We have come to Wivenhoe Dam for a few days & to find a couple of caches to fill some of our DT grid.
After a morning on the dam we then went further afield towards Atkinson Dam & the The Cat-A-Lyst series. Overall agreat day of caching.
Nice views from this location. We used a stick to retrieve the cache so as to avoid the spikes.
Thanks for placing this cache i am pegasus

This was one that I promised myself I'd come back to as I didn't find it the first time. However I noticed the Geo's after me had no luck also - I guess it had suffered from a bit of Geo-creep on my first visit!
Anyway it's definitely at GZ now - TFTC another great view!
 
22-Aug-15
Our only find after am unsuccessful few hours of caching. Did refer to the hint though. Oh well, it's a win!

Out today with our RSL Bus Trip through the Lowood/Minden area and had this one one the radar as one we could grab while here with the Coach crowd. Nice easy find while the others were busy having a cuppa for morning tea. Found at 9.45 am on 19th August 2015. TFTC.

Last day of the school holidays so we decided to 'go for a drive'! We love these kind of days where we discover new and different places, or stop where we've never bothered to stop before!

Who would have found this great park up here with fabulous views all around if it weren't for caching?!? The tank and the paintings were great, but the cache had us searching for a while under the wrong bush! Once we corrected our mistake it was an easy find!
Thanks for another cache today i am pegasus Smile
 
13-Jul-15

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking year through the world. Most of the time I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier. 

After a three and a half week roadtrip from Margaret River to Brisbane it's time to find some work again.

Nice views from up here! The box was a quick and easy find.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Was over here for the Qld Mega event - found many, many caches whilst here, but the geogods weren't smiling on us - the weather spoiled it a bit, with only the one day not marred by the rain. But we still found most of the caches we searched for, catching up with old friends and making new ones whilst out on the trail. Time to head back to Brisbane now though - flying back to Perth tonight. Did some last minute caching around Lowood while The Better Half of the Chwiliwr team visited old friends. Found this one without any trouble. Great views from up there. Thanks i am pegasus

Another great find while in the area today. SL TFTC
 
18-Feb-15
Was in the area working at the local water treatment plant when my muggle workmate asked if there were any of those treasure boxes nearby. Luckily I happened to have the GPS with me and saw there was one just 250m down the road from where we were working. With a quick and easy find, our name was soon added to the log. Thank you for having placed the cache I am Pegasus.

Hmmm... Do your parents know what you're doing?

A couple of teenage lovebirds looking out at the spectacular view as we walked up. They were trying hard to ignore us and wish Us away. We started a conversation about the views.

Then I braved the pretty pink bush and dived in for the cache! No scratches!

Nurseyjulie blocked the 'view' while I scrawled her name and put in a sticker and replaced the cache...

A loud discussion about having had enough of the view and need to go for lunch Wink

On we rolled...

TFTC Guddink!
 
16-Mar-13
On a Saturday arvo, beautiful day and would you believe it, a couple of teenagers at GZ on another bench nearby. Luckily they were not taking any notice of us talking about the bush and view. I sat on the bench whilst MsMaddy went for the retrieval. Log signed. Placed back and we voiced up, time for lunch and duly left the love birds behind. TFTC
 
10-Mar-13
