Wow! Just over two years since this cache had been found and it is still in perfect nick. I didnt know that was possible although the cache container is resilient.I wonder how many sleepless nights this cache has had waiting to be found. I have a sleepless night when I havent drunk a bottle of wine so I felt for it. tftc

Great view from here. 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.

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

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.

Here i was thinking it was downhill to me destination.

I made the detour on the tredley out to these three caches before turning back for eclipse. This, the furtherest out, was only one point two km one way, it was a nice day (ok it was cloudy and pseudo raining) a nice quiet road, albeit a bit rutted and corrugated in parts, and a herd of cows were chilling on the corner and amused them as i passed.
Something you don't see everyday at gz. No snakes sighted today, big goanna though. Lotta cows. Some kangaroos on loche and one really angry magpie... in a pear tree?
Thanks for taking me out here with a geocache. So curious whats further.

All is quiet out on these roads today. We have them to ourselves. Another quick find on a calm and peaceful day. Loving this area so much. Day 2 and our 11th find. 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. This cache was soon found safe and well with The Bromance team stamp added to the logbook. TFTC

TFTC nice easy find! Love discovering these back roads.

TFTC

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. after this one we kept driving east to meet up with another geo trail

Thoroughly enjoying this country drive.

Weekend away with Benny boppers, Lisylou and Mnance101. Lovely day for a drive. Tftc

Quick find. Log was a little soggy. Nice countryside. Tftc

Other one flow water got through but wish us luck get back

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.

Loved this series! Thanks for taking us to this area! Really enjoyed it!

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.

V. Wet inside, but log dry .. TFTC ..

Well that was a blast. [^] Very happy with my route choice now. The geocycle had a great workout down the ruts to this one.

When I started the descent I thought I had a long way to go to the cache. I was having so much fun I almost missed it. [B)]

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.

Thanks for this trail. Now keeping on driving the dirt road.... to the next power trail.

Tftc

This one took a little while, we couldn't get the GPS to settle & walked around in circles until geohubby made the find. This place felt a bit eerie, it was so quiet, but trees rustling & cool breeze made it feel unnerving. Geohubby insisted it was all in geomums mind, she knows he was right. Tnsl tftc youngoldfella xo

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

Back home after a couple of weeks caching, camping, and 4wding. Catching up on all the logs.

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.

Dropping a Wooden Geocoin that has an interesting log history...seems there is one floating around in Oz as well as Europe...it was grabbed off me and I have had to grab it back to drop it. So there is a high probability it won't be listed in this cache by the time the next finder comes along.

#7793 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.

Solved 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 .

Last if the series, we said hello to the bovines before turning around and heading back. This cache adds to our total of 1982 smilies. Thanks youngoldfella for showing us this spot.
Feel free to discover our trackable code TGQNRV

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 18th 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!

Came out to the end of the Mt. Stanley geocaches to work my way back towards town. Found the cache safe and sound and was happy to add my geocaching signature to the log. Thanks for a great series youngoldfella. I just loved driving around this wonderful countryside. [^][^]

This was one of 26 today.
Having done the ones on the top road, it's time for Mount Stanley Rd ones.
Had just found this when Team Benders came from further up Mt Stanley Rd, didn't know that there was any more caches to find, there isn't. they must have been having a look see

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 4.50pm on 30th August 215. TFTC.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there youngoldfella. We found your cache "Mount Stanley Road #8" at 10:32:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11352.
[Blue]
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 9 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,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

we go again but on way home for Brisbane TFTC

Last of the series of Mt Stanley Road caches and this one took us the longest to find.

Signed the log and returned to hide.

A favourite for this series of caches which allowed us to see the country and for the work you put in.

Geo-hubby headed out to Nanango / Kingaroy area for a two day caching run,
with our good friend Konie.
A great time was had, finding a good variety of hides and caches.
Many thanks to all the CO's for the effort you have put into your caches,
for us and others to find.

Out and about with The Drovers for a few days caching in the Nanago and Kingaroy areas. We managed to find a variety of caches with lots of different containers and this was one of them.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Last one on this road for now. Thanks for sharing this area.

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.

Well, that's that leg done. I think we are going to have to call it a day. Thanks for all the caches today youngoldfella, it really kept us entertained.

This cache was found at 16:35 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 youngoldfella!

Found trinket took treasure.

Out on a big adventure today, April 19, 2015 4:32PM geocaching with MinkosDes working our way to Nanango again. Love the area. TFTC youngoldfella much appreciated.

I had pedaled from towne to the last of the Mount Stanley Road caches
And right on cue the heavens opened up and down came a heavy shower
How refreshing

While I hid behind a tree, I signed the logbook and enjoyed a can of fizzy cola for mid morning tea

With the rain passed for now, I headed back to Nang.
A surprisingly quick journey due to the down-hilliness of the ride [^]

I parked up the hill where I could get off the road a bit & walked back when I could see a ute heading towards me. The driver slowed down & asked if I was ok. Explained what I was doing & thanked him for his concern. He was intrigued about my hobby so I invited him on the hunt as had yet to look for the cache. We tracked it down, I signed the log & he asked where he could get more info. I removed the cache note & gave it to him, outlining the difference between the two & pointing out the relevant one. Pretty certain no more muggles will "find" the cache. We introduced each other & when I mentioned this was the last & I was heading back to Bull Camp Rd he pointed out I could drive ahead which would be much shorter. Thanked him & away we went. Thanks

When Guddink put the call out for a weekend in Nanango I was immediately keen - I have fond memories of this area from my childhood and I had also heard about the awesome caches here. I roped in my trusty caching buddy, Lost 2 Found, and with campsites booked we were all ready for a weekend of caching.

The final one for this road before a UTurn so we can continue the loop. A quick stop to photograph a beautiful tree and off we went.

Nice and quiet out here except for the cows. Thanks for the cache youngoldfella

Find #1612

We decided it was time to visit our 'Country Cousins' to see what was on offer away from the burbs!
Our main target area was Nanango but a few stray caches here & there all add to the growing smilie map.

Still problems with the signal. I SOOO need to get my GPSr up & running ASAP!
Stumbled around for a little while checking possible cache locations & came up with the prize!

Out in the area for a long weekend of RnR.
With some new caches in the area we were set for a few days of caching in this hot weather.

Travelled down the country road enjoying what this area has to offer.

The recent rain had certainly made the area nice & green.

Cache was quickly found & log signed.

We packed a picnic lunch and made an early start, planning to pick up the caches around Nanango, that have popped up since we were last here.We always enjoy coming to this area and it was nice to see the countryside so green. The caches were all in good condition and well stocked with swaps. Most of the finds were quick finds, but a couple had us looking for a while. Thanks Youngoldfella for all your effort placing the caches. We will be back again to do the multis as we ran out of time.
