Geocache Description:

This cache is near the Brisbane River adjacent to a popular jogging track.

Make your way to the position 27° 32.611' S 152° 55.546' E. Note the number on the nearby light pole and the features of the nearby table and bench seats.



Walk over a wooden bridge and take a bit of a stroll along a walkway. If you find a small bridge at 27° 32.580' S 152° 55.623' E you are on the right track. Keep on going. You might like to have a rest at the bench seat next to the track. Note the co-ordinates of the seat. A wooden bridge crosses a rather deep gully as you continue down the track. Note the co-ordinates of the first part of the bridge you come to.



There is a fair amount of water in the area but there is a source of drinking water near the old quarry which you come to as you continue on down the path; note its co-ordinates.



If you continue along the track you come across a large wooden structure followed by a smaller wooden structure. Count the steps – note that John Buchan must have been here. Continue on and note the words on the sign at about 27° 32.288' S 152° 55.778' E (sign 1) and the words on another sign, sign 2, at about 27° 32.289' S 152° 55.788' E.



You should now have enough information to find the cache. The cache is a small ammo box.
