I approached this from the nearby side-street of which I think is the better way to do this one. An interesting read of what was the historical old train station here, and a little sad to not see a plaque or historical sign. The cache was a quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [Slow Puncture (LJCC)](https://coord.info/PR7770T) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today turned out to be quite an epic day of adventures, which was in contrast to my usual Monday work day with thanks to flexible work!It was an early morning start meeting [chamad](https://coord.info/PRPP06G) at Mount Samson, and we walked in the scrubland finding a few high tree fishing geocaches. Following that, the technical tree climb [I See Better From a Distance](https://coord.info/GC6BNVZ) was conquered with a small group.It was then a northern drive to scope [Licorice Challenge](https://coord.info/GCA9J9Y), and despite having heard about its sketchy tree climb aka tough Terrain rating, it lived up to its reputation.I then closed out the day with [MeAndDe](https://coord.info/PR9CNGM) to walk the mud flats of Sandstone Point finding a few Little Birds. I had planned to kayak these, but this appeared to be a reasonable alternative. We detoured past Beachmere to complete the [Beachmere - worth a visit!](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/1920324e-f45b-4471-9c63-83e9302f835a) Adventure Lab, and made one last swing past its bonus cache.

Sandra took the geomonsters to the pictures this morning to see the Minions: The Rise of Gru, so I headed out to check out the caches over at Clear Mountain.

Log was too wet to sign. Left a calling card instead. A quaint little quiet village.

Thanks!!

After a brief stop at the hall, we found the old station remnants. A muggle and his dog were nearby but just leaving as we walked over to the concrete foundations.
Still very windy here. Soon had the container in hand after struggling to find the best entry angle without getting a stick in the eye.

After attending the Mega Event at Dayboro I had a few more caches to find. Found it in the open on the ground so it was an easy find. Log signed and cache replaced as the clue said. TFTC
 
06-Apr-21
Dayboro Day, Final Day
Today we chose to retrace our tracks to look for caches we had passed previously
The finds were mostly along backroads. It's always good caching in the country.
This also included a drive to Lake Samsonvale to complete the AL

I’d never have known this was a railway station site without this cache! Found quickly - lid was slightly damp from all the humidity and rain we’ve been having but not bad, considering. It’s falling apart, though, and we had a little cascade of paper as we opened the logbook.

Quick and easy find at GZ. Can't understand why this historical site is not better celebrated. Couldn't even see an information board or any acknowledgement of the history of the place. Such a shame but glad I got to see it. Thanks for bringing us here.

Snuck out of work for a late and long lunch today, and decided to grab this cache. This cache was on the radar because it fulfilled another degree in the 360 challenge. Arriving at GZ I thought wow, what a view. Winter in Queensland really is the most amazing time of year. I had no idea what I was looking for, but saw an obvious hiding hole as I parked my car. Yes, yes and yes. Quick find, cache and log are in good condition. Quickly signed the log and headed back out for the next sneaky cache. TFTC - and TB visits.

Out today with Chamad and Team Tyrrell chasing down a few caches on the far side of Lake Samsonvale for the day.

We met up at the first cache out by Cedar Creek and we all got into the one car and we headed off to collect many more.

We had a great day out hunting in this beautiful scenic area.

Hi there Slow Puncture (LJCC).

Today's venture had us heading out from our camp at Dayboro Showground to spend a morning caching with Liz & Bruce. All up we found 37 caches & DNF'd 0 in this cache run.

Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

At a friend's wedding right next door. A cache was in order while we were waiting for the bride who was running late. It was a bit of a marathon over to the gz as the girls were in heels and falling over them while me, the only man tripped over them. Eventually we found the geocache and claimed victory. Smoke a smoke for the lucky bride n groom to the next peeps who find this cache. We got back to the wedding just as the bride showed up! Winning tftc and for something to fill in late wedding time.
