Looking for Water Barney Point, Queensland, Australia
By Cache_Ghost on 24-Sep-22. Waypoint GCA06G3

Austria is hunting for caches in Australia. Thank you for placing and maintaining these caches. I had a lot of fun, thank you for that too

Found in good condition.

Thanks for my first find!

Really nice view found it pretty fast

its nowhere to be seen

Thanks for my first find!

Found in good condition.

Found at 12:38 PM GAFF1. Yep - we saw the water and then started to look for the cache which had only a couple of options and selected the second one and bingo - found it right there.Now that was a change because usually when we see a cache with a lowly 1.0/1.0 we look at each other and say "We are going to be in trouble here aren't we!" And I see that Liz and Bruce who have a massive amount of experience would be saying the same thing - and prove the theory Thanks to Cache_Ghost

Our find find with our car Gepetto!

Gladstone day 2. Gladstone we are camped at the showgroundsHeaded into the harbour area to do a couple of AL & a few caches.A lovely area here, decided to replace the missing cache, contacted the CO.Thanks Cache_Ghost for hiding this cache.

No luck for us thanks

Found it but Container is broken

Thank you Found this today then had shit luck right after I didn't have a pen or anything and the box was broken.So I'll write in it tomorrow and replace the box and put back

Found it but the container is broken

I have seen one hidden like this before so it was very easy to find. The cache container is broken and I had nothing to replace it with, but for now all contents are dry.Beautiful views. thank you for bringing me here.TFTC

TFTC and a nice quick find after having morning tea at Barney Point Park. Im visiting from the Hunter Valley in NSW

Nice little walk around. Easy find. Tftc

Easy find in the rain with The Roos!Fun visiting the area.Tftc

Thanks a bit of a wet day today. Out with The Roos

I dont have many 1/1s ! My experienced geocaching friend told me itll ruin my average! Thanks for placing at such a beautiful location!

Great spot, good find

Keep looking around

Dont need to rummage too far within the garden!! Watch out for mozzies!!

Fun find!

First cache I've looked for and glad I managed to find it, not too difficult but I nearly gave up as I was looking at the wrong side. Great view though

Took a few minutes to search around. Third cache find in Gladstone, was a bit of a hairy search.

Nice easy spot recommend

Found, nice and easy, does need replacing as its cracked and the paper was wet

Found

Finally found it! Was kinda so confused on how we didnt find it the first time

Didnt find

It was my first ever geocache and was amazing

Found 30/03/24

With pippahiccup and suzi1972

Headed over to Gladstone with Drennostar & suzib1972 for something to do on the long weekend. Such a lovely park here! Following the hints we had a look in the place we suspected and found....oh, surely not a toad-shaped gc?! What will we find next! Oh, nope, it hopped away Then Drennostar spotted the cache further along. Added a gnome to protect the cache from any local amphibians. TFTC (and inadvertently the laughs!)

Good view

Such a gem of a spot.TFTC

My first up in Queensland. Quick find. Thanks

Thanks Bundy for our first cache

Good cache at a night time nice and quiet with a view of thr ocean me + friend left a little trinket.

Gps was off still found it not very difficult, el gato cat.

??

Looks like the garden had been re done, I don't know if it's inxtha garden or not, but if it is be careful of the eastern brown snake

Being a local, I guess I should collect some smiley's in the area. I haven't played earnestly for a few years, just the odd find here and there. There was a previous cache very close by a few years ago. CheersBundy

TFTC Cache_Ghost your cache Looking for Water that we found today as we made our way home from QOGM 2023 in Longreach.Pulled up at the camp south of the river at Calliope and after setting up headed to the Ports area. All caches found without too much difficulty.Find Count: 17142

Out and about after attending QOGM in Longreach. On our way home and while travelling stopped to do caches along the way. This was one of them. Found cache and signed log. TFTC

Thanks. Good quick find

Wow should be 0.5 difficulty rating

You would probably see a nice sunrise from here. Tftc

Lovely spot

On the hunting trail with SeasonedBird while on a slow roundabout route to QOGM 2023 at Longreach. In the interest of keeping this cache alive and reading previous logs/DNF’s and a good search by ourselves using hints and tips from previous logs, I have replaced the container including a new log inline with the D/T rating until the CO has the opportunity to check out same. The new container is a plastic film canister. It’s a great day for caching.

For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

Thanks Cache_Ghost for taking time to set out and maintain this hide and for showing us this very special part of the world

Could not find

We spent some time here having a look but quite a few muggles walking their pooches through the park so gave up.

Found not really worth it

Not really worth it at all

Lovely quiet park with beautiful views. Quick easy find- great hint.

Staying in Gladstone after spending a couple of days on Curtis Island with the brumbies, curlews and kangaroos - as part of our 'north for warmer weather' trip (North East Vic to Central Qld).
Thanks to all COs who have provided caches along the way.

Found with tikitere. TFTC

Found

Found it!! Thank you for this fun little cache

Found, but couldn't sign as there was no pen and didn't have a pen on me.. Good little spot with a view.

So camping at Awonga Dam for a few days means I can get into Gladstone and do a little caching and some shopping. There are a few particular caches in town that I saw and some fun looking hides.
While driving around town I am impressed on how Gladstone has “cleaned “itself up. Being here some years back, I thought I would never come here again, but I am very impressed with the town and the friendly people here. The new areas and the attractions around town, very nice, thank you.


All good with this cache, I signed the log and replaced the cache as found. An easy find, then I was on my way to the next. Thanks for placing this one here.

What a beautiful place this cache has been placed in. A quick sign of the log and then headed off for a walk enjoying the scenery. Thanks Cache_Ghost for placing it here.

Nice quick and easy one with a view. Thanks for hiding this new cache

TFTC. Glad to see a new cache

**FTF** @ 0930

In the area with Selva Girls and she mentioned this new cache. So we finished at the Botanical gardens and headed to GZ for a quick find and a blank logbook.

Log signed and all returned as found.

Lovely spot.

TFTC

i noticed that FTF was still available on this cache, so Konie and I made our way here. Once at GZ, the cache was quickly located and the log signed. Happy for a **FTF** so far from home. We took time to admire the view here before returning the cache as found and continuing on our way. TFTC
