On such a beautiful day, it was a nice casual walk to GZ, where the cache was located safe and sound. I found it a little hard to remove the lid, but once the cache was opened up, I removed some of the old log paper, leaving behind enough paper for many more logs, but please, no long stories, just a date and name will suffice. This is a wonderful place to visit, so I do hope that future geocachers enjoy this one. As always though, take care in the area, and be aware that snakes may be living nearby as well.

2 finds in 1 day! With the trees its a healthy environment. However without trees it would be an epic view

Great easy find today! TFTC!

I love squeezing every last second out of public holidays which usually combine with RDO's at work. So, with a 4 day long weekend in the offing, a few weeks ago I reviewed my adventure wish list and decided that a solo hike of Carnarvon Gorge and specifically Battleship Spur would fit the bill.Viko Cz subsequently messaged me to say he was back in Australia for business for a few weeks and had some weekends free for a geocaching adventure, and was also keen to visit Carnarvon.On Anzac Day, we travelled from Roma to Carnarvon and hiked out to Big Bend, visiting as many of the side attractions as we had time for including Boolimba Bluff. On Friday, we climbed Battleship Spur in the morning and then spent a lazy day enjoying the gorge at Big Bend. Yesterday, we got an early start and hiked back down the gorge stopping at the Moss Garden along the way. After visiting Mickey's creek Gorge, we finally hit the road, stopping at the Rolleston pub for lunch, before collecting some caches around Moura and Theodore, before an interesting Saturday night at the Cracow pub.We are heading back to Brisbane today, stopping to collect interesting caches along the way. I used to spend a lot of time in these parts 20 years ago for business. A quick stop here - great opportunity to stretch the legs. RIP Sweetsour thanks for continuing this one YOF. Pete#7,885

#5741 [10:38] our extended weekend with crookedpete is ending, the main mission "exploring carnarvon gorge" is over and now we're heading back to brisbane via a bit of side road to enjoy more of local country side and more caches and this was one of them. thanks a lot of placing it here, it's always good to have some reason to stretch legs during long drive.

Heading back to BrisVegas after a whirlwind visit to Emerald. GreenGecko1 and I are collecting a couple of oldies and specific D/Ts. Cache in good condition.Coords were out but I wasnt going to be stumped today!

Thanks for this great experience just walked a good 5km to find this and it has made my day

Whilst on my way home from Monto, I decided to take a slight diversion and find the caches in this area.This cache was a quick and easy find.All is good with this cache.TFTC.

Was sitting out in the open so we hung it down again. Nice hide in a nice spot.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. [:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Weroamin [^]

Completing these for a challenge. Lots of nice camping areas around these parts. Going to be living and working in this area for the next 6 months. Nice rivers too.

Nice one thanks

I pulled off from Burnett Highway along Hebbards Road, and initially pulled over at Binjour Range Rest Area. I started to walk to GZ when I saw the track option, so reverted back to the Prado, and then drove to GZ. The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook is starting to look tattery. I liked that the container had holes in the bottom to allow draining of any water that ingresses. Thanks weroamin for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This 1.5 week trip, the purpose was the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster (QOGM) in Longreach, with its aim to encourage tourism and support in rural towns. Departing from Brisbane on Friday 15/09/2023, I travelled solo taking the northern route through Gayndah, Emerald and Jericho on my way to the event, and then returned through Blackall, Morven, St George, Goondiwindi, and Toowoomba arriving back on Monday 25/09/2023.My Longreach highlights included the two QOGM muster/rally days visiting Muttaburra and Isisford; the Qantas Founders Museum; Stockmans Hall of Fame; Silver Tails Rail Sunset Tour; and the general historical town vibe. Other highlights to/from Longreach included climbing Mt Scoria; Barcaldine's Tree of Knowledge and kayaking in the water park; Blackall woolshed scour; and the smaller intriguing and historical towns that I passed through.During my travel days when I was time-poor, I targeted geocaches that were older in age, high D-T, puzzles/challenges, and rare cache types. In addition, I added 7-8 visited LGAs to my statistics.The scenery was memorable with picturesque sunsets, and a diversity of flora and fauna. There were plenty of kangaroos and wallabies, emus, goannas/lizards, brolgas, hawks, and alas wild hogs, and goats.Today, a full travel day was pencilled, driving from Gayndah to Emerald via Biloela.I started the day visiting the towns lookout before attending the local parkrun. Well and truly warmed up, I closed out my Gayndah visit with a drive up to the lookout and then visited the [Upside Down Bridge](https://coord.info/GC8ZMQ3) in the town across the river - an engineering masterpiece!I tend to be far too slow in my travel days morning, perhaps stopping at geocaches more than I should, although I enjoyed my visits to various towns. Perhaps at the hottest time of the day, I hurriedly hiked up Mt Scoria, and the basalt columns were impressive.I had lunch in Biloela and completed the [Biloela My Home Town](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/af82ce36-2dcf-4ff3-ab59-75a503cad4f2) Adventure Lab, and then I decided to take fewer stops to then arrive in Emerald just as the light was fading. Post dinner, I tried to find a few more town geocaches, visiting the botanic gardens to the south, and more of the Emerald cotton geoart.

Found today, a great view on a sunny day

On a 2 week motorhome meander of the area & finding caches along the way. If course we managed to drop this & had a struggle to retrieve it but all ended well and it is back in place. TFTC

Day 10 and the final day of the CQ reflection Tour for ruzzelz. Now travelling solo and after a day riding the BBIRT tunnels section yesterday I am now heading south from Monto. I've never seen the country so lush and green for the entire distance.

An old school hide. Great views and some history in the old road alignment.

All good thanks 1564

Brilliant camo. Never would have found without the clue. Now to reverse out of here......

Woop

Found it. TFTC

Found and log signed though it is getting a bit tattered. No fresh supplies on hand, Should have made our overnight stop here instead of at Mundubbera as much more level places to park. TFTC

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
It took me two looks to see it. Logs all in good condition.

Nice little leg stretch on our way to Gayndah as we road trip back roads we haven't travelled before. Great little hide. Tftc

Easy find. Thanks for the Cache.

Yes! Our first find

A nice little rest stop and after having a chat to a couple camping here we set off down the trail. Spotted the prime spot for a cache and low and behold there was the cache - well hidden.

Thanks weroamin for the cache.
Found at 1:29 pm on 15/1/22.
Find # 2380

Nice Camo.Tether is not attached to anything.
Quick find.

Find# 6554. Picked up on the way to Carnavon Gorge and QOGM 2021 Event in Cunnamulla.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here weroamin.

Whirlwind trip around to grab a few LGA's, AL WP's and out of the way oldies before heading out to QOGM next week. I think we have shares in BP but seeing several little places for the first time is quite rewarding and most enjoyable.
Nice quick find here, well done CO.

TFTC weroamin

Thanks for a great find, kids loved it

slept hereLooking for something to fill in time whilst not studying, it was suggested that I finally get around to logging THOSE caches long found but never logged. Some even have funny stories of being visited not only once or twice, but a few even have had a third or fourth visit before realising I've been there and done that. The date is as near to the correct day the cache was found.So, sorry for the generic and late log.JABs.The full story can be found here https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=c74de4cf-b59f-4ee4-9b5a-63ff0fc061ea

After camping overnight in Kilkivan I headed north today and stopped to grab some caches allong the way. No problems finding the caches and once the logs were signed all were returned as found.

If a cache needed attention that was done too.

Thanks to the CO's for placing these cache for me and others to find.

An overnight journey with Fangsoki and Captain Terror to West Eidsvold picking up a few caches along the way to our final destination to camp the night in Auburn. Both Fangsoki and Captain Terror had done this one, so I headed on down alone while they waited in the Canyonero. A quick find, and I couldn’t resist grabbing that bull that was in the cache by the horns.
Thanks for the cache weroamin.

Tftc great little spot to stop

Quick find a done great views. Tftc

A few years later I am back to collect the other cache here.
Short walk to get the legs working again.


Thank you for this cache

Had a nice stroll down from parking to GZ. I enjoyed the sounds of nature and the view of the ranges. Very clever hide. Tftc

We were tripping around the area and dove from Mt Perry to Gayndah to Mundubbera and back again and on to Biggenden. I found Binjour Range cache and then noticed there was another one close by, so it had to be found.

Hi there weroamin. Today was a driving day, but a relaxed day was intended with slow driving and not a great distance planned. We had intended to stop in Gayndah but passed through and stopped overnight at the Binjour Range Camp Area. Geocaching along the way was a prime task and a handful of caches were found. This cache was a quick find after camping nearby overnight and the container and the log are dry and quite useable. SL, TN, LN. Thanks to weroamin for this cache - our find #6765.

Another easy cache soon in the hand. Tftc

Called in today and checked this cache. All good to find; enjoy the views.

Qk - Queensland's oldest thousand (k) active caches - it's a thing. Crew153, Fangsoki and I were passing by so made the stop for a little leg stretch - and a quick find here.
Thanks weroamin for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #6448}*

On a weekend road trip with Pprime and Fangsoki and we were driving past the area on the way home and this one was on the list to find because of it's age.

Fangsoki had found it previously and he let Pprime and I head down from the parking spot. I looked in the correct spot but it was Pprime who did the extraction.

TB dip with Pprime and Crew 153.

This is the last day of a 14 day trip out to Barcaldine for the QOGM Event and on the way back to Brisbane. Found many caches and appreciate all CO's who placed them in their locations. Cache found and log signed. TFTC

Day 15 of our road trip to the QOGM and return and today we head off from Mundubbera for Brisbane via Gympie. Thank you so much to all the COs who have placed caches along the highways and byways that we will travel over in the fourteen days we are away. Without your caches we would not see and/or learn about your local area.

Nice little walk to find the cache. Great views!

Yes

Found - great clue and nice little walk.

Yes this is a great little rest area. We pulled in here for a break and a bite to eat and grabbed the caches here as well. Very clean facilities.
A lovely short walk to the cache.
All is well with the cache.
Thanks Weroamin.

Geokids had the instincts for this one! One says 'it was in a good place, this one'. Thanks for the cache, some cute swaps in here, we may be back

Found - great little stop over on our travels!

Great little cache at this quiet stop. TFTC

#105 And #2 for the day and the year. We've driven past this spot heaps of times butt never stopped til today. Good hide.
Left a dinosaur sticker.

This was a little bit tricky, but found with the clue. T4T $

Great hide, enjoyed the walk.

As my poor bf finished his last day at work I'm merrily making my way north to catch up with all the rellies.

All the years I've been driving this back road yet never known there was a rest spot. And such a pretty view. Thanks for the list.

My gps didn't settle very well on this one so it took the clue and returning to the same spot a couple times to find it. I thought for a while the cache was missing due to enclosure being used as a rubbish bin. Once I changed sides and my eyes adjusted to the dark it was a quick find however. It did have to be there after all. I'd already checked out every nearby location, disturbing spiders and sliding down hills as I did so.

Cache is in good condition. I've left a crocodile keyring for the next person. Have a lovely Christmas. tftc

Had to use the facilities so grabbed the caches in the area.tftc

Great cache and hide

Nice spot, I liked the little walk away from the vans parked up for the night.

Love it! Awesome cache, fun track too!

Drove down to within a couple of meters of GZ and it was the first place I looked - a nice easy find. TFTC weroamin

I decided to pull over for this cache while heading west for the day.

I went past where the GPSr was pointing and drove up to the rest area. Despite there being clear signs about no camping - there was of course the token grey nomad who decided by-laws were not for him

I parked up and made my way down toward GZ. Some nice views to be had from here indeed. My GPSr told me to stop and I soon found a well-hidden cache. I signed the log. It looked like the pencil was dropped and not retrieved nearby. I collected the pencil and put it back in the cache and re-hid as found. It was in good condition otherwise.

A great excuse to stop and a nice place for a cache. TFTC weroamin

Nice little walk, at a lovely rest area. tftc. tnln

But due to a problem with the Geo Truck (Loss of brake lights) Required a quick detour to my local repair shop soon had the problem rectified ans was on my way again, Nice cache thanks for bringng me here

Thanks for the great cache and adventure weroamin

This Day in Music
2002, Darius was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Colourblind'. The third "Pop Idol" finalist to get a number one. He'd originally lost out on "Popstars", failing to get a place in the group Hear'Say, and then came third in "Pop Idol".

Another one at our overnight camp spot that we grabbed this morning before leaving. A quick find but not sure about the date Mr Beetle put in this one. Pretty sure he got it wrong! Thanks for the smiley and the great views.

And grabbed this as well. Tftc

Touring and grabbing smilies. Tftc
