22nd Found it Trunksnsuch 660 Wow, what a booty, haven't seen one that big since South East TB Lounge in Victoria. Said hello to a couple of TB's that I dropped off around Narooma in NSW. Said hello to a TB that is in a game (er, um, mine) at cachinggames.com and not only said hello to the Redfish TB that I dropped off near Narooma but picked him/her up again for more fun and caching. Did emergency type drops because my computer had a massive heart attack and died. Also took Slovakia coin, if it's been to NSW & VIC I'll drop it off again within the next week. Dropped RIP coin from Sunshine Coast where I took pity on it as it had been in the same cache for 3 months. TFTC The Green Geckos

22nd Found it If It's not the most unvisited monument in Brisbane anymore Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin
I rode in to find Bruce from the north after visiting Petrie and Bald Hills this morning. The monument was spotted and the plaque read. Interesting bit of trivia. That Russ bloke also got around too Smile
The cache was found easily. Nicely hidden out of sight. Today the flowering shrubs were in flower and the perfume hid any trace of the infernal combustion powered muggles zooming past on both sides Razz
TFTC, I had no bugs with me today!! But I couldn't resist picking up the Charlotte's Web TB. I dunno, there's just something about spiders.

Nice sized cache.

31st Found it findalot After comparing the prices of a few white goods a little further up the road, we walked to the cache while the traffic whizzed by.

....As a pedestrian.......be very careful around here.....

When I opened the cache I thought I was in TB Paradise.

This is the cache to visit if you are heading north or south on the "Bruce" as it contains many trackables at the moment.

Took Geocoin

EDIT: Whoops, in my haste I put the wrong date on the logs.

30th Found it PesceVerde Found on 1 May. I know I've heard that line in a movie. The handy cache was definitely well stocked so the King Albrecht III TB is going on a trip. Will return to drop in a Bug or Geocoin for a stay soon hopefully. SL third of forth I think. TFTH. It's now a very long Bruce.
