An easy puzzle, to solve. My first strategy when I looked at this series, was to solve the letterboxes. Approaching GZ, Shazzar66 made the find. Nice, sturdy cache container.Signed ShaDup, our team name.Thanks, JACS Team, for the cache.
Out with Duppers once this morning doing a few of the 65 roses.Quick find.I found your cache, 65 Roses - 27 today. Signed as team name, ShaDup.JACS Team, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
While passing through Kilcoy today we had some spare time so we went about and found a few puzzles and letterboxes that we had solved in this artwork.After many years of puzzle solving I have a good collection of links built up. Found my favorite one and had this solved easily.TFTC
We did a lot of research and puzzling in the run-up to our cacher tour around Kilcoy.We spent many hours solving them at home on this Geoart.We finally travelled to Kilcoy and looked for lots of roses in the beautiful countryside.Thank you for the beautiful Geoart and greetings from Team sissifalke
Today is day 2 up here in Kilcoy to do the Rose GeoArt. Everybody I know has done this GeoArt, when I was still working. Now that I have been retired for some years , I knew it was about time to do it. Started late morning and after 4 hours completed 27 caches. TFTC JACS Team
There was talk at a recent event about cachers heading up to Kilcoy to knock off the Rose GeoArt and that burst of energy gave us the motivation to head back out and knock off the remaining ones we didnt grab on our previous visit, you never know if itll mysteriously disappear in the coming months/years so we wanted to finish it off just in case.We went in a hell of a lot further than we needed but after having no luck where we expected it to be we slowly walked back to the car and soon spotted it several minutes from where we parked. Interesting choice of camoThanks for bring us here.#4339 - TFTC
My caching buddy Susan DW was back in town for a short visit so a quick plan was made to find the rest of the Kilcoy Roses. Despite the heatwave conditions we managed to keep our cool and found all but one of the caches we looked for today. Thanks to JACS team and to any other teams who are helping with the maintenance of this great series. And a big thanks to JACS team for the extra help they gave us today.
3rd time lucky for myself and TreasureTrakas to complete this 65 roses Geoart. Beautiful area Kilcoy and we enjoyed getting into all the backroads that weve not been to before. Even though it was hot today our dogged persistance kept us at it. Thank you JACS Team for the huge effort in placing it. Unfortunately 1 DNF stands in our way of completion at the end of the day.
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. Thanks for the cache, and for the entertaining caching foray around Kilcoy JACS Team!
65 Roses Part #2.
Back into Kilcoy again to pickup a few more of this series. Forgot to open my offline list before I lost reception so missed a couple. Never mind, there’s always next time. . TFTC

This puzzle was only recently worked through in preparation for a visit like today, although it was a last-minute trip. I was able to solve this puzzle without too much difficulty, and the coordinates were put away ready for a future visit.
After parking the vehicle nearby and taking a walk to GZ, I began to search for the cache. There was rubbish in the area and that initially fooled my look, thinking the cache may be missing. I began to consult past photos, and then I had another look to then make the cache find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, although it was slightly wet inside which wasn't an issue for this waterproof logbook Thanks JACS Team for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
----------
During this extended weekend, it was a trip north to find the 65 Roses geoart in Kilcoy, followed by two days boating on Lake Somerset to defeat the Dark Side series joined with [GurTheWanderer](https://coord.info/PRWMPWQ) and [stairman1](https://coord.info/PR4R27Z).
Today, I headed north via Caboolture, and I made stops in D'Aguilar and Woodford, before stopping at Stoney Creek in Bellthorpe National Park. Towards the latter morning, I set off finding the *65 Roses* geoart concentrating on the eastern circuit via Mount Kilcoy first, before then heading north, and back into Kilcoy for lunch. After tackling the central geocaches, I proceeded west through Woolmar, before finishing the series via the southern stem. As I was staying in D'Aguilar tonight, I returned via Mount Archer and a detour into the northern section of D'Aguilar National Park. A nice and cool weather day for collecting this series, and most of the geocaches were in good condition.

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 14 – Farewells were done in Nanango with family and now heading to more family in Morayfield collecting more caches along our journey.
Solved all these puzzles before our trip so decided to try and pick some up while we were passing through the area.
All caches were found in good condition unless otherwise mentioned.
Thanks JACS Team for the placements and keeping this hobby alive.

Stopping in Kilcoy for a few days. Today was our first full day attack on '65 Roses'. Having previously contacted the CO we have refreshed all caches when we found them. Any with identified issues we have completed maintenance for the CO. This cache is in good order.

Found while heading back home to Adelaide after attending the Mega event at Townsville over Easter.
I ended up camping at Kilcoy for a couple of nights, attempting a few of the series late yesterday afternoon and most of the others today. Unfortunately the weather was not great with consistent, almost constant, light rain throughout the nights and days, but it wasn’t cold so not so bad for caching really.
I quite enjoyed solving the puzzles in this series in preparation for the trip but the caches weren’t so great. Many were missing, probably as a result of the recent flooding, and most are in need of maintenance. The coordinates and hints for a few were also a bit off, possibly due to cache creep.

After a few days of knocking over some of these puzzle caches the time finally arrived to turn them into smileys. Headed out early on a gorgeous Saturday morning to work my way slowest through this fantastic piece of geo art.
Won’t finish them all today but look forward to coming back soon to complete the series.
Thanks to the co’s for the effort in placing an d maintaining this wonderful reason to explore this part of the world.

29/1/22 After staying at Somerset Camping ground for a few days and doing the Darkside of the cache series now heading back home direction. Grabbing the 65 Rose series while here and then back up the highway. TFTC SL Caching with Caitlyn1105
After spending some time last week working out the last of the puzzles, in some cases with a little guidance, we decided it was time to come and finish off the Roses today.
The weather was not exactly being kind, with Kilcoy Creek flooding and closing the highway in the morning but we weren’t going to let a little water stop us.
The recent rains have also encouraged abundant growth along the roadsides which saw us needing to push our way through knee-high to head-high grass to access many of the hides.
By the end of the day we were pretty much saturated from the thighs down but at least the dreary day seemed to keep both the muggles and creepy crawlies somewhat at bay.
A lone frog making his presence known here as we made our way to GZ. Cache was spotted quickly on a spot not quite matching the clue. On opening we found it was half full with water but the log in the fresh bag is still safe and dry. We emptied and dried out the container but the rest of the contents are saturated. TFTC JACS Team

Converting coordinates and understanding how to recognise the different formats took me a long time to get my head around. Even way back before I was premium and I was hiding caches. The geo app coords were different to the google map coords and it was so confusing. Glad I have that cleared up now.
Found with Peppa, Giraffe ?? 18, 2manytrailers, blkthunder and Catboy67 on our Mega day of attempting to do the entire Rose series. Wish us luck????
Out with PirateLinda and Peppa and CatBoy67 and blkthunder and 2manytrailers
The stamp had leaked possibly as the ink was running red as Peppa emptied the cache.

With an unusual public holiday announced, a plan was hatched to return to Kilcoy with the goal of finishing the 65 Roses Geoart… we’d last been here in January… so with PirateLinda, Giraffe18, 2manytrailers, Catboy67 and Blkthunder we left home at stupid o’clock this morning in convoy arriving in Kilcoy at 8am… With six of us the caches didn’t stand a chance… logs signed in full or some combination of P, PL, G18, 2MT, CB67 & BT…
A fairly straightforward puzzle to solve… they can’t all be mind bending….
At GZ I managed to spot the container a little ways off… owning one of these myself, I was not surprised to find water inside the cache… emptied the liquid, replaced the snap lock bag and returned everything as found… tftc…

Aargh, i am such a muppet.
In future touring geoadventures i'll bring along a geofirstaidkit to patch/bandaid where necessary.
Unfortunately it's needed here.
I have no idea how (as i love these little grenade caches ) but water got inside.
Kinda somehow managed a sign.
Sorry i couldn't add some paper and thank you for another rose puzzle.
This is find number 3367

Easter trip away with fitzy_1965 for the cacheQLD Dayboro Mega.
Decided to pack up and head north a day earlier as we were no longer dry in our tent. Teamed up with Albida33 and Smittengranny (signing as FAMS) to do the 65 Roses Geo-art and any others in-between before parting ways and caching our way to Maryborough where we will be based for three nights.
All caches were found in good condition unless otherwise stated. Log here is damp.

Dayboro trip. Day 12. With the Mega officially over, there was another day of caching to be done in the region. Today it was Fitzy_1965, MinnieK and SmittenGranny who joined me for a trip to Kilcoy. We spent the morning finding the Roses series that had been solved before the trip away. A fun collection of town and country caching, in the heavy rain at some times. Happily the heavy rain came after the walk was completed. I returned to Dayboro for my last night and the others headed north for more travel. It has been a great experience caching in the region and with so much more to do I will have to visit again. Bring on the next Brisbane Mega !

24,370. Found with minniek on our Dayboro QLD MEGA Adventure trip. For today we also cached with albida33 and Smittengranny to form and sign as FAMS !
Day 7. Enough was enough. We decided that we had had enough of the rain at Dayboro, so we upped stumps a day early and started our journey up to Maryborough via The Roses Geo-Art and a couple more counties. Smittengranny and albida joined us for the Geo-Art. So after packing up the sodden campsite we headed north to Kilcoy after a final trip to the Dayboro Bakery. This was the next stop for the day. This was a quick find at GZ. Signed the log as FAMS, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next one.

Cache 7330 on 3 Apr 2021.
Finally, a real geocaching mission with an airplane flight, nights away, so many caches on the list and a road trip home! Flew up from CBR on 1 April with TikvaNZ to join Fox in Jox for a 5 day full-on mission centred around attending the Dayboro Mega event. Plan is to cache in around BNE, targeting old caches, virtuals, LBHs, Wherigos, DT combinations and anything else that takes our fancy and then start heading home Monday via as many counties as we can squeeze in. We have so many caches on the list we are unlikely to get them all, but we will try our best! Don’t care if it rains or snows - QLD here we come!
This cache: solved last night and a quick find today!

#10918 - 11:06:00 AM; Day seven of a road trip with Sol de lune as we head north for the CacheQLD - Dayboro Mega. After a second night in Esk, we packed up and headed off on our final leg to the Mega. High on the agenda for today was awaiting advice on the Brisbane lockdown and whether or not the Mega would actually go ahead, or whether we would be turning around and heading home early. While we waited, we set out to log the "65 Roses" geoart series in and around Kilcoy. The good news on the lockdown came between our fourth and fifth finds in the series, so we knew we had time to try and complete it before we headed to Dayboro. All up we had 60 finds and four DNFs for the series. Most of the finds were fairly straight forward, while some required a little more effort, reference to hints and/or earlier logs and/or the exercise of the geosenses. Enjoyed the variety of the puzzles and the hides. One left for the return journey to complete the series. Apologies for the generic logs. TFTC JACS Team
Day 7 of the trip north with LuckyL10n and today saw us leaving Esk and heading to Dayboro....and finally the cacheQLD Mega. Luckily the event has now got the go ahead and all is good....
Our plan for the day was this series and we simply took our time and got around the caches without to many issues. 4 DNF's in there, but that still meant over 60 finds.
Thanks for the caches and the reason to check out the area JACs Team....

The GPS took quite some time to settle here. Just as well GT's phone is co-operating at last or we could have been here for some time. Thanks for the cache.
Unfortunately plan A wasn’t able to happen today so that meant I needed a plan B. Having just had some help finishing the puzzles for this geoart, I took the opportunity to turn some of them into smileys. It was a great day driving around Kilcoy making the finds, I didn’t get them all but made a very good dent.
There was a time when I didn’t have any idea what to do with a (now) simple puzzle like this. Shows how far we’ve come. Tftc JACS Team

A visit to Kilcoy meant we could go out to look for a bunch of Roses. No idea why we did so much wandering to find this one, it was there quite easy to see when we did. TFTC JACS Team.

Lake Somerset Trip - Day 6
After a delayed start to the day (after 2 big days on the lake), our aim was to cherry pick a number of the 65 roses powertrail. Managed to avoid the drizzle for most of the afternoon. Trying to get my letterbox count up to 100 and this little group of 8 will definitely help.

An easy conversion puzzle that provided us with an accurate set of coordinates to find the Letterbox cache. Thanks for the puzzle and the hide.
Day two in Kilcoy. We're here to smell the roses, and so far the caches we found are well placed - and they are a joy to find. Some long grass treks but an enjoyable morning caching before the forecast showers arrived.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Gold Coin
Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Tftc JACS Team, great series, loved the variety of puzzles and difficulty. Puzzles solved now, with some needing a call to the brains trust for help. In the area for a few days to collect the smilies.
Log was very damp so I left it in the sun while I hunted up the road. TF this series, JACS Team.
Out today on a mission with OBC and mini-OBC. Swung by here for the next of over 120 finds today. We enjoyed the Roses immensely, being decent puzzles and good hides with parking spots (mostly) and accurate coords.
Thanks JACS Team for entertaining me at this location.

Out and about on a power trail today - targeting the Roses geoart (wahoo! highly recommended), the Potter Puzzles geoart, and the Hamilton power trail. It was a long but fantastic day with myself, Pprime (P') and mini oz_bean_counter, and the logs were signed as OP'X to reflect this. Started at 4 am with a check on the US election progress, in the car by 4.45 am and the first cache by 5.30 am. Home and dead tired 12 hours later, where wine and pizza were necessary to refuel the body before I crashed for the night. I was delighted to end the day with 124 finds (plus 5 DNFs, and revisited 2 caches) - a new daily record for me. I was really really happy to be celebrating that achievement with family and good friends.
Thanks for all the COs for their time and effort in placing and maintaining these caches. Apologies for the generic log.

Thank you for great puzzles. Enjoying this place very much, finding this one was difficult because of lots of fallen branches. Logging with our gang DeafPVC
Camping in the area for a few days and grabbing few caches too. Headed out again today and grabbed a few more of the roses series and this was once of them. Once at GZ the cache was soon in hand.
Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

After completing the darkside series yesterday and then a boat trip this morning to grab a trad we missed yesterday, it was then to pack up and continue the Rose’s series.
With an email to say the CO was in town doing some maintenance on the series of caches, it gave me a renewed enthusiasm for this series. It was extremely hot out here today but I had a goal and off I went. Willis007 came along for the drive and just did the caches she had solved, for me I had still three left to get (next time).
With log signed and cache replaced as found I was onto the next one. Thanks for this series I enjoyed it.

I had recently started working on the 65 Roses puzzles and was in the area this weekend collecting the Dark Side caches. However, this did give me an opportunity to start collecting some of the Rose series puzzles I had already solved.
An easy puzzle to solve and a quick find here today. Log signed, cache replaced as found - all is well with the cache.
Thanks JACS Team for a fantastic puzzle series, and for placing the cache here.

Took me a while to find this one but eventually the thing laughed right at my face!
The log is very wet and idiot me had left my 'getting prepared for a caching trip' LARGE hobby container full of caching gear AT HOME!
Hopefully the heat will do it's thing and harden the log up.
For those playing at home - next finder please bring a spare log! LOL

My muggle husband and I decided to take a drive and try and finish off this great geoart. Today we found 19 caches and 2 dnf's. By now I was starting to get a bit dizzy looking at the compass and then going around in circles so it took a little while to spot this cache. My husband got out to help and spotted it. The puzzle was another learning experience for us. Thanks for the fun
Ha ha, can’t believe we kept walking past it. Anyway found in the end. My 1500 find with this one. Tftc tnlnsl
A nice quick solve of this puzzle by Swearah. At GZ, we spotted the cache, not quite as per the hint but amazing none the less! TFTC!
This one was a fast solve once I found what I needed. At GZ we checked the close spots that related to the hint, but couldn’t see it. Krcamber looked over towards me and spotted it a little higher. Thanks for the puzzle letterbox cache!
Early start to the series this morning. Quickly grabbed the Trads before collecting the fruits of our efforts the past few months! Thanks for all the help and being the navigator Simba15

An early but foggy start today heading to Kilcoy, collected various caches & coords spot on which was so nice thanks Jacs Team SL TFTC
After battling with [B)] and finally solving the last few puzzles, today was the perfect day to head back to the hillsides around Kilcoy and pick up the last few Roses . Coords are all spot on and most were found quickly, though we did leave a couple of blue sad faces behind. A fun day was had and many thanks to JACS Team for an excellent series of puzzles, caches, hides and adventures. TNLNSL TFTC .
Today we tackled this series, with an early start we worked our way around the country side finding the solved puzzles.
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks JACS Team for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Interesting hint - BOT ?? more like AWH
All Good .. TFTC ..

TFTC. Teamed up with snakepiters to both solve and find these caches. Great bunch of puzzles to solve and get some new skills up. Have loved reading the story behind these caches.
Now only a day away from home and stopped by here to complete the Roses Geoart. Staying at the Showgrounds and dodging the rain clouds today. Teamed up with Cheekybum_15 to do the Kilcoy caches.

Decided this morning that Roses were on the plan. So of to Kilcoy I go. To do more of the rose. Done one so far. TFTC JACS Team #972 D18
Spotted from the road. Note owner's log on 11/09/2018. The size and hint are no longer accurate. CITO near this cache. Couldn't take the couch though. Found with MrDeb. TFTC.
Purrfect weather to get out and pick a lovely bunch of yellow I solved these before Christmas and have been cutting a few stems on the trip back from Cooyar to Brissy, occasionally. Today it was time to pull together the entire bouquet
Solved the puzzle quickly thx, but not so lucky at GZ as there seems to be interference with the signal. If someone could move the satellites closer that would be helpful Looked everywhere and anywhere and eventually ignored the terrain rating as recent rains have cause some growth, and wandered into the abyss where the cache was just sitting there. Had to prise the lid off.

Our third and final day in the area. This series is wonderfully constructed both in puzzles and design and types and nature of hides.
This was a quick park and grab once I ignored the hint! Lol slightly higher than that. The rain is not adding to the joy TNLN TFTC

Crookedpete was the inspiration behind our trip to Kilcoy today. With his cache count odometer slowly ticking its way towards 5000, he was keen for a sugar hit to his finds tally. I have been eyeing off this series of caches on and off for a while now, and CP's need was the impetus to get us out here. Before we could though we had to set about solving some puzzles. I had a few solutions already stored away but a mad bout of puzzle solving was required in the week before departure. I managed to solve all but a few, with the others in the Bromanceketeers filling the gaps.
An enjoyable day was had by all and our tally of caches was equalled by our haul of recyclable containers which we picked up along the roadside at each cache. We signed the logbbook with "Bromance" to save space not to mention time and our sanity. Thank you for your efforts in laying this trail of caches.

A day out with the Bromance saw a lot of laughs, plenty of caches including the Rose Geo Art, a lot of rubbish picked up along the way and heaps of fun. Sorry it has taken so long to log these, they were found way back in March! No excuse for not logging really - just a bit lazy I guess. Great fun, cheers.
