Due to it been muggled

Here from Canada, doing a bit of caching as we explore Australia....

Out for some caching fun in the rain with Team Robins as they did routine maintenance.

Thanks for the fun Team Robins!

Filing up the TB Motel

Swung by this one today with Gaz'n'Kab to drop a few trackables. There were none inside when we found it. A couple of these I've carried for a while and I think this seems a fitting spot for them to end up.

Found as part of our post new year trip north from Newcastle to Warwick. Another quick find on our tour of the area. We grabbed this one on our way back home. Thanks for the Cache.

On a HUGE day out caching in Stanthorpe. A quick find. TNLN, TFTC.

Our 33rd Wedding Anniversary Camping and Caching run…
A quick stop, our intent when planning this run was to drop and swap all the travellers we picked up along the way. Since we picked up one total and that was in the previous cache we simply logged this one and moved on.
Took nothing but memories and left nothing but our tag and footprints.

Hide, log and container are in good nick.
Thanks for the cache 2 shadows.

Dropping off TB

9416 kms travelled in 21 days, one awesome eclipse observed near Mt Carbine in Northern Queensland and 712 cache finds, including a small handle of FTF's.

This was a trip I'd been planning for over 12 months with the main reason being to observe the solar eclipse on the morning of the 14th of November. I had decided to drive to Palm Cove and back, where my penthouse accommodation was located, while the rest of the family flew up and back. I love the drive and the unknown adventures that lay ahead; and I even think the last time I did one this big may have been for the previous eclipse in Australia which occurred over SA.

Apart from the great experiences, awesome scenery, and the characters met, the other reason to drive was to also do some serious caching, with the plan to stop at some power trails along the way including the Fruit Run and A.S. series near Stanthorpe on the way up and the Mid North Coast Wander series, just out of Port Macquarie, on the way back.

I had five days to travel each way with ten days in between spent in Palm Cove holidaying with my family. My route up took me from Melbourne to Tocumwal and up to Glenn Innes, through Toowoomba, Rockhampton and the coast road to Cairns while my route back was a bit more erratic. Heading from Cairns to Townsville then via Charters Towers to Rockhampton. From here it was through the amazing mining region to Roma then across to Dalby down through Stanthorpe (again) to Armidale, Port Macquarie, Wagga Wagga, Tocumwal and then home - phew.

Once in Stanthorpe I continued caching for a while longer before checking into a local hotel, having some dinner at the adjoining Steak House Restaurant (which was fantastic) then heading back out to tackle the 110 caches in A.S. series, which I did manage to complete (until more where added a couple of days later). Thanks Team Robins for the great time around here and I really enjoyed meeting up with you and having some of your fantastic home made ginger beer. Picked up and dropped off some TB's here too.

Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo.

A solid day driving between Guyra where we camped in the Highest Caravan Park In Australia and Robins Nest in Stanthorpe - where the monkeys play soprano in July. Thanks for the fun!!

Thanks to Team Robins and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Cache found in the last place we looked. I left my swaps in the Pahero and I did not have anything of equal value in my pockets. Thanks for the cache guys. We love your work.

Dropped some TB while on the way to Cairns

Quick find this morning. Left 4 TB's, took 3. Thanks Team Robins

Dropping off Slug.

Nice easy little cache. Dropped a TB and picked up a TB. SL TFTC

We found this cache with only three Trackable in it. We took one and left one. Cheers.

Had no tavel bugs so we signed the log and kept going to have a coffee. TNLN TFTC Team Robins

Easy find, There is only three tb's in this cache, thought there may have been more, TFTC Team Robins

#3195 We parked further away than we needed to be from GZ, meaning that we had a bit of a walk to GZ. A nice large container greeted us, ideal for all the GC's and TB's. We took a Travel Slug and left a TB in its stead. Our thanks to Team Robins, with no fear of it being muggled it is an ideal TB exchange

So many trackables in one place, such fun to select one ... and then I get one that wants to go north and we're heading south! Just an excuse to head north again. TFTC Team Robins

Find # 3836, and another 60 for the day.
Found on the way to do the A.S. series. Another nice safe hide and quick find.

Thanks for the cache.

Gotcha, Quick and easy find, Thanks for the hunt.

On our stay at the nearby Honeysuckle lodges, we made our way over to this cache. We soon found gz, and a quick sign and off. tftc Team Robbins

Love the idea of this cache. Dropped off trackables kiwi bob and a patch. Took geocoins CITO and NT

Last cache for the day... Dropped of a TB that we found earlier.. And grabbed a GC... Was found accidentally as I crouched down so not to be seen by a passing car...

The inventory lists 9 travellers here but we only found 3 travel bugs which we exchanged for 3 geo-coins. TFTC.

This good sized cache was found quite quickly due to the accurate coordinates. We left two TBs and took two. TFTC Team Robins.

Nice Cache. Took Salve left Gail. TFTC

Called in to swap TB's.
Took 'Alfred'
Left 'Eddie bücherwurm'
There is currently three TB's in the cache.

1 of 60 finds for the day caching around Stahthorpe
Found and logged at 7:35
Took and left TB's
Thanks Team Robins

Forgot to mention that I left Alfred here to play with other trackables.
This is the best stocked TB motel I've ever seen so will give it a favourite.

Had to think about the hint for a minute or two. Couldn't see any grapevines. Then it hit me, the hint i mean, not the solid things referred to. Well I had a lot of fun here. Tried to pose all the trackables in one place for a photo shoot but one or other of them kept falling off just as i'd have the shot lined up. They seem to be getting along all right in there, and I even found one of my own trackables "Kitchy" which I sent out not all that long ago. She was very happy to see me .

Great Cache, found it with first timers Kylie and Mytchele, TFTC [8)]

A quick find in the afternoon before heading back to the hospitality at the Team Robins abode. We found the cache easily and signed the log to be on our way. Thanks for the cache Team Robins

Team Robins this is a very interesting idea. I was looking on the map of Stanthorpe for TB Motel, no wonder I couldn't find it.
The motel was very busy.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:48pm. The cache was found quite quickly. In: TB. Out: TBs. The cache is in good condition. TFTC

Travelling up north on a very wet day we were able to grab a few caches along the way.

It was great to see an ammo can. Didnt swap any TB's.
Thanks

Diane was able to find cheap airfares to the gold coast on a weekend that all three members of Team Crackers could organise time off. After the booking was confirmed we realised it was the start of schoolies so we decided on a Southern Queensland / Northern New South Wales inland assault instead. We pulled up and as the cache page says it was a nice easy find but was well hidden. This was a good thing as we had a reasonable size TB that we wanted to keep moving. As there were a few other TBs residing in the hotel we adjourned to the air conditioned car while discovering them after which we went back to return the cache to find quite a large lizard had taken up residence sun baking on one of the rocks that we had shifted. Thankfully it scurried away as we approached.
Discovered TBs , Left a TB
Thanks Team Robins again.

A nice quick find, taken 1 TB to move to Sydney, thanks, TFTC / TFTH / SL

Found at 1510. Number fifty for the day Quick find. On my quest to complete the trail in 4 hours. Also to beat my best number of finds in a day of 37. I did achieve this by finding 70 between 0600 and 2300hours. Came prepared with my cache log removal tool in my pocket as I was expecting many nano size containers and I was not disappointed. Doing the trail and the other hides on this route as well. TN left trackables. Thanks for the cache Team Robins.

Found whilst enjoying a birthday caching weekend with The Marble, La Kedi and dizzyanne. There were a good number of TB residents so I took three to help them on towards their goals. TFTC
