What a shame that this cache was archived.
It would have been good to keep it and have a local in Bundy area maintain the cache.

Found easily. Great spot. We had 10mins here before pushing back to Brisbane. Have also collected cache by owners request.
After a bit of looking we managed to locate the cache, I think that it had been moved from its original location, so after replacing the very wet log book with a few bit of paper the we had with us in a new zip lock bag, I returned it to a spot that better matched the coordinates and hint. Great spot well worth the trip. TFTC
The next person up here may like to bring a new book as we only had paper with us.

The Fuddleys seem to be following us around!
The log was saturated, but just able to scrawl in it.
Took small fireman, left Ute with Zodiac inflatable. (Just the thing to take the kids fishing on the river.)
Was so impressed we told a couple of friend who also came down and had a cuppa at this lovely spot.

Looked everywhere no luck, Geo wife not fussed on spiders though. nice spot but being a calm day the midges tried to carry us away.
10:38 Whilst on a recent trip to Bundaberg for Easter I managed to locate the cache. Great spot everyone out checking on their crab pots.
Defiantly don't follow the nuvi to here
Thanks for the cache

1330hrs. Our mapping software had us on the south side of the river. After a loop we found it. Cache has been moved but still an easy find.

We called in on this cache during the sept/oct 07 school hols with the geokids.... somehow forgot to log this cache and only just realised that after we discovered Everlasting's geocoin in our caching bag :O
Very sorry for forgetting to log it in
unfortunately cant remember the date of our visit.
(sorry, wrong geocoin name)

Oh my god...... What a fantastic part of Australia. How good is this place for a picnic and a bit of a stroll along the riverside. Thanx very much for placing this cache, best one we've been too thus far. Road was great, a little wet on the edges, but overall good. Took lure and marble, left baby fireman, mole, motorbike and frog. (yep filled it up). Ta!!!!!!!
Really cool spot, thank god the road was mostly dry otherwise I think we would have got stuck. Kids took marble and car and gave lure and golf ball. TFTC 
Oh my what fun the MadMyers did have. But Crystal the white 4 wheel drive will never be the same again!!!!! Mud, mud, mud everywhere. If it has been raining then the road in is a very muddy, very very muddy road indeed. We took a wine stopper and a dragonfly and left a stress ball and a lanyard. Now onto more caching but oh my word - you should see the car!!!!
Hey what a beautiful spot. Even with th eshowers hanging around this place was magic. Geo missus claimed the find first (again). TFTC Cheers 
A beautiful location. Found while on two weeks holiday in Woodgate. Watch for the sandflies though. TFTC
Finally!!! Tried to find this cache a couple of months ago, but street navigation lead me to the wrong side of the creek, and there aren't any bridges! This time in company of geomum, we realised early enough that it was sending us along Baxton Rd (?) again. This is the wrong way! Approach this cache from Heidke St! Cache was found quickly. When we left, GPSr insisted we were on the opposite side of the creek and wanted us to drive straight into it. We were using a Garmin nuvi. Might be worth adding this to the cache description?
Left geocoin.
TFTC!

Found this cache accidentally while at Hoppy Lark Creek for our first anniversary. I didn't realize geocaching had come here, now i'm obsessed and all ready to start hunting. Since we were mere Muggles when we found it, we didn't take anything but we did leave an arm band and recommend anyone to come and find this spot it's lovely. There is a road to this spot that you don't have to bush bash down. Thank you.
This one also good for weekday. Terrific spot - will be back to try hand at fishing.
Found site but occupied by picnicers. Will try again and take picnic lunch and rods.
How do you get to GZ? Took AWD along 4WD track, and had to turn around when tracks disappeared. The closest I could get was 800m, and I wasn't going to bush-bash by myself along creek. 
We had a feeling this one was going to be hard to find the right track in. We were however pleasantly surprised to find it was not a problem. The cache location is lovely and we left a stress card and marbles and took nothing. Thanks Xixau & Shenzi and The Four Bears
Found the ccahe at 15.50am - At last I found this place... Phew!! Wow so beautiful and peaceful area. Love it so much. Took - "Dome Ghana" Travel Bug. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.
had some trouble finding the entrance road to this one, drove straight past and went in circles to woodgate.
felt like someone from above was playing snake (nokia game), and we where the snake [:(!].
On way back to info booth we paid a quick visit to Kanga Picnic.
Found what we at last "thought" was the road
, but turned into a 1.5km 4x4 adventure park[:(!], and then suddenly we hit a nice compacted dirt road, and figured this was the road we were suppoesed to take. BUT WE HAD GREAT FUN , and the Subaru Forrestor proved itself in my opinion!
once we got to GZ, was a peice of cake.
Took Darthi's Dark v2 Geocoin
Left "Dome, Ghana" Unite for Daibetes TB

There has been major bishfires through the kinkuna national park, I am not sure how this cache survived.
... I had been on a roll for most of the day, and looked like beating my caches in a day - till I hit this one...
Heading north along the highway the auto navigator kept telling me to head down to the Isis junction and Buxton !!!
Well I proceeded down this route for a while and read the cache notes - bugger - turn around and back to the highway. So it was off to Woodgate - but do you think we saw a sign for how to get in - of course not. So I had a look at Woodgate and down to the mouth of the river. Still no evidence of how to get in - back to the NP sites - no maps.
OK lets ask a local - a few had no idea what we were talking about 'flash platforms and wheelchair access to the creek' [8)].
Then one lady suggested that it was back at Buxton - oh no...
On the way out of town check out the local info shelter [?] ah ha...
Once on the right path no worries...
Yep the furniture and facilities are impressive for where they are - and you have to ask yourself why they aren't publicised - jees even some of the locals don't know about it
Grabbed the cache - and as it caused me a bit of grief - and I had run out of sunlight to tackle a few caches at Bundaberg - opted to leave a coin for those who venture out here next time.

Just returned home to Toowoomba from our holiday at Woodgate so we're a tad late in logging our find. Great to see another cache in the local area since our last visit - thanks.

Our first "FTF"!! YaaY!! And the GPS was actually off for repairs in sydney, but we decided to give it a go anyway, so there we were...... the Ducklings were at school, but we will bring them (and our fishing rods) back another day soon!
TN, Left 3 wildlife critters that fitted into the cache
Lovely location, loads of effort has gone into setting this area up but it could do with some shade over the picnic table though.
TFTC, nice hide!
