Found this nice hiding hole. Explained to the new owner of the property what we were doing. The new owner of this property requested that this cache be removed. The CO has been messaged about this.
My wife and I are going with Granite countertops for our new kitchen. I don’t even like the look of Granite all that much but honestly I just couldn’t think of a counter-argument lol. TFTC
Found by Miss 5 while on a road trip through the area. Swapped, signed and returned. All in good order.
Time to head home but not till we have had our fill of apple pie and grabbed another couple of caches. Used our geosenses on this one. Tftc
Another great find. Good hidey hole. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment Team Robins
Lovely old church building here.

I have just had the best weekend caching around the Warwick, Summit and Stanthorpe areas. With caching buddies (geonayfee, Willis007 and Triple Turmoil) for the weekend we got in a very large number of caches, completing the apple geoart, the fruit run and a few other special caches along the way. I had a fantastic weekend with lots of laughs and funny events it just made for a fun time; the puzzle solving in the lead up to the weekend was great also.
A big thanks to all the CO’s of the caches along the way; for placing and maintaining the caches for us to enjoy. Visiting this area and seeing places I would never see in a normal trip here was enlightening, so again thanks.
In the weekend I got around 180 caches so firstly apologies for the generic part to the log, I do not remember all specifically but some did stand out so I will add a little to those in my posts.
Day two and it was an early start, there is so much still to get in the area. A fun and eventful day in many ways, lol. As we started to work our way back home it was a matter of zigzagging and back tracking the caches to Warwick. The fruit run series we were setting our sites on to complete, most were easy finds, with just a couple we did not find, then there was the a few others as we passed by, thanks.

Found while on a weekend mission with Chamad, Willis007 and Nayfee. Signed as Team Twocan. We came to get the Stanthorpe Apple, but couldn't drive past any of the others. We were there to flood our maps with smilies.
Day two on our epic journey around Stanthorpe and surrounds with Chamad, TripleTurmoil and Willis007.
After some much needed rest we woke up bright and early (Thanks Chamad for the farmyard sounds) and set off for another full day of caching around Stanthorpe to clear up the rest of the Stanthorpe Apple and a few other caches in between, then we slowly made our way back north towards Warwick while grabbing a bunch of caches we didn't get yesterday.
Same as yesterday we had a wonderful time exploring the area. I really enjoy visiting this part of the world, it's a great feeling to get out of the city and enjoy the country life.
Thank you to each and every CO for placing caches at these locations. We had a great time.

Heading out to Stanthorpe this weekend to grab some of the wonderful caches on offer out here. Our group of Triple Turmoil, CHAMAD and NayFee signed logs as team TWOCAN.
An easy find at gz today.
Thank you for the cache Team Robins

It’s some years since I beadled around the Stanthorpe region and the promise of a temperate climate and low humidity drew me here. Lots of caches, cheese, jam, wineries, truffles, happy hour, awesome scenery, you get the picture Even managed to convert a muggle to our evil ways Lots of fun!
All is fine with this cache

Second day of our Geocaching sortie to Stanthorpe. Yesterday was a beautiful sunny Spring day, today is wet, windy and bloody cold! 9 degrees with an apparent temperature of 4! Don't you love the stupid things that Geocaching makes you do

When we got close I saw that magic sign that always takes your breath away: “Wine Tasting”. I had to wonder if we were ever going to make it to Warwick for lunch. However we had arrived just minutes before opening time and I was shattered. It was just like the day I found out that Santa wasn’t real, and that was our wedding night. tftc
Kestal and I headed south from Toowoomba on a numbers grab for her next milestone...a total of 57 required...it was a case of see how we go as to whether the numbers would add up today to accomplish her own personal challenge or another trip would be required. There were quite a few on her list that I had already found but I was happy to play chauffeur so she could accomplish her goal. By 11am we were surprised how well we were doing and decided to go for the "big one". A fun day was had and my thanks goes to you for the part you played...apologies for the generic log. TFTC Team Robins.
Eskies5 and I planned a trip to Stanthorpe and surrounding areas to nudge me a little closer to a milestone. This was the fifteenth stop of what would be 58 finds for the day for me. Found this cache at 8:49am with not a problem. All signed and returned. TFTC
Out for a day's caching from Stanthorpe to Dalveen and beyond, most were easy finds while a couple took a bit of searching to find

8857 Located by baby&Mrs gopher ( We also sign as bMg on small log sheets ) at 1135 .Cache in good condition. SL Tnx Team Robins.
I tripped, I stumbled, I fell then got stabbed by a log. Whoops! Team Ireland- BOOYAH!
It was a good caching day today and we picked up some more smiley faces for our map, along with ilook4geo. We found more caches in a few different series and only had one DNF to spoil the day. Each of the caches had the log signed, usually as GP2 and ilg. Each container was then put back into place as it had been found. Our thanks go to Team Robins for placing this cache and adding to the fun of the game.
Caching along mostly very quiet country roads today with goingplaces2 gave a really good result for the day. Logs were signed, caches were put back and we were soon headed off to the next find. Thanks for this cache.
Our last here at Stanthorpe befotre heading down to Queanbeyan for the 2019 Mega. It has been great, but with mixed success. Didn't achieve as much of the Stan's Apple puzzle series smileys as we would have hoped but we will pass this way again and will pickup and redo those ones that we missed. Hard to navigate when you get a phone call through the car's stereo and you are pointing where to go. Luckily no accidents and we managed to park at least 30mtrs away for me to walk into the gz. Found, stamped and off course the now 20 mtrs and the geo wife was kind enoughto drive a little closer.

On my way home from Armidale and stopped off to collect a few caches on the way. Quick find, log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC
Sorry for the generic logs but there are so many caches in this area and there are only so many things you can write. We have loved caching our way here and around the area. We are only here for a day or two so not sure how many will will get done, but we will do our best. Thank you to each and every CO for the effort that has been needed to place and maintain the caches that we were fortunate enough to make it to. Thanks.
TFTC. Nice quick find on my way home from Brisbane. Took a bug on journey with me
After a tiring day out both the iPad & us were getting a little fuzzy. Lovely spot to stop. Kutgw
Thanks for the cache Team Robins
We are staying overnight in Stanthorpe and decided this was a good day to do the fruit run series and any others that may cross our path
Thanks for showing us a bit of Stanthorpe and the surrounds

Tftc Team Robins, enjoyed our 40 metre walk from the caravan. Parked up for the night, wine tasting, wine buying & then a Cache. We liked the guardian, he wasn’t worried about us at all. Log in good order, signed & returned.
TFTC... 30/9/17. On the hunt in unfamiliar territory with Tough Mothers. Lots of smileys on offer, this is one of them.
Found with REMSJW, jemillalucy, mnance101, and bennyboppers. We are also known as the Tough Mothers as sogn in as tm x 5
Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers, Misssusan79, Remsjw, and Jemillalucy). TFTC!

It’s brekky time at Vincenzo’s after attending a Christmas in July dinner in Warwick last night, our first stop on our annual Stanthorpe wineries and ‘fineries’ testing, tasting and re-stocking run. Coffee ordered, check, breakfast ordered, check, a cache within walking distance while our meal is prepared, check. Wander off to do the cache while Mrs R-F and muggle friends wait for the meal to arrive. GPS fix started to wander around a central point, a quick look in the general direction instead of head down bottom up and there was a classic cache hiding spot, a quick look and retrieve and another cache added to the tank of the Roaring Ford
We took nothing but memories; we left nothing but footprints and our tag.
The hide is excellent, the container is good nick and the log is ready for the next finder.
Thanks for the cache Team Robins.
Cheers

I set out bright and early this morning for a day of caching, but not before I'd kidnapped a geo-guru on my way through Toowoomba, to be my chauffeur, and to find a few he had yet to get further south. It was a big day and a good day. Found this one and signed the log, thanks for the cache!
Reasonably accurate coordinates and the cache name led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Team Robins for the cache.
8:42:00 AM. A good driveby and log signed with Griffo. Continued down the road with the caravan which in the end wasn't a good idea and I had to back track back out. Oh well, next. Thanks Team Robins for the cache.
We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Thanks for the fun Team Robins!
Thanks for the fun Team Robins!
Parked by gz & quickly found the cache, all the while feeling like we were being watched by a nearby caravan of folk. Our concern about stealth was unwarranted as turns out these travellers are geocachers too. Always nice to meet other teams! Tnsl tftc TR

Found with sesblocker.
Great coords made for a quick find. Beautiful arvo for caching. We might have to come back for the cellar door,

This is one cache out of many caches on our third day of our long caching weekend.
Long weekend - perfect timing to geocache around Stanthorpe and clear up some green dots. Nadine1989 is in the company of Mr and Mrs RoddyC.
This cache was found on day 2, and was found on our way back to our accommodation in Warwick. Strangely, we parked at the end of a side street and walked to GZ only to discover there was parking available at the side of the highway. But then again , we are geocachers![:o)]
Log signed & replaced again. Found at 3.55pm on 2nd October, 2016. TFTC
Went on a caching trip back on August 28/29 2016. Did over 350 caches over the weekend and only managed to log the rest of it now. The girls took me out for a bday weekend caching. Found with chasing adventures and Thehinds of the Triple threat crew
Day 2
A wonderful weekend away in Stanthorpe resulting in 374 finds, including 22 mystery (Stanthorpe Apple) and 1 Earthe cache. I hoped to log each individually as I usually would but the tyranny of time prevents me from continuing to try and achieve this goal. A big thank you to all the Stanthorpe CO's. We said many times we wish we had more consolidated trails in Brisbane. TFTC
