We did some night caching in Biloela as we were just passing through from Brisbane to Emerald. The 1st part was quick and easy and took us to a nice arbour. The co-ords then took us to a bridge? We didn't find anything other than a load of toads?
Did the reading, the transposition, the math then located the cache, Signed the log 9:30am, Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC- JJ+KT
Seems that I was supposed to find a further cache ? I left a new logsheet at the worked out co-ords, looks like the second was not to be found perhaps the logsheet I left should be made the final cache !

I should have read the previous logs!!!!
spent quite some time looking for this one, found the first cache quickly, but not the second
I don't feel quite so disappointed now I know others didn't find it either
thanks for the cache, great views I would not have otherwise seen.

I should have read the previous logs for this one before dragging a horde of lookers with me on their first geocache hunt.
WE took a while to find the first cache, very tricky. Then took off with gusto to find the next cache. Either we were too stupid to find it or the cache has disappeared because we were unable to locate it. Very disappointing. sob sob.

This cache has disappeared and needs replacing - confirmed by a previous finder who was with me at the time.
Found the first stage easily but the final cache was nowhere to be seen. This was verified by a previous finder. Did notice what could have been the lid floating in the nearby water. Thanks for the challenge anyway.
Found the first part easily enough, however the clues from here gave me an in accessible place, so I must have transposed them badly.
TFTC, I hope to have better luck next visit

Had a bit of trouble determining which paragraph was which but that didn't matter as young digger found WP1 unassisted. We headed off to GZ,pity it's so dry, GPSr wouldn't settle, one minute we're right on GZ next we're 49km away,I hope it's not buggered.Spent about 20 minutes looking around before giving up.Thanks for the hunt guys.
Oh no I thought, not another run around multi, but no this one was OK. Final GZ might be a little tougher now that the rains have come, so I had to find a suitable tool to extract the cache. Safe and sound. TFTC TNLN
A nice easy find today. We had obtained the final location on a previous visit. No swaps. tftc!

Spent the day in Biloela chasing caches and this unknown didn't disappoint. I had to come back later to GZ as there were children playing nearby on my first attempt. The GPSr was very insistent on the location, but I couldn't find the container so spent a bit of time looking everywhere else. Eventually returned to the indicated GZ and with a bit of determination/desperation extracted the cache. What a relief. I'd already had one DNF and didn't want another one. Great to see an unknown cache out here. They are a bit or a rariety in the rural areas. TN/LN/SL. The Lost Bunch's Honeymoon TB visited.
needed to move on a local couple before getting gz coords but found easily enough after another muggle lost his phone (possible stoned and drunk) strange for Bilo tftc tnln
We didn't find this one today. We found all of the information we needed, and found the micro at WP2 with the final coordinates.
We went to GZ, but couldn't find the cache. We found a very "cachey" looking spot, but it was empty.
We will have to have another go next time we get back up here.
Thanks for the cache!

7:45am
Found on an early morning blitz on the way to Cania Gorge for an abseiling weekend. Loved this little multi - although caution should be advised when it has been raining, as I ended up covered in mud by the end of the search. The paint on WP2 is also starting to crack, so I replaced the container in its most camouflaged position.
Took Nelly TB. Left Geocoin.

Pretty certain we worked out the co-ords for WP2, but no sign of anything there!! Had a look in what could have been hiding places, but no luck
At last no one around and we were able to complete this pleasant little cache. Took the EU coin but have had trouble getting a match on the id no. to log we have taken it. Thanks JJ + KT
Great little park though it badly needs water
Found all the clues OK
Took a koala and left Aussie Coin TFTCSL
did this one while waitting for some kids to clear out off another park in town...
Man wasn't sure what constituted a paragraph ... derived a couple of positions and went for the closest ... [^] got to get it right occaisionally. Worked through the stages arriving at a likely spot...and managed to retrieve the cache albeit, with a little bit of difficulty (somebody has long flexible arms) [?]
SL and restashed it in a position a bit more friendly.

... now back to 'Don't Melt'

Found this one with Scamp around 11:35. We have been to this park many many times and it was great to see a cache here now. This cache took us about 30minutes to complete. This was our third and last cache for the day.

last part of cache was a bit harder because there was such a large error on the GPS, then GPS battery died on mum and I so we were on our owns to figure out where the cache was hiding.. Low and behold found it after a half hour search. Took the Finland Geocoin and left the Yosemite National Park Geocoin. Found Cache at 1.15pm
This was to be our fifth on our Biloela Assault Trip. Were successful in finding first part of the cache but think made a mistake in the next lot of co-ordinates. Will try again another time. TFTC
Yeeees. My first FTF. Took a bit of finding. First one OK, but two hours later and just about to give up, "Is that it I can see" BINGO.
Thanks for the cache and hunt. Great to see another local geocacher. Took Anglo pen, (used to work there once) and left keyring.

Not a bad cache for Bilo. It took about 3/4 hour to find this one. I thought I new where it was, but just couln't find it. In the end it popped up.
I think you two Bilo cachers are just putting those caches out when I not in town so you can be the FTF.
Took nothing left Koala key ring
