Hi CDAH55,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

With all the DNFs on this one it may need a check by the CO.

Went round and round and round with no success

On the way home from Goomeri stopped for a look. Had a good search around the edges, not in the garden but could not spot anything.

Saw the DNF's but stopped anyway. No luck for me today.

Maybe next time.

Thanks for the hunt.

We had a decent look around here in the dark while waiting for RACQ to come to the rescue! No luck here though this evening.

We walked around four times and then started digging around all the edges of the garden but left cracking the sads I hope we can come back one day to rectify. Thanks anyway

I was lucky to catch a glimpse of this one as it was, I thought, in a bit of an odd place. TFTC CDAH55.

Oooh, sneaky! Found it on mg third circuit.

Found - tricky hide, but coords out by about 6 meters.

Good day out with Selva Girls around the Gympie area today to pick up some caches. I needed this one. Another quick find. TFTC

Found it

Well we gave this a good try, but started to feel we were going 'round the bend', so in the end I just had to give up

Round and round alright

I'm with Dad(aka Sweet&Sour) for a drive.
I'm filling in the Smiles
Tftc Nice and dry

Round and Round before I found it. TFTC on Leap Year Weekend.

Thanks quick find while stopped night

Our last day of caching in Kilkivan. Today we headed out to Widgee and Glastonbury. Another great day, we found all the caches that we looked for. They were all good sized containers which made finding them easy.
TFTC

Found while staying in the kilkivan area for about a week before heading for the big smoke down south. Having noticed that there was a lot of new caches placed in the area I set about converting some of them to smileys. This is of of the many I have found so far. All were easy find with no maintenance issues. TFTC

We circumnavigated the garden in opposite directions but came up empty handed. On Mr. Herbz 2nd loop he made the find. TFTC.

On our way home after spending a great weekend in Kilkivan finding some caches. Walked round in an anti-clockwise direction and the cache was virtually back where I started from. TFTC CDAH55

A few circles around had us signing the log in a quiet place today. All good with this cache. Thanks

21/4/19 515pm Found it TFTC SL

Out and about with 1MinnieMoo and wombles today for a fun adventure around the Gympie area.
This one was spotted in record time, left our scribble and continued one.

Thanks for the cache CDAH55

NyssaFlutterby, Wombles&Co and I had headed out for a holiday Wacky Wednesday up north today, and arrived at this cache with Wombles&Co and I scratching ourselves silly, suffering the effects of itchy grubs at a previous cache.
Cache found quickly then we were off on our way back to the other cache that we had just driven past.
Thanks for the cache CDAH55.

Having a day out up Gympie way chasing caches, stopped off for a coffee at the shelter and a search around for the find. Thanks CDAH55.

Hi there CDAH55.

Today's venture had us heading from Gympie to (Upper) Widgee bag a few caches along the road.. All up we found 21 caches & DNF'd 1.

Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia. Thanks also for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this regular sized cache here.

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

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Took my sister out geocaching for her birthday. Tftc

After lunch in Widgee, I was determined to come back to this one.
I bet I find it quick smart this time by the time Geopartner visits the facilities nearby.
A quick find by me as Geopartner had not even made it to the door.
Signed the log and returned it to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks CDAH55 All good with this cache

We have set up camp at Chatsworth Park. Todays trip to us out away from the hustle & Bustle of town.
We drove along many winding rural roads. Spttings some of the local animal life. A very pleasant morning out finding many large containers which is quiet unusual nowdays.
A good variety of locations & caches found.
Thanks for placing this cache CDAH55

Almost gave up on this one and then booyah we found nd it tftc

Thank you

Sorry for the late log thought I logged it on my return from the Xmas in July in Widgee, But no.
My second attempt on this little devil. Thanks for a great cache

This Day in Music
1966, The Beatles released the ‘Nowhere Man’ 4-track EP in the UK, which included: ‘Drive My Car’, ‘Michelle’ and ‘You Won't See Me’. All four tracks were taken from The Beatles sixth UK studio album, Rubber Soul.

I was guided to the cache by a voice in the distance which I was told was kaleidoscopeCass. TFTC

First cache today for the July Widgee Event weekend...cruising around Widgee with teamDFL. Oops I just took the 4wd straight up the lawn to the garden, did not even think, my bad, just got excited to test the new truck out...lol. We could see where everyone had looked for this cache as all the lawn clippings were shuffled in. Cache eventually found by team dfl and log signed by both of us. Tftc CDAH55

We looked and looked and could see where others had already been so we kept looking. We were about to give up when other cachers arrived so we continued the search - success! TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. One of a few caches we found near Widgee after attending the nearby event. TFTC

Round and round the mulberry bush we go! Eventually we got it.

Took a bit of searching but eventually spotted the well hidden container. The grass clippings had substantially increased the cover. TFTC!

I think this one gets played pass the cache as we searched everywhere for it.
Was at the Event and asked for a hint and it was not where directed either.
Lots found in the morning but we had no luck when we arrived in the afternoon.
Back later

Staying at Widgee for the weekend and attending an event here. Now I was off for an afternoon run with Sambuccasam.

This one had us doing a couple of laps round the garden. It was well covered.

With a fellow cacher with good eyes and a better gps...tftc...

Found it TFTC team nicnax

Logging this cache a week after we found it (on Friday afternoon), now home after our adventures and am having a giggle at all of the logs from finders after us. Co-ords seemed to have us on one side of the garden but keen geosenses from geohubby WallabyTim soon had the cache in hand. We returned to the park on Sunday morning to see off my Dad who had camped here the night, when I spotted someone doing circles in the garden. I cooee'd out and pointed to send them in the right direction. They were so close but then turned around and went the other way. "Nooooo" I sung out so they went back to the right area and soon found it. Just remember, as it says in the description or hint, no need to go in the garden! Definitely helps narrow the search. TFTC

Found this cache with my Amazing Geo-Wife KaleidoscopeCass during our 6 day roadtrip starting off with the Geocaching for Newbies event held at Widgee, Qld. Cache was found and signed and logged, Thanks for placing this cache and being a part of our journey!

Found it with bikesu.Tftc

Enjoying holidays with our grandaughter. Following playgrounds and sometimes caches. Now on the way to the July Event in Widgee. Tftc

Soon discovered - TFTC

A quick walk around here soon revealed the cache.

Drove up from Canberra, for a much needed holiday staying with my parents in Caloundra ... Up here for a few weeks (Christmas, and most of January
My parents didn't have any plans for this weekend/NYE so I figured I would come up for the Geocaching weekend at Widgee ... glad I did - 3 days of fun!
After arriving here Friday evening, and staying up way too late, I took up the offer of a seat in the powellbruce Geomobile with Sweet-Sour and youngoldfella, and we headed for the hills for an adventure, then worked out way through all but one of the Saturday list of Sweet-Sour's caches he had hidden for the event, and then, because the Sunday list was also published early, we went and found most of those as well - the most first to finds I have ever got in one day - lol
Today, Sunday, I again headed off with powellbruce and youngoldfella to find the rest of the caches on the Sunday list and drive up to grab the far away one that was on the bottom of Saturdays list.
TFTC - first for the day ... the others had already found this long ago, but we stopped near here for yof to hide something else - so I took the opportunity to grab this while we were nearby

8015 Caches Found

Not this trip anyway

Thanks for the adventureCDAH55

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Spending a couple of days at the 2017 event at widgee. getting out early to find some of last years caches. Made for an interesting morning when & Co. went and done an ankle roll. but we still managed to get quite a few in for the morning. A beautiful day for caching.TFTC

Lovely day for a cache! Driven past this one many a time and finally got the chance to grab it. A lovely spot! TFTC

Tftc with lcoll112 the digs loved the stop and a chance to explore - on lead of course!

On our way from Manyung to Glastonbury caching as we travel. Hoping to get to Glastonbury Creek before the rain hits. Muggles camped nearby, but Mr D tried to explain to them what we were up to. As backpackers with not good English I doubt they understood, but they soon disappeared into their wizbang while we made an easy find. Unable to get the CITO event coming up soon, but picked up some rubbish anyway. Thanks CDAH55

Out and about doing some geocaching before I head home from my short trip home. Was good to see new geocaches around the area.

A nice cache is a great park, I am a solid believer that every park needs a cache.

Tftc

Travelling from Biggenden to Gympie. Collecting smilies along the B roads. Thanks to CDAH55.

Found Ok

TFTC smile 3126# out and about with miss millie geo dog

Odd that this cache hasn't been found for three months !!
Not to worry !!
I found it today while sneaking around out of sight of the lunchtime muggles at the picinic shelter

Oh !! *That rock*

TFTC

Up from Brisbane with IolantheK to meet up with Brother Colin and camp for the long weekend at Brooyar [^] Caching and Rock Climbing not a bad combination [^]
Lots of driving on the dirt today around Widgee, Wrattens National Park
Loved the area around the abandon open cut mining at "Large Oasis", wow what a place. We'd continued on south Past "Hill Top" on a less travelled track till we meet up with the Black Snake Rd again, felt a bit like we were lost but we made it back to civilisation again
This one took some finding
TFTCs, Sweet-Sour

T-Tech and I are camping for the long weekend at Brooyar with Brother Colin, and today we are going caching. We spent an hour or so touring around Widgee, followed by several hours of 4WDing through Wrattens National Park, collecting 28 caches [^]

It took us ages to make this find, but after reading a few recent logs, we picked up on a good hint. However, it all came down to the meaning of the word "small"! T-Tech finally moved the right one. TFTC, CDAH55.

I am camping for the week-end just up the road at Glastonbury Creek Campsite with IolantheK and T-tech.
Today is the day allotted for geocaching, tomorrow we are rock climbing, and we headed out early and returned after dark. [^]
A couple of easy finds on the way to the more serious geocaching up in the hills.
A bit of reading logs and moving quite a few stones to find this one was now covered in mud (dry inside) as well as behind and under a few rocks.
Thanks for the cache.

I stopped here on my motorbike to have a bit of a rest on a very hot day. Just for luck on turned on my GPS and there was a cache 70 meters away. Thanks

Australia Day 2017, great day to be outside geocaching. Found after small search. Picked up the TB to move along.
TFTC
John and Terry

Stopped overnight here, logged in and... Yay. A couple caches nearby. Love it.
Dropped off a TB.

It is great to finally have some time to find those caches that were placed before and during the recent event at Widgee Showgrounds.
Last weekend I was too involved as host for the event, and also suffering from a stinking head cold, enough effort was spent staying alive.
Thanks Chris for placing a few of caches for the event, this being one. I did sign the log with the CO's permission before the event on the day of placement.

I did call in today to check on it survival during the event, evidently one of our players was having trouble finding it, and decided to rearrange the rocks around the garden bed. Re built the garden bed as best as I can.
The cache can be accessed by the removal of one small rock only.
All with the cache
TFTC CDAH55

Found it

We parked as close as possible to GZ. We circled the feature and I soon spotted a telltale sign where the cache was located. We signed the log and rehid the cache, ensuring that everything was placed back as it should be. TFTC

Today we are making our way home after a successful 2017 Newbies Event we attended at Widgee. After packing up (causing a late start because of the light rain) we made our way through Kilkiven, and some of the back roads to Nanango and Yarraman before journeying down Brisbane Valley through Ipswich to home. That way we avoided the car park on the Bruce highway with all the holiday traffic going home after the long weekend. Of course, we picked up quite a few geocaches along the way! Selva Girls forms the second in our two-vehicle convoy.

Pleasant little park - pity the actual garden area was not better maintained - that would be the icing on the cake for Widgee. Cache was soon found due to a tell-tale sign, but upon replacing the cache we returned everything to normal.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.35m on 2nd January 2017. TFTC

Out in the Gympie region while camping at the event at Widgee, we took the opportunity to have a look around and sample the local caches. This one was released as part of the event, so we grabbed it on the way past.

This cache is in good condition, and makes smilie #3085. Thanks **CDAH55** for showing us this spot. Feel free to discover our trackable TGQNRV .

Joint first to find.... Log to follow

Whilst attending the nearby event cache for Newbies I teamed up with Young old Fella to have a bit of fun trying to find the caches released for this event.

Day 2 few more to find fortunately this lot where down in the low land I had a convoy for this on and a very quick estimate between us we had over 40,000 finds so much so that most of the time we'd left the gps in the car and go a hunting with great success found relatively quickly.

TFTC

We decided to make a trip up to Widgee for the day to catch up with people attending the Newbies Event. We had a great time meeting some new people and spending the day with Liz & Bruce finding a few caches.

Thank you CDAH55 for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Out in the Gympie region for an event this weekend we picked up a few caches.

Met a lovely couple, who had spend a quite night in the resting area. They told us that other teams couldn't find the cache and were on their way to CO to check coords. We had a look anyway and soon the container was in our hands.

TFTC, CDAH55

I was one of many attending the Cache up for Newbies event based at the Widgee Showgrounds for the three days of the New Years weekend. The CO Keith Sweet-Sour certaily had everything in place and the only thing I did not like about the weekend was the number of times we drove up and down Widgee Moutntain Road as it got worse as more traffice went over it, but Hey thats the fun of this obsession. on Friday Sweet-Sour and myself went and placed two 4WD access only hides as I had the right vehicle and then on Satyurday I teamed up with Bruce from Powellbruce and we tackled the 31 remaining together. Bruce lives near Gympie and I live in Nanango and we are about the same distance from the top of the big hill so we will assist the CO in maintaining some of the tougher terrain hides.


We were the lead vehicle in a little 3 vehicle convoy for some hides down in the valley and thankfully away from the mountain top for the moment as Bruce and I had to go back up later to find the multi. Looked and found the container and signed the log. Now to go back to the showgrounds for a couple of hours then back up the hill to find the multi GZ. TFTC Sweet-Sour.

Published

Found during the Widgee 3 day event. We have really enjoyed the event where we met a great bunch of people and learnt so much TFTC Sweet Sour

Nice to get away from Maryborough for the day and get a few caches in this lovely part of Queensland. Thanks to CDAH55 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Joint FTF with Livid_in_Oz, Rhobocacher, Wombles &co., Sew Rainbow with one half of Slow Puncture bringing up the rear. Cache had not yet been published but we thought we would give it a go anyway and appropriately the newbie of the group Livid_in_Oz came up with the goods straight away for her first FTF which was exciting for her. Congratulations! TFTC xxx

Saturday. Today was the day to attend Sweet-Sour's '2017 Cacheup for Newbies' event at Widgee. Mr Slow Puncture only as Mrs SP had to work today

I was out with a group including RhoBoCacher, Wombles, Livin_in_oz, Sewrainbow and Echocage1. This one was on the list but had not yet been published. However, we thought that we would give it a go. I searched far and wide whilst the ladies searched nearer to where they had parked. What would I know? They had it found in less than a minute. A joint (FTF) and for the actual finder, their first ever! Congratulations.

This was the 4th of 10 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***CDAH55***, for showing us this place.

Out with wombles and co at the 2017 cacheup with the newbies event for a weekend of fun camping and of course caching we joined up with some other cachers Sew Rainbow, Livin_in_oz, Slow Puncture and Echocage1. This was a joint *ftf* and the actual finder's (Livin_in_oz) first one. This one hadnt been published yet but we just happened to stumble upon it anyway TFTC

Found this one just by pure luck and with Slow Puncture's idea of looking for an unpublished cache with no co-ordinates. Who needs co-ords?
Ended up being a very quick find, joint ftf with rhobocacher, sewrainbow, echocage1, livid in oz and slow puncture.

Not FTF

Quick easy find with CO, on a maintenance run on the way to the event.
