Grid #2 Glan Devon, Queensland, Australia
By Purple_Ninja_00 on 08-Nov-14. Waypoint GC5G6TA

That was tricky. Thanks for previous hints.

While staying in Nanango for a few days with my geodog Scruffy , We decided to look for a few caches in the outlying areas ...Co-ords way out, GZ near grid

Great drive

Thank

Bison is at s26 35.085 e 152 00.031

Heading home from the Fraser Coast and thanks to a certain challenge we took a small detour down the dirt road for these 2 caches.I was confused with GZ at first but then read some logs that said the coords were off, after reading another log the cache was quickly found.Tftc Purple_Ninja_00Find #4734

Found TFTC. Pays to read earlier activity. Looking for a bison.

Easy like Gate 1.

TFTC. Easy find after reading Seasonedbird’s log (22/9/22) - thankyou. Posted co-ords are way out. Maybe correct until replaced with bison tube ???

Found it after a short search, coordinates appear to be a bit out. All in order with the new bison tube. TFTC

Found it. TFTC

Our last day of caching, home tomorrow, planning our next breakout. An overcast day with interminent sunny patches. Most of the caches were damp, and we were going to replace, however there is another rain storm due to pass through in the bnext couple of days. Some of the containers are missing the rubber seal, letting water/condensation into the container. Drained containers and aired logs for about 10 min.

TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

As per previous log, the best co-ords are S 026° 35.084' E 152° 00.032'
In the interest of keeping this cache alive and reading previous logs/DNF’s and a good search by ourselves using hints and tips from previous logs, I have replaced the container including a new log inline with the D/T rating until the CO has the opportunity to check out same. The new container is a bison in an obvious spot. Found whilst on a very non direct route to QOGM - Charleville 2022. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

Find #11114

Actual gz S 026° 35.084' E 152° 00.032'

Found gz is apparently the post between the grid and double farm gates.

A new bison to replace old mint tin.

Glad we approached from the east side as the road is closed at the floodway, impassable from the west.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Tftc Purple Ninja00

Nanango Blitz Weekend with Stealth Seeker. Final Day.
Another quick grab. Almost didn't even stop the car.

With Aussiemates on the last day of our caching adventure. Couldn't resist when we were driving right by. Lovely quiet back road. TFTC

A lovely caching run this morning around the country roads in this beautiful area. Although this road didn’t show on our map it was clear in satellite view. The cache was found using the coords in the previous log. All good with the cache log signed and replaced as found. Thanks Purple_Ninja_00 for placing these caches for us to find.

Found it

Co ords where we located the cache
S 26 35.084 E 152 00.032

We spent ages looking for this one around where our GPS indicated GZ was. IT was really annoying as we actually found it 25 mtrs away from where it should be. Someone should please take the time to update the co-ords as this is really too far away and many other people have commented that co-ords are wrong. Wish I had seen that earlier than today. No. 36 on day 2.

AMT

Tftc ,we are here in Nanango for a few days, will head down this road a bit and see what we find , all good here

Easy

Good find

Second time luck for me searching for this one. Both Eskies5 and Caro had one this one on previous occasions. On the previous attempt, I struggled on a hot day, with a temperamental teenager in the car. Today the find came far to easy, name was in the log before I blinked my eyes. TFTC and bringing me back here Purple_Ninja_00

This was a little tricky but was obvious when found

Found. Not before this big boy lizard and I gave each other a fright. Put the log into a ziplock because we all know how mint tins go. TFTC

TYFC

Rock is gone but cache is safe, if you can find Grid 1 then you can find this one. TFTC

Found it nice and dry TFTC

Found quickly even though my GPS had it 22Ms away and the hint did not match where I found it.Some caching ust be going on.when nobody is watching. TFTC.

Found 20 metres from where our GPS wanted us to look. FYI ignore the hint.
TFTC

Found 4/5/20

Found

Travelling further down the road from Grid #1 and pulling much further off the road this time, I started hunting for the container, waiting for the numbers to settle as I searched all the likely spots and some less likely ones too. A heard a movement from a bush beside me and froze, only to see a hare burst out and bound across the road.....the teenagers didn't see it though, they were focused on their devices....much more interesting than real life I stopped and read a few logs which suggested this cache was in the pile of gravel and rubbish nearby. I had an eclipse tin in the glovebox so I have placed a temporary replacement in the likely spot similar to the hide at Grid 1, with a rock on top as well. If this is not acceptable then I will be happy to delete my log and wait til next trip for a smiley. Tfth and the nature experience Purple_Ninja_00

Pretty sure this one has been graded up

There was a lot of grading at the go, we widened our search, no luck though

No luck here and recent grading at GZ.

Found it. Thanks.

Was a little tricky but had to go past the original obvious spot. Tftc

Out caching for the weekend with the Tough Mother’s (Jemillalucy, Bennyboppers, and Lisylou). Found 12m from GZ. TFTC!

Out for the weekend with lisylou and jemilucy and mnance101 tftc

Weekend away with Benny boppers, Lisylou and Mnance101. Lovely day for a drive. Tftc

Found with the help of Soldierboys - co ords .

Out for the day with Kale of ranibaskale so we can find some hidden creatures and have a bit of an adventure. This was one of the caches we found today! Thanks for the cache, Purple_Ninja_00!

I hitched a ride with caro from Jess & Caro today and we went north to find a bunch of caches. They were great and I had fun. Thanks!

Found after a few minutes, not where the arrow pointed, but where the cache name suggests. Tnsl tftc PN00 xo

No luck today

No luck

GPS plays up but we eventually found it.

I did a do

GPS was all over the place and no help what so ever. Read a previous log which was a great help and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

Took me few mins find that as gps bouncing all over! Got signed and returned same place TFTC

Ah the thrill of heading down a country lane,
not knowing where it leads
It did lead to a geocache,
so that's all the excuse I needed to head on in

TFTC at the grid.

No luck here today

Easy find for the morning cache run

We will be leaving very soon to attend the Red Centre Experience Event being held in Alice Springs and have decided we would try to make that event a milestone ... the only problem is we are a few hundred caches short This was the perfect excuse for a quick road trip through Nanango/Murgon/Kingaroy The weather was a little rainy, but surprisingly we remained relatively dry during the day with the worst of the rain occurring while we camped overnight [^]

We managed to locate this cache easily and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our journey.

Thank you Purple_Ninja_00 for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Travelling around Australia and now super excited to be finally starting our trek to the Easter Geocaching Event at Alice Springs.

Leaving Nanango today but what's the rush. Packed up but then headed out to find just a few more caches before leaving after lunch.

TFTC! Look around, phone gps was all over the place.

#7789 Cache Found

After being idle and tied up with household chores over the last few weeks, It didn't take to much prodding to decide a mini road trip was in order.
After consulting the trusty map decided that a little adventure North through Yarraman, Narango and Kingaroy. And because youngoldfella places his caches along some great country roads the marjority of attempts would be on his caches, With a few others thrown in for good measure Nice cache thanks for bringing me here and for the adventure.

Thanks for the great cache and adventure Purple_Ninja_00

This Day in Music
1959, Four members of The Platters were arrested after a gig in Cincinnati after being found with four 19 year old women, (3 of them white), in various stages of undress. The scandal resulted in radio stations across the US removing Platters records from their playlists.

Another super quick find its all in the name, and all is good TFTC

My GPS must have been out a little with the cloud cover, but found eventually and returned the cover as I found it.

Thanks for the cache.

Logged in the company of Stacevel and *SuzySquirrel*. Here for Nanango's 1st Event. Big thanks to youngoldfella for a great weekend. ~ TFTC

We stayed in Nanango last night after attending the awesome Nanango event. As we head home *SuzySquirrel*, spinna76 and I (and now Liz and Bruce) are collecting some smilies along the way.
Thanks for adding to a fantastic weekend.

TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

A great day of caching with beautiful weather and glorious scenery. We managed to meet up with the splendid Sss - Stacevel, *SuzySquirrel* and Spinna76 and our joint caching activity added to our pleasure of the day. We got a bit sidetracked at a winery near the dam when an very necessary stop was made "to spend a penny" and resulted in wine tasting and leaving with a box under our arm. Nice to be able to make these sorts of stops as well as geocaching. We found this cache after a short search - nice one. Thanks to Purple_Ninja_00 for its placement and adding to our enjoyment of this location.

Out cheacking caches before the event. Cache was a bit rusty but ok and log replaced.

Out and about by myself while Mum visits a friend in town for a couple of hours.
So I headed north of town as there is a good chance I will be back for the December event.
Got to leave somewhere to cache.
A quick find here.
Thanks for the cache.

We don't mind gravel roads and cattle grids, potholes and corrugated roads. We had them all on this road. Found at 3.00pm on 30th August 2015. TFTC.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Purple_Ninja_00. We found your cache "Grid #2" at 1:14:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 11293.
[Blue]
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area today. We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our caravan park and then took a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 11m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

We assumed that this one would be similar to the last one so we put our phone away and started looking near the grid. Found this one on out way back to the car. TFTC

Another quick find thanks.

A bit quicker finding this one! TFTC

Arrived back at the grid and soon I was heading for GZ.
Geopartner came with me.
We hunted high and low with geopartner making the find.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Purple Ninja 00 All good with this cache

Geo-hubby headed out to Nanango / Kingaroy area for a two day caching run,
with our good friend Konie.
A great time was had, finding a good variety of hides and caches.
Many thanks to all the CO's for the effort you have put into your caches,
for us and others to find.

Out and about with The Drovers for a few days caching in the Nanago and Kingaroy areas. We managed to find a variety of caches with lots of different containers and this was one of them.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Thanks to all the CO's for the effort put into your caches and maintaining them..

Having attended the Nanango Markets today, it was time to turn a few green boxes into
The target today was Lock Lane, some of the Wide Bay Hwy, Mondure Crossing Rd, the ones out at Elgin Vale, and continue on to the Wide Bay Hwy, then home.
All told 21 's, not too bad for a Saturday afternoon.
All with the cache.

Spending a few days up in the Kingaroy and Nanango districts and places closeby from my place in Brisbane. Due to the number of caches found, I have decided to do a generic log. To all the CO's, a big thank you for bringing us to your area and the many varied caches we found. Thank you for bringing us along the country road. TFTC

Having another annual caching trip to Nanango and Kingaroy with Richmond Lad. Last year we thought we had found most of them but some wonderful COs keep putting out more to entice us back to this lovely region of Queensland. We have driven along quiet , gum tree lined country roads, spotted some peaceful waterways and are becoming experts at stumps!!! Thank you to all the COs who have caches in this area - you are all doing a wonderful job creating, placing and maintaining your hides.

Another good little find.

Being in the area we decided to clean a few more caches.

Knowing the location of this one as we had previously driven down this road several times should have been a sinch.

Nope wrong.

GPS had me over near the fence looking for rocks.
Ofcourse we found all the cobbles pegs which were know throughout my socks, pants & shirts.

Then geowife said here it is.

Der captain obvious, should have read the logs better.

TFTC

Like the previous finder we assumed it would be somewhere else but found it in a very logical spot . Thanks Purple Ninja.

Finally!!! Found it. The gpsr'so all over the place here and the best we could get was: S26 35.090 E152 00.020 about 8mtrs of original coordinates. Yikes, I was plastered in farmers friends and didn't have to be lol. TFTC

Must learn to turn GPS on before looking. As soon as I followed the arrow I saw my error and had the cache in hand straight away. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC, Purple_Ninja_00.

Accidentally parked RIGHT at GZ but not having my GPS turned on, I walked back up to the grid while it loaded to check out similar spots to last time. While The Marble and I were doing this, DisSister bent down, picked up the cache and made faces at us. Cheeky! TFTC, Purple_Ninja_00. =^.^=

I was expecting it to be elsewhere but it was in a very logical spot. Thanks Purple_Ninja_00.

Todays trip was around the rural country side. All the caches we found had great co-ords & hints. The regular & large containers were packed full of swaps. We loved our Sunday drive.
