Decided to spend the day caching and I had been eying off the Farm Run Series for sometime. A nice leisurely drive around the country side ensued. On a mission to Plug the Gaps in my Finds by Found Date calendar and this find helps there as well. Off and running. Quick find.TFTC. TNLN. SL. TBs Prado Owl , Leap Frog Race - Motorbike and Scarface visited.Find # 1789.
We had a lovely drive around the country roads today finding the caches in this series, this is one we found and the information was collected for the bonus. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks for the series MalDawg.
Failed on this one. We're on a joyride out to Karara, and are stopping for geocaches, but alas this one's a sad face....

Spending some time in Warwick and visiting local areas combined with a lovely walk up Mt Mitchell.
Enjoyed venturing around further up the countryside, and it looks like a town progressing well with lots of new housing.
Thanks MalDawg for placing this nice little section of caches. All were neat hides.

We stayed a long weekend in Toowoomba for 2 events, for caching, for hiking down the hell hole track and for qualifying for the Garden City Challenge.
So this series was in our mind to do. It was a quiet drive through farmland and we found all 20 of them. Sorry for the generic log.

Up in Toowoomba with DisSister and Skydragon for a weekend of caching and events. Today’s focus was on the marvellous kayak caches at Old Talgai, followed by a smattering of puzzles and other hides on the way back to an event at the golf club. TFTC, MalDawg. =^.^=
Well today was going to be a big day. I had planned to meet up with Willis007 and we were going to do some paddle caches before a CITO event. Then quickly after the Cito get away so as we had time to collect a few other target caches in the area and a few as we passed by. I still needed an adventure lab in there somewhere and a multi or a letterbox.
We are now working our way towards a particular cache and towards Toowoomba for an event. The farm run series was just for me today as my buddy had already found these a while ago. They are nice easy finds thank you. I signed the log and replaced as found and then continued on to the next one, thanks for the hide.

After a lovely morning paddling along the Condamine River and attending the CITO, chamad and I headed further afield to collect some caches in the area. Was great to avenge a previous DNF here, the guard rail was lying on its side on the ground, in pieces, when I was last here.
Thanks MalDawg for the cache.
Thanks MalDawg for the cache.
After attending a nearby event and group paddle on the Condamine, we were making our way back to Toowoomba and decided to stop off at any caches we passed along the way. This one took us a little longer than expected but DragonSky managed to make the find. Thanks MalDawg
Stopped here right at GZ after turning just along the road. The vegetables growing would probably have tasted good, but were a little bit small to make a salad. Found the container easily and collected the answer for A, as well as adding to the log sheet. TFTC, MalDawg.
An early-morning bike ride
Took me right alongside
A number of these
So I thought I would seize
As many of them as I could find!

Replaced after consult with CO. Slowly working our way back to Cairns after attending Qogm 2022. Did your Farm Run No. 1 - Eat your Greens today. 24 October 2022 3:49 pm Tyfc MalDawg total caches now 5977 .
Is this really a DNF or should it be disabled[?] Bit confusing given the final says this cache is missing.
I'm a traffic controller working on this road. A little smoko break fun.

A morning/lunch time visit to the rail museum at Draytion, gave us a good excuse to head home via Cambooya and Felton, and find more hides. Today was a "must cache"day for us, to start completing our grid three times over. Our plan for today was 2 caches, we ended us with 6. Got to be happy with that.
Decided after our first two finds, to make a start on the Farm Run series.
Chatting and admiring the view, I entirely missed GZ by roughtly 500 metres, so turning back, we parked as close as we could to the given coordinates.
Now, I knew it would be "somewhere" between"here" and"there", so followed my compass to "somewhere" aned started looking in all the obvious spots between "somewhere"and "there". to no avail. So decided to return to "somewhere"and start searching from 'somewhere" to "here". On turning around, I spotted Mr D chatting with WallabyWanderer Tim, who had already found the cache in its original form.
While Mr D searched all the spots I had already check out, WWT and I returned to "here"checked the obvious spot and found the cache.
Retrieved the Clue, signed the book and re-hid the cache and said farewell to WallabyWandererTim
Interesting to note that the amended coordinates did not appear on the geocaching app.
Thanks for the hunt MalDawg.

Day 1 on our trip to Wangaratta Mega. Great day.
Searched and searched at GZ then decided to widen our search to fit the popular hide of the hint. Maybe the structure is longer than the old one.

Will be replacing this Cache before Christmas. Hopefully on the weekend of the 18th and 19th I will get a chance to do a Run around all 21 Farm Run Caches
A quick find while out early converting some green boxes to smiley faces. Today I decided to find as many of the Farm Run series of geocaches. TFTC.
Staying at Pittsworth for a few days to do some geocaching. This morning we headed out on The Farm Run. Most of the caches were found quite easily although we did have a couple of DNFs. Hopefully we got enough info to solve the puzzle cache.

What a difference half a year makes... while enjoying a day trip before we go back into lockdown I thought I’d turn this blue face yellow...
A nice quick find... left some American coin... tftc...

Out collecting caches with this being one of them. Great series. Our thanks to MalDawg for placing this cache series and enhancing our enjoyment of the area..
The long grass/weeds added an extra challenge to this one for pulling off the road, but otherwise a beautiful view of sunflowers today!
I overshot this one completely as my audio book was at a particularly exciting part in its story. Oh well I walked back , glad the road isn't too busy this afternoon. There is an unattractive dead something nearby which didn't do much for the local ambiance. Tftc

Thursday. Quick find on this cache for us on our way to Leyburn. Hope there was no hint in this one, as I forgot to check.
This was the 1st of 3 caches found on this outing.
Thanks ***MalDawg*** for showing us this place

Out and about caching today, while staying up in Toowoomba. Enjoyed finding the Farm Run Series of caches out in the countryside. TFTC's MalDawg
Out for the day on a trip to Pittsworth and beyond collecting Smileys as we went, quick find here

A bit cooler today and decided to do the Farm Run circuit. Logged 19 of the caches as one was missing, and skipped a clue (somewhere) so the puzzle is on hold. Didn't log these caches in a logical order but enjoyed the country drive
Attached a photo taken near one of caches of a handmade sign I really liked. Yes it is fine!!!
Wishing everyone love, light and laughter over the summer hols!

A perfect Spring day for a Farm Run trail while at Toowoomba.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache MalDawg,

On our way to QOGM (Blackall) day 15 of our trip. 9 caches for the day and 473 for the trip.TFTC
Had the day off from work so the plan was to complete the farm run series! Took the Geopup out for a drive and knocked them off one by one. Enjoyed the drive around, thanks for all the caches MalDawg!
When I first started caching, I found most of the original Farm Run series. I still have three smileys from that time. As I really enjoyed the ddrive way back when, I decided that I would find the new caches too. Ooooh! There are clues for a final too! Bonus!! This cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC
In Toowoomba for the weekend and had the Farm Run series for our first day. It was a great afternoon and all caches were easy finds and information was collected. Thanks MalDawg for the time and effort of placing this series.
We are in Toowoomba early for Brother Colin’s event on this weekend. We decided that this series of caches would bring us out for a great drive in the country on this truly magnificent day. We really enjoyed the drive and thank you MalDawg for placing these caches. We remembered to pick up the needed information at each cache when we signed the log. Thank you for a great time finding these.
Cheers and happy caching!

Staying in Pittsworth for a showjumping comp and had looked at this trail before leaving home. No comp today so after we set up we decided to do this first road of it. Nice quick finds all the way. We finished the first bit of road and decided to do the rest as they are such lovely easy finds. TFTC - sorry for generic logs.
Nice drive in the country while we are attending a showjumping event at the showgrounds. TFTC
We found some of this series about 5 years ago and we revisited them today in order to collect some numbers needed for the bonus cache.
This was our first find in this series today. Quick and easy.
Acres of sunflowers nearby are ready for harvest.
Thanks for this cache MalDawg. All nice and dry here.

With what was going to be a fun one day event with HippyDonna, turned into an epic four dayer as we were trying to keep our grandson & my MIL happy on alternating days.
Ok let’s go! Mum, MrGravel and grandie boy in the car, cooler full of goodies and we are on our way!

Woke up this morning to Mrs VC asking if I was up for a trip west to 'potentially' visit friends & maybe grab a cache or 30.
WHY NOT! LOL …
Grabbed Winter the Geo-Cat & we all piled into the Geo-Beast.
The friends were out so a-caching we will go!
Our quickest find so far today, right where expected.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
