Berocca Pilly Corinda, Queensland, Australia

To help keep the final cache going for a while... The hint that was in this cache is... E 559

as it can't be adopted and the cache isn't there, archiving is the only option.

I have failed in my quest to adopt the Barocca series of caches. Groundspeak make it extremely difficult if the owner is unable to grant permission for the adoption. As I adopted a swag of other caches recently, I am not in a position to adopt this series now. Hopefully, somebody who lives close by who has also found this one, will be able to replace the container and add the vital clue to find the final. Anybody?

Couldn't find it. Possibly washed away with all rain had this year.

I also failed to find this one.

Note to all future hunters... The owner of this cache has sadly passed away and consequently, maintenance on this cache will not be undertaken. I am trying to obtain information on the entire Barocca series from previous finders and also through GC.com moderators. My intention is to maintain this series on behalf of Brummy but, I am having trouble getting the required info as groundspeak introduced new rules and regs that require users to verifiy their email address. Unfortunately, this was intorduced after Brummy passed away and the verification on his account was not done. As a consequence, the typical adoption process for a cache cannot be invoked.

If I managed to get hold of the information relating to this series, I will resurect this cache. If I fail in my quest, I will consider options to have the original cache listings archived and establish new pages for each of the caches. This will all take time though... If you have information (ie clues) you have gatherred from the Barocca series, please e-mail me through GC.com by clicking on my username attached to this log. All assistance will be greatly received.

Cheers

Three recent DNF's on this one . I did see a car accident on the bridge, and some locals catch two sharks, but no cache.

#3 NOT THERE?

Yay for Alice! We found the cache, but weren't able to find them all in the one day.. Maybe next time! TFTC wonderful idea!

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 10:18am. This cache is quite old and part of the Berocca series. I think I must have all the info now to find the final cache. It has taken about 2 years; not at all in one day. It was a short walk to the cache and even though the cache container lid is damaged, it seems to be still water-tight. TFTC

Jack's Mob. Found this one after a stop for lunch. Last one before heading home for a while then onto GOLD.

cool good hide easy found with alchemy2

Lovely place here to hang out for fishing but no time for that.
Found it with ALL7.
Last one... yay.. now heading for GOLD
Thanks

I've been slowly working my way though this series (not going for 'gold' alas) - now onto the 3rd one ... nice hide !

This was a fun find after walking over the four bridges. Well, I walked over one of them, but there are four there!

It was 8am but unfortunately I am not in Brisbane long enough to find Brummys other Beroccas as my flight leaves at 2pm

After conquering "the Mexican" yesterday but taking most of the day to find it I decided to have a go at this series. Left my daughters house at Mt Crosby around 0740 and arrived in the car park at kholo gardens around 0755.

Found this cache quite easilly at 0935 Good hide. Going to do these in order; Kholo,Tubes,The Ferryman,Bamboo Raft, Western,Pilly then hopefully I'll have the correct Co Ordinates for Gold. I know the little park in which this GZ was located. Found the cache at 1000. A family was having morning tea at the table further away but they could see me at GZ.

Now to input the acquired Co Ordinates and head for GOLD. TFTC

Nice lovely day of Rain to search for caches

Found at 1355 with the Staunch Gang. Last for the day. A quick find. TFTC.

Last find for tha day. Nice to view the Bridge from a different angle. TFTH.

Gave this one some tender loving care. Log book dried out. I've told Brummy I'll continue to look after this cache.

Apparently this is still doable so I'll put it back up.

If anyone would be willing to help service the cach I would be greatful.

Brummy

Downloaded the GPX file containing this one a couple of days ago so didn't realise it was offline until now. Was going to say it could do with a bit of TLC but it is still signable and legible. TFTH

Sorry,

Until I can get around to maintenance on these I'll pull them down.

Brummy

Quick find on the way past. My second excursion from the series intent, must get on and complete it!

TFTC

Nice quick find. This was on our route to somewhere else so we stopped and checked it out. We forgot to copy down the clue so we'll have to visit again. TFTC.

Quick drive by visit to keep things in checks

nice quick find! TFTC!

Found at 1.26pm. After the gps stopped jumping around it was quite an easy find. The lid on the container is really difficult to get on and off. Looks like it's been run over with something. Anyway thanks for bringing me to this part of the river. TFTC

Found with Smeeagain on one of our usual friday cache hunts easy find though the workmen didn`t like where we parked
TFTC TNLN SL

Found with Claeton, clever hide, guessed it was part of a series, but it was along our route, so we did it anyway, TFTC, Good Luck to all the "Berocca Series Hunters" to complete them in a day.

AN easy find while geoson played in the park.

TFTC

Second Berocca find for the day and fortunately this one was an easy find and the log book was in good condition. The hardest part of these caches is getting the lid back on TFTC.

Interesting location - an area we had not visited before. Thanks brummy

Nice little hide, good to see how Berocca Western was supposed to look! This is a great little park underneath the bridge here. TFTC

Found today with no problems, Thought i would jump on the deadly treadly and peddle my way there, only 1 person fishing nearby. Good spot for barby and kids and fishing. Really nice spot.

A big family out fishing nearby today but the cache area is well enough protected to make a find - especially with the reliable littlest freak.

No problems with muggles. But the herds of cyclists in the morning wilst going down the bike paths are different issue.

Found with Kholometres, this was the last of the series now we're off to find Gold, thanks Brummy

Found with Tratty. Nice easy find. TFTC

Found it. Didn't know it was part of series just had in GPS and was close by. The Maxmanus Clan

After doing all the CBD on foot it was back in the car to grab some more close by.

Nice easy find.

Looking for something nearby so took a peek at this one. I'll be back.

We'd looked for this one before, but always in the evening and always gave up due to muggle activity. Today we were alone!... finally found it and now know what to look for. Ingeniously hidden. Haven't noted the under cap number as we won't get them all attempted today, so will have to return when we try the all in one day epic. TFTC.

Found another Berocca today. One more and I can go for Gold.

My first experience Geocaching. Great fun! Thanks for placing it.

Find 5 for the day and No.4 of the berocca Challange. the challange sure get you around west Brisy and the Ipswich area. So far we have them all accept Kholo.

Found this pretty easily. Angle on the area I hadn't seen before.

Thanks for the cache!

Tjhowse, Cdboundy, Jafriend and Bdrew.

Almost there, two to go, has been a busy morning, another nice location close to water again, is that a theme?
cheers.

First cache for the day. Started series at 9:36 AM.

Found today with the Nanks on a holiday outing with the kids.

Found at 11:02 am in the company of the HappyHarries. The GPS was playing games near all of those tall structures but Mrs Hap found it anyway.

Nice quick find. even though there where other users around.

Deafbutterfly found the cache before me... Wow she is improving alot... SL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

Found it by myself. SL. Many thanks for the Cache and hunt, I enjoyed my day.

Found at 10:00 am to start our Berocca day.

Found it at 1125. TNLNSL. TFTC.

I do apologise for the lengthy delay in reactivating this series. The clues have been changed around a little so as per the original rules all caches must be completed on the same day and in as short a space of time as possible.
Best of luck and remember speeding on the roads is not the objective, just plan your trip well and no stopping to smell the roses.
Brummy

I'll just disable the series until I'm able to repair Bamboo Raft and check on Kholo.

After waiting for the suspicious couple to go down to the pontoon after the other couple left the pontoon, we managed to grab the cache after an easy find at 2.09pm

This was relatively straight forward.

Walking in , grabbed it and walked out. 2 minutes flat. Not that we were watching the time.

This was our number five cache on our list. Going strong, seemed to be though everytime we went to make a turn there'd be a "no turn left" or "no turn right" sign hahaha but we got to do quite a bit of cruisin the burbs which was good too.
We were just starting to realise just how important it was to plan out this multi-cache series. Very good tip.

19:24 This one took a minute or two to find the co-ordinates appeared to be out by about 9 metres on two GPS's but after reading the hints it became blatently obvious where the cache lay.

Number 6, found at 12.11pm Weekday meant not too many muggles about so was able to find log and rehide very quickly. Now it's on to gold...

Another cache location that we have spent some time recently scratching around. Some muggle problems but with a quick grab the log was signed at 12:58 and then we were going for gold.

FOUND BY BONZERBEN WITH HOTANDSWEATY

Easy find as part of the Berocca series.

One muggle fishing and a whole party of muggles having breakfast - hmm, what do I do here. Sits down on grass and fiddles with camera - grab cache - easy.
No.5 8:02am

7.40am #2
Nice easy find. Thought I take some time and located the HawMorFords cache hidden in this area. Unfortunately a DNF on Eclipse...and more time that I'd counted on

Back to the traffic!

Second in the series for me this morning. So far so good, the bike is running well.

Found it @ 08:00 - As i sat in the car planning which one to tackle next, I realised i hadn't taken the clue with me - Just then Critter pulled up - She too had returned to gather the same info.

We chatted briefly and then parted ways.

[Edit] - Critter was FTF @ 07:30.
[Edit] - Wrong date !!!

My first of the serries! Found this one originally at 730am but forgot to get the coordinate piece needed, after doing another cache went back and there was mr Hawmorford. Got the piece and off to the next one

There were a couple of people in the nearby playground. The first person left quickly, but the second group wasn't leaving. I had to pretend to be a photographer to get close to and find the cache without arousing suspicion.
