The time has come for this series to retire. Thanks to all the finders, hope you enjoyed the game.

No find for us today, should have read the activity first:( looked high looked low, found some wire, but that's about it.

Wire but no cache.

Did not find this one. Looks to be MIA.

Couldn't find the cache today

Found some hanging wire but no cache.

Nice quick and easy find

Nice quick find on a vet hot day with Harrisfami1!

Once the spider was gone we found it and signed it

A road to nowhere good hide

Cool spot! Took little pineapple, left "super fighter" timezone arcade token.

Great find, our first in this area. Near the fork.

Nice... Quick an log.. Lmao nice camouflage. Happy geocaching )

Nice and quick on here. All is good with cache. Thank you CO for placing. Left some fairy dust.

Cache appears to have been lost in recent storms. Replaced today, coordinates unchanged but please note the revised clue.

Safely to third - but it seems third has recently made a bid for freedom having been washed a short way from its hiding spot. Log book is quite damp so probably could do with a spot of sunshine - left in the container but outside the plastic bag which was very wet. Placed back in a hiding spot consistent with the hint.

What a nice day to go Caching.. put a call out last week that i wanted to go. had JACS team respond.. so we organised a day and swapped the digits.. Organised a meeting spot to start the adventure.. finally getting to the same meeting place... we put our heads together and came up with an action plan. started solving one multi but as shops where still closed made it harder. so we changed our plan and jumped in the car and set off on our adventure to find caches. had a great day out thanks JACS team. You've Been Bear'd

Easy find

Out and about with IolatheK today. It looked like another wet caching Wednesday when we caught up in a car park. As I made the wise choice to leave my sunnies in my car the weather improved rapidly and it turned out quite nice.

Easy find. TFTC

Quick visit nice secluded spot

First one in the series for me.
Parked nearby and headed in.
Soon spotted what I needed.
Signed the log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks ManicWombat All good with this cache

A day out in the Collingwood Park area with Joojoo57 and Patrol14.

Now just down to a few after the others left for kid duties, we took a side road and drove up past the barrier to a convenient parking spot. Cache soon discovered, and now we discover there was a clue? It wasn't obvious but now we shall venture back one day to check again.

Log signed by all & replaced again. Found at 2.40pm on 14th July 2016. TFTC

Out for a day of Geocaching with RoddyC, Joojoo57, sewrainbow, KerriMG and nikid1 in this area.
A fun day out and interesting places to visit.

After finding a Pickled Grandmothers' Ghost we stopped for a spot of baseball. Not sure where this was taking us, we didn't have to got far before we found it. Was a bit exposed but after signing the logbook we returned it to its hide and covered with natures camo for the next finder.
Unfortunately didn't take note of any info in cache so will possibly have to return at some stage to get this.

Out for a day of caching with RoddyC, nikid1, Sewrainbow, Patrol14 and KerriMG around the Collingwood Park area.
A quick find for us. Thanks ManicWombat.

Close by the first I looked for

Was sent to a 2nd job sight tonight and thought I'd check the area this beauty was only 120m away from job sight so while doing a sign check I grabbed a smiley as well

Was a little bit exposed so we camoed it up. Tftc manic wombat

It's strange to find these things so close to our daily travels

Easy find with hint tftc

Our first cache we have found

I decided to pull up and devour a couple of burgers for lunch when I saw a couple of beautiful but doomed Jacaranda trees (development destroys a lot of nice places). Casually checking the app, I realised there was a cache only a stone's throw from me; naturally I had to go find it. To my surprise I even found a trackable inside. TFTC Manic Wombat. I loved the abandoned road.

Could almost drive right up to it.

Thanks for the cache, needed to get out of the house on a sick day from work.
Left a TB for others to find.

Hopefully this is found again before the new estate is finished.

Found on a quick trip to Ipswich to grab the last of the souvenirs for the road trip experience. The multi for this one has been on my to do list for a while so I thought I would stop by to grab the clue. After making a wrong turn and doing a quick u-turn I found GZ and the hide nice and quick. Great hide and TFTC ManicWombat

This one took quite a bit of searching despite but I managed to find it in the end. I picked up the final co-ordinates for the multi which I look forward to.

Great trades, well hid, obvious place would have been the tree stump...but that's not it!!!

Cache completely replaced, new everything. All crisp and clean and ready to be found. Of course, it does not help that when I found the old one it was upside down with the lid only half clipped on. Plus the whole thing was in the bottom of a drainage ditch...... [:(!]

Please replace exactly as found.

Easy find, no trackable in the cache though.

Cache is wet and log book is smelly and wet.

Quick find cache is quite wet.

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking year through the world. Most of the time I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier. 

After a three and a half week roadtrip from Margaret River to Brisbane it's time to find some work again.

This one was a quick and easy find, but the box was filled with water, even the container does not seem to be broken.
Logbook is soaked and feels slimy..

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Today we explored Ipswich and surrounds with Roostaman using geocaching as a guide.

Will keep the code for future reference.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Another fine Autumn day for a drive around Ipswich with Tassie Trekkers.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina.

I was near by so took the chance to line up the bandits. I had rhe first two bases covered and was hoping to make it to third.

I have driven pay this spit before and never stopped. So it was nice to see something new.

An easy walk and another quick find (my phone add really playing nice tonight) and I had all the clues for th final.

Thanks for the cache. I hippie to get to the final soon!

Been meaning to try this series for a while. Lazy Saturday afternoon and cacheing gear in the car - lets go

Did this first as it's quite close to home

TFTC Mr Wombat

Down from Toowoomba trying to complete the Spell February Challenge. I needed a multi and discovered the Brisbane Bandits Home Plate - so this is how we found ourselves here. Mrs E out with my usual non-caching geofriend - she loves coming with me and discovering new places but has no desire to sign up...I know, right!!! It was nice to discover this was pretty much a park and grab to get us on our way and give us every opportunity of completing our planned list of caches. TFTC.

Got em all now. Next challenge to find final cache.

A quick park and grab before setting out on the Lisylou and Misssusan79 power trail through the Dr Harry Ratnam Reserve.
Nice easy find. All ok.

TFTC.

A quick find! Thanks for the cache ManicWombat!

Road closed these days but short walk. Cool swaps. Tftc

Picked up a few caches, on our way back to Landsborough.
We found a great variety of hides, all in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, ManicWombat, for us and others to find.

5775 Caches Found
.
Found while trawling my way throught the Western Suburbs of Brisbane. On the fourth day of my adventure to attend Bob Dylan's Concert in Brisbane part of his Neverending Tour.

Thanks for the great cache ManicWombat(8D)

We were heading off into White Rock Conservation reserve once again, and I wanted to clean up all the unfinished caches in the area. This included the final of this series. That meant that I had to swing by on the way in to find this one. We arrived early and got a 'good par' only a few meters from the cache! Oh yes we totally ignored the no entry signs that are at the bottom of the street!
Cache soon found, info recorded, and returned to its home!
Thanks manic Wombat! This was not our last one of your caches we will do today, and it turns out we are following your trip around the park of just a few days ago!

Daughters first cache

Tftc

After previously abandoning in the rain, this attempt was successful. Picked up a traveller too.

A very interesting approach road to this one, not sure why the road is set out like this. This was the last one of the day and had to resort to the hint to make the find.Picked up a TB and dropped off another. Tftc.

Great hide. Algester Scouts TB is no longer here. Left a Smurf badge and 'Hot Team Racing Caroline Yellow NASCAR Truck' TB. TFTC

Slid into 3rd base without many trouble. No muggles about TFTC SL

Tftc time to get a home run

Found it! Took travel bug TFTC!

Heading out to White rock. Needed the numbers form this to get to home base. Used the phone to nav to this one only to discover my GPS had not loaded my PQ correctly.

Thanks to the magic of Facebook I soon had the other numbers I needed Swapped TBs here

Nice easy find. Dropped off two TB's so that I wasn't holding on to them for too long.

TFTC!

Straight to 3rd Base lol..Found on a perfect caching day with Dirty4b

Quick find thanks to the hint.

Good hide. Big diamond.

After a nice stroll up an old road, found 3rd base. Got the clues. Now to find the other bases! Thanks.

Clue was a good hint. Easy find TFTC

fascinating old and new roads at third base! quick find and log

Found with geolze. 3rd for the first day of geocaching month. Left swaps.TFTC

!!!!!!

Another quick find in this series, still have a couple to go. Cheers ManicWombat

Geoson quickly had it as he jumped from the car as we pulled up.
TFTC

Drove past this one the other day but workers everywhere. Passing again today and all quiet. A quick grab , clue noted. thanks ManicWombat

We wondered if the massive overhead powerlines would interfere with our GPS but apparently not. It took us straight to GZ. Strange that this road is closed. Wonder why?
Grabbed the clues to continue this series another day. Cache is in good nick.

Thanks ManicWombat

Have had this one half done for ages now, so looked back through all my notes and found the previous clues. Added the new clues and arrived with GZ not to far away. Back in the car to finish off the rest. TFTC

Found it on a cache blitz with Hiltonclan had a great couple of hours talking cache.. After starting at the bremer river.. Took TB and will do the rest of this one another day TFTC..

Having just met Manic Wombat and Mighty Mouse who to be technically correct stated that my dog looked like a sheep, I thought that I would leave them a TB. As my hand reached in, I paused, now where did he say the brown snake lived? Was it here or another cache? I left TB but forgot to get the code... Thanks ManicWombat. Great to meet you two out there today.

The geokids wanted a "toy one" before heading home, so we had one last detour before driving back. Odd little road this one, Miss A wondered if they had closed it since someone died up there....I told her I didn't think that was the reason.

I didn't realise this was a series, I wonder if mrs PJATPAC has been keeping the clues on the ones she has found?

Thanks for putting a "toy one" out here Manic Wombat.

Being close by I just thought I would drop in to this one. As I turned the corner nearby two trail bike riders come around and I was really looking out for others just in case as I was parking near two vehicles.

A good look around and there was no one to be seen and I could hear the trail bikes getting softer so with a little nudge, I was off to the location on the GPS and made the find quickly. Seemed a little exposed, but I guess not to many people use this old piece of road.

TFTC

Miss 4 is getting really good at spotting camouflage.
Once the GPS settled, we found the likely spot.
You should have seen her little face. So excited to have found it all by herself.
TFTC Maniac Wombat

Nice quick find on my way home from ippy, didn't have much time so wanted an easy one.

tnln

Last of my bases. Now to find home!

Went back after seeing maintenance performed. Quick sign and take down clue will pull my finger out and find the rest. TFTC.

On my way for a road trip and a little hill climb with Brother Colin, and as I was a little early I called by this one. A most peculiar road, but the co-ords were spot on so it was a quick find. I noted the clue. TFTC, ManicWombat.

Cache and contents replaced. All is clean and dry and ready to be found. Happy hunting!

Found cache today but unable to sign due to being full of water..

Well I made it to Thrid. I have been here before but forgot to take down the clue. I now have the final for home base.

Road closure meant a harder find but we got it easy thanks to the clue
