TFTC smile 20988 Out and about on a Rainy day grabing a cache to try and keep a challenge going signed as GS1947 on small logs On a trip to Maryborough to fine a few 4x4 caches with Chamad It's Party time at GCARTY0 - 05 October 2025 Sunshine Coast come and join us for a great time Thank you cooroy scouts adopted by sweet - sour for placing this cache for our enjoyment

A drive around the northern parts of the sunny coast and then venturing up to Howard before then turning around and heading to Maryborough for the night. It was Grannysmith and I on a venture around seeking out off road vehicle attributes for a challenge cache. We both needed a few so it was organised for a nice road trip. The weather was not that nice to us but the fun was driving on the tracks that not many vehicles have been for a while. We ended up clearing fallen trees and large branches on some tracks. We even collected a few stray caches as we passed. It was a fun day and we got in some good memories. Oh that bloke at the end of a unpassable track will never be forgotten Youre a road LOL. This was part of today's journey; thanks for the placement, the logs were signed and the caches replaced as found. If you are seeing this please check out, GCARTY0, see what is planned for October 2025. There is an importance in placing will attends to events. Thanks for supporting geocaching in Australia. ITS A PARTY EVENT!

A big rocky hill climb to GZ. Walked past it initially. Thanks for the bushwalk.

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Found with lisylou and mnance101 i enjoyed the walk

Found after a bit of uppity up the hill. Nice quick find at gz with bennyboppers and mnance101 today. Tftc

After a mammoth climb up a hill we found it nicely hidden

Upholl hike but we found it. Thanks mate

dahumbug I found your cache Pete's Treasure on 9/4/2024, 1:10PM. This is my find 6527 and find # 11 today. A bit of a hike up to GZ. Once there it was a quick and easy find. A bit sketchy as I returned to the ute a different way than the way up. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Pete's Treasure was transferred from Sweet-Sour to user dahumbug

TFTC Sweet-Sour, still a few caches to find in the area. Today we are targeting a few we have passed by many times.
Very pretty area,

BL made the climb up the slope .

I was up on the Sunshine Coast chasing oldies. Some by 4wd, some just park and grab. I had a good out.
6 where found today, most were easy. Then quick drive home.

A cache well worth its ratings. Almost dislocated my knee and ripped the guts out of my elbow. But got it in the end. And now i have trust issues with rocks. Gahhh, thanks for the cache, all looks to be in good condition!

The road to this cache is closed until the 28th January because of flood damage, so parked up and made the 600 meter walk up the track and the last 100 meters was quite steep. Arrived at GZ and the coords were spot on for me which made for a nice easy find. Deserves a favourite point for the lovely adventure. TFTC Sweet-Sour

4/9/21 Find #4984

There was originally a completely different plan in place for today. But the weather forecast made us rethink that - mountains in wet weather are not generally a wise move. So with those plans aborted, it was a case of calling up different locations around and checking their weather forecast. As Gympie’s weather appeared to be suitable, our new plan was for Fangsoki, Pprime and I to head to Brooyar forest and grab some nice old caches, well for Pprime and I to grab them at least.
I am trying not to get too many caches at the moment, so slowing down the finds with a trip like this seemed like a good plan… maybe. I mean there were only 4 caches on the list for me to get, so that shouldn’t upset things too much, right?!
So we piled into Harvey the CRV, who I was assured would cope with today’s roads just fine.
Now the previous road was interesting, and as we came out of there I do recall saying something about this next road had better be better. Well it looked like it was going to be as we headed across the intersection, but then things looked like they could take a turn for the worse rather quickly.
However Harvey was in fine form, and dealt with whatever was sent his way like a star.
We pulled the car in and looked up. Oohhhh we have to go up there!! Pprime and I began our trudging, again wary of the possibility of slithering creatures on such a warm day.
At GZ there was a bit of a search before Pprime came up with the goods - there are after all quite a few suitable crevices here. And I had been expecting to find a cache a little lower in a crevice than where this one was found. Tho Mr Prime tells me it’s because he had a successful boy look.
What we couldn’t believe was the SEQ hiking group who had somehow stumbled on this cache by accident. Here?! I have no idea how that was possible!
Thanks for the cache cooroy scouts, and for keeping it going Sweet-Sour.

Accio 11:23:46
A little drive out today with Fangsoki and 1MinnieMoo to nab a couple of oldies in the area. A lovely little meander into GZ (OK, it's up up up up), watching for our slithery friends but all good today. Bit of a scrabble around until I found it witha boy look where 1MM had already been [:X]. Cache in good condition. Great to see an original logbook (seems name was changed early on).

Thanks cooroy scouts adopted by sweet - sour for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #9850}*

Scrambled up the hill for a quick find in the first spot I checked. Thanks for the cache

A long climb, hard to find

Not there

treasure found and logged

not hidden very well bit good find

What a nice little climb and easy find. TFTC!

Enjoyable scramble and easy find while camping at Glastonbury Creek. TFTC

Long hike up but found it

A nice day to cache in the Autumn

This was a fun one. Had a little explore along the ridge while we were here. Very cool.

Quick easy find. Was fun.

Nice climb. Had a good day out in the forest today!

Out in the Brooyar State Forest with Sweet-Sour today. Whilst I was finding the caches, Sweet-Sour were finding the ones he hadn't found and performing maintenance on his own caches.

Sweet-Sour parked his motor vehicle and allowed me the pleasure of finding a track and making my way to GZ. The GPS was bouncing around so it took a little while to settle on a direction to go in. End up making it to GZ and found the cache soon after.

The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.

All is good with this cache.

Find #510.

TFTC ***Cooroy Scouts*** and thanks to ***Sweet-Sour*** for maintaining it.

Out today with CDAH55, mainly in Brooyer State Forest checking on the health of my caches and the other 3 for far away CO's.

I have the pleasure to report all is with this one
Happy caching Sweet-Sour

Partner daughter n I turned into billy goats to find this one... Watch ur step, it can be a doozie.. Not recommended for real young kiddies... Added some gifts

Another hike....great fun....TFTC. out geocaching with spinyleafinsect mirikochan and Sphir3.

Out for a day of caching with the geofamily (jonesgang, spineyleafinsect and mirikochan).

Myself and spineyleafinsect decided to embrace our inner mountain goat and run up to this one, a quick find.

TFTC Sweet-Sour

This was the last cache of the day and a great one to end on. After a little of a climb, helping to stretch out the legs after a day of bush Geocaching, the cache was quickly found. The log was signed and all replaced home... Well.

About halfway back down I realised I had the pencil still in my hand and turned around to take it home. Once there, what else was there... My GPSr sitting atop the cache.

I swapped a pencil for a GPSr.

This cache was part of a trip that I shared with Fairy Mother to celebrate a belated Mother's Day. Fairy Mother decided that on her day, she wanted to hunt in an area we both love. That area, hands down, no doubt about, was the bush.

The lucky place chosen to be cleaned up today was the Brooyar State Forest, which you could say is Fairy Mother's backyard. It was a great day and as normal we got lost, went the wrong way, did a million 20-point turns on narrow dirt roads all whilst taking the hardest route possible to GZ. But, you know what, WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT and that's how we Geocache!

Thank you for the cache Sweet-Sour and thank you for taking care of such a great forest. All is in good order.

Had an overnight stay at the Glastonbury Creek Camp Site and a day of caching.

Found a few good ones in the area and intend on coming back to finish the rest.

TFTC

#362

Heading back down from Black Stump and decided to make this our second last one for the day (given that light was starting to disappear).

Geokids were over walking by this stage however with enough rallying there were in it for one last hike.

Relatively easy hike to the top for a simple find. Geokid 3 was the lucky finder this time.

Signed and returned before heading back to the car. On to Brooyar Post Office before heading back to Brisbane.

TFTC.

I had neglected this area for way too long. I was at a loose end on a weekend off - so I decided to make a jaunt to the area.

I found some decent parking and set off. I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew when I looked up. But I soon found a path up that wasn't too difficult. I picked my way up until the GPSr pointed to a certain area.

Sure enough - a cache was found safe and sound. I signed the log and re-hid it. I picked my way down carefully without incident - despite the wet grass.

A nice little area. TFTC Cooroy Scouts.. and Sweet-Sour for maintaining it

wow good view but good hillclimb cool TFTC

Good hard climbing rocky hill! beautiful views TFTC

Early morning scramble after coffee and before breakfast ! After doing the other two ( Black stump and X marks the spot ) on this road yesterday this was a breeze !
We parked below and scrambled up the hillside following the garmins arrow - Ended up I was standing right on top of the cache - Co ords were spot on .
Signed logbook 6:50 am.
Mrs.K. Extra pleased with the birds sighted on the hillside up here.
SweetSour - TFTC.
And a fav point from us.

Out today in the forest here for our 1000th cache find milestone. We were with our close friend forbiddenground. What a day we had climbing, falling, sight seeing and marvelling at this amazing landscape. Thank you for placing these caches around here in these perfect spots. Every single one is worth a fav point from us. Tftc

After joining in with Mr and Mrs Cantcacheus2014 on there 1000th cache find at the kings tomb, the remaining caches is this beautiful neck of the woods needed to be found by days end. It was an adventurous spotting a snake, breeding pair of wedge tailed eagles close by, a cicada emerging from its shell what an amazing thing to see. Luckily it hasn't rained as much up here as Brisbane currently, the 4wd handled the terrain with ease. Knowing the terrain levels of these caches we knew todays work would be hard and challenging at times. Parked with in 60m of GZ but vertical, seemed to take forever! We soon found GZ great hide! Signed Log made some trades TFTC

T-Tech, Brother Colin and I are camping at Brooyar for the weekend, and yesterday BC and I each got a big milestone done! 5000 for me and 7000 for him Today we are going to tackle the task of getting all of the caches done in the forest.

Time for some 4WD action. A bit of a scramble up to this one. TFTC, Sweet-Sour.

Out with IolantheK & Brother Colin who was trying to build their numbers to before they both reached significant milestones. IolantheK @ 5000 and Brother Colin @ 7000. I came along to transport, cheer on and assist where possible [^]
Caching today in the heat wasn't easy
Well this is it the Milestones are reached at the Emperor so every thing from now on is a bonus
Took the Subaru out of the Glastonbury Campsite following the creek a few large flat stone shelves of rock to get up but we managed it [^]
Nice easy find
The cache is dry and in good condition [^]
TFTC Sweet-Sour

found it with mshs

Wow fair climb but good. Tftc

Wow what a hike TFTC

Great little climb, bit steep but we got there. Awesome cache

Steep climb but rewarding.

Tough climb on a humid day. Great spot. Thanks.

Great climb. Nice view. Thank you.

Enjoyed the climb. TFTC!

Found with Balfour4x4

Steep, challenging, but super fun!!

Found with goldielover on this very hot day. Quick climb to the cache. Grabbed the TB.
TFTC

Goldielover and Stairman brought me here after the event.
Nice little spot.

Thanks for the cache.

Found with stairman1 and geodog. The day was early but was certainly heating up. I let stairman1 grab this one as he is much quicker than I am climbing hills. He signed our names an grabbed the tb. Thanks Sweet-Sour.

Doing a few this morning with the family, TOm and MUm said i was on my own so up DAd climbed, the gpsr was having a moment and led me straight past the cache.....how could i have missed it, i first found a small cave with half a dozen tiny bats inside. The gpsr finally decided to play fair and the log was signed shortly after.
It was fun climbing up here and the bats were a treat.
Grabbed a trackable 4KMT4X which i will move along.
TFTC

Cache in good nick, log book slightly damp. Great climb up here. TFTC.

We ventured on to this cache.
Geopartner decided to wait in the car while I went to do this one.
After a while, he got worried about me and came looking and by that time I had found the cache and was just signing the log when he called.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Cooroy scouts for setting it up and sweet-sour for taking it over All good with this cache

Path tag taken. Going to investigate these. could be another addiction?

Hubby and I tried this in the 4x4 but the GPS didn't seem to be working properly and 3km out hubby threw in the towel and refused to go any further.

Hello from Sweden

Out doing the rounds of the 8 caches in Glastonbery and Brooyar State Forest with my daughter Doscrapbooking, she would find them and I would check the condition of the cache.
All's well.
left a path tag

Out with Brother Colin and co. after a spot of climbing at Brooyar's Black Stump.
After scrambling up the hill, GZ was off a little bit but found a sort of flattened cairn.
Found the cache dry and safe in its spot, grabbed the TB that has been sitting here since last year.

Pete"s Treasure was transferred from cooroy scouts to user sweet - sour

The container was replaced by me on the 21.12.11 with existing log.

Maintence carried out.
New container, ziploc bag, all OK

Out caching with geo son.

We went looking for some not-so-often visited caches in the area.

This one has not had a visitor in over a year. Like others before us we found only the log book [which is titled 'Pirate's Treasure'. ]

So we added a new container, a new ziplock bag and a pen.

A bit of a small hike from the road but I made it and found it.

We got to it in a 2wd ute.

Sorry I couldn't replace the missing container. I't a great cache and should be fixed. TFTC

As others have said the ammo box is missing. Log was placed under a burnt piece of wood. Damp but still OK. Great Spot. Thanks

Great little climb to this cache... Pity it's container has been robbed, only a log book in a bag remains.
TFTC

had a hard time finding this . i forgot it was out of the ammmo box because its gone, finally looked where i should have it was there but ,just a flat surface good hide.

Find #500 and geoson Huge Red Machine's 200th find on our first anniversary of taking up geocaching! Had a great day in Brooyar Forest chasing down our milestones.

Particularly enjoyed the scramble up to this cache, which we found just fine with the original coordinates. As this is one of the few unburnt areas of this forest, I replaced the cache (ie PLASTIC BAG WITH LOG and stash note only) under a non-flammable but somewhat large cache guard, then had a good look around. Found an interesting small cave further up the hill (need to get up close to see it), but no ammo tin or discarded swaps ... TFTC cooroy scouts.

Found it, people of the world! TFTC.

By the way, looks like your ammo box has been nicked. we just found a logbook and pen and cache note in a zip lock bag.

while out with captain terror picked this one up. good fun running up the hill to it. turned out my gps was closer than his anyways. just shows experience may not be such a great advantage ;P

Nice climb up to get this one. coordinates were quite a way off. I make the coordinates of GZ to be:
S 26 08.861 E 152 32.360.

TFTC.

I thought I'd be clever and come in from the west so I didn't have to climb up so much, not exactly the best idea I've had in a while, the scrub was rather thick...

Should have paid more attention to the altitude hint - when the needle pointed UP I went 'oh bugger'. But a lovely sunny day in the bush and I got my exercise. The number of pirates around these parts is amazing!

an old chook visited

Well it has taken me 4 months to get back to claim this cache as a find. Climbed up the hill the same way as before but this time in the company of weroamin. Co ords were a long way off or the GPS was lying, anyway weroamin spotted the hiding place and the log was duly signed. The climb up was easier this time around and the view was just as pretty. Just how did Pete manage the climb!!! TFTC.

I note that gerrynewgirl commented about the climb - ah, no smoking! This was a good place for a cache and it was stowed away safe and sound although I had to put away the GPS and think like a cacher to spot it. To say that I signed the log makes me sound like a wood carver in this country though. Love the effort on the cache containers put in by CS. Thanks for the cache. TN left token.

Found it ... hope you like rock climbing ... took keyring and left Chinese Coins

It was getting late in the day and there was a thunderstorm approaching from the west as I hopped out of the geomobile and set off for GZ
I followed an old trail along the ridgeline above the cache and only had a short scramble down to find the treasure
What a treasure it was too. I managed to get Pete to let go of it long enough for me to sign the manifest as the first drops of rain began to fall
A quick sprint back to the car and I sat there for the next half hour watching the lightning show and marvelling at the torrential downpour. A bowl I left outside collected 55mm of rainwater in 30 minutes
TFTC and fun and games [^]

Saw this one on GPS whilst in the area, must have downloaded it some time back. Anyway I had no notes or indication of what I was looking for, GPS was all over the place and wouldn't settle. Enjoyed the climb and the view and will be back with some idea of what the cache is.

I must say Konie's "pocket rocket" must be on the grog..if it were at all possible. After observing and getting a feel (especially from the butt)from the the cache gothicia.I spied the elusive treasure spot.

When Konie had finely arrived to the gz he asked me when i had grown the beard.We were both agreed that the location and cache were impressive but both Pete,who was at my feet at the time and myself, were very scared at Konie's gruffness. I'm sure for future caches i will have to involve stealth with the big K or ...its the big walk home...(lucky it was only from yandina this time).
It was all great fun thanks to KONIES 4wd!!!
Well done scouts

Found with d.d.dudes at 1145hrs. After a lovely little stroll I was beaten again by dudes who was making a habit of being first in today. The gloating is something that has to be seen to be believed.

Another great spot CS.

Found today with the Geodogs. Loved the guardian! Thanks for the great find!

Lovely bit of country, though coming in from the Wide Bay road wasn't real caravan friendly. Anyway we found the cache without any problem, the guarian of the cache was on alert. TNLN. Thanks cooroy scouts.

Found this one a while back, just updating my new profile... tftc

12 Noon
Out with my little brother on a morning raid of some of his local caches. Had a fair idea of this one, having checked out these features on a recent recon walk while abseiling at the nearby cliffs. Made the climb and was holding Pete to ransom in no time. Loved the cache guard!
TNLN. TFTC.
