#103 Doolackah Soldier

Parked just down the road from this one last night and I thought I could grab this one while the truck warmed up this morning. I like these military memorial caches as it make people stop and even if the don't think of the history at least they see it. Cache is in good condition TNLN.

#102 Welcome Home

Well to me this wasn't a welcome home but a farewell from Charleville and get on your way. Again a nice simple find beside the hi-way. SL TFTC. The tree (not the one in the photo) looked so out of place.

#101 Drought-Buster

A nice simple find to break up the trip home. Interesting piece of history here. I think the American Indian idea of dancing for rain makes just as much sense though and probably just as effective. Cache was in good condition. TFTC.

#100 Welcome Strangers

This makes 100 finds. The rocks became a bit of a nightmare. I found 4 separate snake skins in among the rocks and the clue which became so obvious in hind sight did not help me one little bit. I had been out to the Wareena gas exploration site to deliver a tank and as this was to be my farthest west find and my 100th, I was not giving up even if it meant moving every single rock. After a bit of looking and thinking to myself it cant be this hard, a bolt of lightning struck and I had the cache in hand. This one gets a favourite point for a few reasons but mainly because of where it is. There is some beautiful country west of here and now that it is so green it is a pleasure to see it. Took a steel marble because I never had one this big when I was a kid, and left a furry dog. TFTC.

#99 Kiss Kiss

On my way to Wareena Gas fields to deliver a tank. When leaving Home I had 98 finds so this is number 99. My plan is to try and find the one at Quilpe and make my hundredth find also my farthest west. But that is for tomorrow. This was a great cache with a tricky hide. Made me scratch my head for a while. The name had me going and it took a while for the penny to drop, but when I found the cache and the double meaning became obvious I wondered why it took me so long. TNLNSL. Well it would be almost impossible to leave anything wouldn't it.

#98 Road Kill

Found this one today whilst on my way to Toowoomba to pick up some parts for a truck. I have driven past here a lot in the last few weeks but anyone who knows this road would realise this is no place to be stopping a truck for a walk around. The cache was easy enough to locate but it was in really bad condition. The lid has fallen of the tin and the log was saturated. As I was on a flying visit, I had nothing with me to replace anything so if the owner has a chance, this one needs help. TFTC. I didn't even have the camaera with me so a photo will have to come at a later date.
