Due to the fact that people are having so much trouble finding this one of late, I will look to hide something different here in the near future.
Did not find. Not sure if it is at the location anymore. Has been construction works near the area within the last year could possibly gone

Yeah I know ... Parked on the wrong side of the road, but it wasn't THAT busy, and its just me and it's a cache, and well, too late for excuses, cache signed, returned, not too suspiciously I hope, and safely back to geomobile. Moving right along.

Nice quick drive by today...
Just had to wait for breaks in traffic to make extraction & replace

Thanks Fuddley...

We arrived from the west and parked safely on the western side of the fence and wandered around to the busy side.

We found a fairly safe way to this cache, and made a quick find

Gaz'n'Kab, Captain Terror, and I found a nice good safe way to approach this one. We walked along picking our way until we got to GZ. We found the cache after a small hunt. TFTC Team Robins and Team Fuddley
Took a while to find the correct access and parking on the side of the Ring Road is a bit hairy. However, the risk taken, the cache was soon found.

Certainly exposed on this one, would love to know what people think as they fly past in their cars and trucks. Thanks Team Robbins and co.
Easy find on a cloudy Saturday arvo - although the clouds did clear up later . SL. TFTC
Mr Bushies2 went to hunt some caches further near Elliott this morning then he came home just after lunch...we went to find some caches around Bundaberg...Ms Bushies2 found it easily. Thanks Team Fuddley.
Sew a neat green from. whilst sear5ching the wrong side of the fence. Found it eventually.
This ended up being quite fun. First we got close, but not close enough, but did find a lovely green frog. Then walked around and had an easy find. Cheers Gav [8368]
Decided to have a quick look on the way home. Nice hide and Quick find thank goodness because I really needed a cuppa. Number 8 for the day
La Kedi really said it all. The nonexistence of the main road did make for some interesting navigational issues whilst we were in Bundy. The good thing that came out of this adventure was that a new car GPS was put on the shopping list though. TFTC
Ahh, yes, well, see La Kedi's log. It did help work off breakfast though I suppose. And quite an easy find . . . . once we got there. TFTC
Well, to be fair, it was relatively easy to find once we got ourselves to the right side of the fence! Our maps seem to be a bit outdated, so we took the more adventurous route involving a ditch, a drain, two fences and lots of long, wet grass. We got it, though! TFTC. =•,•=
We attempted this one with Troobloo in the dark but decided to come back during day light. A bit supprised on where this was and that it wouldn't be one we suggest that kids do due to the location. Quick find. SL Took Die Left Ball. T4TC
Good hide, alls well on diss side of defence.

First effort - wrong road.
Second effort - wrong side.
Third effort - cache!!!!
Yay - why take the easy way, when you can do it the hard way??

Like others I parked on the road with the fence between me and the cache,but a quick wander around the end and then down to the cache. Thanks for the cache and showing cachers something a little different.
Found on a good day caching in the area. Thanks to Team Robins and Team Fuddley for the cache. Ended up walking a short distance to the cache and felt exposed at GZ, but that's caching!
Pleased we parked in the side street for this one. The Ring road traffic is not for the faint hearted.
Thanks Team Robins & Team Fuddley
Thanks Team Robins & Team Fuddley
Which side? A quick read of previous logs gave me a hunch I'd come to the wrong conclusion. However, this was quickly rectified with a short walk and the cache was soon found.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,

Parking was at a premium today with everyone seeming to lob there at once - could be that we were caching in packs, still, a quick dash over & signing & back to the cars TFTC
Another one nabbed pretty easy, saw the likely spot from a little way off.
Actually it was a giveaway as the L&LJ's where just putting it back.

Did a bit of a cooks tour for this one as the satelite woman took us on a side road which had no access to GZ - finally we made it but almost run over in the rush by the 'group' as they pulled up. TFTC
Parking is a bit challenging at this GZ. Nevertheless, we managed to find a spot that was reasonably safe. TN/LN/SL and were returning to the van when Ghostgums, Bedmaker, pigwig2, agap2, Mr Fuddley and ozibags showed up. GZ was busier then the nearby road.
It wasn't the easiest place to park here and when everyone turned up at once in made it a little hard. Easy cache find which we signed and then moved on.
We found this cache on a run through the Bargara and Bundaberg area on the 10th Anniversary of geocaching.

Seemed the challenging part for this cache was parking four our little group today

The quandary of this one is which side of the fence to nowhere. Of course it was on the other side (Modelbear caching style). Quick find once you were on the correct side and just why doesn't that fence go somewhere? TFTC
Was a tad confused with this one. then decided OH just follow the gps. so i did and on the other side of the wall found myself with cache in hand right where the gps told me itd be. fancy that . TFTC
Good to see someone using the ring road. Broke up a boring day at work. TNLN TFC
I also was offence-challenged . Had to park the car and go for a walk on the other side. Found in good condition in it's hidey hole. SL. TFTC Teams Robins & Fuddley
Like every body else we ran into a wall, but we got around that problem. When we arrived at the geo sight there was nothing to be found, we started to think it had been muggled but noticed a suspicious object about 3 meters away on the ground. I put it back where it seemed the most likely spot.
Found at 0710. First my GPSr had me drive up one road and the sound barrier fence was in the way. Then I parked my car at the end of the barrier and followed the GPSr right to GZ. TFTC. There certainly is a lot of traffic on this new ring road at this time of the morning.
Found at 9.45am GAFF1. A tricky little spot to find a safe parking spot with the van on. We ended up touring the new estate and parking in the reserve adjacent to the road.
Thanks Team Robins.
Thanks Team Robins.
Grrrrr, DOH.
First, the Nuvi didnt like the new roads, and got confused. I took a punt and pulled over in a spot, only to see the icon too far away. Chucking a U turn, I then went cross country to access the other side. Then, I could not get close enough, the closest being about 25 metres. Obviously I was on the wrong side, again, but I parked anyhow, not bothering to retrace my travels, and walked to the cache. As it turns out, I was much closer originally.
Find number 16 for the trip to the Bundy event at 0830 hrs.
Cheers

Found it on our big trip around Australia. Thanks for all your aussie caches guys. MaJa
A good fun cache to find when you are in a hurry. Tia and Alex found this one in the dark with ease. Just have to watch the traffic, especially with a group of teenagers. Thanks for the cache.
Found easily this afternoon, nice walk along the new road. Lots of traffic at the time, cache spotted and logged. Thanks for the hunt. Left gold pirate coin, took nothing.
*FTF* at 6:40am, a bit scary in the half light and fog this morning Took GC Thanks TR.
