Found this 1, 100 metres away from gps near the saleyard bore, instead the distributor box . badly needs maintenance.
Decided to stop here in Warialda for a second day, in part to grab a few caches and because the area was so beautifully maintained. Just did the caches along the main road, will do the walking trail possibly on our return trip from the QBN Mega.
Due to the container being broken, it is now 90mtrs away from GZ. We only had a powerpoint to replace and would look put of place hanging from the powerpole.

Fortunately we had our trusty tool kit to access this one. Must have looked mighty suspicious to any muggles passing by.

Travelling from Cunnamulla QLD, stayed at the western end of town rest area. This was a smart cache, lucky had the right tool to extract cache otherwise it would have been impossible. Tftc
On our way to Moree, this was a good little rest area. After reading the "spoiler" hint it was a fairly easy find. Fortunately I had the toolbox handy for the necessary tool to make the retrieve possible. Thanks 3 Lost Girls for placing this cache. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.
Hi there 3 Lost Girls.
We found your cache **"Saleyards Rest Area"** today. (This makes our find count 19460).
Today we cached around Warialda. The aim of the day was to cache along roads we haven't traveled on since we became full time grey nomads. Once we've done that we can draw another line on our wall map).
We found 15 caches today (DNF'd 0) .We thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

This is the first time I have had to open my toolbox to get at a log book. TFTC Ladies.
Spent the night in the rest area while passing through. Top spot and quite a few caches around. We'll be back when we have a bit more time.
I am on my way home from the OZ Geomuster in Morisset.
Today's geocaching adventure has taken me from Bingara to Emmaville.
This was my another stop along the way for the day.
And I continue to make my way north back to Toowoomba.
A short search before spotting this one.
Thanks for the cache.

#1851 - On our way to the OzGeoMuster down south we want to pick up some caches along the way.
After we pulled in for to camp for the night I busied myself with the daily routine. When I sat down afterwards and when Rhyssa6 told me about a nearby cache all I had to do was turn around....

Dutchie1950 and I are taking a slow scenic route to the OzGeoMuster in Morisset. We both have a goal we'd like to hit before the mega so we're caching as we go (ok, we'd be caching anyway!)
We pulled in here after lunch for a quiet afternoon as it was too hot to walk around. I opened my app to see where the nearest cache was and it was a mere 22 metres away!

And the rest area was being well-used today, with three lots of people in there plus ourselves. Happily, I could see exactly where to look, though the slight resistance at first made me question if I was right! Checked the hint, proceeded as planned . Found everything in great condition, left our names and off into town we go. Nicely done cache! TFTC, 3 Lost Girls. =^.^=
While camping at Warialda with Geodog Scruffy ...
We just had to go out and find a few caches ..

I managed to drive the car right up to this one and only needed to open the door and reach out and and grab the container. TFTC

We stopped here to use the dump point facilities and then started to look for the cache. We didn't think it was going to be in there - however p-pprass looked in there in any case and missed it. It was c-pprass that eventually went back and found it in its wrecked state.

#1 of 15 finds this afternoon after reaching town. Unfortunately I have seen one of these before and most people don't carry the right tool for this kind of cache. The same has happened again - someone has just broken their way in.
An easy find so signed log and replaced to its hidey hole.

Stayed the night at the local caravan park, it was of the best on our trek North. Up early to pick up a couple of caches before leaving town. This cache was found easily , it does need a little maintenance. TFTH.
Well I spotted this one , but required me to resource a special "TOTT" to extract the loot! Thanks 3 Lost Girls....
It's already raining and its 7pm and our accommodation is book for a night in Inverell, and we are traveling through Warialda. Must log at least one cache this time to say that we have been here.
We weren't expecting a cache like this one - thankfully I had a tool handy what is definitely NOT one of a regular geocaching TOTT!
Found at 7.05pm on 4th January, 2016. TFTC

Still trying to bump up the number of smiley faces while I am in the area. Thanks 3 Lost Girls for some fabulous caches. Found this one easily.
Wombat the Anthus laptop Geocoin visited, as did Runciple's Grasshopper, a tassie trekkers pathtag, a sweet - sour pathtag, a grannysmith path tag, a geo achievement 500 caches award, and an f14 Tomcat and a scotch and soda, oh, and a bundle of keyrings that I have collected since caching in WA in August 2013 (current count is 23)

Found on journey away from the Mega. Today we are travelling from Glen Innes to Warialda for a couple of days. we had seen this spot in the Wikicamps as an option to camp. Not for us! But we did find the cache.

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 thirteen and it was time to head home. We drove from Stanthorpe to Moree via Warialda. Most of the caching was at Warialda, including the highlight, the walk around the reserve. There were a few other fun ones during the day as well. Thanks.

The GPS took me somewhere that I did not expect but I was soon signing the log. Time has wreaked its way on the cover and it is no longer the same colour!

Another perfect Autumn day for caching around Warialda and the Nature Walk.
Not many muggles around and mostly quick finds.

We are on a road trip heading to the ACT. We are towing our caravan and are enjoying traversing the back road where quite often there is an opportunity to stop and do a cache without being annoying to any other traffic. We have also based ourselves in Cecil Plains and Warialda and done some of the most enjoyable and creative caches we have ever done. We are so impressed with the standard of these caches. Fav point alloc. We did the cache and stayed the night. [^][^] Thanks to 3 Lost Girls.
#1426 - quick find of a great little cache. No one around early this morning as we head southwards on our AroundOz bicycle tour. Spotty clouds this morning.
Spotted as I drive in I use the same things back home quick park and grab as I headed off to do the nature series. TFTH
Cache found on ground. Pole is perishing, we have put it back but it's hanging by one nail. Urgent attention needed by owner or next cacher carrying small nails and a hammer.
