Nice easy find, but definitely worth the walk rather than try to pull over. There is a great looking fence post further up the road, closer to the campsite that looks to have been patented in England.

Old school fence post nearby

Blkthunder and I are venturing up the range for Floral Festival…. Mmmm that’s not right… Parade of Pansies… no that’s something else… Carnival of Flowers… That’s it… or at least part of it…

After collecting a target cache further up the road, we decided to collect the other two on the way back out…

Another quick find thanks to spot on coordinates… I replaced the snap lock bag with one that actually works… tftc…

Logging the caches around Murphy’s Creek before my first ever attempt at archery AND it went well Blistering hot day and no water in the creek. It’s a dust bowl out there But swim in a Billabong and dinner at the tavern with friends rounded out the day

Only tunnel I spotted so took a pic!

Mrs Wallaby had the afternoon off work, so what else is there to do? go geocaching ofcourse!!

We loaded up in Grover the Geo-Jimny and headed down the hill from Toowoomba nabbing a few geocaches here and there, exploring our local surroundings and having a few laughs, ofcourse we found this cache so enjoy our log... Jokes on you Smile

F(H)ound it! #2853 @ 9:10 AM

We are on a roadtrip from Queanbeyan to Mackay with the two geohounds. Today's goal is Hervey Bay.
The trains make a sad howling noise that echoes mournfully in the evening as they round the bends on this track.

Thanks for the cache nannamar

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us. Wink

Currently staying at Laidley today we decided to head out for a drive in the surrounding area. Got a little sidetracked and strayed further than we had loaded into the GPSr. Luckily we had GSAK with us and were able to grab coords for caches offline. Phew. Razz

Spotted the tunnel firsts & then the cache. Glad there's been a break in the weather so we could pick up these caches! Thought Muphey's Law would mean we'd get rained out, but turns out we had luck on our side. Great old tunnels! Tftc nannamar xo

No need to get double vision searching for this cache anymore. Having searched the area a few times, including in depth today, I contacted a previous finder and confirmed the cache's location and that it has gone. I have replaced this cache at the published coordinates (once the GPS finally settles!). It is now a camouflaged eclipse tin with log inside. BYO writing tool. Also, it's more of a T1.5 not a T1, as a wheelchair could not easily access it. Hint: Tunnels really rock. Smile
 
09-Jul-17
This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I spent ages trying to locate this cache today using both the coordinates and information from previous logs, to no avail. Can the CO check it out please.
 
21-Jun-17
As there appears to have been 'non-caching' activity in the area & the cache hasn't been found since being 'relocated' in Dec 2016 then perhaps a CO visit is needed?
 
20-Jun-17
No luck here today. Sad
With two DNFs & no finds since the cache was 'repositioned' (?) on 07/12/2016 perhaps a CO visit would be beneficial?

TFTC nannamar Smile

No luck here. The road has been recently graded, There is a tree down near GZ, but the D/T rating was probably my stumbling block. With the others along this road similarly rated I possibly was not looking in the right place.
