Found the cone no cache though

Spent 20 searching in the rain and couldnt find anything.

Couldn't find it. Missing?

Revisiting this cache with family.Found it ok. Watch out for the ants. TFTC.

Found yesterday! Second attempt! Clever grandson found it!

Found with bub and jamesy. Great one!!

Found by Mary and David at 09:15. Slowly heading home after the last QOGM at Longreach. Our thanks to Bundyrumandcoke.

Found It!A nice little detour off the highway and a quick find here! Didn't see any ducks.TFTC

No ducks but the cones of silence present and accounted for.

Very over grown but found it

Nice hide. Cache more like a micro. Easy find. Cow on the loose and frog right where the cache is. TFTC.

Couldn’t find it!

I had hoped to grab this cache on my way past many years ago but the floodwaters at the time meant that there was no access to the area, took the time on this trip to call in and put my name in the log, thanks for placing and

After a quick trip to Brisbane, we are making a slower trip home and caching along the way. This was our last find on day 3 of our northbound trip.

Staying near Rocky for a few days, after another trip into town for errands we decided to try to clear the caches on the southside.

I can honestly say we wouldn’t have taken this road if it wasn’t for the cache !

Great mountain and fun tree views.

Good place tfth

We were heading to Yeppoon for a week of caching for a number of special caches that we were targeting as part of the YEP23 group/ I had searched the spot where the cache was eventually found and it was 1MinnieMoo who did a more thorough search and found it.

Definitely come of silence! Thank you

Day two of our Easter Holiday trip, and we were starting the day by heading from Maryborough to Hervey Bay to grab a few particular caches in our list before continuing our journey to Rockhampton and finally stopping at our week’s destination in Yeppoon.
My final cache for the day. We hopped out and wandered over to begin our search. First passing and we missed the cache. But I kept coming back to the same spot, and a bit more thorough looking revealed the tiny cache. Log signed as Yep23 for the group of us to save logbook space and time.
Thanks for the cache Bundyrumandcoke.

Really cool area but it was so overgrown we weren't game to go in the gates and look. Thanks for showing us an area we hadn't been before and for the information and history.

No luck here today but replaced with CO's permission. Lovely area and a great place to have a break. TFTC.

I looked for a while.

Couldn't find it, disappointing as it was our first!

Cool location and is near a dead end road

Found it! Yayyyy. Thx

Definitely

Found, nice area.

Out with the geofamily. Mozzie were thick, wanted to explore more, but fled with the geo kids and geo hound back to the geomobile. Tftc.

Found it!! Take Mozzie spray

Couldn't do it without the hint.
Then I felt silly

nfortunately Diane had to work today but it's a necessary evil if we want to keep the holiday going and she didn't want me under her feet so there was one way to solve that and that was to go out and find a few caches.

We came in along the old Bruce Hay which certainly hasn't seen much repair work since it was abandoned Happily the first gate was open so I could drive closer to gz and the other gates had walking entrances so it appears that you are allowed to go through there.
We love the reference to Maxwell Smart which made locating the cache quite quick and everything inside was nice and dry.
After adding our name to the log and returning everything we headed over to read a little bit about duck ponds but unfortunately the sign has also suffered a lot of sun damage and neglect and was very hard to read.

Thanks Bundyrumandcoke for another cache hide.

Many thanks Bundyrumandcoke for the cache.

Nice find! A new favourite spot for my partner and I to look for wildlife! Tftc

Fun easy

We where up the road doing another cache, notice this was on our way back to Rocky where we re staying in the van.. nice and quiet here.. tftc

I SWAM FROM FUCKING KANSAS TO HERE, YOUR FILTHY RAT ASS THOUGHT YOU COULD HIDE THESE LITTLE PIECE OF SHITS FROM ME?!?!?!

Great cache! Hint helped a lot. TFTC!

Pretty spot

Ok

Easy find. Thanks for the Cache.

Nice necklace

This was my first geocache experience I will be continuing geocaching

Found it

Found it

As others have noted it’s a shame about the rubbish here. The ducks and bin chickens don’t seem to mind though!
A short walk from where we parked the car and then we were soon signing the log. A straight forward find.

Day 1 in Rockhampton we decided to work on the other side of the river to our caravan park as on a Sunday it may be a bit quieter and more conducive to searching. We had a few pre-solved puzzles to try and finish too. It was a bit of a mixed bag with a few DNFs and a couple of others that had significant DNFs already on them.
The visit to the botanical gardens was a bonus.
Thanks to all the local COs for their work in developing and maintaining the caches for us to search for.

TFTC great hidey hole

Cheers. Quick find

Quick find

Loads of fun

Wasn’t too sure about the hint. Until we came to gz

Nice easy find. Peaceful area

Good hiding spot

Found it with pippahicup

Great hide! An easy find - nice little spot. Pity the area doesn't appear to be maintained anymore. Thanks for taking us there!

Cache #2 for the day.
While staying with family in Bouldercombe, I thought I would help the learner driver teen get a bit more time up on his driving log and explore some areas around Rocky.
We arrived at this cache quickly and made an easy discovery.
Log signed, swag dropped and placed back in it's spot.

#11 for the day and our total to date. I work very close to cache and never knew it was here. TFTC

Good to be where there is no-one else sometimes
Stayed a bit after the find to have a look around
All good here Tftc

A Beautiful quiet place. Traded a treasure. Thanks for the hint as it was hot out this morning.

TFTF. Founds with McElliots. Signed as McKenzie family.

A slight detour on my trip back to Brisbane brought me here today. Nice and peaceful here and a few ducks around this morning. Tftc

An interesting location. Very dry at the moment. Thanks for showing us this place and for the cache.

Grey nomads travelling around Australia in our caravan. Held up a bit due to Covid19 and major knee surgery, so currently in Queensland only, but there are plenty of caches in our home state that we have not yet found.

Currently, we are farm sitting near Rockhampton for three months, so hoping to clear out Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gracemere, Gladstone and Mt Morgan!!!

Been to the markets in town, but left early. Caching is more fun!

Park as close as we could, and after a short walk it was an easy find. Thanks Bundyrumandcoke for the hide

That was cool

Easy find

Found it

TFTCRoad is now closed but cache still accessible.

Greetings from Brisbane. My husband and I came up here for the weekend and what a great weekend it was. Just had time for one more cache before going home. I loved the hint for this one. Reminded me of Maxwell smart and the chief with their cone of silence. I used the hint for a quickish find.interesing spot. Thanks for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy.

Quick find. Great spot

Found nice area

Nice spot for this geocache

A nice walk into an area I had not been. Discovered the ponds and a cache. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks bundyrumandcoke. All good with this cache.

An easy find thanks to the hint. We didn’t take anything but did leave a sticker. TFTH.

Didn’t know those duck ponds existed - yes don’t let the gates stop you

Easy find, clue does the job

Feeling fenced in great hide

Great hide. Thanks

Tricky hide. TFTC

Great place to hide it. Don’t let the gates hold you back. Clue gave it away.

Was tricky but the kids had fun for their first cache. Thanks
