Didnt find looked for ages in fence posts, under and over a lot. No luck JonoT1 and myself went for a drive to find the gate keepers. Lovely drive good cache
Plenty of safe parking here and a quick find thanks to the previous finder’s comment to ignore the hint. All good with the cache. Tftc
Lovely Sunday drive - even tho is is only Saturday morning! Out with muggle sister, showing her the back way into the Granite Belt.
We had already started the Pike series a few weeks ago, so started at #7 then continued...
Knocking on St Peter's Gate, and after two previous DNF, we found this one, but not as per the clue.
Thanks AussieLiahona

On our way to Stanthorpe we found this cache and had a quick lunch break in this beautiful spot. Tftc Aussie Liahona
After a long anticipated 4 day hike in NSW, that was originally planned for this week, had to be abandoned because of the border closures, Crookedpete, JezNDez and I rearranged the week to start with a hike along the Stretcher Track and end with an extended weekend hiking in Giraween.
Leaving Brisbane early Friday morning to avoid any peak hour traffic, our first stop was for coffee and some breakfast in Warwick before heading on towards Stanthorpe.
Back in 2015 Crookedpete and I, in company with Swellerfungus, ventured down this road in search of the myriad of cached that used to be littered along here but this was not one of the ones I targeted on that occasion. In preparation for this trip I noted that it had been over 12 months since the last find here so I made sure that it was added to our itinerary. A short search of the area and were soon signing our names in the logbook. TFTC

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 Aussie Liahona 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.

Oh, so sorry. I hadn’t caught up with the fact that this had 2 DNFs before today. We shall disable it and try to replace it asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.
After finding the first one in the series, we thought we might be lucky with this one too but no luck for us today.
Thanks

Retrieved with bush tool assistance only to find the log a pulpy mess. A very small bit of paper had been added, but very limited numbers would be able to record their names. Have replaced log with official gc waterproof log. Tftc & the series xo
I headed down today to find a big bunch of caches and this one was included.
I found the cache and signed the log. TFTC

This morning we started caching at the junction of the Newell Highway and Pikedale Road and during the day, we gradually worked our way south into Palgrave Road, Loloma Road and Mount Janet Road. We started at about 8:45am and finished the caches on our list as the sun set. We enjoyed the variety of caches and the scenery along the way.
Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Aussie Liahona for the cache and the series.

A wonderful weekend away in Stanthorpe resulting in 374 finds, including 22 mystery (Stanthorpe Apple) and 1 Earthe cache. I hoped to log each individually as I usually would but the tyranny of time prevents me from continuing to try and achieve this goal. A big thank you to all the Stanthorpe CO's. We said many times we wish we had more consolidated trails in Brisbane. TFTC
This one is a tight squeeze - if the tree grows much more it might just get stuck!
Off on a trip up North we decided to do some speed caching, managed to bag some 254 over the weekend. A great time away although short really enjoyed the caches and naturally the area.
Many thanks to Aussie Liahona for the cache TNLN TFTC SL.

For weeks now Geocaching.com has been telling us all to go out and make the most of the extra day this year and for weeks I figured because it was a Monday I'd be at work so I'd make a few finds in the early hours of the morning then try my best to attend two, if not all three of the events being held on the Gold Coast today.
But then I had a thought about heading out here to try my luck at the popular 200 in a day challenge some cachers do. I managed to convince my beautiful wife that it was an excellent idea and before long it was all systems go. Sunday was crazy, I spent the morning organising what I needed to take and piled it into the car that I would call home for roughly 48 hours.
I was wide awake just before 1am. After filling the tank with petty, plus a jerry can just encase and a hot coffee for me I was soon driving down the dirt road dodging rabbit's and wallaby's. I'm still not entirely sure how many I found today. I do know it was well over 200 and possibly over 300 but I'm still logging. I managed to visit every cache on the power trail below the cache called Glowing which took me 12 and a half hours to complete. By which time I was pretty knacked to say the least. I headed back into town then had a very welcoming bush shower and a well deserved coldie and hot chips.
Surprisingly I felt great, refreshed even. I didn't even feel tired, a little sore from climbing in and out of the car all day but otherwise great. I thought bugger it, so I flew up to the top end of the power trails for some more. I didn't fully complete everything up there either but I managed to pick off a few odd ones here and there along the way as well plus the other short trail. By the time I found a rest stop to curl up into the fetal position for the night on the back seat, it was close to 11.
A few hours short of the 24 available but I was done. I had an absolute blast today, sure I probably can't remember every hide off the top of my head now but it was the best fun I've had caching in a long time. I reckon everyone should have a crack at finding as many as they can in a day. I loved the Rabbit Fence Rd, it's so peaceful out there. I think 3 cars past me all day. It's a beautiful part of the world that I'd be happy to come back and visit any time.
I wanted to visit Quart Pot creek before I left so in the morning I headed down for a few more finds and some exploring. I stopped in to have another look at one I couldn't find last night but it is definitely gone. Then hit the highway for the Goldie.
I truly did have a blast today. That's two mad caching visits to Stanthorpe now for me. Hopefully next time I can stay longer and maybe relax a little...na probably not.
My apologies for the cut and paste logs but it by no means reflects the caches or hides, it would just take me forever to do what I normally do. Appreciate the initial planning, buying, deploying and the up keep the CO's do out here. Well done, I thank you all.
Oh and I signed with mm29 on all logs today to save time, seconds count in this type of behaviour after all. Sometimes it was under the last finder and sometimes it was a clear space I saw when I flicked through the log.
Thanx again

We set aside today to challenge ourselves to find at least 150 caches in a day. Before last Mega in Stanthorpe, we had cleared the middle section of the AS Series, so this challenge meant starting at the bottom, then later moving to the top section, then back down the highway towards Stanthorpe until our target was reached. Apologies for this generic log: unless noted below the caches were in good order and available for future hunters - in some cases this meant stopping awhile longer to replace a log, and/or clean out the cache.
(Replaced log and bag with the assistance of DiamonJS)
Found at 8:36am on 8th December, 2015. TFTC.

I had driven down from Brisbane for a quick day out caching. The idea to grab as many as i can along the power trails here. The day turned into a mission, with my GPS deciding to impersonate a brick, leaving me to use the phone, so lots of missed caches and backtracking. Great day out, lots of caches, sun, Kangaroos, sun, other flora, sun and more caches. Thanks for putting in the trail.
We are back for the 3rd and final day of this trip to find some of the Caches on these power trails. Thanks to all the CO's for the tremendous efforts in creating them. Well done. We apologise again for the generic logs.
Ah a power trail, this is what we are here for , to test a Router out, we ended with 126 caches found, 1 DNF in 6hrs 22minutes we started first cache in hand at 8.40am and the last cache was at 3.02pm
So sorry this log is cut and paste but we remember every cache
Thanx heaps to all cache placers, fine effort by all
we will be back

A target of 200 finds for the day meant an early start so we were up at 3:30am. Crookedpete, Seffnjarah and I got to our first cache by 4:25 on the A.S trail. We finished the day after 11 hours of caching with some interesting Stats:
270 finds including all of the A.S. Trail
3 DNF’s (Due to grading of the roadside that has taken a few trees away)
2 finds with three DNF’s on them before us (they are always nice to get!)
1Challenge puzzle completed.
My 2000th find somewhere along the way (but I don’t actually know which one)
And my favourite stat: 39 finds in 60 minutes – boy did we hoof it! Fun, Fun Fun!
Now for the caveat, as I know my partners in crime will no doubt mention in their logs, I did not manage to get to look for every cache! Well actually very few……ok….I only actually found 2 myself. You see I was the designated driver for the day. After some knee surgery 4 weeks ago, and only starting weight bearing again 2 days prior, the plan was hatched that I would happily drive for the day if my friends would add my name to the caches as we found them. They tell me that they did actually put my name in the log, but I am dubious.
I swear I will never attempt another power trail, as they are simply not my thing….but I am glad I have done it once so my thanks to the CO’s for their efforts. That must be a lot of work to maintain!
Thanks also to my partners in crime – sterling effort!

I have wanted to take a crack at a power trail for a while. My crazy companions today, SwellerFungus and SeffnJarah were really only lukewarm on the idea. But then a knee operation sidelined Fungus and he hit upon the idea of a power trail road trip, where he did the driving and Seff and I did all the hard work finding the caches .....as always.
An early start on a brisk Stanthorpe morning had the first cache in hand in the dark at 04:23. With a couple of hours break for lunch and 11 hours on the trail, I finished up before dark with 277 finds and 3 DNF's. A good dozen or so caches along the way really tested our finding abilities (ie Fungus actually stopped the car engine and joined the search) - mostly where overzealous road works had changed the landscape.
Highlights of the day included seeing the sun rise (and later set) over a foggy valley, finishing the entire A.S. Series in a day, signing a cache every 1 min 33 seconds to grab a huge 39 in an hour and mostly the endless banter and leg pulling with my companions (power trails would be dull without it!).
Many thanks to all the cache owners for their efforts in placing and maintaining this huge trail of caches, and particularly thanks to Aussie Liahona for placing and maintaining this cache.

Thank you to the masters of these series of caches for their diligence and thoughtfulness in giving visitors to this region a vast number of little (and not so little) gems to discover and the opportunity to see so much countryside which quite possibly could never have been seen except to a very select number of passers-by.
Shockers were very aware of the beautiful sunburnt countryside as they travelled along the forest tracks.
Thanks to all involved in being Cos for these caches. Please excuse the generic comments as so many of these caches were discovered that it would take a month of Sundays to record separate notes on each one. Suffice to say they all had aspects of real inventiveness.

Today we did some post Mega caching finding 88 caches. Our aim was to finish the A.S.series and associated caches along the way.
We appreciate the time and effort gone into placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.
Day twelve is the last day we spent in the Stanthorpe region. First was the fruit run then finishing off the A.S. series. The rest of the day was spent collecting the left over caches that in fact took us to some of the more amazing places on this trip. Thanks.

A desperate dash to do them all in two days produced lots of fun and adrenalin. Cache found quickly after a short search but without significant difficulty. TNLNSL TFTC

Visiting QLD from Central Coast NSW, and attending the Stanthorpe MEGA EVENT for about a week. Camping at the showground, caching days done mainly with SpikeyMikey, meeting up with members of CCG, HAVOC, and others from all over Australia.
Many thanks to all responsible for a smooth operating event, my first Mega, and first visit to Stanthorpe. Plenty of reasons for a near future visit
Whilest it did rain and drizzle almost every day, I much preferred this over hot days, which is what I encounted on the Gold Coast return journey, as well as a repeated bout of coughing with the flu on the long drive home.
Great Puzzles, Power Trails, landscapes, History, Apples!, and company. Politeness and respect by all
Many Personal records smashed this weekend First MEGA, Finds per day, Altitude, etc

Most of attempted caches were found and a good day, with about 100 finds, was had.

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!

We enjoyed our drive along the back roads to find these caches, seeing some great countryside, beaut hides, lots of laughs and no DNFs.
Many thanks for the cache.

Back on the trail with Haveanez to pick up some more easy numbers so they could log the Mega as their 4000 milestone.
This time starting on the tail end and working our way backwards.
Had some fun with some racing from the car to cache to make the finds between myself and Big Ez.
Ez boys loved the wider open spaces down this part of the trail, and we were all thankful there was less of the tick infested scrub to push through.
Thanks to the Granite Belt Cachers for placing and maintaining all the caches for everyone to enjoy.

It's Ozmega 2015 time and I found this cache on my four and a half day weekend. Woohoo
Out with the junior geocacher and Gis+Ger today with an another attack on the AS & animal series. A much nicer day but very slippery roads but we were still able to grab a good number of various caches. We have had an enjoyable day.

MEGA was on so decided it might be a good idea to find some caches. "Some" ended up turning into a few hundred... the most exhausting experience.
Started in the city and pooh corner, ended up leaving a little late for Stanthorpe. Fun weekend, managed to get pushed into swimming across water a few times and finishing off some rum.

We decided that we would head off to tackle the A.S. series along with any other caches we came across enroute. Thanks Aussie Liahona for your cache, which added to our fun.

Out and about with iluvtrekking and a 'delightful?' whirling dervish otherwise known as KB. Boy did she keep us on our toes at an unrelenting pace - her narratives were just as expansive! Although a very wet day we managed to Aussie Liahona.

We found this cache while over in Stanthorpe for the Aussie mega. A super wonderful time, and super wonderful caches!! Thanks to all the COs, and event organisers! We had a blast!!
Second day, and we decided to see how many we could do. Ended up with about 202 I think it was - yay! Best day ever! And that wasn't even a full day, as we needed to be back in time for the markets at 2pm, to advertise the NZ mega - so a half day only really.
Left at 6am, together with Karma Reprint.
We signed almost every log as 'Team Polak' over this trip which consists of hinemoana, sonia26642, /dev/gc0c, and tunfisk - to save time, our hands from overuse, and the logsheets
But on this trail, we signed as TP + KR. Even shorter!
Consec caching day # 891
TFTC!!

Having a great time at mega, camped onsite...caching with robbieracer66 and Grub Fred....tftc Aussie Liahona
Managed to get across the rough road. Missed a heap of roos and found a cache or two as well as heap of mud puddles.
I thought there was only one gate St Peter looked after. But it seems I was wrong there are in fact at least 4. TFTC
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
I like it
Another one of the list

A fun day out finding caches with kiwi-nomad and bullertrout while attending the MEGA.
Many thanks for all the placements [^]

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 Cats&Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vamber and Yorkshirekiwi83 (signing our logs as "CAVVY" to save time and log space.) Our main focus of the day was the power trails between Stanthorpe and Warwick. We left Stanthorpe at dawn and drove straight to Warwick, then slowly made our way south again through the power trails. It was a long day out caching, where we found over 300 caches! Apologies for the copy and paste logs, but its hard to remember them all! TFTC!

team T.I.N.S out for a long days caching, and hopefully to break some personal records. tftc
Out and about with Bullertrout and ADV exploring some of the tracks and trails around the Mega
Cats and Dragons, Alpenmilch80, Vamber, Vistra and I (we signed as CAVVY) decided to tackle the powertrails north of the mega today, sorry these logs will be very generic for the trails as we found over 300 today. Nice easy find, TFTC

On route to find 60 today to achieve 5000 finds for La Kedi. Thanks Aussie Liahona.
Together with the New Zealand crew which included Cats&Dragons, vamber, vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 (signed logs as CAVVY) we headed out early in the morning to get those power trails plastered with a lot of smiley’s. It took us around 9h working well together to get those awesome trails done. TFTC
Found as part of a very big caching day in conjunction with YorkshireKiwi83, VISTRA, Vamber, Alpenmilch80 signing the logs as CAVVY (to save space).
Shame about the weather but the caching was a whole lot of fun with adventures and trash talk along the way.
Thank you to all the cache owners that put these together for us to enjoy while at the OZ MEGA 2015, as NZer's we certainly did appreciate them.
So again thank you for the FUN of the hunt

The finding of this one was easier than the retrieval, but The Marble managed to finagle it out of its hiding place. TFTC, Aussie Liahona. =^.^=
Out caching with Kiwi Nomad and ADV. Enjoyed doing all the caches that we found.

Found whilst attending Easter Mega at Stanthorpe Qld. Out with Team T.I.N.S. for a really enjoyable day - thanks guys! SL.TFTC!
LCBuilder and I are over from NZ staying in Brisbane and came to Stanthorpe for the MEGA event. We tried to get this whole string of caches in a day to make for our "Most caches in a day" stat. Started early at 5am, most of them were found within seconds with only a couple DNFs. Unfortunately we got a flat tyre about half way through and had to abandon our plan with only the space saver to get us off the gravel roads. To our surprise we managed to find a place to fix the tyre (On Good Friday!), and then off we went, back to the power tail. Couldn't get them all though, with night closing in and the danger of hitting a kangaroo too high, we went back to our tent happy with ~240 finds TFTC
