youngoldfella I found your cache Hawkins Road on 12/4/2024, 12:20PM. This is my find 6559 and find # 9 today. Found it after a bit of a search. Very overgrown vegetation here. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Hawkins Road was transferred from Sweet-Sour to user youngoldfella

Nice country around here.
Having a drive from Gympie to Wigdee today.
Fair bit of long grass to dig through to get this prize.

Easy

On the way back heading towards Gympie after a brief visit to Widgee for a sort of lunch and some new caches.
J dropped me off at gz and parked down near the creek where there was more room off the road. It was a long and fruitless search for some time in quite an overgrown area, looks like the creek has flooded recently and trees have fallen changing the terrain. Just when I was about to give up, J found it closer to a fallen tree. Whew - that was hard!

Quick find tftc

Ok this was the last cache that i still had to backlog, and now i've caught up... for now.
I stopped at the start of this road and contemplated whether to make the kilometre run to collect this one and then just did it.
Not too big a detour, and not long left to widgee.
Thanks sweet-sour for showing me this quiet and dusty dirt road with a geocache.

Nazcar182 was in for the grab tftc

Little stroll to the cache but easily found. Tfc

Heading toward home after attending the Mid Year 2021 event & we decided a 'cruise' through Widgee & surrounds was warranted as we seem to have quite a large patch of green dots in the area, on our map.
Well, that will never do!
Collected 26 smilies on the way home so well worth the slight detour.

Nice quick park & grab just before a stray muggle drove by!
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Just a quick note to register today's finds on our leaderboard before it closes.
A more detailed log to follow over the next day or two.

The sun was low, the air cool, the rural sounds calming and the landscape felt washed and settled by the recent storms. Time to head home. TFTC Sweet-Sour.

Visiting Gympie on business and once finished decided to head out and grab a few caches. I ventured out along some great country roads that I hadn't been along in many years.

Once at GZ it was a quick find,

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Out for a day of caching fun with Mr Curious Quest. A quick find was made at GZ and, after signing the log, we were on our way to the next one. TFTC

Good day out with Selva Girls around the Gympie area today to pick up some caches. Nice quick find here. TFTC

Geodad found it!

While staying in Gympie with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to find a few caches in the area ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

Out for an afternoon of geocaching.

Found Ok

Our last day of caching in Kilkivan. Today we headed out to Widgee and Glastonbury. Another great day, we found all the caches that we looked for. They were all good sized containers which made finding them easy.

Found while staying in the kilkivan area for about a week before heading for the big smoke down south. Having noticed that there was a lot of new caches placed in the area I set about converting some of them to smileys. This is of of the many I have found so far. All were easy find with no maintenance issues. TFTC

Had the opportunity to go caching with Wazza9 and Nana Nel and took it. We had been wanting to do the river walk series for a while plus others around the hinterland of Gympie. Such pretty country side. We enjoyed our day of caching. Thanks for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

TFTC,

A big day for me with 38 finds for the day. I joined with Nana nel & Liz and Bruce today to start my caching experience in this area.

A great day spent with great people talking, walking, driving and looking into spots many people would not see.

On our way home after spending a great weekend in Kilkivan finding some caches. Got lucky with this one and found it almost straight away. TFTC Sweet-Sour

A short detour down Hawkins,
and this cache was a delightfully fast find
No muggles passed by [^]

Found this nice cache well hidden in the long grass. Lovely day out here. TFTC

Kilkivan Cache-up stay Day 2:

After an early start thanks to some squawking magpies, it was a drive up Mudlo followed by a meander through Woolooga, Miva, and Gunalda before heading south and visiting Lower Wonga, Glastonbury and Brooyar Forests and then Widgee before returning to home base.

A variety of great caches were found along the way, plenty of wildlife spotted and some amazing rural views enjoyed along the way.

Out for a day of geocaching with jonesgang between Gympie and Widgee. 27 Finds and 0 DNF's, but thats not surprising odds from Sweet-Sour's hides

Almost time for lunch i think!

TFTC sweet-Sour, you caches still bumping up my numbers

Out geocaching with spike. 11th find for the day. TFTC.

Hi there Sweet-Sour.

Today's venture had us heading from Gympie to (Upper) Widgee bag a few caches along the road.. All up we found 21 caches & DNF'd 1.

Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia. Thanks also for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this regular sized cache here.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Tape measure.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

We have set up camp at Chatsworth Park. Todays trip to us out away from the hustle & Bustle of town.
We drove along many winding rural roads. Spttings some of the local animal life. A very pleasant morning out finding many large containers which is quiet unusual nowdays.
A good variety of locations & caches found.
Thanks for placing this cache Sweet-Sour

A few more caches to round out our day.
A nice quick find here.
I hope nothing comes out of that hole.
Signed log and returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Sweet-Sour All good with this cache

Lucky last for the day. After a day with many cows it was nice to see some sheep along this road.

Another easy find to round it all off thanks Sweet-Sour.

I had a great weekend and I will be back to stay for sure. [^]

#7994 Cache Found

Found while attendingthe Newbies Event at Widgee. Nice cache Thanks for bringing me here

Thanks for the great cache and adventure Sweet-Sour

This day in Music
984, Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen crashed his Corvette Stingray, on the A57 outside Sheffield, Allen lost his left arm in the accident. Allen was on his way to a New Year's Eve party at his family's home when a Jaguar passed him. The driver had been egging Allen on and would not allow him to pass. In his rage to pass this driver, he did not see a turn up ahead and lost control of his car. He was thrown from the car, with his left arm severed due to the seatbelt not being properly fastened.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

The final day for us at the 2017 Widgee Event - Thanks Sweet-Sour. We headed out early while waiting for the camper trailer to dry after last nights rain. picked up a few of the new release caches. TFTC

We came upon your cache, Sweet-Sour, while geocaching at the Newbies Event at Widgee. We are in the company of Temingi.



Log signed and replaced at 8:44 am on 31 December 2017. TFTC.

Drove up from Canberra, for a much needed holiday staying with my parents in Caloundra ... Up here for a few weeks (Christmas, and most of January
My parents didn't have any plans for this weekend/NYE so I figured I would come up for the Geocaching weekend at Widgee ... glad I did - 3 days of fun!
After arriving here yesterday evening, and staying up way too late, I was woken up by the daylight (Sunrise is way earlier than it happens where I come from - lol) I had breakfast and a chat with everyone, and jumped into the powellbruce Geomobile with Sweet-Sour and youngoldfella, and headed for the hills for an adventure
We found the cache they were going up the hill for, and 3 more they stopped for on the way down, and a few more we were going past down the bottom (for me to find, and the CO to check) then we started working our way through the Saturday list of Sweet-Sour's caches he had hidden for the event, and then, because the Sunday list was also published early, we went and found most of those as well - the most first to finds I have ever got in one day - lol
TFTC - Joint FTF ... 22 of those now, and still having fun

Published

(FTF) joint with Powellbruce and AKAYEM. some new hides released today for the event and as we were out thinking that there were only 15 to find the reviewer published the other 16 which we thought would be released tomorrow, Sunday, so Only 5 to find tomorrow. Sweet-Sour came with us as we started our trip going up to launch from here as this is real 4WD country and we had the means. Apologies for the boiler plate logs. Loved the company and the challenges. Thanks Keith for another good weekend. TFTC Sweet-Sour

Out and about today with Youngoldfellow and Aykayem Sweet and Sour taged alog with us as well this was a joint FTF today great fun was had by all
