Hi there KNGT, we found your cache The Big Red Bucket at 13:02 today. This is day two of our Nebo power trail" experience. Were caching with Rainforest Cookie and Ratdog. Just like yesterday, our aim is to find as many of the Military" series as we can before we head out on our separate ways. Of course we just had to visit here as well. Answers will follow soon. Regards Ian & Penny (Found and logged using Cachly).

An unplanned drive to Moranbah, but nice to see such a thriving community in the middle of nowhere. Photo of Mr Snakepitter doing a poor attempt at the Toyota ad.

We are camped out at the rest area.After leaving our caravan behind we did a tour into town to do a couple of caches.This is an amazing size for the bucket but would not have taken any notice of the coal if I wasn't doing this EC.Answers have been sent to the CO.Thanks for placing this EC KNGTso that we can learn a little more

Cool stop after staying at the rest stop overnight. Interesting town and great bakery.Answers have been sent for me and kiwisteve2. Tftc

We are enjoying our drive out from Nebo and are glad we detured to the town of Moranbah . Wow, what a big bucket. Many thanks for the cache.

Answers sent. Was happy to add a cache to our daily trips from our base in Mackay.

I've just been pushed to nightshift to sort out the coal washing for a facility (I'm a coal process engineer) so I thought I'd stop by the cache!

Thanks for the tour location

While going past Moranbah I called in here to check out this interesting Earth-cache.Answers sent to CO. TFTC

Caching in the area we stopped here and made our observations in order to log this cache.

Certainly a BIG bucket and interesting information contained in this earthcache.

Many thanks KNGT for the EC

I hadn't been to Moranbah since 91.
Wow it has changed.

I always seem to stuff up earth caches, "which way are the lines going"..... I see lines going both ways /sigh.
Can you say you've found an Earth cache? Visited it maybe.
Nice Bucket

Quick stop whilst checking a few other things along the Peak Downs Highway
Thanks for the cache
Just a note until I send the answers.

Thanks for the geocache

Mr CNQ, travelled down from Charters Towers had lunch and picked up a few other caches in Moranbah, before continuing to Emerald. Interesting to read about the background to the predominant industry in this area. Saw some big machines closer to Dysart and it was an interesting drive. Sent answers and attached photo of GPSR on a bucket tooth. Thanks for setting up this earthcache KNGT.

Found it. Thanks for the info

Done on a recent trip to Morinbah. Thanks for the info

I am travelling with TBU1Bikesu in this area to discover unknown regions and refresh memories from previous trips.

This time, we stayed couple of days in Moranbah, a beautiful town.

Answers for this cache had been sent to CO, it was interesting to learn about this machinery and coal mining .

We came up North to escape the winter chill at home.

We are stopping for sightseeing and caching .

We enjoyed our stay in Moranbah and had learned a lot of the mining industry, also by working on the answers for this earth cache.

A fav point for the entertainment!

The rain finally stopped long enough to get out n about so thought I'd grab a cache or 2, haven't found an FTF for a while so hopefully I have the answers correct.
