Petrie Troll West Woombye, Queensland, Australia
By WoombyeCats on 24-Jul-15. Waypoint GC604EJ

cache archived it went missing a couple of months ago and knowing we were soon moving, have decided not to replace it. Good location if anyone wants to create a new cache.

cache went missing a couple of months ago. We we are moving out of area soon and have decided not to replace.

Petrie Troll is temporarily disabled. Missing in action.

Have we shouldn’t have focused so much on the bridge?

nearly fell in the creek but good time nine the less

Bit of a steep embankment, almost ended up in the drink but still fun

Found last year when I was I was coming back from visiting my daughters who live in Woombye.

Thanks WoombyeCats

TFTC. Bag not keeping it dry any more.

Sneaky little one, was a fun find.

Great spot

Sunday. Both Slow Punctures were on the cache hunt in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland today. Mr SP made the find on this cache which was found in its tight location, whilst I had a look at the surrounding area and had a read of the commemorative sign about the local pioneer farmer and how the bridge was made.

This was the 5th of 11 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***woombyecats***, for showing us this place.

Thanks

Yeehaa

Woohoo!

Good hiding spot!

Beautiful little spot, good hiding place!

This Day in Music
1976, Stevie Wonder released his eighteenth studio album Songs in the Key of Life, an ambitious double LP with a four-song bonus EP. It debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Chart on October 8, 1976, becoming only the third album in history to achieve that feat and the first by an American artist.

Great spot first find!

Another nice stop along this road. Thanks for placing the cache here.

Tftc Caution -A bit slippery when wet. A nice cache location.

seems the cache has gone missing again.... poor confused Troll had nowhere to live.... a new home placed for him today.

We searched all the likely nooks and crannies and couldn’t find it. Maybe the troll has taken it?

Trying to pick up a few caches today and this was one of the successes. Nice find and although I did not read it until after I had found the cache, a clever clue. TFTC WoombyeCats

Another easy find! Second one down and millions more to go it was a blast as usual

Relatively easy to find but loved the clues!

We could see the container half way out of its hiding place on approach. Have pushed it in so that it is not visible at first glance. TFTC

This was the second of three caches loaded for me in this vicinity today. This one was pretty much a park-n-grab. So thankful that it wasn't any further down the steep slope. A piece of paper came out of the container when I was signing the log and fluttered down the embankment a bit. Being the perfectionist that I am, I could have let it go but did not want to contribute in any way to the rubbish problem along the streambeds, so I crabwalked on all fours upside-down, down the embankment to retrieve the paper and put it back. Thanks for the hide woombeyecats.

cache replaced and ready to go

The trolls must be playing tricks on me today. TFTH woombyecats.

TFTC quick easy find TNLNSL

Quick find thanks. Tnlnsl

A weekend engagement coming up in Nambour, and we have the afternoon free. Yea! Fourteen caches visited this afternoon!

Missed the side road here first time, so doubled back. Glad we didn't have to "double back" to find this cache though - it would have been rather steep to get to the under bridge part if we had to!

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 3.35pm on 27th August 2016. TFTC

What a lovely little spot by the creek. Have enjoyed our day out in and around Woombye and Palmwoods with the family. Thanks so much for the cache.

Nice and easy no trolls here today tftc

Great spot TFTC

Visiting some friends and found this beauty. TFTC

Find #581

Looking for any sort of distraction today, I decided to head out of the house to add some smiley faces to my map. Knowing there was a few that weren't too far away I chucked on my shoes and headed out.

I quickly pulled up to this spot and followed my gps on my phone but quickly stopped. As I was standing and pondering where this cache could be I was teetering on the edge and thinking this is a very steep slope-- surely the cache wouldn't be down there!! So I decided to sit and enjoy the ambience while checking the description. As I nearly lost my phone into the abyss (lucky for ninja like reflexes) I found what I was looking for!!

(you seem to be making me have a lot of "d'oh" moments woombyecats!)

Thanks for the quick find today.

9th for the day. ..Gorgeous little park. No platypii today. TFTC

Needed to get out caching today. Found with junior miss geo. TFTC

Our first find was fun. Might want to put higher the bridge goes under in floods

Nice easy find but would be careful doing it on rainy days (like today) when it's slippery lol. Can't imagine any platypus' being in that creek in the condition it was in, cute little park if it was maintained though.

Quick fun find! Wouldn't recommend doing on a rainy day. Left some small treasures

Had to keep the geokid away from the steep slope. Found with bunyanut and dragonet.

Found watch the steep edge

Caution needed with this cache

Fairly easy to find, I'm assuming it wasn't placed back correctly, its been hidden a little better now

Cool

Thanks for the cache

Thanks for one of the best caches I've ever seen!

little visit, dropped off cute baby boo tb

Nice quick find for Christmas Day. TFTC TNLNSL ☺ ☺ ☺

#1204 @ 12:22 pm ~ Out nearby doing a job and couldn't drive past without making a find. All good here. ~ TFTC WoombyeCats

Having dropped Sweet of at the Nambour Hospital for some tests, I had some 6 hours to kill, do some caching.
Had to have a couple of looks, just didn't look hard enough the first time.
All with the cache
TFTC woombyecats

cache back in place! Happy hunting!

We thought we had this one... We found turtles, skinks and eels... A HUGE real live spider but no trolls and no cache. Time was running short so we reluctantly left this one behind... this time...

Anything with the word "troll" in it makes me shudder and I always send Marco to look for these ones. He was pleasantly surprised with how quickly and easily he found this one. TNLNSL TFTC

Little visit

Drove down from 'On a Clear Day' for this one, parked close to GZ and after a couple of minutes we had the cache in hand. Cache in good condition and returned to its hiding place. TFTC woombyecats

Found out and about with us3scouts. TFTC woombyecats.

Well, well, well, I used to live just up the road many years ago. I didn't know about the park that is here now. Seirra1 and I came to find a troll and we weren't disappointed. After parking the geomobile we walked to the most obvious spot but the GPS was bouncing a fair bit. Seirra1 had a feeling about where to look and after looking there first we were rewarded with our prize. Thanks woombyecats
for bringing me back here to reminisce and for placing the cache.

Out with holster and thehairbear on the range today and we decided to take a short detour on our way home. After parking nearby it was a short walk to GZ and the cache was soon in hand.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

TFTC woombyecats

Found with Konie and thehairbear on our way home.

Nice spot.

Found it with holster and Konie.

Quick and easy. TFTC Woombyecat

After the CITO Event today, we headed off to grab another couple of caches on the way home.
Geopartner missed the turnoff and we turned around and came back.
Arrived at GZ and after a small search, geopartner had the cache in hand.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks woombyecat All good with this cache

Ohhh eggy.... i pocess the navigational skills of an egg! !! I should not be let out alone with a gps, car or a FTF hunt!! One would think it's the first time I've been to woombye!! Not to worry arrived at GZ eventually and had the cache in hand easily enough.... nearly dropped it tho! !!! Luckily there weren't any trolls about today

I was going to Nambour this morning to do another cache so the detour over here was warranted. I saw the first to find had been logged by Spiderwebs so there was no chance of the FTF .
I travel Blackall Range rd a fair bit but have never been on this turn off so I was surprised to see a small park with a wood BBQ - Now with a bonus cache.
A short search and the cache was located .
Signed logsheet 10:30 am and replaced all as found.
1 x TB Visit.

**FTF**
Noticed this newbie this morning as well as a new one of ours published at Rainbow Beach only placed yesterday - less than 12 hours publishing time - wow! Well done reviewers.
Thought I had a good chance at FTF as it only came up this morning and I was close by, so after dropping the kids to the school bus in Palmwoods, I popped out for this little detour.
Very quiet in the park and along this road this morning, but it is a bit muddy for sure!
Headed to the likely spot for a troll to live and located the cache fairly quickly. Needed a "tool" to assist in retrieval though.
Nice clean cache with blank log and nice FTF note from the CO. Took the note and little token and left a spider.
We are not quick enough for most FTFs so it's always very special to get one! Yay!!! [:8D]
