This morning we started caching at the junction of the Newell Highway and Pikedale Road and during the day, we gradually worked our way south into Palgrave Road, Loloma Road and Mount Janet Road. We started at about 8:45am and finished the caches on our list as the sun set. We enjoyed the variety of caches and the scenery along the way.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks the cache maker for the cache and others you have placed in the area.

Yeehaw, time to get out on the dirt roads of Stanthorpe and pick up some caches. We have had our eyes on this power trail for some time and today is the day. Lots of long grass trodden through, boulders climbed, stabbed by sticks, slips and slides all the geo-caching fun

Along the way we managed to pick up a few letters we needed for animal names for another challenge cache we are trying to complete.

Thanks for all the caches out here on the dirt roads of Stanthorpe.

Had a fantastic day out with my husband as we left the kids at home for the sole purpose of me being able to pick up my largest number of caches in a day. The day didn't go quite to plan due to the large volume of water making us not to confident to drive along the soft sided road. However we saw some amazing animals along the way including two snakes, thankfully the red belly black snake was dead. I particular enjoyed the animal series, but appreciate all cache owners for placing and maintaining these for the geocaching community. I apologise for the generic log.

Tftc. This is a late log. Went on a caching trip back on August 28/29 2016. Did over 350 caches over the weekend and only managed to log the rest of it now. The girls took me out for a bday weekend caching. Found with chasing adventures and Thehinds of the Triple threat crew

Day 2

A wonderful weekend away in Stanthorpe resulting in 374 finds, including 22 mystery (Stanthorpe Apple) and 1 Earthe cache. I hoped to log each individually as I usually would but the tyranny of time prevents me from continuing to try and achieve this goal. A big thank you to all the Stanthorpe CO's. We said many times we wish we had more consolidated trails in Brisbane. TFTC Smile
 
A quick find here! These are much easier in the daylight than they were last night after sunset! Glad we called it quits and went home

WillPunkey 7, the 2 yr old and I set off from Toowoomba for an afternoon of caching, the aim was to complete a some of the power trail that StephLego, the kids and I started a few months ago. Both kids loved the afternoon and made some swaps along the way.
Some of the caches were challenging but with the help of WillPunkeys young eyes we ended up finding all that we attempted along the trail. Even with the toddler tagging along we made good progress, completing 45 caches in around 3.5 hours before we headed back to the Hwy to grab some more.

Firstly, apologies for the generic logs through the power trail here.
A huge day of caching the area had me signing my first log at about 1:30am. Then 12 and a bit hours on the lower section of the powertrails before heading into town (via some others of course) for some well deserved dinner, a coldie and a bush shower to clear the dust off me. I felt brilliant surprisingly after a wash and some tucker, plus a quick count of my finds had me thinking maybe I should push on for a few more hours.
So here I am trying to round up a few more for an awesome day on the job. Along this stretch I also managed to click over to 2500 finds so far.
Appreciate the time and effort the CO's put into the hides out here for all of us to find.
Signed in as mm29 all day today to save a little time.
Thanx again to all.

We set aside today to challenge ourselves to find at least 150 caches in a day. Before last Mega in Stanthorpe, we had cleared the middle section of the AS Series, so this challenge meant starting at the bottom, then later moving to the top section, then back down the highway towards Stanthorpe until our target was reached. Apologies for this generic log: unless noted below the caches were in good order and available for future hunters - in some cases this meant stopping awhile longer to replace a log, and/or clean out the cache.

Found at 3:24pm on 8th December, 2015. TFTC.

I had driven down from Brisbane for a quick day out caching. The idea to grab as many as i can along the power trails here. The day turned into a mission, with my GPS deciding to impersonate a brick, leaving me to use the phone, so lots of missed caches and backtracking. Great day out, lots of caches, sun, Kangaroos, sun, other flora, sun and more caches. Thanks for putting in the trail.

Our second day of the long weekend trip to Warwick and I left the wife resting in the Motel and headed out for a few more caches on the power trails,

The trouble is trying to remember individual caches when you do power trails.

Thanks for putting out these caches for our enjoyment.

We travelled down from brisbane to Tenterfield today to sign the log for the "Average Challenge". Not ones to let an opportunity go to waste, we spent the balance of the day finding some great caches in the Stanthorpe area we missed during the Mega.

Had a chuckle at this one as this is freddo's Mum's pet name for him (which he loathes) so of course "piglet" was sent to find his namesake Razz

With a storm overnight the roads were a pleasure to travel and I soon rounded up the remaining caches along this trail. An interesting drive, , some unexpected sights and the finding of the way to Utopia. Surprised

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day eleven took us back north to do more of the trails. We ere joined by Rapidlywild and SpecimenX for the morning. After a creative drive to get to our starting point we powered through all of the remaining animals by lunch. Then it was back to town to head our different ways. Sold De Lune and I headed out to the Bald rock road to do the remaining caches out that way. Thanks.

Found it with Team FIN [kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

Today specimenX and myself had a goal, we wanted to finish the powertrails. We had organised to meet up with Sol De Lune and Albida who are also from Canberra and with the 4 of us loaded up at 8am, off we went in order to hit as many as possible.

We had managed to knock over just over 100 caches in just under 4 hours and soon after, we were in a position where SDL and ALB had found ones we were missing. So we were returned to the Mega site to jump in our geomobile and from there we went seperate ways. With the very first cache collected at 0850, the ver last cache collected at 2122 with a ~2 hour break, we managed 226 cache finds in a 10 hour caching period. This is our biggest daily achievement to date !!!

Some caches were easy, some a little more difficult, all in all, no DNF's to record Big Grin and the Stanthorpe powertrails are now officially COMPLETE Big Grin

The weather was nice to us today and the roads remained dry enough to get around without any issues.

Thanks the cache maker for placing this cache for us to make a find on Big GrinSmile

Up from Canberra and found with Rapidlywild on a two week geomission around the Gold Coast and, of course, for the MEGA Big GrinCoolBig GrinCool

Today's plan for us was to complete the powertrails we had left around Stanthorpe and to nab any randoms along the way. A plan was hatched with our fellow ACT geomates, Sol de Lune and Albida33, the night before to join them at 8am to see how many we could knock off.

With just over 100 caches nabbed in under 4 hours, we were up to the point where Sol and Albida had already found the ones we had yet to get. So with that we all returned to Mega GZ to freshen up, then RW and I continued on to knock over the remaining caches we had left to collect on the power trails.

All up we made 226 finds in 10hrs-not a bad effort I reckon and it made for our biggest day yet! Big GrinCoolBig Grin

Thanks to all of the CO's who placed the caches for us to find on a most enjoyable day. As a powertrail co-owner, I can appreciate the work involved in setting them up! Smile
