StumpyTftc

Today is going to be another big and long day with a bunch of caches to grab on the way to the event in Muttaburra. Then grab a few around Muttaburra township, before heading back to town for more caches and then another event. Oh today also starts with a breakfast event at the showgrounds.The breakfast was good and the fruit platter was a very nice add on. While loading the info into the phone it was great to sit around and chat on peoples thoughts for the day. With the team gathered it was then off to make a mark on some log books. We signed the logs as Misfits and saw a nice variety of caches, with size and terrain not an issue. We all worked well as a team and it was a good practice run for the main event in a couple of days. After lunch and the run around Muttaburra town, we headed back to Longreach via these caches and puzzle caches.Thanks for the placements and the time in putting this all together.

Its ON, its Muster Day.We teamed up with JACS Team, Gcoven and Chamad for an action packed day. With papers in hand we made a mad dash around Muttaburra and the surrounding area grabbing a variety of caches along the way.What a crazy day!Thanks for bringing us here.#4018 - TFTC

QOGM 2023 Longreach Day 21. Longreach Day 4. Muttaburra Muster day trip. Fitzy_1965 and Albida33 are on our trip in early spring to Longreach. With the whole team in town, we settled into two cars to make the journey to Muttaburra for lunch and caching along both roads there and back. The Team signed CC2 and was made up of Gliss!, NibletRiceCakes, Contesta, Cosmonaut97, Fitzy_1965, albida33 and Lilly the dog. First up was the amazing breakfast at the Showgrounds and then we were off. We managed to find everything we were able to look for today and get a feed at the amazing pub in town. I was happy to be able to visit the Holloway caches I missed last time. We even made it back to Longreach in good time to get a few non caching things done before the evening event. Plenty more great discussions and a fun long night before heading home to rest a bit before heading out again tomorrow. I have no idea how I missed this last year, but I am happy to have it signed now.Thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce44372.19 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2018 February Wendigo A#372**Albida**

Had an amazing time at the last QOGM event in Longreach. I feel honoured to be one of only a handful of cachers who has attended all five, although it does concern me that now I will have to plan my own September school holiday fun. This year I travelled up with Gcoven and we scooted along the bottom LGAs for her to collect and I was able to pick up the odd one here and there untilWe hit brand newies on offer in Longreach. During the course of the formal QOGM days we travelled and cached with chamad and Nathan & Alyce as part of our team signing under the collective name of Misfits. Along the way we had plenty of laughs and enjoyed hanging out with each other through the official social events and our own - generally at The Wellshot or at the Longreach Bakery. With the couple of quieter days on the agenda it allowed us time to get everything we wanted in town and even head further afield to Winton with feeling rushed at any point. It was great catching up with everyone some whom I had not seen since Barcaldine and of course the more regular cachers from home. Quite the turn out indeed. Thanks to the efforts of the QOGM team and Jimmy Project for helping to bring this all together.

Attending the final QOGM with BenM70 this week and looking to turn solved puzzles and anything else we pass by into smilies. After lunch we grabbed these before completing the PM Flights muster. All found in good condition. Most logs signed TSV 1 or B78 and BM70. Thanks Liz and Bruce for organising this and bringing a large group to the region. Well done to all over the past 5 years.

JACS and I had hatched a plan a while back to book leave for a road trip out west and to attend the last QOGM.. battery issues after the children were out playing in the dead of the night but we are away in mini muster day! Another fab day for the MisFits! .

After lunch in Muttaburra with fellow geocachers, we headed down by the river to do the Broadwater series. TFTC Liz and Bruce

Could the next geocacher attending this cache please replace as it may be missing. With our thanks Liz and Bruce

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 143. Barcaldine Day 2. Today's trip was to Muttabu5rra. It is over 150km so I headed off early. It was a nice drive and there was plenty of caching to do around town and along the nearby river. I ran into Domsky at a key point of the day, it is great to meet up with people in the wild. It was a long hot day, but I enjoyed myself and came home to Barcaldine in time to cook dinner and flop into bed before going out again tomorrow.

After the town caches, I headed out to Broadwater to try this series. Plenty of very spiky plants and grasses to be traversed at some of them, and of course the two I had to walk furthest too, I failed t find.

Thanks.

Nice hollow for a cache but no luck today. Searched within a 5m radius

Did a bit of a maintenance run as required here. A new lid here and replaced a container where there was a couple of DNF's, there was only one spot it could have been and I am sure the CO would not mind me fixing it up.

Lovely little series of caches along the river and the last for us in the ara. Heading back to Barcy.

Staying in Muttaburra, I saw this trail of caches close by so a trip to the Broadwater was organised. I was amazed at the number of people camping out here, You can really get away from the hustle and bustle camping by the river. A beautiful place. All the caches were not difficult to find apart from two DNFs

This one was easy to locate TFTC

Yes even confident enough to go looking on my own thanks

Found by the Dagan Family

Thank you for the cache.
I've camped the Broadwater for many years. Very quiet this year because of Covid-19. Easy find

Found eventually. GPS took me on a round about way near other trees.Tftc

Part of our Sunday drive

Hey

Decided on another drive out here to get the rest while I'm out of my best safety thongs. TFTC Liz and Bruce

Found 18-10-19 Very dry. Nice walk across the paddock. TFTC.

It being a new day it was decided to make our way out to the little town of Muttaburra wile doing the caching guided tour well not necessary guided but using the various caches to get us around the area.

We arrived at the GZ and soon found the container and after caring out the necessary requirements we returned the cache to the location it was found.

Thanks Liz and Bruce for this cache you placed in this series and RoddyC and Robbokerry for looking after it for them.

Big day out today from Aramac. Headed up to Muttaburra to explore. Surprised to see so much infrastructure changes since our last visit. The interpretive centre and a new Freedom camp. Nicely done BRC.

Bimbled about town following the wherigo and Art multi then picked up the last few remaining caches before returning to Aramac.

Doing a maintenance run for RoddyC. Picking up a few caches today.

Nothing much happening in Muttaburra to day after the big day yesterday. Just a few grey nomads resting in their vans.

Nice hide.

Found with grandchildren

Hi there Liz and Bruce.

The QOGM event is over, and as we hadn't driven up to Muttaburra during the weekend, we decided that today would be a good day for a drive.

We had some GPS troubles, so we had to resort to "paper" logging and iPhone navigation for a while - so the caches won't always be logged in their correct order.

We thoroughly enjoyed today's adventure. Thanks for placing the cache for our enjoyment.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Found it. Loving this series. Thanks for bringing us here.

Quick stop find sign and dash thanks for the cache

Over the years, geocaching has taken me on many adventures, including interesting destinations all over my home continent of Australia and many overseas as well. It has also introduced me to a diverse group of like-minded caching tragics, many of whom I now call close friends.

Today, I was lucky enough to be out and about searching for caches, something I do on almost a daily basis. This was one cache that was targeted and found.

Sorry for the late and generic log, something I am notorious for. Thank you Liz and Brucefor adding to the adventure that is geocaching.

Exploring the area with The Tritonz, Micaparamedic and Geoturtle37 today. We had a great time exploring here and were surprised to see as much water as there was. Thanks for the caches and showing us this area.

Before heading out of town we attacked the Broadwater series with micaparamedic, Geoturtle37 & Papi4506. The various hides were located without any dramas apart from the cows at GZ of no. 13. Apparently the tree shade was the attraction for them not the cache lol Even though the water levels were down in the river the bird life was plentiful and we got to see a brolga.

Thanks Liz and Bruce for the series .

Selva Girls and I were travelling north from Barcaldine today, to visit Muttaburra and all its caches before heading to Longreach for the night. We thoroughly enjoyed the places our caching took us today, taking in history, scenery and art. Thanks for bringing us here, and tftc!

Stortigirls and I started the day heading north to Muttaburra. We loved our drive around Muttaburra and surrounds and the variety of caches that we found. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting town and TFTC.

We headed out with grannysmith1947 to hunt caches around Muttaburra and this trail appealed to us. All the caches are in good condition and the co-ords are spot on. We were watched by cows, spotted an echidna, we saw loads of birds and lizards. SL TFTC

Spending a few days in the Muttaburra area and headed out to the lovely but dry country around Broadwater tempted here by all the caches. Thanks Liz and Bruce

Today we explored Muttaburra and surrounds picking up a few caches using Geocaching as a guide and this was one of them.

We enjoyed this series and the variety of hides. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks Liz and Bruce for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

If I was to walk today, I needed to get out early so I set off before breakfast and headed north along the track. It was very pleasant and my search for smilies was successful. This was one of them. Thanks to all the COs involved in placing and maintaining these caches. Signed log as SG. TNLN SL as SG in some of them. I also think that I may have used the wrong date.

Easy find along a dirt track with lots of caches. TFTC.

Travelling through Central Queensland from Barcaldine through to Muttaburra. Caching along the way in the company of Roostaman. We had an enjoyable time caching with them. Great little series along here. Enjoyed the varied hides and cache containers. Thanks Liz and Bruce for placing and the local geocachers for maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

TFTC. We had been in Muttaburra a few days ago and left some caches I found. We decided that another trip from at a.dime was warranted to attempt to clear the map. We had a successful day , completing all the aches along the Broadwater. All cacheswere fou dwithout too much difficulty. Did not realise that camping was available in the area. Thanks to all the COs.

No. 5 down and found

Second day in the Muttaburra area clearing the map for now. Even headed down to Aramac for a mini meetup with RoddyC and youongoldfella with a milestone of 19000 finds as well. TFTC.
