Fruit Run No. 11 Thulimbah, Queensland, Australia
By Team Robins on 09-May-11. Waypoint GC2VWYP

Found it

We woke today to quite cool and foggy morning so we decided to wait around for things to warm up a bit.It was then we received a phone call from a family member traveling south that they were heading through Stanthorpe and would we like to catch up for a coffee. We never pass up the opportunity to catch up with family so it was on! They suggested we meet at a place in Thulimah, and we duly did.This set the agenda for the day. We decided afterwards to head further north up to Dalveen before working our way back home along the Fruit Run. It was only about halfway through the series we realized that there were fruit stalls all along the route, some open but many obviously no longer operational. We guess a new highway finished many of them!We collected a few other caches along the way as well.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Team Robins.**SKI Pair****

Missed out. Getting dark.

DNF.

Found and signed Log full Needs replacement Thanks The madmyers

Thanks! Log is full. Well done!

It's a bit like winter today. Light rain and the windy has a chill to it. Still were are out and about geoing. It's better than sitting in the van. Found it. Tftc

Nice simple cache thank you

It was time to turn that frown upside down... Second time lucky! No lurgy (not Kirby!!) and bit more experience but maybe it's a bit too close to the rail corridor. However, I didn't move the cache, as it isn't mine to move. I'm just glad that I found it - with the assistance of my Geohubby! TFTC!

Thank you for the fun hunt

Tftc.. same place just a tiny bit harder.

Got it. TFTC

Good, but late, start to today's adventure. Hat Trick ... three for three. An easy find today.

Took nothing.
Left a little toy.
Signed log.

After camping the night at Storm King Dam we are making our way back home, taking the scenic route. Another one found on our travels.

Train day today, so had to drive down for check in at Stanthorpe station. Bonus is that we get to cache for the day. Fruit Run still needs some work, so that was part of the plan. And the WhereIGo.

Log filling up, but room to sign.

Current reviewer would not allow this cache as it is too close to the railway line/corridor

Took us a while. TFTC

Took a little while to find the right location but all snug and good.

Not so easy

Thank you for another great cache.

Out geocaching today with Magpie Cottage and Wandering Me. Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment Team Robins

Kudos to Mr Wandering Me for the find.

Took a bit to find this one. Trust my Geo instincts... Tftc

Recently deciding to tackle the Apple art, a group of us got our heads together to solve all of the puzzles then visit the area to collect the wonderful caches between Warwick and Stanthorpe.
Our group of CHAMAD, NayFee, Triple Turmoil and myself had a fantastic weekend finding heaps of caches, we signed the logs Team TWOCAN.
Thank you to all of the COs who have spent time placing and maintaining these caches for us to enjoy, sincerely appreciated.
Thanks Team Robins for bringing us here.

I have just had the best weekend caching around the Warwick, Summit and Stanthorpe areas. With caching buddies (geonayfee, Willis007 and Triple Turmoil) for the weekend we got in a very large number of caches, completing the apple geoart, the fruit run and a few other special caches along the way. I had a fantastic weekend with lots of laughs and funny events it just made for a fun time; the puzzle solving in the lead up to the weekend was great also.

A big thanks to all the CO’s of the caches along the way; for placing and maintaining the caches for us to enjoy. Visiting this area and seeing places I would never see in a normal trip here was enlightening, so again thanks.

In the weekend I got around 180 caches so firstly apologies for the generic part to the log, I do not remember all specifically but some did stand out so I will add a little to those in my posts.

Day two and it was an early start, there is so much still to get in the area. A fun and eventful day in many ways, lol. As we started to work our way back home it was a matter of zigzagging and back tracking the caches to Warwick. The fruit run series we were setting our sites on to complete, most were easy finds, with just a couple we did not find, then there was the a few others as we passed by, thanks.

Day two on our epic journey around Stanthorpe and surrounds with Chamad, TripleTurmoil and Willis007.

After some much needed rest we woke up bright and early (Thanks Chamad for the farmyard sounds) and set off for another full day of caching around Stanthorpe to clear up the rest of the Stanthorpe Apple and a few other caches in between, then we slowly made our way back north towards Warwick while grabbing a bunch of caches we didn't get yesterday.

Same as yesterday we had a wonderful time exploring the area. I really enjoy visiting this part of the world, it's a great feeling to get out of the city and enjoy the country life.

Thank you to each and every CO for placing caches at these locations. We had a great time.

After meeting Willis007 and Chamad at a previous event over New Years, they invited me to join them on an epic geoart mission at Stanthorpe. After weeks of puzzling and planning, today was day 2 (together with Nayfee). We covered a lot of mileage, had a lot of laughs and learnt a lot along the way.

Between Stanthorpe and Warwick (on our way back to Brisbane) there are a LOT of caches to sign and we did a pretty good job of getting every single one we could - signed as Twocan to save 25 seconds of signing at each cache, as we had work to do!

Had a DNF on this one a while back. Nice to turn the frown upside down.
Found 5 metres from where our GPS wanted us to look.

Found - coords a bit out but easy find!

Left a trackable.

In good condition

Tftc Team Robins, easy one, enjoying our drive on the back roads

Found!

Thanks

Day 3 of our Granite Belt Grabathon saw us heading North back to the GC. At least today is not wet! The temperature may reach 13 degrees today but the wind is stronger so probably still an apparent temperature of around 6 degrees. No one ever said the Geocaching was meant to be easy!

TFTC Team Robins

Thanks.

Thanks

Took a little while this one but the hints helped Thanks!

This one confounded is for a while, then Ms W found it while looking for pine cones for the fire tonight

There are times when Mother Nature provides exactly what you need. There are other times when she takes it away. I don’t know where Father Nature is in all this. At times it seems he is too busy at the pub to care. tftc

Early morning caching run before heading back to brisbane

Tftc

Yes, it was an easy find close to the railway line.
Some are easier than others and I had this one in hand in just a few minutes.
Late logging...found 17/3/2020.
We appreciate the effort put into placing and maintaining these caches for us to enjoy.

Kestal and I headed south from Toowoomba on a numbers grab for her next milestone...a total of 57 required...it was a case of see how we go as to whether the numbers would add up today to accomplish her own personal challenge or another trip would be required. There were quite a few on her list that I had already found but I was happy to play chauffeur so she could accomplish her goal. By 11am we were surprised how well we were doing and decided to go for the "big one". A fun day was had and my thanks goes to you for the part you played...apologies for the generic log. TFTC Team Robins

Eskies5 and I planned a trip to Stanthorpe and surrounding areas to nudge me a little closer to a milestone. This was the fourteenth stop of what would be 58 finds for the day for me. Found this cache at 8:45am with not a problem. All signed and returned. TFTC

Out for a day's caching from Stanthorpe to Dalveen and beyond, most were easy finds while a couple took a bit of searching to find

It was a good caching day today and we picked up some more smiley faces for our map, along with ilook4geo. We found more caches in a few different series and only had one DNF to spoil the day. Each of the caches had the log signed, usually as GP2 and ilg. Each container was then put back into place as it had been found. Our thanks go to Team Robins for placing this cache and adding to the fun of the game.

Caching along mostly very quiet country roads today with goingplaces2 gave a really good result for the day. Logs were signed, caches were put back and we were soon headed off to the next find. Thanks for this cache.

Nice find on a quiet road. TFTC

Our last here at Stanthorpe befotre heading down to Queanbeyan for the 2019 Mega. It has been great, but with mixed success. Didn't achieve as much of the Stan's Apple puzzle series smileys as we would have hoped but we will pass this way again and will pickup and redo those ones that we missed. Reasonably quiet road and not too far to walk into the gz. Another smiley to us.

Easy for her mama to find and then give her clues to find it herself ^_^

Our first on the run this morning a nice quick find. All good here. TFTC

No luck here today

TFTC

Sorry for the generic logs but there are so many caches in this area and there are only so many things you can write. We have loved caching our way here and around the area. We are only here for a day or two so not sure how many will will get done, but we will do our best. Thank you to each and every CO for the effort that has been needed to place and maintain the caches that we were fortunate enough to make it to. Thanks.

Bit of a tricky 1 but finally found

Today is the last big day of caching in the Stanthorpe area as I will have finished collecting the new souvenirs. Many thanks to Pa for putting up with my crazy addiction to caching, and souvenirs, and for chauffeuring me around for hundreds of kms. Maybe our holiday will start now.
Decided to travel north on the back roads as neither of us fancy pulling up on the highway. We found most of those we tried for with only 2 DNFs and 28 smilies. Most caches were in good condition, in fact a few had lovely new logs! I had never been to this area before so seeing the Rabbit Proof fence here was a highlight.
Thanks to all the COs and Maintenance teams for the caches along the way. All logs were either signed Smittengranny or SG depending on my mood, the time taken to retrieve the cache and the space available for signing.

Out on a day caching in the area, and this is one I chose to do ... TNLN ... TFTC

Quick find! Tftc

2clogs found it going to find the next ones

TFTC! That one did my head in. Compass jumping around everywhere. Sheer determination got me this find. It was an ahaaa moment and that flamin obvious.

After calling our son to wish him Happy Birthday we made a quick find & were on our way. Kutgw

Sometimes it's just about the numbers and this run was for that and if course the planetary souvenirs. I truly admire those that have done 100 or more, we were exhausted after just over 50 but that gets us half way there. We still enjoyed the driving and looking on the back roads and thank you for your effort in putting them there for us to do this run. TFTC

Thanks for the cache Team Robins
We are staying overnight in Stanthorpe and decided this was a good day to do the fruit run series and any others that may cross our path
Thanks for showing us a bit of Stanthorpe and the surrounds
Just watch out for barb wire as someone went for a face plant!!

GPS didn’t want to play ball on this one but we preserved & found it. Glad we could LOG it.

Left a monkey . Enjoy!

another easy find. TFTC
