A nice easy find. Tftc

Original cache has been found and the replacement has been removed. Thee is a new log book in the cache as the other one is very wet. Container has been dried out. Thanks to Princess1005 for doing this for us.

Parked on the side of the road . Stepped over the large ant nest and into the scrub.this area looks like it has been flooded not long back, and the cache was missing. Talked to C.O. and with his permission, the cache has been replaced, including new log and things for the kids. It's now tethered to a just of the ground. It's ready to be found.

Thanks to GEM-54 for replacing this one. Thinking washed away. All good to go once again.

Searched for 20 minutes without locating the cache.

Found after a bit of fighting with long grass. TFTC!

Bloody Ants!!! Got up my legs, under my kilt. Thankfully no ant bites. TFTC

Continuing along the dirt road from the previous cache this one was soon in hand. All good here, log signed and replaced found. Thanks for another one youngoldfella.

Found Ok

Tftc. Kids loved it

Hi there youngoldfella, we found your cache Bents Road Cache ( Watch for Trains) today.

We started the day off by nominating a cache cluster in an area we would like to visit, and then took a route that was determined (mostly) by the next closest cache as determined by our GPS.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area and ended up finding 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
Ian & Penny

Found! After Sar went hiking through the bush grumbling about the grass Thank you! Bri and Sar ️

Found it after a bit, kept looking at it from the wrong angle haha! TFTC!

We are on a caravan trip, exploring the area and collecting smilies!

You have put out a lot of caches for our fun and happiness! Thanks a lot!

We are staying couple of days in Bundaberg as that is a beautiful place and a nice variety of different caches waiting for us.

Tftc Youngoldfella

Had to go a bit further out of town than we had planned after a DNF at the last one, so headed on to this one.

We have moved on from Caboolture and wound our way north to Woodgate. Not much caching to be done but some relaxing time walking and riding along the beach and catching up with family.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache youngoldfella.

A trip north with the girls to visit some friends. After a great night catching up we then headed to the flourish festival in the park, the girls loved playing on all the rides and so forth.
A drive around Bundy collecting caches and eats. Now it was time to head into Maryborough again and stay the night for some Mary Poppins in the morning. We headed down Goodwood road and collected caches as we passed.

Thanks for the cache, with the log signed and the cache returned as found, we were then off to another in the area.

Found after a small adventure.

We took the long way in to get this one then saw the short way out!

TFTC

Thanks for the cache found after a bit

Day 17 of the road trip to Townsville with LuckyL10n for the mega and today was day 4 of the drive back to Canberra.

After a second night in Bundy it was time to head off for Caboolture, with a few stops along the way of course. Heading along the back road to Childers we stopped for a few interesting caches to help with a few different cache types. No issue with any of the first few and the caches were all in good condition.

Many thanks for yet another cache on the trip YOF....

#14362 - 8:57:00 AM; Day seventeen of the Townsville Mega adventure with Sol de lune. Left Bundaberg lthis morning heading for Caboolture, collecting caches along the way to add some more counties to the collection as well as some adventure labs too. Another where we had to run through the jungle to get the cache! All caches were found in good condition unless noted in the log. Logs signed L.L10n & Sdl or vice versa. TFTC youngoldfella

Quick easy find. Thanks.

The grass around the GZ is very long and itchy but we found the Cache.

Thanks youngoldfella for the cache.
Found at 2:36 pm on 16/1/22.
Find # 2407

On our way to Bargara for a week of caching, stopped off here on our way. Walked straight passed this one initially but soon found what we were looking for. TFTC youngoldfella

Found it.

A pleasant surprise, the biro actually worked. TFTC

Easy find, took 1min. Nice, well prepared cache. TFTC.

In the area today and picking up caches along the way and this was one of them.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for me and others to enjoy.

TFTC youngoldfella

Today I had an opportunity to visit this area and finding a few caches.

Thanks for hiding and the maintenance.

There has been a lot of work done on these back roads and with most of them the cache container is quite close to the road side now. SL TFTC

TFTC. We had been in town for an appointment. On the return we decided to detour down Goodwood Road to find a few caches. This was the first of three before we had to get back to continue work on the Motorhome. Things should be dry by now.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Day 4 of my week away exploring Bundaberg and Maryborough.

Today was another long day and I will be doing generic logs to all the caches.
My apologies to all the CO's.
A big thank you to all the CO's for their hard work in placing and maintaining all the hides for everyone to find.

I have enjoyed my long weekend in the Bundaberg area. Still a little time to find a few caches before heading home. My phone refused to settle on a GZ here, so I searched quite an area before finally locating the cache and signing the log. TFTC

Tftc. Good fun.

Took a while but got there in the end.
TFTC youngoldfella

Tftc youngoldfella, no trains here today. Just us and a cache.

Staying in Bundy for a few days and finding some caches in the region.

Third day of Hervey Bay caching fun, and Bundaberg today, planning on a bit of a caching cleanup at Bundaberg, Bargara and likely more in Hervey Bay.

TFTC

Quick find. Tftc

Despite the cache notes,
finding this cache did not present any dramas,
or even a train to spot !!

A short poke around roadside,
and the cache was found

TFTC.

A great day for exploring the region. TFTF.

A great spot and a nice easy find TFTC

A caching day with Wazza9 and Liz and Bruce, a quick find. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO.

Teamed up with wazza9 and nana nel for this cache. Another beautiful day in Bundaberg. Thanks

TFTC,
Out for a day caching with Liz & Bruce, always a great time, undertaking a series selected by Bruce.
A simple start to the day.

Bundaberg Day2
Our caching partners for today was the Snakepitters, headed south towards Coonarr Beach.
Travelling along roads we have never been to before. A good variety of hides & caches found.
Thanks for placing this cache youngoldfella

Day 2 in Bundy and out again with DiMorgasn but in our car. Bad choice today, plenty of soft muddy roads to traverse, but the Hilux managed with ease, not so sure the Pajero would of got through. note to self - don't wash the car before goecaching in bundy).

Found it at 12.00pm on 8 7 2020
Tftc was worried when read the previous logs but I found it easy find number732. Yoohoo

I checked the co ordinates and I have no problem with them. May be 3 meters out for some.

With the start of the school holidays and the only weekend I going have free. I decided to head away geocaching with my son. Had some caches on my radar on my for D/T and hidden month. And Bargara had 2 caches for my D/T. Woodgate had a cache for my hidden months challenge.
All good here.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC *570* streak. *3504* Finds

TFTC. Coords are 8/9m out.

Found without phone. Thanks for whoever left the cool tool. TFTC

Cache was not at co-ords!! Did find eventually

Tftc. Cords not accurate. About 8m out. Difficult find but it was at 9pm at night haha. Had fun with my friend with kayteepotatie

Making tracks south today to overnight at Tewantin.

A nice cluster to pick up on our way south.

Nice quick find.

Thanks for this cache. I now qualify for another challenge.

We are leaving Bundy after a few days with YOF.

Another YOF cache we just can't go by. Strange one here, the log book is called "Watch for Trains". Well, we could if we had the time.

Log signed and replaced on March 7, 2020 at 9:52 AM. TFTC, youngoldfella.

Despite the poor weather forecast for the weekend, Crookedpete, JezNDez and I set off on an impromptu road trip from Brisbane to Bundaberg chasing a large patch of potential FTFs which appeared to still be on offer. After encountering rain on the drive up, we lucked in with the rest of the day remaining precipitation free. In the end, a great day to be out caching.

Another blank log book here, confirming the **FTF** and from here on in the usual stress of chasing FTFs was off, as it appeared we were the only ones in town chasing these caches. With Dez piloting Victor Del Prado, I could sit back and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing day out caching. TFTC

{*FTF*} @ 09.45 on 8.2.20 with SeffnJarah and DeznJez.

Some heavy rain forecasts scuttled the planned Bromance camping weekend in North NSW. The forecast around Bundy looked reasonable, and there were 70 FTF's with some generous DT up for grabs. Swellerfungus opted to continue the repairs arsing from his 10 cent bathroom washer replacement (current cost is into the $1,000's), leaving the Bromance Lite* heading north early this morning.

Flush with our success at the first cache nearby, we studied the map for the most efficient route and then headed to this close one. Again a nice clean logbook! A little damp under foot. Logs were signed with the team's Bromance stamp. Many thanks youngoldfella
