Drive no further South East Nanango, Queensland, Australia
By youngoldfella on 10-Sep-13. Waypoint GC4MQ0X

A quick find, pity the road is closed off. Will have a bushwalk instead. TFTC

Drive no further is exactly what I did in the new geomobile. Way too washed out for Suzi so walked it we did! Tftc

Heading the advice the car was parked and then it was on to the shanks pony, well after grabbing this one of course. Next person may like to bring a spare container as it seems someone liked what was here before - at least they left the log book!

Parked almost on top of this one and couldn't ignore it as we were so close. Made my way to a good size log and found nothing. Widened the search area and found a smaller log with the zip lock bag and log inside but no ammo tin. With the log signed and no replacement container on us, log was placed further cover. The log was in good condition. Thanks YOF et all for a stoppage point on this drive.

The road is really no good for cars. We made the mistake of heading on the road on the right at first. We soon rectified that error and had the cache in hand. TFTC

Nice big one. Parked the car and did the rest on foot. TFTC

Found whilst on a very non direct route to QOGM - Charleville 2022. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching. TFTC youngoldfella
Find #11001

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

Catching up on some previous finds. TFTC

Stopping in Nanango for a couple of days as we bimble around before we head back to Ipswich. Another lovely winters day, with fantastic caches!

TFTC youngoldfella

It’s been another good day of caching with Patrol14 and we’re close to starting the two and a half hour drive home…

We’ve come out here chasing Campfire attributes for a crazy QOGM Challenge Cache from Cunnamulla… The road signs here indicate that we can’t go any further… With time getting away from us, we may have to start here next time rather than finish…

A nice quick find to round off my day… tftc…

I didn’t know, but all my Christmas wishes were about to come true on the way home… and I didn’t have to remove any clothing…

While out on one of our geocaching days with Peppa, we discussed how many oldies we have found and mentioned "Noises of Tarong". So a day trip to the area was planned and today we finally found it.
Stopping to grab a few caches on Peppa's list, we came to this cache and noticed the sign. Being in a sedan we decided not to venture further down this track, so we were content with finding this cache. SL then returned as found.

A nearby sign had triggered a memory of a trip our 4WD club took many years ago taken from the Dirty Weekends book (not that type of weekend) that started near Moore and continued up the old backroad to Nanango via 7 Mile Diggings. Was a great trip and the highlight was just as we started along the road towards Taromeo we came across this huge carpet snake lying on the road. Head one side, tail the other... Hubby tried to coax it off the road with a stick. I am taking photos of this snake and out of my peripheral vision I see movement and a stick lands right beside the snake. It rears up and then I also see 3 people running backwards behind me.... (some child from our party thought it would help). Hubby managed to coax it off the track so we could continue... What excitement!! No snakes were seen today.

TFTC youngoldfella - a fav point for the memory.

We had just finished a long walk but stopped at this cache.
Some 4wds came up from the track past here just as we stopped.
NF located the cache very quickly and signed the logbook.

A quick stop here with wombles after a hot hike out to the falls. Cache found without a hassle.

Thanks for the cache youngoldfella

We are staying couple of days in Nanango - for old and new caches.

Tftc Youngoldfella

Back in Nanango. There are couple of old and new caches for us to enjoy.

We drove a little bit further.

Tftc Youngoldfella

I was planning a group bike ride circuit to ride through Old Coach Road and on checking out geocaches along the way I could not help but notice a few newer listings from Albyalbatross&Nicole . I could not resist by to do an advance ride into the area just to get the geocaches, especially given this cache is bit off the loop ride trail we have planned.

After the mandatory pre ride coffee and cake at Blackbutt Bakery 2 of us set off to ride through to Seven Mile Diggings picking up caches along the way and then head for this location.

Now given we had come from the reverse directions we can report a similar sign exists at the opposite end of this road. We can also report that it appears that some vehicles still seem to be able to get through. However i suspect you need a good high clearance vehicle and no respect for your car to use this track.

Dual suspension mountain bikes have no such trouble. We rode the tracks with gingerly but with ease and legally to boot.

Looks like signage does put off a few geocachers seems there a more logs here than any of the others in a bit further. Looks like people have forgotten how to walk.

Make sure you smell the caching s, it is not just another number.

Came out to see if we could find this unloved cache today and after I looked in two wrong places it was found quickly by geohubby holding the gps. I’d exited the car with a location in mind and of course I should have looked where the co- ords wanted to send me. The cache is in great condition and we gladly signed the log. Many thanks for placing it YoungOldFella - it was a nice drive.
Cheers and happy caching!

Yep...the road has gotten dodgy now... broken bits every where...

Nice drive out to this one

Aah gotta love rest days but sitting still is not that easy Surprised when the road ran out down in these parts and took off on foot. Looks like hillbilly country with all those hub cabs stuck on poles... Yeehaw! But as it IS a slow-mo day I only collected this cache and left.

Heading up to Kilkivan to attend the annual event, which we've become quite find of over the last few years.

Instead of taking the boring highway route, we're heading out through Nanango and stopping here and there to make some finds along the way of ones we've missed previously or that have been published since our last visit.

Thanks for the string of caches youngoldfella.

Out and about in the area finding a few caches before meeting up with some friends at lunch time in Yarraman.
A quick find here before parking the car.
Thanks for the cache.

OK !!
I will drive no further
And for the final four caches out here I shall stroll

The first stroll was rather short,
as I had parked the geomobile next to the cache

A quick find as a local who I had disturbed,
took off in a cloud of dust with his chainsaw in tow

Bl@@dy timber stealers
No respect for our forests,
or wildlife [:o]

TFTC

The road to this point was not trouble for the geomobile. A short hunt to locate the cache.

Tftc! Love these old ammo tin caches

TFTC

Found it. TFTC

Biggest is not always best. Pretty easily found. Great swag. Thankyou.

#7765 Cache Found

After being idle and tied up with household chores over the last few weeks, It didn't take to much prodding to decide a mini road trip was in order.
After consulting the trusty map decided that a little adventure North through Yarraman, Narango and Kingaroy. And because youngoldfella places his caches along some great country roads the marjority of attempts would be on his caches, With a few others thrown in for good measure Maybe the road has detoriated because of funding for repairs??? Nice cache thanks for bringing me here and for the adventure.

Thanks for the great cache and adventure youngoldfella

This Day in Music
1980, AC/DC scored their first UK No.1 album with Back In Black. It was the first AC/DC album recorded without former lead singer Bon Scott (who died on 19 February 1980 at the age of 33), and was dedicated to him. The album has sold an estimated 49 million copies worldwide to date, making it the second highest selling album of all time, and the best selling hard rock or heavy metal album, as well as the best selling album ever released by a band.

**# 14128** Found on our 2016 winter escape trek.
A fine warm sunny winters day for a drive around the outskirts of Nanango.
A good find and no muggles around here today, so I think I can go a bit further........
Thanks for the cache youngoldfella,

Smilie #3513

Day 2 collecting smiles around Nanango/Kingaroy.
After a few dramas with the Geo-beast, flat tyres & such, we were soon on the road looking for adventure.
4 of 31 found today.

Pulled up, stepped out, signed, replaced & on our way!
Wow, that was quick! LOL ...

TFTC youngoldfella

We did this some late in the day and so enjoyed the serenity and beauty of the countryside. Great cache. Thanks to youngoldfella for its placement and adding to our enjoyment of this location.

Out gathering a few more smilies that we have missed on previous occasions. Thanks youngoldfella.

Captain Terror and I were in Nanango for the weekend. We came for the event and we stayed for the wonderful caches and delicious breakfasts at the bakery. This was the 23rd and last cache for the day. We drove over to this one and obeyed the 'drive no further' in the cache name. We headed over to GZ and made the quick find. Once our names were in the logbook we replaced the cache as found and headed back to the car and off towards dinner with a few caching friends. Thanks for the cache youngoldfella.

This afternoon Net88 and I were on the brink of retiring to the tent for the evening, but a last drive and bit of exploring was chosen instead. The same road the campsite was on lead to McCauley Weir, and despite me wanting to see it, the council does not want me to see it. Thankfully, there are geocaches nearby. We'd just found another in the area and this was our last find for a hectic day that started early morning and included lots of geocache finds, a massive event and a bush bash near Tarong.

I was glad the description for this one made more sense than the signs and we parked not too far away from the geocache. A brief consultation with the GPSr lead us right to the obvious spot and another, typical, suitable youngoldfella container. The logbook was signed, then everything replaced. While bummed about the gates across the road and no visit to the weir, I liked the Seven Mile Diggings area and wouldn't mind doing the walk one day. Oh, and on the drive out we saw where we'd go to look at Christmas lights tomorrow night. An excellent ending to our day on the South Burnett. Thanks for this geocache, youngoldfella

Gotcha!!! TFTC

we were checking out this are due to the history of the diggings and found this cache while we were here TFTC

We did drive past the cache.
Checked out the water fall as it had been raining complete with hale.
Thanks for bringing us here.
Cache in good order. Thanks for the cache.
We are visiting all the way from Ballarat Victoria.

Our last cache for the day. What a shame the road doesn't go through anymore. Thanks youngoldfella for your hides.

On a trip to Nanango via the Brisbane River Valley, Western Branch to place some caches for the Nanango Event in 6 weeks, just couldn't pass these without a look see.
An easy find @ 1345, had a couple of caches to place around here.
All with the cache

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there youngoldfella. We found your cache "Drive no further" at 3:04:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 11412.
[Blue]
Today was just the sort of day for another sight seeing tour around some of the roads and tracks in the area. In our travels we found 10 many and varied caches ranging in size from micro to large. A big thank you to all the CO's for placing the caches we found.

We walked.
[/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]

This was the next on the list.
Pulled up near to GZ and the cache was soon to hand.
We could see why the road ended with a property down the hill.
Signed the log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks youngoldfella All good with this cache

After a month of no caching we (Firebreather03, muggle husband and I) decided to take advantage of the perfect winter weather and head north for the day. This was a busy little road today!! But once at GZ we were all alone. Nice quick find here. TFTC youngoldfella

Fantastic location. Kids loved the open space. Thanks for bringing us out here.

One of 8 caches for the day after an early start, Then a walk around town picking up the answers op the puzzles
Thanks for the cache youngoldfella

Found Ok

Tftc

nice cache

tftc

TFTC, this is the biggest one to find thanks.

TFTC youngoldfella out and about with Purple_Ninja_00 his new GPS is working well

I am conducting an experiment and the only way I can do this with my own caches is this way. There are not the number of other hiders caches within 200kml radius of my home. The experiment will run from 24/12 till after Easter 2014 and it will involve in part having to find some of my own caches as I do not want to drive over 300klms every week to get the result I am looking for. I am also using a different GPSr to that used to set up these hides. Now using my brand new Magellan 710. Experiment not going as well as I was expecting. I do realise that it is frowned upon to find your own caches but sometimes one just has to let any comments come and go.

Love ammo tins
