Turtle Trail - Where sea-eagles soar Burnett Heads, Queensland, Australia
By Ozibags on 20-Mar-11. Waypoint GC2QJ22

This is the second time the cache has been muggled so the perpetrators have obviously returned to wreak havock. As a consequence I have decided to archive the cache.

Noticed there had been some DNFs on this one lately so thought I would check it out as we found this one may last year. Sorry to say the cache isn't in the place it was when we found it last year, so it's either been moved or muggled.

Went here again today and after about 30 minutes gave it away couldnt find it even after many hints given, never saw a rock that looked like the ones Devildog had

Hasn't been found possibly gone

Glad to see this cache has survived the floods. Please can someone tell me if my little Norman TB is still there? He has conflicting logs. (sounds painful!) I would like to see him on the move again. Thanks, Edna

a little pushed for time couldn't find it looked from burnett heads side wasn't sure whether to stay high on the rocks or go down to the turtle pools anyway good hide hope we find it next time round

No eagles today. Very windy, nearly got blown away. Couldnt find the cache. maybe the gps was out with the strong wind coming off the ocean. i will try another day. very nice spot.

Nearly gave up on this one and then much to us3scouts relief laid hands on the cache. Terrific area TFTC Ozibags.

Oh we had to work for this one. Took a little while to find. I felt a little like a goat as I climbed all over the rocks. Clever seirra1 beat me to discovering this one. I do like your work, Ozibags. Great cache! There is a great ocean view here too. TFTC Ozibags.

It's back..... and a TB added.

Checked it today and it's gone missing. I'll disable until I can replace it! Apologies to those who spent some time trying to find it.

We spent waaay to long trying to find this cache. After searching every rock we could see within a 20 metre radius of the GZ for an hour, until every rock started to look the same, the three of us were burnt, hot & thirsty. It was a long dejected 600 metre walk back to the aircon comfort of the car. We were over rocks that much that we skipped any other caches involving rocks today. We will try again another day when we have our "rock" eyes on. That's 2 to Ozibags. Too good for us today.

We looked and looked and looked! We picked up every rock we could get our hands on and still nothing! Even with sunscreen I think I'm burnt! I give up! 1 point to you ozibags... I'll be back again soon...

A day of discovering more of the scenic areas surrounding Bundaberg. We loved the views of the sea, the tropical plants and tranquil scenery. The caches have been so creative and well maintained and both fun and challenging to find. Took a little while to spot the right one besides plenty of lovely scenery to enjoy as well. No eagles today.
Thanks to Ozibags.

easy find tftc

Bethden found this very cleverly hidden cache. I am coming to expect this with caches by Ozibags. Well done again!
Took the path tag and the Travel Bug.
Left a fridge magnet in shape of Australia with thermometer attached. TFTC

Dipping TB's

Fantastic! Thanks Ozibags for all the work you have put into this cache. It certainly makes for interesting and challenging caching. A favourite from me. Took TB left TB

Decided to do the turtle trail today the first day we have had sunshine for a week. We started at the northern end and this was the first on the list. spent quiet some time looking but could not come up with a find. Went further south and found some others,one of them an ozibags cache which gave us a clue to this one. Coming back decided to have another go and after checking many spots finally came up with the correct one another sneaky ozibags hide TFTC.

Dropped TB.

A bit embarassed about this one. After I had searched for ages last time, my wife, who is not into geocaching, came up with the goods in 15 mins. What a great cameo job, well done. Thanks Ozibags.

We were looking at it for a few seconds before we realized that was it. Dropped off TB. TFTC.

Jase had headed back to get the car to meet us further on whilst I continued along the turtle trail with the kids. With the wind behind us the 600m walk was very easy Once I spotted the little track I parked up the pram as little Tyler was having a snooze. Dylan and I wandered down to the rocks and began the search.

I was using my smartphone and it was 'having a moment' being stuck on 6m whilst I walked around in circles until I noticed something just a little different After signing the log and replacing 'container' I noticed the smartphone had finally smartened up its act and was on 0m

Thanks for another great container Ozibags, never know what to expect around this neck of the woods [^]

Nice camo tftc

Out for a early morning bike ride, oh and what a beautiful morning it was sitting on the rocks watching the waves roll in .

Another find on the Turtle Trail out with Aussiemates. Nice container. Grabbed TB. TFTC

Walked up from Sharkies Cache to locate this one. What a great container. It's nice to something out of the ordinary. The weather was a bit too wild for sea eagles today. Thanks Ozibags

Dropped TB

Nice container.....tftc

We enjoyed the stroll and actually saw the resident sea eagle out hunting.

Had a bit of luck finding the cache. It was well hidden. Thanks Ozibags.

No luck, think cache is missing.

Didn't find it, not sure if we were looking in the right place ...

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

Found with Bedmaker, Agap2 & Pigwig2.
Very nice job on the container. Lovely walk to GZ and we spent a bit of time in the area checking out the rock pool.

On the hunt today with TassieGirl, Agap and Pigwig while in town for the events this weekend.
Another great cache container and a fantastic spot to have it.
We where a tad envious of the houses nearby.
Saw a few boats out in the ocean and watched them for a while.
Unfortunatly no sea eagles today.
TFTC.

Found this one while out with Mr Gap; Tassie Girl and Bedmaker for the day. Whille the others were seaching close by I popped down the rocks and quickly had this one in hand, probably helps that I have a cache similar to this at home TFTC nice area for a hide

Found it while out with youngoldfella today....

Really like the views from along this area of the coast...

TNLNSL

Thanks Ozibags for the cache..

A great walk along a great stretch of coast to a great cache hide. Glad that Fangsoki had sunscreen in the car for Gaz'n'Kab and I before we set off though. Very tempting today to go for a swim, and I wonder how much the land some of these houses are on is worth. TFTC, and a favourite for me.

A nice quick find (luckily) and an absolutely amazing spot here! A nice walk to GZ, and the log was soon signed

TFTC Ozibags, great work!

Gaz'n'Kab

Searched for quite a while before Ms Wig managed to spot this well hidden cache. Wow, we were impressed with this one!!

We then wandered down to the rock pool and discovered some bouncy rocks.

Probably my favourite cache for the day, great container, great spot, great walk there, all round good!! thanks Ozibags

This one was one of my favourites for the day. We enjoyed the walk into this one (was happy I had donned sunscreen today!). GZ was very picturesque and idyllic. We located the cache after a small hunt. It was in good condition. Good job, Ozibags - TFTC

Found it No. 4035 ... great container ... TNLN ... TFTC Ozibags

No vehicular access to the cache despite what Google Maps suggest. Didn’t have enough daylight left to walk it.
Thanks anyway.

5 for the day 102 cache for my trip around Aust
this one was a bit harder to find but when u looking in all the place u can see look in the other places and u should find it

Spent way too much time on this one, over two hours, and still came up empty handed. As this was the first one on the Turtle Trail I hoped things would change.

Found with devildog3

Dropped TB

Dipped a TB.

Had a few muggles to wait for while looking for this one but as soon as they were gone we had it in hand. Took boomerang left magnet. TFTC

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Loved it - very clever and have made it a favourite. Took the TB & left a soldier. TFTC

No taipan today!! Found cache in a very clever hide!! One of our favourite caches so left special TB. TFTC.

not found due to a taipan on path so decided to give it a wide berth

We were on our way back for a second look, but were told about a taipan on the track. Needless to say we didn't venture further.

Had limited time to look for this one today. Using a phone for gps doesn't help. And it isn't an iphone, so even more challenging...
We will be back coz we were right on top of it I am sure... another 10 mins and we might have had it. It sure is annoying to be limited to certain times (due to having to pick up family members from work) for searching.

Great hide! The view was beautiful!

Daddy AG found this one and was really excited about it!(because it is one of the rare caches he finds!)

Daddy AG thought he saw a penguin (but it was a bird!)

TFTC

AWESOME CACHE! Xnjester told me to look in where it was. I did and couldn't see it. He looked in and pulled it out... SWEET! TFTC

This was our fifth ever find, we all start somewhere. It took Dad (me) and two boys (11 & 14) 10-15 minutes to find due to the quality of the cache and the inaccuracy of using a mobile phone as the GPS device. This is a very well-placed cache.

I'm tempted to rate it 5, but I haven't got a lot to compare it to yet. But it's a very solid 4 and possibly a 5.

Took a whistle, left a wire puzzle.

TFTC Ozibags.

Ozibags i like your work.............i was fooled but junior snippyhippy wasn't, there was a great deal of thought and cunning here well done, this would have to be my most favourite find so far. TNLN TFTC

Another great camo job
Thanks Ozibags

After failing two out of the previous hides on the turtle trail, I was determined to find this one, but after over half hour searching I had to give it up. I don't understand the clue Nd I did not see anything out of the normal, I must have picked up every rock, I'm beginning to think cache owner don't want this one found.

It took Mr Bushies2 a while, looked at the holes and rocks, then he noticed something different so he touched it and he laughed, what a great cache! Well done! Thanks Ozibags for the brilliant cache.

Found after looking around for a while, I must have looked past the cache a couple of times, but then geowife touched something with her walking stick and thought it seemed different and YES there it was. Great cache and it seems like a bit of time went into it.

Our 5155th overall find.

This took a little bit to spot but once I thought about it, no worries at all. I loved the pools near here. With the breaking waves it would be very nice to sit and relax here for a bit.

Thanks to Ozibags for the cache.

Found this one at 1415. What an amazing place. When I saw the arae I thought that this could be a quick search or a very long one. GPSr had me at GZ and it was only a process of elimination and had container quickly in hand. Love the container camo. Ozibags really spent some time on this one. TNLNSL TFTC Ozibags

Find No.7 for the day. Has to be the best camo cache I have come across so far, brilliant. Took hippo ornament, left legoman. Saw 2 sea eagles out to find their lunch, magestic creatures they are. Cheers...

Ahhh, nice camouflage Mr bags . Took us a while to locate this one. So many places to hide a cache. Didn't check them all, just most [B)]. TN/LN/SL

Nice hide, John. No eagles soaring today though.
Still enjoying the pedal along the track.

Nice hide looks like a great place to check out the rock pools.
First find with works new iphone

Spotted this new cache published just as we were off to bed. So just after 6 am today found us wandering along the 'Turtle Trail' among the early morning jogging muggles. What a beautiful sunrise.No eagles soaring yet! Found GZ area and after a bit of searching,scrabbling and thinking of how 'devious' Ozibags can be with his hides, Bill spotted the cache. YAY! FTF..... Thanks Ozibags for an interesting find. Well done!! Took FTF tag and left bracelet. [^]
