The tree the cache was in is gone.

Tree is gone, cache is gone.
CO hasn't been active since 2016.
Time to archive???????????????????

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

No tree, No cache.
May be this cache should be replaced or archived.
CO hasn't been active since 2016.
Archiving looks like the the best alternative.

Spending a day caching around Maidenwell on all the roads less travelled

Lots of controlled burns recently, can still smell the smokiness as we drive along the roads.

The tree has been given a fair old haircut as have others, of all the trees in the park

Yep, we concur. The Tree is definitely gone.

Didn't find this cache, at GZ the tree is missing

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
Nice quick find in a quiet town tonight.

TFTC. Travelling through on our way to Albury/Wodonga to retrieve our Motorhome. Stopping every so often for a break and to find a cache. Hoping to come back this way in a few days to better explore .

TFTC nice quick find while travelling north for some warmer weather

Tftc, day out from Kingaroy to collect a few smilies.
Nice weather, not to hot. Plenty of long grass.

TFTC

Wandered over to GZ to begin my search and it didn't take long before I had the cache in hand. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC Fisher Clan

I am doing the Well Travelled Traveller Challenge. this is the 4th last I need, the other are over 500kms away, so it will be a while to get those.

Staying at the Bunya Mountains, but as it was raining this morning up there, we ventured out on a little road trip north and west for the day.
Kumbia was our first stop. We traversed the bright green grass to the likely hiding spot for the cache & soon retrieved it from its hideout.
#3078 @ 1125h

I found this but it was almost impossible to retrieve. Miraculously, I fluked it, but it might pay to be aware that this container could disappear entirely.
TFTC.

TFTC Nice hide

# 2376 - Another find during a monthly trip with the motorhome.

We stopped overnight at the Apex park in this lovely little town and went for a walk the next day. Always great when you have a reason for a walk.

Hubby found this one. Sometimes I am just cache blind!

Well hidden in a lovely park. TFTC

It was lunch time so we parked under some shady trees, right on top of an ants nest - very large ants - guess who got bitten? Me of course - I am an ant magnate. Anyway wandered over to the cache site and Significant Other made the discovery. Are we a team or what????

Log signed and cache carefully replaced. Back to the car for our picnic lunch. TFTC

A quick find to stretch the geodogs legs.

Needs new logbook

Tftc

Another cache that had room for us to park the caravan, a short walk later and we had the cache

Found and had a pair of sulphur crested cockys watching and making a huge racket...

Travelling thru to Wondai and picking up caches where possible to pull up with a caravan. All good with this one. Thanks Fisher Clan. Find # 1078

Thanks Fisher Clan, loving the cache tour.

Beadling down the back roads on way to Cooyar to drop off some stuff. A quick find here

Arrived in Kumbia via a wrong turn and it’s a neat little town Drove to GZ for a quick find.

TFTC Fisher Clan

Got it. TFTC

TFTC

Easy find. We enjoying winter road trip and stopped in Kumbia for a visit.

My husband and I decided to come up here from Brisbane and stay at the accomadation centre nearby in possum lodge. It's the first weekend allowed after lockdown during covid19. Today we went to kingaroy after our morning 10km Bush walk. It was great to find some caches along the way. Great hint and nice little town. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy .

Stopped in on the wa to the Bunya

It was time to move along the road again with the caravan in tow. This cache was found with ilook4geo and both names were added to the log. All was then put back as found to await the next finder. A nice quick and easy find is good while travelling. Many thanks go to Fisher Clan for putting this cache into play.

Our travels took us further west today, along with goingplaces2. Picked up a selection of caches, signed each log and replaced as found. TFTC.

A nice sneaky hide

Grabbing a few strays while out this way while MrGravel has some extra time. Will return in a couple of days for the dirt roads when we have another respite day
This one was a clever hide and no wasps in sight
TFTC

Nice hide - clever and a quick sign and off we go.

We are on an eight day trip to Hervey Bay. We saw the most amazing wild creatures close up at Hervey Bay. Whales are ugly but still so wonderful. We also saw some beautiful countryside, although everywhere is in dire need of rain. Thanks for your cache which helped us take a break from driving and have fun at the same time.

We had time for a little caching as we travelled from Bathurst to Hervey Bay and back to see the whales. We thoroughly enjoyed both and are grateful for the caches which helped make the trip more enjoyable.

Found by Mary and David at 1120. We really have to do some research when we get home to find out more about his exploration. We stayed in the Burke and Wills motel in Kingaroy last night, and dined at the Explorers Restaurant. Our thanks to Fisher Clan.

Tftc

Found the tree I think it's in, but lots of wasps there, so I'll try another time

Quaint little town its growth obviously suffering due to its proximity to Kingaroy. Easy little park and grab. TFTC

Quick find in the quaint town of Kumbia
TFTC

Nice little break...tftc..

Crunchy underfoot as we walked to gz
Easy find
Tftc

Found it

While camping in the Nanango area with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to get out & about finding some caches in the surrounding areas.
The hint said - 'bark' - so I tried to get Scruff to .. but she just looked at me ,
In the end I decided to find the cache the usual way ..

All Good .. TFTC ..

Quick find, log is breaking up. TFTC

Day two of our “Raising Hell in Maidenwell” false start cache run…
Our “Raising Hell in Maidenwell” cache run, it was supposed to be a car show but incorrect info on the website had Scooby Doo (Subaru Outback) and the Mystery Machine (Caravan & Mobile Geo HQ), stacked, loaded and ready to go on the wrong weekend. With Mr RF hanging for a day off and a trip anywhere, we decided to change the weekend into a cache run with a visit to the Maidenwell Hotel Saturday night for the monthly “Pig on a Spit”. Basing the Mystery Machine (Van) in the pubs free camping area Friday afternoon for a Sunday departure we headed off to do some caches.
Back on track after getting the run around by the GPS selecting let’s say an interesting way to get to the previous cache.
As this one had had a couple of DNFs I read the logs and seemed to come to a common theme… BEE ware. We probably violated some local by-law and drove pretty close to the GX from the sports ground side. Deciding the other inhabitants of the tree were Aussie natives and not known to be aggressive, I retrieved the cache and signed the log.
We took nothing but memories; we left nothing but footprints and our tag.
The hide is excellent, the container is in good nick and the log is in good condition and ready for the next finder.
Thanks for the cache Fisher Clan.
Cheers

Log very wet. Added temp log. Wasp not a problem

Wasp nest it is off too.

My GPS directed me to a tree but, once I saw the wasp nest in the tree, I was out of there!

Easy find but log sheet is full needs replacing tftc

A quick find here,
after a wander through the parklands

TFTC

Out and about with Ranibaskale finding a few caches and enjoying the scenery. Stopped to find this sneaky hide, and signed the log. Thanks for the cache, Fisher Clan.

Quickie in the park with Jess&Caro. Tftc

Geo-Mamma was all over this one! LOL ...
Quick find.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Found it with bikesu. Tftc

On the way home after our successful trip to Chinchilla ... Finally saw watermelons growing on the fields and being harvested. Tftc

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
No one around today so the hunt was easy.

Thanks for the fun Fisher Clan!

Easy Drive-Trough found on Tour with Lamm_Bada

Vielen Dank fürs Ausdenken, Legen, Hegen und Pflegen und natürlich ein dickes

Passing through on route to Kingaroy. Remembered there were caches nearby and opened the app in time to turn down the street. Nice quick find. Good to get out of the car and stretch. T4tc

Spend 2 months working in kumbia before, after being away for a month I am back and finally went out to find this one! Quick find.

In the company of troobloo, travelling back to VIC with our vans, we were getting very tired and irritable due to the heat (37°) and storms were threatening to break loose.
We decided to stretch the legs and find a cache and this one happened to be the lucky fellow that we visited
I didn't know where I put my GPS so we toddled off using the phone. I personally hate phone caching but I gave it a go. The compass was going haywire...this way....that way...even that way....back that way...and it went on. We tuned in to our geo-senses and made our way to a spot that we thought looked pretty good. We circled the tree a few times and noticed a beehive and they were starting to exit their homes....they didn't want us there at all. Anyway we found the cache, did our duties and headed back to the car, thanks for the fun Fisher Clan!

Great way to explore little country towns

TFTC! Great spot.

Lovely area. We're taking advantage of overnight stopover provided for travellers. Nice easy find once near GZ. TFTC

Again good co ords led to us finding this cache. Noticed the neighbours were keeping an eye on us!!!

Chinchilla - Kumbia
After setting up camp at the rest area we headed out into the country roads looking for the caches.
We spent an afternoon tiki touring the area. Most were easily found, good hints given
Thanks for placing this cache Fisher Clan

Found Ok

Quick find while partying in Kumbia for my aunties 90th. TFTC

Spotted suss piece of bark. Nifty little test tube and pen Combo. Tftc

We decided to head off for a couple of days in the caravan and do some caching while our non geocaching friends were red clawing on the Bjelke Peterson Dam. We loved the rural countryside we encountered and while we were on our rounds we did maintenance as we went given that we were there at gz and sometimes it is not so easy for the owner to attend. Thanks to Fisher Clan for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location.

Found at 1608. Found while on a geocaching expedition in my favourite region for a couple of days. A quick Drive by. TFTC.

A quick find just before the heavens opened. TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

GeoKids had a ball today finding a string of Fisher Clan caches, and this one didn't disappoint either. TFTC.

On my AUStrip 2015/16 logged. Thx for this cache.

Up in the Kingaroy and Nanango area for the Nanango Event. After the Event on the Saturday, spent 3 days chasing caches around the countryside and also in the towns. Seeing the different type of caches the CO's puts out in different locations that you would not do if you did not geocache. Thank you CO for bringing us to these spots. TFTC

Our GPS thought there was a road down through this straight row of trees. Nup - it doesn't exist. Must be just gazetted. We therefore found we walked in to GZ the longer way, but hey, it's good exercise isn't it. Found the cache safe and well and gratefully signed the logbook. Cheers Fisher Clan! [^][^]

Had an enjoyable weekend including attending Nanango's first Ever Event and searching for lots of caches. Saw wonderful scenery as well as wildlife on our travels through the back roads of the South Burnett. Thank you to all the COs who place the caches in these fascinating spots.

Good hide

Out before the event with grannysmith1947. TFTC.

Gotcha !!! On the way to Nanango's First event. WATCH OUT FOR THE WASPS. TFTC

It was getting late by the time we arrived in Kumbia - we had planned on being here somewhere around 2.00pm, but a number of DNFs on today's run has us running way behind time.

Fortunately, there was no one around today, so this was a muggle-free hunt in a pleasant country town park.

Found at 5:00pm on 3rd December 2015. TFTC.

Found at 10.41hrs. On a shopping trip from the Bunyas to Kingaroy. Time to get some of these caches we keep passing every time we go the Bunyas. Never knew this park was here. Always just drive straight through Kumbia. Removed some lollies that were in the cache.

Nice and easy find.
