Unable to source a suitable container, so once again, to please the geocaching gods (reviewers and CHS) this one bites the dust.

Looks like this one has gone. I will replace it when I can source a suitable container.

Drove to GZ but sadly couldn’t find anything.

Found Thank you.

We came looking for your cache, Bundyrumandcoke, on our way caching towards this year's QOGM in Barcaldine.

Took a guess at where it would be but mechanically could not locate it.

12:13 PM on September 16, 2018. TFTC.

Gladstone & Tannum Sands area. Day 2
Today we toured the area following the geocache trail, finding a good variety of locations & caches.
Luckily we had googled earth this before leaving home, found the correct road in & drove to the cache. Great container.
Thanks for placing this cache Bundyrumandcoke

Have a 4wd so thought we would go check this one out cool container tftc

Sooooo many mosquitoes! Tftc

An easy walk of 600m. A nice cache container. TFTC

Very clever idea TFTC

For this one i would not say it is small but realy good hiding spot.

A geocaching roadtrip is an amazing thing. It takes lots of preparing, planning and pre puzzling to ensure time on the road is maximised. I have to say I exhibited none of these attributes as we readied ourselved for this roadtrip. I was fortunately joined by the energizer bunny (seffnjarah) and the Square Jawed Mountain Man (Crookedpete) who both like to prove how capable they are as the alpha males of the Bromance. While there is often much chest beating and tantrums, we manage to remain positive and end up with a good plan of attack.
We set off on Friday lunch time (so CP had time to make himself pretty) and returned late Sunday nigh, traveling some 2000klms, approx 70 caches of varying D/T Ratings, in just on 54 hours. Sadly there were a few DNF's (which some of the team took harder than others), but we saw many different cache styes, and some amazing places. Thanks to all the CO's who placed these caches for us to find.
Lucky we had the 4WD for this one, though I know our driver was puckered tight as we went closer to GZ! I do love these old railway lines.

We grabbed this one early on day 2 of our caching road trip from Brisbane to Rocky and all manner of interesting places in between.

Having found the correct entrance from the main road and noted (but avoided) the bee hives and their security measures, Seffnjarah was able to park within a few metres of the cache. Made this one into a park and grab.

Thanks Bundy.

After finally finishing our first day of caching and setting up camp at 1.30am this morning, a 5.30am wake up call had us packed up and on the road again on the hunt for more caches on our target list, including this one. Having read the logs prior to our visit I had a good idea what to expect and was able to locate the entry point and get the car right up to GZ. Didn't take long for the cache to be located and the log signed. Was glad of a nice turning area a little further along the trail - would not have liked to have reversed all the way out! TFTC

A day out with Temingi driving over the sleepers a bit rough tftc

Gotcha !!! TFTC Visited TBs and GCs on a days caching with Ned and Mrs Kelly. Also managed to lose my mobile somewhere between home and Gladstone so was unable to ring the CO.

Just checking this one out at the moment. Please only enter via the entrance suggested, and do not turn right at the main track, towards the bee hives. There are concrete blocks on the ground, do not pass them. Turn left only on the main track, the old railway line, and follow it to your goal. There are currently no bee hives between the entrance and GZ, so you and I should not have any issues, provided you respect the bee keepers hives and stay away from them. There is a sensor line across their side of the track near the white concrete blocks. Dont trip it. After the christmas break, I will be confirming the legal accessibility of GZ.

Cheers

This is the coolest container I have seen. TFTC....and the walk.

A nice walk for the afternoon to finish our geocaching for the day. Thanks for the cache and a cool container. However we took a different entrance to the track which was not well received by the owners of the bees. There's motion detecting cameras & the owners will come & interrogate you, so stay away from the bees.

I will have to investigate the bee hive owners issue. As far as I knew, access is all OK here, perhaps the bee hives have been moved since cache placement. Please use the suggested access on the cache page.

Great spot thanks for the cache

Found it, gorgeous cache. We took a slightly longer walk than most probably do, slight navigation error :$. But it's a nice spot to stroll, said g'day to the bees, all very hard at work of course. Then on to the cache. Easy find. Live how you've made the container. Did a swap and signed log. Tftc

Headed in on the track & right on target cache was spotted by 'J'. Loved the container. TNLN SL As has previously been mentioned, if you continue along to the end of the track there's an easy spot to turn around! Thanks for another great cache.

Fantastic Cache... quite a journey. TFTC

A great lil adventure and a funny big cache. Tftf

Found it

Found Ok

Lovely day for a bit of offroad Boxing Day GCing - TFTC! Got a bit of a chuckle from the container too. Note, if 4WDing you can turn around if you follow the track to the railway.

Gotcha!

Kids loved the container on this one. Thanks Bundy. Cheers

I had some spare time this morning so I decided it was time for some Geocaching.... I really should have read the description properly but I didn't (stupid) after buzzing out the road in Geosons ZukCacheMobile and slowing at where I was closest to GZ I very quickly discovered that wasn't a very smart thing to do, lucky for me there was no traffic so I carried on past and stopped down the road a little further, where I had a proper read of the description and discovered wise Bundy had thought of the potential Hazard and advised of an entry point to get you where you need to go
Geoson's ZukCacheMobile was in it's element here and bounced happily down the track to GZ where the name of this Cache became clear.

TFTC Bundy

Nice hot day to find a geocache in Gladstone she thinks as she ducks out of work at lunch time in a FTF attempt (as some good fellows would say "could be worse...could be stabbed")
Water bottle in hand and eyes on the look out for slithering things I found the path easily off the waypoint. Geronimo! Cache soon in hand, needs some tlc from geocachers whilst retrieve/replacing. Tftc Bundyrumandcoke!
