The hint about looking up had me puzzled for a while, until realising the hint would be "look under".
But even then, no cache to be found.

Out and about but failed to unearth his one. Had a detailed look, must be cache blindness.
Found it. What better way to finish a busy day at work than going geocaching. Thank you
After a big day out on the Reef, my grandad and I knew we had to find a cache for my daily streak. We explored some suburbs around Cairns, and it wasn't looking too good after 4 DNFs. It was getting quite dark as well. We came over and tried this cache.
We parked nearby and walked on over to GZ. There were plenty of hiding spots! We started searching, and found it after about 5 minutes. Great hide!! And finally, we found a cache for today!
Our thanks to Spinmeout and greetings from Canberra.

Got it this time around. Needed to be a semi contortionist to get to it, but none the less, eh cache is all high and dry and in great condition.
Thanks for the hide

On my geocaching tour with my rented bike i could find this one today. TFTC and greetings from germany.
I had to call the search off for this one, as a local muggle and doggle we're walking the park. Played the 'I am a photographer' card and got the hell out of dodge. Maybe next time.
Checked on our cache today, a bit of cache creep happening and although the cache was near the right spot I nearly missed it after a short search. I widened my search and saw it as I was about to replace the container. I have placed it back where it should be and have replaced the logbook. Please replace cache back exactly as found. Camo is still quite good. Happy Hunting.
Searched for about half an hour after multiple previous visits where muggles were lingering or cutting the grass. Must be a good hide!
Found this one during a brief gap in the rain. Took it to my car to sign log but found it to be full of water have a photo of cache as evidence though. Nice hide.. TFTC
A nice little search in another area close to home that I never even knew existed until now. Unfortunately I managed to leave my pen in the car and there wasn't a pencil in the container so couldn't log it.
It certainly is still the dry season. There was not a speck of water in the creek but I can imagine it flows very well in the wet.

Yay. Our first find was difficult as we were running out of day light. Lucky there were 8 sets of eyes looking for the prize. Thanks s & f
Found during my trip to the tip of Australia whilst staying in a nearby Caravan park. A Sneaky little cache and had to do a bit of searching for this one but after a crouch, a squeeze and a peek it revealed itself. Beautiful area a due to the recent rain the river was in full flow ( not to mention the ground was slippery) and a nice container, spot and camouflage. Sorry it took so long to log, I've only just got Internet connection.

In Cairns for a short stopover after fishing in Weipa. Found after a short search it was well hidden from view. A nice secluded part a Cairns to visit. TFTC
Parked up and walked along the grassed area to the GZ. Passed some interesting dogs in the back yards along the way. We arrived at the GZ and the hunt began. Where to look first as there were endless hiding spots. Took some time to make a systematic search...and there it was. Obvious when seen. SL TNLN TFTC Spinmeout
Took quite some time. Was just about to give up when accomplice TropoBirdo located the little bugger. Cheers for the cache. Interesting area.
Dank Australiens gut bebauten Wohngegenden war erst kein herankommen. Nachdem wir einige Straßen abgefahren sind, fanden wir endlich einen recht einfachen Weg zum Cache!
TFTC!
PS: Den Cache habe ich damals unter anderem Namen geloggt.
Ich logge Ihn nochmal, wegen einer Account-Splittung!!

Bit of look around but came up with the goods:) nice little hide with easy access. A muggle was moving near by so remained tactful and unsighted throughout the mission:) TFTC
Great walk during a break in training. TFTC a little damp from the heavy rain this morning but still is good working order.
This one was a bit tricky to find as autorouting put me at a place I could not get through to, Used my direct approach and cache was in hand. Interesting place.

This was a sneaky little hide. We looked n looked (for about 15 minutes) then had a 'duh' moment. There it was. Great cache. Cheers. Think we'll need to step it up to challenge spinmeout.
Team TVOP (T) together with Rikkiboy. Nice one to start with for our morning walk. Even a train passed. Nice. Found at: 08:06. TFTC.
Finally feel I can properly claim a find on this one. Previously, I logged a DNF and was given more clues by the owner so felt sort of obliged not to claim a find when I did find it then. But this time took GeoSon (newbie) with me and gave him only the "original" clues, and he found it OK, so I can vicareously claim the find too, I think. Logbook in good condition, all OK. TFTC (again).

Came to this one tonight with waynecarly after a previous DNF and looking for close to 15 minutes. waynecarly made the find mere seconds after we started looking this time. It was definitely not in the same place last time we came searching. Perhaps someone has not put it back exactly how it was previously? Either way works for us for a nice quick find by torchlight. Creek actually has water in it at the moment as opposed to bone dry last time. Cheers
Chatmanais and I attempted this one a while back and weren't able to find it but everything just seemed to be going our way tonight After about 30 seconds of searching I located the cache and retrieved it for signing (I swear it definitely wasn't there last time!!!). We got mobbed by a cloud of sandfly-sized flying insects while signing the log and I think I managed to ingest a few by accident, yuck! Replaced the cache and slinked back into the darkness on the way to our next find...TFTC
OK will admit to a DNF after 2 visits, first with Mrs Banjo then alone. Mrs Banjo also had another look and no joy. We did find it together after Spinmeout gave an additional (definitive) clue but feel we can't claim a find. At least we can confirm that it is still in place and dry. Congrats on a really great hide. Btw for the benefit of later hopefuls who have to come back again (and again) like us, there is much closer parking in Woomala St - you will see the easement access between the houses. TFTC Spinmeout.

Worked up a bit of mid-morning geo-sweat attempting to locate this cache. Well hidden, but persistence paid off after about 20 minutes. Left nothing apart from an entry in the log.
Went to visit Granny today and dropped in on our Cache.It is still in its right place and in good condition.
This one is quite obvious once you have found it. Sorry to those who could not find...it IS still there, keep looking.
I can't really give you any more clues without sticking a big arrow pointing you in the right direction.
Happy Hunting.

A few DNF's on this one tells me I should go and check on it soon. Will be going past on the weekend. So please be patient until I can confirm if it is available.
Cheers

I saw the previous DNFs and thought I would give this one a crack. I parked at the suggested co-ords and made my way to GZ. GZ was a tomb.. so it made it very easy to search. I looked.. high... low and in between for about 30 minutes. No luck for this black duck. Perhaps it is still there - but it did not come to hand for me. TFTH Spinmeout
No luck finding this one today, spent a good half hour looking but to no avail. Even after reading the clue with 2 of us going over the area it was not found.
Hunted and hunted - even after reading the hint and previous logs we couldnt spot this one. Either it is really really well camoflaged or its gone walk abouts!
Found a parking spot very close but did not find the cache until about to give up and go and buy some beer for the trip south tomorrow. The GPS kept telling me it was here but I did not look at the right angle.
For some reason I thought the cache was something different but when I read the logs it tells you that it is a key holder. Well some you win and some you don't.
Last cache in this area for this trip.

First find on our last minute caching adventure, and what a start it was. This one truly had us questioning our skills and wondering just how rusty we had become. We tried all sorts of approaches and none came up with the booty. Even the 'where would I hide it?' came up empty. It wasn't until we were about to give up that Ballbag let out the familiar call of, 'found it!!'. How more in plane sight could you get . Enjoyed this one a lot, even if it had us pulling out our hair. Bumblebee signed the log at 1330.

Easy to find general location but nearly gave up twice locating cache.
Great hide. Obvious when found. No muggles about for entire 30 mins.
Water is crystal clear!

Another nice one for a stroll with the kids. Took us to an area we hadn't explored before. TFTC.
After two failed attempts finally found it right where i had been looking the whole time. Surprisingly well hidden in quite an obvious place. TFTC
Pt. Douglas Trip 09.7. My search was interrupted by some locals come to make lots of noise on the bridge. Thanks. Albida
After a break for tea, Mr red tag and Jr decided to grab a few more caches to round out the night, and this was the first. It seemed after a thorough search that it would elude us but persistence (read stubbornness !) paid off and the sneaky hide was discovered! TFTC, Spinmeout !
Easy Find;
to walk across the cain railway bridge reminded me of a very nice book and movie "stand by me" - "Summer of cooruption"

Looked and looked, then spent goodness knows how long deciphering the clue, looked some more and I had just decided the cache was definitely not there when STW brains decided to have a look and discovered it. Very well hidden (too well?) but safe and sound and dry. TNLNSL. TFTC
When our kids were younger we used to walk this way often, en route to the old Earlville library, so great for nostalgia too.

11.15 - Didn't register the parking recommendation and as a result tried to find access to GZ where there was none. Eventually got lucky and found an easy access route. Then I thought my luck has run out as I struggled to locate the 'thing'. Eventually I found it. Well hidden. T4TC
Replaced Logbook due to damage from recent wet weather.
Please return the cache exactly as found, so that the water will not enter the container. You will know what I mean when you see it. Thanks.

Hopefully the wet weather is behind us.

Finally found on about my 4th attempt. It's good to have this one finally conquered. The log book was so wet I couldn't write in it so I inserted a piece of my own paper. TFTC.
Second attempt at this one, with geokid in tow as my eyes could not find it the last time. Dont think we would have found it this time either had it not been for the star of a person who left a hint. Used to wander here some evenings with the Cub Scouts from the nearby den.

I think I have been here at least six times. And now I succeeded. After finding "Great Wall Great Fence" I knew what to look for. But without decrypting Green Geckoe's hint I would have gone home again having another DNF. I wonder why I haven't detected it before.

No no no no no no no no no. It can't be there. I looked there. I did. I looked once, I looked twice, I looked thrice, I looked there lots. No no no no no no. What the! TFTBTOAS TNLN SL. On the bright side, I saved $50 eh, Spinmeout.
I didn't manage to find this one. I will have to come back with more of Team Yarrum.
This one took some finding for us with just 1 geokid in tow today, had to decode the hint onsite to find the cache.

Like others before me, I found this a frustrating and fruitless initial search. I spent twenty minutes or so with my slowly-losing-interest young nephew on what was our first cache hunt of the day. If I was alone, I'd have persisted as I had this sense of being so close I could smell it! Will definitely go back, especially after seeing how Spinmeout attached 'Centre of Attention' but no luck today!
Went back to revisit this one and after searching again eventually found it. It is quite visible when your eyes are pointed in the right direction.
