Out and about today to find a few geocaches to top up todays date on my 'My Finds' colander. I am approaching 20 loops, counting adventure labs, but also there are a few dates I really need to top up to complete 19 loops without adventure labs and today is one of those dates. Found after a short search. Onto the next one up the road.Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for this one the log was damp but able to be signed. Stood the holder up when returning it to the hide.

As a teacher, I was keen toSee the site. Disappointed there was no signs or plaques to indicate its existence (that I saw). Thanks for the information and the cache!

We had planned to stay at Bell but the caravanpark is booked out so we now camping at Kaimkillenbun, as the locals call it The BunSo many school sites to visit we will have to make a map out a tour of the area.We went to mnany interesting location & found some very good caches. Thanks Speedmistress for hiding this cache.

Damp log but not too bad. Tftc

Found with MDU and Limpet. After surveying the location we decided to approach from the fence side, and after that the cache was in hand fairly quickly. Log was wet, but we signed and replaced ok where found. TFTC

Found with two docs after a bit of a scamble. Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC

TFTF. Found with Limpet and Twosoxs

Easy find watch out for the cacti when looking for it for there are many

Mind the prickly pear in amongst the grass

Nice spot! Easy find, pretty sure the log was wet in this one. Loving the views out here.

Tftc Speedmistress, our last one for the day.
All good here

On our way to Bell for a few days of caching, interesting area where all the different schools where. Unfortunately the log was absolutely saturated. TFTC Speedmistress

Found it

Found at 0905hrs. On a trip to get some more smiley faces. Quick find. The log book is soaking wet. It was not in the plastic bag. Needs replacing or drying out.

On the home run now, getting late. Last cache of the day - #20.
More grass, more prickles - cache soon found and we too opened the wrong way first. Log was soaking wet and not able to dry in the wet plastic bag, so replaced not back in bag in the hope that some dry weather will dry it out. (no hope of drying inside a plastic bag...) Made some sort of mark on the log as best we could.

I bet everybody opens this the wrong way at first. Me too! After the false start I was soon signing the log book, which I must report is soaking wet. All replaced as found. TFTC Speedmistress.

Tricky container when you try to open it the wrong way. TFTC

Obviously I was so busy after we returned from Cunnamulla that I forgot to log the finds in this area.

Tftc Speedmistress

Another nice quick find here. MyGravel is doing an exceptional chauffeur service today!
Loving the variety of caches out this way.

Nice thermos TFTC

TFTC another nice find

Quick find and with nothing to exchange we signed the log and kept going. TFTC!

After finding a few more caches in Bell early this morning it was time to head to Bunya Mtns and a few detours along our way with E_Smiley.
Oh so many schools!, never seen so many as I've come across in these districts, nice to see good record keeping of the local history.

Found by Team DES (Domsky, E_Smiley, Snickersallan) on our way home (via Bell/Bunya Mountains) from attending the very enjoyable QOGM (Queensland Outback Geo-Muster) 2021 Paroo. Can't wait for QOGM2022 Murweh!

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Speedmistress. Pleased to see another school.

We were travelling 3.5 weeks in Queensland's beautiful Outback - between Barcaldine and Cunnamulla. We attended the QOGM event 2021 and are now heading home.

On the way home we are doing little detours for sightseeing and caching. Exactly the reason what brought us here!

Another old school site..sure must have been a lot of families around here. Thanks SM

As part of our Dalby road trip we headed out to Bell and its surrounds for the day. The weather was great for caching and the rural roads were fairly quiet. Many thanks to both Speedmistress and Strongbow77 for placing and maintaining the caches for our enjoyment.

Out and about caching today around Bell and district. Weather today was fine and cool. Travelling around the country roads collecting the many varied caches in their locations. Found cache and signed log. TFTC Speedmistress

Monday. Spotted the container in it’s hidey hole and we signed the log to claim another smiley for the day. Good use of this sort of container for a cache container

This was the 43rd of 49 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***Speedmistress*** for showing us this place

Out on a massive day trip with Slow Puncture, leaving Brissie in the wee hours and heading up the range to Toowoomba, across the plains and out to Bell, returning via Yarraman. We're picking up our list of solved puzzles and any other interesting caches we pass by.


Find #11271 @ 15:01

TFTC Speedmistress! We are slowly working our way through your caches This was a fun stop after a trip to the Bunya’s. We’re on our way back to Brisbane tomorrow, so we won’t be able to come to the launch event.

As I rolled to a stop noting where the sign marked the site of the school I let out an audible groan at the 'field' of cobbler's pegs that lay before me. I was much relieved when I noted the direction of GZ. A quick wander and happy to find the cache area devoid of those nasties! TFTC Speedmistress.

What to do on a cool but sunny Thursday morning? [?]
We pondered this & other mind-blowing questions over coffee & Mr VC offered a suggestion.
"There are about 9 FTFs out west a little that we might have a chance at securing ... plus several other caches as well." I said to Mrs VC, huddled snugly in a blanket.
"Where?" responded Mrs VC. [?]
"Oh, out near a quaint little place called Bell." I said before going all in with "About 3 hours away."
…
After the nuclear fallout had cleared we made up & bundled Winter the Geo-Cat into the Geo-Beast then hit the bitumen with a mission in mind.
9 FTFs ... I wonder if we can get at least 1? [?]
This was find #16 & FTF #8 today so far.

A nice quick park and grab find, out of the way of prying muggle eyes.
Not that we have actually seen too many muggles today which has been a pleasant surprise.
Our trip has certainly paid dividends with all these blank logs today!
I guess being a weekday workday may have kept the more 'local' chasers at bay? [?]
Despoiling yet another log we made our mark & replaced as found.

Found @ 2.32 pm
