Tftc Youngoldfella, from our camp at Mingo Crossing we headed in to Mt Perry for lunch and a few caches! Lunch was tasty and all was good with the caches too.

Wary in the long grass for any slithering creatures but all good here. Thanks YOF

Sign as TK easy find. Maybe this one needs retiring as in long grass and with new rules it seems inappropriate with the cemetery. tftc

GPS jumpy around here so focus on the likely hiding spot. Didn't realise the cemetery so close to the cache was still in use until arrived. Felt disrespectful and think it is wise that this cache type is being phased out to prevent offending mourners. Logged as TK (ToucanKB and KabbellaQld). Tftc

Today's geocaching adventure brought me to a place of unique serenity near a quiet little cemetery in the heart of Mount Perry. The cache provided a peaceful and reflective experience in the midst of nature's resilience after recent bush fires. As I approached the cache location, the juxtaposition of the cemetery and the regenerating bushland struck me. The views here are both haunting and beautiful, as signs of nature's healing process were evident amidst the charred remains of recent fires. I carefully located the cache, hidden skillfully. It was a bittersweet moment, retrieving the logbook from its concealed nook, considering the challenges the region has faced. I signed the logbook with a sense of respect for the surrounding environment and left a small trinket, hoping to bring a bit of joy to this place of quiet reflection. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the cache owner for leading me to this unique spot, where I could appreciate the strength of nature's renewal in the face of adversity. Geocaching continues to take me to extraordinary places, reminding me of the power and resilience of our natural world.

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.
This one seemed to be a little out but I used my geosenses and made the find.
I signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the hide and bringing me to this area.

I am traveling a very zigzag route to QOGM in Barcaldine. I have been unwell, so delayed the start of my trip by several days. I spent last night in Eidsvold and after finding some caches in the general area, started to head towards Bundaberg. Next, I came to this cache. The GPSr in the geomobile was telling me to go a particular way to this one, but, in reality, there was no road there. So I followed my instincts and found another way to GZ. Once there, the cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

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 a park and grab with a roller coaster like exit.

Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour.

This Day in Music
1977, The Police made their live debut as a three-piece band when they played at Rebecca's Birmingham, England. The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and are generally regarded as one of the first New Wave groups to achieve mainstream success, playing a style of rock that was influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz.
