decided not to stop with all the past DNF's, too much traffic today
 
02-Jul-20
DNF too dangerous to pull over. Agree with last person new guard rail and probably gone.

If it was in the guard rail I think the end of the guard rail has been recently replaced, could not find

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching. Pulled up at GZ and soon had the likely spot sussed. Signed the log then spent a few minutes watching a coal train being loaded from the conveyor up the road. Where does all that coal go? Thanks for placing this cache. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.
 
25-Apr-19
Day 3 of my 4 day trip from Mackay to Emerald and Rockhampton.

Pulled up and not a car or truck to be seen.
Signed log and replaced, turned around and it looked like all of Queensland was bearing down on me.
Things change so quickly when you aren't watching.

Thanks to all the CO's for placing all these GC's.

Anzac day.
We will remember them.
 
25-Mar-19
Out and about with The Drovers picking up some caches and this was one of them.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Travelling from Emerald to Agnes Water finding a few caches on route. Think GZ must have changed because we didn't see any no parking signs, nice easy find - all good with the cache. TFTC Bundyrumandcoke Smile

Would never have expected a cache here, makes you wonder how many I have passed on my long travels to & from work. TFTC

After attending the QOGM Event at Barcaldine, we were on our way back to Brisbane, howevr at the end of the day we were staying overnight in Emerald. Thank you to all the CO's who have placed caches in locations which I would probably not have visited. Enjoyed finding these caches. TFTC
 
04-Oct-18
Day 13 of our road trip to the QOGM and return and today we head off from Emerald to Biloela. 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.
 
24-Sep-18
Just in time to watch the train being loaded today. Took TB to move along. TFTC
 
23-Sep-18
I have been traveling a very zigzag route to QOGM in Barcaldine. I spent last night in Blackwater. After finding a nearby cache, I headed to this one. A quick find was made at GZ and my name added to the log. TFTC
 
22-Sep-18
Drove past this one and had to turn around with our caravans on and go back. Quick find on our way to QOGM with pprass and Wazza9. Signed log and replaced. Thanks to Bundyrumandcoke. We had been counting the the carriages and trying work out the lenght and total weight.
 
22-Sep-18
TFTC,
On our way west to the QOGM.
A long drive today as we take breaks to grab caches.
Took some time to watch a train load.
Visited trackables.
 
22-Sep-18
Found at 3:19 PM GAFF1in the company of nana nel and wazza9..
A massive over-run on this one. The GPSr wanted us to go down the road for another 20 kms and come back again!
A bit tricky to turn around a 15 metre rig in the middle of the highway without a semi collecting us, but we managed the feat and then found the cache quickly.
There was a lot of activity today with the coal wagons being filled by the overhead conveyor. We also saw quite a few long long trains along the way to here.
Thanks Bundyrumandcoke.

Have just spent a very relaxing week at Blackwater Weir but can't hide from life forever so back on the road I go. Typical place for a hide but an atypical container for this type of location.

Back in place. Now container, new location. I was going to archive this one, as I no longer live in the area, but will keep it active for interests sake, for the proximity to the coal loading facilities.

Cheers

On our way home now after being at the Alice Springs event, did not want to miss the opportunity to get a few caches along the way. This was one we targetted and found. Some very nice creative hides. Thanks to Bundyrumandcoke for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Big GrinBig Grin

After attending the Red Centre Experience event and spending a little time exploring some iconic locations in the Northern Territory, it was time to make a more or less express trip back home. Fortunately there were sufficient well placed caches at opportune spots to safely park and stretch our legs on our way home [^].

Now that we have had a small taste of what there is to offer in central and north-west Queensland, we will need to look at organising another trip sometime when we can spend more time to explore the area. We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the logbook, we continued on our long journey.

Thank you Bundyrumandcoke for having placed the cache for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy Cool

We were going to spend Australia Day on the Blackwater caches but I was stubborn and wouldn’t go until I’d decoded the mystery cache message. By then it was way too hot so we decided to wait. Spent this morning seeing how many we could find.. Found 7/8 that we looked for.
A bit off the beaten track but found it without too much trouble. Left a dinosaur sticker. TFTC.

Day 5 of my 2015 cache holiday and found 29 for the day with some walking involved but only drove 345 K's today. Did not plan on going into Rockhampton at all but I started looking at what I had inn my caching plan for today and just knew I would not make Biloela so started looking for motel accommodation but with a choice of Mt Morgan or Rocky due to the distance to each Rocky won out.
#2 of 29 not in any particular order and definitely not in order found.

Quick find. I replaced the log book with a new one in a new clip seal bag. TFTC Bundyrumandcoke

We were lucky enough to arrive here when a train was being loaded and we marvelled at the accurate matching of speed (s-l-o-w) to loading, and the way each wagon's load was neatly flattened on top. One of us took advantage of the display to take a fake "movie" with GPS'r whilst the other did the signing. Fooled every single passing muggle. Perhaps!
