Found with Pprime` as part of our Toowoomba adventure.Thankyou for the entertainment here.
This was my target cache for today as i needed a multi to fill in my calendar . So it was a bit of a detour and then at GZ i already saw in the gallery a photo of where the cache was located so we found the cache and enjoyed this cemetery. What a great day to be a geocacher. Thanks Brother Colin for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
I was up in Toowoomba to visit my sister in hospital today.Visiting hour is 11am. That gave me some caching time.Caches were found and signed,Brother Colin thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.
We travelled to this region on our cacher tour.We also passed by here on our search for the Enterprise and played this multi.Thank you for this cacheTeam sissifalke
Growing up around the area I had fond memories of coming into the pub for special occasions particularly Christmas time. Yet I knew of only one cemetery in the town and not the second one. So I definitely found this cache interesting and the local history of family names that I knew. The information was located swiftly and cache located easily. Collected a trackable that was not listed in the cache. Will move on.Thanks for the cache.
We timed this find just as the church service had finished. As the cemetery is at the back of the church, a few of the men came to see what we were up to. As we couldn't find the cache. One of the men maintained the cemetery and went and handed us the cache . He found it out in the open and wet a week ago. He, for some reason, hung onto it. We replaced the log in a new zip tie bag and replaced the cache at G.Z. Hope it's all good now.
Our first puzzle type find- took us awhile but interesting way to read the graves - placed a travelling cache in it to hopefully continue its journey
We really enjoyed this cache. Would also really like to know why it was this certain resting place. Was it significant? To find such an old cemetery which appeared full of the Irish is truely amazing. We really do Thank you for this unbelievable caching history. TYFTF
Missed this one when we were doing SSE but found today.
Thanks to some photo hints.

Found while on holidays from Mackay with alphag_25. Slight change in the original plans with heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for Easter Friday we started out early to get as many as we could in the SSE Geoart. Caches all logged 7/4/23 however found over today and yesterday. Some lovely back roads travelled, stopped for a picnic on the side of the road where we found some mown grass and had the farmer come out and check us out making sure we hadn’t broken down . All caches found quite quickly, lots of long grass but thankfully not too many people about. TFTC.
Slowly working our way back to Cairns after attending Qogm 2022. Did your Resting In Peace # 1 today. 24 October 2022 10:31 am Tyfc Speedmistress total caches now 5957 .
Tftc Speedmistress, found the info at WP1 fairly easy, at WP2 eventually gathered the info.
With a bit of help from a previous log located the cache
Warrants a higher D rating

I worked on this multi while in the area collecting the SSE caches.
With my potential gz locked in, I quickly found the cache tucked away.
I love the church here, such an interesting looking building.

***COs- still haphazardly trying to catch up on my massive logging backlog stretching back a number of years. It started as a series of unfortunate events and went from there...I'm logging this cache on the day I visited, apologies for the late log.****************************************Beamed myself up here mainly to do the ??SSE series with hatzofff, RoddyC and Imbunda. ??Went star trekking around the countryside finding all of them over 2 days. Star logs replaced in a fair few of them.???????? ?? No Klingons on the starboard bow or anywhere else, just a little mud which I know to avoid like the plague around here. ????????Some of the puzzles were easy?? and others were a steep learning curve?? in some of the tricks of computer technology???? which challenged my dinosaur brain!??????TFTC??
TFTC smile 10326 3 day weekend out and about with Hatzofff RoddyC Echocage1 Imbunda no miss millie geo dog this weekend great friends, great day ,good weather love the area (day1)plenty mud and a little rain just to make it enjoyable

What a huge day of star trekking across the Oakey landscape. Warp speed back 12 months and after a successful weekend caching in Stanthorpe, our little group set lasers to stun the enterprise. But too many battles with Klingon's and Romulan’s saw us constantly regrouping to finally get a free weekend to launch an attack. A sip and solve session prior gave us a good jump into the completing the puzzles.
The weekend was set and included an event organised to celebrate the reconstruction of the enterprise. We had allies from all over the countryside to congratulate us on a job well done. We had the captain of the enterprise (Brother Colin), attend the event and who may have been overwhelmed by the attention he received.
The drive around the countryside was spectacular, a little muddy in some spots from the recent rains but it was fantastic to see the area in a green, lush, splendour, add to it the flowering jacarandas, beautiful.
The puzzles and complexity of some was awesome, a very good learning curve for a non-puzzler, lol. Brother Colin explained the hides and I could now see the reasoning to the placements and the thought process behind the whole geoart. We found all the caches and even found some with new logs, thanks to some other cachers on the trails as well.
It was a great weekend with lots of laughs and antics from everyone. Thank you Brother Colin for a splendid piece of art, the unlimited puzzles and headaches and some nice placements. For me it was a very good learning tool as well.

Eleven months ago, after a weekend in Stanthorpe, a group of us mentioned the SSE as a geoart goal. After many distractions along the way, we finally had a date. Lots of learning when completing the variety of puzzles, some easy, some a lot more difficult for a beginner solver. With everything solved, we were on our way and ready to meet at Oakey with Chamad, Simber15 and Nayfee.
Lots of mud. So much mud. But all were found and the mission was completed. Thanks Brother Colin for the effort that went in to completing this geoart. We love geoarts because there is a sense of completion.
Took a team effort to complete this one and find the cache. I have realised that this needs to be logged for my SSE to be complete. The church here is breath-taking and and matches the visual image of a country church to perfection.

This weekend was spent in Toowoomba as I needed to complete this series and my fellow cachers, Hatsoff, GrannySmith1947, Echocage1 had to do the whole series and RoddyC was a driver.
Eventually able to get the correct Lovely weather and cache found. Signed the log and replaced all as found. TFTC

Having run a 'Sip and Solve' puzzle solving session online last year during lockdown the GeoArt had been on the to do list for a good year. A plan was formed more recently to camp at Oakey over the October long weekend (due to Ekka being postponed) and tackle the art. The call went out to a few others we enjoy travelling with and the solving began! Lots of back and forth between members and we finally had a full set a few days out from the trip.
We met at SSE 6 and formed a plan of attack on the best route to collect the art in a day. The roads were wet and muddy but that isn't going to stop a group of dedicated geocachers on a mission! The rain held off which we were grateful for however chunks of mud were often shaken off shoes before returning to cars and moving on to the next one.
As is always the case when caching with others there were many laughs and a great time had by all. Always a great sense of achievement when you've been working through a project over a number of weeks.
Thankyou for placing and arranging this series for our enjoyment. The fields and flowers were in bloom. Birds a plenty enjoying the roadside water sources. The scenery was refreshing. Always enjoy a taste of the countryside.

A plan had been put in motion and the almighty team (TripleTurmoil, Simber15, Chamad and myself) beamed onto the StarShip Enterprise to put the the poor bugger back together again, with a bit of tinkering here and there the ship was in tip top shape ready to explore the unknown and to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Thank you Brother Colin for placing and maintaining this wonderful GeoArt for us to enjoy, we had a fabulous time exploring the area.

Today, with Adelaidean e.gregory1 travelling through Queensland, I decided to catch up with him in Toowoomba. We had both worked through the *Starship Enterprise* (SSE) puzzles, and so that consumed the majority of the day in finding. Following that power trail, we used our remaining daylight in walking around Mount Peel to collect a few of the interesting cache types and challenge caches. We then had a fast food dinner, and we used the remainder of the evening finding additional challenge caches in north-west Toowoomba around Cotswold Hills and Torrington. An enjoyable yet exhausting day!
We took a break from the SSE series to complete this multi-cache. We spent a bit of time at each of the three waypoints gathering the necessary information and performing the required arithmetic. The two checks provided confidence at each of the relevant waypoints, and we then made the final visit to GZ, where e.gregory1 made the cache find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Speedmistress for the cache placement, and Brother Colin for its ongoing maintenance.

Found on a day out in the Toowoomba area with Davidwazza.
I am currently travelling from Adelaide up to Cairns to meet up with friends later in the month. I’ve got plenty of time to get there so have been taking the opportunity to do a bit of sightseeing and find a few caches along the way.
I was intending to do the SSE geoart series and Davidwazza was also keen so we met up early this morning to tackle it. After a cold morning, the sun came out and it was a perfect day for caching.
This Multi was along our route, so we stopped to complete it while passing. It was a good little distraction from the geoart series.
Thanks Brother Colin for the cache.

I really thought in my many years of infrequent trips to Dalby, I'd collected all the Speedmistress multi-caches. Nope, it seems. This morning I'm on the start of a road trip with oz_bean_counter and her Miss 12. Eventually, we'll head from Brisbane to Dalby, then onto nearly Nanango via Crows Nest. After deciding against a mountain climb, we're west of Toowoomba much earlier than planned, and this suggestion came from OBC. She was driving, so I'm happy for the detour.
As we rolled onto the starting location, she was a bit ancy as to where we even needed to go. Then, I was very ancy when hell-hound neighbour dog appeared. They were silent and well trained when the owner called them back. Then I did a big silly and trusted OBC to sort out the numbers and maths required here as all three of us hunted for the names. I attempted terrible impromptu limericks which nobody laughed at.
When I noticed OBC had a literal handful of notes, and was whinging the maths wouldn't work, I realised my mistake and offered to take over. Together a few numbers were checked and we had the second location.
Here the boss was out doing some gardening in the grounds, but we were free to go where we needed to go and find what we needed to find. Two things were a bit sucky here. First was we had issues locating the required numbers. Second was the long grass was making my shoes wet. Neither of which require any blame outside yours truly.
More struggling with numbers when the geocache was found. Very out in the open, sitting atop a headstone. Ahh, well I guess we found it then? Interestingly, it matched the final location hint, so assumed it had been maybe found and temporarily relocated by the groundskeeper, but then forgotten and left. We signed our names, then I poked it back in the most logical place. A tree clump just to the left.
But with that done, another Resting series multicache complete on our trip west. It's a long way until my next unfound icon, so I'm happy. Thanks for this geocache, Speedmistress, and looking after it, Brother Colin

An epic roadtrip was planned from Brisbane North to Brisbane South to Toowoomba to Dalby to Crows Nest to Nanango, and home again. This one fit within our giant circumnavigation of the earth (well that's what it felt like!) and I was delighted that my 12 year old decided to join me, as did Captain Terror. Of course, what happens on tour stays on tour, but I thoroughly enjoyed the day - the laughs, the company and the caches.
I have a special interest in old caches - this one included! And so do my travelling companions, so we jointly decided to stop off for this one. Delighted to see an original log! Lovely place, I could have soaked up that view for hours.
I am not sure where the cache container is supposed to be - I found it by accident while hunting for the clues. It has been placed in the nearest organic carbon capture device.

Easter trip away (in the hopes of getting into Qld) with fitzy_1965 for the cacheQLD Dayboro Mega.
Up early to head over the border thanks to the Qld Premier. Headed through Warwick to Toowoomba then onto the Mega site in Dayboro.....a long 14hour day.
Met up with nibletricecakes & GLISS! to do the SSE series and signed logs as MiNiFiG!s to save space.
Nice quick find unless otherwise stated. Loved this little multi....a nice way to break up the SSE series.

23,957. Found with minniek on our Dayboro QLD MEGA Adventure trip. For this series we also cached with Nibletricecakes and GLISS! to form and sign as MiNiFiGS!
With the sudden COVID outbreak in Queensland putting the Mega in doubt we decided to head up to the New South Wales / Queensland border and see what happens, while developing a Plan B (Longreach region) and a Plan C (New South Wales counties loop) ! Day 3. With the announcement that things were mostly returning to normal we decided Plan A still looked good. An early start today with an aim of caching our way through some counties and catching up with some caching friends to do the Star Ship Enterprise series, then head to Dayboro to set up camp. This was the next stop for the day. Finally started on the long anticipated Star Ship Enterprise series as Team MiNiFiGS! All finds were made nice and quickly without problems unless otherwise mentioned. This was a bonus Multi along the way. Loved that church ! With GZ calculated off we went for a quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next one.
Thanks Speedmistress !!

Gotcha. What an amazing church in this little town!!
Signed today as MINIFIG! as I teamed up with GLISS! Minniek and Fitzy_1965 to tackle the SSE. Great to be finally in Queensland with our eyes on the Mega Prize.
This is the first Mega we have had in Australia in over a year. We have navigated lockdowns, mouse plagues, floods and the dreaded Covid to get here. Great to be able to be out caching in Queensland. Such a privilege. Thanks for the cache.

We had to evict a cobweb inhabitant as well as an army of cockroaches to get to this cache. Once the removalists did their job, the log was signed, cache returned and we were on our way again. Thanks for the cache but not the creepie crawlies.
Once Papi4506 had sent the wildlife scattering, the log was signed, cache returned and we were back on our way again. If only all finds were so quick, lol. Thanks for the cache.
Brahms6 found this one. Wazza and Kara and Mrs Wazza and Kara some down from Cairns for a couple of days geocaching and we hit the roads. Saw lots of back roads. TFTC.
We enjoyed the drive to this location and after finding the required information the container was soon located and the log book was signed. TFTC
As I have a passion for cemetery caches this one came up with all the goods. Two different sites, questions that have an insight into our heritage and lots of fun. Unsure of one answer but glad of the check sum! Bless that little baby nearby who died so young ! Tftc
Loved this really interesting multi in a lovely area. Always enjoy a cemetery cache. Fav point for this one. Tftc
Trudging across the cracked black soil in the heat, can't help but think it must have been hard for the Irish and Germans to acclimatise. Had to view from an outside angle to spot this one. Tftc.
Completed half of this cache the other day but ran out of time and had to get back into town to pick up the youngest Davinell. Back out this way today and was able to gather the remaining information and finally was able to put in the right coords and made the find. Tftc Speedmistress
A week or two ago, we drove through Toowoomba on our return trip from Canberra to Brisbane. It was a lovely detour, albeit short, and we had time for just a couple of the SSE series. We decided to come back this weekend, and despite the rain, put a plan in place to collect as many of the SSE series as we could. We saved this one for last, in case we ran out of time, but here we are!
Homework done, and questions answered to get a set of coordinates which lead us to a beautiful place we had commented upon as we had driven by earlier in the day.
GZ involved some extra work and after answering a few more questions, we soon had a log to sign.
Thanks Speedmistress for this one. It was great to fit this multi into our day, and read about so much local history.

I now see that this makes up a bit of my spacecraft. Out with the SSE CO this was an easy find. TFTC
Oops, hangon, this isn't an SSE puzzle ... we have a live one here .... err, well, actually, not so much of the living I guess. A cemetery multi. I was in the area with Crew153, 1MinnieMoo and Fangsoki, and as the morning waned we had time, and certainly motivation to take a nice little break here. And here. Information quickly collected, although the dry loose dirt was a little soft in places (cannot imagine if it ever got rained on). On to part two, and while it took a few more moments to sort out what we needed it wasn't too long before we were zeroing in on the expected spot, and with a fresh perspective our quarry was spotted. And signed. Thanks for the break.
Thanks Speedmistress for entertaining me at this location.

A decision was made that today Fangsoki, PPrime, Crew153 and I would head out to grab the SSE caches and in doing so get at least 100 caches in the day. Well this betters any previous day’s caching count by far, as my best was 36. So, at some unhealthy hour of the morning, the alarm went off, followed very quickly afterwards by a message from PPrime to say he was on his way - 15 minutes ahead of scheduled time. Well that got us up and moving fast!
But on our way we soon were. A short while later we had collected Crew153, and after a bit more of a drive we began our day. It didn’t take long at all for us to start racking up our numbers, and despite a few DNFs our day ran rather smoothly overall. And somehow we all ended up in fairly good spirits still at the end of the day.
It was nice to break up the trail with this multi - we enjoyed looking for the clues then our search for the final, and this was definitely the prettiest and most interesting area we saw today. Thanks for the cache Speedmistress.

A late decision last week was made for an attempt to complete the SSE in one day.. Fangsoki, Pprime, 1MinnieMoo and I headed off and found the first cache just before 7am and had searched for all the caches by 1pm and then decided to find a few more caches around Toowoomba before heading home.
This cache was one which we found for the day. We enjoyed gathering the information and the cache was found after a short search.

I did the SSE caches on my bike. I did not have the care or time to do an extra multi then. Today I had been supplied with the final numbers, so it was a nice easy find for me.
Lovely church here. Some well kept old graves too. Always fascinating reading the old stones.

Our second day collecting this geoart as yesterday the temptation of going to an event was just too much! We had worked out our route which meant we didn’t have to retrace our steps and it worked out well. We would also like to point out that all the coords (except one, a replacement one) were spot on which is a credit to the CO!! Well done Brother Colin.
We hate multi’s with a passion and although we did ok with this one we weren’t too sure on Q7??? Any how we found and signed the log.
TFTC and puzzle!

The planets finally aligned and we found ourselves able to attend an event in Toowoomba for the weekend. We had been gradually solving the various puzzles for the Starship Enterprise cache series over the past few years and while we were in the area, we took the opportunity to find this multi-cache.
We had no difficulty in locating the information at way points 1 and 2, but we did have some difficulty trying to work out what was meant to be found for way point 3. We ended up phoning a friend and not long after, we soon found the cache and added our name to the log book.
Thank you Speedmistress for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Out the Toowoomba way to finish off the geo art.
We came past this cache a while ago but today we collected all the numbers and made the find.

Thanks for this one, it was a bit frustrating due to it didn’t make sense with the check numbers until I re-read and gave myself a slap on the head. Thanks for this one
Spent the day wandering around the countryside between Toowoomba and Millmeran picking up a few caches. I enjoy cemetery caches and having done the Jondaryan one yesterday this one was high on my list TFTC speedmistress
Up in Toowoomba from the mid north coast to do the SSE series and of course this had to be done, we signed the cache as DrB. TFTC
Had to find this one while we doing the SSE Enterprise Series. Love the location, thank you for placing. Log signed Team DRB to save time and space.
On a mission to complete the 'know your local cacher challenge' & having found other hide types from this CO, we made our way here today to add a multi to our list. We walked around wp1 obtaining the necessary info. Was pretty straight forward & then we made our way to wp2. Again we found the info we needed and shortly thereafter had cih. We liked this multi, great locations & not overly complicated, Tftc Speedmistress xo
Life has gotten in the way recently and caching outings have been scarce. To gather up the souvenirs on offer at the moment, some numbers were needed and the Star Ship Enterprise Series, which has been on the Bromance radar for a while, seemed perfect.
A scout around at the listed coordinates soon had the clues gathered. However, SwellerFungus and KUW were struggling to get the checksum to work. It took resident Bromance numbers man Seffnjarah to get a green tick. At the final location, a foul smell (perhaps from some dead birds noticed in the yard) meant speed was critical. Further clues were gathered and despite the bumbling efforts of KUW and Swellerfungus, some final coordinates were calculated. Whilst the others wandered in circles, I spotted the clue and was signing the log before they even realised.
Nice break from the puzzles and hides of the SSE. Thanks for placing and maintaining this multi, Speedmistress .

Accompanied by Crookedpete, Swellerfungus and the resident brainiac Keepingupwith (who was tasked with polishing off those stubborn puzzles that just refused to reveal an answer for the rest of us), we hit the road for Toowoomba on a chilly winter's morning to complete the SSE puzzle series. Winding our way along the country roads, we took turns grabbing the caches (some more successfully than others) depending on which side of the car the hide was on.
This multi was encountered on our way so we stopped at the first WP to collect the answers. After steering SF and KUW in the right direction to confirm the checksum (reading the cache listing always helps!) We moved on to the next location to complete the final requirements. TFTC

Out today hunting a stardhip. Neeed this one to complete the set! Thanks for the multi. A little tough to follow in places, but got there in the end!
Was out with SeffNJarah, CrookedPete and the MagicMushroom tearing about the place looking for the SSE. Came to this one a bit after halfway through the tour. At the first stop we found the clues then struggled for a while until SNJ mastered reading the description.
Checksum checked we headed down to the second stop where it would have been a lot more pleasant if it weren't for a bunch of dead crows littering the lawn. Found the answers while hold our noses and then CP made a find on the cache.
We signed up and sped off for the next SSE cache.
Thanks Speedmistress for a fun multi to breakup the day!

With the puzzles solved, E(:, NeversayDi and patrol14 teamed up to find the SSE series of caches past Toowoomba.
An early day with a start time of 8am, we started at Wellcamp and worked out way around until we were nearly back to the start.
What a beautiful day even if the temperature was only 4deg when we started. The wind kept the temperature on the chilly side.
While out this way, we stopped to gather the info and then find the final for this multi. Cache located, SL then returned as found. What a lovely church and cemetery.
Found at 10:17 AM, TFTC Speedmistress

How interesting to see so many old Irish and German headstones.
Very grateful for the check sums... thanks. One answer is a bit 'iffy'.
We loved this multi. Fav Point from us. All is well here.

A group attack was planned for Brother Colin's SSE series of caches this weekend with me providing the transport and Zacgyver working out the puzzles ably assisted by La Kedi. This was a great chance to take a break and explore a little bit of history you would never know existed hidden away from the main road. TFTC
That was an interesting exploration of local history - the cultural influence is very clear, isn’t it? We found the numbers without trouble but had difficulty making the last one fit, though the checksum saved us s there. We weren’t comfortable approaching from inside so headed outside and managed, not without some effort, to reach it.
In Toowoomba with Zacgyver and bulldozer 72 for an enterprising attempt to catch hidden creatures. Zac was the brains, bulldozer was the brawn: and I was keeping them in check. ’Twas a crisp Darling Downs day but perfect for geocaching. TFTC, Speedmistress. =^.^=

A week ago I mentioned to La Kedi that I had that night started looking at the SSE puzzles and she suggested we go up to Toowoomba the next weekend and get these to fulfill the Hidden Creatures souvenirs challenge in one go. The deal was I solve the puzzles and she would provide the transport and accommodation. That is fine by me, I can solve just over 100 puzzles in a week right? Sure...
By this morning I had solved about 75 and had around 10 half solved. La Kedi solved a few last night. Bulldozer 72 drove us around today as we collected the caches.
Okay this wasn't one of the pre-solved puzzles but it was an awesome little multi. La Kedi got most of the info, I was kinda stuck noticing quite a few of the people shared a surname with me. A tool helped us retrieve the cache easily.
Tonight is the time to finish the puzzles for tomorrow and hope we can complete the Enterprise.

Today’ mission – to sign the log of all the SSE puzzles I have managed to complete (some on my own, some with a gentle nudge in the right direction and some with a big shove in the right direction!) Secondary mission to gain hidden creature souvenirs.
The multi conveniently ended up in the middle of today's epic adventure and like a previous finder I am giving a favourite point to the bathroom facilities! Very welcome at this time. Had no trouble finding the required information, at calculation time it seemed one value might not be quite right but still managed to figure out correct co-ords for GZ.
Thanks Speedmistress for this this little tour today

TFTC- day 2 of this journey to get this series done after working out the puzzles with the snakepiters. Have had great fun solving these caches with a lot more skills gained from the experience.
An interesting multi in old cemeteries. We arrived here late in the day but finished before 6pm.
Loved the first cemetery and there was even someone there with my last name.
Gathered the info and headed to our next place.
Had difficulty with last question but got there in the end.
Once at GZ the cache was in hand and the log signed.
Returned to where we found it.

My wife and I were out on the Enterprise hunt and headed to Aubigny hoping there was a toilet of any description. We were almost at crisis point.
Before starting the multi we saw what looked like a toilet in the church grounds and the door was open. Woo-hoo! There was a car parked in the grounds and it was in use so that was a relief. We waited for the people to leave and as they drove out, I could swear one of the ladies in the group was familiar.
My wife sits on a bit of a high-horse when it comes to public toilets and I was trying to set the bar low but she wanted to give this church loo a favourite point. It was clean, had paper, hand wash and towels for drying your hand.
We could suddenly think straight again and set off to the posted coordinates to gather the information. We thought we were killing it, but when we drove to our next calculated waypoint we were in someone's backyard. Back we go to check our numbers and sure enough our calculator batteries were busted. A second visit to the cemetery showed us the error of our ways.
We next made our way to a better location that we had spied on our toilet stop and even then it took us a bit of time to unlock the information we needed. Seeing we couldn't exactly get a number quite right, we plotted a few likely waypoints and checked them all. The last one revealed the cache and I could see that someone had already visited earlier in the day. I believed I had seen Mrs RoddyC near the toilets earlier on and it was confirmed when I saw her name in the log book.
We enjoyed the toilets so much that my wife visited again seeing we had spent nearly an hour completing this multi and using the facilities twice. I'm awarding a favourite point for the cache, although my wife wants to award another one for the toilet. tftc

This was a very interesting multi to do over two different cemeteries and I always like reading the inscription written on the very old headstones. Had to use Mr Google to help with the very last question and soon had cache in hand. A neat hide and TFTC Speedmistress

Dora the Explorer! and I was heading to Toowoomba today to grab a few targetted caches.
This cache was not far away from where we were camping so we decided to grab this one before it got dark.
We had gathered the information required at waypoint 1 easy enough but took us a little longer to obtain the required information at waypoint 2.
Once that was obtained it was not too long before the cache was in hand.
The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache was replaced exactly as found.
All is good with this cache.

Took a little while to work out what IHS meant. Quick find once we had co ordinates
Mrs NQ likes the odd cemetery cache and this was a welcome diversion from the SSE series. It was dead quiet in town as we cruised all the roads in Aubigny and collected the clues. Had to deduce the final number but found the cache easily but uncovered. Thanks Speedmistress
We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.

Well it was hot out and about today. we tackled the SSE series which brought us right past the start of this multi. we made a hash of solving this so it took us close to an hour to complete but we really just bimbled about. Lovely to visit the history involved with this cache.

Out caching in the area today with Selva Girls and my geoteens, we enjoyed some local history doing this multi. I always enjoy the window into the past some of these caches provide, and this one was no different. Tftc Speedmistress!
After finding a nearby cache, stortigirls and I made our way to this one. Numbers were gathered at WP1 and we were soon off to WP2. We found what we were looking for and were soon off to GZ. There, the cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC
We located WP1 and wandered around collecting the required info. My boots were coated in enough mud to make them feel like moon boots. And the checksum didn’t work whichever way we cut it.
So... Off we went to WP2 and the location looked good. We quickly located the roses Things went awry from there and we hopped back into Sooty the mudmobile and drove off chasing spaceships
Fast forward and we were back in the village and about to drive out the other side. I had earlier messaged for a nudge and received a response. We did a U turn and parked nearby and TeamARF took off on foot. Success
We made this much harder than the CO intended. I blame the weather as it’s hard to think with goosebumps on the brain.
TFTC Speedmistress! A tiny blip in the road and you managed to get us to stop here. Thrice

Out and about with Ms Maddy exploring the nearby universe and this was the ultimate reality check, the dead centre of town.
Walking around we started to get taller with each stride. The accumulated height and slippery foundations made me feel over 2 metres in height walking on a tightrope. The rain and wind didn't help collect the clues as the checksums ended up being way out. Same issue at WP2 so instead of getting all worked up about it we continued to infinity and beyond.
Capt Maddy locked onto some telepathic signal a millennium or two out of town which resulted in a slingshot effect back to town and a quick find. Thanks for the multi, Speedmistress.

I decided to have this morning to myself, since I've been juggling two jobs and a couple of sicknesses in the last several weeks. Naturally that means I'll go and find a few geocaches!
I've been waiting for a chance to head out and collect this Multi, along with some Starship Enterprise puzzles I've had solved for some time. Today I drove straight from the Highfields school drop off zone to the listed coordinates, and from there the eleventy-billion flies and I wandered around, gathering our answers then I dove into the car to do the calculations in solitude!
I think my coordinates must have been out by a little, possibly due to rushing to get away from the flies, but upon reading the description again and a couple of previous logs, I soon found the cache location and added my name.
Thanks for this cache, Speedmistress, it is a lovely location even when full of 'flying tourists'.

Grabbed this cache while completing the local geoart. Flies everywhere at the first location!
Left early and headed up the range to finish up the 21 remaining unfound caches of the SSE GeoArt, and find a few others in the Toowoomba area. Brother Colin was free so he joined me for a drive in the country, a walk in the park and a hike through the hills.
We stopped here to search the cemetery on the way through. BC remembered some parts of it, and the rest of the info was soon obtained. A bloke and his kids (no school today ?!) were repairing the fence here but were thankfully disinterested. Final GZ found without any dramas.
Thanks for the hunt **Speedmistress** and all the puzzle makers, this find makes #4041.

We really had a bad dose of cache/information searching blindness at the second cemetery but finally with PAF and some number crunching we were able to find the container. So much history in these little towns and villages. Thanks Speedmistress for bringing us here.
Wow, finding this cache took us longer than expected, especially when we arrived at the second cemetery. Had to PAF, who gave us a nudge in the right direction and even then it still took a while. TFTC
