Awesome. Rly fun #fun

TTFC - a difficult first one along the track

Found

This was such a great geocache! And with a lovely view Oh, drat. I meant to give it a fave point, but I accidentally gave it to the cache in the carpark * * * * *I had a lovely day walking this trail near Googong Dam and completing the Queen series. It was a lovely four-hour walk gathering these and all of the others in the area. I only had one DNF for the day; all other geocaches in the series were in good condition. Then I headed back towards Jerrabomberra to finished off a multi cache that I ran out of time to collect yesterday. I headed home as the sunset, by the light of the waxing gibbous moon.Thanks for the cache, Toy Hunters!

Container replaced after hearing through the grapevine that the old container was cracked and damaged. And indeed, it was. Cache on! Or rock on!

Thanks

What a great start of the series!!!Done on a fantastic Tuesday off work with EA41CC and BuckoraiderMy dad LOVES Queen! So we are listening to the soundtrack

Geez weve been eyeing off this power trail for awhile! Today we finally started it, on a bit of a whim while caching with Baristayans old man, EA41 Camino Contigo.Ive always loved this song, and hence Ive always loved the movie The Mighty Ducks. Pretty cool spot this too, with awesome views overlooking the dam. Thanks!

Found while on a walk with Toy Hunters. Make sure you're not stumped trying to find this one!

Making the most of the opportunity to duck out for a few hours of caching fun as the Geocaching Queens for todays group. Barb2e, Joolay, Search4, ToyHunters, GLISS, Nibbletricecrackers, and Aykayem.

This was a quick and easy find and ️ here at GC4M8YQ GZ on a beautiful sunny winters day. And a very special touch with Queen music to enjoy on our way around the circuit.

Thanks so much for the cache Toy Hunters And of course for getting me out and about and enjoying this area too

Tftc - great views

Not too hard for the kids to find. Thanks! Time to look for the next one in the series!

Thanks! Was a scenic find

Hey Toy Hunters, found it. This is our second last, we thought it would be easier to get to number 20 from here after this one.

Out with a walk to this area on a sunny day.
Decided to get some caches on the way.

Nice easy find tftc

Today Turtle284 and I came out to find some caches at Googong.
Had a great time locating all the caches, and enjoying the sights as we went.

Thankfully, we are able to say that all the caches we found were in good condition, and we experienced zero DNF's. Thanks for a great walk!

#2361 Number 14 for the day and a nice quick find after a short ascent. Logged with injuryman as my co-pilot this afternoon. TFTC. Rock on!

A wander around this Anzac Day with Stylish Parasite saw us completing 24 caches! Was pretty impressed as generally when I have put together a plan of caches we always end up with some DNF's. Anyway Queen is my absolutely favourite band, ever since I was 7 years old and got Crazy Little Thing Called Love on single. I'm turning 50 this year, so it's been a while.

We did the whole Queen Collection and picked up the few extras along the way. Took us four hours on the dot, I am a bit slow, and we did stop for a wine and cheese stop at about half way.

A lovely way to finally click over 200 finds on my weekend of getting back into caching!

Thanks for the journey.

Missed this at the start of my walk but got it on the way back to the car. This one had more items in its cache than all the others, but added in my last token. TFTC

Thx

Back for more Queen. What a great song to start the series with. TFTC and series Toy Hunters.

Amazing treasure spot, reminds me of old western movies! Tftc

I know I was only in Canberra earlier in the week for caching but this time is for another reason… a geo-event! (GA19402 & GC8T8JZ) This means that for a couple of us, it turned into two events as I hosted a GCA event about lunch time. My event was nice and small with only a few attendees but still great. Afterwards, I went with some others to find some other nearby caches. Next, it was time to check into my motel and have a rest. I then heard that there was a group of Cachers heading out to find a new WIG cache in Woden before the next event starts. A great walk around the parks and a unique hide. I am now sworn to secrecy…! Then it was time for the second event of the day. It was great fun catching up with many people and talking all things Geo! After a great sleep, I decided that before I headed home, I would attempt the ‘Queen’s greatest hits’ cache trail. It was a nice drive to Googong Dam but before I parked I found a solved puzzle cache. After finding a parking spot, I went for the 2-2.5 hour walk find the Queen caches and a few other ones along the way. It was a great walk with many great views of the lake and Googong. Then it was time to head home but I decided on taking a detour via Young to find the new cache there. A FTF on this one. A great couple days away and I hope to get to a couple of the events in ACT during December. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I have found and for allowing them to bring me and others enjoyments. TFTE’s & TFTC’s

A mild morning made the perfect opportunity to walk this power trail. The western foreshores walk is a bit boring for mine, with glimpses of Googong township mixed with low hills. The return track along the dam is much prettier, although quite overgrown in parts after the recent rain. This was a very well curated and maintained sequence of caches to find - all in very good condition with tailored logs for each cache. Thanks, Toy Hunters!

This cache was a straightforward find at GZ.

Great little giddy hole. Pencil needs sharpening. Didn’t have one to swap.

Nice find and great views

Prefect spot

Really tired now and it is so good to be able to see my car and the final GZ from where I was standing at the top of the hill. Thank goodness it is all downhill from #2. Another good anthem that really stands out for Queen. I will not repeat the main log as I know the CO has read it. Thanks for a brilliant series, really sorry that I missed doing it with you - everyone that went had nothing but praise for the way you handled the tour - especially delighted by the music. Well done Toy Hunters.

Silvereyes found this one 5 days ago when she came out here to do a recce for us. Now we have completed the Queen Trail and many thanks Toy Hunters for a great experience. It was a great walk and lots of fun.

That's me - wrong side of the tracks - er - fence!! Tftc

Nice one

Thanks for the cache! TNLN

found it!

Great spot

Alright .. 1 down, let’s see if we can get them all!!

Nice location

Another great dam view. Pencil busted so not logged.

What a glorious day for a winter stroll around Googong Dam with the oldest two geokids (5 and 7) while the wife and youngest have coffee back in town. It may have only been 11 degrees but we still got a sweat up at times and the youngest was looking for a ‘bus’ to come pick her up by the end

No DNFs the whole way was great - thanks for great coords and recent maintenance on a few. Sorry for a somewhat generic log on these.

This was a quick find which we guessed the location of from the track. Kids were disappointed we left the track before we’d even started! Ha ha TNLN TFTC

What a pretty view! TFTC!

Thanks for the cache. Doing the Queen Trail in a beautiful winter's day.

Found during my adventures at the Clear Waters mega. Thank you for all the caches!

Me coming to Queanbyan had one prerequisite: doing the Queen trail. We started with ziggiau and me in the morning, Milo-Mike and NoTomorrow joined us and we picked up Bulldozer and Kaos at the track. Talk about music bringing people together!

Cheers for taking us there and for the view

Thanks KB logging for lucky9

Arrived for the Clear Waters Mega Event and decided to conquer the Queen power trail. TFTC!

So very much enjoyed this tour and very glad the Jo from chooknchunk talked me into it! Did the tour with her and TG4theWin (as well as many others!) Toyhunters did an amazing job of leading us through the tour - his love of Queen made the walk! TFTC!

Both Happy Uke and myself were down this way for a MEGGGA and on the recommendation of a friend. We linked up with some other cachers and had a 'plesant' walk.

Thanks!

Day 2 of our Clear Waters event and Queanbeyan/ACT adventures started off with a delightfully sunny and fresh morning which allowed us to find plenty of well placed caches. We spent the morning in Googong before heading back into Queanbeyan to explore the city centre.

Tap tap clap! Tap tap clap! Let’s get this PT started! As we knew that the organised tour was starting here at 10am, we wanted to get in early, and enjoy the crisp morning air. The Queen PT had been one of our goals for this trip and we were rewarded with a most pleasant walk beside the dam. Team MavEtJu and I were joined by a lovely group of cachers who ended up signing as MEEL KB. Hope the date stamp helped all that followed that day.

Thanks toy hunters for placing and maintaining this cache and the whole series.

Out enjoying a most wonderful autumn day and taking the walk with the CO of these Queen caches - toy hunters, and our great little group tour. Caches were found with no problem while we enjoyed listening to the various Queen songs on our way to each geocache. Many thanks toy hunters for taking the time out of your own geocaching time while we are all here for the big MEGA event. We had a wonderful time and appreciate your efforts in placing and maintaining these geocaches.
Cheers and happy caching!

Day 2 of the Clear Waters Mega Event.
After finding the first cache, it was obviously time for the second cache. A light uphill climb made even easier as Toy Hunter has *We will rock you* blearing from his backpack.
The drum and foot stomping in this song vibrated through his body.

Close to the cache it was obvious where the hiding place would be and rather than signing under our joint team name, each of the individual caches added their team name to the log.

While waiting for signing duties to be completed, one of the teams mentioned that the rhythm of this song is so universal that he had his class singing along using nursing rhymes. As an example he gave a short performance of *I'm a little teapot, short and stout* and indeed, it worked really well in this Queen song.

TFTC.

Found as part of the Queens power trail take 2.

Found while doing the Queen series. TFTC

This morning I was fortunate to be invited along on a caching quest by the Ziggsta and Mavman. I wasn't the only stray they picked up with ozmilo joining too. Haha. Deciding to use real first names instead of geocaching ones, we came up with the team name of MEEL.

I had a great time walking around a number of traditional, multi and mystery caches in the dam area and getting to know our new friend MiloMike. Having sent a little lonely (definitely not alone though) the last 5 days, it was great to hang out with old friends and let my hair down a bit, singing along to Queen songs and chatting up a storm with the Ziggsta. Haha

Perfect weather. Best company. Beautiful location. Great caches.

Visiting Canberra for the Mega Event and having a wonderful time touring the city with my host and sister Tealby, finding many caches in the process.
This Queen series was done in the company of a group other caches as one of the tours provided by the Mega, and very kindly led by the cache's CO, playing Queen music as we walked along.
Many thanks for a great day out, the guidance and all the caches, toy hunters.

Headed down to Googong Dam to do the Queen trail and surrounding caches with some new caching friends Ziggiau, NoTomorrow and Mavetju. As we started the trail, we joined forces with Bulldozer72 and Kaos. To save room in the logbooks, we logged as MEEL KB.

The vast majority of caches were found quickly - one or two needed a bit more time. Thoroughly enjoyed caches and the beautiful scenery.

Thanks for the cache.

When planning a family activity for a day at the mega, I noted this little trail, and being a big Queen fan for many years, coincidentally starting when I lived in Canberra for two years in the early 90's, this was a great choice. So the four of us watered and booted up for the 6km hike and hit the (well worn!) trail. With our 6 year old we managed to complete the circuit in under 3 hours, with no DNFs. A great afternoon - thanks!
I scampered up the hill for the first two while the family walked along the flatter track.

Finalf29 and I spent the day in the Googong and what an enjoyable day it was. We paddled, walked (with a bit of huffing and puffing), met a lovely geocaching family Team737 and cached most of the Queen series with them... by the end of the day we were knackered, but still had a brilliant time doing it. Thanks to all the cache owners and thanks to Finalf29 and Team737 for wonderful company.

Found today with my Dad, Mum and my brother, awesome little trail to get some caches. TNLN

I was always going to make the most of this Queen experience and right from the start decided to “sing” to the crowd. One of my fave Brian May solos.

Attending the Queanbeyan Clear Waters mega event, this was a day packed with hikes and power trails. Our team "LUCKY9" started off the day walking around Googong Dam targeting the Queen geocache trail, before then heading south through Royalla and visiting Michelago, and then heading north via Burra. A massive day caching indeed in great weather.

This geocache didn't take long to find, and the cache and contents were in good shape. Thanks toy hunters.

Found as part of Queen Tour #1 - a morning full of great fun, friends, music and caches.
The beat of this track echoed over the valley below and helped us all march up the hill to this appropriately hidden cache. TFTC toy hunters.

Caching day with “Lucky9” during Mega event, thank you so much for placing it toy hunters.

Attending the Clear Water 2019 mega this Easter in Queanbeyan. Found with a group catchers and logged as "Lucky9" Thanks for the series and for placing it toy hunters
