Where's Wally? Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia
By soph_cox on 12-Jul-16. Waypoint GC6NAWF

removed geocache

needs maintenance

Another shire checked off on my hitchhiking journey to Perth. Most definitely not a D1/T1. I'll admit geocaching is more difficult when you're with people who have never done it or aren't interested.

First find today. Now I'm off to Mt. Isa!

On the way to Normanton. Tftc

Glad I’m not short. Thanks

Wally even made it easy with a tool nearby. Thanks Wally after a long drive from Karumba. Found with NutCacheBNE

There you are

Hi there sose89.

We found your cache **"Where's Wally?"** today.

We're full time grey nomads, currently avoiding COVID hot spots on our way to QOGM in Cunnamulla. Today we cached around Cloncurry and found 9 caches in a variety of container types and sizes (& DNF'd 0).

Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache near where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log are in good shape.

This is definitely not a 1/1 cache. A wheelchair person could not reach.

We said hey we stayed there last night at the same time thanks for a great hide

Found with sneakytash a couple days ago.

Found 22.8.21 with sneaky mus

Off to Wally World, tftcsl

On my trip up north to find some warmer weather and I have finally found it.
Shorts and short sleeves is the way to go.
In Cloncurry for a couple of days and seeing all of the sights and of course picking up a few caches as I go.
I have noticed plenty of signs around Cloncurry pointing to Where’s Wally and I have finally been able to spot and then catch up with him.

Thanks Sophia_Cox TFTC

Yep, Wall’s all good thanks sose.

Wally odd always hard to spot. But once you do spit him you can’t unsee him. TFTC

Day 3 of our tour around Queensland. Today saw us heading from Longreach to Cloncurry picking up this, that and anything else that we came across.

On our way back into Cloncurry we stopped off at this one. When we were heading to the dam Mr Policeman was sitting right at GZ so we were happy to see the area vacated on our return journey. Once at GZ we used Eskies5 height to make the retrieval and sign our names. TFTC soph_cox

Day 3 of 8 (Longreach to Cloncurry) of a Queenslander road trip with Kestal, clocking just over 4000km, to tick off boxes for different challenges. After checking in to our motel we headed out to grab a few caches around Cloncurry. Going by the terrain rating it wasn’t in the place we thought. Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC soph_cox

Easy once you climb on the apparatus!

found wally

Heading out of Mount Isa towards Hughenden today and stopped to grab some caches along the way and this was one of them. I parked nearby and once at GZ the cache was soon in hand.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Cool hiding spot, travelling through to Mount Iaa after a weekend away in Julia Creek.

An overnighter in Cloncurry today. Stopped at a lovely caravan park and ventured out around town to grab the caches. Arrived at GZ and after reading previous comments that the container may be missing, after checking no cache was found. We have replaced the container, in a spot at GZ,

Searched all possible spots, couldn’t find

Looked for ages and could not find it ️

After camping at Porcupine Gorge last night, I continued my journey west towards Mount Isa, checking out the various towns and caches along the way.

Its been almost 3 weeks since I left Adelaide on a trip north in search of some warmer weather and I’ve really been enjoying the changing landscapes and visiting new places.

Where’s Wally indeed! After a good search in all the likely places I had to conclude that Wally has gone!

Looked where we thought but not there..

There was only one dnf when i had a search for this over a week ago..
Nice to see i'm not alone in my blindness.
Sorry for the late log..

Found what we suspected was retrieving tool but no log.

Today was my third attempt at this cache and sadly came up empty again. Fairly sure I’m looking in the correct location given all the clues in the logs.

Beginning to think I’m not so good at this

Found it although the cap wasn’t sealed on tightly so the paper inside the tube was all wet and soggy .

Wallys got a damp log

My muggle husband and I are on our way from Brisbane to Mt Isa and after our stay overnight at Winton we decided to find a few more smileys. Love the theme of this cache and lucky I have a tall husband. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

TFTC

Quick find before flying home for the week.

TFTC one for geohubby, his height came in handy again

Found easily enough..however even with the provided retriever was still not easy. Needs a higher T rating. Thanks

Day 353 Today we made our way from this wonderful place of Cloncurry to Winton and before hitching up we made the quick trip to the GZ and a quick find was made and we go underway for the trip today.

Thanks soph_cox for bringing us here to cache.

Thanks Soph_. Thanks for placing the cache. Thought Wal was on holidays but Found it on our way into the Curry, 2 day stay hope to get a couple more caches.

Wally? We lived some weeks near Kuranda and the Wallaroo there had the nickname Wallace. The cache was an easy one.
TFTC

I am staying at Wally’s Camp and it is excellent. I found the cache and used to tool provided to get it. Love caching in Cloncurry.

Staying at Wal's camp ground I thought it only proper to go and find and sign this cache.
Used the tool available.

Had to stretch but grsbbed it. TFTC.

Easy find

Fun find, definitely bring shoes

Thankyou...lots of fun finding someone as tall as Wally.

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Need a bit of height for this one

Tenkae's Outback Adventure Day 5 - heading west and grabbing a few caches along the way. Tftc

First find! TFTC

Quick easy find while on holidays in outback Qld

Felt quite daft having a go at this one as there was a highway patrol car sitting right on the verge of the road. Undeterred I got a boost from Mr Youban and soon we were onour way to the next cache. Kutgw

Quick stop on a cold windy morning on our road trip to Darwin. Managed to grab between traffic.

Found quickly on the way into Cloncurry as we continue to head east. TFTC soph_cox

Continuing on our trek east grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.
Took me forever to get the cache out of its hidey hole

Leaving Cloncurry on our way to Normanton and Karumba, on our trip from Brisbane, and thought we’d do one last cache here. Geokid found very quickly.
Squeezed our details on scroll not realising another one there too.

Nice easy find as we turn off to head up to Burke and Wills Roadhouse. TFTC

Log is full

Cool area great for a cache. Nice hide. Log is full but we manage to squeeze on. Tftc

After attending the show at the Stockman's Hall of Fame the previous night then driving out of town to the free camp there which was very popular, we were back on the road again this morning heading for Mt Isa.
We stopped where parking was possible for caches that were close to or just off the road on our way collecting as many as we could.
A wonderful way to come across a range of monuments and features that would otherwise be missed. We also enjoy the stories and anecdotes that go with some.
This was the first cache for quite a while on our travels. We turned the corner and pulled into the gravel area not far from a highway policeman keeping his eye on the road.
Despite our searches and stretches he wasn't interested in us and left us untroubled.
