Day 14 of my fortnight+ road trip up to Brisbane and back to Blue Mountains. Waiting for my geomobile repairs to be completed, hence more QLD geocaching.Focusing on older caches for my Jasmer calendar. And more LGAs to the west. And those randomly here or there by chance. Dusk find enroute to Toowoomba. TFTC Georgie & Co

Lovely, scenic location. I was a lot cooler at the cache than out in the open, so I'm glad I decided to follow the short trail.

With a day off work, I decided to head out and do some caching. I mainly targeted caches that would help with several challenges Im currently working on. Slowly chipping away at the Jasmer Challenge and finding this cache allows be to cross another month off the list. Great to cross off another old Queensland cache from the list. Nice scenic location. TFTC. T 1xTB LN. SL. Retrieved TB Surrey Travel Tag from cache and will move along. TBs Eddie Mac to New Zealand and Back, Prado Owl , Rawhide and Kiwi Bird visited.Find # 1868.

On a pretty big day out I spent the afternoon in Ravenshoe National park. This was the last of four caches attempted on this visit.I really enjoyed this cache. The instructions were very clear, and as foreshadowed in the description, the foilage has certainly advanced over the last two decades. A quick walk from the seat and I could see the remnants of the felled tree. After a quick search, the cache container was found. All good here. Thanks very much for creating this cache for the community Georgie & Co. CheersNote: I recorded the code for the trackable which is still in the cache container.

Found and signed with a sticker. Amazing views, loved visiting with some of the extended unicorn family tftc

We decided to go the long way home after spending the weekend in Toowoomba. That gave us the opportunity to pick up some oldies, some that helped with challenges and explore new places as well. I havent been here since childhood and my return brought back some great memories. My first ever confrontation with as snake happened on the circuit walk here more than 35 years ago. Today, the only thing I had to deal with was a leach, although Im not sure which is preferable. We followed a slight geotrail a short way into the scrub where the cache was quickly found. Afterwards we headed over to take in the expansive views. Thanks Georgie & Co

Awesome location, great views!

I was surprised to see that there were several 'old' caches on our target list today. We had picked them based on accessibility and likely interesting points of view. When we pulled up I noticed a group of people picnicking not far off. We made ourselves inconspicuous at the nearby table, and I darted into the scrub. Easy find and a great size. So glad many of the caches found today, this one included, contained a pen or pencil.

During our recent stay in Crows Nest we stopped in Ravensbourne to enjoy a break. We found this oldie in good condition and signed the log. A fav point for the view.

In Crows Next for the weeked for the Rural Safari 2022. Staying over for an extra day to recover, so decided to go for a leasurely drive down to the Lakes, which I have never visited before.

Pretty fairy land! unfortunately, the ink has leaked everywhere, including over my new $2.00 T-shirt from St Vinnies.....

Thanks Geogie & Co - I have removed a lot of rubbish from your container.

Good one indeed! Dropped by the lookout to eat my lunch today in my way to Toowoomba. GZ is a magical place! I haven the TB’s to move them along
 
22-Jan-22
Took us a bit and a wander down the path, but we figured we definitely had gone too far and headed back to the car to search closer to the park. Did a quick look for other tracks and found it 30m from our car. Great little hide.

Beautiful place, but you may need to climb into the bush. Quite a big one, I'd say. Lots of unexpected things inside. Thanks a lot.

I started my road trip out to Cunnamulla with a planned detour driving caching day out around Minden, Marburg, and then north picking up old caches and a few as I passed. Then travelled up to Esk and the across the divide finish up in Highfields for the night where I will start tomorrow.

Some absolute crackers of caches and views, some easy grabs and then there was the ones I suffered from cache blindness. Thank you to all the CO’s for the cache hides.


My next for the day, a quick find, I signed the log and replaced as found all good with this one.

In the dark and I thought really I have to go in there, I braved the dark and rainy conditions and wondered in. wow that’s not too bad really and found the cache in seconds, awesome.

I was in the area today and just had to visit this old cache. 18-01-03 was my last visit... pretty damp inside so dried the best I could. Need some desiccant packs. Used mine up replacing Bald Rock Views. Thanks for the memory Georgie&Co...

Tftc! Managed this one even with plenty of muggles around enjoying the public holiday weather.

Reception was too spotty up here. And maybe we were looking in the wrong spot. Perhaps a hint would be good for spotty reception
 
16-Apr-21
What a spectacular view from up here.
After the recent rains, the cache had half a cup of water inside but the log was ok. We drained the water, signed the log and replaced the cache - lid down. TFTC

So brilliant to find such an old cache! Thanks for this. Definitely worth the detour.

On our drive from Toowoomba to Brisbane today, we decided to go a circuitous and sightseeing route.
We were not disappointed with our drive or the wonderful views along the way, particularly close to GZ here.
I lovely location to bring people to, thanks Georgie& co.

I hadn't realised how old this cache was until I got here. Very glad I came on this detour despite the day wearing on and I still don't have accommodation for tonight organised yet.
I'm treating myself to a caching holiday after a family Christmas in Mackay, I haven't had a chance to do this much caching in years. tftc
 
29-Dec-20
We decided to stop here for lunch today (No, not at GZ. At the picnic area up the road, along with dozens of other folk) Ambled down to GZ and through to GZ where the cache was soon in hand, logged, and replaced. Enjoyed the lookout, but couldn't see Swanbank power station. Wasn't it demolished some years ago? Over lunch, I got out the 4G modem again and the Tablet to look up details for the other ancient cache here "Raven Caven" which I forgot to download to the Etrex on Sunday. TFTC, Georgie & Co. It is great to see these old caches still kept alive since January 2003 (Long before I started caching).
