Over two months since the NM log and one more DNF. Time to fix or archive please.
Last find May 2015 and several attempts and all DNF's up to last attempt April 2016. I think it is time that the CO had a look at this one.
Quite a tricky little hide this one, Mrs CacheThief figured it out though. TFTC.
A great one for little kids
But near three roads so need to keep kids in arms reach

Travelling with Stargon1 we had a three way tie of first finds. Thanks for giving us a reason to get out and about and enjoy some beautiful views.
Had us stumped for a few minutes, but then there was the all important "found it" moment. TFTC!
Last one for the series and have thoroughly enjoyed the views of the countryside and variety of hides and containers. Thanks for a well thought out series.
Arrived at the last one and did not sit as the local birds had made a mess on the seat.
A short search and soon had the final cache in hand.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Tonned
All good with this cache
A favourite from me for the series and the views of the countryside

We thought this might be another DNF. Quite a busy little spot. A bloke mowing just across the road and people coming and going non stop. We looked in quite a few spots before finding it. Eventually IolantheK noticed a place it could be 
Heading westward for a play day around Gatton with teamdfl 
and this series was our main goal for today [^]
It's a busy little intersection here
We searched a few spots, then read the recent logs, and searched some more, and just as we were ready to give up I spied the hide. Seen a few of this container now

Decided to tackle this trail (albeit backwards) on a day with predicted 38degree temps for Toowoomba! Well the temps hit that and above (up to 43degrees officially!) but we were in air-conditioned comfort in the car and couldn't think of a better way to spend such a hot day with 4 little kids!!
We really enjoyed this trail and the whole caching day, so thanks Tonned for getting us 'out there' on a day we would otherwise have been locked indoors!! [^]
From previous somewhat spoiler logs, we made a quick find on this one. What a nice bus stop - they should make them all this pretty!!!

Yes, a pretty public area, but a hot Sunday afternoon probably had most folk indoors with the airconditioner running, and maybe watching the end of the 4th test at the MCG! Tftc.
Disappointed No Fun today Finally got this fella! We were convinced it must be on the seat but we rock and kestal found it! Tftc
Having a happy dance over this one, this being our 3rd search here, I was not going anywhere until I had it. Found with angloj. TFTC

After a few recent logs suggesting this cache had disappeared, we decided o go and replace it. When we arrived at GZ we had a quick look and were very pleased to find that the cache is still there safe and intact waiting to be found. Enjoy guys
Have looked here several times but don't think it is here anymore. Can the CO check if it is still here?
Had a good, long, hard look and did not get the choccies. I was hungry for sweets, too. Oh well...
We had quite a look here but when it decied to rain we thought that was enough. As Victorians visiting the area we thoroughly enjoyed this series & the country it takes you through. We were also greatful that the road had been graded recently. That Tonned for the great series.
We were out at Preston Peaks Winery today, and this was our nearest unfound Cache. We now have found Pharaoh's Trail 1 & now 13. We'll have to make some time to complete the middle of the series. We found the Cache after a shout search and with a chilly breeze coming up the range. Cheers Tonned.
This is alas my last one for today as it appears the family car is required at home. I parked quite close to GZ and approached and had a sit while I investigated nearby the seat, as I did not come up with anything and decided to circle the tree a couple of times to see if there was anything out of the ordinary. On the second time round I saw this little one peeking out from its hiding spot begging me to sign it which I promptly obliged. Cheers to Tonned for this one
Found at 1120. I had this series in my caching plan for today. to finish the Toowoomba ones and then go country driving. My last find was on the western side of Toowoomba so started the Pharaoh's Trail series from number 13, Arrived at GZ and sat down and let the GPSr settle then found the container.
Co Ordinates accurate enough once the thing settled. There was no traffic or Muggles whilst I was there. Log sheet dry. Took 2hours and 15 minutes to do the 13 but got held up at road works twice out here in the middle of nowhere. Now for number 12

Back for second attempt at these pharaohs trial series the first time the gps was out 2 klms . this time I used two garman nu'vi gps models. Found the caches but still had trouble with gps could be because of all of the iron stone in the area.

Hmmm, we sat and thought and then a quick look around us and soon we had the cache in hand. A busy little intersection at times.
Have thoroughly enjoyed caching along the Pharaoh's Trail. A very scenic route.
Thanks for the caches, Tonned.

This was the first one I started to look at today. Initially I didn't spend a lot of time at GZ, but checked what seemed to be the most logical places and came up empty handed. The wife then had a look but she too came up empty handed. The kids start getting restless if we stay stopped in the one place too long, so we left and went on and found the rest of the new caches in the series. On the way back from #6 we spotted another cacher at #10 so I figured someone had probably already had a look at this. Arrived back here, and spotted a couple of people sitting on the bench. They have to be cachers too, so I stopped anyway and met Elstar22. We continued looking, widening the search, and trying all sorts of potential places, but with no luck. Then the junior member of Elstar22 announced she had found it - only inches away from a spot I had previously looked. Well don't I feel dumb! She opened the log quite excitedly, but alas there was already a log on it. In our 2-1/2 hour Sunday arvo drive we found 8 caches with 7 FTF's, so had a very good afternoon. Thanks for the series Tonned, it was another good excuse to get out to this scenic district.
