Bundys Commute #6 Kabra, Queensland, Australia
By Bundyrumandcoke on 20-Aug-08. Waypoint GC1FDQE

Time to let this one go. Thanks to everyone who sought and found it.

Cheers

Bundy

This one appears to be gone. Some works in the garden may have uncovered the cache. I have to decide whether to replace this one.

Cheers

Bundy

searched and searched, there is very definitely new gardening features at GZ... maybe cache has been removed? whatever it beat me today
thank you Bundyrumandcoke for the cache, I'd not have known about the marker otherwise.

Here from Canada, caching our way across Australia....

Had a good look for this one but unfortuately came up empty handed.

Thanks anyways Bundyrumandcoke

Took abit of looking but found it eventually. Gardening works in the area were a bit of a concern as we thought the cache may have been disturbed. Got it though.

Was abit worried after looking around for awhile with no joy. Thought maybe recent landscaping had messed with the cache but just as we were about to abandon our search there it was. right where it should of been! Muggle lady over the road was hovering, was half expecting the friendly nrighbourhood policeman to turn up and investigate. Wonder if after she went inside she was peering though the curtains! Signed log and high tailed it out of there! TFTC.

this is a sad day for us and the dairy industry as we close the dairy and sell off all the cows( at least they all found a new home)
found this cache after the sale
thanks bundy easy find

Cache Raid to Rockhampton with Gunnie69..

Numbers are the name of the game & so we came to partake of the caches in the area

Sometimes the GPS logic defies description - travelled the long way to this but managed a quick bite of breakfast on the way under the arches

I work better with the correct caffeine to red blood cell ration...

Soon had cache out & log signed

Next one...

TNLNSL

Thanks Bundyrumandcoke

The SatNav really took Kaisho53 and I around the long way to this one. After visiting the nearby Golden Arches for breakfast, we were taken back along the main road, only to hook a sharp left and come up within 300-400 metres of where we just were... Grr...

Once in location though, the cache was located quickly in a likely place and we made good use of the wall for the business end of things... All done, we spotted another icon not too far away and headed off... [^]

Cheers Bundyrumandcoke.

Found together with imh on our tour from Emu Park to Alpha.

I tried to find this cache earlier in the year without luck. So, I'm in town for the GCQ events and tried again, successfully this time . TFTC Bundyrumandcoke.

Found quickly together with Lady-in-black!
Greetings from Downunder-Gemany!

Able to disappear to Central QLD for family visit over a couple days ... and able to sneak out for a little geo-therapy. A celebratory family dinner in Gracemere finally brings me to this part of the world. A quick drive-by and onward we trundled.

Thanks for placing this cache, Bundyrumandcoke. Found in good condition.

{Overall find #1559}

9416 kms travelled in 21 days, one awesome eclipse observed near Mt Carbine in Northern Queensland and 712 cache finds, including a small handle of FTF's.

This was a trip I'd been planning for over 12 months with the main reason being to observe the solar eclipse on the morning of the 14th of November. I had decided to drive to Palm Cove and back, where my penthouse accommodation was located, while the rest of the family flew up and back. I love the drive and the unknown adventures that lay ahead; and I even think the last time I did one this big may have been for the previous eclipse in Australia which occurred over SA.

Apart from the great experiences, awesome scenery, and the characters met, the other reason to drive was to also do some serious caching, with the plan to stop at some power trails along the way including the Fruit Run and A.S. series near Stanthorpe on the way up and the Mid North Coast Wander series, just out of Port Macquarie, on the way back.

I had five days to travel each way with ten days in between spent in Palm Cove holidaying with my family. My route up took me from Melbourne to Tocumwal and up to Glenn Innes, through Toowoomba, Rockhampton and the coast road to Cairns while my route back was a bit more erratic. Heading from Cairns to Townsville then via Charters Towers to Rockhampton. From here it was through the amazing mining region to Roma then across to Dalby down through Stanthorpe (again) to Armidale, Port Macquarie, Wagga Wagga, Tocumwal and then home - phew.

After staying the night in Goomeri I cached my way along the Leichhardt Hwy to the Capricorn Hwy and in to Rockhampton where I arrived around 7:30 pm and stayed the night in some proper accommodation (as opposed to the back on the Prado). This was my last cache for the day / night before retiring to my accommodation with some Maccas, bourbon and the laptop. I parked right near GZ, waited for some cars to pass and soon located the hide. Thanks BRAC.

1515hrs. Going to be a late lunch and camp setup at this rate of caching. TFTCSL

Last caches for today after we visited our old friend who lives there. Tomorrow we will leave for down coast.
Found it
Thanks Bundyrumandcoke

Well hidden. TFTC

A gorgeous day to be out caching. A great way to have a look around Rockhampton and surrounds. Took trackable.
Thanks to Bundyrumandcoke.

Inside of cache was wet with damp log but was still able to sign Pencil was broken you will need to BYO Pencil. Left TB erik88L-R Geocoin "JEEP" TFTC

Furthest north cache we have found in the south temperate zone. Dropped off Geocoin TB TFTC

Easy find amongst the mulch. Logged & onto the next commute.
TFTC

Checked thru the mulch without luck. Maybe I didn't check deep enough based on the last log.

This one had become truly buried since the last find and has been adopted by a nest of very persistent ants. Contents are quite wet - needs a maintenance visit to dry it out TFTC.

Our very first geocaching experience! Thanks!

Lots of ants - found in the company of JB (deadly muso) - thanks for the cache

TFTC Found it when visting.

TFTC. Left alvin

Tftc. Found while visiting from Tassie!

After a big day geocaching yesterday the geokids were keen to go again, this time I opted for one a little closer to home! After a dig through quite thick leaf litter and what seemed like a billion ants GC was found
Took: Lookin' Gourd Coin
Left: Rubber snake and a few novelty erasers. TFTC

A quick find
TFTC

A nice simple find today on a quiet afternoon. I guess others of these signs attract more tourists. Everything seemed in fairly good shape, though has obviously been damp in the past. Left a coin from Sydney. Thanks Bundyrumandcoke.

Found quite wet inside after the recent rain. No chance of drying it out today I'm sorry. Might need to keep a watch on this one as the garden is literally washing away. I don't suppose local council are any faster than our own back home but it will be re mulched one day.

We enjoyed visiting this plaque. Thanks for bringing us here. After missing out on the cache at the Rockhampton plaque it was good to have a second chance.
TFTC

Found on a bright sunny day. The hound also found the remains of the old Cache that was replaced in 2009 it was near the other rock open and contents scattered and wet from a sprinkler we dried the container put a dry new log in a bag and returned the cache to its hiding place. We then found the new cache. TFTC Bundy.

Very easy find and was almost visable without looking but we fixed it after the discovery, TFTC Bundy....Hooroo

Final cache for out trip to the Rockhampton area. The cache was quiclky located on the way back to Mrs Shifter's brothers place for the last night in the area.
Thanks for the series Bundy (we will be back one day to complete it).

I started the commute series backwards, so this was the 1st stop.
Took a photo too, as this is the highest north that we have been in Oz.
Thanks for bringing us here Bundy,
Roostaman.

Found at 11.05 July 9. Thanks for the location.

Paper is getting damp probably from irrigation sprays or perhaps just condensation.

An easy find - the cache was uncovered. Now hidden a little better. TFTC

11th for the day. Even on a public holiday, it is still a busy place for muggles in cars. Log book was a little bit damp.
TFTC

Found it on our trip to Gladstone for the Ulysses Club Odyssey, on a very cold day. The Reluctant Companion was interested in the history provided with this cache and we thoroughly enjoyed it. TNLN TFTC.

On our way to Yeppoon...took us a while before Ms Bushies2 found it. Thanks Bundyrumandcoke.

Nice easy find first thing in the morning. Cheers Gav [8444]

Another commute cache - TFTC

Quick find on the way home from Gladstone.

Nice easy one to build up the numbers. Log book wet.

Easy find was a little wet so dryer it out a bit.

Brahms6 found this one. Braved the flood waters to travel out to Gracemere for a last couple of caches before heading back to Cairns.

Found this one with a little digging. The cache is a bit damp, dried it out but the log could do with an airing.

TFTC

Decided to pop out from Rockhampton for a couple of caches and this was the first. Am hoping to get the rest of these before too long.

Found at 2:30pm after a short detour from our rockhampton accommodation.
Kids found it quickly.

I started this series about a year ago, it's nice to be in the tropics again, hope to get it finished this time.

TFTC

A quick find in between muggles driving by. Pretty warm in the afternoon but getting cold in my camp - gotta love Next G. Thanks.

Good hide, knew exactly where to look, thanks Bundy

Easy to find, lots of fun

Plenty of cars parked nearby, but luckily there were only a few muggles in sight so I made it a fast grab.

Eatmorchikin the engineer enjoyed being in this location however was most upset the line didn't go east west! Quick find and then back in the car and on our way to have some lunch.TFTC....eatmorchikin & Stigglepot, Brisbane

On a drive from Rocky to Emerald stopped by to do a spot of caching. Thanks Bundyrumandcoke.

We know now how Bundy hides his caches, so this one was easy. TFTC.
Team Blitar

Found nice and easy. TNLNSL TFTC

Our 50th cache find. Found the wall easliy enough. It was late afternoon on the 23rd September so there was no one around. We're starting to get to know how Bundy hides caches so this was an easy find. Thanks again Bundy.

Another easy one to find, Thank You

Crikey !! Another Capricorn monument [:o]
But wait this isn't right, it almost is right
Certainly not the grandest momument to a line in the area, but the most accurate.

Why am I still commuting ?
I assumed I had reached the end of the line a couple of days ago

TFTC.

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.3. Thanks for replacing this one, much easier to find when it is there. Thanks.

found straight away at 1740, nice and easy, i like bundy caches.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 23° 26.372 E 150° 27.452
Distance From Old: 8.2 feet
A slight change of position, hopefully it wont go missing again.

Cheers
Bundy

Up and running again after replacement and a slight move.

Cheers
Bundy

Looks like this one has gone. A replacement will be organised shortly. New placement will be slightly moved to hopefully make it harder to accidently discover, but make it easier for cachers to retrieve.

Cheers
Bundy

I will have a look at this one on the way back to work, in a couple of days time.

Cheers
Bundy

The gardener appears to have been very busy around the location of the cache. Has is gone amiss ?

Greynomads

Had a good look but no luck, worried about muggles!. lots of new grass cuttings everywhere. Maybe better luck next time!
Wobbly45 & family

Another DNF to report, I was suspicious about the gardening activity too. Thanks. Albida.

I didn't get to have a good look here due to people so headed off to #5.Returned a bit later but still to many people to have a proper look.Oh well, I'll try again another day.Cheers.

Found it as last and lucky no muggles here.Thank you for team Bundys organising the cache and hunt also clue.

T.F.T.C

i enjoyed looking for it. TFTC

My commute home passes some of your hides. TFTC

10:30 After returning 3 times today to find it when muggles not around , traffic was banked up due to road works controllers at am peak hour road marking, sounds like typical council operation, any way found it so thats another down for this trip north. TFTC-Bundyrumandcoke.

Stopped by on the way back to work for a check up. Cache is exactly where it is supposed to be. Dropped in a travel bug that is heading up north in a race.

Cheers
Bundy

Can't find the cache bloody 15 mins look around over the wall and must be muggles or gardener take it.I gave up till someone will find it if still missing the cache or still here.I will check on computer later.

Thanks

Nicely camouflaged. Thanks!

Always fun to do a series as you drive along. Many thanks

Found it No. 909 ... had to step over the line to get this one

Found the cache at 2.25pm. Ready for next #7. Thanks Bundy For organising the cache and hunt.

The local cyclists were assembling across the road as I started my search early this morning. Needed the hint as my GPS had me at the other end of the wall. TFTC

Second latitude we could not find

Found it, log it & returned it
TFTC
Cheers
CamHelen

Back again today and found it quickly and easily.

Dooghan

Easy Find, a few muggles around but managed to snatch the prize in a quite moment.


DaBuzzard

Muggles around and I don't do stealth well. Left for another day.

Dooghan

Found at 5:10pm whilst waiting for 6:00pm appointment at the Gracemere Hotel for tea. The hotel has certainly improved and is fantastic now! Food was great and cheap too.

Thanks,

Had an appointment in Rocky and a bit of spare time on the way home so decided to get a few clues for Bundy's latest. Nice and easy. TFTC. TNLN.
