Lots of DNF's and hasn't been found since 9/16. Perhaps the CO needs to check if it's still there.
Definitely muggled, found the perfect spot where it could of been and the coordinates were bang on... Picturesque Beach though
Lovely little walk around the corner from where we were kayaking and swimming but couldn't find unfortunately!
Having found Gateway nearby, time to have a serious look for this one, even brought a new container.
Could not find a suitable hide large enough at the GZ for anything size.
No evidence of anything left.
Suggest that the CO check this out.

Quick find with Geo Hubby through the bush, lovely to hear the waves. TFTC TNLNSL
Found it on the way to have a family picnic. On holidays up here from Newcastle NSW. SL TNLN TFTC

This cache was found on my #WinterRoadTrip2016, a camping road trip with friends up to Traveston, Inskip Point and Rainbow Beach. This was day 6 and our last day camping....!! We decided to get up early - about 4am to find all of the woodgate caches before sunrise.
Second last find thismorning, we walked in the wrong way but found the easy way out!
TFTC PCYC Blazers!

This was our last cache for the day as it is coffee time. After wandering to the other cache nearby we returned for this one. As we approached GZ we could easily see the effects of the recent heavy rains and high tides but we found the ca he still Se I rely tied to its location and safe and dry.
Great to see a good sized cache in a scrubby area.
There were some magnificent views enjoyed before returning to the car and setting off for that much needed coffee.

Set up camp on the ramp with the fremily, and thought I'd head off to find the nearby caches while the kids cruised off into the rapidly lowering tide. I missed the opportunity to grab them last year, so was pretty keen to get into them this time around!
Nice stroll in to GZ, though the direct route was certainly not the ideal. Ended up rethinking and going around. Nice easy find and quick grab. Strolled back around the headland and did a bit of CITO as I went. TNLN. TFTC.

Captain Terror, Fangsoki and I all had the day off today so decided to head up to this area to grab a few geocaches. We were driving around when I noticed this icon on the map. I mentioned it to the guys and before long we had parked the Canyonero, found a nearby cache and were on our way to this one.
I usually hate walking in sand because of a leg injury but today the sand was firm enough to not aggravate it too much. We made our way towards GZ and at one point I got separated from the others by a large tree. I caught up to see the guys with the container. We signed our names in the logbook and replaced it as found. Thanks for the cache PCYC Blazers.

I've spent many cumulative months, maybe years in Hervey Bay. I've camped at Burrum Heads, been to Bundaberg a few times and driven up the highway on dozens of trips. However, I've never been to Woodgate before - the exact same goes for Theodolite Creek. Fangsoki mentioned a few geocaches near here we should grab so with Net88 we went on a one day roadtrip.
There was a part of me thought this creek with its theodolites would think we were showing off with our GPS-based navigation devices. Maybe for that reason, it's perfect for a geocache. After finding a nearby older geocache, Net noticed this nearby with a bit of an elevated Difficulty/Terrain rating. Of course we'll have some of that action.
We enjoyed a walk along the beach, then across the carpark and down a sandy trail. there sure are a lot of muggles about today - cars, swimmers, picnickers! None at all near this geocache and once we'd wended our way between the assorted flora, the geocache was a quick find. A handsome container here and all in good condition. Thanks for this geocache, PCYC Blazers

Captain Terror, Net88, and I were in the area and we decided to grab this one next after grabbing its neighbour.
We trotted along the beach across to GZ. Damned nature blocked our path from going directly. It tends to do that a lot I noticed
We arrived at GZ and we found the cache safe and sound. We signed the log and re-hid it. A nice little area to visit. TFTC PCYC Blazers

Easy find, not sure about the terrain 3 rating! Happy Australia Day long long weekend. TFTC
TFTC! our muggle friend (don't worry she's legit) found it! Coordinates are a touch off
Up at Woodgate for Christmas with geography man and the rest of the family. Decided we'd do a spot of caching. Tricky hide walked past it a few times.

Coords had us looking in the wrong place initially but youngest GeoSon, bit of a GeoFerrett, eventually sniffed out the more obvious hide. Found with Secret7(P).
Last time we visited Woodgate we did not come to this area. Looked gorgeous today, the water clear, calm and inviting. A few fishing people enjoying the solitude and catching a few fish. We stealthily made our find and went on to the next cache. Thanks PCYC Blazers
Nice little find. Crash was our finder.

No pen but clever hide. With kar1e3 and nuttzo on a family road trip. Beautiful spot!

Visiting from Melbourne while GeoBro was at Jamboree - spent a great day caching with friends and family
This was our first find for the day - TFTC!

Camping in the near by Burrum Coast National Park this week with Snow Bear, Today we ventured out to checkout the area as we haven't been around here before, And to get a few cache's as well.
We just finished getting the caches on the southern end of Woodgate so now we have headed up this way. After just a short walk we found ourselves close to GZ, thinking about the description and the tides we found ourselves looking a little higher then we needed to. But it wasn't long and we spotted what we needed. On our way back the tide was out and we were amused by all the soldier crabs running around.

Today we headed south, stopping at a delightful caravan park at Ironridge.
most of the caches we found today were at Woodgate & in the afternoon in the Russso Environment Park. Both places we have never visited before. It was a great day out.
The log book was saturated here so we left a new one & removed the old one.

6:30 at night not very pleasant but thanks to the good eyes of a muggle friend who had wandered away from our gz we were able to find this one quickly. No pen with us, so took a photo of the log. TFTC.
Found this Cache with my girlfriend on our today's trip from Bundaberg to Rainbow Beach.
Thanks for this Cache,

Another lovely area to enjoy the beautiful white sand and the water.
People were enjoying relaxing by the water.
Wandered in and I made the find.
Signed the log and ensured that the cache was well hidden from view.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks PCYC Blazers All good with this cache

Found after a quick hunt. Log is pretty full- I didn't have anything with me to add to it though. Signed the log and replaced as found. TFTC
Rarely do I lose my sense of humour with a cache but I sure did with this one! With the coordinates swinging round and about, midges attacking every part of my body that the mozzies gave them a look in, it was not an area conducive to either pleasure, exploration, or fun. Very happy to leave the area after a fruitless search. Considering the area the cache is hidden in a useful clue would have been handy instead of an ambiguous one
I misinterpreted the hint and spent time hunting at the wrong height. Eventually started to widen the search and it was a quick find. TFTC
Tftc...bit of a hunt finally had cache in hand. Log needs replacing.

Found cache OK, but it needs a new log as the current one is full. Good sized cache on a nice part of the coast line. tnln TFTC
I was stratching my head while looking at the GPS, then ....oh! Nice one, forgot to put the insect repellant on, however. TFTC. Took Lego bits, left 1 and 2 cent coins, and old ceramic doll's leg.
A quick find for this one. A few muggles about but stealth mode did the trick. SL TFTC
