Microphobia Dilemma on Cross Roads Woombye, Queensland, Australia
By WitchDog on 15-Apr-21. Waypoint GC99DG3

Coordinates spot on. Parked under the bridge and saw a little track to take me where I needed to go. Thank you to the owner.

Long have I wondered how or rather when would be the day that I go for this cache.Passing in various busses and cars, always hurriedly going somewhere else.Well today I decided we should finally hunt it down.With my two geobuddies sunshine58 and campari59 out for the day, we first stopped at the big pineapple, then this awkward intersection.Parked below and scurried up the dirt path topside for a relatively long hunt on the bridge.Finally discovered We cursed the nano gods(factory) and scampered back to the car and onwards.Thanks witchdog and wallabywanderers for highlighting at least inadvertently this solomn memorial with a geocache.

On the way back home from a great multi in Nambour, and knowing I only needed one more cache for 1200 finds, I figured I might stop for this one whilst there was still a bit of light in the sky. I parked where Davidwazza did, and continued on foot to reach GZ. A few minutes of searching systematically and thankfully without interruption from muggles I uncovered the little beasty in its spiderweb-covered lair and brought it out for an autograph. Neatly rehid as found, before returning to the geomobile to head home and grab some food on the way home to celebrate the milestone. TFTC WallabyWanderers!

I giggle at geocaches like these, as they aren't easy to access, and are tantalising to anyone who takes the Nambour Connection Road, knowing the traditional cache icon is "right there!". I parked to the south of the southern round about, and walked back to GZ. I thought this would be tough, going by the last DNF, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this cache within five minutes thanks to good coordinates, even if it was evil-sized. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [WallabyWanderers](https://coord.info/PRF04VN) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This morning, I travelled north to the Sunshine Coast to Bli Bli and its surrounds. Stops included Nambour, Parklands Conservation Park, and Bli Bli where I grabbed a bakery lunch. It was then a loop back towards the freeway via Diddillibah and the [The Big Pineapple](https://coord.info/GCAJJW2) virtual cache in Woombye. Nothing beats a Sunshine State winter day like today, with no clouds and blue skies!

searched for at least half an hour. no luck

Quick easy find while up the coast with Duppers. 3rd on our list today. TFTH, TFTC & TFTSF

Shaz was more methodical than I was here, which almost always gets the prize. TFTC

Took awhile but I finally grabbed it. Had to ignore the muggles as traffic was constant past the intersection. Thanks WitchDog.

Looked for half an hour but still can't find

Oh wow it has been a busy morning already with a quick find first up, then a quick catch up, then a nice paddle up (the creek), then a couple of caches up (there). Now for a wonder around the town of Woombye. After the lab cache we decided to clean up a few more in this town. there were some interesting and fun caches. There was one I will have to come back to when I am better prepared.
The Lighthorse was an intersting hide but I managed to see it from a different angle. The waters had us taking the long way around. The chicken took a few minutes to hunt down. Then the logophile was a nice hide.

We signed the log and then returned all back to where we found them. Thanks for the caches and the hides.

Out and about collecting a final few caches in the area after a busy morning paddling along Paynters Creek and collecting caches in Woombye
After parking nearby and arriving at gz the search began. After finding nothing on the first pass, another more methodical approach started, thankfully it resulted in a find.
Log signed, all replaced as found.
Thanks WitchDog for the sneaky cache.

WallabyWanderers I found your cache Microphobia Dilemma on Cross Roads on 26/6/2022, 2:15 pm. This is my find 3607 and find # 6 today. Soon had CIH after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

We are on our way up to Monteville today and thought we would collect some GCs on the way. Difficult find but got there at the end. Signed T.L

Returned today with reinforcements after my failed attempt a few months ago. Mr SW & daughter #1 were kidnapped on the way home from a belated Father's day lunch for a detour via Woombye. After satiating our logophile appetite, we parked at the school and wandered over to the bridge, tripping on many fallen small branches along the way as it was very windy.
I started poking fingers into dark holes on one side and very soon Mr SW had his hands on the prize. Yay! Thank goodness - always great to redeem a DNF...

1x TB Visited (koko the koala)

Cache is still in place.

2nd time here spending another 20 minutes searching, iPhone saying I’m at GZ 9 weeks since last find - guess i will wait till someone logs and I will return !! Thanks for the hunt !

We parked in a side street close by and crossed over and strolled along to GZ where after a feel around my fingers touched the little one! All good wth the cache log signed and replaced where we found it. Thanks WitchDog.

On the way home from visiting Woombye to do the adventure lab tour, I popped in here for an extra walk. I had a long search but obviously not a good enough one as I could not feel or spot anything. My phone gps kept changing it's mind as to gz but I don't think that was my problem. Just too tricky for me today!

Quick inspection and cache is still in place

We couldn't see it.

Thursday. Out with OC today. Don’t you just hate it when everyone says nice quick find and you struggle to find anything but rubbish in all the holes?? No luck for us today, even though we thought we felt everywhere we could stick our fingers. Will be back for this one!

This was the only DNF log on today's trip.

Thanks ***WallabyWanderers*** for showing us this place. Hopefully we will be back!

3:10:00 PM. On our way home and Konie said I might as well stop and grab this cache. He had already found it. Parked up and made the walk down to GZ. I found the co-ords were spot on and found the little sucker in the first place I looked. Log signed. Thanks for the cache WitchDog

Heading to Nambour via a different route and after picking up a couple of other caches along the way parked a short distance from this one and took a stroll to GZ.

The cache was soon in hand and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Parked up in the side road and wandered back to GZ and as the coords were spot on - we soon had the cache in hand. Gosh you must be a lot cleverer dog than ours was - we didn't even manage to teach him how to bring a stick back let alone hide a cache LOL. TFTC WitchDog

Found @ 1130 hrs

Working in the area today and decided to grab this new one.

Parked just down the road and made my way to GZ.

Once there the co ords were spot on and a quick find was made.

FTF...log to follow

After a busy weekend up Mapleton doing dump runs and wotnot, I found myself sitting on the couch watching Coming to America. Laughing so much before Buzz fell asleep and then my phone was messaging. A few cachers were messaging me about new publications it appears.
Brmmm brmmm brmmm...think I got to Woombye in 10 minutes. Not recommended but I do know these roads around here very well.

Now...this location. Unbeknown to the COs, this is one of my favourite spots to come at sunset and watch/listen to the black cockatoos do their thing before they bunker down for the night. Their unique squawk makes me so happy.And right on cue a few of my black feathered friends arrived to say good night!

Anyhoo, Cache was found easy enough. Great to see another cache in this zone. Let’s not forget the cache originally placed under the bridge to remember Daniel.

Thanks WitchDog...
FP for a happy experience.
