Day 3 of our 4 day anniversary road trip to Maryborough and out West. Lots of adventure to be had with my love SCAHPA. Log signed as CS & SC to save time and room - Trademark skeleton animals sticker left in cache - TFTC, effort time and maintenance

A quick easy find. Thanks.

Got this one. Hidden as described. TFTC

Dora the Explorer! and I whilst passing through Kilkivan we decided to find several caches that were placed on the 1st January to meet a Western Australia challenge. The challenge required the finding of 20 caches on the day that they were published or on its anniversary.These caches were handy because they were relatively close together. Most caches were in good order.TFTC

Today with CDAH55 it was all about efficiency as i embarked on a park and grab drive-by cache adventure along the power trail. We needed this for the Birthday challenge cache, where you have to find a cache on the anniversary of its placement and you need 20. I only needed to 8 to qualify but today I found 10. So you could say that I over qualified myself. The caches were lined up, waiting for eager geocachers like me to log my find. I stopped by this cache as part of a power trail adventure, and it was a quick and easy find. The cache was exactly where I expected it to be, thanks to the accurate coordinates. Thanks to the cache owner for placing this cache along the trail. It's a great addition to the power trail and made for a convenient stop on our geocaching journey. Trade: We didn't make a trade at this particular cache since it was more about the quick find and go. Trackable: We didn't find any trackables in this cache, but we'll keep an eye out for them as we continue our journey along the power trail. I dropped off a trackable. Quick Stop: This cache made for a perfect quick stop while on the power trail. We appreciate the convenience and the chance to add another find to our geocaching stats. Thanks to the cache owner for maintaining this cache. We're off to the next one along the power trail. Happy caching!

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

On a slow trip out to Longreach for the QOGM 2023 event.

It took longer than it should have.

Quick easy find, running water in ford. Tftc

Left Home, Maryborough QLD. today heading for QOGM 22. With the added change of our new LC300 towing the caravan, only a short hop to test everything. No problems and arrived at Kilkivan free camp, setup and headed out for some caches around town. Grabbed a few but still plenty more here for our next visit.

A perfect winter day and with the BOM forecasting rain for spring and summer what better excuse was needed to head off for a cycling day chasing caches on some quiet country roads around Kilkivan. Thanks youngoldfella for the cache.

Muggle65 and I are after select caches today to help with a challenge. We are covering many miles and have bitten off more than we can chew. The scenery was beautiful and this is the first time I have been out here and everything is green. We really enjoyed our day out here. Thank you for the fun

Up early this morning & off to find the FTF unleashed by Team JLBL & like all those preceding us ?????? no luck finding this one!!! But we aren’t claiming an DNF, just accepting partial frustration.

?????? & I looked for what seemed forever unmolested by muggles at 8:30am in the morning.

So leaving that location we had more success down the road at the challenge caches ?????? and then off to Tiaro & onward to our main hunting ground in the Kilkivan area.

Starting our day before the sun came up, we finished it a couple of hours prior to the sun coming up the next day, Simply because a FTF opportunity came up just after we arrived home & had started to relax. So at Midnight we sent off for a bicycle ride along the gateway to finally claim a FTF for the day?? or was that for tomorrow???
Don’t care!!! Going home to sleep ?? sleep ?? ?? ??.

All good. TFTC.

TFTC. We had headed down to Kilkivan to attend the the mid year event . After setting up we headed out to do some caching. We decided to do the ones closest to town that we had not done on a previous visit. All find were in good order and quickly found.

After camping overnight in Kilkivan I headed out this morning along Mudlo Rd. Another great country drive with good containers and good coords, which always makes the experience nicer.

No problems finding the caches and once the logs were signed all were returned as found.

If a cache needed attention that was done too.

Thanks to the CO's for placing a great series in this area.

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 and enjoying a morning full of caching, after a quick lunch break, we headed out again to keep finding 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.

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.

The caches were generally typically roadside caches.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC youngoldfella *391* streak. *2490* Finds

Attending the Kilkivan event finding mostly newer caches with a few older ones in between. It was an early start after a peaceful sleep in the swag and awaking to a rowdy chorus of birds. Just me and the cows here when I visited, country serenity.

At Kilkivan for the annual cache-up event. Time to head out to find a few caches. Sweet-Sour kindly offered to chauffeur me around for the day. Who was I to refuse? This was our first cache for the morning and a **FTF** to boot. The cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC
