Couldn't find. We searched the spot , confirmed by the hint, and couldn't find it. I'd recommend someone who had found it previously checks it. I may be blind, but I'm pretty sure i checked every centimeter of that chair.
Here in Gladstone in advance of the annual Heron Island swim. Just a few hours before the ferry leaves gave us just enough time to continue our walking tour and get some breakfast.
No luck for us here this morning but we could see where STONE was once attached to container. For the record Mr Gaztek voted Train and Mrs G voted Tank. When we get back home in a few days we'll post the photo of where we think the ultimate decider could be held. Cheers... Gaztek

We had a few hours to spare before heading home, so thought we'd grab a few caches. An easy cache as no muggles about. Tftc
Parked in the bus stop right next to this one. It's not real busy here on a Saturday afternoon in Gladstone.
We had to use some stealth and patience due to passing traffic and a few muggles but soon had cache in hand, log signed and after a while cache was replaced in it good hiding spot.
TFTC sentinel maximus - another good cache hide indeed!

Great cache. We looked for it once unsuccessfully, not sure now how we missed it. TFTC

Great clue! Didn't take long to find. No muggles at 9am. Found with fellow geocachers
Enjoying an arvo walk from my appartment when I did slight detour to chase this cache.
Some "gardening" activity round the station , mildly surprising as it is a Sunday arvo, and the Tilt train is not due for a while yet.
Didn't see the "stone" but then found both. Good hide

I work quite nearby so this was a lunch break quickie. All in good condition plenty of room on the log TFTF.
Train had just arrived so a little bit awkward especially with an muggle sitting on the Rock. Tried to be inconspicuous but he asked us what we were up to, so, without even trying, we successfully converted the muggle lol. He enthusiastically started helping and actually found it first, wrote his name in it and is going to join online LOL
Lucky there was a seat at GZ as we needed to sit down to wind up the VERY long log sheet. This activity took longer than the search did. TFTC
Nearly had to abort the mission due to the muggles cleaners sweeping the road and taxis dropping off passengers, but after a few subtle inspections I had it in my hand. TFTC!
Out and about Gladstone, new to town what way to get to know your way around than go on a geo cache hunt. TFTF cache is in good condition left signed log. A stone is not always a rock
A quick and easy find. I've spent way too much time at this train station waiting for delayed trains in my boarding school days and it was weird to be back here again! Tftc!
Was working here this morning and had some time to have a break at the gz. This is a great one for a quick stop before a train.
Found my second cache. Was not where I expected it, but have a good look around and you can't miss it.
Logbook(s) are full. Found a small place to leave my message.

Came from rocky to do a few and found it easily no room to right in the log though but found a little space but will need more paper in it.
I'm in town for Christmas and trying to bag a few caches while I'm here. Nice cache, quickly found. Log very full. TFTC!
Forgot to put in my two cents... Train if it has a run up, tank if it sees the train coming.
Found at 12:30 PM GAFF3. A tough place for getting accurate co-ords as we just couldn't hone in on GZ. Wonder if the structure has been shifted over the last few years? What is the Tank part of this cache - no one else seems to have commented on it over the past 2 years.
Thanks sentinel_maximus.

Clue and cache name made sense once we were at GZ. A different method of attachment that we hadn't come across before but must remember. A very quiet area at 3.30pm. Thanks.
After driving around and getting a number of DNF I pulled up in the car park right beside an abandoned vehicle with police stickers on it.
I strolled over to check out the stones and after answering a phone call from the missus grabbed the cache with no problem.

A couple of days in Gladstone for work, so I thought I'd see what caches I can pick up whilst here. Lunch break on day one, and a quick walk had this one in hand pretty quick. TFTC.
Found a comfy stone and soon found a cache.
Thanks sentinel_maximus for the cache.

Left the caravan at the free stay, again, for another assault on Gladstone caches.
A good variety for a small community.
Arrived when train was due, and it was muggle city.
Had to wait until train left, and muggles were no longer.
A quick grab and sign.
Found this one in good condition and well hidden.

A nice easy one once we sorted the spot. Sat down with the stone while geotykes played around with torches and mirrors. Geotykes very happy to find this one all on their own

Found this one today during a family afternoon of caching.
There is almost no space on the log sheet, and I didn't have a new one to leave. Found a small space to SL. Next to find will have a challenge. TFTC Cheers

Another quick find while visiting Gladstone. Took a little while looking for a rock to sit on! Very clever. TFTC.
Cat and Bear are visiting from Townsville and decided to do some caching while here. Nice area quickly made the find.

Thank you says Enhaneunzig from Germany

Gladstone is as far as I got on the way from Airlie Beach towards Fraser Island. Staying in the Motel opposite the station so it was just a few meters to this one. TFTC!
Found on our Qld adventure trip, while in Gladstone for a stopover.
Nice quick find and off for another one.
Cheers from southern NSW. TNLNSL TFTC,

Clever clue. Nice easy find while waiting for my car at the nearby dealer. had a harder time putting the cache back, glad no one was around to see me make a goose of myself. Was a pad lock in the cache but had no swaps.
With the caravan parked at the Calliope Rest stop we took off in the car heading towards Gladstone to pick up some caches. A beautiful day and an interesting assortment of caches kept us entertained. This one was nifty, the clue had us thinking something entirely different.
Thanks to sentinel_maximus.

Great hide ! The clue was great as this is the name of one of the Geo Savages! With a quick scramble they had this clever little cache in hand.
Thanks Sentinel
