A quick easy find while visiting Minippi Parklands this afternoon to find a few caches in and around the area. All was good with it. TFTC
Found today on my birthday geo run along the bike way with SCAHPA.When she asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I said go for a geo bike blitz - as always she was totally on board! Here's to many caches today logged as CS43 to save room - TFTC
.Long morning walk following the Bulimba Bikeway Bison Bash. 18 new caches found despite some caches inaccessible because of muggles and one because of a snake. Many thanks to all the COs for populating this area. Greetings from France
Mine was the second entry in the log sheet today. An easy, quick find. TFTC, RoddyC.
Out and about with IolantheK this very hot avo testing out her new GPSr Our daughter and her family asked if they could join us, so we arranged to meet up at the Aero Club latter.Nice easy find in great condition Now for a circuit of the lake TFTC RoddyC
This afternoon T-Tech and I were looking for a bit of a walk to test out my new GPSr, and happily our daughter and her family asked if they could join us, so we arranged to meet up at the Aero Club at 3.30pm. We stopped to visit this cache on our way to the parking area. A quick find and sign. TFTC, RoddyC.
I was passing by in the work truck and running a little ahead of schedule at 1:30 am. 
So, as one does, I checked the app and there are a couple of caches I think I can find in the time I have. 
And, importantly, there is a turn around at the end of the road because I am in a heavy vehicle that is about 9m long. 
There is a BLOODY GATE. 
I will worry about turning around AFTER find the cache. 
Armed with a portable spotlight I headed to GZ. I found the cache after a short search. Added my name. Now, the turning around thing ... mmm ... I think it was only a 5 point turn and I did not hit anything (well, no loud bumps or bangs and I am not getting out to check). And back to work. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache.I have lost count of how many we found today, the path along the bulimba creek is just full of geo caches
This is another busy spot in the afternoon with a TRU vehicle, RACQ ute and a delivery driver all stopped nearby. Apparently it is not the spot to wait in the morning. I do like when the potential hiding places are minimal. [:o)]
I do like when the potential hiding places are minimal. [:o)]Today i had a plan to come out this way with my E bike and discover the bike tracks while collecting smileys. All up i found 16 caches in only just over 2 hours and had a great ride . This was my second find and there were some people enjoying the Aero club today but i was far enough away to be out of sight and spotted the cache quickly . Thanks RoddyC for all the fun .
I was out today to grab a few caches. I found 25 today. Two of them were for a challenge I am working on. I had fun day caching. RoddyC thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.
RoddyC I found your cache Model Aero Club - BBBB on 2/3/2024, 3:55pm. This is my find 6440 and find # 11 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
7th one for today. Out on the deadly treadly chasing caches. Chasing the BBBB series. TFTC
6 of 53 today.Shazzar66 & I spent Australia Day riding the Bulimba Creek Bikeway. We rode 42 Km's today, looking for caches. It was overcast, hot and humid, but we had a successful day.We started at Wynnum Road and turned around at Broadwater Road. Our strategy was generally to stick with the BBBB series, unless a cache was on the Bikeway and even then some we decided to bypass. The plan was to find more than our previous daily record of 51 caches. We didn't leapfrog, but did each cache together. We've ticked off a whole pile of caches today, with only 2 DNF's.Logs were signed ShaDup.My apologies for the generic logThanks, RoddyC, for the BBBB series.
I headed out in the geo-bike for a few caches today Duppers.We decided to hit a few of the BBBBs.I found your cache, Model Aero Club - BBBB today. This is my 2623 find.This one made for a quick find. Signed as ShaDup.RoddyC, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
An afternoon with baby Cottontail riding the Bulimba Creek Bikeway whilst visiting and finding the fifth instalment of the *Bulimba Bikeway Bison Bash* (BBBB) series. Regarding our bike ride, I parked at Carindale Recreation Playground aka. "Rocket Park" off Bedivere Street and Cadogan Street, and I rode a total distance of 17.4 km across an elevation of 76 m, with a moving time of 1:10 hr and elapsed time of 2:10 hr, as per my [Strava record](https://www.strava.com/activities/10631573107). It was another enjoyable ride that passed through Cadogan Street Park and Minnippi Parklands with plenty of shade, and we U-turned at Wynnum Road. I had visited the parklands a few times before for geocaching and parkrun, but it was my first by bike. There were plenty of mosquitoes that greeted us each time we neared Bulimba Creek, so it was always a quick logbook sign and getaway.With baby Cottontail and I on our bike, we arrived at this cache, and the cache was located quickly! The cache container and logbook were in good shape. We utilised this location for baby Cottontail to have a "bush wee", and I didn't realise that there must be stagnant water nearby with an army of mosquitoes protecting the area, so that was a fun experience trying to juggle a two-year-old crouching and swatting away the flying blood-drinking menaces. Thanks [RoddyC](https://coord.info/PRC80AY) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This morning, [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), baby Cottontail, and I headed to the Redcliffe Peninsula to Newport for the [Australia Day out Scarborough way](https://coord.info/GCAJ4F3) event and a swim at Settlement Cove Lagoon. It wasnt as hot as previous years, but the lagoon was still just as busy.This afternoon, baby Cottontail and I completed instalment #5 of the *Bulimba Bikeway Bison Bash* (BBBB) series by bike, riding north from Carindale Recreation Playground (Old Cleveland Road) to Wynnum Road through the Minnippi Parklands. An enjoyable ride that followed and crossed Bulimba Creek, with a few hungry mosquitoes about!
Walk straight up to this one and then nearly put my hand on a bug as I went to open the cache. I shrunk back in surprise and The Marble took over but decided to flick the bug off first. Her wild flicking made it land straight on my hat much to our amusement. After that bit of shenanigans, the cache was attended to. Thanks RoddyC
A nice easy find. Just had to flick a bug off to access cache and replace. TFTC
This was a Joint *FTF* with the KKKK group after attending an Event nearby.After a short search we found the container, and signed the log with KKKK to safe space on the log .Tftc RoddyC

*** Joint FTF *** with the attendees of the KKKK Event earlier this morning. After the Event was over it was time to head off with a small group to find some caches.Some geo-friends rode bikes, escooter or walked around the bikeway. Logs were singed as KKKK to save space. It was a fun day. TFTC
(Joint* FTF*) TFTC smile 17449 ?? out and about on a lovely day ?? having a great time finding a few local caches after the Event today Thank you RoddyC for placing this cache for our enjoyment ????
This morning after a group get together at the Kaffee, Kinly Kick-ass Kaldi event, a few of us raced around picking up the newly placed caches along the Bulimba Creek Bikeway. There were bikes, scooters and a few on foot and in car. Whatever mode of transport was selected, it was definitely a hot one. Thanks very much for placing all these caches for us to find RoddyC. It was tremendous to be able to claim a group {FTF} on this cache and so many others today. All good here with the cache and the log sheet. Cheers for the fun
Although I missed the event lead up event, I managed to catch up with the usual suspects very quickly and enjoyed venturing into another different suburb that I hadn't been to before.The logs were signed as the KKKK group, and all the containers were found in great condition.Thank you, RoddyC, for placing this lovely bikeway trail of caches for the benefit of the geocaching community ??
**FTF** jointly found by KKKK groups after the early morning event.We traversed the tracks by cars, bikes and Scooters. We did a lot of walking in between car pickups, walking along in happy conversant groups.Great day I was happy to be part of ??Space saved in logs by signing KKKK.TFTC RoddyC
Happy to be part of the KKKK joint FTF group which headed out after RoddyCs KKKK event.We headed out With Muggle65 and GreenGecko1Thanks Roddy
Joint *FTF*After attending the KKKK event this morning, I was offered the use of an e-scooter to pick up these caches along the bikeway. What fun that was!! There were a few bike riders as well, jostling to be first to sign the logs. Came across many walkers along the way.All caches were found in good condition and signed KKKK group. TFTC RoddyC
*FTF*Another early start to the day with a drive to the southside to find some caches and attend an event. I arrived at the event to find some eager and fun cachers all fuelled up for the morning's events. The usual chatter and the usual laughs. This was a special event for me as it turned out to be my 200th event that I have attended. I guess I will also admit that my attending events was for a challenge that I signed when I was overseas. All of a sudden the sounds of laughter and chatter was broken by the announcement of the event was finished and then an email hits our phones. OH MY, it was time to get down to business. Files loaded and hi ho hi ho its off to find some caches we go. First was the MOB cache and then a chat with a couple others and we were on the bikes to ride the trails. This was a nice trail ride and possibly the longest ride of the series. All points were in place and the caches were easy to find. All caches were signed and replaced as found. There were couple of fun caches along the way. Kind of sad that the Sunday events have finished. Thanks for all the work on these caches and the previous ones.
Joint [FTF] with a fun group of cachersAfter enjoying an early morning catch up with fellow cachers, a cracking chicken toastie and a drink at Roddys kick off event, I took up the very kind offer from the CO and Hatzoff of a loan of a scooter. I headed off with the bike and scooter pack and we made relatively quick time, finding and signing the multitude of Bisons on the route. At the end I made my way back but quickly run out of battery. After a fair bit of pushing and walking, Chamad came across a tie down strap and got the benefit of a tow back to the car. Thanks mate I owe you.Appreciate the hard work put in by the COs.Cheers
I was very happy to be part of the KKKK joint *FTF* group which headed out after RoddyCs KKKK event. We had grouped into those who were cycling/scootering and those who were driving as it was too hot to walk any long distances. Alisnan and Team Benders joined me for the drive around, often joining up with another car group and occasionally the cyclists. All caches were found quite easily, signed KKKK, and replaced as found. Tftc
[***Joint FTF***]An early morning start to the day with an event. Event over it is now time to find some caches. Then some more.All great finds and especially with friends as we walked the Bikeway sometimes being overtaken by our faster moving geofriends.Logged as KKKK to save on space on the small logs.TFTCache RoddyC
FTF joint with the mob. A quick stop and cache find. Saw model aeroplanes here today flying around. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks RoddyC. All good with this cache.
*FTF* Jointly with all the eager geocacher out on a Sunday morning. With the KKKK crowd out & about on bikes , scooters in cars & on shanks pony there were plenty of eyes available to search for these bisons (no not that sort of bison!) A lot of fun & comradery was had by all. Thank you RoddyC for all the hard work & effort in keeping us entertained. TFTC
