Great Northern escape 2022 Day 78. Charters Towers Day 1. After a restless night and an early wake due to some very noisy birds, I headed off for a days caching. I finished the caches along the Gregory Highway and went out to the weir and threw in a few pirate caches as well. Apart from lots of grass and associated seeds, the day went smoothly and I was home in time for a late lunch and some logging.

I did one of the pirate caches in April on y original journey, but took the time to do the rest today. A fun collection of caches out this way.

Thanks for the cache EatSleepCacheOnline

Thanks EatSleepCacheOnline for the caches.

Out and about caching in and around Charter Towers today. Caches visited took us too many spots with many varied caches of different sizes/shapes. Thank you for placing the caches in their locations. TFTC

After caching having to be abandoned at about midday yesterday because of the rain, today was going to be a very busy day discovering the many different places around this historical town. Thanks to the COs who have placed caches in the area for us to find.

Day 11 of the long road trip from Western Australia to Townsville, Queensland.

Today was caching south of Charters Towers then north of the town where a first to find was jagged before returning and caching within Charters Towers. The second Adventure Lab and associated Bonus cache was also completed.

This cache was found without problems. Log signed and the cache returned as it was found.

After filtering caches in the area I discovered this one close by that would fulfil a personal challenge for today. I dropped Pa back at camp having found one near there and set out . I passed numerous other caches along the way but I had my sights set on the ALs in town for this afternoon's caching experience. Soon at GZ, I quickly found the treasure and the log now carries my name. TNL PT TFTC

A quick find this morning on my way to Hughenden, stopping at the lovely Charters Towers to collect some caches.
Thanks EatSleepCacheOnline for placing the cache here for us to enjoy.

Cache in good condition TFTC

On our way back down south from Cairns heading to Cunnamulla for QOGM then to Sth Australia, Then WA then back to Cairns June 2022. 8 September 2021 10:54 am Tyfc EatSleepCacheOnline total caches now 2303

We do love finding a decent sized container, especially in the bush.

Our first full day in Charters Towers, and we decided to head out reasonably early as it is forecast to be quite warm. We targeted a variety of cache types including Adventure Lab, puzzle, traditional multi and Wherigo. All successful with no DNFs. Even managed to pick up one we think we looked for but could not find last time we were here.
What a lovely old town Charters Towers is. We particularly like seeing the range of old buildings on offer.
Thank you to the local COs for developing and maintaining the caches for us to find. It is much appreciated.

Just 17 finds today. We have almost come to the end of our stay in Charters Towers. Last night we had a great "catch up" with the locals. Today we thought it would be nice to attempt the local power trail and then head out to the weir. We got side tracked on our way back and logged a couple more.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache pretty close to where the GPS said he should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

Short grass but big red backs at this hidey spot YIKES. Grabbed along our travels in this great country. TFTC EatSleepCacheOnline.

Found it with TBU1BIKESU. TFTC

A fav point for the awesome hide.

We have arrived in Charters Towers. Beautiful winter weather, lots of caches as we weren't cacher yet during our visit in 2014.

Sorry for the generic text.

Tftc ESCO

Staying in Charters Towers so headed out to grab some caches in the area. After doing a few others in town I headed out to grab this short power trail. The grass was long in places but all caches were found and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Worked my way through a couple of this series, but the long grass was a deterrent to doing all of them. Took a TB to move on. TFTC.

Found with orth71 on a trip to Charters Towers.
Instead of the Mega in Dayboro we came to the Towers to cache.

Thanks Sobingtons for this trail. Went wandering but found this one & signed log. Cache & log in good condition

Caching in and around Charters Towers and surrounds we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

A good variety of hides in this series, cache and contents were in good condition and adding to our favourites. Left TB..

Thanks Sobingtons for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out and about exploring the Charters Towers area hunting down caches for the Mystery at the Museum challenge.

Hi there EatSleepCacheOnline. While on holiday in Queensland we found this cache after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to EatSleepCacheOnline for this cache - our find 7261

Oh Janet !

Out and about enjoying the drive,
I stopped here to find this cache hide
Not such a rocky horror show,
more of a spear grass horror show [:o]

With itchy ankles I found this cache

TFTC.

A nice fine, sunny morning in Charters Towers and we decided to walk along this Power Trail looking for caches while we got a bit of exercise.

We were able to see the cache as we approached. Plenty of swag in it but we didn’t exchange anything. We gave the cache a bit more camouflage before we left.

Many thanks for a nice one Sobingtons

Decide to tackle this short PT before leaving CT tomorrow, An easy find at this one. TFTC.

Easy to log this one! TFTC

Found & signed log, replaced as found...TFTC

Another quick find on a beautiful day.TFTC

Mother load.

TFTC. We had camped overnight at Macrossan Park and needed to be in Charters Towers next day to have a new windscreen fitted to the Motorhome. This meant we had a bit of time to explore. We decided to use geocaching as a guide. We would have liked to tackle the multis but thought that the trades would have to be sufficient until we visit again. We managed 16 finds for the day and lunch in the hotel. Good day and we had a new windscreen so we could continue our journey. Thanks to the COs in the area.

Tftc - found this one quickly and not so many prickles!

Nice easy find here. Enjoying the trail. TFTC

The only thing not good about these caches is the prickles
Tftc

Easy find but not sure about this.

Yep ta again.

Heading towards Charters Towers today to do some caching in and around the town. There are quite a lot of caches available so we had to make some choices.
Each cache found was in an acceptable condition, unless a specific comment is made. Each log was duly noted with our name and was then replaced as it had been found. Our thanks go to Sobingtons for this cache hide. A nice quick and easy find.

Picking the last few caches in Charters with burgo78. Thanks for the cache

In the Towers today with BlackPearl26 to pick up the last few remaining caches that I have yet to find yet in North Queensland.
Almost trod on this one. Covered it up a little better.
Thanks Sobingtons
I enjoyed the series. I hope there will be more.

On a road trip from Mackay to Charters Towers then on to Townsville and return to Mackay.

Sorry to all the CO's for the cut and paste logs.
Thank you all for placing and maintaing theses caches.
49 caches, 3 days and over 1000km's.

TFTC. This took a little longer than it should have due to the gps jumping all over the place. The cache was well stocked and in great condition.

Coordinates changed from:
S 20° 2.976 E 146° 17.346

Coordinates changed to:
S 20° 2.974 E 146° 17.347

Distance from original: 13.4 feet or 4.1 meters.

Received a new GPS and accuracy seems better
Container checked all OK

GPS didn't like us for this one either. Eventually found. Lots of treasures for the little ones. TFTC

Found

Spied the lid after a few moments, signed and replaced as found but the level of cover may vary over time. Thanks again Sobingtons.

Another nice new container with no bugs. Happy.

Missed this one first time around, with the hiding place confirmed it was easier this time.
