Pulled in to collect these after a great morning out riding in the area

What a cute little cache. TFTC!

Very cute! Thanks for your creativity and effort.

Cache number 10 along this mornings meander. The cache is getting a bit rusty and hard to screw back together. TFTC, found with mugglemum.

Cute cache and a Favourite Point for the container. Shazzar66 and I spent a day caching from Warner, clockwise around Lake Samsonvale, trying to find as many caches as possible. I had solved lots of horses, and a few I <3 Geo caches, and others were Trads or Letterboxes that we either drove past, or targeted to qualify for a Challenge Cache.It was a tiring, but successful, day. Im still not sure how many caches we found in the ten hours that we cached for, although Im sure we drove past quite a few that I hadnt yet solved. Thanks again, CacheQLD, for another great cache..

I headed out in the geo-car with Nelly for a few caches today.Decided to hit a few around Samsonvale.I found your cache, Echidna today. This is my 2384 find.Quick find.CacheQLD, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

This one definitely made me jump! Very cool cache.Very appropriate and a fav point from us.TFTC!

Very very cute cache , love it

Cute! TFTC

Good find!

Nice quick find, good little trip to increase our letterbox tally! Love the container! ️

On a whirlwind trip over from WA to pick up our caravan and head back to WA, nice to be able to grab a few easy caches along the way.

Thank you CacheQLD for placing and maintaining Echidna for us and others to find and enjoy.

After collecting some cool caches around Dayboro with Kolour this morning, we decided to hit the mail trail and collect some letter box caches. We also stopped to find this little cutie!
After signing the log, the cache was replaced as found.
Thanks CacheQLD for the cache, an FP for this one.

After the Ironbark CITO, Willis007 and I headed to Dayboro. Willis007 had a few target caches whereas they were all target caches for me as I’d never found any in this area, so I was very happy to come along. I signed 28 so a good haul.
Heading back towards where the CITO was, we decided to come along this road as there were plenty of caches both of us had not found.
My phone gps still had me 15m away from gz but then I looked down and saw the very cute container. Fp. Probably my phone was playing up. Tftc

Cute cache! Log signed, TFTC

I am in the area for the next three days finding caches and camping out.
My main goal is the complete this geo-art.
I have had the final coords for quite some time and discovered along the way that a couple of caches have had a change of final coords which is ok because I know that can happen.
Otherwise, I had a good couple of days slowly driving around the back roads finding caches.
I also found a few non geo-art caches as I travelled past them along the way.
Thanks for the drive, adventure, and caches.

It's mothers day so what did I ask for? A morning of geocaching. Very cute.

CacheQLD I found your cache Echidna on 1/4/2023, 12:45 pm. This is my find 4910 and find # 15 today. A quick and easy drive by. Very clever and cute. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Second day in Dayboro .

Out on a solo run, enjoying the nature and the beauty of Dayboro.
Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache.

Cute one. A favourite point from me.

Swearah and I are on the letterbox trail but this one has so many faves, it was worth stopping by. It’s not hard to see why so many fave points have been awarded, what a great container!! Another one coming your way! We added and bit more paper as the log was full. Thanks for a super cache!

Out with krcamber snavelling a few last caches on our weekend away, we are glad we stopped in here. So cute!!

Today we decided to tackle the Postman's Track, needing to collect a few Letterboxes for a challenge . As this one was on the way, would stopped and found a very cute cache. A fav point from us. TNLNSL TFTC

Staying in Dayboro for a while. Theres definitely no being bored. Weve been tucked inside solving as many puzzles as possible and using lifelines to get help when we hit a brick wall. Today we headed out to convert a couple of smilies. Big day out 44/51. Lots of overgrowth after the recent rains all making for some challenging caching today.

What a cute cache. FP from us.

2256 - I was caching along this road to grab all of the Letterbox Hybrids and this cache on this cool and windy afternoon for the first day of winter. When I pulled up I saw the kangaroo letterbox across the road, and thought maybe the house owner was playing along with the Australian mammals theme here. I found the cache in great condition at 3:54pm. Thanks for placing this one here CacheQLD.

What a cutie!

OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa.

Staying in nearby Ocean View and we had a free day. Had a great time exploring the area, enjoying the views and picking up smilies.

PelDroedGwin’s fav native animal is the echidna so we just had to stop here ! Very cute

Tftc

OCW the Bebes. Camping in the area and thought we would pick up a few caches today. TFTC

Woke at 5am to the wife asking me to not toss and turn and keep her awake for another few hours while she caught up in some sleep

To good an opportunity to miss so I suggested I head out for an early morning cache. Had a run in this area on the radar all ready so it worked perfectly

Awesome morning to pick up a few caches in this beautiful part of the world.

It’s hard to fault the views around Dayboro…

A quick find of this unique container… tftc…

Cutest container ever! Loved it

Gotta love a cache that is so obviously running to the theme A fav point for this great hide.

A quick and easy find on this quirky cache.

Very cute cache.
We come here often during lychee season for the very close by lychee farm. Highly recommended stopping in if they are open!

Thanks for the cache another smiley for the win

TFTC! this one gave me a fright when i first spotted it haha

We've come out this wet and gloomy afternoon to collect a few more of the amazing amount of caches around Dayboro thanks to the recent Mega. The container here gave me a bit of a startle since I was concentrating on watching out for wriggle sticks. Very cute!

Thanks for find #2490

Time for us to take our caching up a gear, we've been a little slack of late.
A country run sounded like a plan so we set our sights just south of Dayboro & picked up a few other caches on our run northwest.

LOVE the outer!
A quick find under the watchful eye of Skippy, across the road.
Now THAT is a letterbox!
Made our mark & replaced as found.

The Echidna gets a Favourite point.

We saw one! TFTC

Hello you cute little cache!

Found with powerhunt! TFTC! A very cute find

Out for the day with Gunnie69 and GhostGums. We are making our way through all the geoart in the area since the Mega in April. Beautiful day today too. TFTC (apologies for generic log, I think the boys summed up all the finds for the day, and Im late logging these!

An eventful, but enjoyable morning out with NurseyJulie and Ghostgums as we pay another visit to the dark side to turn some icons into smileys. [^] No lockdown, spectacular weather, good company and stacks of unfound caches. What else do you need on a casual Saturday around Dayboro.

We mixed the day up with a few different cache types and sadly threw some DNFs in for good (or bad) measure. A very productive morning on the trails though and a little more of the geoart taking shape.

No trouble spotting this one when we arrived at GZ and our names were aded to the log. Thanks for all the effort and caches in this series CacheQLD, it's very much appreciated.

A smiley has been added to Echidna! *

Today caught up with Gunnie69 and NurseyJulie to finish up some caching around Dayboro that we couldn't manage during the Mega. Well we did have a lot of solved puzzles still to find! So the plan was to hit the local roads and capture oursleves a wild stallion or two, and then maybe show a little love along a side track. There is also traditional love and the odd letterbox!

Thanks CacheQLD for the Traditional cache, the hunt and the smiley today! [D*|

It's been some time since my last outing and my monthly total was looking, well.. Rather dreadful, so I decided to head out to fix that. The plan for the day was the head north west towards Dayboro and finish off the Horse GeoArt (Minus the challenge), the letterbox trail and a bunch of other caches I would pass while in the area.

Thanks for placing the cache here for me to enjoy. I had wonderful time exploring the area.

#2395 - TFTC

A lovely day for a drive.
After a couple of close encounters with echidna in Launceston last week, this was a very nice cache to start our day.

A change from a letterbox. Loce the container. A favourite point for it.

Super cute and a fav from us. TFTC

1Minniemoo and I looked at the map trying to decide where to go today and decided finishing the Horse geoart might be the way to go. All up we found 37 caches in a school day which is a new record for me. A couple of extra letterboxes for me amongst that number.
A good day out with one close snake encounter and lots of back roads and uturns!
Thanks for placing these caches for our enjoyment.

Quick find at GZ and a laugh from us all when we made the discovery. TFTC

TFTC

Wow! What a great container we found here. We love the effort gone into these caches and happily give this a favourite! Thanks CacheQLD a lovely drive along this road.

Haven't had a chance to cache for a while, so decided to head north of Brisi and find a few.
Also my geodog Scruffy wanted to do some caching as well

What a cut little spiny dude .. lol

All Good .. TFTC ..

Sharpem and I decided to pick up a few smileys . We enjoyed the drive around here and at gz we soon spotted this cache. Very cute guardian. Giving it a FP FOR all the fun

Heading to Brisbane today and decided to go via Dayboro to collect some caches along the way. I parked nearby and once at GZ soon had the cache in hand.

Log signed and all returned as found.

A day free of obligations today so we headed here to get some of the caches we missed at the Mega. Much better caching weather today. Have had a great day. Many thanks to CacheQld for organising the Mega, the peeps who designed the puzzles and those who placed the caches.
A favourite from us.

Out caching with my bestie and kids today, we stopped along the trail to spot an echidna. What a cool container. All signed and returned to its hidey hole so we didn't scare him Tftc!

Found with Stortigirls!! Love the hide TFTC

Naw love this little cache.

Only ever seen one real one, but I liked this one too! Thank you!

Found while out mailbox caching.
Very cute find!

Love all the caches along here. Dropping a FP for all! Thanks!

Wow! A very creative cache! Thanks for the hide!

We found this cache after attending the "CacheQLD - Dayboro" Event. We had an interesting day, and kept meeting up with DriftinDillons and DickBev on our travels. Somewhere on our travels we also reached another milestone for our stats page.

We replaced the log sheet.

Thank you for adding to our adventure.

Regards
Ian & Penny

Dropped into this little fellow on the way back. Cute like my wooden one at home. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks CacheQld. All good with this cache and a favourite for this one.

Tftc, quick find here saw an echidna, kangaroo across the road too

Out and about doing the letterbox series with BenM70 and burgo78 I was allowed to stop quickly and grab this one as the boys had found it a few days before - TFTC and a great event CacheQLD

An Easter long weekend means a roadtrip! Lockdown 3 ended in Melbourne last month so we had an opportunity to head north on a one-week journey to the Gold Coast. Clearly that one week was not a great estimate - we had to deal with NSW floods, Byron Bay lockdowns, and Queensland lockdowns. The rerouting meant Pacgirl had to fly home from Coolangatta and I kept heading north to the Dayboro Mega and then the Sunshine Coast. This became a caching trip where I targeted lab caches and earthcaches. After 6,500km and more than 3 weeks I finally got back home with approval from the Victorian government. Ultimately this trip didn't go as planned - it ended up being much, much better !

I finally arrived at a rainy Dayboro Mega on Sunday evening after dropping PacGirl off at the Coolangatta airport in the morning. Easter Monday (roadtrip day 9) and big caching day was planned for the day, initially aiming for 10 cache types in a day. Started off early in the morning before the camp woke up and after some trads in town it was back to the Mega HQ GZ to register officially and do the usual Mega things like excellent lab caches, pathtags and trackables. With a lot of rain over the whole long weekend things were very quiet at a muddy camp by this closing stage. I then headed out of town for the day.

While doing the letterbox caches along Postmans Track we stopped for this one too.
Cute container - actually looks right for this place!
Thanks, CacheQLD.

Found at 10:02:00 AM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob.
Very nice container which is even a bit spiky
Thanks CacheQLD
Feedback: Log book is full.

Found by Mary and David, in company with pprass, at 10:03. Found this one pretty quickly, and loved the camo, so it gets a FP. Our thanks to CacheQLD.

The rain slowed down and the decision was made to head out with Hans&Linda to find a few caches. While in lock down in Victoria we solved and solved and solve puzzles as they were published. All the caches we tried for today were found, some took a bit more finding than others. SL TFTC

#2330 - Commuting to the Qld Mega every day with gcraider. Having finished all the Lab Caches and attended a few interesting seminars it's now time to explore further afield.

We have solved all the "Horse" puzzle caches and will attempt to find a few in between showers if we can help it. On the way we pick up a few trads as well.

Apologies for the generic logs on these, but during a Mega there generally isn't enough time to write essays..... Finding caches and having fun is our main aim.

This one deserves a FP. Well done.

TFTC CacheQld

TFTC. We had spent the previous months in Victoria on lockdown. During this time we busily solved puzzles in preparing for the Dayboro Mega. After a frustrating morning stuck inside the motorhome the rain eased to a drizzle and the severe weather warnings were cancelled. Our good friends muff1 asked if we wanted to come out to cache. needless to say we jumped at the opportunity. A great afternoon finding caches and not getting to damp.

I found this cache as part of the Dayboro Mega Event. We found this cache while find the letterbox caches in this road. We watched out for echidnas and were lucky enough to spot one. Thank you for an enjoyable experience. The log book is full and needs replacement.

An easy to find cache, we pulled up to the side of the road and tried not to look too suspicious to a lady walking her dog. There was also a cool letter box nearby. Thanks for the cache!

Found this amazing little fellow eating some ants in the company of Pac-Man. All is good with this happy little fellow. Tftc
