Mount Stanley Road #7 East Nanango, Queensland, Australia
By youngoldfella on 25-Jan-15. Waypoint GC5KR9M

Knowing this hide hadnt been found for over two years I was a bit worried when I saw the location. Lets just say some trees have fallen over and are heading downhill towards the fence. The hint said look for a burnt log. There were quite a few logs and none of them looked burnt. It was time to dig deep and by dig deep, I mean dont look very hard because this was a nice quick simple find. Future hunters might want to hurry the hell up because this cache is waiting. tftc

This is a most enjoyable drive. Wouldn't have come this way if not for geocaching. TFTC

Found whilst on a very non direct route to QOGM - Charleville 2022.
On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

Tftc YOF, day out from Nanango today to collect a few caches that we missed out on last time we were in the area
Weather fabulous , but will get warmer .

A lovely morning driving around these country roads picking up some smileys and this is one we found. All good here log signed and replaced as found. Beautiful out here this morning! Thanks for another one youngoldfella.

After a couple of days cycling in the area it was time to head home. However there is more than one way home and more than one way to travel the back roads.

Spent a very enjoyable day ambling back to Linville (not on the BVRT) . Some beautiful country through here as well.

Nothing like a good Pipe I say.

This cache like most hunted for today, was found thanks to a clear and precise hint, although i didn't need them to just eyeball gz for the obvious hide.
With a few exceptions, of course...
And cache blindness.
Thanks yof for showing me this nice stretch of countryside.
No cows were disturbed in my passing, graze on bovine buddy, graze on.

Glad these caches are here to take us on such a beautiful drive. The cows were watching us as we grabbed this cache on a lovely sunny morning. #10 Day 2. TFTC.

Completing a multitude of backlogs from a Bromance trip in August 21. Apologies for the late log. This was a bromance run in between COVID lockdowns, and somehow I didn't get to logging these finds. I was with Seffnjarah and a full team of JeznDez in the new jalopy they had recently purchased. Thanks ot the CO's for the great caches we picked up. Caching roadtrips with friends are the BEST!

Road trips for The Bromance have been few and far between since Covid-19 raised its ugly head so, with the recent travel restrictions now eased, Seffnjarah, Swellerfungus and a full complement of JezNDez headed off to subject JezNDez's new acquisition Max to the rigours of its first The Bromance geocaching weekend.

Our trip covered the Nanango, Goomeri and Kilkivan areas, and although we had visited this area back in May, we still had plenty of caches left to find up this way, including this one.

We had enjoyed our drive along the back roads in this area last time so we made sure to head back here on this visit, with the added bonus of some unlovedness on offer. No problem spotting this one as it was laying out in the open as the log had fallen apart. After adding The Bromance team stamp the cache was rehidden in a more concealed location. TFTC

Drive by. Cache in good condition

Loved finding the echidna

WillPunkey, Scoob and I out to take advantage of the ability to drive further from home and abs to get out of the house and do some caching. Found an echidna near GZ

Quick park and grab

This was our last find of the series as we only had a 2wd and the road became very muddy so we decided not to risk it.

Wet on road got through

A little chilly start to the morning ready to find some caches enjoyed the hides signed log and returned container. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache. TFTC

Out and about on a day of caching adventures, seeking Hidden Creatures and getting a few smilies . After a very early and foggy start to the day we arrived in Nanango for a quick stop to stretch the legs and acquire some sustenance for the day ahead. We then travelled up hills, down dales and all over the local country lanes bouncing over pot holes and swimming through a few boggy patches.

We scrambled through long grass, poked our hands into all manner of hidey holes and found all the caches in good order, where they were supposed to be. Logs were signed and everything was returned as found. Thanks youngoldfella for a most enjoyable day and for bringing us to a new place to explore. TNLNSL TFTC .

Today's caching hunt was brought to us courtesy of youngoldfella, with his extensive list of caches in and around Nanango. We have had another busy day selecting from the menu on offer and have had a lot of fun.
Apologies for the generic log but that's the way it has to be for us. Each found cache had our name put on its log before it was replaced as it had been found. Thanks, youngoldfella, for the variety of containers and hide types. We only wish we had more time to continue working on your caches.

A quick find! Thanks for the cache!

Decided to spend a few days camping in Nanango with my geodog Scruffy, so we just had to go out and find some of the caches hidden in this beautiful part of QLD.

All Good .. TFTC ..

By sheer luck my choice of route worked out very well. It would have been much harder to do the loop in the other direction.

I managed to step over the skull and spine on the way in without even seeing it. Noticed on the way out.

Found it with bikesu. Tftc

Touring in South Burnett with our caravan and getting some more smilies .... Whilst our caravan is parked at the Peanut Wagon.

Got 5 smilies before brekkie, now heading on until lunch.

Tftc

Have really enjoyed our afternoon along picking up our first caches in Nanango. We will have to return to get the plethora that remain. Another good find here, Tnsl tftc youngoldfella

We will be leaving very soon to attend the Red Centre Experience Event being held in Alice Springs and have decided we would try to make that event a milestone ... the only problem is we are a few hundred caches short This was the perfect excuse for a quick road trip through Nanango/Murgon/Kingaroy The weather was a little rainy, but surprisingly we remained relatively dry during the day with the worst of the rain occurring while we camped overnight [^]

We had an interesting drive along Mount Stanley Road in the i30 and we only found a few places which required careful placement to avoid the deep ruts The cache was located easily enough and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our journey.

Thank you youngoldfella for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Travelling around Australia and now super excited to be finally starting our trek to the Easter Geocaching Event at Alice Springs.

Spoilt for choice it was difficult to decide on where to cache today. We decided on a small loop before lunch then a longer list for the afternoon.

We were impressed with the quality of the cache locations and containers here in Nanango. Very happy with our total of 42 finds with only 2 DNF's add to that 1 cache that muggles were hanging around even though we tried twice today. Think we will retry that on Monday when schools in.

TFTC youngoldfella

Travelling about the Nanango area today picking up lots of caches. Nice quick find. Thanks for bringing us along this beautiful quiet country road. TFTC YoungOldFella

On a cache run from Toowoomba to Nanango with Eskies5 as I head towards a targeted milestone. Skipping over Nanango we decided to head down this road and do a bit of a loop to grab a stack! All caches along here were found after a quick search, GPS coords were excellent. Containers in great condition. Sorry about the cut and paste logs, so many found today! TFTC and day youngoldfella

A numbers run was required in order for Kestal to reach a milestone on an upcoming trip and the Nanango area provided a suitable playground. Usually I am a list maker but today I was just the driver and I had no idea what was on the agenda...a handful of those on the list I had previously found but was happy to stop by again for Kestal to jump out and make the find. I apologise for the largely cut n paste logs as we did manage to collect 50+ smilies today. TFTC youngoldfella.

#7792 Cache Found

After being idle and tied up with household chores over the last few weeks, It didn't take to much prodding to decide a mini road trip was in order.
After consulting the trusty map decided that a little adventure North through Yarraman, Narango and Kingaroy. And because youngoldfella places his caches along some great country roads the marjority of attempts would be on his caches, With a few others thrown in for good measure Nice cache thanks for bringing me here and for the adventure.

Thanks for the great cache and adventure youngoldfella

Decided to go for a drive today with the GeoWife and clean up a few green icons along the way. Plenty of fun finds and great caches. Thank you for placing the caches to be found. Tftc

Today was a combination of both domestic duties and geocaching. After moving into the caravan park and saying gidday to the Gullivers it was time to wash clothes, the floor, do some cooking etc. Then out we headed to do some geocaching. We love these rural areas for geocaching and we enjoyed the location and finding the cache. Thanks to youngoldfella for its placement and adding to our enjoyment of this location.

Today was my first ever visit to the historic Burnett region, heading to lovely Nanango for the first event held there. Of course, there were plenty of caches to be found along the way .

This cache adds to our total of 1981 smilies. Thanks youngoldfella for showing us this spot.

Happy to have been able to attend the nearby event and then off along the dirt roads with Nature0Nut to log a few caches and soak up the scenery.

The flora seemed to be greener along this stretch and lots of tiny wildflowers. Its quite dry in some patches, so hope you get rain soon

On we rolled in Sooty the dusty cachemobile...

Saturday. Slow Puncture took off early to fuel up Blue Thunder for our excellent day out at Youngoldfella's "Nanango's First Event" event. We had a hassle-free drive from Burpengary to Nanango, particularly enjoying the part of the trip from Blackbutt onwards, as we had not been past there in a long time.

Please pardon our generic log, but this is the only way we will ever get them recorded This cache, like all of the ones one our trip, was found in good order, and with lots of recent logs from cachers well known to us!

This was the 17th of 36 caches found on this trip.

Thanks [Blue]youngoldfella[/Blue], for showing us this place.

After attending Nanango's first event, Ms Maddy and I happily went caching into what seemed like the wilderness. I absolutely adored the scenery! Thank you so much for bringing us here youngoldfella! This was a nice and easy find. TFTC!

Such a great series along a great country road in the vicinity of Nanango. So many great caches to find and so many roads to explore. Loved finding these caches today. Thanks so much youngoldfella for getting the series organized, making and painting the containers, for filling them with swag, log books and pens, and for all the time in placing them, getting the co-ords right, and submitting all the information for each cache. Your time has been appreciated and the cache finding enjoyed. Cheers! [^][^]

Nice interesting road this much prefer over highways.

Out and about with triciac2 to stay with a friend in Nanango.
And with plenty of time to get a few caches as well. So we headed up this way to boost the numbers a little more.
A quick find.
Thanks for the cache.

Having left Eidsvold this morning at 8am with the aim of picking up a few caches towards Nanango on the way back to Brisbane, we had covered 41 caches when we came across this group. They were not on our original plan for the day, but popped up on the phones when signal was active. Decision time: how far out do we go? We decide to bite the bullet and do the whole lot along Mount Stanley Road and Locke Lane - 16 of them in all, and we have only an hours sunlight left. Can we do it? With a weak signal, it took a while to off-line them all, then off we set. The drive was pleasant and the caches were all in good order. We finished them all by the fading light of dusk with a great sigh of relief and sense of satisfaction. This one was found at 4.55pm on 30th August 215. TFTC.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there youngoldfella. We found your cache "Mount Stanley Road #7" at 10:28:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11351.

After a fffreeezing night the day turned out to be fine and warm. Just the sort of day for a sight seeing tour around some of the local back roads. In our travels we found 8 caches ranging in size from micro all the way up to a 10 litre bucket.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,

Spending a few days up in the Kingaroy and Nanango districts and places closeby from my place in Brisbane. Due to the number of caches found, I have decided to do a generic log. To all the CO's, a big thank you for bringing us to your area and the many varied caches we found. Thank you for bringing us along the country road, Mt Stanley Road. TFTC

Having another annual caching trip to Nanango and Kingaroy with Richmond Lad. Last year we thought we had found most of them but some wonderful COs keep putting out more to entice us back to this lovely region of Queensland. We have driven along quiet , gum tree lined country roads, spotted some peaceful waterways and are becoming experts at stumps!!! Thank you to all the COs who have caches in this area - you are all doing a wonderful job creating, placing and maintaining your hides.

Phone service playing havoc.

This cache was found at 16:34 on 19 April 2015 and is another find for my ever growing geo:map.

It was also part of a Geocaching bush adventure that I shared with Fairy Mother today.

When deciding where to go hunting, it is always a struggle trying to find somewhere that one has not been... Well, upon looking at the map it was decided that a place once visited, was calling out for our return. That area being the now heavily cached-up and beloved Nanango.

Thank you for the cache !
