Logs
We continued today our tour of Queensland and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Multi-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 Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie for the generation of this nice cache Dogwood (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.

Had a small meal break in time to run down after a bacon and egg Sanger after working out the finals.Wasnt where I thought it be but I found that little fella in the end.Cheers
Spent the last night in Miles on our TEA party trip around the South West of Qld. After the best nights sleep I've had on the trip woke to see what caches were nearby. The number of FPs got my attention. In short time I had a solution to the multi and ventured forth to check it out.Being verry verry quiet driving up to the slumbering vans, crept down the trail and started my search. In no time found a well hidden cache. Thanks bedmakerTG for this cooks tour of Miles.
TFTC and the find. I did the calculations yesterday but decided to find the cache today on our way to a friends property. Im from the Hunter Valley and staying at the showground in Miles
Worthy of a fav point. Walked round from staying at the Showgroundsnice walk and pleased to end with a smiley face after the last DNFTFTC
#5695 [18:50] long weekend ahead, lucky coincidence allowed me to join crookedpete to his carnarvon trip. first day - many caches all the way to roma including this one. thanks for that, it's always nice to stop, stretch legs and claim smiley
I love squeezing every last second out of public holidays which usually combine with RDO's at work. So, with a 4 day long weekend in the offing , a few weeks ago I reviewed my adventure wish list and decided that a solo hike Carnarvon Gorge and specifically Battleship Spur would fit the bill.Viko Cz subsequently messaged me to say he was back in Australia for business for a few weeks and had some weekends free for a geocaching adventure, and was also keen to visit Carnarvon. Today, we left Brisbane at lunchtime, heading for Roma for the night. The plan was to get out of Brisbane's traffic, past Toowoomba and then collect any interesting caches along the way. Poor VikoCZ had not had any lunch, so when we arrived in Miles at dinner time he was ready to chew my arm. A quick lap of town and we selected the best looking pub for a feed. With the hunger at bay, we set about finding this cache, which had piqued our interest with all the favourite points. I had already done some homework on this one, so we headed straight to my final coordinates, where thankfully the clue made perfect sense. VikoCz set about searching in various T3 locations, when I found the well camouflaged container. Many thanks Bedmaker & TG. Have a crooked favourite point.Pete#7,842
We travelled into the outback of Queensland - towards Charlesville.We did a lot of puzzling, research and planning in the run-up to our tour.This is our first major tour into the outback.We start our tour in Toowoomba and continue via the A2 to Chinchilla to the big melon. A longer stop was made at Miles Historical Village Museum. In Roma we also visited the big bottle tree.On our 3rd day, we start our tour in Mitchell and continue to Morven.We planned a few days around Charlesville, Morven, Augathella and Cooladdi for the respective trails.We had beautiful weather - and a wonderful time in the Queensland outback. We enjoyed the breathtaking landscape with its red sand, impressive animals, starry nights and golden sunsets.We would like to thank all the owners for the great cachesTeam sissifalke
Our family are relocating from Rural Queensland to Canberra. And aiming to do 100 caches in our travels.Thank-you for the cache, I enjoyed exploring Miles and sharing a fav pointLeft a painted rock as trinket near by. .:' __ :'__ .'`__`-'__``. :__________.-' :_________: :_________`-; `.__.-.__.'
We are still slowly working our way back to Logan Village after qogm 23 at Longreach. We have driven past this old cache, at least three times. We made time to get this great old cache dune and dusted. Tftc
Day 24With the QOGM event now over it was time to continue our journey alone back to Coffs Harbour. Visiting some new towns and LGAs we explored the countryside, Big Things, water tower art and of coarse many caches.Solved this multi and made the pick up as we traveled through Miles.Thanks bedmakerTG for the multi placement.
33,573. Found during our Queensland Outback GeoMuster (QOGM) 2023 Longreach Adventure - a 33 day epic tour of Northern NSW and Outback Queensland finding many caches, attending great events and catching up with awesome Cachers along the way.Queensland Outback GeoMuster (QOGM) 2023 Longreach Adventure Day 29. Today we packed up, did our best to clean out Roma (I had plenty to find as when I came through here last year I only stopped for lunch and 1 cache), then continued East to Chinchilla. We still had 5 days and lots of caches to go on this trip. This was the next one on the list. Quickly found once at GZ. This avenges a DNF from last year - Yay ! Signed as F65 and A33 as required. Replaced the cache as found, then we continued on our journey.Thanks to all the COs who put out these caches !!
Slowly working our way to Dalby after attending Qogm 2023 for cmca National rally. Did your Dogwood today. 29 September 2023 4:35 pm Tyfc Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie total caches now 6672 .
After having a dip in the artesian bath at Mitchell this morning, we headed off towards Chinchilla and collected a few smilies en route. Collected the information needed and soon had the cache in hand, deserves a favourite point for the hide. TFTC bedmakerTG
JACS and I had hatched a plan a while back to book leave for a road trip out west and to attend the last QOGM. Today was the first big day Dalby to St George with me collecting a swag of oldies JACS spread has! Still managed a few for her and an awesome day in the truck together! Awesome location for the final. Good old Ludwig ! Fave point
It’s happening, it’s finally happening! Alyce and I are going places and grabbing caches while on our way to QOGM.
Our day started early in Caboolture South and with the car packed and a list of caches dialled in we were on our way. We made our way along the Dag’ Highway to Blackbutt and Yarraman then down the New England Highway grabbing a few caches in the vicinity than arriving at the Warrego and taking that all the way to Morven while stopping at several places in between. Unfortunately we had to leave it at that due to fading light and made our way to Augathella for the night.
What an adventure! The places you visit and the experiences you have is something else.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Thanks for the cache. This was very nice. I enjoyed it while going to QOGM. The clue did help a bit, and it was overall a quite nice cache.. A nice break from the car...
Earlier in the day while driving from Brisbane (enroute to QOGM), I was telling my son about a cache I couldn’t find last time we were out this way because it was flooded / extremely muddy. But I couldn’t remember where it was. When coming into Miles I almost talked TevlaGaming out of doing the multi cache. But I hadn’t looked at my account, at that point. It was only when we pulled up at the final, solved waypoint that I realised it was one and the same cache I’d referred to earlier in the day. Favourite point from me. Glad to change this DNF to a smiley!
Well my trip up to QOGM has officially started and I’m 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 it is time to start heading west.
I have never been up this way before so it will be interesting to see what towns I come across in my travels.
After spending the night in Texas I was heading to The Pink Pub at Dulacca for the night.
Continuing along the Warrego Hwy on parts that I haven’t travelled on before.
A very interesting name for a creek and after doing some maths I had a set of coords.
A great hide was soon located in an interesting area.
A fav goes out to you for this one.
Thanks Bedmaker and Lat&Long.Junkie.

bunadoorian and I are staying nearby so we came to find the information we required. I made the calculations and we enjoyed the walk to GZ. bunadoorian soon had the cache in hand. TFTC and for bringing us here Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie.
Grub62 made some calculations at the 1st waypoint. Then after a pleasant walk and a bit of a search the logbook was in hand. But sadly it was full so luckily Grub62 came to the rescue again and provided a portion of her note book to fill the gap. TFTC.
A nice walk to find info, then a walk around town before coming back to GZ. TFTC with Capricorn Dancer
Sea Reason and I were camped at the nearby RV park, and as usual out came the phones to look for geocaches. A cache with that many favs should not be ignored. So, after haggling over the numbers for a while, we wandered off to find GZ and the prize was soon in hand. A nice little cache.
The log is very full.

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Today we headed off from Chinchilla and onto Miles, where we will stay for the night. A great opportunity to grab some around the area. Different and challenging hides.
Grabbed what was needed for some likely co-ords. Then wandered in along the path to make a quick find, in an interesting area.
Thanks bedmakerTG for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Driving with a muggle friend from Bendigo Victoria to Rockhampton qld over 2 days and stopped here to continue my ongoing streak.
A nice quick multi and an easy find at gz. Today's cache makes day 79 of my ongoing streak.

Having grabbed the necessary info last night while on my walk around the track, I calculated a GZ while out at dinner.
That was close enough for a morning constitional today and once at GZ, a short search soon had me signing the log at 07:30.
All worth a fave point methinks.
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie.

On our way west on a very short outback roadtrip that covered many Miles, not just this one. We made a stop here to put air in the tyres and fill up with fuel across the road, while one of us collected the data needed to find GZ. Cool little hidey spot here, and another LGA find for the stats too!
Took a while to spot.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to get all the counties, or councils, or "LGA's"?....... well, I have learned the hard way, albeit quickly, to do the "hardest" ones first!
We could have just driven from Canberra to Perth to get the amount of kilometres, but instead we thought we would push ourselves a bit harder, drive a bit further.....and do the south west corner of Queensland!!
It has to be said now....Queensland is a bloody large state. I mean ridiculously large! We drove east back to Brisbane for almost three full days! Yes, we stopped for a series of letterboxes, and all of the 'county' areas, and even a FTF, but it was ludicrous!
After our flight from Canberra, and collecting our rental, we head off west from Brisbane, on a mission to collect every LGA we could get.
Aquilus1 lost her voice after the first day, which made the rest of the trip much easier for me....I had to do all of the talking, and it helped I could argue both sides of every argument....and I always won!
Outback town hotels and pubs are so cool, and I love stopping at them. When I started caching I was wary as I only knew city pubs, which are very, very different.
I tried many a schnitty, and the odd steak, pizza or burger.... this truly was the outback pub tour of Queensland.
The Qantas museum was a special highlight, as I am a proper Qantas fanboy......I have done waaaay too many miles on the red roo!

Easily worked through the calculations. GZ took a little search, T rating is very accurate!
Greyhams and myself have been on a mission to see as much of Australia and visit as many of the LGA's as possible for some time now. This trip was Queensland, flying into Brisbane and a full 8 days on the road stopping for as many of the caches of interest we had time for as we passed through.
Leaving Brisbane northwest was our direction, as far west as we could go all the way to Birdsville. Of course, it is a Geocaching trip so it zigged and zagged as needed to cover the areas required. Yulaba, Charleville, Barcaldine, Ilfracombe, Longreach, Windorah, Birdsville, back to Windorah, Quilpie, Thargomindah, Cunnamulla, St George, detour to Moonie for a FTF, Wyaga, Warick and the home run back into Brisbane for our flight home.
Love the driving as we left behind the trees and entered red earth and sparseness, always a surprise though passing through areas of yellow grassy plains, although generally open flat land in all directions was what greet us. Wildlife was in abundance and never have we seen so much. Emus dominated for 1000's of km, cattle as we passed through their grazing lands, but also pigs in numbers we didn't expect. Echidnas, goats, horses, a giant goanna, foxes, and birdlife that does well on the overnight roo casualties. Still no camels though, they have to be out there somewhere!
The country hospitality was a highlight, great friendly people, Queensland hotels full of history and character. They all were great but the Wellshot in Ilfracombe needs a huge shout out for being the stand out of this trip. Leaving the car at Windorah and flying into Birdsville not only saved a day of driving but the scenery flying low over the countryside was spectacular and memorable.
Also memorable was waking up on the second day with the best case of laryngitis I have ever experienced... no voice, none! To top it, it lasted the full trip only returning by the end, I'm not sure if I pity GreyHams for having to deal with me squeak in an attempt to talk and silenced, or he had the best trip ever!
The days were full, either full of km's or caches but never dull with so much to see or do. The caching grounds are rich thanks to the QOGM events, it's definitely a great location to hold them. Many thanks to all the CO's for your caches that helped guide us as we travelled through Queensland on a great trip.

Had collected the information on a previous trip and made a quick find in a deserted park before 6am. Heading home to Charters Towers from Miles today. Neat little hide, thanks for the cache.
Heading off for a weekend road trip to St George for a conference with a group of friends from Brisbane, I took the opportunity to explore the local areas and grab some caches along the way of course!
It was a wonderful experience and I was able to see so much. Thanks for all the caches along the way, and I promise I'll be coming back to get the ones I didn't chance upon this trip.
After a weekend of friends and meeting new people, I grabbed a few more caches before I left St George for the long trip home. With a couple of friends grabbing lunch, I arranged to meet up with them in Miles for some caching along the long road home.
After a long, lonely solo trip down the Condamine-Meandarra Road with no phone reception, I finally arrived in Condamine and made a beeline for the nearest bathroom opportunity! Stunning views of the Condamine river. A quick drive up to Miles to catch up with friends.
Oz_Bean_Counter was already in the throes of solving the first stage by the time I got there, but it wasn't long before we, and CaptainTerror were off to the final stop. A quick search around and the cache was found, log signed, and off we went to our next cache location.
Thanks so much for maintaining this cache.

On a road trip with friends to attend a Toastmasters conference for the weekend. It's a long drive from Brisbane to St George, but oh so worth it! The stop overs in Dalby, Chinchilla, Miles, Meandarra and Condamine were just so stunning. And of course, I love country hospitality (and chicken parmiganas the size of my face, haha!). Of course, we picked up some caches along the way, with a focus on the oldies. This was one of those caches. Thanks so much for adding to my joy this weekend.

Heading north today stopped here for a pit stop, filled the car up , checked for a cache- one close by, WOW I made that a whole heap harder than I needed too.
Soon on my way to GZ.. Oh I need a TOTT- walk back again. I'm really making this a long stop now.

Thanks for the cache found on our way back to Brisbane from Charlesville great little multi.
Day 2 of my outback travels and the start of my Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster trip for 2022. While Triple Turmoil and I headed out to meet up with the others, it gave us time to grab a few caches along the way. We were aiming to be at the campsite at a reasonable hour so as we could set up in the daylight and see what is around at camp. This was all in readiness for our continuation from last year’s event and a very successful team collaboration with Willis007 and Jacs Team.
Today was a drive from Miles to Charleville, grabbing caches and adventure labs along the way. It was a fun day and we found all caches fairly easily. We signed the logs and replaced caches as found. Thanks for the hides and maintaining them
This was a great multi to do, worthy of a favourite point from me.

It's a rare occasion that we actually enjoy a multi. This was one of those special ones. Interesting information, simple to calculate the final, quick and easy, and the final location was interesting too. Mrs STW slowed things down, being very distracted by the myriad wildflower varieties and picking a selection, but we found it in the end. This might be the very first multi we've dropped a favorite point on!
Six months ago, when we began travelling with our camper trailer, we stopped to look for this one, but someone was camping right at GZ, so we let it go.
Fast forward six months, as we now make our way back to Brisbane, we stopped here again after spending the night in Miles. This time, it was a quick find we have signed the log.
Thanks Bedmaker and lat&long Junkie

On a leisurely caching trip out to QOGM 2022 at Charleville.
Cache found reasonably quickly, in the expected area.
The required numbers were easily attained at the listed co-ords, and then a short walk across the bridge to where I had parked up, and then a quick stroll to GZ. The cache hide is trickier than I expected, but also easier...if that makes sense.
Cache in good condition.

Stopped at this lovely place both times we have come through here. We saw some gawjus green red winged parrots with blue when they lift their wings which came really close, and the girls enjoyed feeding the geese and ducks some fruit and seed.
Stop and go men on the bridge and I drove over it about 6 times after a coffee stop in town ️
Collected the info and headed to GZ. Banging coords made for an easy find. Cache has survived the floods

A good quick multi that was quickly solved and easily found thanks to the good hint. In fact it was the first place I looked.

Hmm - this was a real shame. We were looking forward to doing this old Multi with so many favourite points. We calculated GZ, and when we arrived it matched the clue. However we searched all over with no luck. The one thing we noticed was that there is a new 'girder' there with shiny bolts so maybe it got taken. I hope not.

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 after our calculations and relocation. Some discussion on a safe approach - but in the end we both got a wet shoe.
Thanks Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie for entertaining me at this location.

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.
A quick calculation from the information and then we headed to the cache. Some large puddles on the track and then plenty of soggy ground around the search area but we persevered and found the crafty hide.

After a fantastic time attending QOGM21 in Cunnamulla we stayed the night in Roma as we ran into pouring rain. Today we headed off in 2 car group and picked up a few caches between Roma and Chinchilla as we wanted to be back home before dark.
Cache located, log signed and all replaced as found. TFTC

Found it. Little difficult to get to but Peppa managed to get the cache. With Peppa, pirate Linda and giraffe 18
Found with Peppa Giraffe 18 and 2manytrailers on our Roadtrip to Cunnamulla. Interesting spot to come to not sure about all the favourite points though. Thanks for the cache
Quick find by Peppa. Not sure why there are so many FP’s. Out with PirateLinda and Peppa and 2manytrailers
We’re on our way to Roma to overnight before heading to Cunnamulla for QOGM 2021…
The high favourite points attracted us to this cache… it didn’t take long to work out some co-ordinates and then once at GZ the clue came into play…
It was left to me to contortion my way to the container… tftc…

Lipwig still has some work to do on that bridge if he wants to push the trains through to Uberwald. I don’t think he’ll be able to pull the trick with the Golems again.
Calculated the final and was able to drive right up to it. Thanks for the cache
Approached the new GZ managing to keep out of the water, found the prize without searching too much , however the log is just a bit of mush and too wet to write on

Today was day 8 of 9 long days of travelling and caching for us. Long, but fun. This was the Roma to Chinchilla leg of our trip. This was interesting with the railway sitting in a bog. A lot of delicate walking and climbing to get our hands on the prize.
Found as I meander my way from Adelaide to Cairns.
With no real travel plan and three weeks to get there before I meet up with friends, there has been plenty of opportunity for sightseeing and finding a few selected caches along the way.
The required information was quickly located and final location calculated. The cache took a little bit longer, but was soon found after a short search that required some tiptoeing through the water around GZ.
Nice to find a brand new, unmarked logsheet here!

Day 8 of 8 (Taroom to Toowoomba) of a Queenslander road trip with Kestal, clocking just over 4000km, to tick off boxes for different challenges. Very wet here today and had a small moment when I thought I'd be getting my feet wet but spotted the cache just in time! TFTC Lat&Long Junkie.
After a week of finding myself always in the mud, somehow missed it this time. Worked out B4 leaving home so straight to GZ.
Well, this journey started about 12 months or more ago, skip 2020 and we find ourselves planning a long-overdue road trip. This means one thing ... a cache run would be involved. One or two different routes where planned caches were studied, some more than others (manly puzzle styles), and a plan was hatched.
It includes the most number of puzzles we have ever solved personally, Wherigo's, and even a few 'FTF' (FTF) FTF caches. The distance that was driven is approx. 3500 km. Over some 10 days. 14km of muddy, red, and black soil 4wd only slip-sliding heart-pumping road - which we got through without incident only to get bogged a while later on the side of a tar road doing a U-turn.
The total number of caches found is yet to be determined, could also depend upon my logging them, as those who know me also know my lack of logging or length of time to do so could mean the correct total will never be shown. Still, it’s not about the numbers.
Logs have been signed with any one of the following, JABs, FWBs, TasReach, MEMO, or TR. Often depended upon who was signing the logbook, time of the day, length of the days caching run, sleep-deprived state, condition of the logbook. Penned often in the first available spot (except in the case of new cache), in between other cache's names. Hopefully to help extend the life of a logbook. The date was not often recorded, again to save room and maybe a little time.
Distance travel is undetermined, basically, fly from Hobart to Brisbane, drive northerly to Gympie, out through Gayndah, Monto to the Westwood, and then term west straight out to Longreach, with a part-day layover to collect all those 92 solved puzzles. Home is hopefully via Jericho, south through Mexico and into Blackall then down and cross to Roma, Toowoomba Brissie and fly home.
Meeting up with great family friends of ours to share part of this journey MEMO, the cache name TasReach or TR for short was born, been both Tasmania and Longreach. So wished each cache could have its own story, but in that case, I would never finish logging. So I thought a long story was better than a TFTC. But hey thanks for the cache anyway.

# 2349 - Travelling from Brissie to probably Cooktown and back we try to pick up a few caches.
We stayed in Miles and were happy to go our for a nice walk along the track, and then back into town. Had done some research beforehand, so the coords were completed and after I had looked up on google maps if the spot was a likely one we wandered off... Yes, the coords were correct, but of course I always look first on the wrong side....

Driving out through Miles on our way to Carnarvon Gorge we had already driven past several caches as it was too dangerous for us to stop with a caravan in tow. Mrs Herbz had a look at the cashes in Miles and spotted this multi. When she read the description and discovered it was hidden by our good friends Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie we just had to stop to find it. "It would have been plain rude not to," said Mr. Herbz. Mr. Herbz then spotted the sign which Mrs. Herbz had just walked straight past. We soon had worked out the coordinates and drove around to GZ. We began our search and then Mr. Herbz got a work phone call so whilst he was dealing computer problems, Mrs. Herbz continued with the search. No, it wasn't at the first place she looked but there's several others to investigate so she picked another spot that she thought wasn't so wet and muddy, and sunk her foot straight into the mud hmmmm! She continued her search climbing up a little higher for a better vantage point but was unsuccessful. Now let's try the spot in the middle.As she tiptoed across the long grass the hint suddenly made sense and a few seconds later the cashe was spied.TFTC Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie.
After arriving in Miles, I headed to the posted coords and worked out the final coords and headed to GZ. Parked nearby and walked towards the cache, there was a fair bit of rain yesterday which meant lots of puddles near and at the GZ. The long grass obscured a few of them, which meant my foot found them! While navigating around the puddles I happened to find myself staring directly at the cache without properly looking for it! Nice! Added some new paper to the container and returned it to its location. Tftc Bedmaker & Lat&long Junkie
I solved the puzzle while staying in Surat. In Miles, I wandered towards GZ, hoping that my final coordinates were correct. Fortunately they were and the log was signed and I was on my way. Great spot for a cache.
Hi there bedmakerTG.
We found your cache **"Dogwood"** today.
We came to Miles as a stopping point on our way to Blackall, but as there are so many caches we've decided to stay for a few more days. Today we back tracked to pick up the caches between Chinchilla & Miles. We found 11 caches & DNF'd 0.
Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache almost exactly where our GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container is in good condition. The log is full. (Unfortunately we didn't have anything to replace it with).
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

This proved to be quite an adventure. Firstly I couldn’t find the sign I needed to get the information from, not thinking it would be where I finally found it. I then investigated the path along the river lower down. That certainly wasn’t there last time I was here! Eventually I went back up to road level, found what I was looking for - der! At GZ the I hade to wade through was grass shoulder high. The log is almost full.
Stopped here for a coffee while heading to Roma from Goondiwindi. No problems solving the puzzle but it took a few minutes to locate the hide at GZ ... it wouldn't have though if I'd approached from a different direction.
Thanks for an informative multi and a nice hide.

Ludwig Leichhardt is an interesting individual with an interesting history. Thanks for the cache. Currently you need gumboots to get to this one! Cache and log in good condition.

Puddles way too deep. I braved the mud but not going to wade into water that’s up my calves. Especially given I was wearing Birkenstocks (now ruined)
Day 1 of of a Queensland road trip with EatSleepCacheRepeat and JACS Team - Brisbane to Roma. We spent the day slowly driving (is there any other way for geocachers?) to Roma and picking up the odd geocache here and there. No real targets beyond a couple of older caches.
Nice hide, though a previous finder told us it was historically more sneaky. TFTC!

Nice quick multi picked up while driving through town. We were about to give up on the hide when we spotted something! Log book is getting very thin but we managed to sign. TFTC ️
The geodaughter and I had stayed in Miles overnight and were within walking distance of this cache, so after breakfast we made our way over and collected what we needed to work out the numbers for gz. A short time later we were at gz hunting around for the cache. Miss 16 put her hand on it first, calling out the magic words and adding our name to the log. Tftc Bedmaker and Lat&Long Junkie
Heading west to Blackall for a few days, and grabbing a few caches along the way. Missed this one last time due to workmen right at GZ but it was an easy grab this time round

Bugger. Worked out the coords but arrived at GZ to find it's now a work site for upgrading the structure here. Maybe next time
Answered the questions a while back on my way to Miles, so a NEF today. TFTC bedmakerTG
On the way home to Brisbane from a trip to my Isa this was our last stop last night . I gathered the information last night and then this morning we found this cache which was in the last place I looked. Thank you for the interesting multi and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
