Found this one ok, but managed to skip a few, by driving, navigating and finding solo from Rockhampton to Charters, thanks for another cache.

Another quick find With Juju54 TFTC

TFTC. Easy find. Container and log are damp

We had a great day finding caches along this road and this is one we found after another stop along the road. All good with the cache, log signed and replaced as found. Thanks Nedandmrskelly for this one.

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 # 8202

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 113. Lotus Creek to Marlborough. I got moving fairly quickly to get the twenty or so army caches I had left to do today before leaving Lotus Creek. That all went smoothly, and then I returned to the Marlborough series. That is a bit up and down these days. I saw some very interesting caches and a few odd locations. I then settled into the Marlborough pub caravan park for a quiet afternoon and a dinner in the pub.

A nice simple roadside cache to keep things moving along.

Thanks for the cache Nedandmrskelly

Long, tough but enjoyable day.

Easy find, don't wait a while

We had a look around and ya found it ,off to do more of this trail..tftc

After finding a nearby cache, I headed to this one. A quick find and sign and I was on my way again. TFTC

In the area today as I head north and picking up caches along the way and this was one of them. Started at Marlborough Rd and did the loop finishing at St Lawrence and then back to camp at Marlborough. A great adventure!

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for me and others to enjoy.

Found it with pippahicup

On the second leg of a GC trip with Drennostar on our way to a wedding. Making our way to Sarina via the back roads.
Left a mini gnome to protect the cache.

Found jbj2020

On our way home from our TL21 four day caching tour heading back to the Burdekin from Yeppoon. Amazing what is on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. This is our sixth for the day TFTC

Had a 1 night stopover at the free camp near Marborough so I went out in the morning to find this and a few other Marlborough series caches. This was one I found before moving on up the old Marlborough stretch. TFTC

If you don’t mind the creepies...

Found by Mary and David at 15:20. Delighted to find a good sized container here. We drove this road today to see what it was like now (as well as for these caches). So many memories for David, who drove this road quite a few times while based at RAF Base Townsville. In 1968 and again in 1971, he flew to Brisbane to collect a new car from the then Acacia Ridge Holden factory. First was a blue HK Monaro GTS 327, then later an orange HQ Monaro GTS 350. Cheaper, and better for the car, than having it delivered to Townsville by train. This road was the main highway then, and had some great long straight stretches, and no speed limit! Our thanks to Nedandmrskelly.

Not a good place for a cache which isn't found for 10 month's, very dirty spot

Heute -auf dem Weg in den Süden- hat ein Teammitglied vom Team kuli01 diesen Cache gefunden und sich erfolgreich eintragen dürfen. Der Cache ist soweit o.k.
Vielen Dank für das Legen des Caches. TftC.

Watch out!
I peered down into the gloomy depths and saw the top of the cache container. Tried to use the torch on my phone to see if anyone was home but it was pretty much useless. I did see cobwebs and that should have been warning enough but i desperately wanted the smiley. I reached in, all the way to my shoulder until I could grab the container...pulled it out, and right next to my thumb...a redback spider! Im not sure who got the biggest fright! Man, the things I will do to log a find. TNLN SL TFTC

Out with RoddyC & YOF prior to QOGM 2018.
TFTC

On my way to Barcaldine for QOGM 2018 . Left Nanango at 0225 and this was the next stop of the day. Good quick find. Going to Rockhampton to meet up with RoddyC and Mrs RoddyC some time this afternoon then heading to QOGM 2018 via the coast and across to Clermont. Signed log YOF as that is what I use on small and Micro log sheets/books to save space on the paper as I tend to write on the big side. Apologies for boiler plate logs as I have a lot to write up. TFTC Nedandmrskelly

We are heading to Barcaldine to attend the event and detoured a couple of hundred kms to do this loop of caches. Varied scenery and hides made it an intersting day. We left Yaamba at 12 noon and got back at 6.30pm. It was a bit of a rush towards the end as we could see we would run out of day light. Thankyou Nedandmrskelly for placement of this cache series and adding to our enjoyment of the area

We came across your cache, Nedandmrskelly, on our way with youngoldfella, caching towards this year's QOGM in Barcaldine.

Too easy - our spotter dog (youngoldfella) drove right up to it.

Log signed and cache replaced at 8:43 AM on September 18, 2018. TFTC.

Found at last

TFTC quick stop and on the move again!

Another quick trip to Rocky
Had some time to kill on the way home ...
So decided to take the detour to the old highway
and grab a few more caches in this series along the way.
Quick stop.
All good here.
Thanks for the cache.

Heading north for a week of sailing and relaxing in the Whitsundays for our 30th anniversary. Of course we had to cache along the way.

On our way home after a fantastic week on "Lazyitis" and some wind, rain and thunderstorms.

Cheers

All o k today

Road Trip Day 3: Rockhampton to Mackay. I was not going to be able to do all caches along this road, so I mostly stopped for ones where it looked like I would not have to go through long grass (or rubbish...). Some interesting hides along here. TFTCs Nedandmrskelly.

Only six caches to Marlborough
The journey continues ...
... here was another tricky little find

None of them are truly easy,
as every one is different

Heading from Byfield towards Mackay for our next house sit, picking up a few caches on the way. Mr D made the find. Thanks Nedandmrskelly

Lots of mozzies. TFTC

Had a very enjoyable, at time geo challenging afternoon along this road find ( and sometimes DNF) caches along the way. What beautiful country this is.

Found it a nice simple one. Did a swap and signed log. All is well here tftc

This was a great country drive & as we entered the mountainance region the scenery was quiet spectacular.

Out on the road trip with the crew from Mackay. Great day finding some very interesting caches. Apologies for the repeated logs, but there were so many finds today.

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that I can claim the finds.

Easy thanks

A nice, easy find. TFTC!

TFTC Nedandmrsk going out of area now, Mr Telstra starting to snooze, so saved the rest.

An alternate road with a string of caches
Very little traffic and plenty of parking made this a pleasant alternative to the Bruce hwy.
Many of the caches where creative, most with excellent coordinates, another plus for this route.
Sorry about the copy-paste logs
Thanks for the cache

Found with Kezzabiggy TFTC...

Great to see caches that have easy parking right next to them. We didn't have our caravan with us today but even if we did have it in tow then we'd have been able to stop at most of the caches we visited in this series today. TFTC

A cache trail is all the incentive we needed to bounce along this neglected road on our way home. Would be a place where you could camp.
Left TB
Thanks Nedandmrskelly

Found this interesting series and appreciate the variety of containers and different hides. Thanks for a good caching day. TFTC.

TFTC. are we there yet

Another large cache equals happy kids! We filled up the swaps a bit for the next little ones. Kids were straight onto this one.

Gotcha !!! Found all 17 in the series today. Great to see new ones in an area that was bare. A fav point from me for each of them. Many different styles of hide. TFTC

Easy find tftc

Heading out after our walk today (We are Walking around Australia for Prostate and Breast Cancer awareness) we loaded up Bundylicious with Cachers and their gear as it was the only car not hitched to a van.

What to do on Sunday afternoon???, caching i thought! Saw a heap of new caches up the old Marlborough Sarina Hwy so after approx 460km round trip i picked up 18 including several FTF of which i have not found one for 6-8 years!!! TFTC

Took path 2243784 as second to find, thanks RVGeo

Multiple cache finds on this lovely day heading south, after 3 weeks of fun in the sun. We are heading back to the Gold Coast slowly. What a fun FTF for us we had spotted these last night and felt for sure we would miss out on the first smile. We don't chase them and always miss out on the fun experience of seeing our handle on the first line. This one was nice. Left us with a big smile. Thank you for all your work and accuracy making finding so easy. We are having so much fun on this lovely road. Thank you. Left Path for the STF. took FTF
