This cache no longer exists. For nearly an hour, three of us swept the area out to 35 metres from GZ.
Searched and searched for quite a while Expanded the search area, absolutely no luck here today.
After some much needed rest we decided to stay put in and around Bundaberg to grab some caches and do a little exploring.
After a short walk down the trail from Mott Street we arrived at GZ. The cache was in hand quickly thanks to the hint, but it was filled with sand so we emptied it out and replaced it back afterwards.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Up from Brisbane for work/play and had time to pick up a couple of smileys. I followed the hint on this one to find this cache. Thankyou for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Found this a month or so ago. Forgot to log. Had the geokids helping me. Nice quick cache
A short stroll from the geomobile saw us signing this in no time.. sometime mid-morning today. Thanks baileyz for showing us somewhere we wouldn't have found without geocaching. Finding this cache earned me the dragon souvenir!
I found the track in, and followed it to GZ. Took a little while to find the cache, as it wasn't the type of container I was expecting. However, these aren't very waterproof, and the logsheet was damp inside its ziplock bag. Happy to report that no crawlers were encountered..
TNLN - Thanks Bailey'z!

Took the time to look for this cache while organising SES training in the area. Quick easy find. Could not sign the log as it is wet. TFTC
After the previous night’s slow 2 hour crawl through traffic from Brisbane, an excellent steak in Gympie, and a few caches, we fetched up in a sneaky spot not far out of Bundaberg where we set up camp and settled down for 4 hours of quality sleep. This morning we awoke to our alarms and Seff’s deeply subtle ‘get your asses out of bed’ blipping of Victor Del Prado’s remote locking system. We soon packed up and headed off to our first cache of the morning which was found by torchlight. Once we arrived here we did at least have the luxury of sunlight, but we still managed to make a bit of a meal of finding it until Swellerfungus put us out of our misery and one step closer to eggs bene. TFTC
After a very short nights sleep, dreaming of being run over by the silent airplanes of Bundaberg, we woke up bleary eyed but full of eagerness to get back on the hunt. It was still dark as we left at 5:30am and we cached all day until 10:30pm (all with only 4 hours restless sleep)! That is what a caching road trip his all about! At 10:30, as we were readying to find another nights salubrious accomodation (aka a spot of ground in the bush) the rains began to pour. This caught us all by surprise, and meant we could;dnt stop - so what else to do but drive 3 hours to home!
It is interesting how you interpret a clue or a comment. We tend to make so many assumptions. Mine were all wrong until I changed my way of thinking. All well with this cache. Thanks fro the fun.

With a long weekend in play it was time for another road trip for The Bromance. With Crookedpete off doing his best Jack Sparrow impersonation on a sailing boat somewhere off of Hervey Bay, the full complement of JezNDez stepped up admirably to fill his shoes. A destination of Bundaberg was set and we headed off from Brisbane Friday afternoon to begin our adventure.
Our first 70 km of travelling took 2 hours thanks to the abominable traffic heading out of Brisbane and it was around midnight before we located a sneaky spot to set up our tents off the road, not all that far out from Bundaberg. With a little over 4 hrs of sleep we quickly struck camp and headed out before sun up to hunt down our first caches of the day.
At least the sun was up by the time we arrived at this one although this did not stop us wandering around in various circles before we were eventually able to add our names into the logbook here. TFTC

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us. 
Now settled into Bundaberg for a few days, today we headed to let Geocaching be our tour guide.
Lucky for us that meant we found your cache.

Flying visit to Bundy for a family emergency, spent several days in and out of the hospital - but now heading home. Quick find at GZ.
Thanks for placing this cache, Bailey'z. Found in good condition.

*{Overall find #5491}* TFTC. We are at the CMCA rally in the Recreation precinct. We had a free day so what better way to explore the immediate area for a couple of hours. Nice find.
Found after a short hunt. Lovely area for a cache. Not sure about the hint, didn't make much sense to us. Thanks Bailey'z 
Staying in Bundaberg for a few days and had a chance to do some caching this afternoon. All caches didn't take too long to find and some were quite clever hides. Thanks to all the COs for placing the caches and showing us around Bundaberg and its surrounds.
Nice little trek, upon finding it I had some creepy crawlers come out of cache also needs a new log this one got damp with all the recent rain TFTC
Found at 1025. an easy find with the help of the hint. Log damp and fragile. TFTC.
I was waiting for this. I expected something like an eclipse tin, or container, or lunchbox.
Naturally it obviously wasn't LOLz!
Opened cache and had 'crawlers' crawling over my hand, just to add to the experience.

While staying in Bundy we put some time aside to visit loved ones at the crematorium and as we were leaving this cache popped up so we went for it.
We walked around in circles for a good while trying to make sense of the clue but with the threat of rain over our heads, we managed to find the cache before getting wet. Thanks for the fun Bailey'z

While camping at Bundaberg with Geodad (Whitey Wiskas) and Geodog (Scruffy) ...
We just had to go out and find a few caches ..
All Good .. TFTC ..

Found it just when we were about to give up we looked from a different angle, very tricky. TFTC
Crawler Country is right! After bravely venturing past the Crawlers (lead by geohubby who was the real brave one) we made it to this one and signed the log, TFTC!
Went cross country..... my powers of observation leave a lot to be desired. Got the path vack. Tricky little hide. Tftc
Actually I didn't, but my geoson did! My GPS was taking me in circles, and I was about to give up when my 10 year old looked down and spotted it 
As I parked the car a woman with a dog crossed the road behind me and disappeared into the trees along the path that I wanted to take so I politely gave here a minute before I headed along the track and kept a respectable distance behind her.
Arriving at the area I did a quick look and decided that I would read the hint. I'm glad that I did as I would not have found the spot without it.
I was signing the log when another woman with a dog came past and I gave her a cheery greeting and she replied and kept walking although the dog did come over to greet me. I bet she wondered what I was doing standing in the bushes.
I replaced the cache quickly incase any more muggles appeared and headed back to the car.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Bailey'z. We found your cache "Crawler Country" at 11:42:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11237.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the suburbs today. We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away and then taking a route determined by our GPS to the next closest cache until we ran out of time and energy.
We have been caching now for over ten years and it is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches without swaps is increasing, especially in a spots such as this - where a much larger container could have been placed. Doesn't anyone want to place large, kid friendly caches any more. [?]
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

My plan for today was to grab as many as I could around town on the geocycle. I chose a fairly central parking spot and set off hunting.
This was a pleasant surprise. There were some fun tracks in this little bit of bush. I really enjoyed my off road excursion in here.
The GPSr was a bit vague under the tree cover so the hint was a huge help in finding this one. [^]

Geodad jollyroger&son spotted this one first. What a great area to get lost in! [^] Thanks for bringing us here Bailey'z
Weather turned dampish at this stage, but fortunately it didn't take too long to locate the camouflaged container. [:o)]
GPS played tricks for a while, sorted itself out in the end. Found with bugbear86, TFTC!
With our visitors from Adelaide, good friends Skippy and SEMIK we were delighted to be able to show them around this lovely area and to be able to find this cache. Nice hide, we enjoyed the search and find. [^][^] Thanks to Bailey'z.
Over from WA and still heading Northwards but had a spot of business to take care of in Bundy while passing through. Could not resist taking the opportunity to try for a few caches while here. This was our fourth find for the day and was a delight to spot this novel hide.
Thanks for the cache Bailey'z
