Turtle Trail - melaleuca forest Bargara, Queensland, Australia
By Ozibags on 14-Oct-10. Waypoint GC2GPB8

Out with Liz and Bruce caching for the Adventure Lab and because they have all their found caches in the GPS, they gave us the chance to look for this.
We have removed the container which Bruce will use.
Shame to see a good cache archived.

Caching today with Liz and Bruce, and they wanted to check if this cache was still there, Bruce located this container, we stamped log and removed with the container. Thanks to Ozibags, shame this cache was archived.

The cache has gone and area has changed, so time to archive this one.

needs checking to see if it's still there.

Found on a pleasant loop walk during our Easter geocaching adventure. We couldn't collect all the caches out here as we had the geodogs but enjoyed the ones we could get to.

This cache was half found, CO has seen photos and given us permission to log. It still took some searching to find what we did.

Thanks for the cache!

Found by the youngest member of our party.

Did not find did not want to go in bush
️ sad

I'm out for a walk on this sunny day, smothered in sunscreen. I've grabbed most of the caches close to home and now it's time to get smilies for all those on this side of Bargara.
I nearly piked on this one - between my flaky gps, the muggle traffic & my fear of spiders, this took me a bit of effort!
Thanks

Another great day for a walk right where I thought it would be. TFTC

TFTC. It is a beautiful Sunday. Sunny a great day to go out and clear up some caches around Bargara. The Coral Sea in the background. We even managed to walk up part of the Turtle Trail. None of the caches were terribly difficult to find. We had a great day thanks top the efforts of the various COs.

Almost gave up. Well hidden. Blue Bear find

Found yesterday quick and easy Tftc!

We had to outwait a muggle cyclist spraypainting the road with numbers. So strange. Cheers ozibags!

No luck in the short time allowed.

Up in Bundaberg with 2/3 of The Bromance; Swellerfungus and Seff, for a weekend of caching as per the mammoth list put together by the J.E.F.F app. We’d grabbed a few caches on the way up last night with a brief pause for dinner, before camping in a sneaky spot not far out of Bundaberg for 4 hours of quality sleep. After doing a number of park n grab style caches we were all keen to have a bit of a walk so headed out to grab this one and some others nearby. Seff & Jez undertook the search here while Fungus and I supervised and provided muggle cover from the path. TFTC

My attention span was starting to wane due to the early start and lots of caches, I plodded on towards this cache. I have been to this area before in a past Bromance road trip. Though last time it was night time, and not in this direction. We set off for a few caches along the Turtle Trail as the sun came out in full force beginning to heat up the day.
SNJ came up with the cache fairly quickly, and all is ok with the cache.
Thanks for bringing us here - a nice walk.

With a long weekend in play it was time for another road trip for The Bromance. With Crookedpete off doing his best Jack Sparrow impersonation on a sailing boat somewhere off of Hervey Bay, the full complement of JezNDez stepped up admirably to fill his shoes. A destination of Bundaberg was set and we headed off from Brisbane on Friday afternoon to begin our adventure.

Thanks to the abominable traffic heading out of Brisbane and a stop in Gympie for dinner at the RSL, it was around midnight before we located a sneaky spot to set up our tents off the road, not all that far out from Bundaberg. With a little over 4 hrs of sleep we quickly struck camp this morning and headed off before sun up to begin a new day of caching.

With the morning spent collecting caches on our target list in Bundaberg it was time to head towards the coast. It was a busy little track this morning with the fittest and finest specimens exercising their way along the path. We had to bide our time as we approached GZ, waiting for a muggle to pass by pretending to admire the local tree specimens. Once the coast was clear I ducked in to GZ where the cache was eventually located safe and well. TFTC

Not to be found today

Great hunt. I recommend wearing more than a bathing suit to hunt for this one.

Found this one whilst riding the Turtle Trail to Bargara. A nice easy find in a lovely location. Thanks Ozibags for placing this cache. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

Staying at the nearby caravan park we decided it was time for a night time cache hunt and this cache fit the bill nicely. Found after a short hunt. Thanks Ozibags

A quick find with Geo Hubby TB142 while on a caravan trip from Vic to QLD. TFTC.

This is a challenge I won't forget. Me being afraid of spiders, these ones are everywhere tftc

Found on a beautiful day in Bargara tftc.

Great spot!

Quick easy find

On the path for a run this morning this was my second stop for a few caches along the way TFTC nice and easy

A nice quick and easy find on our way to Turtle Beach. TFTC

Nice quick easy find. On our return from the end of the track, around 5pm was the biggest kangaroo grazing right around gz. Felt sorry for joggers as these big buggers can feel threatened and attack. I still have a broken jaw from a sudden stop on a bicycle and yes i crashed when a huge roo hopped on my pathway back home on the Sunshine Coast. Tftc.

Nah didn't go back to my car as I saw 2 more to go so I kept walking finish off trial awesome pathway! Quick find for this one so relaxing walking through bush! Other FP TFTC

Spiders are not fun

Hunting on the trail with Sykkid and Partygoomba......
This was the second stop on our hike today from Bargara to Mon Repos and back along the beach.
This was a very nice spot on the trail, lots of shady trees, as well as a nicely placed cache. Was nice to just sit for a while, catch our breath, quick drink and back on the trail.
TFTC

During our short holiday to Bagara, and visiting Mon Repos, we enjoyed lots of sightseeing, awesome weather and a bit if caching. Today we enjoyed the Turtle Trail. As we were walking a cyclist Lady called us 'Cookie cutter spies'. It's always interesting meeting the locals, lol. Thanks for a cache to highlight this lovely area.

Camped at caravab park close ny, went for walk with muggle sister. Found Thanks

TFTC found easily but got a little scratched up in the retrieving process.

Found it

I had been here the night before, but just before I reached this place, the rain started to get heavy. My phone did not like the water drops on its display, it was doing quite a lot of crazy things, so I had to tug it away. I tried to look for the container nevertheless, but not being sure about where to look exactly and with many freaking huge spiders watching what I am doing, I got a bit scared and decided the leave the search for good.

The next day, we walked the turtle trail to Mon Repos. And now, with sunshine out, all these spiders were gone or seemed to be much smaller and the find was no problem at all. Thank you very much!

Camping in Bargara for a few days on holiday, thought we'd check out the Turtle Centre and pick up a few caches on the way! TFTC!

This cache was too easy . I doubt it was in its right spot . I signed the log and returned the cache to where I had found it as I don't know where it should have been. TNLN SL TFTC

Sorry accidently logged that we found it

Too good a hide for us newbies. Will look again another day.

Another good hide for us to find. TFTC

A good place to walk on a sunny cool morning. Replaced zip lock bag TFTC Ozibags

I had headed out this way today to do the earthcache and the Wherigo. I decided to park in a central spot and ride the geocycle to my chosen caches. It was a very pleasant way to pass a few hours on a beautiful winter day.

I was surprised that the track to this one was such a good surface. It was a very easy ride indeed. There were a few people walking, running and riding, but nobody went by while I was at GZ.

A short hunt around GZ soon located the cache. I took the TB to move it along.

Found it..and TB in..

Found on our walk to Mon repos. Tftc.

Found as no. 2 with DonWCpot

Greetings from Devon, UK. An early evening walk here after a quiet day resting from our travels. Met a local cacher who was very friendly & helpful, many thanks for your guidance. As the bugs had found us we decided to head back to the camp site after logging this one. Clever hide. Pity we could not continue the track.

Found with Vanzy5. TFTC
