Burnt Out Cedar Creek, Queensland, Australia

To the geocaching community

With an ongoing family crisis I'm unable to get to this.

Given its never received a favourite point it's obviously not worth keeping

The cache was taken out in the last bush fire

Archived

This maybe a victim of recent burn offs

Sorry, I'm not physically able to get out and check/repair/replace at this stage

More like fried toast - this cache is no more, it was burnt out in a recent controlled burn/bushfire.

Found on my walk.Tftc

Had a lovely walk into this cache.
I had the place to myself. Not one muggle just how I like it. [^]
The birds in the area were calling out and flitting through the trees oblivious to someone walking through their home.
They were chasing each other and looking for food.
Found the cache as described and added my name to the list and placed back well hidden as I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks wingaap All good with this cache

Bit of a step up to get this one, but once up there, it was an easy find. Cache was in excellent condition - nice camo job too! TFTC wingaap - always good to find one of yours out here

We had just found "I'll be stumped" and decided to continue bush bashing across till we reach the trail on the other side. Along the way we rock hopped again across a creek and wished we brought along a machete. Eventually we found a trail - Yay! Walked along till we got to GZ and Matt scrambled up to look around. Being short, I was trying to decide how to scramble up to join him when he called out that he found the cache. So I quickly scrambled up (lucky there's no walkers along the trail) and joined Matt at the cache . All is good with this cache . Found with Matt_eth . TFTH wingaap .

Pretty hot today. Glad its only September and not February! Nearly didnt continue on for this one, but I didnt feel like hiking up the hill again soon.

Nice easy find. TFTc Wingaap. All in good order here.

Out and about with T-Tech.

This cache has been on my radar for a while as it's one of my close-to-home-and-not-yet-found caches. We were walking through this area and decided to add it to the list. A pleasant stroll, and an easy find. T-Tech's favourite container type Took the orange Geocaching wrist band and left a metal bangle. TFTC, wingaap.

Out and about with my geospouse IolantheK. Just found one cache in the vicinity and decided to go on a bit further to find this one as well. Located without any trouble and signed the log.

Cache is dry and in good condition.

thanks for the cache wingaap [^].

Found it eventually. Was expecting the hide to be taller.

TFTC

Uphill almost all the way to this one and no we didn't mind. Our 4th find on a day of bush walk caches and a beautiful day to walk. The area was quiet deserted today except for a couple of mountain bikers. Only the brave 1/2 of Modelbear left the trail to track this one down. Soon the cache was in hand and the log signed. The walk back to the car was certainly quicker. TFTC and getting us out walking on such a beautiful day.

Took the long walk from previous cache but lovely day and pleasant walk with quick find at the end. He Wingaap)loves the hill climbs and the bush cover doesn't he????

Ooops, not there - really should look at my compass occasionally. Over there!

Quick find whilst casually passing by here in the middle of nowhere. Neat.

Cheers wingaap and TFTC.

A nice quick one. So hot today evben the mountain bikers seem to be conspicuous in their absence. That said, one rode past while I was signing the log but he was oblivious =)

TNLNSL. Good dry condition.
Thanks
Frewster

Coming to the end of a long walk today, this one turned up without difficulty.
Really enjoyed stomping around the area thanks Wingy!
I took the TB with me.

I was enjoying a pleasant stroll around the area and this one was on the route back to my car. I remember this one when it was published. I think it may have been the first one in the area.

Found the cache easily. The GPS was reading 1m.

All dry inside and I dropped off a Gecko TB. A fitting cache for it.

Thanks Wingaap.

Quick find while caching in the area.
Picked up coin will move on asap

That was not there when I was last here! Really It wasn't. [B)]

Found it now. And left a geocoin as well.

Hurray finally found it! Early morning jog which was quite nice (bit too cold) to this cache with some head hitting i looked harder and found it after a little search Cache in great condition.

Find #56. Found 4/9/11 @1605.

So we came back, heartened by wingaap's confirmation that we are indeed cache-blind. Well, this cache did not want to yield easily to us. The geodogs even discovered a reptilian guard nearby. However, once we changed our outlook slightly everything became clear.

TNLN/SL.

TFTC wingaap!

Note to self.....don't rush out and check caches after a dnf or two. I visited the area today and found the cache exactly as placed.

I checked the coords averaging for 1000+ samples with accuracy reported as being 4.3m

Coords remain as published

As I had a new container, larger than the original I replaced the cache.

As set ready to be found.


I retrieved the TB

Poked around with light rain then thunder & lightning came along with heavier rain will have to give it another shot soon
EDIT: my mistake forgot to check logs before going yesterday

Hmmmm a few dnfs.....disabled until I can get out and check the situation

No luck today.

A DNF for us today. I think we had the right "burnt out" object but it refused to yield a cache.

Thanks for bringing us here wingaap and showing us some more of the fire trails in the area. Happy to return another day if we're just being blind

To the next Geocacher to visit this cache:

The last cachers placed a LovOrcas TB in this cache in April and no one has visited the cache since and the TB is still there.

Would the next cacher to visit this cache please take this trackable and place it somewhere else safe soon.

It's been here such a long time and needs to move to another cache.

Thanks,
Kay and Bob, Aussie Liahona

Found after a quick hunt while on a hike around the hills. If we were more organised, we could have grabbed a few more treasures maybe. All is in good condition and dry. Took TB. Left TB

I enjoyed the walk along the fire trails to this one. Of course, I'd just re-hidden it when a jogging muggle came along the track. They didin't stop for a chat, thankfully!

I signed the log at 1525. Left the Homepride JIRO TB to continued its travels, and picked up the Geocoin.

Thanks for the cache, Wingaap

807 - After a false start and a walk around a smaller circular track in Ironbark Gully, we found the track we needed to be on. A nice walk up the hill on a warmish afternoon, we visited a K8'n'Co cache a bit further up the track, before we came back to pick this one up at 5:17pm. We found the cache in good condition so we left a Rocher Percé TB Hotel Lover TB. TFTC Wingaap.

Decided to attack this one from 'ill be stumped' GCH1GD. Cross country is not a good strategic move, puff, groan, ouch!
Once I reached the road/track things were much better, and soon had my second wingaap cache for the day. TNLN. TFTC.

Found today after picking up Bags, Butterflies etc and I'll Be Stumped. Not sure why geo-hounds are excluded on "attributes" as the start of the track to the south (where we came out) states that dog -walking is permitted.

Regardless we and our geo-hounds had fun on this one, as usual

Thanks Wingaap

While in the area doing another cache - I thought I would tackle this one - because ye olde trusty Mio tells me its 440m away. It ended up being 1400m away I went up the hill from the cache I had done and noticed I kept moving away from the cache. I thought.. oh well.. nice dayf or a walk. Thankfully the path went back on itself eventually and lead me to the GZ. After a bit of a scramble I found GZ OK. A great area - but too many long paths for the "less than fit among us"

TFTC Wingaap - and the great exercise

same reason, to old for bush bashing had 2 goes

Our last cache on a great little loop walk we did in this peaceful bushy reserve. A standard – but rock solid – cache container this time, but at least it won't suffer from dampness. Another nice peaceful (on a weekday anyway) bushy locale. Took the very apt Bushfire Appeal coin to move along to points north. Thoroughly enjoyed our wander in this reserve and the caches we found. The walk is more of a gentle stroll really on excellent tracks and one we'd happily recommend to anyone – passers by such as us or locals.

Found at 13:55 with NyletaM after the long trek from the car park.
A nice trek though.
Found the cache easily, after a bit of bush bashing.

This was a pretty standard container by wingaap standards, but I supposed I can't complain as the walk was easier than usual. TFTC

Easy find when approached from right direction -- nearly invisible from the other way. I originally tried a little downhill of this, turned up nothing, returned to the path and realised (just as a muggle walked past) that my "other" GPS had fallen off my belt somewhere! Fortunately it was in the last place I'd poked at for the cache, and was easily spotted and retrieved. Phew! TFTC Wingaap!

Another found while tromping around through the bush. TFTC!

Thought this might be a better spot for Sam.

Wow Too long track and bloody hot day. PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another cache down. Having a great trek through Brisbane Forest Park today. TNLNSL. TFTC.

A nice easy find after an interesting bushwalk. TFTC

Second for the evening adn a great walk. TNLNSL TFTC

Geoson spotted this one. Left surfboard keyring and took green camel.
SL. TFTC.

Decided to bushbash the first part and then found the path. Then couldn't remember where we came out when we were heading back to the car! *ahem* But we made the find and signed the logbook TFTC (again!) Another nice walk that we otherwise wouldn't have discovered.

A nice easy find on my circuit around the woods. Thanks for the cache Wingaap. TNLNSL

We didn't mean to be more adventurous cachers (especially considering we had a 3 year old in tow) and try for 3 caches in a circuit but we took the wrong track from Lomandra to start with and decided to try for Leave your horse at home as instead! We found the right track on the way back and grabbed another cache as well before finally getting to Burnt Out then headed back to Lomandra. So 3 caches it was! Had a lovely picnic in the near deserted picnic area and then headed off for one more cache before heading to Iron Bark Gully for a couple more. Tired out the geokids nicely. TFTC

Got this cache after a long and healthy walk around the forest finding some other caches as well. Took cheesy geocoin LN. Thanks Wingaap.

Left a cheesy geocoin for the ants to digest.

Found easily with Mr Lat&Long. I also found some baby staghorns on the side of the earth bank beside the track. I have never seen them this small at about 4cm diameter. TFTC

Nice, easy find after a nice, easy stroll up the track with geowife. TN/LN/SL. A bunch of ants with large, yellow bodies have set up house under the cache and were none too pleased to see me pulling the roof off their house.

I approached this one from the wrong side of town - Monolith, starting from the carpark down low via the wrong track up (BYO track/gully). It was a long walk and an even longer walk home but it was worth it!

I'm glad I took the track home, I saw some great looking birds (the flying kind). TNLN, TFTC!

At 15:40. Took diabetes TB. Left crocheted hairpin.

We were pretty weary before we got there. We had already done Map Monkey's Lament. We started with the idea of completing the circuit from I'll Be Stumped and Mission Impossible #2 but after slogging up the branch covered climb and not getting any closer we decided to go back to the picnic area. Then we didn't find the right track until we had bush bashed up the side of the ridge. Well all's well that ends well. TFTC Wingaap, the 3rd of yours today. At least with this one the cache itself is not the problem.

Survived THE storm

Many thanks to K8'n'Co for passing on the good news.

tree down - storm damage - area has been closed

Was geo-cycling in the area today doing a few caches, found this one, TFTC

We had 30 mins to locate this cache, return to our car and drive back to The Gap to pick up Jo Possum from acting classes. The GPS was jumping around so we just attacked every "burnt out" object in sight. Located just in time and made it back only 2 mins late. Cache in good condition.

This one popped up in the GPS as we were strolling through the area (thanks for the advice about GSAK Wingaap - it's already proving useful). Cache is dry and in good condition. Geoson swapped a pendant for some star wars cards. TFTC.

Found at 1030. Took a quick walk from Momolith to this one. Found it quickly, then the long walk back to the geomobile and on to Anaconda to see if I can pik up a bargain. Cache dry and OK. TFTC.

0886 re-logging due to name change

886 This was a pleasant walk - having come with insider knowledge. Easy find. TFTC wingaap

Needed a gentle stroll to unwind the legs after tackling Delilah's Cache this morning. Found the easy way to this one (thankfully) and can report that the cache is safe and dry. TFTH

Talk about the wrong way - I think gefscofix gets his sports mixed up sometimes... No need to go cross country the way from the direction we came at this one! How can this cache be so seemingly close to other cache(s) in the area - yet it ends up being so far!!!

Nothing like adding a level of complexity to the hunt!

TFTC

Found today with M from A&M who'd been here several years ago. Wow! We certainly took the wrong way to this one. Good exercise... Left tiny camel, took geocoin. TFTC!

Found this one today after To Bee or Not to Bee. Dropped off a geocoin aswell. TFTC!

Spied a solitary Kookaburra and noisy Rainbow Lorikeets while signing the cache log. Great hide, safe and dry. TN but left behind a patch of ground which wasn't rained on. Thanks for the hunt and the excercise. PescVerde.

A find coming back from "Noel Noel", took some spare batteries for the GPSr and left some swaps.

TFTC

Nice walk on a beautiful day, shame I came in the long way.

I promised myself that when the weather cooled down I would tidy up the remaining five caches I had not done on this side of Brisbane Forest Park. 2 of 5

Found in the company of SARGod...

TFTC TNLN SL

Found @ 2:36pm

Little Miss and I carried on from "Noel Noel" as it didn't seem far. Hmm... I know this road... we were here on our way (we were lost) to "I'll be stumped" a few year ago when little miss was brand new to the world. Its much slower when she's walking under how own steam now but so much easier on Daddy.

Found the cache okay once the grown up of the party was the one with the GPSr. It was a lovely day for a bush walk. After we found the cache we had ourselves a snack in the gentle sunlight. Little miss was particularly taken by the wind in the trees.

Thanks Wingaap, we had a great afternoon of it.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Once we'd decided on the path, it was a pleasant and easy stroll anyway! Dodged some kids on bicycles around GZ and a bushwalker or two, but no worries . Dropped TB. TFTC! ='.'=

With so much bush walking today I was glad for the cooler weather. This was a pleasant and easy stroll to GZ. TFTC

decided to trust the equipment and do direct line, those hills, found the cache easily with Kulai, took pen,put jelly fish.tftc

Lovely spot for a cache - especially after treking directly across from "I'll be stumped" with GeoKutzrs. Took snake, left poker chip. TFTC.

We really enjoyed this walk...especially after a pretty lazy day...and what a great location!

TFTC.

Found in company with BAZZ

Great little cache. We too came across from Noel Noel and enjoyed the walk up the hills. Left: Mini Gel Pen. Took mini telescope. TFTC.

Trecked accross from Noel Noel the angels did say to nab this one. At least that way there was only one up hill trek.Although I did end up in a different car park from my original starting position. TFTC.

This cache was nice and easy to find. TFTC. Find 12 of 14 today.

stick to the track make it easier for you took magic game left pinball game

Great walk to this one - quite surprised by the number of bikers on the track - ran our of puff last time we were around here and missed this one. Left TB IN Magic trick OUT parachute

Walked to the cache with my son, Robbie Williams, and the geohound. Found the cache nice and dry.
Left a geocoin. TNSL Thanks wingaap.

Found at 18:40 after a 2km hike. The tracks around here only go uphill, never downhill.
IN: snake and DHL truck
OUT: ball on string and mini baseball

Good day for it. Thanks. TNLN

This one was a little hard to find for us newbies but loved it! Thanks! TNLN.

This cache was find number 59 of 102 finds I did with Dtay for our record attempt on Saturday 18 November 2006.
We were here at 13:10 hours.

Enjoyed the walk to this - is also an orienteering area I have run through on occasion. Found cache, recorded visit and we were off. Picking up caches consistently now - we are on fire.
