Logs
Found the cache but its destroyed on the ground. Note is ruined. Area is also quite messy with cardboard and cigarettes everywhere. Would be a lovely spot otherwise though!
Log is almost completely full. Oh I am so tired that I can't write individual logs for today's cache finds. Please forgive the generic logs but be happy that your cache has contributed to my having all the Queensland LGAs except the Whitsundays and the Aboriginal areas. I cached by myself and cherry picked the caches along a route that would cover the two required LGAs. This part of Australia is just beautiful. TFTC TNLN SL either as Smittengranny or SG.
Found It!Found this one about 10-15m to the north of where the GPS takes you.TFTC
We both looked in the spot but didn't spot it, after a bit of searching and rechecking we finally found it. North of the navigation!
Took the motorhome for its monthly spin in the country today. We started by visiting a dragon fruit farm out near brown plains and then headed out for a country pub lunch. Id been through this region last year and had it marked as somewhere to come for a day trip. Cache was quickly located and log signed. Returned to its hidey hole and off to find the next cache.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.Cheers
It is Saturday morning, about 8 am, and I am out geocaching early. And the grass is, of course, still wet. My shoes are now soaked. Found after a short search this morning. Thanks for the cache.
After being led around to few likely spots by an errant GPS, I finally used geosense and located it. TFTS.
A beautiful Saturday morning with no plans ... awesome! Geodoggo in the car we headed to Ipswich and beyond to collect some caches for a new challenge.
A quick find here.
Thanks Richmond Lad for the cache.

If it’s the pvc pipe near the parking area then it’s empty -if not we didn’t find it
As per everyone else I had it read through previous logs to find it near the bench.

On an early Sunday trip to Boonah and Harrisville, I decided to find a cache or two since I was well ahead of time.
I pulled in here and went to look at the monument only to suddenly find a dead kangaroo in front of it. It was a bit of a shock to the system, but these things happen.
I used the Davidwazza coords and found them spot on.
The cache is well hidden and in good shape so TFTC.

Today we are returning from Kooralbyn and have taken the time to find a few caches, all were in good condition and well placed. SL TFTC
Last cache for the morning run with NurseyJulie and the coords had us nowhere near GZ. [?] After ruling out locations where the gadgets wanted us, NJ read back through the logs and identified an alternate hiding spot, where the container was subsequently located. [^]
Cheers Richmond Lad.
Cheers Richmond Lad.
We ventured to the first spot as per the GPS, but no cache to see. We spread out a little further as per previous logs and soon found it. TFTC

Quick little weekend away, exploring the country side, with the ultimate goal to complete some of the Map of Australia Geo-Art on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.
Nice easy find. People need to write on backs of pages. Logs almost full
All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.
Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **Richmond Lad**

I was about to give up and log a DNF when I found it sitting on the ground out in the open. Left it as per previous logs suggested. Thanks for the cache
Nothing on the coords then read a few logs. Cache an easy find closer to the picnic table.
Too cold for picnics at the mo Stopping at a bakery sooooooon!
TFTC RL Nice to have new hides out here

This weekend, with a scheduled Mount Alford wedding, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I used the occasion to base ourselves at Boonah for a long weekend exploring the Scenic Rim vicinity.
On Friday, we took a short stop in Ipswich before arriving in Boonah staying in an ex-church accommodation.
On Saturday, we explored Mount French, Boonah, Lake Wyaralong, and then returned via Kalbar completing the *Churches of the Scenic Rim !* Adventure Lab.
On Sunday, we took a hike up Mount Greville, and after checking out a few stops along Reynolds Creek, we returned to Boonah for showers, before driving back home.
Following our hike at Mount Greville followed by a Boonah refreshment and lunch, we then started to drive back to Brisbane, stopping at a few geocaches along the way, including this geocache. An interesting location and memorial, and in the end, we found the cache about 12 m away from where the posted coordinates wanted us, with our GPS indicating the cache at S 27° 52.902' E 152° 43.787', with it being closer to the picnic table. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Richmond Lad for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A bit mushy in places after 3 days of flooding but nature is quick to restore itself indeed.
Nice quick find once the compass settled on the right spot.
Quite a bit of broken glass in patches around the picnic table.
The ground was quite soggy here but that's to be expected at the moment.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

The two along here were slightly out of the way home, but it was morning tea time, so....
I gathered up the thermos and esky and headed over to the outdoor picnic table. The GPSr was counting down, and the cache was going to be near.
It did lead me away, but finding nothing I checked closer to the table and found it.
I signed the log while I enjoyed my coffee and muffin.

Don’t bother looking down. It’s about hip height. We had all given up but found by 8 yo Ivy.
Had to get out and about today. This was first of several in this series for the day. Quickly found, all is good with the cache. Cheers and TFTC.
First find for the day. Rdo’s are a great reason to get out and do some caching.
I decided last night to visit the lovely Scenic Rim chasing a couple of attributes for a challenge or two…
So with 14 targets, including a FTF, I set off at 7am this morning… at Browns Plains I realised I’d left my day pack at home… so back I went which meant I was about an hour behind… oh well…
My final cache of the day… LeDeVine is filthy so it must have been a good day…
Geepers had me circling a particular feature, but it failed to yield a cache… upon reading some logs I found George Montagues suggested decimals… I ended up being about 12m from where Geepers originally wanted me… and thanks to the recent rain, that 12m felt like 20 in the mushy swamp…
I’m still struggling with ruzzelz as a teenager…
tftc…

Having read some of the previous logs we knew not to spend too long searching at GZ. We widened our search area and Mrs Herbz soon made the find about 10 m away. All good here. TFTC
We were heading to the Dugandan Hotel for a gathering for dinner and picking up a few caches along the way.
The GPS was pointing me into a stop very close to where a couple of muggles were having a cuppa. I approached and explained what I was doing and they joined the search. Of course, I felt embarrassed because I didn't locate the cache close to the coordinates and it wasn't until I moved to another search area that I located the cache and showed the muggles what I had been searching for.

Mrs George wanted a drive in the country today and we settled on Boonah as a destination. I loaded a couple of new caches and came along for the ride. She doesn't remember ever stopping here after many times driving past, and nor did I until I looked in my old diary and found an entry 16/7/1974 which said radio reception here was generally poor.
My garmin took me to one obvious spot but nothing could be found there, so I widened the search area to include S .903' and E .791' where the cache was found. Added to the log and replaced. Reading through the logs (didn't take long) it sounds like Ruzzelz was a naughty lad at school, but won' admit it. We won't tell. TFTC, Richmond Lad.

Logging now that FTF has been claimed - was with CO when caches were placed in July.
Out for a drive in the country and wow it’s so dry out here!! This was our first stop and there was a couple of older guys finishing up their lunch . Good thing I had Bodhi with me as he was a good decoy having a wee walk whilst they packed up . Where I thought the cache was calling me only revealed a Canadian Club . Found the right GZ and found the cache safe and sound. Tftc
Well after my son left our place on Father's Day. i told my wife that I had a couple of caches required to get over the summit. So we ducked down to get the four or five required to get over the top. thanks for this one
Born and bread in the Scenic Rim i have been watching with interest as this series has emerged. In fact on a couple of occasions I have been driving past on the publication day but had more pressing issues to address as I prepare the family farm at Moogerah for sale in the not to distant future.
With local knowledge come local stories at each location. It is rumoured that late one night way too much alcohol was consumed by a small group of school boys at this very location. It is also rumoured that cars driving down the road that night may have witnessed a streak which was not a geocaching streak.
Strange things have been seen in the bush
