This one is definitely gone as there has been extensive earthworks around GZ. Hopefully no TB's were lost. Thanks anyway CowboyMacca
 
26-Nov-10
This site has changed with a lot of clearing being done and a new road put in. At GZ it was all cleared. Also this is now a BP servo. I assume the cache has disappeared now.

The last of 5 we found today on our way from Coffs Harbour to Rockhampton. The Mobil servo has become a BP.

GPS led me to within a couple of metres and my cacher's eyes quickly zoomed in on the cache. Saw the friendly mob of kangaroos nearby, they retreated a respectable distance and watched me as I went about my business. I counted six, at least one of which had a joey in her pouch. Nicely placed. TFTC, CowboyMacca and Dusty Pair!

Took a while for the GPS to settle then I almost fell over the cache. Seems the servo has changes hands since the cache was placed. Took a GC which was not shown as being in the cache.

An unanticipated find early in the morning, as the rest of the geoteam slept. I'd realised that we were staying only metres from the cache so got up and found it before waking the rest of the team. Had to frighten away a family of kangaroos to get to the cache- a lovely serene scene. Did a swap then woke the rest of the family to complete the remainder of the journey up to Cairns (got there at midnight).

Well after dodging the gas man and making my way to GZ, I located the cache. UNfortunately the mozzies also located me. Saw another wide load pull in so thought I should hightail it North to get in front of it (8m across).

After being thwarted at a nearby alcoholic cache, this was a pleasant stroll to GZ. As we turned in a huge wide load was leaving heading north, how long would it take to get past it we thought. Not long fortunately but the traffic coming south was being stopped for ages to make room for the truck. TFTC
 
26-Sep-08
Dropped in.

Found on the way South again...a routine break point due to fuel being cheap once again (it's the start of SEQ fuel prices here).
