Old Family Tree Harlaxton, Queensland, Australia

Found on ground. No log book and unfortunately nothing to replace it with us. Container wet.

Not able to maintain this one in a timely manner

Tftc. Log is extremely wet!

Caching with BCWebbclan. Found cache but log is beyond writing on. Very wet and mouldy looking.

LadySim walked to this one from the last, and I (being the incapacitated one post surgery brought the car around. Another in the YOF Name cache meant a visit, though sadly a little damp and will need CO intervention. Thanks for the cache.

In Toowoomba for long weekend with Swellerfungus.
Just wandered over from previous cache to find this one. Cache container was full of water so I tipped it out, took the TB (thought the sheep might like to dry out a bit), but left the bag with log intact. Didn’t open it so I wouldn’t destroy it if salvageable but took pic of cache and will send to owner. Definitely needs replacement log.
Thanks for this hide.

Nice spot logbook needs updating paper is soggy.

Found. Still a bit of moisture in it, though I have tried to reset the seal. Signed as CA 7 Feb

Tftc, replaced some log sheets

Super easy find, however could not sign log as everything extremely wet.

As per my previous note. If some kind soul does not replace this log I will have to archive it as I will not be there till mid march 2021.

Quick and easy find and cool hiding place. Found with Gabster and Moo

I can not get to this one till March so if someone could fix it before then I would appreciate it or I will have to archive it.

Nice easy find even with a few small muggles playing in the park.
Unfortunately, this one has had quite a bit of water in it. Have logged maintenance.

This one has had a fair amount of water through it and the zip lock bag was not sealed. Probably needs a new bag & logbook.

Found, but log drenched due to lid not being secured correctly.

Cheers

Bundy

Quick find on a very steamy day.

Found while visiting the area Thanks for the cache Cheers

Another quick find whilst in Toowoomba. Nice quiet park and a nice breeze on a hot day. Tftc

I was able to park the mobile close to this cache and quickly had my name in the log.

Sunday. Out today in the Toowoomba region to find some caches and we came up to this cache, so decided we couldn’t let it go by without claiming a smiley on it. Mrs 4ando did all the signing for us on this one (and all the others as well that we found today )

This was the 8th of 15 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***youngoldfella*** for showing us this place

Visiting Toowoomba and finding a few caches around the area.

Out and about with slow puncture, getting caches from home all the way too Toowoomba. Great to spend a day again finally with the SP’s.

I’m starting to think that time is not a constant. Whenever you are waiting around for beer o’clock and look at your watch the seconds definitely tick down more slowly. When you are waiting for your wife to calm down after eating the last tim-tam the clock moves noticeably slower. However, when the pub has specials during a happy hour you’ve never seen time disappear so fast.

We were filling in time until dinner and watching the clock. The only way to make time disappear quickly is to have fun and so we were caching. Next my mother rang me on the phone and time almost stopped. tftc

Found while on a day trip to Toowoomba... I’m beginning to think Toowoomba is a party place, as there’s balloons in most of the caches here... tftc... the unambiguous nature of the hint made me laugh...

All good here. Walking out on a very windy Sunday arvo

I AM GUR

Nice quick find for the Geo kids, although the geo 3yo needed a bit of a lift, 3rd of 4 targets for this afternoon.
Smiley for our log and smileys for the kids.

Good fun find. Did not write on log sorry as our pen didn't work.

Sorry for the late log just catching up on caches from that trip now!

Nice park. Good view! Tftc.

I think this one had fallen out of its original
Spot so I stumbled upon it by accident

Found it!!

Fourth day of our visit to Toowoomba to attend Brother Colin's event today and the weather has improved heaps from yesterday so we did some caching around Highfields before heading west and afterwards some rural searching. Thanks to all the COs for placing these caches for our enjoyment.

Visiting Toowoomba and districts further north and west for a long weekend of caching. The weather has been changeable all weekend however this did not stop us caching. The caches we found were in some great spots and I thank all CO's for placing them there. Apologies for the generic log. TFTC

Our last day for caching in the Toowoomba area and this is one we targeted this morning. Yesterday was a bit messy with the weather but a beautiful day out again. We are up here for the event in Oakey put on by Brother Colin and so after finding a few caches we'll be heading there. Thanks youngoldfella for placing this for us and others to find. Log signed with JooJoo57 and RichmondLad.
Cheers and happy caching.

Found by Mary and David at 0830. Wish we knew the name of this one,. A beautiful old specimen, with such tactile bark. Makes M think of that old song "I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a tree." Our thanks to youngoldfella.

Nice find. TFTC

Had a friend visiting from Noosa, so what do you do with visitors? show them around the area, especially when trying to convince them to move to the toowoomba region, unfortunately, a few days logging, so catching up where I can, we drove past and did a quick stop and grab for a smiley, thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache!! Beautiful view of Toowoomba from this park

Thanks for the find! Nice and easy but nearly got muggled a couple of times

TFTC! Another easy find! Although, which tree? Then when at GZ, I could just see the cache, but how was I going to reach it? Nothing that tippytoes and a stretch reach could not grab!

Nice easy find tftc

I am slightly vertically challenged but still managed to do a jump and grab

Found this one today on a rainy Sunday collecting some caches in town.

Georode

It was good to find one again. Been getting a few DNFs and have been beaten to the find by my caching buddy demi293.

The name says it all. Nice hide.

Our 300th cache!

Being of the vertically challenged variety I knew I might have a bit of trouble with this one but I thought 1.5m would be okay .... nope, had to employ use of a nearby object to help with cache retrieval. Found on a lovely evening, saw a beautiful sunset as I left here before the rain set in again.

TFTC

Cache still in good condition

Hi there youngoldfella.

We wanted to attempt some Toowoomba central caches on a quiet Sunday. Well how wrong were we, the traffic was probably busier than a working day and there were muggles everywhere. Nevertheless we thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route. We nearly got blown away by the strong wind when we left the car; so we decided that a nice warm spot for lunch would be a much better idea after signing the log.

We found 8 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 6m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Still nice and quiet here this morning. A couple walking by with their little hound, but the coast was clear after that.

No trouble reaching this one.

Just bought a new god and had to try it out. Easy find tftc

Found with cheekybum_15...tftc...

Found this with the snakepiters tftc

Caching around Toowoomba for a few days. Found this one on the ground. The birds were complaining so maybe they kicked it out. Signed and replaced where we thought it should be. Dropped another TB.

Thanks youngoldfella and greetings from New Zealand

It was about this point upon entering the T'ba that MM and I were debating if we stay on the hill or go over the range to collect a few caches. I think common sense won out on this very warm day after encountering Manuel Labor at Cooyar. Good to have a few drive-bys and the reward of an air conditioned car to go back to.

Great selection of trinkets in the cache and enjoyably quick find. Thanks youngoldfella for placing this cache.

We were starting to flag round this point and decided to stick to the easy to get to caches on this section of the journey. Someone (that would be moi) forgot to take a mattock out to the block and so the tree planting part of the trip was hot n sweaty Good thing the local has beer

A quick find not far from the road and even offered help by a dog-walking muggle.

TFTC YOF!

Nice shady spot on a hot afternoon, TFTC

We completed the remaining 15 solved caches in the SSE this morning and headed into town, stopping for coffee en route to the east side of town. Quick find quiet park, all good thanks youngoldfella.

On arriving at this unexpectedly delightful park I was immediately distracted by a pair of rainbow lorikeets feeding hatchlings in a tree hollow. It really made my day
Retrieving the cache was a challenge for a vertically challenged person like myself - that is definitely higher than 1.5 metres!
Cache slightly damp but otherwise in good condition. Added plenty of swaps.

Tftf!

Tftf! Sweet container!

Gotcha !!! TFTC Visited Travellers.

Nice quiet park. A few people walking their dogs. I was a bit worried about magpies before I got out of my car, but there didn't seem to be any.
TNLF Thanks for the cache.

The title is a great clue, drove up and there it was in plains view, I hope it's a bit more obscured now. I did not leave the destructive tyre marks.

Had a great dinner. Recommend muller bros to anyone in the area. 2nd time there and love it.now a couple quick finds before home to bed. Tftf

So close to home. Tftc

Nice easy find. Tftc

Love a quick find after longer searches! Tftc

Late afternoon walk, decided to see if there was a Geocache close by. Found this one fairly easy. A pleasant prize to find.

Beautiful views!!

Toowoomba Day 4
We toured the town following the geocaching trail. This took us to lots of parks & places with some great views.A good variety of caches found.
Thanks for placing this cache youngoldfella

Find No: 6138. Visiting from Newcastle, on the way home from Darwin, thanks for the cache youngoldfella!!

Nice tree and nice little park! People there for mother day lunch! Got signed and returned same place! TFTC

Found with Mum as 'Jess & Caro'. She is now Carø and I now have my own geocaching profile so we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!

Nice quick stop by a lovely park. All is good with this cache. Signed log, TFTC!

TFTC... 9/4/17. Almost gave up with it but persistence paid off. With Geokid Tobias.

Thanks all is good

Out and about for a drive with Fangsoki and we were heading back to Brisbane and decided to find a few caches in Toowoomba on the way.

Most of the caches we had found during the day had been found previously by Fangsoki and he mentioned that he had found one here previously but was surprised when we headed in a different direction.

I pointed out the cache to Fangsoki as we approached and it was a quick recover. I replaced the cache so that it is out of sight of muggles.


TFTC youngoldfella

Crew 153 and I pulled up for this cache next.

Crew 153 had done a bang up job of picking caches I had already done. And when I saw this park, I thought he'd done it again. But apparently not. A new cache here apparently!

We spotted the prize a bit of a way off. I think the weather may have been a culprit. We signed the log and admired the little unusual container. The cache was in good condition. A nice little place to visit again. TFTC youngoldfella
