Continuing our walk through the park we stopped and found this one which was nicely hidden. All good here. Log signed snd replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Stopalot.

A nice hide here and all in good condition. TFTC Stopalot

Day trip to Maryborough with the family and planned on finding a few of the local geos. TFTC

Tftc

The cache was on the ground. New log today and replaced in its hidey hole.

Running out of time, maybe another day

I suspect coords are incorrect on this one, as this is not on the rise.

Uncertain if it’s still around after the floods, maybe better luck next time

No luck here although we didn't look too hard cos it hasn't been found since the floods.

Please confirm this is still in place since the last flood???

We checked all the caches including this one after the floods early 2022. They have been found by others since

Good hide!

New log put in today.

Log obviously been in flood water …managed to sign TFTC

Day 4 & 5 in Maryborough. We thought we would continue to look around town and spend our time caching here. It didn't quite work out as we thought as there were a number of caches in parks and reserves and we ventured wider as well. A good variety of caches and hides all in generally good condition. We had mixed results on a number of tree fishing attempts. Some we just couldn't spot, others we couldn't reach with our fishing pole. Will have to look at some further modifications when we get home! We did manage to get a couple though!

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Stopalot.

Nice hidden treasure. Enjoyed the search! Boo

Kids found it , great spot

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
Nice walks around this area with the locals.

After finding a nearby cache, Konie and I headed to this one. A quick find was made. After adding our names to the log, returning everything as found, we were on our way again. TFTC

In the area today with Selva Girls picking up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for me and others to enjoy.

Visiting Maryborough and camping at the showgrounds we are out each day to find some of the great and prolific geocaches in the area. This was one we visited today. Thanks Stopalot for placing it here. We are loving all the areas geocaches are taking us to. Log signed Team JAR as JooJoo57, Aussie Liahona and RichmondLad.
Cheers and happy caching!

While up here in Maryborough, we ventured around Maryborough and the countryside. Log was signed as Team JAR (joojoo57, Aussie Liahona and Richmond Lad) . Searched and found cache. Signed log and place back where found. TFTC

The last cache for today. after a short search it was found. log it quickly, because the moskitos were very thirsty...

Thanks for the cache and many greetings from Germany,

Staying a week in the Maryborough and Hervey Bay area and hoping to find lots of caches and see some interesting spots. Thank you to all the CO's who placed and maintain the caches in this area - it is appreciated.

Easter in Maryborough. Youngoldfella has returned home and this is our final day before we return home on Tuesday.

Gotcha. Thanks for replacing.

Log signed and cache replaced as found on April 18, 2022. TFTC, Stopalot

Took the opportunity to get away for the weekend to Maryborough.

Day 4. Our aim today was to get a few more smiles in the area before heading south.

Travelling & Caching with RoddyC.

We did this cache on our scooters.

The cache container was lost in the February 2022 major flood event along with another cache on the bank of the river which had to be relocated to a new position. This one then had to be relocated further away.

Cache replaced in a nearby location after the major flood event in Feb 2022

This cache has disappeared in the February 2022 floods. We will try to replace soon when the Council has finished clearing up the mess.

No find today in sandals but nice cycle path. Tftc albeit not found.

We went out today to check/replace our 3 caches on the Mary River and Tinana Creek after the major floods earlier this month.

We were absolutely amazed to find all 3 caches still attached to their trees when they had been at least 3 - 4 metres under a raging torrent.

One even had a dry log - try and figure that out! 2 needed replacement logs.

The photo here shows the incredible Mighty Mary raging and the Lamington Bridge completely invisible under the water.

A big morning out on the bike doing most of the Geocaching 101 series. A rest for a few hours and now another quick pedal around.

Took the scenic route to this one, but a quick find once I got there.

Awesome

Nice hide that one

TFTC Nice hide

Easy find didn't hang around if you get my meaning

TFTC. It has been some time science we originally failed to find this one. Today I (Hans) was returning home from a trip to the big green shed. Decided to pull over and have another go. Walked in from the parking spot and before too long had the cache in hand and log signed. Nice to rectify a blue face

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that I can claim the finds.

06/07/21 Staying in Maryborough Camp site with Caravan and seeing the sights and grabbing some caches. Heading to Bundy this arvo. TFTC SL

Worked this morning and driving around finding caches - fun!

I just happen to be standing in just the right spot to see this cache, hubby dived in and did what was needed to be done. SL TFTC

I found this cache on a trip with Snickersallan, I thank all CO's for the time and effort putting out and maintaining the caches, all were enjoyed. TFTC

Day 3 of our visit to beautiful Maryborough and our plan is to do the inner part of town then work our way around the surrounding areas.

Beautiful walk to reach GZ where the cache was found in a timely manner, thanks CO.

Headed to Hervey bay for my annual pilgrimage to see my daughters on their first day of school for the year. Lucky there's a couple of hundred of caches between Hervey Bay and home.

This was cache **48** of **70** All caches were found with ease and in good condition unless otherwise said, and I thank each of the Cache Owners for placing and maintaing these caches. I apologise for the generic logs, it doen't mean the effort has not gone unnoticed.

Had a 50/50 picking the right tree, picked the wrong one. few thorns but the cache was retrieved

Thanks for the cache **Stopalot**

Found! Quick and easy!

Tftc stopalot, plenty of thorns nearby. Search made from a few metres off and spotted.

There are some lovely walks around Mary and this is one of them. Also great to see habitat for our koalas Good coords made this a quick find

TFTC Stopalot

Another quite find.

Found it, stamped log and replaced cache.

Found. Good easy find. Thanks for the Cache.

9th find of the day, after walking around picking up caches, this was a quick find stamped log and replaced. Thanks to Stopalot.

TFTC,
Always great to visit and catch up with cachers we have made friends with over the years.
Out again making the best of our time on day 2 in the area.
Quick find as we made our way around the park.

TFTC. Had to wade through grass taller then me but found it so worth it.

Good cache, thanks

TFTC

Bingo. Stood in the right spot and found it this time. TFTC.

Found my first one

Driving to Maryborough this afternoon, spending the night there and then on to a job on Thursday morning.
Doing a loop of MB aiming to log the quick one's today, saving the longer ones for another time.
Time for a short walk, almost alone in this park

Thank you for hiding this cache

Another nice quick find. Muggle brother spotted this one...

TFTC

No trouble spotting this one from afar. thanks Stopalot

Found by Mary and David at 12:45. Not much further to walk from our previous find. Two caches for one parking spot is always good value. Enjoyed the walk and River views. So different from Victoria. Our thanks to Stopalot.

TFTC

????

We checked the cache today and it is still there, visible if you stand in the right place. The GPS may be a bit wobbly due to the trees.

No luck for us today. Think it's gone.

4 DNFs so will check it next week

No luck this time.

We gave this a good go, but no smilie for us today.

Sadly a DNF for this one today. But we enjoyed the walk in the park.

It's School holidays, so we are on a Caravan trip with our grandaughter. Today we stay in Maryborough for the Mary Poppins Festival.

Later we walked the dolls and grabbed some caches. Thanks to the COs.

Found it with TBU1BIKESU.TFTC

S 25° 32.914 E 152° 41.321

Coordinates changed to:
S 25° 32.903 E 152° 41.340

Distance from original: 122.0 feet or 37.2 meters.

The original GZ access was almost completely overgrown with vines and other vegetation. We have relocated to a more easily accessed position.

Relocated to new position with new container and log.

Cache wet and mushy. Almost impossible to log. Needs maintenance. Second attempt at this. Need to trust GPS. TFTC

Terrain is now heavily overgrown and log is wet. Will relocate it nearby to a more suitable site as soon as we are able.

First up we found a homemade bong with a pair of stainless steel scissors in a tub nearby, but after a closer look at them, then at the GPS moved away and eventually found the cache. Took a bit of time and we weren't too happy to find the bong

Log wet so photo instead

Found with a fair bit of hunched over trudging through spiked vines. Log is damp and needs a replacement

Log is wet

Smooshy log. Pen may work. Pencil doesn’t. Spiky vines guarding it. Tftc

Found at 1:20 PM GAFF2 at a distance of 9 metres into the bush with vines that wanted to strangle us!
Oh my - we struggled big time on this cache [B)] Whenever we see a D/T of 1.0/1.5 we say to ourselves - "We are going to be in a lot of trouble here aren't we" and it is usually because the D/T rating has been under rated. Well it was no different here today. We arrived at the spot just past the bridge and looked at where the GPSr was pointing and then thought - there is no way that this is a T of 1.5. A Terrain rating of 1.5 is typically just off the side of a track, or a bit of a walk across some grassy flat area. Well after finding over 24k caches that is one thing that we have learned.
So after a few minutes with this cache, p-pprass actually pulled the pin and went off looking at interesting car wrecks over the fence, but c-pprass was determined to find the cache and after a bit of rummaging around and going up a steep incline yells out - "Found it!" Well you could have blown be down with a feather (never understood that saying), but anyway I was impressed. We then discussed the actual hide and thought that even the Difficulty rating is not a 1.0 - a tough hide which deserves at least a 2.0.
Thanks Stopalot.
Feedback: We consider that this cache deserves a D/T rating of 2.0/2.0.

Hi there Stopalot.

We cached around Maryborough today before catching up with friends that are house sitting nearby. Our total today was 13 caches & we DNF'd 1. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels as we continue our nomadic wanderings around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 9m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

A planned day around Maryborough. Weather not to hot so walked a few kilometres gathering the first 6 caches, rest we were able to drive to.
All caches today were in good order except one which didn't have a container, only a wet log in a plastic bag. SLTFTC

Easy find. Log very damp. TFTC.

Took way too long but log signed a bit damp but ok TFTC
