Logs
Checked on this one after it was found on the ground. Returned to GZ. Thanks to the previous finder for placing it up high.
After looking in a few likely places we spotted this one on the ground. Signed the log and put it in a place that we think it probably was supposed to be. Thanks KabbellaQld for the cache.
TFTC KabbellaQld your cache GeoExperience - Long Walks that we found today.On our way home from a caching adventure in and around Mackay. Left Sarina this morning with Gin Gin as our destination tonight before reaching home in Maryborough. After setting up we headed out to find the caches around Lake Monduran and Gin Gin. All found in good order close to where the co-ordinates said we should look.Find Count: 20560
This took a long search found it about when we could have given up. Happy to hear those magic words, 'found it'.An interesting morning to hitch up and leave Bargara and get on the road. Having arrived home after a night cache to find a car had parked right up close to the hitch the previius evening. Impressive driving by sacada with margins so narrow to reverse and turn with many obstacles. Phew, made it out of the seemingly impossible. Into Bundaberg for more adventures of the fun type with caching, ginger beer and ALs. Gin Gin was a short stop that was a little longer. The joys of going with the flow! I've always liked little goats, and the groovy goat was a pleasant place to be. Not quite the same type of goat, but a good one still.Stopping for caches at towns as we passed, Childers had a few good AL's and a nice little town. Camping arrangements pre made, we arrived at a camp ground just north of Maryborough after dark. 100 kids just left that afternoon and we were the only campers. Great facilities, great price and they also had complementary fresh eggs to gift! Thanks for your cache to add to our enjoyment!
Finished another long trip around Australia. The 6th. Next up to Townsville to grab the Palm Island LGA. Only 2 LGAs to complete Australia.Firstly heading back south for some Canberra time.TFTC. Interesting start to the morning where someone decided to park right in front of the caravan's hitch. Careful manoeuvring with millimetres to spare and I managed to get the car in and hitched.Back to Bundaberg for the Ginger Beer factory and a few other caches.Went to Gin Gin to get the Ad Lab and enjoyed the food at the Groovy Goat so much we left town with only 3 points.Next to Childers where we did 2 Ad Labs properly with a few other caches.Next to the scout campground at Maryborough which was super cheap and he also gave us chicken and duck eggs. Worthy of another night's stay.Nice hide. Took a bit to spot.
A quick find here by Mr Juju as we log the cache then continue into GinGin town! TFTC
Looked up where we thought it would be but couldn't spot it. Even looked on the ground. Thanks
Will drop in and check on it in the next few days. There were a few big storms lately so it may have been dislodged.
We'll blame last night's fading light. Quick find today. Thanks for arranging this hide.
Enjoying a day close to home with my wife Geomum007 and visiting Mum in Law, Busy Paws, instead of thousands of kilometres away in a Big Rig. TFTC
Glad we had the KK with us, quite hard for the vertically challenged. Good hide, Thanks for placing.
Didn't take too long, glad to have the height of TheKiltedKacher to help the vertically challenged, Busy paws and myself! Might have just about reached it with some sort of tool to extend our shortness! Signed and relaced. TFTC!
Found with another cacher and logging now I have a premium account. Thanks for the cache.
TFTC and a nice quick find. Signed as T9. Like the seat and the sign. Ive enjoyed staying in this town.
Had the opportunity to go caching with GeoGrandad and GeoGrandma. On small logs signed the log sheet TP3. Apologies for boiler plate logs. TFTC KabbellaQld
I did not have much to do today and Geohubby ( youngoldfella) said he was going to Gin Gin so we ( me and Geograndson, Tadpole3 ,) went for the drive and experience as well. On small logs signed log CCC on some I signed CCCacher and others coralcoastcacher. No acting required here as there was no one else around. Quick find.. Apologies for boiler plate logs. TFTC KabbellaQld
Today was the day I had free to drive to Gin Gin Arrived close to the path and seat and my GPSr indicated 10 meters away from where I found the cache but it is at the seat shelter. Signed log YOF as this is what I use on nano and micro logs. TFTC KabbellaQld
[FTF] A lovely quiet part of the town, but the locals like to walk their pooches here so stealth mode was enacted. Thanks for a nice little series of caches. Loved the variety. We will leave some of the FTF for others to claim. *The generic bit for this trip*We are on now on our way south after heading north for warmer weather. From Cooktown back to Notth East Victoria, weaving inland and to the coast, caching as we go. No real plans, just taking each day as it comes and enjoying the adventure in our converted ambulance. Thanks to all COs for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.
