Cache removed by the Brisbane City Council

From reports it would seem that the council has removed this cache.
I have my email address on the stash note...I have heard nothing officially.
Will check it out

This cache has been removed by Brisbane City Council

Impressive Craftsmanship.

Found with Gunnie69.

As there were clouds about the GPS was very jumpy when we got within a 20 metre radius... But we eventually got there...

Another awesomely creative cache by Wingaap...

TFTC

Silver Sovereign and I did the circular loop around this little patch of bush and took the opportunity to grab the other nearby caches while enjoying the walk.

Not quite knowing what to expect at GZ, we were pleaseantly surprised at the container when we spotted it... Nice job...

Always a pleasure....

Cheers

Cool rock, nice cache

TNLNSL

As usual we didn't take the easiest route in. We did find an easier one out though. Loved the disguise for this one. So did my parents. Cache is in good condition. TNLNSL. Thanks for another quality cache Wingaap.

Our first find. Kids loved it. Great hide

Found the rock easily as suggested. An awesome rock Wingaap. Took frequent flier TB, left ball. TFTC.

I began my Geo-Caching journey with this cache and have decided to start my first Travel Bug in this cache.

Thankyou indeed for this cache.

Cheers.

If anyone finds a set of reading glasses in the vicinity of this cache could they please contact me.

A clever hid that isn’t too hard to find. As it appears to be set up for beginners,so I left a TB for the next seekers to find.

Awesome! Lovely walk along the bush from 'Orion'.

Love the Rock! Very impressive work. Cache is great and in place. Another nice peice of bush with easy access. SL TFTC.

sorry forgot to log the GC drop off.

This was my first geocache i thorght it was a great hide ( found this when i did not know what geocaching was, but now i love the sport!) TFTC

Nicely crafted cache, although it was quite obvious as we approached. TFTC

Jennifer and Grant from New Zealand

Today we had a nice hike in an urban bush area.
TFTC.

Did the circuit to pick up all three caches in the reserve today. Think I'll come back again to explore the area a bit more.
TFTC

I found another fake rock with artifacts close by, but not chained to a tree. If you lost the original rock, perhaps it is the one I found?

we found it thanks

Found the cache at 9.37am. Accompanied with patox and avyz, we enjoyed walk the bushland. Excellent camo. SL. Thanks wangaap for organising the cache and hunt.

Found the rock after walking down the slope with Everlasting and patox

JoPossum headed straight for this one while MoPossum was chasing the GPS. Very cool cache in need of some TLC. Thanks Wingy.

Thanks to the efforts of Mojopossum the cache is all set to go.

Many thanks to Mojopossum for drying out the cache and delivering the new log book and kit for the cache.

Much appreciated Mo

Found it!
Nice walk - Found two other rocks almost pointing to the real rock
Cache is SATURATED - was not able to dry it out - recommend temporary removal to dry out properly
Nice rock spider too lol
Took Nudibranch geocoin to a dryer location

Disabled until I can get over to carry out a maintenance visit.

Going back into caches I have found in the past and "visiting" a personal TB to give a total km travelled in our time caching.

Taxisvw took me to my first site. Awesome job, what a way to start a whole new way of life.
Cheers heaps.

TNLN, TFTC

This cache is very wet and both silica gel sachets are full.
I did not have any spare sachets with me.
TFTC.

Took freezy123 for his first cache hunt today.
Took nothing.
Left a soldier and a Nudibranch Geocoin.
This cache was very wet!
TFTC.

Yep, nice spot, and nice container. No probs this time. Found with my mate ADV.

Nice hide, have been fooled by these before but not this time.
TFTC

Was that home made. I want the recipe please. TFTC

Found this one and and hasn't rained yet. The clue helped us find it quickly although one of the gang was surprised that it was anchoured.

Nice hide Wingy

Found it with the Stuanch Gang at 1055. A great hide very natural looking. On th way to find it we came across a lot of women walking dogs.

An impressive cache found by Miss Gorgeous

A nice cool walk in the on/off rain today - took TB and left a few swaps. TFTC.

found by helyl & rachy
nicely camo

Wasn't 100% sure [or unsure] about the rock, right up until 'that' moment. Nicely done. The cache and contents are solid. In: 'Berlin' TB. SL. TFTC and exercise in one of my favourite environments.

QLD#57 - Brisday#28
Great rock!, it rocks!
Would love to know how to make something like this, very well built "around" the container. Nice easy find too for a cacher, but not obvious at all to anyone else! Can only assume that the old rock may be a part of someone's wall or something, as it looks brilliant for that kind of thing. Though they probably would have noticed.

TFTC!

The second cache in this parkland, on the MTB. Loved the cache, but doubt if all the precautions are necessary considering the size of the spider guarding it And...whoever left that disgusting toy spider in the cache, almost caused my death

In the end it proved much more difficult to find the geocycle than the cache At a stage I was convinced that I managed to loose a bicycle [B)]

Thanks for a memorable caching experience

Nice quick grab. I always enjoy a Wingaap container.

Took Florida geocoin. TFTC

An enjoyable walk then a quick find at 1635hrs. Now where did I leave the car?

TNSL Left - geocoin

TFTC

Found on our 24 hour Caching run around Brisbane and the outer suburbs.
Visiting from South Aust for the weekend.

Gosh the geocoin that has been deposited after the madmen did their geocaching run looks so intereting. Number 23 Wingers cache found for the night. Do you know how many The Rock caches there are in the world???? Pages and pages when I searched for the cache by name!!! Had to be a bit ingenious and hunt under Wingers instead. Then of course it is on the last page of his caches - page 7 - how impressive is that!!! Well done to the Wonder boy Wingers.

Found during our big 24 hr cache assault in Brisbane

Thanks for the cache

Cache 13 of 40 on a big day of caching with Kholometers. Another very clever hide! TNLN, TFTC.

Cache 13 of 40 on a big day of caching with Strong Arm. Very clever. TNLN TFTC

If provided me with some history for this cache which I found ammusing. The effort to hide the cache was greatly appreciated and was a welcome highlight on such a wet day. I would have liked to have spent more time exploring this bush setting, perhaps next time.

Thanks Wingaap,

R - B

Another great hide, TFTC

Well I happen to like Rock 'n Roll so this cache presented itself very well indeed. Great camo effort. TFTC TNLN

I wonder if the "construction" will draw unwanted attention to The Rock? TFTC

Neat rock, and an interesting bit of "construction" around it!

TNLN TFTC

The Rock rules. OK dude.

Found it quite easily. Very nice Rock you guys. You Rock!!! Didn’t take or leave anything. There wasn't a pen available, will bring one with next time to log the cache!! Thanks guys

Nice one! Great camo, really well done. This is a really nice reserve too. TFTC

Quick find at GZ. Great cache. TNLN. TFTC.

One of a few finds today on my day out caching around Brisbane. Managed to park within 200m of the cache.

TNLN

Here with Moneydork

cool hide, well done.

thanks bitsprayer

We walked around this park and did 4 caches, as it threatened to start raining. The wild turkeys were cool - but too fast for my camera. TFTC.

Wow this camo just keeps getting better! I can’t believe the craftsmanship! Nice area, next time I’ll bring my dog... Oh, I forgot, you can’t take dogs on business trips. TNLN, thanks again wingaap.

A great rock and if it tries to escape I'm sure it will take the tree with it, given the size of the chain. Thanks

I loved the rock - tried to feed it a niece and a nephew, but it wasn't hungry... TFTC! ='.'=

Found with La Kedi and DragonSky. TFTC

First one for me in this park - spotted without difficulty.
TFTC

This is a very nice rock! And its clearly not going anywhere.

TFTC.

Decided to tidy up some loose ends in this nice piece of bush. Jumped on the pushie and headed off. This one presented no problems. Love the security. TN/LN/SL.

Another great wingaap hide. Left balloon, libra starsign charm and platic warrior. Took boomarang keyring, mobile phone keyring and 2 cent coin. SL TFTC

Found after big brissy brekky. Thanks - nice little hide. Great cammo - huge efforts.

*Overall Experience: 3* < this is a GCA thing.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Pre-dawn raid on Banks Street Reserve (cooler weather)!!

What I have come to expect from Wingaap!!

Nice hide! TNLNSL TFTC

A nice hide. A few muggles around (it was Sunday afternoon) - cue talking on the GPS as if it was a mobile...

TNLN TFTC

An easy find spotted long before reaching GZ. TFTC.

After a DNF at the previous cache, I continued my walk to this one. Once the GPS settled down and pointed me in the right direction, it was an easy find. What a fantastic rock - it looks so real. Well done, and thanks for the cache.

That rock stood out a mile. Easy to find though.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Very impressive. Nice easy find at 2.50pm. Out snail In spider. Thanks for the cache and all your hard work in making it. John & Terry

Dropped in at 8.45 am to pick up the #3 Proximity Tag TB. (It was a tight fit!) Somebody worked hard on the hiding place - very impressive! Left rolling snail and took matchbox cars.

Late Afternoon

Just popped back to this one to drop of the #3 Proximity Tag after having a ride in the Reserve - no flat tyres this time!

Muddleypop.

i like these,sure the chain is big enough?

Found after a brief search, letting the GPS settle. Found at 4:50pm. Good to see the police on trail bike through this area. Great cache, really good fun. Thanks wingaap. TNLN.

[Very inventive about the rock, well done. The interested couple are still with us, they seem to be enjoying this well. T Pen L Aussie Wristband and a Mobile Phone Keyring. Agian good hide well done.]

Found in the company of Andrew. TNLNSL.

Found this morning with Cebidae and son. What a great cache!!! Thanks

Replaced log book and restocked cache.
Added silica gel packs and fitted a new lid to the cache container.

All set ready to be found.

This was probably the most energetic cache find we did in our three days in Brisbane. A walk of a couple of hundred metres was not something that we had to undertake before!

Found the cache as described - however this one needs some attention as the contents were quite damp and the log book too wet to sign. We included some dry pages but the whole lot is likely to turn into something very nasty if it is not dried out soon.

TNLN TFTC SL.

Disabled until I can get over and carry out a maintenance visit.

This cache was find number 33 of 102 finds I did with Dtay for our record attempt on Saturday 18 November 2006.
We were here at 07:39 hours.

Found the rock which is not likely to roll away!
Cache is quite damp inside.

TFTC

This cache was find number 33 of 102 finds today with Rogainer as part our record attempt.

Found at 07:09 hours.

Cache is damp after the rain, found quite quickly when I stood up and had a look a-round.

Took a look, found a rock. Had a look, found the cache. A nice straight forward cache for us to enjoy. TNLN SL

The ROCK. [8)] What can you say? It’s a rock. But a very clever rock.
Some one goes to a lot of trouble. Thanks Wingaap

The Rock!!
I have been meaning to find this one for a long time.
(at least 6 months). I mean, can you really make a homemade rock?
What I thought would be a quick find, turned into a rather dizzy bushwalk. Found it in it's hiding spot. TNLNSL
A great cache, thanks again wingaap

Dropped in to check on the cache. All as originally placed.

Dropped off a couple of geocoins and a Jeep

GPS had me circle this one a couple of times before finding it. Nice one. TNLN. (there was no writing implement)

Third for the day. Decided to give it a go, even though we have had another DNF on Off Track just minutes before. In the end, it was a good cache to grab, nice and easy, and the clue leads you right to it. Found at 5.40pm. Thanks Wingaap for another excellent cache.
Cheers

1230, Easy find, work mate spotted this one. TNLN

Another classic wingaap hide. Paused to celebrate Featherwaite's 500th cache find. Thanks wingaap for the series. Cheers!
