Awesome place. Thanks for the hide!

Just for the attributes.
Found it after a while of searching around.
Thanks for hiding.

Interesting spot. TFTC

We were thinking about giving up on this one when Mr Herbz wandered further afield and found it. TFTC

Our journey south begins, somewhat reluctantly as we have been enjoying the warm weather and we know it is still cold and wet in Victoria.
It was only a short journey from Maryborough to Kilkivan but some well placed caches with good parking enabled us to collect caches on the way. There was only one we had to pass as we could not find a place to pull up. Lots of traditionals, but good sizes and in great condition.
On arrival at Kilkivan we set up camp and had some lunch before heading off to complete the Adventure Lab in town. Then is was off up one of the trails on Mudlo Road through the National Park and beyond. Some great countryside and worth the trip. Again good sized caches in the main in good condition. We got to use our TOTT we are becoming more proficient with but missed one that seemed to be gone.
A big day again, so we both should sleep well tonight!

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Sweet-Sour.

Ge you can not see the old bridge from the road , quick walk in found it cache high and dry

Found on the edge in sandals cycling north. Tftc

Heading north today from Gympie via the back roads to Tiaro and picking up cahes along the way and this was one of them. I parked nearby and once at GZ the cache was soon in hand and after signing the log all was returned as found.

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

Nice quick find while driving and caching in the area thanks for the cache

Great cache

Found with bonkers and shush

We reckoned we had an idea of where this was but it involved a bit of walking through long grass, and dodging spider webs etc but eventually we were in the right place. Cache found after a short search. Log signed. TNLN. Thanks to CO for bringing us on this little history tour.

TFTC. We had not been out in a little while and with a new souviner in the offing we decided to head out along the Netherby Road and then circle back to Maryborough via Bauple. We had not been along these road previously so it was a leisurely trip. We attempted and found 22 caches in the Tiaro-Gundiah-Bauple area. Thnaks to the CO’s for putting these out so we could explore the area.

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

30/6/21 Staying in Tiaro and seeing the sighrs and grabbing some caches. Great searching along old railway tracks. I am on holidays from Mackay. Rainy weather today. TFTC SL

Another one that had us going to and fro but we did get there in the end. SL TFTC

Tftc Sweet-Sour, we are staying in Maryborough for a few more days.
Headed out this way today to collect a few smilies.

The old bridge is looking a bit worse for wear

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 **60** 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.

Some serious history here, found as the rain started to fall.

Thanks for the cache **Sweet-Sour**

Nice easy find here. I did this early in the morning in a pair of thongs so it wasn’t too challenging.
Cache is in excellent condition.
I visited 4 TB.
TFTC.

With two of us searching for this cache I took the high side, while geomum walked along the roadside. She spotted GZ but didn’t have gps to zone in, after she joined me we soon had the cache in hand!

On our drive from Maryborough to Brisbane today, we decided to take this back road and collect a few geocaches along the way.
A short step or two up the steep embankment where we could see the remnants of a road. A little walk backwards and we soon had the container in our hands and the log signed.
Nice to be on the back roads, as it is always an interesting way to travel.
Thanks sweet-sour,
Domsky 


What a delightful find of a piece of rail history. Thanks

A bit hairy getting to the cache. But all good.

Heading from Brisbane to Bundaberg and decided to take this detour and collect along this country road. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches to enhance our enjoyment of caching.

Out and about caching today on the way to Bundaberg. Decided to do these caches west of Bauple. Thoroughly enjoyed finding these caches in the countryside. Caches were found and logs signed. TFTC Sweet-Sour.

TFTC smile 6923 out and about with miss Millie geo dog on our way to Bargara for a event had a great time lots of rain first three days



Thank you, sweet - sour, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

On my way to Brisbane to visit family I thought I’d make a little detour. TFTC.
This can be slippery so be careful.

Easy find

Starting a 2 week RV trip around our local area, on our way to Theebine Hotel for the night & picked up this cache along the way. TFTC

Found quickly on the way home.

Georode

This series of 5 caches along Netherby Rd have given me fits a few times due to lack of coverage and a weak GPS reading. After no luck with the Sunlander Ghost I found this one rather easily. TFTC

Out and about with Dad(aka Sweet&Sour) I'm still doing his maintenance checks
This cache is all good
Tftc

Truly fun finding this one

Hooray thanks for share DeafVW

No ghost but a cache instead

Quick find on the way to the old road/rail bridge

12/1/20
Found with Nyssaflutterby on our escaping reality for the weekend road trip!
We had a plan to find the most caches in a day for both of us (for me just 52, for Nyssa 122!) so after completing a trail we continued on caching for the rest of the day. We could have found a lot more but the heat was against us.
Nyssa thought we were in the wrong spot but I spotted the cache not far away.

Wombles and I were on a mission today. A week ago I had a crazy idea of trying to better my top finds in a day. So this is how we found ourselves in this part of QLD. With a new power trail available it was the perfect place. We had just completed all of the available 101 series and now only needed about another 20ish caches.

After stopping off in Tiaro for CAKE! <3 we decided to take this back road to pick up the last few smileys that were needed. Plus who doesn’t love exploring old rail lines!? We arrived at GZ and I thought for a moment we might need to be down there. Thankfully wombles spotted the beasty before I made a mad scramble down the bank.

Thanks for the smiley Sweet-Sour

On our way home to Landsborough after spending a few great days caching in the Maryborough Area. Another good cache from these CO's. TFTC Sweet-Sour

Thanks for the cache and some History about the site. you would never know about the Railway just driving past on the road

Quick find. Tftc

Found without problems. It's surprising how many trains run past this spot. Many thanks Sweet-Sour for placing a cache here.

Not as easy as some but OK. TFTC.

I think it's thanks for the cache. 2 diamonds.

My caching buddy is Oddiewan ️

Having a fine weekend up in Maryborough. The weather could not be more perfect. There are so many caches here to be found. Thank you for hiding the cache to allow us to enjoy this lovely region.

My caching partner is Semik. While on the way home from Maryborough we thought we would do some caching to break up the trip.
TFTC

Initially I took the high road to this one, but changed my mind and went low. Could have stuck with the original plan, but such is life.

Moving on today after some overnight rain, it was a case of sometimes having to wade through very long, very wet grass this morning, along with ilook4geo. It was a bit of a hit and miss day. Some caches we found OK, but some on the list we had to miss, as they were along a section of road where road works were happening and muggle workers were operating machinery at various points.
There was no problem with this one and all was in good condition. It was an easy find. Thank you Sweet - Sour for placing this cache.

The day started off wet and showery this morning, but cleared as the day went on. The caching still happened with goingplaces2 and we had to leave some due to road works. All caches were replaced as found. TFTC.

Kilkivan Cache-up stay Day 3:
Another early start, leaving Kilkivan and heading up through Gundiah and Tiaro before a few hours in Maryborough to find some caches and attend a New Year's event, then heading home.

Great spot here, you really had me living on the edge . Adding a fave.

Nice find

Making our way home from Hervey Bay to Redcliffe, Mrs Woodyrothwell and I were having a lazy caching day. That meant drive-bys. I saw this trail after we had stopped in Tiaro to donate some coffee to the public facilities.

We pulled up at the first cache and the phone said we had about 90 metres to walk. We looked at each other and said, "Nah!!" When I said lazy, I meant lazy. We set a rule then that if we couldn't park within 40 metres of a cache we would keep driving.

This was our first cache on the trail and had to duck and weave through some plants to get it. We did manage not to fall into the gully. tftc

We have set up camp Tiaro. Todays trip is out along the the Gundia Deviation trail as far as Glenwood & return.
A good variety of locations & caches. found.
Thanks for placing this cache Sweet-Sour

Interesting old railway. .. got it TFTC

We came across your cache, Sweet-Sour, while on our way home from a few days on the Cap Coast .

Well we got to this one even if it was from the other side of the line.

Log signed and cache replaced at 2:49 PM on May 31, 2018. TFTC.

We parked on the side of the road and walked back to GZ. No need to cross the fence stop there and use geocaching eyes. TFTC

Tftc...lunch now...

Located quickly enjoying exploring the area plenty of life in the beams still
All good with the cache

We sampled the Gunidah deviation today as a break from highway driving between Rocky and Bribie on day 2 from Charters Towers. We do this trip annually after Christmas and Gympie to Marybrough is one of the least fav sections. This cache was quickly located and in good nick, interesting relics, took the trackable ducks. Thanks again Sweet-Sour.

Interesting old railway corridors.

Out caching today with friends BirdsvilleTrack. Lovely scenery and we enjoyed finding the cache in this location. Made a day of it and had lunch at one of the country pubs. Thanks to Sweet-Sour for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Left one of the trackables we collected in the USA to bring into Australia to continue its travels.

Found it on the way to Hervey Bay. Tftc

Yeahhh found it also very quickly on the way to Hervey Bay...tftc...

Out geocaching with geo family. 21st find for the day. TFTC

A day of geocaching with the family before I head home.

I grabbed this one while the girls stayed in the car

Taking the, ah, ghost train detour back from Bundy to Brissy today, and the next station today was here. Came at this the wrong way and then on a re-reccy worked out I was originally closer to it anyway. Oh, well, nice spot.
Thanks for placing this cache, Sweet-Sour. Found in good condition.
*{Overall find #5354}*

Well this one had me down the bottom and geohusband up the top. Needless to say, on this occasion geohusband grabbed it. TFTC

Tftc eagle eyes lcoll112 spotted this from afar! Love the spot

TFTC

Finding the history of the old rail corridors interesting thanks to the notes - we walked in the bush to find this well hidden cache in it excellent hiding spot.
TFTCSweet-Sour

Gotcha

A fun stop and stroll to find the remains of the olde road bridge
The original bitumen is still visible on the abutment

The cache was an easy find while trying hard to not fall over the edge

TFTC.

Found it on my way back home.Tftc

On our way back home from wonderful holidays around Airlie Beach and Rockhampton. Enjoyed sightseeing, meeting fellow cachers and getting smilies.

Now on a little caching detour.

Tftc Sweet Sour

Phew glad we were here in winter time tftc

On our way to Brisbane we decided to attempt some of the caches along this route. Dropped a pathtag.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Out and about today with a view to finish where I left off on the Crazy Flying Machines and others further North

Thanks for the great cache and adventure Sweet-Sour

Wow old rails there got signed and returned same place TFTC

TFTC. On our way back from Yepoon. Had lunch at the pub on the way. Keen to get home so only one done today.

Took a bit of time exploring this historical site. Trying to figure out why they moved the road.
All good with the cache.

such old structures drive by you'll miss the history easy find

Found Ok

Travelling around Australia and currently staying in Tiaro, Queensland for a few days .

Headed out with a list of nearby caches and places to explore today. An early start as we were expecting 34degrees today. Interesting day visiting some small towns and following the old railway line.

All caches on our list were found We found your cache with good coords and in good condition. Log signed then we replaced the cache where we found it.

TFTC Sweet-Sour

Parked and made my way to this one albeit I am not sure it was the easiest as I have a few scratches on my arms . Still I managed to get there and sign the book .
Signed logbook 6/10/2016 4:15 pm and replaced all as found.

found it

(FTF) I had it in the caching plan to come to Gympie today to do the (13) new ones that this CO had placed. I contacted Keith (Sweet-Sour) to see if he wanted to come for a drive as I anticipated he had at least two of his hides to maintain and he accepted the offer. Checked the internet last night and saw a new hide in Maryborough and 8 more from Sweet-Sour. Apologies for cut and paste logs as I have a lot to write.

I do not actively chase ftf but I will take them if I come across one or two or three or more. 38 hides in the plan today. 36 finds, 1 did not attempt as I did not have a ladder with me, and one
( The emperor ) I did not go out of my way to attempt as it was now dark on our return to Gympie.

No DNF's but came awfully close to one or two but persistent paid off. Left home at 0545 and arrived at the residence of Sweet-Sour at 0615. 486klmn drive today, home to home, and arrived home at 2000hours. Long day but there were many breaks along the way. We drove from Gunalda to Maryborough to Wolvi then to Cooran then to Kin Kin then to Mapleton then Amamoor then back to North of Gympie.

This was the next one in the plan and did not take long to find at all. Sweet-Sour tended to walk slightly away from each GZ leaving all the hard work to me and that is what should happen as it gives the CO a good chance to check his placed co ordinates. Keih and I nearly allways have a gapof about 3 meters. Not too difficult toi find with good co ordinates. I still do paper caching and only load a few at a time into my GPSr. Have the smart phone as a backup now but initially I was not going to load the APP.

Very good hide and I really did enjoy finding this one. Thanks for the company and TFTC Sweet-Sour.
