Managed to spot this one laying on the ground after getting out of the car to look for GCAEGBY. There was a small monitor lizard standing guard, so we set off down the path to search, but we came back after a group of Norman's (perhaps other cachers?) were stopped right where we intended to look. By this time the monitor had moved, and I moved in to check out the container I initially spotted. No clear signs of which listing the container was for, but a bit of sleuthing (matching logs/dates, narrowing down from theturnhams find, see photo) led me to this one. Team Benders FTF log matches as well.Love finding an archived cache like this in good condition.TFTC
Haven't been able to get back to his one and given it's been replaced several times I have decided it may not be the best location
No luck with this one, my gps isn't working the best jumping round, looked in the obvious spots to know avail!
Unfortunately this is our first one we didn't find. Maybe someone has removed.....BUNYIP
BEWARE - snake skin found with cache (spoiler alert for photo)
Be extremely careful retrieving this cache.
Otherwise cool find, awesome BBQ spot. Thanks for the cache!

Arrived to find a Range Rover emptying its rubbish into the bins provided. So sat and watched . . . Maybe having an audience freaked out this dumper as they hurriedly packed up and sent a trail of dusty road as they sped down the road.
While I was having morning tea, picked up the cache and went back to the car to sign the log. Thought the booty was going to be special but ended up only seeing rocks. Hope they become someone's pet and make them very happy. Thanks for placing this cache fireboo40.

TNLN but great start to the Pine Mountain Quarry Road treasures. Nice little hind & easy find.
Nice place. Nice hide. Signed log and replaced. Thank you very much for the cache.
Needed a traditional cache for today so headed down the hill from Toowoomba to save the remaining local ones. Straightforward find. Thanks fireboo400.
It was dark, but I had a headlamp with me, so finding this wasn't too hard, and I parked the car only 10 metres away 
. This looks like a a great place, somewhere I will ahve to check out during the day and take a few walks.
Thanks

First find after two years of non geocaching. Nothing like a trackable to get you back in the geocaching spirit. Brought a noob with me and he had beginners luck pointing it out right away. TFTC
We have frequently visited the small cemetery near the cricket pitch, but never ventured this side of Pine Mountain Road. What a delight to find this little reserve, complete with resident caches.
Had to remove a large 8 legged creature before opening the cache, and signed the log. No swaps today. TFTC, fireboo40.

Quiet and peaceful place. The cache is in great condition. TFTC the family loved this place!
Called in here on the spur of the moment when I noticed a group of caches in the bush, (my favourite adventure). Well, I parked the car and by golly the cache was almost next to the car. Quickly found in good order. Thanks fireboo40.
Grabbed this one before we started our challenge for the day.. Wheel of misfortune. Had a good walk around. Tftc You've been Bear'd
We set out from Toowoomba for a day of geocaching with WillPunkey and his little brother. Dropped a TB which i have had for too long
Hi there fireboo40. We are back in Queensland for a couple of days and staying in Ipswich at Motel Mel, so we headed out today for a walk to get rid of a little pent up energy, and we certainly did that as after this cache we headed off to the other caches near by.
We did not see a TB in this cache so hoping it shows up soon.

**# 17067** Found on the Qld leg of our 2017 winter escape trip. 
Another perfect warm Autumn day for a drive around while camped in the area.
Parked here to fnd the Wheel caches also.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly not too difficult hides.
Thanks for the cache fireboo40,

Found with remsjw, misssusan and bennyboppers out for a nice walk in the reserve. A quick find here. Tftc.
TFTC... 15/5/17. Tough Mothers, bennyboppers, misssusan79, Lisylou and me wearing purple for our good friend mnance101 and family. Log was easy at the car park.
Today I was in the area for a morning MTB ride along the BVRT. 
So after lunch I thought I would detour out here to find this group of geocaches. [^]
A quick for this one before heading around the tracks to find the others.
Thanks for the cache.

Out doing a bit of caching with Vegan Cachers (Mamma & Poppy).
We had to wait for a muggle photographer to leave but then we quickly found the cache.
Chance, my dog, had another good run around while we were here.

A perfect day to get out & collect Ms middy's Wheel series.
Two teams, VC & Immyky, bundled into the Geo-Beast & we were off like a dead fish left out in the sun!
After a short, pleasant tripping playing Spotto (a story for another day) we soon arrived near Pine Mountain Bush Reserve & set about the task of finding a few wayward smilies.
As this cache was nestled in amongst the series we weren't about to pass it by.
Good co-ords led us straight to the cache.
Made our marks & replaced as found.
All good here.
Managed to get the job done just before a muggle photographer/birdwatcher wandered into view.

**Out letting the kids blow off steam. I haven't been out caching in a while. Nicely muggle free today. Tftc
FB03 and I came down to Ipswich from Toowoomba to do the usual clear out of the nearest 100 caches during the school holidays thing. We stopped off here to grab this one and another one that need us to go for a little walk. This was a nice quick find. TFTC fireboo40
A morning out with IonlantheK and we had just parked the car and I spotted this one on the map. A quick walk over, and retrieved the container and signed the log. Now off to do the wheel trail. TFTC fireboo40
Out for a few hours with Nurseyjulie today
The nearby series of caches was our main target today, but Nj pointed out this one as we arrived. It hadn't appeared on my phone, so while I was trying to get that sorted, Nj had made the find. TFTC, fireboo40.

After getting the FTF on Orange, I followed a footpad which led me in a big circle past a couple of billabongs and back around but then it finally began to head in the right direction.
I emerged from the bush to find Ms Maddy waiting for me. I told her that I quickly had to grab this cache before I jumped in the car.

Rolled up here with a muggle friend on a mild Sunday afternoon and wandered over to GZ for a quick find.
We headed off for a ramble along the bush trails before driving to Kholo Botanic Gardens for a picnic shared with millions of tiny black ants and a very noisy duck

Great little hide! I had thought about putting a cache in here when we looked at a block of land down the road. Easy drive by although the container was sitting out in the open so I put it back in a more camo place. TFTC
A bloody good hiding spot, caught just a glimpse of it in the corner of my eye and knew exactly what it was
I had been for a little paddle on the dam earlier. I decided to round up a few caches on the way home.
This looked like a good spot for lunch. The tables were nice and cool in the shade of the trees. [^]
Fueled up on Vegemite sandwiches I went to hunt the cache. A nice easy one to find.

Saw this one published on the weekend and decided it would be a good after work detour. And so it was today. A pleasant drive soon had me at GZ. The find was quickly made, 2nd name in the log! TFTC fireboo40
*FTF* @ 1pm. I had seen the notification for this one come up this morning.
After finding the first one, we headed to find this one.
It was only 20 minutes away.
Sometimes we are lucky, sometimes not.
We got nearer and there were a whole lot of muggles coming out of a little country church.
Hope it is not near here. Good a bit further down the road.
Arrived at a nice bush reserve. A nice spot to have a picnic or a BBQ.
Headed to GZ and soon had the cache in hand.
Signed the nice blank log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks fireboo40 All good with this cache
