"Lookout Fisher" Bunya Mountains, Queensland, Australia

I have removed this cache . Too many people complaning.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

This one has required maintenance for 6 months now, and given no response, perhaps it is time to put this one to rest

This one has certainly been lost in the stinging nettles. Perhaps an owner replacement could be consider, or archived if necessary.

Could not find the cache amoungst the sea of stinging nettle (This must be a nettle farm or something [:-P]). The only thing spotted was a purple pen lying on the ground near the spot we thought the cache might be hidden.

Could not find. What a nightmare trying to get through the stinging nettles. Try at a different time of the year. Thanks all the same.

I am not sure if Mother Nature has just made this difficult or what. I am still smarting from forementioned "Stinging nettles" at the this cache. After Gaz got a dose of them as well - we were twice shy. My GPSr was sure of an area - but couldn't find a cache there. Perhaps some kind of hazmat suit is in order for this one. TFTH.

No luck for us today and after reviewing the previous logs and pics, I suspect the cache is still there, however the area has become over-run with weeds and is no longer an easy find.

After much scrummaging and tooing and froing, the cache was nowhere to be seen. LOTS of grass and nettles &^$%"£()!!!! Found a likely spot, but the nettles were just too much for me and after being bitten by them once too many times, I gave up. That and the rain don't make for fun lol

[16:38] Blackberry bush and stinging nettles are in fine form. Highly recommend jeans and leather gloves for this one. Had to wander around the hillside a bit due to long grass and a wide selection of hiding places. Eventually spotted the cache. TNLN. TFTC - PS. At one of two caches in this area I picked up a tiny bush-tick, even at this time of year! Be really vigilant in the warmer months guys.

First cache for the day and a nice easy walk to it. Cache was still nice and dry after the rain from the previous day. Had fun looking for this one as the area has a bit of stinging nettle around but after a couple of false starts found its home. Great spot of a cache and good photos can be taken from the lookout. It was a nice clear day with not a cloud in the sky wind was blowing hard though and a jacket was needed.TFTC NTNL

Last one before heading home. TFTC. TNLN.

Quickly found and the coordinates were spot on. TFTC

Went searching with Xusia for this one today. No luck, and Xusia didn't know where it had got to either.

Found with Loupyloo at 1324.

Mr Simia and Loupyloo dove straight in, followed closely by Mrs Simia and the Geodaughter. The latter were soon heading back to the lookout point after stepping in a huge patch of stinging nettles to find that the long pants they were wearing offered no protection whatsoever.

Mr Simia and Loupyloo pressed on for what seemed like a lifetime while the rest of us were on muggle watch and enjoying the views.

Eventually they returned, stung but victorious. TNLN SL TFTC

Up here from Brisbane for the long weekend with a group of cachers and a muggle. Parked the cars and walked the short distance to the lookout for a quick ogle b4 starting the search. This one took longer than it should have as the place was thick with our newly found enemy.....Stinging Nettle It pretty much covered GZ and made just finding possible hides extremely difficult. A stick is pretty useless when it comes to poking around a log overgrown with grass n stingers so we gave up looking there n expanded the search area behind us. We found a patch of long grass off to the side a little that had been flattened and wondered if the cache had been there at one point, but again fallen victim to muggles. Not wanting to leave empty handed, we persisted a little longer in yet another area and Bingo! found the little blighter Once again I was stung by the evil stinging nettle as i extracted the cache. The log was signed @ 1-23pm. I don't know anything about this stinging nettle, but maybe some thick gloves would provide a little protection from it's bite. TFTC albyalbatross&Wendy

Beautifulf spot, magnificant views. Found cache also found ticks(Check yourself).
TNLNSL, TFTC

This one was an easy hike from the lookout with great views, hardly any nettles as the moment.
Cache was in hand when geoson started complaining about a bite under his arm, sure enough a tick was attempting to burrow her way in,so we left in a hurry to apply first aid and more insect repellant.
TFTC

An easy find after enjoying the view. Only go bitten by the nettles twice.tnlnsl

Why to use terrain 1 if we could take about 3 to 4 ? Came though 4km long steep hike - views paid off !

No TB or GC inside.

no trade

I dunno about "Lookout Fisher" This one should have been called "Lookout Timmos!!!" Crikey this was an infestation of stinging nettle this one. Description says easy find...well be that as it may, finding was easy but fishing it out of a nasty patch of herbage was another story. Glad I had the stingos for this one.
All in all...a nice hide in a nice location. Thanks for this hide.
Ive posted a couple of photos...The Geoprincess who found it, and a patch of the offenting foliage that found her!!
TFTC....Cachers BEWARE!!!

Walked up from our campsite to ring on the mobile and do a few caches at the same time .You can sure see a long way from here. Wow !! Just realized this is No.700 for me. TNLN TFTC

Little rain today but still good views. Thanks for the cache.

Found on a day I enjoyed lunch on the Bunya Mountains. TFTC. TNLN.

Great views and this cache gave us a reason to come back and enjoy them again.
Read about the nettles and still managed to get hit looking in the obvious hide, which wasn't the actual hide.

Nice Walk to Lookout, great view and glad I know what stinging nettles look like.TNLN

A delightful swim through waves of stinging nettles with intrepid geo-kid in tow. Awesome views, great mild clear conditions.
Took water pistol, left Xmas tree. TFTC

So that's what stinging nettles feel like ... Quick find but the rehide tested my construction skills. Took geocoin. TFTC Albyalbatross&Wendy.

Great day in the Bunyas and a good bonus coming accfoss this.

Last for the day before heading off to the camp site.

Found fairly easily in the rain.

No sign of the Happy Birthday Bug though.

Found with Eatmorchikin. We went up to the lookout at night to see the storms come across. My geo hubby and Eatmorchikins went bush in the dark with torch in hand to find this one. TFTC

This was another night stalker walk, undertaken by Landylovers, Eatmorchickin & Stigglepot. We all had great fun walking around at night doing geocaching by torchlight. It certainly makes you laugh falling over trees and getting caught up in bushes. Easy to find, infact I almost fell over it!... TFTC..eatmorchickin & Stigglepot

fun,fun,fun. can't wait to do more.

Great hike around bunya mountains

Great spot again damn the nettles though.
TFTH

Some muggles were leaving the lookout as we proceeded towards the cache and more appeared when we were returning to the car.
We located the cache easily enough, signed the log and headed for the next cache. TNLN TFTC

Lovely position even though the sting nettle got me when I reached for the cache. The walks around here are well worth doing.
Thanks for a good cache
John and Helen

our 1 find on our trip to the Bunyas this weekend - for some reason none of the other locations downloaded properly ....
lots of fun - I had quite a time getting the container open, which probably means it is very well sealed from the elements.
cheers.

Found at 1315hours today. Number 3/9 on weekend adventure with Pantsman80 and families. Not hard to locate. Beware of muggles as there were plenty about today. TFTC TNLN.

Found this one with ease with youngoldfella, no sign of the TB in the cache or in the log book hope it shows up.

TNLN TFTC

Found it up in the nettles. Yep, that small plant sure does pack a punch.
In: Pirate + Parrot
Out: Bangle
Did not see the Birthday TB. hmmmm

Was worried for a moment, as there was a couple of small ziplock bags under the base of a fallen tree that was right where my GPS said was GZ. Let my eyes wander around the immediate vicinity and found the cache quite quickly. Put my hand into a bunch of stinging nettle when I was re-hiding it. OUCH! that was 2 hours ago, and my hand is still sore.
TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found on a bitterly cold & windy day. Great views over the area. Thank you.

Dropped in to grab Geo coin. Log was full so I put a new log book in.

Dropped in to exchange coins.

had look with bad gps, try again later

Nice spot. Second day I found it quite easily. I thought that the communication tower influenced the GPS signal, but all was ok.

Beautiful view and easy cache.TFTC Took d,oyley and left motorbike.

Found as a member of LEDGIN'S.

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1650hrs. Took motorbike and left Golf Ball. A little sneeky but a good quick find. Enjoyed Fisher. TFTC.

Nice easy find but littel miss piggy did get some stinging nettles for her effort

2nd go at looking for this one. 1st go had me stung by a nettle so I gave up. Found a nearby cache near sunset so gave this one another go and found it straight away.

Had Kiangarow written on the container ??
Is that why we couldnt find it up there ????

This was an easy find with more great views over the Darling Downs.
Left a flashing Christmas pin and took 20p coin.
Thanks A&W.
PS Also left two small gel pens for log.

Found after looking for some time in the wrong place. Must learn to watch gps rather than use gut instinct. The first of many nettle stings for this trip. No views today due to fog and rain, but a pleasant walk all the same. TNLN TFTC!!

Our first find up the mountain on a day trip with Ben, Ruth and Geoff. Ruth and I went for the cache while the boys watched some workers put up some new signs. Slowly. Great views from the top! Took nothing, left two cocktail animals. Thanks for the cache.

Wonderful views in this great area. TNLN. Thanks Albyalbatross&Wendy

Great view from the lookout - mini-Xusia the younger's very first find! Sporting a natty magnifying glass, she is now calling herself "Detective mini-Xusia the younger"...

This area has recently received much needed rain and the stinging nettles have gone wild! Gardening gloves recommended for the faint of heart. Took water balloons, left lace doily.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this cache at its new location. All is well.

Another cache in a stunning spot, though Mini mini GC discovered that Australian stinging nettles have the same properties as English ones!!! took pack of cards and left English money. No writing imlpement in the cache, so couldn't date the log,but, left an undated GC sticker.

Nice easy find,really enjoyed the view from the look out fisher great spot this, thanks for the cache.

An easy find and a great view. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Steve found without GPS (from memory of visiting one year ago). Found with friends new to cacheing.

Found while taking some sunset pictures. Did not see the TB May have been picked up and not yet logged.

Took strap
Left Bull

Easy find. Also got to watch some people making a doco for TV and had a great spot to watch the sunset. Took a candle and left a bungy cord

We disturbed some would be climbers at the nearby TV towers as we parked to find this cache - I'd like to think I saved their lives!!! Geojunior literally stumbled on this one. IN Shell/Party Mix OUT Whistle/Jet Fighter

What a nice little lookout... I imagine its not too well known.

Upon getting to GZ it took us less than a minute to find the cache & not much longer to make our swaps and return it to its hiding spot before continuing on to meet family in the area.

Danielc and wife found this cache without too much difficulty except for a run-in with the nettles. Lovely view. Lovely area. Too bad the camp ground at Dandabah was closed. I camped at Bushlands Camp. Was struck by the lack of bird-life. Ranger says it is a result of the drought. Very sad. Took a balloon and left Telstra bottle opener come keyring.
Cheers, and Good Hunting. Dan

Another Beautiful view here and not far from the road so gives the legs a little rest. TNLNSL

Left Stihl Traveling TN

Great views, look out for stinging nettles. Thanks for the hunt.

Easy! We re hid this one with some undergrowth over it. I went back to make sure we filled out the log properly and almost couldn't find it. This walk is about the lenght we appreciate.
T door alarm L BuzzLightyear

We were in the area for a camper trailer gethering at Bushland Park and just had to fit in some geocaching while here. What excellant views and some fantastic history in the area as well.

Weather was certainly not the best (very windy, cold, overcast and drizzly) but who cares.

Nice easy find, cache is in good condition but the logbook is getting full).

T: Bead necklace
L: Playing cards

Thanks for a great cache.

ianandmichele

Our first find with new GPS. Watch the stinging nettles.Left necklace, took frog.

Found the stinging nettle and got a good sensation to the body. Found the cache fairly easily too. The TB has gone AWOL.

An easy one to get to, but not so easy to find amongst the rocks and stinging nettle. Wife stood on the cache before she realised the significance of it all. Kids were rapt again, removed Kahlua travel bug. No Happy Birthday Bug though????

Not sure what time we got to this one but must have been about 3 ish... pretty sure we made no swaps but can't be sure - i do recall there being stinging nettles nearby so take care.

IF's Signal Geocoin also made a visit.

Forgot to mention this fella's new address.

Driving past on the way home, decided to stop here & check out the lookout. Nice views, but unfortunately a bit stinky as something had died nearby.
Cache easily found - no problems with grass or nettles.

Thanks

Paul

A nice easy find in and area that we haven't been to for years. Nice solid cache, as is required in this normally cloud covered area. Thanks for the cache.

Took windscreen stickers (i will definitely find a use for them) and left a toy car (without my son watching). No TB here.

Agsmky

Grass is itchy - wear long pants!!
Took glasses spray and left windscreen patches.

A nice quick easy find as we were leaving the area.

*No Travel Bug in cache*

TNLN Please note stinging nettles are growing around the cache. Boots, long pants and gloves recommended!

Thanks for the find.

Found it! It wasn't too hard, great hide. I have never stopped at this spot before, really good views from here.

TNLN, sorry didn't look for Travel Bug.

Thanks

Shirley

The wife had a meeting, we went on a "Treasure Hunt" as the kids call it. Beware the Nettles as one found out.

Found it as our first geocache! Nice view when the weather clears. Watch out for the nettles. Took chalks and left candle and ribbon

Found easilly enough on our last morning on the mountain. Always a great view from up here. Cache in good condition no sign of the travel bug thou

I didn't have the updated co-ords with me for this - serves me right for not doing my research. Didn't find the cache but got some nice shots at sunset and later, once the stars came out.

Yes we’re another lot who just made this one in time before setting off to make camp for the night [|)]
That’s seven caches for the day. We had hoped to match our record of ten, but not bad considering how much ground we have covered [^]
Took: Nothing
Left: Coloured chalk

Ran out of time could only get one of three in the area.
Left a candle and took a plastic dinosaur.

Been up here a few times - didn't know this lookout was here.
