65 Roses - 31 Mount Kilcoy, Queensland, Australia
By JACS Team on 13-Apr-18. Waypoint GC7PQRE

I let Shazzar66 walk through the wet grass for this one. I'm very generous, I know. A puzzle that wasnt too hard to work out. Technology is my friend, although Im sure there are cachers out there who would work out the details with pen and paper.Shazzar66 and I spent a rainy Friday looking for some Roses. Not 65, unfortunately, because I havent had a chance to solve them all yet.The log was signed, ShaDup, (always said with a bronx accent).Thanks, JACS Team, for the series.

Out with Duppers once this morning doing a few of the 65 roses.Quick find at this one after reading hint and some past logs. All good with is cache.I found your cache, 65 Roses - 31 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.Took us a while to eventually spot this one in amongst the long grass. A couple of photos in old logs helped us a little. 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

During the first lockdown in Melbourne, instead of making sourdough bread or starting a veggie garden like everyone else, I focused on solving puzzles.This definitely wasnt a Park & Grab for us. We probably spent half an hour searching before eventually stumbling across the hide. Thanks JACS Team for the variety of puzzles and the caches.

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

We spent some time here looking. Then, we checked some earlier finds out . And soon spotted what we were after. Tftc

No stump there

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!

Out geocaching w Treasure Trakas and enjoying the lovely weather and gorgeous scenery. Apologies for the generic log however with the better part of the 65 Roses to find and log, cut and paste has beome a necessity. Thank you JACS Team for the effort in putting this series together.

Out for a day of caching with SusanDW. We had a great day, finding all the caches that we looked for. A day with no DNFs is always a great day. Thanks to the CO for this fantastic series.

We planned a family camping trip to Kilcoy a while ago, so I started solving the 65 Roses series in preparation. Combined a morning of caching in with the Yowie Parkrun, two of my favourite things. Thanks for bringing us here and maintaining.

Parked and started the search here - 20 minutes later I found the cache. I am so pleased that the grass had been slashed otherwise I would not have found it. I must admit that I must have walked straight past it on my initial search.
A fav point too ! For the cameo container !

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, as it just involved a little maths and projections, and thus the coordinates were put away ready for a future visit.

After parking the vehicle nearby and taking a walk to GZ, I checked a few places before subsequently finding the cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and although the inner container was cute and nicely themed to the cache type, I couldn't see a stamp. 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.

With the kiddies at home Alyce and I decided to head to Kilcoy for a few hours to get started on the Rose.

We had a blast navigating the roads and enjoying the beautiful Somerset region. This place is truely breathtaking. I don’t know what it is, but I have a feeling it must be the country roads and getting away from everything, it’s something else. We don’t come here often, but we’re looking forward to returning to finish the series.

Thanks you JACS Team for the placement, puzzles, ongoing maintenance and for keeping this series alive.

Thanks for bringing us here.

JACS Team I found your cache 65 Roses - 31 on 22/3/2023, 11:35 am. This is my find 4858 and find # 7 today. Found it after a brief search. At least this area has been mowed. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Targeting only 4 letter box caches while passing through

TFTC

After parkrunning in Nanango, we passed through Kilcoy again with the aim of finding a few letterboxes.

My GZ was a bit further up the road. The lil letterbox was pretty cool.

What a year Sandyofthesea and I have had. We kitted out the Prado and took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April 2022 to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. We started with the Nullabour, Eyre and York Peninsulas, the Riverlands, visited family in Victoria and then back in SA it got cold. Flinders and the Oodnadatta Track was cold and we finally warmed up in Dalhousie Springs. The Alice beckoned and then change of plan and ended up tackling the Tanami Track to the Kimberley and Bungles Bungles. Territory Day in Darwin was unhinged - please try and do it! The Gulf, the coast and the car breaker ‘Old Tele Track’ to the top of Cape York. This is a must but it’s not easy! Eventually made it to Brisbane to get some fixes to the car….. let’s see where we end up.

JACS Team, I found 65 Roses - 31 today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Smelling the 65 Roses series.

Took time to admire all the local creative letterboxes too.

Took a bit to find the stump, letterbox and contents wet, placed in additional 100ml sistema and placed rock on top. Pic added for reference.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Very cute, dried and cleaned the little fellow then placed the container inside a new 100ml sistema. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

Find #10699

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.

We have been targeting letterboxes, puzzle and multis to help complete challenges that we need to log the monthly challenge. We were in the area today and decided to grab this cache as it has been on our to find list for a long while, as we need this to qualify for a challenge.

Stopping in Kilcoy for a few days. Having previously contacted the CO of 65 Roses, today we headed out to tackle a few more, well with great weather and an easy run we actually completed the series!
All caches logged by us have been refreshed/replaced and left in good condition, with notes sent to CO.

TFTC JACS Team

New log book in.

Big thanks to FlexiII for their work refreshing the series post flood. This one is ready to go!

Up early this morning & off to find the FTF unleashed by Team JLBL & like all those preceding us ?????? no luck finding this one!!! But we aren’t claiming an DNF, just accepting partial frustration.

?????? & I looked for what seemed forever unmolested by muggles at 8:30am in the morning.

So leaving that location we had more success down the road at the challenge caches ?????? and then off to Tiaro & onward to our main hunting ground in the Kilkivan area.

Starting our day before the sun came up, we finished it a couple of hours prior to the sun coming up the next day, Simply because a FTF opportunity came up just after we arrived home & had started to relax. So at Midnight we sent off for a bicycle ride along the gateway to finally claim a FTF for the day?? or was that for tomorrow???
Don’t care!!! Going home to sleep ?? sleep ?? ?? ??.

This find was a serendipitous one; we had zeroed in on the GZ & there was no stump to be found at the GZ coords. While we were searching we were approached by the owner of the house close to the GZ. He had seen our lights (being about 9pm) & was curious as to what was going on. He came down to inquire to our presence and asked me what were we looking for.
Honestly I had no real cover story at hand & so explained exactly what we were doing & described what we were looking for. He responded by saying, “I can show you where the stump is” and thus he did!
We got into a conversation about geocaching & he was very interested, wanting to know more so that he could then explain it all this to his wife.

What was interesting was that he had moved into that house in 2018 and as he regularly mows the nature strip out the front of his house, he’s known about the cache all these years but never understood what it’s purpose was until tonight! The stump, he told us used to be a foot or so high, but now it’s literally 2 to 3 inches high with a flat rock sitting across the letterbox cache.????. The stump is easily missed & not quite at the coords gz coords, so move further outward & it becomes obvious when you notice it ??????.

Need to investigate this one.

Gotcha !!! Well its still there , solid as a rock but a bit moist. TFTC

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.

I wasn’t confident here after reading the previous log. However I found the stump and removed the big rock, then dug down through the soil and smaller rocks and eventually found the cute little red letterbox. It was full of dirt and wet, but the waterproof log paper was OK.

Thanks JACS Team for the cache.

Not sure if it was me today or the floods

Found what I think is the only stump on that side of the road close to ground level but no luck with a cache

Took a photo of the co wants to confirm

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that i can claim the finds or not as the case may be. TFTC.

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

These caches were actually found quite a while ago, however, I was tagging along with Willis007 (not even aware that this geoart existed!). I love geoart so it didn't seem fair to rob myself (and the co) of not solving the puzzles that go with it. So, with permission, I am logging as I solve.

Now, stuck in isolation and struggling through day 12 of the dreaded Covid-19 virus, I have plenty of time to work through these puzzles (and harrass a friend for subtle or nuclear hints - thanks Peppa!)

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.
We needed a hint from the CO to find this one and still had trouble! We moved aside about half an acre of long grass searching and then just as we were giving up for the second time, we moved further along and finally spotted the really obvious item in the hint! Cutest little letterbox I’ve seen. TFTC JACS Team

Out on a caching day with Triple Turmoil, we headed up here to pick up some of the roses series.
I have been working on these puzzles for quite some time and collected a small portion of them last year. Today's target was to collect as many as we could, however, the Bruce Highway traffic ensured we had a late start.
A massive thank you to the CO who has put so much thought into an extremely well-themed cache series, the puzzles have been great to work on. Thank you also for placing and maintaining the caches.

Found it with the usual crew Peppa, Pirate Linda, giraffe18 and a few extras catboy67 and bulk thunder. Another fun Friday

Found with Peppa, Giraffe 18, 2manytrailers, blkthunder and Catboy67 on our Mega day of attempting to do the entire Rose series. Wish us luck. By this stage we had switched passengers so many times between the two vehicles I decided it was time for a change of drivers. Woohoo I'm at the helm of L'Diva

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 puzzle, that thanks to some acquired skills I could get a solution to…

Once at GZ, it was left to Catboy67 and I to look for the cache… thankfully he spotted what the hint was referring to as I totally overlooked it…

With this number of fave points, I have to assume that somewhere in the past circumstances have changed here…. As this container, cute as it is, doesn’t provide much protection for its contents…

We dried out the log and replaced the snap lock bag… tftc…

A quick find at gz with a cute little container. This is of course after spending ages gazing at the water nearby. I wonder if you can swim in it. Hopefully the factories effluents aren't floating downstream with the fish.
I'm so glad there's discrepancies in the checker. Again, aah certitude you legend.
This puzzling letterbox had me in circles for ages. A nudge in the right direction had me sorted.
thank you again for the cryptic help given when prodded. Oh,
And of course this amazing series.

Cute container but rather dirty . Tftc and puzzle

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

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. This one was wet and full of dirt.

24,379. 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.

Thanks JACS Team !!

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 !

Thanks for the cache JACS Team

Plans slightly changed. Travelling with Albida MinnieK and Fitzy after leaving the Dayboro Mega event. We collected a few trads on the way to doing the Roses. Thanks to all the COs for their work in this area. Despite the rain we had a great day superseding my expectations . Signed as FAMS

Headed to Kilcoy for some flowers with BenM70 and Burgo78 on this wet day.
The area here will look fantastic when the sun comes out over all the green pastures, but today it was really a day to sit in front of a fire.
Finding a letterbox cache is always a good thing.

Cache 7329 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 quick find this morning!

Thanks JACS Team for the cache and the fun!

#10929 - 12:17:00 PM; 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....

We were concerned that we might not be able to locate this one as someone has been through here recently and done a big clean up. We did find it but it was about 13m from our GZ when found. Thanks for the cache.

We didn't get off to a great start on this one as we had a couple of DNF's early but we got better as we got into the trail. We only had time for a few of these but we can say that we enjoyed the variety of hides and except for the dnf's found them to be relatively quick finds. We did find one of the field puzzles and did enjoy that.

At the mega we were told more about the meaning of the 65 roses and thought that it was a lovely idea for a series.

Thanks JACS Team we will have to finish this series off on another visit, please excuse the generic log as all our notes for this series were drowned at Dayboro and we now know our camper has a small leak.

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.
This puzzle took me back to high school maths! Quick find of the cache but the snap lock bag is broken, I didn’t have a replacement with me.
Tftc JACS Team

It's always a pleasant surprise to solve this type of puzzle, I'd hate to have to do it manually. We were really starting to doubt the solved co-ordinates so checked some previous logs... 'l4 metres away'. Worked for us too. 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.

TFTC JACS Team

After finishing the Dark Side of the Cache early, TARDIS0061, crash2079 and I headed out to find some Roses.

Thiss as took a while to tweak the answer and make the find.

TFTC.

Full log to follow

Our drive around Kilroy continued and this was the next cache on our solved list. I love Letterbox caches and was looking forward to attempting to find this one. Once at the GZ we could spot a possible hide location and were rewarded with another cute, well themed cache container. A favourite point from us for the container.

First day 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. At our last location we had to wade through head high grass, dodging cobblers pegs, bindeis and spider webs for most caches.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache 14 metres from where our GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container was buried and full of dirt.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

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.
Day 2, hope to finish off picking up the roses today. Appreciation for your work in making the puzzles and taking the time to maintain all the caches

Then we took the car to find the rest of the roses.
This one we found easily.

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.
*{Overall find #8281}*

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.

Hooray thanks for share DeafPVC

Thanks Deafphantom for sharing the puzzle. Great place to visit. Thank you for the hide. Logging with DeafPVC

Found it with DeafPVC

Wow, some weathering and other stuff has gone on here. Sadly the fairy door is no more, however with a bit of water and a polish the little letterbox remains! Replacement log as well.

With a planned weekend caching trip to grab the nearby dark series, I had today to make my way up to Kilcoy and grab a few of the rose’s series. A planned meet up with my “bud” team tyrrell for drinks at 6.00pm meant I had 3 hours to grab a few beforehand. Having solved a lot of these a few months prior and a few more over the last week it was time to see my achievements.

I was pretty excited to be out and getting into this series, I managed to get 30 of the series today and a couple of DNF’s, which I informed the CO about. There were some funny and different caches in this series and I wish I had been around when the original caches were placed. With the caches found I signed the log and replaced as found or better placed as a few were in the open or not attached as hint suggested.

Time to head to my camp ground and get ready for the weekend’s events. Thank you to the CO for this series.

Bit concerned the cache could be destined for the depths one day! TFTC JACS Team.

I'd call this a baby bump
All good with this cache.

My Muggle husband and i decided to go for a country drive and find some caches . this was our second find for today and we found a park really close and admired how green it was compared to our last drive. I was keen to finish this series but think i have still around 8 to go after this trip. This was a puzzle that Bear0503 and i did on our lunch break and we learnt something new which was exciting. At gz my husband waited in the car as i saw where the hint indicated. What a cute cache. Thanks for the fun puzzle and apt cache. Giving this a Fp

This series was solved before departure from Adelaide and was on the cards for today, we managed to find about 1/3 of the caches before DNFing 2 so after that we left it as we knew we would have to return to complete it one day.
Most of the caches are in good condition although some of the field puzzles were broken and some of the caches were missing bits and pieces of there containers.
Overall a good series and a bit of fun.

On a holiday to Queensland to meet up with my two younger brothers (JL Rockstar) for a holiday/caching trip, a 4 day adventure that started with some disasters but slowly got better throughout which ended on a high.
Travelling up to tin can bay and Gympie, our to Kilroy and south west out to Ipswich.
Overall a great trip away with a total of 79 finds excluding the almost 50 labs found.

Thanks for the cache and it’s placement.

First of the rose series we tried to find. Easy with hint. Heavy rain over last few days s log little damp, but entry made without problem. TFTC

This puzzle was solved by Swearah. We had come across this technique before so it came out pretty quickly. A quick grab in the logical spot at GZ. TFTC!

Quick solve on this puzzle as I'd used the technique once before. At GZ I stood in an ants nest while retrieving the cache and did a little dance to shake those buggers off. Quick find though thanks to the hint. TFTPC

I spent the last morning of our Sunshine Coast holiday out in the country, tackling the second "half" of the 65 Roses geo-art. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenic drive this series took me on and my thanks go to Jacs Team for putting together this geo-art series for us all to enjoy.

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 and foggy start today heading to Kilcoy, 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.
