Unfortunately will have to close this one down.

I see the owner has disabled this one, but not signed in since. Perhaps this one needs to be put to sleep.

Had a look for this one, found the mosaic's in forntof the seat, no cache where the GPS had me.
Certainly needs updating.

Appears to have been muggled? Recent rains may have been a factor. Will investigate.

Looked for a while.

Looks like the council clean up may have made off with this one. Nothing in sight!

Once we found the railway carriage we were right!!! Gr8 cache Thanks heaps xx

A fun find and a good cache to intro a newbie

We introduced our Hervey Bay friends to Geocaching with this cache. They had known about the old railway line and it's current use. The cache was quickly found on a muggle fre day.

Nice easy cache, it's good to get an easy one for a change, Thanks

FOR THE HORDE!!!

Nice geocache swapped purple frog for Indonesian 50000

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

We had tried for this one previously, but sadly muggles were always close by. Today we were back in the area, and were lucky to find an empty GZ

A quick find, and we were off to find some more

Thus was a very good cache. All intact and in good condition. Geokids lived I'd and swapped a sticky toy for 50,000 rupiah. TFTC!

Found it,many muggles passing by.

Found as a part of Team SaintsMadHouse and now that the kids have grown we each have our own accounts to finddd geocaches with separately wherever we go!Drove to this one during a recent trip. We arrived at night and were spending all our time looking for the things mentioned in the clue. I thought I would take a seat and rethink and let the GPS settle and then the torch showed me the way. I started laughing and called Geohubby back to see. He laughed too and we then trusted the GPS was giving us the right idea and over we went to make the find. We left a Bunny TB.

Found with Justjessie on our winter trip to Queensland to escapes Canberra's cold. Today we hired bikes for a spot of caching around Hervey Bay.

In Hervey Bay for a few days and this was the third cache attempted today. Cannot get over the number of micro or small caches that was on my list today.
Well I made a mess of this guy by being on the wrong side of the fence but the cache was soon in hand and good to see a larger cache. NINO and thanks to The Crumpies for placing this cache.

Found on a nice day for caching while staying just up the road for a few days.
Nice easy find. TNLNSL TFTC

Many Thx 4 this easy one. It was my 6 yr olds 1st find with a treasure and the flip flop key ring was a hit. We left a squishy croc.

it helps to be on the other side of the fence.

Thanks for the cache

left Flip-flop keyring

Easy find by Ms Bushies2. Thanks The Crumpies.

Found it after checking in in the neighbouring caravan park. TFTC. Greetings from Slovenia.

Easy find while riding around town. Thanks

Cache found easily today whilst out and about in the bay... Gee the muggles appear from nowhere along this little track. Luckily they disappear just as quick... Took TB & GC to further their travels. TFTC The Crumpies

A nice wee trail. TFTC

We were supposed to be hunting for dinner, but got distracted by this cache first Cheers Gav [8314]

wow der ging schnell
leider war er fuer meinen biggest tb nicht gross genug
merci

This one was a nice easy find. Very glad to have done this when there were no muggles around. Subtle retrieval could be an issue I signed the log and returned it. The plastic bag is sopping - but the cache contents are all okay. A nice little park. TFTC The Crumpies

A nice spot to visit

Many thanks

Found while on a short visit to the bay for Easter / Anzac weekend. Very interesting location for a cache. Thank you Crumpies for showing us the other side of town, and a piece of local history.

Now that we know about this track we will use it when we are in town.

TFTC

Easy find, co-ords spot on.
Everything wet - sorry I didnt have equipment with me to repair.
Needs maintenance - maybe a new waterproof container
Thanks

Found with nephew. Took yellow slinky left 2 shadows key ring. TFTC

Didn't understand the clue until after I'd found the cache. As previously mentioned the contents are very wet - I dried them out as best I could using my hanky but the cache needs attention. TNLN and TFTC

Very interesting spot with a lot of history. Tricky hint but managed to find cache.Unfortunately it was very wet and some of the swaps are soaked. Cleaned it up as best we could and replaced ziplock bag with the log book in it. Thank you for an unusual cache .Took little white plastic statue and left a boomerang keyring.SL

This is a nice little cache but it needs TLC as some of the swaps are soaked. Not suprising after the rain we have had!

Previously found as Aussie Girl Gee on 15.1.2011 with Oldbazza.

Wow what a fright Cane Toad went over my shoulder as I went to pick up cache. Found with Aussie Girl Gee in the dark. Decided to to call it a day and get my 600th on Fraser Island.

Last find of the evening with Oldbazza

found very quick like the 2 other caches at that day

got it

Hervey Bay is ideal for jogging. During my mornings run found this cache.

Thanks for the cache. A nice find on a beautiful morning. Took the camera, left a zombie.

Thanks Crumpies....nice find in a nice place.

A quick find - interesting history to the spot.

The last for today, nice and fast found, thank you!!!

Found while out for a cache finding ride. It was nice and quiet at 6.30 in the morning. TFTC.

Nice nice tftc

Being a train driver, this one was of interest to me, being along the old alignment. A massive buffer stop still exists down near the Urangan pier. Found at 1615 hrs.

Cheers

Nice and easy find.

Part of my great Hervey Bay blitz by pushbike - and a fantastic way to see the bay!

Found at 1350. Another nice quick find. Thanks The Crumpies.

Easy find right along the line.

Backpackers indeed... well I always am when I come here. Not many around this morning thank goodness. Cheers from Sydney.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Hey guys, lid is cracked and water is getting in A little damp. Needs a bit of love!

Nice area. Never been to this area of the bay... Cache needs maintenance as log is wet.

A flying solo visit to Hervey Bay by Geodad for a Sunday job. Had to grab a couple while in town . Had no problem with this one , 7.30 am so only one dog walking muggle to contend with. after using my GPS as a mock phone I swooped in signed the log dropped in the King of Spades T.B. and was out of there.

Quick find in the rain at 1240. TNLNSL TFTC

Arrived at GZ around 10am and had to wait for a couple of walkers to move on. Then got the cache, sat down and signed the log, took King of Spades TB and replaced with good cover. TFTC The Crumpies

Found it - as the rain started we abandoned the bikes and jumped into the Jeep to find this one. Thanks

Found during our caching holiday in Aust. Easy find. TFTC.

Plenty of Muggles here!

Last cache before beddums. Found the hint in the dark, too. Great recreational resource along here. TFTC The Crumpies.

This is a nice spot to be on a stinking hot day. Dad now has the GPS down pat and actually beat the youngest one to the cashe this time. Much to his delight and kids disgust. We did this one after school...not a really good time...quite a few muggles. Thanks for the cashe.

A nice easy one in suburbia. My partner was well pleased as it is her first personal find. Took nothing, left keyring. Thanks for the cache.

Found it. T4TC.

The clue confused me for this one! I couldn't see what should have been very obvious landmarks anywhere here. So I sat down to consider...A ha! Solved. I had to wait for a bit for some particularly slow pedstrians to pass before retrieving the cache. Back to the trusty seat to sort out the log, and then off to the next cache.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,
best wishes,
Wal

Arrived at our backpacker hostel to find a cache only 100 metres away. How cool is that? Easy find, but the container’s lid is cracked and water had gotten in. Don’t know when, because it hasn’t rained in ages. Signed the dry log book – yahoo for zip lock bags. Tipped out the water and dried everything, but you need to get your Tupperware lady to replace this lid .

Found easily this morning. I love the railway themed mosaics with the seats along the ‘mobility corridor†TFTC

Found: Found hint after we found the cache. Did not see any trackables in the cache.

Nice easy find. Thanks for the lesson on the railway. We never knew it existed here TFTC TNLN

Thank you for this cache. Kalipi

Wells Inc - your Geocoin TB1MEFJ was not in the cache

Nice easy find and a great opportunity to introduce my 82 year old dad to geocaching! TFTC. TNLNSL

An interesting find. Couldn't locate the railway carriage at first. The muggles over the road seemed interested in our departure.

Took: Nothing

Thanks The Crumpies for the cache.

quick stop, nice place!

A quick deviation off the road home and this one was found nice and quickly. No muggles or trains today. Its always a shame to see old infastructure like railways lines dissappear. Would love to see the trains running through here. Somebody spent alot of time building that line one day.

TNLN - TFTC!!

6/10/09 1040 hrs - no 7 for the trip. Onto this one quickly, hubby is getting good... I may have him hooked! Interesting area and wonderful walking and cycling trails in abundance. Cache well hidden. TFTC

Found at 8.50am GAFF1. Our very first cache in Hervey Bay. Looking at this area now it is hard to think how it was when the trains were running.
Thanks Crumpies for the history.

Gotcha !! TNLN TFTC

Great find went looking today before heading back to ipswich. Took the travel bug, china coins and left a whistle key ring and a glitter glue.

Pretty

Took a seat while waiting for a few muggles to pass, but the actual find was straight forward. TFTC

took Cache Critter. TFTC

Here with Kotara Flying Bowlers, nice spot to sit and fill in the log, left Cache Critters GC & Mattara Bowls badge, TFTC!

Pretty easy to find, we are still wondering how muggles never discover this one... Got lost afterwards because we had no map of the city and all the streets looked the same for us

TFTC!

Phew! Had to wait for about 10 cyclists to pass before we could return the thing. Quite exposed here aren't you?

Found Ok

nice hide
like the cammo paint
it matched the surroundings

had to pause to replace it due to muggle flow
