Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache.
Had to wait while the occupant of a vehicle was 'right there'. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long for her to settle in then leave the area.No torch needed. A quick grab and return.TNLNSL.TFTC ...

Travelling this great country of ours, collecting caches along the way. I'm stopping here for a few days, so out and about. Thanks for this cache.
We travelled into the outback of Queensland - towards Charlesville.We did a lot of puzzling, research and planning in the run-up to our tour.This is our first major tour into the outback.We start our tour in Toowoomba and continue via the A2 to Chinchilla to the big melon. A longer stop was made at Miles Historical Village Museum. In Roma we also visited the big bottle tree.On our 3rd day, we start our tour in Mitchell and continue to Morven.We planned a few days around Charlesville, Morven, Augathella and Cooladdi for the respective trails.We had beautiful weather - and a wonderful time in the Queensland outback. We enjoyed the breathtaking landscape with its red sand, impressive animals, starry nights and golden sunsets.We would like to thank all the owners for the great cachesTeam sissifalke
33,585. Found during our Queensland Outback GeoMuster (QOGM) 2023 Longreach Adventure - a 33 day epic tour of Northern NSW and Outback Queensland finding many caches, attending great events and catching up with awesome Cachers along the way.Queensland Outback GeoMuster (QOGM) 2023 Longreach Adventure Day 30. Today we packed up, did our best to clean out Chinchilla (including a very important Adventure Lab point at the Big Watermelon), then headed South and West through Tara, Moonie and into today's destination St. George (a new LGA for me). After all that driving and caching we enjoyed a few beers at the St. George Hotel while the AFL Grand Final was on. We still had 4 days and lots of caches to go on this trip. This was the next one on the list. Quickly found once at GZ. Signed as F65 and A33 as required. Replaced the cache as found, then we continued on our journey.Thanks to all the COs who put out these caches !!
QOGM 2023 Longreach Day 30. Traveling Chinchilla to St George via Tara & Moonie. Fitzy_1965 and Albida33 are on our trip in early spring to Longreach. The journey home is well under way and today was a morning caching around Chinchilla before packing up and heading south. Lots of driving again today, but we found a few caches to stop at along the day, including one puzzle we solved just for this day before we left. The day warmed up after a few cooler days. In the afternoon we tried one of the St George pubs, but went back to camp to cook. Thanks for the cache Runawayz44578.6 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & Harp A#129**Albida**
On our way home from the QOGM 2023 and stopped off in Chinchilla to do the local caches. A nice quick find for this one. TFTC Runaways
It’s happening, it’s finally happening! Alyce and I are going places and grabbing caches while on our way to QOGM.
Our day started early in Caboolture South and with the car packed and a list of caches dialled in we were on our way. We made our way along the Dag’ Highway to Blackbutt and Yarraman then down the New England Highway grabbing a few caches in the vicinity than arriving at the Warrego and taking that all the way to Morven while stopping at several places in between. Unfortunately we had to leave it at that due to fading light and made our way to Augathella for the night.
What an adventure! The places you visit and the experiences you have is something else.
Thanks for bringing us here.

My gosh a basketball player must have last hid that. My shorter stature was a good 40cm of anywhere near it, so had to hunt for an implement. Retrieved finally and added pathfinder tag. Left implement in garden for any other shorter cachers.

Well my trip up to QOGM has officially started and I’m taking the very indirect route up to outback QLD to get there.
So after cruising up the Hume to Sydney then the M1 and A1 up to Byron Bay with a few other roads in between as I have been cris crossing a bit so it is time to start heading west.
I have never been up this way before so it will be interesting to see what towns I come across in my travels.
After spending the night in Texas I was heading to The Pink Pub at Dulacca for the night.
Continuing along the Warrego Hwy on parts that I haven’t travelled on before.
It wasn’t lunch time yet so I didn’t have a use for the hub today.
I was able to park right near GZ and made a quick find.
Thanks Runawayz TFTC.

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Today we headed off from Toowoomba and out around Chinchilla where we will stay for the night. A great opportunity to grab some around the area. Different and challenging hides.
Stopped off here and made a quick find.
Thanks Runawayz for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Quick find while in Chinchilla for the Melon Festival. Now for a coffee before more caching. TFTC
Found at 2:12 PM GAFF1
So pleased with ourselves that we spotted the "container" nearly straight away and managed to do the business in seconds and get out of there before anyone came out or in from the shops - who saw us passing by in cars and trucks - well that is anyone's guess
Thanks Runawayz.

Found whilst on a very non direct route to QOGM - Charleville 2022. 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.

On the road again, heading to Charleville for Qogm. Did your Mini Hub today. 12 September 2022 12:25 pm Tyfc Runawayz total caches now 5218 .
We are on a 2 month trip from Portland via the Mundi Mundi Bash to a wedding in Brisbane and then out west for QOGM in Charleville.
Today we left Warra and headed to Roma for a couple of nights but we were able to stop in Chinchilla for their famous Saturday Only doughnuts. We jumped on the bikes and toured around town including the AdLab.
Thanks for contributing to the fun

At the time of day that we arrived there was not a soul around. We sat and consumed a few donuts that we had bought up the road and then had a look for the cache, a quick find for us today. SL TFTC
Up from Tassie for a 10 week foray in Australia. Heh heh ! Continuing our liesurely tour whilst making our way slowly towards the Gympie Muster at the end of the month. Would you believe it was raining as we stepped out of the geovehicle to grab this one. Its great when you can pretend to be talking on the phone and poking about at the same time. Only two cars here anyway. TFTC Runawayz.
Parked bang on GZ and spotted the bath salts thru the windscreen
Popped over to GZ for an easy find

Pa and I are in town today to do some necessary shopping. Who can come to such a town with so many caches to be found without grabbing a few. A quick find here of a cleverly named cache. TFTC TNLN SL
Just over freezing this morning. A bit chilly for us Brisbanites. But it's good to be up and moving. Thanks for giving us something to do this morning before we continue on to St George.
Magnets have detached from this one but being magnetic, they still do the job.
