TFTC smile 20950 Out and about on a Rainy day grabing a cache to try and keep a challenge going signed as GS1947 on small logs On a trip to Maryborough to fine a few caches with Chamad with the 4x4 attributes I need a few more And a oldie for a oldie It's Party time at GCARTY0 - 05 October 2025 Sunshine Coast come and join us for a great time Thank you Bender3642 for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Took longer than it should have, but thanks for the bushwalk.

Staying in Hervey Bay, we explored Howard and surrounds today.An easy 4x4 in today, no mud about and a quick find here.Cache and contents in good condition.Many thhanks for your cache placement here.

Our last cache for the day, drove into the forest to within about 100 meters before geoewife kicked me out to go on foot!! All good with the cache. TFTC TheWombat74

Able to drive to within 100 metres of gzCamry no issuesCache in good condition TFTC

There was a bit of mud and a few puddles on Beelbi Creek Road so we didnt think there would be too much trouble driving into GZ. Clearly it has been pizzing down over the last couple of days because at times there was more water than track. My car got a great wash - with mud.I did have to throw the car into 4WD because there were a couple of puddles where we couldnt see the ground and they spanned a fair way. At least we knew no one else was in the area unless they were on a jet ski.I was expecting the last 90 metre walk from the car to be a boggy one as well but surprisingly it was all dry. Now we just had to swim our way back to the main road. tftc

Out caching with CaptainVimes. We managed to get within 80m before leaving the car and wading through the long grass for a quick find. Thanks for the fun TheWombat74

The country of Klatch is primarily desert, and popular modes of transport include camels and magic carpets.

Day two of our Easter Holiday trip, and we were starting the day by heading from Maryborough to Hervey Bay to grab a few particular caches in our list before continuing our journey to Rockhampton and finally stopping at our week’s destination in Yeppoon.
A drive down the track until we were about 100metres out, then we walked through the bush the rest of the way, stopping for a photo or two of some fungi along route.
Cache found quickly and log signed before we headed back to the car and on our way to Rockhampton with a stop in Miriam Vale for lunch.
Thanks for the cache TheWombat74.

Found trekkin past with mates

Found it with TBU1BIKESU TFTC

During our stay in Pialba, we went on a little caching tour.

Tftc azwok

Found it

Family camping trip nearby for Xmas holidays. Took a day trip to the coast via these geos. Came slightly unprepared in thongs for trekking into the bush. Geodaughter located with me. TFTC

We have been camped south of Hervey Bay for a few days catching up with friends. Today we travelled further north for a visit with my cousin but had done some research and nominated two caches that I really wanted to find up this way.
This one because it is older than most and it included what possibly could be a 4WD track which would appeal to mostly muggle Pa. Despite all the rain it still didn't turn out to be a challenging drive to within 100m of GZ. Here I jumped out of the car and made my way over for a quick find and sign.
TFTC and for maintaining it Azwok . Take a FP .

Since I couldn’t go to Townsville. I decided that Maryborough was the place to cache day 1. Found 71 dnf 2. Over all was a good day caching.
Thank you for the placement of this Geoart.

Day 2, up to Bundaberg today, had a target cache of course I need it for challenge cache. Plus 3 AL’s and the virtual.

Sorry for the generic log.

A planned trip north, but some time to spare this morning so decided on a few Maryborough caches that have long been on my target list for one challenge or goal or another. I have looked at this cache on my map many a time over the years - and for some reason had always assumed I'd need a full 4WD experience, time to navigate up some horrible half-track and then a muddly bush bash to get to final GZ. So with the ex missus on board this was never going to happen. Well, today I was on my own, so this was a target. Umm. I drove to within 80m of GZ along a muddy (it's been raining) but otherwise fairly flat and easily followed dirt road. And then a short amble over tot he obvious spot for GZ. This was not hard at all, and such a lovely area. I am sad I took so long to get here. Leaving a FP for all this cache has come to mean to me, the lovely area and the mental challenge this needlessly became.

Thanks azwok for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #10172}*

What a great cache, I love the bush ones. Took me a bit to find, but it often does for me. The log looks a little worse for wear.

**TFTC**

TFTC. We were in the area chasing some of the newer caches in the area. Followed the track up and walked the last 100 or so metered to GZ for a quick and easy find

**Found Thursday 10-June-2021 at 10:52 Smiley #1249**

One of my daughters who lives in Hervey Bay was getting an award today at school, so I made the trip from Beaudesert to Hervey Bay and back again in a day. Thankfully there's still a couple of caches between there that I hadn't gotten yet to break the long drive up.

895 kilometres in one day is a lot of driving! This was cache 17 of 33

Love a cache you can 4WD to! After bush bashing for a while, and having some fun, it wasn't long before I got to within 100 metres of the cache and figured that was close enough to walk in. As I approached and saw the fence line, I realised I had made the right call and the cache was quickly in hand. Cache is a little soggy though.

Thanks for the cache **azwok**

Tftc azwok, slight detour on the way to Howard. 4X4 track was in good condition, bit tight between trees in a few spots but no bush pin striping today.
Quick find for the cache which is in good condition

We took the long way, traipsing through the bush on foot. TFTC

Found it. Didn’t bring a pen wrote in charcoal. Rookie mistake. Took the crocodile left some ooshies

Our first day caching on return from our caravanning venture. Luckily it was overcast in the morning as when the sun came up later in the day, she was a little bit on the warm side. Caches all good.

Fun drive into the bush, our last one for our visit to this region, after staying at Trinity Islands Camping ground.
Found waypoint coords along Beelbi Ck Rd, but as we were in the Landcruiser opted to drive down the 4 WD track. Aahh the hill ! Stopped there then found our way through bush to GZ. Cache in good order, put log in plastic bag and left a crocodile. TFTC

A few weeks back I was asked if I would like to go on a weekend caching trip chasing some target caches. With a leave passed granted, if I got all my work done at home, and seeing i would be on holidays anyways, a green light soon appeared.
Our first day of caching in a group and with target caches set, we were off. We had some multi’s, oldies, letterboxes, trads, puzzles and a lab series on the list to collect today, yes a busy day. The list did get added to as we passed a few others along the way.
This was one from the list, there’s always a story with each cache and this one was no different. We missed the main track and took a secondary “more 4wd track” in, I enjoyed the track though my navigator didn’t see the fun side. We ended up parking on the main road and walking in along some bike tracks. We found the cache and then found a road that could have taken us directly to the cache, doh. Anyways we used this track to get us out and then back to the cars.
The cache was in good order considering its age and with the log signed and cache replaced as found it was off to our next target cache. Thank you for placing this one here.

One of the first on our weekend trip caching north! Great 4WD track indeed and cache still in good order

What an adventure to grab this old cache. We took a very rough 4wd track to get off the main road, only to make it out the other side to another super smooth road. Somehow we missed the actual track in and parked up and made the walk, coming across the track halfway through. We took the easy way out and then walked down the road to the car. All in good condition.

My car took the more sensible approach, followed by "where have the other lot gone"? Eventually, we met up and the cache was found. TFTC!

Spent a long weekend picking up caches around the area with great company! Thanks for placing and adding to our amazing adventures

Thanks for the cache. Log needs replacing, wet

Good cache, took you off a track but not too far. Left a monkey. Found with Geoninjaz

Some heavy rain forecasts scuttled the planned Bromance camping weekend in North NSW. The forecast around Bundy looked reasonable, and there were 70 FTF's with some generous DT up for grabs around Bundy . After a full day caching in Bundy yesterday and a restful night in an airbnb granny flat in Howard, we headed out.

Seffnjarah had already found this cache, but agreed to drive his beloved 4WD as close as possible for Deznjez and I. He got pretty close as it was only a 120 m walk through the bush to the cache. All in good order here. Many thanks azwok

Muggle partner and I were on our way to our favourite beachfront lunch spot at Toogoom. He must have been feeling relaxed because he happily agreed to come along and find this oldie. A bit of a walk and the cache was soon in hand. It's amazing how green the flora becomes after a bit of rain! Tftc

While spending a few nights in Howard we decided to attempt some of the nearby caches.

We tried for this one first as we thought there may be less muggles around on a Friday rather than over the weekend. We passed one 4x4 with a trailer and dirt bikes but they were heading in the opposite direction to the cache.

We took a new cache container and log book with us to replace the wet one but someone had beaten us to it. We had put our stamp in our new log book and then not taken a pen with us so we tore out the page with our stamp on it and left it in the cache

Many thanks for the hide TheWombat74

Kids loved the walk out here through the bush. Was an awesome find, took trackable and left butterfly, policeman Lego figure, glass stone.

Got quite close in the Jimny followed by a short walk. Coords are good, all is well for this oldie. Left a Geocoin that has been with us for a while. Thanks azwok for placing a cache here,

Greynomads - Bill and Diana TFTC TNLN SL

Bit of a walk in but well worth it. TFTC.

Could have driven closer. Safe from Muggles. TFTC

Long walk from beelbi creek road. Especially with kids. But found!

I know, this is bad... Today's date is 24/09/22 and I found this cache with Fairy Mother (Mum) over three years ago!

I have so many caches and field notes that I have not logged that they just keep popping up all over the place. I think that I would have hundreds that I have not logged!

While up visiting Mum, we thought that we would get out of the house and grab a cache or two. It is always great when we get a moment to do something we love together, chat and cache.

AS ALWAYS, we took the harder way to the cache... But, for us, that is half the fun!

Before heading out, we read the caching logs and it was mentioned that the cache need maintenance. So with that knowledge, we had a spare container with us.

Upon finding the cache, it indeed was in need of a little TLC.

We replaced the container and removed the water-damaged items.

We left our names in the logbook and rehid the cache for the following geocachers to find.

Many thanks for this cache azwok!

We decided to get out of the house and go for a drive. wife wanted to go to river Heads and have lunch by the water so we headed off and grabbed some food on the way, upon getting there we couldn't find a park anywhere close so gave up on the idea and decided to go for a drive somewhere else. We both couldn't decide on somewhere close enough so we had a quick look on the geocache app. We picked this place to take a little adventure and began zigzagging our way along some back roads to the cache. Once arriving at the entrance we were unfortunately we were shortly met with piles of dumped rubbish, couches and household items, (bloody grubs )
We snaked our way along the tracks trying to get as close as possible and ended up parking 90m from the cache before walking in with the dog.
Cache was shortly located in the obvious spot but unfortunately the cache was entirely full of water and the log book soaked through. I didn't have anything with me to replace the container or book, but emptied it out, signed the book with a felt pen and sealed as best as possible before rehiding.

Cache owner may wish to replace log /container when they can, or maybe someone can replace logbook and sandwiche bag.
TFTC, and thanks for the mini adventure

Soggy log. Not far off the track. Parked at hill

With the rest of the regular Bromanceketeer geocaching posse either back at work, interstate or oversees and my family heading down the coast for a few days, I decided to head north on a solo geocaching mission targeting some caches around Rainbow Beach and some other unloved caches along the way. Having completed the Rainbow Beach to-do list, with a short stop over in Maryborough, I then made my way north to Hervey Bay where I spent the night sleeping in the car. With a new day, there were more caches to find heading further north including this one.

With no previous finds in the last 12 months, this was a definite target on my to-do list. With the help of the waypoint I found the track entrance and drove in a couple of hundred metres or so short of GZ. There the track forked and not knowing which one to take, decided to park up and head off on foot. A good choice as neither option appeared to get me any closer. A short hunt later and the cache was found, although the contents were quite wet. Luckily my pen was able to write enough on the page to inscribe my name. TFTC

Driving around after breaky in toogoom.

~2:41PM | #637

Parked at the co-ordinates posted and ran the way in. Eventually found. Cache and contents were in good condition. Someone pulled over as I was leaving to see if I needed help, so had to quickly decline and get out of there!

TFTC, TheWombat74.

went out with Trower tribe 4x4ing hoping that this cache was there , after 2 false starts { GPS directions by little miss Campbell and Trower little miss } Trower senior found it .

went out 4wding with Campbell Clan looking for this one , all the time hoping it was still there , Trower Senior found it and was happy because it was his first find , cache is in good condition .

Great spot. A bit of 4x4ing.

Found it. Great hide. tested out navigation skills.

Did a bit of bush bashing for this one - be sure to wear closed in shoes. Tftc

Detoured for a look at the bush. Parking coords gave the turnoff thankfully. Track in good condition and I got through with an AWD with clearance, but could see how this could turn to a mess in the rain. Thanks for the journey! Left a lego mini fig.

Had never attempted this previously as I didn't have a 4wd but having recently bought one, geopop, the geopups and I came out to claim this smiley. TFTC TheWombat74

Hitched a ride with geofille in her fourby so we didn't have to walk too far to the good sized cache.
Thanks Wombat.

Using some care the 4wd track was reasonable and nice to be driving in the bush - lovely walk in the bush to find this cache that was in good condition.
TFTC TheWombat74

Great find, gentle 4wd down the track. Easy walk TFTC

Was a good spot. Nice walk too.

Was a good spot. Nice walk too.

Out for a stroll for a few caches today. It's a rather bit too warm for me, but my daughter keeps saying, "get over it-dad". On to the next one. Continued to cache in Bargara for lunch, which was just excellent.
Thanks for this cache Wombat74

Tftc best one in ages.

Nice walking through the bush, traded for the yoyo and it broke straight away hah

Awesome bush find:) parked 500m away and walked. Took yoyo and left a merit stamp:) tftc

lucky us I have a 4wd to drive there no worries we found it cool TFTC

OH dear drive to Bump Bump Bump on the track way ... Hide well.. thank

Parked around 80m from GZ, nice bush walk into the cache. Had a little look around in the forby.

We had missed this one yesterday when we passed, but after a nice kayak on the Burrum River, we headed in here today on our way back to Hervey Bay.
Took the 4WD track and had ourselves a nice short walk.
Cool area
Thanks for the cache TheWombat74 and thanks FifiMeow.and.son for replacing

Nice serenity!! Good area for kids they loved it! Cheers.

Found cache OK. Drove along the track to within 100m of it. No muggles around this one. Love finding caches in the bush. Tnln TFTC

Geoson and I parked at the suggested area and walked down to this one in the early morning. The bush regrowth is in full swing after a fire went through there with plenty of wildlife about. Great spot. SL TFTC

Love these types of cache hides. The LandCruiser loves these 4x4 tracks so we parked just short of 100 mts from GZ. [^] TFTC TheWombat74

Went out to maintain this one, gave it a total make over including a new container that is more waterproof. New log boook and some goodies. Amazing that this one escaped the bush fire

Managed to get in here.... Log is completely saturated, needs replacing ASAP

Dire need of maintenance

As mentioned in my log below. The cache was half full of water when Crusty and I found it and the log book was too wet to be able to sign it.
I'm sorry that I didn't have my emergency repair kit or I would have replaced the log in a zip loc plastic bag.
Otherwise it was a good place for a cache hide.

I found this cache while out riding from the Ulysses club agm in Maryborough with my mate Madwizzard. tftc.
Crusty.

Went out caching with my mate Crustyvarmint and we found this one after taking my nice shiny Virago cruiser through the bush. I'm sure we spotted GZ at about the same time, but Crusty retrieved the cache container which unfortunately had been full of water at some stage. everything that could rust was rusted and everything else was very soggy. The log book was way too soggy to sign it so we tipped the remainder of the water out of the container and put the cache back.
TFTC TNLN.

We took the four wheel drive option on this one, no one around today. SL TFTC

This one hasn't been found in a while. In good condition though. TFTC

17/08/2012 21:40 5 of 8. After returning to 'Shells on Serena' to collect my walking pole that I had left there be accident. I celebrated by going out for more caches and chose this as the next one. I set the Parking coordinates and parked the car just off the track at the start of the 4WD road. It was a pretty easy walk down the track but sort of creepy. Eventually I got to within 90m of the cache and had to go bush bashing. Even this was now easy as recent fuel reduction burning had removed all te undergrowth so I got there pretty quick. From 30m away I was able to see the hide and a minute later I was extracting the sizeable container and signing the log. I must say I was happy to be leaving (after ensuring I had left nothing behind this time). Even when I got in the car I was in hurry to get out of there and headed off toward Maryborough. TFTC TheWombat74 TNLN SL

found this cache at 1230.
A fire went through here only a couple of days ago.
The ground still hot in places.
Even though the fire has cleared most of the underbrush, the cache was not affected, and was in good order.

I'm not quite sure which one needs a new container, either this one or 'Off the beaten track' has a takeaway food container for the cache, they are just not suitable, the plastic breaks down, and definately not water proof.
Please feel free to delete this log if I've got it wrong.

On our way to 1770 with my new bride for our honeymoon, tagging along my family, this includes, my daughter 'doscrapbooking', her geo mother 'TricaC2', geograndson 'Sweet Bacon' and the rest, muggle son inlaw and muggle grandson.

The muggles in the family stayed in the car, they had had their exercize for the day on the previous cache.

Found while on holidays with Doscrapbooking, my daughter from Sweden and her family, and Sweet and Sour,and his wife. A great trip and good to find all the caches on our way. TFTC

First time out 4x4ing did hill with RRF TNLN TFTC

cleaned everything up. replaced log. everything good with cache now.

due to illness have been unable to get to caches, all will be maintained over the easter weekend

Entered via the power line road and past a 4B and caravan camped beside the track made a right hand turn down another track,every thing was rosie until we were confronted with a large hill and it looked a bit to narrow for our 4x4 so of on foot we went. This would be a good place for motor bike mugglers,

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

After meeting up with Gaz'n'Kab and Fangsoki at a nearby cache I suggested we nab this one too. Took the Fangsoki geomobile in but met a huge puddle and had to leg it the final hundred metres or so. I'm certainly glad to have this one knocked off the map as it had been annoying me somewhat being unfound and all. A great place here, nice to be away from the noise of Bruce for a while after the big haul from Brisbane. TFTC.

Out with Captain Terror and Gaz'n'Kab today, we pottered warily to this one in my car. The terrain became average and I decided to drive no further - so we legged it in. A nice walk in the bush in here. Not many people except some muggles camping about 1km from GZ!

We found the cache after a small hunt and in good condition. TFTC azwok

We decided to give the driving a go, and soon encountered some not so nice terrain

We made the walk in to GZ quite quickly, and soon had the cache in hand

TFTC azwok, who would have thought muggles would have been caravaning just down the track?

GAz'n'Kab

Yep, the cache is truly well away from muggles! I drove in with my 2WD geomobile until I encountered water over the track. Backed up to a 'layby', parked and walked the rest of the way to GZ. I realised halway to GZ that I probably could have driven closer along another track. However it's a great area and I had a nice walk to help keep me fit and healthy. Cache was in good condition. Saw a strange creature in a tree on the way back - see photo. TFTC azwok.

Parked near road, pleasant bush hike to GZ
no mugglers around today, very nice!
TFTC!

Plenty of setbacks finding this one, but with a lot of perseverance and colourful language, we cracked it in the end!
