Unfortunately I will have to let this one go as I am unable to give it the attention required. I do hope that someone hides a cache in the near vicinity. Thanks UMP

Due to numerous DNFs lately, and my inability to check on the area, I'll set this one aside for a while, and make further inquiries.

Spent some time looking for this one but with no success. I am wondering if it is still there. The long grass has gone - looks like there was a grass fire in the area - so it was easy to search GZ. My GPS was giving me an area of about 5m^2 to look around but there was nothing obvious in the area. There was a cattle grid and a fence that I went over along with the ground around it. Not sure what the PTO means - could be under something that needs to be turned over??? Did not find it under any rocks that I turned over.

Damn! I'm beat. DMonkey and I looked around for ages trying to pin this one down, but to no avail!

BF if we could find this one, RoShin and I searched for about 30 mins and no luck. The gps had GZ in an area of waist height grass, that was wet from rain and cattle had also been through the area. Too good for us today.

To good for me.

Could find it after much looking.

Looked like a herd of buffalo had just been through here so we flattened it a bit more. We looked everywhere as well but no luck.

Found while attending Forest Challenge 5. Tricky little hide as GZ is quite overgrown with all the rain. I had to use the 'touchy-feely' method of locating a cache that you can't see. Thats always interesting ! TNLN Thanks weroamin

Walked to this one from Stumped with the oldest daughter and then bush bashed the way back to the camp. TFTC

TFTC It was a great find with my eldest daughter. TFTC

We are now scratched and sweaty but didn't need to be. Cache in good condition. 2nd for day TFTC

Finally found it after two previous unsuccessful hunts. This time went without gps and found easily.

Flattened a lot of Bladey Grass looking for the cache the first visit and made nice false Geocache Trail. Found quickly on the second visit. All in good condition.
Took felt marker and left Gold Medal.

We managed to do a couple of caches following our great day with the Forest Challenge #4 geocaching event near Jimna in Southern Queensland. What a great day we've had. And then an extra couple of caches after, that's perfect! Found the NATZ Butterfly TB in this cache and took it to move along. Thanks for the cache guys. What a lovely part of our great country it is that you placed this cache. Thanks for bringing us here. Neat hide. We nearly missed it. Took: TB Left: geocaching badge.

A relatively easy find while attending Forest Challenge event cache. Co-ords seemed to be a little out, but stumbled acroos the cache after about 5 minutes. Took nothing, left aussie track a bear Natz Travel bug.

Took the overland option while searching for the other two traditionals in the area. Found the cache with lid off, but seeing there's been no rain, it was still in fine nick. Thanks for the cache and the wander.

Lovely walk from the campground! Left a cow and took a teddy - kids were impressed! TFTC

Checked on cache while camping at Peach Trees for the weekend. Everything was okay, no finds since February, container was in correct location and in great condition.

Had a look at this one today after the activity of the 2009 Forest Challenge. Great to see that everybody uses the log book wisely and there was no need to replace anything. I hope this cache continues to provide geocaching enjoyment.

The previous day, my GPS kept leading us astray from GZ.
Up here again this morning before packing up camp, found a lot more easily... the satellite gods had finally aligned for me !!

Found this while attending the Forest Challenge 2009.

Cheers,

We walked from the Peach Trees camping area and found the cache after a short search. TNLN TFTC

Missed this one last time, so after a hint from Ninasclan, headed off for another look, and pretty much found it straight away. Very nice hide!

TFTC

Found with Chris & Vi, thanks for driving me up there.

Found on a family camping weekend with Ninasclan for the 2009 Forest Challenge. Ghostgums passed it to us so I could sign the log. TFTC.

1115hrs. After a bit of a search with Geoff from OMY130 we found it. Good hide as was not where we expected. Found while at Forest Challenge 2009. TFTCSL

Found while on the 2009 Forest Challenge. Lucky no vehicles came by as it took us a while to find it. Not where we thought it would be. Container is camoflauged well. TFTC.

Found after a short search at 1025hrs with holster and thehairbear. Definitely had me scratching my head for a couple of minutes.

Cache is nice and dry.

Thanks for taking me there you oldies. (MM excluded.)

TFTC

Found with Konie and thehairbear.

Found the cache easily before heading off home after attending the Winter Challenge 2008 Event. TFTC

Found the morning after the great winter challeng. TFTC, A&C

Small hike from the camping area through the long grass. This took a while as the GPS wasn't playing fair. Walked within 10cm of it numerous times until finally looking at the obvious.

Tigey Wigey (picked up a tick somewhere along the lines as well)

19/7/08 15:00

Found with Nortney, had a nice walk to this from the camp grounds near by, while we were waiting for the winter challenge to start.

Found with Toey97, had a nice walk to this from the camp grounds near by, GPS had me out by 5-6m, looked around to where you think it would be and of cause there it was. TFTC.

Varoom. Found it in company with Duck and Fire_Boy72 after a cross country hike from the main camp ground. Enjoyed the search through the long grass until common sence took over. TNLN TFTC.

Found with Diesel and Duck the morning before the great winter challeng. This was a walk that I'm used to; as we tacked through the trees from the camp ground near by. TFTC.

Quack! Found with diesel48 and fire_boy72 after a hike while up this way for the Winter Challenge. TFTC =]

We laughed when the meaning of If's log comments made sense. Well done. A relatively easy find compared to the nearby multi that we finally conquered. Took turtle, left aliens, retrieved swaggie. TFTC.

Found it after walking from the main camp site.
Took cross country route. Easer to follow fence line on way back.
Next one there, please take a pencil sharpener. Writing stick badly in need of maintenance. Had to mess around with fingernail and a rock just to record my finding.

L: Swaggie.
T: nothing.

James & Patt

Heading home after an absolutely fun weekend at the forest challenge...couldn't leave before finding this cache though

TFTC TNLN

Found Ok

Nice easy find with some great company on a lazy Sunday morning. TNLN Even the Cicadas where singing.

Certainly a lovely walk to this one on a beautiful day made even more pleasant by the company of other geocachers. Special thanks to mini NANKS for finding this one in record time and for retrieving and replacing the cache. TNLN. Thanks weroamin/mikey moo/gerrynewgirl

After a wonderful night at the nearby campground I got mooving early this morning
I could feel the bovinity of the location in the search for this cache. I didn't step in the bovinity fortunately
After a quick recce of the surrounds, I didn't spy the cache, so I resorted to that old standby trick used by geocachers in such situations
I conducted a grid search [:o)]
Eventually the cache turned up
TFTC. I took Buzz Flashlight TB and dropped off Boba Fett in the cache.

3rd find for the day before heading home from the Forest Challenge. Took Crawk to continue his journey.

THENANKS were part of a group of cachers at the 2007 Forest Challenge who wandered off to find a few local caches on Sunday morning. We were amazed at the noise made by the cicardas. We've never heard them so loud before.

The youngest NANKS shimmied in and grabbed the cache and then we headed off again after making some swaps.

TFTC

Went out on a morning stroll with a group d.d.dudes,storkers, curtdog, powellbruce and owner to find these, great spot and lots of fun TFTC.
The Olly's

A quick find while visiting for the day. The road leads to the Peach Trees Overflow camping area which is open during long weekends.Both the main and overflow camp grounds are really pleasant places to stay. Took and left nothing. Thanks for the cache, Andrew and Maryan.

Found on the Sunday whilst camping at the 2007 Forest Challenge. What a great weekend we had! Young Chunky Monkey leapt over and found this one before all of the rest of us. No swaps done today - but thanks for bringing us on a great walk. The Cicadas were absolutely deafening.

Was out with the mob that attended the nearby event.
Cache was located nice and quickly and yes I did find out what it means.
TFTC

Great hide, found easily by curtdog and we worked out what PTO means. Thanks

Nice quick find on a very enjoyable afternoon out caching. Thanks for bringing us out here - an addition to our "must do" camping list. TFTH
