Showed up on this our GPS and didn't realise it had been archived. Found on the grave. Managed to sign top of log. TFTC

Found while at a nearby event and I didn't realise it had been archived until logging.

The Cache keeps being moved from behind a grave to being placed on the grave. The cemetery itself is interesting as a lot of pioneering families are at rest there plus some old headstones are creative. I will look at placing another cache there at a later date making sure it cannot be moved plus placed well away from actual graves.

Out caching with Dora the Explorer! and Phil Serenity today.

This cache was found after a short search.

The log was signed where we could find a little space but the log is now completely full.

Don't like doing caches in a cemetery so left wife to do the looking. Found but better on the fence or bush

Took a little while. Felt a bit funny and lack of respect to the grave site. Log book full.

TFTC smile 4056 found on 1-3-19 on my way to Highfields Event out and about with miss Millie geo dog we always enjoy a walk in a cemetery Thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Rest In Peace all that are here especially where the cache is. Thanks for this one

Found with Muriel

A bit uncomfortable caching here

Pen wouldn’t work. Unable to sign but tftc

Found felt little strange but signed the log

Today was the day to complete the Geoart on the BVRT.

We put our mountain bikes in the car and started collecting all remaining caches.

TFTC - went for a bit of a drive to clear my head but had a ghostly time!

On our way to Kilkivan for the 2018-2019 New Year Event. Found with BigRed17. TFTC

The ghosts greeted us upon arrival. Oh phew. It’s just the gum trees creaking. . Got it!

Found it. TFTC

Heading for home with wombles and 1MinnieMoo after a fun weekend away in Toowoomba. Of course we had to stop and create a few new smileys on the journey home.

At GZ we hunted around for awhile until finally the sneaky beasty was in hand.

Thanks for the cache HRH54

1minniemoo and I were following nyssaflutterby and she turned down a street then stopped. We hadn’t realised we were stopping here.
After a short walk we started looking around. I moved something but we didn’t think that would be it. I moved it again and yep there it is!

A girls weekend away for NyssaFlutterby, Wombles&Co and I. We had spent the weekend in Toowoomba, and were on our return journey to Brisbane via Esk. A quick stop in at the cemetery (no intention of making it permanent ), and after a little poke around, Wombles found something where I had already looked and discounted. I should've known better.
Thanks for the cache HRH54.

This was the last stop for the day other than to get a 6 pack of sherbets on the way out of Kilcoy on the way to Brissy. With the majority of stops managed to find the caches inclusing 4 oldies. Lucked remained with us for this cache and a quick find. Thanks for placing this cache HRH54.

Not so sure about the GZ here but I suppose no one will complain! Lovely little cemetery. My fave place for caching.

Nearly gave up as we weren't expecting it to be so close to the grave, however very sneaky and good challenge for us! Hint was very useful! D&B

A trip to Toowoomba for the GIFF event was extended into an overnight stay with 2 days of caching shoehorned in. Day 1- an early start, before heading to Toowoomba via Kilcoy, Esk and Crows Nest.

Having visited Esk several times and hence cleared out all other caches within Cooee, it seemed rude not to grab this one in the way past. Took a few moments looking before I read the clue and then the hide clicked, having seen similar before. Still not a natural thing to want to grab, but cleverly hidden nonetheless.

This find makes smilie # 5,697. TFTC **HRH54**, discover our trackable and mention this cache

We are a pair of Grey Nomads slowly circumnavigating this great country of ours. Currently staying at Ipswich and checking out the areas around here. Nice spot to rest your bones. TFTC.

Very clever hide! GPS bang on here and found this rather unusual hide. Have found a similar one before, so didn’t take us too long to make the find here. TFTC

A beautiful place to rest tftc

A new caching day
Time to go and find one !!
First stop at the bottom of the hill was here in the dead centre of Esk

How convenient that it is next door to the hospital

I paid me respects to the four servicemen's graves by the front gate,
and wandered down the back to GZ.
Where I stood in reverent silence for a while,
trying to work out where the clue was

Oh there !!
So the cache must be there !! [:o]
It seemed a bit odd poking this location,
but it turned out to be the correct one

Thanks for a memorable cache

Lovely quiet spot. TFTC

TFTC ... and a lovely spot to wander around on a sunny day.

A quick stop on our way to catch up with a friend from Perth who is riding the bvrt. A short walk to the gz. Was not sure if it was where I thought it could be and it was. Tftc

Found with only minor complications, we hadn't bought tweezers with us

This afternoon T-Tech and I took a drive through Caboolture and Woodford out to the northern end of Lake Somerset, collected caches as we headed southwards towards Ottaba and Esk, then took the road back over Mount Glorious to home.

Last one for the day, and we only just got here in time before the sun set. GPS was spot on, and T-Tech discovered the hide. Wasn't really expecting it to be that... TFTC, HRH54.

IolantheK was getting cabin fever at home so we took a drive out to the west side area of Lake Somerset, to collect a few caches [^]
We arrived this cache (our last for the day), I did the spying this time spotting something that fitted really well. Wow that is a really clever, sneaky hide
Really enjoying this CO's work [^]
TFTC, HRH54 another fav point from me (I think I may yet exhaust my supply !!

At the end of the day after finding many of the Coat Of Arms series in the area, I felt like doing a 'normal' cache to finish off.

All I can say is 'Very Clever' hide and very apt. for this location.
Added Fav. Point, not just for the hide itself, but for finishing off our day off so nicely.

All good ... TFTC ...

We had just knocked back a couple of hugh parma for a farmer meals and washed it down with a couple of cold beverages at the Esk pub. While having lunch we noticed a new cache had been put out since our last visit to the area, so we thought a walk over would do us good to settle the parmie, so we jumped in the car and drove over.

We parked out the front and wandered in, looking first along where we thought it would be but couldn’t find anything, resorted to the hint and oh ok looking in the wrong spot. Now pretty sure where it will be but not being game enough to move it the job was left for Mr 4ando and there it was.

We read the saddest tombstone we have ever come across on our way out. Time now to head back home and give the yaks a wash down. It was another fun day in an area we love.

Tftc HRH54

Heading to Somerset for a paddle this morning, then I'll be off to smell some roses in the afternoon and tomorrow. To cold to paddle real early, so I had time to round up some strays on the way.

No body about at 6:30am on a very cold winter morning. I spent a bit of time looking for this one. As previous finders have mentioned I would not expect a cache to be there. Not the first I have done like this though.

A find late in the afternoon after cycling a good length of the rail trail.
great hint helped.
Thanks

Love old Cemeteries, so much history. TFTC

Hampton to Toogoolawah overnight in the shwgrounds. Touring to Lake Somerset & returning via Esk
A good variety of caches & hides found.
Thanks for placing this cache HRH54

Uhm, cemetery cache. We love to wander around old cemeteries and read the history but, personally, we feel uncomfortable with finding caches placed inside cemetery grounds. Yes, we can choose not to do the cache but we are addicted and we do like old cemeteries, why are we having a winge. All sounds a little hypercritical does it not.
The hint was helpful and a previous log that mentions that they would never have looked 'there' opened our eyes to look for a hide that is outside the box. The co-ords, according to our Garmin Montana 650t, are spot on.

A quick find on our way home from a trip further west.

Today was phase 2 (day 2) of our assault on BVRT. Accompanied by MM the remaining Roo's were first on the menu with an early morning run on the geocycle north out of Esk.

Now in the second part of today's adventure we started with some Emu and then worked our way back towards Esk though a Shiled and some remaining Roo's.

We took a short detour to this cache and obviously MM was delusional by this stage as I take no responsibility for not being able to locate a cache that i had never found before. In fact i think this cache was relatively easy for this the first time i had found it.

Another superb, salubrious, sunshiney day out on the BVRT We began by corralling a mob of roos near Esk. There was walking, talking, riding (for some), coffee , beer, and more

This cache came at the end of a long morning of walking the trail and should have been a quick find as Ruzzelz had already logged it. But do you think he could find it? Cache is looking a bit battered but got the job done. Certainly an interesting spot

Log to follow.

Out for a Sunday drive to fill in an empty spot on the calendar for the traditionals. With a little heads up I began my search. It wasn't too long before I had the log in my hand ready to sign. TFTC HRH54

Found with bennyboppers mnance01 and I this morning on our way out to Nanango. tftc

Out for the weekend with lisylou and jemilucy and mnance101 first one

Out caching for the weekend with the Tough Mother’s (Jemillucy, Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

First find of the Tough Mother weekend away. Tftc.

Down from Toowoomba with a friend for my cache for the day...I was very grateful for the hint here as it was not somewhere I would have considered looking otherwise. TFTC HRH54

Headed to Esk for this last cache today.
Arrived and made our way in.
We were the only ones here today except for the RIP,s here.
I passed one which nearly made me cry of a sweet cherub with its fingers in its mouth asleep set in stone.
Arrived where we needed to be and the cache soon came to light.
Signed the log and returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks HRN54 All good with this cache

Found! Thank you!

Parked up by the boundary fence before a short walk into the cemetery and the cache was soon revealed. All very quiet here today and the hint was good for us. TFTC HRH54

We attended an event in Toowoomba t lunch time and there were two hides down in the Lockyer Valley we wanted to find so we found them and did this one on the long way home to Nanango. Quick find. I personally do not like this placement. Signed log YOF as that is what I use on small and micro logs to save space as I tend to write big. TFTC HRH54

After an amazing geocaching holiday with my geohubby WallabyTim, we were making our way home from Plainland to Noosa the back way via Kilcoy. The original plan was to head straight home but the allure of caches was too strong. This ended up being our first find of 36 for the day.

Found this cache with my Amazing Geo-Wife KaleidoscopeCass during our 6 day roadtrip starting off with the Geocaching for Newbies event held at Widgee, Qld. Cache was found and signed and logged, Thanks for placing this cache and being a part of our journey!

YFTC people die to get here

Today was planned as a big day out finding Hidden Creatures with a few roses.
But on the way there stopped to find a few of the new caches that are in this area. [^]
A bit chilly here at 7am but I made a quick find and back to the van.
Thanks for the cache.

**FTF** 06:33

Heading down to Kilcoy to find a bunch of roses today, but first I wanted to drop by and find this cache... hopefully before anyone else, hehehe. It was so very foggy this morning, which makes for an excellent cemetery atmosphere. I searched where I thought the most appropriate place would be for a cache here, but was surprised to discover it somewhere else. Thanks for the cache, HRH54,

We stopped in here this morning on our way to Kilcoy. Second visitors today.
Thanks for the hint and good coords HRH54.
