Found it, unfortunately full of water. Great place on the river though!
 
28-Jan-17
Driving from Hervey Bay towards Burrum Heads. Parked at the boat ramp for lunch, and walk to find a cache. We found it exposed, lying on the ground about 12 metres from GZ. Contents were scattered. We collected, signed, and rehid where our GPSr said was GZ. Email to be sent to jadhoo.
 
15-Jan-17
Found on the first day of our Hervey Bay holiday with the geokids. Tftc jadhoo!

Its all wet n soggy
 
05-Jan-17
TFTC Quick in and out as mosquitoes were attacking. Cache in good condition.
 
03-Jan-17
Coords were a bit off. Was watching phone for location and all of a sudden I saw this totally exposed. We were tempted to move it but didn't. It's now covered with sticks...a dead giveaway for a cacher but unnoticeable to a Muggle.

This cache was not found whilst participating in the Cycle Queensland 2016 Adventure Tour.

Sleepy is the right word for this lovely town. It's hard to get a coffee on a Saturday afternoon but we managed to get a nice plate of chips.

Thanks for the cache jadhoo.

Tftc a bit of wandering but a smile in the end. New page log is ok
 
13-Jul-16
Found it after a short search
 
10-Jul-16
This took a bit more of a search than we expected. With so many potential hiding spots near GZ, we had to widen our search considerably. Finally located by Madelyns eagle-eyes about 8 metres from the posted GZ.
Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

Found it
 
08-Jul-16
Had a bit of Gps jumping around but got there in the end. Update on the boat ramp it actually has gone ahead but as it was blocked at this location it's now gone in were there used to be a safe little beach for toddlers to swim. A shame to have it there but we've got to look longer than our own noses. Progress will happen.

First find on this visit to this area. Left TB> TFTC

Found it ok, no sign of any boat ramps yet.
 
29-Jun-16
An easy find, the log is full so the cache needs maintenance. The boat ramp is under construction and it will be a big scar in this nice village. I believe this place id about to lose its friendly appeal.
 
05-Jun-16
After a bit of misdirection from the tree cover we spotted the obvious spot while being stalked by a kookaburra.
Thanks for the cache

We happily went out caching with great friends from Adelaide - Shonkylogic and Shonkysmurf. It gave us an opportunity to show them around Maryborough and the surrounding locality. Today we were on our way to lunch at Goodies and this was one we were able to do. We found this one without any problem. Thanks to jadhoo for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location. CoolCool

No sign of a boat ramp, but the cache revealed itself quickly enough. What a great community, a old school beach township. I hope they can keep it that way. Thanks jadhoo.

Found it right where it was hiding, right I finished our locally cooked fish and chip. Walked along the beach,everybody was out enjoying the fully sun shine day, New Years Eve.
What a wonderful day,hot, with high humidity, yet no seemed to notice it.
Except me!
Two days from now I'll almost be back home in the depths of cold...Canada.
Loved it here, but not this heat, and humidity.

Thanks for this cache jadhoo

Wish I had read ian-and-penny's log. Searched an area of about 6m radius from where Little RedRiding Hood (alias GPSr) said we should be and had absolutely no luck. Some visiting bird watchers who weren't cachers, nor were they muggles, even joined in and helped look for this hidden little treasure. Maybe the coords need adjusting. Too bad too sad. Will try again next time we come north for the winter.

We got to the end of the walking path and it still said we had 400mtrs to go?

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there jadhoo. We found your cache "Burrum - Boat Ramp" at 10:24:00 AM today.
This was our 2nd cache find in a caching run of 3 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9575.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was to add to our current streak of "Most Consecutive Days" cached.
So many trees to search in an ever widening circle.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Fair. (We found the cache around 9m N from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

A relative easy find, log book has about 15 blank logs to go to full.

Great fun find, we took the kids with us yabby pumping and made a detour on the way. Sneaky little hide low to the ground. We ran into a few fellow geo hunters (mickjor) for the first time and had a chat. Lovely people which made the fun all the more enjoyable. Found with RayRay22 and Ralala TFTC.

Found it on 29/6 came across other geocacher who had been looking for it for awhile. Great to talk to fellow cachers.
