Mingo Crossing Mingo, Queensland, Australia

Out caching with KabbellaQld quick easy find Tftc

Out for the day with ToucanKB, exploring the area and signing as KATO. We were admiring the caravan park and Paradise Dam views (great breeze here, hope the dam gets returned to its previous height) when we realised there was a cache nearby. Unfortunately, signal issues meant that we had access to limited information and didn't realise until afterwards that the description says the fence is across public land. Feel uneasy crossing any fences as many old roads have been leased by farmers. Our usual practise is to confirm ownership status on land maps before proceeding but we had insufficient signal for this. Tftc

We are camped up across the water, so I took a boat across to get the cache. Maybe it could have a needs boat attribute also. TFTC.

Got it on a rocky road to nowhere. Entrance to the old road was a bit hard to find. TFTC

looking for someone to adopt this cache

Completing these for a challenge. Lots of nice camping areas around these parts. Going to be living and working in this area for the next 6 months. Nice rivers too.

A weekend trip up to Gladstone and Calliope saw me having some quiet time on an 800-acre property. We got in some 4wd, some walking on some extreme hill climbs, campfire at night and then a few caches as well. It can be hard work trying to convince some people how much fun you have doing this activity, especially if they are not fully open and listening, lol.

On our way home and a few target caches to collect along the way, including a first to find. The stay out signs is not meant to be for cachers, right? They are there for the people who do naughty things I am guessing. Found it with ease.
I signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the hide and bringing me to this area.

Got it thanks

Found it short walk required. It's a shame looks like a nice spot to take the car. Log is wet and needs to be replaced.

Could the next finder please replace the logbook. Thanks

Just a short walk from the barbed wire great spot aroha and happy caching from new zealand

Ignored the signs and drove right up to GZ. Quick find.

We saw this cache with 15 months unlove so we set off on a quest to find it. It appear there has been some recent changes around the GZ, with the addition of a padlocked gate and bared wire fence preventing access to the GZ. We jumped the fence and found the cache.

Thanks Sweet-Sour for the cache.
Found at 4:32 pm on 15/1/22.
Find # 2382

This cache needs to be relocated. Cache no longer in an accessible location with padlocked gate, barbed wire fencing and no access signage. Refer photos.

Still roadworks happening here so we drove on by.

Do not enter signs for bridge? Works

We were unable to access the area because the side road was closed with road works.

Having never visited this popular camping location we travelled from Gayndah to check it out and do the cache. Thanks Sweet-sour

On our way home to Brisbane from Mt Perry and I needed to find my 150th cache. There is was, on the banks of the mighty Burnett River. tfc

Out on a days adventure, nice countryside, tftc

Tftc, I'm from the country,I'm a local and just started caching,really enjoying it great adventuring and sceneries, out and about with my mate mountainman82 had a great Sunday helping him looking  for the caching

Easy find after a casual walk across the bridge from the great camp ground. TFTC.

Made the correct approach and dodged the cowpats to get to GZ. Looks like a really nice little spot and seems popular with the campers and travellers nearby.

TFTC

Have been told about the camp grounds near by so with a cache near I had to have a look. Signed and return the cache.
TFTC

We come here all the time but have never looked for this cache. Great little hide, thanks

Lovely spot at Mingo Crossing.

Easy find,the book needs replacement very wet

Took notice of the previous log and found the easy way in. Had to fight off little black ants but cache easily found. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful place.

Found with wombles and 1MinnieMoo on the return journey of our road trip to Bundy.

Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour

1minniemoo,nyssaflutterby,1giantpanda and I had a weekend away planned, we had to change thing a little at the last minute due to the weather. The weather looked good up this way and it was!
Saying goodbye to Bundy now and on to our return journey, though not in the typical Bundy_brissie fashion of course!

We made this one "snakier" then needed as we approached from the north. We made it safely through though and easily located the cache. Interesting road here.

9/9/18 1:31 pm Find #2093
Pulling up at this one we realised we still needed to go about 100m "in there" - serious snake territory, and not too far after we had seen a Red Bellied Black on the road. That didn't look appealing, so we debated for a little while before NyssaFlutterby said "stuff it!" and exited the car on a mad march through the long grass. Wombles&Co followed and I parked the car a little better before joining them.
Well of course after bushbashing 50m we find a damn "road", don't we, with the cache just on the other side of it. Needless to say we walked back out via what there was of a road, back to the car snake-free.
Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour.

Found while gathering wood. Should have known it would not be a straight drive up and find. Tftc

nice easy find whilst camping at this beautiful spot

Found in the rain with offroadcaveman at four twenty. Found the old road and fence with only one turn-around needed. Last cache for the day. Thanks for the cache sweet sour!

Tricky spotting the old road but it's there. Quick easy find Tftc!

Good find

TFTC camped up for a few days with friends, great spot. Lots of long grass but good to find.

Found on a wet & muggy morning after last night's rain. Cache is dry & all OK. TFTC

TFTC

Found with some difficulty. It is Dry & Returned to the wood heap.TFTC

Camping here for Easter. Had to call over and grab it. Pity it's fenced and grass is so long.

Tftc. Interesting spot. Grass is getting a bit long. First thoughts of snakes. Could see the correct rd through the trees. Being Maundy Thursday heaps of people turning up on the otherside for Easter.

A barbed wire fence could not stop me from getting to this cache.
Enjoyed the drive along this road.
Thank you for this cache

Gps had me walking around in the grass until it settled down. TFTC

I forgot to attach a photo to my log

My mum mnance101 and my sister pinkypie05 went to my grandparents farm for Christmas. TFTC!

My kids and I came to my parents farm at Binjour for Christmas. On a car trip for the day, my son mazza151, my daughter pinkypie05, my muggle parents and myself stopped to do this cache. Wow Mingo Crossing has changed since I was out here over 25 years ago! It was just a grassed area back then. Now it is a caravan park! Great to see. The road out here is a lot better than I remember. TFTC and for bringing us out here!

My mum mnance101 and my brother mazza151 went to my grandparents farm for Christmas. TFTC!

TFTF Log is slightly damp. Would've brought s nap log bag of if thought of it!

Did this the hard way through the long grass. But cache is in fine condition.

Exploring tftc

Thanks sweet - sour. We made the detour because of how long between logs. Cache is ok and log book has dried. Found at 3.30 pm on 3rd June 2015. TFTC.

Found on our way to Gayndah for the night. Perfectly dry conditions for my commando style approach to the cache, easy find, cache nice and dry and in good order. TFTC

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 9: 00 am. The cache now seems to be on private property as we had to climb through a barbed wire fence to get to it. The is in good condition. PM sent to owner. TFTC

All good at cache site. In ok condition. This was a fun cache as wife thought bulls were going chase her. Blokes had a great laugh. Camping area all up and running again. Must come and stay one weekend. Quite a nice place. TCTF TNLN

On the way home we dropped in to find this cache. After finding some inquisitive cattle and scaring one of our cachers we eventually arrived at GZ. Not where I thought the cache was, but found in the end. Cache log dry and container in good shape.

Thanks Sweet-Sour for the cache

My sister, doscrapbooking, and I are heading north looking for caches over the next few days on a road trip.
Today is day 2 of our road trip and we are heading east and south on our return trip.
We parked the car and wandered over to GZ following the GPSr
We soon found the cache. We slowly separated the pages in the log book as it was dry.
The cache is dry and ready to go again.
With the Log book signed, cache replaced and we were on our way again. [^]
Thanks for the cache

Hello from Sweden
Out and about with my big brother "Brother Colin" on a 4 day trip. Day 2
Container is now nice and dry. Logbook didn't need replacing all pages seperated.
TFTC

Took a short walk and made the find. The log is saturated and needs replacing. However this probably would not happen in people would leave the container upright.TFTC

Log needs replacing

TFTC, very wet, could not sign log

Found Ok
Still wet

Thankyou Gypsy jj for finding Mingo Crossing, I was very concerned about it, hearing stories about the amount of water that had gone through. At least it's safe, although wet.

Would the next finder please dry out the log or replace it, while having a cuppa. It is going to be many months before I can see myself up that way again. Thanks in advance.

found it I did!!!
I found my way to it without having to brave too much long grass where those slithery critters hide
and looking around me, so did not expect to find a cache that I didn't take any replacement logs. So much has gone, all from the camp ground except the 2 hardword bbq shelters, hard to imagine. So many trees knocked over by the water too.
the cache is there, I drained it and managed to sign the very soggy log, but it really needs replacing.
thank you sweet-sour the cache.
sl tnln

I can't check on this one for a couple of months, could the next finder please dry him out, if needed.
Thanks Sweet - Sour

Nice spot to spend a few days fishing, have to come back when have a bit more time!!!

1255. Nice stop off point on our way to my perry, mrs.k. Spent a long while birding along this track. Thanks for bringing us here sweet-sour & the cache too..

You can see why this road is nolonger in use, now the dam is full it could be used as a boat ramp. We added our rocks to the pile, to continue with tradition, before heading on our way.

TFTC

Like many geocache finds, we discovered the right way in after finding the cache. A great looking camp and picnic ground on the other side of the river. Added some rocks to the cairn. I took the TB's to continue their journeys. TFTC sweet-sour

FTF at 0945. Had my day all ready set and up came this little number 7 new caches by my friends sweet - sour and my plan was changed.

Still got back to my original plan at 1400 and finished it. Heading home from Bundy in the morning after checking on a couple of mine up this way with recent sad faces.

I crossed the river and was looking for the entry to the old road and quickly found it. Grass is high near the main road but easy to drive over. Quick find. Left trackables. Good view of the river from here.
