12:50:00 PM. Out for a drive from our camp at Gootchie Creek Escape. Thank goodness the better half spotted it as I was going around in circles. Log signed and returned as found. Thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce
Were on our way to Rocky for the weekend to celebrate the birthday of our eldest, which also means we can grab some caches, take in the scenery and escape city life.We noticed the old cache in Bauple and we love our old caches so we decided to head over to have a look. On the way there we noticed this cache and thought it would be silly to leave it behind so we stopped off to have a look.We parked across the road and wandered over towards the structure. It didnt take us too long before spotting something that didnt belong and sure enough, the cache was in hand.Thanks for bringing us here.#4294 - TFTC
Almost gave up on this one as it was very difficult, but after a long search the cache was in hand. Thanks.
We came here expecting people around but it was quiet and we were able to search. Soon the cache came to hand when we knew what to look for. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks Liz and Bruce. All good with this cache.
Making our way home from QOGM 23 along the coast grabbing some caches along the way TFTC Tricky hide
A great hide! Ran into another casual travelling cacher who was free camping. TFTC
Thanks with a bit of help from a camper, we happened to get the cache, clever TFTC
We pulled into the area and choose our little patch of grass to camp on. Took Benji the geopoodle out for a walk around to stretch his legs and remembered that there was a cache here. Turned out we parked perfectly as our geovan blocked the view to GZ of the only other van here.
Took a few circles and up down up before the cache was found and stickered.
TFTC and greetings from Tassie

Thank you for the cache Liz and Bruce. Had a great time collecting caches with georode.
This one was the sneakiest one which needed a PAF to find. Always great to catch or cache up and hear from a friend! ️

Leaving our camp today from the nice area of Awonga Dam, it is the long drive home; yep it is going to be a long one. I guess the only way to break up the drive is to work it around cache placements and those I still need to get.
This was one of my “scheduled” stops, I had been here before and had no luck. Armed with a little more experience I thought I would stop and try again. I searched and searched and then something looked a little strange. Sure enough it was the hide, very sneaky.
All good with this cache, I signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Then I was on my way to the next. Thanks for placing this one here so glad to get this one.

Enroute to Hervey Bay for four days and three nights hiking a portion of the Fraser Island Great Walk, we managed an early start, primarily so we could beat the traffic, but also so we find a carefully selected mix of caches along the way.
A previous DNF here by Seffnjarah saw him drag us along seeking retribution. This rest stop was busy, however GZ was all free. So, under the cover of morning tea and some homemade beef jerky, a quick find was made.

Today Crookedpete, Dez(JezNDez) and I were heading north from Brisbane on our way to Hervey Bay for the start of our 4 day hiking adventure tomorrow along a stretch of the Fraser Island Great Walk. We left Brisbane early to avoid the peak our traffic and this gave us plenty of time to pick up caches along the way.
The visit here today was to avenge a previous DNF back in December 2020. My fellow Bromance compatriots accused me of only inviting them along here today to help clean up my mess. Thankfully their presence here today was my lucky charm and the cache was quickly spotted while sampling some of Crookedpete's home made jerky. Logbook signed with The Bromance team stamp. TFTC

TFTC. We are camping here tonight and the bonus is a cache. My GPS had me wandering around in circles.eventually I decided it had to be in a certain spot and using my eyes and instinct found it.
Found with CJDenno on this wonderful afternoon. I will say that this is a VERY tricky cache. The hiding spot is just so smart and the cache blends in so well. The cache is in good condition.

Well PrezDough and I are taking my mother around for a drive in her old area from her youth. She tells us that she went to a Rossendale School which is probably very near here in the 40’s.
Anyways, we hunted, poked, felt and then resorted to the last effort of looking high.
Finally we managed to spy the cheeky hide. Then it was almost an effort to own the container as I had to work out its opening.
Soon had our names on the log and off we went after more caches.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 5 TB.

Hi there Liz and Bruce, we found your cache On the way to Bauple today.

A great little spot to stop and break up our drive up to Rockhampton.
This took a good eye to find which TG thankfully had.

We have been had this cache on our radar for a long time due to us having a farm in the area. So, over the easter weekend we headed out to find the nearby, newly published Jolly Brolly Folly geoart so we thought since we are driving past, we would grab this one while we were there. After coming here in the dark last weekend on our way back from our Gayndah Rodeo run. This time we decided to come here in the daylight for have a look and we were finally able to turn this into a yellow smiley face.
Thank you for the cache placement and maintenance Liz and Bruce

Out and about travelling to Townsville Mega Event. Visiting caches along the way to break up the trip. Been here twice before without success in finding the cache. This time was different. Luck was on my side. Found cache and signed log. TFTC.
Heading north for the Townsville Mega, taking 5 days and finding caches along the way. Thanks to the COs for placing these caches to show us more of your local area.
Third time lucky!!!!

Dropped in to freecamp on our way North. This one took a bit of concentrated looking but we spotted it after a circuit. TFTC Liz and Bruce
Did not know of this spot.. We spent Twenty minutes looking just about to give up.. Bingo found it.. loved the hide and the quiet park. Tftc.
Nice little sneaky hide. My muggle partner actually found it , he occasionally helps me out . Beautiful area, nice quiet park. Been awhile since I have been able to get out and look , too busy moving and now I live in Glenwood I'm hoping to find heaps up this way .. Thank you
My husband and I had a great weekend away from Brisbane in Harvey Bay and today on the way home we were picking up smileys on the way. We were lucky and had this park to ourselves so we had time to have a good look and it did take awhile but we finally spotted this sneaky find. We had fun here. Thanks for all the fun.
Finally found on our 3rd attempt. We stopped for lunch on the way home to RV Homebase and geohubby had a really good look & hey presto, success. Thanks Luz & Bruce.
Well, well, well, Liz and Bruce, you are crafty folk! Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC
Have ben staying in Chermside for the last 5 days supporting our friend who was undergoing heart surgery in the Prince Charles. During our breaks we managed to stretch our legs and pick up a few caches closer to the hosp. We grabbed this one on the way home.

TFTC. We had not been out in a little while and with a new souviner in the offing we decided to head out along the Netherby Road and then circle back to Maryborough via Bauple. We had not been along these road previously so it was a leisurely trip. We attempted and found 22 caches in the Tiaro-Gundiah-Bauple area. Thnaks to the CO’s for putting these out so we could explore the area.
Just checking our files and see that we forgot to log this cache, Thank you for placing this cache for us to find. SL TFTC
I found this cache on a trip with Snickersallan, I thank all CO's for the time and effort putting out and maintaining the caches, all were enjoyed. TFTC
On our way home from a great week caching in and around beautiful Maryborough.
Wow, this was a tricky clever hide, love the container and a favourite point from me.

One of my daughters who lives in Hervey Bay was getting an award today at school, so I made the trip from Beaudesert to Hervey Bay and back again in a day. Thankfully there's still a couple of caches between there that I hadn't gotten yet to break the long drive up.
895 kilometres in one day is a lot of driving! This was cache 6 of 33
Liz and Bruce your caches never seem to dissappoint me! Pulling in early proved to be a good idea as there was no a skerrick of movement from the two vans set up. Did a quick lap of the likely spot before honing in on a particular area and it wasn't long before the cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache **Liz and Bruce**

Called in today after the successful find at the RV center, there were 3 grey nomads camped in the park and no one outside watching me.
After a quick look about, spotted something a little out of place, sure enough a cache, sat down with my drink and signed the logbook, replaced as found, finished my drink, continued heading home.

We are on the way to Hervey Bay, but stopped here to have another go. With a PAF, we got it this time.
Awesome hide and container. A fav point well earned.

Had our lunch here. But a couple of others staying here. Dancing on the table not possible. Will come back one day. Tftc Liz and Bruce
Dunno how many times we searched for this and not found it. This time we were here with L & B (cache owners) who couldn't find it either, so they left a replacement cache which we signed.
Thanks Liz and Bruce for your ongoing support

Had a brief stop here on the way through town to Bundaberg. Too good for me today.
After a DNF here last year, we came armed with a hint from a previous finder (thanks Janet) and a quick search soon revealed the little blighter. Signed log and returned as found, glad to turn this one into a smilie. TFTC Liz and Bruce
On our way to Maryborough we stopped off for a break here and after a thorough search we found the hidden treasure. Pleased to find this one. Thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce. Fav from us!
Caching with my main squeeze, Oddiewan. We stopped in at this one for its D/T rating and found it after several minutes searching but certainly not a “quick find”. Its a sneaky sucker! Happy to have this one in the found column! Thanks heaps, Liz & Bruce!
On the way back from Caching in Maryborough.
This is a sneaky little one. Took quite a bit to find.
Semik came up with the goods.
Log signed and cache returned for the next hunter.

Two pairs of experienced eyes couldn't locate this one. Spent a good half hour contorting ourselves in our efforts.

On our way to Maryborough for a few days geocaching. Very disappointed not to find this one despite a long search in really hot conditions - did manage to find a huge spider who wasn't impressed with being disturbed.
Big day today as I leave home at Innes Park at 0400 and arrive home at approximately 1930. On this day I found 15 hides between home and Maryborough down to Gympie then out to Kilkivan to place 23 new hides for the New Years event. Apologies for boiler plate logs but where there is something to say about the cache additions will be made.
On the way home from Kilkvian by this stage in the day and I did place 23 new hides and that will make 53 new hides in the area for the New Years Events. ( Sweet_Sour and PB1963) placed the others. It is now about 1600 hours in the afternoon. .
Parked safe and began my search. There were no muggles about. This did take a little searching but good co ordinates. Very sneaky. Favourite point. TFTC Liz and Bruce.

Looked high and low. Muggles in and out all the time. No luck today. Will try again.
Couldn't do this one for a FTF as camper van was sitting right where GZ was. Driver was watching our every move. Greynomads
