Nothing to be found! Sad face!!

No luck with this one even though we had long arms.

I looked in the obvious spot ... but nothing there. Did a bit of a search around, in case I was wrongly assuming a hiding spot ... but didn't see anything except a ziplock bag caught up in a the vegetation nearby.

Pretty sure we knew where it should be, but it wasn’t there. Checked on the ground too but couldn’t find anything.

Thanks anyway

Nothing there but rubbish

Easy find out and about with Bluecare client

We are staying in Applethorpe for a few nights to look for a few of the many caches in the area we still have not found.
Finally the rain has stopped. Grass still wet but that isn't stopping us

Placed a new log sheet and zip lock bag old one too wet.

This one seemed to be in the right place. An easy find . Was just able to sign the wet log. TFTC

Genius

I'm leaving the new Mrs Mister JD at home while I go to care for my aged Mum in Brisbane for a couple of weeks while my brother visits his grandkids in Sydney. I'm looking forward to seeing
mum but sad to be leaving my wife at home. I'm taking four days for the trip because
I want to find caches, and long trips are way in my past due to my crook back. Caching is ideal as I can stop and start practically as I like. Today's leg is home to Dubbo. I got off to a late start, and found the traffic out of Canberra was horrendous, so I took a back road just out of town, and finished up doing part of a power trail before I got to Yass. I really enjoyed that road, but took too long and found only a few more on the rest of the day. I did stop quite a few times for my back and to give Sophie GeoSchnauzer a bit of a run. Sophie is a bit sad, we have just lost her lifetime companion, Oscar GeoSchnauzer at the ripe old age of fifteen and a half.

This is day 2 of my journey, driving from Dubbo to Tamworth via less traveled ways. We started in Dubbo, collecting caches, fuel and supplies, then headed to Dunedoo, then on to Coolah, Breeza and Carroll. finding caches and a couple of delightful power trails along the way.

Today is day 3 of my trip. Starting in Tamworth, I'm doing some trails and interesting caches around Tamworth, then heading for Stanthorpe. My old Dad used to tell me I wouldn't know what day it was. I never believed him, but now there is evidence. Today, on the 18th April, I signed all my logs with 17th of April. Oh well, he will be having a good chuckle from his perch in heaven ...

Last day of my trip. It's getting wearing. My back and tailbone are sore from driving, with only geocaching providing relief. Hopping in and out of the car really helps relieve the pain and stiffness. I'll start slowly, and work up to it. I anticipate lots of holdups due to flood repairs today. Well, here we go.

And another

Find no 8 of 19 today. Thanks, Team Robins

Easy find.

Road works here today and it was a bit tricky to keep out of sight from the muggles. TFTC

Out geocaching today with Magpie Cottage and Wandering Me. Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment Team Robins

My turn this time

I found this geocache on a mystical journey from South Australia, through Victoria, New South Wales and back again.
I did log all of the caches on my handheld GPS however some of the logs did not sychronise properly so I apologise for the generic log on these caches, which are the ones that didn't log proprly from my GPS.
I had a fantastic journey and thank you for placing and maintaining your geocache or earthcache for visitors like me.

Glad I am long limbed

Recently deciding to tackle the Apple art, a group of us got our heads together to solve all of the puzzles then visit the area to collect the wonderful caches between Warwick and Stanthorpe.
Our group of CHAMAD, NayFee, Triple Turmoil and myself had a fantastic weekend finding heaps of caches, we signed the logs Team TWOCAN.
Thank you to all of the COs who have spent time placing and maintaining these caches for us to enjoy, sincerely appreciated.
Thanks Team Robins for bringing us here.

I have just had the best weekend caching around the Warwick, Summit and Stanthorpe areas. With caching buddies (geonayfee, Willis007 and Triple Turmoil) for the weekend we got in a very large number of caches, completing the apple geoart, the fruit run and a few other special caches along the way. I had a fantastic weekend with lots of laughs and funny events it just made for a fun time; the puzzle solving in the lead up to the weekend was great also.

A big thanks to all the CO’s of the caches along the way; for placing and maintaining the caches for us to enjoy. Visiting this area and seeing places I would never see in a normal trip here was enlightening, so again thanks.

In the weekend I got around 180 caches so firstly apologies for the generic part to the log, I do not remember all specifically but some did stand out so I will add a little to those in my posts.

Day two and it was an early start, there is so much still to get in the area. A fun and eventful day in many ways, lol. As we started to work our way back home it was a matter of zigzagging and back tracking the caches to Warwick. The fruit run series we were setting our sites on to complete, most were easy finds, with just a couple we did not find, then there was the a few others as we passed by, thanks.

Day two on our epic journey around Stanthorpe and surrounds with Chamad, TripleTurmoil and Willis007.

After some much needed rest we woke up bright and early (Thanks Chamad for the farmyard sounds) and set off for another full day of caching around Stanthorpe to clear up the rest of the Stanthorpe Apple and a few other caches in between, then we slowly made our way back north towards Warwick while grabbing a bunch of caches we didn't get yesterday.

Same as yesterday we had a wonderful time exploring the area. I really enjoy visiting this part of the world, it's a great feeling to get out of the city and enjoy the country life.

Thank you to each and every CO for placing caches at these locations. We had a great time.

Signed as Twocans

After meeting Willis007 and Chamad at a previous event over New Years, they invited me to join them on an epic geoart mission at Stanthorpe. After weeks of puzzling and planning, today was day 2 (together with Nayfee). We covered a lot of mileage, had a lot of laughs and learnt a lot along the way.

Between Stanthorpe and Warwick (on our way back to Brisbane) there are a LOT of caches to sign and we did a pretty good job of getting every single one we could - signed as Twocan to save 25 seconds of signing at each cache, as we had work to do!

Glad I had an esky in the car to stand on for a quick grab.

I was just tall enough! TFTC

This was the key find.

I AM GUR

Day 3 of our Granite Belt Grabathon saw us heading North back to the GC. At least today is not wet! The temperature may reach 13 degrees today but the wind is stronger so probably still an apparent temperature of around 6 degrees. No one ever said the Geocaching was meant to be easy!

TFTC Team Robins

My god that wind is cold. Out early this morning to collect a few more of the local regions caches in offer. The cache was found quickly and in good condition

Thanks to the co for the cache

TFTC! Had to give a boost up.

Needed the hint to get there, despite looking at that spot already. Nice one

I had a quick trip to Dalveen today, so grabbed a cache or two while I was in town. This one was really close by so I walked down and grabbed it after searching around for a little while. Everything is in good condition. I'll need to come back out this way and do some more of the Fruit Run one day soon! Thanks Team Robins!

We were camping near this area.

This was a quick and easy find.

Quick and easy find.

Out for a day's caching from Stanthorpe to Dalveen and beyond, most were easy finds while a couple took a bit of searching to find

TFTC

Go go gadgets arm and I could reach it. TFTC

Nicely hidden. Shorty me needed a tot to reach and replace TFTC

TFTC. Log to follow

On my way to the gong mega with my Dad Brislions. And I finally have premium to log these caches. TFTC

Cache my way down to Wollongong for the Mega with my son. So far we have had a very good day TFTC Team Robin. #1278

Good to have some one tall with you

Our last here at Stanthorpe befotre heading down to Queanbeyan for the 2019 Mega. It has been great, but with mixed success. Didn't achieve as much of the Stan's Apple puzzle series smileys as we would have hoped but we will pass this way again and will pickup and redo those ones that we missed. Cache still dry and OK.

Sorry for the generic logs but there are so many caches in this area and there are only so many things you can write. We have loved caching our way here and around the area. We are only here for a day or two so not sure how many will will get done, but we will do our best. Thank you to each and every CO for the effort that has been needed to place and maintain the caches that we were fortunate enough to make it to. Thanks.

Nice... lucky one of us is tall!

Found!

Bit of a challenge but some local timber came in handy. TFTC Team Robins

Today is the last big day of caching in the Stanthorpe area as I will have finished collecting the new souvenirs. Many thanks to Pa for putting up with my crazy addiction to caching, and souvenirs, and for chauffeuring me around for hundreds of kms. Maybe our holiday will start now.
Decided to travel north on the back roads as neither of us fancy pulling up on the highway. We found most of those we tried for with only 2 DNFs and 28 smilies. Most caches were in good condition, in fact a few had lovely new logs! I had never been to this area before so seeing the Rabbit Proof fence here was a highlight.
Thanks to all the COs and Maintenance teams for the caches along the way. All logs were either signed Smittengranny or SG depending on my mood, the time taken to retrieve the cache and the space available for signing.

Out on a day caching in the area, and this is one I chose to do ... TNLN ... TFTC

Our OC has long arms so he did the honours here. Tftc Team Robins xo

Beat geo hubby again. I think you guys might be my favourite hiders. Tftc team robins

TFTC! Long arms or a stick did the trick for me being short!

We are still flying blind so thanks for sticking to a theme. Kutgw

Sometimes it's just about the numbers and this run was for that and if course the planetary souvenirs. I truly admire those that have done 100 or more, we were exhausted after just over 50 but that gets us half way there. We still enjoyed the driving and looking on the back roads and thank you for your effort in putting them there for us to do this run. TFTC

Team work to get this one
Thanks for the cache Team Robins
We are staying overnight in Stanthorpe and decided this was a good day to do the fruit run series and any others that may cross our path
Thanks for showing us a bit of Stanthorpe and the surrounds

Quick one thanks

Tftc,

Heading for the border today on ou trip to Bright. Wonder how many we can grab without endangering our lives and that of the caravan. Hit the fruit run trail. Interesting to drive here as it is the old highway that I have traveled many time before geocaching days.

Gogo gadget helped with this one. Thanks team robins

Just made it in the arms department.

Found with kcsfinch. TFTC

Found it

I set out bright and early this morning for a day of caching, but not before I'd kidnapped a geo-guru on my way through Toowoomba, to be my chauffeur, and to find a few he had yet to get further south. It was a big day and a good day. Found this one and signed the log, thanks for the cache!

Continuing the Northern trek. Today was Stanthorpe to Toowoomba and it was perfect weather for caching today. TFTC.

All good to go

TfTC Tor and Betsy geocaching westies are now touring australia.

Tftc lucky we had someone who had longer arms than me! Log no good needs changing.

Easy one. TFTG

We have come to Stanthorpe for the weekend in the hope for a ‘big numbers’ weekend. Now we use term ‘big numbers’ lightly as we are 4ando and things seem to slow us down:

1. ‘Oh look there’s somewhere we can stop for lunch’ – there goes a couple of hours.
2. Once it hits a certain time it is classified as beer o’clock – there goes the whole afternoon.
3. 2 whinging teenagers in tow – there goes most of the day.

But anyway we can jump hurdles let’s see how we do. Not off to a good start, the first stop was not a cache but Sutton’s for the best ever apple and blackberry pies!!!!

Since we are in apple county let’s start with the fruit run, this was our first find in Stanthorpe.

Quick easy find

With a milestone coming up, I decided to go roadtrippin' down to the Granite Belt and Tenterfield to pick up a swag of smilies I missed while visiting for the Mega last year. Left Brisbane at 0330 and after 15 hrs on the road driving 650kms, managed to find precisely 100 caches .

A quick grab was made here while powering along the Fruit Run.

This cache is in good condition, thanks **Team Robins** for showing us this spot. Discover our code TGQNRV, and mention where you saw it.

Great coords made for a quick find. We found this cache on the ground so we've replaced it at higher location.
