This one is definitely gone as there has been extensive earthworks around GZ. Hopefully no TB's were lost. Thanks anyway CowboyMacca
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.
Found this one on a trip to Kumbia...
Dropped off a T.B also

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.

Stopped for lunch and wandered off to find the cache. Busy out front but deserted out back so quick retrieve and replace. TNLN and TFTC
There was a mob of roo's eating dinner next door as I claimed this find Last of the day heading south! Cheers from Sydney.
Rated: for Overall Experience
It was wild alright. The servo has changed hands at some stage too. Found the cache when I stepped on it! But all is well.
Great spot for a cache ,Wild Scotsmans right ,its a jungle!! We were concerned about the wild life ,but we survived the trek . Took a gold pirates coin (plastic) & left a lucky piece of silver (5cents) TFTCx
Wandered down the back & located the cache. Luckily no one around down here although very busy at the front. No swaps but picked up Dick Turpin TB
It was drizzling when I turned in to the carpark near the cache - which was good because it discouraged others from being outside. Found the Scotchman in good condition and signed the log. TFTC CowboyMacca & Dusty Pair.
This was a bit hard to find
as there had been some cleaning
done at GZ and there was a lot of cut up
branches also hiding the cache,
But after a bit of a scratch around
we were rewarded. Taken TB 525299

Found it nice and easily. Only thing was I couldnt find a mobil servo. Must have been taken over.
Found whilst on our way to Gold Coast from Townsville for a wedding, quickly nabbed this one at the BP (used to be Mobil) .Dropped off 2x Geocoins & 1x TB & picked up another 2x Geocoins. TFTC.
Easy found. We left to coins in this TB hotel that will start their mission. I wish them both good luck!

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.15. I pulled up near this one to see a family in a broken down car waiting for some help right at the spot it looked like I needed to go into the scrub, so I gave it a miss. Thanks. Albida
Before I could leave towne there was one more stop to make
Och Aye, a cache needed to be found
There were plenty of muggles gathered around the back of the take away, but they didn't pay me too much attention as I wandered toward GZ with a fizzy drink

nice one just in time for a rest break for me.
wandered over to the cache and retrieved easily
then had to wait for a couple of muggles to move on before replacing.
i think it was the theme of the day for me today.

nice to be able to look for a cache on our way to Lake Monduran to do some barra fishing.
Grabbed some ice cream and found the cache. Tried not to drop too much on the log. Thanks!
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).
Found at 13:10
Interesting log book
Second find of the day on our Nambour to Mackay jaunt.
Went for a quick cache while the family was eating and playing at the playground down the street.
A quick visit by a couple of geocoins l picked up yesterday.

After staying the night at the near by caravan park, I found the treasure chest of the evil Scotchman. As he was not at home, I decided to mugg him and took a TB from the chest.

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
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).
Thanks for the cache.
