After reading logs

Not found

There were many a place it could have been,
But none of them it was ....

There were quite a few people around, so could only have a quick look where I think the hint said, but no luck.

Yippee A Power Hour of GeoCaching

Found easily enough but couldn't resist the coffee and apple pie ... delicious! Tftc

Found with Albida33 on our last full day caching around Stanthorpe after the Mega.

Most of attempted caches were found and a good day, with about 100 finds, was had.

Thanks for the cache and adding to the fun of our overall Mega trip.....

On the way to Lowood with Mistraluna and the Better Half to visit friends and then onto the airport so Mistraluna and the Better Half can return to the west whilst I drive back.

Found the cache without problems.

Thanks Team Robins for the cache.

Was over here for the Qld Mega event - found many, many caches whilst here, but the geogods weren't smiling on us - the weather spoiled it a bit, with only the one day not marred by the rain. But we still found most of the caches we searched for, catching up with old friends and making new ones whilst out on the trail. Time to head back to Brisbane now though - flying back to Perth tonight. Quick find here this morning. Thanks Team Robins

Touring around Stanthorpe and area with DOC-WHO, doing the Mega event caches.
Found quickly after a short search. TNLNSL TFTC

Found on the home from the Mega, but there were so many distractions, it took me nearly all day to leave Stanthorpe! And this cafe was the main culprit - they have the best gelato outside of Italy!

TFTC Team Robins, wish I'd found this on Friday and not on my last day in Stanthorpe!

After the Mega was done and dusted, we headed for Warwick with iluvtrekking to complete the power trail and collect a few other smileys along the way. Very busy spot here today. Took the opportunity to check out the shop. Thanks Team Robins

Heading home from a great long Easter weekend spending time with like minded folks for the Qld Mega event Had a fabulous time and a little sad to leave, but life goes on so homeward bound we must be! Super easy find... took TB to move along (why not hey)

tftc

Found with richliink on day five of our Mega 2015 Stanthorpe adventure.
Today was the big day, the day of the CITO, the Flash Mob and the closing ceremony. Time to say goodbye for tomorrow we are on the road to Warwick. Thanks Team Robins for your cache, which added to our fun.

Heading towards Brissy to visit a mate b4 heading home to Syd, nice quick find. TFTC

Can't miss this one! Wish we were here when it was open.
TFTC

Picked up with HappyFeet1,while attending the OZ Mega2015

The boys have wanted this one for quite a while now. Good excuse to stop for coffee. We are on our way home now after a lovely weekend at the QLD Mega.

Dropping off a TB I forgot to leave at the MEGA.

Vincenzos...a nice stopping place on your travels.

Thanks for the opportunity to find.

I left Stanthorpe around 10am and cached solo towards Warwick where I'll spend the night. Thanks for the cache.

Did not even know this was here until we came across it during the Fruit Run series. Quick find and interesting place. TFTC

In Stanthorpe from SA for the Mega Event and had a great time. Caching our way back to Brisbane with Guz's Travellers, for our flight home. TFTC

Was there early before anyone else about. TFTC

A nice easy find. TFTC

Day 4 QLD Mega Trip. Picking up a few caches missed in the rain the day before. Quick find this morning whilst scouring the area for rubbish for the CITO. SL. TFTC.

Great Attraction

Visiting QLD from Central Coast NSW, and attending the Stanthorpe MEGA EVENT for about a week. Camping at the showground, caching days done mainly with SpikeyMikey, meeting up with members of CCG, HAVOC, and others from all over Australia.
Many thanks to all responsible for a smooth operating event, my first Mega, and first visit to Stanthorpe. Plenty of reasons for a near future visit
Whilest it did rain and drizzle almost every day, I much preferred this over hot days, which is what I encounted on the Gold Coast return journey, as well as a repeated bout of coughing with the flu on the long drive home.

Great Puzzles, Power Trails, landscapes, History, Apples!, and company. Politeness and respect by all

Many Personal records smashed this weekend First MEGA, Finds per day, Altitude, etc

Out with the junior geocacher and Gis+Ger today with an another attack on the AS & animal series. A much nicer day but very slippery roads but we were still able to grab a good number of various caches. We have had an enjoyable day.
Thanks Team Robins for placing & maintaining these cache for us to find.

Last one for the day, taking in one of the local BIG attractions.

TFTC

Boy, they sure do grow em big around here. Had the place to ourselves first thing in the morning on Easter Sunday.

TFTC

Had a break for some wine tasting whilst visiting a big apple. Great location tftc

Early morning on the drizzle meant no muggles around here. Grabbed the cache and took the customary "big thing" photo - I'm kinda addicted to these big things so a cache at a big thing was an awesome Easter Sunday gift!

Parked nearby and walked to the cache, signed and replaced. TFTC

Nice one. Great food at adjacent restaurant.

Couldn't come this far without seeing the Big Apple!

TFTC

Out with Tough mothers for the day to reach our 200 in one day. It wasn't easy with having to do it in the morning with the rain and get back out after dinner but we got there in the end.

Found while in Queensland for the Mega with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic, we enjoyed visiting all the locations.
Thanks for the cache,
Regards The Coffee's

Found with taurus1955 and B/dale Bandits. Sloshed through the puddles to get this one. Love the colour of the container! TFTC

Day 2 of our caching over the Easter long weekend and the Qld Mega. A nice easy find with misschief18, B/dale Bandits and Bentley TB in the rain, it looks as though this weekend is going to be a very wet one.

I found this cache while visiting Australia from New Zealand and while staying in Stanthorpe for several days for the 2015 Mega Event. Today I joined forces with fellow kiwis Cats&Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vamber and Yorkshirekiwi83 (signing our logs as "CAVVY" to save time and log space.) Today we headed North of Stanthorpe again, to do the Fruit Run series and other caches in the area. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best today, so it was a very wet days caching! Apologies for the copy and paste logs, but its hard to remember them all! TFTC!

[red] 2016 NZ Mega Event in Turangi... http://www.nzmega2016.nz

A great days caching on a road trip toward Oz Mega 2015 with Team Crackers and The Coffees. Many differing experiences, some where I walked right to the cache and others where I needed to hunt around a bit. As usual I have enjoyed the various challenges set by the CO's and the fact that I get to cache with friends and am outside in the great outdoors.

Many thanks Team Robins for placing this cache .

This was day 6 of our road trip and Day 2 at the Mega. Out caching with Taurus1955 and Misschief18 had a great time caching pity about the weather !! thanks for the hunt.

Out caching up a storm as CAVVY in the company of Alpenmilch80, Vistra, Vamber & YorkshireKiwi83, What a great way to be spending a rainy day than caching with friends

Thank you to all the cache owners that put these together for us to enjoy while at the OZ MEGA 2015, as NZer's we certainly did appreciate them.

So again thank you for the FUN of the hunt

Found while in the area spending a wonderful weekend at the Mega...at the end of a long day doing 200 in a day! Just made it in the nick of time!

Once again Cats and Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vistra, Vamber and I (signing as CAVVY) were back out on the trail, finishing some of the trails and other one off caches along the way. Quick easy find, TFTC

Second day out with the New Zealand crew which included Cats&Dragons, vamber, vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 (signed logs as CAVVY) to get those power trails done. Even through it was a very wet day we had a lot of fun finding all of those hides. TFTC

Heading home from the A.S series late at night with the tough mothers during the mega weekend. Signed in as TM×8. Tftc

Today we explored Stanthorpe with Whitewebbs using geocaching as a guide while here for the Mega.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Miss Geo11 found this one, and very impressed with the apple she was too. Tftc Team Robins

Yet another big chunk of fruit in the great land of Oz BIG things. An easy find in the pouring rain. Wasn't well covered so made sure it was when I left. Out with micaparamedic. TFTC

found on our night mission tftc tnln sl.

Day 3 of the Mega was another early start to meet up with some other fellow kiwis, (vistra, yokshirekiwi83, Cats&Dragons and alpenmilch80) to complete some more of the trails around Stanthorpe. Another fun day of some super power caching in the area, juggling the dodgy parking (sometimes creative) on these busy country roads with two cars. Signed the logs as C.A.V.V.Y. to save time and space. Thanks for all the caches!

Trying to be stealthy is difficult when wearing bright raincoats! TFTC.

#1025 @ 8:56 am. A geocaching Easter long weekend away at the QLD 2015 Stanthorpe Mega-Event collecting smilies and memories. Stopped for a picture with spinna76 on our way into town this morning. And grabbed a smiley at the same time. TFTC Team Robins!

Down for the OzMega all the way from Geelong. The sun goes down and out we go caching. Thanks for the cache and onto the next one. for the generic logs that will come, if I don't log them now I'll forget

Found at 10:16:00 AM, GAFF1, Out and about today to find a few caches, a quick find by Geoson.
SL, cache in good condition.
TFTC Team Robins

tftc nice

Mega day 2, and it's my first full day of caching. The plan was to see how many I could do in a single day, with a mix of puzzles, power trails and everything else the region has to offer. Up at Kookaburra's call (yes, they really were that loud!), and I managed to slip out early at 0600. This was a quick find thankfully, loads of muggles loading up with apples I presume TFTC

This morning while at the mega I went out for a bit of a caching run and picked up 50 finds and 2 DNFs before I had to head back for lunch (and the phone was going flat and needed a recharge as well!). So it was a bit of a numbers run this morning and with not a lot to say about most locations I am afraid it will be a bit of a generic log, however with the number of logs expected on most caches around here this weekend I suspect the COs won't be reading them all anyway . Thanks Team Robins.

Couldn't resist this one and took a photo here too. Nice red one here. Mary made the find. TFTC Team Robins.

Found on the third day that Pheltern, Gonefishen07 and Maccamob and I had cached together prior to the MEGA event. Another great day's caching with only one DNF.

Visiting the QLD Mega and apologies for the generic log. Wonderful area and a great variety of caches found. Generally, all had excellent coords and were well stocked with large log books. Many thanks to all the locals involved in setting up the mega and providing lots of challenges for us Southerners. Pity about the rain.
Had to return later after some muggles seemed a fixture just by GZ

Found by Mary & David, in company with Gonefishen07, Alansee, and Phetlern (signed as GAMP this time), at 0907. Our third day out on the power trails, and we enjoyed more of the scenery, the themed caches and the company. Our thanks to Team Robins.
