Redcliffe Showgrounds Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Captain Terror: This geocache was placed as a chuckle and a plug for the Queensland Geocaching Mega Event Stanthorpe 2015. Since then the area has changed and with no favourite points, I decided this whole listing was no longer adding much to the game. As such, it is archived.

Many thanks to all who found it, uploaded a picture and said nice things. It is noted some teams even had this as their first find. My last visit to the area highlighted it has changed a lot since it was placed and again, not really a place requiring a geocache. All fixed now. Goodbye, 'Redcliffe Showgrounds' :)

Transport to the area is a breeze, both public transport and roads to the area are outstanding. The Hornibrook Bridge, carrying traffic from Brisbane on the Houghton Highway has recently been upgraded. Very closeby is the Redcliffe Aerodrome and only a short drive from Brisbane International Airport and the Sunshine Coast Airport. Public transport is also available via bus and the MBRL train line being planned.

Due to the showgrounds being available for hire, the cache itself is on the public footpath surrounding the grounds, a short walk from the vehicle and new pedestrian gates. There may be muggles at some times of the day, so keep an eye out. There is plenty of street parking along the adjacent road. GZ should provide some cover while you hunt.
