Good close parking for the van and a nice straightforward find.We stayed at the Finch Hatten Show grounds last night. A busy campground not realising they had a country music festival going on in the hall there. All good as room to set up and entertainment as a bonus. A pretty location in the hills and that iconic NQ scenery. A late start to the morning with some puzzle solving and collection of them before we left. Pinnacle was a great stop advertising Australia's best pies, well... is it really? Only one way to find out, and yes, they are a treat to try!Fueled up and ready to cache it was into Mackay for a black sand earthcache and coastal scenery. A strange yet fascinating sight but good to understand this black sand more.Caching along the way of different types as we passed, pulling into a busy rest stop half way between Mackay and Rockhampton after dark. Thanks for your cache to enjoy on our travels!
Finished another long trip around Australia. The 6th. Next up to Townsville to grab the Palm Island LGA. Only 2 LGAs to complete Australia.Firstly heading back south for some Canberra time.TFTC. Camped at the showground of Finch Hatton for the night. There happen to be a country music festival on right there. Bands played late into the night.A slow start in the morning getting some Jigidies done. Then it was back into Mackay to finish the last Earth Cache. Now heading south to Rockhampton to find lots of ECs, Virtuals and Ad Labs... and of course any other type that looks interesting, or not.Nice quick find.
Tftc, was looking for a rest stop. Wasnt quite what we needed put could not go without doing it. Will need a new sheet but didnt have any supplies with me.
Camped here for the past couple of days.Grabbed it on the way out.Log is soaked. Etched our names with kiwisteve2. Tftc
After QOGM 2023 in Longreach, TBU went on a round trip via Mount Isa, Burketown, Karumba, Ravenshoe, Atherton Tablelands down to Innisfail to Townsville. Now we are heading towards South back home, still refreshing our memories and collecting smileys. It was a nice variety of hides and we bumped into couple of cachers on the way. Thanks for this cache, 2oldtwoyoung
After having spent couple of weeks up North in Queensland, we are now heading back home - but still looking for smileys!We found this cache and signed the log.Tftc

Nearby muggles nearly thwarted my attempt but not this time.

Needed a single cache to complete this month's Reach the Peak. This one was close by and was easily found and retrieved. Didn't look promising with all the flood debris but the cache and log were dry. TFTC

so stopped in here for a quick look
no dramas here
though there was a lot of campers leaving the grounds

Quick cache whilst camping at the scout grounds. Quick find for the kids that were with us.
Another straight forward find in a logical spot.
Our fourth big day in a row out and about in Mackay with Temingi. We’ve had a great time driving all over the area looking for caches, and have had a pretty good find rate. Today is a bit of a contrast with an overcast sky and some drizzle in the air, quite different from the clear, sunny skies we’ve had up until now. Makes for very comfortable caching though, which is good.
Thanks again to all of the local CO’s. You make this fantastic pastime possible, and open up your local area to us blow ins from the south. Your efforts are very appreciated.
