Our 6th GZ and 5th find on our Easter Egg-venture. This might have been a T1.5 when sweet-sour placed it but not these days! He was a tough bugger though. Kokoda would be a T3 for Keith lol. TFTC

It's good to see the old rail infrastructure being looked after. No problems with the find. Thanks for the cache Brother Colin

No luck for me. Every thing was way out on my phone. Coordinates jumping all over the place.

Easy find. Last cache made it easy yellow lid spotted.

Jumped in the van this afternoon and headed out of town on a long weekend of caching. Working my way out and up north to work my way through a challenge cache that is high on my radar at the moment. Stopped quickly to find this cache as I needed a few more in this LGA for the challenge cache.It was a quick find after finding a safe place to park. Log extracted and mark made on the cache before returning it to its resting place. Off to the next find.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.Cheers

Its a tricky location..but a relatively easy find

Benarkin Station was transferred from Sweet-Sour to user Brother Colin

We detoured to come and find this cache with no luck.

There has been a lot of improvements to the park around the GZ area so maybe the cache has been removed

# 8749 Find day 13/20 the current souvenir season.
Today, iPlod65 is running in a 100mile - 160km event along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. I'm part of her crew, so grabbing caches as time and place permits. It would be great to ride the BVRT and get the rest some time. Easy find here.
Thanks Sweet-Sour for the hide.

Had me a little bit confused if it was it On the track or in the pack but found

An easy find. All in good order. 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 Sweet-Sour

Quick little weekend away, exploring the country side, with the ultimate goal to complete some of the Map of Australia Geo-Art on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.

Making our way from Yarraman down to Toogoolawah, finding the caches that weren't exclusively on the rail trail. Found this one in good condition, made our mark and rehid as found.

All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.

Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **Sweet-Sour**

I was up in Blackbutt for a FTF. On the way home I grab 5 caches. I did find nice 4wd tracks to drive on. After that it was quick drive home.

Find #6009

Having travelled through western NSW, the meander through south western QLD has begun. No fixed route, just wherever the mood (okay, and I'll be honest, the caches ) guide me

All caches are in good condition unless otherwise noted

Thanks so much Sweet-Sour for putting out and maintaining this cache and for making taking me to new places to discover enjoy.

Quick overnight stay at designated free camp, came across a little green friend on the way to this find

Muggles parked up right alongside GZ so couldn't look properly will have to come back

While out on one of our geocaching days with Peppa, we discussed how many oldies we have found and mentioned "Noises of Tarong". So a day trip to the area was planned and today we on our way to the targeted cache.

Lucky to have a previous finder as it made grabbing this one so much easier. Interesting hide and understood why this is here when we returned to the car. This was part of the rail line through the area but the bridge has gone.

TFTC Sweet-Sour

Overgrown and quite obvious water has been through here.

Was unable to locate not sure if recent rains and heavy overgrowth has impaired visual

I’ve driven past Benarkin, but never taken the time to make the slight detour… today hunting caches with a certain attribute this changed…

It took me a moment to realise where you wanted me… but once there it was a quick find…

Replaced the snap lock bag and returned everything as found… tftc…

Another great cache found on our drive west this morning. We pulled up close to GZ snd spotted a likely hiding spot. It is a beautiful morning to discover this area. Log signed and cache replaced as found. Thanks Sweet-Sour for another one.

Camped here overnight a few times now prior to our geocaching days. TFTC. Something to look for as we wander.

Picking up some caches whilst on my way to attend QOGM 2021 Paroo at Cunnamulla.
Cache found without difficulty, in the expected area. Cache in good condition.

I walked to this cache after setting up camp for the night a few hundred metres away.
The food's cheap and great at the store nearby. Sadly the showers are locked at present.
I kept walking along the highway up to the cemetary after finding this cache.
Thanks sweet-sour for hiding another geocache for us all to find.

Stickers galore

Found on the second attempt. TFTC.

Tftc. Need to bring a pen!

Tftc

this cache was well hidden but not to hard to find

Whilst camping at Benarkin State Forest for the long weekend, we took a drive to do some 4wding and find a few caches. This was one of them. What a great spot this is. We are now inspired to do a ride along the rail trail so perhaps one day we will be camping here en-route. Took a while to find this one as the vegetation is very overgrown. Gives the cache nice protection. TFTC.

Another new place for us that we have never been to TFTC

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, but a quick stop saw two of us requiring this one. A short walk from the parking area and cache was in hand. As we grabbed the other just on the way in it seemed pointless to leave this one all alone. My eighth cache and a nice size cache too, thank you.
With the log signed and cache replaced it was off to the next one on the list, or add to the list. All good with this one, thanks for placing it here.

It would be rude to get the one on the corner and not venture that t little bit further to grab the is.

Thanks for the find

A good free camp spot . Tftc

Been chasing this one for a while when stopping overnight. Finally had a chance to get in and get it. TFTC. TNLN. SL

Nice quick find. TFTC

Blue Bear find

Found by the geokids. We rode here earlier in the day.

Another cache on the Rail Trail. Its a nice break off the bike. Thanks for placing this cache, a welcome break.

The phones said this way no that way no this way... I said we have flippen cobblers pegs everywhere.

But we also found the cache! Well, kestal did. TFTC Sweet-Sour!

Continuing on our way this was our next stop but the GPS get going flicking back and forth and was never quiet happy. We both went in and eventually I called out I had it and all the cobblers pegs too. After plucking them all out we were on our way. TFTC Sweet-Sour

With muggles camped right above cache site lots of stealth required. Then we found they weren't there. TFTC

Nice quick find when I got myself in the right area to access the cache. As my knees are so troublesome I can never access slopes easily but I got it ok. Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC

Found it, will stay the night

Quick find tftc Sweet n sour

2:34:00 PM. Bit of a shrub bash to get through to this one, but got it and log signed. Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour

First for the day. Was going to get the one at the Blackbutt cemetery but there was a funeral in progress. Decided it was not appropriate. All good with this cache. Thanks sweet-sour.

Nice easy find

I am on the usual roadtrip to Kingaroy to pick my girl's best friend from Ballogie for the school holidays. We have been collecting a few smilies each trip, with Benarkin on the hit list today. A quick find here once I was in the right position. Tftc Sweet-Sour

Found With super snoop Muriel G

First find in Benarkin. Tomorrow we'll search for the rest here.

While camping with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to get out and find a few caches ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

Hard to get the compass to settle in on the right direction but we made a find without being spotted by cyclists on the rail trail today. TFTC

Today I had to drive from Brisbane to Kingaroy and back for some work meetings. After our meeting was over we headed back on the road to the city, finding a few caches along the way. Amazing to find this location tucked away off the main highway. This is what geocaching is about at its best - taking a traveller like me to places I never would have visited otherwise. TFTC, Biggles.

Having some Australia Day fun TFTC

Quick find. Thanks

We pulled in with our new caravan in tow to stop for a lunch break at this interesting little town. After walking around and reading all about its history I set off to find the cache. It wasn’t too hard to spot in a fairly obvious place thanks for sharing the spot with us

Well hidden! Was where I expected it to be though. Note to self, bring a brush cutter next time

we got it

Detoured off the highway to log this cache, use the facilities and grab an ice cream at the corner shop. Lots of campers settling in for the night.

Cache wasn’t quite where I expected it to be but Once in the right spot it was found quickly.

TFTC Sweet-Sour

First find partway though our trip in Australia, TFTC

Travelling from NZ decided to look for some caches while camping here

Will keep this spot in mind for next time we are in the area. Tftc

Out for the weekend with lisylou and jemilucy and mnance101 to nanango

Weekend away with Benny boppers, Lisylou and Mnance101.nice little Camp area. Tftc

Out caching for the weekend with the Tough Mother’s (Jemillucy, Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Nice quick find with bennyboppers mnance01 and jemillalucy on our way to Nanango. Tftc

Nice area

Out with Geowife Dora the Exploer and CDAH55

Lots of campers at Benarkin including a couple of vans not far from gz. We ducked down on to the track level to continue our search out of sight of the vans. We were thwarted several times by the overgrowth of zigzag wattle and tried to approach from several different directions. I ended up going back up top, while J battled on and finally had success deep within the wattle thicket close to the wall.
Took an interesting TB attached to a Deni world record ute muster 2015 cattle tag.

Dora the Explorer!, Phil Serenity and I were grabbing some caches today in the area today. This is one of the caches we stopped at on our way home.

A few caravans had parked up for the night however there was no-one around to see what we were doing.

It was not too long before the cache was in hand.

The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.

All is good with this cache.

Dropped off a Travel Bug.
