Description

A small cache in the bush with a few pathtag swaps.

 This cache is placed near the Pontoon at Dunethin Lake.  It's a lovely little spot to drop a canoe in the water for a paddle as it is on the Maroochy River Canoe trail.  There is a Scout Camp across the road.  It is run by Nambour District Scouts and has campsites available to hire for the general public.  A boat ramp is located a short distance down the road.  There are two other caches and a Munzee nearby.

Congratulations go to jasenjanine on being the First To Find!

After finding your nearby GC cache we made our way to these coordinates. Unfortunately all we found here was the wire tether attached to the tree. Sad

Haven't been down here before, so while heading past we took the time to have a look...and grabbed cache as well. Took note of the previous log and took a very short walk from the road and soon had the cache in hand. Cache is sitting in position and is good shape.

Thanks us3scouts for showing me the area.

After wandering along from the jetty to this cache we discovered that it probably would have been easier to approach from the road. Love these containers. We hadn't seen them before today. This one seems to be missing its o-ring but cache was dry inside. Back to the jetty to watch the sun go down before finishing our caching for the day. Thanks us3scouts.

A quick and easy find today. Thanks for taking me back there.

The container had a bit of water in it as the rubber 'O' ring was missing. I found it on the ground broken but replaced it on the container before I left. Very Happy

Found 10.15am
Parked up close by and started searching, it took some time to find as my GPRs would not settle. Nice to find a good sized container.

Took 3 pathtags
Left 3 pathways

Thanks for placing a GCA cache here.

Our second find. Thanks to our friends Kawianna for getting us interested enough to go out & buy the hand held GPS.Now instead of just going for a drive to some where we go hunting. Smile

Hooray … we found it Clapping.
We decided to call in and check out this new GCA listing on our way back from Noosa today Very Happy. As we had it on the watchlist, we noticed that Green Team 2 couldn't find it Think, i hope the co-ords are ok … we thought
We arrived at the car park from the Bli Bli side this time, and were happy to find no one about Cool. We plugged the co-ords into the garmin, and set off on our hunt. The arrow took us into to the bush where the GPS'r promptly lost track of the satellites Sad. I kept walking in the direction that the arrow was suggesting, and approximately the distance that was locked on the screen. As i got close to where i thought i need to be, the GPS'r came to life again, and said i was only a few meters away Shocked. I had a quick check in the nearest tree, and to my surprise … found a cache Dancing.
What a great container, we haven't seen these before … it looks very robust. I took the *FTF* pathtag, signed the log, and replaced it where i found it.
Now to track down that munzee Think

Thanks us3scouts for this little treasure, it has been a while since we found a GCA cache … this is only our 14th Rolling Eyes

Had a good look in the rain but no luck for us. Added a zero to missing co-ord which put us amongst trees down a drain. Will keep an eye on this one.

Dunethin Lake Pontoon is our first GCA cache to be PUBLISHED.
Ready and waiting to be found!!!
