We are back in one of our favourite areas for a long weekend away from home. We left our caravan in Maryborough and took off to visit those caches left and right of the high way. So we went for the first time to Woodgate. We found this cache and signed the log.Tftc llourd

We notice a few dnfs on this one .We went for a look. Finally, we found the cache. The poor thing was weather beaten. Replaced cache and log, and left things for the kids to take. All good here now . Hint it's at the bottom of three dead tress. Attached photo is of the damaged cache.

Found the exact tree that everybody else found by the look of the photos but cache is well and truly gone

Chased away by wasps! DNF. Will try again another time!
 
15-Apr-24
Counting down now to the return to work day on Wednesday, it will be tough after 3 1/2 weeks of travel and caching. On our way back north with alphag_25. Decided to visit Woodgate as something a bit different and to get this old cache here, plus all of the others in this lovely little locale. Intention today is to find some of the older caches to fill in some spaces. A lovely day here for a sit by the beach. TFTC

Thanks for bringing us to this area. Log sheet wet but able to be signed. On a caching holiday from Mackay. In the search of old caches and ones to fill DT grid spaces. Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment with mackay_geocaching. Have mostly had clear sunny days on our trip.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Everything is wet ..needs attention..little bit of a hard one as the co-ords attention a little out..beautiful area though. TFTC
 
07-Apr-24
On our way home from a huge roadtrip down south, in which we completed our Ausmer grid, I went to claim a find on the challenge only to see I had somehow missed one. A quick scramble and search showed this cache with the same month/year. Thank goodness!!! As we were wrapping up our travels with a celebration at Rainbow Beach it seemed only right to just go the extra mile and get it done. So after checkout and saying our goodbyes to all we headed for Woodgate. Id read a few logs so knew the GZ had been a victim of cache creep, but found it in the end. Then what do you know, my stupid pen decided to pack it in. I tried my best to make our mark but could only manage the indent of ATLH. You can see by my photo its there though, as evidence. This container really needs replacing. Had I of known I would have done it myself but after three weeks on the road caching, all my supplies were used up. It would be terrible to see this oldie get archived because of lack of maintenance. Could the next finder please help?

This one took a bit of finding. Absolutely saturated so didnt sign it. Thanks for the pics from previous finds otherwise we wouldnt have had a chance

18-Dec-23
Took some finding as not near the coordinates. Thanks to others for the photos. It was the only reason we found it. Was full of water and the log was wet. Needs a new log. Didn't have anything on me today.

Finally, we found the cache about 10m south of gps coordinate, but that was to be expected as the ap said it could be out. It's not in a Tupperware container but an ArmorAll cylinder. We left a cheeky frog.
