Take a Break and breathe the air. Queensland, Australia
By QOGM Committee 2019 on 16-May-19. Waypoint GC87XYM

We enjoyed our trip north this morning, finding a number of caches along the way. This was one of them. This cache took some time to find. WE had to expand the search area, finally finding the cache 7m south of the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks COGM Committee 2019 for the cache.

Quick easy find TFTC

Good spot to pull off the road. As we pulled in, counting down the distance to GZ, we sailed right past the spot and had to walk right back!! Thanks for the stop-off and leg stretch

Found with e.gregory1 on a trip through Broken Hill, Tilpa, Bourke, Cunnamulla, Charleville, Tambo, Blackall and Barcaldine to attend the QOGM at Longreach. After QOGM I travelled solo to Emerald, Biloela, Monto, Gayndah and Kilcoy on my way to Brisbane for a few days before a return drive back to Adelaide via the north coast of New South Wales, central NSW and the Riverlands. We spent two solid days of entertaining caching in the area around Charleville, Cooladdie, Augathella and Morven before heading along the Landsborough Highway to Tambo and Blackall. Thanks for the cache QOGM Committee 2019!

Found as I travelled up from Adelaide with FeatherWaite to the QOGM event at Longreach.The plan was to head to Cunnamulka via Broken Hill and Tilpa, then up to Charleville to complete the caches that had been published since we were last there a year or two ago. From there we were planning to go to to Longreach via Barcaldine, although the exact route would depend on how much time we had available.The weather was a little warmer than we had anticipated, but it made for some pleasant evenings as we camped out along the way.Most of the caches were found without any issues and were in reasonable condition unless otherwise indicated.Thanks artesiancacher for the cache.

On our way to our first ever QOGM!!! Really looking forward to it and exploring Longreach once again. Found on another beautiful day in the Outback as we travelled from Cunnamulla up to Blackall. Thanks for the cache.

Icybeetas and I took a break but you wouldn’t want to breathe too much of the air here today after the recent fire nearby, if you were asthmatic.
Fortunately the fire did not reach the spot where the cache was placed.
Thanks for another happy face on our maps.

On the drive to Tambo this cache was found. Cache and log were in good condition.

On our travels we found ourselves heading to Augathella and took the opportunity to grab a few caches, a nice quick find in a easy road stop, thanks for placing it

Something special or unusual goes here:Found. The Generic Bit:QOGM adventure - I was able to catch a ride with Muff1 who were heading to the QOGM event and team up for 3 weeks of caching adventures. 3 weeks in a swag - will my back hold out[?]Day 7: Today we moved northwards again from Augathella to Blackall. I had solved many puzzles in the weeks leading up to this trip and today was another day that I could at least get a bit of return for all the time spent in preparation. Over 30 caches found and although I had a DNF as few phone calls whilst we did a week's worth of clothes washing paid dividends and that was able to be corrected before moving on. !**SAs Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. - BOING*****Thanks artesiancacher for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Well the trip was well and truly underway. I have never been to a QOGM before, and since this was the last one I decided to head up there for the fun. We continue heading north cleaning out as many caches as possible along the way. This was the next find of the day. A quick find once at GZ. Signed the log, usually as F65 A33, replaced the cache as found, then we continued on our journey. Thanks QOGM Committee 2019 !!

On the hunting trail with SeasonedBird while on a slow roundabout route to QOGM 2023 at Longreach. After 5 days on the on the JPT trail (and still one to go) it’s off to Tambo for a couple of days to check out the Tambo Teddys and the daily chook races. Of course I’ll be grabbing whatever caches I can find along the way. A quick find here. It’s a great day for caching.

For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

We are now on our way to Longreach for the QOBM event next month. As we missed the big event here, it was now time to grab some of the caches around the area. A big day today, doing part of the triangle puzzles qne up to to Tambo.

Stopped off here and made a quick find. Thankfully with all these flowers, there were no bees.

Thanks artesiancacher for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Cleaning up all the great caches put out for the Charleville and Blackall events. We were overseas and weren't able to attend. Thanks for hiding.

Hello fellow geocachers!

We embarked on an exciting adventure today, determined to find this hidden gem of a cache. The weather was perfect, with a gentle breeze and clear skies, adding to the thrill of our search.

The journey to the cache was an adventure in itself. We followed a winding trail through a sparse forest, carefully stepping over fallen logs and navigating around prickle bushes.. The scent of kangaroo poo filled the air, and the lack of birds didn't serenaded us along the way.

As we approached the cache coordinates, our excitement grew. We noticed the cleverly disguised container tucked, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Kudos to the cache owner for their creativity!

The location of this cache was absolutely breathtaking. We were rewarded with a panoramic view of vast nothingness andd no shimmering lake in the distance. It felt like we had discovered a secret spot known only to geocachers, and we soaked in the beauty while signing the logbook.

A special shout-out to the cache owner for maintaining this hidden treasure. Your dedication to the geocaching community is truly appreciated. It's because of people like you that we can enjoy such amazing experiences.

To all future geocachers who stumble upon this cache, we hope you enjoy the adventure as much as we did. Stay determined and have fun exploring the great outdoors.

Signing off with geocaching joy,

Found Ok

Very big day out with the gang. Heaps of miles and heaps of caches. We had a ball. Thank you for the fun

QOCM this year (my second) had a very slow start. With the first couple of days I was a little under the weather & mostly house bound; I was appreciative of the group to battle on without this key member .

The weather has been perfect & the cache hides great as usual… some more great than others. I don’t recall any DNF’s but then again, who wants to!

The gadget caches were fabulous, the challenge caches challenging and will remain so for a while yet as I try to qualify. Therefore, a bit of work to undertake.

Once finally in the field I signed as either Muggle 65 or MB&C2 on muster days. Thanks to the QOCM team for putting on another great event.

Traveling to Tambo to get remainder of QOGM 2022 caches with Tenkae and Geopuppies. Enjoying the scenery and the great company as always

Day 4 of my QOGM trip: It was another big big day for us, the Charle Villians (CV’s)! It was finally time to tackle the Triangle, with of course a side trip into Tambo to pick up the north Murweh caches and some odds and ends in the Town that had been missed on previous visits.

This was a lovely drive with not much in the way of traffics - just what is needed when collected roadside caches on main roads. We saw a few other caching cars along the way all around the triangle, but we travelled the day with Disister and the Simba15 cars, until Augathella when the two other cars combined into one.

All in all a very successful day of caching and we just made it back in time to attend the event and had a great time chatting with other attendees about their Murweh adventures.

Big thanks to the QOGM committee for the puzzles and caches we came across today all were found, signed and replaced before moving on to the next.

Day 5 of my QOGM adventures with Willis007, Chamad and JACS as the Charli-Villians (caches signed as CVs). However, some caches we joined forces with a bigger group of people and to save space on the log paper and time in the field, we signed as Outlaws (particularly for the MT triangle puzzle series). We completed some caches around town, the MT puzzles, a trip to Tambo area and finished of things in Morven now that we had mobile phone service. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots achieved. When we work together, we work productively to get everything done.

Careful observation of the area made me aware of the slippery slope into a barbed wire fence.

A huge day today completing the Murweh Triangle with a side journey back to Tambo to pick up the remaining caches I didn’t get to a few days ago. For such an ambitious goal, we decided to join forces with the CharliVillains and Simber15 and call ourselves The Outlaws for the day. An early morning start saw us head firstly to Augathella before deciding that we would have enough time to add Tambo to the day. After lunch there, we collected the next leg of the triangle on our way to Morven. With time ticking by and an event back in Charleville to get to, we left the Morven caches for another day and proceeded to collect the remaining caches all the way back to Charleville. We timed it perfectly to arrive back just in time to head straight to the event. A fabulous fun day. Thanks artesiancacher

An epic 500km adventure to complete the Murweh Triangle via a side trip to Tambo! They say there is safety in numbers and so again we teamed up and formed a convoy of 3 cars - this wittled down to 2 cars after the first leg as MrWindy opted to bring EagleEye09 back to base camp as she wasn't feeling great. I then jumped into the back of DiSisters car and on we went. Working together we logged all caches as 'Outlaws' or 'The Outlaws' for simplicity.

Gotcha !!! Caching with Dandent at QOGM2022. TFTC

Having a good go at the Murweh Triangle️ today

We had planned a road trip to Queensland to visit family in 2021, but our travel plans were stalled due to border closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the world was trying to get back to a semi normal state, we decided to have another go at getting away from the cold and head up north for some sunshine and warmth.

Day 6 of our trip saw us travelling from Charleville to Tambo and picking up caches along the way. Some quick puzzle solving was needed as new ones were published while we were still in Charleville and they were going to be on our journey to Tambo today.

All caches were found in good condition unless stated.

Thanks for the hide QOGM Committee 2019

GT37 and I left for a 4 week holiday and it is over 2 months so far. The Townsville Mega was great and then we seem to have taken a wrong turn, North instead of South. We drove past this as we were admiring two elderly gentlemen on their pushbikes. They were rather slow so we had to allow them time to move on before going back. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

Best approached from "old road", too much long grass otherwise. Thanks. Good break from cycling south.

Today we moved from our camp just north of Charleville on the Warrego river to Tambo. Only a short drive but with the opportunity to pick up some caches along the way. Once in Tambo we set up camp just out of town and then proceeded to work on the caches around the area. Some great points of interest and features and a variety in cache format.
Thank you to the COs for your work in developing and maintaining the caches.

Day 2 of my outback road trip - Mitchell to Blackall via Tambo. After leaving Mitchell before sun up, I was getting close to Tambo by mid-morning and wanted to find these caches along the road heading in.

Arriving at gz, the cache was quickly spotted. Log signed, cache replaced as found - all is well with this cache.

Thanks QOGM Committee 2019 for the cache.

Today was the third day of my little journey to and around outback Queensland. While I’m not in a hurry, I do have a list of caches that I do want to collect along the way and probably some extras as I see fit. It won’t be hard to continue my challenges of a trad a day and a cache a day challenges for the next few days, I am also hoping to pick up a few new challenges along the way and some target caches too.

After my great night stay at Lake Broadwater, it was time to move on and head towards Tambo which is my goal for today.

A quick grab here and on to the next, some familiar names in the log. All good with this cache and with the log signed I returned it as found; thanks for placing it here.

This was a long distance driving day today, with ilook4geo and covering about 700 km with a grand total of 12 caches found. We have cached along these roads before, so just picked the odd few that were still unfound. This was the an easy find. Log was signed with both names and all was replaced before we moved on again. Thanks go to QOGM Committee 2019 for putting this cache into play.

We drove a long way today with goingplaces2 and collected some caches along route. It was a lot cooler in the car than outside, so that was good. The caches found gave us reason to stop occasionally. Quick, make the find and get back in! OK. TFTC.

On to my next camp I managed to grab most of these on the way. TFTC artesiancacher

We are heading into Blackall for the GeoMuster again this year and after so many miles without any caches we had finally come into an area where they were a lot more prolific so of course we were going to stop at them

We nearly missed this one as we were chatting and the turn ion wasn't very obvious, luckily there was no-one behind us and we made it into the first entrance. The cache was spotted as we pulled up making for a nice easy find and the log book now contains our name.

Thanks QOGM Committee for the third of what will be many cache finds over the next few days.

Wow back into full gear today with 20 caches found. With thanks to Team Webguy who replaced my missing cache at Wanaaring, we were able to take a short cut and keep our streak going. By finding an EarthCache today, we have continued our different type of cache on every consecutive day for 31 days to 33 days now.

Too many stops, I just want to get there.
