Hello,

It is Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog, once again hopping through your area to check on geocache maintenance.

Please remove any remaining cache components if you have not already done so. If there are questions about the archival or if you would like it to be re-considered for listing please e-mail me or your local reviewer in response to this archival, and we will help to unarchive your cache if possible. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your further participation in the future.

After reading a successful recent find on the cache, I decided to go look for it today, But I could not find the final container. WP1 container is soaked, those film canisters are not very waterproof.

Searched for half hour with no luck at GZ.

Found it both multi caches but too wet both logbooks and caches waterlogged inside.Thank you for organising the cache and hunt.

Tropical Cyclone Hamish may have reeked havoc on WP2 so we will check it out at Easter and replace if needed, Hopefully it is still in place?

Found it but would have found it faster if I trusted my GPS more. TFTC

We had a pleasant walk in the area while visiting Bundaberg for the weekend. TFTC

This cache was found by muggles on 2 December, they signed the log and replaced the cache.
Left two geocoins. TFTC

Interesting cache but had to aviod many snorkeling muggles.

Found at 1400. Did not take long to travel between points. Nice easy find once at GZ. Took toy Left Toy. TFTC

from some of the logs it looked like it needed a maintenance visit but all is well with both containers.
Swapped HomePride Travel bug for the Geoswag coin.

Well, this one has me perplexed. Went to the given coordinates, and found a cache container (film canister) but it had no log book in it. It did have a Geocaching note inside, with a request to sign the back of the note, which I duly did. I was surprised to see no other names signed on the log, given the fact there were a heap of cachers in town for the Bundy event. I assumed that the log had been changed that morning.

Its only when I got back to the motel tonight, and start logging the finds, that I find out that this cache is a multi. Given that fact, I in fact did not find the cache, so therefore cannot, and will not claim a find.

This may be linked to the evnts mentioned in previous logs.

Ahh well, I will try another time.

Cheers

Nice easy multi with great views. Beautiful day in the sun. TFTC

WanderingAus wandered by on day eighty-three of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find. At Waypoint 1 I found a small container with swaps and "Message" papers which seemed to be a cache by "Striker", as well as the expected film canister with the coords for GZ of Paradise Views which proved to be correct.

At Waypoint 2/GZ for Heading to Elliott I found a film canister with small screws and "Message" papers which also seemed to be a cache by "Striker".

My find No 725, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

We looked for this one at Christmas but it was a non-find. Now we are back and the cache is ours. TFTC TNLN SL

We missed this one on our first attempt a month or so ago, but thanks to the recent maintenance, we found the first part of the cache with no problems.

TFTC, it was fun for the kids and I to try a two part cache for the first time.

Move paradise, nearer two parking lots.

Cache back up and running again. The first WP has been moved to a different spot, hopefully less muggable. Also dropped off a TB to get things started again.

The first way point is no longer there
The second way point should still be there .
you need to put the first way point somewhere else
The kids play there at that spot all the time.

will do a maintance visit in a weeks time ( start of school holidays) to see if it's been muggled and replace if needed.
Might need to change WP1 to a more secure spot?

Like others before me I didn't find the first waypoint...

We had no luck with the first cache. Looked for ages but to no avail ... has this cache been muggled or did we simply strike out?

... believe WP1 has gone again.
Looked in the obvious places ... then my car had a little electrical incident [xx(]... so had another 1.5 hrs to look some more, whilst we waited for the RACQ.
No it wasn't just a battery either.
OK we didn't spend the whole time looking ... hope I am wrong, but fairly confident I know where it should have been [?]
thanks - need an excuse to come back here anyway ...
I'll keep an eye on it.

hi all, this was our first multi cache.. now i know what it means lol! found the first cache with the aid of my small child, and the second one was very well hidden. Thank you... we took a small hiking teddy and we left a toy moose.
Thank you.

Another simple fast multi to finish up the day with.
Good clear views, love this part of QLD's Coastline.

Took Nothing,
Left a Hitchhiker - Lucy the Bear

Attention Dirtbikedeva. The first part of the cache has been destroyed, i think by a lawnmower. We found the lid to an Eclipse container and the small piece of paper that had the co-ordinates to the second part cache on the ground in amongst a heap of shreaded paper. So took the co-ordinates and will place in a new container and put back in hidy hole. I think the wind may have blown it down or it was muggled.

Found the second part easily, after a bit of rock moving. Buried quite well. The mountain goating was great fun, especially for 5 yr old Geokid and 6mth old Geopuppy. Had a blast. Ta.... Took jigzaw puzzle, left ring....

It is all fixed up again for now. The co-ordinates are back in a brand new Eclipse tin and I am hoping in the correct spot. Might be a good idea to check though. Ta!!!!

Found it, second for day.. in heavy rain ... problem with mugglers ... all ended up well...... left Chinese coin took nothing

Easily found on a very cold wet windy day. Cyclone brewing up north and the weather down here is pretty windy today. We escaped Grandma and Pop's for a little while - 6 people one house can get a little too close at times - so we escaped to geocache for a while. The grass etc had done quite a good job of covering up the cache. No swaps today. Thanks for an outing on such a miserable day!

rotten day to do anything else so decided to do a maintenance visit today. All is well and discovered we were not the only ones to visit the cache today. Will put some more swaps in tomorrow. Hope the predicted cyclone does not come or does not wash it away!!

This turned out to be a bit of a surprise. A first to find.
Thanks for the opportunity. TNLN.
