It has green up since the bush fires and the grass has grown back lush looked everywhere but no luck

Sadly did not find this cache. It is obvious that the area has been burnt in the past year (burnt trees etc) and we suspect that the cache is likely to have been burnt too. Think this one needs checking on.

Unfortunately it doesnt appear to be there anymore

W e stopped here and had a quick look around . There has been a fire throughout here. C.O. may need to do a maintenance check.

Unfortunately I think this one was a victim of the recent fire.

We arrived near GZ to see the area has been burnt out recently in the fires.Didn't hop out have a look as where the GPS was pointing was just ash.

Didn't squish him today, friendly little fella TFTC

Amazing roadside nano!!! Hint in the name.
Log is full and I have no scissors to cut a new one, so dated and signed gtm

This one is very tiny. Almost gave up. But last look and got it

Took about 20 minutes to find but was a great find after all. Had to go back a few photos and years to find any idea of where it could be. Once screwing the container back on the key ring snapped because of how rusty it was but I put the container back on as best as I could

Found on the 1st object that Mr TiedyeSmileys looked at. Now if only he had actually found it then it would have saved another few minutes searching around before Mrs TiedyeSmileys went back there and found the little sucker (or should that be critter)

TFTC and greetings from Tassie

Thanks seirra1 for this hide GC3KE54 La Cockaracha. Nice one

Tftc. Cool little hide.

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching. TFTC seirra1

Passing through on our trek to Charleville event, spending a few hours picking off a few caches on a break from towing.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

A short trip out from our camp for this one today. Found a very likely spot after looking far and wide back where we originally started searching, but it wasn't there. Finally found it very close by.

We have moved on from Caboolture and wound our way north to Woodgate. Not much caching to be done but some relaxing time walking and riding along the beach and catching up with family.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache seirra1.

on a work/play trip from Brisbane to Bundy and back . I had time to find a few caches. I was just about to give up with this one but looked at some photos and it still took a bit to spot. All up around 20 minutes. Thanks for the fun cache, happy i stayed to find it today

A planned couple of days away with my girls. Heading north to meet up with friends and stay a night in a motel resort, which turned into a sleep over at a friend’s place.

It has been a long day with a few caches and a lot of distance covered and a few stops for chats along the way. We were nearing our final destination but there were still a few more I wanted to grab as we passed. This one took way longer than it should have. Luckily, I have a 4wd with some big lights so it stood out eventually.

We signed the log and replaced all as found and continued our journey north. Thanks for bringing us here all good with this cache.

Well that took a lot longer than it should have. GPS was spot on. We were at the right spot but it's all in the angle. TFTC

We almost had given up on this one. Scratches ended up claiming the find. Log signed and returned.
TFTC

We weren't getting our hopes too high for this one after the recent dnf's but decided to look anyway as we were going past. Nearly gave up and walked away when it suddenly came into view! Woohoo! Happily signed the log and replaced as found. Favourite point given.

TFTC

Sadly do luck for us on this one today.

Think it ran away.

SL. Nifty little cache. Thank you

Today I had an opportunity to visit this area and finding a few caches.

Thanks for hiding and the maintenance.

Last one for this trip and it took a bit of searching but got there eventually. Great hide and TFTC seirra1

Great hide thanks

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that i can claim the finds or not as the case may be. TFTC.

24/6/21 On holidays from Mackay in Bundaberg for some caching fun. Thanks for placing this cache for my enjoyment. TFTC SL going to see Bundy Factory today. Hope the rain holds out. Cache and log good condition

Part of the log disintegrated when we removed it from the container although there is still plenty of room for more logs. Signed TT to save room.
TFTC

Log is a bit ratty. Found on ground with lid. Put together again.

Quick find on the way past
Thanks seirra1 for giving us all reason to visit.

Found the spot. Cache missing

Very sneaky, found it but as others said the cache itself is gone. Needs maintenance.

Found!! Needs maintenance as container and log are missing. Have send message to cache owner

Will have to come back for this one. Coordinates are all over the place.

No luck on this one today. It could be my phone but coords put me in the open a good 3/4m from trees.

Found lacockawhatever,without it’s lid.TFTC

Tftc container is missing paper with still there have put the paper in the lid and try to make it so it won't fall out

Clever. TFTC. Had to come backto this one Tod.ay. 2nd time. lucky.

TFTC. We are housesitting in Bundaberg for a few months, we had not been out for a few days so it was decided to head out toward Woodgate Beach. The benefit of geocaching is that it get you out and about and exploring areas. We had not been this way on previous trips.
We made a point of clone ting three of thirds series along Goodwood Road before getting to the coast. Wonderful concept and great hides.
We found the log sheet on the ground before spotting the actual part container. Put the log back in the lid and tried to ensure it would stay there.

After parking on the side road, we commenced our search in the likely spots. After reading the last DNF we were ready to give up, but Princess Madelyn had one more look and there it was. This one needs a bit of maintenance - the bottom half of the log container is missing and the log now sits precariously in the lid. Thanks seirra1 for placing this cache - we always enjoy the ones that are just a bit different from the rest. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

TFTC. Great to be caching in a new part of this great country.Thanks seirra1 for providing the entertainment.

Tftc looks like the has been cut down? Thanks

Found easily enough after a short search tftc.

Nice camouflage, found quick and time for another before the day ends. Tftc

Another great cache, well thought out by CO. TFTC

Hmmm hardly what I’d call one of nature’s clean beings!! Can’t stand the buggers they’d survive a nuclear war!! But loved this find TYFC

Right in front of us & still we took ten minutes to find it! Yet another Fav point. Kutgw

Mozzies galore...tftc...

Thanks for the great hide

Thanks for the hide

Spiders, ants, and other creepy crawlys...no cockaroacha

Unfortunately we did not find this one, only cobwebs

Found it with bikesu.Tftc

On our way back home from wonderful holidays around Airlie Beach and Rockhampton. Enjoyed sightseeing, meeting fellow cachers and getting smilies.

Caching a bit after the today's event which was great!
Tftc

Driving to Bundaberg from Hervey Bay on our visit from Sydney. With a description like this how could we possibly pass it by? Found this little critter - ick! - but pretty exposed. We propped up the camouflage that looked like it had peeled away. Great hide. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Little tiny fella tftc

A geocaching roadtrip is an amazing thing. It takes lots of preparing, planning and pre puzzling to ensure time on the road is maximised. I have to say I exhibited none of these attributes as we readied ourselved for this roadtrip. I was fortunately joined by the energizer bunny (seffnjarah) and the Square Jawed Mountain Man (Crookedpete) who both like to prove how capable they are as the alpha males of the Bromance. While there is often much chest beating and tantrums, we manage to remain positive and end up with a good plan of attack.
We set off on Friday lunch time (so CP had time to make himself pretty) and returned late Sunday nigh, traveling some 2000klms, approx 70 caches of varying D/T Ratings, in just on 54 hours. Sadly there were a few DNF's (which some of the team took harder than others), but we saw many different cache styes, and some amazing places. Thanks to all the CO's who placed these caches for us to find.
Yes this one ended up as expected. The CO is one Creepy Crawlie fella!

I love a good roadtrip.

It has been far too long since Seffnjarah, Swellerfungus and I did stupid things a long way from home. So, a Bromance caching road trip from Brisbane to Rocky & Yeppoon and a few ports (and mountains) in between was planned.

The cache name and a slightly higher DT raised our interest at this one. We parked safely nearby and in no time at all, Swellerfungus located the guardian. The container at first eluded him (strange - since it is tethered), but soon enough our initials were in the log.

Many thanks Sierra1

Another stop along the way, and once again the rain stopped just before arriving at GZ. We managed to locate the guardian for the cache container but it took a few moments more before we managed to locate the container for the logbook. TFTC

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany. Tftc

On the move again, unfortunately heading south as we have to wait for a part for our fridge to arrive in Maryborough. So, to make the most of it, be cached along the roads from Bundy to Hervey Bay - Any caches where it was safe to pull up with the van. We were able to find a side track to pull into, and started the search. GZ was out, so we looked in a the obvious spots. High and Low. I was about to give up when Mr D called to say he had found it. Left me to gently extract, sign and return. Thanks seirra1

Tftc. Very good hiding spot.

We searched for quite a while but no luck this time

Cache replaced. Happy caching.

Nice quick little find on the way home from bundy. Log is very full!

Thought I knew where this cache would be, so scaled a tree and of course it wasn't there. Back to the GPS and had another look, yes, there it was. Very clever cache, thanks. Giving this one a favourite.

Found on tour of the area. TFTC

Found it on the way to have a family cache day.  On holidays up here from Newcastle NSW. SL TNLN TFTC Loved the camo lol #119 @ 2:10pm FP from us

Nice cache - log now full need another strip - well done

Nice find

Great hide

Interesting find went bush bashing to find this one found with Rowell Mob

Nice hide. Great to see. TFTC.

Will come back to have proper look!!

We are on our way to Woodgate Beach and had to stop off to do this seirra1 cache. It did not disappoint. Nice work. Fav point alloc. Thanks guys.

Great idea for a cache

Up to Bundy for a few days for a not so pleasant reason - and today I get the job of driving back to Brisbane in the car. No other responsibilities today. Have noticed these on the TomTom many trips this year, but never the opportunity before to stop. Till today. Errrk, nice? Hmmm, not so sure. Cache is fine though.
Thanks for placing this cache, seirra1. Found in good condition.

And again on the road. Today we will get to bundaberg.

TFTC Easystone

Fun find

Cursed thing!

Found it after a while, just before it became dark. When I came back, my headlights were still on and the battery flat.
Shit. >.<
Somebody pulled by luckyly and jump started my car.

Nice container though.

I am on Annual Leave, so I decided to head north in search of warmer weather. A couple of days in Bundaberg will do nicely.

With so many caches and so little time I had to pick and choose which caches I was going to hunt, so I probably will bypass quite a lot. Higher D/T ratings, multis, puzzles and caches with favourite points will be me targets.

I decided to take the slightly scenic route from Childers and get a few caches along this road.

This was my first stop for the day. The trusty GPSr took me straight to GZ for a nice quick find thanks.

A favourite point for this one too.

Found at 10.52hrs. This looks like a nice spot to pull up and have a quick cuppa. Finding the cache took a bit of looking but soon had it.
