Booral Park Booral, Queensland, Australia
By Sweet-Sour on 10-Nov-15. Waypoint GC64ZQZ

Nice find here. All in good condition. Our biggest challenge was finding the park. car GPS has us parked in a dead end road. Then we read the description and realised we were not in the right place. Quick check if the map had us headed in the right direction,TFTC!

I was a bit concerned that this one would be difficult to find considering the last visit was over 6 months ago, but thankfully the cache was uncovered quickly. Thanks Sweet-sour/youngoldfella!Today is day four of our Hervey Bay holiday. Today I jumped in the warthog and headed to the South-eastern corner of Hervey Bay. Stopping in Wondunna, Booral, Pir'ri reserve and River Heads. After fossicking around the mangroves I headed back north and stopped for a few more on the way home to go fishing. A great, but very warm day out!Heading north on a 5-day trip to Hervey Bay with the family has allowed me to go out and cache the surrounding area. I was able to cram the tredley into the back of the warthog and travel north, stopping a few times. Once to maintain a cache, and another to find a cache. I finally set sights on my destination, Torquay. Over the course of the few days I had, I cycled the new rail trail series of geocaches, did a combined day of shelling and caching Point Vernon, took a drive through Booral and River Heads, travelled to Howard, Torbanlea, Toogoom and Dundowran. On the final day I spot cached as I made my way south, stopping in Walligan, Susan River, Beaver Rock and Owanyilla. I then fought the southbound traffic for a while, then detoured via Yengarie and through Tiaro back to the sunny coast. All things considered, a great holiday and a productive one for geocaching! a MASSIVE thank you to all the COs that I found the caches of along the way!

Booral Park was transferred from Sweet-Sour to user youngoldfella

On my way home from Hervey Bay, stopped by for a few cache finds. This was first. A quick find. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks Sweet-Sour. All good with this cache.

Quick easy find All quiet in the park today

Well hidden under detritus but spotted the flash of the yellow lid. Left swag - Save the Bees!

We are staying at Maryborough for a short time and to help fill in our days we are exploring using geocaching as our guide. We found all the caches that we had targeted for today bar 1 and even with a PAF we had no luck.
One of hte caches bought us to the home of the CO where we had a lovely chat about all things geocaching and we were also offered a hint for the cache that we had not found. All the caches were in good condition and the log books did not need any attention. A huge thank you to all the CO's for placing these caches for our enjoyment.

Nice little hide

Thansk for the cache, All looks to be in good order with this one. Took abit of walking to get here, Nice and soggy underfoot!

This was an interesting place to find. Drove to within 30m of the cache. Miss11 went over to talk to the horses while I found the cache.

Thanks lots of kangaroos Cheers

Tftc Sweet-Sour, another park tucked away . Also plenty of Roos here.
Quick find for the cache which was in good condition.

6 yr old Daughter found it, she was so excited, left an extra treasure in it.

Found while visiting friends in the Harvey Bay area for a few days. This was a quick find and the cache was OK. TFTC.

Lots of mosquitos so we gave up

Found. Log didn’t work through GSAK. Sorry the generic log

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that i can claim the finds or not as the case may be. TFTC.

29/6/21 Staying in Harvey Bay catching up with my Parents who have travelled here for a visit. I am on holidays from Mackay. Beautiful sunny weather today. TFTC SL Cache Guardian

We decided to start today with the caches @ Riverheads, working our way up.

We enjoyed the beautiful views and areas where we had been before and where we hadn't been before.

Thanks to all COs who placed caches here.

We will come back for sure.

Here we had our lunch. Nice area.

Took a while. The hint is not accurate. TFTC though!

2 goes. Still no luck.

Found on 3rd attempt. Not where it says it was. TFTC

Sneaky hide!!! TFTC

6th cache for the day found us at this park, nice little park in a quiet setting with several kangaroos lazing around in the sun. Quick easy find. Tftc

We are house sitting in the area. What better way to discover the area than to go find some caches. TFTC.

A nice quick find here all good with the cache today. TFTC

Quite quite difficult really overgrown but eventually after a little bit of searching we finally found it Second find of the day

Nice to see some roos near GZ

Wohoo

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching on my Oregon 750t A quick find and roos spotted

Met a beautiful horse and pony. They stole a piece of our heart. Webbing at gz

Tftc. Quick find. I'm a hb local just finding the 3/4 left today. Some solo geocaching on a stormy afternoon. Perfect.

Got it TFTC

Hi there Sweet-Sour.

We are visiting Hervey Bay for a few days, and today we ranged further afield before logging some caches in the nearby suburban streets.

We found 10 caches today & DNF'd 1. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this 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:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Rather nice little spot hidden away here and I suspect used by few other than the locals. Way to go if you happen to be a local.
Thanks indeed.

Found and signed log while traveling around the country....cache was laying on the ground, we put it back where we thought it should be...TFTC

10.05am - No problems to locate and cache all good. SLTFTC

Went to the Queensland for 10 day's, landing on the Goldcoast, picking up a car rental. We spent the first 4 days staying in a nice hotel in Surfers paradise, doing all the Theme parks and some caching... While at the theme parks we got to pat Dolphins, feed Tigers etc. Then we headed up to Australia Zoo, where we booked a Tiger wall, Which was amazing, after the day at the zoo, we headed to Harvey bay, for 4 day's before heading back to the Goldcoast to return car, and catch flight home. Really loved the new Lego store at Dreamworld, went back 3 times.Tftc

Nice little park. Kids got to play while geo parents found the cache

This is our last cache for the morning, we have breakfast that needs to be eaten and kids that need to be taken to the movies.

Gps says some sort of meterage to the final destination, hmmm, no one around, let's just drive as close as possible. Well that worked, we are nearly on GZ.

We find the cache, add our name. Now it's time to grab the kids for breakfast at the beach, but not before pulling out a few bmx moves...

Found Out

**# 17371** Found on the Qld leg of our 2017 winter escape trip.
Another perfect warm winter day for a drive around near Urangan.

Over from Scotland visiting my sister who lives very close by so this cache was a must do. Thought I was very brave poking around here armed only with a geostick. Thankfully no snakes or spiders, only mozzies. Tb visited. Tftc.

We were able to drive almost to GZ for this one. What a lovely little park, and no muggles today. Thanks Sweet-Sour for showing us this area. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

Nice wander to GZ and the cache was soon found but not where the hint suggested. TFTC Sweet-Sour

Geokid proudly found this one and left a little magnet.

Nice, easy find!

Easy find thanks

Travelling around Australia and currently staying in Hervey Bay, Queensland for a few days .

So very hot here at the moment. Its been airconditioned caravan or airconditioned car! BUT today we changed that and decided to head out on the GeoBikes for a few hours.

After a fish n chip lunch Mrs Felix cycled home and Mr Felix continued on alone as the afternoon thunderstorm approached.

TFTC Sweet-Sour

Another easy find in a great spot.

Our next four caches were 4 different parks in the area - this cache we found somewhat exposed on the ground. We replaced it where we though it was supposed to be according to the hint! Park nice and quiet today.

No luck here today but enjoyed seeing the local Kangaroos. TFTC.

Found Ok

Searched for about half an hour but couldn't spot the cache. Lovely spot though. Will return...

Had a day out with Bill and Di Morgan and had fun finding this cache. We found this one without any problem. Thanks to Sweet-Sour for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location.

We are camped in the RV Homebase for a couple of days.Today we went caching with Liz and Bruce in the Hervey Bay area.
This was a delightful day trip finding many interesting caches in some remarkable area.
Found a TB here.
Thanks for placing this cache Sweet-Sour

No luck for us here. Will be back when I'm next in HVB.

Found during a hot humid afternoon in HB. TFTC Cheers

Found it at 10.20am on 13/01/2016
☺ left something .tftc.

Nice day for a few Geocaches. A bit hot today so we picked ones that would not require too much hiking! Dropped TB. TNSL. TFTC.

We are finally able to spend some time to catch up on logging our cache finds from over the last few months. We were in the area visiting Mrs Just a Trifle's sister and stopped by for a quick find before heading back home. The cache was easily located and with our name added to the log book, we were on our way.

Thank you Sweet-Sour for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Decided today was the day to conquer Maryborough and Hervey Bay and whilst at it why not Tin Can Bay and all the new ones at Gympie. Left home at 0430 and arrived home at 2030. Just over 600 kilometers of driving. Took plenty of rest and meal stops. This kind of driving and distance is not new to me. 24 finds for the day and no DNF's but came so close a few times but stayed at it. Only PAF twice. Did not get all the Gympie ones as I ran out of daylight and one particular cache , Mail box Multi, took far too much time.

I arrived at park and had a look at the distance still to go as indicted by my GPOSr and as there were no muggles in the park I decided to drive in as far as I could go and I spied approximately 15 Kangaroos. Walked towards GZ and soon had the container in hand. I was aware the last two finds were NF's so I have attached a photo of the container as proof it is still there. Not that hard to find for oldies but newbies might find it challenging. A quick find and all in good order.
TFTC Sweet-Sour.

Unable to find it today
Gz appeared to be very big.

Not all was lost, got to have fun playing on the flying fox.
A nice quiet spot too

DNF... with Doddski :-/

Out and about today with Sweet-Sour on a bit of a road trip to find more of Sweet-Sour's caches. As I am the highest finder at the moment of his caches I want to keep the title.
Another quick find here.
Thanks for the cache.

Out with my son Brother Colin, he's trying to find the rest of mine that he hasn't found, and I'm tagging along. Good opp to check on my caches.
All with the cache.

Found at 17.03hrs. Nice park and a quick grab.

FTF at 5:17pm

Finally got some time to go for this one so the geoson and I loaded into the car and off we went.

Arrived at the park in the late afternoon. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a few kangaroos happily grazing on the grass, that is til the local four legged annoying noise machines started up. These pests always ruin an otherwise nice peaceful place.

With the roos being chased away we moved to the gz and the geoson quickly spotted the cache. Opened it up to a nice fresh logbook.

Replaced it and we had a play on the playground to round out the trip.
