6466 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1400. Thought we may have to bypass this cache as a muggle was collecting wood from be side the track. Packed up and left very soon after we arrived. SL Tnx AussieScouter.

It took a couple of minutes of hunting before this cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks AussieScouter for the cache.

Out and about on this crisp Easter Saturday morning and making a few finds. Scout dens always pop up in the middle of nowhere and this one was no different. Back home a common hint is base of tree we are seeing a common theme here, base of boulder.

After climbing over as few boulders we made the grab and then watched a couple of kangaroos bounce by, we wanted to yell out to them to watch the P-plater.

I have heard some good things about the Stanthorpe Scout Group as I work in a supporter role in the Movement myself. Thanks for the cache and for doing your part in the Movement yourself, AussieScouter.

All Good .. TFTC ..

We were unable to get to the MEGA Event earlier in the year so decided to come caching in Stanthorpe for the long weekend. This was our second day of caching.

We had just been right next to this cache when we had earlier done a U-turn while finding the nearby chirp cache. Once back here we made a very quick find. We dropped off the Caching in Queensland Geocoin #2. TFTC

Haven't cached for ages thought we would go and find we missed after the Mega. Easy find TFTC.

A slower day today preparing for the trails tomorrow, we did some excellent caches today, 30 caches in 3 hours ,all fine finds, many thanx to all cache placers for the efforts put in, top stuff

Found at 2:35:00 PM, staying in Stanthorpe for a couple of days and grabbing a few caches before continuing on our way North to escape Wagga's winter. We had heard about the Apple series from fellow Wagga cachers so we decided to put Stanthorpe on our list of places to stay on our trip. We grabbed this one while doing the apple series

Thanks AussieScouter.

We were in the area today and found ourselves close by to this cache

Our family has been quite involved in Scouts in the past and actually stayed at this den on a scouting trip to Canberra a couple of years back

We found the cache after a short hunt

Up in Stanthorpe to farewell the Walk for Life adventurers we wanted to turn some green boxes on our geocaching map into yellow smilies. This was one of them. Thanks for bringing us out here AussieScouter. Had no idea this scout camp was here. Found the cache and signed the log before replacing it. [^][^]

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there AussieScouter. We found your cache "Scouts" at 11:00:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 10883.
[Blue]
When the Mega Event was on over Easter we spent the majority of our time socialising, and very little time 'caching. So we have returned to attempt some of the caches that we missed out on.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape, but the listed trackable "Scouts Australia Geocoin III" is not in the cache, could AussieScouter (or the Trackable owner) please "Mark the Item as Missing" so it can be removed from the cache inventory. This option is under Actions on the trackable's web page).
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Found this one after a quick search at GZ.

Day 2 of the return trip to Stanthorpe to collect the caches we couldn't find during the Mega weekend, due to lack of rain and too much rain, and to see off Team Robins on their epic adventure around Australia. Today the plan was to collect Stan's apples and a few other caches before heading off to Team Robins for an event to see them off on their adventure.

Thanks AussieScouter for the cache.

Another 3:00am start, Travellling North in company with the junior Geo Dawg (Sherman) to attend the Walking Away Event in Stanthorpe Queensland, To celebrate the departure of the intrepide group of cachers on their walk around Australia raising money for Cancer Research. Nice little cache thanks for the detour

Thanks for the great Cache AussieScouter(8D)

On the trails with Ghostgums, we hooked up with Konie for the nearby Chirp cache and snared this one in the area. A brief search was conducted and it was Ghostgums that came up with the goods... [^]

Cheers AussieScouter.

Out and about in the Stanthorpe area for a few days so I headed out to grab a few caches. There were puzzles from the MEGA and a power trail or two, thanks to all CO's for placing them. I managed to find a variety of caches in some very interesting locations, this was one of them.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

TFTC AussieScouter

Found while attending the Mega. Most of the campers have gone but there are still a few of around.

Found with Tinda on the mega weekend. Thanks for adding to a great weekend!

MEGA was on so decided it might be a good idea to find some caches. "Some" ended up turning into a few hundred... the most exhausting experience.

Started in the city and pooh corner, ended up leaving a little late for Stanthorpe. Fun weekend, managed to get pushed into swimming across water a few times and finishing off some rum.

TFTC!

Found with Gonefishen07 and Lazzal on another fun day caching in Stanthorpe. Thank goodness the weather was much better today. Trying to get Stan's apple finished before we have to go home. We signed the log as GLZ TFTC

Found with Hinemoana, sonia26642 and /dev/gc0c during the mega.

Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

[ 310 / 314 | 17706 ]

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!

A nice quick find in the dark. TFTC

Found with Phetlern on a day when we concentrated our efforts around Stanthorpe town as we also attended the events.

Had a great day out caching with Zobo04 and Lazzal. The weather was much better today so we managed to get out and find a few caches in some very interesting areas. Thanks to all the CO's for the hard work in placing and maintaining these caches for us to enjoy. TFTCAussieScouter

Found duing a wonderful weekend at the Queensland Mega

Day three at the Mega and my mission is grab 11 different cache types in a day. Including lab caches, there are ten on offer around Stanthorpe today, as well as a virtual on top of Mt Cootha in Brisbane that I have been saving for just this occasion.

Having completed this mission at the Flashmob event, my son T.C.C and I spent an hour or two collecting caches and puzzles around town.

With a couple of nearby puzzles calling, we couldn't help but stop at this one on the way past. Thanks AussieScouter.

Setting out with Alansee, to reign in some caches close to Stanthorpe, we were treated to a dry day with some periods of warm sunshine. This is one of the caches we found as we picked some more of Stan’s apples, walked beside the river, collected rubbish, followed the trail of a bushranger and waved for the camera at the Flashmob Event.
WOW Stanthorpe Scouts have been in the game since the beginning!

Our thanks to AussieScouter for bringing us here.

Day five for us at Stanthorpe, attending the Mega event. The previous day was very wet and up until today we really had not got many numbers. Today we finish up the Stan puzzles (has taken us 3 days to find these, been taking it reaaaaaaal slow) and grab the one or two others nearby, such as this one. Finally with a break in the wet weather, we tackle the trails finishing the day with 202 finds and no DNF's
Thanks to all CO for your efforts in putting out these caches.

After spending the last couple of days frantically driving around this gorgeous countryside, today was to be a leisurely day attending the Cito and Flashmob, tidying up the puzzles and collecting a few others along the way. Thanks AussieScouter

A quick find while attending the Qld Stanthorpe 2015 Mega Event. Thank you for having placed the cache Aussie Scouter

A short drive from the previous cache and I was here. I must have down loaded this a while ago as my GPS wanted to take me to a different area. Luckily for me other searchers arrived and pointed me in the right direction. Thanks AussieScouter

Back out with a Logan Mini Flash Mob. Had a great day Geocaching around the area. TFTC

[orange]I was out and about with Hot Wheels Duo this afternoon tracking down some more of Stan's Apple's. This one was close by so we headed over for a find. We met up with a few other cachers while at GZ which was the flavour of the weekend. The cache was soon found and signed.
Thanx AussieScouter[/orange]

Happy Easter Stanthorpe!! Back out on the road again today with Chwiliwr and The Better half, trying to finish off the remaining Apples and lab caches, plus whatever else popped up along the way. Thanks for the cache AussieScouter

Thanks AussieScouter

I am sure that you are sick of emails by now. So, TFTC!

As a long time cub scout leader I could not resist doing a cache named "Scouts". Out early this morning to visit the cache and take my Scout geocoins for a visit andt photograph.
Met other cachers at this one who had old co-ordinates. Thankfully I had the right ones and put him on the right track so we could both sign the log and head off for more caching and play. Unfortuneately no more scout caches today.

Quick find by another caching group as I was looking at the totally wrong spot! TFTC

This was one of the few puzzles that I got right. We went to the scouts hall and had a look, a nice area for them. Possum put the coordinates in and we went on a drive to find the cache. after a few wrong turns we got close and found it. Thanks AussieScouter for hiding this cache and Fangsoki for creating it..

Enjoying some MEGA caching. Thanks for the hide.
