MBRL - Kippa-Ring Station Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

inspicio: One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

A 1L Sistema container hidden near the site of the proposed Kippa-Ring Railway Station, the end of the Moreton Bay Rail Link (aka Petrie to Kippa-Ring Rail line).

To make your path to the cache easier, I've marked a waypoint for the start of a track and I started, and subsequent Geocachers have improved, a geotrail at the GZ to the cache.

Remember to bring your insect repellent. It also might be best to avoid trying to find this cache after heavy rain.


A rail-line to Redcliffe was first proposed in 1895 and would have ended on the grounds of the Redcliffe State High School. After more than 115 years the Federal, State and Local governments have agreed to fund and build a rail line.

"The project will provide a 12.6 km dual-track passenger rail line between Petrie and Kippa-Ring, including six new rail stations at Kallangur, Murrumba Downs, Mango Hill, Kinsellas Road, Rothwell and Kippa-Ring." (Source)

This is the first cache (or sixth depending on what direction you're heading in) in this series. I've placed this cache, like all the others, a little away from where the station and line will run so it should survive the construction.

While it might be the case for residents that they will believe the Petrie to Kippa-Ring rail line will be built when a train actually rolls by, Geocachers will at least have a series of caches to find in the mean time.

NB:At the date of placement there are only caches near four of the six stations that will be built. I wasn't able to find places to hide caches near Kallangur or Murrumba Downs stations.

Congratulations to membsec for being FTF all of the first four. Perhaps membsec will get 6/6. Membsec reminded me I hadn't included a line about the purpose of this series (ie it's lieu of the actual line).
