This is my 3135 find.Quick grab while out walking.youngoldfella, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF
A planned weekend away to Bundaberg and a visit to Gladstone to check on the property to see how far it has advanced. It all started with the usual friday afternoon traffic crawl. I had left my run a little tooo late and it was not until Gympie before it seemed to flow a little better, so many people going away. Today I got to join a few other cachers to walk around the Barolin Nature and Pastoral Reserve. There were some very good caches and a few that had us searching for longer than we liked. We even walked to a few of the outer lying caches and drove to a few others. This was a great walking area and just a simple set of trails to follow. I enjoyed our walk around today, thank you. We signed the logs as "Bugaras" to save time and space, sorry for the generic log.After our walk it was time for a little refreshment and a snack so a local cafe was in order. While I was there I managed to go for a walk and grab the local caches with Princess. It was a great walk and we signed the logs and replaced the caches as found.
Love getting asked if we were geocaching by a muggle.Signed as The RoosHere in Bundaberg with kiwisteve2 drobbonz and kimmy533. Randomly heading north.Go north they said. It'll be warm they said!Tftc

Found with KabbellaQld on 3/1/24. Adding now that I have a premium subscription.
Walking up to GZ I pointed out the skirts to my husband, when I spied a little container I recognise sitting on top of the skirt! A closer inspection confirmed it was indeed the cache but we were still 30m from the coords. Signed and replaced at the provided coordinates. Good thing too as we were off to parkrun and it would about to be busy here in 20 mins and this is near the turn around.
Thanks to the specific hint it was a very quick find, not too busy either which helped. TFTC!
This was a quick find as we wandered along the waterfront collecting waypoints for an adventure lab. I spent some time "tying my laces" until there was a break in the traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, and then it was easy enough to locate and extract the container. Signed and replaced before the traffic increased again.Thanks for find #5101TNLN

Up for a weekend meeting in Bundaberg... and staying in Bargara. While wandering around with friends before dinner, the topic of Geocaches came up and I decided the best way to explain them is to find one. Fortunately this was a nice easy find... otherwise I might have been rather red-faced.
Thanks **youngoldfella** for putting this cache here.

AustraliaA country that has fascinated me for a long time. But the distance to get there was just as great as the desire to drive there. So it was dreamed but not implemented.But then our friend nalfion moved again. And this time to Down Under. That gave the go-ahead to plan a little more firmly for the first ideas and fantasies. The bosses were asked about a longer vacation and then we went to the travel agency with our rough ideas.For such a complex thing we wanted to have support. And after a few appointments there, the basic structure was in place.During our summer holidays we went to Sydney via Singapore, where we spent 2 days. 2 days in Sydney city and then we went with a small camper van with the whole family via Katoomba to Cairns. Our friend lives in Adelaide so ended up staying there for a few more days at the hotel before heading back to Germany without any lengthy stops via Melbourne and Singapore.A wonderful holiday that at least brought us a little closer to this huge country and gave us many great memories.Our friend stayed with us for a few days in the middle of our trip. But tomorrow morning he had to get back home by train/plane starting in Bundaberg.So we had a nice and relaxing day at the beach in Bargara (and did some caching) and went to the Bundaberg Barrels afterwards for a a "drink", and than a little stroll through Bundabarg.Thanks for the cache.
Friends of mine from Germany were visiting me in Australia. While travelling through Australia, we found this cache.
Sadly - this was my second visit.
Muggles everywhere so we had to take care….

Saw DNF and I was going that way this morning sos took a replacement with me. North side of pole magnetic close to ground out of sight. Please replace where found. I could not see the last replacement or feel it so had to assume that it was gone.
Thank you very much, youngoldfella for replacing the cache so quickly. Much appreciated. Tftc!
Omg finally reached our 20th find so excited.
FTF well hidden.
Thankyou.
Broke 2 records today.

I have replaced the container and the log sheet. This container is a new style from geostuff.com and is there micro RHINO magnetic cler plastic container. It is a screw top container.. LOG ONLY.
Looks like this one needs some TLC. As the log is still useble I will wait till the end of january
( end of school holidays) to make any necessary changes re container and or log. If anything changes in the mean time I will come down really early one morning and make the changes. Walkers and bicycles on this track from jst before dawn so still busy at dawn.

The clue is all you need Lots of muggles around but we managed to find a break in the pedestrian traffic to quickly uncover the cache, log it and place it back. Log a bit damp, but just writeable. TFTC
So many possibilities, but only one right answer. It looks a bit yuck, but cache is dry.

Great find thanks for the cache! It was tricky how this was hidden, very smart!
Our final day at Bundaberg and the plan was to grab some caches and Adventure Labs on the Northside than make our way out towards Bargara to grab a few more caches and to do a bit of sight seeing before heading home.
We were fairly confident where it would be hidden when we walked towards GZ and instantly found it when we checked it out. A lot of muggles around so hopefully we went unseen.
Thanks for bringing us here.

We had a great drive around this area today finding some of the caches and this is one we found. All good under the skirt here, log signed and replaced as found. Thanks youngoldfella for this one.
Enjoying a quiet time at Bagara and grabbed some caches. Log needs replacement, didn't have one on hand to do it. troobloo
Found while enjoying the area, bit of an exposed spot. Log is wet and torn
Thanks for the fun

Beautiful shoreline, great esplanade path. On our trip from down south, great to have a tee shirt on and wind blowing through the hair. Another nice hide youngoldfella, wearing shorts not a skirt, but am I a lady? Thank you for the cache!
Sneaky hide, loved the hint.
Managed to grab between muggles.
Once log was signed everything was replaced as found.
