Today we had a long round trip ahead of us, from Pialba over the old railway line to the pier and back along the coast to Pialba. On the way we found all but one of the caches we were looking for. Two were lying on the ground in the area and could be put back, but unfortunately one could not be retrieved because it was jammed. Overall the caches were in good condition, dry and there was enough space in the logbooks for entries. Thank you for the lovely and informative round!
I am in HB at least 2 times a year and only had about 5 to go before I had finished the area. Oh my excitement to see that I would have something to keep be busy over the next few trips. Only here for one full day. I got up early this morning for the first 10. Two of them I will aim for really early tomorrow morning as I will need to bring the step so I can reach! Therefore, 10 became 8. I drove and parked for most of these. Bit lazy of me, but just wanted to prove it was possible for those who need to know. Lol. By this point in the morning, I decided to try to find them without looking at the hint. Kind of a seesaw balance for driving to them.
We are in Urangan for a week to house and dog sit, and escape cold Melbourne. I headed out on a bike loaned from the wonderful jaktembo to complete the rail trail caches on a balmy afternoon. I couple of lads were loitering nearby on those ubiquitous purple scooters as I arrived at GZ, but scooted off at my approach. A quick retrieve of the neatly concealed container. All in good dry condition. TFTC
Searched wrong place first then common sense had us looking in the right spot. Found with Chrissylat. TFTC
Another quick and easy find here. Cheers for the series ms_sammii!Today is day two of our Hervey Bay trip, and today I am out on the deadly tredley caching the new series of caches that run from Urangan Pier to the business centre, then back again via the esplanade, picking up a few stray caches and AL waypoints. In the afternoon whilst collecting bait for fishing I was able to go and rectify a nearby DNF.Heading north on a 5-day trip to Hervey Bay with the family has allowed me to go out and cache the surrounding area. I was able to cram the tredley into the back of the warthog and travel north, stopping a few times. Once to maintain a cache, and another to find a cache. I finally set sights on my destination, Torquay. Over the course of the few days I had, I cycled the new rail trail series of geocaches, did a combined day of shelling and caching Point Vernon, took a drive through Booral and River Heads, travelled to Howard, Torbanlea, Toogoom and Dundowran. On the final day I spot cached as I made my way south, stopping in Walligan, Susan River, Beaver Rock and Owanyilla. I then fought the southbound traffic for a while, then detoured via Yengarie and through Tiaro back to the sunny coast. All things considered, a great holiday and a productive one for geocaching! a MASSIVE thank you to all the COs that I found the caches of along the way!

Found at 11.30hrs. Thought it was about time to get some of these M2BRT Caches. Grab the pushies and off we go. Started at 27 and missed a few one way due to muggles but retrieved them on the way back. Love these caches as the co-ords were spot on, hints were great, and all were found in correct paces in good condition. Thanks to ms sammii and the group for all the trouble in setting up these caches. Much appreciated. Last one for the day. Back next week to get some more.SL and left as found. Great hiding spot.jg
TFTC. It was an excellent trail- really enjoyed the portion of the Mary to bay trail we were on for this. Signed as KTD.
When to Harvey Bay to do some caches with KabbellaQld and Danielle46 signed as KTD we followed the M2BRT to the end it was a great walking trail Tftc
Spent an enjoyable day caching in Hervey Bay as a team and worked our way through this portion of the trail. We did it in reverse and enjoyed the countdown. The path is well designed and smooth enough to be very inclusive it was pleasurable walking past individuals and groups exercising on a myriad of devices including scooters, bicycles, foot, mobility devices and wheelchairs. Particularly enjoyed the last section of the trail where there are multiple murals and sculptures. Signed KTD (KabbellaQld, ToucanKB and Danielle46). Tftc
Today we finished the trail so far from this end. All caches were found, logs signed and replaced as found. Thanks ms_sammii for your time and work in putting this together.

*FTF*The drive back to Brisbane was very much a long one and a wet one. We managed to stop off at a few on the way home just to have a break from the drive, but as we collected a fair few on the way up, the stops were very selective.The rain and the sprays from the trucks did put a serious film on the windscreen to which meant we had to stop and clean a couple of times. We were making good time until I suggested we look and see what to do in Maryborough. Oh and then we had our answer, a bunch of new first to finds in Hervey Bay. So a quick change of plans and we soon were just a minute away from the first cache. Long story short we got to get all eight new FTF caches and meet a couple of german guys who were also on the trail.Logs were signed and the nice new caches were replaced as found, thanks for the hides and the fun we had here today.
Joint *FTF* with our group Charmad Snickersallan & grannysmith1947 and 2 lovely Germany gentlemen gerd9999TFTC smile20411 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 and dirty shoesThank you ms_sammii for placing this cache for our enjoyment
