All stumps on both sides of the road are totally burnt out. I suspect the cache has been incinerated. ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

Burnt out of existence. Time to go.

A very last minute decision sees me driving a couple of hours north to spend the day in Nanango…

A great day driving the country roads collecting a variety of caches…

I’d like to say this was a quick find, but it wasn’t…

tftc…

Quick find on a big day of caching.

Find number 58 with my target of 70 seeming achievable

Found safe and sound

Sad to see the end of stump ones. Thanks to previous cacher for renewing container to keep it going. 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.

Find #11050

Spending a day caching around Nanango on all the roads less travelled and having lovely chats with the local farmers Horace & Matilda who were watching us from their B&B ‘The Block’ and came down to see what we were up to and are now officially appointed the honorary cache guardians

A new container with CO permission tucked between stump and tree

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Find # 8684

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

Two old Tassies having another go at a few caches not too far out, fitting them in between other necessities for the day. Got a fair string this arvo. including this one which was an easy grab for a driveby on a nice quiet road. Thanks for many of today's finds youngoldfella.

Dnf, found a stump, no cache

Not stumped on this one today

I initially only had one cache as the target for today. One from 2003.
Then i noticed eclipse on the map.
How can i come here and not find a 4.5/2. After all, i've only ever found one of them so far.
So then i had two targets for the day.
Those two ended up being twenty seven caches i found in a big loop around eastern nanango that i totally wasn't expecting. Especially considering i casually pedalled off from town at midday!
This was another that was easily discovered under the threat of rain.
Made for a pretty sky all day at least.
No rainbows.
Thanks yof!!

We are really enjoying exploring around the countryside. The ground beneath our feet is all crispy and crunchy being so dry. This cache was found just sitting out in the open. We popped it back at the base of a tree. 28 found today already. TFTC and the fun we are having finding all of them.

TFTC. We are in Nanago for a few days before heading to Maryborough on Friday. We arrived just after lunch and set up camp at the showgrounds. We then settled on a direction to head to find as many caches as possible in the couple of hours before it got dark. A great couple of hours with 21 finds and only 1 DNF. Despite the rain the dirt roads were in good condition. High grass, so glad we were playing today and not in the height of summer. Thanks YOF for the adventure.

My husband and I are staying at nanango for a couple of days and this afternoon i dropped him off at the races and I'm off finding some caches. Love this country rd. Nice place for a cache. View are lovely. Thankyou for all the fun

Logs a bit wet. Dried a bit and put in new bags.

Had a bit of water in cache. Cleaned up the best we could.

I found your cache with my Dad, Oddiewan and most of the time, Semik. I am way behind on logging so learned how to use templates so I can catch up. Sorry this is not a detailed log, but I will do better with my logging now that I have the ability to log caches on a mobile phone. Thanks for the cache youngoldfella

Nearly parked on it

Caching with Oddiewan, Moneydork, Flash_Cat, BitternA4 and others at the New Year event in Kilkivan. Exploring the area caching style and as always lots of laughs when enjoying time with friends.

Off the beaten track now yeah! Quick find could almost retrieve sitting on car. TFTC.

Had a fab adventure with Ms Maddy today and over the last few days in her efforts to reach a special milestone at the mega. Much appreciated was the hospitality of YOF and his lovely wife at the end of the day. Out this way we found some very durable caches, a small fluffy animal, some swans, cows, dogs, awesome views and rolling fields, surprisingly a lot of cars heading out on their own adventures, the best bakeries in the country ofcourse and a whole lot of laughter. I am not sure how many we picked up but it was over 50. I really appreciated the work put into the large number of caches at Nanango. I am sorry about the generic logs. and a huge Tftc

The marathon caching run continues and lucky to have Miss Direction’s company for this adventure. There were new places to explore and took pics of black swans and cattle, startled a small furry critter at a cache, ran to some, stumbled to others, drank coffee, peered under and over and around things, scored a few itchy bites, and replaced a couple of missing hides. A fab day out Apols for the generic logs as a few to log tonight.

TFTC YOF!

We have come out to chase some caches we have noticed when up this way when doing the rail trail series.All good with cache. Thanks youngoldfella.

Found on my third day geocaching in an around Nanango. Today the East and Northeast was the area to be explored. 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 caches have mostly come to us courtesy of youngoldfella. We decided to go as far as Nanango and cache along the way. Each of the found logs had our name added before we moved on and each was replaced as it had been found. Many thanks go to youngoldfella for adding to our caching experience by placing so many caches around the Nanango district.

After a bike ride over Mt Stanley, I decided to take a detour on the drive home to find some caches to help get me to an upcoming milestone. I continued north and found some caches on the road over to Nanango then began the long drive home. Thanks for placing these

Lovely wild flowers & tranquility. Tftc's along here youngoldfella xo

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 ..

Off on our caching tour after brekkie. Nice green country side. Tftc

Found it with bikesu. Tftc

In Nanango for a day or so geocaching with Selva Girls. There were quite a few green dots [^] we wanted to turn into yellow smileys.

Pleasant drive in the country which has been refreshed and green from recent rains. Could almost grab this from the car.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 9.13am on 24th March 2017. 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 managed to locate this cache easily 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.

Day 2 of discovering caches around Nanango Thanks for bringing us along this country road for a very pleasant drive. TFTC YoungOldFella

Nice easy find while camping with the family for the weekend. Tftc.

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.

26/3/16 camping for the Easter break in the area and hoping to grab a few caches whilst in the area. I ducked out with the geoboy (hoping he would have a rest whilst I found a few caches) and I was mighty impressed with the various caches and hides today.

Tenth find for the day. Super quick find and all is good here.

After spending the last few weeks settling in to my new abode and being domestic and stuff like that. Decided that I had to get back to doing what I like best Geo Caching. So I set out on a mini road trip to explore my new surrounds and hopefully pick a few caches along the way. Thanks for bringing me here

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.

Found with Tassiegirl while out here for this weekend's event.

We were out today to clean up some caches that we had missed while in town for the event TFTC

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 .

Lucky there were lots of trees cut down around here, plenty of food for the termites and hiding spots for caches!! This cache adds to our total of 1985 smilies. Thanks youngoldfella for showing us this spot.

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 21st of 36 caches found on this trip.

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

Great Hill Views here youngoldfella and another great location for a geocache. Most of the caches I've found today have been yours and I want to thank you for the enjoyment I've had driving around this glorious countryside. I've found 42 caches and no DNF's today which is not a bad total as I've been on my own. The fact that none of my hunts ended in a DNF shows the dedication you have to the great game of geocaching and the maintenance done. Cheers and happy caching! [^][^]

Arrived at Nanango for the local Waterhole Rock weekend so had some time to check out some new caches. Love the different containers.
Thanks to the owner for there dedication to the cause.

Out and about by myself while Mum visits a friend in town for a couple of hours.
So I headed north of town as there is a good chance I will be back for the December event.
Got to leave somewhere to cache.
A quick find here.
Thanks for the cache.

Found this cache lying beside the road outside of its hiding spot, there was rustling in the long grass and evidence of animal digging at location so suspect that is how cache ended up on road. After signing the log we replaced in hiding spot and covered with some bigger bits of bark but not sure if this will deter whatever was digging. TFTC

Took a detour to find this one on our way to finding one of Queensland's oldest caches.
Found easily and quickly.

Happy International Geocaching Day!

This was a nice quick find whilst on this trail of caches.

About today:
It was decided by Fairy Mother and I that we wanted to get out and do some Geocaching for this celebratory day and also do it in a place that we really enjoy hunting. That place was out west in Nanango. An area that we have both enjoyed hunting from the moment we started Geocaching.

The day was just perfect for it. There was a crispness to the air, the sky was a stunning blue and the company was, as always, perfect. All of this added to what was a pleasant day of laid back hunting.

This time we decided that we would both meet up in Nanango to save on time (allowing for more caching time!). The two and a bit hour drive out just flew by for me today. Being taken on a ride by the GPS, I went via a few fun dirt roads to get here and grab a sneaky cache or two along the way.

Thanks for the Geocache youngoldfella.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there youngoldfella. We found your cache "Hill Views" at 11:34:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11361.

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 18 caches ranging in size from micro all the way up to a 10 litre bucket.

Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 8m ESE 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,

Last one for this evening as it is dark now and it is growing colder and is going to get down to minus 2.
As we neared the GZ, I headed in to find it and it was a quick find and I signed the log.
The cache was returned to hide with coverage and we headed back to the motel and a nice meal at the RSL next door.

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.

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. TFTC. Took TB.

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.
