Great Northern escape 2022 Day 115. Rockhampton Day 1. I headed south and west to reach a few caches today. I had my most effective time around Gracemere. I then visited the southern suburbs of Rockhampton, with a fun walk around the Botanic Gardens. I had to venture over the river for the last for the day to reach the number I was hoping for.

It is good to see a few monuments around town. As I had a look around this one, I finished up on the memorial and saw a likely cache spot. It was neatly tucked away and I was able to sign one of the newer, dryer log sheets.

Thanks for the cache bertoady

Unfortunately Diane had to work today but it's a necessary evil if we want to keep the holiday going and she didn't want me under her feet so there was one way to solve that and that was to go out and find a few caches.

We followed the GPSr to gz on this one and made a nice quick find as there weren't a lot of hiding spots around. Unfortunately as soon as I grabbed the cache my hand almost instantly turned black with ants and they didn't seem to happy that I had just disturbed their nest. Back to the car to get the bushmans and sprayed on my hands and then went back and cleaned up the container a bit and when I pulled the log book out they attached again. As the container had no lid they must have thought it was a good place to make a nest. We sprayed the inside of the container with some bushmans. We are not sure how but the log book is wet but we managed to add our stamp to one of the sheets.
We hope that the bushmans does the trick so the next cacher doesn't have the same problem.

Thanks betoady for the cache and for showing us this memorial.

Lest we forget

A quick find in Rocky before heading home to the North. Thanks for the cache.


Thank you bertoady for placing this cache for me to enjoy!
 
12-Apr-22
Heading north on a pilgrimage to the Townsville Mega, stopping along the way to stretch the legs and find any interesting caches.

Even at this hour of night muggles abound, so I was glad you placed this far enough away from the main attraction that I could find it unnoticed

Find #12272 @ 20:26
Thanks bertoady for giving us a reason to visit.

27-Mar-22
First arrived at location. Not much around but found it fairly quick - good luck
 
26-Mar-22
Found in about 5-10 mins. I would say small other than micro
 
22-Mar-22
Had a sleepness night even with a boot full of red. With the adjacent door shutting with a slam at 4:45am I tossed and turned before admitting defeat and went in search of a few caches. This cache wasn't too far from where I was staying so it was first on the hit list.

Arriving at GZ took the time to read the story of the rats before searching the cache. I did start my search low then worked my way up before spotting the container. Thanks bertoady for highlighting this monument.

**Found Thursday 06-January-2022 at 13:45 Smiley #1665**

Annual Christmas pilgramage for the family. Was destined for Dubbo but for the third time we've tried, COVID-19 has prevented border crossings or made them too unpredictable. But hey, there's always someone else in a worse predicament then our family holiday being shifted around.

Ended up driving the Australian Country Way from Toowoomba to Rocky, then down the coast back home again. Not a drop of rain until we ran into Ex TC Seth, who apparently didn't socialise well. Got stuck in Tiaro for the night, before making the made dash back to Gympie once the way was cleared. We didn't get many caches on the way, there was too many to justify stopping at every single one, but we did find ones at cool spots we were stopping at anyway

Nice easy find on a hot day

All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.

Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **bertoady** Big Grin

Rogersclan13 Cool
