Endurance Longreach, Queensland, Australia
By GEOTRECAZ on 17-May-02. Waypoint GC5A15

We continued today our tour of several AUS states in the NorthWest and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.The weather was - said in one word simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood. The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.Thanks to GEOTRECAZ for the generation of this nice cache Endurance (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they happened.Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Today we travelled from Barcaldine to Longreach. There were a number of caches that we found along the way, This was one of them.Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks to GeoTrecaz for the cache.

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 28 - Mount Isa - Barcaldine, Queensland (750 km)Vera naveer jsem dojela do hornickho msteka Mount Isa, takov mini Ostravy, kter le opravdu v kopcch, a to skoro do posledn chvle nevypadalo. Dnes tedy m dal cesta vedla prvnch 150 km vysoinou, pak 100 km bu a dalch asi 400 km kolem nedozrnch pastvin dobytka. Toho je tu ale hrozn mlo. Asi li ped ltem na porku. Celkem jsem ujela 750 km, ale krajina se mnila, slunce bylo milosrdn kryto mraky, teplota klesla pod 30C a foukal vtk, take jsem u po setmn dojela do Barcaldine sice unaven, ale spokojen. Taky jsem mla bhem dne spoustu zitk. Zastavovala jsem u rznch keek u cesty, zejmna u rznch pamtnk, nap. u pamtnku vnovanmu Dreamtimes - asu snn, co je vlastn historie Aboriginc a jejich kultury, nebo pamtnku vnovanmu pnm Burke a Wills, kte byli nco jako Lewis a Clark v USA - dobrodruzi a objevitel vnitrozem Austrlie. Tak jsem si chtla odlovit jedinou keku v okrese McKinley u starch zemdlskch stroj a zapadla jsem obma pednmi koly do bahna. Bylo to na okraji mal obydlen kiovatky (vesnice) a mstn staci m natst bhem pl hodiny velkm pickupem vythli a j mohla pokraovat. Ke jsem stejn neodlovila, neb bych pky dopadla stejn jak auto. Pda je tu hodn podmen po vech tch boukch a detch. A to v rdiu vyhrouj jejich pokraovnm a taky pchodem tropick cyklony. Nevm, co si pod tm pedstavit, ale nezn to dobe. Pak jsem jela na benzinku doplnit ndr a piel mi dal asi stolet stak ct, e benzin je jen u stojanu .2, neb dochz. Tak to m pekvapilo. Na ostatnch stojanech vude npisy Out of order a vidla jsem je vlastn u nkolik poslednch dn u benzinek. Co se dje, netum, asi njak vzne zsobovn. V rdiu si u stovali, e v Alice Springs je vykoupen supermarket. Nejvt pekvapen ale pilo v malebn obci Winton, kam jsem jela na mstn vlakov ndra, tedy sp stanici, samozejm pro keku. Po jejm odlovu jsem zahldla njak pohyb na trvnku ped ndram a hele, oni to nejsou sochy, ale iv klokani ! A dal byli jet ve stanici. Tak j tu jezdm autem tisce kilometr divoinou, abych je vidla, a klokani zatm jezd vlakem ! Tak to je jasn, e se nememe potkat. Byla jich cel skupina vetn matky s klokntem v kapse a v klidu se psli na trv a taky se tam jen tak povalovali nebo poskakovali. Konen jsem je tedy vidla mimo ZOO. Pozorovala jsem je asi 20 minut a pak u musela uhnt dl. Prost dnes se den vydail a ztra m ek posledn dlouh pejezd na pobe a pak 3 noci na jednom mst, abych si trochu odfrkla.I spend all day on the Hwy from Mt. Isa to Barcaldine. I found some caches on the road, saw many monuments, hills and mesas. I try to find an only cache in McKinley and I got my car stuck in the mud. The local nice old men helped me and pulled the car out. The biggest surprise awaited me at the cache at the train station in Winton. I found the cache and suddenly I see a whole group of kangaroos coming from the station. I drive thousands of kilometers through the wilderness to see them, and they take the train ! Thanks for the cache and greetings from Czech republic.

Nice easy find for the morning, thanks for placing GEOTRECAZ.RVCL.

Watch for snakes! Tftc!

Staying in blackall for a few weeks visiting family we decided to make a trip to longreach and collect various caches up the highway, through Barcaldine and then on to Longreach. Nice easy find of this oldie. Tftc.

OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa In Longreach for a few days, quick find as we explore. Tftc

Visiting Longreach to celebrate 110 years of scouting here. Took the opportunity to find some caches.

??

Lovely find by the Stockmams museum.

One extra night in Longreach meant I had a chance to do the AdLabs, and as one point of one of them meant we had to pass this cache, of course I had to do it. It was also perfect time to get a great photo of the Stockmans Hall of Fame in the late afternoon sun.

Quick find. But unsuspecting area all the same. Tks.

Another one for James and I! Found this with some fellow new geocachers!

Great find !

With QOGM over and done with Alyce and I decided to grab any caches we neglected to grab on our travels.With only a few more to collect we were looking forward to seeing the sea of yellow on our map.We decided to leave this one to the very last due to its age as we are chasing the Q100 caches so this was a must grab! So as you could imagine were thrilled to bag this one.Thanks for bringing us here.#4136 - TFTC

This is our first and last time that we will get to experience a QOGM !!!Sooo glad we made it !!!We will never be able to thank the QOGM committee and others anywhere near enough for all their hard work to make these events with all the associated caches that go along with it ??Its been an absolute HOOT !!!Especially enjoyed the Saturday muster as team PORTONGA with The Morris, trads, multis, wherigos, all found with great teamwork, and a win in the photograph run to boot ??TFTCs and an amazing QOGM !!!

Well my trip up to QOGM has officially started and I’m taking the very indirect route up to outback QLD to get there.
So after cruising up the Hume to Sydney then the M1 and A1 up to Byron Bay with a few other roads in between as I have been cris crossing a bit so it is time to start heading west.
I have never been up this way before so it will be interesting to see what towns I come across in my travels.
So after spending a great night in Morven and finally making it to Barcaldine my week long QOGM activities has started.
After checking in to my Motel it was time for a few more caches after attending my second event at Camden Park.
This was the last one for me for the day as it is time to grab a well earned beer and some tea.
Another must visit place while I’m up here.

Thanks GEOTRECAZ TFTC.

Definitely going here. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

Thanks!

Good location

Following a visit to the nearby Stockman’s Hall of Fame there was time to search for this cache. A quick find and we collected the TB. Thanks to GEOTRECAZ for the cache.

not many muggles driving past today,

Tftc great area

After spending a couple hours walking around The Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, we saw there was a cache nearby and just had to find it! Quick spotting, logging and replacing. TB drop! I wanted to drop this TB as close as I could to the Qantas Museum. ️

I have been carrying this Travel Bug since January 2023 when I picked it up in Toowoomba QLD. It was released in the Netherlands in 2008 and after scouring all the logs, this bug has only ever been to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. ️ I have since taken it to Mackay and the Whitsundays, now it has been dropped in the red dirt of the heart of the Australian Outback. Whoever picks it up, please continue it's Outback journey, show it all Australia has to offer! Goodbye TB! Safe travels. ️

Found whilst visiting Longreach for the weekend. A quick easy find after a short wait for muggles. Tftc

Easy one

Cool

Find number 12223 at 10:42:03 am on Wednesday the 19 July 2023
Departed Melbourne the other day and travelling north for the winter, well, for the northern warmth actually (hopefully ), passing through as many small towns as I can grabbing the odd cache here and there as I travel. Leaving Barcaldine this morning and heading north east again hoping to find somewhere for the night just past Winton, Kynuna sound nice. I'll be heading out first thing in the morning through Longreach and Winton
No endurance today, it was straight in and out, found quickly
