Very quick find in this beautiful part of the countryside. Thanks for bringing us here

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

Easy find here

Was able to sign this

An early morning start and meeting E_Smiley in Gympie for a full day of caching in the area.

Thanks for the fun!

Another great caching day with georode. Picking caches along the way going north as far as we can.

Thank you for the cache youngoldfella. I was going to pick up the tb but I forgot!

Yes it is a very obvious place to hide a Geo…. Thank you for hiding this here for us to find

Tftc youngoldfella, nice outlook from here .
Quick find.
Cache wet but 5he Ziploc is doing its job and the log is ok

Nice easy find here.
But grabbing this near dark upset the nearby pooches.
PrezDough made the grab and signed us in.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 5 TB.

Drove from Beaudesert to Hervey Bay and back in a day for one of my daughters awards presentation for the second time in two weeks. 820 kilometers broken up by caching and meals. Really appreciate the CO's placing all these caches.

All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.

Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **youngoldfella**

We have noticed over the past few days how dry this area is at the moment, even the lantana and others weeds are showing signs of being very dry. SL TFTC

With the weather clearing it's time to hit the frog & toad again.
We thought Maryborough might be nice for a change but we couldn't help detouring via the backroads north of Kilkivan which still have so many caches on offer.
#3 of 55 smilies rounded up today.

Quick P & G.
I got wet feet!
My thongs don't appear to be waterproof anymore? [?]
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Gotcha !!! Quick trip to the Sunny Coast to organise some spare parts. Always time to find a geocache on the way. Retrieved TB to move on .TFTC

Hi there youngoldfella.

We found your cache **" Water View from Smith Road."** today. (This makes our find count 25674).

Today's plan was to head north up along Booubyjan Road and then continue back on to Brooweena - Woolooga Road. Also today we cursed the Garmin Drive Smart, because it has a habit of not showing caches on its map. So we probably missed a couple today and picked up a few we blindly drove past the other day.[:(!]

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 34 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
**Dropped Trackable:** "Signal the Werewolf".

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Visiting the area for a few days and took time out to grab a few caches and this was one of them. Good coords and most caches were found easily enough and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Out geocaching with my daughter during the Xmas school holidays. TFTC

After a tumultuous morning of caching it was decided to go out with just three of us this time and cache some of the new caches and grab some older ones as we passed. So now it was just Willis007, 4hawkers and myself. I really thought we could not have any more laughs but the day just continued and I had a stitch from laughing so much.

The caches on this trip were varied, a variety of sizes and hides but all were in good condition. The countryside around here is amazing and just beautiful, thank you for bringing us around here.

Thank you to all the CO’s for placing caches around this area, I really enjoyed the drive around here and finding your caches. Sorry for the generic log but we found 60 plus caches this afternoon.

SO WHY ARE WE HEADING TO WIDGEE< IT’S NOT ON THE LIST???

Due to a miscalculation on time and fuel turns out one of the cars now needs fuel and the petrol station is shut. With racq on the way what else can you do but grab a few caches while you wait.

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.
After gathering heaps of caches this morning, it was time to pack up at camp as I needed to head towards home.
TripleTurmoil and CHAMAD decided to join me on the journey up north to find some more new and older caches. We had a super fun afternoon racing around finding these caches, and very much appreciate the CO efforts with these.
This was a quick find, log signed, cache replaced as found.
Thanks YOF for the cache.

Spending a day at Kilkivan for the event and picked up this cache . Thanks youngoldfella

My husband and I are on the way to carnorvan gorge and today our first stop was gayndah and on the way we were collecting some smileys. At gz it was in the obvious spot as per the description took travel bug to move on soon. Thanks for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

They need more water for the creek.

Found it with Tbu1bikesu.

Tftc

We are on a short trip only with our caravan. We love this area, and will be back soon again, as due to rainy weather our caching is limited.

Found this one. Creek can do with a bit of more rain ....

I left a Travelbug for the next cacher.

Just out of towne,
I found this beaut view over the creek below
And across the way,

Found beyond the black stump. TFTC

Love the water view, TFTC

Beautiful view near here over the river. We could see rainbow bee-eaters zooming around and an egret down near the water - wish we'd brought the binoculars.
Good safe hide, nice and cosy.
So many caches out this way - enough for several more trips. Sorry we missed all the events though.

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

All Good .. TFTC ..

We found this cache on a lovely drive around these country roads this morning. TFTC

Quick find

Hooray thanks for share Deafphantom DeafVW

What a great new year day spend with our geocaching gang DeafPVC (DeafPhantom, DeafVW, Deafcat) thank you

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

Camp caching

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.

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.

A big day out around the Kilikvan 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

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

Out and about for another day caching from Kilkivan. Great view down to the water from this cache, made us think of the floods through there. 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.

Getting hungry....but had to stop for this one...tftc....yof...

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

Found Ok

Worth the stop..a beautiful location.thanks.

Second find for the day and a quick one at that. TFTC youngoldfella

Found whilst attending the event in Kilkivan over the weekend thanks for the cache and the great catch up over the weekend. Looking forward to the next visit out in this great area of my back yard.

10:03:00 AM. FTF. Having been given a sheet of new caches to attempt and after Bruce was so kind as to create a GPX file off we headed with our GPS's loaded. We decided to go to the furthest and work our way back and pick up other caches as we came across them. Found and log signed. A nice quiet road out here. Thanks for the cache youngoldfella
