Found with Dora the Explorer! Quite tricky. It was not until viewed from a different perspective could it be seen. TFTC. Favourite point given.
So camping at Awonga Dam for a few days means I can get into Gladstone and do a little caching and some shopping. There are a few particular caches in town that I saw and some fun looking hides.
While driving around town I am impressed on how Gladstone has “cleaned “itself up. Being here some years back, I thought I would never come here again, but I am very impressed with the town and the friendly people here. The new areas and the attractions around town, very nice, thank you.
Seems Gladstone has a lot of “older” caches so I was glad to be in town cleaning up what I could.
What a great hide and a great cache. While searching around and the hint was spot on, I dropped my pen. Just so happens a lady was walking past who happened to have a pen. No questions asked she handed me the pen, I signed the log, handed the pen back and she was on her way. lol to me I would be asking questions, to her its ok whatever and move on, lol, love it.
All good with this cache, I signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Then I was on my way to the next. Thanks for placing this one here.

Looked with 3 of us for this one. Climbed all over the bridge, found the clue spot but nothing.
Determined to stay today until I located it as On my previous year’s trip up here I visited 3 times and couldn’t locate it today I found it Yeh!
Signed log kingfisherau 4:00 pm 8/9/2022 and replaced all as found,
Bundyrumandcoke - TFTC. And a fav point 2 you Too!!
1x TB Visited (koko the koala)

No luck for me today. Pretty sure I was in the right spot and had a good feel around but couldn’t locate the cache.
Clever hide, took a lot of looking and feeling, but eventually found the right spot. Sneaky
We came around this morning and then realised it was going to involve a bit more from me, so we dropped off the two year old and came back.
Dad did the searching while master 8 and miss 6 waited impatiently (master 8 told me he would have found it much more quickly!) I had checked the hint so was confident I was in the right spot, and soon the cache was in hand.
Cool hide.
TFTC!

Visiting family in the area and I came by to check this cache out and narrowed it down with the helpful hint. I figured out how to access GZ and waited a while for walkers with dogs and prams to pass over the bridge. A window of opportunity became available so with my pen in my pocket I tackled the obstacle. I did not see the well hidden cache but after a feel around I was able to sign the log and replace it and get back to safe ground just in time before some more foot traffic was approaching. Thanks for this one and a favourite from me Bundyrumandcoke.
I have a replacement cache being built. Unfortuantely, life sometimes gets in the way of caching. It will go back out very shortly.
Gave this one a go tonight but could not locate any hints. Did everything except crawl spiderman style under bridge and no cache located. Return tomorrow in daylight.
Gone again. Got me stonkered, unless it went in the last flood, which I didn't think got that high.
Did Not Find.
Sadly the app on my phone decided it needed an update while I was out and about today and had become frozen, making me unable to access previous logs or the hint so I would not call my search exhaustive, but alas after two separate searches (both on the out and back trips of our walk) of the infrastructure in question, I walked away empty handed.
Happy to have been able to complete a 'freedom run' of the Gladstone QLD parkrun though, so still went home happy!
Thanks For The Hide!

Grey nomads travelling around Australia in our caravan. 2020 done and dusted, 2021 here we come
Our Rocky farm sit now over, we still have time to spend in the area for another month or so, so we have moved on to Gladstone. Had to drive to Calliope for the dump point (there are none in Gladstone) so targeted a few caches on the way. This was one.
We worked out the clue quite easily, and Mr D, much to my chagrin, was keen to climb out on a limb to find the cache. He had a good look around, but did not find it. I did not want to fish my 70yo hubby out of the lagoon so I called him back rather have a blue sad face than a wet hubby.
Having now found a few BR&C caches, we sort of know where his head is, but we could not find this cache, which I am sure is there.

Day 3 of a long weekend adventure in Gladstone Region, along with Crew 153, 1MinnieMoo and Fangsoki. Mostly targeting older caches, and whatever else popped up on our radar. Expected a nice quick grab here before heading further afield, but was soon corrected on that thinking. Managed to successfully navigate what I will call T7 all the way across and back again before the corner of one eye spied something 'different' to it's surrounds. Oh that is sneaky. And on theme too. Terror and Tupperware. Not as hard as I made it, T3.5. Very tricksy sir.
Thanks Bundyrumandcoke for entertaining me at this location.

1MinnieMoo, Crew 153, Pprime, and I were in the area grabbing a few caches. We decided to grab this one.
Oh my good gravy this took a while. While Pprime was monkeying around, I was at different vantage points trying to spot the beast. After quite a discussion, we figured where it must be and eventually Pprime spotted the prize. I did appreciate the appropriate and cheeky container.
Glad we got this one in the end. TFTC Bundyrumandcoke

Fangsoki, Pprime, Crew153 and I were on a log weekend of adventure in and around Gladstone, concentrating mainly on the older caches.
Well we ended up glad we did not attempt this one at night, which we had contemplated, but once at GZ were grateful we had been here during the day. Our hunt involved much looking over, around and under (the last of which was mostly by Pprime while the rest of us cringed at his actions). Eventually the clue made much more sense and something odd was spotted by Pprime in a spot I had rather much considered likely early on. And that container?? Well that was a sneaky, yet accurate interpretation!
Thanks for the cache Bundyrumandcoke.

A long weekend caching trip to Gladstone had been planned with 1MinnieMoo, Pprime and Fangsoki and a list of target caches had been prepared.
Pprime was acting like a monkey and I couldn't watch his antics. I was expecting to hear a loud splash but he had a good grip of things and survived. The rest of us gave him plenty of advise as to where to look but it still took too long until he held up the cache.

After not being able to find this one last time i am finally glad i can tick this one off my dnf list
Checked both sides of the railing on both sides of the bridge but no luck - getting dark too. May have been the other 16....
Finally! After many attempts I obviously wasn’t looking hard enough but I have succeeded. Thanks for replacing this cache
Very hard to have a sustained search for this as so many muggle walkers use this track.
Wow that was hard. A very sneaky hide indeed
The fit Triton searched around for ages without any luck until he read the hint. Once he was in the correct area it still took some searching but eventually he put his hand on it.
A favourite for the effort put into this hide, we like it.
Thanks Bundyrumandcoke for the clever placement .

I love this hide. I have one of these containers and have always wondered what to do with it. This hide was perfect! I did try to grab this a few days ago, but I was muggles out. I would call it a “Did not search” as opposed to a “Did not find”, so I didn’t log a DNF. Today the coast was clear. Skip had used up his daily exercise allowance checking some graves at the cemetery, to make sure that the coords I had calculated the visit before were correct - they were, I should have more faith. (I had not headed to GZ). So he was happy on the ute with a carrot and some water, the muggles seemed to be in hiding, so I was right to search! A quick double check for muggles and I was off, and soon had the cache. A favourite from me. TFTC Bundyrumandcoke
Finally heading south. staying a few days in Gladstone.
After catching up with the Bundyrumandcoke clan last night, and learning that we did indeed miss a few obvious caches and highlights of town Mr Felix awoke early and headed on out this morning with the hope of rectifying those mishaps.
Another that we missed. Not sure how as the GPSr definitely had us in the right spot. Today Mr F wore his glasses as yesterday they were left behind in case they ended up in the drink. Magnet seems loose so may need some CO intervention soon.
Never enough time, we will have to return to Gladstone sometime to grab those we missed by not attempting and those that we yet again had to DNF.

No joy for us here today Mr Parko searched both sides just incase but couldn't find anything. Hopefully it was a case of cache blindness and not that it has gone for a swim.
The geokid, tjm2806, spotted the clue. Dan removed all valuables from his pockets, in case he fell in, and climbed over to GZ. A great cache. TFTC
Tupperware Terror has succumbed to todays flood. You never know where it might turn up sometime in the future. Its been washed out to sea. unfortunately, it wont get replaced till after we come home from Oz Mega in late April.

Been twice now a haven't found it yet. Got the clue Is it still there? Ill be back
Found it:-) great cache and an excellent place to visit. Black swans and turtles were all laughing at me during the search. SL. Thanks for this one bundyrumandcoke. It made my day.
LW and SI volunteered to do some monkeying and after almost turning in, LW found it exactly where the hint indicated - probably the most clever cache we've seen so far, so props to CO. Needing a little TLC, but Leaping Wombat is sorting it out.

Really good hide. Bundyrumandcoke, it's time your wife hits up Tupperware for a lifetime warranty claim on this one. Found the cache, could not close again (UV damaged). No-where to put log or damaged cache so I have it with me. Please contact me or advise of where I can leave damaged cache (near site somehwere?) ... After Brother Maynard , I'm beginning to think I'm your bad luck Geocacher ... let's see now we're off to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles ...
Geo dad grabbed this one. Thanks Mr F for the little clue. Tftc Bundy. You have some great ones!
[Blue]# 12621[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another excellent winter day for a drive to around Gladstone.
A very sneaky hide, but thanks to the clue, I honed in on it in good time.

Would not have found this if my girth was much larger! More suited to a daredeveil teenager then this middle aged bloke! Thanks for the terror. Favourite find for us.
'D' went for a climb and after searching on both sides, finally found the cache. As we took off the lid, one of the log pages decided it wanted a swim but we stopped the rest. Signed log, TNLN. Thanks for the cache.
A little bit scary for an old dude but after some egging on by geowife I got the courage to venture in and there it was thanks for the cache.
Scratches worked out the clue which put us in a smaller search radius. Some minor monkeying around and it was spotted. Great hide, tftc Bundy
Who knew tupperware could be so terrifying?? Very glad zoeandcalin volunteered to do the retrieval!

Nice hide and Cammo all ok just a change of underwear. Easy when you look in the right place. TFTC
Climbed all over the bridge, going out of my comfort zone to do so but unfortunately couldn't find it. I did make a new friend on the way to the bridge though! It was fun searching.
I am very pleased to cross this one off our list thanks to geo-goose again. He was determined to find this one today and even a nasty encounter with an angry wasp wasn't going to deter him. He loved the challenge and says he wants us to find more caches like this one! TFTC.
This was my first geo couldn't find it came back again with my son . Found the location on the bridge from the clue . Climbed all over could not find.
Out caching with geo mate and finally got it or should I say he got TFTC good cach to being up the 100
went out with jax0109 and was my 2nd crack at this one and found it within 5 min. thanks for cache bundy!
Found the clue quickly so knew we were in the right spot. Mr Beetle was sent to retrieve but came up empty handed twice. While he continued to search for this devious hide I returned to the van and checked ALL the logs. We were just on the point of giving up when Mr Beetle spotted it. A very aptly named cache and we probably wouldn't have found it if the cammo hadn't been starting to wear off. Mr Beetle didn't fall in but was sorely tempted to throw this little blighter in. It is probably the most useless and pathetic container that we have ever come across in caching. Then there was the nice names given to the owner of this cache that were not very complimentary and cannot be repeated here. Thanks, so glad we persevered and one of those ones caches that gives you a great deal of satisfaction when found.
Yes! Very happy to log this as found. Scoped out Gz and had a sticky beak in the evening with Orangemaple. Having one of these containers it was easy to narrow down what I was looking for. The trick was to find it. Back tonight with a few 'tools'. Almost got me again but was encouraged to look in a different direction and there she was. Thanks for the cache. Enjoyed this one. Log book is still damp. Sorry we couldn't stay to dry it out.
Ok so I'll admit that I attempted this at night, after it had been raining but still thought whilst I was up visiting from South Australia why not attempt this one. Well I did, and did not succeed. I scaled, searched, prodded, and poked all to no avail. I was originally going to write this as a note but thought that I would mark it appropraitely, considering I did spend a fair time looking for this. We did find the hint, but the hint wasn't enough. So I'll keep this on my watch list for my next trip up - and perhaps I'll come up with a different result.
