Almost the Last Bend up Gympie, Queensland, Australia
By Sweet-Sour on 23-Sep-18. Waypoint GC7QYW1

Random car by the geo. Found and logged.Day 4 of our 4 day anniversary road trip to Maryborough and out West. Lots of adventure to be had with my love SCAHPA. Log signed as CS & SC to save time and room - Trademark skeleton animals sticker left in cache - TFTC, effort time and maintenance

This guy got so close to the gz but just didnt make it. TFTC Found with my sweetheart ChasingShadows43. Signed as CS+SC

Almost the Last Bend up was transferred from Sweet-Sour to user youngoldfella

After spending the night in town and dining out at the local pub it was time to get out and do colorectal the local area. I am working on a local challenge at home that requires cache numbers in Local government areas and so I need another 80 or so in the Gympie area.This area is rich with caches so off I go. Arriving at ground zero I found a safe place to park the geowagon and off I go. I quickly found ground zero and located the cache. After extracting the log and making my mark I quickly returned to the geo wagon in search of my next adventure.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.Cheers

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. [:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Sweet - Sour [^]

What better way to spend a weekend in the middle of the week, out caching with with Gem_54, who was stocked up with spare containers, zip lock bags and log sheets for replacements if needed.

It's a much better hide here. Soon had what we were after.Signed

Happy new year! Tftc!

Our journey south begins, somewhat reluctantly as we have been enjoying the warm weather and we know it is still cold and wet in Victoria.
It was only a short journey from Maryborough to Kilkivan but some well placed caches with good parking enabled us to collect caches on the way. There was only one we had to pass as we could not find a place to pull up. Lots of traditionals, but good sizes and in great condition.
On arrival at Kilkivan we set up camp and had some lunch before heading off to complete the Adventure Lab in town. Then is was off up one of the trails on Mudlo Road through the National Park and beyond. Some great countryside and worth the trip. Again good sized caches in the main in good condition. We got to use our TOTT we are becoming more proficient with but missed one that seemed to be gone.
A big day again, so we both should sleep well tonight!

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Sweet-Sour.

Quick find! Thanks for the hide!

No tennis today so the next best thing to do is to go geocaching with friends Peppa and TMZ59. Decided to chase down caches for a few challenges we have been working on on this road trip.
TMZ59 was able to park very close to GZ so it was not long before we found the cache. SL then returned as found.

Found on 2 June 2022. TFTC, Sweet-Sour.

Found cache and signed log. Returned cache as found. Out with patrol14 and Peppa. Beautiful day for finding a cache or two. We have a list and we will follow it. . Peppa keeps telling me they aren’t park and grabs, but isn’t 5metres close enough. TFTC.

Out for the day with Patrol14 and TMZ59 in the Habanero Sport chasing select caches to help us with a range of challenges…

Mudlo Road is rich in targets for us, but it’s taken over 4 hours to get here from Nanango… there was one or two caches along the way…

Once again TMZ59 got the Habanero Sport as close as possible… just a little bit of off roading…

Tftc…

This is about where the road just kept going up and the tredley kept chugging along.
I sure wasn't expecting the gravel road to become bitumen again in the national park.
This was such a fun downhill ride afterwards. Weeeeeeee.
I could so do that again.
Thanks sweet-sour for taking me up here with a geocache.

Good hide. TFTC

Hoofed it up and down this hill. Found this hide through the spear grass and cobblers pegs. Thanks SS

After camping overnight in Kilkivan I headed out this morning along Mudlo Rd. Another great country drive with good containers and good coords, which always makes the experience nicer.

No problems finding the caches and once the logs were signed all were returned as found.

If a cache needed attention that was done too.

Thanks to the CO's for placing a great series in this area.

This was the last for me today and I'll have to return for the one I left behind. The day use area had no parking so just as easy to return.....I love lantana

TFTC Sweet-Sour

found it tftc

Time to get back down to business, hit the road & rack up some more smilies to spread warmth & happiness throughout the land.
Knocking up the numbers doesn't hurt either!
Kilkivan & surrounds were our target areas this run.
Day #2.
#21 of 55 smilies today.

NICE!
Sneaky but nice!
Quick find.
Blends in nicely.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Hi there Sweet-Sour.

We found your cache **"Almost the Last Bend up"** today. (This makes our find count 25572).

Another day caching the Kilkivan area. It was a really nice drive today, made even better by not having to wade through long grass to find the caches. Our tally today was 27 caches & 0 DNF's.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Day 2 of the New Year event at Kilkivan. Having a wonderful time meeting new cachers as well as catching up with some old faces.
Today Ms Maddy, TripleTurmoil, CHAMAD and myself piled into the car and headed out for some new caches, and to collect some oldies. There were a couple of things which happened today, these will remain firmly implanted for quite a while to come. These events added to a super fun day with great caches and fantastic company.
This was a quick find, log signed, cache replaced as found.
Thanks Sweet-Sour for the cache.

After a big day of caching yesterday and a good night sleep it was time to do it all over again. The plan today was to grab some caches along Mudlo road and get a couple of ftf’s. Same team as yesterday and Willis007 offered to drive, we also had a new inclusion, 4Hawkers joined us today. A fun morning and a lot of chatter along the way as these three girls can talk alot, lol.

The trip was entertaining, the variety of caches was nice and they were all found in good condition, the scenery was varied and spectacular along this road; what an awesome area, thank you.

Thank you to all the CO’s for placing caches along this road, I really enjoyed the drive along here and finding your caches.

Quick find with chamad. Willis007 and MissMaddy

Went for a bit of a hike at Mudlo National Park, and couldn't resist collecting a couple of caches for the day. Easy spot to pull off to go looking. Quick collection, and back down to the car before being sprung.
Logbook signed. TFTC

Mrs Woodyrothwell asked if I was going to lock the car while we walked the 30 metres to the cache. Seeing the keys were in it, the motor was running and my wallet was just hanging out I thought it was overkill.

My wife must have a bit too much city-esque about her because she doesn’t realise that crims don’t head out on dirt roads. Unless of course they are looking to steal a cow because they don’t know what KFC is made of. tftc

A lovely drive out along this country road collecting caches and we have started at the end working our way back to Kilkivian. Cache found, log signed and replaced as found. Thanks to the CO’s for placing all these caches.

My driving instructor always gets mad at me. All I do is drive him around the bend! TFTC

That was hard but we found it

Tftc sweet-sour, in Kilkivan for a few days to collect as many caches as we can. Thanks for placing. Mudlo Rd today.
Relatively quick find here.

Another of sweetsour’s rock hides - well it does make it easy Signed log kingfisherau 7:45 am 7/10/20 and replaced all as found,

First full day of exploring Kilkivan and caching after MTB ride deferred

Ventured into town for coffee then out and around Mudlo N.P. Some signal probs so apols for the generic logs

Quick find here if a steep climb TFTC

Out caching for the day cycling from Kilkivan out on the quiet Mudlo Road, a great ride through the national park and rural properties with a couple of steep climbs to make a good day. . Thanks Sweet-Sour for the cache.

While staying in Gympie for a few days with my Geodog Scruffy, we had to get out and find some caches in the area.

All Good .. TFTC ..

I found your cache with my Dad, Oddiewan and most of the time, Semik. I am way behind on logging so learned how to use templates so I can catch up. Sorry this is not a detailed log, but I will do better with my logging now that I have the ability to log caches on a mobile phone. Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour

Caching with my main squeeze, Oddiewan and our youngest cacher, BitternA4. Came up to catch up with caching friends at the unofficial-official Newbies Caching Event in Kilkivan.

There’s Perfectly good sheltered hiding spot 6m below the cache if you ever need to shift the cache. I went there first then saw I had 6more meters to go.

Thanks for the fun, Sweet-Sour

We received an invite to attend the unofficial official newbies caching event in Kilkivan. So we thought why not.

Having found the oldie up the road, MIss 16 and I had enough light left to collect a few more smilies on our way to Kingaroy for the night. We enjoyed the variety of hides and containers along the road, and the opportunity to break up our drive. Tftc Sweet-Sour

It's like it says. TFTC

On the way back to work, I spend a few hours around Kilkivan doing geocaching.

Thanks for the fun!

Amazing area, #77

Lovely drive in forest

Catching up on some logging for the last day of the year while hunting for caches out of the Kilkivan area with ilook4geo. This was one of the caches we found on a day that started out with fine misty rain. That soon cleared up and the hunt went on. All logs were found to be in good condition, as were the containers. Thanks go to Sweet-Sour for this cache placement.

Today started out a bit cooler, so it was cache hunting time again with goingplaces2. Found a good selection around Kilkivan to add lots more smileys to the map. Log was signed, job done! TFTC.

Caching with RoddyC and NightParrots while attending the Kilkivan Newbies/New year events and cleaning up areas as we go.

TFTC. Day 3 of our caching trip away from our Bundaberg housesit. We shifted camp from Goomeri to Kilkivan where we are camped at Weir Oval. The route today was to go out on Muldo Road and then stop and relax, but that never happened we kept going . Had a great day 43 attempted and found. Thanks to the COs for helping us to enjoy the area. All caches were relatively quick finds.

Found while staying in the kilkivan area for about a week before heading for the big smoke down south. Having noticed that there was a lot of new caches placed in the area I set about converting some of them to smileys. This is of of the many I have found so far. All were easy find with no maintenance issues. TFTC

Found Ok

This was day one of our geocaching trip around Kilkivan. We love these country drives. All caches were in good condition and fairly easy finds. Thanks Sweet-Sour.

Thanks for the great Caches and adventure Sweet-Sour

Nice and quiet here, just the odd honeyeater call and a Male whip bird in the distance. TFTC Sweet-Sour.

2nd day of our stay. Up the Mudlo Road in the morning!

Spending a hopefully not too hot or too wet weekend in Kilkivan. Trying to get a couple of smilies, as we could not attend the recent event.

Thanks to all COs for your efforts to place these caches.

Almost missed this one. TFTC

Tuesday. After driving past this cache on the run up the road, we made sure to stop on the way back and collect this one. This one was a nice quick find and we soon had our names in the log. … how did all these rocks get here…

This was the 18th of 21 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Sweet-Sour***, for showing us this place.

My back was still playing up, but not too bad when I woke up this morning. So I headed off to meet up with Slow Puncture to do the caches along Mudlo Road. We had missed the parking spot for this one on the way up the road. On our way back, we were more alert and managed to park safely off the road. At GZ, the cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

Thank you for all these caches you guys place. Really enjoyed this event. If available will be back for the next. TFTC Sweet- Sour

We’re in Kilkivan for the New Year Event and headed out to find some of the new caches in the district. Mudlo NP is such a lovely area.
Our GPS wanted us 11m further ‘over there’ but we spotted it.
Thanks heaps for the cache and adding to the enjoyment of our Kilkivan stay.

Attending the 2018/2019 caching event at Kilkivan for the weekend. As I had placed 47 hides it was only proper that I could also find a few placed by either Sweet-Sour or PB1973. Quick find in good company. TFTC Sweet-Sour

We, being Goblindust and ourselves headed over to the New year day event at Kilkivan. It was a good catch up and there was the bonus of plenty of new caches to find. We thoroughly enjoyed finding this cache, the area around here is so pretty and the Mudlo National Park was certainly worth a visit. Thankyou Sweet-Sour for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

Rose early after being woken in the swag, and headed up Mudlo to make some finds on these new caches. The wet grass soon had my boots and socks soaked, but it was still fun.

Thanks for placing all these and giving us the opportunity to find them.

Absolutely loved this series. The scenery was a hidden gem that I know we will be back for. Using the list provided by the event holders from the Kilkivan New Year catch-up event we made our way along this road through the undulating national park. Joint **FTF** while in town for the Kilkivan NYE event.

Drove up from Canberra to Caloundra, to stay with my parents for the Christmas school holidays.
While I was up here I also went to Kilkivan for the New Year Cache Up event/weekend.
This was the first day of caching for the event - today I headed out with Grannysmith1947 (and her Geodog - Millie), to find this bunch of caches that were listed for today (Sat 29th).
TFTC - another joint FTF
Found with GC app on my phone - worked perfectly ... with a "saved for offline" list ... lol

Found whilst attending the nearby event in Kilkivan so why not find a cache or 2 always love getting out to the country and some fresh air.
