Turtle Trail - Parking area Burnett Heads, Queensland, Australia
By Ozibags on 07-May-12. Waypoint GC3JW46

STOLEN !!!! yet another victim of "school holidays syndrome" here in Burnett Heads. I built and placed this cache on behalf of Ozibags and I check on it regularly. Sadly, I have to report that it has indeed been stolen and I won't be replacing it again to have some bogan kid get his jollies from destroying it. Over to you Ozibags.

So disappointing to see this cache container gone. It was a beauty!

I would like to thank Bindair Dundat for replacing my initial container with a much better one that totally suited my original cache idea.

The container for this cache has gone missing (stolen). Now that the thieves knows where it is and will likely return to repeat their evil ways, I have decided not to replace it.

Found the plastic bag with the log book but no container. TFTC

Correct coords and a lengthy search again after another clue from the CO. Found the log book in a plastic bag stuffed between some roots and obviously in the wrong place. Logged my find and will message the CO with some pics. Thanks to osibags for the cache in a great location.

To good for me after a thorough search. Will reattempt at next visit.

Took much longer than it should have.... Almost gave up and then something was tucked away and just a bit different... TFTC.

Great hide tftc

Found with geowife while have morning coffee on day out from Bundy

Day 2 of my week away exploring Bundaberg and Maryborough.

Working my way around Burnett Heads.

SL TFTC

Very Creative... Good Find... TFTC

Clever camo- well done! Found at night with the frog guardian keeping watch. Once I realised the hint said root not roof, we were on it

Enjoying my long weekend in the Bundaberg area. next, I headed to this cache. A quick search and the cache was located and the log signed. TFTC

Great hide really enjoyed this one

Cool spot at Burnett heads

Cool hide, TFTC

Found. Thanks for the Cache.

Tftc ozibags, once again Bundy delivers with the scenery

This is by far the best! Awesome thank you

Excellent hide! Another beautiful spot

I picked one more for the muggle family to take me to before heading back to Bargara. Happy I chose this one, great hide, TFTC and bringing me to the area Ozibags

Found today on my 2nd attempt. Thanks CO.

Great ride along the foreshore doing this series. It was a very windy day, but our ebikes made it a little easier for us

Returned with a hint from a couple I met at the recent event in Bargara. Thanks guys

A really nice well disguised geocache container. We were impressed with how well it accompanied the others where it resides and so a favorite point is awarded. Many thanks for placing it and bringing us here today.
Cheers and happy caching!

Our last on the Turtle Trail almost had us bamboozled

10:36:00 AM. A good walk from the Burnett Heads caravan park with our geo pup on a windy day. Great path all the way. A brief search and log signed. Clever cache and a favourite point from us. Thanks for the cache Ozibags

Tftc! Clever little hide!! Geokids spotted it quickly!!

TFTC

Great spot tftc

Perfect spot for a catch was a bit hard to see at first but great container

I was just about to give up - super fun - love love love this hide

Great disguise tftc

Cheers, tftc

Despite the poor weather forecast, Crookedpete, JezNDez and I set off on an impromptu road trip from Brisbane to Bundaberg chasing a large patch of potential FTF 's which appeared to still be on offer. After encountering rain on the drive up, we lucked in with the rest of the day remaining pretty well precipitation free. In the end, a great day to be out caching.

A muggle was sitting at the nearby shelter enjoying the serenity when suddenly the 3 of us rock up and spoil the mood. He promptly shuffled off which left us free to search unobserved. Dez spotted the well camouflaged cache here. TFTC

Some heavy rain forecasts scuttled the planned Bromance camping weekend in North NSW. The forecast around Bundy looked reasonable, and there were 70 FTF's with some generous DT up for grabs. Swellerfungus opted to continue the repairs arising from his 10 cent bathroom washer replacement (current cost is into the $1,000's), leaving the Bromance Lite* heading north early this morning.

On arrival here, there was a muggle on an mobility scooter in the shelter nearby. I know we didn't smell great after a long day caching, but he disappeared quickly after our arrival. I have a similar hide of my own, but JeznDez spotted it quickly.

Many thanks Ozibags

Fun to find. Wonderful stop for a breezy rest.

We found it. Very clever hide!

Nice one Ozibags, great camo. Mr.Herbz sharp eyes spied something a little out of place. A favourite point from us. TFTC.

We came we saw we looked and looked but couldnt find a root that looked different. Nice spot though with the breeze coming off the water. Thanking for showing us the area

Yay found it thanks to a nudge from the CO. It's always a slap to the head and think how did we miss it what an interesting container fav pt and thanks again

Very clever

A different container but managed to sniff it out quickly and somebody has put a lobster shell up in the tree. TFTC

Very clever hide, haven’t seen one like this before.
A FP from us
TFTC

Very well done. TFTC

Terrific view. Terrific cache. TFTC

What excellently disguised cache ! Absolutely loved this one, and once we started looking for the correct root we were right on it. Thankyou so much Ozibags

Very clever well done

2nd and for day.

TFTC. Great to be caching in a new part of this great country.Thanks Ozibags for providing the entertainment.

What a great hide well worth the favourite point we are giving it thanks

Well done. Good hide

Maybe next time i will find it

Replaced and ready to go.

Taking this cache offline while a replacement is organised. Thanks Bindair for offering to replace it.

This one has definitely succumbed to the ravages of Cyclone Oma. I've contacted the CO to see if he needs any help re-instating it. Watch this space. Cheers from Bindair Dundat.

No sign of the cache for me. I home that Cyclone Oma did not remove it.

TFTC. We are coming towards the end of our housesit in the Bundaberg region. The aim this morning was to complete the Turtle trail between Burnett Heads and Mon Repos. We had a pleasant morning 5 GC caches, I DNF and a GCA cache.

Sadly not the season for turtles but the bike path and scenery are terrific. We’ve seen a surprising number of butterflies , too. NINO TFTC

Very clever hide. Pink bear find

It took some skill to negotiate the rocks but got it, tftc

What a great hide nearly had me stumped tftc.

Yes it is different. A beautiful part of the coast. Thanks

Found, though the hint didn’t make sense until now I was thinking road less travelled kind of root. Thanks for the cache I really enjoyed this one except when I got rounded up by a collie that was visiting the area too

Spent a great morning along the waterfront finding some geocaches that we walk past all the time!! Great part of the world! The kids loved the hiding spot for this cache.

WINNING

Found it!!!

Over visiting from NZ for a couple of weeks and Tiki touring up the coast and around. Trying to find as many as possible up here north east of Bundaberg before returning south.

Parked in the parking area and then made my way over towards the beach. Only one council worker muggle in the carpark and none near the beach, so was able to look for this one undisturbed. With the good hint, it wasn't too long before the cleverly concealed cache was found, the log signed and then all returned safe and sound. A fave from me. TFTC

Very nice hide.
TFTC

very nice TFTC

In Bundaberg from Sydney in advance of our visit to Lady Elliott Island. Nice location and a favourite from us for a cleverly constructed and 'hidden' container. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Great hide. Pity no beach. TFTC

Clever one. Thanks for the hint. Tftc.

Quick easy find

Nice hide tftc

Sneaky little bugger and clever little hide. Nice one TFTC

Could not find

Nice bit tricky and love the view here so relaxing and nice cool full over cast today! FP for awesome cache and view! TFTC

A quick stop before we headed back north to the patrolled beach for a swim. It wasn't too hard to find but my eyes spotted it as I came around to GZ. The cache is in need of repair as the container was not in its actual hide. The lid had deteriorated to the point it will no longer attach. Had some supplies but unfortunately no spare containers to protect the log so left as sheltered as possible under its camouflage.
TFTC

After we have been by the turtels this night we found this cache today. The container was not where he should be. But we placed it correct. Nice idea. TFTC. Hase100 + Igel 100 from Germany.

Little bit tricky buy the clue helped

Out and about from our campsite at Bargara today. Headed out for a drive around Burnett Heads. Thought a kanoodling couple on the seat above the hide would spoil our search, but once over the edge no one could see us. Mr D picked up something, I announced there it is, where - in your hand. Easy and clever, thanks Ozibags

Our goal today was to enjoy a day of sight seeing while in the area. This was a quick find and a clever hide. Thanks for an enjoyable cache.

Just spent half an hour searching at GZ with no luck, left with a bag full of plastic and rubbish, lots of broken glass around

A beautiful day for a drive to Burnett heads. A quick find. TFTC.

Up in Bundy again this weekend, and I grabbed the car for a couple hours this morning. Mmmm, turtles. Been a few years since I last chased turtles up here - I missed them. Nice hide.
Thanks for placing this cache, Ozibags. Found in good condition.
*{Overall find #4892}*

In the company of troobloo, we trotted down to this cache seeing it was very close to the parking area.
I was very cautious at this one (Ophidiophobia) but once a little had past I felt okay being in the area.
This was a good hide and nice to see something other than the norm. Thanks for the fun Ozibags!

Found it although we don't believe it should be where we found it laying out in the open so have placed it in a more natural spot

Great way to spend a day while on holiday in the area, out walking and caching.

Excellent camo. Worth the walk from Mon Repos. I am back to Sydney soon. I will miss the great caches atound here.
TFTC Ozibags

Loved this one I found it easily.

Quick find with Geo Hubby while on holiday from SA. Clever Camo have seen similar before. TFTC TNLNSL

While camping at Bundaberg with Geodad (Whitey Wiskas) and Geodog (Scruffy) ...
We just had to go out and find a few caches ..

All Good .. TFTC ..

Found with geoson geoff511. TFTC.

TFTC What a great camo, took me 10 minutes looking to locate this hide, thanks for having this cache in a place that Melbourne visitors would never venture to

TCTF. Thanks & very clever! Beautiful spot!

Removing the needs maintenance icon.

A bit cute. Lovely view song the beach.

A nice hide! Mrs SKI looked in vain, and even paid attention to the hint. Mr SKI obviously paid more attention to the hint, and was much better at looking!
It's nice to find a cache with a bit of thought, creativity and effort put in. Congratulations, we enjoyed it.

Out and about exploring a different area of Bundy that we haven't been to before ... Soon had the clever cache in hand T4TC:) #4003
