, not being from around here! But relatively easy find. TftcFound this one during a little walk through the botanic garden.Thanks for hiding!m-u-t
Nice quick find while out walking nearby doing an AL. Had to wait a bit for passing muggles.TFT 
Picked the wrong path to start with but after a lap of the park and some other ALs and caches we had this one in hand. TFTC
Wandering around this end of town with the usual suspects and joined by kolour and AlisNan as well to keep us in line.Although a born and raised local, I haven't been through here so was keen to explore. We had limited time here today but managed to do the Earthcache, an Adventure Lab and this one. All good here.Discovered today that I have two cashed up go-cards in my wallet so looking forward to plenty more exploration in town and surrounds while the 50 cent fares last. TFTC
Found after a quick search. A cane toad looked like it had become trapped in the roots next to the cache hide. All the better for added fertiliser for the majestic host.
No spiders. Nice gnarly roots. Visiting from USA on way through. Left a young girls travel bug. Tftc
#5647Mathsnuts are over from the UK, visiting the inlaws. This afternoon, we have taken the ferry upriver, to then cross the bridge and walk through the old botanical gardens. As this is quite an old cache, I was keen to find it, but we almost weren't sure if we would be able to reach it from inside the garadens as there were barriers all over the place ready for LightScape. Luckily, we found a way through in the end, although it involved some doubling back on ourselves. The cache was a quick spot at GZ and I added a little logbook advertising next year's block party event. TFTC 
I am down under for the very first time. ???? Visiting Australia has always been a dream of mine, and I cannot believe it has come true. Australia's nature and wildlife really captivated me. Over three weeks, I saw many wonderful beaches, sunsets, animals such as ????????, and I found great geocaches. My tour guide was mostly geocaching, and through it, I discovered many beautiful places I wouldnt have seen without our great hobby. I mainly stayed in Brisbane but also visited other gorgeous places such as Noosa Heads and Springbrook. I spent a few days on the Gold Coast and Moreton Island, and I went to New South Wales to have visited a second state in Australia. During my stay, the winter and early spring in Queensland were very warm, the sun shone every single day, and I did not see a single drop of rain. My time down under was so beautiful and unforgettable. Australia is such a stunning country!????? Yesterday, I arrived in Brisbane and today I explored the city for the very first time. I really like this city and I discovered beautiful places. I also looked for many geocaches like this one. At GZ I found the cache easily. After signing the log I put the container back as found. Thank you for this geocache says Mr. J. Cacher from the other side of the world ????
Greetings from Wales.The final leg of our Australian trip has brought us to Brisbane for a couple of days so today we took a lovely walk from our hotel across the river to South Bank, around to and across the Storey Bridge and back via the Botanical Gardens. A great introduction to the city.It was busy along this path but thankfully I was able to sit on the impressive roots and grab the cache pretending I was watching the river. Log signed and liberated a travel bug to bring home to Wales, Thanks for the smiley.
I found it.TFTC!!I came from Japan to study on the Australia for three weeks.It was last day and free day in Brisbane.I was so happy to found old cache!Thank you for the cache and nice place!
Brisbane Day 2: On The Other Side of the RiverTodays schedule was jammed packed with things to do, and of particular interest were the caches in South Brisbane, and U of QLD at Saint Lucia (which I learnt was pronounced as Lu-chee-ia and not Lu-see-ia) on the ferry. It was also river cruise day, making maximum use of the 50 cent fare trial period, and hopping on and off at all the various stops on the Central Brisbane area. Ended off the day at Kangaroo Point, and crossed the Story Bridge back into the CBF to end the day. Walked 37.5k steps today over 26.5 km, making for a very crazy day of geocaching. Thanks for all the caches across Brisbane - they all made my day in some way or another. This is the specific log for this cache: Back into the city for me for the next leg of the journey, where I hop on and off the ferry today to finish off yet some more caches. This one was pretty easily dispatched while hunting for lunch nearby - ended up settling on Subway since there were not too many options. Ah well at least this large-ish cache made up for it. TFTC!
The compass on my app has been worse than useless since the last update, however with the use of google maps and a helpful hint I was able to find it fairly easily. I couldnt see any information relating to the finding of other caches in this series but as Im not a local thats probably not really going to other me as I likely wont have time to search for the whole lot.Very cool tree here. TFTC

Aux derniers jours de ballade Brisbane avant de rentrer la maison.J'ai oubli mon stylo :/Thanks for the cacheAfternoon walk in the city to make some progress on all the labs and to find some traditional geocaches on the way.Quick find on this one, tftc !Greetings from France
Bisoutje and I are on a roadtrip between Cairns and Adelaide and have now touched ground at Brisbane.We spent our first day here just walking around, enjoying our exploration of the city. We encountered many places amd enjoyed the local cuisine. We were also lucky enough to be able to find a few Geocaches as well.We enjoyed walking around the botanical gardens and managed to find this oldie as well.TFTC!
Well I had a pen, but it broke. So I cant sign the log but I have found the cache. Im a Brit in Aus. Rummaging around for a cache in a country where insects have only one task in mind ( to kill all humans) is a bit nervy, but I did it!There was nothing to be afraid. No insects (deadly or otherwise) in sight so a nice easy cache in the end.Photo as proof of find. Hope its acceptable.TFTC
We walked along the river today and could easily find the cache. Thanks for the cache.Kind regards.schuhlstroo

Auf unserem Streifzug durch Brisbane waren Docla und ich auch auf dem Bunya Walk unterwegs. Wir haben den Spaziergang durch die vielfltige Pflanzenwelt sehr genossen und konnten nun eben bei noch diesen 20 Jahre alten Cache finden. Vielen Dank fr die Erhaltung dieser alten Dose und Gre aus Deutschland. On our foray through Brisbane, Docla and I also went on the Bunya Walk. We really enjoyed the walk through the diverse flora and were able to find this 20-year-old cache. Thank you for preserving this old tin and greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the cache! I left a drawing in there to add to the interesting things
Wonderful spot!! Had to avoid some waller-muggles, but aside from that, all good. Cache is in good condition. TFTC!!
TFTC from the Kayakviking! Love picking up an oldie and a missing date for me.We had a lovely walk around the gardens after lunch. Cheers KV
Easy find, not too busy. Not sure what's meant by finding the coordinates so will have to scratch my head!
Avoided my way through spider webs and looked at the tree from all angles until a saw a likely place , where the cache did show itself TFTC
Tftc, found it on a leisurely stroll thru the beautiful park and impressive rain forest!
Spontan gesucht und gefunden. Ein sehr schner Park mit tollen Bumen. Traurig aber wahr, wir hatten keinen Stift dabei. Daher ausnahmsweise mal ein Fotolog. Danke fr den Cache Spontaneously searched and found. A very beautiful park with great trees. Sad but true, we didn't have a pen with us. So, for once, a photolog. Thanks for the cache

Heute beim Besuch von Brisbane konnten wir diesen Cache finden. Zum Glck gab und ein Logfoto einen Hinweis, da die Koordinaten aufgrund der Bume etwas verrckt spielten..Thanks for the Cache!
Day 30 of our roadtrip in Australia. Staying in Maleny with friends and today's plan was visiting Brisbane using the train (driving a car there is probably a bad idea). The weather was nice and sunny, perfect to explore the city center a bit. Found this one after a short break in the garden Caf. Impressive tree! Thanks and kind regards from Switzerland, Hinni&Simo
Found with Tevla Gaming and our new student Ayumu. Is there meant to be a lie in here?
Walking Brisbane the second day we managed to pick up some traditional caches. TftCs! Frtau
