Zillmans Crossing Rocksberg, Queensland, Australia
By Waz and Vik on 26-Feb-17. Waypoint GC718YC

This cache has gone missing a few times and i think some one is trying to tell us something so it is to be discontinued.

Quick find once I read the logs. TFTC

Found it even though we didn’t have reception

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.

currently in Woodford as Mr Felix had some work at the Woodford Festival. With that time now over its time to get back with reality and out and about caching and shopping.

Went for a quick drive and we couldn’t locate anything where we looked. So have replaced with a bison. The original site where the coordinates lead you has been destroyed so we have replaced the cache at

S27 07.311 E152 51.499

With 3 DNF's and 'Waz and Vik' currently overseas as the dutiful daughter I'll pop up this week (probably Saturday) and check on this cache and replace if needed. I haven't seen its new hidey hole so this could be fun!

Unfortunately I couldn't come up with the goods today. Coords were taking me to the table and the stump but nothing jumped out. I wanted to search through the lantana for any hidden magic but after suffering some serious injuries two days ago, I was scratch-shy. I will be back.

Didn't find geo, but found plenty of rubbish and people's clothes around :/

A perfect afternoon for a drive with the geokids and what area better than this to do it in. With the list of caches I was aiming to turn into smiles in hand we set off on our mission.
We arrived at Zillman's Crossing and within a couple of minutes I had found, signed and placed it back in it's spot.

Great RE-hide

2603

Monday. Both Slow Punctures were out in the Wamuran/D'Aguilar area in search of caches.

As we arrived here we found the remnants of the previous hiding place, so we consulted the cache logs and saw that the hide had since been shifted. Found in quick time and then we were able to spend some time watching small birds dive bombing into the water and then shaking the water off after they flew back up to the tree. Totally oblivious (although we are sure they knew we were watching) - and happy as pigs in mud!

This was the 9th of 9 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Waz and Vik***, for showing us this place.

DNF

Original hide has been destroyed and container stolen but log recovered amongst the rubble. New container now relocated 15 metres NE of old position.

Not in container. Just o ring and log. This cache needs maintenance.

found log, needs maintenance

Brisbane to Caboolture
After setting up camp in the showgrounds, we headed out in the afternoon to find a few caches.
This took us to various locations & a good selection of caches found.
From all the debrie at GZ I can tell the water at some stage has been very high. Cache was found nice & dry.
Thanks for placing this cache Waz and Vik

On a rainy, miserable morning off I decided to visit Caboolture and surrounding areas to find a few new caches that have popped up, as well as a few older ones we've not yet found.

After DNFing here previously, a blue frownie has since popped up on the map, part of the latest changes from Groundspeak. I returned to to try and turn that frown upside down, and did so rather easily. Not sure how I missed that last time.

Thanks **Waz and Vik** for bringing us here, this find makes #3710. Discover our trackable TGQNRV.

Took a little while. Well hidden. Just search the obvious.

**Smilie #5159**

Having secured FTF on nearby Catalexis we decided to chase down a few more smilies while enjoying the sunshine & a country drive.

This is a great little spot by the Caboolture River.
A picnic table & seats make it ideal for a lunch stopover or you can sit along the river's bank & just enjoy the ambience.
Winter the Geo-Cat had a great break from being chauffeur driven around in the Geo-Beast.
Rolling about in the sand & watching the birds flitting back & forth gave her a good exercise session before hitting the road again.
All is good, she's on a lead & harness so no feathered fatalities.
While Geo-Mamma & Winter enjoyed the location I set to looking for the cache.
A couple of circuits soon had the sneaky little blighter in hand.
All good with the cache.
Nicely placed.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

**TFTC Waz and Vik **

We came back from our walk along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail and decided to stop here a 3rd time to find this nasty beast.

Yessss, today we got it.

Found it with bikesu. Tftc

This one took us quite some time to find as it was very well hidden. We were amazed by the debris that showed just how high the water has been through here. There we a couple of muggles here when we arrived. They were down at the water's edge so didn't bother us too much. We are not sure what they were doing but they looked rather guilty, so we wondered if they were trying to take gravel from the river for some reason?! TNLNSL TFTC

Great hide lots of fun

Used to bring family here many years ago - looks like party central theses days- cache out in open so tucked it away from prying eyes - TFTC

Found at 0914. Had to search a bit for this cache. Had to stop occasionally because this place seem to be a stopping area for muggles. TFTC.

Came here on the 9th to have a look. Had only been recently found - after the heavy rain, so figured should be easy enough. No, wrong again.
Back on 25th to have a splash in the nearby water. Have now seen an experienced cacher not been able to find since we were last here, so do not hold out much hope.
Well, well, well. Mrs FNG found something a little out of the ordinary, and it led tot he find. Awesome work baby! Cache is definitely there, log is good, and now has our names in it. Thanks to the CO for placing this here!!!

Searched the area. No find today

Found it on 5th April 2017 at 4.20 with pirate first mate geo grandson. Tftc. find number 557 for

Found Ok

Nice find. lovey creek, TFTC.

I had spent the day chasing down some dinosaurs, but now I should be thinking about heading back to Brisbane... maybe just a few more?!?!?!?

Another Road Closed sign had me pulling up about 250 metres from GZ as Bumbles is only a little car, so I set off on shank's pony to see if I could get through. The creek had obviously been running way over the road and it was still covered, but I managed to tiptoe my way across without getting soggy feet. A few folk were in the area admiring the aftermath of the flood, but GZ was a little way off. I wasn't too hopeful that the cache would still be there, but I spied it pretty quickly, and it is in great nick considering the recent tumult [^] TFTC, Waz and Vik.

I met up with stortigirls after work and we headed to this one. Our phones had us hunting hear there and everywhere. Then my geosenses took over. I circled the obvious and soon spotted the cache. We added our names to the log, rehid the cache then continued on our way.

Out on our usual after work caching adventure with Selva Girls attempting to clear an area. This was the furthest from home and therefore the first stop. What a gorgeous little spot! Cache was found after a short search and our names added to the log. We explored a bit before returning to the car. Thanks for the cache and for bringing us to this beautiful place Waz and Vik

Tftc a bit of a search but happy find. Log in good order

A quick drive out along a quiet country road and a short time later I was turning this green dot into a big yellow smile! Thanks for the cache!

OMG found this one at last. After spending about 90 minutes searching for this one on Friday with no luck, we had to leave to pick the grandsons up from school in Beerwah. As the GPS didn't settle all the time we were there - we resorted to PAF for a hint (thanks for that Team Benders) and returned today with our new found knowledge. We cant understand how the devil we had missed the cache because we had both look there!!! Obviously not hard enough, must be our age!! Good sneaky hide. TFTC Waz and Vik

Out with Geopartner to find some caches.
Arrived at GZ and soon after a brief hunt had the cache in hand.
Signed the log and returned it to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Waz and Vik All good with this cache

We were both sitting at our computers when 'ding' new caches popping up:) Will we go, won't we go??? Finally Mr 4ando made an executive decision and said let's go! Now which way will we go to try to nab a ftf. We decided to head north, we were on a mission now, oh no...roadworks!!!!...phew, we were let through like grease lightning:) As we get closer to GZ we are starting to wonder, are these cars following us??? But when we pulled over they drive on by:)

We jumped out of the car in full stride the place is empty but we knew we had to move faster than a toupee in a hurricane as we were certain this place would become as popular as an NRL final. After a bit of searching we soon came up with the pot of gold and did a little victory dance when we saw a clean log. Left our scribble on the brand new slate.

Now to take our phlogg...but who rocks up now, none other then RhoBoCacher and Wombles and Co. RhoBoCacher would have to be the most dedicated cacher we have come across, she comes out of hospital and the first stop is a cache, well done!

Since we were all there we thought we would honour them by initiating them into our phlogg (photo log). We all stood around the fire by the creek toasting our marshmallows:)

Ftf log to follow 12:57pm

Joined Rhobocacher for her cache a day, 2Tf and we got to meet 4ando And then saw Grannysmith as well.
I don't think I've ever been out this far before along Caboolture river rd.
Cache was a quick find. I'd often thought about making a multi or a puzzle with these marker things like the one out here but this one is too far to ride to and now I see it's been trashed by flooding and the plaque has been ripped off or stolen.

One of the Zillman family was the librarian at Caboolture high school when I was there.

TFTC 2253# Did send a log on the new app but it has not shown yet MAYBE tomorrow thanks for the cache had nice talk to two lovely young ladies out and about with miss millie geo dog Did take a photo will see if it turns up

Well what a story for this one, after being in hospital for the past 12 hours and almost not being able to walk when I was first taken in and in alot longer than expected due to heart problems, Mrs wombles messages me on the way home from hospital while im being chaffeured driven home. Ohhhh wow that is tempting but I do need to go home to rest as Im still not walking 100%. So I thought if I pick up Wombles then she could be my partner in crime and do the dirty work for me, I'll settle for the drive. So after picking her up and on our way out I think I have an sensitive relationship with every single bump in the road lol. We got stopped at roadworks but then waved straight thru ahhhh that was a relief. We turned the corner and Mrs Wombles says Oh no...... theres another car here who is that?? We had a few ideas and when we got closer and spoke to them we realised exactly who we were talking to (Mr and Mrs 4ando) So after a quick chat and photo (in which I was still dressed in half of my pjs) Mrs Wombles made the retrieval signature and replacement. Then we plan to leave and see Granny Smith pull up with her geodog so we leave her to it to find. Oh my gosh time to go back over the bumpy road drop off Mrs Wombles and go home to get some rest. Im so glad I got out of hospital when I did as I was worried that I would loose my streak, now I dont have to worry TFTC

Found on a geocaching adventure with wombles and Jelly the Wonderdog. This was my last find for the day. A very pretty area certainly worthy of a cache.

Thanks for the cache Waz and Vik
