Tftc! Very easy cache with the dogs.

Needs urgent attention Rusted out and log is wet and filled with liquid rust

Found, thanks!

Found your cache today, but it has holes in the plastic & been soaked by the recent rain.

First find of the day with the Geodogs. TFTC

Thanks

Now which way wondering what the codes are for tftc

Great find

I arrived in Brisbane, from New Zealand, last Tuesday night, for a couple of weeks work. During my time here I hope to find several geocaches, but for many reasons none was more important to me to find than GC8E - Queens land. I always enjoy the old ones. So, after a morning of effort to 'fuel' up the car I had, I headed out here. After finding the old one, I carried on and did a loop walk picking up caches along the way. All were found without too much trouble. An excellent way to spend a few hours.---Thanks to DutchAus for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Out for an afternoon walk with caninecybby and my youngest grandson in stroller to find the Holden series. TFTC DutchAus

Heaps of choices , great little hide.

The first of this day, gound the 14 jully.A pleasant Hyke, Thank you very much It miss a cap on this cache.

Took a while 2 find this 1, as I made assumptions based on previous finds in the series, but it was staring at me...T4TC:-)

TFTC. We are out today with ILTW doing the HS series. Cache found after a short search. New sheet added. The top is missing off the canister.

Out with sniggypop. Found and clue noted. It needs a new log. I added a page.

1st on my list today.Quick pull up and grab. Lid missing on the cache.#841________________________Having woke up on my first day off and the sun was trying to break through.. I though I would head out to Karawatha Forest for some caches today.Total ride: 3:05:21. Completed 23 caches.Totaling 16.87km ride distance.Great day out before the sun decided to head back undercover.

The oldest box in Queensland was our main goal for today, but of course we took a longer stroll through this beautiful park and made it a 5 icon day. Not much of a box here, almost a DNF, but there it was.Thank you and greetings from Germany!

This was our first cash definitely feel an addiction coming on

Great find! First one for the day!

Last stop along this section of the trails before heading back to the car. TFTC!

Found, with fivegk, while on a caching holiday from Canada. TFTC, and Happy Caching!

Today we left the highway to visit the old cache Queens land. This month is still missing from the statistics. After visiting this cache, we found a few more cans in the area. Thanks for the caches.

The first cache was one of the hardest to find, it was very well camouflaged and hidden away but after much searching and log reading, I eventually found it. The container is missing its lid but the log is ok and the clue is still there. Thanks for the cache DutchAus!------------------------------------------------------------------Today I set out to tackle the Holden Series of caches in Karawatha Forest. I started from the Illaweena Street Picnic Area and followed the Casuarina Track and then the Maculata Trail. I took a small detour up to Poet's Rock and then returned to follow the trail through to HS-10. I then returned along the same tracks. All up the walk was about 7km and took me about 3hrs. Some of the caches were quite difficult to find so it took me longer than I thought it would and I decided to turn around after number 10. I'll have to come back and finish the rest another day.

Caching in Australia From the USA. Second day.Flew from Sydney to Brisbane.The Quest of this trip is to find caches that were hid in the year 2000.Found on the way to Queensland.Thanks DutchAus for the fun. May have signed log RRS17371st February 05 2024 @11:37:00 PM

Sadly we could not find

Caching today with elina_maree today and this was our first find. GPS had us going in different directions but eventually found when I checked a hidey hole for the second time. TFTC Dutch Aus

That took a while longer than it should have! Caching with Grub1204. We were being pointed in two different directions!

Zum zweiten Mal in Australien, und mein tolles Hobby gibt mir die Mglichkeit, dieses unglaublich relaxte, angenehme und schne Land von allen Seiten kennenzulernen. So konnte ich auch hier vorbeikommen und ganz nebenbei noch eine sehr schne Dose finden. Vielen Dank frs Legen und Pflegen!

Came to the area to grab the old Queens Land cache. Went for a run up the track to grab a few more and quickly grabbed this one on the way. Tftc.

Found on a casual stroll through the bush on a wet morning. Quick find once I arrived at the GZ. Recorded code from cache. Cache needs maintenance. Cache missing its lid and zip lock bag rather holy. TFTC. SL. TB Prado Owl visited.Find # 1749.

Cache tin is missing lid and bag needs replacement.TFTC

Thank you for let me know Mystery Sleuth

Tftc!

Bonjour from France 778780 were here. Tftc

Today we went for a walk and cache in the Karawatha Forest, lots of well-made tracks and many people either walking or riding along them this afternoon. Collected most of the codes along the way in caches that had them, now to work out the bonus cache. TFTC

Auch heute haben mich Mama und Papa wieder mitgeschleift, um ein bisschen frische Luft zu schnappen und das Tagesdschen zu finden. Inzwischen trauen die mir ja ganz schn weite Wege zu, ich muss schon sagen... Macht mir aber ja genauso viel Spa wie denen, gebe ich ja gerne zu. Und man entdeckt immer wieder etwas Neues, selbst wenn man wie wir oft auf den gleichen Strecken unterwegs ist. In diesen Tagen ist aber alles neu. Australien ber Singapur und Malaysia, da war ich noch nie. Hier mussten wir gar nicht lange suchen, bis wir das Versteck gefunden hatten.Danke frs Austfteln, Verstecken, Herlocken und Pflegen des Caches!

Im Team gesucht und gefunden.Danke fr den schnen Spaziergang und natrlich Danke frs Austfteln, frs Herlocken und Zeigen sagt Mel_on_Tour**TFTC**()()( , , )( , , ).... ..- ** **`*.. .

Heute hatten wir uns viel vorgenommen. Schlielich hatten wir den ganzen Tag Zeit. Und die haben wir auch genutzt und kennen nun (fast) jeden Pfad im Karawatha Forest Park. Koalas haben wir zwar dieses Mal keine gesehen, dafr Wallabies und jede Menge sehr sehr groe Echsen und natrlich noch mehr Vgel. Ich Miss mal ausrechnen, wie viele Kilometer das heute waren, aber es hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Schn ist es hier, teilweise richtiger Urwald (besonders in der Gegend von GC8E) und ein Miniatur-Sandstein-Gebirge gibt es auch.Ganz in der Frh ging es los, da hatten wir noch unsere Jacken an . Diese Serie wollten wir natrlich auch mitnehmen. Leider fehlte in drei Dosen der ntige clue und eine Dose war berhaupt nicht vor Ort. Wir konnten den Bonus also nur erraten und wurden dort leider nicht fndig. Hier aber schon.Unfortunately, three containers of this series didnt contain the necessary clue and one was completely missing (which we replaced). Nevertheless we tried to find the Bonus by educated guessing but unfortunately didnt succeed.Danke fr's Austfteln, Herlocken, Verstecken und Pflegen !Thank you very much for luring us here as well as for hiding and maintaining the cache !....../ ).....' /---' (_____.TFTC .

GPS not settling well but a process of elimination and some suspicious camo had me finding the cache fairly quickly. Container and bag quite scruffy but log OK. TFTC!

Greetings from Ireland!I was actually born in Darwin but moved to Ireland at the age of 3 - now at the age of 40 I am making my first return visit which lasts for 5 weeks.The final part of my trip involved a road trip from Sydney to Brisbane (driving over 5 days with a different place to stay each night).This was one of the many caches I found on that 5 day part of the trip. Tftc!

And so beings our little day adventure with my two little geo dudes. First one found quite quickly with no apparent issues with the cache. Cheers for the cache!

Easy find to start off the last trail of the day. Tftc

Found it, easy find took us 2 minutes, feels like it needs some maintenance but tftc!

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Loving our time around Brisbane and around the area. Today we started out with an event, then picked up a variety of finds while meandering back to home base.

Stopped off here to grab the nearby oldest but grabbed this one, on the way out. A quick find at GZ. Grabbed the hint for final. A little disappointed that we have to find rusted mint tins out here in the bush.

Thanks DutchAus for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Found it ️

Apologies for the late log here (12.01.24) but I've had a busy time since getting back to the UK.Found on a nice woodland walk (mostly) while heading towards the local Virtual. Nice. Thanks for adding a painless one to my day TNLN-TFTC!SP (UK) on an epic trek right around the world.

A friend was having a surprise milestone birthday party and a trip to Brisbane was required to attend.

After accidentally (on purpose), booking my flights a few days earlier, it was time to do some pre party caching around town.

After a late night last night, today was a little more laid back exploring some targeted caches around Brisbane and beyond.

A lovely piece of bushland and a nice spot to grab a cache while touring around.

Thanks DutchAus for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Out for a bush walk and some weekend cacheing. Tftc

First location that I checked. Spider web around the cache box.

Out with the Kellygang09 and with all our kids yay

Took the KG kids and Klossymel out to do some caching now the 12yo has a caching bag of tricks. Took a while but she deciphered the clues and came up with the goods!

GPS out but found.

Found it left something to find

Will check after journeys from VIC come home this weekend

1st time geochaching. DNF but May be because we are so green. Will try again another time!

Out and about to get some smilies on the geocache map, today. This one was a quick and easy find. TFTC DutchAus

Couldn’t find anywhere.

Was worried we wouldn’t find it but we did! No lid and needs a new logbook.

nowhere to be seen

No lid on the container but everything is all nice and dry. Really enjoying walking through here, so thanks for putting this series out here

Tftc!

Thanks for a cache, container doesn't have lid and logbook is one sheet.

Nice hike!

Cache found after some searching around, took some time as my phone signal must be playing up today. All looks to be in usable condition.

Out today to continue with my challenges, I was in this area yesterday walking around and today I have comeback with my bike. I parked in the same area as yesterday and started off on my ride. It was a nice day and while there is a little wind around it did make for a pleasurable ride. I am happy to say dnf’s here today. Collected all the remainders in the series, and an extra one along the way, so that would be a total of 12.

So tricky hides and some easy hides, all good with all caches and in some cases I found two caches at the hide. I signed logs and returned all as found, thank you for the fun today.

Been a lot of rain so no luck this time

Found!

Today i decided to take my geo bike out this way and tackle this series. My mountain bike was out of order so i just took my vintage bike and was not sure if it was up for this terrain but it managed just perfectly. I love these types of series and this one took me to a lovely serene place to ride my bike . I ended up with only 1 DNF. Did not take long to spot this cache. Really getting the hang of this series. THanks for the fun

First or this Series. Not where my gps was pointing. Found by Shaz while I was wandering in the bushes. TFTC

#4, easy find with Duppers. TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Nice and cool in the mornings here still ,parked at Illaweena entry and headed off into the bush. We started this trail a few weeks back, and now have the time to finish it off. We soon arrived at the cache . Signed

Found it!

Good find!

Cute and easy

In the area hitting the trails with icklelego. Thanks for the cache.
Cheers

A fun ramble with Wayn0, catching up and learning the ways of the Australian Bush. Got my first sighting of a wallaby too! TFTC

Found. TFTC!

Tftc

A nice quick find here at the end of the Trail now to head up hill. TFTC

The perfect day for a walk in Karawatha finding this series. Thanks DutchAus

lol

ff

Having been pretty sure I found this cache already, I was interested to see if my memory was correct once we arrived at GZ. Lo and behold, the cache was in the first spot I checked. Definitely been here before.

There was no clue in the container as I had remembered, though luckily we had made note of it previously. I must not have logged this last time for lack of a pen, but I of course had one this time.

TFTC

Very clever!!

I wanted to finish this series which I started last year. This was the final one and also took the longest to find. I missed it first look then went back for closer looks in many holes and eventually found it. Very wet so placed a new paper sheet in a dry plastic bag. Tftc

Looked through the entire area plus about a 7m radius around it. Couldn’t find nothing inside of any holes or in plain sight.

Found, log needs maintenance

TFTC

just a log book

Easy to find
