TFTC. Logged as KTD.

We are taking advantage of the long weekend and quiet roads to do some caching around Biggenden area I had KabbellaQld and Danielle46 with me ,we signed as KTD .We enjoyed the country run of caches Tftc

We are exploring this area over the long weekend. Fast find here. Signed KTD (KabbellaQld, ToucanKB and Danielle46). Nice mountain views around the district. Enjoyed our tour. Tftc

Today we targeted this area to find caches for our souvenir. What a great area to visit, rolling countryside and open spaces. Being no fences along the road the cows were out in force enjoying the green grass.We met up with a farmer and he was burning off the paddocks in the area to encourage the new green grass to grow, lots of smoke in the area.A quick find here cordinated were spot on.Cache and contents in good condition.Many thanks for your cache placement here.

After a long weekend in Biggenden, I am now heading south and home. Today I have 19 caches targeted and I found them all. So much for washing the car 2 days ago. A quick find for me today. Thanks for caches.

Our tour took us to Mount Walsh National Park.We had beautiful weather - and a wonderful time. Thank you for the great cachesTeam sissifalke

Got this one, too. TFTC

Last find of the day for me TFTC I'd love to have detoured to the right here,but camp lay the other way I'll have to find the rest next year

Despite a long day (and over 125 finds) yesterday, it was another early start this morning for Seffnjarah and I. We have completed a loop to the north this morning through Hervey Bay, returned through Maryborough for some lunch, then cleaned up the remainder of the JBF series before heading west towards Mt Walsh.

It has been stinking hot today so a swim at Utopia was high on the agenda. After cooling off there, the evening plan was to drive some remote back roads collecting selected caches, including this one focusing mostly on unloved caches.

Still lots of light left. A nice easy find. Signed with the Bromance team stamp in the first available position. Many thanks youngoldfella

When other family arrangement for the Easter break fell through, I was lucky to score a ride with Crookedpete for an extended weekend geocaching road trip from Brisbane to around Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Mt Walsh and surrounding areas.

After a stop in Hervey Bay this morning to collect some caches there, we returned to Maryborough to finish the last stretch of power trail caches that we didn't get done before the sun went down last night (bit hard to see tree fishing caches at night!). With that mission completed we were now heading towards Mt Walsh where we were planning to spend the night close by, before heading off for a walk to the summit tomorrow morning.

We still had sufficient daylight left so decided on a trip to the Utopia Rock Pools for Crookedpete to have a swim and cool off. Even then the late afternoon was bright enough to head out and find some more roadside caches including this one.

Cache found and the logbook was stamped with The Bromance team stamp (a slight liberty, with only 2 of the usual 4 members present on this trip, but we are hoping to avoid RSI with the number of caches planned on our itinerary ).

On holidays at Hervey Bay and arranged to meet YOF down this way to tackle a few. TFTC

Will be driving past this one on15 December 2022 and will replace.

We Have been in the Kilkivan area for a few days and our mission is to find as many of the caches that have popped up here over the years, we thank all the cache owners for placing these. All caches that we have found have been in good condition. SL TFTC

We think we know where it should have been, but no container. Perhaps taken away by floodwater?

After an overnight stop in Gayndah, Tour de Ville (TMZ59, Imbunda, Peppa and I) are in the home stretch after our epic roadtrip to Townsville MEGA and back.

Stopped to have a look for this one but with 4 sets of eyes, couldn't locate. There looks like water has been through this area, so may be gone.

Couldn't see it, looks like flooding been here

Took a bit longer to find this one. GPS was out a bit (maybe cos we d/L offline). Cows making plenty of noise in the nearby corral. TFTC

Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that i can claim the finds or not as the case may be. TFTC.

01/01/2022 Attended the event hosted by Sweet-Sour today and was good to meet up with fellow cachers. After the event headed out to cleanup some caches around north Kilkivan. Signed the logsheet and returned cache to its hiding hole. Thanks for making this cache for my enjoyment. TFTC SL

Found Ok

Today's long drive back to work I decided to take the inland way which means a big detour but many caches on the way, less roadworks and trucks.

The cache could be located easily and is in good condition.

Thanks.,

Georode

Out for a country drive towards Biggenden and then back to Kilkivan along Booubyjan Rd. Great location and it was very quiet as I ambled along finding the caches. Good coords always help and nice size containers too.

No problems finding the caches and once the logs were signed all were returned as found.

I was approaching GZ and noticed a 2mtrs red belly black snake coming across the road and headed for the same spot. I stopped and moved back and thankfully it stopped and went back the other way! I still tip toed aroudn GZ and found the cache.

If a cache needed attention that was done too.

Thanks to the CO's for placing a great series in this area.

TFTC youngoldfella

Yep ta

We are now camped at the Kilkiven Rest area. A big weekend in town with the annual horse ride event on. A street parade of all sorts of horses & riders was part of our couple of days here.
We spent many klms driving the country roads, the farmers have to be happy with the acres of green grass in the paddocks.
We found a good variety of caches in a variety of locations.
Thankyou youngoldfella for placing this cache.

Out for another drive around these lovely country roads picking up some caches. Beautiful day here. Cache found, log signed and returned as found. Thanks youngoldfella for placing these caches.

This will be my last day for this visit to the Kikivan area.Found a goodnumber of geocaches today and this was a quick find along a country road. TFTC.

Still a lot mor to find.

Taking an alternative route back to Toowoomba late in the afternoon grabbing a few caches along the way. TFTC

Gotcha !!! Quick trip to the Sunny Coast to organise some spare parts. Always time to find a geocache on the way. TFTC

Hi there youngoldfella.

We found your cache **"Brooweena Country Hide #6"** today. (This makes our find count 25666).

Today's plan was to head north up along Booubyjan Road and then continue back on to Brooweena - Woolooga Road. Also today we cursed the Garmin Drive Smart, because it has a habit of not showing caches on its map. So we probably missed a couple today and picked up a few we blindly drove past the other day.[:(!]

It was a really nice drive today, made even better by not having to wade through long grass to find the caches. Our tally today was 34 caches & 0 DNF's.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Either a smiley badge or a gold coin

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Staying at Goomeri for a few days to catch up on all the caches that have been released in the area since we were last here. Signed log and returned as found, cache all nice and dry. TFTC youngoldfella

Travell ing North towards Kilkivan and the surrounding districts to try my hand at finding some Caches thar were hidden for the New Year's event and some I've missed on previous trips. Great countryside and great country roads around there thanks for bringing me here again

Thanks for a great cache youngoldfella

Joint *FTF*

Day 2 of the New Year event at Kilkivan. Having a wonderful time meeting new cachers as well as catching up with some old faces.
After gathering heaps of caches this morning, it was time to pack up at camp as I needed to head towards home.
TripleTurmoil and CHAMAD decided to join me on the journey up north to find some more new and older caches. We had a super fun afternoon racing around finding these caches, and very much appreciate the CO efforts with these.
This was a quick find, log signed, cache replaced as found.
Thanks YOF for the cache.

After a tumultuous morning of caching it was decided to go out with just three of us this time and cache some of the new caches and grab some older ones as we passed. So now it was just Willis007, 4hawkers and myself. I really thought we could not have any more laughs but the day just continued and I had a stitch from laughing so much.

The caches on this trip were varied, a variety of sizes and hides but all were in good condition. The countryside around here is amazing and just beautiful, thank you for bringing us around here.

Thank you to all the CO’s for placing caches around this area, I really enjoyed the drive around here and finding your caches. Sorry for the generic log but we found approximately 70 caches this afternoon.

This was a nice set of caches down this road.

Dianne (doscrapbooking), my daughter and I decided to cache together today, starting off on Tansey Rd, then north to Booubyjan, northeast to Teebar and finally south back to Kilkivan.
Unfortunately we didn't find any first to finds, they had all gone by the time we arrived at all cachers.
All finds were in good condition and were replaced as found.

Out with Semik and Oddiewan beautiful day for caching. We are enjoying finding this cache and checking out the country scenery. Thanks

Out on a mission with Willis007 and Chamad. I thought the morning adventures were fun, but this trip really added to it. So many laughs. So many issues (rarely with the caches - they were the easy parts!). A huge afternoon that turned into and even bigger night. *FTF*

Found it with TBU1BIKESU.

Caching with my main squeeze, Oddiewan and our new little geopup. We have Liz and Bruce in the geomobile with us today. Oddiewan has his eyes on a new milestone so it’s a long day of caching ahead. A really neat spot caching has brought us to.

Thanks for the fun, youngoldfella

Sweet-Sour and I are going for a Geocaching day together

Found 1 January 2021

Attending the newbies event over the New Year weekend. Great to tour the country and pickup caches and meet up with geocaching friends.

TFTC youngoldfella.

In the Kilkivan area for a couple of days caching around. Today I have hatzofff, Snickersallan and E_Smiley in the geovehicle.

This was one of the new ones placed for the Events

Log signed and cache replaced as found on 01/01/2021. TFTC, youngoldfella.

So this trip was my third trip to Kilkivan for the new year newbie event.
I always have lots of fun at these events. And long night of chatting to do.

So for the generic post. Because I always find to many caches
Thank you Youngoldfella and Sweet-sour for running these events
Youngoldfella TFTC ***FTF***

Not able to camp for the Kilkivan event this year so I made the most of a long daytrip instead. When the new caches were release I headed up the bumpy Brooweena Rd, then to Boubyjan Rd, having planned to find all the caches along this route anyway.

It was a real bonus to find a bunch of blank logs along the way, including this one. All the hides are quality containers in logical spots. Thanks sweet sour and youngoldfella for making this possible.
