Quick stop to get coffee and donuts. Might as well get this too! TFTC

As we continued our way south this morning, we stopped to look for this cache. Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. We replaced the logbook as the current one was wet and nearly full. Thanks Avagomob for the cache.

TFTC. A quick find.

Awesome find, tftc

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 31 - Gladstone - Agnes Water + Town of 1770 - Gladstone, Queensland (280 km)Pvodn jsem dnes chtla jet na njak lodn vlet k ostrovm jin sti Velkho barirovho tesu, ale nen to tak jednoduch. Na vtinu se dostane jen soukromou lod nebo letadlem. A na tch pr, kam jezd lod na jednodenn vlety, vyjd pouze nkolik cestovnch agentur a jen z nkterch mst. Z Gladstonu jezd pouze pvoz na nejbli ostrov, ale tam me jen s autem 4x4 a na jeden den to nen. Nala jsem si, e vlety podaj z Town of 1770, co je msto, kam v roce 1770 doplul James Cook a v podstat zaloil Queensland. Na internetu byly stejn vechny vlety na dneek vyprodan a nakonec jsem to vyhodnotila jako zbytn pro osobu jako j, kter se nepotp ani nenorchluje. Ale do toho msta jsem vyrazila na vlet. Je to jen 140 km ... Mstem bych to nenazvala. Je to shluk kemp a przdninovch dom v malebn ztoce v Korlovm moi s pknm vhledem na ps ostrov. Cestou jsem se stavila u pr keek a na mst la do Infocentra pro informace, neb jsem chtla jt na njakou vychzku. Zaujal m trail lesem jakchsi paprovch strom (Paperbark), ale pan m hned zarazila, e trail je uzaven. Dal byl Discovery trail at 1770, kter ml zanat za muzeem. Pes cestu ovem nataen erven drty a cesta uzavena. Tak jsem dojela a na konec msta k pobenm skalm a tam la krtkou vychzku na vyhldku na ostrohu skal. Vhledy opravdu pkn a navc tu byla keka z roku 2003, ke kter jsem teda musela lzt trochu dobrodrunji do bue a skal, ale klaplo to. No a tm jsem zde atrakce v podstat mla za sebou a vrtila se do Gladstonu. Bylo dost dusno a 31C, tak jsem dala sprchu a klid na lku. Ztra m u zase ek del pejezd do Brisbane. Today I made a trip from Gladstone to Agnes Water and Town of 1770. On the way, I collected some caches and at the end I went for a short walk to the viewpoint of the islands in the Coral Sea. Here I also found an old cache from 2003. So I was satisfiedAnd she returned to Gladstone for the last night. Tomorrow I'm going to Brisbane. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Czech republic.

TFTC Im visiting my Mum in Benaraby and couldnt pass up the chance for a find.

Tripping to gold coast. Stopped off for donuts and iced coffee with hubby TIKOJA Tftc gotchya

Taking advantage of the last weekend is school holidays I did a quick overnight trip to the Gladstone area to take care of something. Picked this up when stopped to check my map and have a bit of a rest.

A nice quick find and our final cache before we get to Yeppoon.It's a good job I'm tall!!---Over a week ago we made a trip up to Yeppoon to visit family and some of the big things dotted around the state. On the way we stopped off at Noosa Heads (big pelican) and Maryborough before staying in Hervey Bay (big whales) for a couple of days to break up the journey. Whilst in Hervey Bay we went out on a glass bottomed boat and explored Big Woody Island and Round Island. Onwards again and we visited Childers, Gin Gin and got stuck in a crazy tailback a few kilometers from Miriam Vale (big crab, big donut and big Magpie). It would have been rude not to pick up a cache or two on our journey North.We visited Great Keppel and did some snorkeling (and Jack spotted a large sting ray), Emu Park to view the Singing Ship, Rockhampton (big bulls) to visit the zoo (which I wasn't too keen on) and just about every restaurant and coffee shop in Yeppoon. It's a lovely part of the world.On the way back home (boo) we visited the caves at Cania Gorge and stayed overnight at the retreat and then on to the Three Moons Silo Mural, Gayndah (big orange) and then onto the Bruce and straight back home.Thanks!!#3502

We thought the name itself was a hint as couldn’t get service to read details. BUT geohubby spotted it easily. TFTC

We were on our way through to łongreach and saw the coffee and donut van..... can't drive past that so a quick stop was made and the cache was a bonus! Thanks for the fun

Making our way down south from Yeppoon to Noosa and saw this quick drive by to continue my ongoing streak. Today makes day 86.
Thanks Avagomob for the cache.

Nice spot for a leg stretch. On the hunting trail with SeasonedBird while on a slow roundabout route to QOGM 2023 at Longreach. It’s a great day for caching.
TFTC Avagomob

For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

Thanks Avagomob for taking time to set out and maintain this hide and for showing us this very special part of the world

Sorry for the late logAfter making our way across the longest shortcut (Laverton WA to Winton QLD)After supprising family and doing a bit of caching around Townsville,After heading north to catch up with friends, We are now travelling south.A quick find was made, and the log signedTB visited your cacheTFTC

Had to stop for a comfort stop, had a look and saw that there was one just over there. While filling this log in at the motel, I noticed this one is around 13 years old, so I am glad I got this oldie.

Thanks for everyone who has maintained this oldie over the years

Nice quick find, thanks for the cache

A busy day with lots of traffic & campers parked. We found it & don't think anyone was watching! Now for a coffee & don't. TFTC

Mr TiedyeSmileys was very galoot indeed to munch on a donut while grabbing the cache to sign

TFTC and greetings from Tassie

A quick find on our way to Hervey Bay. TFTC Avagomob

Quick find - Tftc

its a very strong magnet on it and would say its more small than micro. pretty easy find and pass the time during a wee stop

On a drive from Hervey bay to yeppoon for some R&R as only one piece of the triple turmoil.

That magnet will certainly ensure it isn't blown away by traffic going past.

We camped overnight, it was full but everybody got a place to park. It was surprisingly quiet next to the highway and there's a shower too. Cache was a quick find and in good condition.

On our Australian motorhome trip we stopped here for a break and looked for the cache. Found it after a short search.

Thanks

Found

Great quick find TFTC

TFTC, good stop for coffee and donuts

Great spot. The hint confused us for a bit but once we found it we realised how simple the hint was. We loved this as this was our first cache

I stopped for coffee (good cup too) and while here *naturally had* to check for a cache. Found this only 22 metres from where my car was parked. The log is still a tad damp since the last person found it wet, so it appears to have dried out some. Strong magnet. TFTC Avagomob.

Another good cache found with woolwood9.
*Enjoyed the drive / walk around.*

*Thanks for the fun find!
Really appreciate the effort put into this cache.*

Long, tough but enjoyable day. ????

Enjoying a trip around Queensland with tmann421after a two year wait for the Australian New Zealand boarders to open.

Quick find. Log is soggy though. Got a 2 for 1 with a munzee here too!!

After having to replace a car battery this morning we got off to a much later start than what we had hoped for so today we are just doing a leisurely drive towards Bundaberg via Agnes Creek picking up caches along the way.

This was the first for the day and we agree with the cache page it is a very popular location and there was caravans, cars and bikes parked all over and the nearby coffee shop was doing a roaring trade. We were able to park the car as a barrier from muggle eyes and then started our search. It did take up two laps before we found the cache and happily added our name to the log which some how or other is a bit wet but still suable.

Now to grab a coffee and be off on our way.

Thanks Avagomob for bringing us here.

Found it but it was too damp for me to sign

Easy find. Lots of caravanners parking here today, plus the odd cow or three. TFTC

Heading for home with wombles after a fun time at the Mega. We needed to stretch the legs and grab a coffee. Oh and one of the most delicious donuts!!! ??

At Gz it didn’t take long for the cache to be in hand.

Thanks for the smiley Avagomob

A quick find in our long road trip home from the mega.
Tftc

On our way to Rockhampton today from Eudlo, getting closer but decided to stop here then detour off to Gladstone for a bit to see the boats just finished in the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race.
While J used the facilities, I found the cache. Only one muggle in this part of the park but a fair way off to see what I was up to. Quick find, sign and replace anyway. Nice spot to camp probably, near the Boyne River.

Very late and dark for this one. Next time gadget.

Caching with my main squeeze, Oddiewan, BitternA4 , and our geo pup. We are on a trip
up to the Townsville Mega taking our time driving up (as best we can with limited time off work). We chose your cache in a goal to find a cache in every QLD LGA to/from Townsville.

Oddiewan was really desiring a nice coffee and so we took part in a local coffee van parked at these campgrounds. Hot cinnamon donuts too!! yum.

Thanks for the fun, Avagomob

day one of road trip to townsville
bye bundy ... off to mackay

so glad we stopped here
visited what was needed ... found a cache ... visited the ark

well worth the walk around the circle to see all the sights
love the 'balls'

No wonder logbooks are said to fill up to quickly. You can sign both side of the logs.

TFTC

Found on my way to Mega, at Townsville, nice, quick find while wife made coffee, have stayed here overnight, a few years before I started geocaching, was a lovely place, appears to still be a favourite with campers, cache is in good condition , Thanks Avagomob

Left Maryborough this morning bound for the Townsville Mega, with a caravan on the back of the car. Managed to stop for this one not long into the trip.

Thanks Avagomob for the caches.
Total Cache Finds 12498,

Nice quick find. Pity so many people only sign 1 side of the log book.

Found with bubba_89, barbbowman and FastEd 59

Another quick stop on the way to THE MEGA. Once again I am following my friends.

I AM GUR

Second day of our trip to Townsville for the MEGA and we are heading to Mackay. Had to stop here to grab this one for some challenge or reason.
A quick find SL then returned as found.

Found on 10 April 2022. TFTC, Avagomob.

Day 2 of the Tour De Ville and we’re back on the road heading North…

Again with TMZ59 at the wheel of the Habanero Sport, Patrol14 up the front, and Imbunda and I in the back fighting over the arm rest…

We have a list of caches, that I spent at least two hours creating, to collect on the way up… the list lasted exactly one cache yesterday before we were getting “other” caches…

This cache was on the list, don’t ask me why, but it was on the list… Literally a park’n’grab thanks to the Habanero Sport… there’s a lot of log book in there… tftc…??

On the way to Mackay for the night as we venture north to Townsville for the Mega, with Team de Ville (Imbunda, Peppa, and patrol14). Nice quick find. TFTC.

On our way up north, caching as we are going along the way. Thank you to the CO for placing them there . Cache found and log signed. TFTC

Heading north for the Townsville Mega, taking 5 days and finding caches along the way. Thanks to the COs for placing these caches to show us more of your local area.
A quick find while we take a short break.

Day 2 of our trip to Townsville for the MEGA Event and travelling with TMZ59, Patrol14 and Peppa.
Being a bit selective today as we are on a time limit to attend an Event in Sarina and adding a few letterboxes and other caches to our list. Soon found and log signed before replacing as found. TFTC

Nice easy find ??

Day 4 of our road trip to the MEGA at Townsville.
Moving on from Agnes Water to Rockhampton today, and aiming to collect a few more smiles on the map to fill gaps in the Challenge I am working on.
This is cache 1 for the day.
Took a few goes to work out where GZ was today, despite bright clear skies. Plenty of long grass and a hesitancy to meet a "wriggly stick" was in the delay.
Cache is in good condition, and now has our names scribbled in it.
Thanks for the cache!
