Ban-Yobbo - Kids at Play Virginia, Queensland, Australia
By Pprime (P`) on 13-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3Q2HB

Muggled time for a rethink perhaps

Make way make way - there's a new Yobbo in town!

Tftc

Nice and easy. Good location for a walk.

TFTC

Let go to easy

I failed to find this one the last trip to QLD, but since its relocation, this one was a quick and obvious find. Thanks for the cache Pprime, find #7448 at 8.56am

??

Hoo hoo 2 geocache in a day

Got off the train at Virginia and had about 30 mins to spare before a meeting nearby so went for a quick walk to introduce Bhangu to caching. He was still signing up as i found this one and signed my name. He signed it on the way back to the car. Easy find and log is dry despite the weather. TFTC.

Took my bike for a ride. Learnt how to take off all by my self.

As a 7yo it was a bit out of eyesight

Found it

Pprime (P`) I found your cache Ban-Yobbo - Kids at Play on 21/8/2022, 6:45 pm. This is my find 3976 and find # 7 today. That has to be the worst and electrical dangerous cache I have come across. Retrieved the cache hoping not to get electrocuted. Signed log and put the cache in a more safer spot, behind the sign nearby. I won’t say thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Spent way to long on it

Young fella and I spent over 30mins looking and could find it. I think I know where is meant to be considering bolts are missing, but it’s pretty unsafe with all the wires etc not to mention illegal. Wasn’t putting either of our hands in there to rife around

We spent around 30 mins looking for it and had no luck. The last time someone found it was a month ago. Any extra hints or tips would be appreciated. ️

Good luck to the people searching. Could not help but notice as I rode past.

Haha. We could’ve used some help.

I had appointment over this side of town. I needed to revenge the DNF. This time a quick easy find.
Pprime *TFTC* 6907 *Finds*

Monster Trucks at Boondall booked in to cheer up the turmoils. Great deliberation over whether to train it from home or drive closer, cache then train the last bit. Opted for option 2 after setting this series. I love having a purpose to my caching. A goal to aim for.

Well after the biggest little turmoil slept in until 9 , my goal of all was squashed pretty quickly. Oh well. We got a couple and have a big reason to come back up this way one day.

Gps was bouncing all over, leading us to 4 gz's. Just as I was about to give up, I tried something else but wasn't successful. Miss 11 tried the same "something else" and was successful. She is an asset to my caching count

In the area killing time. Narrowed down and easily found. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Did not find it today maybe next time

Didn’t find, had an idea where however dogs were howling at us

Cache check, this one is fine, gave it a fresh logbook. Under and up. .. Please don't try top down.

Am pretty sure where it should be but just can’t feel it. Also didn’t want to keep going with the Police sitting in their speed camera vehicle on the road in clear line of sight

Was a bit confused on where to look as the compass was playing up

Oh, she’s a wet one. Cache may need some maintenance. Was looking in the wrong spot for a while, but paid closer attention to the gps and soon had the cache in hand ️ tftc

Second go at this one. Got it this time. Log is wet so didn’t sign

Cache is there. Log is wet , sorry we didn't have a replacement log. Tftc

In for sure TFTC

Finally found it after all this time

Clever! Not in the obvious spot. TFTC

Sadge

Checked and slightly out of position but fixed up now.

Can’t feel it tonight

Awesome. Thanks.

Kinda obvious once we knew what we were looking for.

Nice easy find even while people where playing footy

Don’t know where it could be

Couldn’t find this one got some weird stares from muggles while we were looking too

Found! Don’t open the hatch, there’s a live wire inside. It’s not in there…

Thanks for the find.. might want to call council!

Sneakyboi

Found pretty quickly! Couldn’t sign as the book was wet but had fun looking for this one. TFTC!

No one around this time of afternoon so there was no need for stealth.

Searched one of the fixtures at GZ before the hint made me focus on the other fixture. Secured the cache seconds before a torrent of school kids came along the path. Good timing!

TFTC!

Found after feeling my way round most of the pole. TFTC

Could not find this one.

Found fairly quickly at obvious spot. Geohubby did the retrieval. Worst part was avoiding all the dog poo around it. Irresponsible dog owners are my pet hate. Thanks Pprime for the cache

Took a while of feeling around (in between muggles) before I felt that HUGE spider.
Just kidding - it was the lovely feel of an eclipse tin, which I pushed instead of pulled, so had to have another go at the retrieve. Ahhh yes, that’s better.
TFTC, Pprime

Fortunately, I’m not nervous about putting my hand where I can’t see. This one requires a little bit of determination and thoroughness. I took a bit of bark off my wrist, but it was worth it to log the find. If you don’t get some scratches, you’re not a real geocacher, right?TFTC

Kinda scared I was going to get myself electrocuted but it’s back

After looking in a few wrong places we re-read the exact wording of the clue, which pointed us to the logical place. TFTC

Will try again later. TFTC

Nice quick and easy find ty

Oh what a goodie - had us stumped! TFTC

Yep.

The dog in the house with the green fence did not like is being here, too scared to keep looking in case he made it over the fence lol #Next

Clever. TFTC

Is that you, JIMINY?!

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?!

Muggle free here too, wonder what sport is on today?

Thank you Pprime for this cache

Found quickly. Had to put hand where you can’t see. Tftc

It was where I first looked, just didn't look well enough
#4 TFTC

Took us a while but found it in the end, very sneaky

Took us a bit very tight, sneaky hide. Have to be willing to search where you can't see. Thankfully I wasn't the one putting my hand into grab it

Took a bit of work but I got there. Bounced between three likely spots near the GZ. Cache ended up being in one of the first places I checked but just a little further in. Very useful hint. TFTC

Look high and low and every where that could be sodden but could not find it.

Sneaky sneaky sneaky.



I've been here at least 2 other times searching for this bugger.


Today I had to PAF to give me a clue and finally got my hands on it.

Only a few more to go in this series.


TFTC.

Found it

Got it at the second attempt! TFC

Finished work out by the airport today, so whilst driving past I thought I’d grab some caches on the way through.

There’s still a few I needed to grab from the Ban-Yobbo series so I grabbed a few of them and any other caches in between also.

My first initial instinct was right all along. Spent a little while searching elsewhere until coming back to the first place I looked. With a little fiddling around I found it.

Find #398 - TFTC

Found while watching a yobbo throwing a stick, which i guess is what a boomerang is if it doesn’t come back. He is persistent though. TfTC

Found it!

It’s no secret that I love big old trees. One way I deflect muggle attention is to photograph them*, so I can enjoy them later.

So, I much appreciated GZ today . Thanks for taking me here, Mr Prime. It was also a beautiful way to start a week of work.

All good with the cache container and log.

*the trees, not the muggles.

Worked up the courage to put my hand where I didn’t want to put it thanks for the cache !

Started the search in the wrong place but once we checked a few pictures we knew where we needed to be! TFTC

A quick stop in for this cache - TFTC!

This one was a challenge we nearly gave up but we persevered and we found it. Tftc co

Seemed to time this one just right. The players from the game were all shuffling onto the bus. All off to watch the grand final no doubt. Which is what I am off to do, mmm maybe one more

Great hide, took us a while. Read the clue again and then boom, found it! TFTC!

Checked, all good.

Not inside. Photos to prove it. Next time maybe

Will check

Very busy with a game on progress

Didn't find it

New experience and a new hiding spot to use next time tftgc

Fun new place to use as a spot

DNF 16/6

No luck for us today.

**# 24592** Found on our 2019 trip to Qld for winter.
A fine Autumn day for a drive around the Banyo series with Simber15.
Not that many muggles around here today and many good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache Pprime (P`),
***Roostaman***

Nice and easy on a Sunday morning! Out with Roostaman.

No joy for us today.

It got the better of us today. Kids enjoyed climbing though

Found it eventually, should have followed my instincts initially

tftc. Some light muggle traffic even on a rainy day. Had to be stealthy.

Tftc

Sneaky hide, hint very helpful and coords spot on. TFTC!
