Muggled and not able to replace

also didnt find...

After 25 min. I stop the search.

Couldn´t find it after 10 minutes and moved on, I think I looked everywhere but of course it might still be there

Couldn't find this one

Actually found

Hi Found it again, first time 15/8/13 but mistakenly logged DNF so found again today. TFTC

Took us a lot longer then it should have! Very easy when you don't skip over bits! TFTC!

TNLN

Found in same spot as one near Dalby all ok TFTC

Found it finally after looking in the same spots many times. We head on out in the morning so thought I should get the caches here in Richmond. Loved our stay at the RV park. Great stuff Richmond.

Cheers

Day 5 of our mad trip to dig up dinosaurs, sapphires, thunder eggs and more.
What an adventure. The road from Winton to Richmond is difinitely 4WD only. Bit of a hairy ride that one. We passed a car towing a caravan and wondered if they knew what they were in for. Hope they made it.
Richmond received an overwhelming response as the highlight of our adventure. Everyone was in awe of the museum there. Totally awesome.

While here, we took a quick walk from our accommodation and knocked off a couple of caches.
Spent a bit longer than I should have searching for this one but got it in the end.

Found with mile high RnC while travelling around Qld A great hide. A really lovely park.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Satisfying to find this one quite quickly. These usually take me longer!!! Lovely park for Doug to have a stretch of the legs.Long way from home, heading east. Tftc

First for the day after being away from caching for nearly three weeks. Had similiar feelings to others when I realised where it was but gep hubby had his hands on it very quickly. SL TFTC.

Took a little while, younger eyes found this one. Nice spot to stop on route back to Mount Isa. Tftc

When we saw where GZ was we thought oh no not another cache on one of these, we don't seem to have any luck but today was a different story geohubby fund it rather quickly. THTF

While out this way thought I would take the opportunity to grab some caches, found nice and quickly during my lunch break, have passed through this town lots of times and never knew this park was here...TFTC

Thanks xr400sim for the cache. All in good order. Early morning grab before setting off again. We are doing the Graham Rodger Country Music tag-along tour. Off to Julia Creek today for the next concert. RoamingParsons from Bargara.

11641 caches found

when we arrived at GZ there were sprinklers over the area and we thought how are going to get this one, but suddenly they stopped, quickly found signed and returned to where it belonged.

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache xr400sim

We have been getting pretty good at finding these nanos but not this time. With 4 of us looking and nothing! Hopefully we will get back out there to have another go.

2nd for the day in Richmond, came here looking for fossils and found some caches.

Woohoo! Two easy finds for this trip and both kid friendly!!!! Thanks for the hide very regular visitors to Richmond and never even thought to check the geo app!!!

found it while travelling to Hughenden.

3rd find on our way to Brissie. Quick easy find. Amazing rocks. TFTC.

Very tricky!!! Search a few times and finally found it!!! Found on our travels from Mt Isa to Townville. TFTC

What's with all the moon rocks? Has the local converter made a mint making them all? If not how did they come to be? TFTC

The said moon rocks

After a lot of help from cache owner, i finally found this one to day!
Thank you very much

Nice one - great history TFTC SL

Catching up with some cache logs from last month- oops

nice one thanks xr. On my way back to Cairns now.

Found at 5.25

Just for once an easy find

Tftc

Agree with last log we hate guns as well! However found this quite quickly. TFTC

Hi Found it good hide.TFTC

Like Boxsey before us we also suck at these and the thought of finding a cache on them sends shivers down the spine. Lucky it wasn't a train or we just wouldn't have bothered. Tried the 4 obvious orifices...and there it was, in number 4, of course. A find by Mr M. Amazingly quick for us versus these machines. Loved the moonrock cairn. Mrs M put a teeny rock right on top, believe it or not. TFTC

Travelling west, heading towards Cloncurry on our 2nd trip around Australia.
A nice quick find today in a beautifully kept park on the outskirts of an interesting little town.
The rubbish bin covers were terrific.
Thanks for the cache, xr400sim.

After driving for weeks through the dryness of the outback plains and mountains, it was so nice to see a field of lush green grass here
The sprinklers were still sprinkling at 9 am and the smell in the air was nice
There was another smell though, a faint whiff of cordite and that could only mean one thing to a geocacher
A micro on a gun !! [:o]

I commenced me search as usual by sticking me paw into the four most likely hiding spots.
And for once the cache was in the fourth spot I stuck me paw
I did a little victory jig and signed the logbook.

TFTC and visit to this very peaceful park [^]

Gee, a find on one of these things, feeling good! Tftc

We usually have a lot of trouble with this type of GZ, but today it was an easy find. Lovely spot well maintained even in very dry conditions. Being off the land ourselves we feel sorry for the nearby stations - they are doing it tuff! And we know that it effects the local town too!

Found it during our big trip around half Austalia. Thanks mate.

I suck at finding things on machinery. Haven't found one yet and this was no exception. Hint?

Getting harder to find in the dark. TFTC.

Happy to find this one. TFTC

Located on our northern adventure TFTC.

We usually have lots of trouble with these types of caches but found this one quite quickly. Great spot for morning tea. T4TL. Greg and Bev

Found after a short search of " likely" areas for a cache to be,
cache is in good condition
TFTC

Found and logged at 16:35
One of 4 finds for the day traveling from Mount Isa to Hughenden on my way home from Darwin via Queansland and the east coast
Thanks for the cache xr400sim

Quick find as we wandered up to spend the morning at Kronosaurus corner. TFTC.

Quickly Found. TFTC Natingovivi from Germany.

Guns blazing

Found it quite easy. TFTC! Peace Keeper

A quick find before leaving Richmond. TFTC

Always good to see old bits & pieces...TFTC lucky as little muggles came along as we drove off....

Thanks for the cache.. Found on roadtrip Cairns-Broome whilst at the van park next door

Found as part of a welcomre break driving between Julia Creek and Townsville. Quickly located with the aid of Geodaughter Darkbex and Mrs HP7. TFTC

This was our 1st cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 09:59.
(So this is our 4716th total find.)

Found very quickly on our journey eastward.
Thanks for not placing a nano!!

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks xr400sim for the hunt today.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 87 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, making our way from Darwin towards Townsville, after stopping for a few days in Mount Isa.

We needed a spot to have lunch and I knew the lake was here, and after lunch I took the opportunity to stretch my legs for an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find of GC26FEV Moonrock.

As we headed away from the lake I spotted the two guns on the rise and branched off to take some photos. After taking photos of the 'War Memorabilia' and the 'War memorial' I almost forgot there was a cache there, and then made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find in one of the obvious spots (I own a few gun caches).

I couldn't locate anything in the park related to Peace Keepers. After the event and in preparing this log I see that the memorabilia of WAR has been mistaken for Peace Keeping. I don't believe any Bofors guns have ever been taken to a Peace Keeping deployment. Fighting a war to a successful conclusion is Peace MAKING, and everything in the park is related to that. Occupying an area in an effort to prevent war is Peace KEEPING, and a few places around Australia have memorials to that, but not Richmond, or at least not in that park.

My Groundspeak find No 2835, TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC, my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB and three other travellers in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

TFTC staying overnite traveling from Isa to Rocky, done the historical walk, certainly been a few building fires over the years.

Tried every likely spot but this one eluded us. Interesting little park and lovely war memorial, so thanks for bringing us to this location anyway. 2BluFish

Just tracking my finds

We walked across from the caravan park into this very well kept memorial park - a real credit to the town. We actually searched the hiding spot a few times before finally locating the cache - how did we miss it??? TFTC. Now off to Kronosaurus Corner for another treat.

Had to search in lots of holes before we found it.

Brahms6 found this one. A nice little memorial park that would not have been seen if not for the cache. TFTC

Our most north western point on our three week school holiday drive around Queensland. We ended up spending a couple of days here as the kids asked again and again to return to the fossil dig site. We ended up with bags of belemnites, fish scales and coprolites. The audio tour and display at Kronosaurus Korner was excellent. It even kept the kids quiet and interested for hours and we ended up staying until 20 minutes after closing time.
Sadly with a car full of non-enthusiastic cachers I was limited to one cache per town so this was it. I got lucky and spotted it in the first place I looked. The cache was in good condition and the logbook was dry.
Thanks for placing the cache.

Day 5 of my Perth to Townsville Drive! Last Day!

TNLN TFTC

Will try again next time through.

Nice little hunt for myself and some friends I was travelling with. (: TFTC

nice little cache
hot at the moment here but no problems
merci

Nice little town TFTH

An easy find today, TFTC

Missed this one on the way to Uluru last wee - too many muggles to even try. Today, on the way home, we were the only people in the area so quick grab abd we were off. TFTC (Number 80 for our holiday since we left home on 16th.)

we searched on both canons but we didn't founf it

took a little while to find
after retracing where we had already looked [:o)]
TFTC

Thanks guys
Off fossicking now

With permission from xr400sim we have replaced this cache. It is now an Eclipse contaner.Happy hutting. TFTC xr400sim

Hope you find it were you wanted it to be whe you come through next time. TFTC xr400sim

A huge thank you to the Eland's for offering to replace this cache. That's what I love about this game, getting to know some wonderful people with (geokids) who all share the same enthusiasm for caching.

No luck for us today. 3 of us crawled all over the item in question, with a torch to examine those dark spots, for about 20 minutes. We located a rusty nano magnet, and thats it.

Cheers
Bundy

Again this is disabled until I can replace the container.

First time stumped on our trip around Oz.

Took me a while to find it, should have started on the other side.
TFTC

on our family trip thru dinosaur country
another nofind
have done this type before and again couldnt find it

I finally had the chance to search for this one on a muggle-free day while travelling through town. Very well done.
SL TFTC.

Found this one while travelling the outback with Buskids.

Thanks for the cache, we checked this spot about 3 times before actually finding it.

Found by geohubby on a trip up through north QLD. Take the time to look at Kronasaurus Korner, very interesting.

We searched and searched, but could not find it anywhere. Any hints from someone who found it?

Well how good was this 150 metres from our tent and a FTF ,life is good on holidays
Richmond school you guys were very close the boys were closer than the girls and all the boys were doing was sitting on something goodluck
