The ditch had a far bit of water in it. Which made the find more interesting..Gotcha....Left something for the kids to have.. tftc and the challenge.

Had to get our grabbers out to reach this one as it had slipped in a bit far

Out for a drive on this section of road we have not had the opportunity to get to before.
Beautiful day for it too.
The creek is looking clear and running creek is living up to its name
Tftc Young old fella

No luck today with this one.

Thanks for the hide!

Got this one, tricky in the wet. TFTC

A friend mentioned making the Townsville Mega a milestone cache… I hadn’t even thought about it, but what’s a couple of hundred caches between friends…Hence the reason TMZ59, Patrol14 and I are hitting Kilkivan and surrounds…

I was dropped off at the southern end of the ditch and followed to the cache by the car… putting my phone down was the mistake here… so many ants… you’d think we were in the country or something…

Tftc… I used all my years of sporting experience to leap the ditch back to the car…. Much to the amusement of my companions…

Found cache and signed log. Returned cache as found. Getting a few caches to get some numbers up to get a milestone whilst in the Ville. Out with patrol14 and Peppa. Fantastic day, lots of laughs and adventure. TFTC.

Day out with Peppa and TMZ59 caching in and around Kilkivan to get our numbers up to maybe reach a milestone at the MEGA.
Able to negotiate the water hazard and decide which side to look from we made a quick find. SL then returned as found.

Found on 4 April 2022. TFTC, youngoldfella.

Found it with pippahiccup

On a road trip to Brisbane for an early Christmas with the family. Thanks for helping us break up the trip!
A beautiful drive along this road! Some low crossings with water over it, but the scenery was worth it!

Ta

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.
#48 of 55 smilies today.

Had to exercise some roadside TLC before hunting for this one.
Mrs VC had lost some bark on her right forearm at the last cache & needed some love ... and a bandaid!
Then I sent her in!
Quick find.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Gotcha !!! On our way to the Sunshine Coast. TFTC

Hi there youngoldfella.

We found your cache **"Across the Ditch"** today. (This makes our find count 25608).

Back to start some more cache trails from Kilkivan. Today's plan was to head north up Running Creek Road and then continue on to Brooweena - Woolooga Road

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 44 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:** Either a smiley badge or a gold coin

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Today we are back at Kilkivan doing a couple of our favourite pastimes, cycling and geocaching, heading along Running Creek Road for the series of caches placed there. Although it turned out a hot ride we manage to find all the caches . Thanks youngoldfella for the cache.

In town this morning for coffee and then decided to head out along this road for a country drive. Good coords and most caches were found easily enough and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

After an early morning sunrise event it was a drive up to Kilkivan for a weekend event. This is my first event of this type so I am not sure what to expect but I’ve been told they are fun and educational, ok. Today’s kick off was 10am so this gave me a few hours to drive up and get a little caching in before the event started for me.

At the event I teamed up with Willis007 and Ms maddy (who drove) to spend the afternoon collecting a few caches and a few first to finds. Armed with a list and some new coordinates we set off for the afternoon of caching. We had a plan of attack in mind and it turned out to be a good afternoon of caching with a variety of cache sizes, hides and ratings; thank you to the CO’s for the placements of these. Sorry for the generic post for this lot but we did approximately 90 caches around the area.

There were no DNF’s and all caches were found in good order and in close proximity to the given coordinates and or hints. I enjoyed today's caching, thank you.

In Kilkivan for the New Year event, a great opportunity to catch up with caching buddies and meet some new faces.
After setting up at the showgrounds CHAMAD and myself jumped into Ms Maddy's super comfy car and headed out to find some newly published caches along with some tried and true oldies.
A great day spent out and about, enjoying the beautiful country side.
The cache was quickly spotted, log signed and all replaced as found.
Thanks youngoldfella for the cache.

Happy New Year Hammered the Kilkivan area with Chamad and Willis007 today and then some ️

While staying in Gympie with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to find a few caches in the area ...

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

Thanks for the fun!

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 youngoldfella

I found this cache on my Xmas 2019 trip to Queensland however it didn't log automatically from my GPS when I synced it so I am logging it this way.
Thanks for a great caching experiance.
Logged as "Moneydork" before I changed to my new geocaching name "Triggerfish".

Geocaching with my main squeeze, Oddiewan, my best friend, Moneydork and Oddiewan's sons BitternA4 and occassionally Flash_Cat (he bowed out about halfway, but I didn't mark where we took him back to camp) Oddiewan was on a mission and achieved his 400th and 500th finds on this caching trip. I was happy just to see his excitement of reaching his next milestone.

"Running Creek Road"
Q: What race is never run? A: A swimming race.

2019-2020 New Years catch up.
My first New Years event. Spending this time with new friends and old. What a way to see the year out and the new one in.
Caching buddies for this trip are Semik, Money Dork, Flashcat and BitternA4.

A great opportunity to cache around Kilkivan. A selection of hides kept things interesting. Thanks to youngoldfella for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Out with Liz and Bruce while attending the N.Y. Catchup at Kilkivan. Thanks to to CO's for all these hides.

Found after dropping in to the event site.TFTC

A big day out around the Kilkivan area has been on the cards for a while to tidy up many of the smilies left behind after the last catch-up.

Co-ords were excellent and containers generally in great shape, making for a good day of searching. Just needed to look out for the occasional stubborn bovine . Looking forward to the next catch-up event.

Log signed at 06:47 and cache returned as found. Thanks for the smilie and bringing us here **youngoldfella**. This log is trackable, mention where you saw it.

We are on our way to Blackall QOGM, Kilkivan Day 2
After having tea at the pub we were up & away this morning on a circuit we had chosen to do.We really enjoyed our drive around the country side.
It was good to see many large size caches. We had no DNFs for the day.
Thankyou for placing this cache youngoldfella

Drove out from Kilkivan as far as Teebar before turning round and caching our way back. Not sure about Across the Ditch - I fell in it LOL. TFTC youngoldfella

Did a great circuit today, leaving Kilkivan on the Running Creek Road we headed to Woolooga then returned to Kilkivan through Oakview. We found all of the 41 caches that we looked for. All were in good condition and accurate coordinates made for quick finds.

TFTC. Day 4 of our escape from Bundaberg for a caching exploration around Goomeri and Kilkivan. After our efforts yesterday there did not appear to be too many more caches in the immediate area. We decided to take a run up Running Creek Road. We input the furthest cache along the road, but the geo-vehicle took us on a Cook’s tour out to Woolooga. Ah well! We took the opportunity and cached the loop back to Kilkivan. Should have double checked the map. We managed to get back to Kilkivan before noon, hitched up the car and headed back toward Maryborough. Again thanks to the COs for making our exploration more interesting.

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

Day two of our geocaching trip around Kilkivan. Loving the country drives. All caches were mostly quick find thanks.

Found Ok

Crossing the ditch indeed - M sat in the car whilst I crossed to make the find.

1:30:00 PM. I got given the job of crossing the ditch and signing the log. Glad it was dry. Thanks for the cache youngoldfella

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.

Staying in the bush camp . Missed the Event, getting around now.

Drove up from Canberra to Caloundra, to stay with my parents for the Christmas school holidays.
While I was up here I also Came to Kilkivan for the New Year Cache Up event/weekend.
Caching with Grannysmith and Millie (geodog) again today ... found a heap of other caches, then started on this road, but we decided to stop after these first 4 and head back to camp, because we were both getting tired.
TFTC - another fun smiley

Pleased that bobandclare got ftf, about time someone else got in front of us
It was going to be a bit of a mixed bag of caches today with Bruce finding mine and me finding his and both of us finding youngoldfella's, while attending the 18-19 New Year Event at Kilkivan Showground GC7VEAH.
TFTC youngoldfella

After being ill over Christmas and then hurting my back just before leaving for the event at Kilkivan, I had a late start today. Not knowing if my back would hold up or not, I opted to cache on my own. I had bumped into Sweet-Sour and PB1973 and found a few caches with them. They had already found the other caches I wanted to find today, so we parted ways after grabbing a few FTFs together. Back on my own again, I headed to this one. The cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

FTF #10 Came to Kilkivan for the 2018-2019 New Year Event. Great to meet some of the names we often see in the logs. Thanks to the organisers for their efforts in hosting the event and their caches.

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.
