GRANITE BELT BIKE TRAIL, White Knight Glen Aplin, Queensland, Australia
By Rainforest Cookie on 08-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4RQWA

Cache is gone.

Great little hide. Soon spotted it and had it in hand and signed. Found in good condition. Thanks again.

Easy one.

A slower day today preparing for the trails tomorrow, we did some excellent caches today, 30 caches in 3 hours ,all fine finds, many thanx to all cache placers for the efforts put in, top stuff

Thankd

Found at 3:55:00 PM, staying in Stanthorpe for a couple of days and grabbing a few caches before continuing on our way North to escape Wagga's winter. We started the Granite Belt Bike Trail this morning and soon realised that if we were going to have any chance of completing it in one day we would need a bit more horsepower so we swapped the bikes for the Geomobile.

Thanks Rainforest Cookie.

Haha that was harder than I thought! No pen so didn't sign

Hi

Found this on a nice day out with the family. Thanks for the cache. Searchwise 015.

When I first spied this series, I thought id walk or cycle it, turns out, its more of a driveable Trail...

Visiting QLD from Central Coast NSW, and attending the Stanthorpe MEGA EVENT for about a week. Camping at the showground, caching days done mainly with SpikeyMikey, meeting up with members of CCG, HAVOC, and others from all over Australia.
Many thanks to all responsible for a smooth operating event, my first Mega, and first visit to Stanthorpe. Plenty of reasons for a near future visit
Whilest it did rain and drizzle almost every day, I much preferred this over hot days, which is what I encounted on the Gold Coast return journey, as well as a repeated bout of coughing with the flu on the long drive home.

Great Puzzles, Power Trails, landscapes, History, Apples!, and company. Politeness and respect by all

Many Personal records smashed this weekend First MEGA, Finds per day, Altitude, etc

The mega is over and its time to go home so doing a few caches on the way, thanks to all the CO's who helped make this event possible

I've never seen this idea to straining a fence. Great, thanks for showing.

Sadly Oz Mega Mega is over till next year. We are super bummed, but we love this area so much that we are staying for a couple more days before we start making our way home. Thanks to all the cache owners, volunteers and friendly residents we have met. We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

Bit of a sad day today, being the last day of the Queensland 2015 Mega Event. Many cachers are already packing up and heading home. Not us though - we have another day to fill in, hoping to find as many of the unfound caches around the Stanthorpe area as we can. Couldn't leave this one behind. Giving this one a favouriite point for the smile I got from the sign over the road. Thanks for the cache Rainforest Cookie

Nasty, nasty. Proved way higher than a difficulty 1.5 for me this morning. Relieved to eventually find the cache. Thanks for the hide.

We enjoyed our drive along the back roads to find these caches, seeing some great countryside, beaut hides, lots of laughs and no DNFs.

Out and about for a days caching with Haveanez and Mvyrmnd picking up a couple series of caches during the Mega weekend.

The weather wasn't the best but we didn't let that deter us from getting out and enjoying the Stanthorpe and surrounding areas caches.

This little series of caches came recommended by many around the campsite at the Mega weekend.
With Haveanez needing a few more finds to log the Mega as a milestone we came down this way to find a few more of the smaller series of caches.
This would have to be the widest "bike trail" I would have ever seen

TNLN, Cheers.

Thanx Rainforestcookie a good hide

After a rather eventful (read expensive, long and tiresome) trip down to the Mega, and spending yesterday and the morning trying to diagnose issues with the car, we decided we had better go find some caches.

Easy find, at 1510hrs. With all the cachers running around town, we decided to head out in a random direction to see what we could find. This is where our adventures took us.

Cheers

Once we had our hands on it we received a cheer from a group in the house in paddock opposite.

Day 2 of our return to Stanthorpe saga. Began the day with the Bike Trail and returned to it later in the day. Enjoyed the link to various goodies in the caches but our GPS hated the rocks. Jumped to conclusions here but eventually located it.

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day six was fairly gloomy and wet, but we started by heading up to the Bald Rock area, even though it turned out to be too wet to attempt the climb. Then it was back to the main road and trail caching for the rest of the way to Stanthorpe. Thanks.

Like this one.

Day 73 of my trip to Brisbane.

Today, we're heading home after a week in Stanthorpe. I'm packed, so are the GeoSchnauzers, so is the car. We're off. Before we leave the area, there's a string of Bike Trail caches that I wanted to do but didn't get to. So I'll do them now!!! Then, I'll use caches to break up the trip.

No 3 of 12 today. Thanks, Rainforest Cookie. I parked away from this one, and walked the GSes up for an easy find.

Took a little while for the penny to drop. Mind you I was straining that hard

Nice little hide. Cache dry and in good condition.

Thanks Rainforest Cookie

Out on the trail with Aussiemates. I like this one... TFTC. Now for a stop in at Jester Hill....

Weekend in Stanthorpe with Stealth Seeker. We were going to ride the bike trail but with winds forecast at up to 35klm/hr we changed our strategy. Very glad we did. Even in the car this was a big day.

Another find for me (woohoo) We usually go about 40/50. Have to wait and see how the weekend ends up (Competitive much?? Nah!!!)

Mrs. Herbz walked up to GZ at just the right angle and spotted something shiny. Ah ha, there it is! TFTC.

Picking up a few caches while in Stanthorpe, after attending an event yesterday.
We found a good variety of cache hides and sizes, in some great locations.
This one was found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Rainforest Cookie, for us and others to find.

TFTC This was a cracker of a cache. The Rooster had a wander, but no joy. Meanwhile I was reading previous logs and googling terminology when it was quite clear he was having more trouble than he should. Upon his return, I leapt out of the car and nabbed it in nanoseconds thanks to the research.. I didn't think this would be the day I learnt about straining. Before that I thought the cure was prunes, but there you go...

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Rainforest Cookie. We found your cache "GRANITE BELT BIKE TRAIL, White Knight" at 12:18:00 PM today.
This was our 6th cache find in a caching run of 9 Finds & 1 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9428.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was a quick raid to see how many "Bike Trail" caches we could find on the western side of the highway.

Please excuse the cut-n-paste logs for the series.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Easy find then up to the winery to sample some wares. I love driving these back country roads they are so peaceful and the views of the Severn River are delightful, makes we wish it was warm enough to kayak.
tftc and the series Rainforest Cookie

After a fun filled week-end caching and going to the Christmas in July event I still have one more day in town.
So I headed south and slowly worked my way north before continuing on home to Brissy.
A quick find here as I drive around the back roads.
Thanks for the cache.

Found at 1104 while in the area to attend the C I J event at the Summit this weekend. TFTC.

Sweet_bee and I were in the area and we rolled into this one next.

I should give up judging where caches are going to be by looking at the TomTom. Little did I know I had parked the car next to GZ - but it took me to galavant over the road to realise I was in the wrong

I searched about the new GZ before I spotted the well-hidden prize. Nicely little spot indeed. The cache is in good condition - even though it took a month of sundays to get the log back into the container

TFTC Rainforest Cookie

I’d read a prior log that was very handy So I knew what to look for here. Trickier than most of the others in this series, which was nice actually! Spotted it after a minute or two. Thanks Rainforest Cookie
