I'm always awed by the size of these boulders when I come to stanthorpe and today was no exception. Arrived at gz to find a nicely sized cache tucked away in its hidey hole. Thanks TeamPaulsen.
 
17-Sep-17
What a delightful, if brisk, way to start the morning! And with three kangaroos to boot. We found the entrance path to the area easily and took our time meandering toward GZ, admiring the rock formations. I particularly liked the balancing rock quite close to GZ. We found the hide easily and in good condition, then decided to explore the area further because we were enjoying it so much. TFTC, TeamPaulsen. =^.^=

What a cool area! We wondered about in the wrong place following Al's bouncy GPS for a while when Em looked at her GPS pointing back the way we came and said "ah, there it is!" Thanks for bringing us to this cool area that we wouldn't have found otherwise Smile

An amazing location thanks for the find

This place blew my mind! Our kids would have loved it! TFTC!!

This was a lovely walk to GZ where a nice quick find was made, top location and thanks TeamPaulsen & TFTC Smile
 
03-May-17
As we walked towards GZ we were somewhat apprehensive about the task ahead of us - there looked to be many possible hiding spots. However the caching gods were smiling because the accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a novel cache container. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks TeamPaulsen for the cache.

1:15:00 PM. A pleasant walk in and found quickly. Quite a large cache. Surprised me. Log signed. Thanks TeamPaulsen for the cache.

Decided to spend the morning finding a few caches where I either 'ran-out-of-time" last time in the area or they were a DNF .. Red Face
But with the help of my Geodog Scruffy ... this one is now found .. Big Grin

All Good .. TFTC .. Smile

Thanks one thing for sure Stanthorpe has rocks

Two Norwegians on holiday in Australia. We found this cache early in the morning before heading for Byron Bay. Great to be so close to huge rocks. TFTC
 
11-Oct-16

2nd for the day. I had no idea this was even here. Loved the cache and the extra space for signing.
 
11-Jun-16
Taking a break from house building, decided to look for a few caches with Donna42. Not exactly a small.
 
01-May-16
The best of all time also made a new friend

The cache is all good. All still in one piece. What a lovely area to bring us to. Very cool!
TFTC!!!!
 
03-Mar-16
This had been well and truly muggled, and we found it scattered around. We put it all back together and replaced it. TFTC
 
15-Dec-15
What a wonderful place!! We had a great look around at all the rocks and played for ages before attempting to find this nicely sized container!

TFTC
 
15-Dec-15
Having attended the Mega and clearing the Lab Cache from this location, I had to bring my caching Partner and the Geo Kids back to explore this area.

This is the sort of geological formations which make Stanthorpe a one of a kind place!

TFTC.
 
09-Dec-15
We actually thought about doing this one last night while we were at the nearby "Tight Squeeze" but didn;t like the night-time vicinity of the houses we would have to pass by at a late hour. This afternoon's time is much more acceptable.

What magnificent boulders! Sure keep a GPSr hopping! Eventually, once can locate GZ by deducing the central point around which one travels with a GPSr in hand.

Grand sized cache - strangely no TBs in it.

Found at 3:00pm on 9th December, 2015. TFTC
 
05-Dec-15
Very original

A year between road trips had kestal and I I need of another. We left toowoomba at 4am and arrived at Ballina just after 5:30pm Woah, 13 and a half hours of caching...

This one had to be approached from the right angle to make the find and it was kestal who made the find today! TFTC
 
26-Sep-15
Another cache I had on the list for April but ran out of time for, I made sure it went onto this weekends road trip list for angloj and I. After parking the car we headed on foot to GZ. Angloj went one way and I went the other. It wasn't until I went right around and approached from a different angle did I spot a suspect pile if things. Signed everything that needed signing and we were on our way again. TFTC Team Paulsen

06-Apr-15
After the Mega finished, we decided to collect a few more caches. So while we waited for the tents to dry out, we took the boys and did the rounds.

We had been up here previously this weekend, but didn't have time to complete the hunt as the iphone didn't cooperate. Returned with the GPS this time and had much better results Big GrinBig Grin

TFTC!!!

Raced around this morning to demolish a few more apples before we had to leave. After coming here yesterday to grab the labcache we promised the kids we would come back as they had the best time scrambling up, over and around all the boulders...and besides there were a couple of caches to get too. A fav place for the kids deserves a fav point from us.
 
06-Apr-15
We walked right past this one the first time and had to come back...somebody put a sign up here and we were so distracted by that we missed it. Thanks to Aussie Liahona for pointing out the error of our ways Razz Tftc Team Paulsen!
 
05-Apr-15
What another great area to explore. The big granite boulders are still amazing us as we come across them all over the place. We enjoyed our visit here today for this cache as well as the Lab cache that was nearby. Thanks for placing it TeamPaulsen [^][^]

[ 172 / 314 | 17568 ]

Found it with Team FIN [kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

Day 3 of our weekend at the Mega in Stanthorpe and we are out and about in the rain, yet again. Only ducks and cachers would be silly enough to be out in this. Anyway, onwards we went and found this cache quite quickly, a good hide. About with misschief18, B/dale Bandits and Bentley TB

On a geocaching trip with tmann421 with the focus being the MEGA at Stanthorpe. A fantastic trip away seeing a part of the country I had not been to before, collecting caches along the way. Stamped the logs with t&J or our names. Thanks to all the CO's for making this such a memorable trip.
 
05-Apr-15
A great days caching and road trip at the Oz Mega 2015 with Taurus1955 and Misschief18. Lots of experiences and adventures we had lots of laughs along our travels some where I walked right to the cache and others where I needed to hunt around a bit. I have enjoyed the various challenges set by the CO's and the fact that I get to cache with friends and am outside in the great outdoors.

Thanks TeamPaulsen for placing this cache .

Well, having hit 2000 for the Mega we're back caching! Smile
Time to finish the Elementaries & the rest of the Apple!
Doesn't hurt to throw a few extras in the mix along the way either.

We should have grabbed this one when we did the Lab caches!
Oh well, one for the 'oversight' committee! Smile
Arrived at GZ to find another cacher 'pondering' the situation.
I was about to go that 'one step further' when Geo-mamma called a halt to proceedings.
Lucky, I wasn't sure how I would go coming back up. LOL ...
Nice 'cool' container.

Running around doing lab caches and decided i really should try and grab all the caches around town i've avoided or just not got around to yet. What a fabulous location. Going to have to come back and explore more at another time. Cache found quickly and in good condition. Signed the outside of the container. TFTC TeamPaulsen! Smile

I had to wait in the car as my shoes have been thrown away. With all the tracking in the rain they really are on the nose. I'm sure the other half of my team will find it but if they don't you can guess why. I did go up there to find the lab caches, it was a very nice location,even when n the rain.
Hope the team are ok , they have been gorn for a while now. Noticed the water tank numbers seem to be around the wrong way and upside down. Maybe that's confused them.
Hmm better send in the sniffer dogs and the search party. It will be dark soon and it's obvious that they can't opperate a GPS, let alone in the dark.
Call off the search party, there back .

Found with Jonsey65 while attending StanThorpe mega event. Didn't even need a GPS it was really obvious

Enjoying some MEGA caching. Thanks for the hide. This was one of my favourite places visited during the weekend. A favourite point for sure.
