Gunalda Pass Kanigan, Queensland, Australia
By sweet - sour on 22-Nov-11. Waypoint GC38548

This morning Granny and I had a plan to continue with seeking out caches with the off-road attribute for our monthly challenge. It turned out to be a fun day and with lots of various caches in lots of places. We got in a few extras while we were passing as well and even found a couple of ftfs along the way. We got to have a morning tea/ breakfast at an event and met some great cachers. There is some really pretty countryside around this area. We signed the logs and replaced the caches as we found them. Thanks for the caches and the hides. If you are seeing this please check out, GCARTY0, see what is planned for October 2025. There is an importance in placing will attends to events. Thanks for supporting geocaching in Australia. ITS A PARTY EVENT!

TFTC smile 20972 Out and about on a Rainy day grabbing a cache to try and keep a challenge going signed as GS1947 on small logs On a trip to Maryborough to fine a few caches It's Party time at GCARTY0 - 05 October 2025 Sunshine Coast come and join us for a great time Thank you sweet - sour for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Thankyou!

We had the opportunity to spend some time exploring the region and were lucky to have perfect winter weather for it. We visited some wonderful sites, enjoyed some spectacular views and discovered some interesting history along the way. After heading up to the top of the road, we understood why all the residents bins were here instead. A nice speedy find.Thanks Princess1005

After a Admiring the view from up repeater Station Road we made our way back here only needing to push aside some foliage to reveal the cache . TFTC

Found on the ground. Placed back. Quick find. Thanks.

Princess1005 I found your cache Gunalda Pass on 22/4/2024, 2:50PM. This is my find 6589 and find # 14 today. Found after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Hi there Princess1005, we found your cache Gunalda Pass today. Were camping at Gootchie Creek for a few days with a caravanning group from RV Homebase, and have taken the opportunity to duck out and find a few caches while we are here. The container needed a small spot of maintenance, so we replaced the container and the logbook, returning the cache to its form glory. Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache near where our GPS said we should be looking. Cache Condition: Good. Regards Ian & Penny (Found and logged using Cachly).

Gunalda Pass was transferred from Sweet-Sour to user Princess1005

Tftc sweet-sour, nice easy one even tho the vines have to be cleared to get to the spot.

Road trip from Maryborough southbound today, picking off roadside caches to break up the drive, a great view up here, had to wrangle to vines to get to this cache.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. I’ll leave the more interesting detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird or Angry Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC Sweet-Sour

Cache all good here

Thanks for the trip down memory lane along this particular section of the old highway. The view here is always good and today was a lovely day to be in the great outdoors. SL. TFTC

Day 2 of my Fraser Coast and Sunshine Coast trip with my son. It’s our New Year traditions. First three we camp at Kilkivan, this time we stayed in Maryborough to spread our boundaries.

Today’s catching was around Gympie and Widgee.
We cache from Maryborough to Widgee for the event. Then we cache back to Maryborough.
We had lots of fun today. With early start and late finish.
My haul today was 30 finds, the breakdown is 21 traditional, 3 mystery, event and adventure lab with 5 waypoints. Plus 5 FTF.
One of the mystery was a challenge cache I signed about 18 months ago. That was painful to do.

Sweet-Sour *TFTC* 6276 *Finds*

Well, finally the weather has decided it will allow us a few days of dry camping (not totally dry, there WILL be a few lagers involved! ).
Our target area is Gympie and a few rural spots northwest.

The hint 'magnetic' no longer applies but MAY still lead you to the spot.
Really good views from uo here & a very pleasant morning weathwise.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Returning North to continue this planned roadtrip which was COVID cancelled midway through Day 1 last Easter due to a snap lockdown in SEQ.

First cache of the day, beautiful views if the rising sun with the moon still visible

Thanks sweet - sour for giving us a reason to visit.

Heading north today I made the detour to GZ where the cache was found with a beautiful view! All good with this one log signed and replaced as found. Thanks sweet - sour.

One of my daughters who lives in Hervey Bay was getting an award today at school, so I made the trip from Beaudesert to Hervey Bay and back again in a day. Thankfully there's still a couple of caches between there that I hadn't gotten yet to break the long drive up.

895 kilometres in one day is a lot of driving! This was cache 31 of 33

It's not often you get an unloved cache as a T1 D1. Mustn't be much geocaching traffic up this way. I had been here once before but the cache was missing so was very happy to tick this one off the list and get some unloved credits for the unloved challenge.

All in good condition and some cracking views (only to be outdone by the next one)

Thanks for the cache **sweet - sour**

On checking this one, found missing, replaced container and logbook, replaced in the same hide.
Have fun, cheers.

We also looked all over with no sign of this one. Loved the views though!

No joy. Searched high and low, moved all scrub from around the guard and checked the white roadside pole. May have missed it or it could be MIA..

While staying in Gympie for a few days with my Geodog Scruffy, we had to get out and find some caches in the area.

All Good .. TFTC ..

On my way back from Brisbane and thought I’d stop for a cache or 2. TFTC.

Hooray thanks for share DeafVW

Boy, those overgrown grasses can be a pest! But we got you

Found without problems. Many thanks Sweet-Sour for placing a cache here for us to find. The cache was sitting exposed a couple of meters from we suspect it is supposed to be. We moved it to a better spot 2m away.

Beautiful view, coordinates are off but easy to find

Quick find for the morning

Quick find. I tried to evict as many ants as possible from the container. TFTC

Beaut view...tks S n S for bringing us here...

Log not good but it's there

With a meeting in Gympie today, I left home early so I could drive a bit further North to grab a couple of caches before the brain draining began. I was tilted with coffee and hungry to make some finds.

I remember the first time I drove to Rockhampton and this section of the highway was still active. I think I got stuck behind a truck or caravan and said to myself what a busted bit of road. Today I was back to relive that old nightmare.

As I started up the hill, I saw a big sign that said "Road Ends" and wondered how far I would get before having to do an impossible 3-point turn in the middle of nowhere. Whoever put that sign up is clearly an idiot, because that is something I would do. The road doesn't end, it's just a cruddy old road, starting to become overgrown. If you could smoke lantana then this place would be an awesome spot to hang out.

A great spot for a cache and a great view. tftc

One more beautiful but hot day during my vacation in Australia . This morning I spotted a cockatoo on my balcony and some kangaroos in the forest , afterwards I searched for some caches and went to the beach . Life can be hard :-p

This cache I found quite fast Thanks a lot for the cache and all the best from Switzerland

TFTC choller

I am sure I have been up this hill before. I am certain I have been up this hill before. I have a picture of an eagle taken from near here.

Still quite a few cars using the old road. A nice quick find here. The ants are making this one home though.

A quick cache find,
with a great view to boot,
once I worked out how to get off the busy highway and backtrack to GZ

TFTC in an interesting place [^]

Found this, has great views so left a suitable TB behind!

Left the geowife here to find this one while I went in search of the Warrior. Came back and she already had the log signed and returned to its hide. Great views from here. TFTC Sweet-Sour

Found this on the ground in plain view, not quite where it was supposed to be, put it back out of sight.

Travelling with my Geoson "BadAssLongCoat" this morning and after finding a fairly terrain difficult cache we found this one very easily. As my son said, it was just laying on the ground so we both spotted it at the same time. After signing the log he put the cache back where we thought it should have been and moved onto the next one.

Travelling around Australia and currently housesitting in Curra, Queensland.

Today is Mr FelixII's birthday and a plan was hatched to have lunch at the Theebine Hotel. But of course what's a birthday without a cache or 2.

A day of walking in wet grass and slippery tracks after the overnight rain, exploring a new area to us. Just what we love about Geocaching.

A short stop and your cache was found, log signed and we were on our way.

Picked up the TB to keep moving along.

TFTC sweet - sour

I drive fairly regularly between Brisbane and Bundaberg, but almost every time I drive it with no time to spare for a casual, or more involved "stop on the side of the road". Accordingly, these caches on the Gunalda Pass have taunted me for a long long time.

Today though I was on my own, and had a little time to spare. Knowing that, my plan was to hit the road. Next stop was here. Took in the pretty good views - and noted a stack of caravans on the highway that might be in my near future. Oh well, a few more stops up here first so may not be an issue.

Thanks for placing this cache, sweet - sour. Found in good condition.

Got the ole travel itch again this morning. So set off early to discover and find some caches heading North through Gymoie, Biggenden. Gayndah and Einsvold hopefully with some success. But due to a problem with the Geo Truck (Loss of brake lights) Required a quick detour to my local repair shop soon had the problem rectified ans was on my way again Nice cache but unfortunatly the log is saturated

Thanks for the great cache and adventure Sweet-Sour

This Day in Music
1965, The Byrds were forced to cancel a concert during their UK tour at The Guildhall, Portsmouth when only 250 of the 4,000 tickets had been sold.

went looking for a couple of caches at the pass. Did not realize until we were coming back to our parking spot that we discovered that we were right there. TFTC

Caravaning direction North. Catching warmer temperatures, and couple of smilies. Tftc

Found it with bikesu

after the struggle of WARRIOR 5 this was an easy find. The road is open all the way through.

All repaired
Happy hunting
Sweet-Sour

Container and new logbook replaced today.
Happy caching

See log below, cache is gone at the moment because it was totally destroyed.

It would appear that this one has been trashed

We stumbled into this cache without even knowing about it as we were enjoying the view and trying to figure out the best way to "Bruce the bat". Unfortunately we found the cache was totally destroyed and pieces of the cache were lying around everywhere. The box was smashed, the logbook unreadable and just one small trade item (the one with googly eyes) seemed to be still intact. To avoid geo-trash we took the remnants of the cache with us. Hopefully the owner will put a new box here, you really get a nice view from this spot!

Update: we took a photo of the box, but my Android doesn't want me to upload it. I will do so as soon as I can access another computer.

Randomly found it, what a great view from here, awesome! Unfortunately it's destroyed. Hopefully there will a new cachebox follow, it is really a great view.

6th kody railing

forgot log that as I was geocaching with Dranyer TFTC

easy found TFTC

Found at 10.40 hrs. Headed off on a day of geocaching around the Gunalda Area. I have seen many caches popup at different times and it looks like a nice area to explore. With smoko and lunch packed we were off. This was our seventh for the day.

Quick grab for this one. Thanks Sweet-Sour for all the great caches you have put out there.

Great little hide on the cache up day. TFTC!

Great hide

Co decided to do a check on this one as I was tagging along got to love cache creep as it was not where th co expected it to be.

Down the hill after the view we rounded the corner for this little detour before getting back on the highway.
Very hot at this time of the day - not the best for searching a metal guardrail - ouch!
Found it a little away from gz right where we parked.
Took peridot pendant, left spider.

On road trip to Bundaberg with Team Biffo and stopping for some caches on the way. Great views from this location. TFTC Sweet-Sour.

Great views pitty about the rotten bones.TFTC

we found it, purplecazza and I, it was a bit smelly the GZ as there was a bag of decaying bones in the area, so the GC had been moved a couple of mtrs up from the original area, pretty much still in the same place but just not right on top of the stench. great views, logged and left items.TFTC.

Nice easy find today.

Off on another Fun Geo Bush Adventure with my Geo Buddy, MinkosDes, along the Bruce highway today.

Thanks for bringing us here to this lovely look out Sweet-Sour.

We could see the storm clouds heading our way so we quickly signed the log and headed up the mountain to the next cache where it bucketed down on us.

Left some Trinkets.

Fairy Mother and I were out on another of our Geo:adventures of Fairy Mothers territory, the bush, when we came across this cache.

All that one can say for this cache is... AMAZING VIEWS that go forever!

Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour. Cache is in good order.

Fantastic views you can enjoy by yourself with no one to annoy you.
Nice quick grab.

Thanks for the cache

Quick find!!! Nice view!

It was great to show the Geofamily the old 'goat track' that was used to cross the Gunalda Range back in my early years of trucking. It's definitely an overgrown track now but the views are magnificent from GZ. TFTC sweet_sour and for bringing back some old memories

Found at 11:11 AM GAFF1. A great view across the valley, but more importantly this is where we probably should have started the track to "Warrior No. 5"
Thanks Sweet-Sour.

A short detour from the wrong end but as the gate was open I continued to the top along a section of road that brought back old memories. it's a bit overgrown in places but still passable. Cache was quickly found and I enjoyed the views after signing the log and returning the cache to its hiding spot.

TFTC Sweet-Sour

T-Tech and I are up at sweet - sour's place for the day, and we headed out early to grab a couple of caches in the area. Can't imagine when this bit of road was the main highway The cache was a quick find and is in good order. TFTC, sweet - sour.

Up and off early with IolantheK to grab a cache or two in the area.
Nice easy find [^]. Seems that the Bruce Hwy has lots of little "bitumen billabongs"
The cache is dry and in good condition

Found, while caching in the area.
A great hide.
Thanks for the cache, sweet - sour.

Hard to believe the used to be the Bruce Hwy. I can remember it being so. Easy find.

Cheers

After a visit to the top of the hill we parked at a spot where I had parked a few times many years ago to check out the views.

A quick step out of the car and I had the cache in hand.

We have always enjoyed the views from here and I decided to leave the others in the car and head towards the other cache near here.
