I have visited this site numerous times an have always come away with a sad face After contacting owner Fullboar> for a maintenance check and requesting to replace the container if possible. Permission granted, and I have now managed to replace the container today. The sensitive weed is out of control along the wall and is almost one meter high in some areas. TFTC and assistance Fullboar>
In the area with geo-buddies so of course geocaching was the thing to do. Eagle-eyes BM75 spotted this one. Thanks for the cache.
Cheers

Headed north with Crew 153 and Fangsoki, chasing old caches, celebrating life. This was on our list and was an easy find today.
Thanks StopTheWorld maintained by Fullboar for entertaining me at this location.

Pprime and Fangsoki arranged a trip to the Torres Straits to celebrate my upcoming 75th birthday, We stopped in Cairns on the way home for a day of caching.
This oldie was on our list. Fangsoki had found it last October but he left it to Pprime and I to find it by our selves.
It took a couple of walks along the wall before I spotted the cache. It appears that it has been replaced since Fangsoki found it.

More of a CICO for me while out cycling. Up in Cairns from SA for a few days so tool the opportunity to find some caches. As per previous finder, log too mushed to be retrieved from container and/or signed. TFTC
Cut spot for a pine cone. Very easy find. I only had trouble getting the log out as wet and pieces falling apart so couldn’t sign it. Photo sent to CO
Finally turned blue to smiley. Home in Cairns now for a couple of months after 10months tripping around Australia. Attended Qogm in Cunnamulla and mega in Townsville great trip. Did your Pining on the Wall in the Forest DIDO today. 20 June 2022 12:43 pm Tyfc StopTheWorld maintained by Fullboar total caches now 4848 .
Found it! Out and about with WayneO and very happy to finally add our names to this log and avenge this DNF! TFTC
**S 16° 58.608' E 145° 44.144**
1MinnieMoo and I decided to try to grab this geocache next.
We looked at the most recent logs. It seems like not an easy find. Not sure what the fuss comments with smiley faces are supposed to mean...
1MinnieMoo and I parked up as near as we could to where the coords and started our hunt. After about 20 minutes, I, thankfully, unveiled the prize. It was half-buried in the dirt. The hint does not seem to be applicable anymore - perhaps that's why there appears to be so many DNFs on this cache - so maybe that could be changed? Also this cache is listed as a small. It's very far from small - in my opinion. More like a micro in my books.
The log was an irrecoverable sodden mass. We replaced it with a new bit of paper and re-hid the container as found.
I am happy we could cross this one off. I have placed my version of the coords up (admittedly taken with a smartphone!) in case this helps others. This cache is currently the 611th oldest active cache in Queensland (it shares the place with another shared on the same date). TFTC StopTheWorld and Fullboar for the maintenance

Unsure of our luck, Fangsoki and I decided to take a shot at this cache. We pulled the car up right next to GZ, and with no one around, began looking and poking in all the obvious spots. We probably did this about 4 times each in each place and began to seriously doubt we would find it, when Fangsoki came out triumphant with a very muddy cache in hand. Sadly, despite very careful efforts, the logsheet was not salvageable - it was soaked and smelled like vomit (which my hands did now too). A creature has nibbled the lid of the container, which is obviously where the water was able to get in. We looked around the car and found an envelope which we tore a piece of paper off to use temporarily as replacement logsheet.
Thanks for the cache Fullboar>.

Too many holes in two many rocks, hint does nothing to help, difficulty rating should be a lot higher but tyfc.
Cache checked, still there, log damp and replaced......................
What I don't understand is how my cache can get disabled from a few mostly Noob's logging a DNF when a Cache like Rocket https://coord.info/GC6WXYP has had 89 DNF's in less than 4 years from experienced cachers and only 2 requests for owner maintenance.
Two sets of rules
Go ahead and archive if you wish

7/7/20 105pm DNF Had a good search in the holes and no find. Found a empty container at GZ thst may have been it.
Too many deep holes and too many leaves and pine needles for us to try find it. Hopefully we will have better luck next time
No problems finding this cache
The pine cones didn't help though [:o]
I found the cache,
well away from any deep holes that have been mentioned
And have re-hidden the cache in the place that I found it,
and put the pine cones back where they belong
TFTC.

Used my extendible stick to poke in the wall. Was a Quick find. Nice neighbourhood. Thanks for the hide and grtz from Holland
What a great park! Not so great that the heavens opened as soon as I got here, a quick find nonetheless. TFTC!0
On our Tour today, we can find this cache.
Greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Found two caches in the same spot. One tiny GC very excellently hidden,as well as managing to hide the other GC.
I managed to fit a little ring in the 2nd GC as a GK treasure find. Thanks for this, this was lovely.

While waiting for my mate to get home I thought I’d kill a bit of time caching. TFTC
My muggle husband and I are on holidays from Melbourne and we are staying in Cairns for two weeks. With only a couple of days left before we start driving home I wanted to find a few more caches.
My husband stayed in the car while I did the quick search, sign and revise.
Thank you Fullboar> for this cache.

After getting a bit lost in the housing estate we had a reasonably quick find considering the area at gz.

Wombles was quick to discover this sneaky but creative beasty.

We pulled up to this cache which was an easy find for us and our log was the only one for todays date and others had already logged for today before us but could not find in the log.
TNLNSL Thanks Stoptheworld, Fullboar All good with this cache

Finally found this one. Have visited a couple of time. Compass is always off, but this time spot on. It’s definitely hard to find. Found with Team Geopup
DNF we looked over the whole rock wall and couldn’t find the geocache at all it may have washed away from all the rain
Another great find pu $1 in for some geo kids to get lollies good luck guys container lid pops of easy might need an upgrade
TFTC. Nice day out with the kids geocaching. A little bit tricky to be stealthy at this time of day, but managed to get it and place it back safely.
Number 3 for the morning, out and about with the family. Another great hide and well thought out cache
Perseverance paid off today! Been looking for this one a few times before. Great container. Thanks

First full day in Cairns visiting my beautiful granddaughter as we continue our meandering across northern Australia after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. As the kids are at work, I decided to tackle some caches in the local area.
This was the third cache that I tried this morning. Spent far too much time on this one and resorted to checking out a previous photo to narrow the search area. I eventually found the cache 13m west according to Monty, aka my GPSr. Well first I found the bottom of a container, then a very muddy lid and last of all the geocaching identification. I signed a new log and replaced it all in the hidey hole where I found it.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Thank you to Fullboar> for adopting this geocache and keeping it alive for other geocachers to find.
Today we left Cairns and headed back to Atherton to find the caches that we had not done since our last visit and this was one of them. Took a while and then Mr "T" made the find.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

TFTC...very easy find! Nice little hiding spot. Geokids took out some treasures and replaced them. Great spot!
Had a pretty good look - found some pine cones in a hole but no cache. Maybe we just couldn't see it for the drizzly rain?!
Excellent location - had to use some serious stealth to achieve it with all the muggles about - great for the kids
Find #1506. Found @ 16:40.
I'm holidaying nearby with the family and took a little break to find a cache or two. To add an extra element of caching fun to the holiday, I made 3 trackables (one for each of my kids and myself) which will race back home. I released the second in this cache.
I parked across the road from GZ and went straight to it. I love a quick find.
Took nothing, left nothing, released a trackable, signed log and visited some other trackables.
Thanks for the cache StopTheWorld.
