Quilpie

Only another 120 kms along the road and we are nearing Quilpie. I got out my phone for the gps and in doing so I saw that a new cache had just been published and we were 5 ks away. Well, of course we were going to tryfor it. Warren found a spot to park the car within 79 metres and we went for a stroll or in my case a quick walk as a "first to find" is good to acheive. The cache was called Reference tree and it was a tree that had been used as a reference for roads. This tree was out on its own and there was a small branch about six inches long, at head high and there was a rusty o ring hanging on the branch. I plucked it off and underneath it was a magnetic micro and a clean log. Yay the FTF was ours. Such simple pleasures!

Warren had highlighted the Quilpie Lakes to stay at, it was a private property who had some powered sites for hire and  more spaces if campers were selfcontained. Even though it was only 3pm, their powered sites were all taken so we had to go in the caravan park in Quilpie itself.

After we set up camp in there, we went walking down the street and found the rest of the caches in there.
 This was in a garden next to the police station.
Pretty stained glass windows of a church, there were three churches in town. Photo has not shown how pretty it was.
