Slip sliding away... Colston Park, Queensland, Australia
By jonut73 on 05-May-19. Waypoint GC87DBX

We continued today our tour of Queensland and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.The weather was - said in one word simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood. The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.Thanks to jonut73 for the generation of this nice cache Slip sliding away... (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they happened.Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Got it thanks. Collecting a few caches while camped at Serena with Hans and Linda. This one took some searching for.

TFTC jonut73 your cache Slip sliding away... that we found today.An afternoon caching run with Liz and Bruce. Some a bit closer to town than this morning. Find Count: 20516

Caching in the area we pick up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

Enjoyed exploring the area, cache and contents were in good condition.

Many thanks for placing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience today.

Van Waverley Creek naar Mackay. Maar niet langs de A1. Onderweg deze cache gezocht, maar niet gevonden.

Well the last of the last of the last. Never say never which is the name of our trailer-sailer back home in NZ. This really is our last one for the day. Perhaps the trickiest. Couldn't pull in heading west but got it in our way back. Expected to have a view down the valley but not so.

Lots of litter and debris

Out on a trip from Mackay, log book damp thanks for the cache signed log

Great cache

That one rocked.

We pulled into the lookout to have a look for this cache. After a little walk around the familiar container was spotted in its hiding place. All good with the cache. Thanks jonut73 for this one.

Interesting story. Thanks for making us stop here.
Log is soaked and unusable unfortunately. We put a temporary log inside.
Maybe the next cacher can bring a new log?

There must have been some serious damage to keep it closed for so long. We were lucky to find it open when we needed to use the road. Thank you for placing the cache and the view. . . sort of.

What’s another one to the list! Read the info board here before finding the cache.

Working my way north, collecting a few smilies along the way, stopping at caches for either a requirement of caching or a requirement of a leg stretch. Some had some good reasons for a stop and some interesting placements.

I was heading to Sarina, coming down the range when I came across this one. I had just completed a few of the series of caches and letterboxes back behind. This was a quick easy find here, even in the dark of the night. I think the LED light gave it away. With the log signed and cache replaced as found, I was off to continue my drive and find my digs for the night. Thanks for placing this one here.

A quick find while out collecting caches in this area today.
Thanks for the cache jonut73.

Neat hide TFTC!

Good find. TFTC

Coming down the range after doing all day part of the Military Trail, we stopped here for a glimse from this Lookout! Wow, including a smilie for a cache!

Tftc jonut 73

We are back in this area ....first time up the Sarina Range.

Found your cache with Tbu1bikesu.

Tftc jonut73

Tftc, glad they have done some work, wouldn't want to slip slide away

Today we headed out from Mackay with Rainforest Cookie so we could attempt the "VC" series, - but we also had to find this one. As it's not part of the series it deserves a finely crafted log, not one of the crappy cut-n-paste ones that usually are associated with power trails.

Accessing the parking spot from the opposite direction, on a curve, was hairy - but the cache was worth it.

We found 61 caches today & DNF'd 5. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Nice little corner spot

was going past
after doing the Blue Mountain Mail run ...
so decided to stop for a look
took longer than it should have [:o)]
all good here ...
thanks for the cache

A great view hereabouts. Thanks for bringing us here.

3rd day in the Mackay area and the sun come out so decided to head to the Sarina area for a day of caching.
Feeling a little green on the range so good stop

Found with orth71 on a trip from Townsville to Mackay to see family for Christmas.
Doing the old sarina range road today.

Found - A bit tricky!

TFTC smile 7769 out and about with Hatzoff RoddyC Snickersallan youngoldfella and miss Millie geo dog having a great time day 4 to Mackay via Sarina 154 caches today plenty of caches ,very long day starting at 6am ending at 6-30pm lots of eyes make short work thanks to all the CO who placed and give so much fun to the caching community



Thank you, jonut73, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

I am 7 day geocaching adventure with 4 geocaching friends. It has been a long day and this day is coming to an end. We arrived lose to GZ and RoddyC soon had this one in hand. Now to head to Sarina for a well earned break. TFTC.

Day 4 of our northern adventures with RoddyC, Snickersallan, GrannySmith 1947 & YOF travelling from Rockhampton to Sarina doing the VC trail and the Navy letterboxes.



TFTC jonut73

What a day! Leaving Rockhampton with the sparrows (or was it earlier than that?) we set our group the target of finding all the caches of the Letterbox Naval Ships and the VC Trail, with a few extras thrown in along the way.

It was an exciting day but very tiring one, and at its end we crawled our way to our BnB in Sarina.

Because of the nature of the trail (and its hang-on caches this time) I am writing a generic log for all 151 found caches. I apologise to the other COs in this instance, but rest assured, I will not discount the experience I had at your cache.

So, "Thank You", jonut73, for the experience we had in this part of Central Queensland.

Day four of my visit from the Gold Coast with geo friends, RoddyC, hatzofff, grannysmith1947 and youngoldfella.
Nice easy find whilst doing the great Military related trails.

TFTC, jonut73

Had to flip over a few rocks but we found it - just started today with our 8 year old daughter

Gotcha !!! Last one for today. Left Yeppoon early this AM chasing an Earth cache for the souvenir and completed the VC trail after that.
Tomorrow a few around Sarina then back to Yeppoon. Bit over 800 Km in total.
Thanks for placing this cache.

This cache didn't slip by unnoticed today
And the nearer this destination,
the more determined I was that a smilie,
was not be slip sliding away

It said "Delores, this cache is here somewhere !!"
And after widening me search a bit,
I found me a cache
And yep !! It was what I expected to find

Good info on the sign nearby about the woes of this road

TFTC.

Not what I was expecting.

Cheers

Bundy

Can not stop blocked off by road works

TFTC

A little search and wasn't long and log was signed and replaced TFTC

Found TFTC

Found with greencordial, a nice quick find! TFTC!

Took a little while as we actually missed checking the particular section it was in. Once we chased away a curled up snake which was about 30cms away from the cache it was easily spotted. TFTC.

16/6/20 1055am Found it TFTC SL

Decided to head out for a drive after the abysmal weather e have been having, reminiscent of my Eungella days.
1st stop here. I was amazed by the traffic in both directions. I eventually found the cache, too small for my traveler, log signed headed off maybe the next one will be big enough
TFTC jonut73

T4T$ Thought we would take a little drive on Mother's Day after getting coffee at the Lil Ranger. With the hint, it was impossible to miss it.

Found nice one

Not hard to find with the clue

First ever Geocashing!! Found it and are hooked!! Went to the one at middle creek after with no luck but we will try again.

Awesome to read of this great bloke. Don’t hear of too many dedicated people these days

This one took a little while to find, but thanks for some nice Camo!

Found by Mary and David at 11:10. It's there, and you don't need to leave the car park. We do enjoy learning some facts and figures from caches we find. Add in a view and it gets a FP. Our thanks to jonut73.

Quick cache maintenance run after the DNF. All good here.

A quick find at this lovely lookout on the way from Sarina to Nebo

Too steep/slippery to walk down. Male Chatterbox shattered his femur a year ago on a steep incline Geocaching so no way if it was down.

FTF 3.45pm
Log to follow

*FTF*

Watched this one for a few days and decided to head down after an early finish from work.
Got to gz and found gc quite quickly.
Plenty of space to pull over.
Quickly SL and replaced.
