Hi Hunters,

We are not going to replace this cache as it seems there is a local that seems to enjoy stealing what is not theirs. We have put it in different locations to throw them off track but to no avail. Sorry to disappoint as this was a very popular cache.

One day when looters cease to exist we will continue putting out large caches.

Cache appears to have been muggled, local cacher walked by who knew where it should've been and came to have a look when we couldn't see it and he couldn't see it either. Couldn't find TBs either. Pity, would've been our hilltop find. Cached the visitor book at Barron Falls instead Wink with Synni

Opted out of the second half of the Jumrum creek walk due to stairs (not too stroller friendly for our sleeping 5 m.o.) so I walked back to the Skyrail terminal on the streets, which took me right past GZ with time to kill while waiting for the family. Perfect! QEF, TFTC!
 
16-Oct-14
I strolled along the path from the other cache nearby and then over the railway and headed towards this cache.

The GPS was not very cooperative under the trees and I searched around looking for a spot which would fit the hint and then I was lucky enough to spot the cache.

I'm surprised a cache of this size would survive in this location.

TFTC.

Find #567

Holidaying in Queensland for 10 days and Tarbit was keen to check out Kuranda so we drove up to Cairns and beyond on a day trip. She took Geobaby to the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary so I had an hour to kill and what better way to spend it then tackling the two traditional caches nearby. Having found the first nearby I diverted to pick this one up. I think I timed it right as the tourists seemed to have caught their various modes of transport out of Kuranda. After a brief search I had the cache in hand and was pleasantly surprised by the form and size. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited a couple of TBs. Thanks for the cache Rummaging Remins.

just a note to log the TB i found in the cache

got back into the country and Cairns last night
and off to see some relatives on the tablelands today
we usually sneak up the Gillies
but today we went via the Kuranda Range
so I could detour off to do the nearby earth cache (for Earth Cache Day - yes I know, a day late Big Grin)
so stopped in here for a look too ...
very quiet this morning, guess we made it up befor the tourists
fairly quick find
always nice to find bigger caches too [^]
there was a TB in the cache which I grabbed
a few visited too

#6192 Having flown into Cairns from Melbourne ex Sydney the previous day, this was our first full day of enjoying Cairns. We were touring with our mates DazzPete and had decided on a day in Karunda, in retrospect we picked a brilliant day for it. We took the 3 gondola's to the top and then explored Karunda on foot. This was very close to our exit point so it was a short stroll to GZ where a well hidden and nicely sized cache container awaited us (we love ammo's). Our thanks to Rummaging_Remins for the cache in a top part of FNQ. Cheers [^]

Took: Nothing
Left: Pathtag

Straight off of the SkyRail and to GZ for the first find of today. Now it's time to explore Kuranda before taking the Train back down to town.

Find #1512. Found @ 13:15.

We're holidaying in Cairns and doing holiday type things. While the good lady wife and geomunchkins were looking at stuff to buy at the markets, I found a cache or two.

A nice quick find in the most logical location. Luckily there were no muggles anywhere at the time of my attempt.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Rummaging_Remins.

Greetings also to the neighbour across the street who was watching us Smile

Thanks for this one!

On the full day Skyrail / Rainforeststation / Kuranda Scenic Rail experience with the Geowife, and had a few minutes to grab this cache after jumping off the Skyrail.

Got to GZ and saw a likely spot for the hide. A quick look proved fruitless.
Checked the coordinates and they seemed to put my in the middle of the grass - so did Google Earth. Having cleverly not checked the cache size, wondered if it was something really devious and tiny...

After determining this wasn't the case, checked the cache size. D'oh!
That suggests where I looked the first time.

Went back to that spot and had a better look. CIH.

Completed signing duties and went on our way to sample the delights of Kuranda - bought some honey after trying the free samples. Yumm.

Klettercache and me are making a 5 week holiday in Australia and our route leads us from Sydney via Brisbane to Cairns. From Cairns, we are going to take a flight to Adelaide and from this city in Southern Australia we will continue our trip by train through the Nullarbor Plain towards Perth, where we will fly back to Germany.

During this third week of our stay, we drove our rental car from towards Cairns and will stay near this village for 5 days. We haved to drive really a lot of kilometers the last days and are glad now to have an opportunity to relax for a while. Anyway, we are looking forward to find caches around Cairns and to make some trips in the surrounding region.

This day, we made a small trip to the surrounding nearby Cairns. We drove from Cairns towards Kuranda, Mareeba, Port Douglas and back to Cairns. It was a real nice trip and we have seen a lot of nice sceneries.

This cache was lying along our way and we really appreciated the nice view of the railway station nearby. The logbook was slightly wet. it seems that the container does not close tightly any more.


Thanks to the owner for keeping this cache.

What a nice hide in such a busy area. I could not imagine, to hide a box this size... Perfect! Thank you!
 
09-Aug-14
Holidaying in Cairns for a few days today we decided to check out the Skyrail and take in the sights along the way.

The ride up on the rail was great, we headed up from the arrival station and soon located the hide. The neighbouring dog didn't want us to be there as they were barking constantly until we moved on.

TFTC and placing this one for us to find while we were around this quaint little village. Took TB

Nice quick find after the beautiful train ride up. Now for the gondola back down. Awesome little village. Tftc!
 
Travelled up the Sky rail. And then a quick search for this cache straight forward find once my GPS settled. I walked along THE RIVER AND up TO THE OLD MARKET AREA. AND HAD A WONDERFUL TASTY CREPE WITH LEMON AND SUGAR. Divine! Looked at other market quickly then into butterfly house which was good to see. I saw the koala house and thought I had seen enough of those and didn't go in but I discovered later that there is much much more to this place with crocs, snakes etc I feel it needs re naming!!!
The rail trip was excellent.. Amazing work of engineering .. to think the workers were suspended on ropes to cut into the rock face to make a track. Up to 1500 men worked on this track at one time.. I don't fancy being a wife living up there!
Thanks for this cache.

#250 1500LT

Between Skyrail Rainforest Cableway and Kuranda Scenic Railway to Freshwater Station a short sidestep for a cache. Very close to it I heard a voice from behind: "Yes, you are very close!". A geocacher living next door to it had observed me...
My #250!
