We had seen the previous DNF's but still had a look. We also had a previous finder with us and can confirm that the cache is missing.
I'm in Toowoomba for a few days of camping and caching by myself
Day 3, and Nurseyjulie has arrived from Brisbane [^] Time for a bit of a drive around the TARDIS Trail. No luck at this one So many spots to search here, and the one that looked the most logical, well, I really didn't want to dig around in there too deeply.

Number 7 cache with Wombles in the Toowoomba area. We weren't too keen on going to this one, the grass is so long :/ We thought about leaving it but gave it a go and thankfully it was an easy find once we got in there..... no snakes were in our way (that we saw anyway) happy to have this one

We trekked through the grass to get this one, we weren't very confident about doing it and almost gave up but we got there and the cache was located after a few minutes of searching.
Didn't try very hard on this one. In fact we drove past and saw the long grass and just kept driving. But we will return.
I have been wanting to do this trail ever since we started this crazy hobby a few months ago. b. I noticed there had been a couple of DNF. but you need to look deeper.
Some of what has been said in logs before regarding the long grass could be said again. Not just for this one but several. We felt lucky we were attepting this trail in winter as nasty things may lurk within during warmer months. Plus well, getting that monster motorhome off these roads with the steep verges was rather hairy. We plunged deep into the grassy mire, found an ideal hide at our GZ but also found sadly that the cupboard was bare. Oh dear, another DNF!

This was our second find of the TARDIS Trail ( we went a bit out of order to make it easier). Again a few issues with roadside grass height but we forged ahead Lol. Found quite quickly by one of the geokids and back to the car to continue the hunt Thank you for the cache.
Visiting from Newcastle, on the way to Brisbane after the Mega at Stanthorpe, TFTC 4tardis!!
Finding a great combination of traditional and puzzle caches kept up well occupied in this attractive town. Nice one Thanks to 4tardis.
I almost didn't attempt this cache. The grass was over my head and on a steep slope from the road but I plowed through trying not to think of all the snakes that could have been in there.
Luckily the search area was clear and there was one very obvious search spot but I didn't see the cache hiding there on the first pass but a closer search after exploring around a bit showed up the cache.
TFTC. I headed back through the grass and came out as a car was passing and they didn't see me for the high grass.

Our 4th DNF today.
[red]We spent a little time here at around 10:27:00 AM but, because of the roadworks and the nearby trafic controller, we decided to give this one a miss rather than expose it to curious muggles.

I have not been caching in a serious sense since early May. Back in the saddle yesterday and it was after 1600 when I arrived in Toowoomba so drove home via a few on the New England Highway.
Back today and started with the Cooby Dam lot that are available. Now having completed those ten I will try and get as many of these as I can. I found #8 yesterday on my way home. Could not stop for numbers 4 and 7 due to the continuing roadworks. Arrived at GZ and soon had the very well concealed cache in my hands. Very good co ordinates. TFTC 4tardis.

Today we did a full day of caching in Toowoomba region. From the town region & out to Cooby Dam.
All the caches we found were in good condition & some wonderfull & scenic locations.
We enjoyed our run doing the the Tardis Trail. Saw the Tardis close to close to number 4.
We were not able to do Tardis 4 & 7 because of the road works.
Thanks for placing this cache 4tardis

Out to grab a few caches whilst camping at nearby Crow's Nest National Park. Thanks 4tardis.
All set for a super long week-end in Toowoomba from Friday until Tuesday.
I am in town to find all of the new caches in the area since I left town year ago.
I pulled off the road near GZ and soon found the cache tucked away.
Unfortunately there is not much room to pull off the road here unless you park further up the road.
I would not want to be looking for this one after rain.
Thanks for the cache.

Our third Cache on the Tardis Trail is number three. We must have parked where angloj parked because there seemed to be the beginnings of a Geo-Trail to GZ. I suppose that it is the safest and most logical place to park.
The co-ords were pretty well spot on for us today because once the GPS read 1m we spotted the Cache.
The log book was signed, the Cache returned and we headed off to one of our GeoCaches that needs a little love.
Cheers 4tardis

After a cold and windy game of soccer we decided to grab the last few caches in the area. This one was an interesting little walk with an easy find at the end. TFTC
Found on the ground. The native who lives here apparently does not like it. Put it back and covered. Hopefully ad I pug it slightly off the beaten track into this animals home it will not be kicked out again.

6 Km from home.
With Mrs R-F away and me almost out of groceries it was off to town to some shopping and what better way to do that but cache my way into town.
After 25 minutes of climbing over flood debris, falling over in waist high grass and not having any joy I gave up on this one. I walked back to the car, got the other GPSr and headed back only to be taken to the same very likely but barren as far as a torch could see hiding spot.
