Judging by the litter and tracks around the site, this area has an infestation of the species of muggle known as Bogan Redneckus .

Given that the cache container is missing, I will archive, and relocate the cache a couple of hundred metres up the road.

Well I never !! Razz
I've heard about this strange sybiotic relationship somewhere before.
Today I discovered where it happens Big Grin

And yet another reminder of how big an impact one species is having on all others !! [:o]
No wonder Mother Nature has concocted another way to keep US in check Smile

Thanks for a fun cache find [^]
Have a fave dance Razz

Out for a day of caching to celebrate Caro's b'day.
Who is calling me a looney[?]
I am the normal one of the group, it is the other people in this car, Caro, Brother Colin and Wallaby wannabies, that I am worried about.
A quick find by one of our team as I stepped over it and kept walking. of the group of the loonies.
Thanks for the cache

An interesting spot, I stopped by with WallabyWanderers, Brother Colin and Grand Poobah as we made our way south on my birthday caching drive. I took something, left somethings and of course signed the log. Big Grin Thanks for the cache, AlmostNermal!

Really? A random sign that everyone would drive past at 100km/hour...well not quite everyone. Us geocachers love a good education and this was a great place to stop and find info we otherwise never would have known! Fun was had wearing thongs and slip sliding making my way from the car back to GZ after we stopped a little too far down the road. Love country caches thanks!

Must have rained a lot out this way. Lots of water on the sides of the roads and in the paddocks. Didn't get to see any of the rare butterflies, unfortunately. The container is in great condition. TNLN TFTC.

Butterflies are a personal fave of geomum. Interesting info on the sign, which we read several times as a diversion as muggle vehicles kept passing by. We definitely saw lots of ants, but sadly no butterflies (well not outside of the cache). Cache is well stocked with appropriately themed items. Left a little butterfly of our own, thought it might feel at home here. Great cache!! Fav from geomum. Tftc AlmostNermal

6949. Located by baby&Mrs gopher in company with kandg at 0950. We arrived in Clifton yesterday and made plans for a drive today around the area. After reading the information plaque it was time to SL. What a great way to make us aware that these special little butterflies are endangered. Took TB's. Tnx AlmostNermal

Found this cache while out on a drive with our geo friends, baby&Mrs gopher. Quick easy find. Thanks for the cache.

Was not able to drop one of the TB initially due to an accidentally drop off at another location. It is now back on track and hopefully on the move soon
 
07-Jan-18
Thanks for this one decided to go for this one on a hot day. Dropped off two TBs and took nothing

The holidays are here and that means our runs can be a little longer to help fill the calendar. Its great to have a few extra caches in the area to grab to help out. Eskies5 and I left home early and headed out to Leyburn to grab this one. What amazing little spot for these beautiful creatures. Nice quick find once we were at GZ

Calendar filling AGAIN was the motivation of today's trip...Tba to Leyburn for just one cache. Great idea for a cache highlighting this spot and for that I am giving it a fav point. Thanks for making me stop. TFTC AlmostNermal.

Out today for a bit of a drive to find a cache or two. Big Grin
I am only the third person to find this cache. Surprised
A quick find with little traffic to worry about. Big Grin
The information sign is a great idea. Thanks for bringing me here. Cool
Left a TB.
Thanks for the cache.

I had finished the caches and maintainence in Toowoomba so time for a 55klm drive. Nice quite drive to GZ. Quick find once I had walked to the sign. Thanks for the FTF flag. I hope this one lasts as it is close to the sign. I recovered very well and the area looks undisturbed. Found at 1330. Now to drive back to Toowoomba and wait till 1745 so I can go to the event. Good quality container and one of favourites to both find and hide. All good. TFTC AlmostNermal
