Find a frog and take a pic.

This is a fairly simple one but we couldn't resist just seeing how many people would attempt this one, Basicly we are asking you to post a photo of you and your GPS on the green frog in the park, so bring out your childish side and some bravery and toughen up it will only take a flash, we may suggest you do this one when the park is fairly empty. 2009-07-26T00:00:00Z tigersden Other 2009-07-04T00:00:00.000Z GA1512 Field Harvester Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1512 Field Harvester Geocache Geocache Field Harvester bucketeer The Gums Queensland Australia Traditional Micro 2 1.5

Somewhere to stop and take a break from driving

We stopped here for lunch while travelling from Moree to Nambour, as there were no caches for about a 100 km either side of this little town on our route, I thought I should break the drought and leave one behind. The cache is hidden on a piece of equipment once used to harvest the field in Moonie. Moonie is famous for being the site of Australia's first commercial oil field and still pumps 35KL of crude oil a day. I hope you enjoy your break from the road whilst driving from somewhere to somewhere else. There are picnic tables, nice lawn, water & a playground for the kids very close. There's also shop & pub across the road. You're looking for a 35mm film container. Better keep it cool 2009-07-24T00:00:00Z bucketeer Other Published 2009-06-20T00:00:00.000Z GA1492 Newcastle on Routh Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1492 Newcastle on Routh Geocache Geocache Newcastle on Routh gerrynewgirl / weroamin Forsayth Queensland Australia Virtual Other 1 2

A view of the Newcastle Range

Travelling west we were disappointed to find that there were no geocaches in this magnificent Gulf Country, we found this wonderful spot near Routh Creek to view the surrounding Newcastle Range. It is even more spectatular at Sunrise and Sunset. Some cars may have trouble transversing the hilly terrain, so it may be better to walk to the co-ords, parking at the bottom of the track or a little way up the road at the roadside stop. A 4WD will have no problem getting to GZ. To claim this cache you will need to post a photo of yourself holding GPS with the Range in full view. The listed Co - ordinates will take you to within 20 metres of the best viewing site.   No hints. 2009-06-20T00:00:00Z gerrynewgirl Other Published on Friday 20-06-2009 2009-06-15T00:00:00.000Z GA1513 Camped @ Denham Range Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1513 Camped @ Denham Range Geocache Geocache Camped @ Denham Range Tigersden Pinnacle Queensland Australia Virtual Other 1.5 4

SMALL CACHE WITH LOG AND PENCIL ONLY. KNEE HIGH 2009-08-23T00:00:00Z Toy Car Found Second GA Cache. After checking in Jeanette and I decided to do this cache. We found it very easily. Muggles driving by didn't seem to care about someone in the middle of the round about. 2009-08-07T00:00:00Z petan Found Finally found this one. Didn't have the new co-ordinates but decided to follow my nose until a likely spot and ignore where the arrow was trying to take me. TFTC 2009-07-25T00:00:00Z WaldenClan Found Found after a bit of thinking. I thought the co-ords were a bit off, It wanted to send me to the other side of the fence, but didn't read the other listed co-ords in previous log until now. Otherwise good hide.

The "don't forget to duck" title and the old co-ords led me to thinking I had to duck under the fence as the GPS was origionally pointing into the car park!! 2009-07-03T00:00:00Z robtas Other given recent DNF's time to go. 2009-07-03T00:00:00Z red tag Found Fancy that, all the way from Tassie, now on my way home and bag a FTF on a Robtas cache! The cache is NOT behind the fence and is easily accessed. I rechecked the coords and got S28 09.922 E153 30.920 if it is of any help. Thanks for the cache, Robtas! 2009-06-25T00:00:00Z Transkeiboy Not Found Although now located behind a temporary fence, the location is still accessable through a gate, but despite much searching (and ducking), unable to locate. 2009-05-30T00:00:00Z petan Not Found No luck in finding this one either. The likely spot seems to be behind some temporary fencing the airport has installed to extend the car park. Would have investigated further but was 'chased' away by some AFP officers. Shall endeavour to come back after dark or wait until after the Wintersun festival when (hopefully) the fencing is removed, 2009-05-17T00:00:00Z GPS-RNAV Not Found Hmmm...had a real good luck to no avail :-( maybee the boys (and girls) in blue have sussed our activity and confiscated it?? 2009-04-28T00:00:00Z robtas Other PUBLISHED 2009-04-23T00:00:00.000Z GA1447 WYNDHAM Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1447 WYNDHAM Geocache Geocache WYNDHAM ROBTAS Tweed Heads Queensland Australia Traditional Small 1 1

I've seen the creek in many different moods and its looking pretty good right now.

An easy micro in the middle of Suburbia.

The challenge for us, was to place a cache that we could always keep an eye on - mission accomplished! The cache you seek is a small pill bottle painted green. Whilst you are in the area, look for some appropriate number plates and if you see them, pop in and say hello! Don't just hang around. Say hello. 2009-07-05T00:00:00Z thefourbees Found Wasn't far away on a day of north side caching so thought I pop in. Spotted the cache fairly quickly but thought I'd go and knock. The 2 cavaliers looked at me and the cockatiel held its tongue. No answer so back to sign the log and on my way. TFTC 2009-03-20T00:00:00Z strong-arm Not Found I am pretty sure I found the right place. I saw a number plate that indicated I was. However, there was a person mowing a few houses down who thought I looked a bit suspicious as I moved my car around and around into the right spot. I had a look from the car but I wasn't keen to go poking around the front of someone's house so I thought i'd give it a miss till next time. I might have another go next Friday. 2009-02-07T00:00:00Z vwnuts Found Found with Baroki Scout, Gunnie69 & Silver Sovereign.....

Located in a great park, which years ago used to be swamp, but has now been tranformed into a great park area, recently just been finished. For the kids there are swings, slides a skate bowl and a fab flying fox. Also there are bbq and tables and toilets, and loads of grass area to relax on. There's also markets on once a month in the grounds of the seafood cafe next door. Stealth may be needed as this would get pretty busy at times, FTF pin for the one who gets there first, have fun.

A challenging trek to the top of Twin Falls.

This is hard.  Not as hard as the next cache though, even if it is only 4 metres away... Getting a satellite fix is a problem, coords may be out, but it's at the top of the falls. Top of falls behind tree next to big rock in roots. 2009-05-16T00:00:00Z Damo. Found Great fun finding this one. After battling through the bush and more rock hopping including some fun climbing down mini waterfalls on fig roots we arrived at the top of the falls. The water was a bit higher than when the cache was placed so off with the shoes and bare foot to the 'island' where the cache was in hand quite quickly. Surely I can climb down the roots from here! Thanks for the cache! 2009-01-18T00:00:00Z holminator Found FTF - Once again in the Back Creek ravine co-ords go crazy. With help from good mates Herbz I stumbled on this one - sorry Herbz, after getting us there you deserved it. Thanks again Zactyl, can't imagine caching getting much better than this. To get to this cache you will get a few cuts, bruises, aches and pains - believe me its worth it. Be careful getting to this cache after heavy rain. We would have liked to have gone on to "Twin Falls" but we were out of time & body - 4 metres away so close but so far away. We'll be "Back". TNLN. 2009-01-18T00:00:00Z Herbz Found Found on a great day down Back Creek George with the Holminators. We've done a couple of Zactyl's caches down here already so knew what to expect. He's a wicked man that Zactyl - as you'll find out when you venture down here. But don't let this put you off as it's just a sensational place and well worth the aches and pains that will be inflicated upon you. Mr Holminator was on fire today and had his cache-sense well tuned up as he plundered yet again. We all loved Twin Falls and will be back to nail the one at the bottom soon.

A challenging trek to the base of Twin Falls.

This is hard.  You'll need to have a head for heights, and some climbing skills.  Best not to attempt this one on your own.  The coordinates for GZ are probably inaccurate, it's hard to get a satellite fix down there, but the cache is at the base of the falls rather than the top, a mere 4 metres from the previous cache... Base of falls behind tree under rocks. 2009-05-16T00:00:00Z Damo. Found Awesome spot for a cache. I was very tempted to strip off and swim over to this one after the hot journey through the bush but made my way over the rocks instead. Found the hidden cache on the cute little 'island' between the two waterfalls. A challenge to get here but totally worth the trip. Thanks. 2009-02-07T00:00:00Z Herbz Found FTF - woohoo! Thanks to Zactyl for accompanying us on this adventure and for being patient while Mrs Herbz negotiated the more tricky sections in her own time! We'd done Twin Balances a couple of weeks ago, we ran out of time on that day, and so not knowing the way down to the bottom of the falls, we decided to leave this one for another day. Well, that day is today. So we set of with our guide and retraced our steps. Arriving at the top of Twin falls we nearly had a very expensive misshap. Our nice, shiny new Garmin Oregon GPSr somehow detatched itself from my belt while I was hopping over rocks above a small cascade. Bouncing off 2 rocks it plummetted down the watercourse to land splash in the middle of Back Creek some 10m below. Bugger! I thought - no way it's survived that - even if I can find it. Scambling down as quickly as I could, I soon spotted it some distance down the creek sitting at the bottom of a shallow pool. Fishing it out of the creek I couldn't believe it was still working after suffering only a couple of minor case dings - testament to the quality of these units. At the top of Twin Falls we stopped a while to enjoy the scenery, to catch our breath and survey the likely cache location just 4m away (but a long way down). Zactyl was giving nothing away - just a knowing grin of someone who knows things are just about to get worse - much worse! Following the left lip of the falls we found the ravine that leads down to the bottom. Fortunately some kind person had left a rope which made the descent much easier and safer (Zactyl seemed dissapointed - wouldn't be suprised if he sneaks back and removes it later!) The base of these falls are just magnificent - you've gotta get down here. Despite jumpy GPS reception, there is only one place where any sane cacher would hide it. And although I'm not sure that Zactyl is entirely sane, the cache was where it just had to be and the prize was soon plundered. This was a first - being able to TFTC in person to the hider - cool! An unforgettable day - loved it - thanks again Zactyl. 2008-10-20T00:00:00Z zactyl Other 2008-10-04T00:00:00.000Z GA1228 finch bay Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1228 finch bay Geocache Geocache finch bay Gibbo73 Hope Vale Queensland Australia Traditional Small 1 1

Musgrave was established in 1887 as a Telegraph Station. The Station was purchased by Frederick Shepherd in the early 1930's and is still operated by the Shepherd family. A stop off point for fuel and refreshment on the way to/from the Cape. Camping facilities are  also available. You are looking for a small 200 ml sistema, it holds a log book. Delve deep at about eye level. 2009-07-22T00:00:00Z aquilla Not Found Part of the Great Cape York adventure - forgot about this one on the way up, but camped here on the way back so went looking - although some in our party would probably prefer to forget this place. A bug in the ear made for a painful experience, which was finally removed in Cairns a couple of days later. Unfortunately I think this one has been taken. A couple of us hunted high and low and very deep, to come up with nothing. However, due to the fantastic location of this one, and the fact it may not be easily maintained, I would recommend it become a virtual - perhaps answer a question from the adjacent grave site. Make sure you go visit the local Fresh Water crocks out the back as well.

This  cache is located along the old Cobb & Co track between Jowalbinna and Maytown. The track leads to the gold fields of the Palmer River and  it was carved from solid rock by the Chinese miners in the early Gold rush days of the late 1870's. The track has never had a piece of machinery on it during its construction. The markings from their picks are still evident in the rocks they carved away by hand - - you can feel the history as you crawl along this rugged track. Be prepared for a long day, it took us 6 1/2 hours to do the 55 klms - but you will be rewarded with scenery that few will ever experience. The Palmer River Goldfields were opened up in 1872. James Venture Mulligan confirmed that the field had payable gold and a rush of prospectors headed to the Palmer and it became the largest gold rush in Qld. At its height, the Palmer was home to tens of thousands of miners, storekeepers, publicans and assorted missfits and dreamers.  In the 1890's Cooktown, the nearest port and supply centre for the Palmer, boasted a population on 35,000! The Palmer was legendary not only for the hardships endured by the thousands who walked overland to get there, but also the large Chinese population who left their homeland seeking to make their family's fortune. NOTE  To claim this find you must email  us the  number that is on the Permanent Survey Marker at the listed co-ords.  Twenty-thirty meters from the co- ords to the south there is a safe area to park off the track. Also post a photo of your vehicle along the track. Survey marker is located on a small hillock along the track. 2008-08-22T00:00:00Z richlink Other 2008-07-27T00:00:00.000Z GA1190 Captain Billy Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1190 Captain Billy Geocache Geocache Captain Billy richlink Injinoo Queensland Australia Traditional Regular 2 3.5

Looking at the photo from 6 months previous, I did not expect much to be left. It was in similar condition with a pack of soggy tissues and a half eaten stubby cooler. I thought about putting a sheet of paper in as a log sheet but I did not think it would last very long so we ended up writing our names on the side of the container. The container needs to be replaced, or removed as it is in danger of being confused with rubbish. 2009-01-25T00:00:00Z Rogainer Found I was nearby (just 25m away in fact) doing a maintenance visit on my Terrawambella cache (GC), so thought I would have a look for this one while I was there. I found the cache fairly easily, but some critter has chewed both ends of the thin plastic container allowing water to flow through soaking the couple of things inside. See photo. The cache doesn't look like it has been found (by cachers or muggles) since it was placed, but there was no log book or writing implement in the cache?, so I could not record my visit. I didn't have another container with me - In its present state, it is just geo-rubbish and I tossed up whether to remove the whole thing, but decided against it in case somebody else came looking for it. The hill is certainly worth a visit though and I will never miss the opportunity to climb it when I am in the area. 2008-03-17T00:00:00.000Z GA1036 Redlands # 1 Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1036 Redlands # 1 Geocache Geocache Redlands # 1 Happyharries Capalaba West Queensland Australia Traditional Micro 1.5 1.5

Heron Island, a beautiful coral cay off the central Queensland coast.

Heron Island, off the Central Queensland coast, was the destination for Mr and Mrs Bundyrumandcokes 20th wedding anniversary. So, of course, we had to organise a cache there. The wildlife is spectacular, as is the setting. From the cache, you will see stingrays, sharks, and fish galore, all within a few metres. The snorkling is excellent, right off the wall in front of the resort. You will become more used to the constant bird calls, the longer you are there. If you go in the beginning of the year, chances are, you will see either adult turtles laying eggs, or baby turtles emerging from their nests. We were fortunate, we saw both. Reef walking also features highly in the list of activities you should do. If you can do it, fly at least one of the transfers by helicopter from Gladstone airport. It gives you a spectacular view of the surrounding reefs in the area. The cache itself is a virtual. It commemorates an event, not unlike the reason we went to Heron Island. To claim this cache find, you need to go to the indicated coordinates, and note what event happened at this spot, the 2 major players who were involved, and what time and date it happened. Pm me with these details, and if correct, you get the find. This cache involves staying at least overnight at the resort. I dont think day trippers are allowed. But, if your staying one night, its better to stay more. Also of interest is the fact the Tropic of Capricorn passes through the island. If you attempt this cache, enjoy your stay. We did. Look down, its all set in concrete. 2008-02-03T00:00:00.000Z GA0987 Creekside Rest Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0987 Creekside Rest Geocache Geocache Creekside Rest BigAl58 Deception Bay Queensland Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 1

Watch the pine cones 2009-01-24T00:00:00Z richary Found After pondering the pine cones for a while I eventually located the thing, not quite where I epxected which is why it took a while. Made it harder than it needed to be. Good to see like Sydney you have farmers friends and Orb spiders as well. TNLNSL, on the way out a passing local asked if I knew when building was going to start there. Thanks BigAl58 2008-09-26T00:00:00Z If Found I pondered my way across the vacant lot to GZ. There seemed a couple of likely hiding spots over there. While wandering I noticed a few pine cones. Voila a cache :) No sign of townhouses still. The developer will probably go broke first. 2008-08-20T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Found by Sunshine Toledo at 10:20am. It took a few minutes to track it down but it seems to be safe.

Hi people, this is my first cache hide.. hoping all goes well....  Dont want go give too much away... must have shoes, its a lovely location and enjoy.  I dont think I need to give any hints at this stage. In the cache is a geocoin and a set of glass coasters. hmmm..... small cave. 2009-04-24T00:00:00Z penguiny Not Found No joy today. Found what appeared be the cache's hiding spot, but no cache. I did find a plastic snake and the remnants of a Golden Compass toy, but no container or logbook. 2009-04-24T00:00:00Z penguiny Note Cache may have been muggled. No cache container evident, although plastic snake and remnant of a Golden Compass toy were insitu. Just-a-Trilfe's log from January suggests that there was no container back then. I may have complete cache blindness, but this one may need a check by the owner. 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found Well there was no cover over the cave to move and we were only able to find the remains of the cache - unfortunately did not have a replacement but left behind a temporary log with the remains of the container and trades. Thanks for the cache! 2008-11-13T00:00:00Z youngoldfella Found Found at 0800. Nice walk across park. Had a magpie as an escort for a short way. Nature has helped to hide the hmmm.....small cave. Found quickly in the vicinty where GPSr took me. Co Ords are spot on, just requires a little rearranging of natures cover at the moment to reveal the small cave!!!

A visit to Lip Falls in the Back Creek Gorge.

A cache to reward those who manage the descent, but who might be restricted from finding the more challenging caches hidden in the Back Creek Gorge.  The track down is getting better all the time thanks to some wonderful volunteers, there's even steps and a couple of benches!  I managed the walk with a 3 year old, but it's slow going ;) Reception at GZ is terrible, but I think the coords are fairly close.  Check the hint. The cache name could be misleading, the word "below" on this occasion means downstream. Since placement a path has been constructed a metre and a half away from the cache!  So it's even easier to get to now! :D Follow the lip downstream, go past where it ends to rocks at base of straight tree. 2009-05-16T00:00:00Z Damo. Found I was visiting the cache owner nearby so dragged him along (or he dragged me) down into the gorge to find a few caches! GPS reception was abysmal with my Nokia 6110 Navigator actually performing better than my ageing hand held GPSr. Got close to GZ and used the geosense to find it. Knowing zactyl isn't a fan of haystacks helps you to know where to look as well. The gorge is just as beautiful as last time I was down here. Went for a very quick and refreshing (COLD!) SWIM nearby after the long trek down and back from twin falls. 2009-01-18T00:00:00Z holminator Found Introduced to this magnificent area by the Herbz. Hard to make sense of coords at times, sent us back up the escarpment, eventually found cache from hints with some help from muggle friend Jo. We are so fortunate to have areas like this virtually in our backyard. TFTC TNLN 2008-11-30T00:00:00Z Herbz Found Managed to get back down here on Sunday arvo to get this one nailed (it had been bugging us for weeks). This time we managed to get a good GPS fix and with a little help from Zactyl, we got it quite quickly. We were very close last time we were here (and logged a DNF) but we were looking in the wrong place then - too near the falls. The waterfall was excellent today after yestedays' storms. Off to hunt for Denham Falls now. TFTC Zactyl...excellent! 2008-10-18T00:00:00Z Herbz Not Found Co-ords jumping around all over the place on this one, first one side of the creek, then the other. So we forraged around the lip and near the new path, but with no joy. Even with the hint, this one eluded us. We'll be back for another go when we get the clues for "Down the Back". 2008-09-25T00:00:00Z If Found I arrived at the bottom of the steps closely followed by a couple of the locals. My bottom lip was sticking out because I couldn't search for this cache :( Not to worry!! I headed off downstream to find something beyond the cavern. A bit later, a LOT later after that 'simple' 210 metre each way walk, I arrived back at the Lip to find it muggle free :) A sit down on a shady rock to mull over the clues and I soon had the cache in hand. I only had to look there twice to notice it :I So with another cache found in this spectacular area I had another celebratory sit on a rock to take in the scenery and a drink :) 2008-08-16T00:00:00Z TeamAstro Found I'm not politically correct. What's wrong with the Gin's Lip. Drive on the western edge of the Simpson and you will see the Gin's Tit next to Colson's Pinnacle. Pinnacle you say. Well head out to Chamber's Pillar and look at the structure next door. Clear skies and TFTC from TeamAstro. 2008-08-16T00:00:00Z pirate63 Found aaarrgh!

Easy to see, hard to reach...

The Cavern Falls is an easy rockhop downstream from the Lip Falls, and you should be able to spot where the cache is from the top.  If you bought your abseiling gear, you would have no trouble reaching it, others will need to find another way there... Not suitable for younger children.  Sensible and physically adept teens might manage it.  There are some dangerous drops, take care. GPS reception nightmare again, but GZ is out in the middle of the creek so if you get your bearings from the top of the falls, you should be able to find it when you get to the bottom. You gotta go up to get down!<style id="bananastyle" type="text/css">.options-menu _background: #fff; border: #58584e solid 1px; padding: 1px; position: fixed; width: 160px; z-index: 1000000;_.options-menu li _background: #fff url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAcAAAAFCAYAAACJmvbYAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAADFJREFUeNpiVKxfyYAG/gMxI4jBxIAJGKEKwJL/kXQg6/zPBDMCjQYrwGYs3E6AAAMA2mgJU6RwbH8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=) 8px 8px no-repeat; list-style-type: none; padding: 3px 10px 3px 20px;_.options-menu li:hover, ol.actions-menu li:focus _background-color: #bbe9ff; cursor: pointer;_.options-menu li a _text-decoration: none;_span.xpbanana _ cursor: pointer; text-decoration:underline; _ span.xpbanana:hover _ color:black;background-color:#bbe9ff; _</style> Access to the bottom is a few metres back from the falls, and straight up the western cliff.

GPS reception was not good but knowing where it was originally pointed me in the right direction with the hint. Lots of water in the creek and the rock hopping was fun. Thanks for the cache! 2009-01-18T00:00:00Z holminator Found The trick is to get below the falls. Once we were down the cache is true to it co-ords and hints. How beautiful is this place? TNLN TFTC 2008-10-18T00:00:00Z Oz-scotts Found This was an challenging bit caching worth it inspite of th nicks and bruises. Those wait-a-while vines are just the best. 2008-10-18T00:00:00Z Herbz Found Yes, a bit of a challenge this one but well worth the effort. We were going to give it up when we couldn't find a way down. We forgot to bring the hints with us but amazingly our new iPhone worked down there and we were able to download the hint and some logs which gave us the heads-up on the way down. TFTC TNLN 2008-09-25T00:00:00Z If Found After not dropping my jeans, I arrived at the bottom of the steps to meet a couple of the locals also enjoying this spectacular area. It looked like they would be there for a while, so I wandered off to find a cache beyond the cavern. I had an easy rock hop along the rocky creek bed downstream to the falls :) As promised the cache's hiding place was easy to find. Only one problemo. It's down there and I'm up here. That's cruel !! That last 20 metres took me 45 minutes to cover. But boy oh boy was it a fun 20 metres :) I absolutely love this kind of bushwalking. No mindless trudging along a formed trail here. It also helped that there was a cache just over there that HAD to be found. After a climb, dodging the lawyer vines, a slippery descent and much fun rock hopping back up stream (over and under the boulders) I arrived at THE ROCK. From the debris up in the trees I could see clearly how much water must have cascaded through here back in February. It was at least 10 metres deep here !!!! Don't chase these caches if thunderstorms are forecast might be good advice. Sitting high up at GZ, I filled out the pristine logbook and had morning tea while gazing around at the amazing scenery. The falls had a good flow of water over them this morning too. Thanks for the cache. Then there was just the small matter of getting back up to the top of the falls again :) 2008-02-22T00:00:00Z zactyl Note Wow. I knew we'd had a lot of rain, but never would have expected the water to get that high. Probably washed away 10 days after placement. :/ Cache V.1 has been renamed "Beyond The Cavern (and out to Sea)" and V.2 has been placed a little further downstream in a spot that didn't go under, with much heavier rocks on top ;) 2007-12-23T00:00:00.000Z GA0951 Trail of Death Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0951 Trail of Death Geocache Geocache Trail of Death Knightsy Fairfield Queensland Australia Other Micro 2 2

This cache will follow a trail of death and finally rest in peace with me.

The container for this cache is micro in size and contains a unique log book which is ideal for a moveable cache.  No need for a pen.  It will become obvious how to use the log book when you open it. The aim for this moveable cache is to visit notable grave sites in Queensland.  For everyones interest, please leave some details in the online log about the grave near where you left the cache.  For example, how did this person contribute to the local community, or what were they famous for, or has the headstone a story of its own. On finding the cache you will realise it is an attached micro and the baggage will need to travel with the cache so that it remains well hidden from muggles.  When laying the cache to rest, it will be best to leave it in an older part of the cemetery, for which relatives and well wishers have long-gone.  The cache will also look more natural in this area as you will realise.  The final aim for this cache is to return to its starting point having been on a journey of spiritual discovery for several years.

The  cache was originally located 2 metres west of Joseph Bushnell's grave.  He was a poineer and gentleman who managed many grazing properties in the South Burnett & Wide Bay area.  The township of Wondai was once named Bushnell after Joe.  2009-07-05T00:00:00Z totalube Not Found I looked for it today, but no luck! It looked like that someone else might have been here previously. 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z thefourbees Note Cache is now in South Brisbane Cemetery near Thomas Blacket Stephens grave (1819-1877), newspaper proprietor and politician. Portion 10A Grave Number 2. You can park on TJ Doyle Memorial Park Dr and walk the last 120m or drive/ride to parking spot 20m from grave at S27 29.920 E153 01.434. The main gates are off Annerley Road. You can also visit Thomas' son's grave at S27 29.952 E153 01.647 (very close to Annerley Road entrance) and the memorial to the Bogga Road inmates here (S27 29.960 E153 01.497). Thomas Blackett Stephens was born in England in 1819, moved to Sydney, and arrived in Moreton Bay in 1853. He used to pass along Old Cleveland Road when travelling between the Darling Downs, where he bought wool for the mills in England and Ormiston, where he had a wool scour. In 1857 he bought a block of 94 acres at Stones Corner, and by 1859 he had increased this to five blocks and established a wool scour on Ekibin Creek. He later built a fellmongery and tannery for his son at Essie Street. He built his house, 'Cumbooquepa' on Stephens Street in South Brisbane, the site of Somerville House. In 1861 he purchased the Moreton Bay Courier and he remained its proprietor until 1869. In 1859 he became an alderman in the first Brisbane Municipal Council, and in 1862 its second mayor. He served in the Lower House of Queensland Parliament for many years, and also as a minister, and was Colonial Treasurer from 1868. Subsequently, he joined the Legislative Council. He had a variety of other business interests, newspapers, companies and land development. In 1877 he died and was buried at the South Brisbane Cemetery. The Division (later Shire) of Stephens was named after him. 2008-10-18T00:00:00Z thefourbees Found As I approached GZ I was looking at the trees wandering which one was holding the treasure. None of them looked liked they had been severely pruned and the GPSr was leading to the Marconi plot. Ahh now I see what If was referring. Cache was retrieved quickly and I did feel rather guilty as I made a retreat to the car with the cache baggage under my arm. Once home, I realised why a pen was required. Now to find a suitable rsting spot. Thanks Knightsy and Youngoldfella (or is that oldyoungfella). Top cache. 2008-09-14T00:00:00Z If Note The reports of this caches demise are greatly exaggerated. I dropped in to say Hi to Mr Marconi this morning. He has been guarding this cache well. The tree that I placed the cache under has been severely pruned (but it is showing signs of recovery). Nevertheless the cache remains exactly where I left it in April :) 2008-09-06T00:00:00Z OMY130 Not Found Had no luck with this cache either. 2008-08-22T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Not Found Found Mr Marconi's resting place but couldn't locate the cache. 2008-04-17T00:00:00Z If Note The Trail of Death has led to the Balmoral Cemetery in Brisbane. Joseph Cornelius Marconi was born in London in 1876. He was a well known and colourful identity in Brisbane. From about 1910 he made and sold a range of liniments and oils under the "Goanna" brand. Through his skill at marketing he made Goanna Oil famous. He died in 1922 from injuries recieved in a brawl in Elizabeth St in the city. 2008-04-16T00:00:00Z If Found Travelling around Logan today and I noticed this historical little cache was nearby :) It didn't take long to find Hilda's resting place in this tiny little cemetery with only 10 graves. The cache was easily spotted as I had seen it once before on Lamb Island :) But after heading off to another cemetery to drop it off, I realised that I couldn't fill in the log book !! So I have taken the cache home for the night and will place it out there again tomorrow!! Watch for it around the Morningside area :D 2008-02-13T00:00:00Z lat&long junkie Note I found this cache on Sunday morning while at the Island Time event in Moreton Bay, Brisbane. Apparently there were quite a few people watching this one, but I managed to snag it by happening to be looking at the GCA site at the right time. I think that fact was the best part of my find. Anyhow, it's now at the Tygum Pioneer Cemetary at the Grave of Hilda Spann. There's nothing very special about the grave or the person that I could find. If I'd had more time, I may have found a more interesting site. Perhaps the next finder will do a better job. This sure is a fun way to cache. 2008-02-10T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note Well we were beaten to this one this morning by those Lat and Long Junkies! We kind of thought, in our innocence, that we wouldn't have too much competition to grab this moveable, BUT we were oh so wrong! We did manage to spy the cache later in the day wjen we caught up with (and grumbled at) the Lat and Longs. Can't wait for our turn! 2008-02-10T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note Well we were beaten to this one this morning by those Lat and Long Junkies! We kind of thought, in our innocence, that we wouldn't have too much competition to grab this moveable, BUT we were oh so wrong! We did manage to spy the cache later in the day when we caught up with (and grumbled at) the 'Lat and Longs'. Can't wait for our turn! Cheers THENANKS 2008-02-10T00:00:00Z lat&long junkie Found Yep, I got it. Now my grave undertaking is to plot a new resting place. Stay tuned... 2008-02-09T00:00:00Z jabes7 Note The cache has been re-hidden today at the grave site of Thomas Lucas, a ticket of leave convict who was one of the first European settlers on the Southern Moreton Bay Islands. He lived on the Islands from 1853 to 1893, when he passed away. Thomas Lucas lived at Corroboree Point for many years, and also set up as an oyster getter on Karragarra Island. He became a major land owner of Lamb Island in the late 1880s. His grave lies just above the jetty on Lamb Island, the only known grave on the island. The main road on Lamb Island is named for him. 2008-02-08T00:00:00Z jabes7 Found Found this fun cache today. Took me a while to find it, but when I did it gave me a chuckle for quite a while. Will rehide tomorrow. 2008-01-12T00:00:00Z penguiny Note Placed by Penguiny roughly 10m from the gravesite of Ellen Thomson, the only woman to be executed in the state of Queensland. Ellen Thomson became the only woman legally hanged in Queensland. She was sentenced over the murder of her husband, William Thomson, 24 years her senior, after increasingly violent confrontations. She proclaimed her innocence but her young handsome English ex-marine lover, John Harrison, was also convicted for the same crime. They were hanged in Boggo Road jail, Brisbane, and buried in the South Brisbane cemetery at Dutton Park. Ellen, 11 years of age and her sister Mary, 9, arrived in Australia on the 6th of April 1858 on board the ship "Joshua". The ship's manifest lists their widowed mother Mary Lynch as a native of County Cork, Ireland. They would join her sister residing in Goulburn, N.S.W. During the Palmer River gold rush in the early 1870's, Ellen was known to be in Cooktown, widow of William Wood, and struggling to support her children. Arriving in Port Douglas about 1878, Ellen commenced work as housekeeper to William Thomson who had selected a farm on the Mossman River. Ellen and Billy Thomson married in November of 1880 after the birth of a daughter, Helen. By 1886 life was difficult. The marriage was strained, the children sent away. The friendship of Ellen with a young marine deserter on the adjoining "Bonnie Doon" selection caused conflict. That conflict would explode into murder. After being tried in Port Douglas, Ellen Thomson and John Harrison were transferred to Boggo Road Gaol, Brisbane; and on the 13th of June 1887 were executed by hanging. On the eve of execution, Harrison confessed he alone shot and killed William Thomson in self-defence. The admission came too late - the double execution proceeded. On 14 June 1887, the Brisbane Courier newspaper described her as a "pitifully wicked woman" and gave an account of the hanging. The journalist wrote that "in every man's mind was the notion that whether the death penalty be right or not, hanging is a barbarous and a brutal thing". After the executions, so-called phrenological examinations were performed which were claimed to reveal "in the woman combativeness and destructiveness ... both large, the domestic affections ... fairly full, the moral propensities small, and the sexual love amativeness, exceedingly large";. A similar examination was performed on Harrison. The same newspaper reported that "Judging from this, it would seem that the woman was the moving spirit in the plot, and that her passion for Harrison inspired her. She was active cunning and masterful ... Harrison, on the contrary, cared for nothing but himself, and wanted Old Thomson's (the victim's) money far more than he did old Thompson's wife." The name of Ellen Thomson was written into history as the only woman ever hanged in Queensland. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache, Knightsy. It turned out to be interesting learning experience - got to learn a bit of Queensland's history, including the fact that it was the first government in the British Empire to abolish capital punishment. This is what I love about caching - you get to see interesting things and learn stuff that you otherwise wouldn't have seen or learnt if you hadn't gotten up off the couch. [:D] 2008-01-06T00:00:00Z penguiny Found Found by Penguiny and family at 1150hrs. Nice easy find for Penguiny after watching Mrs Penguiny wander around the cemetery for ages, eventually coming up empty-handed. And she calls me a blindy-eye... [:P] Will move on as soon as I can find another gravesite and do some homework. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache - great cache container! 2008-01-05T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Note John Anstead was born in Devon in England in 1826. He arrived in Brisbane in 1858 and settled in the area near Mt Crosby Road. John worked as a timbergetter. He died in 1893. Unfortunately his grave was wrecked so the cache is wresting with one of the family members. The coordinates are to one of the families graves to get you on the right track. Good luck on the journey. 2007-12-29T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Found Well this one would have to be the best hiding cache I have found to date. It was a little tricky to find but once I clicked to what I might be looking for found it easily. I will send it on it merry way in the next couple of days.

All buccaneers desire to travel the world and plunder and pillage where they can. Shifty is no exception, traveling with his treasure and its guardian gator. Shifty doesn’t like to stay in the one place for too long, in case the authorities catch up with him. He always craves the smell of the sea. Help him on his way, and record his adventures so that sea farers and landlubbers alike can marvel at his exploits. 2009-07-29T00:00:00Z Alchemy2 Not Found Beautiful park here for picnic, jogging, cycling, greeting and meeting. Shame couldnt find it. Checked previous.. ah no wonder why. Love to come back for lesiure. Thanks 2009-03-02T00:00:00Z mastamak Found Found Shifty Buccaneer but it appears that Shifty's bilge pump has malfunctioned and the ships hull has filled with water. I will repair damage (dry out contents) and return Shifty on his way very shortly. 2008-08-15T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found Took a walk through the wetlands area this morning and picked up the guy. 2008-08-15T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note I haven't moved him far. Still in the wetlands but in another picturesque spot. I took out the TBs to get them logged on the GC site. 2008-07-27T00:00:00Z zenelf Found found and moved to this beautiful new parkland in easy distance of a lake so hopefully safe from other pirates still has tarantula and strawberry shortcake TB`s TFTC TNLN SL 2008-07-04T00:00:00Z Smeeagain Note Shifty has moved closer to the sea, doing duty on the Bayside. Easy find, beware the small jump!! Couldn't get it closer to the sea than this, or he would have been the "high tide" marker. 2008-06-27T00:00:00Z Smeeagain Found Have collected "Shifty" and will move it on over the weekend for further stories to be collected. 2008-06-27T00:00:00Z claeton Found found with Smeeagain who is moving it tn sl tftc in strawberry shortcake and tarantula tb`s 2008-06-23T00:00:00Z If Note Shifty is anchored in prime pirate territory. Very close to the Beenleigh Rum Distillery. A tricky spot to get to without a long walk, unless you know the area well. 2008-06-22T00:00:00Z If Found Aaargh! Where's that Buccaneer ? He's shifting again. I rescued him from the hoards of screaming muggle pirates that had boarded the playground and overrun it today !! That purple croc's still after him too. 2008-04-20T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Note This Shifty Buccaneer has moved near to Little Pirates Playground to keep an eye on the up and coming pirates. 2008-03-29T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found Aargh! A good pirate never forgets where a treasure trove is to be found so we went straight to the booty to move shifty along. 2008-02-26T00:00:00Z d.d.dudes Note A fine spot for a shifty buccaneer and island but first ye must find all ye pirate clues.....aaaargh 2008-02-25T00:00:00Z d.d.dudes Found He has done his guard on the mountain top time to move 2008-01-27T00:00:00Z 4MC Note Shifty has been moved to greater heights and warmer waters on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland Australia.

Shifty has been picked up and is heading north to warmer waters. 2007-12-24T00:00:00Z Pteranodon Note Went to Sydney to hang glide and popped this guy into a local cache while we were there. What a great day flying and catching up with old friends. Hopefully this moving cache can find some more seabreezes which were in existence as he was placed in the Geocaching.com cache <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=10a267a9-3e5c-44c9-ba33-e0c3173cc0f9" Eyrie />Eyrie <img src="http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/d5d0c75a-f6e8-4ed0-90a5-1617648f904d.jpg" /> 2007-12-16T00:00:00Z Pteranodon Found Found this guy down by the river, but if it's seabreezes he wants, I think we can do better. 2007-12-16T00:00:00Z Bushfire Note Now there are some shifty things going on here as the very shifty Spindoc Bob grabbed this little guy and in a shifty move piggy backed him onto Icthyophobia out in the same area. Great spot near a lake out in the hills of Anakie north of Geelong. Bushfire moved a GCA movable cache to Penrith where it sat for three months and nobody went near it so on my next trip I grabbed it and returned it back to its owner, I am glad this guy is doing better. Bushfire in another shifty move moved the Shifty Buccaneer down by the river in Highton where the equally shifty Pteranodon in a shifty mood grabbed this Shifty cache and has taken him down to the sea where I hope he will be happy for a few days. He needs a little maintenance to his hard drive but otherwise he is happy. 2007-12-14T00:00:00Z Bushfire Found Found this guy out at Anakie sitting on top of Icthyophobia and taking him back to the river at Highton. 2007-12-13T00:00:00Z The Spindoctors Note Dropped off close to a fresh water body north Geelong on top of Icthyophobia (GC177F9) cache. Grrr! I long for the taste of the seabreeze. 2007-12-06T00:00:00Z The Spindoctors Found This guy is heading south of the border to plunder the Mexicans. 2007-12-01T00:00:00Z tronador Note Moved to a little known valley beside a lovely river. 2007-12-01T00:00:00Z Altaire Found Well perhaps we're not piratical, however we were certainly water orientated today. After spending the majority of this rather dull grey day on the nearby Woronora picking up a bunch of other caches we located this one late in the day. Nice park, however it was much nicer further up the river and away from the crowds. Although this late in the day there weren't many other people about. We didn't move it on as that task has been left to Spindoc with whom we located this hidey hole. 2007-11-25T00:00:00Z tronador Found Woo hoo! Another FTF. Arrived at the All Rogues Day event and discovered that this cache had not been found or moved yet. So off I traipsed not too far from the festivities to find that it still lay untouched by pirate hands. Have taken this and will find a new location worthy of a Shifty Buccaneer. No swaps. Stay tuned for a new location soon! 2007-10-31T00:00:00.000Z GA0917 Portside Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0917 Portside Geocache Geocache Portside Sunshine Toledo Colmslie Queensland Australia Virtual Other 1 1

The Dawn Princess entered service in 1997. I had a lovely time looking around and I had a rather expensive coffee and delicious cheesecake...just so I could enjoy how the "other half" lives. A lovely escape from reality - thanks Sunshine Toledo! - svn07 2008-08-03T00:00:00Z If Found On my way to the airport at lunchtime today and a great opportunity for a photo stop was waiting at Portside. The world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship "Doulos" is in town for a couple of weeks. Launched on August 22nd, 1914, the Doulos has been a frieghter, transported immigrants, a cruise liner and now a floating library operated by a non profit organisation. Travelling the world on humanitarian and educational missions. The ship has its own website 'http://www.mvdoulos.org/' and is open for tours whilst in Brisbane. 2007-11-09T00:00:00Z jabes7 Found Went to Portside today at 11am after looking up the Cruise Ship timetable, and sure enough there was a HUGE ship there. You just don't realise how big they are til you're standing right there. Don't know if I'd like to be on one out in a cyclone or something... So am I FTP (first to photograph)? 2007-10-25T00:00:00.000Z GA0913 Outback Rainforest Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0913 Outback Rainforest Geocache Geocache Outback Rainforest 4009428 Mungallala Queensland Australia Traditional Regular 1 2

A prehistoric rainforest.

This is one of a series of hides in and around the gateway to the outback. This hide is at the remnants of a prehistoric 'gondwana'-type rainforest.  The cache is a camoflaged PVC container - Be careful - This part of the world is home to some deadly snakes.  When you find it, poke around it with a stick, just to be sure its safe. There are a few treasures in the hide, trinkets, toys etc. Good luck and happy hunting. at the base of a tall tree, in Ooline Park. 2009-08-22T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Not Found DNF for us today (Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty); not where we looked. We stopped by the road first and walked in and searched with no luck; then drove in with commodore and caravan along the track to the park and searched again but still no luck. There are signs of lots of searching in the area as the ground was turned over in parts. 2009-08-09T00:00:00Z dorrigo codgers Found this one required skill.searched for two hrs on the 7/8/20.no luck,went back on the 9/8/02,widened the search,put the g.p.s away and used my brain and bush skills.found it. 2009-06-05T00:00:00Z Avagomob Not Found We were determined to find all 7 of the Mitchell GCA caches and this was our last. After coming up empty handed yesterday we dropped in on our way to Quilpie today. There is a tall tree at GZ but no matter how we widened the search we still had no luck. 2008-07-02T00:00:00Z eatthepeach Found Wow, a nice little park, kind of out of the way/yet right next to the highway. Their is a track around the park, (on the high side) with markers to identify the prehistoric trees. Only a short walk (maybe 100m in total). The cache was well camouflaged, and I walked past it twice. Logged in, thanks for the Spa Pass. Eatthepeach. 2008-06-01T00:00:00Z homedg Not Found No luck for us with this one today :(.

Mungallala Stock Route - Amboola

This is one of a series of hides in and around the gateway to the outback. Hiding near a picturesque dam and bore on one of the country's oldest stockest routes is a camouflaged PVC cannister.  The road is accessible to cars and caravans (if you drive slowly!) and turn at the Amboola sign. There should be some yabbies in the dam - a piece of meat/vegetable on a string might help you land one or two.  And keep your eye out for turtles swimming around. Be careful - This part of the world is home to some deadly snakes.  When you find it, poke around it with a stick, just to be sure its safe. There are a couple of little toys, a souvenir keyring etc. Happy hunting. in the bushes west of the dam 2009-08-22T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 12:10pm. We drove the Commodore and caravan all the way to the dam; the car bottomed out once but we got there. We stayed and had lunch and saw the goanna that was guarding the cache. We had to hunt him off to get the cache but it was easily found. 2009-08-06T00:00:00Z dorrigo codgers Found got to the railway,then spotted the track to the dam.another good ones for us new chums. 2009-06-04T00:00:00Z Avagomob Found The track into the dam was a little slippery after recent rain on the way in. Geowife was not impressed when we needed the front hubs in on the way out. Took Spa voucher. TFTC 2009-04-09T00:00:00Z qldwarrior Found Great to see a dam full (almost) of water.

Near Mitchell, Qld

This is one of a series of hides in and around the gateway to the outback. Hiding near a scenic fishing hole, near Mitchell, Qld is a 100mm diameter PVC container.  The hide isn't too far from a track, but be careful - This part of the world is home to some deadly snakes.  When you find it, poke around it with a stick, just to be sure its safe. I managed to get a few treasures from the local council for the hide, including (for the first person to find it) a family pass to the Mitchell Spa (a great place to relax and unwind). Good luck and happy hunting. inside a tree stump 2009-08-22T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 1:10pm.

The town of Banana is on a crossroads and is a good spot to stretch the legs. Nearby facilities include public toilets, picnic area, fuel, takeaway,  caravan park. In order to claim this find, post a photo with your gps and the "Banana". Alternatively, if you don't have a camera, send me an email with the name of who donated the Banana..  This was going to be a traditional cache, but went to the caching bag and no containers left :-( , so will leave it as a virtual for now. 2009-07-13T00:00:00Z daBuzzard Found My first ever GCA cache and my first ever virtual.

Descend into Back Creek Gorge, then rockhop along the creek to the base of Denham Falls.

After warming up on "<a href="http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0701">Don't Drop Your Jeans</a>" continue along the track to the creek, don't follow the arrow yet but note where it's pointing, as this will help narrow down the search area if you have no reception at the bottom. The walk down the hill is fairly easy, my 3 year old managed fine (though needed a bit of a carry on the way back up) but once you reach the bottom there's a small climb to get past Lip Falls followed by extensive rockhopping which might be a bit of a challenge for younger folk. After finding the cache and retracing your steps continue a short way downstream before you head back up the hill, and you will see the Cavern Falls. GPS reception was woeful, but it's in a likely spot.  The hint is a walkthrough. Opposite cliff climbing fig, past fallen tree, to the right up stone steps, base of tree with large fallen trunk resting against it. 2008-11-30T00:00:00Z Herbz Found Finally bagged this one today after we ran out of time to do it on our last trip. A few tricky bits to negotiate as the water was a up after yesterday's storm, but we managed OK. Fantastic spot and all the better for knowing it doesn't get visited that often:- muggles, what muggles? We were hoping to go back downstream to try for "AoE Down the Back" and Zactly's two newest caches but we just ran outa time. It's suprising how long it takes to get up here. We'll be back soon.... TFTC Zactyl - one to remember. 2008-09-25T00:00:00Z If Found After a few hours bouncing over the rocks and through the jungle down here, this was the last (or maybe second last) cache to find :) The rockhopping upstream is so much fun that I could have spent a lot more time down here. But soon enough the falls were arrived at and the search for the cache begin. The 'walkthrough' clues (shouldn't that read 'scramblethrough') made the cache's hidey hole easy to find in the complete absence of any satellites. I spent quite a while having lunch here to the accompaniment of the cascading waterfall. TFTC. 2008-08-16T00:00:00Z TeamAstro Found Unbelievable. The best spot I have been to for ages. Worth the trip for the GCA baby. Check the video on GEOTalk. This is one of the caches I refer too in the promo. Clear skies from TeamAstro. 2008-08-16T00:00:00Z Cannibal Smurf Found WOW, these falls are really nice.. and better yet I didn't see another person the whole time excluding my fellow cachers zactyl and TeamAstro. Well, we missed the FTF on Gin's Lip and XoE but looks like the pirate ran out of steam and couldn't make it this far upstream.... shame, he missed out on a great view of the falls. Thanks for the cache zactyl 2007-11-06T00:00:00Z mastamak Found Should have read the details a little better. Terrain is ok for kids to get down to the water but is a lot more difficult when you have to rock hop. Nonetheless we made it to the falls and found the cache. 2007-10-26T00:00:00Z Damo. Found A thunderstorm was approaching as I found Don't Drop Your Jeans but headed off down the Gorge to find this one anyway. Spent about 20 minutes sheltering at the Lip Falls while it rained quite heavily but it then cleared and I then got a good workout rock hopping the rest of the way. Some tricky spots but nothing overly difficult. Good soled shoes recommended. Made it to the waterfall and finally found the cache. Very poor GPS reception near GZ. Hint was needed and zactyl has made it a bit more descriptive now which should be easier. Pretty amazing walk up the Gorge to a spot that very few people would have visited. Thanks for the cache and taking me there zactyl. And another *FTF* as well! :) 2007-09-21T00:00:00.000Z GA0701 Don't Drop Your Jeans Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0701 Don't Drop Your Jeans Geocache Geocache Don't Drop Your Jeans zactyl Beechmont Queensland Australia Traditional Small 1.5 2

Short bush walk with a view.

This cache will take you through the Scenic Nature Reserve past a lookout where you can see Denham Falls, the first of 7 waterfalls along the Back Creek Gorge.  My 3 year old managed the walk all the way down to the creek (though not all the way back up!) but keep them close at the lookout. Doncaster Drive and the Denham Reserve at S 28° 06.798 E 153° 11.462 should set you on the right path. The lookout is unfenced and a long way down, so the cache is a bit further along the track. Continue down to the creek for the "<a href="http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0880">Denham Falls</a>" cache, don't be tempted to blindly follow the arrow from here! In hollow at base of tree. 2009-01-18T00:00:00Z holminator Found Found with good friends Herbz & Jo at the start of a sensational day in Back Creek gorge. TNLN TFTC 2008-10-18T00:00:00Z Oz-scotts Found Easy find which is a bit tease when compared to the rest of the day. Major earsplitting moment when a spider decided to drop in on caching companion. 2008-10-18T00:00:00Z Herbz Found Found with Oz-Scotts. We had fun with this one. Not least with the spider that landed on Mrs Herbz as we were signing the log. if you were in the general area you probably heard the scream! TFTC. TLLN 2008-09-25T00:00:00Z If Found I had noticed this little cluster of GCA caches on a visit to Binna Burra a few months ago and wondered why there were so many in one small area. I vowed to investigate a bit closer one day. Today turned out to be the day :) Not having read the cache notes I drove around looking for a likely starting gate. It took a bit of racing around the interestingly named streets, but eventually I found the very unnoticable entry to the area. A bit of pottering around and I found a track disappearing toward GZ. Wonderful area !! And what a view from the lookout !! I loved the lack of a fence, it is so rare these days. Fences just encourage idiots to climb over them. With the photos taken and the cache found, I set off everdownwards into the abyss below. It is so nice to find these hidden areas thanks to a cache. 2008-08-16T00:00:00Z TeamAstro Found At the top of our evil trek, zactyl pointed this cache out. Well, he gave me his eTrex and I followed the arrow to the obvious hidey hole. Cobwebs over the hole - typical of a GCA hide [:D] Thanx and the spot is very cache worthy. Clear skies from TeamAstro. 2008-08-16T00:00:00Z Cannibal Smurf Found Found today with TeamAstro and zactyl for company. On our way to XoE - Rock and a Hard Place. No sign of anyone here today... surely we'll get a FTF on the XoE.... Thanks for the cache zactyl 2007-11-04T00:00:00Z mastamak Found Easy find on the way to Denham Falls. 2007-10-26T00:00:00Z Damo.

Flat-Top Island Geocache

Flat-Top island is located a few kilometres off Mackay. Before the harbour was built, the island was an important port - large boats would anchor here and offload their cargo onto smaller boats which could then enter the Pioneer river. The fishing surrounding the island is very good. Be aware that the currents around the island can be quite strong; Mackay  has a tidal range of almost seven metres. The geocache is placed at the highest out-crop on the island. After landing on the island, follow the track up to the old lighthouse (Please do not try to enter the lighthouse - it's getting very old). Find the highest point on the island - a rocky outcrop. You get a great view of the sun setting over Mackay from 2007-05-04T00:00:00.000Z GA0742 Cliff View Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0742 Cliff View Geocache Geocache Cliff View Osluxa Kangaroo Point Queensland Australia Traditional Micro 2 2

Great view

This cache location has fabulous views of  Brisbane river, Kangaroo Pt cliffs and the Storey bridge also a great garden. A playground for the geokids is about 75m north of GZ. A perfect picnic spot   Take your first step 2009-08-19T00:00:00Z Jabiru230 Found Lunch time is probably not the time to do this one. Muggles sitting around eating their lunch. I took the opportunity to grab the cache and took it away to sign the log. By the time I got back there were more muggles hanging around. Thought I might have to take it back to work but patience paid off in the end. Thanks for the cache. 2009-03-21T00:00:00Z totalube Found This was a nice find, a great place to stop in a shady spot. The cache was easily located, but it was full of water. I poured out the water and cleaned it up. The log was ok, I replaced the water sharpened the pencil, and dried it the best I could. TFTC 2009-01-22T00:00:00Z petan Found Was impressed with the alterations to the container and how well it fitted into its hidey hole. A great spot to stop and enjoy the view over the river.

TFTC 2008-10-16T00:00:00Z geofillans Found found with GhostGums after a DNF further down the river... was sticking out of it's hidey-hole a little & the log was a bit wet, but a nice spot to stop by and have lunch... nice camo by the way :) TFTC 2008-10-01T00:00:00Z agap2 Found Nice camo, log book slightly damp. great spot too. 2008-09-14T00:00:00Z thefourbees Found We set out from the green bridge for a sunday morning cycle and this cache was our destination. Fortunately bee3 had his eyes open and the cache was spotted. Everything was a bit damp so we sat to enjoy the view while the paper and bag dried out. TFTC 2008-07-24T00:00:00Z roundcircle Found 2nd of 5 finds on a wet Brisbane evening. I found this very quickly, but it took me a minute or two to satisfy myself that this was actually the cache. The container was well done. TFTC. 2008-06-06T00:00:00Z If Found I've been meaning to stop and look at the views and find this cache for a while. Today I did. It took a few minutes and a lot of staring, but I eventually had cache views too :) TFTC. 2008-06-05T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found A easy find even with a muggle enjoying the view. 2008-05-17T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found An easy find on a pleasant day in the city.

Took a scratchie and left a coin, scratchie lost :( TFTC Nice views from here! 2008-04-10T00:00:00Z womblywoo Not Found Looked and looked but couldn't find anything, a perfect hidey hole but no cache. 2008-03-24T00:00:00Z Map Monkey Not Found Searched for some time, using the clue yields a hidey hole, yet no cache. Surely a maintenance visit or note wouldn't go astray with this cache? mm 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z SUBYDAZZ Note Dang, went to a huge effort to find this massive multi but now has been changed to a traditional and had it's name changed too! I would have archived the original cache (for posterity) and created a new listing with the same co-ords as the one that's here :) Ah well, at least this great location is still with a cache. 2007-12-02T00:00:00Z SUBYDAZZ Note As noted in previous find log, could do with some maintenance / weatherproofing. 2007-12-02T00:00:00Z SUBYDAZZ Found 9:06am Yay, FTF! And didn't it take some preparation? :) Sorry to say that the cache needs maintenance urgently as the container is not nearly weatherproof enough, and combined with the contents had made a bit of a flavoured mess. Tried to dry it out as best I could with the limited time I had. Had to use some stealth and timing to avoid muggles here too. Great hide and camo too. Well worth the drive and revives :) Thanks for the great multi-cache.

Travel to the beautiful Etty Bay and take a stroll along the beach, just past the northern rocks.  Generally quiet spot to visit and great for rock climbing (bouldering).  Enjoy. Easier to access on a low tide, however there is a walking track also. Look for the fallen rock and you will be close by. 2008-06-29T00:00:00Z terrortorian Found Great bay and a lovley walk to the cache. Started on the wrong side and when we moved to the correct one we had the cache quickly. 2008-02-24T00:00:00Z macandrita Found Found this one without the clue while chasing another in the area.

Had the kids today so took the appropriate swaps. T: Lizard and Green Fridge Magnet L: Nothing..sorry Forgot to take my Stash of goodies TFTC SL 2007-11-10T00:00:00Z Ballbag&Bumblebee Found This one was our last cache for today as Ballbag&Bumblebee were both starting to get tired, hungry and smelly. Cache was found at 1620hours. There were muggles all over the rocks, so we waited a few moments before Bumblebee climbed up and collected the cache. The previous logs were correct in that there have been many 'accidental' finds. Took nothing but left a plastic raptor dinosaur. Again we had to wait till the coast was clear and the muggles weren't looking. It was a nice day at the beach today. The stinger net has been put out so will have to go back for a swim at some stage. Thanks for the cache. B&B 2007-10-05T00:00:00Z dandent Found well while I might be the 2nd to log a find, I am about the tenth signature in the logbook. This cache has been discovered by many, who have respected the cache and its contents, some even adding stuff to the cache's loot. nice to see ... Anyway back to the cache ... did I make it easy on my self ... NO as per the cache's name found myself climbing all over the place ... needlessly to say ... and just as I was about to throw the towel in ... 'What about having a look over there, while we are here' !!! ... as is always the case. TN left a little plastic crocodile ... I heard that they too sometimes like the waters around here :) cheers thought I might have been able to sneek in an FTF, that was until I caught up with Yarrum earlier in the day when he told me he had done it months ago ... grrrr ... should have asked him for some clues too ... 2007-06-28T00:00:00Z Yarrum Found Beautiful Beach and a wonderfully sunny winter's day. We first visited this beach to do the Itty Bitty Etty cache on 7 May 2007 and didn't realise that this cache was here, until we got back home that night. So we came back with overseas visitors the next school holidays to show them the beach and visit this cache. We got a bit eaten by mosquitoes while signing the log. Cache was safe. I'm catching up on doing my logs for the last few months, but I think by memory that we were the FTF. SL. Took bouncy ball, Left Toy Fridge magnet.

Something too do while waiting for the barge

To log this cache you need to email me the number on the survey marker at the given co ordinates, and to log a photo of yourself and your GPS at Ground Zero. Please do not include this number in your logs only in an email to me. The survey marker is very small you are level with it when you are first in line. 2008-12-01T00:00:00Z If Note I was out and about on the bay today. But before I could head on up the hill to visit one of my favourite bakeries, there was a small matter of logging this cache :P In such a beautiful spot on a beautiful morning I spent an awfully long time staring at the concrete footpath and bitumen road trying to spot this invisible little survey mark :I But spot it I did eventually. I'm just glad I was there between ferries so no one asked what I had been doing for the last 10 minutes ;) I wandered off a ways to grab the obligitary photo. "Say Geocache" :D But who needs ferries when you have a kayak :D TFTC. 2008-10-01T00:00:00Z angermanagement Found Out on a trip to Straddie today with HappyHarries and Ksix.

This was the 3rd cache of the day. Didn't time this one too well, as there was a rather huge line up of cars etc waiting to board the "Big Red Cat" heading back to the mainland as we arrived at GZ. But that is the beauty of having a lot of geokids with you when you go caching as they have the ability to make you invisible to muggles !!!

Follow and create the adventures of Gordo the Magnificent!

This is a movable epic story cache, telling the tale of Gordo the Magnificent. Each cache finder adds three (3) sentences to the story, then moves the cache on to a new location. The cache was started with several sheets of lined paper. When one gets full (or a couple, whatever), please contact us to arrange to post the sheet back so we can type up the story to preserve it. Alternatively, you can type up the section yourself and email it. This way (hopefully) if the cache meets a demise, it can be restarted without too much trouble. Other notes... try to keep the story "on track". Variety is good (eg. new characters and adventures), but it might be frustrating if there are lots of "Meanwhile, on an orbiting spacestation..." complete and unrelated changes of plot. In its starting location, there are lots of nearby places to sit, think and create. If you don't want to move it, no worries, but you must add to the story!!! (And you'll NEED YOUR OWN PEN to do this) The cache is equipped with a magnetic point if it's useful to later hiders. Happy Hunting! 2009-02-12T00:00:00Z Wonder Wits Found Nabbed the Epic today. 2009-02-06T00:00:00Z The olly's Found Thought I would grab this and move up to the Sunshine coast, hopefully someone will pick it up.

Note We've had a good chat to Gordo, listened to his tales tall and true so far and sent him on his way. He was last seen in a very busy area, so try not to get run over or knocked down by pedestrians as you search. 2008-07-31T00:00:00Z K8'n'Co. Found Came across "the Epic" while searching for another cache. I didn't know what it was, but curiosity got the better of me. Now that I know I shall put pen to paper and relocate ASAP. 2008-07-03T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note Finally remembered to take this one out of my backpack when I was in a position to place it. There is another geocache very close to it. 2008-05-29T00:00:00Z If Not Found I was strolling through the park this morning and noticed there was a cache hereabouts. A quick look revealled none. Now I read the logs a bit closer, it seems that The Travelling Epic is hanging out with the Crew153 still !! Will Gordo the Magnificent be continuing his journey ? Stay tuned ! 2008-05-29T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note Oops!! Thanks for the memory jog If!. I had forgotten that it was in the bottom of my backpack. I will get it back out there as soon as possible. 2007-11-13T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found I was walking past to find another cache and it appeared on the GPS. Couldn't resist looking to see if was there and bingo, I got lucky. 2007-10-30T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note I hope someone finds the cache again soon to extend the story further. 2007-10-26T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Have this cache, will write my piece and re-locate soon. 2007-03-26T00:00:00Z cebidae Found Gordo is coming with me.

A movie mystery cache...

Ripley's Cache (note - above coordinates will give you an idea of the Brisbane area the cache is in - it is not the cache location!) This is a movie puzzle cache with coordinates derived from the script of the 1986 film Aliens directed by James Cameron. Watch the film (preferably the Special Edition) and keep an ear out for the numbers in the dialogue given below, do the maths and find the cache! Long time fans may be able to do the clues from memory. Note: Aliens is rated M and contains "horror";, and although I saw it in early high school and was instantly addicted, it might not be entirely kid friendly - you have been warned! S27o Clue1.Clue2' E152o Clue3.Clue4' Clue 1: "Bishop, how much time?"; When Ripley brings the injured Hicks back to the drop ship, how much time does he say? -- divide this number by 2, then add: "How long after we're declared overdue can we expect a rescue?"; How long does Hicks reply? Clue 2: "How long was I out there?"; How long was Ripley in hypersleep? -- take this number, then add: "This area is going to be a cloud of vapour the size of Nebraska."; -- the number of minutes Bishop says before this happens, then take away: How many humans and humanoids make it off-planet at the end? After you have this number, stick a zero in front of it, and you've got your coordinate. Clue 3: "How many drops is this for you, Lieutenant?"; -- take the number of Gorman's simulated drops, then add: ("How many combat drops?"; -- the number of combat drops, multiplied by: "Lieutenant, what do those pulse rifles fire?"; -- the size of the standard light armour piercing rounds.) Note for this clue - do the multiplication first, then add the simulated drop number. Clue 4: "We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!"; -- the number contained in the planet's name, minus "I'm shocked. Was it an older model?"; - the model number of the android with Ripley during the events in Alien. (the first part, leave off the "A2";). Extra info for finding the cache... Go to GZ at the highest altitude (just imagine you're standing on a large reactor...), then descend to the next level (while pretending to be a marine, or humming "Attention: emergency, all personnel must evacuate immediately...). The cache is "a foot";. Oh... and this is muggle central too - stealth required. Look under your feet. 2009-04-03T00:00:00Z totalube Not Found Hmm! I am pretty sure I was in the right place, but I couldn't find the cache anywhere. Maybe a check would be good. 2008-11-29T00:00:00Z thefourbees Not Found After entering the provided co-ordinates I sat back in my seat to watch the in flight entertainment and derive the final set. Several hours later the final co-ordinates were entered and a new course set. As we slowly descended into the landing area the place looked deserted bar a few empty antiquated 20th century forms of transport. We descended down the vertical transporter and began our search for any signs of the cache. Unfortunately it was no-where to be found. I guess we'll have to wait for the sequel. Thanks for the puzzle and hunt. 2008-05-02T00:00:00Z If Found It was time to awaken Ripley and her cache from hypersleep after a long hiatus [:)] Entering the ship I wandered up through an access chamber and into what looked like a vast storage area. It was completely empty though save for a couple of robots cleaning the deck. Moving over to another access I had readings all over my motion detector, er, GPS. They were coming out of the walls :O Ooh! Looky, a cache :) TFTC, a very good themed urban cache chase. 2007-12-30T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Not Found DNF today and it also might not be there as I had quite a good look. Being holiday time, there were very few muggles around. It may be worth checking as it hasn't been found for months. 2007-06-02T00:00:00Z cebidae Found Woo, *FTF*. I had this one solved only a couple of days after it came out, but I guess I was too lazy to grab it until now. TFTC. 2007-02-04T00:00:00.000Z GA0682 Shiver me Timbers!

A cache for swapping Pieces of Eight!

This cache is a pirate's treasure! Located in a lovely park, with a nice bit of woodland, playground, BBQs and a dog off-leash area. The cache is intended for exchange of foreign (or otherwise interesting) coins - please bring coins to swap; not much else will fit, or just come to sign the ship's log. You need to bring your own pen for the log too. Arrggh!! Cache has been started with these pieces: 20p (UK), 1 peso (Argentina), 25 & 100 pesatas (Spain), 20 centimes (France), 2 Koruna (Czech), 10 hellers (Czech Rep. & Slovakia), 1 & 2 crowns (Slovakia) and 1 yen (Japan). ****New Information (added 15/5/07):  Previous comments indicate it is a difficult find, and suggested more direction, so here it is:  There is heavy tree cover in the area, so coords should put you near a rail over the waterway.  Turn your back to the water - the cache is located in the large tree a few metres in front of you.  See the hint for a further clue. The cache should be on the right hand side of the large tree, at ground level. 2009-06-14T00:00:00Z gdw69 Found The logbook is a little damp.

Lo, it was still there, but the lid has rusted shut. We'll take some remedial action, and rehide it soon. 2008-06-30T00:00:00Z If Not Found Popped into this lovely little park this morning. There was plenty of activity nearby, but at the tree was only me. After 20minutes of scratching around I found nary a shiver of a cache in the timbers. 2008-01-22T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Not Found Searched all the nooks and crannies but came up empty handed. Plenty of small black ants around. I might need someone to hold my hand to find this one. 2008-01-02T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:25pm. This time it didn't elude me but was not easy to extract; nor was it easy to get the lid off. But all was well and the cache is dry. TNLNSL TFTC 2007-11-18T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note After the recent DNF, we took a stop off this morning to check. Cache is still there.

It was not listed as "not yet found" any more on the site - but there is no log entry. If someone else has found it before, please remove my claim. Found with the help of a hint from Kelvinator - which confirmed that I had been searching in the right spot, but narrowed down the search area. In: Fiji 10 cents Out: 25 PTAS TFTC! 2007-04-17T00:00:00Z lochb Not Found Hoped to find my first ever FTF - but didn't find either - spent quite a while looking in every possible location ... :-( Lady with a camera walked passed, apparently took photos of what's described in the hint, lingered for a while and disappeared. A fellow geocacher? What about another hint? 2007-04-14T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note As a few people have tried and come up empty - be aware - check the clue. The area has heavy tree cover and getting a GPS reading under there was hard. The coordinates will take you to a spot a few metres away - read the clue to take you from there. 2007-03-28T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note Checked on the cache at 6:30 this evening. It's still there. Maybe we should put the difficulty up a bit. 2007-03-26T00:00:00Z cebidae Not Found Sorry, but I couldn't find this today either. 2007-03-12T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note We haven't moved it - it should still be there. We will double check it hasn't met grief from "Clean up Australia Day" and let you know... 2007-03-11T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Not Found Went looking for this today but had not realised that it was taken away. No wonder I had no chance of finding it. 2007-01-28T00:00:00.000Z GA0676 Reservoir Dog (Brisbane) Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0676 Reservoir Dog (Brisbane) Geocache Geocache Reservoir Dog (Brisbane) Kelvinator78 Indooroopilly Queensland Australia Traditional Small 1 2.5

Our first cache hide. It's in a dog "off leash" area, so take Fido for a walk if you like. A little known vantage point to rival Mt Coot-tha. Check out the view from S27 29.808 E152 57.570. The area is very accessible, but a little scramble might be needed to get to Ground Zero. Thongs not recommended. :) If you're looking for parking, try S27 29.662 E152 57.431. Rock and Roll. 2009-05-13T00:00:00Z Alchemy2 Found Found it at last after searching for 20 good mins. Almost give up but found it finally. the cache is rotten, log book is very wet and items are off. I dont have any thing to replace back to as new cache. need maintenance. 2008-10-29T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Accompanied with patox for the day. Yeah found it at 11.50am. Lovely view as well. No swap SL. Thanks for organising the cache and hunt. 2008-10-29T00:00:00Z patox Found We found it thanks 2008-09-09T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note Unfortunately we've recently relocated to the other side of town and might not be able to get back to check on the cache any time soon. Give us a couple of weeks and we'll do our best to check on it. 2008-09-07T00:00:00Z SKYWALKERS Note We could not find it but found something that looked it may have been the cache but had been vandalised - might need to check it out. 2008-08-17T00:00:00Z Critter Found Found this with no prob, took the beads and left the crocodile 2008-08-13T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Found Great spot for some excercise, geotot really enjoyed chasing all the puppies. TNLN TFTC 2008-07-04T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found Slipped and slid a bit as the tread on the shoes is getting a bit smooth. Catch was in the first place that I looked. Loved the "aged" look that the cache has now. 2008-06-06T00:00:00Z If Found Out for a ride on the bike today. How could I not detour up the hill to find this cache ? The hill isn't so bad if you know where the tunnel runs under the Centenary Highway and follow the not so steep suburban street up the hill. Riding up Russell Road is for those who are a couple of spokes short of a bike wheel :o After taking in the fabulous city views on a sunny day, I found the cache tucked away in it's hidey hole. The contents remain nice and dry. The outside has taken on a lovely rusty patina with age. TFTC and ride back down the dreaded hill :) 2007-10-24T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Found by Sunshine Toledo at 5:06pm. It took a few minutes to track this cache down. Great views from the top here. TNLNSL TFTC 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z penguiny Note Dropped in to pick up Vincent the Bunny TB and to move him on. 2007-08-11T00:00:00Z penguiny Found Nice easy find in a place that I never knew existed. Dropped of 'Vincent the Bunny' TB. TNSL. 2007-05-12T00:00:00Z lochb Found Found it with Di&Bev. TFTC 2007-03-10T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found Loved the view. Cheers from the Posspet Boys. 2007-02-02T00:00:00Z cebidae Found Good to find an geocaching.com.au cache! TNLNSL. 2007-01-29T00:00:00Z Osluxa Found Sure it was a little out of my usual hunting area but when this cache popped up I grabbed the boys, the car keys and took off on the chase for a FTF. ... No time to admire view ... must find cache ... The moment had arrived #1 Son found it at 10.30 am. We pried open the unusual cache container and flipped open the log book ......YEH! or very first FTF....(high five). I must say the trade items looked very appealing but we took nothing a FTF was enough for us We left a small plastic native Australian bird figurine. Nice view - yet another of those unknown places that caching lead you to.

The 71st Cache by caughtatwork is a moveable cache and can only be found on Geocaching Australia.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="50%"><a href="http://www.geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0628"><img border="0" alt="On the Move - Keepings Off" src="http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/mctracker/mctracker.php?wpt=ga0628" height="50" width="200" align="left"></a></td> <td width="50%"><img src="http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/ga0628/scoreboard.php" align="right" width="200" height="50"></td> </tr> </table> On the Move - Keepings Off is a 450ml sistema container painted to (hopefully) match the surroundings it is rehidden in and contains a small number of swaps as well as a log book, mini pen and some red stickers. The red stickers should be used to mark the place where you found the cache. This will hopefully assist the next finder as if they can't find the cache but spot a round red sticker, they know the cache has been moved on. Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, run away, make your log and rehide it in your own side of town. When you move the cache, please log your movement at <a href="http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/ga0628">Keepings Off</a>. These entries will automatically update the scoreboard. The longer your team keep the ball on your side of town, the higher your teams score so it is important to rehide and log the cache as soon as possible after finding it. Please feel free to log this cache up to 10 times as long as you are having fun finding and rehiding it. Of course, you should wait until someone else has hidden it before you can log it as a find again. There are some simple guidelines: <ol> <li>When you grab the cache please rehide it again the same day or at the latest within 24 hours.</li> <li>Log your find here as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved.</li> <li>When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box. This allows the software to automatically update the new location. Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes. Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them.</li> <li>Please keep this cache in Queensland and try to keep it within the general boundaries of Southside, Northside and Bayside.</li> <li>Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed.</li> </ol> Of course the best fun about one of these caches is that you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Feel free to be as obvious as you need to be in order to claim it. Then run away as fast as you can. Enjoy. <img src="http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/movingladder.php?wpt=GA0628"> Close to the piece of concrete 2008-11-15T00:00:00Z thefourbees Note From this spot you can either watch cricket or rugby depending on the time of the year. 1450m from the north side of the river. 2008-11-09T00:00:00Z thefourbees Found Kick it to me, kick it to me, kick it to me. Time to move this somewhere else on the south side but maybe a little closer to the dark side. Red dot left. 2008-09-19T00:00:00Z Smeeagain Found Keepings Off has been relocated, sorry about the delay, but things happen. An easy find, Good Luck Keepings Off. 2008-09-12T00:00:00Z Smeeagain Found Grabbed this with Claeton on a Friday caching day, will move it on the weekend for more adventures on the Southside. 2008-09-12T00:00:00Z claeton Found Discovered with Smeeagain who is moving it woo hoo GO SOUTHSIDE TFTC TNLN SL 2008-08-17T00:00:00Z Everlasting Note Nice place - Keepings Off from electric approx 10 mts away. See Photos. Thanks. 2008-08-13T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Will move to another area tomorrow. 2008-07-08T00:00:00Z If Note On the Move is hiding again. Still on the South side, but with a view of the North side. The peaceful spot on this side provides a great contrast with the noisy, smelly traffic visible just 450 metres away on t'other side :o 2008-07-07T00:00:00Z If Found It seems the Northside has lost interest in this little cache. Maybe it just needs moving a little closer to try to tempt one of them to cross the creek ;) 2008-01-11T00:00:00Z penguiny Note Back in the South at last! 2008-01-10T00:00:00Z penguiny Found Found by Penguiny after considering that there may be a fourth option... Went back to Brookfield and decided to look everywhere but the listed coordinates. Came up with the goods at 1145hrs. Back on the Southside, and will be placed tomorrow morning. TNLNSL. 2008-01-07T00:00:00Z penguiny Note Well... I guess I know where I'm heading after work on Wednesday [:(] 2008-01-07T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Note After another DNF and a huge amount of rain I figured I better head down and check out the cache and sure enough, BAD news everyone... It's still there. 2007-12-23T00:00:00Z penguiny Not Found No joy, even after a call to the 1800 PANTSMAN help line, and extensive use of my poking stick. I suspect that one of three things has happened: 1) Jinga, Sunshine Toledo and I have developed bizarre type of blindness that makes it impossible to see caches. According to my wife this could be a further development of the blindness that doesn't let me see that there are dishes that need doing, or the one that means I can never find my socks or car keys; 2) Pantsman has decided to challenge Hawmorfords for the title of most diabolically hidden cache in Brisbane; or 3) The cache is MIA. Possibly KIA, maybe by the VC, KLF, PLO or IRA. In which case VIP Pantsman should launch a SAR mission ASAP. I really do have NFI sometimes... 2007-11-29T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Note Went and looked a week ego to see if it has been destroyed as there has been no attempts at it stake for a while but it is still there safe and sound. 2007-11-28T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Not Found Jinga and I (Sunshine Toledo) spent over 30 minutes looking for this cache today 28.11.07 but to no avail. I wouldn't be surprised if it is gone. It might be worth checking by the last cacher to have it as it hasn't been found for several months and the area it was hidden in isn't too difficult to search. 2007-08-21T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Note Found it under the stealth of a rainy night it's now back in the hands of the northside TNLN 2007-08-20T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Found Sorry forgot to add that I found it b4 I moved it 2007-08-19T00:00:00Z Madam_Muck Not Found We'll after searching the area we came up empty. Even GeoHound came up empty after searching the bush at break neck speed. Was within a meter of the cache, but nothing could be found. One thing did come though, as GeoHound found the water and had a ball. 2007-08-12T00:00:00Z penguiny Note Back on the best side of the river - a little west, but back in the South. Hopefully, the dead cow on the way has been removed. 2007-08-11T00:00:00Z penguiny Found Easy find after a short walk in the park. 2007-07-12T00:00:00Z Urdera Note how come the days on the north side don't change? 2007-07-12T00:00:00Z caughtatwork Note The scoreboard only updates if a cacher who moves the cache updates their move at http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/ga0628/ I've done an update for all the missing moves and the Northside are now catching up. 2007-07-08T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note Still on the Northside, but a bit closer to the south. 2007-07-07T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Found Found it on a trip to the Sunshine Coast. Will hide it again tomorrow, still on the Northside. TNLNSL. Thanks. 2007-05-19T00:00:00Z Urdera Note Great spot for the kids to have a play and I still like trees. 2007-05-18T00:00:00Z Urdera Found Have been keeping my eye out for correct coordinates to come up and quickly rescued this poor cache on the wrong side of the river. After some TLC I will place her out nice and snug deep in the WILD SIDE. 2007-05-16T00:00:00Z Happyharries Note Sorry had some trouble with the co-ords all should be good now 2007-05-12T00:00:00Z cebidae Not Found Rastas and I did not find this cache. The GZ appeared to be in a restaurant, which was a little strange. 2007-03-27T00:00:00Z Happyharries Note Will chech co-ords tomorrow. 2007-03-26T00:00:00Z Urdera Not Found Picked up my son at the airport so I thought I would duck across and pick up the cache but my GPS was putting me in the middle of the resturant so I bought a roast lamb roll and left without the cache. The cordinates I used were: S 27 27.160 E 153 05.997 2007-03-22T00:00:00Z Happyharries Note This is starting to get a little boring! So I nabbed this cache and placed it tantilsing close to the river.Come on northsiders make a game of it come and get me! 2007-03-21T00:00:00Z Happyharries Found Sorry forgot to log that I picked it up. 2007-03-19T00:00:00Z angermanagement Note Went and checked in on the cache to make sure it was still there. Yep it is. I must admit that it took us around 5 minutes to locate the cache even though we knew where it was. If you need a clue please email me or call me on 0403 649 919. (That is if you live on the right side of the river!) 2007-03-18T00:00:00Z THENANKS Not Found THENANKS went on the hunt for our old friend "Keepings Off" today but we couldn't find her. Nor could we see a red dot. We gradually widened the search area but to no avail! Has someone already got her? Or are we cache blind today? 2007-03-03T00:00:00Z wingaap Not Found What a fitting end to a morning out caching. A dnf and not red dot to be seen...so I've missed it. It's not the only dnf this morning...and to top it off I was accosted by security guards and questioned by police, not, I must add at the same cache. To add insult to injury....it's to early to have a drink. I think I might just have a cup of tea and a lie down ;) 2007-03-03T00:00:00Z angermanagement Found After noting that it had gone to the wrong side of the river yesterday I kept a close eye on the listing. So after waking this morning I talked geohubby and kids into a trek to pick this one up. After some scratching at ground level hubby looked up and there it was. Red dot was left but up at the height of the cache which was just above my eye height. (5ft3) Will move this cache on later today when the weather cools down a bit. But at least it is back on the southside. Yippee!!! 2007-03-03T00:00:00Z angermanagement Note Cache replaced out today. Enjoy the location. Bring the kids the kites or the geohound. 2007-03-02T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note 2007-02-27T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note The cache has been "Camped" out for a while..It is now at a "Club"..Public access is allowed. 2007-02-25T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Found Needed all of the Light defenders on the Jeep To venture this far into the dark unknown!...Grabbed the cache and left a Red Dot. Not that a dot is easy to see this far into the unknown.!..Will place and log a new southern aspect tomorrow 2007-02-17T00:00:00Z GeoScrubers Found Couldn't believe it was still in place after a few days - moving it a little further south 2007-02-17T00:00:00Z GeoScrubers Note Camped a little further down the road 2007-02-15T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note From a safe distance!...Haha 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note Waiting Waiting Waiting 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z If Note This won't last long on the North side. Too close to work :) 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Found ha ha ha ha!...Its good being the boss at times..Took an early mark from work and grabbed the cache!... Those damn Mozziess just about carried me away!. 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note Back on the dark side!.. 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note Are the bees guarding it? 2007-02-13T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 2007-02-11T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Found The cache has been in residence here for a few days. Rather than give the "Northies" time to formulate an attack plan the Jeeper has grabbed the cache for placement some where else on the dark side. Mrs Jeep wasnt to impressed when we found a snake (Tiny as it was) within 2 metres of GZ though!. 2007-02-11T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note Cache has moved a bit to the east... 2007-02-08T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Note Bill!! Why didn't you call me!! I'm so sorry. I even double checked the minutes before I posted, but it seems I had the hours wrong. Corrected coordinates below. 2007-02-08T00:00:00Z astroboy1967 Not Found What the! Is it just me or are the co-ords for the middle of the road? Had a bit of a poke around but I was too far off GZ, Hmmmmmmm 2007-02-07T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Found Thanks Crew! Picked this up this morning and will place her again this afternoon. 2007-02-07T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Note 2007-02-05T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note It's back in place. Life springs eternal. 2007-02-04T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found Called in on the way to work at 2pm. Muggles sitting at a picnic table 10 metres from the cache. Didn't have a clue that I was there. Will have to find another spot tomorrow. Short on transport so it may have to be an easy one. 2007-02-03T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Note This ups the stakes a bit being half way between most of the south siders and the north siders! Astroboy, its up to you! 2007-02-03T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Found Quick easy grab on the way past this afternoon...Will place it in a few hours 2007-02-03T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note Cache has been placed again... Note!. Vehicle access restricted between 7Pm and 6Am 2007-02-02T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Found Picked this up this afternoon on a lovely after rain, bush land walk with Mr Nosugref. Will place her again probably tomorrow. 2007-02-02T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Not Found OK..Didnt find it late this afternoon... But it seems i was beated to it... 2007-02-02T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found Found with Mrs Dosphoenix - she will place it on the 'right' side tomorrow. 2007-01-30T00:00:00Z If Note It's astounding; Time is fleeting; Madness takes its toll. But listen closely... Not for very much longer. Southside's got to keep control 2007-01-30T00:00:00Z Rogainer Note Its just a jump to the north... 2007-01-30T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note Kick it to me - Kick it to me - Kick it to me - 2007-01-30T00:00:00Z Happyharries Note Well ozzie I did give it a bit of a kick but more into the type of area that Roainger thrives on. Happy Hunting. 2007-01-29T00:00:00Z astroboy1967 Note I'm out of my head Oh hurry, or I may be dead They mustn't carry out their evil deeds 2007-01-29T00:00:00Z Happyharries Found Picked up this little one to keep him safe during the night. 2007-01-29T00:00:00Z madmyers Note Well the MadMyers girls braved the heat to sneak on out and place Keeping off into a new little hidey hole. A nice patch of quiet bushland for it to sit and contemplate how living on the southerly side of town is sooooooooooooooo much better and brighter in fact!!! Oh and we gave it a bit of training whilst we had it - if anyone from the wrong side of town tries to grab it - well let's just say you have been warned!!!! It will now retaliate! 2007-01-28T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note Moved after a long delay and a weekend at the coast. Go for it , particularly you southeners. 2007-01-28T00:00:00Z madmyers Found Ha too good to be true - watching, watching, saw it - grabbed it!! Was too close to home to not grab it! Will send it on its way again really soon - not this afternoon though we are heading into that other side of town geocaching and there is NO WAY it's getting left over there!! Maybe on the way home when we are back in the right side of town we will drop it off somewhere hmmmm...... 2007-01-28T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note In the velvet darkness of the blackest night Burning bright, there's a guiding star No matter what or who you are. 2007-01-28T00:00:00Z If Note Dammit Janet, I'm going to grab this cache soon :) 2007-01-27T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note It's astounding, time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely, not for very much longer I've got to keep control 2007-01-27T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note We have been very south and thought we would place it there. Then we had a thought that we may never get it back in our area again if we did that, so it came back with us and will be placed tonoight. Sorry ,we have had no computer until now. Cheers The Nanks 2007-01-27T00:00:00Z If Note I await with anticip.................................................................ation :P 2007-01-27T00:00:00Z astroboy1967 Note You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation.... 2007-01-26T00:00:00Z If Note So,,, where's it hidden. The clock is ticking :) Dem northsiders are catching up :O 2007-01-25T00:00:00Z If Not Found Hmmm, a new tactic for keeping this cache on the northside eh ? Bury it :) Might have to come back with a metal detector to find this one after on hour of searching today :o 2007-01-25T00:00:00Z THENANKS Found Sorry If, I found it at 2 pm today. Yes, it was buried and I left the container in case Sunshine was going to place a cache there at another date. I did leave a red dot on the tree but it didn't look like it was going to stay on. The good news is that Sunshine T doesn't have all the moveables like he thought and the other bit is that its headed back home. Cheers The Nanks 2007-01-23T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note The cache has been set. This is a very fragile area and even moreso in these drought conditions. The trees are in drought-arrest and have dropped most leaves and they have shed their bark also so the ground is littered. As a result you should get a very good GPS reading. Treat the area carefully and you will come up with the goods. And I felt so sorry for the Darksiders that I didn't take it to Nambour as the crying was too much for me- my soft heart. 2007-01-22T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found If, I wondered why any cachers from the Darkside weren't picking up the cache either. Unfortunately HM has not been the best so I have been confined to barracks for several days. But this afternoon I hit the toe and stumbled on "Keepings Off" after an hour, in another cache. It was a difficult cache to find (Thanks to the Nanks) and will not be put into another cache until the morning as I don't have time to get it out there tonight. There was plenty of evidence that many people have been out there looking as the grass and area has been well walked over. I think about the same distance north as it was south is about Nambour. I'll look into a suitable site in the morning. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's on the Northside again. Red spot in place. Got the trio!!!!!!!!! Yeh!!!! 2007-01-21T00:00:00Z If Note Come on Northsiders. I need an excuse for a bike ride on the weirder side of town :) 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note Keeping Off has been given a resting place with a nice breeze, and a bit of a view. So much nicer here away from all that roadworks. 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z THENANKS Found Found the little fella in a great part of Brissy. I love the water. Stay tuned for an immediate placement. (1/2 hour). I'm not sure but I may have seen Sunshine T as I was leaving the carpark at Wellington Pt? 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note Just noticed that Wingaap didn't sign the log book. What sort of penalty does that incurr? 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Note Did You place a RED DOT for SunshineT to see? 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note Yes we did put a dot there for him! O.K. she's been placed. She's hiding in a very CLEVER spot! Good luck and GO TEAM US!!!! 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note Yes, MrNanks You beat me by a few minutes but we are on the case. We are always out there somewhere. There was a red dot. Well done. I did though pick up Mr Black and Govt Grey this am.. 2007-01-18T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Not Found Sorry team, couldn't find it this morning. 2007-01-18T00:00:00Z wingaap Note Came by this way this morning. There are major road works happening in the immediate area. If you're planning on heading over this way...you'll need to park down the road (there is a pull off area near the bridge) and cut across the park. It's all well mown and it's a great park for the geokids. Happy hunting 2007-01-18T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Found Fear NOT Fellow Dark-siders....The Trusty Jeep made it through the road works and the cache is heading South. Will log the new co-ords when it is nice and Comfy again 2007-01-17T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note Wingy, I hope you used the same GPSr as you used to hide HQ then no-one will find it. 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z wingaap Note Watching...and waiting....and waiting..... 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z Happyharries Note After spending the morning tangled in christmas lights.I finally had a chance to rehide this little succer while out making a quick dash for some much needed sustance.It's now located at S 27 32.008 E 153 09.270 Go you southsiders. 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note This should update the cache page. I hope.. EDIT.. Thats better . Looks like it's near If's favourite pie truck. 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z wingaap Found It was a quiet afternoon at work. Sitting there I began to piece together a plan which, with any luck, would result in obtaining the prized cache. So it was from this that "Operation Snaffle" came to light. For the plan to succeed I'd need a will partner in crime....enter Ms Clip_Clop. The team was assembled....now to study the quarry. It came to light that agent Astro aka Pierce aka 007.375 had gone deep undercover to retrieve the prized cache. Researching agent Astro it soon became apparent that he wouldnt stray far from his sidekick Astrogirl aka Marta Terri. I managed to melt away undetected and in the privacy of a phone booth slipped into my prized Secret Squirrel outfit. Now I could blend in with those from the darkside and avoid detection. Sitting in one of their golden arch gourmet eateries eagerly awaited the call that would launch me into the mission. I didnt have to wait all that long. Clip_Clop called me on my shoe phone. She'd intercepted a encoded msg from Agent Pierce. The game was afoot....and so was I ..on foot that is. I passed the local airport, noting as I passed that some of this darkside people must be very small...I put it down to the absence of light. I began operating in full stealth mode...creeping from tree to tree. At last...the planning...the preparation and the agonising wait were all worth while. The prized cache was mine!! Now I must battle my way through enemy line to get the cache safely back to the northside. Stay tuned...next coded msg before 2130 End transmission 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z wingaap Note Cache is now in place and ready to find. Happy Hunting 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z astroboy1967 Found I was in a holding pattern close-by, got the call, fired up the jet-boots and wooshka. Co-ords had me 20m north into the property, but an educated guess revealed the hidey hole. 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z astroboy1967 Note COME N' GET IT! Hidden in the usual spot, n.b.gates close at 7pm and open at 6am. Otherwise there will be an extra .5km wander! 2007-01-15T00:00:00Z THENANKS Found Yes I got it you LAZY,LAZY ,LAZY Southsiders. I thought I would see if it was still there just before 1 pm (12.58 to be exact). Luckily for us it was. You should all be ashamed of your efforts and I am looking for an improvement. Now lets all have deep breath and get ready for a placement tonight. Cheers Mr Nanks 2007-01-15T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note Righto gentlepeople, start your engines. S 27 37 488 E 153 14 769 Its in our letterbox and we are watching. Ready Set GO !!!

Nabbed it just in time after trailing Dosphoenix through the Mt Cotton estate.Unfortunatley for Brit I knew the exact position of the letter box and made the claim just in time.Will look for a suitable placement tomorrow. 2007-01-14T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found Thanks Russelz, I really needed a 50m bushbash DOWN the side of Mt. Gravatt. Found the easier way back up though. Cache is now a bit further south. 2007-01-14T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note Not sure that I need a Moved it log as well but here it is... The coordinates from the Found it log seem to have updated the cache coordinates. 2007-01-13T00:00:00Z ozzie-jeeper Not Found That explains why i couldnt find it yesturday afternoon....Gosh, ya gotta be quick! 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Note Keepings Off is in its new home - have fun southsiders. 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Found Found it and moved it! 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Note She's been moved not far away from where she was. You can drive right up to her. 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found Let's see where we can move it to now!!! 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note In the bushes again. 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Note Boy, that was quick. We were only about 2 k's away. Good on ya astroboy! 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z astroboy1967 Found HOWZAT! Got 'im!, Crew was still in the vicinity when I arrived, possibly to fend off any Northsiders perhaps? Hiding asap... 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z astroboy1967 Note Cache Placed! Have fun with this one! >heh heh heh< Oh no!!!! sorry guys, I marked this log as "found" have corrected, damn my cybernetic brain! 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found Oooops we forgot to log as well Fehrgo. Check out the photo, it's beautiful isn't it? 2007-01-11T00:00:00Z madmyers Note It's out there - go for it! The Madmyers took a jigsaw puzzle and left a fish eraser... oh and our new funky calling card. Come on those of you who live on the right side of town go and get this cache!! 2007-01-10T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note I was in Capalaba this afternoon retrieving the ill fated "Bayside Bash Stash". I took our friend "Keepings Off" for the drive. I placed him in an easy grabbing spot in case it's dark by the time another south sider gets to it! Don't forget the sticker. GO SOUTHIES! 2007-01-10T00:00:00Z madmyers Found Ha Ha - Was watching this one - saw that those Nanks had dropped him off so the MadMyers girls and geohounds were out the door!!!! Snatched that cache!!! We are out hiding caches tomorrow so he will be dropped off somewhere else on the brighter/lighter/greater/better side of town!!! 2007-01-10T00:00:00Z madmyers Note Oh dear - geohusband came home and we all excitedly announced that we had On the Move - Keepings off and where we found it. Too which he gets the light bulb moment!! You see on his way home he spotted some recognisable characters near a path and wondered to himself what on earth were they doing!!! AND that looks like a GPS in that hand there! Well .... if they were some southsiders ... sorry guys beat you to it - we did put the sticker up to show we had it!!! If they were northsiders sneaking over this way to nab it .... too slow!!! It will be out there again tomorrow!! 2007-01-09T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note We placed our little friend in a nice stump on the way into waypoint 2 of Bush Basho. We hope to see it again soon. Have fun chasing it. The Nanks 2007-01-09T00:00:00Z fehrgo Note It is amazing how hard a stump can be to find at night in the bush. I moved the cache further down the trail; it now has the cane toad army guarding it. Beware my minions! 2007-01-09T00:00:00Z fehrgo Found Oops, forgot to log the find. 2007-01-09T00:00:00Z THENANKS Found After the last ball of the cricket I headed out to find our little mate again. I wasn't too sure that I would get him because it had been about an hour and a half since posting its move. Anyway, after taking what I thought was the wrong way in and doing a U-turn , hearing spooky noises , I decided a 285 m bush bash was the best option.My light died after 25 minutes of searching but the cache was located. What a dirty little hide Eric. On the way out I found that the path I started to go in on was the correct one , but whats new. Sleep tight everybody ,we will place it tomorrow. 2007-01-08T00:00:00Z THENANKS Found Found the little blighter at 10.24pm. Now to take it over the river to see its new home, where it will, hopefully stay a while. Great concept. Thanks to C@W for the cache and to Minimob for placing. Cheers The Nanks 2007-01-07T00:00:00Z The Mini Mob Note We know you all are on the edge of your seats waiting for this one, so here it is. There are great views of the south side from this vantage point! ;) The cache is easily accessible on horizontal ground nearby, so please don't head down the embankment. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z caughtatwork Note Noting the initial set of co-ordinates. The cache will be in action shortly when The Mini Mob return to Brisbane from their holidays in Melbourne. Here's hoping your anticipation levels go through the roof [:)] 2006-12-06T00:00:00.000Z GA0648 REST area at Granite Creek Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0648 REST area at Granite Creek Geocache Geocache REST area at Granite Creek Everlasting Rosedale Queensland Australia Traditional Micro 1 1

The rest area was full of motorhomes, caravans and camper trailers like ours. The cache was easily found, signed and returned. They are great stopping places these rest areas. TFTC 2009-04-19T00:00:00Z Fuddley Found Stopped in this afternoon to grab this cache and a coffee from the Driver Reviver 2009-04-09T00:00:00Z thefourbees Found Exactly where it was supposed to be. On this trip the survice this drive canteen was open and serving tea and coffee so we stopped. I wondered over to GZ and there it was. 3rd time lucky. Beats me how the cache ends up on the ground. A good place to stop on a long drive. TFTC 2009-01-06T00:00:00Z Avagomob Found Found on the ground so replaced it in it's post. Log book damp. Great spot to stop and stretch the legs. 2008-11-25T00:00:00Z youngoldfella Found Found quickly at 0830 exactly where it was supposed to be. TFTC 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z Nastyrangey Found I was questioned by a German Tourist, and he said he had seen people doing caches in German, thats cool. 2008-11-17T00:00:00Z Map Monkey Found A late log of this find. Was absolutely bucketing down today, so a quick stop was in order. Thanks for the chance to stop in here after travelling past so many times. mm 2008-11-12T00:00:00Z Everlasting Note Check up and Yeah it was on ground behind the post. so Put it back on top of post. Happy Hunting. Cheers Danielle aka Everlasting. 2008-10-04T00:00:00Z thefourbees Not Found Stopped again for another look but still nothing. 2008-09-28T00:00:00Z thefourbees Not Found Couldn't locate this cache today. I think the post was obvious but we were in a hurry to avoid a very large wide load we ahd passed earlier - it was as wide as the whole road and had 2 police escorts clearing the road before it. Thanks for the hunt. 2008-06-06T00:00:00Z tigersden Found This one was a little tricky as there were quite a few muggles around. Hubby had to think outside the box to get this one. 2008-03-11T00:00:00Z gerrynewgirl Found Cache is alive and well, easy find in an area that I'd often stopped in for a rest stop, didn't know about caching in those days though! Few muggles about but they were more interested in eating, walking the dog or sitting down to read. Cache was signed and returned without even a glance in that direction. TFTC. 2007-12-28T00:00:00Z Lawman-oz Found Who would know. Great position. I had Muggles drive up within metres of me when I was replacing it. Waited around from a distance after replacing but they had no clue why I was standing there. 2007-09-22T00:00:00Z Bundyrumandcoke Note I was down doing Driver Reviver duty today, so did a check on this cache. It amazes me that it has survived as long as it has. All is well with it. Cheers Bundy 2007-05-02T00:00:00Z jg047 Found Found at 15:20 hrs. Passing by and stopped for a quick break. TFTC.

Found with Fizzer. Lex. 2007-02-26T00:00:00Z Bundyrumandcoke Found Found this easy Everlasting cache on the way down to Brisbane on an unexpected, and sad trip. Nice easy one. Thanks for the cache Danielle. Cheers Bundy 2007-02-24T00:00:00Z Everlasting Note Come and check - found the cache it was on the ground so put it back on top of the post. 2007-01-30T00:00:00Z 3BlindEyes Not Found DNF. Got here when it was dark, about 7:15pm. I had a look in the top of the post but there was no cache in there. Must have been muggled. Some muggles were sitting outside their caravan close by so I didnt look around the area at all, but continued travelling up to Rockhampton. Thanks for the break and the hunt Danielle [:)] 2006-12-23T00:00:00Z dandent Found heading south along the highway ... had to grab it. (since I was going right by it :) ) Whoa ... the reviver stop was in full swing ... managed to snaffle a park nearby then went for a little walk (to stretch the legs) and managed to put my hands on it with no real interest from the crowds massed at the stall handing out free coffee. thanks for the cache Danielle ...

"It's Halloween Day! Hello, hello! Like that!" - Aylee, almost 3.

Easy walk along the beach front. Interesting at night, as the beach is floodlit! There's a carpark and toilets at the roundabout on Seaworld Drive, with an easy _400 metre walk, but you can keep driving past the hotels if you don't want to walk that far ;) You can also walk from the "Fill Up" carpark, but the path isn't paved for that section. Container is a 200ml Sistema, Log Only. Base of tree, hidden by grass. 2009-08-22T00:00:00Z Toy Car Found This is my first real GA cache. I had done the near by GC caches, but missed this one because I hadn't updated TomTom. Decided to do this cache with Jeanette after spending the day at nearby Sea World. 2009-06-26T00:00:00Z Transkeiboy Found It was raining, and as a result the area was deserted which made for an easy find. 2009-05-30T00:00:00Z GhostGums Found Daughter and I wandered off to look for the cache. There were plenty of muggles around, walking and jogging etc. We slid down the embankment and quickly had the cache in hand. Quite a clever hide really. Quick look at the beach and we were off. TFTC. 2008-12-09T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found An easy find. 2008-11-06T00:00:00Z krijgertjes Found Today our morning walk took us along the beach. Nice view. TFTC. 2008-08-18T00:00:00Z WanderingAus Found WanderingAus wandered by on day 102 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find. My find No 816, LCC, TNLNSL. T4TH Zactyl Keith 2008-07-11T00:00:00Z Team O'Grady Not Found Too many muggles to have a decent search but not readily apparent... 2008-05-31T00:00:00Z red tag Found They appear to be laying concrete along the 'firebreak' which makes finding the cache even easier. Our last cache on our holiday and tomorrow we return to Tassie so Hello Hello was a nice one to finish with. Thanks zactyl 2008-05-08T00:00:00Z Miriamwy Found Recent (May2008) work to create firebreak has not interfered ... cache is still ok. 2008-03-12T00:00:00Z JO_V_AL Found 2nd attempt to find this one - last time with Tiger Twosome and they were more interested in going to Maccas for ice cream! This time I bought the trustee treasure seeker Al - he found it. It's our local beach and we love it - also great tailor fishing spot in season. Enjoy! 2008-03-08T00:00:00Z mastamak Found Found it - easy enough to find. Took TB which probably shouldn't have been in a GCA cache. 2007-11-25T00:00:00Z kidzjct Found What a tricky little spot! In: TB Out: Geocoin 2007-11-11T00:00:00Z iluvtrekking Found Found this one in the rain without much trouble. We couldn't find a football cache so we left "Go the Boks" it in a football state! (Go the Cowboys) We didn't realise this was an Aussie cache hope the coin doesn't languish here for too long. Thanx for the hunt. 2007-11-04T00:00:00Z alex Not Found The pickniking family nearby inhibited my search but I managed to check many likely spots without any luck before their suspicious looks convinced me to be on my way. 2007-10-25T00:00:00Z Damo. Found Found it with Sarah and my dog Rami. Sarah actually made the find. Walked back to the carpark along the beach and had a very wet and sandy Dachshund by the time we got there. He was loving running through the water. Thanks for the cache zactyl and aylee. It's almost Hello, Hello! day again. 2007-10-01T00:00:00Z caughtatwork Found Found by caughtatwork at 11:44 A nice car park only a few hundred meters from the cache had me visiting and finding this cache in no time at all. The area is very reminiscent of some of the Plantman cahes further north, so I was very pleased with the hunt area. Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks again zactyl. This is 4 finds on your GCA in this area and I have to admit I enjoyed them all. *Overall Experience: 3* GAFF 1 2007-10-01T00:00:00Z GabGab Found I found this cache today with caughtatwork and the family. It was very nice walking through the trees and the cache was in the 2nd place that caughtatwork checked. Thank you zactyl. 2007-09-06T00:00:00Z knot_gillty Found Came to QLD for a wedding and couldn't pass up the opportunity to do some caching. A nice walk through the park with my 4yr old daughter. An easy enough find on a wet, rainy day. 2007-09-02T00:00:00Z gorbak Found My 5th and final find for the night at around 10:30pm after a nice along the beach. The hint was greatly appreciated. Methinks I never would have found the cache without it! TFTC. 2007-07-15T00:00:00Z Spinmeout Found Second visit, we found it after reading the clue. Geoson found it actually and was quite happy with himself. Signed the Log and placed it back in its spot. Happy Now TFTC 2007-07-10T00:00:00Z Spinmeout Note Found the spot,GPS was spot on, Looks like the council has been marking this area for some reason. Painted crosses on the ground. Did not find Cache,it may have been moved. Will have another look before we leave the area. 2007-04-12T00:00:00Z feathertop Found I found this cache as dry as dry a cache can be while walking nearby with my wife. A few ants in the vicinity. TNLN. 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z zactyl Note Back in Action, replaced with a 200ml Sistema, on the uphill side of the tree this time, hopefully it'll stay dry! 2006-12-21T00:00:00Z zactyl Note It WAS very wet. I guess I messed up the seal gluing all that sand to the container! :D Didn't have the right size replacement, so this one is out of action for the moment. 2006-12-18T00:00:00Z womblywoo Found Found on our way to Fill up (which I failed to find) It was a little damp inside so I tipped out the water, we took some things and left stuff, possibly the Cosmos rocket travel bug (note o self, take notes, did 5 caches in 1 day and am a bit confused 3 days later!) Thanks 2006-11-03T00:00:00Z GIN51E Found After a day out at Australia Zoo I checked my email to find i received one from Zactyl informing me that he had found my Holiday cache and that he had placed a new one nearby, so off i went for a short walk from my hotel room to find a nicely placed cache on the great Main Beach. Thanks Zactyl for letting me know about the cache as i would have kicked myself if i arrived home to find a new cache so close to where i was staying. 2006-10-27T00:00:00.000Z GA0626 Kangaroo Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0626 Kangaroo Geocache Geocache Kangaroo Everlasting Cooktown Queensland Australia Virtual Other 1 1

Natural wonders are rare in most places, but abound around Cooktown. Within just a short drive, you can discover the most beautiful, lush natural settings. Among these are the beaches, of course, but you can also find tropical lagoons, waterfalls, hidden gardens, and magical mountain views. They are isolated lands of their own and allow for a lovely way to relax and have a picnic while you enjoy the scenery! Many world famous anglers come to Cooktown for its amazing fishing, as the Great Barrier Reef and pristine local rivers are inhabited by a wide variety of fish. Among these are Barramundi, Queenfish, Mangrove Jack, and Black Marlin. Sport fishing safaris are available up these rivers as well as out to the reef. Nature's most beautiful and best kept secrets can often be found on a walk. Enjoy these guides and print them out if you like, so you can find your way. Bring water, a picnic lunch, and a camera if you like and get ready to explore the history and natural beauty that Cooktown has to offer. Cooktown has over two centuries of rich history, starting with Captain James Cook's landing in 1770 and then the gold rush in the 1870's. Explore Cooktown's history and culture, not only by walking through town, but also by visiting the museums and monuments of Cooktown. Cooktown is where the tropical rainforest meets the reef. The town is surrounded by some of the largest national parks in Cape York. Exotic animals and plants that can be found nowhere else abound here. Unique natural wonders, such as waterfalls, coral reefs, and lagoons, can often be found with a short trip. Explore these national parks and bask in the beauty of Cooktown's natural surroundings.

Trees now cover the hill, along with the occasional house and this hill is also home to the Cooktown lighthouse and sundial. The lighthouse was built in England and shipped to Cooktown in 1885. It was automated in 1927. Between 1942-1945 it was complemented by a radar station and was subsequently dismantled after World War II. It served the local community and shipping in the area for 100 years until it was made obsolete, and then restored by the Lions Club. Try to visit the lookout to catch a sunset. Getting there is easy - just drive or walk straight up the hill from Hope Street. If you decide to walk rather than drive, bring some water!

Black Mountain (Kalkajaka) National Park

What's special? At the northern end of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, Black Mountain National Park contains an imposing mountain range of massive granite boulders. The wet tropics and drier savanna woodland natural regions meet in this park, making it a refuge for wildlife, many of which are either rare or threatened with extinction. This park's vegetation is unique and only found in the park and Mount Simon area. Wildlife found only here and nearby Trevethan Range and Big Tableland include the scanty frog Cophixalus exiguus, a rainbow skink Carlia scirtetis, and the Black Mountain gecko Nactus galgajuga. Godman's rock-wallaby and the threatened ghost bat also live in this park. Known as "Kalkajaka"; (place of the spear), Black Mountain was an important meeting place for the Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal people and is the source of many Dreaming stories. Exploring Black Mountain Read the signs in the carpark to discover the park's special history and wildlife. Camping is not allowed in this rugged park. Getting there Black Mountain is 25km south of Cooktown and 4km north of Helenvale on the Cooktown Developmental Road.

This cache is hidden in an interesting spot. It has a great view of surrounds and some local and rare historical interest. (Queensland Heritage Listing). Above ground level 2008-11-14T00:00:00Z thefourbees Found Took a bit of searching but the cache was found along with the other 2 dot com caches at the same site. It must look odd to see a pair of legs daggling from beneath the roof line. TFTC 2008-08-30T00:00:00Z totalube Note This cache is present at the coordinates listed as are the 2 Looking Back caches. This was found by the littlest freak, while we were out and about with posthaste, gefscofix and controlfreaks. Won't claim a find as I didn't sign the log, but the cache is there to find. I do think that this cache is too close to Looking Back (both of them [:)]) 2008-06-22T00:00:00Z solmanic Not Found I wonder whether this cache still exists. Found both the GC.com caches here but no sign of "Francis" - and I looked pretty thoroughly. Judging by the logs it was last found in November 2007 so it's been a while. 2008-02-02T00:00:00Z strong-arm Not Found Had a look for this one while finding the other in the same area but was unable to find it. 2008-01-05T00:00:00Z If Found I remember finding this interesting little cache. It was a couple of months ago so I'd better log it finally :) Found in company with TeamRubik. We actually found 3 caches here. Francis and both the original Looking cache and replacement Looking cache. Go figure..... 2007-12-30T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Not Found DNF today. It might be worth a check as it hasn't been found for months. I found the other cache, the GC one but not poor Francis. I had the whole place to myself until a man came and sat near the gravestones. 2007-06-06T00:00:00Z lochb Found Grabbed this one right after finding "Looking back". No muggles this time.

Cheers from the Posspet Boys. 2007-01-28T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Found Yay, found it on our second go. It was dark again, but we had a proper torch. While we were filling out the log, a couple of Muggles came to eat some pizza on a nearby chair. We waited and waited for them to leave, even walked around the park a bit, but eventually we had to bite the bullet and pop it back while they were still there. Hopefully they were disinterested enough that they won't disturb it. P.S. Waypoint GCGT1R at geocaching.com is only a couple of metres from Francis. We got a 2-for-1 special tonight. 2007-01-13T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Not Found Didn't manage to find it, but it was after dark and we didn't have a torch.

Travel time is approximately 4 to 5 hours from Townsville or Cairns via the Gregory Developmental Road or from Ingham via Mt. Fox. It is accessible by conventional vehicle if you don't mind a few hours of rough gravel road, but is more suited to a 4WD. The cache is a plastic cylinder approx. 150mm dia x 250mm long. A 4WD can drive to within 40m of the cache, which is probably necessary if you wish to take the esky with the wine, cheese,nuts etc. to watch the sunset.

Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (Riversleigh/Naracoorte) Inscribed 1994 Further Reading Further information Download information and map Inscribed 1994 The Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (Riversleigh/Naracoorte) World Heritage property was inscribed on the World Heritage List for its outstanding natural universal values: as outstanding examples representing major stages of the earth's evolutionary history; and as outstanding examples representing significant ongoing ecological and biological evolution. Over 2000 kilometres separate the two sites which form the World Heritage property. Riversleigh (10 000 hectares), located in north western Queensland, is confined to the watershed of the Gregory River. The site at Naracoorte, South Australia, covers 300 hectares and is located in flat country, punctuated by a series of stranded coastal dune ridges that run parallel to the present coastline. Riversleigh is one of the world's richest Oligo-Miocene mammal records, linking that period (15-25 million years ago) to the predominantly modern assemblages of the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. The site provides exceptional examples of middle to late Tertiary mammal assemblages, in a continent whose mammalian evolutionary history has been the most isolated and most distinctive in the world. The extensive fossil deposits at Riversleigh are encased in hard, rough limestone, which was formed in lime-rich freshwater pools. They span a record of mammal evolution of at least 20 million years in length, providing the first records for many distinctive groups of living mammals, such as marsupial moles and feather-tailed possums, as well as many other unique and now extinct Australian mammals such as 'marsupial lions'. The variety of deposits at Riversleigh has led to an understanding of how the environment has changed over time from a rich rainforest community to semi-arid grassland, and how the animals that lived in it have changed too. The discovery of the fossils at Riversleigh has profoundly altered the understanding of Australia's mid-Cainozoic vertebrate diversity. The remains of a 15 million-year-old monotreme has provided new information about this highly distinctive group of mammals, and several Tertiary thylacines have been identified. Placental mammals are represented by more than 35 bat species and the Riversleigh fossil bat record is the richest in the world. In stark contrast to the semi-arid conditions at Riversleigh stand the cool caves at Naracoorte. Here are fossils that document a distinctive fauna, with the ancestors of modern species alongside the doomed giants of a world that was about to be devastated by climatic changes. The fossils in the Naracoorte Caves illustrate faunal change spanning several ice ages, highlighting the impacts of both climatic change and humankind on Australia's mammals from at least 350 000 years before the present. Further research at the Naracoorte Caves sites is expected to document a series of snapshots of Pleistocene life in south east Australia, including details of climate and vegetation associated with the fauna. Recent geological research suggests that deposits of Pliocene and even Miocene age could be found at the site, thus providing closer links with the site at Riversleigh. Specimens representing 99 vertebrate species have been discovered, ranging in size from very small frogs to buffalo-sized marsupials. These include exceptionally preserved examples of the Australian Ice Age megafauna, as well as a host of modern species such as the Tasmanian devil, thylacine and others. The Naracoorte fossils span the probable time of the arrival of humans in Australia, and this is valuable in analysing the complex relationships between humans and their environment. Both sites provide evidence separately of key stages in the evolution of the fauna of the world's most isolated continent. The history of mammal lineages in modern Australia can be traced through these fossil deposits and, as a consequence, there is a better understanding of the conservation status of living mammals and their communities. The sites, each highly significant in its own right, are presented as a serial World Heritage nomination. Together they represent the key stages in the development of Australia's mammal fauna. While there are other important Australian fossil mammal sites, Riversleigh and Naracoorte are outstanding for the extreme diversity and the quality of preservation of their fossils. They also provide links through time that unify the biotas of the past with those of today in the Wet Tropics of Queensland, the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves (Australia) and Kakadu National Park World Heritage properties.

We based ourselves at Adels Grove near the Lawn Hill National Park and headed off to this one early in the day to avoid the heat. Got to this amazing area just before 8.00am but it was already 37 degrees and the flies were very friendly. Did the cache while no one was around and then spent about an hour looking at the different rocks and fossils. Then we travelled a further 3 kms south and had a great cool off in the Gregory River by the causeway. Also enjoyed a cup of tea before getting back in the car and tackling the rough road back towards the National park. There is a bush camp near this area as well if anyone is interested in staying overnight. Thanks Everlasting, we had to do this cache especially for you, seeing you had gone to all the trouble of hiding one at this special location. 2006-09-15T00:00:00.000Z GA0561 Cable Park Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0561 Cable Park Geocache Geocache Cable Park zactyl Paradise Waters Queensland Australia Traditional Micro 1 1

An easy micro to show you some little known Australian History.

<H2>Trans-Pacific Undersea Cable</h2> <img src="http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/albums/zactyl-The-Fabric-of-History-3/cableworld.jpg " align=left> "I'll put a girdle round about the earth in forty minutes" - Shakespeare "Cable Park" was so named in memory of the vital role this site played in Australian Communications. In 1902 the Trans-Pacific Undersea Cable was laid linking Australia to America via Fanning Island, New Zealand, Suva and Norfolk Island. The cable terminated in a hut on this site and a land line was then relayed along Cable St across the Nerang River and into the cable station at Bauer St. Southport became the receiving station for all international messages, and played a crucial part in overseas communication during both World Wars before ceasing operation in 1962. The total length of the cable was 7,320 nautical miles (13,556 kilometres). Cache has been moved due to muggling, and is now very close to the road and highly exposed (but no longer next to someone's backyard). If you get compromised don't sweat it too much, there's plenty more Berocca tubes where that one came from ;) If you want a really easy find, see the spoiler pic in the gallery. There are velcro dots again, so you can tell if it's not there ;) Be careful rehiding it, and push it all the way in so it doesn't fall out. Under the metal seat, edge closest to the plaque. 2009-06-26T00:00:00Z Transkeiboy Found What a great piece of history, and an easy find. 2009-05-30T00:00:00Z GhostGums Found Visited this one after spending the day at Seaworld. The kids jumped up and read the plaque while my loose hands were looking for the cache. No luck. Waited for the muggles to pass and got down on my hands and knees and bingo. It is quite amazing what was acheived back then, and I think the history of the site is well preserved. Good cache. TFTC 2009-03-22T00:00:00Z petan Found This was the first time we've visited this particular park, despite living on the Gold Coast for too many years to count. Thanks for giving us an excuse to visit. 2008-08-18T00:00:00Z WanderingAus Found WanderingAus wandered by on day 102 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find.

Took: SA Spoon Left: Nothing TFTC 2008-03-08T00:00:00Z mastamak Found Easy find. Container still seemed to have remnants of the Berocca's. Quite a nice smell to be greeted by when opening the container. 2008-01-16T00:00:00Z bb7282 Found Finally retrieved this one after having to come back a third time because of a scary looking muggle - a guy just sitting in his car watching for hours... Came back next morning & fortunately he had moved on. Interesting piece of history. TNLN TFTC 2007-11-13T00:00:00Z iluvtrekking Found Walked to this one from our hotel, 16k round trip. Introduced some Muggles to geocaching. Thanx for the exercise. TNLN 2007-11-01T00:00:00Z alex Found This was our first for the day as we headed off on the IMTA conference geocaching day. Interesting location. TFTC 2007-10-01T00:00:00Z caughtatwork Found Found by caughtatwork at 11:27 A nice quick find in a park that was interesting, even if only for its size. A great spot to take a break, get out of the car and have a rest while finding the cache. Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks zactyl for yet another great GCA cache for this area. *Overall Experience: 3* GAFF 1 2007-10-01T00:00:00Z GabGab Found I found this cache today with caughtatwork and the family.

Thank you zactyl. 2007-09-06T00:00:00Z knot_gillty Found Came to QLD for a wedding and couldn't pass up the opportunity to do some caching. A quick drive-by here as it was very wet!! An interesting plaque. As it was raining there wasn't anyone around. Easy to retrieve and replace. 2007-09-02T00:00:00Z gorbak Found I was in the company of a couple of first time teencachers for this one, so after a failed attempt to find Comet Spit, it was pleasing to know that this cache would likely provide a safe fallback option. Thanks for bringing us to this piece of history, Zactyl. 2007-08-05T00:00:00Z turdodine Found found easily , knew the history of the cable but had never noticed the park even after 30 years of driving past it , Doh! left $2 coin 2007-07-10T00:00:00Z Spinmeout Found Found this Cache on the first day of our Gold Coast holiday.

TFTC 2007-04-11T00:00:00Z feathertop Found Another one close to where I am holidaying. An early morning find. Thanks zactyl. 2007-02-02T00:00:00Z If Found What a great little spot. Amazing to see how little is left of such an important site in Australia's history. I had a bit of a search around the seat at the waypoints to no avail. Gave one of the other seats a quick look over and voila a cache :) Guess who hasn't updated their cache notes for a couple of months ? TFTC and history. 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z Cruzzzinaround Found Found by the 2nd half of team cruzzzinaround while on holidays 2006-12-21T00:00:00Z zactyl Note Back in action!

Spoiler pic attached. 2006-12-19T00:00:00Z zactyl Note Sounds like it's gone :( Thanks, I'll fix it up shortly. 2006-12-18T00:00:00Z womblywoo Not Found Found some red velcro dots but no cache, has it been moved? Or maybe the neighbours got too curious? 2006-11-05T00:00:00Z GIN51E Found An Early morning cache hunt is always good fun but when a little history is added its even better, Thanks Zactyl 2006-11-03T00:00:00Z solomonfamily Found I am into cables at work.

TFTC! 2008-01-24T00:00:00Z zombywoof1954 Found Found on this our third attempt. Was very muddy - obviously been under about 1 -2 m of water during recent flooding. Contents all dry! Thanks for putting this one back on zactyl! TNLN. 2007-10-14T00:00:00Z Mix Note thanks to the maintenance crew the cache lives on... Cache on. 2007-10-13T00:00:00Z zactyl Note The cache was missing :( Replaced with a slightly larger container in a slightly different spot (still the same coordinates though). Good to go! 2007-10-04T00:00:00Z caughtatwork Not Found No joy at this cache for caughtatwork and GabGab. There was no one around so we had a good opportunity for searching, but even after checking smaller and smaller nooks and crannies, alas, no cache for us. 2007-06-17T00:00:00Z zombywoof1954 Not Found No joy with this one for us. Heaps of people around picnicking which made it difficult. Had a good look but no luck beginning to think it may have been muggled. 2006-09-06T00:00:00Z Cannibal Smurf Found WOW, I haven't been here in years. I used to come out here when I first got my license and chill out away from the rest of the Gold Coast. The park is all fenced off now with coppers logs, it never used to be like that, you could drive right up to the water. Nice park, easy find. TFTC 2006-08-07T00:00:00Z Damo.

I've seen that hiding method before! ;) Nice creek. 2006-07-14T00:00:00Z zactyl Found Lovely spot, easy to get to even in the dark, finding the cache took a bit more time however, I eventually found it at 1am near the first place I looked. ;) Be sure to check out the well maintained NON SMELLY pit toilets!

Welcome to northern most point of the Australian mainland

After taking on the best four wheel driving in Australia I thought it was about time there was a cache at the end to look forward to as well. The cache is placed not far from the tip but far enough away that other tourists should not bother you. To drive there yourself you will need a capable 4X4 with corugation proof suspension and a good fording depth, and or snorkel as we had water wash up the bonnet on a couple of the many crossings on the main road.(be sure to drive the old telegraph track as it was an experience of a lifetime) The other alternative is to book one of the many tour groups that travel to the cape in these massive 4X4 buses, which look like alot of fun. When you do log this cache please include a photo of yourself at the tip and any other spectacular shots you have managed to take along the way. Hope you loved the trip as much as we did and have fun! Last but not least be careful of the local wildlife that include snakes crocs, spiders etc (we saw all of the above) The container is under a few rocks. 2009-07-27T00:00:00Z daBuzzard Found WOOT!! Found it with Wobbly45 while travelling on the 2009 Great Endeavour Rally. T4TC IN: Geocoin UNHDPW IN: TB PC873G OUT: Stubbie Cooler. 2009-07-16T00:00:00Z aquilla Found What an adventure, With the blow up doll in tow, and one blown radiator, we finally made it to the top! Well, as they say, sometimes it is the journey more than the destination, but in this case it was both. TFTC! 2009-07-16T00:00:00Z Tracking About Found What can I say, "Fantastic". The views, just awesome. The adventure we had along the way to get here was unforgetable and we will be doing it again in the future without a doubt. Part of the Great Cape York Adventure 2009. TFTCSL TNLN 2008-07-30T00:00:00Z richlink Found We came all the way from the south coast of WA to reach this point. Travelled the entire Telegraph Line, did Cockatoo, Gunshot and Nolans without a problem. Lots of dust, corrugations and mud - good fun. All this did not prepare us for the gruelling 7 hour trip from Jawalbinna to Maytown along the Old Coach Road. This was a real 4X4 adventure - how long was this road you ask - only 59 klms!! But is was rock the entire 59 klms and at times we had to get out and rebuilt the road as we went. Hard to imagine the old Cobb & Co clattering over this track 130 years ago. By the way it looks like a couple of muggles have found this cache - they wrote their discovering in the log and replaced cache. 2008-07-07T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found Found by half the Posspet Boys on a winter holiday. There were quite a few people up here. Cheers from the Posspet Boys 2007-10-15T00:00:00Z DinahMike Found Our first cache find. We had a great trip to the Cape, and a shaking good time on the developmental road! The cache is exactly on the coordinates and easy enough to find.

Good leg stretch area for anyone zipping up or down the Highway

Bring the kids bring the picnic basket and most of all bring some bread to feed the Ducks. The kids will love this area plenty of room to run around or feed the ducks swings and toilets are available near by. This is a micro cache so no swaps and bring a writing tool. The area used to be used as sediment ponds back in the days of mining in Gympie the ponds have been as they are now more or less for over 30 years plus. I can remember coming here and feeding the ducks when i was knee high. Enjoy the area 2009-06-08T00:00:00Z agap2 Found Found it on the way back from the hvb event. Was getting dark, so nearly gave up, then I had inspiration, and found quickly. Thanks powelbruce for the cache. 2009-05-24T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found The cache was found easily but I didn't have a pen with me so had to return to the car. No problem with muggles as it was late in the afternoon. 2009-05-22T00:00:00Z Wonder Wits Found Found quickly after I decided against going where the GPSr wanted to take me.

No doubt we'll be back. 2009-01-27T00:00:00Z mastamak Found Braved the rain this morning - the benefit being that the rain kept the muggles away. Found quickly once at GZ. 2008-12-16T00:00:00Z The olly's Found Nice quick easy find in the morning before to many muggles. TFTC The Olly's 2008-12-06T00:00:00Z Fuddley Found Great spot to take a break, cache quickly in hand with nobody about while we were there.

This area is a favourite place to stop as there is plenty of room and some good facilities. TFTC 2008-09-05T00:00:00Z richlink Found Found on our drive from Gladstone to Noosa. Log was so wet it fell apart when we tried to log our visit on it. Replaced log and put it in a small plastic bag. Also placed some electrical tape over top of container to stop water getting in. Future cachers - Please put log back into plastic bag for protection. 2008-09-02T00:00:00Z youngoldfella Found Found at 1040 this morning. Nice quick easy find. Had to wait for council worker to stop washing the path in the area and move on. The log is again damp but can write in it ok. May I suggest a maintenance vist and because of its hide replacing the log with a waterproof notebook. I think the regular path cleaning by the council is responsible for moisture entering the container. TFTC. 2008-08-13T00:00:00Z Konie Found Nice quick find with thehairbear and holster in tow. Log dried out now and easy to sign. TFTC 2008-08-13T00:00:00Z holster Found Found with Konie and thehairbear. TFTC 2008-08-13T00:00:00Z thehairbear Found Found with Konie and holster.

Rummaged around in the foilage for the cache and found.... A DUCK.... just sitting there on some eggs in the bushes !! So I hatched another plan. Quacked the hiding place open after another 5 minutes of preening some likely hiding places. Very nice spot except that because of the sheer number of ducks, geese, ibis and other assorted water birds... it smells 'orrible. Like a chicken shed :O TFTC. 2006-12-27T00:00:00Z dandent Found ... yep ... pretty much right were me and the girls thought it would be. It was raining and a couple where sheltering from the wet, so we stood around waitting for them to leave. Eventually ! - then grabbed it ... yeh log a bit wet - but usuable. Thanks Bruce - shame we didn't catch up - next time - cheers Dan 2006-12-23T00:00:00Z powellbruce Note Will try and get out to change the log book possibly got wet from the storms we had last weekend. 2006-12-21T00:00:00Z GeoScrubers Found Log book is VERY wet......Found without too much difficulty.

Typical cache hidden beside a hiking track at a popular camping spot.

The hiking track is rather tough. The track raises from 700m to over 1000m in 3k. NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!!! Take the 'Ridge Walk'for about 3.25k Enjoy the walk and forestry, watch for snakes. Once you find the cache you have a very steep downhill walk to get back to camp.(Wear good hiking shoes) Whole hike is 5.8k and takes about 2hours CLUE:- It is about 5m off the track hidden INSIDE a large tree. Grass Trees also abound in this area. 2006-09-11T00:00:00Z onward bound Found Found on september geo-trek in the company of Ruzzelz,Astro Boy, Rogainer, Just a Trifle, Witch Pig, The Nanks, Caspian JVC and Pirate 63.

A great spot to watch the Flying Fox Flyover at dusk!

A nice little park on the river. There's even a playground for the kids! Cache is a small silver painted plastic container a little larger than a matchbox. If there are muggles about, take a seat to admire the river and read the hint! Sit on left end of bench and put your head between your knees! 2009-08-04T00:00:00Z Diggies Found Our First!

Thx zactyl for the cache and showing us this little park. 2009-03-13T00:00:00Z Herbz Found Nice little find while passing on my way to a job. This is the first cache I have done while on the phone to a customer. As I was walking to GZ, the phone went so I answered it and during the conversation (which was very boring) I sat down, found the cache, signed the log, put it back, logged the field note into the GPSr and returned to the car before finishing the call.

Handy having the name of the park in the cache name around here. The streets are very confusing for someone not from around here. A very nice location for a cache and we took the time to check out the views along the river and then for soe fun time on the playground nearby. Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks Zactyl. Our first GCA for our holiday in your fabulously warm state. *Overall Experience: 3* GAFF 1 2007-10-01T00:00:00Z GabGab Found I found this cache with caughtatwork and the family today, then I played on the playground. Thank you zactyl. 2007-09-06T00:00:00Z knot_gillty Found My first QLD cache. Came to QLD for a wedding and couldn't pass up the opportunity to do some caching. Quick find on a wet and windy "Victorian" day. You're supposed to come to the Gold Coast to get away from the cold!! Never mind, was fun nonetheless. 2007-09-02T00:00:00Z gorbak Found After working out how to get there, this wasn't any great drama... although at 9pm or so at night, the bark of the dog in the house nearby had me a little uneasy...

The clues helped and with the experience of Cable cache they were on to it in no time. 2006-10-25T00:00:00Z richary Found The 3 women went shopping, the 3 men went caching. I would call that a win-win situation. Easy find once we got the right side. Then the boys went for a play on the playground. TNLNSL, thanks zactyl. 2006-08-07T00:00:00Z Damo. Found Easily found.

Took Little miss Left Frog 2007-10-21T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found Nice easy find - it was laying out in the open. Hopefully we replaced it where it was meant to be.

Double YAHOO a cache that the HawMorFords have not found!!! Just goes to show you. We sub 50 finders can beat the big players !!! What a great picnic spot. Even though the dam is at a sad low level of <%5 it had rained there only a few days ago so the grass was greener than our front lawn in suburbia Brisbane. We had lunch here. Meet some friends from Boonah and spent at least 2 hours there. This cache has an unusual container! Kids got a little scratched up searching around for the cache but it sure didn't stop them. 3 of 4 for the day... PERSONAL BEST!!!! 2006-07-02T00:00:00Z psychokat Found A nice drive.

The 49th cache hidden by caughtatwork is a moveable cache and can only be found on Geocaching Australia.

<a href="http://www.geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0372"><img border="0" alt="My Moving Cache" src="http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/mctracker/mctracker.php?wpt=ga0372" height="50" width="200"></a> Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, run away, make your log and rehide it in a location that matches the color of the cache container. The log sheet is waterproof to (hopefully) ensure its longevity. Please feel free to log this cache up to 10 times as long as you are having fun finding and rehiding it. Of course, you should wait until someone else has hidden it before you can log it as a find again. There are some simple guidelines: <ol> <li>When you grab the cache please rehide it again the same day or at the latest within 24 hours.</li> <li>Rehide the cache attached to an object the same or similar in color. The further away the merrier.</li> <li>Log your find here as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved.</li> <li>When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box. This allows the software to automatically update the new location. Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes. Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them.</li> <li>Please keep this cache in Australia but feel free to move it interstate if you feel in the mood.</li> <li>Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed.</li> </ol> Of course the best fun about one of these caches is that you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Feel free to be as obvious as you need to be in order to claim it. Then run away as fast as you can. Enjoy. <img src="http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/movingladder.php?wpt=GA0372"> 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z agap2 Found my first find of this one after chasing it for months!!! ... nasty hide too.. had to use a stick to retrieve!! 2009-04-12T00:00:00Z garrone Note We've taken it for a ride but you should be able to find it if you catch the bus. Our fifth find of Grey - it has seen a bit of travel. 2009-04-12T00:00:00Z garrone Found Found old Grey at Queensland Newspapers without too much trouble. 2009-01-27T00:00:00Z Osluxa Note Time to say goodbye - Till we meet again! Ok - Not a government building but a place that uses it's Queensland monopoly to influence decision making policies within the state. In the true spirit of the movable Cache as stated on this page "you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Feel free to be as obvious as you need to be in order to claim it. - Then run away as fast as you can" - before security nabs you!! No seriously - should be a pretty easy find 2009-01-25T00:00:00Z Osluxa Found Hello Govt Grey - Like running into an old friend On holidays in Caloundra. Will be heading south today 2009-01-24T00:00:00Z thefourbees Note After an early morning swim at Mooloolaba, we wandered over to see if government grey was still there. It was. Placed this morning in Caloundra right near a number of local government facilities. If you are looking for info about the area this is a good place to start and if you need more walk a few extra metres to the info centre. 2009-01-23T00:00:00Z thefourbees Found A short saunter over from the skate park an da quick find. 2009-01-08T00:00:00Z The olly's Found grabbed this and signed log again, it was in such a good spot thought I would leave it there for now 2008-12-28T00:00:00Z d.d.dudes Note This was bumped down south to a great beach stretch.....bring ya swimmers!!!! 2008-12-27T00:00:00Z d.d.dudes Found found after a quick run through 2008-12-17T00:00:00Z The olly's Found Nice easy find even with a table full of council workers having lunch nearby, quick snatch and run, will take this up the coast a bit. TFTC clue...$567.500, hidden with branch 2008-12-04T00:00:00Z If Note I was on the move today up Beerburrum way ;) How could I not check up on this little cache when it is attached to a waypoint of a GC multi-cache :P The GG was still there but was providing a home for many little black ants who had filled any empty spaces with eggs :o I took the oportunity to evict the lodgers and GG is back in place in pristine grey condition :) Find number 11 for If :D 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found The paint was coming off the cache, and we wondered how does an owner do maintenance on a moveable cache? Figured we could just put the paint on ourselves. If you need a hint to find the cache, try looking behind Mt Ngungun. 2008-10-06T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found Crikey Geoff this must have been a quick stash - the coords given were 20m away. Just as well you gave a good hint otherwise we may not have found it. It is a great area to visit though. We will post new coordinates soon. 2008-09-26T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found Quick stash. Under chair under pandanus tree. 2008-09-09T00:00:00Z Xixau & Shenzi Found Found with OMY130 2008-09-06T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found Reunited with an old friend. A log with a poem to came thur soon. 2008-08-13T00:00:00Z Everlasting Note New area - very easy and approx 5 mts from road. Good luck. 2008-08-12T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Will move to somewhere very soon. 2008-05-25T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note I delivered Government Grey to its new resting place today. If you pick it up during a week day remember to wave across the road where young CHUNKY MONKEY should be busy learning and Mumma NANKS busy teaching! Happy hunting. THENANKS 2008-05-17T00:00:00Z THENANKS Found I couldn't resist picking up this little guy again. It has been nearly 2 years since Mr NANKS had an incident involving a security guard retrieving Government Grey. Fortunately, I was undisturbed when grabbing it again. I felt pretty sure I knew where it would be as this is our local area! A quick easy find....and yes....I left the red dot. Mmmmmm.....where to now??? Cheers THENANKS 2008-05-16T00:00:00Z GraKez Found Got it, co-ords were spot on, so I didn't need to look hard. Not sure where he's going yet, maybe somewhere a little more urban..... 2008-05-16T00:00:00Z GraKez Note OK, the Government has gone urban. It has moved east and is now only 2kms from the bayside shore. The grey is a little hard to find at first, but once you see the grey you know you are close to the Government! 2008-02-10T00:00:00Z mastamak Note Moved back in to the Brisbane area. Southside in a bushland setting. Not much grey around here so won't be hard to work out where. 2008-02-09T00:00:00Z mastamak Found Nice location with decent views. There was a fishing competition on this weekend so there were muggles everywhere not that it matters for a moveable cache. 2008-01-06T00:00:00Z OMY130 Note Can't believe I was just there New years day & found the other cache. Had some dodgey info on the location of this cache, should have checked myself before heading out. Shall see this friend again soon.... 2007-12-30T00:00:00Z Knightsy Note The grey mirco cache has been moved NW to a spot with a good view, & camping, boating and fishing opportunities nearby. Enjoy your caching in the New Year. 2007-12-29T00:00:00Z Knightsy Found No muggles this morning at 5:45. Found and on the move tomorrow. Thanks YoungOldFella for a good hide. 2007-12-23T00:00:00Z Knightsy Not Found I had a go at this one on Sunday morning at 8. There were muggles in the hall preparing for something. Had a quick look under the walk way at the front but I got some interest from others arriving in the car park. Will try again. 2007-12-08T00:00:00Z youngoldfella Note Now moving east. Now hidden on something that resembles my name. 2007-12-07T00:00:00Z youngoldfella Found Followed the clues and found it. Very clever hide. Lucky for me that there was no one trying to have a BBQ. Will relocate it tomorrow Saturday 8th november 2007. 2007-09-03T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Note I thought it wasn't far enough out of Brisbane so I have taken in a little further this time. 2007-09-02T00:00:00Z Pantsman80 Found Got it under the cover of night again, yet still loads of pepole around "driving past". Now back on it's trip to somewhere new. 2007-08-04T00:00:00Z womblywoo Note I moved it quite a distance! Roadtrip anyone?? Hidden on something of similar colour close to a rest stop. 2007-08-03T00:00:00Z womblywoo Found Found it tonight, only just realised this was less then 400metres from my house! Will move it on tomorrow! 2007-07-15T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found Time for a move from this pleasant location. 2007-05-08T00:00:00Z womblywoo Not Found Looked for this yesterday but couldn't find it. 2007-02-14T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! 2007-02-13T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! 2007-01-28T00:00:00Z Osluxa Not Found Made a special trip for this one, eventually finding GZ (at two altitudes). Searched High and Low for GG with no luck. Perhaps I was beaten to it this time or I'm just suffering a little cache blindness. 2007-01-28T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note After seeing the DNF, we went to check on it. Still where we left it, as of 7:45pm. 2007-01-27T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Found Found it easily - great park! Super jungle gym and kids bike track... didn't know it was here. Will find a new location before today is out. 2007-01-27T00:00:00Z Kelvinator78 Note Now in a new home... Happy hunting! 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Collected at 10:30am. Will find a spot for him soon. 2007-01-19T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note Govt. Grey is now in a lovely park that some of you may know and have been here before. It is the park our family uses most. He is magnetic. Hope you come to this area and stay a while. 2007-01-17T00:00:00Z Osluxa Note A great place to spend the day By the Staghorns - NB: Cache is magnetic I dont think the Brisbane city workers would like you digging around in here 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Not Found Searched high and low and couldn't come up with the little blighter - oh well at least we were able to grab Mr Black. 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z Dosphoenix Not Found Looked all over the structure, not a black/grey box to be seen. Hope someone else isn't as blind as Mrs Nosugref and I were today. 2007-01-16T00:00:00Z Osluxa Found Kenmore to Clayfield. Hmmmmm - where to now? I'll place it in the morning. Note: One mighty fine specimen of a carpet snake was guarding this cache location. I've never seen #1 son jump so high. Thanks for the hide. 2007-01-14T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Found Found Govt Grey at 2:00pm today. Quite an easy find as he waited for transport so now, as he has been replaced, we can keep him on the move. 2007-01-14T00:00:00Z Sunshine Toledo Note "On the Move - Government Grey" has been placed in a more northerly park of Brisbane used for cricket, hockey and softball and it's a great walking area for geocachers and muggles. Across the road are rugby union fields, more cricket ovals and beach volleyball courts too. Across that road from Govt Grey and near the creek bank is a huge gum tree that is my favourite tree. It is the home of hundreds of birds and possums. Several different types of parrots make their nests in that tree. Have a look at it while you are here. 2007-01-09T00:00:00Z Osluxa Found It has returned ... and wasn't to far from home so I thought I'd give the new cache a go on the way home from work.... Bingo got it! I'll get it re-hidden ASAP and this time I'll check out my GZ properly before placing it. TFTC PS: Nicely typed and ordered log book, Seems a shame I'll have to scribble my entry below it. 2007-01-09T00:00:00Z Osluxa Note Well ... I got it right this time 2007-01-07T00:00:00Z The Mini Mob Note Funnily enough, when Osluxa phoned caughtatwork to advise him of Goverment Grey's demise, we were within earshot! No prob's says caughtatwork & promptly creates a clone for us to take back to Brisbane. 2007-01-04T00:00:00Z Osluxa Note Just in case others are wondering what has happened to 'Government Grey' I have some bad and some good news. I thought it best to post a log to keep interested parties informed. We grabbed the Cache the other morning and the same day we went on a bike ride to hide it in a new location. #1 son spotted what appeared to be a fabulous spot. A large grey flood light on the fence line of a local baseball field. I said "great, no muggles around, go for it" Seconds later with an absolute look of horror he turned around "I think it's gone" - (perhaps even a hint of a tear)...... WHAT!!! What happened is the small hole at the base of this floodlight, concealed a 3 metre hole.... straight down. We rode home grabbed coathangers magnets, and gaffa tape and spent the rest of the morning trying to fish it out.... NO LUCK! Ohh.... I said there was some good news....I have spoken to the owner of the cache, who took it surprisingly well. A replacement will appear soon.... So, watch this space. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Osluxa Found Couldn't resist grabbing a local. I was going to grab on New Years Eve, but teenagers were partying - or should I say stumbling everywhere, so I gave it the 'drive by'. I took the kids with me this morning for a quick snatch and run. We are going for a short bike ride this morning (wont be travelling far) so watch this space for the Coords. 2006-12-28T00:00:00Z wingaap Note New location... It could be a shocking experience! 2006-12-27T00:00:00Z wingaap Found Found today. Cache is a little wet. I'll dry it out before moving along. 2006-12-26T00:00:00Z snoosnoo Note GG is back in a new spot 2006-12-25T00:00:00Z snoosnoo Found Have found it and shall move it along 2006-12-19T00:00:00Z If Note The old GG had been stuck in a log near Buderim for over 4 months. Time to submit the necessary paper work to move it on today. The GG is getting some fresh air by the Brisbane River as of this afternoon. Keeping watch over the shipping movements. 2006-12-18T00:00:00Z If Found Oh I found it :) 2006-08-06T00:00:00Z thetoads Note Dropped this off during a mountain-bike ride this afternoon. 2006-08-05T00:00:00Z thetoads Found Found this as our second ever cache. Took it away to be placed again in the morning. Have the site thought out and will post the co-ords ASAP 2006-07-06T00:00:00Z THENANKS Note We have taken GG to a place further north for a beach,sun,surf getaway and a view as far as the eye can see .GG has been placed at a spot that is named after that world famous cacher (specializing at night) DAK .Take your time up here and possibly have morning tea on the rocks .The best spot to park is opposite the high school.Enjoy the hunt. The Nanks . 2006-07-02T00:00:00Z If Found I was out west today and decided to grab one of either Grey or Red as they are so close to each other. After seeing where Red was, I headed for Govt Grey instead. The cache now resides in the South East. Anyone for hockey? 2006-07-02T00:00:00Z THENANKS Found Another uneventful night time cache hunt (not). After looking in the obvious spot under a steel balcony for about 15 minutes,I heard a bang .I quickly stood up and nearly knocked myself out on the steel beam above. It was a security/club manager slamming a bin. He said,"What are you doing under the building?" The only thing I could think of was that someone had left something behind. He said how big? I Don't know. I said it's grey and maybe magnetic. He then said that no-one had handed in anything like that. About five minutes after he left me I found it and had a whoppin', big, huge lump on my head to remember my night cache. Thanks IF for placing and thanks Caughtatwork for the cache. 2006-07-01T00:00:00Z garrone Found Couldn't resist heading out and picking you up again! We've placed you in a new location not too far away. Sorry Wingaap, but it is nice to get there first for a change. 2006-07-01T00:00:00Z wingaap Not Found Headed out this morning in an attempt to tag Government Grey. Rang WitchPig to confirm location. Took late....it'd already been nabbed :( 2006-07-01T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found Retrieved for the final time. 2006-07-01T00:00:00Z WitchPig Note Not too hard to find once you figure out where to look. TFTC. It has been fun. 2006-06-30T00:00:00Z WitchPig Note I thought I had competition for this one when a car pulled into the same spot at 10pm. Guess they were there for other reasons. Cache has been moved and awaits the next finder. 2006-06-30T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found Just worked out I need to put a found it in before the move part. 2006-06-28T00:00:00Z garrone Note Now Grey is back in Brisbane with a view for miles. 2006-06-26T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note The Goondiwindi Grey... oops...Government Grey is up and running again. The Garrones have it in their hot little hands and will log its new location when they can. 2006-06-26T00:00:00Z garrone Found Yes, I'm afraid that Grey has been retrieved from the country and will be sited tomorrow. The kids did like this site and they made a beeline for the park bench as soon as they left the car. The poor guy sitting at the table didn't know what was going on as 4 kids raced up and started looking under the table. Having just returned to civilisation this evening, we will place the cache tomorrow. 2006-06-11T00:00:00Z powellbruce Note The kids will love this location 2006-06-10T00:00:00Z powellbruce Found Chased this one all over the city wasn't in the cbd on Friday so as punishment i have run far far away with it. Will hopefully find somewhere to hid it on Sunday(if it stops raining) 2006-06-10T00:00:00Z VWNuts Note OK, I turned on the GPS and found this cache was only 375m from Home.....required about a 1.2km walk to get to it...with my 3yo son we got to within 90m and it started pouring with rain....searched around for about 10mins in the rain then had to give up and walk home....in the rain.....CURSE YOU POWELLBRUCE.....oh well I'll have to see where it ends up. Graham (the wet one) 2006-06-09T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note Out for an afternoon geocycle to pickup the new caches from the Hide & Seek Weekend and placed this one. Sorry for the delay. 2006-06-05T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Found Push button, look up, take cache, walk across. So close to work. Then my desk is grey - can someone leave it under there next time? I wouldn't want to increase my stress levels looking for a cache? ruzzelz :) 2006-06-03T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found Come to King George Sq @ 8am & find the co-ords in the window of a Truck. Gone by 11am. ... Geoff ... 2006-06-03T00:00:00Z rong Note These are the cords from OMY 130 Show me a sighn 2006-06-01T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found To make it easier for the suburban based cacher, I'll drop the grey into King George Square Saturday Morning. Could also drop it Ipswich way Friday arvo. Contact by PM if this suits. .... Geoff .... 2006-06-01T00:00:00Z wingaap Note PM to OMY130 2006-05-17T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found From the beach at the bay, to a pole near a spring. 2006-05-17T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Note *&%$#@ - drove all the way over to the 'dark side' only to find OMY130 beat us to it. Bugger, it was only about 1.4K's away as well. Oh well next time. 2006-05-17T00:00:00Z rong Found Underneath out of the sun hidden away from every one. 2006-05-14T00:00:00Z rong Found Verry fishy good area for barby and walk the dog 2006-05-13T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found A small patch of grey is where I hide, one foot off the ground under brown planks of ply. 2006-05-02T00:00:00Z rong Found On top of an angle 2006-04-30T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found The Grey has been rescued from the dam'd. It is now residing near Pot of Gold, SHABBY SHACKS, Criter Crossing, Trouble etc. 2006-04-30T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found At the Gold Coast I was resting, toasting my feet When the Nosgurefs did take me to Compton the street. Now a new player has taken me away from the park And hidden me tonight when it's cold and it's dark. From my perch I see black with a little strip of white And the road beside isn't made of tar but of a potato chip type. 2006-04-29T00:00:00Z garrone Note Smile or be dammed 2006-04-28T00:00:00Z If Note The Grey is out west. Keep moving while you look. 2006-04-28T00:00:00Z garrone Found Touche' If! If you leave it in our backyard, then that's not very hard. Great location though, attached to a sign pole within a hedge. However, whilst dad ruled out the median strip steelwork, master 10 found it in only a couple of minutes. Can't replace tonight, but will take for a drive in the morning. 2006-04-27T00:00:00Z If Found If you're going to leave a cache at my front gate then If is going to have to grab it !! Will drop the Grey off again tomorrow morning :) Sneaky hide though, with the GG using extra cover and not just relying on its natural cammo ! Half an hour to find and then only found on a whim ! 2006-04-26T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note Think I've seen this here before. Think I've seen this here before. 2006-04-25T00:00:00Z garrone Found Finally we found you Government Grey. Anzac Day has been a great day for caching. We have returned you to your quasi government home. As an old electrical man, how could I resist the site of your new location. 2006-04-23T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found OK IF - very funny, Grey was not wet and it still had not caught any fish. We had to introduce a couple of muggles who were fishing right on top of Grey to this 'funny treasure hunt' game to be able to pick Grey up. It's now gone shopping (or close to it anyway) - watch the traffic. 2006-04-22T00:00:00Z If Note I had a great little bike ride along the bay this morning. Seems Govt Grey has caught just as many fish as the locals the last few weeks. None!! Maybe its luck will change before someone grabs it!! 2006-04-17T00:00:00Z garrone Not Found IF, the garrone tribe checked out this site at about 1500 on 17th. We looked high and low and failed to find the cache. Hopefully it is still there, but alas, we failed to retrieve it. It was worth the trip though to watch some guy catch a heap of fish with a cast net. The kids enjoyed that. 2006-04-14T00:00:00Z If Note Do I detect a lack of keen cachers out there not willing to go and investigate ye olde Government Grey. Surely it's term in office is not up yet!! Yes the GG is offshore. Bottom of the harbour scheme you see. Try googling the earth. 2006-04-02T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note If Do you mind confirming the Coords? According to my assessment the cache is off shore a little? I haven't been to GZ but suspect I know your intended placement area but it is a bit too far to travel on a hunch? 2006-03-30T00:00:00Z If Found Got the Grey on my journey to Cleveland this morning. Moved it north a few clicks. 2006-03-26T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found The Grey went for a Sunday morning drive. 2006-03-25T00:00:00Z VWNuts Note I grabbed this one this morning, and will hide again by tonight. Nice hide IF....I rocked up to the carpark and had about 3m to the cache....however that was over the fence and about 6m down to the road... a quick search revealed the cache right in front of the car..... 2006-03-25T00:00:00Z VWNuts Found Dropped off awaiting the next finder...... 2006-03-22T00:00:00Z If Found Walking through town this morning, so couldn't resist looking for the Grey again. Another WitchPig hide had me stretching skywards on tip toes again !! Dropped off Grey on my way to work. Good spot for those with tunnel vision. 2006-03-21T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Not Found That 11 m covers a lot of different Grey's which my quick lunch time trip failed to reveal. I had a 6 m lock at the possible GZ. Lucky for the Grey as I was off to Sydney tonight. ruzzelz 2006-03-20T00:00:00Z If Found Took the bike for a ride to Logan village and Beenleigh today to grab the Grey. It was getting a bit dusty where it was. Dropped it off on my way home. Go and gravatt it !!! 2006-03-20T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found Accuracy was 11 metres when placing this one. A little bit of searching should reveal the cache. 2006-03-18T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found The Grey was lonely. Amazing the amount of people who were at work at 4.55am on a Saturday. Right where The Grey was, the local plastics factory was in full swing which made us look pretty suspicious. Anyway, The Grey has gone to the close country - look where the cane may flood. 2006-03-18T00:00:00Z OMY130 Found After 2 attempts at finding this, I finally got it. It's now on a great little drive between Yatala & Logan Village. "Restricted" 2006-03-15T00:00:00Z Deco Found OK, Crew153 has to give me a hand up for this one. Did you know that wasp nests can look like caches at night. lucky they were sleeping! rehidden at S27 28.714 E153 08.508 just in private property again, but with approval of owner. as for a clue? Skyline. Cheers Deco 2006-03-15T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note Is that THE Skyline???? 2006-03-15T00:00:00Z Critter Note Cant really explain it witchpig um it was hidden? no no it was in the shadows and if you were to walk down and were not watching where you were walking you may have seen it, thats how i found it anyway take two dogs with you and have them tangled around your legs too, that seemed to help!!! 2006-03-14T00:00:00Z If Found Found the little blighter near the water but out of reach. Gave it a poke with a stick and caught it on the way down. Moved east a bit and left it at about the same height. Parking available right at ground zero !!!! 2006-03-13T00:00:00Z WitchPig Note Can you explain at all where it was Critter? 2006-03-13T00:00:00Z wingaap Found 12.25 Picked up GG and went to visit some of the local sites. 2.00 Now located at it's new address. Your clue: Leaning Pole.....Rubbish!! 2006-03-13T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found Found it easily, will put up new coordinates late this afternoon! 2006-03-13T00:00:00Z WitchPig Note New coordinates are in, shouldn't prove too hard to find so no additional hints....enjoy! 2006-03-13T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note The red is now out to play somewhere that is open 24/7. 2006-03-12T00:00:00Z Critter Found Finally i get to nab this one every time i have gone to get it someone has beaten me to it! Walked straight up to this one, nice place to hide it IF! Now its in a nice little corner for staff! 2006-03-12T00:00:00Z wingaap Not Found Had a quick look around this afternoon. Needless to say I didnt discover the little beastie. Must be a great hiding spot IF...you are to be congratulated. Either that or I will have to remember my glasses next visit. 2006-03-12T00:00:00Z wingaap Note Oh Critter...so pleased to know that you picked it up for now I know I'm not going blind :) 2006-03-11T00:00:00Z If Note Still there this morning. 'Tis out of view of security cameras, that should help as there aint many places they can't see you :) 2006-03-11T00:00:00Z WitchPig Not Found Lots of people looking on but the light was fading fast, spent 15 minutes with no joy. This one has the Pig stumped. Nice Hide and I don't even know where it is. 2006-03-10T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note A rare DNF for the Witch. Looks like the game is bumping up a notch or two. ruzzelz [:)] 2006-03-10T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Note Hmmmm we'll have to watch that IF - he's very cagey. I'm sorry we won't be able to play for a while - off to the big smoke on Monday. Come-on southerners you can do it. 2006-03-09T00:00:00Z WitchPig Not Found Witch - Woke up at 4:30am and thought....hmmm will go and have a look...searched for almost 30mins before the feeling of looking too suss to the traffic and early commuters forced me to stop. Climbing all over that structure, then having the GPS jumped around a bit and not wanting to stick my hands in places I could not see into was enough to convince me that perhaps someone beat me to it....I am guessing it's still there and very well hidden???? 2006-03-09T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Not Found Very large object has a lot of cameras pointed at it. Makes it for hard to deploy stealth mode. Had a quick look but could not locate the object of our attention without attracting attention by performing unnatural physical feats. 2006-03-09T00:00:00Z If Note OK I love a challenge, I am tempted to leave another clue. But no I won't other than to say it is visible from the walkways with no strange contortions required. The gobbledygook clue should help. Remember you are there to find a cache not look at the view! 2006-03-08T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note Redeployed. Things are going swimmingly. 2006-03-08T00:00:00Z If Found Swam out to Chandler Aquatic Centre this evening to find this elusive little cache. Yes finally got to it first, although after searching several largish objects in the dark I thought I had indeed been beaten to it again. Couldn't move it as far south as I would like tonight, so I have found a very large object to hide it on instead. Should make for a challenge to find it. Lbh jvyy unir gb ernpu hc sbe vg! 2006-03-07T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found Didn't need any horse. Dropped in on the way home. Released the cache from the grip hold. Let's see what shape we can make the GoogleEarth log track. May just need a bit of a tail on it. 2006-03-07T00:00:00Z wingaap Note I was preparing a couple of horses and a cut lunch to go after this one. I've just been informed that 276 horses were required to move GG to this location. Maybe it's time to let those south of the river have a bit of fun ;) Happy hunting 2006-03-06T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found Saved from purgatory; The Grey is on the move. Picked the little one up on a work errand. Will log new home late PM today. 2006-03-06T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Note Warning do not excavate for gas 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note Seems the real challenge is on then. How many times will it move today? 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z flipsnare Note a good lesson in looking harder *smirk* good to meet Wingaap though....we feel like such newbies! still.......lots of day left yet! 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found WitchPig snatched it again. Nearly got beaten to it but there was a good five minutes in it. We will place it later today somewhere grey. 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z WitchPig Note The co-ordinates are up, may be a little tricky to retrieve. If you need a hand look for James, he is at the right height. 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found The snake isn't open for business until the 18th and even then only between 9am and 5.30pm :) We moved this one further North and the location may prove to be a little tricky for the finder as there is a lot of Grey in close proximity and bad reception for the GPS. 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z wingaap Note Please let me know how accurate the coords were for you.....I got a reading "accurate 4mtrs"...first time I've had one like that :) Your clue: Power Shot & 222 Just in case you havent been to this area before....there are three caches located nearby. Nothing like pimping your own caches ;) Happy hunting 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z wingaap Found Arrived on site to find another couple of cachers present. Managed to nab this before Flipsnare zeroed in on the GZ Will place very shortly....stay tuned 2006-03-05T00:00:00Z wingaap Found Retrieved and redeployed. Thankfully I had the advantage of height to retrieve it from 'James'. Nide hide Witchpig. Now...let's hope you're not afraid of giant snakes....for there is a spotlight on one here! "let there be light" Happy Hunting 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Found The challenge: Can this Grey be Moved at least three times today. Nothsiders be nervous and be quick, it is Moving south again. This little baby could easily escape across the river from here. Oh yes, a quick take at 0618 this morning. It was so close to home just had to jump over and grab it. ruzzelz 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found Oh Ruzzelz was fast this morning. Witch of team WitchPig got up late looking forward to coffee in front of the TV but made the mistake of calling the Pig to let him know it was moved. The Pig being at work highly recommended I go and get it and move it for us...so much for my lazy morning....anyway...new coordinates are in! 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Not Found Right! Went all the way over to 'the other side' and yet again guzzumpt by Ruzzelz. We felt very exposed snooping around peoples front verges early on a Saturday morning. This is getting serious. If you 'Northerners' want to play rough I'll have to move Gov Grey to Sydney or the lower end of the Gold Coast. Only joking, this is good fun eh? Well we made the most of the trip and did 9 Wingaap specials; if our calculations are correct we passed the 100 finds today. So other than missing Gov Grey it was a productive day. 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note Hmmm looks like I stirred the Witch from her early morning slumber and caused the Nosugrefs some more grief. Unfortunately it appears that the challenge was not achieved but what would we do if the Grey were to leave. Well tomorrow is gives us yet another day to play and for all geocachers to prevent the escape of the Grey. 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z flipsnare Found found at approx 19.45 on the move... grey green? green grey? south or city? hmm... (challenge achieved methinks) *grin* perhaps neutral - not north or south?? 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found So far today the Witch and I have had a great laugh we have had visitors to one of our houses and they never weeded the garden, visitors to one of our work places and Geoff you never even came in to join us whilst we watched some DVD's on the big screen. With all this laughter it was time to snatch the grey and send it home. Government Grey is where you will find this cache. Well as close as we could get without tripping the sensitive perimeter security. 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z OMY130 Not Found Left home @ 1/4 to 10, thinking that the smart ones would be inside out of the rain. Wrong. Back home @ 11.30pm to find the grey is moving, somewhere. 2006-03-04T00:00:00Z wingaap Note Watching and waiting Ruzzelz 2006-03-03T00:00:00Z If Found Found it again this wet and dreary morning. Took it for a drive to see where it would end up. Watch out for trains!! 2006-03-03T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found 18:18hrs Got saturated once again for this lovely little cache. 2006-03-02T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note The Queen would approve. Head high. 2006-03-02T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found I have to say Crew that you took a very liberal interpretation of Government grey the colour. I give you your due, it was on the approved colour simply extrordinarily well camouflaged. Very well hidden Crew. 2006-03-02T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Note It may be high voltage, but its definately a low position. When you get there you'll UNDERstand. 2006-03-02T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found 18:15hrs The rain was not going to stop us, this little cache was going to far south in our opinion so we retrieved it. 2006-03-01T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found A neat little park that. sneaky hide. Will relocate soon. 2006-02-27T00:00:00Z flipsnare Found Found on a muggy stormy Brissy arvo - did have to use a stick and jump - Gov Grey on the move again - Mary and Estelle are waitin' for a ride - won't need to step up this time - geohound level :) 2006-02-26T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note There is sure to be lots of movement around this spot. May not be suitable for geokids or geohounds. If you're short you may need a step up. ruzzelz 2006-02-25T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Found Very quick find on the way out of town early this morning. I've been out bush all day so I'll put it back in circulation tomorrow. ruzzelz 2006-02-24T00:00:00Z wingaap Note Up and running again "Is this the end of the blue stripped pole"? 2006-02-23T00:00:00Z If Note Up and running again.I've given it a power-boost. 2006-02-23T00:00:00Z wingaap Found Government Grey is on the move again :) IF must have very long arms or very long legs as this morning's recovery of the cache was definitely not for the vertically challenged. Will post new coords shortly Happy hunting Wingaap 2006-02-22T00:00:00Z If Found Cool Bananas, the chainlink fence didn't stop me grabbing this little cache late tonight! I'll drop it off on my way home from work tomorrow morning. Look for it tomorrow between the airport and Hawthorne. Lovely colour :) 2006-02-19T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found Its moving again. Picked up early this morning and we'll move it closer to the city to give the 'northerners'& 'n/westerners' a go. It'll still be southside but in a closer location. Keep watching PM today. 2006-02-19T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Note Lets make this a quick one guys. Try Motorama magic and push some chainwire 2006-02-18T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note S27o38.299' E152o59.143' Now relocated. Can't get the new coordinates to stick. 2006-02-18T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note Hope this makes it stick. 2006-02-18T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Note Thanks for that Ruzzelz. I was in a hurry and did not have time to check it out properly. Looks like I needed the space in them the first time . 2006-02-17T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Note Picked up early this morning on work errand. It's going south of town boys and girls. We'll log this PM today 2006-02-17T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Found Nice entertainment nearby with this find. It's now at S27 38.324 E153 02.780. Arms length for a six footer, very close to two poles. 2006-02-17T00:00:00Z Crew 153 Found Couldn't wait to finish work. It's on the move again. 2006-02-16T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note Sorry about the error in the Coordinates. Went back and checked. Waiting for a finder. In a peaceful place but you will need to go higher. (Well was peaceful some muggles this afternoon) ruzzelz 2006-02-16T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Note VWNuts have made the grab at 1915 and will be doing a re hide tonight. (Within 2 hrs from cordinates were out.) 2006-02-16T00:00:00Z caughtatwork Note VWNuts (who haven't got a cacher name set up yet) have rehidden this cache at the above co-ordinates. They tell me it's not for the Vertially Challenged. Now, they didn't give me a story so ... I went to find this magnificent moving cache this evening. Armed only with GPSr and a long pole I was able to scale the dizzying height to grab this well placed cache. While I was utilising my pole however, one of Queenslands finest happened along and asked what I was doing. Well, rather than give the game away I hit him in the head and ran away. That was the right thing to do wasn't it? When VWNuts gets their cacher name set up then will log a find and I'll delete the note. 2006-02-16T00:00:00Z VWNuts Found Found this one nice and easy with my 3 year old son at 7.15pm, but had to crack out the climbing gear to retrieve it.....nice hide. 2006-02-16T00:00:00Z VWNuts Note S27o20.781 E153o04.267 Not for the Vertically Challenged... 2006-02-15T00:00:00Z Nosugrefs Not Found Guzzumpt by ruzzelz - I'll watch were you place this one for next time. Well done!! 2006-02-15T00:00:00Z ruzzelz Found Bit busy today so will relocate by PM on 16/2. Great concept. ruzzelz 2006-02-14T00:00:00Z caughtatwork Note Just noting the starting co-ordinates for posterity. It was hidden while I was on a one day business meeting jaunt to the sunny state of Queensland, only a stones throw from my meeting location. PS. Your state is too hot. Please arrange to lower the temperature by a few degrees :-) 2006-01-14T00:00:00.000Z GA0315 picnic rock Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0315 picnic rock Geocache Geocache picnic rock the odd couple Hirstglen Queensland Australia Traditional Small 1.5 1

Easy to find and access. Nice place to take a picnic.

How to get there: Take the Gatton Exit off the Warrego Highway. Pass through Gatton and head towards Toowoomba. Just out of Gatton there will be a sign which says Clifton (left hand turn). Take this road. The cache is located on this road. You need to look for a sign that says Tick free area. Look for an arrow to indicate the direction to look in. If you require rest room facilities this location does not have any however about five minutes before this stop is another picnic ground with toilets. This picnic ground is on the left and well sign posted. Here's a hint to finding cache. 'My these rocks are odd' Cache contains cow egg cup and logg with pencil. Please swap goodies and check status of cache as we are about one hour away and can't check it all the time. Happy Hunting and have a good picnic. We did. from WOTH (woman of the house!) 2009-06-05T00:00:00Z Wonder Wits Found Hmm, found, in the company of geoson Huge Red Machine, who fortunately didn't look too closely at the local trash. Also found the nearby GC cache which was archived the following day when the visiting owner noted how unsavoury the area has become. Bad vibes here. Cache still in the set up provided by youngoldfella last year - ie in a 'temporary' container that doesn't seal ... don't recall the condition of the contents because the prickly pear that geoson had been attacking with a SAK chose that moment to exact retribution. Thanks for the cache ... 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z KevL Found Not much has changed since the first time I looked for this one, but it was easy to find this time. TFTC KevL 2008-10-28T00:00:00Z Map Monkey Found Finally found this cache after a couple years visiting off and on. The cache location has changed every time i have been here, though it still is neglected by Council. :( With a lack of undergrowth this time, the cache location stood out as a likely spot, which was nice to see. The cache is dry and clean, thanks for that. Thankfully can cross this one off my list :) mm 2008-10-28T00:00:00Z WitchPig Found Found with Map Monkey - wasn't that hard to find it is a shame the area is such a mess, it could be a wonderful spot to stop with a bit of TLC. 2008-10-13T00:00:00Z youngoldfella Found Found at 1500 today. Co Ordinates are spot on for this one. Had a look for this one to make sure that it was still in existence. It is only 20 meters or so from Where the Haldon are we. Took about 5 minutes to find it. Container was full of water and everything inside soaked. All Destroyed including log unfortunately. Have dried out container replaced log and put two swap items in container. Log in plastic bag. There is a pencil and pen for the log and a mini sharpie pen for swaps. Have put this container inside a cheap plastc container and then in a Plastic Bag due to GZ being on the side of a slope and water seeps into the hidey hole. The log of Tornear on April 29 2007 is spot on with the actual GZ. I have left the covering rocks in a pattern that will stand out a bit to help in discovering the GZ as the side of the hill is a little slippery and loose undr foot but not dangerous. TFTC 2007-12-24T00:00:00Z Map Monkey Not Found Too much grass diluting the cache location to find this one again.......due to all the rain recently. It seems this location is being neglected by Council staff etc in favour of the nice area down the road, with a small log over the steps area to prevent people descending easily now. It's a shame to see another hidden area disappear slowly and we hope that this is not the case. HAd a good look for some time, with all the clues, however the ground cover is making the find very difficult now. Thanks for the stop in any case. mm 2007-05-10T00:00:00Z KevL Not Found Looked high and low, found a dozen cavities,even more rubbish but no cache. Maybe next time if its still there. 2007-04-29T00:00:00Z tornear Found Australia won the polocrosse world cup today and we stopped in at this cache on the way home from Warwick. Managed to find it without too much trouble - looks like a first to find too!! Took egg cup, left LED light. For those that haven't been able to find it - the coords seemed to be spot on. At the bottom of the bank there is a largish rock that looks like a likely hide, but the cache is further up the bank behind this in one of the many cavities in the rocks. Have a good look and don't be put off by the empty bottles etc. 2007-01-10T00:00:00Z If Not Found Visited the picnic rock today. I've stopped here on many occasions over the years. The locals are still using it as a sort of rubbish dump come drunken, sordid meeting place unfortunately... It is a pretty place if you don't look to closely. Speaking of which... I didn't find a cache today. 2006-03-01T00:00:00Z Map Monkey Not Found Decided to head up this nice valley on a nice detour from our parents place which we lived for many years via East Egypt Rd (worth a drive) to find the cache. I hadnt actually ever stopped in here and was excited to see a nice picnic area, though it seems to be visited by others of less than perfect morals who have left their telltale signs unfortunately.....fourtunately the area is still safe and great to visit. Searched for ages for the cache, though i didnt understand the clues to find the cache. I was a bit confused by the references to arrows etc. In the end i even checked out the cave around the other side of the "wall" (follow the creek trail for maybe 10m), though couldn't see much without a torch. Great area for a cache, though i was unsuccessful. Thanks for the chance to check out this area though. Next time we are down this way we will hopefully stop in, armed with more information, to find this sucker. Thanks Agsmky 2005-11-10T00:00:00.000Z GA0245 Australian Geocacher Signature Item Trove TB Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0245 Australian Geocacher Signature Item Trove TB Geocache Geocache Australian Geocacher Signature Item Trove TB Grank The Gap Queensland Australia Other Regular 1 1

A travelling container designed to gather Australian Geocacher signature items from all over Australia.

One of the fascinations of caching is the many signature items you find. Unfortunately, if you cache in one area, or even in one state, it is likely that you will only see a selected few of these items that numerous Geocachers have selected to "leave their mark";. This Trove is designed to travel Australia (i.e. it does not leave Australia) and be the receptacle of Australian Geocacher signature items. The intention is to give other cachers interested in these objects the opportunity to sift through the (hopefully) many trinkets deposited by fellow cachers. If you wish to "find" this cache just add to the collection of signature items. If you do not have a signature item, improvise - maybe just drop in a personal note, but be prepared, there is no log in this container. Note that you cannot remove or swap items. This Trove can also be tracked as a TB on geocaching.com. It can therefore be passed from cacher-to-cacher and attend events in order to achieve this goal. Please log the new coordinates when placing the Trove in a new location. 2009-06-06T00:00:00Z Team K & S Found As it was our first cache we were a little unsure about what to look for but we found it and have been addicted since! TFTC TNLNSL 2009-03-18T00:00:00Z totalube Found This is my first moveable cache and my first GCA cache. This was a great way to experience both for the first time :). The last time I was at Dak things looked very different, firstly it was at night, and secondly there was far less debris on the ground. Luckily it was day time and both geoson and I had no problem getting to GZ. Enjoyed seeing Dak again as did Geoson. I will be planning to place a suitable signature item into this cache and will move on soon. 2009-02-20T00:00:00Z sushilord Found Visited this cache/TB while at Dak. Would have bought it back to Adelaide but lack of bag space stopped this happening. 2009-01-26T00:00:00Z dadegroot Found Found this today at dak. Didn't move it but had a read through the album. 2009-01-24T00:00:00Z Jabiru230 Note Dropped this TB in DAK (GC13XB5) this afternoon. DAK seems an appropriate place for its arrival in Brisbane for a couple of reasons. Many who have signed it's log will have met DAK or at least be aware of his many achievements in geocaching and DAK's memorial cache can hold the TB! 2009-01-23T00:00:00Z flower1 Found Spotted in the hands of Geo-sister who brought it from Goondiwindi to Brisbane. We looked around for a new place to locate it but came up with an entirely different plan. The TB is about to be grabbed by another player who has a cache of some significance to relocate it to. I had a nice time going through the contents and have added a note because my new pathtag signature item is not ready yet. 2009-01-20T00:00:00Z Geo-sister Found I was going to give up on this one because it wasn't where it was supposed to be. Geo-son (let's call him Hawk-eye) was quite a distance away pretending to help when he actually found it. The cache was sitting out in the open but the contents all seem to be ok. We're on our way to the big smoke so will find a suitable place to relocate the very interesting TB. 2008-11-28T00:00:00Z baby&Mrs gopher Found This cach has a new location in Queensland.It is close to GA1GEA7 Junction.Watch out for the mozzies.It is a bit of a move from Victoria. 2008-11-24T00:00:00Z baby&Mrs gopher Found Found by baby&Mrs gopher at the Christmas in the Ranges Event.This was a top get together with many cachers in attendance.It was wet and the wind was blowing at times but the cachers were warm and friendly. As we are headed North on Wednesday the 25th November we hope to be able to sneak past Dubbo and place this Signature Item Trove up over the boarder into Queensland.Tnx Grank for allowing baby&Mrs gopher to be part of the history of this TB 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z McAdies Found Discovered at the Christmas in the Ranges Event at Mt Macedon 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z Kinkell1 Found Discovered this one at Christmas in the Ranges Event. Added our calling card. 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z SamCarter Found Added my SamCarter/SG-1 signature logging sticker to this interesting cache. An excellent idea. (#508) Thanks, Grank. 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z Alansee Found Discovered at the Christmas in the Ranges event. Left a personal card. 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z 2Dudez Found Found at the Christmas Event. Would loved to have put our actual sig item of a souvenir spoon , but might have mad the album a bit hard to keep flat. Used our 2Dudez stamp to make out mark. A great idea for a cache 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z Keeper of Time Found This one took a long and steep walk to get to, ended up being over 2 hr round trip. I will hang on to the cache and take it to the "Christmas in the Ranges" event for others to see. 2008-10-19T00:00:00Z vk3jap Note Placed in the bush on the west side of Mount Macedon. Can get here via the 4WD tracks in Summer, really nice 4WD actually. 2008-10-16T00:00:00Z vk3jap Found Grabbed this and just had a look at home.. what a great idea! Lots of good stuff in there a most enjoyable find.. will have to secure a good location for him! 2008-08-30T00:00:00Z teamppss Note Moved to Conglomerate Gully Nature reserve Riddells Creek , while you are in the area try getting GCK4RF "Pebbles and Gravel Embedded in Cement" 2008-08-28T00:00:00Z teamppss Note Grabbed from AussiePuschaks in Canberra 2 weeks ago whilst on ACT cache raid. Its back in Vic now and will be dropped shortly. Great idea and iteresting reading 2008-08-06T00:00:00Z McPhan Found The very generous Captain Tomato made this one of my laziest caches ever - he brought it to me. Then the strange thing - one of my signature items is already in it. Maybe it is attracting them by osmosis? Great idea and cool to look through what people use. 2008-07-04T00:00:00Z aussiepuschaks Note Dropped into Yowani Lagoon, Southwell Park for virtual pickup 2008-07-04T00:00:00Z Captain Tomato Found Collected this cache from aussiepuschaks. Enjoyed looking through the signature items and added my own. 2008-07-04T00:00:00Z Captain Tomato Note Just logging another virtual drop so the next finder can move it on. 2008-07-02T00:00:00Z aussiepuschaks Found Picked this cache with another virtual swim in Gungahlin Pond. A fantastic opportunity to see a little bit of something from everyone who has added their signature items. Have added Aussiepuschaks card and Australian flag. A wonderful idea, TFTC. 2008-06-29T00:00:00Z SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 8(+866=874) about 1:30pm Thanks Grank - another wonderful novel concept. Enjoyed being able to take the time and check out the cache leisurely at home. Added signature item. Finally picked up this cache from Mtrax's house after a wild goose chase via Farrer - LOL! *Overall Experience: 5* http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Rating 2008-06-29T00:00:00Z SecretSquirrel-BJC Note This cache is a bit of an albatross being so big. So I tied a rock around its neck and made a virtual drop into Gungahlin Pond. I will be organizing to handpass the cache to interested cachers - I think that is the way to go. It would be nice to get it to another event here or interstate. 2008-06-28T00:00:00Z winglen Found MTrax has had this a little while (or more!) and I have intended to log this cache earlier. I see it still shows up as being in the Wollongong area. Anyway, it's a great idea for a cache, and we left a Winglen $2 dollar note (well sort of). Thanks Grank. 2008-06-20T00:00:00Z mtrax Found I picked this up somewhere , I think at the Flash mob event. handed it off to SS 2008-03-01T00:00:00Z K9 Kid Note Will be avaiable at the 2nd Annual Illawarra/South Coast Get-together (GC18W9M) on the 1st March 2008 2008-03-01T00:00:00Z Gribbly Found Discovered this one at a cache event, added my signature and left it for someone else to move on. 2008-03-01T00:00:00Z Lucy & Roo Found Found it at the Illawarra event. Added our Signature Item - A Lupine Keyring (Unfortunately the last one we had and maybe the last ever, could be time for a new Signature Item!). Thanks Grank 2008-03-01T00:00:00Z richary Found Found at the event cache. Interesting one. TNLN. No signature item so used some of work's notepaper to write my log. Thanks. 2008-02-10T00:00:00Z K9 Kid Found Grabbed this cache to keep it moving... 2008-01-04T00:00:00Z cache track Found As i canot see any events planned for the near future i will pass this on to another Cacher Great idear Thanks Grank 2007-12-21T00:00:00Z BlacknWhite Found Very excited to have the opportunity to help move this TB. Also a pleasure to meet psychokat & slowdad at this venue at Windang NSW. 2007-12-20T00:00:00Z psychokat Note This cache will be available from 6pm to 10pm nightly at the Windang Christmas Carnival in the food van. So come and find it or grab it and move it on. 2007-12-03T00:00:00Z psychokat Found Grabbed at the ACT christmas event, will be moving it to Wollongong next week. 2007-12-01T00:00:00Z J!////`/ Found Saw this one at the christmas event down at molonglo gorge. Such a cool idea..i will have to make one sometime :D Left a Computer chip with Mael! TFTC, J!////`/ 2007-10-30T00:00:00Z SuperJaz Found This cache inspired me to create my own signature item, an idea I'd been toying with for some time. Thanks Grank for providing the added incentive. 2007-10-26T00:00:00Z Tealby Note Dropped off & immediately collected by Bewilderbeest... 2007-10-26T00:00:00Z Bewilderbeest Found Collected this one from Tealby so I can explore the contents. The plan is to take it to the WWFM event on 10 November to share with other cachers. 2007-10-20T00:00:00Z Tealby Found Just passing by (huh - it was on top of a hill of course!) - decided to grab this cache before someone else nabbed it - had to solve a tricky puzzle first though. 2007-10-17T00:00:00Z mtbikeroz Note Transferred to adjacent "Hermit's Lonely Poem" out near the Cotter, GC162QA. NOTE - The coordinates above are for the initial puzzle, you need to solve the puzzle to work out the final coords. THis GCA cache is 2 metres from the Hermit's cache. 2007-10-07T00:00:00Z mtbikeroz Found Got it, will take somewhere again soon, after I read/listen to all the contents. 2007-10-03T00:00:00Z The Spindoctors Note Sitting alongside Long Distance Call (GCHVH6) - Tidbinbilla, ACT. 2007-08-30T00:00:00Z The Spindoctors Found Moved to the Red Moon event (GC150WD). Dropped off a Geotalk CD, which I produce. 2007-08-29T00:00:00Z tronador Note Have seen this before. Left my mark at the Red moon after sunset event. 2007-08-28T00:00:00Z Team_Chicken Found This one popped up at the Red Moon Event Cache. Left my signature mark in the logbook. 2007-08-28T00:00:00Z Alpini Found TFTC lovely to see that cache at a also very lovely event. Alpini 2007-06-25T00:00:00Z Usat31 Found Yet to get our signature item, we placed our signature in this cache at the WMD event. A great idea & nice to see so many people signing the log. 2007-06-25T00:00:00Z yeeehah Found Found at WMD. 2007-06-24T00:00:00Z ruffasgutts4x4 Found Logged this cache at the Weapons of mass destraction event today many thanks. 2007-06-24T00:00:00Z Altaire Found We have no signature item as such, however we dropped a note with our usual log mark. Interesting to go through the cache to see the different signature items as well as signature log marks & stamps. thanks 2007-06-24T00:00:00Z tegator Found Found this one at the WMD event. Dropped our usual card. Good idea love having a look at other peoples signature items. 2007-06-20T00:00:00Z maverick4x4 Found Found it while it was passing by 2007-06-20T00:00:00Z homedg Note This cache is now located at the WMD event. 2007-06-20T00:00:00Z homedg Found Found it while transporting it. 2007-06-16T00:00:00Z SUBYDAZZ Note Has this cache moved to new location since it's last posted co-ordinates: S31o 54.121' E150o 47.109' ? 2007-04-07T00:00:00Z Mix Note on the way to the Upper Hunter Camping 'n' Caching Weekend 2007-03-31T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Note On the way to meet up with its owner again, at the Old Brush. 2007-01-13T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Note On way to C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C. (or however many c's there are) 2006-12-04T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Note Currently in safe keeping at our house. Not quite at the above coordinates, but close. 2006-12-03T00:00:00Z The Antipodes Found Found this one at the picnic. 2006-12-03T00:00:00Z tronador Found Sifted through the treasure at the picnic. Nothing to leave except my nametag! 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Swampgecko Note No, as I have conflicting committments, however I have asked someone privately if they would be willing to take the box to the Xmas event. 2006-10-24T00:00:00Z Grank Note Are we able to attend a Xmas event this year? 2006-10-23T00:00:00Z Swampgecko Note Was here for the 2 Swampys Event Cache but now moved on. 2006-10-23T00:00:00Z Swampgecko Note Not really at those co-ords..... Just near enough to my home without giving away the location. Will ask Crank what he wants done with it.... Grank, what do you want done with it? 2006-10-13T00:00:00Z forthferalz Note Hi Swampy - maybe you better post the event coords for this cache :) Did Snuva drop in my Travelling viking geocoin? I don't want to lose it - forgot to tag it properly with a mission and it's not trackable. Big purple thing - if you go to the website on it you can find out how to log the secret virtual cache. It should hop around autralia to events in the trove for a while and tehn when it get's back to Grank catch a postal ride home. 2006-10-02T00:00:00Z Swampgecko Found Grabbed this at the Two Swampy event cache, on it's way back to the big island after it's vusut to the main land. Will place a moved note after I return home with it. 2006-09-18T00:00:00Z Snuva Found Finally had a change to find this one, check out other Aussie cachers' sig items, and add my own! I now have cache and will be moving it to south Tassie. 2006-09-05T00:00:00Z forthferalz Note thanks riblit for posting those coords - these new age caches are sooo confusing but 'top marks' to Grank for thinking of it and Rip for finding it and glad you don't mind the free advertising on GC.com TB page for a less well patronised website, and also not complaining here about "what is TB doing on GA anyway" :) 2006-09-04T00:00:00Z forthferalz Note TB is placed in a GC mystery cache so can't give out coords - read its homepage. 2006-09-04T00:00:00Z Horus Not Found Had a quick look for this one while in the area with CraigRat - gave up pretty quickly because we weren't sure if it had been moved on and we were looking for something that possibly wasn't there. 2006-09-04T00:00:00Z Horus Note So if I get this right, the cache/TB isn't actually where we looked yesterday? That was where robtas found it? But it's now somewhere else? Somewhere that we are suppost to guess? I is confoosed :-( Oh and by the way - CraigRat, you are retarded :-P 2006-09-04T00:00:00Z Riblit Note The cache it's in shouldn't be a mystery, unless the mystery is how it fitted. It's in Coin Cat-o-log - GCWEV7 2006-09-04T00:00:00Z Horus Note Not Happy Jan :-/ 2006-09-04T00:00:00Z CraigRat Note Well call me retarded, but isn't this the Homepage? If it's not at the physical location, surley a note that it's been moved would be nice? 2006-09-03T00:00:00Z CraigRat Not Found Couldn't find this one, has it been moved? 2006-08-31T00:00:00Z rippunzel Found Dont really have a signature item as such, so just dropped in 'found by rippunzel' sticker . . Nice day for caching Thanks 2006-07-27T00:00:00Z forthferalz Found Poor TB! It just missed the hobart mid winter event :( He's at home airing - lots of things dropped in including an anti-damp sachet. 2006-07-25T00:00:00Z robtas Found Placed it today on a glorious sunny day (as usual).Thanks for a great cache/TB idea. 2006-07-13T00:00:00Z Grank Found robtas has this on the move to the apple isle .. see you there 2006-07-13T00:00:00Z Cached Note bet you meant that last log to be a note not a find! 2006-07-13T00:00:00Z robtas Note I have it in my hot little hand and will be hiding it shortly. Robtas 2006-07-13T00:00:00Z The Barramundi's Found Woohoo, Left a Barrmundi in the box, please add water. Our first GCA cache Cheers from The Barramundi's 2006-07-12T00:00:00Z Grank Note No probs with placing items in there, but none to be removed and this the Trove is not to leave Australain shores ... well we may let it go on a managed tour of NZ later on. 2006-07-11T00:00:00Z snowone Found Found at the Tips and Tricks night, left a snowman. Great idea, with some interesting items in it. 2006-07-11T00:00:00Z forthferalz Note http://www.sigitem.com/ Are any non-aussie Sig items also welcome in the trove? 2006-07-10T00:00:00Z four-fun Note Cache is now residing here http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=cf6207f1-103b-4d34-88e8-d9a033aa7f05 It will be available at the event to grab [:D] 2006-07-10T00:00:00Z shonkylogic Found Found it at the Tips & Tricks event. No shonky stamp, but I did pop a ShonkyMaps install CD in there. Look for the Australian Developer CD Cover. If you want to use the maps on your Garmin GPS you'll need a licenced copy of MapSource! 2006-07-03T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Picked up this cache as I passed today. Surprised it remained still for that long! Interesting idea & fun to look through the contents. Will add an item and rehide it soon. Cheers. 2006-06-28T00:00:00Z Zytheran Note People might as well use this for now until our next local event in July. 2006-06-16T00:00:00Z Cached Note This is somewhat inside a secure fence. Hope somebody finds it soon! (did a hand to hand to Zytheran, after his amazing efforts located a cache that had been archived for 18 months!) 2006-06-16T00:00:00Z Zytheran Note Grabbed from Cached and taken to a secure site! Ah the joys of GCA caches..much less restrictions. :-) PS No you can't get to the above coordinates and live to tell the tale.. Will place this in another more accessable place soon. Opening bids start at Coopers Pale Ale six-pack, Mwah,ha,ha,haaaaa. (Just Joking) 2006-06-13T00:00:00Z Cached Found This one came to Adelaide for the croweaters to play with! Out in the next couple of days. 2006-06-11T00:00:00Z Roostaman Found Had a good long look at it at ROC's Scooby Doo Event. Placed my signature sticker in & also a Bidgee Caching logo on behalf of the Wagga Teams. Roostaman 2006-06-11T00:00:00Z Mind Socket Found Dropped in a Ubuntu CD with my stamp on it at the Scooby Doo event. Good thing my signature item isn't a large green ammo tin. :p 2006-06-11T00:00:00Z Team Horizons Found Great idea. Had a look at it at the Dubbo Scooby event. 2006-06-11T00:00:00Z Postman Pat Found While tyiding up my gsak files I noticed that I had ched the found box in gsak but did not log it on line what a dope :-( now all I have to do is find the other 3 that I have checked of but not logged Ron 2006-05-30T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Note The Trove is on its way to Dubbo. It should arrive on 9th June. 2006-04-09T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Note Picked up from the COD event. The trove should soon be heading to Dubbo. These are not true coordinates - but they are not too far from the troves current resting place. 2006-03-27T00:00:00Z Mix Found I change "signature"; items often so I just dropped in my current one, valid until June. Thanks. 2006-03-25T00:00:00Z The 2 Dogs Found Had pleasure in adding our 2 Dogs 2006-03-25T00:00:00Z GIN51E Found Got my hands on this one at the Geocachers Picnic, I couldn't exactly put my numberplates in there so i left an impression of my stamp [:)] 2006-03-25T00:00:00Z Damo. Found Found at the Geocachers Picnic. Great idea for a collection Grank. 2006-03-18T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Note This cache will soon be moving to Cash on Demand - Geocachers Picnic. 2005-12-04T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Note Currently in our posession. 2005-12-03T00:00:00Z Grank Note Cooling my heels in the Parramatta River waiting for The Great Aussie Christmas BBQ 2005 - NSW 2005-11-28T00:00:00Z GeoMonkeys Found made my mark, or left my signature item, forget which is which. great time at the CCCCCC@CC 2005-11-27T00:00:00Z Grank Note Coming ashore for the event. Will arrive with Grank. 2005-11-27T00:00:00Z Wyoming Wombats Found "Found" at the CCC. Whilst I don't really have a signature caching item, a card with details on it with my "Signature Log" item (TNLN). I encourage ALL cachers to add to this. 2005-11-27T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Found Found at Central Coast cachers "picnic". Left a shifter. Love to see this again in a few years - how full will it be? Great idea. Well done Grank. 2005-11-27T00:00:00Z Cache On Demand Found Signed this one at the CCC picnic. What a great idea, I would like to see how many signature items this collects. Thanks again Grank! 2005-11-10T00:00:00Z Grank Note Sitting offshore (really in the hands of Grank)in readiness for attendance at the CCC&C@CC 2005-08-22T00:00:00.000Z GA0201 Local Test Track Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0201 Local Test Track Geocache Geocache Local Test Track OMY130 Dayboro Queensland Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 4

When anyone I know has bought a 4wd, I always get asked "Where can I go to test it?" This is where I send them.

Could be done on foot or mountain bike. From the east, 3/4km hard steep climb (from end of graded road). From the west, 2 1/2km easy walk. Just up from the cache is some level ground to sit back & enjoy the view. 2008-11-09T00:00:00Z agap2 Found have been up this track before before I knew about geocaching, good excuse to come back again. was hoping it would be in a spot I could stop at.... but no, but only a short walk back. thanks for such a big cache here. 2008-05-03T00:00:00Z Searchers Folly Found Yippee! Our first ever cache! The 4wd had a flat battery and so we took the car - that meant a walk up that very steep hill! Great views and great location. Took the monkey keyring and left a toy ambulance in case other walkers need it! 2008-03-24T00:00:00Z spoon88 Found Found @ 11:34 Excellent spot, found cache without too much hassle (our first!), and it was a good opportunity to get the 4wd muddy!

TFTC. 2008-02-13T00:00:00Z Just a Trifle Found The find was easy, but getting there was a challenge as the roads were wet and muddy. It certainly makes a good shortcut between Dayboro and Caboolture if you have a 4WD. TFTC OMY130 2007-06-10T00:00:00Z cebidae Found Mloe and I found this one easily enough. Nice views from the top too. 2007-06-10T00:00:00Z Mloe Found Found @ 12:03pm I didn't have the GCA caches loaded into my GPSr but we were down in the valley and Cebidae suggested this one. I'm a sucker for a terrain 4 cache so of course we had to check it out. We parked at the end of the sealed road and walked up from the east. Not too bad a walk although the loose gravel was tricky in places. After we found the cache we went the extra little bit to the top. The view of the Glass House Mountains was well worth the hike. And we're not 100% sure but I think we might have seen the US Navy here in Australia for "Talisman Sabre". We found the cache no worries. The log book wan't in a plastic bag when we found it and was slightly damp. FWIW we put it in a ziplock bag so hopefully it'll be okay. 2006-09-10T00:00:00Z dadegroot Found Found this today in the wet at about 10:40am and then again at 10:59am as we came back. Came back? Yes we continued up the track, skirting or going through several large muddy puddles, skirting fallen trees, and generally have a lot of fun (well I was, the Mrs wasn't too impressed[0]), until we got to a rather daunting, gouged and potentially slippery (in the wet) hill. I haven't yet got a full recovery kit, and we were on our own, so we thought it prudent to turn around and head back the way we'd come. Stopped on the way back to make swaps in the cache (since I'd forgotten to on the way in). Took: torch Left: toy car [0] this was her first real off-road trip, I reckon it might be better next time as she was worried we might tip over - I wasn't - I was more concerned about getting bogged! 2006-06-19T00:00:00Z dezza69 Found Nice cache with an awesome view... Enjoyed the 4wd'in up as well... Left some stuff, but didn't take anything - cache is getting full!! :) 2006-04-25T00:00:00Z Xixau & Shenzi Found Thanks for the cache. Did it after a lovely drive up. Enjoyed the drive through too, might be a useful shortcut sometime. TNLN.
