HS-3 Karawatha, Queensland, Australia
By dranyer on 03-Dec-14. Waypoint GC5HCA3

Tftc. Nav is not great look on other side.. The trackable is not in the cache anymore

Found the cache!

TFTC. Log was a bit wet, but we were still able to sign it. Geodogs loved this one

Woohoo good find

Quick find with a good seat to write cache tftc

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.

Thanks for the cache and the trail

Interesting tree configurations

My GPS sent me too far for this one but finally we found it!Thank you for the cache

Nearly there & T4TC:-)

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

Walking with sniggypop

All good here. Thanks for the cache and the trail.#859______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.

I was looking in the wrong place for awhile, but I eventually found it haha

Another find along the way as we continued our loop back to the car park. 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.

After the first 2 caches taking a while to find it was nice to find this one in the first spot I looked. Clue was present and all good with the cache here. Thanks 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 RRS17373rd February 05 2024 @11:55:00 PM

3 for 3 in the Holden series so far. Been years since Ive walked around this park. TFTC.

Found with Grub1204. This is the first of the 3 in the series that had the metal plate with the code for the bonus cache.

Coordinates kept jumping about making it hard to even locate GZ.After passing a goanna, I wasnt going to be putting my hands where I couldnt see.

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 .

Found with my sweet short haired Chi chi...No pen. 5 minutes to find. Actually easy in the end.

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!

3 down, 12 to go! Another quick find here and off to the next one we go! Cheers for the cache!

Nice easy find and all is well. Tftc

Found the cache, it was too easy didn’t have a pen but tftc!
Nick and 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

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!

TFTC. The log need attention.

Added some new paper

cool

GPS was playing up so this one took a bit longer to find than it should have. Finally just put the phone in my pocket and searched in the likely spots. TFTC

Cool cache

Another cache in the series complete, found without too much trouble. Logs are getting full, so a maintenance run wouldnt be a bad idea. Thanks for the hide!

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.

Found it

Got it with Team Theresa Green

Glad to find one in the series

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. This cache blended in really well and i was lucky to spot it pretty quick. Thanks for all the fun

Third find in a row for Shazzar66. Code number collected, we moved onto the next one

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

Dune and dusted..off to get another smile

Me and my partners having fun!!

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

Luckily I’ve got DisSister with me today because I she found it where I’d already looked. This is becoming a habit today it seems. TFTC

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

Nice Hiding Spot

Tftc

I used to be quite embarrassed if I was caught in the act of cache-retrieval, but for some reason I was not phased as other walkers sauntered on past. Must be something about the Sunday afternoon fatigue.

TFTC

Thanks!!

Haha the irony! I had taken a moment to catch my breath and looked at the app only to see this one was right there!

Took way longer than it should have and persistence pays off. We’ll camouflaged so look low. Tftc

Easy find & a good spot to sit & have a drink.
