Mirani staying at the caravan parkAn afternoon out caching with Mr Snakepitter, we had wanted to revist Kinchant Dam as we had camped here many years ago. The campground was crowded with campers.We found a few caches here then continued onto Eton.We had logged a DNF here some years ago, glad to be able to cross it off our list.Thanks Van_Diemens_Lad for hiding this cache.

A few in the arvo before we head off to the evening event

Hi there Van_Diemens_Lad, we found your cache LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN today. Its day 17 of our geocaching trip to Mackay. Today were going for a drive to Kinchant Dam. If we pass a cache on the way we plan to stop and look for it. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Signed and replaced as found. Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache near where our GPS said we should be looking. Cache Condition: Good. Regards Ian & Penny (Found and logged using Cachly).

On the way back to Mackay I made a quick stop here for a rest and to grab the cache. A big spider was guarding it TFTC

Another nice find for Grub62. This cache was found in good condition and deserves the D/T rating it has. TFTC.

bunadoorian and I came here to pick up this cache after trying for another nearby and being Googled to find a parking area. So off we walked from where we parked the car. I found the cache first. TFTC and for bringing us here Three Rs

Found It!A quick find here late in the day. But it wasn't really hidden at all.TFTC

Thx

Thanks

quick early stroll, signed cache log at 06.57am quiet around home front ,the lone walker this morning, a lot of cars in area was a wedding last night and plenty left their cars behind will be some sad punters about today,,TFTC

Surprised to find this sitting out in the open so when I signed it I put it against the post to protect it a bit better. I assume the previous one was in the gaps on the rails. Anyway I signed a log so it is find by me.

Ocw the Bebes. After contacting the CO we replaced the cache as per original so now all good to go.

OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa

After yesterday’s DNF I reached out to the CO and offered to place a replacement cache (this offer was accepted).

We camped at the hotel across the road and this morning got out the caching kit to create a new one.

A pretty creek here.

Staying overnight in Eton on our caravan.

Took a stroll across the bridge but left without a smilie.

I think this one may be gone

I wish I did find it, I've been searching for an hour.

Stop to exercise our legs, walk along the bridge for a smile , on our way to Mackay TFTC.

On a road trip and caching adventure around Central Qld after our Vic mega plans were scuttled.Staying in Mackay for a few nights and seeing the sights of the region.

This one was easier than anticipated.

Looked in all the wrong spots for this one, but finally set eyes on it. Was surprised that it’s still there with where it is sitting. But I replaced it to where it was.
Have driven over this bridge a million times. Was nice to see the river from a standing view.

On our way to Barcaldine for QOGM 2018 and Caching our way there. Met up with RoddyC and Mrs RoddyC in Rockhampton on Monday and have been heading North slowly before turning west.
Stayed in Carmilla last night and today we head back towards Rockhampton a little bit and started the day at Clareview. A big day and had to back track about 100 kilometers cue to the Sarina Range being closed. So have to go to Nebo the long way via Mackay as RoddyC could not get autogas in Sarina. Oh well, those are the breaks. Tonight we are staying in Moranbah and tomorrow on towards Clermont via a very tour of the coal fields towns.
This took way longer than it should have thanks to walking muggles.

Taking the scenic route home from Dads Day in the Valley and doing some caching in the backyard. T4T $

Easy find as cache was poking out
Removed and signed log but unable to hide any better

Nice view of little river from gz

Found and signed log while nomading around the country...TFTC

Could not ding unfortunately

Trackables passing through

Another clever hide. The 'camo' covering definitely needs replacing at some point as the colour is showing through. SL TFTC

Travelling between Mackay and Moranbah we had a small opportunity to stop for a quick roadside cache. Keen spotting from Jezza_theGeokid and GeoPeacock.
TFTC we'll be back

Cool idea.

Ha ha very clever

#1 "No more walks in the woods"
aint that the truth - feeling pretty exposed on approach to GZ
no shade and nothing to separate you from the continues flow of traffic
thankfully was able to make a quick find and retreat here
grabbing the FTF to boot [^]
thanks for the cache Three R's
