While staying in Gympie for a few days with my Geodog Scruffy, we had to get out and find some caches in the area.

**Found 14/08/2020 at 4:31:13 PM Smiley #847 Big Grin**

Heading to Hervey Bay for a few nights for my eldest daughters birthday. Day 1 found 2 caches, day 2 found 1 cache, day 3 found 29, day 4 found 56.

Few DNF's, and recovering from an MCL tear in my knee, there were a few I didn't even attempt, and some I shouldn't have attempted but did...and now sitting on the couch having a celebratory scotch, am certainly paying for it.

Nice little country town, with some nice caches! THis was well hidden but still a quick find and the cache is in good condition

Thanks for the cache **Brother Colin maintained by Sweet-Sour** Big Grin

After a long weekend of caching as a group it was now time to depart and start grabbing a few of my own to fill in some blank areas of interest. Most of these were park and grabs or very short walk types. This was one of those, I have gotten a little fascination towards letterbox caches of late and I saw this one off in the distance. It was a little out of my way but hey it’s a letterbox. So a drive over to grab this one. It needed some love as the ants were building on it. A quick grab and log sign and with all completed it was a matter of replacing the cache as found, less ants and onto the next one. Thank you for placing it here.

Today I'm rolling by with Fangsoki and 1MinnieMoo as we head a lot north and even farther west.
I was happy to just bother with the two priority geocaches hundreds of kilometres from home, but alas, there are plenty of geocaches along the way that make happy for stats and challenge qualification all around, so a few stops were had - fine by me.

Uttered in the car was word that letterbox hybrids should be targeted for a certain challenge. Rest assured, I did not complain here as I also am yet to qualify for said [Postmaster Challenge](https://coord.info/GC7N86T), despite my thinking I did qualify *and* finding it a few months back. This letterbox made it onto Minnie's pocket query (which mattered because she was navigating) so became our second find for the trip.

We detoured north of our selected route and despite certainly not needing a 4WD, the Pajero rolled along the dirt road, Fangsoki chucked a U-ey and we were parked alongside. It struck me how quiet it is out here - until a warbird flew overhead. The logbook was signed and everything replaced in good condition. Plus I took a few photos, because I can! Thanks for this letterbox hybrid, Brother Colin and sweet-sour Smile

Fangsoki, Captain Terror and I were on our way north to camp for the night with a particular goal or two in mind at the final destination area, but with one or two other goals for me along the way.
One of those was a couple of letterbox caches to finish qualifying for Orange Crew’s Postmaster Challenge. And this cache would be the one to qualify me for that.
A slight detour from our journey was required, but we soon arrived at GZ, where a quick find was made. With log signed, and a couple of attributes also added to my count, we were soon back on track towards our destination.
Thanks for the cache Brother Colin maintained by Sweet-Sour.

Up in Killivan for the New Year event. My second one. Had lots of fun last year. And how much have I learned since then.

This year I will be caching with my Geoson, Grannysmith1947 and can’t forget The Geodog Miss Millie. Sign as Team BSW

Sorry for the generic post.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC Brother Colin *388* streak. *2318* Finds

Spotted this one from the car - paint is wearing off the cache and thus the white underneath is showing through. TFTC

On a road from Central Qld to Brisbane and had a list of a few caches to visit. This was one of them. Last find for the day. Thanks for the cache, in good condition.

Heading home from a week of R&R in Bundaberg and I took the detour to get to this cache. We were amazed by the number of hobby farms in the area.

There was no traffic on the road near the cache and the cache was quickly located.

Regardless of what some hardcore cachers think about drive-bys, I love them. Especially when those drive-bys are hundreds of kilometres from where you planned to be driving. So hundreds of kilometres might be an exaggeration but that has never stopped me from embellishing on how many beers I can drink, how much musical theatre I can tolerate, how much I love romantic movies that don't have a Jedi in them, or the amount of room left in my slacks after a romantic dinner.

We could see the cache as I did a U-turn on the dirt road and so again I (kindly) pushed my wife out to stamp the log. When I looked back I could see that the wind had played havoc with Mrs Woodyrothwell's do! Normally she is prepared with shoes, hair, food, sarcastic comments and everything else needed when she caches. Today she was caught a few brain cells short, and after subtracting me from the equation, I'm, not sure what her excuse was. tftc

This morning I managed to start caching during school bus time, which meant that lots of parents were up and about dropping kids to street corners and other arranged pick up locations. I was lucky that I only had to wait out one muggle here today, and that I made a quick find. Thank you for placing this larger cache for me to enjoy Brother Colin
 
22-Jul-18
Muggle Father and I were in the area grabbing a couple of caches while I had been visiting the parents in Gympie.

We stopped the car and we got out. My smartphone wanted me to stop on the road - but caching sense says where the cache should be. Dad noticed a rag on the ground and didn't know if that meant anything. Well **it** didn't - but a metre away from that is where I spotted the cache.

Dad was surprised when I brought the cache out from its hiding spot. I was surprised when a spider came rushing out at me - much to Father's delight.

With all present arachnids begoned, I set about signing the log and returning the cache to its home. That's a pretty good hiding spot indeed.

We had to travel 2km down the road to do a U-turn (bless the Corolla's low clearance).

A great little place to visit. TFTC Brother Colin Smile
 
08-Jul-18
I live near here and never knew there was a cache so close
 
26-Feb-18
After my Curra appointment, I wanted to make the 3hr driving round trip worthwhile and focussed on finding a few caches in the area. Cool
Rare to find a letterbox cache, so great to visit one. Quiet road , just enough room to pull off not far from gz. Covered with an old dirty rag, soon found the cache. The container was very dirty on the outside from the rain and termite debris surrounding its hide. Took back to the car to investigate the contents and sign the log. Took a My little pone, left a ww collector card.
Also left "Poparni's Yellow-TB" banana travel bug. I thought this was a good cache that people would seek out and the TB should move quickly.

After the New Years Widgee event, we had an early start, hoping to grab a swag of caches and beat the inevitable car park on the Bruce Highway later in the day.

Thanks for the cache, BC.

No red carpet parties rubbing shoulders with A listers. No sipping champagne in a ski chalet in the French Alps. Not even a couple of sparklers and a get together with relations you can't stand. Such is the stunted social life of the Bromance on New Years Eve. So instead Swellerfungus, Crookedpete and Seffnjarah decided to pack up the Zoomin' Shroom and head up to Widgee for a day of caching and a night of camping in 5 hollow-star luxury.

Heading off early on New Year's Day to beat the holiday traffic, we were making a few stops to pick up some caches including this one. Another letterbox cache to add to the Bromance's collection as continued our push towards Gunalda. We drove through the twisting back streets to reach GZ and were quite surprised just how populated this area actually is once you get in off the highway.

No problems locating the cache, as we spotted it from the car before we had even pulled up. The logbook was signed and the cache replaced with a little more cover. TFTC
 
01-Jan-18
Day two of the New Years Widgee Bromance Extravaganza (NYWBE) and we scoot north from the Newbies Event in Widgee to grab a few outliers that twinkle our fancy. Nothing too onerous, and lots of fun. Always remembering that there may be some serious traffic on the way home for the end of holiday long weekends.And yet another one for me! This is more like Dickie Knee Caching! Thanks fro the letterbox.

One more beautiful but hot day during my vacation in Australia . This morning I spotted a cockatoo on my balcony and some kangaroos in the forest , afterwards I searched for some caches and went to the beach . Life can be hard :-p

This cache I found quite fast Thanks a lot for the cache and all the best from Switzerland

Way out back of the subdivision,
I made it to the post office,
sort of !! [:o]

Well there is a cache here at least Big Grin

And I suspect there is some sort of crop being grown further along this dead end road [:o]
Not something that should interest the cops though !!
There's a lot of sugar cane bits lying around the roadsides here !! Big Grin
Mmmm !! Sweet Razz

My phone told us there was a road direct to this cache from the highway but it ended up being someone's driveway. We eventually found a zig zag way to get here anyway.
Letterboxes are my favourite cache so I was pleased to locate this one.
Thanks BC for hiding this cache out here.

Out with wombles and co at the 2017 cacheup with the newbies event for a weekend of fun camping and of course caching Smile we joined up with some other cachers Sew Rainbow, Livin_in_oz and Echocage1. This one had us scratching our head as the "street" it wanted us to turn down was someones driveway so we went back to the Puma servo and went in that way once we got there it was a quick find and covered well TFTC Smile

Oh goody, another letter box, Big Grin the second on our weaving wanderings around the area. The locals seem to be a resourceful lot judging by the creative letterboxes some of them have, we have seen a few novel designs today. GZ was a fairly open area so luckily there wasn't much traffic around on the day we went. Signed the log and did swaps and then we bid adieu to Livid_in_Oz and Sew Rainbow.

Tuesday. Slow Puncture ventured out with Orange Crew very early this morning with a nearby thunderstorm for company. We had 3 specific caches in mind (one of which was a long way away).

Having nabbed the far away cache, we were now on our way back. This one required a substantial deviation from the Highway, and Orange Crew's in-car GPS tried to tell us to go down a road which is clearly not there. So, after a while and a number of lefts and rights, we got to GZ and OC soon had the cache in hand. I am sure the locals wondered why we were driving around there with a boat in tow!

This was the 8th of 9 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Brother Colin***, for showing us this place. Smile
 
06-Dec-16
On a massive road trip with Slow Puncture to grab an unfound Earthcache on Monduran. On the return home we stopped regularly to sample some of the fine caches along the way. I always enjoy finding an LBH, so the detour off the highway was well worth it. The find was thankfully easy, so we signed and stamped the log before heading off.

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #3053. Thanks **Brother Colin** for showing us this spot. Feel free to discover our trackable TGQNRV .

Travelling around Australia and currently housesitting in Curra, Queensland.

Today is Mr FelixII's birthday and a plan was hatched to have lunch at the Theebine Hotel. But of course what's a birthday without a cache or 2. Wink

A day of walking in wet grass and slippery tracks after the overnight rain, exploring a new area to us. Just what we love about Geocaching.

A short stop and your cache was found, log signed and we were on our way.

I drive to and from Bundaberg. A lot. My car GPS has caches on it, so as I drive I can see all the smilies I've previously found - and all those annoying little green boxes. Like this one - although close on my map I seemed to drive a long time to get to it. Quick find once there though. Lovely country.

Thanks for placing this cache, Brother Colin maintained by Sweet-Sour. Found in good condition.

Found together with HDanske on our holiday to Australia, where we were on a roadtrip starting from Brisbane to Port Douglas. This was one of the many places we went to.

On our merry way heading north, we decided to drive away from Bruce to find this Letterbox. Was not very easy to get there, when the GPS in the caravan wasn't able to read coordinates (or at least we didn't manage to find out how). We did manage to get to GZ without and found the cache shortly after.

TYFTC and greetings from Denmark.

Me and my family found this cache on our holliday in Australia. We travelled from Denmark to Sydney and then by plane to Brisbane. In Brisbane we rented a motorhome, and the for 4 weeks we drowe trough Australian and ended in Cains. In this 4 weeks we found a lot of caches - Thanks to all COs who made these caches - and thanks to all those wunderful Australians we met - You truly live in a wunderful Country

Many greetings from Denmark

We will be back...............

Almost done or the day. I had to wind around to get to this one. A nice quick find once I finally get the Nuvi to co-operate with getting to GZ. Wink
 
20-Apr-16
I was in Gympie today to play tourist and I also had some items that were left in my car by Sweet-Sour and as this cache was not that far away, I could return the items and grab the cache.

I pulled the motor vehicle up at a nice shady spot and noticed that I was only 4m away. A real park and grab.

The cache was soon spotted.

The log was signed and stamped with the provided stamps and returned to the cache and the cache replace exactly as found.

All is good with this cache.

Find #471.

TFTC ***Brother Colin*** and to ***Sweet-Sour*** for maintaining it.

#449 - At the Gunalda cacheup event for newbies with Triciac2. As T-Tech wouldn't be present on Sunday, we: T-Tech, IolantheK, TriciaC2 and I went on a tour to collect a few smileys on a series of newly released caches and had a good time. IolantheK was well-prepared as usual and navigated us quickly from cache to cache, while T-Tech was our perfect driver. TriciaC2 and I just enjoyed the airconditioning in the back, although I did a bit of secretarial work!

While at the Gunalda Cacheup for the Newbies event, T-Tech, Triciac2, Dutchie1950 and I (not being Newbies) were all ineligible for the FTF runs. And since T-Tech had to return to Brisbane tonight, and we all wanted to grab some caches, Brother Colin graciously allowed us to jot down all the details for his new caches and take a tour of the area, provided we did not claim any of the FTFs.

I like Letterbox Hybrid caches and was delighted to see 2 new ones here for the Event [^] We had just done the Brooyar one, so time to take the roundabout route to this one. The cache is well hidden here. TFTC, BC.
