Found at S28 18.110 E152 59.578

A rare day with no work and no plans… So Blkthunder and I headed out on a country drive…

Heading south, the initial plan was abandoned soon after leaving home, so a small change sees us heading towards Christmas Creek, Lamington and Chinghee Creek…

It wasn’t until we were heading back to LeDeVine that I checked some logs and found the alternate coordinates… which are on the opposite side of the road to where we were originally looking…

Like Beardman75 we found the remnants of the container…

The Private Property signs are a little disconcerting but we continued on anyway…

Found with Peppa

Out caching with CaptainVimes. I found the remains of it. It looks like a mower got to it. Needs replacing. Thanks for placing this cache Hot Wheels Duo

There must have been plenty of rain up here as another cache found in a very overgrown spot! I was pleased to get back to the car without a slithery friend joining me lol . Tftc . Ps view is absolutely stunning up here!!

Found it .Great view .Thanks for bringing us here TFTC.

Not the obvious picnic area in case you are lead astray- signs say private use only. According to.us Gz was 14m out but then phones not always accurate. Hint lead us to right area, a bit hidden by long grass at the moment. TFTC

Found - still raining, note that all is well with cache.

This one needed replacing as per the notes. Found the remnants and had something suitable to use for the cache and a new log scroll. We have put some coords that may work better. Location still at the same fence post. Awesome spot and fav point alloc. S28 18.110 AND E152 59.578.

Damaged, just the base left, needs maintenance

Found it. Well, the bottom half anyway.

Found broken container, no log, needs maintenance

Cache broken but found

NO cache for me here today

Well what a great view from GZ! The locals must think so too, as there's a bench up on the hill behind GZ. Bet the early morning vista is amazing from here. Cache was found easily - lid was on their pretty firmly, this one hasn't been found for a while. The blue sistema lock tab is almost sun-bleached white - but everything is in good condition. A perfect place for a cache. Thanks Hot Wheels Duo!

Another great view. TFTC

After reading previous logs regarding the broken lid we found the remains of the lid but not container. We replaced it with a small Sistema at coords s28 18.110 e152 59.577

Thanks

As I drove past saw a picnic table up there and assumed it was up there,then rounded the corner and there was campers right there so I didn't stop.

About to give up geo daughter found it. Co ords 6 mtrs our. Tftc tnln

Think this one might be in geo cache heaven as there is no post in the area on CZ

Tftc and needs maintainance container is very broken

Tftc. Cache in poor condition requiring new lid/container and didn't have a spare.
Log signed

Nice view from under umbrella as it had started raining. Thankful of long pants as grass as long as them. No snakes, just the cache. TFTC HWD x

Needed a bit of help from a friend for this one. Must have been a bit tired after our walk on the first attempt. TFTC HWD

After attending the Stinson 80th Anniversary event at Christmas Creek, it seemed only natural to pick up a few smilies while in the area and along the way back home .

Wow the scenery here was stunning. Marchwood had trouble locating this one, so we teamed up. Its no wonder he had trouble, according to my gpsr coords were out by 15 metres. The hint will help point finders in the right direction.

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #3274. Thanks **Hot Wheels Duo** for bringing us here. Feel free to discover our trackable TGQNRV .

After the Stinson Event it was time to go caching - with a full yummy tummy.

I had a minor technical glitch where my data for the caches down this Valley got corrupted.
So with no description, hints or logs I hit the trail.

I searched for quite some time above the road where my GPS said I should be.
Gave up and headed back down the hill where I bumped into Orange Crew.
Returned to GZ where it became a quick find once the hint was divulged.
I made it about 15m out.
Loved the views from up here.

Stinson Weekend! Today is the Westray grave site walk in the morning and some afternoon caching as well. We found thirteen caches yesterday afternoon on our way to the camping grounds (although we are taking in more of the comfort of a cabin!)

On the afternoon of the second of our three days, we headed up Chingee Creek Road in search of the nine traditional geocaches there. Another quick drive by geocache at a county fence post.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 4.40pm on 17th February 2017. TFTC, Hot Wheels Duo.

Out for a little clean-up run with Goldielover and stairman 1. Thanks for the cache and the pleasant scenery along the way.

Found with goldielover and Ruzzelz while on our way home from Stinson park.

Top views. Thank you for bringing me here.

Out for a caching day with Snickersallan, Jaid07 and Aussie Liahona. Weather conditions were perfect for searching and the scenery was unbelievable!
What lovely views - thanks.

Another spectacular area around this countryside and a nice quick find as well. Thanks Hot Wheels Duo and TFTC

Cordinate bit out TFTC

found it no worries TFTC

There was just the right parking spot for this one on the way up the hill. My GPSr took me for a bit of a wander in a circle before I read the hint.

A nice quick find once I was in the right spot.

Went out to Christmas Creek for a geocache event and had fun locating this find while out there.

Well I had left the Christmas Creek campsite just after 7 am with the kids. We had done a nice walk around Beaudesert caching and it was quite a hot day. Roll on to this road and Master Lincoln 4 fell asleep. We get up to this spot where it would have been nice to have enjoyed the views and peace and quiet but all I can hear is loud snoring! Very loud snoring bless him. Quickly grabbed cache and moved on to the next one. TFTC.

Was invited by the CO to add my name to the log on this one while out placing containers for new caches. I forget what we saw here as it was a whirlwind tour, but thanks to the CO for letting me grab this one.

Thanks HWD

I was lucky enough to be driven by the CO to GZ today, along with dahumbug and Just a Trife. It was a great afternoon spent finding older caches and helping hide some new ones. Beautiful views of the rolling hills as you would expect out this way. It's a damn shame there isn't a flying fox on those power lines though, how fun would that be. We even placed a nice new container here as the old one had been broken.
Thanx again HWD.

Wow! What great views from here! It would be super to sit above GZ at the table and benches and have a snack and sit pondering and admiring. I guess everyone thinks that as they have had to put up Private Property signs where you'd enter to access the table and seats. Never mind. It was delightful to spend a few minutes admiring the view before finding the container and logging for our smilie. Thanks for showing us this amazing spot Hot Wheels Duo. Well worth the drive! [^][^]

We were in the area to attend the "Christmas Creek - the Stinson Weekend" Event and with our campsite all set up, we thought we had finished for the day and were sitting around chatting when Hot Wheels Duo announced she had to go out to place a few new caches for the event and asked who wanted to go along with her. Well Mrs Just a Trifle didn't need to be asked twice and along with Monkey Maker and dahumbug, she headed off for a bit of caching along the way. It didn't take long to find this cache and with our names in the log book, we were soon on our way again.

Thank you Hot Wheels Duo for having placed the cache for everyone to find.

Cache full of water (strange considering location). Container lid was cracked so probably rain.
Log book nice and dry in zip lock bag.
Tried to dry out container and removed note books as soaked so they didn't go moldy.
Nearby seat looking very peaceful, will stop here for cup of tea on next visit and sit and admire view.
Thanks Hot Wheels Duo for bringing me to this amazing place.
A well deserved favorite point for when I come back to contemplate at the table.

Smilie #2689

A trip south was overdue so we thought today we'd hit the Christmas Creek Kerry area and, hopefully, pick up some extra smilies.

I always find , when doing country drives, that I tend to get too involved in the scenery & end up bypassing the main objective.
The cache!
So far we have had to backtrack three times due to being distracted by the view. LOL ...
As we approached GZ a beautiful brown falcon took flight from atop a fence post nearby.
Great cache guardian, deserting his 'post' when needed most!
A quick find.
Logged & replaced as found, minus the falcon of course!

Taking the new geo-mobile for a bit of a drive in the country. After a wander to J G Westray's grave I was now heading home.

"Just a few more" found me heading up this road. My field note from many weeks ago just says "snail" for this one. I can't remember the snail but do remember admiring the view as a couple of other cars hooned on up the hill.

Thanks for the cache HotWheelsDuo.

Cheers!!

Out for the day with K8'n'Co, Curare63, T-Tech, IolantheK, Selva Girls, Mnance, Waimak and Brother Colin. Waimak was kind enough to be the taxi for half of us. We were all in the area for a long weekend event so we had plenty of time to cache. Beautiful day and we all had a lot of fun in this lovely area. 6032 for us. Thank you Hot Wheels Duo for placing and maintaining this cache.

A camping weekend at Christmas Creek. A group of cachers were heading out to hike up Running Creek. I joined them for the adventure. We collected the caches along the way. This was the first. With a large group searching for the cache, it didnt take long to find. We all signed the log. the cache was rehidden and we made our way back to the cars and on to the next one

Today I am taking a hike down at Running Creek in the company of -Tech, Brother Colin, mnance101, curare63, The Green Geckos, Selva Girls and Waimak. Along the way we stopped to collect all the caches.

A beautiful view right here, and the hint made it an easy find. TFTC, Hot Wheels Duo.

There is quite a group of geocachers out here this week-end and an event tonight.
This morning IolantheK, T-tech, selvagirls, The Green Geckos and a couple of others headed off for a hike today.
We did stop via a couple of caches along this road on the way.
A quick find with so many eyes searching.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it.

Out caching with Hot Wheels Duo and found this one without to much trouble.Thanks for the cache in this lovely part of the world.
Took a bit but found it.

A quick find with lisylou k8n&co and herbz after a great weekend thanks Kylie

Found with a group of fellow cachers on the way home from a bushwalking weekend at Running Creek. Stunning views from here and a very worrhy addition to the other hides along this road. TFTC Hotwheels Duo.

Heading home from a wonderful weekend with fellow cachers we stopped here for a quick find, I spotted it after a bit of thought. Cache signed and we headed down the road to the next one. Tftc

After a walk today to try to get to Running Creek Falls, I decided to do a few caches on my way home. A nice quick find with lovely views. TFTC HotWheelsDuo!
