Decided to try and look for this one today, unfortunately as with quite a few others this is a DNF for me. Has had quite a few DNF's a while ago, maybe CO could check.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there fulfilled71. We found your cache "Kirby's Wall" at 11:35:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11270.
[Blue]
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area today. We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our caravan park and then took a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Thanks great place. It took a while but I then found the black container I would say it was really fun for our first try

 
14-Jun-15
After a visit to the nearby 'factory', headed down here and grabbed this one. Neat hide and it blends it well. Missed it on the first sweep but all was good on a second look.

Thanks for the cache fulfilled71....

Good one for the kids

Beyond the black stump, well right in it really! Flat cat still apparent...

Good spot.
Great view of river.

Gre8t fined by "The Taylor's".
Dead fury things with bones was a little bit of a turn off!

Yay good cache watch your step the dead cat means your close! Found by Giovannoni's and thornes
 
08-Sep-14
Easy find....dead cat ruined the moment tho
 
30-Aug-14
In the twenty years I lived here I had never been to this spot. Cache retrieval made tricky by the presence of a dead cat.

Awful wind today! Quick find. Took TB.

TFTC - up for work loading sugar on a ship "New Everest" - also want to wish safe travels to our little friend Cooee Cobber (Travel Bug) we have had some fun times!

While travelling around with us Hubby had to go to work in Bundaberg, we'd been struggling to find GZ which will house Cooee Cobber safely for his next adventure. So He visited the "New Everest" Ship at the Bundaberg wharf while they loaded some Sugar bound for Indonesia. He was lucky enough to go on board and meet the Captain, as well as going onto the bridge and watch the load and look over the harbour.

We've had some fun times, spending a weekend at Seaworld, travelling on a train from Goodna to City and back again, fly to Melbourne and Sydney and now end up at Bundaberg for a nap till his next adventure.

Thank you for the experience we certainly have had fun. Have photos but have not figure out how we can load them.

A nice quick find – along a quiet road - TFTC / TFTH / SL
 
29-Jul-13
Found at 11:00 AM GAFF1. On our way to the head of the river and we wondered how this wall survived the massive floods? Maybe it was a bit higher [?]
Thanks fulfilled71.
 
14-Jul-13
Decided that we had better check out the river while passing through Bundaberg so grabbed a cache on it randomly and this was the one. Container smelt of fresh paint and was a quick find. Left a Beetles fridge magnet peg TN. Thanks.

will be replacing this as soon as the road is open
 
23-Feb-13
Have spoken to CO and been assured cache will be replaced so have removed my needs archived log
 
19-Feb-13
If these caches are not going to be replaced then they need to be archived so others can hide here if they choose
 
10-Feb-13
This cache has been washed away by the recent flooding... It will need to be replaced... May I suggest that if a cache is in an area where there is a risk of it floating away, consider securing it to its hiding spot to prevent it being washed into the sea and damaging marine life.

Cheers

Out and about on a day in Bundy by myself finding caches. Big Grin
I was able to park really close to this one. Smile

First one Ive found with The.Hitchies and it was not where I'd though it was. I may need to grow balls and get in the bush next time I dont know where one is.
 
19-May-12
Workin our way from Burnett Heads to Bundy this one was next on the radar. After following the road that had a million turns we made it to GZ. I wonder why they could just make the roads in a straight line around here [?] After reading the previous log we thought that we would be in for a bit of a bush-bash Surprised Luckily it was not the case. The two kids were sleeping in the car and we dare not wake them [|)]

Jase jumped out and grabbed the cache with no trouble, added our name and we were on our way to Bundy Smile Thanks for yet another cache phillipsart Big Grin

This find was one
That
Required a bit of creative thinking to access ground zero.
Of course once across I was inundated with flies in unbelievable numbers. At ground zero it was even worse. I had to use the paddle to move a plastic bag out of my way at which point I discovered the "why" the flies!! The bag was chuck full of prawn carcasses!!! The smell was impressive!!!

Ok, no problems with this one, in fact almost managed it without getting out of the car - but no quite. For once a phillipsart one that didn't elude me. Nicely done.

I love the river, and the morning sun on it was spectacular today. Didn't know what the wall was all about until we got here, and that's pretty interesting. A few fisher people out and about, but peacefully quiet today. Cheers.

As the Fangsoki geomobile filled with myself and Gaz'n'Kab rolled towards this one, visibility dropped to only about 10metres due to very thick fog. Mysterious voices and chinking from a nearby party could be heard, but we could barely see each other let alone muggles see us. Cache was soon located under a very drippy tree. I'm sure there is normally a lot to see at this cache, but was well hidden tonight. Made for great lightsaber pretending with torch beams in the fog though Razz TFTC.
 
17-Sep-11
Well the fog was certainly getting thick now, and we quickly located the cache Big Grin

We trotted onto this one next. There was some thick fog happening and we could hear some kind of party nearby. Thankfully it was all quiet at GZ. We found the cache after a small hunt. Of course, we all forgot a pen, but the cache owner had kindly supplied a ready pencil. TFTC phillipsart Smile

Easy find as the cache was exposed. Added a bit of local camouflage so that it is better hidden.

A pleasant find today. Lots of fishermuggles at the wall and surrounds, but no one to worry us at GZ. Parked nearby and had the cache in hand soon after. TN/LN/SL.
 
Found easily despite all the fishermen and families having a picnic nearby. TFTC

Black Team from PCYC Blazers found this cache hidden in what looked like a crime scene! Knife, clothing and a suspect bag, what a great idea to visit this cache at night time Surprised. We had fun looking for the cache and found it easily enough. This was Summer's second cache found, Go the Girls team!
