Permanent disabled…This particular cache has been destroyed twice by road maintenance equipment.
Cache has been destroyed …again, by road maintenance or railway equipment clearing tracks.
Found in the open. Container is nearly non existent. Log book needs replacing too.
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.
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…

Camping with teamnanabombana this weekend. We made sure to stop and create a smiley for all the caches on this road.
Thanks for the cache nannamar

Came back for another quick look as it was bugging me, it had be between a rock and hard place.
Took a bit of looking to find the cache- Mr STW found it eventually. The tunnel was interesting- that took a bit of looking too!
Thank you for showing us another interesting bit of Australian history.

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!

Out for some caching fun with Mr CuriousQuest. We had headed west, now going north, we came to this cache. I quickly spotted the hide and added our names to the log. TFTC
Out and about today with Selva Girls to pick up some caches today. A nice quick find. TFTC
Enjoying the Murphy series of caches. The GPS is a bit off here but got there in the end
Hard to get a GPS fix on this one but finally found a little something out of place. TFTC
Found on our 2019 mega trip from NSW to QLD and back with Roostaman.

**# 25590** Found on our 2019 winter escape trip to Qld with Mrs Roosta.
A perfect Spring day for a drive to Highfields while at Toowoomba.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good safe hides.
Detoured on the way back south to find the last few in here.

TFTC! As always, I really enjoy these country road cache finds. Thanks for bringing me here!
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
A three-legged dog walks into a bar and says to the bartender, 'I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.

Out camping and stoped to pick this cache up, neat culverts, busy train line TFTH
While on our way to Murphy's creek for a weekend camp we stopped here to find a few caches. Interesting culverts. A quick find once the GPS settled. SL then returned as found
Found on 18 January 2019. TFTC, nannamar.

Like mini train tunnels through mountains. The kind Thomas and friends would use. Tftc
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.

Drove past. Parked walked back. Very hard to be inconspicuous. Maybe train spotters? Tftc
Tuff if you follow the instructions as tunnel nowhere near but Tom is an eagle eye and found it.
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.
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.

Quick easy driveby. Beware of muggles leaving the nearby camping ground. TFTC
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
Took the long way home following a week working in Toowoomba. Found lots of interesting places and spots along the what totally enjoying a few hours in this part of the world
I had to make the drive to Brisbane today to get a new bed, and what better way to break up the trip home than to find a few caches! Nice easy find. Tftc
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.
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.

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?
No luck here today.
With two DNFs & no finds since the cache was 'repositioned' (?) on 07/12/2016 perhaps a CO visit would be beneficial?

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.
