Calliope Country - Green Spaces #1 Calliope, Queensland, Australia
By Van I 4 on 03-Nov-15. Waypoint GC669RN

This cache no longer exists and will a bit of overgrowth in the area is no longer the safest spot for a cache hide. Thanks.

Need to check this one in the next week as it appears to have disappeared.

Had a good look around but couldn’t locate. There has been some significant gardening done recently so CO may need to check.

Grey nomads travelling around Australia in our caravan. Held up a bit due to Covid19 and major knee surgery, so currently in Queensland only, but there are plenty of caches in our home state that we have not yet found. Currently, heading north towards Rockhampton for our next house sit, so doing a little caching as we go, between visits to the beach, which I really enjoyed.
WE have spent a couple of days at Ubobo. Why are there not any caches at Ubobo? I would like to place some there, but rules do not allow me.....

So, here we are on our way from Ubobo to Calliope, we missed one cache at the lookout at the dam, the gate was closed.... So as we entered Calliope, I started counting down. 700m, 600m, 500m, 335,250, phone rings, 100m, driver can't here me counting down, we sale past the turn off point and park in the next.
Get rid of the phone caller, turn back, miss the turn again.....
Finally, near enough to GZ to turn in again (it is not easy when you are towing a 3.5t caravan) and find a lovely mown grassy park. Park the van, straight to GZ, and find a lovely piece of green. I like Green.

Nice green container is a nice green spot. Thanks for a purpose to stop Van I 4

No.2 for the day! Alftoniisla

We stopped in here on the flat for lunch break and this cache . But how many times do I park somewhere which no one around for miles, and someone pulls up next to you and lets their dogs out for a run or similar while I’m trying to find a cache RRRR.
So we had lunch and 35 minutes later they took off. A quick find after that . Signed log kingfisherau 12:00 pm 4/10/20 and replaced all as found,

1 X TB Visited ( Koko the Koala ).

Out and about with_hitam and what do we spy - another cache to add to our collection. TFTC

A day out caching around Gladstone with Silverspirit1310. Silverspirit1310 for the find. I put the wrong coords into my GPS and was off on a merry trek in the opposite direction. Thank goodness for mobile phones so I could be brought back on the right track!!

Took a while... Fell off its perch. Put it back up.

Small but obvious if still hanging around...
Was on the ground but resecured it.... TFTC

Found not where it was suppose to be. Replace it again where gps said it was.
It’s tiny

Found it close to the mark

Another find. . . Unfortunately the other half found it before me. . .2 all today.

Easy

TFTC felt good being back out looking. This one was a little tricky at first, but once i listened to my GPS and followed it it took me straight to it.

TFTC Little trickier than we thought it would be! Log book is full.

Ok

Thanks

Thanks good little hide, it's not where I thought it was!!!

Very tricky to see

Tricky to find, keep your eyes up. Micro size.

Easy find had fallen though have put back up

We travelled round Australia and we found some Caches. Today we found this Cache. Thank you for showing ! Greetings from Switzerland

While spending a couple of nights in Mount Larcom we opted for finding caches north and south if our current digs.
We drove via Ambrose, Raglan. Marmor and Bajool before heading to the coast at Port Alma. We then back tracked to Mount Larcom before heading south via River Ranch to Calliope. In total we searched for 18 caches and found 16.

I was lucky enough to spot this one after a couple of minutes searching.

Many thanks for the hide Van I 4

Day 3 of our road trip to QOGM in Blackall. Today we are caching in the Gladstone area and surrounds.
last find for the day and so much of the local area was explored.

A nice little stop and find. Thanks for placing it here.

On my way to Barcaldine for QOGM 2018 . Left Nanango at 0225 and this was the next stop of the day. Good quick find. Going to Rockhampton to meet up with RoddyC and Mrs RoddyC some time this afternoon then heading to QOGM 2018 via the coast and across to Clermont. Signed log YOF as that is what I use on small and Micro log sheets/books to save space on the paper as I tend to write on the big side. Apologies for boiler plate logs as I have a lot to write up. TFTC Van I 4

We are on our way to the Barcaldine event and Calliope was our first stop. We separated from the caravan at the rest stop and headed out to do a few caches and look around the area. We liked the variety of hides and locations and this was one we targetted and found. Thanks Van I 4

Gladstone & Tannum Sands area.
Today we toured the area following the geocache trail, finding a good variety of locations & caches.
We had a muggle on board today who had heard so much about caching but had not been out with us before. She certainly saw some different containers.
Thanks for placing this cache Van I 4

TFTC smile 3441 out and about with miss millie geodog on our way to the dam what a great town this is have had a lovely day looking for these caches Thank you Van14 for placing this cache here for our enjoyment

There seemed to be a lot of motorbikes on the road today, in exactly the wrong spot as I needed to pull over! Lots of roads that don’t exist lead to this park, according to google. Lucky I ignored google and got myself here. So, I waited for the bikes to pass, and pulled over to find the cache. TFTC Van I 4

Was easy to find. Thanks.

Thanks. Miss 10 braved the rain to find this one. Tftc

We came across your cache, Van I 4, while on our way home from a few days on the Cap Coast .

Nice quick find.

Log signed and cache replaced at 4:02 PM on May 30, 2018. TFTC.

Finally heading south. Moving today from Blackwater to Mt Larcom.

We managed to pick up a couple of caches with the van on tow, no easy feat with a 24ft van. Once set up at the caravan park, we then headed out in the GeoCruiser to visit Calliope and pick up a few more caches for the day.

Replaced cache after flooding in the area. Slightly smaller cache but in the same location. Replacing after signing the log may be a little fiddly but just relax and enjoy the serenity TY

Checking this one. It may have been washed away. Back in action soon.

Looked for a while, starting to think it has gone with the recent flooding

Another find in Calliope for me. It was very busy around the school, I cut my visit short as I did not want to get caught up in all that traffic.
Cache was out in the open, hid it a bit better so that it may live next time the lawnmover comes along
Thanks for hiding.

Found it first try

Found on ground, replaced to suspected hiding spot. TFTF

Awesome find. Found by Phoenix, Marshall and Barb.

Spotted this one from about 20 metres away, I must have been looking in the right spot as I walked up to it.
On our way past later on, heading Home, we saw another Car parked where we had parked earlier and a bunch of People walking over the Bridge, Looked to us like someone else was out Geocaching today too.. Will watch the Logs to see who it might have been (if anyone)

A beautiful Sunday and Valentines day to boot so why not go for a drive and collect a few smilies along the way. Bumped off the highway for a quick find.
Thanks Van I 4

Out for a relaxing GCing day with Stick Insect. TFTC
