Off on a trip up North we decided to do some speed caching, managed to bag some 254 over the weekend. A great time away although short really enjoyed the caches and naturally the area.
Many thanks to the cache maker for the cache TNLN TFTC SL.

In the North this weekend and decided to do a caching run, on our weekend we managed 254 finds. Really enjoyed the caching during our adventure.
Many thanks to the cache maker for the cache TNLN TFTC SL.

Out with Cachemeifyoucam to run around the area and get as many caches as we can. Really good series, enjoyed all of the finds. Log was wet.

Tftc. Log is saturated. The cache guardian has detatched

One of the many caches we did on our Pike-Granite & Rockland Roads loop !
Big Thanks to All the Cachers who placed them All !!

Found by "D" as we spent a second afternoon finding some of the many caches nearby. Signed log. TNLN Thanks to all the cache owners who have taken their time to place so many caches in the area.

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 1:44pm 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.

Ribbit. You've been bear'd

I was spending the weekend in Warwick and decided that it was about time that I found a few more of the power trails around here. I had a couple of hours and headed out solo and found 32 in a couple of hours

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

Thanks for putting out these caches for our enjoyment.

Smilie #2981

At a bit of a loose end so we decided a day just north of Stanthorpe, to clear a few caches we had no signal for on our last few trips south, was in order.
Apologies if some logs are a bit generic but we converted 95 to smilies today!

Quick find.
Log a bit damp.
Signed & replaced as found.

32 of 95 today!

We came upon a herd of cows and soon we were stopping amongst them.
Out I headed and the cows scattered and one cow was bellowing because she had been spit up from the rest of the herd.
The cache was in the first place I looked while geopartner retrieved this one.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks the cache maker All good with this cache

Yes !! Frogs do seem to like caching
They hop up everywhere !! [:o]
A lot of cacher's names are frog related

So I hopped to it today and made sure to find this amphibious cache

TFTC

Ribbit !!

Really like all the little creature caches on the Pikedale Road run. Quick, easy find! TFTC Weather is beautiful and cool for caching Still caching in the district after the Mega which was a blast

Had a great time finding caches in the area with Just-Lookin
SL Thanks for the fun!

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!

Marvelous holiday with laalaa in Australia. Wonderful land and today sun is shining. We had fun.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

After the Mega was done and dusted, we headed for Warwick with iluvtrekking to complete the power trail and collect a few other smileys along the way. Thanks the cache maker

Found with Albida33, Rapidlywild and SpecimenX while attending the Mega.

We all had a number of unfound caches out in this area so teamed up in one car and headed out to grab them. A good day with all caches found......a total of about 120 for this part of the day.

Thanks for the cache and adding to the fun of our Mega trip.....

Found with richliink on day five of our Mega 2015 Stanthorpe adventure.
Today was the big day, the day of the CITO, the Flash Mob and the closing ceremony. Time to say goodbye for tomorrow we are on the road to Warwick. Thanks the cache maker for your cache, which added to our fun.

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 and the Stanthorpe powertrails are now officially COMPLETE

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

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

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!

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!

Found it with Jondan2
Thanks for the cache

Day five for us at Stanthorpe, attending the Mega event. The previous day was very wet and up until today we really had not got many numbers. Today we finish up the Stan puzzles (has taken us 3 days to find these, been taking it reaaaaaaal slow). Finally with a break in the wet weather, we tackle the trails finishing the day with 202 finds and no DNF's ??
Thanks to all CO for your efforts in putting out these caches.

enjoying the series

Soon had cache in hand TFTC:)

Hippy loved cacheing as well. Favourite tftc

Well, finally, we got some half decent weather to do some caching! My goal was to do 100 for the event and to beat my previous highest day of 23, i have smashed that with 69 for today including the Stanthorpe Mega event and i got my 100 for the event so time to relax! TFTC TNLN.

Found while out and about with Haveanez, DazRascal, mlroberts and arielisme while attending the 2015 OzMega. Shooting for 200 finds in a single day - and we made it!

Thanks to the respectve CO's for their caches

Having a great time at mega, camped onsite...caching with robbieracer66 and team Grub Fred....thanks for this great series cache maker, we enjoyed the containers

Had a great day great caching with Zobo04, Alansee, Maccamob and Phetlern. Found lots of caches some easy to find some not so. We signed the log as GAMPZ. Thanks to those that have gone to the effort of putting out caches in this area for us all to enjoy. Thanks to the cache maker

Here for the oz mega and hoping to get as many caches as we can
The weather will not deter us

Today is day 3 of the QLD MEGA 2015, so Barb and I decided to head north and get some of the animals caches and a few other nearby caches. Really enjoying the different containers.

Visiting from Newcastle, staying onsite at Oz Mega, out today with earthly65 & robbieracer66 filling in a few smilies on the A.S series and the animal run, TFTC!!

We met several frogs today, all very friendly. Didn't see any live ones though. Thanks for this cache too.

Found at the MEGA, had a great day with mlroberts73, we had travelled from victoria and met up with heavenez, dazrascal & mvyrmnd who are also from vic.
We decided we'd hit the trail and get our cache on.
We were trying to crack 200 finds in a day and it seems we managed it.
Thanks for the time & effort you put into these caches!
Signed the log as A.M ( short for Arielisme & Mlroberts73)

I found this cache while visiting Australia from New Zealand and while staying in Stanthorpe for several days for the 2015 Mega Event. Today I joined forces with fellow kiwis Cats&Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vamber and Yorkshirekiwi83 (signing our logs as "CAVVY" to save time and log space.) Our main focus of the day was the power trails between Stanthorpe and Warwick. We left Stanthorpe at dawn and drove straight to Warwick, then slowly made our way south again through the power trails. It was a long day out caching, where we found over 300 caches! Apologies for the copy and paste logs, but its hard to remember them all! TFTC!

[red] 2016 NZ Mega Event in Turangi... http://www.nzmega2016.nz

Found as part of a group assault consisting of myself (DazR) Haveanez (Havez) , Mvyrmnd (Mvyr), MLRoberts73 (MLR) and Ariel_is_me (A.M.)

In all it was a great weekend catching up with some familiar faces over the course of the few days and have a few laughs and fun with the shenanigans of group cache hunting.
An enjoyable time was had by all in our small caching group travelling around the back roads here picking up the finds on the different series out this way.

Thanks for the effort in the creative hides and thought out descriptions for each of them.

Cheers.

Cats and Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vamber, Vistra and I (we signed as CAVVY) decided to tackle the powertrails north of the mega today, sorry these logs will be very generic for the trails as we found over 300 today. Nice easy find, TFTC


[u][Teal]2016 Mega Event Labour weekend in Turangi visit [url=http://www.nzmega2016.nz/]New Zealand Mega 2016[/Url] [/Teal][u]

Found on Day 2 of the Mega Event,
We had a group and we had a mission to find 200 in the day,
We started out signing the log book with our full names Mlroberts73 & Arielisme but not long after the first 25 or so we started to get writers cramps? so we shorted it after about the 40th we sign the log as A&M as the log books where getting full and we didn’t need to take up so much room with our full names..
Thanks for having us for a great weekend

Together with the New Zealand crew which included Cats&Dragons, vamber, vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 (signed logs as CAVVY) we headed out early in the morning to get those power trails plastered with a lot of smiley’s. It took us around 9h working well together to get those awesome trails done. TFTC

Found as part of a very big caching day in conjunction with YorkshireKiwi83, VISTRA, Vamber, Alpenmilch80 signing the logs as CAVVY (to save space).
Shame about the weather but the caching was a whole lot of fun with adventures and trash talk along the way.
Thank you to all the cache owners that put these together for us to enjoy while at the OZ MEGA 2015, as NZer's we certainly did appreciate them.

So again thank you for the FUN of the hunt

In Qld from SA for the Mega event and having a great time, out today with Felix II and K.B. doing some power trails, apologies for the generic logs, but very much appreciate the efforts of the CO. TFTC

Well, the Freddo variety at least! Thanks for the hide.

LCBuilder and I are over from NZ staying in Brisbane and came to Stanthorpe for the MEGA event. We tried to get this whole string of caches in a day to make for our "Most caches in a day" stat. Started early at 5am, most of them were found within seconds with only a couple DNFs. Unfortunately we got a flat tyre about half way through and had to abandon our plan with only the space saver to get us off the gravel roads. To our surprise we managed to find a place to fix the tyre (On Good Friday!), and then off we went, back to the power tail. Couldn't get them all though, with night closing in and the danger of hitting a kangaroo too high, we went back to our tent happy with ~240 finds TFTC
PS - Logs signed as LCB + WK

Spent the day caching with Wafflekitties, we are over from New Zealand for the MEGA event in Stanthorpe. Really enjoyed finding all these caches, even got to see a few kangaroos! Thanks for the cache

In Stanthorpe for the QLD MEGA & teamed up for this wonderful series of caches today with some friends from 'back home' - DazRascal, Mvyrmnd, Arielisme & Mlroberts (A+M).
We had an absolute blast today, beaut countryside, lots of laughs, one flat tyre, no snakes, fantastic range of caches & no DNFs.
Many thanks for placing these caches for us to enjoy & bringing us to a beautiful part of Australia.
Cheers!

Found this cache on day two of the QLD Mega 2015 which saw us tackling the power trails in the area, along with alpenmilch80, yorkshirekiwi83, vistra and, Cats&Dragons (The NZ contingent!). Managed to get through most of the trails in a quick 9 hours with some strategic planning and super power caching. Lots of fun and a big long day, but overall a very productive day! Thanks for the lots of fun hides!

at Pike series enjoy it TFTC

Found with Gonefishen07, Alansee, Phetlern, Maccamob we signed the log as GAMPZ. Sorry for the late logs seems I missed this one. We had a great time doing these trails before the Mega event. Thanks you for all the effort that has gone into these trails. TFTC

Found in the company of Pheltern, Zobo4, Gonefishen07 and Maccamob on asecond day of Geocaching Today we exceeded our expectations and we again had only one DNF and appreciated the effort involved in setting up these series.

Find #4719

Day five for me, having arrived in Stanthorpe last night, the team of Clever Monkey, Jamin Appleford, Marcus Vituvius and I got together to discuss tactics. Luckily MV had put together a fantastic list of caches, a plan of sorts that would hopefully get us to 300 caches for the day. Little did I know what was to come. I had a stamp made up with all our initials on to save time once we found each cache.

After a 4.30am start, we made our first find at 5:34AM and final #403 at 11:58pm. It was a truly epic day, lots of fun mixed with the hard work. Probably not something I would do again, but a 1 of experience was good fun. I also managed to chalk up my 5000th find as well.

Another quick drive by along the way.

Thanks to the cache maker for the cache. TNLN

Reperio with AHomburg, Clever Monkey and Jamin Appleford!

Day 6 of my mega tour of Queensland, and today I teamed up with Ahomburg, Clever Monkey and Jamin Appleford to spend one day finding as many of the local caches as we could. Our goal was to try and reach 300 finds by the end of the day...but with an amazing run of luck, and a good team spirit...we only had 2 DNF's, and we ended up with just over 400 finds.

This series of caches was in a well chosen location, as the roads were in wonderful condition, and offered plenty of room for parking. We even managed to meet a few cachers along the way. All in all...it was a fantastic day out! Thanks to all the cachers who contributed to hiding all the caches we found this week, and to my companions for making this day a memorable one!

Gratias the cache maker.

Just how many can you do in a day…

In daylight we achieved 312, for the day we achieved 403.

Up at 4.30am and at the first cache at 5.30am. Last cache was located and signed just on midnight.

AHomburg, Marcus Vituvius, Jamin Appleford and I had conspired to hit the ambitious target of 300+ caches for the day.

It was only after we had reached the 320 and stopped at the steak house opposite mega central that we thought 350 in a day was very possible and perhaps we could even reach 400..

Thanks to all the COs for the caches and the challenge that was set up for us. Without the amazing power trails around Stanthorpe it would never have been possible. Thanks also to FelixII and others for their maintenance in the week before the mega.

Big things are happening! Are you joining the fun?

MELBOURNE
EVENT 2015

14th / 15th November 2015 - GC5HCJ8 - Casey Fields - Melbourne Victoria

Great cache containers on trail

The discussion of what to do at the Mega event evolved into how many can we do in a day? Myself, AHomburg, Marcus Vituvius, and Clever Monkey conspired to hit the ambitious target of 300+ caches for the day. We set out at 5am heading to our northern start point.
With a route planned and spirits high we managed to get around to all 312 caches on the list in 12 hours (1 minute to spare). We were very pleased with our efforts, and only 1 DNF for the day!

Thanks to all the COs for the caches and the challenge that was set up for us.

On the way to Stanthorpe for the Mega. Had logged a number of caches on these roads a number of years ago but have lived in Tasmania for 12 months. Back to day to fill up the gaps. Apologies for the generic nature of the logs but most caches have very good coordinates and have been carefully constructed to replicate the nature of the cache. Delighted to visit so many to add to our aim of 8000 on Mega Sunday. Met the local farmer mustering his cattle past the cache. Waited for the herd to pass and as he passed the farmer leant over GZ and called "it's still there". Good to see the locals are on-side. Met other geocachers gong in the opposite direction.

TEAM - Together Everyone Achieves More certainly proved to be the case today - together with the four Victorian Teams Gonefishen07, Alansee, maccamob, Zobo04 (signing again as GAMPZ), we found 174 caches. Each team visited every GZ, either finding the cache or signing the log, as we travelled around the country roads surrounded by a range of animal themed caches, or coming to understand the importance of many community organisations via the Awareness Series.

Our thanks to the cache maker for bringing us here.

Found by Mary & David, in company with Gonefishen07, Alansee, Phetlern and Zobo04 (signed as GAMPZ again), at 1440. Our second day out on the power trails, and we enjoyed the scenery, the themed caches and the company. Our thanks to the cache maker.

Second day of the Mega related caching this is the first big day of serious caching and doing a fill in of cache checking for a CO as there was some doubt about Prime P being able to continue the plan (as it turns out he was back in action the next day). In any event today was a PB of finds for ruzzelz in a single day and making March 2015 as a PB for finds in a month a PB. (little did I know this would all be surpassed tomorrow)TFTC.

Over for the Mega and some exploring great day to grab a few more of the many caches around the place. Thanks the cache maker (maintenance helped by 2 Shadows) for the cache.

Today we teamed up with Tassie Trekkers to make an assault on the power trails placed near Warwick as we head to Stanthorpe for the Qld Mega. We signed the logs as WW and TT. We had a great day out and about caching with 154 finds and only 1 DNF. Thanks to all the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches. The placement of hides and the containers used kept us amused and just when you thought you knew what you needed to look for a curve ball was tossed in to keep us on our toes. TFTC

Today we targareted this series with Whitewebbs as a team heading towards Stanthorpe for the Mega using geocaching as a guide.

We found a total of 154 finds and 1 DNF signing the log TT (Tassie Trekkers) & WW (Whitewebbs). We enjoyed the variety of hides and appreciate the time and effort gone into placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment..

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Currently staying at Lake Leslie we thought we would have a leisurely start today but being woken at 6am we decided to head out before 8.30am

Pretty warm day at 30+ and turned quite humid in the afternoon.

During the day we saw numerous butterflies and kangaroos. We walked carefully in the plethora of long grass.

We were absolutely amazed at all the fallen trees as we went about our trek. [8)] When was the storm[?] So much damage.

The longest find of the day went to Seal. Took an age.

We crisscrossed over about 3 series and picked up some lone traditionals aswell in a very successful day. 95 2

Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

GC4X31B Queensland Geocaching ---- Event - Stanthorpe 2015 www.qldmega.com

Found with The Rats, steeba and Big Matt (also loosely known as The Gangsters).

We made the trip up to Stanthorpe pre Mega so that we could take the opportunity to relax with our families at the event.

Another enjoyable trip with many highlights including the caches and the general companionship of our group.

Thanks the cache maker for the cache.

On a caching long weekend with my fellow Gangsters (Big Matt & Shell, steeba, Farmerfrentzen and myself) we partook in a pre QLD Mega blitz on the area from Stanthorpe through to Ipswich where we found hundreds of caches over the few days, many as part of series, trails or as individual finds. Thanks to you as the cache owner for placing this cache.

I'm sorry my logs are very generic, where possible I have tried to add a bit more detail. It certainly doesn't detract from the find.

We look forward to coing back and enjoying the Mega.
Thanks

Found with Big Matt and Shell, Farmer Frentzen and The Rats on a pre Queensland Mega 2015 Stanthorpe trip.
