Pining For Water Views Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia
By HippyDonna on 30-Jan-19. Waypoint GC832CT

Thanks. Lovely views and plenty of spectators from the field. They were very moooo - ved

Came out to check out the wedding venue and grabbed cache while here! Tftc

I had planned with green cordial to grab some caches at Cooby. So I decided to start at the Cooby Dam reconstruction multi. I really should have checked a map as there is no way to access the other side. Oh well just means Ill have to come back. This cache was a quick find. I was surprised at the size given its close to the road and without much cover. I placed some more cover over the cache but is still easy to access and find. Thanks for maintaining this one.

Lovely spot and good cache. Thanks

We were in the area for a Rural Safari event and stayed a bit longer to visit for the first time the Cooby Dam and to get some more caches.We found this cache, it needed a little tree climb, and signed the log. Tftc HippyDonna

After the Rural Safari, out and about with TBU1Bikesu for more smileys. Tftc HippyDonna

Quite easy to find and we had fun

Spending the day showing Beardman75 the sights of Highfields and Cooby Dam.
We’ve never driven down to this part of Cooby dam, nice to see water in the dam.
Quick find of the cache

Tftc HippyDonna

I spent the day caching around Highfields and Cooby Dam with Davinells. We removed the wine gums as food in a cache is a bad idea. Thanks for the cache HippyDonna

Found it, hidden well

After the multi find I thought I may as well knock this one over too. This is quiet stretch of the dam here. All good with this one. TFTC HippyDonna.

On a camp at Reflections, aka Camp Cooby, needless to say I seized an opportunity to walk over and grab this one.
Cache is in beautiful condition although a couple of branches have fallen here and there. I re-covered it well and hope it lasts.
An FP for a great cache in a great spot.

Found it tftc

Quick find. I’m visiting from Perth. Thanks for the cache.

With nothing better to do today, I’ve come for a drive up the mountain to collect some solved puzzles, caches with a particular attribute and any others that I step over on the way…

After a DNF at Wired, I was a little more determined here… that and a big cache container made for a quick find… and here I was hoping to stay off the dirt roads today….

Tftc…

Nice area

Found nice and easily. Signed CA 4/5. Will return with a trackable to out in there. All in good order.

Nice size. Out for an explore today.

**Feeling Good Lyrics (Feel Good by Cy Grant 1965)**

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel.

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me yeah

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
Ouh
And I'm feeling good

After yesterday's 53 finds we had an unencumbered and refreshing night's sleep at Yarraman Caravan Park.
Up early to snare a few more smilies before heading back down the mountain.
#3 of 18 found today but we sure covered some kilometres!

A nice quick find while coughing up dust!
A well stocked cache container.
Not sure about Pining for Water Views? [?]
I'm Pining for **WATER** at the moment.
The plumbing needs a good clean flush out from end to end!
The dust out here just penetrates everything and everywhere!
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Not much water in the reservoir at the moment.

Left Brissie early to head up the range for the event at Highfields this arvo, stopping for a few target caches along the way. A muddy road in after today's showers, but a quick find at GZ.

Goombungee Day 2
Camp at the Goombungee showgrounds for a couple of days.
Todays trip was into Highfield out to Cooby Dam & return.
After 5 caches we realised we had a flat tyre so had to make a detour to have a puncture repaired.
We travelled to many new & interesting places, many dirt roads again today.
Thanks for placing this amazing series HippyDonna

Almost missed it

Came here along with SaintsMadHouse to give this cache some love. We really enjoyed the drive and continued on until almost the end. The dam is in need of more water but we know it got some this last Sunday and more rain is expected in the next week. We appreciated the play on words with the cache name and made a quick find. Thanks for the placement HippyDonna. It’s a great drive.
Cheers and happy caching!

I am celebrating my Birthday this week with a Camping and Geocaching week based in Crows Nest. All Finds are logged as SMH if too small for my stamp.
Thanks for the cache and all is good here. The water level is very low, some nice homes out here

Cache has been replaced. Please ensure it is covered well before you leave.

I will check on this one tomorrow. Should have been found behind a gorgeous pine.

May have been looking in wrong spot but definitely couldn't find it... if someone could message me what it's near that'd be great please

Found Ok

Everything is pining for water. Thanks for this one hopefully soon we will complain about to much water

**# 25553** Found on our 2019 winter escape trip to Qld with Mrs Roosta.
A perfect Spring day for a drive to Crows Nest while at Toowoomba.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache HippyDonna,
***Roostaman***

Staying in Toowoomba for a few days and having a caching day out in the rural areas west of the city.
Luckily we didn't have to pine for too long to find this cache.

Last cache found for the full day of caches found from Kingsthorpe to Crows Nest and in between. TFTC

The water level is looking a little low today. WillPunkey made a trade. Thanks HippyDonna for giving us an excuse to come out here

Found it. love the swaps

Logging now after forgetting a few that I was with the co at the time of placing

Am now allowed to log now that some cache checks have been done - helping the CO comes with benefits

Out and about before work to find a cache or two to fill in a spot in the calendar. First stop for me and after one wrong turn I was finally on the right road and heading straight for GZ. A nice find with everything AOK with this one. TFTC HippyDonna

It is time to go caching again and the incentive for this day of fun was to attend an event in Toowoomba at 1200. 24 on my list today starting around the Cooyar area. I have 11 between Nanango and Toowoomba to find then there are have 9 in Toowoomba that I want to tackle and that leaves Mt Peel and three others for another trip. Then there are 4 on the way out to Leyburn for that multi.

Left Nanango at 0545 and arrived at this one at 0830 . Found a very safe spot to park and went for a short walk towards GZ. Good hide. TFTC HippyDonna

Out and about finding a couple of caches.
A bit muddy up this way today with the rain.
Thanks for the cache.

After a 5 day weekend away camping and caching I am back in town ... and I need to top up a calendar date. Who would of guessed[?]
Road works have started out towards the first cache I headed to so there is MUD everywhere along the road ... and over/under my car.
AND ...... So, now, here I am ... in the rain ... searching among the dripping trees ...
Just another day out geocaching.
And i dropped off a TB.
Thanks for the cache.

Wow my phone was busy pinging away this afternoon, but a series of unfortunate events (you know, work meetings, training, work itself...pffft!) kept me from exploring let alone solving the new puzzles that had been published. Still, as I was heading home I decided to duck past and find this cache, and I was pleased to be first to find it. My safety work strappy sandals protected my tootsies from any spikey things, but I did startle a jumpy thing. The little, fluffy tailed bunny kind.

Thanks for the cache, HippyDonna!
