Up the Creek 1.1 Belmont, Queensland, Australia
By Meeka on 04-Oct-05. Waypoint GCQTY1

I'm going to claim the last find on this one. The remnants of the cache are now truely deposited in the nearby bin. The Cane Toad keeping an eye on the cache bits didn't like moving on but who cares about him.
Thanks for the series of caches.
I didn't have an up to date list of caches before looking for this one but then at least I can say I CITO!
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

This Cache is GONE, looks like the Council slasher went through the area

We scouted around the area and couldnt find the cache. We thought it had gone . We have enjoyed the series very much and were disappointed not to have been able to finish off with this one. Thanks again for the series.

Well I found the pieces of the cache container and some obvious remaining cache contents about 15m from what my GPS had suggestted as GZ. Having located the others in the series later in the morning I'd say this one is more than likely gone.

Hey there. This was my first cache find, which was pretty exciting. I haven't been able to find my GPS at home after weeks of looking, so I thought in the meantime I would try and find this one near where I live by looking at the Google map and having a bit of a stab.

Well I found it, but unfortunately it was made somewhat more obvious by the remains of the container strewn around the tree. Was sorry to see that occur...wrote as best I could in the log which is now a bit damp. No swap...just getting the hang of caching first!

Cheers.

Found the cache at 4pm. We enjoyed walk along to the cache. No swap. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

Good one to do on my way home from work. Logged visit,no swaps.

Found myself on the wrong side of the creek. Fortunately I was on a bike and it is a short ride across the bridge. After rehiding the cache, I meet THENANKS trying to find it. Enjoyed watching them walk over it a couple of times. Tried to beat them to 1.2.
Good hide. TNLN.

This was a fun adventure. We started on the wrong side of the creek and while gazing longingly across to the other side we spotted a suspicious looking character searching around trees holding something in his hand, a GPS maybe? So "Let's go!". Back into the car and drive around to where the other side might be, and he's still there. So we had to ask "Are you up the creek?" and yes he was. Hi Adam! (aleggo) He then had a good laugh watching all 4 NANKS walking in circles trying to find a cache that he took 2 seconds to spot! We found it (finally) did our swaps and signed the log. TFTC. Off to No. 2

This was one of the easiest ones we have found. In straight to it and found it!! We took the awesome screwdriver and smiley face elf and left a recorder and a jotter and pen. Thanks heaps - onto the next one now.

Nice spot & an easy find. Must return with the Geokids & Geomutt..SL Thanks Meeka
Out: Doll
In: Gambling Chip Key Ring

Finally completed the series - only took two months. Well, a lot has happened and there was no particular hurry. I think number 2 was my favourite. This one only took a couple of minutes to find. The area is so nice though, I spent almost half an hour enjoying it. Thank you Meeka for sending me to three new, and for me, out of the way places.

Took the gambling chip keyring
Left a christmas elf

Easy find - GPS was spot on. Great little park. Cache in good condition. Left Doll and Car and took Notepad. SL. TFTC.

After being on the wrong side of the creek we adventually made the find. Left tennis ball & bounce ball took mini cards & stickers. TFTC.

Found this one after a good 10 minute hunt, then had to wait for two mini muggles to go past in a little tinny. we were then able to retrieve.
Took small lapel pin and magnetic frame
Left small notepad, stickers and toy car, Calling Card & S/L
What a great place to sit and while away the hours we managed to spot a water dragon enjoying the sun and a turtle.
Great Cache location - Thanks Meeka

After first going to the wrong side of the creek, we found this one at about 1pm on Anzac day. Saw a water dragon and a few muggles and once again, dad claimed the find. The kids definitely need to try harder.

Anzac day 3:30pm
There was A group of muggles having a picnic and playing cricket nearby but I managed to stealth my way into the cache location.

Thanks

Found it and saw a total of 6 water dragons. took the dinosaur and travel bug and left mini screwdriver and mini card deck.

Again in company with KABBURTS. Even though the travel bug was not logged in to this cache, it is now with us waiting its next great adventure.

Spent 45 minutes searching all to no avail. Got bitten by a pile of mozzies, the tree cover didn't help the GPS signal and the area in general is fairly wet.

found this one all in good cond took me ages to find it thoughThe Mackies

The heavy rain in the last few days made the area quite mushy. As such the area flooded to over a metre above the cache location. Or i'm blind. Either way I couldn't find it.

I finally found the time to call by and repair this Cache after recieving numerous reports of how wet it was.
The Log book has been replaced and re bagged and the contents of the Cache have been bagged as well.
Please ensure you seal the container properly.

Very nice park which needs council to do some maintenance on a dripping tap. Recently had a lot of water through here with mud deposited on the seats of the pergola. We found the cache within a meter of the coordinates, sadly the logbook is in a poor state and really needs replacing. The cache container had the lid slightly ajar when we discovered it. Exchanged key rings.

Lovely part of the world. Thankfully I ended up on the right side of the creek (thanks for the tip Meeka).

Well hidden but extremely wet ie the log book is soaked and IMHO will need to be replaced.

I left a small note book in a plastic bag as a temporary log book.

Took Drinker Delight TB for a little ride

Thanks Meeka

It is interesting to note that my daughter's biology text book has chapters 1.1 - 1.5 Up the Creek (is that where you got the idea from?)

Came in from the wrong side of the creek, but once we remedied that, the cache was found quickly. No swaps today, but we did leave Drinkers Delight to continue its journey.

was out riding my bike saw this on my Gps thought i would find it so i went and found it.
very good spot to hide it, like the name up the creek 1.1

Found this one after starting out on the wrong side. Nice quiet park for a picnic some time but way too hot today. The Cache desperately needs a ziplock bag for the log book. Managed to find a dry corner of one page to drop a note. Left a quarter, dime, nickle and a penny. Took Long Diagonal TB.

Out for my morning walk and decided to check on this cache only to find it very wet but otherwise in good condition. Also dropped the Long Diagonal TB.
All good

Meeka

Found after going to the other side 3 times !!!!
Great fun we had anyway riding around the paths - very nice - reminds me of the paths around the lakes in Canberra. Found cache, eventually. TNLNSL.

Then, it was a Cooeee out of there on our MTB's.

Found by caughtatwork at 1:15
Ahhh, like many before (I'm sure) we started on the wrong bank. While Uncle Gary and Lindy Lou moved the car around, I took the walk over the foot bridge not that far away so I could see if I could spot some of the local wildlife. I'm glad I did as there were many water dragon out today and they all scuttled away as I approached.
The others and I got the GZ about the same time with my GSPr pointing 15m away, but Lindy Lou saying hers was pointing right there. As I turned around I spotted where she meant. Well done.
Took candle, left bag of sinkers.
Thanks Meeca. We set off to the remaining 2 of this series, as we enjoyed this one so much.

This was a really nice spot all three were really nice and peaceful, sat at this one for a while just watching the ducks and lizards. thank you took the finger puppet and left the teletubbie

With all the rain overnight I thought it would be good to go up the creek today. Lots of water everywhere. Found a purple lunchbox and what looked like the remains of a cache, but decided that wasn't the cache. Took another 10mins of scratching around to find the real thing though. Nice spot. Left a smiley fridge magnet.

Nice easy find and a very pretty part of Bulimba Creek.

Fourth for the day @ 11:50

Out: Donor heart.
In: Candle

Third of four finds in company with The Garner Family and Lt. Sniper. This was definitely the easier of tonight's two 'creek' caches. We parked close, walked in, and LS found it at 1930. We were on a roll, but the thunder and lightning that had been present for some time was about to fulfil its promise. Thanks to Meeka for the cache.

IN: Mini picture frame
OUT: Toy car

Once again I found this one while caching with Dak's Emu Mob and The Garner Family in tow. I didn’t even have a torch and we were caching in the dark! I also spotted a Tawney Frogmouth Owl sitting on a tree branch. TNLNSL

Thanks Meeka,

Lt. Sniper

Well this looked like a beautiful spot... the wildlife was out even at 7:30pm at night. We spotted a large bearded dragon and a tawny frogmouth.

The cache revealed itself amongst the spiders after several minutes of searching. TNLN as it was about to start raining.

Found this one after wandering in circles trying to lock onto a signal. The location was nice and the wildlife was all out on display.
Took: Snake.
Left: Organ Donor heart

Had to avoid the Chinaman doing Tai Chi and the neighbour walking the dogs (May have followed me when I parked the car). Found easily once the GPS settled down. Took the TB and left a couple of cars and a finger puppet. Thanks Meeka

Found it!...wooohooo...Made my tenth find a "First to find" .
Fairly easy find, after taking an early mark at work...Thought i was "IN" the creek at first, but GPS picked up a few more satellites and found GZ soon after......

TNLNSL..

When this Cache was placed I thought it would be a good place for Rubber Stamp to begin his trip further North to Malayasia.
