Found it, need maintenance container is broken and book is saturated and falling apart
Cache is water damaged, container cracked.Out with Aussie Outbackers and Skyla
Found but it has been burnt grass fire? Did not have spare paper to replace sorry container ok
Devi e is overheating,will have to reduce number of caches I do. sigh.Impossible to sign log, totally saturated and lid cracked. Maintenance required.TFTC
Has some free time this morning, so ventured out to do a spot of caching.So I targeted the MWPT series in the Mount Walker area.Quick find in a rather peaceful spot. Cache and log in good condition.TFTC. TNLN. SL.Find # 1679.
Tijdens verblijf in Thagoona autotochtje gemaakt rond Mt Walker. Tijdens dit toertje deze cache gezocht en gevonden. TFTC.
It was a hot day to be driving a power trail, but I still had energy and enthusiasm to find this MWPT series. I parked nearby to GZ and jumped out, and it was a long walk to GZ, which I thought was in contrast to the other series' driveby caches. After making a short search, I found the cache reasonably quickly, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Strangler Fig for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
----------
Today, the plan was an early start to hike Mount Mitchell in an attempt to beat the heat. I joined [Beardman75](https://coord.info/PRG2ADN), [GurTheWanderer](https://coord.info/PRWMPWQ), and [karicka](https://coord.info/PRV3G5) targeting a newly published geocache [Mitchell Mountain West Peak](https://coord.info/GCA48ET), and it was adventurous visiting the west peak for the first time.
Following the hike, I slowly made my way home and detoured past a few geocaches that I hadn't had the chance to find, which included Cunningham's Camp, the *Mount Walker Power Trail* (MWPT) series, and those adjacent to Ipswich Motorsport Precinct. Ultimately, the heat got all too much to be stop-starting, so I retreated home to the air-conditioning and swimming pool.

Phew it’s hot today, reminder to others, don’t put your phone down at GZ and walk back to the car.

The most interesting grave I found was a recent death of a lady, whose 2 marble stones negative space made the outline of a cross. So the design was very clever.

It was a Girls’ caching antics day today, and although we didn’t have a KBreeAHH with us, SaintsMadHouse, Cosmonaut97 and I did have Signal the Frog standing in for her, and fully intended on a day of fun and frivolities.
A short wander for this one. The cache was found clean and dry while a nice breeze blew.
Thanks for the cache Strangler Fig.

Found with 1minniemoo and saintsmadhouse today on an outing to turn these greenies into smilies. After discussing this adventure for the last month or so, we had decided that today was going to be the day....and that was about as much planning as had been completed prior to meeting up in a semi central location. From there, we had a more solid plan at least until lunch. It was a great day and I got home roughly 13 hours after I left :> We have plans for our next adventure but no dates - we'll get there :>
Out for a day of hunting with Cosmonaut97 and 1MinnieMoo. For all the geocaches we found if they needed maintenance- we did it, if it needed a new log- we placed one- if it needed a new container- we did that too. So that means this cache, as of today, is good to be found! Thanks for placing it. Some we signed with our names and Some as “GCA” which stands for Geocaching Chics Antics.
Quick find out and about in this lovely part of the world.
Cache in good condition.

Quick little weekend away, exploring the country side, with the ultimate goal to complete some of the Map of Australia Geo-Art on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.
Really good condition and a nice cemetary
All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.
Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **Strangler Fig**

Found it lots of bugs and slugs in it, had a look at all the graves while we were there very sad
We love visiting old cemeteries and uncovering history.
PLEASE NOTE: There's a few wasp nest hanging about, and in very close proximity to GZ.

Was really nice to see the headstones and story’s. Thanks for the cache
There's plenty of space left in this cemetery. As we walked towards GZ a couple of noisy miners flew away from us. Walking up we quickly spotted the cache. On the way back to the car we had a look at some of the graves. The oldest one with spotted was Josiah Brewer who died in 1893.TFTC
On our way home from a good hike.
Great scenery along this road
Have looked at this little trail many times today I got the opportunity to log these
Wondered if any of the ppl in the early graves had living relatives in the area
Thank you for hiding this geocache Strangler Fig

Out today with Selva Girls to pick up some caches.There were some good hides along the way and some quick ones. Sorry for the generic log. TFTC
Mr CuriousQuest and I headed to the country to do some geocaching. This cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC
Karicka and I headed this way after a hike and made quick work of this trail. A short walk to this one. Thanks for the cache
Nice easy find thanks to the hint.
I secretly enjoy rambling through cemeteries - interesting history of the area.
Didn’t bring swag with me today so was disappointed I couldn’t do a swap.
Thanks for this series - enjoying the caches and views along the way.

On the way back to Brisbane from a great weekend in Toowoomba my husband and I diverted to do this power trail and I'm glad we did. It was a great drive around here and the hints made for a quick find . Thanks for all the fun. Such a nice little cemetery. Thankyou for taking us here .

Easy find in a peaceful place.
Found by SirLollipop11 with Unvoicedharp945.

Out and about this morning, stopping for some caches on the way to Mt Berryman. This trail was one of my target areas today, I do love a good trail!
Geopup and I ran from the car to collect the cache, signed the log then ran back to the car. When I got back I realised I didn't have my phone. Finding my phone was heaps harder than finding the cache! Found it after retracing my steps twice, nothing good ever comes from exercise!
Thanks Strangler Fig for placing the cache here.

After finding this cache on the ground out in the open last weekend during a maintenance run, I decided to replace the container and update it's location. Should be just as easy to find at the new coords, and less conspicuous than it's previous roadside hiding spot.

It's been a while since I've been out caching. So, on a spur of the moment this morning I decided I'd let the learner driver take me on a bit of a drive and I'll stop and do a few caches.
Beautiful drive out here!!!
Thank you for the cache series.
Almost skipped this one as there were a few people working at the cemetery. Grabbed this with no problem though.

Nice quick find in a scenic rural area. Even got to say hello to the spiders and frogs living adjacent to GZ.
TFTC!!

It wouldn’t be a complete day of caching in the countryside if it didn’t include at least one Historic Cemetery and this is my second one today...
As others have noted the log is damp, so I’ve dried the cache out and will take it with me as I complete the trail and hopefully return it a little drier as I return past... tftc...
