Chinese Curry Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia
By Team Beaufort on 11-May-08. Waypoint GC1CBEV

We continued today our tour of several AUS states in the NorthWest and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Multi-Cache.The weather was - said in one word simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood. The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.Thanks to Team Beaufort for the generation of this nice cache Chinese Curry (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they happened.Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

After QOGM 2023 in Longreach, TBU went on a round trip via Mount Isa, Cloncurry, Burketown, Karumba, Ravenshoe, Atherton Tablelands down to Innisfail to Townsville. Then we were heading towards South back home, still refreshing our memories and collecting smileys. It was a nice variety of hides and we bumped into couple of cachers on the way. We stayed in Cloncurry and collected couple of caches.Thanks for this cache,Team Beaufort

We travelled from Melbourne and stop many different towns and will go on our way to Longreach for QOGM

Here's one to find today. Thank you for placing the cache   Team Beaufort.

Spending a couple of nights at Cloncurry, slowly heading to QOGM at Longreach
Just the AL in the morning, in the afternoon we cached around the town area
Cloncurry is having a big weekend, races, markets & a street fair
What a great way to tour the country following the geocaching trail.
Great views of the town. Very nice art work on the water tank FP given
Thanks to the CO for placing this cache

On our travels we found ourselves in Cloncurry for a couple of night and took the opportunity to grab some caches, after solving the puzzle we were off to the cache sight (which we had just left) and the search was on, many a rock picked up until finally spotto the log signed and placed back, thanks for the awesome cache

Checked out the Chinese grave site. Then, head of to get our smile It took us some time ti find the cache as our phone was playing up. We were just about to give up when we got the phone to settle.. We were glade to signe our name on and old cache. Great views from here. Tftc.

Out and about in Cloncurry today finding many different caches and walking in lots of interesting areas as well as up and down hills! Interesting history here about the Chinese. TFTC

Find number 12233 at 1:54:32 pm on Thursday the 20 July 2023
Departed Melbourne the other day and travelling north for the winter, well, for the northern warmth actually (hopefully ), passing through as many small towns as I can grabbing the odd cache here and there as I travel. Leaving Kynuna this morning and heading north west before heading back east again hoping to find somewhere for the night just Cloncurry and Hughenden, ended up at Julia Creek. I'll be heading out first thing in the morning to Cloncurry before doubling back east
I was almost goint to walk to GZ, then I realised where it was, thank god I didn't head off, it's bloody hot!
Quick find once I got to the right spot
**Thanks for placing this cache Team Beaufort**

Got to town a little early for the bottle shop to be open, so we headed here instead. Photos taken then proceeded to explore the area a little more. Thanks for bringing us here.

Very nice views from up here. It was nice to see the sun setting as we found this cache. Thanks for placing.

Always great to grab an old cache as we pass through town. TFTC!

Found Ok

Not really hunting caches today. Stopped at the cemetery with visiting relatives and when ‘oh yeah, a cache’. Then when back to the final spot where we had just left.

After having lunch at the parking WP we wandered over to the cemetery to find our numbers for this cache.
The sums all worked well and we soon had ourselves some new coordinates.

A beautiful view at GZ looking across the town and to the river.

The cache was soon found thanks to your good hint.

Thank you.

Having done my research last night through the wonders of Mr Google I was able to head straight to GZ, which provided an excellent view. Despite the age of this cache the coords were still bang on and the extra hint provided a foolproof method of super quick location. Everything was in great condition and I was able to quickly sign, replace and continue on my way.

We arrived in Cloncurry yesterday, and visited the waypoint to collect the information. At that stage it was dusk, so we decided to wait until today to make the find.
A beautiful view at GZ looking across to the river.
Log signed.
Thanks Team Beaufort

Found at 3:45:00 PM(t) GAFF3 at a distance of 10 metres.
An interesting way of being guided to the cache!
We appreciated the information about Patsy Durack - waited a year!
Thanks Team Beaufort.

A nice quick solve on this multi and relocated to the final, a few people around but no one watching me, I found the coordinates to be spot on and lined up perfectly with the hint.
Great views of the Curry, thanks for the multi, bringing me here and

TFTC

The coords were spot on as was the hint. The views were perfect, The sky was blue and there was a mild breeze, perfect. Thank you for placing this cache for us to find.

There were so many reasons to make this one of our caches for today. The sun was shining and the sky was a brilliant blue. The view was magnificent and very clear. To top it off for me was the fact that it was an older cache. Thank you for placing this cache and maintaining it for so long.

Thanks Team Beaufort. Great cache and hide. Fav point alloc

Day 12 of our adventure to Townsville Mega, I noticed that wazza9 found this cache in 2011, when I didn't have an account then, but I remembered where we got the information, we returned today to get the required information, then off to GZ, quick find signed log and returned. Thanks to Team Beaufort.

Finally Found It, Did Need A Little Help From A Fellow Cacher. Daughter Spotted It Before I Did

Love the puzzle and then it was almost a quick find. TFTC

Really like these puzzle ones. Thank you.

first we paid our respect and gathered clues. Went to an amazing place! Had a rest here after too, the cache is nicely hidden

Hi there Team Beaufort.

We found your cache **"Chinese Curry"** today.

We're full time grey nomads, currently avoiding COVID hot spots on our way to QOGM in Cunnamulla. Today we cached around Cloncurry and found 9 caches in a variety of container types and sizes (& DNF'd 0).

Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache near where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The cache was UV damaged and very brittle so we made the repair and restored the cache to good health.

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the northern tip of Australia and back. Traveling up solo along the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, then through central Queensland to Quilpie, Blackall, Barcaldine, Hughendon and Ravenshoe to Cairns. In Cairns I met up with e.gregory1 and a non-cacher friend and spent three weeks on Cape York Peninsula before making our way back to Cairns and Mareeba. From there I headed on my own back home via Normanton and Karumba, Cloncurry, Mount Isa, Tennant Creek and back down the Stuart Highway through Alice Springs to Adelaide. All in all I spent six weeks on the road, visited many out of the way locations, enjoying the scenery and finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache Team Beaufort!

On my trip up north to find some warmer weather and I have definitely found it today.
Nothing like shorts and a short sleeved shirt to soak up some vitamin D.
In Cloncurry for a couple of days checking out the sites and of course finding a few caches.
Made my under the bridge to a great little spot that you would not have known about except for caching.
Worked out what was required did the maths and headed off to GZ.
Déjà vu as I had been here recently.
Had the place to myself so was able to poke around and soon came up with the cache

Thanks Team Beaufort TFTC.

After getting the required numbers I headed off to GZ. I found the glass, I found the tree, and I found the post but almost missed the cache. Just as I thought I would have to give up I found what I was looking for. TFTC

Day 3 of our tour around Queensland. Today saw us heading from Longreach to Cloncurry picking up this, that and anything else that we came across.

After unpacking our gear and having a rest at the hotel it was time to head off and grab a few more hides. This was the first and our must to in Cloncurry. Eskies5 did all the leg work and we were off to GZ. This is one spot we definitely wouldn’t have come to if it wasn’t for caching and now very glad that it had.

Arriving at GZ we were about to start our search before we got asked to help out after another traveler had managed to lock her keys in her car. With a few phone calls made we had the right person coming to help and we were on our way to start our search.

It wasn’t too long before Eskies5 let out the cheer that she had what we had came for. Great to tick off another oldie on this trip. TFTC Team Beaufort

Day 3 of 8 (Longreach to Cloncurry) of a Queenslander road trip with Kestal, clocking just over 4000km, to tick off boxes for different challenges. What a great little multi! Loved the history, loved the view! A fave pt from me. TFTC Team Beaufort.

When we pulled up at the final a lady approached us asking us if we could ring someone to assist her as she had locked her keys (along with her phone) in her troop carrier. After a couple of calls, Paul from RACQ was on his way. She went off to take a few photos and we were able to confirm our calculations were correct and we had ourselves a log to find.

Heading west to Mount Isa and stopped to grab some caches along the way and this was one of them. I soon gathered the information needed and headed off to GZ and made a quick find.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

TFTC Team Beaufort

I took along some trackables for a visit.

Once the calculations were done it was off to the new co-ords for a quick find

TFTC

Six years after the first try we came back to lodge a found log. Thank you for the interesting history and the lovely views.

Interesting history, amazing people. Must check the book out. Waypoint 1 easy to collect. Cache was too. Container's lid is disintegrating. Good views. TFTC

It's always interesting to learn about the history of a place when you are travelling and this was no exception. After a stop at the pub for a beer, we headed to the posted coords and quickly gathered some information then off to the final for a quick find and to enjoy the views. Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache. Interesting location.
Cheers

Out and about here visiting my nephew and his family here in Cloncurry.
Saw this multi pop up and I had to grab it for my 1000th find. Yeehaa.
A nice little spot at WP1 that probably doesn’t get much of a visit.
Cache at final WP is starting to show some signs of its age and probably needs a new container, but it’s holding up for now.
I visited 3 TB.
TFTC.

A great cache for travellers passing through.
But i wish I had brought proper shoes
The hint helped with gz.
Tftc!

Quick find on our second attempt at this cache. The first involved a slip, rolling in the Spinifex and a little blood some months ago. The container is getting a bit worse for wear and is no longer water proof. Thanks for the cache.

An overnighter in Cloncurry today. Stopped at a lovely caravan park and ventured out around town to grab the caches. Nice simple multi for a hot day.

At the beginning you have to look exactly, but the final was an easy find.

After camping at Porcupine Gorge last night, I continued my journey west towards Mount Isa, checking out the various towns and caches along the way.

Its been almost 3 weeks since I left Adelaide on a trip north in search of some warmer weather and I’ve really been enjoying the changing landscapes and visiting new places.

Another interesting bit of history and a nice view from GZ. Cache was a quick find.

Thanks Team Beaufort for the cache.

Quick find at both locations although the hint certainly came in handy. Spotted the SPOR at the GZ. Nice short multi. Much appreciated

Found it yay TFTC

Day 243 - Today were area again on the road however before we hooked up we made the trip out to collect the final of this multi as we collected the information from WP1 the day before it was a nice quick trip up to the location for the search and after a quick search the cache was in hand with the log signed we made our way back to the caravan and hooked up for our trip to Mt Isa.

Thanks Team Beaufort for placing this cache for us to add to our collection today.

Nice and easy one. We would have visited the final even without the cache, but so it was better. The place is just magical, FP for this location. And found a usefully tool in the cache box, which we could have used just this morning as we were hiding our first geocache.
TFTC

I gathered the information and did the calculations and found the cache was in a place we had visited earlier in the day. So another trip was called for and the cache was found quickly. When I was there previously I wondered why there wasn’t a cache in that location.

Tenkae's Outback Adventure Day 5 - heading west and grabbing a few caches along the way. Stunning view up here. Tftc

Catching up on some logging from trip we took a few years ago.

TFTC

With Fangsoki and Crew153 in the mighty Canyonero, we hit the outback in search of the oldest and finest Queensland has to offer. 6000+ kms in 8 days - an epic journey. Day five and we are here. Having sorted out wp1 online we went straight to finals and made a fairly quick find to get the day started. Turns out wp1 was very busy and parking nearby would have been an issue for us. Always good to start a caching day on a positive.
Thanks Team Beaufort for entertaining me at this location.

When Fangsoki and Pprime (P') mentioned about a road trip to get the old caches in outback Queensland I jumped at the chance to see some of our great country. The 8 day tour covered some 6,000km and a day on a boat in the Whitsundays. I wouldn't have missed the adventure for the world.

Day 5 of our journey found us breaking camp at Terry Smith Lookout and heading into Cloncurry for Breakfast on the run.

It appears that the workmen were out of bed earlier than us as they were all around the first WP but Prime had done some homework before leaving home and we just had to verify our information.

We then headed off to check out the views from here and find the cache. It took a few minutes to locate the cache but the hint helped.

TFTC Team Beaufort

Crew 153, Pprime, and I were out in western Queensland and decided to grab this cache.

Pprime had done homework before we left home - and it was just as well as he had - as there worker muggles all around the waypoint.

But thankfully not at GZ! GZ was devoid of muggles. We searched for about 5 minutes before Pprime found the prize. We signed the log and I dropped in a trackabe that seemed apt for these parts.

A great little multi and a nice look at the town. TFTC Team Beaufort

Great hide, really starting to like the multi s now. Great view from Gz. Tyfc.

Continuing on our trek east grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.
Had to visit it on sunset to find my glasses I dropped.

As we arrived in town today, we set ourselves the challenge of finding most of the caches around Cloncurry, despite the heat. We also wanted to find them as quickly as possible. The new co-ords were easy to work out and on arriving at GZ we found them to be accurate, although taking the hint into account also helped narrow down the search area. Thank you to Team Beaufort for a nice little multi.

After leaving Julia Creek this morning we headed to Cloncurry and after setting up the van we drove out to find a few of the local caches.

We enjoyed this one and were delighted when we arrived at GZ. After a brief search helped immensely by the very precise hint we soon managed to unearth this one. The lid is cracked but all is dry inside at this stage. Geohubby returned the cache upside down in the hope of keeping it that way.

Many thanks for the beaut multi Team Beaufort

Didn't think I'd get that one....but glad I went for it. Kids.....mind the glass.......there's tons of broken glass everywhere. TFTC.

We are booked into a local caravan park as we continue our meandering across northern Australia after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. Pa had some shopping to do but once that was over it was caching time. This was #4 for the day on this wonderful International Caching Day. Found our way to waypoint 1, where I gathered the required information and then calculated the final position of the cache.
An easy find once at GZ so thanks Team Beaufort for showing us two great places of interest in this town. The log was stamped, only then did I realise it had the wrong date on it, and the cache was returned to its hidey hole.

We were planning on catching up with friends who are heading back to Melbourne that we haven't seen for a few years we hung around Cloncurry for the morning waiting for time to arrive and what better way to kill time than to go caching.

We decided to start the day with a multi which we must say we did enjoy. At wpt1 we found the required plaque and gathered the numbers and calculated the gz and made our way there. We did enjoy the location here and probably wouldn't have visited it if it wasn't for this cache.
With good co-ords the cache was fairly quickly found and we happily added our name to the log before we took the time to take a few pictures.
Thanks Team Beaufort for the cache and for showing us this location.

Stood and looked at the old grave sites and walked around a bit, now I'm worried about that old quote re walking over their graves. Anyway did the necessary and went to place I'd been before, yesterday actually, still good though. Fossicked around and Lo and behold there it was just like the hint and description. TFTC

Found in company with Team Red Roo, parked our vehicle at the road closed sign and walked up the hill to the cache. TFTHSL

A quick find under the first rock checked (means the coordinates are very accurate). Team Gypsys accompanied me but we had worked out coordinates separately to make sure we were both on the right track. We parked in the parking area then walked to the cache (250mtrs) to find it quickly. Thanks to Team Beaufort for taking us to two different places of interest with the one cache.

Finally managed to get to this one after the road crew went home for the day. TFTC

Taken a while to get this one, had to wait for the road crew to knock off for the day. TFTC

Enjoying our history tour around Cloncurry and the first cyphering cache for us. Unable to find second part due To Road Closed sign and council works in progress on this road up to GZ

#7235 - 14:10; Day 26 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. After attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs and then heading north to Darwin, we are now headed for home. We reached Queensland yesterday and after overnighting in Mt Isa and collecting a few more around the city this morning, we were now on the road and heading for our next overnight stop in Winton via Mary Kathleen, Cloncurry and McKinlay caching all the way. Most of the caches we located were in good order, including this one as we did our 'Tour de Cloncurry'. TFTC Team Beaufort

13696. Next find of Day 16 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. Heading South East into QLD.

I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.

Next stop for the day. Grabbed the info and headed up to GZ. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Heading back down the track and towards home with fitzy_1965, LuckyL10n and albida and we were heading from Mt Isa towards Barcaldine. Grabbed a good number of caches along the way, with the oddDNF thrown in. A couple of days of fun caching. Most logs were signed ALFS to save space on the logs.....

Thanks to all the caches owners for the caches and the fun in grabbing them.

Got the required information OK and a great spot at GZ. Didn't take long with the hint.

After getting the required information we were soon on our way to the final. Nice spot.

Cheched on the cache. All in good condition

Travelling around Australia and currently visiting outback Queensland.

Moving day today heading from Mt Isa towards Julia Creek. Stopped here in Cloncurry for a lunch break so headed out to grab a few caches whilst here. Lots to see here in Cloncurry we will have to visit again another time.

Enjoyed this multi. Grabbed the info then headed off to see where it took us.

TFTC Team Beaufort

Found this a while ago. Just wrote note instead of a log TFTC

Easy multi; rewarded with a good view. The hint was very useful. TFTC Team Beaufort.

Thought we better get this one off our list. Thanks for the adventure

Picked this one up on a maintence run. Thought it would have been a lot harder then it was. Grabbed the coordinates and was on my way to find the treasure. What an awsome view.

TFTC TNLNSL

We parked on the side of the road near the bridge and GeoAJ quickly grabbed the numbers required to make the final find. A short drive and we were at GZ and completing the task. We'd never have known about this area if it wasn't for your cache placement. Thanks Team Beaufort.

What an afternoon ! We walking a few km's today but we found it! Awesome team effort loved how excited Hugh was

Stoked with this find, took a while but we got there in the end

#8360 Found and Logged at 9:57:00 AM
Traveling north to excape the 2016 winter
A quick multi on my way through to Mount Isa
A great peice of local history
Thanks for the cache Team Beaufort

A new beginning where it used to be. Chinese history.

We did not find it .So you must be the master hider king hider.

Enjoyed this quick little multi and ended up at a place that a relative had taken us to earlier in the day. Always amazed at how hard the Chinese people worked to eke out a living and to help others in this country. Deserve their recognition. TFTC

Gee, there were a lot of Chinese folk buried here. So
good to see that they have been recognised for their
hard labours.
We gathered the necessary numbers and headed off
to the next stage. Really good views in the end.
Found, signed and replaced carefully back in its hidey
spot. We also retrieved the TB to continue on its trip.
Loved the Dam further up the road.

Thanks Team Beaufort

Little Squirell

Found at 12:35:00 PM while seeing the sights in Cloncurry.

Thanks Team Beaufort.

We worked out the question and ended up at this beautiful spot. Unfortunately we couldn't find the cache. Lots of muggles too. TFTC

Easy to work out the coordinates there is was a steady muggle traffic. Finally it eased and I could stop pretending that i was looking at something else.
Thanks for the cache
