Another one bites the dust.

I will disable this cache until I get to check it out. I assume it is gone.

16:51 Same as the last 2 searchers. No joy.

Unfortunately the 'most obvious' and the 'second most obvious' place along with all the other places did not reveal this one for me even after two visits. Maybe another day.

Thought we had a good look between muggles coming and going but didn't come up with the find.

OMG. we found the spot where it was obvious but i know it wasnt right so i looked at the 2nd obvious place and sure enough it was there. tftc. tnln

Easy find with Hothead, TFTC

Good spot to stop for lunch while geocaching for day. 11yr old geo daughter found this one straight away. I think she's hooked. Will have to start hiding the gps.

After a quick break, back on the road for more caches, this time with my 7 y.o.son, Jeremy. This cache initially had us a little stumped but we soon found the cache.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,
best wishes,
Wal & Jeremy

In company with Ortaga we found this one pretty quickly at 1135hrs.

On arrival at GZ, the plaque was immediately obvious
So too were the muggles at the nearby picnic table having morning tea and the council muggles repairing the flat tyre on the council lawnmower [:o]
After searching for a Lamington nearby though, they were all just leaving as I returned across the bridge
Nice easy find after that [^]
TFTC and history.

Found it ... TNLN

I used to play down here when I was a kid. There was no fancy park just paddocks & guava trees. Some-one/thing has left a smelly message on a close-by rock be careful. TFTC

Nice easy find for Geo-granddaughter who is staying with us.
The heavy rain left it a bit exposed. Signed log and put back with a few pieces of camo!
TFTC.

Found it after looking in a few wrong spots. Not much camouflage on this one, but it still doesn't stand out.

10:00
Another one grabbed between the showers today. Fortunately it was a nice quick find.
TFTC

A few cars parked nearby, but no muggles around, so the hunt began.
It wasn't in the 1st place I looked, but it was located shortly thereafter.
A pleasant spot beside the river, and I do like having a nearby table to log the find.
Thanks Marty & Karen.

We finally got around to enabling this cache.

from Marty & Karen.

With the MAry River in flood we thought we would recover these caches and put them back after the flood passes.

An old chook visited

Found with weroamin, spotted the shipwreck and read its history whilst in the area.

This one took me to a place visited before but not on the hunt for a cache. The amazing hint made all the sense in the world at GZ, but perhaps a little camo on the container might be an idea. TFTC

Found this well kept and hidden cache while walking the muggle distractors. Lucky we had them as there were certainly a lot of both about. Could see the ship wreck as it was low tide. Thanks.

Found by Bevfre.3.45 TN LN SL Thanks Marty & Karen

Yet more muggle-dodging today, but success was ours – the cache was exactly where we thought it would be. Oddly, as the picture on my GPSr screen said it was over --------> there, but the numbers said it was over <------- here. Here won . Couldn’t see the wreck, though. TFTC! =’.’=

As we waited for the muggles to leave GZ we watched a man flying his model helicopter. He seemed to enjoy making it spin and almost made me dizzy just watching it! With muggles gone, the cache was quickly ours. TFTC

A full on weekend raid on our own through Gympie, Maryborough, Burrum Heads, back down through Kin Kin and Noosaville collecting 62 caches along the way.

Nearly gave up on this one found in the last look.

Yep He Goon found this one after She Goon had lost the clue sheet on the way. Guess someone has to do the hard yards. Nice area and will investigate it more soon.
The Goons

Found at last I have tried several times to do this cache but there were allways muggles around. Today I looked all over the place to find the cache but it eluded me. Just when I was about to give up I saw this white thing and was pleased to see it was what I have been looking for. Now I find I forgot the pen, so off I go to get something to write with, so as to fill out the log. Log signed. Cache back in place.
Thank you Marty and Karen

Easy find, but learning the history of the area is interesting.

quick easy find after the bike ride there. TNLN signed log. found with cfn69.

easy to find following a bike ride. TNLN, signed log. found with azwok.

We looked for this on on the 7th and we couldn not find it, no matter how much we looked.
We then went back today, and found it within seconds. I am sure, as are the other 3, that we looked in the exect same place many times. Strange..........................

This one was supposed to be easy but had us puzzled for a while. GPS insisted it was right under our car. Found it eventually.

Found Ok

Our 4th for the day, and 4th for the trip, as we took a good break in Maryborough. I had knocked off nearly all the caches here in 2 previous visits, but this one had since come up. Nice easy one. Found at 1155hrs.

Cheers
Bundy

A nice easy find TFTC.

Found at 15:20 hrs. Champion spot. Not much time to look around.

We were delighted when we looked at the geocaching site to find there was a new cache in Maryborough and so close to where we were staying at the caravan park. Put on our walking shoes and had the cache in hand in no time. Interesting location - thanks for the cache.

Only missed FTF by hours or minutes,arrived at 12 noon. Easy find with clues and co-ords lead straight the cache.
