Thank you Beautiful view

We did stop to have lunch on our scenic route home from Mundubbera. T4T$

I love squeezing every last second out of public holidays which usually combine with RDO's at work. So, with a 4 day long weekend in the offing, a few weeks ago I reviewed my adventure wish list and decided that a solo hike of Carnarvon Gorge and specifically Battleship Spur would fit the bill.Viko Cz subsequently messaged me to say he was back in Australia for business for a few weeks and had some weekends free for a geocaching adventure, and was also keen to visit Carnarvon.On Anzac Day, we travelled from Roma to Carnarvon and hiked out to Big Bend, visiting as many of the side attractions as we had time for including Boolimba Bluff. Yesterday, we climbed Battleship Spur in the morning and then spent a lazy afternoon enjoying the gorge at Big Bend. We got an early start this morning and refreshed with a good nights sleep, some breakfast and lighter packs, we made very good time back down the gorge stopping at the Moss Garden along the way. After visiting Mickey's creek Gorge, we finally hit the road, stopping at the Rolleston pub for lunch.We are aiming for a night at the Cracow pub, so that leaves the opportunity for a few caches around Moura and Theodore. This one was a little off the beaten track, especially approaching from the north. We arrived here just as the sun was setting and enjoyed the magnificent view. There has been a lot of rain here , so the grass at GZ was waist high. Viko Cz waded through it to GZ and made the quick find. After a good break to stretch the legs, we hit the road into Theodore and then on to Cracow. TFTC Rock Dok.Pete#7,875

#5728 [17:14] our extended weekend with crookedpete is ending, the main mission "exploring carnarvon gorge" is over and now we're heading back to brisbane via a bit of side road to enjoy more of local country side and more caches and this was one of them. thanks a lot of placing it here, it's always good to have some reason to stretch legs during long drive.

Nice spot

Our family are relocating from Rural Queensland to Canberra. And aiming to do 100 caches in our travels.Thank-you for the cache, I enjoyed taking the off the beaten track for a bit. Left a painted rock as trinket .:' __ :'__ .'`__`-'__``. :__________.-' :_________: :_________`-; `.__.-.__.'

Today's geocaching adventure brought me to a poignant location a lookout.The cache container,, was still intact. It served as a symbol of the indomitable spirit of geocaching. Careful search and determination led me to its discovery. Inside, I found the logbook.I'd like to express my gratitude to the cache owner for placing this cache in a location that serves as a reminder of the strength of both nature and the geocaching community.Until the next adventure,

Found it beautiful view

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. [:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Rock Dok [^]

What a fantastic view from here................

I was traveling to Emerald, but detoured to find a few caches. This cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

Thanks for this one. There is a bit of fog or smoke haze here today, but the scenery is good. Off we go again.

Took the time to drive up the dirt track to the top of the hill. Only a small amount of water over the creek crossing, so wasn't too risky! A few rough spots along the road, but generally in very good condition.
Such a lovely view on this warm sunny day.
Thanks for taking us there.

Travelling from Bogabilla to Gladstone as part of our 'north for warmer weather' trip (North East Vic to Central Qld).
Thanks to all COs who have provided caches along the way.

Driving from Miles to Charters Towers Mr CNQ took a diversion to this cache. The Southern end of this road is a little wild after rain, but got there and out the other end towards Moura ok. Cache was fine, view was overcast and showery. Thanks for the cache Rock Dok.

Decently easy to find just had to walk through a bit of long grass.

We are on the way North to escape the winter chill.

I love to see activities and the big trucks and machinery.

The dirt road was partly very bumpy.

I am travelling North with TBU1Bikesu.

We are stopping for sightseeing and smilies.

I ummed and arghed about this one and decided to go for it. A great view and nice hide to boot.

idiotLairds found it!

Nice spot, great view!

Found this one solo, without the usual other idiotLairds!

No 'path' to the cache that I could see - if there is one, its over grown now!

Also No pen/pencil in the cache any more either - and because I'm flying solo and carrying the pen is usually Mels job (my excuse and I'm sticking to it ), I couldn't sign the physical log!!

Never mind, will just have to come back at some stage!!

TFTC!!

Found it lovely location without the cache we wouldn’t of found the lookout

Great view , left a couple of trinkets . TFTC

Great views. TFTC.

While having a break in Theodore we had a look to see what caches were around and this one caught our interest. Lovely view from here.
The cache lid was cracked so we replaced it as we had an identical container in the car. All good again.

Thanks for the cache and showing us this spot Rok_Dok.

Prickly Path

I found it

Found 18/7/21

Tftc Thankyou for bringing me here! Great view!

Grey nomads, after spending way too much time in Far North Queensland, now we spent the night in Rolleston. No caches in Rolleston, so on we went this morning. Moura was going to be our stopover, but the PUMA was close, and had been for a while..... so we had to detoure via Banana to get to Theodore. dropped off the caravan, and took a bumpy drive to this fantastic lookout.

The cache was an easy find just - follow the brush cuttered trail!!!

Thanks Rock Dok. Fav point for the view

Setting off for Springsure this morning and grabbed this one before we left the Sports and Rec. Had some nice drizzle last night. Its good to see it, as the ground needs a little more.

Staying at the Showgrounds in Theodore, this cache was a short drive down a dirt road to a wonderful view. The rice fields here are so green. The cache was found easily.

Some spiky plants on the path into there, but great hide! Been up here plenty of times and never noticed it. Thanks for the cache!

Found it with pippahicup

Great cache. Thanks for arranging and interesting placement. Our thanks to Rock_Dok for placing this cache and enhancing our enjoyment of the area.

Great views, thanks for the find

Easy find in a great hide, fantastic views of the Dawson farming area TFTC

It took a while. Not in an obvious place like the blue broken bin
Leave no rock unturned
Left a bandaid and some gum

Thought it was in the blue. Bin. Not. But close..
Logged our names and left a little gift for the next finder. Good luck.
Hint :
Leave no stone unturned.

Stopped off while on way to exploration rig and found it. TFTC. Great view as well

Wow. What a great spot. We never would have known about it without geocaching.
Picked up the TB. Left a dinosaur sticker.

Great view of the farm lands of Theodore.

Tftc good views

Got to be one of the best lookouts i have been to in a while - very few trees blocking the view , level parking spaces , a picnic table to do the signing of the logbook and the cache container is large enough to leave some swag . 2 X TB’s Visited. Signed logbook kingfisherau 1:45 pm 7/5/19 and replaced all as found,
Rock_Dok - TFTC. So I’ll leave a fav point for all that !

Our first cache for the day after leaving Taroom on our way to Emerald. A pleasant drive up to the lookout and an easy find. TFTC Rock_Dok

Great view! Especially during cotton picking time. ️

TFTC nice spot

Lovely view.

Easy to find. A bit smoky so the view wasn't clear but it is a good vantage point. TFTC

The Doble Family - Our first find 18/8/17 great fun to find & glad we packed lunch! Beautiful picnic stop

We are staying at the recreation grounds and drove out to find this cache on a showery day. After a short distance along the dirt track we came across a wet black soil slope and decided it was not worth getting the ute filthy, so retreated and left it for another day if we come back here. What a pity, it would have been nice to check out the lookout.

Great view thanks for leading us up here. Tftc

Nice and easy offroad track with a stunning view Tftc!

What an interesting little rest area in the middle of nowhere! Thanks for showing us somewhere we never would have discovered without geocaching! Found about ten in the am.

Great views from up here after a lovely drive along the dirt track. We replaced the old broken sistema with a brand new one. Thanks Rok_Dok for placing this cache - Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

Glad I took the detour!

After a lovely little drive along a quiet country road....found it!! A very nice view of the Dawson valley. Thanks

Nice Views TFTC

Staying at the showgrounds, and saw that this was close.
Great lookout, thanks for bringing us here.

Great view. Easy find

If only we were a couple inches taller it would have smacked us in the face.

Found Ok

TFTC 2285# heading home after being at Sapphire picked up a few caches in Moura out and about with muggle sister and miss millie geo dog what a great view

youngoldfella and I are on our way to Barcaldine for a maintenance and planning run. This is Day 1. We took a scenic route! Great views from GZ, Nice quick and easy find gave a little time to admire the views. Then YOF took the YOU-Mobile further along the road, and we ended up doing a huge loop! But that was fun!

I have attached three photos to encourage you to visit this site.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 12.45pm on 24th March 2017. TFTC, Rock_Dok.

Found it. What a view!

Easy find with a view, some very prickly vines growing nearby worth staying clear of. Thanks.

Great view! Easy find with the Geoboyfriend

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 10:50am. Easy drive in. Great views.TFTC

Found on tour of the area. Geohusband helped me out with the find due to my vertically challenged body. TFTC

GPS decided to take us on a long way round on 20 km of dirt road starting at River Road just outside Moura and lead us to Burnside McLaren Road back onto Moura Theodore Road until we turned onto the lookout road.
Finally arrived at GZ and only took a few minutes to find the container and sign the log.
Geopartner took some photos of the countryside.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Rock Dok All good with this cache

Today I drove 487k's in 8hours finding 27 caches between Moura and Eidsvold. total journey took 6 days and 15 hours and a total cache finds of 185.

Found all the Moura ones yesterday and today this was my second find for the day on the road to Theodore. Quick find and all good with this one. Very good views from up here. I am glad the weather was fine as the GPSr took me along this black soil track. TFTC Rock Dok
