No log sheet so I signed a scrap of paper! Needs new mint tin and log sheet. I didn't have any sorry. TFTC.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
Thanks for this quick find! Camped across the dam and stopped by the cache before heading home. The container and contents are soaked and damaged and need maintenance. Sorry, I did not have my tools of the trad with me.
A short walk along the lakes edge at sunset. A quick find, but cache has no lid and is damp. Kinda scrawled my name, but pen didnt like the wet paper. A lovely lake and a great campsite for our maiden caravan trip. Thanks for the hide
**Found Saturday 11-November-2023 at 15:32 Smiley #2296**Wow, I have slowly just been finding caches, signing logs, logging drafts and simply forgetting about these and never actually logging them. My sincerest apologies to the relevant CO's, especially if I found issues with them and didn't do anything about them.Unfortunately my drafts were also designed to jog my memory about the cache to assist with the logging process. Doesn't work when some of them are over 2 years old. Here comes some generic comments. Once again, I apologise 
Out on a very long and back and forth trip heading up towards Toogoolaha for a weekend away. Very wet. Unable to sign. Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache **i am pegasus**

Thanks for the cache **i am pegasus** Rogersclan13 Beautiful drive out to The damn this afternoon! The sunset at the dam is just stunning! Cash found quickly with no trouble at all. Logbook was quite wet but a new paper had been placed in the cash. Will probably need maintenance soon. TFTC
Had some free time this morning, so ventured out to do a spot of caching.So I targeted the Brisbane Valley area today.Quick find at a nice location. Log book saturated. TFTC. TNLN. SL.Find # 1691.
Staying at Ipswich and touring around the area. Found it easily enough. Log saturated. TFTC.
A friend was having a surprise milestone birthday party and a trip to Brisbane was required to attend.
After accidentally (on purpose), booking my flights a few days earlier, it was time to do some pre party caching around town.
After a late night last night, today was a little more laid back exploring some targeted caches around Brisbane and beyond.
Just managed to write my initials on the outside of this very soggy log.
Thanks i am pegasus for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Beautiful day spent at the dam, pleased to have found a geocache stashed close by
Thank you we have been to atkinson dam many times but didnt realise that this part of the park was accessible. Great adventure but the original log book is a bit wet.
I have had this one on my to do list for a long time and I'm not sure why I was expecting it to be a really had search, it was quite the opposite. It was basically a park and grab and now ticked off my list. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Travelling today from Wivenhoe to Toowoomba with alphag_25 on holidays from Mackay and touring the countryside along the way and of course caching along the way. TFTC a nice easy find.
Took a decent walk from where we stopped for lunch to this cache. I had read this one may not be in the best condition, which was proven true when I opened the container. Definitely appreciate the cache nonetheless, Atkinsons Dam is a lovely area.

Nice easy find on this overcast day. We were out for some morning tea and lunch by the lake and grab a couple caches on the way. Zip lock was torn and the log was so wet it was unable to be signed.
The log was a soggy mess. Got our names on there though
Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights.

Quick find today with Millikins2020. Beautiful spot. So nice to see the dam so full again. TFTC
Tftc Guddink on our way to an event at Fernvale, a quick detour to look for your cache. Very windy here this morning
Today I came out to this lovely dam for my cousin's baby shower. I have never been to a baby shower at a dam before, but it was a perfect day. I was very jealous of all those water skiing. Loved my days of skiing on this dam before it became completely empty. Definitely full now. As I approached gz, there was a really big dog/pig diseased about 10m from gz. Fairly new too. Sad. So please be aware if you are taking young children to gz.
Was fun and confusing but you go to the visitors centre and there in a Easy way to find it. 21/1/22
My phone was playing up but I managed to park 20m away and make a quick find. Thanks for the cache

A lovely morning out today with T@mmm collecting a few of the oldies around this part of the world, before lunch in Esk pub and an afternoon exploring Scrivener Dam and Mt Glorious - until rain set in. Quick find in a lovely location. Spent a moment or three watching the water until muggles came to disturb us.
Thanks guddink for entertaining me at this location.

*{Overall find #10274}* We were back at Coominya after misreading the stamp for the BVRT end to end cache the last time we were in the area, so decided to pick up a few nearby caches as well. Thanks guddink for the cache.
I started my road trip out to Cunnamulla with a planned detour driving caching day out around Minden, Marburg, and then north picking up old caches and a few as I passed. Then travelled up to Esk and the across the divide finish up in Highfields for the night where I will start tomorrow.
Some absolute crackers of caches and views, some easy grabs and then there was the ones I suffered from cache blindness. Thank you to all the CO’s for the cache hides.
My next for the day, a quick find, I signed the log and replaced as found all good with this one.
Wow there is so little water in this dam now. I remember coming out here as a kid, you can see where the water use to be but now you need a taxi ride to get to the water’s edge, amazing.

out of lockdown today so my husband and i decided to take a country drive and find some geocaches and then find somewhere for lunch . Great place for a cache . thankyou for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Thought this one would work out to be too far in for us to get but not so. We came in past the Earthcache that we couldn’t do because the edge was too far away. Found this one quickly and gladly signed the log. Thanks for placing it.
We are very happy to find a cache placed by Guddink - one of our favourite people. A real gentleman.
Cheers and happy caching!

It was pretty easy to find once I got into the area. But then, didn’t have a pen. Great spot though
On the way home from an event at Wivenhoe, we stopped in to grab a few caches. All good with this cache. Tftc Dark Dreamer
Replaced log book and waterproof bag. Out geocaching with Gem-54, signed log and replaced as found. TFTC
Thaking the [gCAV](https://coord.info/TB3GXKV) down some back roads we decided to call in and take a look at the dam; grabbed a cache whilst we were at it.
#5 of the day with a view of Atkinson Dam, unfortunately not much water these days and no yachts
