I couldn't just leave this cache unfound now could I.I'm not a monster.Sadly got a hunch now has to play second fiddle to naratriptan. At least it lessens it's loneliness, both caches no doubt getting found together, such as I certainly did.It took a moment. Not the first tree, but the second. Not the fork but the base.So much surprise.The nearby cows could hardly contain themselves.Then I deliberated walking onwards to palmwoods and the unfinished adlab there....Instead I walked back up the razorback to town. Thanks spiderwebbs4 for hiding a cache out here in tranquil town.
Odd but very interesting spot. Very obvious once seen but make sure to bring a pen or pencil as one is not provided.
I would never have k own this cute little spot existed. Thank you. We swapped some treasures
A short detour down Hunchy Road for a couple of caches (after getting my parents' tick ok). This cache took a couple of minutes to find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [spiderwebbs4](https://coord.info/PR68A9N) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------Today, with visiting parents from Adelaide, we travelled north to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, visiting The Ginger Factory in Yandina in the morning, and Montville in the afternoon.We spent longer at The Ginger Factory with baby Cottontail enjoying Zog's Forest Adventure Trail, and then detoured through Palmwoods, where we extended our drive due to Cottontail's nap. We then took a walk along Main Street in Montville and completed [Last Chance to see...frogs](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/ee8c48ce-4774-42d9-8e9c-b122c1fee657) Adventure Lab. It was then time back down the mountain, and a homewards return.
Headed down this road for two finds.
A beautiful part that I never knew existed.
Thank you for this cache

Came a bit further down the road to grab this one today. I ended parking just around the corner from GZ, but luckily that meant I got to stop and look at the beautiful rustic windmill nearby! Didn't take too long before the cache was in hand. Thanks for the cache spiderwebbs4!
Driving from one cache to another I spied these not to far from road we were one. Figuring that a weekday had to be better for retrieval on this skinny road, rather than a weekend we made a slight detour. Played eye spy on the way down the road scouting the locations and parking availability. Turning around at the end we did the pick up on the way back.
Thanks for the cache!

spiderwebbs4 I found your cache Got A Hunch on 25/7/2022, 2:15 pm. This is my find 3841 and find # 6 today. Found it after a brief search and stretch. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Day out in this area to help PirateLinda reach a milestone. Other players are Peppa and TMZ59.
Missed a turn somewhere so took advantage of the drive along this road to find the caches here. Peppa started searching while we turned the car around and was still searching when we pulled up.
Searched all around GZ until PL made the find in another place. SL then returned as found.
Found on 3 June 2022. TFTC, spiderwebbs4.

Found cache and signed log. Returned cache as found. Out with patrol14, Pirate Linda, and Peppa. Beautiful day for finding a cache or two. We have a list and we will follow it . TFTC.
We’ve come to the hinterland to help PirateLinda get her 2000th find… with that done it’s a few more caches heading north to Mapleton…
One missed turn and here we are… I jumped out while the others turned the Santa Del Fey around… I was still hunting the cache when they returned… everyone was out of the car by the time PirateLinda spotted the very colourful container…

Quick and easy find. Log sheet was wet so I dried it as well as I could and scratched my name on it. I’m sure any passing cars would wonder why I was stopped here! TFTC
Met up with grannysmith1947 for a day out caching in this picturesque district.
Well someone mentioned ticks here & they definitely were not wrong as between us we ended up with 13 ticks, they were crawling all over us after we had driven off!
Replaced wet log sheet and were on our merry way not knowing we had so many freeloaders in our car. Best to spray yourself all over before venturing in to GZ.

The hint is confusing and we also didn't find a film canister. Or at least we wouldn't have called it film canister.
But at the end we found it, signed the log and put it back.

Stopped here on the way home from Mapleton. Log was indeed a mushy mess.
Replaced log with "Right in the rain" one, hopefully will fare a bit better here.
Happy hunting!!

Super glad that WallabyTim volunteered to venture into the tall grass to find this one! Unfortunately the log was mush after lots of recent rainfall (WT can send photo). Overall an enjoyable drive down this scenic country road and another calendar date filled in. TFTC

Found it, paper too wet to pull out of container. Rather easy find, hint and notes helped.
First to find new log and container
Rehid but it’s not visual as before. Staying close from Uk. Tftc.

Replaced broken container. Now tube type. Didn't find any ticks today, the last visitors must have removed them all...
Highly not advised! Got back into the car and discovered my partner and I had over ten ticks on us! Not a pleasant surprise. We’ve spent the past hour searching each other and though out the car removing them.
Would avoid this particular cache but still worth the drive.

Small detour after a day in Monteville, nice little road to drive down. TFTC

Spent my last full day in Australia after a good business trip going to Australia Zoo and grabbing a few caches in the area. Came up to Monteville, etc., hoping to see the views but the haze from the wildfires dulled the view quite a bit. Came down the hill to grab this cache -- my rental car's USB charge was anemic at best so I kept running out of juice -- but I got to ground zero and without the benefit of any kind of GPS managed to suss it out without too much trouble. TFTC #3,080.
195m from home. Our first Aussie find! Good job the tall half of the team was present! TYFC
Quick find by Geohubby on a wet stormy day. I'm sure all the locals passed us while finding this one TFTC

Sunday. Both Slow Punctures were on the cache hunt in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland today. It took both SPs to find this cache today. After using a stick poking in the logical spot, I could hear something like a container, but after sticking my fingers in, couldn’t really feel anything! So I tried the other spot nearby and couldn’t find anything there. Mr SP came along to help by now and I pointed him to the spot where I thought the cache was hiding. He stuck his fingers in and managed to pull the container out. It was chock full of water and the plastic bag, although a zip lock bag placed by the previous finder was sealed, water had managed to find its way inside it as well. We had to dry off the log sheet thoroughly before signing and we dried out the plastic bag and the container as best we could. Container replaced where found in its hidey spot, but not pushed down so far that fingers can’t feel it when searching. Lovely area and great spot for a cache, but next finders might want to bring paper to dry the container with them for this one.
This was the 10th of 11 caches found on today's trip.
Thanks ***spiderwebbs4***, for showing us this place.

Out and about with wombles creating new smileys in this lovely part of the universe. It didn't take long to have the sneaky beasty in hand. Unfortunately it was full of water and the log had seen better days, so I changed the log and baggy. Hopefully this will help for future finders.

TFTC well hidden but had to go on tippy toes to get. Certainly bright enough when you got it out TNLNSL
A lovely day for a wee bit of self love and off geocaching I’ve gone. Easy find but I did use the camera before putting my hand in there. Hi from NZ and TFTC
1Minniemoo and I decided to spend the day up here in the clouds, at one stage they were thunderclouds! Found after searching in the wrong tree at first.
Once we got back in the car I found not one but 2 big ticks crawling on my pants leg!

Driving past a local resident having a roadside bonfire, we soon pulled up in a reasonable spot and wandered over to begin our search. One tree stuck out more than the other to me as a likely spot here so I began searching but came up with nothing.
Wombles&Co on the other hand searched a little differently to me and found the spot where the cache was. As I have the added height advantage, it was my job to grab the cache.

This was my second cache today after heading home from work.
Cache was found easily enough and the log signed.
All is good with this cache.

Enjoying a tiki tour around the hinterland. Boiling hot so looking for some waterfalls and rivers to cool down. Great scenery. Cache wet but paper was fine. TFTC
Checked in on this one due to recent log re. wet log. Found the wet log in a plastic bag separate to the cache. Inside the cache however, further inside the hide than the old ziplock plastic bag, a nice new dry log in a new plastic bag was safe inside. Thanks so much, Janetwil for adding this new log for us. (Last finder may have only found the old log not the actual cache...)
Still in action, ready to find. Happy hunting!

Found it in bad shape. Log too wet to sign. Took photo. Could not replace log as I was in work car. Neereplacing. Will try to do that next week. Cheers. Janetwil's hubby.
I enjoyed seeing and hearing the cows and their calves here today. Thanks for the cache!
On our way to the airport to fly back to NZ. Hoped to drop off a TB but neither of the caches had room. It will just have to go back to South Island again.

Quick rummage in the bushes and we managed to find this one still in mint condition. Tftc.

We really enjoy it when geocaching takes us to places we wouldn't normally go. Off the regular track but so glad we came. Nice find and TFTC and bringing us here.
This little one certainly has been unloved lately - must be too far off the beaten track.
Thanks to Wonderwits for paying it a vist and reporting the need for maintenance.
Replaced the log today and dried out the container as best as could, removed some soggy swaps and replaced with new ones.
Wow, the grass has grown a lot here since I last stopped by. You just have grit your teeth, wince and dive in, hoping there's nothing alive underfoot! [P]

I was negotiating a couple of cows on the road when I realized I was at a spot that fitted the cache description. My hunt took a little while because I was looking in the wrong place, of course. Good hide. Log is sodden and unsignable so I took a photo to send to the CO. (I really need to start carrying a cache repair kit again.) TFTC spiderwebbs4.
Out doing some caching in this glorious QLD winter weather. This one took us a while to locate - probably because we were looking for a small cache as listed, but it was more of a micro sized container which meant it was in a much smaller hiding spot than expected. Luckily Marco was eventually able to spot the hide. TNLNSL TFTC
We both had a couple of days break from work so Dannza and I decided to spend our time catching up while caching. Lovely walks and coffees in the rain in this beautiful area. Had to stretch for this one. TFTC and apologies for the late log.
Doing a maintenance run and it sounded like this one needed a check up. The container is certainly quite chewed up! Replaced with a tougher one, although not very camouflaged to its surroundings. Luckily where it is hiding is not in direct view of the average person....Added a happy pill & badge for swaps. Happy hunting....

Out and about this afternoon, fine tuning my procrastination skills I decided to grab some caches. Not venturing in this neck of the woods too often, I was pleased with how quite and peaceful it was here and was just soaking in the ambience.
The cache was a quick find- the lid of the container seemed to be someone's dinner as there is a hole in it that may want to be replaced at some stage. The log is fine.

Out for a day of caching with stortigirls. We had a few caches that we were targeting for the day, but were also happy to pick up others along the way. stortigirls needed one more cache with a particular letter combination in the GC code to complete a particular challenge. As we drove from a Nearby oldest and finest cache into town to get some fudge, she was checking her map. Suddenly, she said that the fudge could wait. She had found what she was looking for. Through the town and down the hill we went. I drove past GZ, but managed to find somewhere to turn around. I then parked right at GZ. A short search and the cache was located. We added our names to the log book and rehid the cache before heading back into town to celebrate with our well earned fudge TFTC
After finding a few of Queensland's oldest caches in the Sunshine Coast area today, we thought some special Montville fudge was in order for a celebration. As we drove into the main street I began browsing nearby caches, when suddenly I noticed the GC on this one. A certain combination of letters is the last one I needed to complete a challenge! Woohoo Deciding the fudge could wait a few minutes, we took a detour and soon had the cache in hand. Tftc and helping me to complete my Elementary Challenge spiderwebbs4!
Beautiful area. Live nearby but never driven up this road. Needed geokid extension to help get to the cache. Hole in lid of container. Will probably need to be updated. Tftc.
Stopped off on my way through to palmwoods, another cache on a road never travelled b4, a 5 minute search to find this one on this peaceful road .

I was in Palmwood today and decided that a trip out along a country road would be relaxing. I must have hit the area in peak hour as 4 cars were heading out as I headed in. After parking close to GZ it wasn't long and the cache was in hand. I sat on the rock to sing the log and enjoy the quiet spot.
Once the log was signed all was replaced as found.
