Easy find once we expanded the search area a little. Thank you very much for the cache!
The road was unbelievably busy with so many buses. We couldnt work out why until after this cache we discovered how close to the shopping centre we were. Every bus route starts down this stretch.Even with the noise of the traffic we could hear someone across the road singing, and not well. Some people say bad singing is like strangling a cat, well what we heard was someone strangling a whole herd of elephants.Actually listening to bad singing is a good thing. It makes you feel happy and brings a smile to your face. Mrs Woodyrothwell and I looked at each other and we were smiling uncontrollably. We knew the song and had to join in with them. tftc
Determined to complete the BBBB series this year!Had to think outside the box for this one, but found without too much trouble.
.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
On the hill we take itNice little little one to hide onThe wind is making cold
After finding the previous cache I walked to this one only to find that I was on the wrong level. I decided not to take the direct approach so I took the long way around. After searching around for a while I and then thought outside the square and picked the right spot to locate the cache.TFTC RoddyC

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.
Day 15 of my self imposed find a cache a day Feb. So far so good. Had a tough day today so thought I would grab an easy one. Well seaky as but found it anyway. TFTC
Was expecting another bison in a tree, then I looked at my feet to see one of these things was not like the other.Tftc
17 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, Vortigern Street - BBBB today. This is my 2634 find.After scaling the embankment, this one made for a quickish find. After checking the usual spots, I changed my POV and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the extra effort put into this cache. FP worthy. 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 after a short search. Funnily enough, it took the second try with me examining the suspicious item that housed the cache before I saw it - nicely camouflaged. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. 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!
Arrived at GZ and checked out the most obvious object before checking out the next one which was the cache . TFTC
When a check of the most obvious feature was not successful, we looked at our other options and The Marble chose the correct one and uncovered the cache. Thanks RoddyC
This was a Joint *FTF* with the KKKK group after attending an Event nearby.Thanks for the event and the cache. RoddyC
Good eyes needed for this cache. and a tough climb up from the bikeway. 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
(Joint * FTF *) TFTC smile 17440 ?? 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 ????
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 ??
Joint **FTF** KKKK group.A wonderful morning spent companionably with other cachers after the event. After the kaffe mob we grouped closer to the start and set out on our trek along pathways and parks gathering caches along the way.We did a lot of walking between car pickups, walked through many patches of water but great day overall.Thanks 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 as KKKK group. TFTC RoddyC
Happy to be part of the KKKK joint *FTF* group which headed out after RoddyCs KKKK event. After the event we got tangled up with the MB&C crowd chasing a wayward dog. (It finally got away) after which we had a catch up session & a second breakfast.This lengthy detour delayed our start to the BBBB trail on todays agenda and so off we sauntered. Keen to not diminish my D/T average I am logging just a couple of the lesser combinations of the multitude of FTF opportunities on offer today.Thanks RoddyC for your continued dedication to this community.
*** 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
*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
FTF joint with the mob. This was the next. I happened to find this one in the group. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks RoddyC. All good with this cache. A favourite from me.
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. A bit tricky this one but with a hint from the CO who was standing nearby, the cleverly concealed cache was soon found. Signed 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* 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
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
