TFTC!!! Found with gorjess516 and rach_jean21

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.

Nice spot to sit and signe log. Tftc.

Log the log. Nice seat to write log. Cache all good, thanks.

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.

Another easy one found on this morning in the great outdoors. No trains came by while we found the cache and signed the log. TNLF. Thanks Sweet-Sour, we like your caches.

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

There was not a train in sight or to be heard while we were here. 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.

High and dry TFTC

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 **65** 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.

Good spot for train spotting, unfortunately didn't see any though, cache quickly found and in good condition

Thanks for the cache **Sweet-Sour**

This was a very easy find today. Tftc

Easy find, be careful when crossing the road

A lovely cache location for any keen train spotter.
Not a train in sight today, however we still enjoyed our walk to GZ and the nature around us. We soon had our name added to the log. Nice series.
Thanks sweet-sour.
Domsky 

Was a great find...especially with a very long goods train rolling by. Thanks

TFTC

Found it

We found and checked out the rail line.

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 6917 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

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.
Another quick find.

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.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any trains while doing this series. This would have been a great place to do a little train spotting. We did however find a cache and create another smiley for our maps.

Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour

On our way home to Landsborough after spending a few great days caching in the Maryborough Area. Wandered over to GZ and cache was soon found. TFTC Sweet-Sour

Quick find. Tftc

Saw another train !. Many thanks Sweet-Sour for placing a cache here for our enjoyment. Cache in good condition.

Nice easy find. TFTC.

Nice leasurelly stroll. TFTC

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

Managed to pedal right to this one. More paint on the road along this section too.

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.

Even though we had seen two freight trains between the trees on our drive, we didn't have the pleasure of one going past at GZ.

My wife was navigating and still trying to master the art of working out where the needle was pointing on the phone. She pointed in the general direction and said 45 metres that way. We could see where the cache would be and we started walking to it.

About halfway we stopped and it then dawned upon us this cache was outside the 40 metre limit we had set ourselves. We didn't know whether we should continue the next 20 metres to the cache, or stick to the keen principles we had set ourselves. We desperately have tried to install good values in our kids and continually reinforced in them to be true to themselves. There have been many times at the dinner table when our kids were very young that I would often say to them, never walk across the road by yourself, or more than 40 metres for a drive-by cache. We continued anyway and now I feel a visit to the confessional coming on. tftc

Nice view

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.
A good view of the railway line but we didn't spot any trains today.
Thanks for placing this cache Sweet-Sour

Nice and easy find but a lot of ants around. Signed the log and replaced cache as found. No trains passing until I was walking Bach to the car and then a super long train passed by. TFTC

No trains today. Cache is really card to get out of hiding spot.

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.

Missed seeing the train, maybe next time.

This was to be the last cache for the day and that I would share with my son "BadAssLongCoat" so it has a little extra meaning to me. Congrats on finding s many caches in such a short time son Not too bad for a beginner.
This cache was in a container that was just a little bit smaller than the description says it is but it is still just as easy to find and it's by our friend Sweet-Sour
Time for us to go home and get ready to go to Brisbane to catch the plane.

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.

Spent the day with Youngoldfella, he chasing my caches, me watching and having a little chuckle.
It is very entertaining watching others hunt for one's own caches, because they are using a GPS which tends to take them in a straight line.
"The hard way in and find an easy way out at the cache" I'd like a $ for every time I hear that, I've done it too. But to see it in real time is amusing.

Found the Cords a little too far out for my liking.

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. Another one where the Co was not happy with the posted co ordinates. this look and find by one with the CO watching seems to be working.

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 buit initially I was not going to load the APP. Thanks for the company and TFTC Sweet-Sour.

3rd FTF this morning on the Gundiah Deviation Trail. Great spot, saw some Scaly-breasted lorikeets which was a real treat for us.
Love your caches Sweet-Sour.

TFTC
