Thats right, there is a FREE ferry ride involved in this cache.
This cache is meant to be part of a fun day out for families. That
being the case it is not a long or hard cache, and the cache
container has a few goodies in it ready for swapping. The cache is
located in a park with many facilities. Why not make a day out of
it and have a BBQ or picnic with the kids? This cache is designed
to get you onto and using the Moggill Ferry as a pedestrian as
pedestrian travel is FREE on this ferry. As the ferry operates
between 6a and 6p each day, you will need to limit your adventures
to within those times. You should also listen to your traffic radio
in the morning before heading out, just to make sure that bad
weather or breakdown has not stopped the ferry from operating that
day. You should proceed to the above stated coordinates which are
on the Brisbane side of the river and then continue on a short way
to the parking areas near the ferry. (One of Brummy’s Berocca
Series caches is really really close at this location, but you will
need to do the rest of the series in the same day to be eligible to
log it!) You should then catch the ferry across to the Ipswich side
of the river. While on the ferry answer the following two

straight back to the ferry to go back to the Brisbane side.
