A super quick find after doing the fascinating Min Min Light tour @ the info centre in Boulia. Not in the tree, but on the fence line, which I think is more suitable & how it should be out here in the country anyway.
Like the little trackable stones in this one, great idea 'life in a moab'! TFTC*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
Found it easily on the fence, now we are heading back to town towards Birdsville.TFTH
A perfect place for a cache! A quick stop off on our trip from Albany to the cape. TFTC
The fence is new and it was going to take a decent effort to extract from the published GZ coords. Luckily a replacement is located low on the fence. Thanks to the generalmanager for this stopping spot before hitting Boulia.
Found a long way from the GZ - I suspect a throwdown placed when the fence was erected. TFTC!
A quick find - well have to do the Putback way another day, we are heading east after Boulia. Too much to see and do! Thanks for the hide
Read previous previous finders log, spotted the container from a distance. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO Great to see these old caches surviving.
** S 022 52.029' E 139 51.426'**Climbed under the Barb wire to try find this one.Then read some previous ,something about hanging on fence.Cache is 45m out at the moment .Taken screen shot of coords.**100th finder of this cache **
Thanks for the cache! Had a wonderful time in Boulia trick or treating with the locals last night. Continuing our Outback Way Adventure.
Travelling with RoddyC Snickersallan, grannysmith1947.Today was a mixed day of dashing off here and there to pick up some target caches.Another diversion for this one.TFTCache The Outback Way
Day 2 of our Outback Way adventure road trip, and after an overnight stay in Boulia, we headed down south to get an old cache before heading back to town.A quick fuel up, and we are on the road again to find another old cache, and this one happened to be on the way there.Accompanied by RoddyC, hatzofff, and grannysmith1947, we stopped nearby, and we soon had cache in hand Thank you, The Outback Way, for placing this cache for our benefit and enjoyment

We are off on a trip to the Birdsville Races and then across to Queensland - the plan is for about 6 weeks of travel - all going well.
Week 1 we have travelled from Portland to Farrell's Flat near Clare.
Week 2 was Clare to Port Augusta.
Week 3 Port Augusta to Birdsville
Day 22 Beans Loo to Dajarra Dam bush camping
The races are run and now we are heading for Mount Isa with a couple of overnights along the way. We visited the Min Min display in Boulia and collected this one along the way. It is 40m from the coordinates now but is very obvious as you approach.
Thanks for contributing to our holiday generalmanager

When we pulled up here there was a farmer close by who came to see if we were ok. I explained what we were here for and admitted the cache was on the other side of the fence. He was impressed it had been there so long without him knowing but said he'd prefer people not to enter his property. We was happy for me to hook the cache on the fence which is what I've done. Tftc
A find for us today whilst staying in Boulia for the Camel Races. Nice hide
TFTC quick find. Watch the prickly bush. Not to mention the prickly wire as well.
Great to have a cache at this intersection. Outback caches are too rare to bypass or lose. Unfortunately there has been a new fence erected and the cache is now inside the paddock of the pastoral property. Either a CO note saying permission has been granted by the property manager ( may be granted given the location) or it will need to be shifted.
TFTC and the same from Gray Inc.

With a new property fence being erected here we don’t think this cache will be in play much longer unless it’s moved.
We found the cache, signed the log and replaced where found (hooked on the dead tree stump - nothing like the hint suggests).
Cache and log are in good condition.
Thank you.

Found at 12:01:00 PM(t) GAFF1.
We were a bit perplexed on arrival as to why there was a barbed wire fence between where we were and where the GPSr pointed to where the cache was!
Decided that if p-pprass could get through the fence without shredding clothes or skin, then it was alright to enter - so he did enter
Cache found in the very first spot that was looked at.
Thanks generalmanager.

Heading to Boulia, Bedourie and Birdsville. This was one of our targeted caches to get new LGAs. Thanks hopefully next time we're here we're heading to Laverton.
It’s great to just be hanging around in the attempt to the find the cache! Worth the slipping and sliding
Was finally able to get away on my 2021 trip up to outback Qld.
The original plan was to go up through NSW but that got changed on the morning of the departure so up through SA it was.
Was very apprehensive about towing the new van up the Birdsville track but my only other option was to stay home.
Well the caravan has made it up the track and after hitting Boulia for the Camel Races I had a look around town.
This shortcut is on my bucket list and one day when the world returns to normal I might get to do it.
A new fence with vicious barb wire doesn’t help getting to this one.
Thanks The Outback Way TFTC.

That’s some pretty serious barbed wire. Although once past that the cache was soon in hand. TFTC
Yep! But a new fence which needs to be crossed might indicate a relocation. TFTC
Found with SJG66 as headed North to check out the Northern Territory.
There was the remains of an old damaged cache container there which we removed. TFTC.

It seems a fence has been built between us and GZ but it wasn't enough to keep Karicka out. Quick find and then we headed west to find ET. Thanks for the cache
A weekend drive from Mt Isa.
Started with a find in Isa then down the lonely road here.
Spotted a few nomads, brolgas and cattle along the road.
A new fence did not deter me from doing a roll under.
Thank you for hiding this geocache The Outback Way

Greetings....contents ok. We have replaced the zip lock bag for log.
However, case itself is not secure any more and needs replacing - sorry, our containers were not the right size. Cheers, Gerard & Duky

Nice easy find. The box clips look ready to fall apart ... not much shade out there!
We placed a new cache here as we had previously found the cache. All good for the next hunter.
Timberrr!! Cache has lost its support branch and as previously stated lost in the rubble at base. Had a look to no avail. Sorry.
This one appears to be missing. The tree mentioned has been knocked over and is covered with flood debris. We searched for a long time, widening the search to include other small shrubs nearby but no luck. I am guessing if someone wanted to dig through the rubble the cache is probably beneath
We were really hoping to find this one as it is the start of the outback way.
Logging now, late log, as DNF.
Message and photo sent to CO regarding concerns of missing cache due to tree being knocked over by grading. No response and recent DNF leads me to believe it is certainly missing.

A quick find while heading into town. One day we'll do that west-bound road, but it wasn't to be on this trip. TFTC.
Found after spending the night in Boulia. A quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
On a road trip to Darwin with muggle mate we stopped here before heading north. Walked up to GZ and had CIH quickly. TFTC
Over the past few weeks a group of us explored the Simpson Desert traversing along the Rig Road, WAA Line, French Line and the Hay River Track. Wow what an adventure we had out in the desert, except for the flies!
An easy find at GZ.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 6. With more flies for company in this roadside reserve, I was up Early to beat them today. Fuel in Boulia took me west all the way to Gemtree along the Plenty Highway.
A nice simple roadside stop before heading on my way west.
Thanks.

Heading through to Winton, in Boulia for a couple of days. A quick find this morning TFTC
After a leisurely bush camp last night and a few drinks around the camp fire we got off to a bit of a late start today and the sun was well up by the time we opened our eyes but that's what holidays are about
We are slowly marking off these caches and enjoying everyone of along this drive, it has been a fantastic few days and these caches have helped to make us stop and stretch our legs along the way as well as also learning bits and pieces as we go.
We located the cache quickly and added our name to the ;log before moving on to Boulia. There was so much to see and do here we decided to spend the night and make the most of it.
Many thanks once more way-finder for placing this cache.
