Nanango's Circuit: 5 Nanango, Queensland, Australia
By Purple_Ninja_00 on 18-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5RPCD

I don't know how I missed this one last time. Easy find. Needs some TLC lid is broken. TFTC.

After a lovely dinner at the blackbutt pub last night and a peaceful nights sleep it was an early morning start today to score a few caches before work begins.My target to day is to get to 100 caches in the south Burnett LGA to get one step closer to a challenge cache Im focusing on in Brisbane.Upon arriving at ground zero I found a safe place to park the geowagon and made my way to ground zero. It didnt take long until I had located ground zero and I soon had the log out and was making my mark for prosperity. Safely returning the cache to its hiding place I was soon back in the van and off to the next adventure.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.Cheers

Outer container damaged. Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC

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 started this circuit years ago… and today the rest was a good test for my ankle…

A nice quick find of what is left of the original container…

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. TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

Out with Bris, & the M& her Cubs, our intent is to wrestle a for the September Challenge. After checked what was available to us (more so me) we made plans and today we all started once again at sparrows to commence a long day racing about like crazy cachers.


We’re all here to start a 6 cache frenzy on this series. The ground is a little wet under foot and most containers have seen better days. In fact anyone planning ahead & coming here, could help the longevity of these ones by replacing the containers. … JUST A THOUGHT!!!

Although there was still plenty of caching to be done in Kilkivan it was time to move on as we work our way home. Today it was to Nanango, not long drive but quite interesting through the rolling hills. We cached on the way again but were more restricted on the busier road with a van in tow. We bypassed a number we were not comfortable pulling up for.
On arrival at Nanango we set up camp and then after lunch at a bakery in town took the bikes of the back and rode the bike loop caching as we went. A great way to see some of the town on cooler day.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Purple_Ninja_00.

We had planned a road trip to Queensland to visit family in 2021, but our travel plans were stalled due to border closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the world was trying to get back to a semi normal state, we decided to have another go at getting away from the cold and head up north for some sunshine and warmth.

Day 12 - Staying in Nanango for a few days to catch up with family and while the car windscreen was being replaced, we headed out with the muggle sister to find a few caches in the area and pick up some hot drinks from a local café.

The recovering half of the team decided to take this walk on while the other half went with her sister to the other end to meet her there.

All caches were found in good condition unless otherwise mentioned.
Thanks to all the CO’s for the placements and keeping this hobby alive.

Found - aged broken and wet

Box has lost its lid. Log is a bit wet. Didn't bring our bag of goodies to replace container. TFTC

Continuing along the path this was the next cache I found. I put a new log and bag in signed and replaced as found. All good with this one now on to the next. Thanks Purple_Ninja_00 for the lovely walk.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Still walking with Aussiemates. This cache was broken and needs some maintenance. TFTC

Nanango Blitz Weekend with Stealth Seeker.
No. 5 - Cache is where it should but container is broken - and has been since 2018 looking back on previous logs.
Requires some TLC

Needs maintenance when next in town CO. Log book dry though

Up for the weekend to do a bit of cycling. Happy to Cycle a few caches in a circuit along here.

Caches completed by Mr EMC and Chikinlittle who found Nanango Circuit 6-2 - adding 5 to our cache total of the day. TFTC.

Tftc, lovely morning for a walk before it warms up.
Lots of birds singing.

Miss Kim’s snap lock is keeping broken cache dry. Cache needs repair asap

Found both the container & bag containing log had disintegrated. Looking in my backpack I was all out. So emptied my first aid kit bag into my backpack and used that ziplock. Hopefully enough to keep the log safe. As its raining already
Also found some critters (termites) guarding the log TFTC

Got it, boy these certainly need some looking after.

Container disintegrated Log is dry TFTC

Nice easy find cache needs maintenance TFTC

Mrs Wombles and I were caching in the area today, and decided to complete this trail while we both had the option of some company for the walk. It was a pleasant walk along the track; all caches were found although disappointingly only 2 had the clues we needed in them and several were quite damaged. We completed the series and fortunately we were able to PAF at the end (thankuou) to get the numbers for the final. All in all a nice walk but the caches need maintenance if the circuit is to stay in play. Thanks for the stroll Purple_Ninja_00

Stortigirls and I decided to do this trail of caches, we'd both seen it on the map before but hadn't done the walk.
We wandered along and found all 6 of the caches, saw a white wallaby or Kangaroo and a flock of apostle birds.
It's a shame the clues are missing from some of the caches and some of the containers need replacing as this is a nice walk along the track. We passed a couple of other people out walking.

Log is damp but okay to sign. Container broken.

Heading up to Kilkivan to attend the annual event, which we've become quite find of over the last few years.

Instead of taking the boring highway route, we're heading out through Nanango and stopping here and there to make some finds along the way of ones we've missed previously or that have been published since our last visit.

On our way home slowly after the QOGM event in Blackall and finding some great geocaches along the way.

If the container is small we may sign as CG.

Container is damaged and needs replacing.

Lots of thanks to Purple_Ninja_00 for placing the cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Easy walk to this one cache needs a new lid TFTC

A few caches on my way up to the QOGM 2019 event at Blackall....
A quick find. Cache container in poor condition.

A quick find but unfortunately not maintained. Lid has completely broken.

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 PN00!

Got this one too. TFTC

Thanks for the walk on the wild side.

Heading up to Kilkivan Geocaching event stop on the way to find some caches TFTC D5

Lid broken log still dry

All wet!!!

The boys and i are doing some caching on the last day of school holidays. We chose purple ninja’s trail unfortunately this one had a broken lid too. i left it upside down and outside the ziplock bag so hopefully it will drain

Lid was broken but log book dry for this cache.remembered to get clue. Tftc

A nice sunny winters day for a country walk with geowife Dora the Explorer. Thanks for the cache

Quick and easy find

Got TFTC

Crew 153 and I had big plans to try and get 100 caches in a day today.

However, Crew 153's Ford Falcon had other ideas and brought us to a screeching halt at cache number 50 by blowing its fuel pump.

We were both calm and collected about it. We still got 50 caches. Car got safely towed to Kilcoy. Mr Slow Puncture came and rescued us.. and there are still more than enough caches out there for us to try again. There ends my "cut and paste" part of the log

Onto this one next. I soon found the cache in a likely area. Unfortunately, the cache had a cracked lid... but the log was dry. The cache owner might want to check this one. I re-hid it as found and moved on. TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

Fangsoki and I had picked this area for a day of caching to find caches for the Hidden Creatures Souvenirs and after an early start I finally finished the day with a total of 53 finds when we struck engine trouble and had to abort the mission.

This cache was find number 24 for the day.

The caches were ideally spaced along the walk so that we didn't waste much time between finds. We remembered to note the clue. The lid was cracked.

TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

Doing the series in reverse order, good sized cache with a little moisture inside. Lid is cracked, so this may be why. Tnln sl tftc PN00 xo

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

Container lid broken. Water laden but log is dry.

Pleasantly surprised at the number of caches here at Nanango. Thanks

Two more to go and we’ll have what we need to make the final. We love it when a good plan comes together. Just as well we are coming to the end as we are sweating out buckets of sweat in this heat and we're starting to dream of being a camel. A hump on our backs would sure come in handy right about now, we would even take those urinating bugs giving us the golden shower to cool us down, but they are nowhere to be seen.

Clue 5 done and dusted. A bit like the trivia of Nanango we dusted up on before jumping on our bikes. I can’t believe it took 23 horses to lug this thing…

TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

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 ..

Continued walking down the path collecting the clues. Will need to come back as the young son wasn't feeling the best so rather than push on, we turned back. It just gives us another excuse to come backup Nanango.

Rory found it

Another one located and another number recorded.

It was a beautiful morning for a stroll
Typical winter weather,
sunny and warm

Another quick find along this trail. 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.

Deciding that this circuit should be done in the morning, we organised cars to avoid doubling back and set off on this great track, (yes, when will it be made into a road). Quick and easy find avoding Muggles.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 9.20am on 26th March 2017. TFTC, Purple_Ninja_00

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 Purple_Ninja_00 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.

Staying longer than initially planned in Nanago as the GeoCruiser is at the Toyota Doctors.

Today we headed out on the GeoBikes to explore the area. Managed to find a good number of quality caches both GC and GCA. Thanks for highlighting so many great spots in your Town.

Decided a cool early morning walk was the way to go to grab this series. Set off nice and early and got to enjoy lots of bird life Thanks for showing us this lovely little walk and all the caches

Continued on to No. 5 and wandered over to the obvious place and hey presto, there it was. TFTC Purple_Ninja_00

On a cache run from Toowoomba to Nanango with Eskies5 as I head towards a targeted milestone. After finding the first one in this series and leaving the rest after being muggled out we went about finding the remainder in this series from the other end. All caches in this series were found easily. TFTC and walk Purple Ninja 00

Back to the series...this time entering from the other end. All good along the trail. Thanks Purple Ninja.

Well this one just had to be there didn't it? Thanks.

We arrived at Nanango in sufficient time to set up the caravan before attending the CITO.
Afterwards we wandered around town finding a few that are new or not found previously.
I dropped Bill off at Number 1 while I drove around to meet him at the other side.
Thanks for placing this cache Purple_Ninja_00

After attending the CITO event nearby Sweet-Sour and I decided that we should attempt the Nanango Circuit.

This one being the next in the series.

When at GZ the cache was found soon after, the clue obtained and the log signed.

The log was returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.

I was accompanied by DiMorgan for the remaining caches in this series.

All is good with this cache.

Find #466.
