Scoot Away Chinchilla, Queensland, Australia
By lemonmeringue2 on 28-Jun-20. Waypoint GC8VR7R

I have had ongoing issues with people interfering with or taking the caches I place in this position. A geocaching administrator has advised that I am breaking a rule by keeping it disabled too long. To me geocaching is just a fun game and to receive this kind of warning reminds me that there are people who are taking the game extremely seriously. As I don't agree with this level of focus on a game, I am bowing out from this hide and archiving it.

Was overdue for a walk in the park so made sure i carried my telescopic magnet with me - one of my most used tott and makes retrieving most metal caches a breeze. I recommend adding something similar to your kit if you don’t have one already. cache is easier to retrieve for now. Left a pathtag. Two trackables visited.

Found it. My son swapped the token for another one. I hope that's okay. We are new to geocaching

Continual maintenance required so disabling until an alternative type of cache is organised.

Agree with last cachet!

Found but can’t retrieve…. Need a bit of wire

Cache located while stopping for a bite to eat in our way through to Roma.

Stop here for a picnic lunch on our road trip holiday, TFTC

Cache container was located however it was pushed in to hiding spot too far to retrieve.

Easy find on a glorious day! Beautiful parkland! Coddi's first find!!

Found it with pippahiccup on a brisbane trip. On way home now.

I am on a last-minute road trip to Emerald. A quick stop here to turn this frown upside down.
A quick find for me today. But now I need to reach it.
I found a suitable tool nearby and soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks for the cache.

Cache replaced

Couldn’t find it

This one is muffled prone so probably muggled

No luck for me here today…. Maybe it’s been muggled again. TFTC

5:50pm 16/2/23 Have put a replacement there as it had been muggled.

No luck. A group of brownies walked past and said it used to be exactly in the place we were looking.

Found Ok

Great little camo find

Took us a while to find it. Cool cache!

Can confirm that it had been muggled. As I’m not sure if lemonmeringue2 is here or on holidays I’ve popped a replacement in the original location so good to keep going.

Trackable visit

Did not find think it might have been dis placed

Walked through from the big melon to get this cache. Thanks for placing this cache. A nice quick find

Definitely needed a tott for this one nice place tftc

Found at 2:07 PM GAFF1
There was a council worker who just started to do some gardening, but after a few moments he was no longer interested in what we were doing, so the cache was found immediately and we were on our way.
A very nicely maintained park indeed!
Thanks lemonmeringue2.

Attended QOGM2022 in Charleville, now on our wayhome to Warwick, via Miles and Toowoomba. Calling in at Chinchilla.....

Bit of a stretch, but I got it, signed it, and returned it. Nice park, shame we did not have more time for a walk around it. The signage looked interesting.

Sneaky hide if u need help see mu pic

A quick detour off the main road to grab this one.

Thanks lemonmeringue2 for the neat hide here, lovely area to visit.

Thank you, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

This was a bit tricky to retrieve as it had slipped further back. But with patience we managed to get it. Signed and returned to its hidie hole.
Thanks

Found whilst on a very non direct route to QOGM - Charleville 2022. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

Chinchilla Day 2
Today we teamed up with the Snakepitters to do some local cachers around town.
After visiting the markets in the showgrounds we headed out. What a great way to tour the town.
Thanks for placing this cache

On the road again, heading to Charleville for Qogm.  Did your Scoot Away today.  12 September 2022 12:36 pm Tyfc  lemonmeringue2  total caches now  5219  .

Eventually found this sneaky hide. TFTC

We are on a 2 month trip from Portland via the Mundi Mundi Bash to a wedding in Brisbane and then out west for QOGM in Charleville.

Today we left Warra and headed to Roma for a couple of nights but we were able to stop in Chinchilla for their famous Saturday Only doughnuts. We jumped on the bikes and toured around town including the AdLab. It was a busy place today but by its very nature noone is around for long so we were able to streeeetch our fingers in and retrieve the cache.
Thanks for contributing to the fun

On a leisurely caching trip out to QOGM 2022 at Charleville.
Cache found reasonably quickly, in the expected area.
Cache in good condition.

We spotted this one quickly but needed a TOTT to retrieve it as it was just out of reach. It appears to have been found by children who have added their names to the log sheet. SL TFTC

Easy enough find. Thanks for the cache!

Found it.
Thanks

Tassie travellers spending a bit of time cruising in Australia. And pausing in various geohotspots as we go. What a beautiful asset this park must be for Chinchilla. Thanks lemonmeringue2 for attracting us here !

31 July 2022
Too many people in the immediate area, walked through park but still to many to discreetly look

31 july 2022
Finally they moved away, took a while to find. Tks

Scooted over here between ️ and a haircut Thx for relaxing this cache speedily. Hope it stays put

Great place for a cache.going for a wonder thru the gardens next!

Quite ez

Chinchilla girl guides found it!

Quick find. By the style of cache container, I’m not sure it was in the correct spot. But I returned it as found.

In Chinchilla for a night on our way back to Brisbane after Roma’s Easter in the Country. The town is super tidy and from the “sold” signs in the windows of all the real estate agencies I’ve passed in my walk, the resource industry is booming. TFTC and taking me on a lovely wander around town today. I’ve left a few unfound for my next visit.

was fun but quite easy to find

Thanks g

We are visiting chinchilla for a couple of days, and decided to start our day with a walk through the botanic Gardens. We had parked at the opposite end and took a slow walk reading the signs and admiring the shapes and beautiful gardens. At the end of the park we sat in the shade on a nearby seat to sign the log.
Thanks lemonmeringue2

Found pretty easy will need long fingers though...

This one seemed to take forever. Eventually we looked in a spot that we had already looked in and spotted the cache deeper in than we has anticipated.

Finally catching up with my logging!*

Today is the day! An epic 3 week roadtrip up to Longreach/Winton and back to Brissy. ️️

We made a quick stop in Chinchilla to see the big watermelon because why not! We decided to quickly grab this one! A quick sign of the logbook and we were gone again!
TFTC!

Nice easy park and grab.

Quick easy find especially when you catch a fellow geocacher in action on arrival
Beautiful gardens. Well worth a walk through and take swimmers for kids to run through water park. TFTC!

Lovely little stroll in the park

Gotcha !!! Collecting a few caches on our way home from Glen Innes to Yeppoon. TFTC

Not too hard, nice little stop

Accio 17:32:00
An amazing long weekend of traveling around with Crew153 in the mighty Suzee geomobile. After visiting Blackdown NP we headed into Emerald for the night and today we head to Chinchilla. A quick find on the way into town for dinner.

Thanks lemonmeringue2 for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #10071}*

Pprime and I escaped Brisbane for the long weekend for the delayed public holiday for the Ekka. We hit the road to Emerald and back home via Roma.

We had time to drive around Chinchilla and pick up a few caches. This one happened to be on the side of the toad that we were planning on using so it would not have been polite to drive past it.

A quick find

A lovely walk through the gardens and a smiley. TFTC

Found it with little bug, as we stepped off for our bike ride!!

TFTF. We are overnighting at Chinchilla weir. After setting up we went out for a couple of hours to find the caches in the area we had not previously found. A nice trip around . All caches found relatively quickly. We had not been j]here before. With a bit more time we would have loved to explore the gardens a bit more

Place of Lamentation

This is a 430,000 square foot public square at the heart of the Citadel in front of the great temple. It is a holy place where all Omnians can go to petition the Great God Om, through means of posting a note in his statue. Entire villages would save to send one person to the place of lamentation to petition for the whole community, the petitioner often staying days to ensure their prayers are heard.

There was No one enjoying the botanic gardens today, at this end at least, and made a quick easy find. Thanks for the cache
