Turnoff Yarraman, Queensland, Australia
By PalsLove on 23-Aug-15. Waypoint GC625JF

Quite big

Ah yes, I love a large container. I can usually find them. Sadly though, your outer container has become brittle and is letting water in. The inside container is in better shape, but the logbook needs to be dried out.

Good find

On the way to Nanango for an event. This took some finding but persistence paid off. TFTC

I was out today caching with Muggle65 and GreenGecko1. I had only had two caches on the list today. After the event we headed to this cache. PalsLove thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.

Out today finding some Large sizes to fill in some gaps in my stats. Cache in good condition.

After an event in Cherbourg this morning, we joined forces with GreenGecko1, Muggle65 and Brislions to wander our way back home, picking up target caches along the way. Some we sought because of their type, some because of their D/T, some their size and some because they sounded interesting. Thanks for placing this one PalsLove

Out with Muggle65, Brislions and DisSister for some caching fun today. Thank you for the fun

Bit of a tough one to find even with the size as it was so wet and overgrown. Was determined to not be the first person to log as DNF. Also wasn't in the fork of the tree as expected but soggy and scratched, we finally located it. Stamped and placed back where a previous photo showed it should be. There was also a good litre or so of water to the extra container was great keeping everything dry. Definitely needs a new lid for the bucket.But any finds a good find. TFTC!!!!!

Nice little side street.Beautiful day for a drive back to the bunyas.TFTC

Another easy find, good sized cache too.TFTC

It’s happening, it’s finally happening! Alyce and I are going places and grabbing caches while on our way to QOGM.

Our day started early in Caboolture South and with the car packed and a list of caches dialled in we were on our way. We made our way along the Dag’ Highway to Blackbutt and Yarraman then down the New England Highway grabbing a few caches in the vicinity than arriving at the Warrego and taking that all the way to Morven while stopping at several places in between. Unfortunately we had to leave it at that due to fading light and made our way to Augathella for the night.

What an adventure! The places you visit and the experiences you have is something else.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Passing through town today so we stopped to find your cache. Parked on the corner and wandered over to find a lovely big cache.
All good and dry here.

Easy find. Biggest yet for us. 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. TFTC PalsLove
Find #10882

Found easily, it’s so big! Issues here and the CO isn’t active - container lid is knackered and it’s half full of water. Drained everything and dried the salvageable swag and put in a new 2l sistema inside the bucket.

Tossed up whether to store original bucket upside down or on its side to keep the water draining away - maybe the next finder can try this.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Log signed in first open spot with stamp

Find # 8517

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

Easy to spot in its hiding place. Lots of water inside. The log book had been wrapped in a shopping bag so it was only a little damp. Signed the log and re-wrapped it in the bag. Tipped all the water out and dried off the swag. Replaced everything back in the bucket and returned it to its hiding place.
Thanks for the cache Pals Love.

Tftc PalsLove, no trouble spotting this big boy
Water inside, just able to make our mark

On our drive to Dalby today we stopped here and found the big cache in the long grass. All good with this one log signed and replaced as found. Thanks PalsLove for this one.

We haven't been in this area for years. Grazing a few caches on route from Toowoomba to Gympie. TFTC

Found it grass is very long right now had to adventure throw it there where lots of little goods in it

Easy find today
Tftc

Loving the large containers here! So nice after a few micros…. TFTC

Spending a rainy day chasing old caches, large caches and certain attributes in the Cooyar/Yarraman area. This one certainly met the criteria, pulled up alongside and quickly located the cache. I tipped out the water that had accumulated in the bottom and added our name to the log. Tftc PalsLove

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

Getting a rare large cache is apparently something to get excited about - according to my good friend Chamad. So we stopped for this one and persevered through the long grass to get the booty.

It's been far too many months since The Bromance last went on a weekend geocaching road trip so plans were made a couple of weeks ago for a journey north towards Kingaroy and the surrounding area. Unfortunately Crookedpete was unable to make it due to family commitments so it was a Bromance Lite+ trip of JezNDez, Swellerfungus and Seffnjarah.

Initially we planned on visiting the cache at the Yarraman Heritage Centre first but we were still a little ahead of the opening time so drove on to find this one to occupy the time. Although I was the backseat passenger, I was delegated the navigational duties for this cache but was too busy talking at the vital time and failed to indicate the required turnoff. At least I couldn't stuff up the finding of this cache, being big enough even for me to find. Signed the logbook with The Bromance team stamp (although there may be a slight glitch with the date shown on the stamp). TFTC

An appropriate name for this cache as our chief navigator did not advise us to turnoff, we circled around and made the find

Found at 10:30 AM GAFF1.
On our way to Caboolture after staying a few days in Cooyar where there was an ablsolutely lovely free camp ground.
This stop was very convenient as there was a very good wide turning area for our van to get back onto the road again - and as is very common, there was a massive semi behind us which meant that we could not really stop on the NE Hwy [xx(]
A nice sized container that is quite rare these days.
Thanks PalsLove

Certainly big.

Found with a few friends on a big mega caching trip and signed as Capital Crunchers.


TFTC

Another good sized container - woohoo ️
Found with mates on our Dayboro Mega trip - heading home now. Cache signed as Capital Crunchers.

Thanks for hiding this cache PalsLove

Put in a set of ice cream shaped erasers.
Water in cache container unfortunately.
Need tlc.
Took a SpongeBob SquarePants figure.

Accio 11:34:00
After a morning spent collecting puzzles and views further south, OBC and I headed north with a specific old mountain in mind, and a few large caches along the way. Like this one that was nicely placed and easily signed.

Thanks PalsLove for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #8889}*

Heading out on a LONG drive today.
From north Brisbane, to Esk, to Lake Cressbrook, Crows Nest, Haden, Cooyah, Yarramann, Nanango, Murgon and Boat Mountain, And return!!! No rest for the wicked. 500 kms+ in a day, with good weather, good company and good caches. Bliss!

I was looking for a couple of caches - larges ones, popular ones, old ones, high ones.
This was one of those caches! Thanks for contributing to an awesome day out caching. Home now, exhausted but happy.

Very cool find.

Bit wet inside. Log is dry.

Bit wet, but log was ok. Dried out and added another plastic bag or two

Tftc. Nice drive collecting caches.

Easy parking, good location, nice park & grab. TFTC

**Found 12/12/2020 at 2:41:16 PM Smiley #934 **

Christmas Trip 2020 was a blast! 2 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs towing a camper trailer visiting lots of places in the Queensland Outback. Started Cooroy, staying in Dalby, Nindigully Pub, Charlotte Plains Station, Charleville, Roma, Emerald, Rockhampton and then Yandaran for Christmas before heading home. 4600 kilometers in two and a half weeks with lots of caches in between (well as many as I was allowed to).

All caches were found with ease and in good condition unless stated otherwise, thank you to all the cache owners for placing these caches, especially the ones in remote areas that were great to stop, stretch the legs, and get another smiley.

The bucket is starting to disintegrate though, might need a new bucket. Was great to grab a large cache!

Thanks for the cache **PalsLove**

Out today on a mission to grab a few targeted caches while on a trip to a community event, seems not only Santa has a list, love the list. This was not on the list and you just gotta stop for a large cache and it was a simple grab for us today. The big ones need some loving too, so a favourite point for me. It’s hard to find large caches and to place them, so well done It was then back on the road and follow the list. Hmm lost count as to what number this one was today now lol.

With the log signed and cache replaced it was off to the next one on the list, or add a couple to the list. All good with this one, dropped a TB in the cache, thanks for placing it here.

Great needed a large tftc

Got it thanks

This is a large cache.found it full of water .cleaned it up

Pink Bear find. It was big

TFTC
Nice find.

TFTC

Thanks

Thanks for the cache

Found with Dora the Explorer! Whilst out this way.

Quick find here today, one very soggy log book and other log book is ok.

I agree with the hatchet man, it is big, but not easy to get to. Perhaps if I hadn't tried to follow along the fence for about 20 metres?
Eventually found only a few metres from the roadway through 2 metre high grass, and signed the log, but no swaps. TFTC, PalsLove.

It might be large but it wasn't easy to get to . TFTC

Tftc

Was a bit stuck and hoped we didn’t disturb any crawlies. TFTC. SL

A few caches on my way up to the QOGM 2019 event at Blackall....
A quick find. This would be hard to miss by way of its size!! Cache container in good condition.
TNLNSL TFTC

OK the hint is right. TFTC

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

Genghicat and I are satisfying our craving for travel by doing a quick 3 day circuit west.
A quick, unmissable find. Found in good condition but old log book is gross. Could do with clearing. Tftc

Tftc

2:07:00 PM. Having a stop over on our way to the Rural Safari. A good driveby with plenty of room to park. Found cache and log signed. Left the scooter behind that someone left as a swap. Thanks PalsLove for the cache.

Found while on a few days geocaching getaway. Quick easy find. Tnln. Tftc

Quick grab on our way pass. TFTC!

Good coordinates and a safe place to park made for a quick find.

The drive today continued north and we picked up a couple of caches along the way to guide us along the chosen route. This cache was an easy find. Actually, you could not possibly miss it! Signing duties were soon done, along with ilook4geo, and all was put back where it belonged. Thank you to PalsLove for giving us a reason to stop here by placing this cache.

This was another successful find in the day of caching and travel with goingplaces2. All was good with the cache and duties were soon done. Time to move on again. TFTC.

Almost drove straight past this one on our way to somewhere else. But i can’t resist a large container. Thanks for the cache

Lance Constable Bluejohn is the largest troll in the city. People can’t see him on the crowd because he is the crowd. In the Watch we use him as the riot shield. I’ve not seen anyone come off better after a run in with him.

found it.

Last couple of caches on our drive back to Toowoomba from Rocky. When we stripped here we saw a rainbow from the sunset but it was only different shades of red. i took a photo but the photo did not go it justice

Thanks PalsLove

11/4/19 - kids and mum

Found by Mary and David at 1120. Don't think we've seen 4m flood markers before. What a sight that would be? We left home a week ago, heading to Fraser Island tomorrow for a family gathering - all our children and grandchildren together. Later, we go south again to the Clear Waters Mega. Wonderful to see a decent container here. Our thanks to PalsLove.

#9025 - 07:20; Day 4 of a long planned mission to South East Queensland with Sol de lune and after a couple of days in and around Nanango and the wider South Burnett area, it was time to head back towards Brisbane, then home later on Tuesday. Stopped for this one as we headed from Nanango towards Toowoomba. Not too often I've found two large caches in one day, but it has just happened again! TFTC PalsLove

On a 5 day trip around the south east of Queensland with LuckyL10n chasing Geocaching Australia caches.

On the way to Toowoomba and we stopped for this one. Another large cache, great to see.

Thanks again PalsLove...cache is all good.

Pulled off here before heading back onto the main road into Nanango, we were heading there to chase one geocache in particular, a multi, but we did manage to stop and grab a couple of caches before, Mrs Wallaby lept out of Grover the Geo-Jimny and was soon pushing her way through scrub when she soon called out she had a few scratches, being a scrub wallaby, I was used to this kind of thing and soon had the cache in hand, log signed, good sized container, made it something different for us.. tftc

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

Nice big find win the tough mothers today on our way to Nanango. Tftc

Sure is big! Tftc

Out with lisylou and jemilucy and mnance101 for the weekend tftc

TFTC. This was an easy find on my trip from Wondai to Toowoomba.

I love the nice biiig container

Huge!! LOL TFTC

All good.

This really was our last cache of the day, and what a perfect one to do as we ran out of light...we couldn't miss it! Tftc PalsLove

It is the day after the Rural Safari and stortigirls and I are out collecting caches in the area. The light was gone by the time we reached this one, but we used the torches on our phone. Nice to find a large container. TFTC

Found on way for camping week with friend.Left Batman figureTFTC

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. Thanks also for placing a large cache container here. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache (with swaps) here.

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 cache has been soaked at some stage.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

On the way back to brissy from nanango we decided to pick up a few smilies. Was easy to spot this one and was happy to find a large cache to try fulfill a challenge of finding large caches. Thankyou for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

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 it's 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

In New Zealand there is a very sharp shrub that must have been lovingly crafted by Lucifer himself called "Matagouri". I believe I found its Australian equivalent near this GZ. Had I gone the correct way to get to the cache, I probably could have avoided the offending shrub. The log was signed and we moved on. TFTC PalsLove

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 2 for the day.

We had passed the cache on the way to find Farm View and then the GPS wanted us to take a long route to get back to the same spot. W ignored it and took the short route and stopped on the way back for a quick find.

TFTC PalsLove

After some powernapping, we continued along our scenic route to Nanango and pulled up at the turn off. Looking forward to finding a large cache for a change, we weren't disappointed.
We had to negotiate a bit of long grass and fallen branches, as well as another load of cobblers pegs, but soon found the spot.
Took old fire truck, left orange bracelet. Also found and took The Equator-bug TB (Singaporean $2 note crane) not listed in the cache inventory.
