Toowoomba TB Motel Darling Heights, Queensland, Australia
By lochb on 01-Aug-07. Waypoint GC14TE4

Will reopen shortly in a location near you.

Checked on this cache this morning - indeed the area shows signs of muggle activity. My guess is this is just kids having fun. Container was still well hidden in a good spot, however I have removed it and will archive this cache shortly. Toowoomba TB Motel II will reopen after a short break.

I will check this location in the next few days. It might be time to move this cache to a different location.

Kinda sad place - a full living room have been placed nearby, but no upholtery on the sitting corner ... let us thinking about less fortunate.

No TB of GC inside, so nothing to swap

TFTC

Fluppo

I felt the burning sensation of eyes watching me...
It wasn't the brown snake that was sunning itself about 30m from the GZ
It was a local inhabitant who appeared to have made residence nearby - the various campfire sites and bed nest type sites seemed to indicate that she had been around here for at least a week...
I think that I got right to the cache when out of the corner of my eye I saw the flash of red upon the hill and decided to not grabe the containe
She pretended not to see me as I retruned to the car empty handed - she was reading a book and appeared to have a back-pack however appeared rather homeless.
I will send photos of the area and where I got to but decided that I had better leave it for another day

Dropping a few TBs virtually before taking them to Brisbane tomorrow.

found it, clue was a bit misleading, alot of rubbish around, but found it anyway.

Dorpping another coin virtually...

Virtual visit of two geocoins to start them off on a long journey.

Found this cache on the 17th August while on a visit to Toowoomba. Had to leave my better half in the car as there were 2 muggles talking to each other on a nearby driveway. My better half drew a picture of a tree while I was gone in case the muggles got curious. Fortunately they didn't. The hints were helpful, thanks. Took the permanent marker and left a figurine from "Shrek 3". There were no travel bugs in the cache when we found it but I remembered that we had brought one down with us from Gladstone to drop off so went back the next day. When we arrived there were a couple of city council muggles working so after a coffee at the nearby university coffeeshop went back and dropped off the Royal Flying Doctor travel bug. T.F.T.C.

Found. TFTC

Found nice one good hidden.T.F.T.C

Aloe, Aloe,
Didn't notice the prickly pear, but plenty of large Aloes at ground Zero.
I came in from the downhill end of the track( because I'd stored this one ages ago and didn't reread the webpage).
I nice walk up the hill, heard a couple of Wallabies bounding off, found the cache, signed the log, TNLN but note that there are NO TB's or Coins in the cache. Hopefully they'll turn up somewhere.
Thanks for a great experience Lochb

Wet day. Wet grass. Wet muddy track. All made for a good dirty time to find the cache. Didn't like the look of some of the thorns on the agave plants. Glad there was a path around them.
There are definitely no trackables in residence and as some haven't been seen for some considerable time they should be archives and the owners notified.

Located this one after being surprised that my map was wrong and that the road ended. To say that the terrain is a little rough is an understatement but it is always great to get outdoors and get the heart pumping!! There were no trackables in this cache, even though three are still listed, so maybe it is being muggled. T - Keyring and Ball, L - Dog and Lanyard. Thanks lochb.

Found at 1535Hrs. Some swap items inside, but I didn't notice any travel bugs. Thanks lochb

Just dropping off a lonely TB for the Toowoomba cachers.
TFTC Loch

Had to scout around but found it in the end. TFTC

Found today but there was no sign of any trackables.

Found this before the heavens opened up. No TB inside??!!
I will have to make a trip to park a couple . TFTC

nice one tftc

No bugs today as would be expected, but I was surprised to see a fire hydrant and gas meter etc in this sort of location [:o] TFTC

Horray, good cache, slippery terraine when wet. TNFN TFTC

Found it No. 1165 ... TN and left Chinese Coins

finally found this one!! second attempt, first was just before new years and we got rained out. good hide!! Took TB left matchbox car.
TFTC sorry i didn't have any TB's to drop off... i'll definately use when i have some though!!

Found with the help of the clue, the co-ordinates seem a little off.

Took ozzy TB for our trip north.

Only found it due to the clue cos my GPS said it was over 10m away??????(Brand new GPS)
TFTC

Found this one when our "Pop" (Roaring Ford) took us "Treasure Hunting"
We saw two Wallabies in the bush while we were looking for the cache.

Took the opportunity to drop off all the TB's I have had since a trip to Melbourne but grabbed the two TB's that were in the cache.

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S.-again. Found by the other, remaining half of LEDGIN'S. Dropped off 2 TBs. Didn't notice other TBs in cache. Thanks Lochb

Took a while to find even with all the clues. Very hot and muggy. Tftc

Found my way in here just on dusk. With no torch and failing light, except for the thunderstorms in the distance it was an interesting experience. TFTFC

Dropped by today to pick up the missing link TB to take to Victoria, also took pathtags and left brand new caching bug geocoin.
Wow, last time I was here there was no dam! Might reconsider this location early in the new year - seems like it is no longer as remote as I would like it to be.

There are now only two trackable items in this cache - the caching bug geocoin, and the Jeep 4x4 #2751.

TP's Joshua Tree National Park geocoin and Lightning McQueen TB are not in the container.

Nice easy find at 1420 on a wet afternoon, before a bolt back out west after a conference. Dropped the Missing Link TB, which needs to get back to Victoria ASAP, and took the Koala TB. TFTC.
Cheers,
CowboyMacca.

Found at 1320 today. Nice quick easy find. Left TB's Katie the koala and Jeep 4x4. Took Fishing Dude TB and The emerald DER Smaragd TB. No other TB's in cache. Missing are lightning McQueen, Litterly Impressed and TP's Joshua Tree National Park GeoCoin. Left soft toy and toy car. TFTC

Found this cache after some fossicking around. Took nothing this time as I am staying in the area. Will visit again before I leave and take a TB.

Nice day for a stroll from the USQ campus. No Team today, just the Fishmaster going solo. Despite the blue sky and thin tree cover at GZ, GPSR got a bit confused at around 50m to go, but it sorted itself out and the cache was found safe and sound. In: Fishing dude travel bug and probably a big angry ant. Out: Dragon geocoin - it's coming with me back to NZ. TFTC!

Found cache in good condition. Great clues. Took Geocoin - Left Dragoncoin.
TFTC

Found with temingi, who dropped in a couple items. No others there to move on. SL TFTC

Found with Qldwarrior.Dropped ina TB and a geocoin to travel on. TFTC

Found during a weekend visiting relatives. No one was in residence at the motel today so we TNLN.
TFTC

There is a whole lot of land works going on in the vicinity at present. However, we found the cache and the IndelibleSnupster claimed the only one TB in the cache. Thanks for this. It took the GeoWife down memory lane - not sure I wanted to go there myself, though.

Regards,

Pseudo-Geek.

Well, Toowoomba turned on the weather for us here today. Found in strong gusty cold winds and what I'm sure was sleet. Cache was found fairly quickly. There was only one travel bug in it (thong), not sure where the others are. We took the TB and left a geocoin. Thanks for the cache!

Dropping off coin.

A challenging stroll in the wet with a toddler in the arms but still managed it! TNLN TFTC!

Quack! No TB's in residence??? So I left Thong TB behind. Thanx =]

Found with Fire_boy72 as his second cache. Came in from the wrong end as it could have been much easier. Left East Coast Key ring and took TB RFDS keyring. Tks Diesel48

Came in from the west nice little walk, took out a little white rock put back a plane. TFTC

We enjoy finding caches in not so busy places.
Good easy find. Took Geocoin and left RFDS TB.
Many thanks Lochb!

Found at 1400hrs. TFTC. Took TB's and left geocoin. Lovely stroll in the bush on this windy horrid day. It was quite protected and I actually got hot while looking for the cache. TFTC.

Found on a lunchtime walk with an un-named cacher. Actually, the un-named cacher ultimately found the cache. This could be a good area to explore further, as there did appear to be some tracks heading off in interesting directions. Didn't see any wildlife, unfortunately. Left TB. Took nothing. TFTC.

2.40pm Nice walk in after finally finding the entrance. Left the Anzac travel bug. Took the numbah one toy. We were looking forward to taking some travelbugs home with us. Nice green tree snake tried to block our path on the way out.

Enjoyed the trek in. One member of Jenesis spyed a snake on the way out but no wallabys today. TNLN. Thanks.

Found this cache with the help of the Google map, but I certainly didn't expect (by the Google map or the local town map) the road to end the way it did. All the maps show it continuing on past Steele Rudd College.

Retrieved 2 travel items, but sadly, didn't have any to drop off. I will take these far away to where I live and stash them when I return. Cheers

Just a quick visit to drop off a TB & GC
Thanks
Cache still in good condition

Found before but popped into grab a couple of TB's and geocoin to place in a cache in Colorado Springs.

Bit muddy today after last nights thunderstorm. Like the hotel idea. T sabinas Hidalgo, L NZ Geocoin. TFTC

Found okay. Left a snake and took the yellow duck TB. This cache could be burnt out in a bush fire.
TFTC.

A quick trip to Twmba today....and I just had to pick up a couple of caches whilst in the area.

Clues were spot on. Cache dry and in good condition.

Thanks Lochb

A nice quick find at 1200hrs. I didn't have any bugs to trade today, maybe next time through.

Out on a trip to Toowoomba with Map Monkey today... Picked up this one on the way around!

TFTC grabbed some TB's to move on to points east.. Left some from Brissy..

Dropping off 3 TBs which were picked up immediately by two Brisbane cachers.

I use to drive all the way down this track with mates when i was young and silly in our 1980 Gemini ..... not now.

Thanks for the location and the chance to revisit some of my old stomping grounds.

After fighting with several spiderwebs, the cache couldn't hide forever!
So we changed the content a little and finnished our hunt for today. seven on one day is enough!

In: Diabetes TB + TB
Out: 2Gcoins+ TB + brush
TFTC and greetings from Germany + Israel
Yacup + friend

[Quick visit to pick up a couple to take to Rabaul in PNG to leave a new cache at the volcano.] The track in is getting plenty of use and the cache may need to be moved to make it a little more difficult to find, though I suppose a Motel needs to be fairly easy to find in a hurry, and this one is great for the purpose of swapping Bugs/ coins etc.

Just a quick visit to do a few swaps
TFTC
T 4 x TBs & 3 x GC
L 5 GC & 1 TB

Oops forgot to log this one

Picked up 3 TBs/geocoins, and dropped off 9!

Nice easy cache for a TB Motel, left 2 TB's took 4.

After six straight days of residential school, found this cache after a short walk over from the uni.

Dropped 2 x geocoins, took 1 x TB (whistle) and shelleybear took lightning mcqueen.

Thanks!

Cached (with shelleybear)

Found with geo-uncle lat&long junkie on our day caching in Toowoomba. As L&L Junkie said trying to find a short cut we had an adventure getting to the cache. After all that had no TB's to swap. TFTC

Found with geonephew, 'Bedmaker'. We took the scenic route as the in-car navigation lady was obviously doing some scrapbooking and not interested in helping us find our way around Toowoomba [:(!]. We drove into a school/college, around some ovals, through a ditch, past some toxophilites and onto a road that led to the cache. All for the sake of a map . It felt like a Mr Bean episode. The bedmakermobile then thought about going all the way to the cache, but we decided that might not be a good idea, so we legged it and found the cache with no further dramas. After all that, I TN/LN/SL and we went to find some late lunch.

A good hiding spot close to suburbia. Thanks lochb

Had held on a Travel Bug and GeoCoin for too long so decided to book them in for a stay at the Toowoomba TB Motel as it is highly recommended as a place to stay.

So Coochie Stein and Riding Round will now be able to rest in comfort with some items whilst waiting to continue their journeys around the world.

We retrieved Kwik the Tortoise and a Kiwi Geocoin from the motel but according to the inventory they are else where. I will claim them and put them in caches next weekend so that they can continue their respective adventures.

Thanks for the cache, Shirley and Russell

Missed the road I wanted orignally and thought I shall got he long way which turned out to be the only way anyway. There were no TB's in the motel ;(

Thanks lochb for the cache.

Went after a heavy rain, and it was muddy. I recamoflauged the container after finding it. Make sure you lock up your car and don't leave valuables in the window.

Dropped by with two new cachers to swap TBs. In: 4 TBs. Out: 5 TBs.

An old chook visited

Nice walk at a place I do not recall having visited before. Out - Say no to crack TB, and Not another micro Geocoin. TFTC.

TFTC.
Left: No another Micro Geocoin
Took: Piglett TB (We will drop again on our travels shortly)

Dropped off "Piglet's Field Trip" - if anyone is going south, this little guy needs to get interstate - I made the attempt last weekend, but unfortunately while in NSW DNF either cache I sought!! Had to bring Piglet back.

However, thanks for this cache lochb, I now know where to find a supply of trackables for when we go on longer trips.

Excellent!

Dropped off 2 TBs and Sid the Swaggie.

Ooh bugs
After the stroll along the path the motel was found easily thanks to the prickly doorman
I picked up Joshua's Saphire Dragon TB and left the Mutant Oompa-Loompa TB to check out the executive suite

A quick visit to this cache. Mongy did disturb a wallaby munching in the bush, which bound off. SLTNLN
