Travelling through Blackall with goingplaces2 and located a few caches. This wa a quick find. TFTC.
Just passing through Blackall today with ilook4geo, so we only wanted to do a few quick caches and go on further for the night. We had a few solved puzzles on hand so decided to look for those. Each was an easy find and each had two more names added to the log. Thanks for the cache placement go to RoddyC.
Have been planning a trip around central Queensland for a few months and noticed quite a few puzzle caches here in Blackall. Managed to solve a few before arriving here. Had no trouble finding any of them. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache
Last day in Blackall visiting family today before we drive south. Had a quick drive around town to collect a handful of caches I had solved but hadn't bothered to go and sign yet. Tftc
It was a steepish climb to prickly tree to find this cache. Luckily no scratches this time and I did find the cache.
A puzzle that I solved before my Longreach trip. An enjoyable "crossy" whilst learning and researching some of the history of the area.I started on Blackall's southern puzzles and challenges series at 12:50 hr, and it took me a little over one hour before I finished at [Grey Nomad Challenge](https://coord.info/GC8DZQ9) at 14:00 hr. I subsequently stopped at this geocache, and after a short search, the cache was found quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [RoddyC](https://coord.info/PRC80AY) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This 1.5 week trip, the purpose was the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster (QOGM) in Longreach, with its aim to encourage tourism and support in rural towns. Departing from Brisbane on Friday 15/09/2023, I travelled solo taking the northern route through Gayndah, Emerald and Jericho on my way to the event, and then returned through Blackall, Morven, St George, Goondiwindi, and Toowoomba arriving back on Monday 25/09/2023.My Longreach highlights included the two QOGM muster/rally days visiting Muttaburra and Isisford; the Qantas Founders Museum; Stockmans Hall of Fame; Silver Tails Rail Sunset Tour; and the general historical town vibe. Other highlights to/from Longreach included climbing Mt Scoria; Barcaldine's Tree of Knowledge and kayaking in the water park; Blackall woolshed scour; and the smaller intriguing and historical towns that I passed through.During my travel days when I was time-poor, I targeted geocaches that were older in age, high D-T, puzzles/challenges, and rare cache types. In addition, I added 7-8 visited LGAs to my statistics.The scenery was memorable with picturesque sunsets, and a diversity of flora and fauna. There were plenty of kangaroos and wallabies, emus, goannas/lizards, brolgas, hawks, and alas wild hogs, and goats.Today, with Longreach QOGM finishing up, it was time to commence my two-day drive home. After making an early departure from Longreach following the [QOGM 2023 CITO](https://coord.info/GCAAHTW) event, I passed through Barcaldine, Blackall, Tambo, Augathella, and then finished up in Morven where the [Morven Major Munch](https://coord.info/GCAE0HW) dinner event was held. I made sure to see the historical sights like the woolshed scour, murals and drilling setup in Blackall, before playing through the Wherigos and finding puzzles and challenge trail. I extended my day after sunset, and completed the Murweh Triangle (MT) geoart puzzles from Augathella to Morven. It was a fairly full day in warm conditions, but the geocaches placed from previous QOGMs were enjoyable, and it was good to add Blackalls LGA to my statistics.Adventure Labs completed: [The History of Tambo](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/0c74ee1c-bb7e-46cc-b899-55918a0094d4); and [Augathella Art](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/a28da373-e575-4d0c-b1f2-14a832b17597).
Day 17. A last minute plan had been hatched to make my by way to QOGM. Very little planning had been done but a very rough outline was in place and it was going to be a day by day trip.A wonderful stop in Augathella overnight and today we are on the home stretch with Longreach our final destination!Slowly getting towards Longreach grabbing some solved puzzles along the way.Thanks RoddyC for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Are you planning a trip to Victoria? Check out some of these caches on the nominees list for the 2022 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards. The shortlist is available [here](https://coord.info/BMC8QYR)
DAY 12The last leg of our journey to Longreach to join in the QOGM festivities after traveling 12 days zig zagging our way through NSW and visiting family on the coast. Teamed up with RoamingHowie at Coffs then made our way to Bourke and up into Queensland, caching and camping all the way. With only a few more towns to visit we should make it to our final destination late this afternoon.Working our way through some solved puzzles. Thanks RoddyC for the Mystery placement.

Something special or unusual goes here:Found it. 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 8: Having set up Camp in Blackall last night and remaining there for tonight we had a full day to cache around the area. In the morning we set out in pursuit of the Evora Road Bison Trek returning via some of the JPS series before the need for lunch kicked in and we gave up on them. After lunch is was off to get the challenge caches and then onto a few solved puzzles ending the day with the Barcoo Night Cache. What a day. Over 60 caches found with no DNFs today. **SAs Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. - BOING*****Thanks RoddyC 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.

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 to all the COs for putting out these caches !!

Tftc RoddyC, we missed this puzzle series last time we were in Blackall
Now we have the time to collect the smilies for our puzzling efforts.
Now we have the time to collect the smilies for our puzzling efforts.
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. Another big day today, doing some of the trails around the area. Today was a more relaxed day, picking up a few with Woolaston just around Blackall.Stopped off here and made a quick find. Thanks RoddyC for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.
On the hunting trail with Happy Feet while on a slow roundabout route to QOGM 2023 at Longreach. Currently based in Blackall to continue clearing the local map. 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.

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.

After a bit of a snooze we all hit the road again. Doubt we will find a coffee cart out here another fun session albeit pre breakfast
Another solve, no doubt late at night.
Out on the Trail this afternoon after signing a few of the challenge hides along this dirt road.
Almost back to civilisation again.
The car is muddy!
All good here with the hide.
Thanks RoddyC and QOGM 2019

This tall, thick grass is making it tricky to get to GZ - it is hiding a multitude of tripping hazards [B)]
Cache was found outside its little nook, so we replaced it with some branches to stop it from falling it out.
Thanks RoddyC.

Travelling homeward bound to Busselton from the Townsville Mega, how lost can we get?
It’s been 2 months since the CacheQld mega and we are still in Queensland, that’s still a long way to go to get home to WA
But the fun bit is, finding all these geocaches along the way.
No matter where we park our caravan for the night, it’s always an exciting day to see this great country through the eyes of the local geocachers.
Thanks to all the COs for showing us your favourite spots along the way.

Like all geocachers, I’m taking the scenic, slow route to Townsville. Along the way we detoured for, amongst many others, this geocache.
Puzzle solved, it was time to find the cache!
Thanks for placing the cache RoddyC, without hiders the game wouldn’t exist.

A nice relaxing puzzle for this one.

We had the puzzles for this trail sorted out before heading out this way, most of the hard work done by Swearah as always
We crossed over and headed to Crossy. I thought I’d better contribute and luckily it was an easy find. Thanks RoddyC!

Found while traveling on my 'Quest to the Cape' trip from Adelaide to the northern tip of Australia on Cape York Peninsula. The plan was to tour along the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, out to Noccundra and through Quilpie, Blackall, Barcaldine, Hughendon and Ravenshoe to Cairns, then out to Weipa and up to the top. Based myself at the Barcoo River Camping Area at Blackall for two nights, heading out each day to do a circuit of caches in the area. Thanks for the puzzle and cache RoddyC and QOGM 2019!
These puzzles have been solved for a while. Now that we are in Blackall we won’t be leaving until we have looked for them all.
The rain stopped yesterday, but we had to wait until the sun came out this morning before we could drive the vehicle out from the riverside camp without ripping up the ground. Unfortunately a number of others didn’t have either the time or patience to wait with the result the entrance to the camping area is all rutted, ripped up mud. After 2 days only able to walk out we were glad to be able to get out and find more of the caches around the area. Thanks to all the COs that have put them out, we’ve had fun exploring the area, finding all the things the locals know about and seeing the sites. We appreciate your efforts, and the efforts of the locals who hav3 welcomed us and helped us while the mud kept us captive!

Day Five of our caching adventure in Blackall. Today we attempted some caches in and south of town.
Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that I can claim the finds.
08/01/21 Today caching around Blackall and surrounds. Roadtrip Mackay to Emerald to Barcaldine to Aramac to Blackall to Jericho over the next 3 weeks. Lots of puzzle solving before and during trip. Searched area and found GZ . Replaced and signed log. TFTC SL
Blackall Trip Day 1. Spending a few days in the area caching and sightseeing. Found and signed quickly after previously solving. Cheers
Great cache. Thanks for arranging and interesting placement. Our thanks to RoddyC for placing this cache and enhancing our enjoyment of the area.
Day eight of my outback Queensland trip and hopefully I will get Blackall completed and be in Barcaldine by the night. Wow there is so much to do in and around this town and some really fun caches. Again I will have no problems in continuing my challenges of a trad a day and a cache a day.
Meet up with Willis007 for an early start, as there is a good deal to get completed today. Plus it was nice to have company on the drive around today. The plan was to do the loose caches , the Evora road trail, wool scour trail, Ravensbourne road trail and anything else as we pass. with most of the hard work already done it was a matter of signing logs today.
All good with this cache and with the log signed and cache returned as found, it was onto the next one. Thank you for placing it here, I really enjoyed the drive around this area today.

Day 6 of my travels north from Adelaide in search of some warmer weather and a few caches. After travelling up the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, I made my way to Blackall via Quilpie and Adavale and stayed for a couple of nights.
I had previously been to Blackall in May 2018 and found most of the caches in the area. But since then a whole lot of new ones have been published - enough to make a return visit worthwhile, particularly given that I really enjoyed travelling around the region last time I was here.
Today I headed out with a view to finding a selection of caches of interest. They included around 24 Traditionals, 20 Mystery caches (including a night cache), 9 Letterbox hybrids, a Wherigo and an Earthcache. Only one of those ended up being a DNF.
Prior to leaving Adelaide (in fact over the past year or more), I put quite a bit of time into solving the puzzles up this way in anticipation of my next trip to the region.
Thanks RoddyC for the puzzle and the cache.

Queensland Outback Geomuster 2019 trip to Blackall. Day 5. The second full day of organized activities took me, along with Smittengranny, Nana Nel and Wazza to Isisford. We took a detour along the way and had a great day from breakfast to dinner with a mayoral meeting in the middle. Another hot day on the road. Before we headed off to Isisford I visited a few caches just outside of Blackall.
Thanks.

Out this morning after a great breakfast event to gather a few of the mysteries solved around town. Picked up with King Lizard and Waz and Vik.
Out today around Blackall doing challenges and puzzles. A quick find for an interesting puzzle.

Today we tackled the newly released caches and some others along the way.
Another mystery done and dusted, cache and contents were in good condition.
We would like to thank all the cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment

I do like the puzzles I can solve without interweb help
I guess I've visited Blacky enough by now to know the answers from memory [:o]
See what geocaching does to you !!??
So at the calculated coords,
the cache was an noice quick find [^]
But while finding this cache,
I noticed a nearby vehicle behaving suspiciously !!
I followed it and met up with a couple of locals who actually knew where the next puzzle cache was
Bonus cache of the day [^]
Though I will have to figure out the puzzle now

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
Something very unusual for us we came up with a solution how to solve this one very quickly and to our amazement the checker gave us the green light in a very short time. Today was the day to come and collect our reward, this time we made it harder by missing the cache on our first look and sure enough when we came back to where the GPSr was indicating the cache was there this time but at least we added our name to the log.
Thanks QOGM Committee for the forty first of what will be many cache finds over the next few days.

Day 8 on our road trip to QOGM 2019 at Blackall and today we make our way from Alpha to Blackall. We had a great day making our way around the area and enjoying the fairly quiet roads along the way. After arriving in Blackall we were soon out searching. Thanks so much to the COs for placing the caches here for our enjoyment.
Having met up with JooJoo57, Richmond Lad and Selva Girls, we headed out to find caches in and around the Blackall area. Sorry these are generic logs but with so many to do from this trip I only made rough notes against some of the finds. Just enjoying being here for QOGM 2019. Signed logbook with JKRS
Out here , staying at Blackall for the QOGM 2019 Event. So many caches and so many to find. Thank you to all CO's for the placement of these caches and bringing us to places we would probably just drive past. Found the cache, signed the log and returned it to where it was found.

Found by Mary and David at 14:00. Mary loves crosswords, and is missing her big weekly one from the Sunday Herald Sun back in Melbourne. Our thanks to RoddyC.
TFTC,
After a sort of bad start with some of the puzzles, I made contact with Everlasting and Nana nel to continue working as a team. We managed to solve all the published puzzle caches before leaving home and have continued with the new ones.
Came out today with AU.Fait to find some caches they had missed and continue with collecting cache finds for ourselves.

Attending QOGM19 and after finding all the Cotton Series in Emerald Snickersallen and I chose to find these puzzles before arriving at Base Camp. Great puzzles. TFTC
We are in town for QOGM 2019 and are very impressed with the quantity and quality of cache hides and styles. We struggle with this style but at least it is not of the cryptic style.

TFTC. We had solved these series of puzzle caches while we were housesitting innBundaberg. Some were straightforward while others required some joint effort research. All solved in the end. After finishing the picture book trail we were returning to camp on the Barcoo. A short detour to find some of the puzzle caches on the access road.
Headed out this way with micaparamedic with the intention of finding the picture puzzle series. After a short diversion for a couple of traditionals we are now onto our original goal. TFTC RoddyC and QOGM Committee
Camped at Barcoo Reserve for the QOGM event Blackall, grabbing a few caches on the way. We visited your cache at 1:34 PM Logs signed Coongoola or CG. Thanks for placing this cache RoddyC and QOGM 2019
Arrived in town in time for morning tea and are camped near the river. After checking out the map I decided to go for a stroll to pick up a few caches. Silly me! Once I started I just kept on going despite the midday heat.
Found and signed the log though it took longer than it should have. Was it that Sam(sung) was sending me round in circles?

Now that this one has been found I will log my golden smiley. It was really good day when the CO and I drove around and around this area placing hides and there are still more to come up the road a bit. There are more hides to be released prior to QOGM2019 and of course there will be some released in batches over the QOGM2019 weekend as that is what the plan is especially for first to find releases. there are some extra benefits coming your way when you come to Blackall for QOGM2019.

Camped at the Blackall caravan park with Roostaman and X-Trailers.
This morning we headed out with Roostaman to complete the Evora Road traill before heading further afield to see what Geocaching could show us about Blackall.

**# 25384** Found on our 2019 winter escape trip to Qld with Mrs Roosta.
Another perfect sunny Winter day for a drive around while staying at Blackall.
Hardly any muggles on the road, usually good coords and safe hides.
Another different puzzle done and a good sized container here, not a micro.
Thanks for the cache RoddyC,
