Jilalan Lookout Jilalan, Queensland, Australia
By alphag_25 on 13-Aug-20. Waypoint GC8Z7VK

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 alphag_25 for the generation of this nice cache Jilalan Lookout (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.

Tackling these with Team JLBL. A fun, day with DiMorgan hot on our heels. Thanks for the effort in placing these!

We struggle sometimes with finding hides on machinery. We looked for a long time.

Not today

Kids and wife had fun looking for this one. Wife ended up spotting this little cache. Great little find. Kids loved the train yard too. TFTC

been here a couple of times before but had to depart ,not a real swift find but good enough to get a grinning face on the log and me, signed log at 10.10am and park was quiet today, TFTC

Took a while but very good hide

Easier than it soinds

Out today to find a cache that would fill a gap on my Finds by Hidden Month Grid. Having DNF on the one that woujld have, and feeling pretty frustrated, I now went about to avenge the DNF.

I hate micro on machinery so surprised just how easy that was to find, but looking at the spoiler photo now (later) I feel it was not perhaps where it was supposed to be.

Thanks alphag 25 for today's fun. For that I give you one of my favourite points.

On my way home thoughtbinwill fill my day and do a cache. Quick find. TFTC

Found while staying nearby. Thanks for this.

I've been searching this for years! Finally haha

Found it !!!

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 108. Mackay to Clairview via Sarina. I am heading south slowly and spent the long morning caching along the Bruce Highway and in Sarina. Apart from a few failed tree caches, I had a great day with some interesting locations visited. It is all the more entertaining doing it with a van, and sometimes this means longer walks or skipped caches.

Most of the days caches were quick rad side stops. thankfully I was able to see this one. With the signs on the back of the car, it reminds me of a display I saw further west once.

Thanks for the cache alphag_25

Mackay to Sarina
Having an overnight stay to find some of the caches in the Sarina & Hay Point area.
This was a good way to tour the are and we found a good variety of caches some in places we had not visited before.
This was the 3rd cache that we have found on coal haulers in the last week.
There is a good view of the railyards from the lookout.
FP given
Thankyou alphag_25 for placing this cache.

Yay!! This one took awhile to find. Got it finally with help from photo hints .
Great spot. Great view of the railyard.

Tftc.
And photo hints helped us! We needed a boost to out geocache confidence after a series of dnf's.

This is the third one I've found on this carriage. Thanks for the hint

Found it with pippahicup

On the second leg of a GC trip with Drennostar on our way to a wedding. On our way to Sarina via the back roads.
Thought we'd have to search the whole thing top to bottom, but thanks to the photo hint Drennostar had it in hand in a matter of minutes.
Great lookout here, but they need to trim some trees as you can barely see the view at the moment. Thanks for bringing us here!

Missed this one on the first attempt as we headed out this road, but managed to get it straight away on the way back. Obviously didn’t look there the first time!

Day 1 in Koumala, so we decided to mix some sightseeing with caching to see where it took us. First we headed to Sabrina, where we got to see the huge railway yards, we guess is the base for the coal trains we have seen going backwards and forwards. Then it was a short trip around town including the big cane toad and then off out to the coast. There was some magnificent scenery and a chance to see how big the tides can be. They were out for most of our touring. A few great lookouts and then return to our caravan. An enjoyable and satisfying day.
Thank you to all the local COs for the tour and developing and maintaining the caches.

Found it!. TFTC

Before leaving the area, a little caching tour.

Thanks for the photo hint.

Thanks to the photo hint, we found this time the cache.

We had planned to leave today Alligator Creek, but on our way to Sarina for topping up fuel and getting some maps in the Visitor Info Center, we saw still some green dots.

Maintenance Check ok

Took us a while. Thanks to photo hints. They helped narrowing down our search thanks for the great hide

We had a pretty long day today caching with Rainforest Cookie and Tmac. We started on the Letterbox trail and then branched out in quite a few directions on a caching/sightseeing tour of the area.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache pretty close to 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

Logged with the aid of the visual clues. How did they get in there Thanks alphag_25, for placing this cache for me to search for
Find # 2531

I believe I have found 3 other caches on this carriage first one while it was at the other location, found with a spoiler hint
TFTC

Thanks for photo hint.

Spent some time looking here, didn't realise that there was a spoiler pic until later, I'll be back another day.

Inevitably on a long trip when many geocaches are being found, some get missed. Unfortunately, at the time, this was one of them. So, although out of chronological order, I am logging them today for simplicity. So my apologies for the generic log and the out of date sequence.

Our trip commenced on Friday November 28th and concluded on Tuesday December 22nd. During that time, we visited caches in Maryborough, Childers, Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Sarina, Mackay, Bowen, Townsville and Cairns, with other places in between like Proserpine, Home Hill, Ayr, Ingham to name just a few, with many wonderful single stop caches along the way.

Our party consisted of myself, hatzofff, grannysmith1947, and on occasion, youngoldfella.

Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC, alphag_25.

TFTC smile 7883 out and about with Hatzoff RoddyC Snickersallan youngoldfella and miss Millie geo dog having a great time day 5 to Mackay via Hay point quite day today did not start untill after 9.00am was finished by 2.30pm a good day was had by all




Thank you, alphag_25, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Day five of my adventure from the Gold Coast to Townsville with geo friends RoddyC, hatzofff, youngoldfella & grannysmith1947. Enjoying caching our way around whilst admiring points of interest & landmarks.
Nice view of the train network, we found the cache by checking recent pics after an unsuccessful search. Neat hide, thanks CO.

Today is day 5 of our northern adventures with RoddyC, Snickersallan, GrannySmith 1947 & hatzofff. We are caching in and around Sarina then travelling to Mackay caching on the way. Apologies for simple logs as I have a lot to do. Thanks to the spoiler photo this one was not hard to locate. A favourite point from me. TFTC calphag_25

Tftc alphag_25, photo in maintenance log made this an easy one.

I'll have to come again when I've more time to spare.

Finally found!

24/9/20 Checked on cache. Still all good. Added photo to assist.

Too tricky for us, spent 20 minutes going around it but no luck

Yuck. Work. I drive these things down Gladstone. I also hate Micros on machinery. Wanting to go do the powertrail , we gave it 10 minutes.

Cheers

Thanks again Alphag_25. That is the tiniest pencil I have seen. Thank you for placing these amazing caches. Great locations. FTF LS.
