-bath accessing GZ where a few folk would appear to be taking note of the hint and playing turn-over. Soon spotted a likely spot and shortly added to the log. Like early finders, I would say the next flooding event ( maybe 2030 according to B.O.M.?) this would get washed away, but one can't make an egg without breaking a few omelets as they say. TFTC, ImThatGuy.

After a short look around, I soon spied what I was looking for. TFTC

I had some time to kill between meetings so popped over here for a look. It was easier to find than I expected it would be, especially with the right verticality. Thanks for the cache! I never found the one nearby but I guess it's been archived now. Cheers!

Did I make it too easy??

After a huge day yesterday on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail I wanted a nice easy find for the day…

So after dragging myself out after lunch I pulled up at GZ… it’s quite a busy bridge… but I had a break in the muggles to find the familiar container…

Thanks ImThatGuy3729371 and welcome to the game…

Beautiful Sunday morning for a walk. Haven't been to this park before. Looks great. Yes there were mozzie and ants. Leaning on the bridge railing contemplating my search when I realised a bunch of ants all over me. After brushing them off I got down and dirty and soon had the target in hand. Thanks for putting this out.

Thanks for the new cache here. I reckon there have been 2-3 here in the last decade but they seem to get taken out by floods or scrub turkeys!
I swung over after church and a St Lucia village coffee today to find Tricky T must have killed off or scared off the mosquitoes for me as I left unscathed.
I was just a little alarmed about needing to get down and dirty in nice clothes, but in fact I could see and grab the cache without any dramas at all, which is good!
TFTC where all is fine. Hope this one stays high and dry.

Hahaha sorry about the area of the cache also yeah hopefully it doesn’t get washed away but if it does I’ll be sure to make a new one to replace it soon after.

I’m sure the people around this area have been waiting for a new geocache for a while. Thanks to everyone for making it happen!

Just wrapping things up at work for the week and a ping on the phone caught my attention. Great, a new cache and not too far away.
A detour to this location on the way home, and there were plenty of people out walking dogs etc on the main concrete path, but not many utilising the bridge. I had a good look around and spotted something that might hold a log sheet. I was correct. Oh even better, it was a {FTF}.
The cache is nicely hidden and should last a long time. Thanks very much ImThatGuy3729371for placing this for our enjoyment. Cheers
