Soldiers Memorial Stanthorpe, Queensland, Australia
By Team Robins on 09-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2BG4D

no luck with this one either. We were going to come back to stanthorpe to get the missed caches but with a lot of DNFs dating from September for at least 10 of them we might wait till the COs visit them and make sure they're still there

Due to logs

DNF - I had a good look around for this one in the logical spot according to the hint and I also couldn't find it. I have been known to be cache blind in the past, but I think this one needs a visit from the cache owner please. Thanks Team Robins.

Feel like I had the right spot but nothing there, only just realised last log a dnf

Found where it should be, couldn't find it though

It's incredible how Geocaching shows you things in a town that you would never had known existed.
I have been on the road up to the lookout several times, yet never knew this was here.

All Good .. TFTC ..

Brahms 6 found this one. An interesting out of the way memorial. I forgot the pen but photo attached

This is my first cache I have found. TFTC

We were unable to get to the MEGA Event earlier in the year so decided to come caching in Stanthorpe for the long weekend. This was our second day of caching.

A very unusual place to find a memorial. We would never have known it was here if not for geocaching. We had a look at the memorial itself before quickly finding the cache. TNLN TFTC.

Found it. Thanks. House sitting in Warwick. Came up to Stanthorpe for the day. Had to do some caches

After 5 days in Stanthorpe, and a thoroughly great time this was our last cache for the trip. Thanks once again Team Robins for your efforts in allowing us to find all those little gems that you wouldn't normally find if there wasn't a cache hidden there. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

Would not call this micro but rather, a small one.

A quick find whilst passing through town on our way North.

TFTC Team Robins

A really well maintained memorial. Thanks for placing the cache.

We were rather surpised to find this rather nice memorial park located at the top of a hill with rather a steepish walk from the road. We're baby boomers so we managed OK, but what do they do on ANZAC Day? TFTC Team Robins.

Lol found it

Found at 11:49:00 AM, staying in Stanthorpe for a couple of days and grabbing a few caches before continuing on our way North to escape Wagga's winter. We had heard about the Apple series from fellow Wagga cachers so we decided to put Stanthorpe on our list of places to stay on our trip. We grabbed this one while doing the apple series.

Thanks Team Robins.

Gunnie69 led us in this direction for the Earth cache nearby, & kdawg92 realised there was another here to be found! Gunnie headed back to the car (as he is a seasoned Stanthorpe cacher and has already scoured through most of the area) leaving kdawg92 and I to get ourselves confused over the hint, but still finding it relatively quickly.TFTC!

After heading away from the Earth Cache nearby towards the car, I fired up the c:geo app and found that this cache was nearby so Silver Sovereign and myself decided to trek back up the hill and hunt for this cache. The hint wasn't much help, but with a few minutes of looking and locking down GZ, it was a quick find and log.

Tftc!

Found the cache! Played the Last Post for the Cubs. Amazing!!!!

Lest we forget

Such a beautiful memorial.

Ps. Paper is getting low.

Thank you Team Robins for bringing me up to a lovely part of stanthorpe. It was lovely to meet you today. Best of luck with your walk. SusanDW

Fairly easy. Clue slightly misleading but fun for the little kids!!

Nice easy find, pretty significant location

Misscheif18 and I walked up the slight hill to this one to see a young at heart 79 year old man jumping up and down on a large Granite Boulder upon having a chat with us on their way down he explained he was jumping up to show his wife that the Granite grips when dry but when wet becomes slippery because of the mose. HE also told us about the Boonoo Boonoo falls Near Tenterfied Anyways back to the cache we had an easy find and then went onto having a look around and took a few pics. Enjoyed this one. Thanks for bringing us here.

Found with team Bbayjohn whilst at Stanthorpe Mega, tftc

Found while attending the Mega. Most of the campers have gone but there are still a few of around.
Today we intend to finish off the apple and the elementary series. we took a small break form our plan and Mr Morris hiked up the hill to that very special view.

Thanks for showing us Team Robins

Many colour birds are on this little hill! Thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC! Greetings from HK~

my fiancé is driving, i was enjoying the stunning views. Can't really figure out what hard place means, luckily we hv the cache in hand within minutes. TFTCSL. Greetings from Hong Kong.

Thanks for a great day Team Robins

This one so easy to find

Wonderful holiday in Australia with laalaa. We drove around Stanthorpe and we had fun.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it with Team FIN [kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

Found with taurus1955 and B/dale Bandits. Had a chat with fellow cachers here. What a wonderful memorial-views were good, too. TFTC

Found with Phetlern on a day when we concentrated our efforts around Stanthorpe town as we also attended the events.

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 Vamber and Yorkshirekiwi83 (signing our logs as "VYV" to save time and log space) for another day of caching around Stanthorpe. This was a nice quick find while driving around this morning. TFTC!

Day 3 of our weekend at the Mega in Stanthorpe and we are out and about in the rain, yet again. Only ducks and cachers would be silly enough to be out in this. Anyway, onwards we went and found this cache quite quickly, a good hide. About with misschief18, B/dale Bandits and Bentley TB

A quick find during the OZ MEGA weekend, filling in time before the flashmob

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.

Found whilst out a the Mega! TFTC

It was unexpected to find this building up here. Took a few moments to look at all those names, so sad. The co-ordinates were spot on so an easy find, thanks you for showing me this I would not have known it was there. Thanks Team Robins

After spending the last couple of days frantically driving around this gorgeous countryside, today was to be a leisurely day attending the Cito and Flashmob, tidying up the puzzles and collecting a few others along the way. Thanks Team Robins

Vamber, myself and Vistra (signing as VYV) knew we had to make an early start today, we had a couple of goals, to get the 10 caches types in a day for Vamber, to finish the apple series, to attend some sessions at Mega GZ and my own private one was to get 35 caches to make the Mega itself my 7500th.

Walked up the hill and straight to the hide, so quickly retrieved. We were wondering in a town like Stanthorpe none rock gardens must be highly prized commodities. TFTC

Setting out with Alansee, to reign in some caches close to Stanthorpe, we were treated to a dry day with some periods of warm sunshine. This is one of the caches we found as we picked some more of Stan’s apples, walked beside the river, collected rubbish, followed the trail of a bushranger and waved for the camera at the Flashmob Event.

Our thanks to Team Robins for bringing us here.

Arrived at GZ to complete a QLD MEGA lab cache. Whilst obtaining the relevant code word, discovered that there was a cache close by.

Found in good condition, signed and passed onto the next cacher.

TFTC.

Our final find before lunch on the second morning of the 2015 Queensland Mega. TFTC

Day three at the Mega and my mission is grab 11 different cache types in a day. Including lab caches, there are ten on offer around Stanthorpe today, as well as a virtual on top of Mt Cootha in Brisbane that I have been saving for just this occasion.

On the way down from Mt Marley where I collected the CITO, Earthcache and various puzzles, , it was time to grab a lab cache at the soldiers memorial.

What do you know? A nice traditional nearby. Thanks for bringing me to this interesting memorial, Team Robins

Out early with the oldest boy this morning to grab a few caches to inch a little bit closer to the next milestone which will be the Mega. Thanks Team Robins.

On a big well rounded day this is my traditional cache. An interesting memorial, and different from the usual parks. As weapproach the centenary of ANZAC quite a touching spot. TFTC

In Qld from SA for the Mega event and having a great time, apologies for the generic logs, but very much appreciate the efforts of the CO. TFTC

A quick find and signed the log.... unlike someone else there who said he just sights the cache and that's good enough for him. Apparently has hardly signed anything as couldn't be bothered but logged them all. Huh!! TFTC

Spending the weekend at the Queensland 2015 Stanthorpe Mega Event (www.coord.info/GC4X31B) Found in the company of *SuzySquirrel*, Seirra1, us3scouts & AussieScouter. ~ TFTC

Day Four of the QLD Mega saw us tackling the 10 different cache types in one day, accompanyed with yorkshirekiwi83 and vistra. Found this one enroute to picking up some of the necessary caches that we needed to complete our challenge. Thanks for the cache!

Here for the oz mega and hoping to get as many caches as we can
The weather will not deter us

09:39 Found it on my third day on QLDmega2015.
TFTC SL

It's Ozmega 2015 time and I found this cache on my four and a half day weekend. Woohoo

Found with aerial_tennille and jillcycle while out and about getting as many different types in a day as possible for those that did not yet meet 8 in a day requirements. TFTC

Today is the 4th day of the QLD MEGA 2015 for Bristracker and I. We set out to get 10 different types of caches as well as finish off Stan's apples, lab caches and some other assorted caches. A cool memorial, and with a lab cache close by it was a must get cache. TFTC

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! So, I attended the Stanthorpe mega at the request of several members of the organsing team. Having been to every event designated "Mega" in Australia up to this time I almost felt an obligation to oblige. I knew I would have fun catching up with the many friends I've made Australia-wide and that caching would be done -- and done it was! These are the finds I made while in the area and I enjoyed all of them despite the rainy and a tad cold weather. I cached with Uni, Shonky, and SX as well as Moneydork throughout the weekend. Thanks to all who placed caches in the region, they were all enjoyable.

Found with Gonefishen07 and Lazzal on another fun day caching in Stanthorpe. The weather wasn't to kind to us today but we are made of tough stuff so a caching we will go. We made a quick find and signed as GLZ TFTC

Found while out doing a little MEGA caching with my old caching buddy IF.

thanks for the cache team robins this cache was close to a war memorial to and a lab cache was just nearby this cache to tee hee.

Booyah Found it!

Found this one with Minkos Des and mtill17 whilst Spinna76 and *SuzySquirrel* sat in the car (thye had already found it)

Cool spot.

Signed the log as A.M ( short for arielisme & Mlroberts73,
What a beautiful town Stanthorpe is, found whilst at the mega.

Day three at the MEGA, and T-Tech and I teamed up with Nurseyjulie. I have solved all the Stan's Apple and Elementary puzzles (with help from various friends), and they were my main targets for the weekend. Today we set out to hunt down as many of the Stan's Apple puzzles as possible today. We found Stan's Apple 5,6,7,9,10,13,14,16,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,31,33 and 34, another Puzzle, 8 Lab caches and 11 Traditional caches [^]

This is a lovely memorial. TFTC, and for bringing me to see this place, Team Robins.

Had a great day out caching with Zobo04 and Lazzal. The weather was a little dodgy today but we still managed to get out and find a few caches in some interesting areas. Thanks to all the CO's for the hard work in placing and maintaining these caches for us to enjoy. TFTCTeam Robins
