Ban-Yobbo - The Store Banyo, Queensland, Australia
By Pprime (P`) on 13-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3PHDH

Found! Tricky spotThank you Que Sera for stopping and lending a hand!

Was heading to the train station to get a pass and noticed this on the app. A nice quick grabTFTC

In the area grabbing a few snacks and saw this cache nearby so headed that way. Thankfully my fat fingers were able to extract the cache from its hidey hole. Nice hide TFTC

Gave this one a go way to many people around for a good look. Will be back

Had a quick search but no success. Nothing obvious sticking out.Lots of muggles so not wanting to look to obvious. Will watch future activity on this one.

Not today

Mothers Day Adventures. Easy grab! TFTC.

Outdoor boxing event happening next door so lots of people about!

This one is in good shapeThanks

Found this cache with TBU1Bikesu.
Tftc

We searched a while, then we got it!

As we had a 3 hours' time gap between the celebration of Grannysmith1947's 10th geocaching anniversary and our eldest son's 45th Birthday, we decided today to tackle caches in the Banyo/Virginia area.

We found this cache and signed the log.

Easy find, thank you ️

A good adventure with the kids while Mum sleeps in for mother's Day. TFTF

I’m lucky enough to travel for work and today finds me in Queensland. In between commitments, I find myself with time to kill so I stopped by here for a find.

Many thanks to Pprime (P`) for placing and maintaining Ban-Yobbo - The Store. I found it, I signed it, and put it back as found.

TFTF ️ Nearly got muggled

Nice easy find today. TFTC

Quick and easy find while waiting for coffee. TFTC clue collected

Nice quick easy find. Had to wait for a muggle banyobbo to get on the bus so went and did the other ones first! TFTC

When I was here a year ago, I couldnt spot it in the dark. Today it was much easier, and put my hand on it pretty much straight away. Thanks for the cache Pprime, find #7458 at 11.18am

Pprime (P`) I found your cache Ban-Yobbo - The Store on 21/8/2022, 6:00 pm. This is my find 3973 and find # 4 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

#2 today. No muggles so easy find. Putting back was trickier due to train and traffic. Log book damp but signable. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Cache is slightly damp but overall still ok.

Quick find, harder to reach. Was really worried it was going to end up in the neighbours yard. But I managed to get out down and put it back. Log book is wet but can still be written in.

Found after a bit of hunting, soggy from rain so didn't sign.

This one had eluded me on a couple of occasions, finally muggle free and located. TFTC

Cache covered in ants so we didn't sign

Found this with GeoSnag1. Took a little more looking but before long I heard those great words "found it"

TFTC

Awesome

Good hide! TFTC

Found quickly today while waiting for a friend.

I got very touchy feely with this one tonight after having to abort due to a yobbo a few days ago. Net88 watched on and I looked and felt all over the place from her cozy vantage point. She is a great and helpful assistant. Good few cafes around here too!

Had a yummy brunch at Putia and then went around the town to find a few close by caches. Was expecting this one to take longer than it did... With the hint it was found quickly. Tftc!

We were heading home from dropping DFC to work training and decided to go back and find the rest of the Ban-Yobbo Series. So, we set out to find this one and turn it into a yellow smiley face finally after coming here previously and unfortunately having a blue face on our map.

Before leaving the geocar (track my adventures D78QWZ) we re-read the description, the hint, confirming the Difficulty and Terrain and the previous finder’s logs.

We set off to walk to the GZ. MummaBear66 was directing us where to go. So, we started our walk over to the GZ, discussing about where this geocache could possibly be located and if the geocache was still in there due to the pervious log and owner maintenance stating this cache has been muggles 4 times in the past. We got the GZ and started our search for this cache.

Thankfully after a decent search in the wrong place we worked out we were in the incorrect place and regrouped. Shortly after we had the cache in hand, and we added our ink marks to the geocache log and replaced the geocache exactly as we found it. Then we headed back to the Geocar and JLK to start writing this log.

FINALLY FOUND THIS CACHE!!!!

Thanks for the P Prime (P’) for the placement of this awesome cache series.
Thanks for the Hunt.

This is the 3rd time I have looked for this one and today I was not giving up almost did then I finally found it was bigger then what I was looking for lol thanks

Out with Stephyy she ended up finding this one finally !! We did almost give up again.

With the rest of the family away for the weekend I had the whole day free to myself. I don't often get a chance to cache over on the North side of town so today was the perfect opportunity to rectify this and pick up some solved puzzles and other caches in my to-do database.

A test of patience here as I tried to find a suitable break in the traffic to commence searching the spot I thought most likely. With a long enough break presenting itself I was able to conduct a quick inspection which soon revealed the cache. TFTC

Nice quick find

Out and about with swearah today grabbing some caches. A quickish find was made here. Tftc

Still out being a yobbo with jodsta83, she made the find while I was looking elsewhere.
Crossing the road back to the car was interesting, with a terrible driver almost causing two separate accidents right in front of us.
TFTC, Pprime

Finally found it TFTC

Camouflaged by the colour but a good spot. Clearing in foot traffic allowed me to look. Not to wait for a clearing to put it back.

Still cannot find it ️

️

TFTC. Wouldn't say Micro....more just small in size

TFTC.

Had to postpone my mountain experience by another day, but tomorrow that foot WILL be OK!
Car caching to collect a few finds.
Doing Sunday laps of Banyo, what better way than this to celebrate our freedom?!

Lack of locals made this an easy task

Thank you Pprime for this cache

Right, this darn cache is finally logged. It's almost comical how such an easy cache became my nemesis cache.

This happens to be my fifth visit to GZ, but I'm way too proud to log DNFs honestly on a D2.5! The first few times I visit GZ I was feeling a bit awkward and watched so didn't really dive into where I thought it would be.

Then I returned with the kids yesterday and a muggle was sitting there. Righteo, let's go get a coffee and come back. He's still there. OK ok ok, let's go get some groceries and come back. He's still there. Darn you! Let's make awkward faces at him until he leaves. That didn't work. Sigh.

Today I came back, and I knew where to look. Donned an orange vest, carried a folder. Cache quickly retrieved, log signed, clue observed (and probably written down wrong :p), and I skipped all the way back to my car.

The last Ban Yobbo! TFTC Mr P

TFTC

Finished early today from work had to get some more caches.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC *457* streak. *2777* Finds

TFTC

Nice
Quick easy find thanks

Took a few minutes but time to search as a quiet Saturday arvo for female yobbos! Tftc

I finally found it after I had a good break in the traffic to have a better look. TFTC

It eluded us for a while... no giving up! Quick Sunday geo on the way to shops!

#4478:
I blended right in with my fluro. Nobody made a second glance, whilst I pretended to check the electrics round the side of the shelter. I found this one fairly hard to grab, and almost lost it down the hole. TFTC.

After attending the nearby CITO, nathanjhunt and I teamed up for some caching in the area.
Parked in the carpark and made our way to GZ.
NJH in hi-vis made the find, no-one questioned why we were here.
SL then returned as found.

TFTC Pprime (P)

Quick look whilst walking to the shops. Found quickly, not to many people around. Fat fingers had small problem extracting container, but got it eventually. TFTC.

Jackie found it hit help us track it down .tftc

Well hidden. Tftc

**# 24686** Found on our 2019 trip to Qld for winter.
A fine Autumn day for a drive around Burpengary and Banyo again.
Not that many muggles around here today and many good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache and quick maintenance Pprime (P`),
***Roostaman***

Hearing this had been replaced a trip was arranged with Roostaman to head back out and add our names to the log. Thankyou Pprime for your quick action here.

We think the container is missing here.

So it would seem. Replaced container. All good again

Tftc

Stealth needed here, pretty busy this arvo. Quick grab thanks to the hint. TFTC!

Merry Christmas out for a walk after lunch, scooped this one on the way TFTC

Think I might have been spotted retrieving this one.... TFTC

Love the series

Out with jemilucy today a quick find tftc

Out with Benny boppers. Beautiful day for a walk. Tftc

Found today, met up with the other mothers here. Tftc

Another afternoon filling in time and another afternoon for a yobbo cache. We were killing time as we were heading to OC’s event the long way and picking up a few caches on our way. This was the yobbo cache of our choosing today as it was near Woollies and we wanted a drink.

With our drinks in our hand we made the short walk over to GZ, Mrs 4ando spotted this one on the walk up to it. There was a man walking along the road on the other side so we waited for him, and waited for him, and waited for him! What is he reading on that pole? Finally he continued to be on his way again and we could make the grab to add our name.

Wondering back to the car we had to check out what was on the pole in case we were missing out on something, nope just a missing cat.

Tftc Pprime

Nice easy find. Logbook was a challenge to get out but hopefully now it is easier for the next person. Tftc

Got this cache right in a hurry,
Just be quite quick, and do not worry.
The log must only go one way,
Or it will just stay locked away.

got it

Well camoflagued hide. Good one. There was a bit of muggle activity at 4.15 pm.

We blended in well with the locals today. Tftc

GPS jumped around sending us back and forth across the road but got there in the end tftc

Took a bit more looking than it probably should have. Making assumptions does that! Thanks.
[#646]

Well, I'm surprised by the no campfire attribute, but found without too much trouble! Getting close to solving this little series!

After finding another one not too far away in this same series,we came for a drive down past the shops and walked over to this one. It was fairly quiet, and so we were able to make a quick find at GZ today we noted some numbers and write them down and were back in the car pretty quickly. Thanks

Domsky

Went at night, no problem

Just a little after hunting TFTC!

Nice and easy bus stop find. TFTC!

too high for my little arms

Lots of muggles about but i did the decoy of using the nearby bin. Good hide

Tftc

Nice quick find. TFTC

Great little drive around today. Tftf

No problems spotting this one.

TFTC

Walked here from our previous find, and had the cache in hand quickly, which is the ideal outcome for caches hidden around these spots! TFTC

Found this one thanks for placing this P'. :^)

Found with Emmy
That was fun :p

Tftc

Do a bit of searching around the bus stop

Not sure y it's a 2.5; maybe as a high muggle area? Anyway, qik find twixt muggles! TFTC:-)

Blackbeard picked this one up with burgo78.
Apologies for the late log.
TFTC

Visiting Brisbane for the Confraternity Rugby League Carnival and picking up some quick finds tonight.
Picking up momentum now.
Tftc

Quick park and grab. TFTC,
