I will archive this cache and allow some other cacher to place one in this popular place.

I have arranged for a replacement cache but will disable it until such time as the new one is ready due to the fact that I am currently off the mainland for the next couple of months.

Another DNF and long overdue for a check me thinks! Cheers

Came up in the pocket query, but didnt even bother as it had so many previous DNF's

didn't even attempt this one. figured if lat&long junkie coudn't find it, then we were only going to waste our time.

Found a few bits of concrete, but no cache. GPSr was pretty insistent about where GZ was, but we gave up after about 20 minutes. My watch list has grown by 5 today [B)].

We looked and we looked hard for this one. We spend a great deal of time with no luck. We found the hint totally useless to us so unfortunately couldn't come up with the goods. I have just seen previous cachers didn't find it either ... TFTH ... eatmorchikin & Stigglepot.

DNF: No one was around when we started our search. We were having no luck when cars started to pull in. Must be time for school to let out.

at 5.30pm it was a good choice of time, no one around. A quick dive and we were onto it. SL TNLN TFTC

Found at 1300. No one about at the time. TNLNSL TFTC

a quick eay pick up today as it is a no go zone for kiddies today

2nd find of the caching run, and 2187th total find at 10:13.

No muggles around when we were here, so it was just a quick trip into the bush and Bingo, there it was.

Took: Nothing
Left: Screwdriver

Thanks for the cache.

Ian and Penny

Called in here on the way south to Brisbane. Nice quick find, no muggles around at about 1pm.

Found on our return trip for the HV Caching event weekend ...

Had to stop in Maryboorough & reload GPS as updated gpx file hadn't taken - pays to check available caches after each upload B4 heading out the door....

Quick search & cache was to hand courtesy of Ally-Searching (eagle eyed geo-daughter)..

Signed logs TNLN & we were away again....

Thanks gerrynewgirl for the challenge...

found this one ok.

the hint helped.

Thanks gerrynewgirl for the cache

Well the GPSr had GZ under the car but after a bit of a wander cache was found a short distance away. First cache in Maryborough.

TFTC

Good cache in a tricky spot, until you find it. Then its easy to do the deed. Thank goodness for the hint. It was a school day but pretty quiet. TFTC

a great little cache - in a cool spot - but a bit damp- My Dad told me a local history story that 60 years ago a guy nicknamed "Ashes"used to live down the track right next to the cache , and would walk all the way from here to Hervey Bay and BACK in one day pushing a wheelbarrow collecting glass bottle to sell for recyling. True story. My family has lived here since 1909.

Catching up on Freddo the TB frogs travels with us. He visited this cache.

Last time I thought water had been through GZ. Today, I positively know water has been through GZ. But this time, I did find the cache, and can confirm it has survived unscathed.

Found at 1210 hrs, number 1 for today.

Cheers
Bundy

Nice easy find. While in Sydney last week came across a geo coin (CRAPPY CACHE AWARD) No number, just a coin for people to share around other sites that are worthy of this coin. All in fun. Thanks for the cache. Left above coin and took nothing. Cheers

Yay! found it nicely and easily.
TFTC

Quick stop as I raced out of town. The cache was found after I read the hint. Thanks for the cache.

We were a little nervous after the recent DNF when we pulled up, but our fears quickly disappeared when we followed the GeoTrain straight to the cache!

As luck would have it, it started pouring as soon as Steve picked the cache up. The GeoWife and GeoKid bolted for the car while Steve did the paper work, trying his hardest to keep the log dry.

This one would be almost impossible on a school day!

No swaps, but we picked up the GeoCoin to keep it moving.

Thanks for the cache

Had a pretty bad few days, more DNF's than finds. This was another. It does appear that a significant amount of water has washed through the area last night. On my next trip south, which is a couple of weeks time.

Cheers
Bundy

Quick find on the way south. Nice and quiet during the holidays.

TNLN & TFTC.

Cheers,

Quite today everyone on holiday, Mrs F does not like going into these places. (the thought of the wild life here has her on edge) Left GC. TFTC

it would be impossible to acquire the cache during school hours

We have come from New Zealand and are taking part in the Australian Mountainbike Championships in the Tuan Forest. Good cache to do in the school holidays. Wonder how many school kids have found it?

Found as member of LEDGIN'S.

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1700hrs. took little car/plane on wheels and left HD Springer cloth badge. TFTC.

Nice easy find on a rainy Sunday. Would definitely be a high muggle area during the week. TFTC

Initially I wasn't trusting the GPS, was sure it was going to be closer to its cache namesake. Finally decided to 'listen' to the GPS and found it immediatley.

Nice easy find here TFTC.

GeoHubby found this one with hothead no far behind the find. TFTC

found it. tftc

Blending in? Very unlikely, even without the two primary school students I had dragged out caching as potential camoflage for just these types of caches! Luckily for me it was Saturday, so very quiet at GZ.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal, Bethany & Tory.

A very quick find at 1255hrs on my way south. In and out like a flash.

Thanks G.

On the way to Brisbane decided to see if we could find this one as it close to HWY, fairly easy find, signed log and continued journey. TFTC

As I was welcomed to Maryborough I had a decision to make. Where to park
The closest car park was quickly discounted and instead I opted for the nearby carpark outside the industrial premises. The geomobile blended in perfectly on this side of GZ [^]
A casual stroll and a quick dissapearing act and the cache was soon found
TFTC.

Took a little while to located the cache. Few muggles around. Took: Cow Left: Pink Starfish
TFTH Great little spot.

So close to muggles yet so well hidden... School was on today, but cars were parked further away. Took TB.
TFTC, Gerry!

Found it ... took keyring and left TB

I was out doing maintenance on a couple of my caches so I thought I might of well get this one out of the way.

Thanks

TNLN
