Robin's Nest Maryborough, Queensland, Australia
By Liz and Bruce on 01-Aug-17. Waypoint GC79XG4

The cafe named Robin's Nest has closed and the area is not being maintained.

Heading to Liz and Bruce's event at the RV homebase. just had to find a few caches on the way.

A very easy find,
Co-ords spot on
TFTC Liz and Bruce

Logged this one as a DNF the other day but for some reason the DNF did not register.
Anyway today at the cache event we did sign the log with permission from the cache owners.
Thanks Liz and Bruce

Thanks!

My caching buddies are Oddiewan

Having a fine weekend up in Maryborough. The weather could not be more perfect. There are so many caches here to be found. Thank you for hiding the cache to allow us to enjoy this lovely region.

Nice easy find.

Look up!! Solid cache!

Quick find while at the markets .

Hi there Liz and Bruce. This morning was for cache hunting while this afternoon is for shopping in and perhaps some caching in Maryborough. This cache was a quick find and the container and the log are dry and quite useable. SL, TN, LN. Thanks to Liz and Bruce for this cache - our find #6746.

Good hide

Easy find

found after a short hunt. Thanks Liz and Bruce. We are in RV Home Base now. Greynomads Bill and Diana TFTC TNLN SL.

Super quick find today. Second visit. Visiting Maryborough from Perth for work. Thanks for the cache.

Tricky but good hide!

Found

A nice little find. Thanks

It’s a shame this shop is now permanently shit

We are on our way to Rockhampton with our youngest Grand daughter. Sometimes she lets us cache, sometimes she does not. Today, we had the green light.

We were dodging showers, and saw some cute electricity boxes to entertain the grandie, around the corner from GZ. So while waiting for the muggles at the ATM to move on, we took a few photos.

Once muggle free, we started searching a few places. Little miss grandie is good, but not that good. This cache was found by me!!! Some what out of her reach.

Sneaky find on Good Friday. Thanks Liz and Bruce

I am in doubt if the cache is still there.

A quick visit to Maryborough to view the outstanding WW1 memorial in Queens Park, then a walk south to try and locate Robin's Nest .No such luck and the CCTV made me nervous!

I am up in Hervey Bay visiting the family and took the opportunity to venture to Maryborough to collect some more smiley faces. This one was not what I expected and took a few minutes of searching to locate. The GPS was also bouncing all over the place, however from the name of the cache I had a good idea of the area to look in. TFTC

Eagle eyed observation skills required

GPS was all over the place couldn’t find

Sorry, no luck this time

????

A pouch it is.

Second time looking for this one.. tricky but fun! Ty

Very quick find. Had no pen but nice quick find after watching the canon being fired.

Tftc. Cheers

Like Little Red Riding Hood, don’t leave the path to find this cache. Like a joey to a kangaroo, this one stays tucked in its pouch.

Hi there Liz and Bruce.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around Maryborough today. We woke up early and started before the sun in order to beat the heat. We ended up finding a variety of containers hidden along our route.

Glad to get this one off our DNF list. Last time we were here a muggle at the ATM was there for waaay too long.

All up we found 18 caches & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia..

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Great hiding spot- very tricky and bold! Tftc

Bold indeed. could use coffee

The GPS was running me back and forth and I explored many places with my hands but not sure if I was in the right spot. Maybe I will have better luck if I come back next time.
TFTH Liz & Bruce

Did a night time reconnaissance thanks

Found easily. TFTC.

Nice hide

Good one. Pretty obvious when you eventually see it, but it took me way too long. tftc.

This one was a tricky one but me and my co-worker had fun looking for it on our lunch break. It may have taken our whole lunch break but it was well hidden.

DNF maybe its been moved ?

Tftc

Found at 9:45 AM GAFF1 in the company of Liz & Bruce.
We were all at the farmers market this morning and while the ladies were spending oodles of money Bruce and I headed over to find this cache. I got the "hot/cold" treatment from Bruce and within a few seconds a very bold hide was found. What a great coincidence to find a cache location with the same name as Team Robbins' actual "nest"
Thanks Liz and Bruce.

TFTC. With our house sit due to end in a week , we decided that a day trip to Maryborough/Hervey Bay was in order. We wanted to clear up a couple of DNFs from last week and may be do a few multis. This was the first of the DNFs that we converted to a smiley.

TFTC,
5 - 12 for today.
Sitting around after lunch with our hosts and it was suggested that we continue our conversation while doing a few local caches.
What a great way to experience some of the local points of interest.
What a clever little hide. The CO can even do a drive by to check that the contents are in the nest.
Visited trackables.

After a look around, Wazza9 noticed the container, shame that the cafe has closed. Signed log and replaced. Thanks to Liz and Bruce.

Wow found it very sleath
That good one

Another one that we felt uncomfortable searching for . Hen a few people arrived at the teller machine. We left it for another day.

It's closed

Hi there Liz and Bruce.

This is the 1st of 1 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here but we just couldn't locate your cache. We did watch a lady spend 15 minutes tapping away at the ATM though.[:(!]

Regards
Ian and Penny

We have set up camp at RV Homebase, Maryborough. We toured the area following the geocache trail.
A good variety of locations & caches. found.
Had to go back for a second look, I can't believe how many people visited this corner on a Sunday morning. PAF as the 1st visit had some agro people using the phone box close by, & we felt uncomfortable searching the area.
Team Robins whos home is called the Robins Nest are caches we met when we had only found about 23 caches. They are tireless workers for a variety of charities.
Thanks for placing this cache Liz and Bruce

We thought we had better check on this one now we are back from overseas. All good with the cache. It is there and ready to be found.

Our first ever find! Found with two kids in tow who were not giving up. It's not as hard as you think. Just look for Robin and you will find.

No luck! GPS and quite jumpy - we couldn't find it

Dnf

Our first ever find (with 4 very 'not stealthy' kids in tow). TFTF!!

We are caching around the Maryborough district while visiting with Liz and Bruce. In fact we went out for the morning doing some caching, visited the markets in town and learned some interesting details about the history of the district as well as some info about the Mary River.
The tour was very interesting and a lot of fun.
Thanks to Liz and Bruce for placing this cache.

Not Today

Here in Australia visiting from Colorado Springs. Good to be out caching with Liz and Bruce again. It is great to be able to find this cache and we are really enjoying the scenery. Thanks to Liz and Bruce for the cache.

A guided find after Easter Mass in Maryborough while visiting Liz & Bruce. Quickly signed and replaced. Thanks for the cache!

Finally second time round. Found with Hartog17. TFTC

Found with Snakepiters. TFTC ‍‍

Cache was replaced late morning yesterday.

Sad face didn’t find this one

Did not find this one

My 2nd attempt at this one, and my friend Jo found it. TFTC

TFTC

Got it

Sad face

Well that was a tricky one not what I expected at all. Right near ATM so lots of muggles pulling up all the time but luckily cafe was closed. Was about to give up texted geo hubby to say I was going to next one when when my eyes landed on it -frustration worked for me this time. TFTC

Went for Breakfast then on to do some geocaching

Up in a robin nest

Woohoo! Tftc. Quick find but good hide!

It's a shame but we couldn't find this cache. Hidden too tricky for us?
Bigerchen

Tftc nice cafe!

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

Fiancé and I on a date looking for geo cash found this one 10.11.17

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.

We were going to spend 1 more night in Bundaberg when we were excited to learn that Liz&Bruce were home so we, headed on down for an overnight catch up to learn about their most recent USA trip.

Needless to say we found a few caches today along our journey. Cute cache. Fancy there being a Robins Nest in Maryborough too!

TFTC Liz and Bruce

Second time lucky

Sad face will come back another time

Wahoo found it easy

Left Nanango at 0400 to arrive at GZ very early. Hardly any traffic around GZ so managed to find a park very close. Followed GPSr and it wanted me at a certain spot and I thought that this might not be right. So I walked North from GZ till I was well past the nest and on the way back it indicated a different potential GZ. I was looking for a micro container but what I found was not a container, in that sense, at all. glad I am not short. Very clever and cunning. A favourite point for this hide. Luck the café was closed. Left maryborough at 0655 heading North for the day.
TFTC Liz and Bruce.

Camping at the school for Fraser Coast Technology Challenge and looked last but couldn't find it so back tonight and searched for 7 or 8 mins and had the cache in hand. Sneaky hide this one was. Signed log and replaced cache as found. TFTC

Second time lucky

10 second find!

Any hints?

Tftc my very first find!! With Shimaport

Got it... thanks to Stopalot give me hint, which is never thought. Good one. TFTC

Found in the company of geomum, before I had to head down to Brisbane to fly back home to Melbourne. This cache took a little bit of searching. TFTC

On a quiet Saturday afternoon with not many muggles we found the cache. Nice one Liz and Bruce.

This was the last one on my list for Maryborough for today and I managed to find a park close by but after about twenty minutes and I was within 1 metre of GZ according to my GPSr but muggle heaven at the traffic lights and people waiting across the road to catch the bus and walking past and at the ATM . Will have to come back about 0600 next time or late at night.

First to find Easy one in a way. TFTC!!!
