Found it on the way home from Miles.

A quick easy find. Thanks.

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 many hours completed the remaining caches I did not do on Day 1. TFTC JACS Team

Muggles driving past was the biggest challenge here.TFTC!

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.

Another one marked off. TFTC.

Love the hide thank you

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.

Quick traditional find in this series

Great little find

Quick find TFTC

Nearly at the end of the rose

After parking the vehicle along the nearby road, I jumped out and checked the nearby road sign first (as a few others in the series had these hides), before following my GPS to the correct marker and location. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. 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.

Ok pretty hill views while finding cache 2 for the day with geokid

There was only one place to look, and there it was. Quick sign and we moved along. Lots of road works in this area but we stayed stealthy. TFTC.

JACS Team I found your cache 65 Roses - 56 on 15/3/2023, 12:15 pm. This is my find 4838 and find # 5 today. A quick and easy drive by. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Find # 8360

Heading to QOGM 2022 Charleville

Alyce and I arrived in Kilcoy and thought we'd get started on the Rose, unfortunately we haven't solved any of them yet, so we decided to get started on the traditional caches and come back at a later date to grab the rest.

We had no issue finding this cache as the hint was accurate and spot on.

Thanks for showing us around and we look forward to coming back at a later date to complete the series.

#2940 - TFTC

Driving from Gatton to Sunshine Coast through Kilroy was the plan today. Hopefully collecting a few of the rose caches as well as some high favourite caches on the way.

I didn’t get as many of the rose caches as I would have liked but certainly made up for that with a number of other caches. Some very very cleaver caches that have given inspiration.

Tftc.

The rose caches were very good with all found in good condition.

Quick find with the family while introducing our muggle father to caching

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.

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
A quick find and grab for the last traditional. I will have to come back for the puzzles.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Tftc!

I wanted to keep up my tradition of finding only one, individual cache in a geoart … this would be the 3rd time I have done this (Cotton, SSE and now this). It’s become a bit of a tradition.

I will certainly be back… need to do some solving … . Was just driving through and this was a new LGA.

Thank you JACS Team for placing this cache for me to enjoy! It was great to catch up on the weekend. Thanks for helping put on the mega!

Mr close-by seemed to need help. I got out of the car, walked across the road, and BINGO! HE got it. TFTC

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

With 8 of the 65 Roses left to find, and a spare day off, I decided it was time to head out and finish the series. With geopup on board, we headed to Kilcoy.
This was the second stop for the day and after searching for quite a while, I consulted the CO and a previous finder for some help. The previous finder confirmed my thoughts of where the cache should be, and after returning and searching again was not able to find the cache.
With the COs blessing, a new cache has been left at gz, now covered with a rock.
Thanks JACS Team for the great series and cache. I am very happy to have now put the beautiful rose back together. Adding another FP for the series.

Found it. Out for our Friday drive with the usual crew Peppa, Pirate Linda, giraffe 18 and a few ext catboy67 and bulk thunder. Another fun Friday ??

Found it

Found with Peppa, Giraffe 18, 2manytrailers, blkthunder and Catboy67 on our Mega day of attempting to do the entire Rose series. Wish us luck. Milestone for Catboy67 -

And the race was on and 2manytrailers and blkthunder.
Out with PirateLinda and Peppa and CatBoy67 and blkthunder and 2manytrailers

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…

My friends must be getting hangry as 2manytrailers and Blkthunder raced to find this cache… tftc…

TFTC!

Nice hide found with my new geocache buddy asher and kris_cs1.


TFTC.

TFTC! Made this more effort than was required to find.

Ahah! *slaps knee* now THIS Cache has a story.
Not a long one, mind you, or even a good one. But one at any rate.
You see,
When i was makin' my approach on the tredley upto gz, there was this bloke like, all dressed up in his work hivis getup, leanin' against his ute with a stop go sign.
Right there opposite gz.
I was like, "...hey.. "
He just raised an eyebrow.
So I started explainin' about this worldwide game where we hide boxes of different shapes and sizes around the world and then try to find them and when you find it, you sign them as proof you were uh.. really there.
He then pointed to the grader just up the road that had just cleared the side up.
I gulped and started to pray.
I prepared to go into the long grass, but for some unknown reason stopped to check the hint. Hmm..
Ok, lets have a look. Bingo!
By some miracle, it has somehow survived the graders onslaught.
Who knows how long or will it be just as lucky in future refurbishings, but by the grace of the almighty coconut, this cache has been saved to be found for another day.
The guy seemed mildly surprised about the entire surreal encounter and i'm sure passed it onto his two scowling friends off in the distance.

Made both our days.

I'm also convinced on the particular day i was there, they were making catfood in the factory opposite, for that's sure what it smelt like.

Thanks a bunch JACS Team for leading me down this ole lane discoverin' things.

Night find

Interesting smells around here tftc

Awesome thanks

Tftc

Tftc wasn’t the nicest smelling one to do

TFTC

Easy one. TFTC!

I had been going stir crazy locked in the house so intended to take a ride on the BVRT. It was raining near Esk my intended start so I just did a driving loop including a few Roses in Kilcoy.

( PS Late log is due to a review showing I had a few unlogged caches in 2021)

Tftc

Found while doing what geocachers do all is in good condition here Thanks

Thanks

tftc

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.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

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.

24,391. 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

Left the Mega and 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. Instead of a fire, I kept the car heater on a bit to keep us warm.

Signing the logs as BBK today to save space.

Thank you JACS for this cache!

After a great day yesterday attending the a mega and chasing types, today Karicka, BenM70 and I targeted collecting some of the 850+ solved puzzles on my list.

No problems here. Logs signed BBK.
Apologies for the generic logs but I’m sure you’d understand.

Thanks JACS Team for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

Big day on. The CacheQld Dayboro Mega is happening. After getting 12 types yesterday it is time to smell the roses. Hopefully there’s not too many thorns to avoid
Downs from Townsville with burgo78, we are attacking this series with karicka and signing as BBK
Thanks JACS Team, for planting this cache for our fun and enjoyment.

#10954 - 14:14; 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....

Not sure why this is even here. Cache found, signed and returned. Thanks for hiding it for us to find.

Time to move on to the stem of the rose. All good here. Tftc JACS Team

A very quick cache... it was exactly where I expected. I think MrG thought I was a bit crackers going there. TFTC JACS Team.

A very early start today out of the Kilcoy golf course. My first round in years and it showed. I'll put this one down as a practice round

I wanted to get a few caches done on my way home and I spotted GZ pretty quickly.

Thanks!!

#2791

A nice easy find that we could access after parking nearby. Thanks for the hide.

Another day in Kilcoy, hoping to finish off the 65 Roses series of caches. So far the caches we have found are well placed - and they are a joy to find. Just a couple of long grass treks today but still an enjoyable morning caching.

**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:** Nothing

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Ian & Penny

Today the geo daughter nd I decided to he’d out for a day of caching in the country. We packed the van and headed towards Kilroy to knock over a few the caches that make up the rose.

A bit warm but lots of fun. Thanks to the co for placing the caches.

Found all good here. On our way to claim some of the puzzle caches now. This rose is simply great in this area.

TFTC

Nice quick drive by TFTC

As previous finders have commented this cache has a cracked lid, it disintegrated when I picked it up. I had a very similar one in the car so I replaced it. Swapped all the relevant bits and replaced at GZ.
there was someone in the driveway nearby but they didn't seem to be paying any attention to what i was doing - I hope that's the case.
tftc

Found it at 9.50 on 21/12/2020 lid broken and getting water inside. Tftc. Find number 812 for this piratelady. Yoohoo me hearties

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.

We took the car to find the rest of the roses.
This one we found easily, but the lid is broken.
TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Lid still broken. Still ok

Found ok. Cache lid is broken. TF this series, JACS Team.

Good one container is broken log still ok. Tyfc

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 #8298}*

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.

TFTC and TB visits

Hooray thanks for share DeafPhantom

Found it ️
With Deafcat

Camping in the area for a few days and grabbing few caches too. Once at GZ it was a quick find.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

TFTC JACS Team

A nice fresh log to put my mark on . All's good at gz . Thanks JACS Team

Cache check: fresh log book for this full little bunny.

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.

Another Great day out doors to do this series.

Great day, great weather, great caches.

I have started to feel the pressure BFG is streaking in front of me. It’s a matter of pride now. Lucky the game was strong within me. (Re, my car door was closer) and I was rewarded with this one.

Found another. Love it tftc tnlnsl
