Decided to keep driving in this directionCouldnt pin down the cords but not many places to look. TFTC Dunmowin

Found with Goldielover. I thought we had already found this one, It seems to have moved a little from what I remembered.All good here with your cacheTFTC

Found with stairman1s. Heading home from Giraween. So quiet around here. Only the horses neighing. Its a cute little church. TFTC

Thank you

A couple of ride events during the week in the Warwick area I was free to knock off a range of isolated caches along the way back to Brizzy.

TFTC! Such a lovely view around this area. Its a shame there is some haze about this evening. Nicely tucked away this little find.

Up here for the day- much cooler than home. Found cache and signed log. TFTC

Heading up to Stanthorpe for the day and thought we might stop for this cache. Knew there wasn't to be any service here today - so we could search without worry! Fairly quick find once you are in the right spot. Thanks Dunmowin for placing.

Decided to go for a drive down south today and on our return we took a few detours to pick up some more caches in the area. Quick find at GZ.Tftc DunmowinFind #6118

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Staying in Toowoomba while the caravan is in for repairs in Burpengary. Today we headed south for a visit to Team Robins. A pleasant drive in the countryside stopping for a cache or 2 along the way. TFTC Dunmowin

Found it

Out with Geo-Cus (Ms Three Legs) from Melbourne, showing them some of the murals and sculptures around the country side.This was one. Cache still in good order. All

Found with Cosmonaut97 and Firebatman88

All about the angle no need to enter the church grounds for this one. Found on our way to stanthorpe for an event up there. Signed SFC. TFTC.

Had some trouble removing it from its hide. Thanks for the cache Dunmowin

Found it beautiful cold sunny weather ! TFTC

Came out to fill a day in my find calendar. A quick find. Signed the log and replaced the cache easily.Thanks for the cache Dunmowin.

On our way back to Brisbane from Warwick we stopped and found a few cache hides off the highway, this being one.It was a quick easy find. TFTC

TFTC - nice little hide

Tftc great location on a rural drive.

After receiving a report that this might be missing, we drove out to Freestone on New Years Day. With our torch, we were able to see where the cache was - it had been pushed in way to far. We used a trusty TOTT, retrieved it, added a magnet which might hold it "not so far away" for the next hider.Visited all our current TBs at the same time.

Found cache on my way to do 3 caches near Emu Vale. It was a lovely way to explore the back roads of this district. I thought I could see the cache but I couldnt retrieve it. Contacted the CO who was very responsive and I have permission to log - even though I physically didnt sign the log book. CO will do some cache maintenance shortly.

I do love a quaint little country church

Lovely spot and church TFTC

Great hideOut and about with client

Out and about today to find a few caches. A quick find here today for me. Thanks for the cache.

I went down to BrisVegas for a pre-Xmas lunch and decided to do a couple of quick caches on the way home. We decided to detour via Freestone and spotto - another cache to find & log!! Thanks to Dunmowin for putting this cache here and its a nice fence!! LOL

I was given permission to sign it after informing the owner it was missing after only a few days out. I told the owner I would not log until I actually signed the replacement. So instead of being 2nd I am 3rd to sign, oh well. Thanks for another smiley Dunmowin.

Last stop for us on the way home from Tannymorel today. Noticed this one had been reactivated and after a short search we had cache in hand. These old little churches are very cool and seem to be well maintained as well. TFTC

Cache container is back in play. Fence is not yet completed, but workable.....Thanks for your patience

Cache container is back in play.

Called past agan today. Still no apparent movement on completion of the fence

Passed by yesterday. Still no progress on the fence. Will give them another month, then decide on whether to keep the location alive or archive it.

Called past again today. Church working bees are very slow. Still not completed

Passed by today after breakfast at the Freestone Hall. Fence still not completed, so not willing to replace the cache yet

Called by to check on fencing project. Still in progress, but definitely progress being made. Have made diary note for another few weeks.

Apparently, fence workers relocated the cache from the given hide to in the fork of a nearby tree. For which I thank them, as it gave Geoff511 the opportunity to have the FTF, however, as it is inside the church grounds, I have removed it until the fence is completed then readdress.

Amazing, I placed this cache on 4th May, it was published on 25th May, and FTF on 31st May.

Another cacher arrived on 1st June to find the fence had gone and new fence posts in place.

Checked to find new fence in progress and cache hide was gone. Will check in one month to see how the new fence is going, and if there is a suitable hiding place

NB: I will be giving the cacher who advised me of the change at GZ permission to log a find.

Phone call recieved by local cacher. Appears the fence has been replaced. Need to visit to relocate the cache

{FTF} Just spent 2 days of 1 day I set aside to cache this week when I noticed this little gem appear. So my geodog Scruffy decided we would check the map this morning and if no one had found it, we would, and we have

All good ... TFTC ...
