Queensland Spring Geocaching Picnic Toowoomba East, Queensland, Australia
By Bolt es on 15-Oct-06. Waypoint GCYEYE

Just realised I never logged this, oops.

Thanks Paul & Suzanne. We had a great day.

Well thanks for your attendance which made it all that more fun.

We were very happy with the fantastic effort made by all to make the trip up to the mountain as the distance can sometimes be a bit of a barrier as with us for some of the Brisbane events.

Traditionally our event had a (half expected) hickup but all in all thing went to plan including the fantastic weather. Our event was far from a complex event and after hosting one makes you appreciate the lengths some go to prepare for these events.

Thanks for those kind words and comments left by attendees. Look forward to being at the next events as a participant. At ths I think I will archive this event into the Geocacheing chronicles of time. Seeya and Thanks.

Thank you Bolt es for bringing us to your lovely city. The event was very enjoyable and the company was even better. It was good to put some new faces to the names we have become familiar with through cache logs and the forum.

Thanks very much Paul and Suzanne. We had a great day, and really appreciated the effort put into it.

Also made us appreciate the effort you guys have always made to get to Brisbane to attend our events, so thanks again.

Jerry & Jen.

Very good weather for the event today. It was good meeting up with every body.

Thanks to Bolt es for organising this event. Had a great time and met lots of nice people.

Many thanks to the Bolt es for a most enjoyable day out, and a nice tour around Toowoomba.

Thanks Bolt es for the country hospitality and a great geocaching picnic [^]
Thanks too to all those who made the effort and attended today. It seems distance is no object for Queensland cachers. Good to meet you all
Twas fun and games at 600metres above my normal level

Thanks very much to bolt es for the day. Good chance to finally meet up with some other cachers and a chance to have a look around Toowoomba. Someone said it wasn't a race - next time we'll know this is just a ploy to slow us newbies down Though I think we deserve a prize for finding every red traffic light in Toowoomba . Thanks again

Thanks guys for a great day - the MadMyers really enjoyed themselves.

Another great event. Thanks go to bolt es for your organisation! We thoroughly enjoyes ourselves, even though Tom was not himself today. [xx(] He's off to the doctor tomorrow and will have the day off school. Lucky Dadda NANKS gets the day off work too!

We passed the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!" geocoin to the HawMorFords today also.

It was excellent meeting some new cachers and catching up with others. See you all at the Bayside Bash!

Thanks to Bolt es for putting together the Spring Picnic in such a lovely spot. Toowoomba really is a beautiful place.

It was great to catch up with familiar faces as well as meet some new ones. Always nice to finally put some faces to the names we see on the computer screen.

Unfortunately we had to make an early exit and as a result we couldn't participate in the day's main event. We had a lovely time all the same.

Cheers.
Peter, Denise, Robert, Emma and Eloise.

We made our way up to Toowoomba on the day before the event - hoping to have a good weekend of geocaching & a chance to explore this local area - we certainly got that, so thanks to Bolt Es for providing the motivation to come up here.

It was great to catch up with everybody over lunch & we had a really top spot to sit and enjoy each others company with plenty of shade and a nice cool breeze blowing by.

I know that Bolt Es organised an event that wasn't meant to be a time trial, but by the 5th or 6th waypoint we all started running into each other and the race seemed to be on with people leaping out of their car and racing to grab the information. THENANKS even climbed an 8ft high fence to avoid a bit of driving - we enjoyed watching them struggle over, but maybe we should have pointed out the gate to them just 30m away - oh well, you've got to have some laughs.

At the end of the day we made our way back to Brisbane & crawled into the house - exhausted! Dinner, you mean you kids want dinner?

Just Travelling may not get to this local event. Will try but have a great time if I don't see you all.

Up the hill and down again,
If will turn up come hail, shine or rain

At this point it looks like the event should finish about 3:30pm - 4:30pm

GeoScrubers hope to attend - finally meet up with some other cachers!!! - 2 Adults, 2 Kids. Should be there on time, we will be on return from up the South Burnett.

There's a very good chance that DAdeGroot and Family should be able to make the trek west for this one.

We look forward to meeting some more cachers.

These two geocaching adults plan to make the trip to Toowoomba to meet others.

The MadMyers plan on being there - 2 geocaching mad adults and two geo kids!!

Originally the Nosugrefs said they may attend but sadly we have a need to stay close to Brisbane this day for family reasons, so we won't be able to come. We hope you have a great day and hope you can make it to the Bayside Bash or the great Xmas bash so we can meet you. So sorry. Nosugrefs

It's on the calendar, and we will be there! Looking forward to it.
Cheers.

Just letting you know that there will be 5/7 of the HawMorFords in attendance.

Looking forward to it.

Paul & Suzanne,

Sorry to say but we are comitted to another event on Sunday morning. If there is to be afternoon events or a dinner/BBQ planned, we'll be able to fit that in.

Cheers for now ... Geoff & Mel ...

I would have loved to attend but I will be in Bundaberg for the week. This event would have been a lot of fun!

We'll be there.

See, you can avoid your fete!

Aaaarrgh.....Paul, can't you make it the following weekend! I will be up there on the following Friday to catch up, so i will miss the event. Always my luck.

Have fun all. Say g'day to the family.

It's been a while since we've been to Toowoomba. All 4 NANKS should be there. Thanks for organising the event. [^]
