A bit of a last moment trip but was great full the Bug could also do the dash. Some Interesting puzzles and scenery in between brilliant sun light and rain showers. We had a look at a couple of creeks for future visits.
Struggled with a few hides and the phone certainly didn’t behave at times.
This one sounded interesting and we had to use a bit of stealth mode. We thought we had the right idea and it proved correct.
Signing duties completed and re hid. TFTC

What a awesome little find. Such a beautiful man he was too. TFTF

With the rain about we thought we would head into town to grab this one today. And with most muggles at home staying dry we were able to make the find without any muggle eyes on us. Tftc

Nice little cache, had seen this type before so was reasonably easy. Met some nice people while doing it, elderly group who loved the thought of it and are now going to do geocaching.
It's in good condition.

If this guy was as good as the hide he was an absolute cracker. Razz Well done and TFTC Alleycatz4700. Fav from us!

TFTC,
Out in the sun today to grab a few caches before moving on tomorrow.
This one goes to the top of my list, adding a favourite and visited trackables.
Added a new log sheet.
 
08-Aug-20
Arrived at near GZ, looked around for the man, eventually we found what we were looking for, then soon located the the container, put a new log in container, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to Alleycatz4700

Greetings from Brisbane. My husband and I decided to come up here for a weekend and what a great weekend it has been . I dropped my husband at the races and then had a walk around town to find a few caches . my first instincts were correct but I had to read previous logs before I read how to access the cache. how good is that. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Nice quick find. Not all pastors are good people but hopefully this man was. Religion is the bane of humans existence and the major cause of war.

Thanks for the CACHE though.

Thanks for the cache

I was a bit flummoxed by this cache, but eventually worked out what I needed to do the find it. A very clever and out-there hide. Who would think there would be a cache here in the middle of the busy city.
 
04-Aug-19
Thanks for the cache. Clever hide. This would be difficult during a weekday! Signed a W in a full log.
Cheers

Caching in and around the area, we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

Sneaky hide, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found and signed with purple sharpie. Log photo attached. Thanks.
 
I tired this one two days in a row, but I must be doing something wrong. I know where it has to be, but can’t get access to it.

Meant to send this a few weeks ago: log is full. Paper seems to get wet. Please replace log.

Great spot passing through Rocky - did not sign log as is full but have a photo if necessary TYFC
 
13-May-19
We found the cache at 14:15 pm. The logroll is totaly full now. On the last open space of 3 mm. we signed with MG.
Please replace logroll for a new one and fill up our name, date and time as first.
Cache gives an interesting piece of historic info. TFTC

After meeting with colleagues nearby, grabbed this. Interesting! Log is full. Has been wet. Signed on top of what was once someone’s signature, but the ink had run after cache got wet.

Eventually twigged, nice cache but log is not signable. I have photo if required. Tftc
 
03-Apr-19
We were in Rocky for a short visit... and without a , so had to choose caches reasonably close by.
We were lucky that the few we picked were all interesting.
This one surprised me as I expected it to be in a leafy green park.
We circled the "good man" a few times and came up empty.
Okay another round, closer and more carefully.
About to give up, when friend said "found it"
I had already tried there but she had the magic touch and was able to get cache in hand. Awesome!
Thanks for the cache... we loved it Alleycatz

Wow, what a tricky one! Luckily we came by on a Sunday afternoon when nearly nobody was around. So we could walk around the "Good Man", stand some time in front of "him", thinking about a possible hiding place and trying the very unlikely but only one - and there it was. Great satisfaction!!!
Thank you for this very special cache!

Finally found this one. I am only ever in Rockhampton passing through and this had alluded me a couple of times on my post driving pre dinner walks but not this time. Couldn't extract log book but so glad I found it.
 
08-Feb-19
Found. Thankyou.

Woah! Rad geocache. Coolest one yet!
 
31-Dec-18
It was unfortunate that we had to leave Rockhampton, and it was more unfortunate we were heading to the party town of Biloela to bring in the new year. When we planned our parents-only holiday 6 months ago, we were only thinking about the "no-kids" bit and not the destinations.

We weren't in any rush to get to Bilo, so we spent the morning walking around town so I could excitedly show Mrs Woodyrothwell all the pubs I used to frequent. Strangely, she didn't seem that interested. The CBD hadn't come to life yet, so we were able to perform some electrical maintenance to find the hide. tftc

So many muggles, but we were discreet. The hint was helpful and Master 5 was the right height to find it. Didn’t even attempt to pull the log book out - will be adding tweezers to our kit. Thank you for an awesome hide. Have driven past thousands of times and had no idea it was there.

Hi there Alleycatz4700.

We found your cache **"He Was a Good Man Too"** at 11:08:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 20386).

We started the day off by nominating a cache in Rockhampton, and then following a "next closest" route as determined by the GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route. We didn't have any trouble extracting the log sheet, so it proudly bears our name.

We found 5 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

TFTC. In town as we wanted to visit the Anglican Cathedral as last time it was shut and it still is. The cache was exposed when we arrived. All good now. It took longer to retrieve log than to find and replace. Suggest an extraction tool. Eco & Rev

This was tricky.. DrKloebner and I looked for this yesterday evening. It was very busy because of the festival but we had the right thing in our hands - without recognizing it. So we put it back. Today we had the right idea and could log it. Yes!! We send a foto log to the owner as it was not possible to sign the logbook.
 
15-Jul-18
He was a very tricky man, too... Wink Yesterday evening we went to this place and expected the right spot very quickly. We had only short time to look closer because of the many festival muggles. And ... we had it in our hands but did not know it. So we decided to come back this morning, hopefully with less muggles around. But the Rockhampton people are earlybirds. Wink Finally we were able to look again and - of course, yes, Yanall had the one idea! Smile The logbook is very wet so we would have damaged it while pulling out. Yanall has already sent you an email for a photolog. It is our only one in your beautiful city, and maybe one of the best caches here. I spend a favorite. TFTC! Smile
