must be gone so its gone too.

Searched high and low

searched high and low- no luck

seems this one might be gone Rainforest cookie and I will check on it in November

Think its no longer here

I think we need a few lessons in nano hunting!!

we are the nasty nano guru's , lol, another find in less than 10 seconds, many thanx for bringing us here, Texas is a top little spot , cheers

Great hide. Thanks.

Unfortunately we could not find this one. We searched for at least half an hour but hungry tummies got the better of us and we had to go for lunch.

Out go a Sunday drive and ended up in Texas. Thanks for cache. A sneaky one that took us a little while but success!!

Very sneaky Tftc.

Hard find.

Yeah our 50th cache

TFTC Our cache find 1953, the year of my birth Interesting spot will have a look at the web page mentioned in the description. Staying in Texas for the night, down by the riverside. This will be our last cache in Q'land for this trip as tomorrow we head back across the border to NSW. It's been great fun up here and we've enjoyed all of it, especially the Mega.

Passing through town, using the dump point, excited to find this cache close by. Even more excited when I found an empty log scroll..... Not FTF for me. this is an old cache. Thanks Rainforest Cookie

Wombat the Anthus laptop Geocoin visited, as did Runciple's Grasshopper, a tassie trekkers pathtag, a sweet - sour pathtag, a grannysmith path tag, a geo achievement 500 caches award, and an f14 Tomcat and a scotch and soda, oh, and a bundle of keyrings that I have collected since caching in WA in August 2013 (current count is 23)

[Teal][font=Verdana]20271 caches found

Decided go to cache in the country instead of Town... Always enjoyed drive the car and plenty to see history, country, animals etc.
Thanks for hide the caches - signed the log.

Again thanks Rainforest Cookie[font=Verdana]^][/Teal]

Quick find here today log needs replacing as it is in two pieces. TFTC

After attending the mega event we decided to head inland for a few days. This was one of several caches found along the way. An interesting spot. The log book was full.
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Found on our travels following the mega event at Stanthorpe. TFTC.

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! So, I attended the Stanthorpe mega at the request of several members of the organsing team. Having been to every event designated "Mega" in Australia up to this time I almost felt an obligation to oblige. I knew I would have fun catching up with the many friends I've made Australia-wide and that caching would be done -- and done it was! These are the finds I made while in the area and I enjoyed all of them despite the rainy and a tad cold weather. I cached with Uni, Shonky, and SX as well as Moneydork throughout the weekend. Thanks to all who placed caches in the region, they were all enjoyable.

So that's what happened to the Easter Bunnie!!!
Nice location - though I'm not sure our black humour about the Easter Bunnie was intended. TFTC

We couldn't help but build a detour to Texas into out MEGA trip as we were caching with SEMIK, who is initially from Texas USA.

We never saw any Wabbits
Maybe they are all working on Easter Sunday
Thanks for the Hunt

Found after phoning a friend. Took Nothing Left nothing. . Slgned Log

Cute placement. A quick find on my way to the Stanthorpe Mega event. TNLNSL TFTC

TFTC Rainforest Cookie

Oh so quiet while we visited GZ. Not a car or soul in sight.
Found the cache where we thought it would be. Thanks
Had a look around at the factory, the old machinery and the rail carriages up the road while we were here.
Thanks for placing this cache Rainforest Cookie.

We don't mind a rabbit stew, pity we couldn't get a rabbit. Tricky hide TFTC

Possum 202 says "I'm not sticking my hand in there !"

A quick find on road trip with Possum 202

Love those nanos!! TFTC

No luck while passing through on our way home.

Interesting history. Love Texas such a sleepy town has been good to me this past month. Will miss walking past the freeze works :p

Now heading south on a long trip home, we have the caravan on the back so it's not always possible to stop for a search. Dropped by this one after the nearby Mingoola Park but it was unattempted, we saw it is a 'nasty nano' and there were lots of muggles around. Shame!

K,n,k did not find
This time but we will
Be back
K,n,k

TFTC found with earthly 65

Nice hide, sooo quiet...not a soul around...great for caching!...thanks Rainforest Cookie

TFTC found it with earthly 65 cool little hide

Hatchook 17/7/14. TFTC

It was pretty well where we expected but well placed. Fancy exporting rabbits to England - pity we can't get them to take the rest of their rabbits back. TFTC.

Good hide, found after a brief search. TFTC

Arrived in town; parked nearby; went for a short walk when the name made sense; had a quick look; gerrynewgirl came up with the goods. TFTC

No luck for me here. A few muggles in the area so I did have to rush things along, so maybe I missed it. Thanks anyway.

I hate DNFing an easy level but we searched high and liw. No luck.

Quick find. TFTC.

TFTC nice location.

We were pleased to have the opportunity to visit the other Texas today (we have we to the Lone Star State) and managed to find this cache on our way. A nice new scroll has been inserted into this little sucker. A big thanks to Rainforest Cookie

Im thinking that with about 16 finds this log is only half full at best. So its good to go. Will be checking on it this weekend.

Git it log full

Log full at this one.

Great find except for those guardians.

Easy drive up and find for a nano, just be careful of the guardians. Tftc

1554. Located and signed 12 noon, funny after being here I felt like some KFC for lunch ! ( ps I didn't get my wish )
Rainforest Cookie - TFTC and the history lesson.

Might need some mortein for this one - resident redback to deal with. TFTC

I believe I found the hide, but did not locate the "cache" itself.

Found while in Texas for a wedding.
The wedding was around the corner at the heritage centre Chapel. Thought I would do this while waiting for the wedding to start
signed as T4S
all good with the cache

Thanks Rainforest Cookie for the hunt today

Our second cache in texas:-)

Found with sunshinecacher93

Found with team teamridley

Would not have stopped at this place if not for GC site. Thoroughly enjoyed the building and history, can't believe an industry was built on rabbits. Cache found and signed. Thank you.

This was a quick find in an obvious location. Interesting history.

Progressively working my way south now to go west a little. Started out on the run to Texas at a reasonable hour. Giving the macropod family time to get off the road and back to bed, the live ones that is. Quick find at1130. Very quiet. TFTC Rainforest Cookie

I hadn't been to Texas for 40 years so it was great to see it again. Not much has changed as far as I could see. The locals may not agree of course. I love the sign on the Rabbit Factory. And of course there is no need for a rabbit factory any more, is there? Not after all the rabbit signs we have seen around the Granite Belt area. I bet overseas visitors must find it very strange that we can't keep little cottontails in our state.
This is a great place to bring cachers, especially those with a taste for history, so thanks Rainforest Cookie. Gts a favourite from me.

Ah, another one we were beaten to by Harleyria. Congratulations Harleyria on your FTF. We were glad to be 2nd TF though and appreciated you bringing us here Rainforest Cookie for a bit of local history. An interesting old factory. We found the nastily hidden cache and signed the log. NINO. We dipped a few trackables for miles.

Seems to be my first FTF and my first find in Qld since becoming a Geocacher! TFTC!
