We stopped off for an ice cream at the servo and I took a stroll but have to join the list of others who couldn't find a cache there.

we came here two days in a row ... yesterday we looked for the cache but with no luck. passing there again today ... maybe he's back ? but no, no cache to find. Instead we went in at the roadhouse and had a bite and drink Smile.

Is this one missing? Not a lot of possibilities to hide it elsewhere ....

This day, klettercache and me were driving our rental car from lovely Hervey Bay to Agnes Water, North of Bundaberg. As I knew, that there are only few caches around our final destination of this day, we tried to get some more caches in the South.

We stopped near Hervey Bay several times and unfortunately, due to the many motor starts after finding caches, the battery of the car got very low. We needed to call the road assistance so that we get some help. Unfortunately, I could not tell them the exact raod that I was driving but of course I could provide exact coordinates of the location, where the battery failed.

For reasons that I still do not understand, they did not want to have the coordinates, though they would have been describing my location by a precision of approximately 1m. Te guy insisted in getting the road information and so it was quite a long discussion until we found out where I can be picked up.

After this incident, I did not stop the engine while searching for caches. So, if in any case you have seen a white car with running motor next to a cache around Bundaberg, please do not fingerpoint on the driver. There was a real need to have the motor running while searching the plastic....

At this location, we had to keep the engine running. But we could locate the cache very easy and the engine did not have to run too long.

Thanks for hiding this cache and for keeping it in good condition.

On our way to 1770 we stopped at this place without knowing About the cache. Campsites in 1770 were fully booked so we had to turn back. Use the free Wifi from Agnes library to download Some local caches. On the way back we stopped again, had Some food and found the cache.

1500kms, 19 caches (17 found), a little over 48 hours, one 18th birthday party and two stiff backs from the driving. Yep, that's a good weekend.

Drive by on the way to 1770, makes me wonder what the workers in the roadhouse are thinking when people pull up, wander over, and the wander back and leave with no reference to their wares. Coords for me were somewhat off - they had me part way between rock and tree, and so the description was somewhat misleading for me. But there are only a few spots to check and so I quickly unearthed what I was looking for.

Thanks for placing this cache, Kevlyn. Found in good condition.
Cool Check out www.facebook.com/groups/geocachingCQ: The online home of geocaching in Central Queensland. Cool
