Mary's smoking again Royston, Queensland, Australia
By BRBE53 on 01-May-16. Waypoint GC6GWX5

Found it on the way home from Miles

Thanks for placing and maintaining for our enjoyment

2758 - With a couple of hours to spare in between appointments, I decided to go for a drive out to Kilcoy. I used to spend quite a bit of time up here approx 30 years ago, so it was a great chance to see how the town has grown and expanded. Of course whilst I was in the area I needed to grab a cache or two, and this was the last of four I grabbed on this visit. I signed the log at 12:50pm after I had found it in its logical spot, after waiting for a break in the traffic. Thanks for placing the cache here to mark this location BRBE53, all was well when I visited it.

A quick easy find. Thanks.

Will we? Won't we? The Roadworks made us think twice about doing it. But then we thought - Yeah come on let's do it!! The Roadworks guy didn't see us go for it and was yawning his head off when we returned. He looked a bit startled as if thinking where did they come from? We didn't see Mary or any smoke but found a Cache. We then continued our way to Kilcoy for the night.

TFTC Out caching w TreasureTrakas as companion. Tricky time to locate /sign cache due to roadworks but we managed it in between the stop/go lights and made it back to the vehicle in good time to get the green light.

Only just managed to grab this one. The traffic controller was probably wondering what we were doing. TFTC

Found with Mum and Dad.(Nathan and Alyce)#92 - TFTC

There was talk at a recent event about cachers heading up to Kilcoy to knock off the Rose GeoArt and that burst of energy gave us the motivation to head back out and knock off the remaining ones we didnt grab on our previous visit, you never know if itll mysteriously disappear in the coming months/years so we wanted to finish it off just in case.Before we arrived in town we wanted to nab this one, unfortunately it was missing last time we came through and seeing that its back in action with plenty of finds now was the best time to grab it.We did a quick U-Turn at the street just past GZ and parked a few metres back, we had a good feeling where the cache would be and sure enough, our suspicions were bang on!So What is Mary Smoking afterall?Thanks for bringing us here.#4331 - TFTC

Found it all good TFTC

Quick easy find

TFTC . Crazy hot road trip with pointyspice & alejandroc13. Quick find.

Found it TFTC Team wooness NSW

A blue sky and smoke free today. TFTC.

No sign of Mary today, but I was able to make a stop and quick geocache find at the bridge. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks BRBE53 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

----------

During this extended weekend, it was a trip north to find the 65 Roses geoart in Kilcoy, followed by two days boating on Lake Somerset to defeat the Dark Side series joined with [GurTheWanderer](https://coord.info/PRWMPWQ) and [stairman1](https://coord.info/PR4R27Z).

Today, I headed north via Caboolture, and I made stops in D'Aguilar and Woodford, before stopping at Stoney Creek in Bellthorpe National Park. Towards the latter morning, I set off finding the *65 Roses* geoart concentrating on the eastern circuit via Mount Kilcoy first, before then heading north, and back into Kilcoy for lunch. After tackling the central geocaches, I proceeded west through Woolmar, before finishing the series via the southern stem. As I was staying in D'Aguilar tonight, I returned via Mount Archer and a detour into the northern section of D'Aguilar National Park. A nice and cool weather day for collecting this series, and most of the geocaches were in good condition.

Awesome find. Easy to get. Log set up well. Tftc.

Easy park and grab here. Log in excellent condition! Very well maintained.
TFTC!

Toeing the caravan with geodog Peppa and geocat Levin in the car.

We’re limited due to the amount of room needed to pull off the road but this worked for a quick grab.

Tftc

Quick and easy find!

This cache has been on my hit list for quite awhile now and I finally had a chance to stop today.
I quickly located the cache and signed the log.

4.20pm. On our way home from the roses. A quick look and find on our way.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

BRBE53 I found your cache Mary's smoking again on 19/9/2022, 2:25 pm. This is my find 4232 and find # 6 today. A quick and easy drive by. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Why are roads only really really busy when you want to cross them to find a cache.

Fun history fact for the area, go Mary!

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Log signed in first open spot with stamp

TFTC BRBE53

Find # 8305

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

In the interest of keeping this cache alive and reading previous logs/DNF’s and a good search by ourselves using hints and tips from previous logs, I have replaced the container including a new log inline with the D/T rating until the CO has the opportunity to check out same. The new container is a 100ml plastic screw top. 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 BRBE53
Find #10670

We were certain where it would be, but we didn’t find anything unfortunately

A quick stop over on our way west for a day of caching in the rain. The cache was a nice quick find but unfortunately the logbook is saturated.TFTC BRBE53

No need for a hint with this one. Thank so much.

Found a few in similar spots so quickly discovered tftc

Sneeky. Thanks good one.

Visiting from Cairns, found a large amount of Roses in Kilcoy , some horses on Dayboro and now off to find Monsters in Brighton. Found this along the way . Tftc

Found today while on way to Kilcoy all is in good condition here

Caching in the company of GrumpyBump, after attending the CacheQld-Dayboro Mega Event, and still in the area.
Cache found in the expected area. TNLN TFTC

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

A very early start today out of the Kilcoy golf course. My first round in years and it showed. I'll put this one down as a practice round

I wanted to get a few caches done on my way home and this was a nice quick find. And it completes my Natural Wonders passport.

Thanks!!

#2802

Thank you

Easy find

A stop by here on the way to Kilroy and the cache was found. Log signed and caches returned as found. Thanks BRBE53.

I love the story behind the name of the street here. The river is looking very pretty due to the recent rains and the lilies on the surface.

Found it at 10.07 on 21/12/2020 Tftc. Find number 815 for this piratelady. Yoohoo me hearties

On our geocaching journey to Toowoomba we stopped for a quick leg stretch and without the smoke found this little hide. TFTC

Tftc, made a quick find here. Great that they named the creek after Mary.

Quick find on a very busy muggle filled road today. Tftc

Out today on a mission with OBC and mini-OBC. Swung by here for a looksee. After getting started at Oh'God'its'early-O'Clock, and the mandatory coffee stop, this was the next of over 120 finds today. The sun was barely up, the coffee was only half drunk, but we are smokin'. Parked mostly legally for another good quick find.

Thanks BRBE53 for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #8247}*

Out and about on a power trail today - targeting the Roses geoart (wahoo! highly recommended), the Potter Puzzles geoart, and the Hamilton power trail. It was a long but fantastic day with myself, Pprime (P') and mini oz_bean_counter, and the logs were signed as OP'X to reflect this. Started at 4 am with a check on the US election progress, in the car by 4.45 am and the first cache by 5.30 am. Home and dead tired 12 hours later, where wine and pizza were necessary to refuel the body before I crashed for the night. I was delighted to end the day with 124 finds (plus 5 DNFs, and revisited 2 caches) - a new daily record for me. I was really really happy to be celebrating that achievement with family and good friends.

Thanks for all the COs for their time and effort in placing and maintaining these caches. Apologies for the generic log.

TFTC and TB visits

Found it
We are on way to Somerset Dam for camping
Thank you CO
Beautiful country ️
With DeafPVC

Hooray thanks for share DeafPVC

After just completing the rose series, I was on my way home to beat the pending storms and saw there was a cache just ahead. I had to stop and have a look, an easy find and the the log signed and cache replaced as found I was onto the next one close by.
Thank you for placing this one here.

Nice quick drive by TFTC

A quick find here today - yep just reach in to the usual places. LOL

TFTC

Ah, I just didn't look hard enough last time. All good now. TFTC.

Think I know where it would have been, but it wasn't there

Mary must be out of tobacco because we couldn't find it.

It was a quiet enough time of day to make what we thought was a proper search.

Thanks for the opportunity to stop.

I was pretty fazed by the constant traffic and didn't make as thorough a hunt as I might have. TFTH BRBE53.

Stopped by on the way to Flaxton. Found after a short search. Tftc

Tftc tnlnsl quick find

TFTC quick easy find TNLNSL

We found this one today whilst out for a Saturday/Sunday driver today at 14.27 hr. Find was quick and easy. Retrieval and relodging was another matter with the amount of traffic on the road today, however once done we were on our way again, log signed as IRT. TFTC from the inspectorrexteam.

Working in Mary Smokes Creek Road this week so just had to stop and check out Mary's smoking spot.



Lovely but busy stretch of highway

TFTC

Thanks for the cache

Quick find in usual place for this type. Tftc

Found after leaving Kilcoy in the rain. Quick find with The X-Trailers. TFTC

After collecting a few roses in kilcoy the weather turned bad so we decided to head to the coast . We located this cache on our way . Found with Earthlight . Took longer than it should have to find this cache . Was way back in its hide and it was raining
Tftc

On our way home after Kilcoy adventures so we had to pull over to grab this one. Found in the logical spot. TFTC!

Pulled over for a quick grab here. Krcamber found the cache where I’d already looked
TFTC!

Easy find in the usual spot. Had to wait awhile for traffic to clear. TFTC

Too dangerous to put myself this close to the pinpoint cache with cars travelling at 100km/h +

Not recommended for kids if the cache is where the pinpoint was...

Looked at the same place 3 times before it suddenly decided to show itself. Tftc

V good hide

TFTC! Never my fave with cars wizzing by at 100km/hr. But to log, you must locate and sign. That I have done!

Quick find! Tftc

Continuing our way back to Toowoomba we stopped off at this one and make a quick find. TFTC BRBE53

I have driven past this cache so many times and read the interesting story. Today after tackling the 65 Rose's series and lunch at kilcoy my muggle husband and I picked up a few smileys on the way home. At gz I headed for a classic hiding spot and there it was. Thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Early start to the series this morning. Quickly grabbed the Trads before collecting the fruits of our efforts the past few months! Thanks for driving Woodsy21.

We had just spent the day out on the jet ski out on the dam, driving home we thought we would stop and grab this cache as it has been annoying us for quite some time. We couldn’t find it ages ago and just gave up on it until today. Parking we walked over and Mr 4ando found it in a spot where I had just said ‘It’s definitely not in there!’ Whoops maybe it was my fault why we missed it the first time!
Tftc

Found @ 0950 hrs

A quick P&G once log was signed everything was replaced as found.

TFTC

First cache on this trip to the big island that someone else has found on the same day.
A quick find in the obvious place on a busy road. Wouldn't mind a dollar for every cache we've found in this location.
Thanks.

Found with Touchstone7 on a trip out west of Brisvegas. We were up visiting my father and decided that a little side trip around an area I haven't really been to could be fun.

And of course, there were caches.

Thanks for the cache and sorry for the late log. Sometimes life gets a little hectic

A final find on our 3 day trip in the area behind the sunshine coast.
A quick park and grab. This cache was found quickly in good condition. Tftc

Found on our few days away tnln thanks for the cache

Found it on a quick trip to The Gold Coast, TNLN sorry for late entry

Another day out chasing caches to fill both hidden date and hidden month with grannysmith1947? And Millie the geodog. I decided to chase another old cache today. This cache is 16 years old and it older than my kids. was the main one today. Pick up a few caches today. TFTC BRBE53
Keep my streak going to #242 days. TFTC this was my #1602

After spending a day out and about in Kilcoy, this was a quick park and grab on the way home. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice n easy, just starting to rain on this cool winters day. Didn’t see Mary or her smoke.
Log signed and put back. All good here

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

All Good .. TFTC ..

On our drive out of Kilcoy today we decided to see if Mary was still smoking
A quick find in a logical place, and we were able to park very close to GZ.
Thanks for this cache!

Found with MrDeb. TFTC.

Picked a lovely bunch of yellow and swung in here in the way back to Brissy.

Lots of traffic so take care at GZ! Back in Mary’s day it would have quieter along this stretch.

TFTC BRBE53

Bit scary with so many cars rushing by! TFTC!

Today was a work trip from Brisbane to Kingaroy for some work meetings and back again. After the work meetings were done, my work colleague and caching collaborator was good enough to drive and stop to let me find a few caches along the way. Thanks for the interesting listing. There was another car parked nearby but it left before I went to look for the cache. No problems there. Found pretty much in the first place I looked. TFTC, Biggles.
