Detentions for All Wamuran, Queensland, Australia
By Miss_Direction on 14-Feb-18. Waypoint GC7JA1K

Needs work but thank you

Still there

Needs maintenance! Empty

Still there but no lid and nothing inside

Tftc

Nothing here but an empty container

Thanks I found it and put it all back together bc it was all over the ground

Fourth find of the day. If I grew up here this totally would have been the hang out spot. The cache log book not looking great, definitely needs some TLC.

On the fence about this one
Quack

Waked right past it once!

Found. Might need some new paper

TFTC!

Miss_Direction I found your cache Detentions for All on 16/9/2022, 4:55 pm. This is my find 4214 and find # 21 today. No problems locating this cache. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Easy find

Alyce and I have hatched a plan to convert the caches in our area and slowly make our way north, so after dropping the kiddies at school we decided to stay in the area to knock out a few.

We spotted this one fairly quickly, but before arriving at GZ I thought it may have been hidden differently. Container is missing its lid, but all is good.

Thanks for bringing us here.

All intact but the container needs a bit of detention - or is that attention? The lid is missing or is that a mis-direction? . TFTC.

Could not find but will look again in daylight

I just can’t compete with a woodyrothwell log... walking to GZ I had preconceived idea of what type of hide this would be... I even tested the theory once or twice... then I spotted the cache... added my name to one of the many pieces of log, replaced the snap lock bag and returned as found... tftc... I’m still looking for the “lakes” that the estate is named for....

When I saw the cache title I knew my wife would be interested. She is a teacher and I thought she must love ruining the minds of young children by giving them detention. She is a prep teacher so detentions don’t come up that often although some of the language that preschoolers use these days would have landed you there when I went to school.

I remember my first time in detention back at school. I had just slicked back my hair like Judd Nelson and hoped to rock in and talk to Molly Ringwald while Simple Minds were belting out a song on my ghetto blaster. Detention meant writing out some lame apology 20 times unlike the cool one in the Breakfast Club.

When we saw the area, all thoughts of being stuck in school vanished when we learnt that detention has a second meaning. Being smooth as a baby’s bottom also has a second meaning and I have wasted thousands of dollars on hot wax to find out the hard way. tftc

Logged and Found as WallabyTim/KaleidoscopeCass or WallabyWanderers. Backing this up with our old account, Apologies if you receive multiple logs





Why was the blacksmith's son sent to detention? He was caught forging signatures! TFTC

Staying over after the newbies events in Kilkivan to do caches in the area.

Nice find.

TFTC Miss_Direction

After the New Year Events in Kilkivan, today's caching area includes the Harry Potter and Agatha Christie Series, with hatzofff and Snickersallan in the geovehicle.

One word from High School!

Log signed and cache replaced as found on January 3, 2021. TFTC, Miss_Direction.

Making my way back down the coast with hatzofff and RoddyC & spending a few days in the local area to do some geoart puzzles and others in between.
All hides were found relatively easy and apart from a few wet logbooks that we changed where we could, caches were in good condition.
Apologies for the generic logs CO's, thanks for placing for everyones enjoyment.

A quick find. Nice area. Thanks for the hide!

Accurate coordinates made this an easy find . All's good at gz . thanks Miss_Direction

Out and about with geopup today collecting some caches in the area.
Stopped in to collect this one. Cache was quickly found. Log signed and all returned as found.
Thanks Miss_Direction for the cache.

Wow. This is a flash new estate.
Great quiet spot for a cache.

We drove to the GZ after our spin up to Mt Mee this morning. The GPS helped us narrow our search and we soon had the log book signed. TFTC

Quick easy find

After picking my kids from school I went for a drive up to Wamuran to find some more caches. Had a great afternoon learning about this area. Thank for bringing me here.
Sorry for the generic post.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Miss_Direction TFTC *555* streak. *3377* Finds

Picked these up whilst completing the Geo Art series AC today.

Headed out to GZ today with the family muggles, wearing off our Christmas lunch. 2 km round trip and now I’m looking forward to pavlova! And a beer

Lovely little area. All is well with this cache.

TFTC. TB visit x2

Another nice dry log signed while driving around this area this morning. TFTC

I've taken the week off as the the geomonsters are on school holidays. Fortunately Sandra had booked them into vacation care for the day, so it was either do some work in the peace and quiet or go out caching.

A slight detour from doing the Agatha Christie series. This was a nice quick find, although I walked straight past it at first.

Thanks!!

Nice little spot! Quick find then onto the next one. Aiming to hit our 2,000 milestone later today.

Easy find ended up in the bush though good hide

Simple but effective

So obvious i missed it, simple yet afective!

Out with geowife doing the Agatha Christie series and some others. Tftc

Thursday. Diverting from the A&C series, we collected this cache. Mr SPs caching mojo was on fire with this one and made short work of locating this cache. Bit of trouble getting the log out its container and almost wished I’d brought an extraction tool.

This was the 3rd of 10 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Miss_Direction***, for showing us this place.

My last cache find in Wam basin today so I headed off in a northly direction. TFTC.

Finally got back here. Found it easy today. Supposed to have a trackable in it but cache was empty apart from It’s log. A lady beetle was a bonus find till it flew away.
All good here miss_direction.

**# 24629** Found on our 2019 trip to Qld for winter.
A fine Autumn day for a drive around Moodlu and out to Wamuran.
Not that many muggles around here today and many good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache Miss_Direction,

Checked this one and the cache is in its place...the spot is a nice place to take the dogs so I didn’t mind the quick check

Spent quite a while here looking but no find.

Found while in the area with wombles.
Left my mark and replaced back up against the fence as it was just lying on the ground. Hope this was ok?

Thanks for the cache Miss_Direction

Out today for a drive. The cache was found in the open, on the ground, and was a nice quick find. Was not sure where to replace so placed where it looked like it should be. TFTC

Smart

I have never been down this part of town before even though I live not far away. I didn't even know this estate existed! How lovely is it being tucked away.
Anyhow, I parked Gerty and wandered down a freshly mown area to discover water depth guages in a lovely little area of parkland.
The cache was quickly found in the open and a quick message sent to the CO.
Log was signed and the mower men returned as I left.
TFTC

I have a friend from school who lives down here but I have never actually been to is place. I think it is a nice spot to live.
Clan-mess and I found the cache quickly and signed the log.
TFTC

Had to pop out to Kilcoy for some maintenance decided to grab some quick collections on my way.

Easy find thanks

Wanting at least one more cache for the afternoon to make it an "even" five and this was the closest before we needed to head home.
Thought by the cache name that it was going to be something to do with a school, but it was a basin... shouldn't it be a retention basin...??
Just had some cake at Wamuran for afternoon tea, so a little leg stretch was in order. We didn't need to wander too far though. Found the cache just leaning around. Quick sign and replaced as found.

Found it at 1.20 on 28 September 2018. Took longer than should have. Not quite right where i think it should of been. Co ordained a bit out. Returned as found. Tftc. Found with geo grandson pirate first mate. Hook you time for lunch and rum

Quick and easy find! Thanks

Easy find

I've always wanted to visit this area more, and as 1Minniemoo had a day off work and I wasn't doing anything and we had no GC map to show us any other options we headed up here as I had the list of old caches saved offline.

This cache wasn't where we were expecting it to be. I bet it does flood down here!
This was my last cache for the day, time to head back to school, with one more stop for MM.

12/9/18 1:39 pm Find #2109
Having been out for adventure today with Wombles&Co, we were on the return journey when we decided to make a small detour past here.
Pulling up we wandered down to the fence line and expected the hide in a particular place. However we were surprised at where this one was found - it wasn't a likely place considering the possibility of flooding or being moved by grounds maintenance.
An interesting new estate here tho, lovely houses. The lady over the road was polishing all her railings as we left.
Thanks for the cache Miss_Direction.

TFTC smile 3421 out and about with miss millie geodog a lovely drive cache found safe and sound Thank you for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.

We have met up with Liz and Bruce, camping in the Caboolture showgrounds for a couple of days.
A good variety of caches & hides found as we worked our way around the town & countryside.
Thanks for placing this cache Miss_Direction

Out caching with Di Morgan on this beautiful sunny afternoon. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Nice location. Thanks Miss_Direction.

Today I headed out to see if I could finish off the current souvenir hunt. After that was sorted, well, I couldn't just leave the last 3 caches here without a smiley...

I was wondering what I would find down here to cause the title, and yep, of course. I wonder if it'll flood??? I wandered around for quite a while before I stumbled on the hide. Somehow I was not quite expecting it to be there. TFTC, Miss_Direction.

It was decided reasonably early today that we would drag our weary tortured bodies out into the sunshine & fresh air to ease the frustration the VCs were experiencing from being virtually under home detention for the past 7 weeks (with considerably more to follow) as a result of injuries & ailments recently received/diagnosed! LOL ...

Having met Miss_Direction not too long ago & realising there were now quite a few new caches on offer we decided to 'test the waters' around Wamuran/Caboolture today.

Good coordinates & this was a quick find as the cache was sitting on the slightly 'sloshy' ground, IPS?
Doesn't seem to have any means of attaching to anything?
Made our mark & replaced exactly as found.
May need a CO check to make sure it is where intended.

Took a moment to enjoy the whipbirds calling nearby & the pretty blue Superb fairy-wrens flitting about with not a care in the world.

TFTC

Came by to pick up the log and replace the container for this one so the cache is up and running now

Nice spot however someone had vandalized the cache and thrown the log book into some water. Shame but all good all the same.

The Geo Dawg headed south early this morning to Bellthorpe,Waruran and other places, Hoping ti find Fame Fortune and Caches and have some fun
Another great cache in a strange but nice place should be called Retention Park

Thanks for the cache and the adventure Miss_Direction

This Day in Music
1968, George Harrison and Ringo Starr attended the premiere of 'Wonderwall' at the Cannes Film Festival. The 1968 film by first-time director Joe Massot starred Jack MacGowran and Jane Birkin, and featured cameos by Anita Pallenberg. The soundtrack was composed by then-Beatle George Harrison. The film provides the name for the Oasis track 'Wonderwall', which was inspired by George Harrison's score.

As someone previously mentioned, we too made it harder than it needed to be. But found it nonetheless.

This one had us going a little. Finally it was found in an easy spot, why did we make it so hard for ourselves! The TB listed 1/8 teaspoon, is not in the cache.

Found it!

Wow, it's a couple of years ago that we looked here for houses... Now it's really a new little suburb.

Thanks for the cache, Miss Direction!

Found it with bikesu.Tftc

What a surprisingly beautiful location amoungst an estate! TFTC dropped a TB also found a TB.

Doing a maintence run everything looks good here and we dropped a TB while here.

This one was a nice quick find for us. TNLNSL TFTC

Found the cache 6m from GZ as well as out in the open. Wasn’t sure if this was how it was supposed to be so we returned the cache as we found it...

Found Ok

After finding a nearby cache, stortigirls and I made our way to this one. I parked the geomobile and we strolled to GZ by the light of our phones. Once there, the cache was quickly llocated and the log signed. TFTC

Out on an after work and after dark caching run with Selva Girls this afternoon, we headed out to Wamuran to collect some smilies. We approached gz in the dark, trying not to step on any of the army of toads guarding the place. The reason for the name of the cache became obvious as we approached. The container was found quickly and names were added before tip toeing back to the car. Tftc Miss_Direction
