Hi BakerStreetCrew,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Ministro - Matt

T-Tech and I are staying with Brother Colin in Toowoomba for the weekend, and today's plan is to attempt all of the SSE caches in one day, as well as get 120 finds in one day. Happily all was achieved.

Time for a detour out to Mount Tyson to grab the three caches. GZ was so obvious as we arrived, but the container is nicely hidden. TFTC, Baker Street Crew.

As part of finding all the SSE caches today IolantheK and I also added a number of other caches so that
the total today was 120Big Grin
I think that we may be the first to log visit all the SSE caches and log them in one day [?]
IolantheK did a lot of planing working out the most efficient route and this aided in getting us through the collecting without a lot of doubling back over our tracks (Note my logging order doesn't reflect this, I've done the logging in SSE order).

The roads couldn't have been better, the dirt roads had had enough rain to virtually eliminate the dust without making the surface muddy or slippery [^]
Nice easy find [^]
TFTC BakerStreetCrew Cool

'Invited' by the bosses to a workshop nearby at least there was a cache to find and sign. On an early morning stroll before breakfast, more workshopping, lunch, car, train and plane back to Townsville. It is going to be a long day so thanks for starting it with a cache Baker Street Crew

Having successfully completed our nearby SSE missions it was time to focus on the 'locals'! Smile

A nice quick find for here.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
I can't believe we are at the very end of an isolated country road & a muggle drive's up just as we are standing here looking like we're about to take a 'wee' break! LOL ...

Heading north for the Alice Springs Event at Easter we explored this area using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Continuing our little drive through the country today, and we came past this cache - all good here. Seems the ants must have moved out and log was nice and dry.
Beautiful countryside around here - lovely views and a fabulous day out!

Found with Tassiegirl13.
Old Mate farmer was coming out of his driveway opposite just as we arrived so we continued down to the corner and took a few photos while waiting for him to leave.
Once he headed into town we parked beside GZ and quickly had the log duties done.

Had a wedding at the nearby station (great rustic venue, by the way), so thought I'd do a little caching on the way home. Found the cache without too much problem, but so had a nest of ants (should have read the logs beforehand!). I tried to clear as many as I could out in the little time I had with my almost-three-year-old waiting in the car, but in the end the child won and I had to leave this one, knowing that it was found but unsigned Sad
 
10-Jun-13
Nice quick find and yes the ants where still there.. TFTF
 
28-Apr-13
A great diversion out into the countryside [^]
And opposite the gate I found me a cache Big Grin
What a delightful gateway though Smile

We stopped here on our way home after completing the Farm Run Caches on the other side of Pitsworth. The ants that previous finders have cleared out have moved back into the container. Cheers.

21-Jul-12
You know you are heading out of the city when your car is suddenly t-boned by a large tumbleweed. Ahh rural areas Big Grin

I pulled up at this one and started the search. I found it after a little while. It was in good condition. The baggy had disentegrated - so I gave it a newer, smaller one. Otherwise it was a-okay. A great bit of land out out here - thank you for putting it in a non-muggle prone place. TFTC BakerStreetCrew Smile

The ants have taken over again, cleaned them out. Great hide should never get wet. TFTC.
 
09-Oct-11
Good one. Once again ants had made the cache their home. Only I didn't find this out until I handed the cache to a GeoKid for inspection. Said child was still in the car. Nevermind, at least they weren't bull ants. Cleaned out container thoroughly, signed and replaced log. TFTC.

Found after a short search, shame these county areas are attracting so many micros as the areas are very interesting. Also, would this not be considered Private property?
 
14-May-11
Found this one with Muddtrax. Nice dry clever hide. TFTC SL
 
14-May-11
Nice hide. Found with Krossbo. Had to clear out the ants & their eggs Sad They obviously thought this cache would be a nice dry residence. Gave the log book a new baggie. TFTC!!

Our first cache in over a month, have been foiled by the weather for the last couple of weekends but decided to brave today regardless. We were both having a few withdrawrals and this one was a great way "To get the monkey off our backs"
Interesting little monument across the way.
