Its just too hard to find a spot that's safe with the heavy muggle traffic so sadly I'm giving up on this one.
Found at 11:18:00 AM
Retrieved and logged quickly in breaks between muggles.
Thanks Temingi

Funny story as it was my first time looking for one and then a man and little boy were sitting there with it and I asked them if they found the treasure
Our first visit to Yeppoon and Emu Park. We were standing admiring the view and thought what a great place for a cache so had a quick check and we were right near it. Beautiful spot. TFTC
It really does sing. I found the cache in the obvious spot and dodged muggles checking out the view to retrieve, sign and replace the cache. Good hide. This is a beautiful little seaside town, makes me want a sea change.

Cache had to be moved as Council cut down the Pandanus ( where the cache was hidden )to improve the view from the carpark.

Advised by Council that the new landscaping may take 4 or 5 weeks. so I'll wait till its finished before finding a new hide.
Can't believe Council cut down these palms. Cache removed . Will replace in nearby spot soon.
I’ve reached my destination and what a lovely one it is. The wind is blowing and the ship is singing. Thanks.
This is our very first geocache! We were muggles until some lovely showed us the way!!!
Found while escaping the Victorian Winter. Thank you for placing this cache, the scenery is absolutely spectacular and the memorial is definitely thought provoking.
worked out where it was but too many muggles so went and had lunch and came back
Found while doing a drive around with friends who have recently moved to this beautiful area. Surprisingly the geowifes iPhone was spot on with this one as the gps was left back in the caravan. Tftc
#1408 ~ Found in the company of SuzySquirrel and Stacevel who have found this cache separately on previous trips to Emu Park. 37km/h winds here tonight and the ship was singing brilliantly. ~ TFTC Temingi.
After a short search we found the box quite quick thanks to the good coordinates. We not only listened to the singing of the ship but also enjoyed the views and the coloured lories in the trees above the cache.
Thank you for hiding and maintaining it!

Tftc, quick easy find, great location. It's very windy today so the ship is definitely singing.
My son was pretty happy when he found this one. The biggest one he has found left a pusheen sticker. Took nothing. The satellite was quite a bit off. Was further north that it stated. Fun find thanks.
Located on a breezy day with a brisk wind giving the pipes something to sing about. Log book is chockers but thanks for bringing me here. TFTC. Favourite point for the location and keeping the cache alive!
Checked this today. Previous 2 finders did not look in the cache container properly. The old log book was full but a new one was also in the container ( Thanks to Ian and Penny ).
The old log has now been removed to avoid any confusion. Sorry to those cachers who like to look back thru the old logs.

Took us quite a while... eventually found it about 10m from where we had been looking ... satellites were a bit unreliable here today.
Another couple of cachers were also looking but gave up and left before we found it
There was space to sign the log next to entries from March 2016 as other pages too full... TFTC

Hi there Temingi.
We found your cache **"Singing Ship 3"** at 10:12:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 20420).
We started the day off by nominating a cache near Emu Park, and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We finished our cache run at Kinka Kippers, where we had an excellent lunch before heading back to our caravan for an afternoon nap.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route. Today we found 6 caches & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container is in good shape. We radded a new log book.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Coles Mini thingy.
**Dropped Trackable:** "The Travel Lizard Dog Tag - ružový zajíc".
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Really interesting area. Luckily the wind was blowing slightly and we heard the singing ship.

An esy find while exploring the area. Left a toke in the cche container for another player. TFTC
Beautiful even though we sadly didn't have enough wind for a proper song. Thanks for bringing me here!
My first instance of having to pause and pretend as an annoying chatty smuggler on the deck below asked what we were doing and kept talking for ages, said we'd seen a lizard, partial truth!

Yep!! I reckon I know where it is. Too old to climb up there though. Easier access area blocked off for construction. Thanks for bringing me to this beautiful spot though!!
Yippee found it where I thought it would be. Also picked up the trackable to drop off in Bundaberg
Had to visit a couple of times - too many muggles! Then retrieved quite easily. Left US 10 cents - TFTC.
A great outlook over the bay and the Keppel islands. Interesting sculpture, though the little wind wasn't making it sing today. Dropped a travelbug, unfortunately none of the others were here today.

Was market day today, so lots of people around, didn’t feel right to go off track in searching for this cache
We came across your cache, Temingi, while on our third and final Cap Coast day.
Nice quick find after the Muggles moved on. All good here.

Out with my little sister (31) who lives local to find my first Emu Park Cache ,weather is blowing a gale and my phone was all over the shop as well taking way longer than it should have ,left a couple of our Pathtags for the locals or the next cacher , great location most definitely THanx for the Dirty Adventure
So windy today so lots of music. Was a bit off track with our search so after being chased back to the car by a heavy shower we researched more and next break in the weather a new place was searched and cache found. TFTC
What the heck have the council put on the walkway, it's horrible and still very sticky. I gave this one a good go but it's getting darker and I couldn't find the hide. Love the monument though especially the music playing. I will fix the photo when I'm on my computer because for some reason this phone always turns it on it's side which is a nuisance!
Happy new year! A gorgeous day at Emu Park. Our co-ordinates were a couple of metres off, so we are greasy and stained from the walkway and handrail. Decided to look in the logical spot - success! Thanks for the find.
Out for a drive with Mrs Prime and spotted this from the carpark. It brought back memories - vague memories - she had as a (very very young) child visiting here with her parents and older siblings seemingly before the time capsule was buried.
Thanks for placing this cache, Temingi. Found in good condition.

The GPS wouldn't settle and pointed us a few metres either side but we looked in a logical spot and there it was.
The ship sang a little song to celebrate our #99.
Left a dinosaur sticker.

While traveling from Cairns to Sydney with a Campervan (today at Capricorn Coast) we enjoyed sightseeing by geocaching. This cache showed us a great place, great view and astonishing singing ship.
Many thanks, Bigerchen

Great place for a cache. Lots of happenings with the landscape hereabouts. Apity these little seaside towns have gone this way.
Found this awesome little black and white cache but forgot my pen to write with. Great location, TFTC
Definitely a cache worthy spot. I ended up with sticky stuff all over my hands from the rails on the board walk so don't try to access it from there. Lovely area - enjoying our drive around here. Thanks
