Farmers' Hall Upper Yarraman, Queensland, Australia
By PalsLove on 23-Aug-15. Waypoint GC625H2

Maintenance required which we completed thanks for arranging.

Good find

Also noticed the work that's been done on the downpipe.

Great spot! Really nice to see how well this hall has been looked after. Unfortunately it looks like this cache may be MIA, couldn't see anything at GZ and it looked to have had a bit of work done recently.

Took a bit of digging under the grass but found it

Found with PapaGrouch. Took a while to find, PapaGrouch had given up and so I had a go. Spotted a broken lid in the loose grass under the hall, so investigated a bit further and found the rest of the container under the grass. Replaced as found but it might stand a check, not sure if it was supposed to be at ground level and the container appeared to have been caught by a whipper snipper or something. TFTC

Found this one with SciFiRulz TFTC

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.

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
Nice quiet little community spot.

We stopped off here for a quick find. We signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks PalsLove for this one.

Found it! TFTC. SL

Quick park and grab. TFTC

Easy find. But needs some attention. The log book is breaking into pieces. Found a spot to sign then replaced as found. Find # 1157. Thanks PalsLove

Driving past on my way home from Cracow.

A nice quick find here today, very peaceful! Quite a tidy looking hall TFTC

Spending a rainy day caching in the Yarraman/Cooyar area. This one was on the way so made the stop and found the cache quickly. Tftc PalsLove

A week long holiday of driving for the 3 turmoils as we headed to Emerald for the geoart.

Not very hidden so we popped it a little more out of view.

Quite an impressive number of ants nests have been built in the front lawn here. Almost more nests than grass! Cache was found on the ground so we have replaced it where it looks like it should be. TFTC PalsLove

Found with our new geocaching friends. Quick and easy find. Left a stickeez vegetable toy.

Tftc. Found once hubby got on the ground. Beautiful view.

Ground was a bit wet so I had to grab my picnic blanket to lay on - I dont like to blindly stick my hands on things. Nice easy find - log is falling apart and is nearly full. TFTC

Hint said it all , found itgreat view from here

Despite the specific description and hint I almost missed this one... tftc...

Found with Goldielover here today. The clue is spot on, thanks.

Pink bear find. Hint is spot on

Another good find.

It's a pity that these halls which used to be the hub of a community are so underutilised now. TFTC

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

Found with Touchstone7 on a trip out west of Brisvegas. We were up visiting my father and decided that a little side trip around an area I haven't really been to could be fun.

And of course, there were caches.

Thanks for the cache and sorry for the late log. Sometimes life gets a little hectic

Return in to malaney at the end Of 3 days exploring the country areas west of our father's.

The cache was quickly located and is in good condition. The hall looks quite impressive today, offset by green grass and storm clouds, which seem to be building quickly.

Used the hint to make a quick find here.

We pulled up on the grass and the wind is so strong the grass is getting blown over. CaptainVimes made a quick find in the obvious spot. Thanks for the cache

Chasing - a coppers job is chasing! Although lately I feel like I’m being stalked by a tall bearded man. I’m going to have to check in with the Assassins Guild and see if someone else has engaged their services. At least it means I’m doing my job.

We stopped here for a breather and to take in the views, a large hare ran out from under the hall and across the road into nearby bushes, cache was well hidden but easy to spot to a geocacher, made for a nice easy park and grab before heading on to Nanango

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Jemillalucy, Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Quick find with the tough mothers today. Tftc

It was out in clear view so I have tucked it back away. Tftc

Out with lisylou and jemilucy and mnance101 for the weekend tftc

On the way home from Cooyar, we came this way after visiting the bats at The Palms.
Pulled up in front of the hall and it was a quick find with the description.
Convenient seat at the front step to sit and sign the log.
No-one around today....

Quick grab by WillPunkey and we had the cache. thanks PalsLove

Selva Girls and I were on the way home from Crows Nest and suffering from "just one more" syndrome as we passed the little green boxes on the map. We made a quick find of this "just one more", and continued on our way. Tftc PalsLove

It is the day after the Rural Safari and stortigirls and I are out collecting caches in the area. Another quick find here. TFTC

Hi there PalsLove.

We have based ourselves in Nanango for a few days & picked a cache that was some distance away and then tried the "Next Closest" route calculation method to complete our cache raid. Unfortunately that didn't quite go to plan as some of the caches on the rail trail were a little above Penny's terrain rating so we took a punt on "Beans", and that took us on quite a mystery tour. (Unfortunately we didn't get the final as it was an unsolved puzzle before we started, and those don't even make it into our GPS.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 18 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Another country hall, living these pics and someone is growing immaculate grass here, gorgeous tftc

Yep ta.

Tricked the kids this one

Quick find tftc

First find for me today on a day heading towards Yarraman. Had searched for this on a previous day out but was muggled big time. Nice quick find this time. TFTC PalsLove

Would have been some GREAT dances in this hall

Ate a pear & found a cache. They had just mowed the grass so we had a green carpet in the front of the car. Looks like the car wash is our next stop at Toowoomba. Kutgw

Heading off for a weekend adventure with 1minniemoo and nyssaflutterby. This was a nice quick find, we could see it as we walked up, so we hid it a little better when we left.

24/2/18, 11:08 am Find #1481
Pulling up at this cache, which NyssaFlutterby had done, she decided to stay in the car to continue writing her logs, while Wombles&Co and I headed over to look for the cache, hearing the nearby neighbours chatting away.
The cache was found on the ground so we signed the logbook and replaced properly.
Thanks for the cache PalsLove.

Interesting story about the hall and where it came from. Cache all nice and dry. TFTC PalsLove

Love travelling the back roads. This is a pretty little hall with its recent paint job. Great cache placement allowing a search out of view of the neighbours. Spotted a likely looking container on the ground and was grateful for the geocaching sticker alerting us that we did in fact have the right thing...replaced back on its perch. Thanks PalsLove.

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 ..

Caching my way back to the Warrego Highway on a drizzly afternoon...

Wondering how close I can park as it is now raining steadily. Scampered over to GZ, grabbed the cache and retreated under the verandah. All done

TFTC PalsLove!

Log to follow.

Out for an afternoon of car caching after a morning on bike going to Blackbutt and return

I'm visiting Yarraman for the weekend and met up with Brother Colin and teamdfl today to set up camp. Then after some lunch, we decided to take a drive out west to grab a few caches.

Yes, that is definitely a hall [^] Spot on co-ords made this a very quick find in the first spot I looked. TFTC, PalsLove.

I don't think we even bothered with the GPSr for this one. It was in the first spot we checked. [^]

95Km from home.
Our first outing in our (New to us) caravan, a sudden change of plan when Mrs R-F found out here Victorian based brother was on the coast for the weekend so instead of night one at the base of the Bunya Mountains we found ourselves spending it in Mooloolaba.
We’re now headed West to Yarraman and have unhitched “The Mystery Machine” (The Van) from ScoobieDo (Our Subaru Outback) at the Yarraman Caravan Park and are doing a bit of a run around some of the local caches.
As soon as we arrived, I reckoned I’ve done a geocache here before, not just in the same area, but the same hide. May have been a GCA cache back then. Pretty sure last time I got covered in spider webs so Mrs R-F rushed out of the car and I let her…
A quick find for here and we headed off to the next on the list.
The hide is excellent, the container is in good nick and the log is ready for the next finder.
We took nothing but memories, we left nothing but footprints and our tag.
Thanks for the cache PalsLove.
Cheers

Good cache placement [^]

Quick find while holidaying in Esk.TFTC

Drove upto the hall & the geokids kicked the footy around whilst geohubby completed logging duties. Cache in order Tnls Tftc PalsLove xo

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 has been at the Toyota Doctors.

With the Cruiser back on the road we decided to make today about testing it out to the extremes before we tow our house further North. Pleased to report all seems good.

Had a great day touring and mostly visiting Yarraman and surrounds, using Geocaching as a guide. Only 2 DNF's and 1 was definitely muggled so is that only 1 dnf [?] [:o)] lol.


TFTC PalsLove and an awesome day.

Found it with bikesu. Tftc

Happy Australia Day. On Tour with the caravan, doing walks and getting smilies. Tftc

Quick drive by. TFTC

Nice quick drive by. TFTC and taking us along this road

Found with Mum as 'Jess & Caro'. She is now Carø and I now have my own geocaching profile so we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!

Cute. Tftc

Haven't been on this road before so thanks for bringing us out here. Signed log, TFTC!

A day out was planned with Slow Puncture to find as many of Queensland's oldest caches as possible in a single day trip around the Darling Downs today.

We passed through Ravensbourne, Crows Nest, Carbalah, Meringandan, Kingsthorpe, Goombungee, Haden and Yarraman on our adventure, finding 8 oldies and a total of 26 caches during the 540 km drive .

On the way home, we stopped in here. Thankfully the place was deserted, and the hint made it a quick find.

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #2872 for us. Thanks **PalsLove** for showing us this spot. Discover our code TGQNRV, and mention where you saw it.

Thursday. It was an early start for both Orange Crew and Slow Puncture as were out today to collect some of the Oldest and Finest as well as other caches that came along our way.

A quick find on this one which was a blessing as our time was running out for the day with trying to find all the caches we wanted to collect on our list. Lovely spot here and we added our names to the log for a smiley.

This was the 23rd of 26 caches found on today's trip.

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

Floating around the area while we wait for the event in Toowoomba on 15th October. Have had scratchy internet since we arrived on 10th October, so late in logging. Have been around this area previously and found some of the caches. Now, catching up on the missed ones.

Arrived, and sat in the shade while geo hub spoke to muggle son, (we had been out of phone range for a couple of days) before we found the hide.

Thanks PalsLove

We decided to have a Sunday drive seeking caches, so we mapped out a bit of a trail that would take us from Kingaroy through to Brooklands, Maidenwell, and Yarraman before heading back up the highway to Kingaroy. This was number 9 on our list, and the front of the hall seemed like the perfect spot to stop for a well-earned coffee break. Then it was back to business, and time to locate the cache. It was an easy enough find, thanks to the great clue. What did surprise us was that the inside of the container was quite wet, and the log was soggy. Given the well-elevated hiding spot, it's difficult to imagine how water got into the container. We dried it out as best we could, but it could probably still use a bit of maintenance. Thanks PalsLove for adding to our most enjoyable Sunday Drive. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

TFTC! Sneaky

another day of our touring through QLD. Thanks to all the CO's for the caches that break the monotony of travelling, and adding to our list of smileys. Log is very wet and mouldy, needs replacing

Having come to Crows Nest for the Rural Challenge Event and staying overnight, we planned on caching today from Crows Nest to Yarraman and then as time allowed a few on the way home to Brisbane. Today was in the company of Nadine1989.

Love these old country halls - there seems to be a multitude of them in the South Burnett region right down to Toowoomba. The cache was damp inside - large sweat drops have formed. Likewise inside the zip-lock bag, making the log book quite damp - but still signable.

Found at 12.05pm on 29th May 2016. TFTC.

RoddyC and me started on this morning very early to find some caches on our way. Most of them there traditional ones and not very complicated. The two special ones, one multi and one mystery were great! I enjoyed the tour, the landscape and the caches.

Love Te name of hall and so green all around the hall! Quick find TFTC

Bet this old hall has seen some excitement in its life. Nice quick find. TFTC

Having a mother/daughter holiday. On our way to Nanango with a slight detour to cross best. Wet log. TFTC

Our 2nd day at Nanango. Today we headed to Yarraman as so many new caches since we were here last. We found lots of interesting locations & caches.
Thanks for placing this cache PalsLove

Quick stop off and on my knees scramble along the grassy area, located the cache on the ground about a meter away with a wet logbook . Managed to make my mark on a page
Signed logbook 22/03/2016 3:05 pm and replaced the container where indicated in the hint.
PalsLove - TFTC.

Found at 1158. Found while on a geocaching expedition in my favourite region for a couple of day. Found ok but it wasn't where the hint suggested it would be so I replace it where I thought the hint was indicating. TFTC.

Jelly the Wonderdog and myself were now on the return leg of our roadtrip. Picking up a random smilie that crossed our paths. Not sure if I made the best stealth mission to GZ driving around most of the Hall to get closest, but we managed to be out of view of any neighbours. With Spangle still pumping out that delicious air conditioning, I left Jelly to go forth and make a smilie. It didn't take much time until I had the beasty in hand. I left a mark and replaced the cache as found.

Thanks for the cache PalsLove

After visiting the Bunya Mountains for few days over New Years with other caching friends we headed home and found this cache along the way.
We loved the area around here, the caches gave us an excuse to get off the main highway.
