Bevor unser Bus zurück nach Cairns ging wollten Nicole1338 und ich diesen Cache mitnehmen, wurden jedoch nicht fündig
Had a really good look for this one, on a number of occasions. My GPS was frantic under the tree cover, but no go.
3:52:00 PM. Staying in the nearby caravan park we looked for this yesterday without luck but gained a tick for our travels. Went back today with a torch and more time. Still took a while with the better half on muggle watch. I found it where I thought I had looked yesterday and signed log. Thanks biggles58 for placing this cache.
A small search here as GPS throws about a lil.. But as other logs suggest keep to your cache senses and u will locate not to hard. We took the TB and will take home to the Gold Coast to continue it's travels. Thanks for another cache North Qld!!
In Oz visiting relatives in Melbourne so taking the chance to get some tropical sun. Found with Loppyfo and dropped off one of the family's racing travel bugs.
The GPS kept jumping but it was at the end closest to the car park...just a heads up...
Nice little explore. Cache is not where GPS points. Follow where your gut instinct tells you to go.
Found on return trip now that the water has gone down. Didn't enjoy the spiderwebs but signed and logged. Thanks for the cache
Après le PMT à la barrière de Corail (sans cache) nous continuons notre voyage découverte dans la forêt de Daintree. Merci pour la cache.
Enjoyed some geocaching while holidaying in the area. Cache and contents in good condition but am a bit concerned about it blowing off in a cyclone. Thanks biggles58 for the cache.
Found after a little search but unable to retrieve it due to the loads of rain the last few days . We took a photo of the cache to prove we found it . If CO need the photo we can email it threw tftc
Found it too but didn't want to get wet feet due to lots of rain will be back another day
Drowe up from tsv and did not stop even for a cache. After dinner i has to go for the daily cache.

On our trip through Australia we drove to Kangoroo Island after visiting Sydney, Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road and the Grampians. After a really scary ride to our hotel (our ferry arrived at 7pm and we had to drive all over the island to our hotel and through the darkness with a lot of wallabies and possums on the street) we enjoyed the next morning with Seal Bay and Flinders Chase National Park. For sure we also visited Admiral's Arch and the Remarkable Rocks, two really impressive places. Back on the mainland we had one day at Adelaide, before we flew to Alice Springs. From there we started the ride to the Red Center and on the way to the Mereenie Loop Road we stopped at a lot of the beautiful Gaps, Chasms and Gorges. First stop was the Simpsons Gap, after this we made the short walk to the Standley Chasm and then we arrived at the Ellery Creek Big Hole. Afterwards we finished the day with a visit of the fascinating Ochre Pits and the Ormiston Gorge. The next day we drove further to the Mereenie Loop Road, but a short stop at Gosse Bluff came first. From Tyler's Pass we had a first look at the crater, before we took the sandy road to Gosse's Bluff. After the spectacular ride over the Mereenie Loop Road, we arrived at Kings Canyon the early afternoon and were happy that it wasn't too hot. After sleeping in a very comfortable tent we continued our way to Ayers Rock. Trying to catch a nice sunrise we got out of bed very early and so we had enough time to walk through the valley of the winds, before it was closed. Afterwards we walked all around the Ayers Rock and were very wiped out at the end. But the fascinating landscape excused the stresses and strains. After this we flew to Cairns where we enjoyed a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, to Kuranda and some homley days at the beach. The trip to Michaelmas Cay was really impessive, we had a nice turn with a catamaran and four hours of snorkeling at the cay. Really wonderful and we had the possibility to swim with a big turtle. Two days later we took the Scenic Railway up to Kuranda and stopped at the lookout at the Barron Falls. After a little walk through the rainforest we returned to Cairns via the skyrail. The last days we used the time to log the one or other cache at the beach.

After a phantastic journey through parts of Australia, is this our last cache before going back to Austria. We found it although it started getting dark. And we took out a coin.
With my friends geocaching whilst visiting Palm Cove. First time my friends have done geocaching...and they spotted it!! I have dropped a geocoin in it and taken out a travel bug. Signed log and replaced.
Up to Palm Cove for a long weekend away and did a couple of caches. Finally dropped off a Travel Bug that has been with the family for far too long.
Also enjoyed a stroll through the new estate and on the way back to the board walk saw a pretty green Tree Snake a few feet of the walk.
Thanks Biggles88

Abenteuerurlaub mit dem Brizz-Camper durch Australien .
In der ersten Woche haben wir uns in der Gegend um Cairns umgeschaut .
Rechts im Brizz-Camper sitzen , links schalten , rechts den Blinker betätigen und links auf der Straße fahren .
Dann auch rechts und links nach Cachen suchen .
Eigentlich haben wir ja Urlaub .
Nun ja , wenn wir schon hier sind , dann mußte auch dieser Cache gefunden werden .
Nach einer interessanten Nacht mit Regen , Wellenrauschen und unbekannten Tiergeräuschen sollte dieser Cache gefunden werden .
So praktisch nebenan an unserem Campingplatz Palm Cove .
Als Belohnung für unseren ersten Urlaubstag haben wir hier Trackables getauscht .
Vielen Dank für die reiche Dose neben unserem Campingplatz .
Gruß sulu .

As we are staying overnight just a few meters away on the campground, I felt quite obligated to pay a visit to this cache. If there would have been no cache here, I'd had missed the small path behind the carpark and probably the beautiful mangrove forest too. Thanks for bringing me here!
We found this one last year while holidaying with granddaughters. They have since signed themselves up as team winx basge. Back again for a camp nearby and the girls are keen to sign their own logs. We picked up the girl guide travel bug to show them how they work.
Find #606
Stayed in Palm Cove for a few nights and had a great relaxing time. Managed to make the geowife so happy I was allowed to do 5mins of caching so walked by this one and signed. Thanks for sharing this little hidden walk to visitors!
