Another one bit the dust. Time to say goodbye to a long term cache that has gone walkabout.

????

Had a good look but couldn’t find anywhere

Did not find it

Could the next finder PLEASE, put a new piece of paper in this cache as I am on the other side of the country in Wa at the moment. Your help is very much appreciated. gerrynewgirl

A quick pull over and we were signing the log which is quite damp. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching- Heading to Rainbow Beach for a little Fat Bike Riding Fun, picked up this cache on the way.

Nifty hiding knot

Easy find on the way to the shops

Good find

Found relatively quickly. TYFTC.

Really needs maintenance. Log is wet inside

Jonet, Logan

A sneaky little hide! Thanks for the cache!

Quick find with FoxyVixen - log book wet - needs maintenance

Nice easy find with PyriteNinja
Needs maintenance as cache is not water tight. Paper was wet so couldn’t sign.
TFTC

Nice...bit wet..tftc

Found the cache. The paper inside is soaking wet. I’ve added a new piece of paper.

Team effort . Very good spot!

Found it back 2016 but just found I didn't log it. TFTC

Hi there gerrynewgirl.

We are currently staying at Standown Park, Standown Park. It was originally set up as a Veterans Retreat for ‘their mates and later opened to the public to enjoy. Over the years it has grown to become a "home away from home" for many Veterans of all ages and all conflicts plus their families.

Today's venture had us heading out to Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach to bag a few caches along the way. (We would have logged more, but the signs said we needed a vehicle permit to enter.)

All up we found 8 caches & DNF'd 2. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia..

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 5m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found quickly after reading clues, nice hairy man

Found with Sax, good one

Found while visiting TCB for the weekend. Nice park. Easy find.

Braved the possibility of snakes being Stralya ! Lol TFTC

Yay!!!!!! Look at the comments

#thelittlethings

First geocache found, pretty excited and off to find another one already. Easy find once you read through comments

Got it TFTC

It took a little while to find, but we eventually found the cache. TFTC

Found while on the trip back to Hervey Bay with jollyroger&son. TFTC gerrynewgirl. I kept the original log in case you wanted it, but it is pretty blah. Nice spot, but refrained from swimming in the billabong :0

On a trip to Cooloola Cove with gallifreyen we located several caches . With this one we had to supply a dry piece of paper for a new log as the original was mush! TFTC

It was an easy find but the log was soaking wet so we weren’t able to write anything.

Quick easy find. Paper is all wet though...

Found. Paper wet so couldn't sign.

Found with Mrs Ant24 and the geokids while in TinCan Bay for a week.

Inside of cache is quite wet and log paper very damp. Was still able to sign it though.

TFTC

Holidaying in Tin can bay thought we would do a few caches. Nice spot for the kids to play and find the Cache. Paper was wet in Cache. TFTC

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Nalezeno při výletě do Tin Can bay společně s "blech". Krásné místo díky za kešku.
Found on a trip to Tin Can bay along with "blech". Beautiful place thanks for the cache.
No trade

Easy find

Quick easy find we Bush bashed through them found an easy track

Dora the Explorer!, Phil Serenity, Mrs CDAH55 and I decided to head to Tin Can Bay to watch the dolphins being fed and to gather with the other tourists. After having seen enough of the dolphins, it would seem silly to come all this way and not grab some nearby caches.

This was one of several caches found today.

After finding the cache, the log was signed by all of us and returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.

The log sheet was soggy and unusable however we signed on a small piece of scrap paper and added to the log. I usually carry spare water proof logs with me but for some reason, I took them out of the car.

Find #1288

TFTC ***gerrynewgirl***

Found this one but unable to log it so we took a photo for our records and proof. Spoiler alert.

Found this one while in the area looking at a caravan to buy.
A quick find and thankfully we were out of sight of the youths at the playground nearby.
Log is very damp and nearly unusable.
Thanks for the hide gerrynewgirl.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

I was concerned I'd have trouble with this one because it wasn't found in more than 3 months, and whilst I found easily, the log was wet and I couldn't sign properly. Photo log to follow

Found 25/09/17 Kokopelli

TFTC but needs maintenance

Knot is a good clue

Found it to day

Not i'd like to swim there

TFTC out and about with sister and niece log is full log is wet signed GS1947

Great spot east find!

Log has suffered somewhat from moisture. TFTC.

mmmm maybe next time

Found it on a day out. Thanks gerrynewgirl. .

Great find for geogirl!!! It's kind of classic that the paper was in the paper bark tree.

Yay. 3 in a day.

Escaped for a few days of sand filled fun with Nyssaflutterby and Minniemoo and some of their kids.
Minniemoo needed a B cache for the monthly challenge so we sidetracked to get this one.
A quick easy find, the hard part was getting the kids to leave the park!

A quick stop here at the end of our short little holiday to Rainbow Beach. Kids played in the playground while we went searching for a swagman to tell tales to. Found him pretty quickly and he advised us that more gloomy weather was on the way and we would likely encounter it during our travels back to Brisbane. Said our farewells then had to convince the geokids to leave the playground before we headed on our way once more. Thanks for the cache gerrynewgirl.

Didn't know there was a woolies here

Thanks, the hint was great! Tftc

Here on vacation from Canada with SwagHo. TFTC.

Love the name 'Billabong Park'. QEF with HennyGeo. Here in Australia on holidays from Vancouver Island Canada TFTC

Nice park. TFTC

Many Muggle BMXers on track beside GZ so had to be sneaky .

Brought the geo-van-that-can up to Rainbow beach for the long weekend and thought we'd have a cache morning by taking a drive out to Tin Can Bay (we have previously done all the ones at our door step last year!!!) This was our second cache off the rank today, didn't find the hairy guard but I did find this un-hairy specimen lying around...
Tftc

Out for a morning of geocaching with jonesgang. One FTF and No dnfs which was nice.

After lunch at the Cafe up the road we went for a quick wall to grab this one. TFTC

Tftc a quick find! The hairy men standing guard! Log ok

Great hiding spot in a lovely specimen of this type of tree. Quiet in this park today.
TFTC gerrynewgilr

Nice spot, quick easy find. TFTC gerrynewgirl

Lots to choose from once we got close to GZ, but we checked out a few alternatives and managed to sign the log without too much trouble.
TFTC

Nice little Sunday find. 3 of us looking & a newby found it. Well done Laura!!Log needs drying out if anyone is in the area & has a bit of time to sit it in the sun.
Found & signed. TFTF

Tough find for us newbies but great clue TFTC

Great hiding spot! Coordinates off a little bit. Log is wet. We will replace.

Shopping with the grannies, while waiting Lozza and I found this. Yes log is damp but ok.

Quick find but another wet log TFTC

A quick find as we explore the area. TNLN TFTC

a great hint - spot on a nice little park. someone was having their lunch when I went past both times - nothing suspicious here to see SL. TFTC.

gerrynewgirl thanks for adding to such an amazing weekend, we've had so much fun on your cache trail some of which are pretty crazily hidden - far from expectation. definitley some inspiration for when we get into placing our own!! TFTC

Make sure you get the right gnarly tree ... some have holes that go on forever ......

That one had the kids stumped for a while

When we read the coords were slightly off we found it straight away, great clue good cache

Gnarly tree

Gps had me a liitle off but used hints and came up with it

Morsom opgave og fint gemmested.

Took us a little while but we got it!!

First find on our Fraser coast expedition! TFTC!

First cache for the day! Good clue. Tftc!

Just topped up on supplies at the grocery shop for our Rainbow beach holiday and ducked over to check out the park. Still light rain so no playing muggles. Past the park and spotted the billabong - looks nice but not keen for a dip today.
Following the clue, spotted lots of hairy men, just needed the right one. Nice hide , cool spot.

Stopped off for this one while Mrs Browngang went shopping.
Nearly came in from the "hard" direction, straight through the scrub before realizing there was lawn I could come in along.
Thanks for the cache and cheers from Browngang

Gps said the cache was 1m into the water and i was going in their to find it.

After basing ourselves at Standown Park we managed to get this cache while touring around the Tin Can Bay/Rainbow Beach area. Nice one. Thanks to gerrynewgirl for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location.

Tftf, good one, littlest enjoyed getting it once we worked out the hint

Cache Nr. 3761
Misses Quiri went shopping and I went caching.
Thanks for the cache Quiri
