Did not find it on 18/7 went back on 20/7 to check co-ords and found one sign in the creek it had been previously just knocked over along with several of the other signs seems like they need to be dug in further. Nice area ,good walk.TFTC
The signs keep on being vandalised by destructive idiots, so I'm archiving this one.
Spent this lovely sunny winter's day cycling & caching on the great bike tracks. Unfortunately we couldn't find one of the clues, and found a suspicious-looking post which may have had info sign attached at one stage, but is now gone. Or we just didn't find the right sign on this day! We'll be back for another go.
Good one for walking the dog. Hints and coords all spot on. Enjoyed doing this one. Cache dry, but ant nest has moved in around it. Not inside though. TFTC Ozibags.
With an extra day this month makes it a great day to find a cache or two.Found cache in good condition, Thanks
Taken 3 go's to find this one. Couldn't find 1 sign the first day, I'm sure it wasn't there because we found it fine the next time, but we didn't have the rest of the co-ords that day, so had to come back again. Cache in good condition.
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
We parked, we walked, we read, we wrote, we added and walked some more although we weren't sure we had the right destination. At GZ, we poked around a bit until the cache revelaed itself.
The container is full of water but you get that. The cache is fine.
thanks for an interesting adventure.

Was the lat cache of the day for Gaz'n'Kab, Fangsoki and I as we were all cached out and buggered by this time. A nice walk along the trail picking up the relevant numbers and after Fangsoki had a few number fails we were at the final co-ords. We looked, yawned, hunted, rubbed tired eyes, looked again and after sometime Fangsoki found the cache right under the co-ords. Funny that. Decided to call it a day here today, we were all losing interest. TFTC, a great multi though.
Although we were all feeling the pain of a long day caching, we headed around and collected all the information
We soon had a final set of co-ords, and after a short search, we realised we had mis-typed a number
After relocating GZ, we had a long, long search, and finally we came up with the cache in the oh, so obvious place

Our weary group, pulled up this one and enjoyed the walk around the area gathering the clues. I must have been feeling weary - I stuffed up the co-ords .. twice! We took a while to find the cache at GZ. I am not sure why - GZ was spot on - and the hint seemed simple. *SIGH*. The cache was in good condition. This was our last find for the afternoon. A great area indeed. TFTC Ozibags
Found it while out & around with youngoldfella today....
After a nice stroll in the park GZ was located...

Found today with a little help from some new friends on the trail. Of particular interest to me as I would climb up my Grandpop's legs when I was little to get away from the beetloos as I called the soldier crabs. TFTC Ozibags
An interesting little walk early in the morning. A bit curios about what the council are doing. Thanks Ozibags.
A day's geocaching with Temingi. A nice walk in a nature reserve. Found GZ without too many problems but couldn't find the cache. Then...the hint really helped. TNLN TFTC
Wading through water and chest high grass in places, we found all the signs, worked out the co-ords but couldn’t find the cache. Found plenty of little crabs though. Hope it doesn't take another 3 years to get back here.
Unable to complete the coordinates as the signs have been vandalised, found one in the creek and another missing. A shame as it is a lovely spot. TFTC.
This was such a fun find! Really enjoyed collecting the data; it's a beautiful spot.
I really enjoyed this one. No nasty bitey things but lots of sticky grass. Parked at Given Co Ordinates and twenty minutes later was back in the car. Quick find at 1655. TFTC
Found on a walk this morning after breakfast at Bagara. Took one of "The Ags" with us to make sure we didn't get too lost as they had FTF. Lovely area nice walk. TFTC
Enjoyed the walk and once it finaly soaked in what the hint meant it was a quick find.
Thanks Ozibags
Thanks Ozibags
found while out wandering around for a cache or 2 with the L&L Junkies; Mr Gap & Bedmaker..we wandered here, we wandered there, one of us wandered waaaaaay over there.....it was a little elusive at 1st then a cry of 'found it' was heard TFTC and fo bringing us to this great spot Ozibags
That was a great multi - no hard up hill slogs - just some easy walking and simple reading and learning from the signs .
Now we did get a bit misguided at one point then we let common sense prevail and 4/5 of us headed back to where we thought we should go. We had to start thinking like Mr Ozibags . We were followed some time later by Bedmaker who thought he was onto something by going a different way (to no avail [xx(]).
We searched and searched.....and then searched some more.......with another search of a certain area I uncovered the cache. 'But I looked there' was the cry. 'Well I must have looked a little harder' is all I could say[:X]

A really enjoyable cache to do. I wandered around with the L&LJ's, Pigwig and Agap.
We gathered all the info and learnt a little about the area at the same time.
As said in other logs GZ was a different matter.
We looked in all the usual places but it eluded us untill a GPSless Mrs L&L found the spot.
A very good hide Ozibags.

Junkies, bedmaker, Ms Wig and I did the wander around this interesting spot. We wandered backwards and forwards, until we realised we had to find that little path
Having collected all the clues, bedmaker thought it would be faster to cross the creek, while the rest of us decided to go the other way...
bedmaker then realised he was on the wrong side and the rest of us could see him running back to the path we were on
At GZ, this elusive cache had us going round and round, until this sneaky one was revealed.
Thanks Ozibags, we all really enjoyed this multi

Saturday was multi day in Bundaberg, but first, we had a couple of new multis in Bargara. This one was a pleasant walk and taught us quite a bit about the wetland area. With good company, flat ground and much to see and read, we enjoyed our stroll around. This relaxed attitude probably explains why five experienced cachers spent so long looking everywhere but where the cache was. Sad to say that at least two of us looked "there" but it took Mrs Lat&Long to look "there" properly. There weren't any "boy look" comments, but you just knew she was thinking them [:X]. TN/LN/SL then went off to find a V-shaped tree.
don't know how we missed this one yesterday, I looked in this spot several times and didn't see it. Enjoyed the walk and the information. Nice hide thanks John
Loved it, loved it, loved it! After so much rain, having a day that had moments of sunshine plus a chance at our very first 'first-to-find' was too good to resist. We set out, eager to be the FTF and discover our first multi-cache. We had moments of doubt, which turned out to be correct because we had overshot our way. But we corrected and when the going got a bit wild - the more adventurous of our team (me) made the team press on. We were so excited when we finally found the cache. Thank you very much for the hide! 3.15pm (watch out for prickles!)
Congrats to The AGs we were there a bit before you in the rain as well, but came up empty handed, from what we can tell were had the right spot, but just could not see the hide. I must have done something to the Caching Gods of late as this is the second FTF in this area where I have been first on site, but not managed to find the goods. Although I did get 4 FTFs yesterday on some GCA caches in Nanango.
