Fire has destroyed the cache, a travel bug and it's hiding spot. Time for retirement.

sad day when you go out to rescue a TB and its gone. RIP tb. couldn't find any sign of you. Saw a melted pen and a few others thing though.

Area has been destroyed by fire and wood collectors, nothing but ash, burnt trees and broken bottles within GZ area.

11:11:00 AM. Had been muggled out of this one before but today managed the find as it was quiet. Log signed. Thanks Camo75 for the cache.

Dropped off owl tb

How nice, a drive by cache found in reasonable time at 11:50am! The only drawback was the silent mosquitoes, however 2 dead and hopefully no bites! SL Left: crocodile, pathtag & 5 yr Geocoin (I was unable to log) Took: 15 years of caching & 7 Deadly Ducks TB's. TFTC

Nice spot for a cache. Nice size cache in good condition. No problems finding it.

This one was interesting. The police were on traffic patrol and using this area to hand out a fine then they moved dome campers on while I was "powdering my nose". Then as it was getting on in the day I nearly missed this find in the low light. Cool container and a beautifully done hide. SL dipped trackables, I was going to leave them, but the water level has me concerned. And of course conducted a swap. Tftc

The mosquitos indeed were a pain, even with a super quick find.

Very wet ground tftc

Pulled up here but would have had to traverse a muddy, wet area to check the cache. Hope if it's at ground level it hasn't floated away. Thanks.

A a drive to Serina TFTC

Great to stretch the legs - Found on our drive from Rocky to Sarina ... Interesting to read about this bit of history Shortbsearch after stomping through the long grass T4TC #4041

Nice place for a break and a large cache to find. Heading to Flaggy Rock so picking up some caravan friendly caches on the way TFTC

Found it at 21:55pm. Not easy to make the find this time of night but the smiley is there now. Tftc

Found

Rocky to St. Lawrence.
We stopped at different caches along the way , where we found suitable parking for a caravan.

Thanks for placing this cache Camo75

Last one for the day.
Went for a walk too far and after reading the description, was not looking forward to the possibility of wet feet.
Found on the way back to the car.
Dry feet and all OK with this one.

Found With MaDawg and the kids on our long drive from Townsville to Toowoomba

2nd time found it thanks

TFTC up high good toys

18/1/16 135pm Found it with Caitlyn1105 snd Chelsea1902. How did we miss that huge container on first visit. Maybe because we were avoiding the muggles. TFTC SL

16/1/16 5pm Did a good search around long grass and trees.? Did not find. Try again later

A fantastic place to place a cache as a vehicle that is either large or tiny will fit here. SL L 2 x TB TFTC

Thanks for bringing me here, it was quite interesting to read. The smell from the nearby mango tree was quite strong. TFTC!

Tftc

Nice spot. TFTC

Didn't have enough time to look for it. We will have another try next time we go past it.

We couldnt find it due to our gps not working properly! Had a look around but still couldnt find it! Oh well, you win some, you lose some!!

Braved the long grass for very quick find
Left track able for the next geocacher

TFTC

Easy find grabbed coin to move on

Wasn't going into long grass. If hid in long grassed area not safe due to snakes.

Short stop and short search

Found it quickly, thanks for the cache!

Was a quick find. Good timing, as we signed the log there arrived a few mugglecars ^^ TFTC

we're on holiday and traveling from Brisbane to Cairns (Cape Tribulation) and all places between. we try to find a cache every day. some are easy to find and some are more difficult. but with every cache we find we get a smile on our face and a smile on our map.
thanx and hot huggies from Hilvarenbeek - Holland!

GOLD, GOLD, GOLD, no rush just a lazy break from driving.

While spending 16 months abroad, travelling through all states of Australia and also having a two months break in Thailand I did a lot of geocaching.
After many, many caches accompanied by the strong will not to write any standard logs, I ended up with more than 1000 finds, all waiting for an official log. After intense considerations and carefully weighing my options, you now receive this special limited edition numbered log.

This is my unique non-standard log #73.

Thanks a lot Camo75 for taking care of this cache, showing me this place and turning my travels into an adventure!

Greetings from Germany.
Keep on caching!
Theatralis ?

That’s roughly the route I travelled:
Germany – Sydney – Cairns – Cape Tribulation – Armidale – Sydney – Canberra– Melbourne – Tasmania – Melbourne – Boinka – Adelaide – Alice Springs – Darwin – Adelaide – Melbourne – Perth – Rottnest Island – Denmark – Perth – Melbourne – Thailand – Brisbane – Sydney – Adelaide – Boinka – Melbourne – Germany

And finally some statistics:
Days abroad: 44
Days of geocaching: 27
Geocaches abroad: 73
Geocache of the day: 1/3

Nice place for a cashe, tftc

Today on our vacation in Australia we drove from Stoney Creek in Eton to Rockhampton. On the way south we stopped several times to stretch the legs and to look for some geocaches. We visited some nice places witch we wouldn't have visited without geocaching. Thanks to the CO for hiding a cache.

I found this cache on the way to Rockhampton.

A quick one on the way to Brisbane. Tftc!

On a road trip up to Townsville for a very important meeting for Mrs Bundy. She is heading to Japan for a month away, in a couple of months time, with Scouts to attend the 23rd World Scout Jamboree. She is going as a Troop Leader, in charge of 36 people. I feel its a great honour for her, for her 25 + years of dedicated work as a leader.

On our way back home, grabbing a few as we go.

Nice easy one.

Cheers

Bundy

Great cache, nice stop. Good excuse to stretch our legs. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC another on my map heading south. Great spot for a cache. I have passed by a few times thinking this would work well.

Nice cache to enjoy a coffee. Mr geo got this one pretty quickly;) nice big roomy cache, to marks for the quality. All nice and dry. Thank you.

Tftc

returning from the MEGA Event
and had to stop during daylight hours
to scratch that DNF from a few days ago
still took me longer than I thought it would [:o)]
I over shot it, and got dragged back by the reluctant caching partner
"What are you doing over there ... seriously are you looking for this."
Yep ... but obviously didn't have my caching goggles on either
must have walked right past the other night.
all good here
now time to try and get home before dark.
cheers Cam

4th one for today

Nice hiding spot.

Driving south to stanthorpe and the mega with half of jackylegs44. This was one of the few caches we stopped for.
Thanks for the cache

Found on our roadtrip to stanthorpe for the mega event. Well needed break to stretch legs. Tftc sl tnln .

OK it was late
and too dark for a good look
needed a find for the calendar
but it wasn't going to be here
not today anyway

On our [trip around the world](http://www.hoppundweg.piekar.de/) we came to Australia as well. We started in Tasmania, rented a campervan in Melbourne and went up the Eastcoast to Cairns. Then we drove all the way to the Red Centre. We finished in Darwin. We searched many caches and found almost every cache we searched for . Thanks to all the owners of these caches. Now, 2 years later, we recognized, we will never be able to log every cache seperately... So: Sorry for this standard logtext and thanks for one of the caches, which accompanied us on our journey.

Wow, a STF in Australia .
Nice stop. Was a good hiding. Has to search a little.
Left a TB here, suits good on this place .
