Dropped by to check out the trail. Have collected all bar MWPT#15 and #16, so am disabling to perform maintenance with the hopes to reinstate them over the next month or so.
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.Too much muggle activity from the nearby residence. Will return another time to grab the find.
Tijdens verblijf in Thagoona autotochtje gemaakt rond Mt Walker. Tijdens dit toertje deze cache gezocht en gevonden. TFTC.
After searching for far longer then I’d like to admit it was actually right where I originally thought

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 after making a short search, I found the cache reasonably quickly. 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.

Couldn't spot the cache at first, a second look had it in hand

We weren't quite sure where the actual graves were...in front of the plaque or in the fields...we really hoped they were in the fields as we were standing in front of the fence when signing the log. 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 :>

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.
Cache was found surrounded by spiderwebs - SaintsMadHouse wasn’t too impressed with having to make the grab here. An odd little spot, we expected more grave zone for a sign to direct you to this.
Signed as GCA today to save time and space in the logbook.
Thanks for the cache Strangler Fig.

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.
Container cracked but log is alright
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**

Mrs Herbz spotted a sneaky eight legged critter lurking near the container. Mrs Herbz doesn't like spiders very much but she bravely approached from a different angle to grab the container, her fears overcome by the thrill of the find. All good here. 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
Found out on the ground
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. Not where we expected it to be but found it on the ground. Thanks for the cache
Found this one randomly lying on the ground rather exposed. Thinking it belonged somewhere else so placed it back somewhere a little higher and drier and closer to "Pioneer Graves"
Found on the ground. _ Xplorers3 placed it back in a place it may have fallen from. After reading other logs it appears that this little container spends a lot of time laying on the ground.
Very interesting little memorial. TFTC

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

Easy to find. Micro treasures inside.
Found with SirLollipop11 and Unvoicedhard945.

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!
Cache was on the ground, log signed, I replaced cache to where I thought it matched the hint.
Thanks Strangler Fig for placing the cache here.

Replaced container and log. Hopefully survives OK in it's current position, as I was out of similar containers.

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.
I was so excited to see what this was for. Nice interesting little stop.

Out for a Sunday drive and oops we missed #14, so starting at 13. Lovely and green now after all the recent rains.
A quick park & grab.

I think I finally attracted the attention of a local here... a car pulled up in a nearby driveway and didn’t seem to want to move at all... I’m not sure how much interest I can show in this plaque...
Apparently ten minutes and you must be a history enthusiast and the locals leave you alone... tftc...

So today I finally was able to catch up with some maintenance on these caches. It's been a long time coming, however I'm glad to finally be able to check this off the backlog of my mental to-do list.
I approached these in reverse order from 14 to 1. In an effort to properly maintain these listings, I have removed all the remaining caches and documented their surroundings to best plan replacement containers and update the listings with better descriptions and access tips.
As per the recent logs, I couldn't find this one where I originally placed it.

Nice find unfortunately the weather has got to the booklet to sign because there is no lid
