Description
Hidden to be part of the ICEM series.
I've Cached Everywhere, Man is the largest cache series hidden in Australia. It is made up of the locations made famous by Lucky Star in the song "I've been everywhere" in 1962, lyrics by Geoff Mack.
BelKen mentioned a few weeks back that there were new verses to the ICEM song, and that Bambaroo had made it into the list.
It's been a while, but I noticed that no one else had done it, so as we past by, we dropped a cache in.
Pull over on Ibis St, stretch your legs, and check out the bushes.
Cache is a small Systema container painted black. Cache contains a small log book and a pencil. Will try and remember some goodies when we come by in a few days.
Logs
#GA5615 - 16:50; Day eight of the Townsville Mega adventure with Sol de lune. Made it through to Townsville last night and headed out to Charters Towers to try our hand at the variety of cache types in the area. Once our mission to Charters Towers was finished, we decided to head north of Townsville to Cardwell for the night. Stopped off for an easy find on this one as we passed. The second visit in recent days! TFTC Champs2Monkeys

Chauffeuring Smittengranny up to Cairns to visit the grandkids and found this cache with her.
Now I can say that I have cached in Bambaroo too. TFTC champs2monkeys A quick find opposite where TG47 was able to turn the caravan around. Firdt I noticed the bottom of the sistema then the plastic bag and then dug a bit and found the lid. I have put a new log in the sad looking bag and after signing duties were completed all was replaced at GZ. Hopefully more points in the current Game of Battleships.

Haha... ants are hard on caches in the tropics. Even with a sealed sistema, they ate all the pages out of the log book only leaving the cover. Signed the plastic bag. Hopefully they don't start on that next. TFT another ICEM Champs2Monkeys.

Cairns 2016 trip. I tried this a few years ago with no luck, but today I saw what I was needed and was able to complete the duties without getting bitten by any of the ants.
Thanks

On a day trip from Townsville and this was on the list for a park n grab. No problems at GZ and the cache was soon in hand. Sitting under the natural camo and the cache is good condition.
Thanks for the cache C2M...

We are staying nearby in Ingham and stopped by t grab this one.
We were pleased it is school holidays so no muggles around the location.
We were surprised to find the cache sitting in full view at GZ so after signing the log we covered it with a bit of natural camo.
Many thanks for the hide Champs2Monkeys

Found this one on the way back from holidaying on the Atherton Tablelands. Stopping in for a few caches close to the highway.
Searched for about 10mins, with most of that time used swatting mozzies.
Logbook was completely soaked. So much so, that I couldn't separate the pages. Put a new logbook in, inside a new snap-lock bag.
Dipped GeoKrety Key Coin.

A radiating search was needed to find this one. These co-ords might get you a bit closer - S18 52.097 E146 11.366. Thanks, cache in good condition.

FTF Bit of a bugger. Caught up in all the work on moving back to WA we let the caching slide. Missed you placing this one and also missed the event. I still have two coins that we put aside for you. PM us your address and we can getthem in the mail.
