We continued today our tour of several AUS states in the NorthWest and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.The weather was - said in one word simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood. The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.Thanks to artesiancacher for the generation of this nice cache Rest Area - Take a break (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they happened.Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 28 - Mount Isa - Barcaldine, Queensland (750 km)Vera naveer jsem dojela do hornickho msteka Mount Isa, takov mini Ostravy, kter le opravdu v kopcch, a to skoro do posledn chvle nevypadalo. Dnes tedy m dal cesta vedla prvnch 150 km vysoinou, pak 100 km bu a dalch asi 400 km kolem nedozrnch pastvin dobytka. Toho je tu ale hrozn mlo. Asi li ped ltem na porku. Celkem jsem ujela 750 km, ale krajina se mnila, slunce bylo milosrdn kryto mraky, teplota klesla pod 30C a foukal vtk, take jsem u po setmn dojela do Barcaldine sice unaven, ale spokojen. Taky jsem mla bhem dne spoustu zitk. Zastavovala jsem u rznch keek u cesty, zejmna u rznch pamtnk, nap. u pamtnku vnovanmu Dreamtimes - asu snn, co je vlastn historie Aboriginc a jejich kultury, nebo pamtnku vnovanmu pnm Burke a Wills, kte byli nco jako Lewis a Clark v USA - dobrodruzi a objevitel vnitrozem Austrlie. Tak jsem si chtla odlovit jedinou keku v okrese McKinley u starch zemdlskch stroj a zapadla jsem obma pednmi koly do bahna. Bylo to na okraji mal obydlen kiovatky (vesnice) a mstn staci m natst bhem pl hodiny velkm pickupem vythli a j mohla pokraovat. Ke jsem stejn neodlovila, neb bych pky dopadla stejn jak auto. Pda je tu hodn podmen po vech tch boukch a detch. A to v rdiu vyhrouj jejich pokraovnm a taky pchodem tropick cyklony. Nevm, co si pod tm pedstavit, ale nezn to dobe. Pak jsem jela na benzinku doplnit ndr a piel mi dal asi stolet stak ct, e benzin je jen u stojanu .2, neb dochz. Tak to m pekvapilo. Na ostatnch stojanech vude npisy Out of order a vidla jsem je vlastn u nkolik poslednch dn u benzinek. Co se dje, netum, asi njak vzne zsobovn. V rdiu si u stovali, e v Alice Springs je vykoupen supermarket. Nejvt pekvapen ale pilo v malebn obci Winton, kam jsem jela na mstn vlakov ndra, tedy sp stanici, samozejm pro keku. Po jejm odlovu jsem zahldla njak pohyb na trvnku ped ndram a hele, oni to nejsou sochy, ale iv klokani ! A dal byli jet ve stanici. Tak j tu jezdm autem tisce kilometr divoinou, abych je vidla, a klokani zatm jezd vlakem ! Tak to je jasn, e se nememe potkat. Byla jich cel skupina vetn matky s klokntem v kapse a v klidu se psli na trv a taky se tam jen tak povalovali nebo poskakovali. Konen jsem je tedy vidla mimo ZOO. Pozorovala jsem je asi 20 minut a pak u musela uhnt dl. Prost dnes se den vydail a ztra m ek posledn dlouh pejezd na pobe a pak 3 noci na jednom mst, abych si trochu odfrkla.I spend all day on the Hwy from Mt. Isa to Barcaldine. I found some caches on the road, saw many monuments, hills and mesas. I try to find an only cache in McKinley and I got my car stuck in the mud. The local nice old men helped me and pulled the car out. The biggest surprise awaited me at the cache at the train station in Winton. I found the cache and suddenly I see a whole group of kangaroos coming from the station. I drive thousands of kilometers through the wilderness to see them, and they take the train ! Thanks for the cache and greetings from Czech republic.

Well my trip up to QOGM started a couple of weeks ago and after taking the very indirect route up to outback QLD to get there.So after cruising up the Hume to Sydney then the M1 and A1 up to Byron Bay with a few other roads in between as I have been cris crossing a bit so after heading west and making it to Longreach time for a break from the travelling.So after a couple big days out to Stonehenge, Isisford and Ilfracombe, The Tritonz and Roaming Howie finally joined me and we did the puzzle trail.Then a fun first muster day to Muttaburra and back then a great tea event and a few more caches.A trip to Stonehenge and back again for so now a new day.The second muster day and boy what a busy day as there was a lot going on in the car with everything we had to do.Collect trads, look at photos, find some forks and then some property numbers as well.The Mexicans as we were called teamed up with a couple of other cars The Morris and Pool Pool to have a lot of fun over the radio.Well all the caches have been found and after another great dinner event QOGM has officially finished.This was my first one and I had a great time, but all good things must come to end and today I had a big drive ahead of me to my next accomodation which was Ilfracombe as Im staying at the pub just to tidy a few things up.Roaming Howie and I headed to Barcie for the day and we are on our way back to Ilfracombe to finish up for the day.Just a few back along the Hwy to finish off the day.Thanks artesiancacher TFTC.

Day 22. A last minute plan had been hatched to make my by way to QOGM. Very little planning had been done but a very rough outline was in place and it was going to be a day by day trip.We sadly said goodbye to our fellow team mates The_Tritonz after celebrating Ms_Tritonz birthday, and I set off for a day caching with posums in Barcaldine.Not too far of a stretch.Thanks artesiancacher for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Are you planning a trip to Victoria?

Had an amazing time at the last QOGM event in Longreach. I feel honoured to be one of only a handful of cachers who has attended all five, although it does concern me that now I will have to plan my own September school holiday fun. This year I travelled up with Gcoven and we scooted along the bottom LGAs for her to collect and I was able to pick up the odd one here and there untilWe hit brand newies on offer in Longreach. During the course of the formal QOGM days we travelled and cached with chamad and Nathan & Alyce as part of our team signing under the collective name of Misfits. Along the way we had plenty of laughs and enjoyed hanging out with each other through the official social events and our own - generally at The Wellshot or at the Longreach Bakery. With the couple of quieter days on the agenda it allowed us time to get everything we wanted in town and even head further afield to Winton with feeling rushed at any point. It was great catching up with everyone some whom I had not seen since Barcaldine and of course the more regular cachers from home. Quite the turn out indeed. Thanks to the efforts of the QOGM team and Jimmy Project for helping to bring this all together.

Travelling with Team Crackers, The Drovers and Geoturtle37, we stopped at many and varied caches whilst travelling towards Cape York. Our first destination was QOGM in Longreach, Qld. We have been to this area a few times but it is always so different.Our logs are unfortunately, generic, so please accept our apologies.We spent so much time taking in the scenery and took soooo many photos, that note taking and even the recording of found caches got a little lackadaisical.GT37 and I would like to thank all the CO's involved in making this a most memorable trip. We appreciate the effort and expense that you have gone to as well as the time it has taken to establish and now maintain this cache for all to enjoy. This was a nice quick find which is just as well with so many of us searching. Thank you.

Last stop before the turn to Longreach there is a few new caches in Barcaldine.It was a nice drive up and the weather was great, gees even bumped into a few other cachers along the way.The excitement is building now as I start the road in and collecting the roadside caches into Longreach.

QOGM 2023 Longreach Day 16. Barcaldine Day 3. Barcaldine and then a late drive to Longreach. Fitzy_1965 and Albida33 are on our trip in early spring to Longreach. Most of the Barcaldine caches were done by me last year, but there were plenty in the region for Fitzy to visit before we headed to the lunch time event at the new water ski lake. We were very happy to meet up with caching companions even though not all the journeys had gone smoothly. After a long slow lunch it was time to get hooked up to the van and head west to Longreach. We did a few of the caches done along the way but did not even make it to Longreach before stopping at the afternoon tea event at Camden station. We were late, so only stayed for the formalities before heading the last leg into town to get a site and set up for the evening. The afternoons are hot in he sun but the place we had by the pool was great.Having a few roadside caches to do on the way west made for an enjoyable afternoon, even if we did have to watch the clock.Thanks for the cache artesiancacher44278.4 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2018 June Illumination A#382**Albida**

Longreach Day 6
We had a big day out with the Snakepitters today,
Our 1st stop was Ilfracombe, mens shed markets & a presentation of a cheque to them for the work done for QOGM.
We then continued our journey onto Barcaldine, a relaxing lunch break on the verandah of the new water area.
A few caches on our return trip before stopping at the outback station, where country hospitality was given to all of us.
Back to camp for a happy hour at the Muddy Duck
What a great way to tour the country following the geocaching trail.
Thanks to the CO for placing this cache

Day 108 of our greynomad trip up north from Vic, after a the JLWEvents in Wudinna SA, a tour of Maralinga and caching to claim LGAs in the Eyre Peninsula, through to Alice Springs, Uluru, Darwin, Kakadu and Litchfield we continue our journey back south to Vic through Longreach to attend QOGM. It is also day 107 of a streak.

Heading off to Jericho with baby & Mrs gopher and this is one we stopped for, we paused here the other day, but a shire worker had just pulled out the pressure washer and was cleaning the handbasin, so we moved on knowing we would be passing through again.
Cache and log good ?

A huge road train made provided some protection from muggles so grabbing this one was easy.
