*REQUIRES MAINTENANCE* Fun find, thanks for the stop. Wanted to sign and do a trinket swap but everything is wet and mouldering Cute container and idea though!FOUND IT! cinta & nomes

We found it in a minute it was a amazing

It was a bit wet but me wrote my friend and I names

We continued today our tour of several AUS states in the NorthWest and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.The weather was - said in one word simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood. The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.Thanks to bluelens for the generation of this nice cache Eden (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they happened.Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Today was a very early start with a drive to the airport for a 6 am flight to Cairns and day one of our North Queensland geocaching trip.Snickersallan and I were met at the airport by Grannysmith and Bluewattle. The bags were thrown into the car and we were off for a day of adventure. First off it was up to Kuranda, then across to Mareeba, down to Atherton and Millaa Millaa. It was then over to Innisfail before working our way back to Cairns, to arrive just in time for the night time event. It was nice to see a couple of locals turn up to the event, thank you.On our way to grab an old virtual we saw this one and thought we would try our luck. It took us a few minutes as I thought inside the fence area would have been private property, turns out it may have not been, lol. A nice size container. The log was signed with all four names before it was replaced as found and we continued on. Thanks for the hide and the placement.

Thanks for placingFound with Chamad, Snickersallan and GS1947

In our way to Millaa millaa fallsTFTC(log still wet)

Just getting back in to Geocaching after several years break, and did this one in conjunction with Em&Dunc. Fairly easy find.

Quick and easy find. Sadly, the log book has some water damage, so will need some maintenance.

Tftc. Very wet. Needs replacing

A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT.Now with a detour to Thursday Island.TFTC. A bit of a slip slide in the mud with the caravan. Nice quick find.

Travelling through so an easy pull off with a van. Not sure about this rain but not going to let a little water stop us. I did check the letterbox first, just in case, just a toy train! Spotted the nice size container quickly after.

Thank you kids loved it.

Nice easy one with the kids.

TFTC. Quick easy find.

It's always nice to find an oldie.We were travelling in this area after we left QOGM 2023 in Longreach, then to Mount Isa and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Now we stopped here for a break and a smiley.We found the cache and signed the log.Tftc bluelens

Out and about with TBU1Bikesu for more smileys Tftc bluelens

Staying near Yungaburra in the caravan, for a few days. Exploring the surrounding area today.

Last one for the day, just as the rain arrived.

A slightly odd location, I felt like we were in someone garden

A nicely sized cache.

Tftc

After rain, we have sun. A good opportunity to start searching for caches again.

A quick find in dreadful weather but we were soaked through hours ago. So hardly notice it now.3 bluelens

We have driven past many times but weren’t quiet sure if it was in someone’s front yard or not. Turns out, it’s not (it’s in a public park). Cache was an easy find but we did have a bit of trouble getting the lid off. Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC

Was so cool seeing this fen
Was not sure if I would find it being 6 months from last find
Up In Atherton for camping

Looked in both gardens DNF

It always nice finding and old cache and the gate was quite odd to find here

In the area with Selva Girls picking up some caches as we head north. Cache was found and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for me and others to enjoy.

Konie and i were continuing our geocaching adventures, heading north. We stopped by this cache and found the cache after a short search. Names added to the log, everything returned as found, then we were on our way again. TFTC

Found after a little look around the entrance, having lunch in the park next door, nice little spot, tftc

I found it

I though we were in someone's yard, but it was behind this fence.

Great find. Well hidden but found reasonably easily. Had to go bushbashing a little as there was a large spiderweb across the obvious path. TFTC.

We had driven past this location on our previous visit, but had not realised there was a geocache here.
Today we had the opportunity to visit, and fair to say that this one took quite a bit of searching before we finally found the container. We had looked in the exact area, but had somehow overlooked the hide and container.
It was a welcome find and big smiles when finally we had it in our hands.
Thanks bluelens

Was well hidden for a large cache, as it was not in the obvious spot. Took a tb, tftc.

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 48. Atherton Day 3. My third day trip was to the Malanda area. There was a set of Labs here and another waterfall to visit. A nice walk around town took me to three local caches before heading to the surrounding area. A nice chat with a local cacher who rescued me at one cache. Next was Millaa for lunch and a few caches, including one I failed last month. The day ended with a final Lab at Evelyn and home via a final earth cache.

I am surprised there were so many places to search given the size of this container. At least I found it in the end, just as it started to rain.

Thanks for the cache bluelens

We spent a small amount of time looking in the wrong garden. Widen search..Bingo . Found the odd blue cache. Tftc.

Took a little while - container was definitely not where we expected. But thankfully had somewhere to sign the log out of the rain. TFTC

We have a lot of caches that we have missed logging. Sorry it has taken so long. The cache was a nice quick find even though it was raining. Thanks for the cache.

Checking out the Atherton tablelands after being inTownsville for the mega.  Did your Eden today.  2 May 2022 12:27 pm Tyfc  bluelens  total caches now  4796  .

Took a while

Just as we got out of the car it started to rain, so the hoped short search didnt happen and we ended up looking in lots of places before budgie found the cache at long last.

This was my first Mega trip in a while now, I had planned to go to the last one in Wangaratta but concerns about COVID made me pull out at the last minute. For this one it was a trip with BudgieTas and GooseandEgg landing in Cairns on the Sunday where we collected a few caches in the dark before driving down to Townsville on the Monday collecting a select few caches along our very indirect route.
While in the Townsville we made the best of our time collecting a few series of caches and searching for some of the older caches on offer, some with lots of favourite points or something we thought maybe a bit different, along with all that we got to go to all the Mega events and meet up with cachers old and new, spending Thursday with Greg going round Magnetic Island and a bit of time with the Davinells who went out of their way to welcome the Tasmanians to Queensland.
All to soon it came to an end and we drove down to Mackay on the Monday again collecting caches along the way before flying home on the Tuesday Morning.
Thanks for the warm (sometimes too hot) welcome Queensland until next time!

Thanks for the cache.

We were focused on the wrong side of the driveway for a while but with no luck we widened our search in the rain until budgietas called out those two words we like - 'fount it'.
Thanks bluelens

A ten day mega trip was arranged with Stainless steel rat and Budgietas. We flew into Cairns and out of Mackay, with the majority of the time in and around Townsville. We found a huge variety of caches and although our find count was a little lower than we would have liked, some of the high D/T caches more than made up for that. I really appreciate the effort of the local COs and all the people involved in hosting the mega and associated activities. I enjoyed catching up with many of our caching buddies, and make some new ones too!
Thanks for a great mega trip!

A tricky little cache to find, but we came up with the goods after a short search

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This cache was found as part of a trip with GoosenEgg and Stainless Steel Rat to Far North Queensland for the Townsville Mega. The trip started in Cairns and ended in Mackay, and allowed us to find some ripper caches inbetween.
We managed to complete some of the Breaking Bad cache series until we driven back to the car due to the heat, and the Saint and most of the book series. There were some good variety in both these series which kept them interesting.
One of the highlights (although a low light when removing the mud) was the walk on the salt flats outside Townsville to get the challenge caches
Another highlight was Magnetic island, where other than some great views, we managed to spot two koala's in the wild.
Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache that was part of our trip

Found today with the kids great easy find TFTC

Wow nice big container. Nice spot. Quick find. TFTC

Found it... I was definitely ‘blind’ the last time I had a look for this one. Probably expected something smaller and not a sunny shade .... it’s just the opposite TFTC

20/10/21 Find #5096
Today was going to be a bit of a higgledy piggledy day of caching adventures for Fangsoki and I, involving a number of multi caches and other caches we had on our list but just hadn’t had a chance to get to over the past couple of days.
We pulled up here and did begin to question ourselves before heading over to begin the search. With no luck, we went back to the geomobile to re-gather our senses, when along comes someone in his vehicle, winds the window down and says to me “I’m here to see Shane”. All I could manage was “yep, just head straight up”. Hope it all worked out
Then back Fangsoki and I went for another search, and Fangsoki quickly spotted the prize.
Log signed, we headed off before we heard anymore about old Shane.
Thanks for the cache bluelens.

1MinnieMoo and I pulled up for this one next.

So - we looked at GZ. What is it? An easement? I began to feel uncomfortable while we looked around. I read the previous logs. I am going to go with the sentiment of Bundyrumandcoke and Dunmowin. It feels like private property, looks like private property.. it probably is private property.

A car drove in as we were looking around. Oh lordy. Old Mate told 1MinnieMoo to go and say gudday to "Shane". Good-o.. whoever a Shane is. We regrouped to the car and checked the previous logs. I decided to grow some tars and decided to check from a more bold point of view. There it is! I don't think I have signed a cache so fast. We rehid the cache and we were out of there quicker than a rat up a drainpipe.

I was personally uncomfortable with this one. But I managed to conquer my demons and find the beast. I am glad to cross this one off. Incidentally, this cache is currently the 519th oldest active cache in Queensland (a place shared with 3 other people). TFTC bluelens

Our first stop on a big Geocaching day. We did only find a fraction of the caches planned for today but that is quite normal. No problem finding this container, thanks to the weather there was hardly anyone around even on a Sunday.
TFTC

Finally after second attempt. For those having trouble, inside not out.
Thanks

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the northern tip of Australia. Traveling up through central Queensland on my own, I met up with e.gregory1 and a non-cacher friend for the rest of the trip northwards to Cape York Peninsula, finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache bluelens!

Found on a trip to Cape York with FeatherWaite and another friend.

Thanks bluelens for the cache.

Tftc

Found it second time round

Lots of slip and sliding in the mud but was an easy find

DNF Don’t feel comfortable crawling around someone’s garden. Had a good look but we couldn’t find.

Grey nomads, currently spending time caching in far north Queensland. We have had enough of Cairns and hankering to get back on the road again. Finally up on the tablelands, caching in and around.

Took two attempts at this cache before and after lunch but no find. What is this place anyway?

Took a little longer than expected, but it was a pretty good cache.

Found pretty quick! Cheers

Naah. This one goes against all my caching feelings. Garden beds, unknown if they are private property. The area inside the gate is of unknown status, in spite of the sign beside the road. Not wanting to trespass. Checked the easily accessible spots, but no dice. After checking past logs with no luck, and not wanting to pull someones property apart, we decided to log the DNF.

Cheers

Found TFTC with Barrod.. took a bit of scouting but eventually found.

that's a big cache finally got it tftc

Didn’t find it... raining a bit too much

Found first go! Thanks guys

Thanks guys! 3rd time lucky!

Got wet in the rain but managed to find it

tftc. My first ever geocash with bretto77

Did not find but raining hard

Dnf

Found with LJB54 after a stop to stretch our legs. Had a bit of a light drizzle when we arrived at GZ and used the overhead cover to our advantage and soon had this cache in hand.

Like large caches like this one and container had a bit of moisture in it. We tried to dry as best we could before returning to its hide but not sure how successful we were long term considering it was raining ️ TB visit, SL TNLN TFTC

On our northern trip to the tablelands we made our second attempt to find this Geo cache as last time it was pouring rain and it hindering our search. We found the cache this time still in the dampness of weather. This cache is very moistened so we did some quick maintenance as the log is too wet to sign. Left a new log book in a clip lock bag to try and protect it from the moisture. TFTC.

Thanks to the two dutchies for the paper.

The mini rats have been away on holidays with the Rats on another fantastic family holiday. We made it all the way to Cape York and along the way we found this cache. Thanks for adding to the thrill of our holiday.
Sorry the log is a standard template style.

The Rats and mini rats have just returned from an amazing 6-week adventure to Cape York. Along the way we had time to stop and grab a big handful of caches, some of our finds were in the remotest parts of Australia. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing your cache, you've all contributed to us having a great holiday. Apologises for the generic log.
TFTC

Found but very wet and logbook can't be used anymore, we left some new paper
Really needs some more attention

Needs maintenance, everything is wet inside
Temporary left some paper for logging

I visited Eden today
Or at least somebody's idea of it
But after a bit of poking around,
I couldn't find the cache

The nearby muggle pumping the sewage out of Eden's septic tank wasn't helping !! [:o]

The navigation was really off and not accurate, we looked in a lot of possible places but no luck
Hopefully others will be successful

First time looking didn't find

Die weitere Reise führte uns heute nach Rose Wildernews Retreat. Fast alle Cache waren von dem Unwetter der letzten Zeit sehr nass. Viele haben uns aber auch die schönsten Orte der Region gezeigt. Wir danken für s Legen und Pflegen und Grüße aus Berlin und Rheinsberg.

Tyftc..dropped traceable

Found with dad bretto77

Found with cuz bretto77

Found nice big container ..got catchers best friend tb

This is the first cache of the trip I can't remember (this log is being written a month after the find). It must have been a straight forward find and sign.

Thanks for the cache bluelens.

Found easily. Left TB. TFTC!

Found Ok

Touring through the Tablelands from WA and found this one. TFTC

Thanks for the hide, a quick find while travelling through!

Very messy in there. Replaced container and log. TFTC

That was easy, almost couldn't get the lid off !
Thanks!

TFTC.

Tftc

TFTC. Lid is missing and open to the elements, but it is in a place that it might not catch to much rain.
