While traveling to Gympie with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to stop and find a few caches along the way...
All Good .. TFTC ..

First time out looking for caches in a couple of months with geodaughter. The cache was in an eclipse container and coordinates also seem to be out.TFTC
Nice shady place. Log was damp, but we found a part to write on. Then geohubby suggested we find paper in the car.
Notebook located and a dry piece placed inside for the next cacher. Tftc

Looks like tgis one got muggled although they left it ok. The cache was in plain sight out in the open. Damp log needs attention tftc
Needs attentions as it was out in the open. Have hidden somewhat but easy to see in tree
Didn't think it was here anymore with all the work that had been done but found it eventually
3:14:00 PM. Taking the quiet way home. GPS had us going in circles here for a bit but we found it in the end. Log signed. Thanks for the cache Jones.gang
Heading up to Gympie for a work course, and managed to leave early enough to fit in a few previously unfound caches along the way. Quick find here.

So... here’s my little story: arrived at the site to see that most of the trees have been cut down and the ground levelled by excavators. Felt a bit sad about that, and that this one was most likely gone, but had a bit of a look around anyway. You never know, right? Didn’t find anything. As I was walking back at the car I spotted the cache from about 10m away. It was intentionally exposed with other items placed with it, to draw attention I assume. Yay!!! Whoever had done the work had found the cache and left it for us. They even signed the log! Big thank you to Noosa council for keeping this alive . Suspecting where actual gz was, I left it in the place I found it and covered it over with a bit of nature’s camo.
On the way home from gympie races my muggle husband and I decided to pick up some more smilies on the way back to Brisbane. What a lovely little spot this is. Used our geosenses to find this cache. Thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
A bit of back tracking along old Bruce took me to this hollow place
Where about 10 metres north of GZ,
I found the cache
TFTC and break from the new Bruce [^]

Got this one eventually as the cache is about 20M from the stated co-ordinates. TFTC
Out for a day of caching with storigirls, Mr Curious Quest and 1MinnieMoo. This cache popped up on the GPSr in the geomobile and we decided to stop to make a find. None of our phones could agree where to locate GZ. the others headed off to where they thought the cache might be located. Meanwhile, I checked the D/T rating, and decided that the cache would not be there. I looked around and spotted a likely spot. A quick look and I spotted the cache just outside the hollow. I think it is possible that an animal may have claimed the hollow as its home. With our names added to the log and the cache returned to its hiding spot, it was time to head home. TFTC
up the coast today with Selvagirls, Stortigirls, and 1Minnie Moo to do some caching.The cache was a quick find and after signing the log all was returned as found. TFTC,
I was out caching in the area today with Selva Girls, 1minniemoo and Mr Curious Quest when this cache popped up on the car gps. We pulled up near gz and spread out to hunt. Selva Girls soon found the container in the obvious place and all names were added to the log. TFTC!

The final cache for us here today, and some legs that were very grateful there weren't to be more. Selva Girls pulled the car up and we all exited and began our search. I saw what looked like an interesting area and headed in, along with Curious Quest, and StortiGirls headed over and around the other way, with our compasses all bouncing around and pointing to different spots. However it was Selva Girls who came up with the goods in what seemed like an appropriate little hollow - although it is quite possible an animal may have claimed this spot too as the cache was just outside of the hollow.
Thanks for the cache Jones.gang.

After a hunt we spotted a perfect spot for a cache turns out we were right #801finds
What a pretty place this is that I would never have know was there if it wasn't for the cache. TFTC
Made hard work outof this one. Was not were we first thougt and moved to the cut down trees. After a fruitless search we moved on to other trees and found some bottles and the cache. TFTC
We have set up camp for a couple of days at Kanganda, a good location to head along the Amamoor Muster Trail & the south along the Old Bruce Highway. A great contrast in regions from forestry , highways into small towns.
A good variety of locations & caches found.
Thanks for placing this cache Jones.gang

Found log and baggie blowing in the wind.... not sure where it was supposed to be but left a new container and tucked it into a likely spot... some trees recently cut down at location so cache may need a new home .
Found this while on the way past heading to Imbil for a camping weekend.
All good with it.

There is still quite a lot of traffic that uses the old highway.
Not much water in the creek today. Another quick find here.

We had just bought a new car and thought we would give it a run up here finding this series. We loved that thought had been given to making sure that we had a proper place to pull of the road to look for these caches. This one took us a while to find. In the end we retraced our steps and had a closer look and found it. TNLNSL TFTC
Lovely spot for a break. Soon had log signed. Thanks for all the work put into this wonderful geo trail......only wish we had more time to pick up more. We are big fans of trails and placed our own in Christchurch NZ. Thanks
Up here on the Sunshine Coast for a 3 day weekend of caching. Decided to do as many caches as we could but not overdoing it. Found 80 caches in the 3 days and a big thank you to all CO's. It brought us to spots that we would not probably travelled. TFTC
Visiting the Sunshine Coast area for a few days of caching. Visited many interesting places and found a variety of cache containers. Thank to all the COs for the effort of placing and maintaining your caches.
Tftc and for bringing us to this pretty little spot, it was very peaceful...apart from the string of muggle cars!
Found it, though not in the very first place I looked - see pic - that was how I learned that all young fry like to climb trees.( including mozzie "wrigglers") What a beautiful spot. I grew up just over the hill from here, and never having had motive or opportunity, I never found this lovely spot before. TFTC
On our way to Noosa and had to do some geocaching.
Found in the first place we looked.

Better luck second time. Tried to find this about 7 months ago but had been muggled glad to say it was present and correct this time. tnln sl thank you for the cache
I had looked for this one about a year ago and failed to find it so was happy to be able to log a find this time.
As I stepped out of the car I was greeted by the soothing sounds of trickling water. The height of the water from Cyclone Debbie's recent deluge was evident in the grass strewn over the nearby fences and the running stream was gorgeous. Thanks for the cache here. Was my favourite stop of the day
#7887 Cache Found
Out and about today with a view to finish where I left off on the Crazy Flying Machines and others further North
Thanks for the great cache and adventure Jones.gang

#45 Great little cache. Love 'The Old Bruce' series thanks Jones.gang for all your hard work placing this series.
Have been eyeing off The Old Bruce series since they were published a few months ago. Driving back to Townsville from Brisbane, I decided today was a great day to take a slight detour and try to locate these caches.
Nice spot.
Log signed. Took nothing and left nothing. Cache container and log in great condition.
Finding this cache has now given me a total find count of 1560.
Thanks for the cache hide **Jones.gang**.

Out for a mornings caching, haven't been up this road before, thanks for showing us another wonderful spot.
Driving past on the new highway I can see this series pop up around me, so chose today to take the old road and pick up a few caches on the way.
Thanks for placing this cache, Jones.gang & sphir3. Found in good condition.

Searched around, but didn't have any success. All the times father drove us to and from Gympie I don't recall stopping in this restful spot. Well worth a visit!
