Stop, Revive, Survive. Mount Larcom, Queensland, Australia
By Bundyrumandcoke on 20-Oct-06. Waypoint GCYZ1C

This one has gone, probably during the recent roadworks. As I dont get down to Gladstone too often these days, I think its time to put this one to bed. Thanks to all those who sought and found it during its lifetime.

Cheers
Bundy

Our thirty-ninth day of our honeymoon to New Zealand and Australia.
As the weather predictions for the Gold Coast region are still very bad we decided to drive further up north. Our first stop is at Bundaberg were we did several caches to enjoy a short walk just to stretch our legs. The destination of today is Yeppoon. On our way to it, we drive along a lot of fields with sugar canes and we stop to buy some fresh strawberries at a farmer. We are happy to arrive at the Yaamba rest area early in the afternoon as it is already quite busy. After parking the camper van and having a short talk to our retired neighbors we went to the Driver Reviver Coffee Stall for a cup of coffee. After that we feed the rainbow Lori’s and we made spaghetti carbonate for diner.

We DID NOT found this cache.
Before reaching to our destination we decided to make a stop to switch drivers and what is than better than a location where also a cache is hidden. At ground zero we did not found really some magnetic things, only a temporary black fence, but there the cache was not listed. After searching about ten minutes we stopped as we had really no idea where the cache could be. We now see that we are not the only one which can not find it, so there may be a great chance that the cache is gone. Please check!

No find on this one its a work site it may be gorn!!!Will try on way home in September- we really checked (4of us) every poss magnetic site but ho hum no go !!!

Didnt find this one........may need to check if any one else finds in the future .

Continuing our trip along the east coast with our Jucy… not only the driving was challenging itself but also the hides were an adventure as they were between huuuuge spiders snakes and ants – at least for Europeans

But we had plenty of fun and uncountable mozzy bites.

Thanks to all owners for making us more than one laugh and shortening the trip and showing beautiful spots. ….

a quick grab at a fantastic spot with kangaroos and parrots....thanks for showing.

TFTC NICE hide Gr8 DIDO.

A nice easy roadside stop. Tftc

I cached the cache as you do. A bid exposed but hey! The whiff of Mt Larcom Cafe and Big Mama's Pies was too much to resist. I went for the chicken and curry. The pastry was a bit damp so went back inside and asked for a fork. Unbelievable. Stop off, eat it on the verandah. You get a good view of GZ while you woof down your reward.

Thanks to Bundyrumandcoke and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Good pit stop, found the cache, took nothing left nothing. TFTC

Quick find. But are you sure (color-hint)? I don't think so ...

Nice easy find but we had trouble returning cache. Had to wait for muggles to disappear which took about 30 minutes. Anyway back in place ready for the retriever!

Have stopped at this rest area a number of times but not to grab a cache. Like others thought it was black but this color is more suited to the location.Very quiet here as all traffic had been stopped a couple of ks up the road to enable a huge piece of machinery to pass with multiple police cars and wide load vehicles so all traffic was halted.
A quick find, a cuppa and we were on our way. Thanks Bundyrumandcoke for placing this guy.

Had to be sly with this one to avoid the eyes of muggles mr dupy found it easily though T4TC

Yay, got mrs dupy to throw my thong near cache to very sneakly grab this cache n ran back to the car lol.. Great hide n fun catch

TB hasn't been logged out was not in this cache

I had stopped here heading North two days ago to get this cache but there were too many muggles close by. I could see it but everyone seemed to be watching me so I left it. Stopped again today on the way back heading South and many less muggles, so was able to snatch the cache, sign the log and replace it without anyone watching. TFTC Bundyrum&coke

Our TB follows our journey in Australia! Cheers!

We found this one on our way to Bundaberg. Thanks for this reviving pause! and greetings from Switzerland!

Nice easy find on our way north. TFTC.

Nice rest stop here at Mt Larcom. Quite a number of cars & people here however the cache is a little distance from where most park. The actual cache position is quite exposed however there is only one possible place for it to be making it an easy find. Nice to have a cache here at the rest stop – thanks.

I quite like Mt Larcum and really enjoyed the meat pie and the break

Cheers and thanks for the cache

yes

Found with the Reluctant Companion on a trip to the Sunshine Coast. Quick easy find for a "right out there" cache. GPS was out about 8 mtrs. TFTC.

No muggles around this afternoon made for an easy find. TFTC

Just dipping my TB I brought through this cache

There were 2 muggles sitting at a picnic table right near GZ who wouldn't move on. I looked really weird, a preggo lady standing right on the edge of the highway checking out various locations of where the cache might have been. I finally managed to squat and find the cache whilst they were looking away from me, but boy didn't I feel stupid! The things we do for the love of caching...TFTC ...eatmorchikin & Stigglepot, Brisbane

Found: Missed it on first grope and then there it was.

Found with Triamks at 2.20pm. TFTC.

Found with Shell at 14:20. TFTC.

3rd Time lucky...
Found it this time just had to broarden my search a bit.
GZ was about 4mtrs away!

AAARRRGGGGHHHH...
still no luck today I stopped in for 10mins on my way to Rocky for work.
I'll have to check my bearings and try again!

Hey Bundy Is this one still active???
The council has put in some post recently and we didn't do any good?
Was wondering if you have checked it lately...Or have we to just LOOK HARDER...

Thanks.

TFTC nice quick find.

Found at 10.20am GAFF1. This place was a mecca for caravaners - must have been morning tea time. We drove our van clear away from the throng and found the cache in the first place we looked.
Thanks Bundyrumandcoke.

Cool hiding place, no muggles, also no Diabetes GC.
