Hi there Ms Maddy, we found your cache #1 Don’t Fence Me In today.


Day five touring out from Nanango. Previous days have seen some great geocaching, and today is looking to be the same if not better.

Found this one easy, especially compare to the last one.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area today, endin up finding quite a variety of container types, sizes and ratings.

Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache near where our GPS said we should be looking.

Cache Condition: Good.

Regards

Easy peasy find tftc

Today was to be an easy day heading towards and around Cooyar. Previously downloaded all the caches into the GPRs and started off great, but soon turn to custard. Headed down the side road only to find that they were not in the GPRs.

I can't put into words for this log the look I got from Mrs Snakepitter. Suffice to say 'I told you to get the new GPRs'. was used with some adjectives.

Not to worry, we managed to get enough internet to be able to use our phones and navigate our way around.

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.

Easy find

???????????????????

Heading towards Cooyar on the way home after visiting the Bunyas.
Confused just now while logging as when we found this one it was #5 but now seems to be #1. We took this slight detour to visit some caches in the surrounding area.
This was a distinctive spot with the giant nest atop. Luckily found the cache quickly so did not disturb the occupants to trigger an attack.

Staying in Dalby for a few days and we stopped for this cache on the way. We drove up to GZ and soon spotted the little cache. All good with this one. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks Ms Maddy.

Took a detour and came up the road to collect this one. Quick find, all good here. Tftc Ms Maddy

Signed Team Grav (Domsky, Chamad, Triple Turmoil, Simber15, willis007 and Nayfee).

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Ms Maddy. Enjoyed the adventure.

With a 4 day weekend on the horizon, our dreams of one day collecting SSE, the Gravel Safari series and other caches in this beautiful area finally came to reality. My plans for day 1 were altered at the last minute, but I was very glad to be able to join this wonderful group of geo friends for a fantastic caching adventure from day 2.
This morning we hit the road and headed out to collect some great caches, saw some wonderful buildings, tunnels, trees, animals and had many many laughs.
The cache was found quickly, the log signed Team Grav which consisted of Simber15, chamad, NayFee, Triple Turmoil, Domksy and E_Smiley.
Thanks Ms Maddy for the cache and for showing around this lovely country side.

A plan was formed recently to camp at Oakey over the October long weekend (due to Ekka being postponed) and tackle the art and a number of fun puzzles in the vicinity. The call went out to a few others we enjoy travelling with and the solving began! Lots of back and forth between members and we finally had a full set a few days out from the trip.

The roads were wet and muddy but that isn't going to stop a group of dedicated geocachers on a mission! The rain held off which we were grateful for however chunks of mud were often shaken off shoes before returning to cars and moving on to the next one.

As is always the case when caching with others there were many laughs and a great time had by all. Always a great sense of achievement when you've been working through a project over a number of weeks.

Thankyou for placing and arranging this series for our enjoyment. The fields and flowers were in bloom. Birds a plenty enjoying the roadside water sources. The scenery was refreshing. Always enjoy a taste of the countryside. Logs signed as Team Grav (as in Gravel assault!)

Day two of our Oakey trip and a later start than usual.

We set off just after 9am and hit the trail, ughh.. Road? I don't know what to call it, but we travelled on it. Our main target for the day was the Gravel series than we slowly made our way north than south while collecting a bunch of caches along the way.

I have never ventured out this way before so it was a real eye opener, the towns, the farms, the flowers, the animals, you name it we saw it, well, maybe not everything because I was disappointed I didn't see an elephant, but you get the picture.

We certainly picked the right time of year as the Jacarandas were in full bloom and you wouldn't go through a town without seeing a bunch of them, absolutely stunning, it truely is an amazing tree and you can literally spot them from a mile away.

The team had an absolute blast and we thoroughly enjoyed travelling the open road breathing in the fresh country air, what more could you ask for? Well, a coffee shop perhaps since I went the WHOLE. ENTIRE. DAY without coffee and that is deadly, If i miss my daily caffeine goodness I become a terrible person and do bad things, other than that it was a very memorable day.

Thank you so much for placing this cache here for us to enjoy.

Thanks again Ms Maddy. We had a great day doing some of your caches. We will be back to do some more. Out with patrol14. Great day. TFTC.

While camped at  700acres farm for the weekend, TMZ59 and I are taking a drive around Cooyar collecting trads, solved puzzles and letterboxes.

A quick find. SL then returned as found.

Found on 29 October 2021 at 12.34pm. TFTC, Ms Maddy.

After a couple of days camping out at Carnarvon Gorge and chilling out it was time to return to civilization. Why oh why can I just not stay out in the bush it is so relaxing.

Rather than return on the boring highway route I decided to explore the back roads and check out a few places along the way.

Wow these roads out here are certainly dry and dusty today. The MUX is doing what it was made for along the way.

Seems there are five basic reasons one might need a fence. Coming in at 5 is RESALE . A quality fence with great curb appeal, excellent security and privacy aspects will improve the value of your lot, and if you are looking to market, it can substantially increase the return.

As always make sure you smell the caching s along the way, it is not just another number.

Picking up some caches whilst on my way to attend QOGM 2021 Paroo at Cunnamulla.
Cache found without difficulty, in the expected area. Cache in good condition.

A week long holiday of driving for the 3 turmoils as we headed to Emerald for the geoart.

Children made the quick find while I turned the car around.

Spending a couple of days in Nanango to collect some more smilies and this is our last day in the area. Thankfully there was nothing moving around GZ and the cache was soon spotted. TFTC Ms Maddy

Found at 1:50 PM GAFF1.
Gosh - is that an old waspss nest on top of that post? Better be as p-pprass has already had an encounter with those super quick wasps.

Found with goldielover here today. Camping near by this long weekend. Some great caching time.
Enjoying the country roads, the geomobile will be in need of a clean after this.
All good here with your cache.

Another fun find

Found after climbing the cliff un-necessarily. Oh well, no harm done. And I got down safely too, without getting out the abseil gear! Added my name to the log and replaced. TFTC, Ms Maddy. After here I drove on through Cooyar, and there were heaps of horses in the showgrounds all fenced in by the look of it.

Road was a little greasy on this day of sporadic showers and we accumulated a nice red mud pack on the wheels which proceeded to spatter its way off again once we returned to the bitumen. Cache was quickly fond and in good condition. TFTC

Forgot to add to my log that this way team Grundies 1600th find.

Such a clever location and a nice little walk up from another cache

Grey nomads, we have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Now we having to coped with Corona Virus ..... and social distancing, we are finally free to hit the road, even tho in this instance it is only for two weeks.

Today we are camped at Cooyar RV Camp on our way to Brisbane for the dreaded, but anticipated bi-lateral knee replacement. Also, the big #5000 cache is drawing near now - originally it was to happen at Millicent over Easter, but we all know what happened with that and the rest of caching for a few months.

Quick find, but blink and you could miss it. Thanks Ms Maddy

TFTC

WillPunkey, Scoob and I out to take advantage of the ability to drive further from home and abs to get out of the house and do some caching. Easy find on our way north

Another interesting series. TFTC

Heading west to check out the action around Cooyar & cleaning up a few stray spots on our map along the way.

A super quick find here, for Mrs VC, in an out of the way spot.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Camped at the Swinging Bridge Reserve.
Spent many hours before leaving home doing the many puzzles & jigsaws, today was the day to reap the rewards. We enjoyed our drive around the farming countryside. Avariety of hides & containers found.
Thankyou for placing this cache Ms Maddy

Found with Touchstone7 on a trip out west of Brisvegas. We were up visiting my father and decided that a little side trip around an area I haven't really been to could be fun.

And of course, there were caches.

Thanks for the cache and sorry for the late log. Sometimes life gets a little hectic

Enjoying the qld winter taking a short break west of our dad's with Genghicat.
An area of lantana and cactus. Shudder. So dry.
Cache was found in good condition a short distance from the hwy. Nice to have a couple caches close together.

While camping with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to get out and find a few caches ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

We’re going backwards a bit now collecting a few strays before heading into Cooyar. Thanks for the cache

Fred and Nobby have been taking their new roles in traffic a bit too far. Sargeant Stronginthearm is laid out on the Watch room floor and I think the rest of the guards on duty are too scared to approach the troll who is demanding to have the clamp removed from his foot. I don’t know how many times I’ve told them not to clamp trolls for lingering.

Found Ok

It is time to go caching again and the incentive for this day of fun was to attend an event in Toowoomba at 1200. 24 on my list today starting around the Cooyar area. I have 11 between Nanango and Toowoomba to find then there are have 9 in Toowoomba that I want to tackle and that leaves Mt Peel and three others for another trip. Then there are 4 on the way out to Leyburn for that multi.

Left Nanango at 0545 and arrived at this one at 0635. Driving along this road directly into the sun. After #4 had to turn around and drive back to the highway and continue my trip South. Soon got to the turn off and as I have a hide here got out and checked on it. All good here. Continued on for this hide. Could nearly have been a drive by if not for the recently graded road and the table drain and the small embankment to climb and of course the location of the cache. Quick find all good here. Now to turn around and head to #2.
