Currently chasing multi's for a challenge. Arrived at starting point a few days ago on the way home from the city to grab the info required. Took this home to complete our calculations.This morning after the gym was our time to attack.Quickly spotted and carefully retrieved. Log signed, cache replaced.TFTH
11-Nov-24
In the city for a meeting but we got in pretty early. Having finished off a few stray caches in the city, we decided to take advantage of the 50cent fares and take a ride on an air-conditioned train. Spotted this one on the way and thought, why not. Jump off and make our way to GZ. What a cool cache. Will definitely be giving a favourite point.Make our way back to the station with 4 minutes to spare.TFTC
In the city for a meeting, but we're that early there's time to cache.I wonder if we would have found it without the hint.Made our mark (TB)TFTC
Heading into the city for a meeting, but we're so far ahead of schedule there's time to cache.Made our way from Roma Street and up through the parklands to where we needed to be for our info. Calculations done and a new set of co-ords entered. Hint helped make sense of it all and the cache was soon located.Signed as TB (Team B) to save room.TFTC
10-Nov-24
Nice and quiet today, so we were able to set the TOTT up. Barb went up, but could only just touch the cache. My turn to put my old skills into practice.Log retrieved, signed and replaced.TFTC
Back again. NOPE! Too high and I'm way too old.Maybe if I can find a monkey to bring along.
So after our last unsuccessful attempt we are back today, better prepared with an extra TOTT.Just reaching at half extension the cache was retrieved.Log signed, cache replaced.TFTH
With half of the cache missing last visit, we were back today to clear this off the map.Miraculously our names are in the log TFTC
Couldn't get close to GZ last visit due to the PGA being played. Back today, for a nice quick "Drive By" Log signed.TFTC
07-Nov-24
After an unsuccessful attempt on this one in 2012 we were back in the area finishing off an ALab. Heading out we saw this was close by. Nice quick find today.TFTC
Needing some multi's for a challenge, it was a quick detour to this one before heading towards Samford.Nice simple multi.Log signed. TFTC
After completing the nearby AL we were driving past this on the way home.I must have had cache blindness, but after a short search, Barb came up with the prize.Signed as Team B.TFTC
06-Nov-24
Out chasing a close by multi and this was too close to pass up.Parked close by. At GZ, quickly spotted.TFTC
After finding 52 it was on to this one. Walked around in circles for a bit before spotting where we needed to be.Log signed. TFTC
Out and about chasing some random multi caches for a challenge.Parked close to the final and set off. Soon spotted where I needed to be. I'm getting too old for these Another one off the map.TFTC
05-Nov-24
Could the CO please check on this one. 12 Months since last find, with experienced cachers before us logging a DNF
04-Nov-24
Out chasing multi caches for a challenge.Relevant info obtained and transferred into new co-ords.Closing in on GZ. I looked a the hide (an obvious spot) on the way past and completely missed the cache. On the back track it was soon spotted. Don't know how I missed it.Log signed in a small spot as FE59. og book is as good as full.TFTH
Had the final co-ords for a while now, but never got to this area until today. Chasing a multi cache close by, it would have been just wrong not to add this one to our list. So glad we did.Arrive at GZ and think that was simple enough. How wrong we were. Two of us searching made it easier and we soon had what we needed.Log signed. Fantastic cache.Scores a favourite from me. TFTH
With the co-ords obtained from last visit, it was time to search for this one. With the offset applied we were off. Started high with no luck and headed down to the platform. No luck there either.
03-Nov-24
Out with barbowman working on another challenge. needing to find multi caches, we initially targeted one back up the road but with the PGA on decided to go for this one instead.Somes done and new co-ords entered.A short time later and we were at GZ for a quick retrieval.Log signed and cache replaced.TFTH
31-Oct-24
After receiving a PM about the bottom of the cache missing, I went to investigate.Found that half on the ground. Added a new log and replaced as it should be.Happy hunting.
Still chasing caches with certain attributes on specific dates, this was today's target. Parked close by and set off down the path. Getting close and surveyed the best direction. After getting past the long grass we were soon at GZ for a quick find. Log signed and all replaced. TFTC
25-Oct-24
Cache blindness at first then got at the right spot to spy the cache. TFTH
Was here a few days ago but left our TOTT in the car. Back today for a quick retrieval. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTH
So after finding this container on Monster Lane earlier in the month and tracking down where it belonged we then decided to check if we qualify. Nope! So I got busy over the last couple of weeks targeting the specific caches I needed.Yesterday I got my last one but had to wait for the checker to register the find.[FastEd 59](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=FastEd%2059) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCABYXK/79720 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.Challenge matrix (30 of 70 yes-attributes) has 30 of requested 30 rows - checked at 2024-10-25 2:37:10**FastEd 59** fulfills this challenge since **2024-10-24** by found of GCAHVTQ "Cattle Run"The last relevant found to add a cell in this matrix is GCAHVTQ "Cattle Run" at 2024-10-24Really enjoyed the challenge.TFTH
After reading the previous logs there was a possibility this may have been missing. I contacted the CO and checked if he would be happy for me to take a replacement.Parked close by and set off. Kept putting the GPS away while we were walking just in case, pulling it out to check every few minutes.Our last check and we were at 3 metres and low and behold the cache was there in plain sight. Not sure where the previous finders were looking but the co-ords are spot on and cache in place.Added our names.TFTH
24-Oct-24
Out this way chasing a particular attribute to finish a challenge.Enjoyable walk down the pathway. Arrive at GZ for a quick find.Having seen the previous entry about the log being wet, and as I have a lot of time for this CO, we took another log to replace. Now write in the rain log.TFTC
Having found the other one back up the path, it would be wrong not to continue down for this one.Arrive at GZ to find a familiar looking camo.Log signed and all replaced.TFTC
23-Oct-24
**FTF** at 1605 with barbbowmanNotification comes through and only 400 metres as the crow flies. Will we or won't we.Bugger it. Shorts on, thongs on grab keys and no shirt. Five minutes later pull up for a quick find.Log signed.TFTC

Needing a cache with a particular attribute for a challenge this was today's target.Arrived at GZ and set about searching. Hmm, I wonder. Yep, now to retrieve.Looks like it was pushed down a bit far for a simple removal. Luckily I had some items in the car to fashion a hook.Cache retrieved, log signed.TFTH

Calculations done a few days ago so we had an idea where this was. Spotted as we pulled up. TFTC
