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.
Cool *{Overall find #10757}* Cool

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

**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 Smile

16/10/21 Find #5052
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.

All good here, I don't know what the fuss is about Smile
 
26-Sep-20
All good here, dunno what the fuss is
 
30-Aug-20
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

Fullboar>

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 45 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

No problems finding this cache Big Grin
The pine cones didn't help though [:o]
I found the cache,
well away from any deep holes that have been mentioned Smile
And have re-hidden the cache in the place that I found it,
and put the pine cones back where they belong Big Grin

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.

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.

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.
