TFTC. Log was a bit wet so we didnt sign it

Dnf please give tips

Quick find one more to go!!

Good 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.

This one was a bit confusing. I found an old cache and CC found a newer one. Have contacted CO. TFTC

Thanks for this caches nice and simple

On this one i found a travel bug! Unbelivable! Thank you very much.Maybe I was distracted but I've seen no clue in this one.

Another quick find & T4TC:-)

Out with Snigglypop. No clue found in this one.

Out to do the HS with ILTW on this beautiful day. Found after a very short search. TFTC

No clue in this one. Not sure if there is meant to be.. Gahhh???#860______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 interior was a little damaged, but we managed to find it easily

Second find on the Holden Trail!

We got this one along the way. We won't be able to complete the series, so not taking note of the codes. 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.

This one was also a bit tricky. My first pass around the area revealed nothing. When I went back to check each place more carefully I found it down in a deep hole. After checking that there weren't any animals down there I was able to reach in and retrieve it. The cache container and log are in good condition but I couldn't find a clue here. I returned the cache to the same spot but not back down in the hole. 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 RRS17372nd February 05 2024 @11:45:00 PM

Nice cache. TFTC

Found with elina_maree. Hoping to find all the Holden series if the heat and rain doesnt beat us. TFTC

Found with Grub1204 on this hot summers day.

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

I have never been to Australia in my life, but my great hobby gives me the opportunity to get to know this incredibly relaxed, pleasant and beautiful country from all sides. So I was able to come here and find a very nice tin along the way. Thank you very much for planting and looking after it!

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 .

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!

Another quick find here. Found this one with the log looking a little water logged. Popped in fresh new sheet before signing and moving on to #3. Cheers for the cache!

Found it and signed as D37. Tftc

Kinda Brocken, the plastic got ripped by someone, needs maintenance but tftc!
Nick & Will

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. Log paper is damaged, popped some new paper in ️

Tftc

A quick find. Thanks!

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!

Nice late afternoon walk with kellygang09 tftc

Found it left something to find
Needs new log paper

Will check after journeys from VIC come home this weekend

Hmmm maybe we need a beginners guide to geocaching

TFTC. Nice hide

We had an excellent day today walking the Karawatha Forest. A 35C day was nothing for us WA peeps. Managed 8.5kms of walking and even saw the police boat and divers in the quarry lake.

The aim was for only three caches, the oldest, a letterbox wander and the highest virtual. We managed to find a few more along the way too!

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights.

DutchAus, I found HS-2 today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Quick one thankfully. It’s a hot day

TFTC

very small

Thanks for the caches. Nice and easy to find but a great walk

Found it!

Another cache found rather quickly, as with the last one my coords were off abit. But with some searching around the cache was found in a usual hiding spot.

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.

Coordinates just a bit off. Found with the help of heybranny

Found it after widening search just a bit. Also I got Javelinned. Thanks Murray.

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. My geo senses were leading me to one spot but my compass to another. I followed the compass and bingo. Thanks for all the fun

Another quick find for Shazzar66 during our geocycling blitz of Karawatha Forest Park. TFTC

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

We are surprised by how many people are out and about here..found what we were looking for . Thanks for the challenge

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

Tftc

This one was tucked in a little more than I was comfortable with so tried using a stick but unfortunately tucked it in further. I ended up diving my hand in anyway to grab it and thankfully no creepy critters. TFTC

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

Third find for today, made super quick as I spotted the container peeking out from it's hidey hole from a few meters away. I placed it back a little more hidden.

TFTC

Awesome hiding spot! Accurate to the coordinates.
