Out for a ride with the crew...thanks for the effort...

Group bike ride to look for a few caches on the bike trail and just off it.Cooler day with a breeze. Great weather.Logs signed T189TFTC

Staying at the Central Caravan park at Mackay.This morning the T189 went out bike riding as a groupTheir bikes were all organised & off they went for an enjoyable ride.There was quite a large variety of caches & locations they went to.Thanks alphag_25 for hiding this cache.

Out with the group today enjoying the bike track and town. Found this one. Thanks for arranging.

TFTC mackay_geocaching your cache GEOCROC-54 that we found today. Out on the bikes with Team JLBL, Snakepitters, DiMorgan and Liz and Bruce. Did a circuit on the Bluewater bike trail. Successful morning riding and walking when required. We did end up with a few DNFs but these had not been found for 12 months or more.Find Count: 20394

Hi there mackay_geocaching, we found your cache GEOCROC-54 today. Its day 10 of our geocaching trip to Mackay. Today we thought we would attack some of the bike trail caches. Wow, some bush pashing to get to this one.Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache near where our GPS said we should be looking. Cache Condition: Good. Regards Ian & Penny (Found and logged using Cachly).

Another early start today with a plan to get in some paddle caches along the river, however the recent drizzles have put a little dampener on today's plans. With the change of plans, it is now a drive and cache day. We did still manage to get out and get in a couple of water caches but the tide was all wrong for us and the forecast was for heavier rains later in the day so we decided to abort and go with plan B. The walk around collecting some more of the croc series was nice, yet in that open area it was very windy.We then headed out to grab some multi's and a couple of tree fishing caches before a rugged terrain walk to a couple of challenges of which we aborted one, (next time).The rain did not dampen our spirits and we still had a lot of laughs and a nice time caching and checking out areas of Mackay.There are a lot of caches in this little town and surprisingly they are all there in place. We managed to find most of the caches on our trip and all logs were signed, and all caches were replaced as found.Thanks for the placements here and I'm sure we will be back for the remainder at some point.

TFTC smile20481 Out and about on a Sunny day grabing a cache to try and keep a challenge going signed as GS1947 on small logs With geofriends having a great time lots off walking Thank you mackay_geocaching for placing this cache for our enjoyment

We woke up early to a rainy, windy day, so we continued on with our plans best we could with our fowl weather gear on hand.Nearly got blown off our feet at times, but we still managed to find over thirty caches today.All the caches found were in good condition, and a couple were hard to get to but were easy to find once at GZ.Thank you, mackay_geocaching, for another great lot of caches placed for the benefit of the geocaching community.

These few cache's had much more civilised access after the last few that I found, enjoyed the walk and the brief search to find the container's, one with a small tree climb involved, thanks for placing andTFTC

Quite a painful 2+ hours on the puzzle but a quick find here today. Log was a little damp but still signable. Turned around here and walked back to the car, had to be in Charters with the car unloaded by end of school o' clock. Thanks for an interesting series, will have to come back to pick up more of the solutions at other times.

A little challenging but good cache

Out for a little stroll
Grabbing some more of the geocrocs

T4T$ Happy caching Log has been Signed

a bit tricky this one found at 09.55am a harder look but all good ,log a bit wet, dried as much as possible signed and back in place morning search getting better got to be happy eh!,tftc

A some what last moment trip to town so got solving on a few of the puzzles and art work. No boat and not enough time so the T5’s will have to wait and would prefer a crew given the potential for big green lizards. A great couple of days in between other activities. Wasn’t sure how I would go with some of the T4.5’s and suspect some will be easier by boat but with some careful timing and keeping an eye out picked off most of them. A few searches and bites of various sorts but no sightings of those able to give really big bites

thanks Mackay Geocaching for the cool puzzles SL

Thanks Mackay Geocaching for the awesome puzzles. Got some help on solving some of the puzzles but fun finding the caches. SL

06/11/22 Maintenance Check, cache all good

Our group Team Mackz has slowly been solving these puzzles with a bit of local help. Finally got out for a walk to get them with a couple of locals. Found with gcquest79, mackcacher1208, cachequest11. Thanks Geocaching Mackay for creating this series for us to enjoy. A few of these locations definately had eyes on the lookout for crocs but none spotted.

A nice day out on the bike path today following the others getting some geocaches. We tried out the purple scooters which were fun. thanks for the ca$he

We have solved the puzzles and signed the logs, thanks for the puzzles and the hides

Ce matin, nous faisons un tour de 3,3 km à pied avec notre fille et notre petite petite-fille, il fait beau et pas encore trop chaud, c'est très agréable Nous cherchons au passage quelques caches dont nous avons résolu l'énigme, celle-ci en fait partie. Nous trouvons rapidement la fixation, mais le contenant a disparu ! Nous accrochons un contenant de maintenance à la fixation. Nous laissons la trace de notre passage sur le nouveau logbook et remettons tout en place soigneusement. Merci mackay_geocaching pour cette cache et pour la découverte des lieux

Thank you very much mackay_geocaching for placing this geocache, giving me a reason to explore this area. I am currently traveling along the coast and try to get as many targeted caches as I can. The majority of them are either in an interesting location, have a great DT combination, a good set of attributes or work in other ways towards my stats. So it was great fun stopping here and getting this cache.
From this series, I solved all the ones I needed before the trip. A few days ago I did the northern part and now on the way back home we stopped once again and did now the southern caches as long as the tides allowed. I very much enjoyed the run out to these ones, a great way to a stretch after having driven up from Rockhampton this morning and now continuing on to Townsville.

Out for International Geocaching Day.
A nice little walk on a glorious sunny day.
A quick find was made.

Enjoying the walk today and even better when the cache was found TFTC

With a few hours spare before flying home today I was able to start on this great new geoart.

Quick find.

Georode

Not surprisingly Townsville caching has fallen into a lull after the buzz of the Mega so Ben and I turned our attention to solving Mackay’s new geoart as it was released.

With the generous DT of the last instalment we brought our plans forward to make the trip down to collect the series as we both needed a couple for our FTF grids and I needed two of the combos for my 8th DT loop.

With an early (middle of the night to me) 5:15am start we set off from home with the boat in tow. Ben did his best to get us there as quickly as possible, drafting to increase speed and limit fuel consumption (I’m assuming).

Looks like some locals may have stumbled upon this one when searching for yams. Geocachers {*FTF*} ? We’re claiming it.

Thanks mackay_geocaching for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

Currently out and about picking up smileys this fine Saturday in the hope that we cam complete the Mackay crocodile GeoArt and add a few more FTFs to the collection
Certainly happy to have picked up a few first to solves along the way early on when these first trickled out but missed the boat when the latter were released. It’s not like I’m in the running to win a jigidi race
Nice to see that you can pretty much complete a DT loop in Mackay now.
Some questionable writing in the log. YAM Tribe may have dibs but if if they aren’t cachers we’ll happily claim the *FTF*
Thanks mackay_geocaching for placing these
