This road is becoming increasingly dangerous, particularly the gravel portion. For the safety of everyone, including the locals I am closing down all of these caches in this series that are on this road. We also have a hoon issue in the area at the moment which is adding to the issue of safety. Thank you to everyone who has visited these caches.
A footpath.... Streetlights.... Wtf??? Another find with Tom the navigator...tftc...
We were expecting a smaller cache than this and our 'caching eyes' didn't see it at first.
Replaced the torn little zip-lock bag.
Placed the cache back where we found it.

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. Container was wet as the lid was open. Left it closed and in a slightly better place. TFTC
This cache was quite difficult to locate as it had fallen to the bottom and was lying in mud and leaf litter. The lid was open and the contents damp. misschief18 and I replaced the cache where we believe that it should have been.

This was was somewhat damp. We replaced the bag to try and help the situation, but the log book probably needs to be dried out. TFTC
Started betting each other on where the caches will be hidden. Both of us were wrong here. Log book is a little damp, but not so damp we couldn't write in it.
TFTC Speedmistress. This is my single caching name. Proper log under team name, TeamBellingham.
[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Speedmistress. We found your cache "Pave the Way" at 11:13:00 AM today.
This was our 8th cache find in a caching run of 24 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9493.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was to add to our current streak of "Most Consecutive Days" cached. With this cache the total now stands at 225 Days.
Today was a trip down memory lane for Ian, he spent quite some time in (and around) Cabarlah before he left the Army.
Please excuse our boilerplate logs. It's not really a good excuse, but it is often really difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day.
[/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]

Quick stop and grab for this one. Then we realised the people who live at the house here were unloading items from their car
Not sure if they know what is hidden near the end of their drive, but we tried to return the cache to it's hide when they went inside - hopefully they weren't watching!!

Today we did a full day of caching in Toowoomba region. From the town region & out to Cooby Dam.
All the caches we found were in good condition & some wonderfull & scenic locations.
We enjoyed our run doing the Cliche series, we collected the codes as we went.

On our way up to Toowoomba to do Animal Alphabet Challenge when OrionJ mentioned that he wanted to grab a few letterbox hybrids. Not a problem for us even though we did both between Brisbane and the range. To our surprise OrionJ mentioned this new one just North of Toowoomba that we hadn't seen and a small power trail that went with it. Seemed perfect for today's adventures.

Sixth cache in the series. Based on the cliche we all had a good idea of where it should be. Dr THR hopped out to check the area but came up empty and puzzled. The rest joined in the hunt and OrionJ made the find. Log signed and we were off to the next one. TFTC and series Speedmistress

I really do like to find a good Letterbox Cache and I had seen this one a little while ago and really did like the idea of making the find next time I visited Toowoomba.
So today I was heading to Toowoomba with The Hunting Rabbit and had mentioned wanting to get the couple of Mailboxes. So this little trail gained a position on our list for the day.
----
Sixth stop and Dr THR had got out to go and take a look at the spot we had thought may be in as we approached on to return a confused look when he could not spot it. So went to help and we soon had the container in hand, log signed and off we go.
TFTC
I wonder if the Cliche here is a little tongue in cheek

Mr DisSister was happy to hit the dirt road and we were happy to find the cache. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC, Speedmistress.
Out and about today to find quite a few caches today.
This little series by Speedmistress was on my hitlist. Well there is a letterbox at the end.
Around and around I went, looking here and there without success.
Just when I was about to give a car pulls up and it is the CO. Yippee ... where is the bloody thing?

Eventualy I ended up at the CO's house for a chat and a drink ... and a replacement cache to drop off on the way out if you please. Of course.
Thanks for the cache and the chat and the drink.

Found in company of the CO. We then had a guided tour along the entire Cliché series.
Then treated to afternoon tea with the CO.
A great afternoon.
Many thanks

Halfway through the series and really enjoying it. A much quicker find here than I thought it might be...phew! TFTC!
We parked in a safe spot making sure not to block any driveways and then proceeded on foot. No dogs or Muggles today. "Dam Micros" we said, we found he beast, added our name and continued on our way. Cheers..
Kestal stood on a stick and made me jump! Thought it was a snake! Grabbed, signed and ran! Tftc
The next one to do on this road and the series. Parked in a safe spot and walked towards GZ following the Gizmo. Annoying barking dog very close by but no humans. Quick find. Good location. TFTC Speedmistreee.
The 6th of 12 finds for this afternoon with angloj. Looked once and missed it. Looked again and I saw it. Good hide. TFTC Speedmistress
We were staying in Crows Nest for the weekend for a family birthday and after grabbing a cache the night before decided a 5.30am start to grab some caches along a newly released trail was in order while every one else slept in. found nice a quickly but the local dog soon made it known that I had been spotted. Tftc.
I went to retrieve this cache and found a dogs ball instead which I gave to the neighbour who was busy with his kids.
I quickly took the cache back to geomobile to sign and returned to its hide while watching out for the muggles.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Speedmistress All good with this cache

The little fellow was quickly found here and then it was on to the track, bypassing the geomobile to continue the last of the series on foot.
