Called in for lunch then was able to find the cache. Very clean and nice area. Would be great for an overnighter. Thanks c.s.c. for the cache.
Recognized the type of container and it was soon signed and returned.Time to visit Qld again. Up visiting family and doing some small road trips.Thanks for getting me out and about coral.sea.cat
Couldn't find it. Didn't spend long looking as it is only a 1.5 so we should have found it quickly.
Cant find it - this is our first ever attempt to find one! Could it have been taken??
Quick and easy find on our way south via some old cache with alphag_25. Nice leg stretch area.
Quick Rest and Toilet stop. Nice rest area. Logsheet soaked, replaced with new rainrite and zip bag. Found TFTC SL Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
What a surprise find at the Rest! Took a break from the road, checked the app, and there it was a geocache waiting to be discovered.Quick scan of the area, and the cleverly hidden cache revealed itself. Signed the logbook, and left a story of the journey so far. Grateful for this unexpected adventure during a pit stop.
Out and about geocaching today with Dora the Explorer! We had several caches chosen and this was one of them.A quick and easy find once at GZ.All is good with this cache.TFTC
Found on a trip through Broken Hill, Tilpa, Bourke, Cunnamulla, Charleville, Tambo, Blackall and Barcaldine to attend the QOGM at Longreach, then to Emerald, Biloela, Monto, Gayndah and Kilcoy on my way to Brisbane for a few days before a return drive back to Adelaide. After staying t the Sports Grounds campsite at Goovinen overnight, today I made my way to Kilcoy, stopping off intermittently to search for caches enroute. Thanks for the cache coral.sea.cat!

Today we explored Dululu, Goovigen, Jambin and Biloela in our quest to complete 2 unfound LGA's.
We found a variety of cache hides and types and your cache was one we found along the way.
Many thanks for your cache placement which allowed us to achieve or goals today.

While driving through the bush this looked like a nice place to stop and cook lunch. And a bonus cache!!!

Had a DNF here about four years, so good to turn the frown upside down.

Day 3 of the Reflection Road Trip started with light drizzly showers at Monto and ended with a downpour in Mt Morgan. There was no MTB riding today, just a mix of some nice township based caches, some historical sites, and my favourite drive bys. Maybe not.
Indeed a lovely spot for a rest, almost missed it tho, it's not big. Out of the 4 possible hiding spots we pi med the right one straight away, the log is a bit damp, dried it out in the sun for a moment. Thanks for providing a really good reason to break the journey up a bit. We're heading to bhndy and really hoping to get to the sea today, after a week out bush.

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 127. Gladstone to Dingo via Biloela and Dululu. I seemed to have chosen an unbalanced day with over 300 km to do, based on my last few days of travel, I should have stopped some where along the way and Biloela would have been a nice place to stop. I had a look around while doing a multi. Dululu was much smaller, but there was a food van at the van park that looked like a bit of an adventure. I stopped in Dingo and walked over to the pub for sinner and then slept to the dulcet sound of coal trains every 30mins or so.
As I headed north again to get onto th Emerald road, I stopped at a few rest areas, except one that was in a roadwork zone.
Thanks for the cache coral.sea.cat

We had planned a road trip to Queensland to visit family in 2021, but our travel plans were stalled due to border closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the world was trying to get back to a semi normal state, we decided to have another go at getting away from the cold and head up north for some sunshine and warmth.
Day 10 was a drive from Emerald to Biloela collecting caches along our journey to break up the drive. All caches were found in good condition unless otherwise mentioned. Lots of interesting things seen along the way and some wildlife thrown in for good measure.
Thanks to all the CO’s for the placements and keeping this hobby alive.

Great stop for a smoko and cache. While the kettle heated, this cache was an easy find. TFTC.

We decided to spend an extra night in Rocky and try our luck at the Cry series and then finish off the CQ Adventure before heading for a couple of earth caches in a bit of a loop and anything else that popped up on the screen.
The CWA are under recognized and appreciated in our community as they do so much to help out. It's great to see this set up with a big hall that we hope is still in use and a little bit of recognition for the women who work tirelessly on a volunteer basis.
We pulled up here to find a worker setting at the table making phone class so we decided to make use of the other table hand have lunch here which worked well as before we had finished eating he had finished his calls and driven off so we headed straight across to gz for a nice easy find before any one else turned up.
Thanks coral sea cat for the cache.

Travelling to Townsville with Wollaston and SeasonedBird. This was a good stop enroute to get a smiley. Thanks Coral.sea.cat
DNF was turning to night and couldn't see very well sure we just missed it but will come back another day to find it
Day 5 of my cycling trip to Townsville for the Mega event.
I am continuing my way north.
A quick find here while enjoying a break off of the bike.
Thanks for the cache.

Stopped in here on our way north. It is a lovely well cared for rest area. Cache found. Log is wet. TFTC
Beware of the Piranha.
On our way to Monto with mother and aunt in the back for a quick day trip to see the silo’s.
Getting close to Jambin and the lack of reliable internet drives me off my iPad game, but there is enough to have a squizz at the app just in case, just in time to see a cache wizz by on the highway and here comes another. Going to have to get them on the way home
I spy another in Jambin and the oldies are glad to know they can stop for a quick break there.
I spend some time reading previous logs to get a feel for what’s ahead, no familiar names that I recognise.
We pull up to an empty park except for one fella heading back to his car headed north.
Woot, we are in luck.
Buttons decides she’ll join the oldies while she has the chance and I pull on one of my gloves because of a previous log mentioning wiggly sticks and get stuck in.
Of the 4 most obvious spots I have done 3 of them when Buttons gets back, looks in the 4th spot and says there it is.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother to get out of the car
She then hands me a fish……..
I examine it closely as we are still new to all this and it supposed to be a disguised cache, but I’m just not seeing it.
Giving up on the fish I have another look and there it is. Our first disguised cache find.
I quickly sign the log on the opposite side as it’s full on the other and I’m glad I brought my gel pen and the paper is quite damp.
I run thro an explanation to the oldies as what we are doing and why.
Mother comments that she doesn’t know how I can do these as I never seemed to be able to find anything when I was a kid.
That’s it, she’s not coming along on any more of these.
Cache gets replaced with the piranha next to it.
TFTC, it’s a lovely spot.

Hubby found reasonably quickly using a reaching stick in case of wiggly sticks. Thankyou for the reason to stop. Heading to Biloela from Rocky for a day trip.
Sadly I didn't find this one. High muggle area. While waiting for activity to clear, I went to the bathroom. After seeing this big fellow, I decided to try again another day.
Needed a pit stop and there just happened to be a cache. A storm rolling in in the distance. Was a good vantage point from GZ to watch it. TFTC.
A great rest area. Awesome sculptures nearby. Logging with DeafCat, Deafphantom and DutchAus
We are on way to Cania Gorge for 2 nights. Thank you for the hide and bring us here. Love travelling on different highways. DeafCat DeafVW DutchAus

We made a quick comfort stop on our way back home to Brisbane. It took longer than it should for me to find it, but eventually the teenager found it.

Was enjoying a nice coldie at the pub on my own, camped out the back and I thought "I wonder if I'd be so lucky to find a cache out here?" So glad I took the dog for a walk. Pity I didn't have a pen on me, but TFTC
Looking for something to fill in time whilst not studying, it was suggested that I finally get around to logging THOSE caches long found but never logged. Some even have funny stories of being visited not only once or twice, but a few even have had a third or fourth visit before realising I've been there done that. The date is as near to the correct day the cache was found.So sorry for the generic and late log.JABs.
On a GC roadtrip with Drennostar, Suzi1972 & her muggle husband. Great hide at this location - been here 100 times and never seen it. TFTC!
Set off from Biloela this morning heading to Charters Towers. Quick find using the clue, was signing log when 2 other cars pulled up. Had to replace sneakily. Clearly the feature is built for longevity not asthetics or comfort. Thanks for the cache.
On our trek to Dayboro Mega. Quick park and grab luckily in the first spot I checked TFTC coral.sea.cat
TFTC local in area & it took me a couple of goes to find this one. Always in a hurry
Last day of a four week road trip returning home from Townsville.
A few people were watching me here but pretended to be bird watching. Found found and signed quickly.
