Couldn't find it bc it was in its actual hiding spot

TFTC great spot!

Today i dropped my husband and his good friend at the Gympie races and headed off to collect some smileys. It ended up a great drive around this beautiful country side. All up i found 20 caches over 4 hours and travelled down some interesting roads. Some of the roads were so narrow i wondered what i would do if a car came the opposite way. What a great day to be a geocacher At GZ i was lucky i had done my homework and noted the 9m out which was spot on. Thanks youngoldfella for all the fun

We are both now wary of snakes so very trepidatious when it comes to this kind but TFTC!

TFTC!

TFTC

Woohoo this took longer than it should have with HRH54 but eventually yes!! TFTC

This took some time Co words out approx 9m With Juju54 TFTC

Nicely done. Clever little hide ruse under it, but have the actual hide away eventually. TFTC

youngoldfella I found your cache South Lynches Forest on 10/4/2024, 5:05PM. This is my find 6550 and find # 12 today. Found it after expanding my search area. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

We are caching today, finding some of Sweet-Sours caches, 40kms north ish from home. And down came the rain! We persevered and found this cache and then turned around and went back to Gympie hoping that the weather would improve. Cache and log in good condition.TFTC

South Lynches Forest was transferred from Sweet-Sour to user youngoldfella

We stayed for couple of nights in this area to find caches which were added since our last visit or which we hadn't tackled or found before.

We found this cache and signed the log.

Out with TBU1Bikesu for more smileys. Tftc. Sweet-Sour

Found with HazzaKay - like others have said was a little way from the coordinates but not too hard to find.

Out caching with pittstop74

2nd one on our little drive. TFTC. Our American friend is scared of snakes but spotted the hide out from a safe spot.

TFTC Sweet-Sour, still a few caches to find in the area. Today we are targeting a few we have passed by many times.
Very pretty area,

Got it. We agree with Bruce Margaret the cache is approx 12M from GZ. Is in good condition. TFTC

A quick find here on my afternoon drive to soak up the sun

TFTC SS

Found 11m from coords but it is tree covered. Tftc cycling on this busy road. Took TB RPN2RX HIPPY Van

Great spot easy parking.. cache is in great shape. Tftc . Off to Gympie for the day.

Poked in all possible gaps but could not find anything.

Local caching family adventure today 2nd one we found. Been over 12 months since we hit it and we haven't lost our touch. TFTC

Another quick find by the side of the road. Well hidden from passing everyone though.
We parked up at the other entrance for a good long while after that killer hill preceeding it. Well, not for me on an ebike though. Weeeee.
Thanks sweet-sour for the geocache.

1MinnieMoo and I were in town grabbing a couple of caches and visiting my parents. This was the first cache we grabbed.

1MinnieMoo had found this one so I had a look. At first, I couldn't find the beast, but it soon came to light and was in good condition. A nice little place for a stop. TFTC Sweet-sour

Out and about with Kiwiz@gz having a ball. Tftc

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.

Yet another nice quick find.
The benefit of quick finds is that you get more time to look about & smell the roses ... figuratively speaking, no roses here.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

TFTC Sweet-Sour

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.

Recent Fire may have burnt plastic geocache.

Geohubby went to look for this one and came back to the car with no find. So off I go now and found it almost straight away. I think we looked at different elevations. A large loader (?) or excavator has been making a road, driveway, or parking spot for itself but the GZ is undisturbed. Thanks Sweet-Sour.
Cheers and happy caching!

Not much in it but left a penny.

Beautiful spot, tftc

Found when I stopped looking at the GPS and started looking at the landscape. TFTC.

got it and a trackable

quick find, nice duck

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.

This was the first for the day and it set the theme for the day with nice size containers.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

I took along some trackables for a visit.

Found Ok

Found! TFTC

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

Out searching for clues in “Mystery at the Museum”. 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 to PB1973 for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Sharing a days caching with Liz and Bruce and wazza9, quick find, signed log and replaced. Thanks to Sweet-Sour, exchanged trackables.

TFTC,

A big day for me, 1-38 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.

Visited trackables and took one.

A good spot for a poke about here
And after a good poke,
the cache decided that it would come out of hiding
Hooray !!

Dropping in a couple of Travel Bugs

I was working in Gympie this morning for a few hours and I decided to grab a cache on my way home from work.

This cache was found easily enough once at GZ.

This is find #2196

TFTC ***Sweet-Sour***

Driving to Kilkivan for the weekend to find some caches in the area and this was our second of the day. Glad we have left the hustle and bustle behind and soon had the cache in hand, sign and returned as found. TFTC Sweet-Sour

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that I can claim the finds.

21/4/19 300pm Found it TFTC SL Took TBs

Out and about with 1MinnieMoo and wombles today for a fun adventure around the Gympie area.
It didn't take long to have the beasty in hand. We left our scribble and continued on.
2 TBs were left to continue their journey.

Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour

On the return loop of our journey not, heading back towards Gympie.
Cool hide here, lots of places to look but eventually we located it.

17/4/19 2:54 pm Find #2473
Nearing the end of our Wacky Wednesday up north, NyssaFlutterby, Wombles&Co and I headed over to this one. We began snooping in the holes and soon Wombles&Co made her victory call.
Log signed, Nyssa placed some TBs and we headed onwards again.
Thanks for the cache Sweet-Sour.

Out for a country drive somewhere we hadn't ever been before within an hour of home. We had pencilled in a weekend of countryside exploring since we couldn't use our boat as its rigging is halfway through being replaced, and had previously been looking forward to a weekend on Moreton Bay exploring the islands.
Stopped here on the way to Brooyar forest. A bit of scrambling and poking the head into crevices until we located the right one, carefully covered with some natural camouflage.
Took coles mini thing & fairy mother bottle cap, left red racing car & marble.

Destroyed my skin shoes to find this one. Hidden under sneaky tree piece

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.

Checked a few crevices before locating the right one. All good here.

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

First find for the day, a quick sign and rehide

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

Out geocaching with spike. 1st 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:** Small Toy

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Tftc having a great day out with lcoll112 on the cache trail. All good and dry with the cache. Again - get to the spot and scout around and have a look trees play havoc with gps.

Lovely location! TFTC

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

Last one of yours today.
Will be back to get some more soon.
I headed off to find the cache and soon after a quick search located the cache.
Signed the log and returned the cache to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Sweet-Sour All good with this cache

I decided to spend Sunday geocaching, rather than riding my motorcycle. This was the first of many that I got in the afternoon. Thanks for offering very pleasant afternoon.

Found it

Well geo kid loved the shopkins we found inside so we swapped for a geocoin. Nice easy find tftc

A good parking spot close by and this was in hand. TFTC

Checked a few spots before finding the right one. TFTC

I had a bit of time on the way to Widgee, so I stopped to hunt for a few along the way.

This could have been a drive by if I had wanted. I think the cache had escaped from it's proper spot. It was jsut lying beside the track.

I added my name, took the TB and then replaced the cache in a more likely spot and covered it up a bit.

A quick find - dropped off a TB

A quick find . TFTC

Found on my trip Rockhampton to Canberra, after devouring to avoid a bad accident. Tftc

Thanks for the great cache and adventure Sweet-Sour

This day in Music
1930, Born on this day, American singer, actress, guitarist, songwriter, and a civil and human rights activist Odetta. She influenced many of the key figures of the folk-revival of that time, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mavis Staples, and Janis Joplin. Time magazine included her song 'Take This Hammer' on its list of the 100 Greatest Popular Songs. Martin Luther King Jr. called her the queen of American folk music. Odetta died on 2 December 2008 age 77.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Found with the geokids whilst up visiting mum. Oh look some new caches, just realised these were only just placed. A fairly quick find and a nice new cache. Tftc

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

Rock a bye Baby!

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 - another Joint FTF

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
