Cassowary Country DIDO Mossman, Queensland, Australia
By Team Robins on 04-Dec-07. Waypoint GC17T9F

The cache has gone missing, sorry to say.

I have Archived this cache due to past records

Will go for a look see.

No evidence of a cache in the railing. Based on previous log I would say it has gone to the land of dead caches

We drove up from Speewah today and found this cache. Well what we found were cache like contents scattered around the end railing. Contents included a Ned Kelly keyring, a highlighter , plastic pineapple etc. It may need checking up on.

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.6. A nice drag up the hill. A great lookout and a cache to keep it company. Thanks.

I am pretty sure there were no coins in this cache, maybe the owner should mark them as unknown location.

Great little Cache

A lovely lookout and view. This cache made us take a different road back to Cairns, but was a lovely drive.
Picked up travel bug. Left ball. TFTC

Lovely view from here. We enjoyed it for quite a long time while some muggles had their lunch and many others came and went. Tee's bug TB is staying here. Hope she brings someone else as much good luck as she brought us.

Nice stop enroute. I like these DIDO caches I've found in the area. Will start a few in New Zealand. Different caching across the ditch. Come over and see us.

Here visiting from NZ with Indiana Jill. On our way we stopped to grab this one - Wow great view, Great container too. Thanks for the adventure that this gives us to see the country side of Queensland. Left Kiwi flag. TFTC!

Found this one while touring the country side. What a view! Left My TB take me home. Be good to see him travel to each state then return to Bendigo in Victoria. TFTH and for showing us this view!

No TBs here, but a great view anyway!

Thanks!

Nice hiding spot, but one Toyota troopy was right beside it. Waited and waited but driver was solving worlds problems on his mobile. Eventually just did a discreet walk-by and grab. By time we had logged and walked-by and replaced again, worlds problems had still not been solved. Wonder if next person top log this finds the vehicle still there?

Headed past to do a geocoin swap but alas no coins or bugs here???? A geocoin drop it was. TFTC

very nice view at night, especially with a night like the one; the stars, the lights from Mossman... the dark sea, the sounds from the forest; great spot; easy cache, no muggles at that time of day;

Easy find, but replacing the cache took a while, with a constant stream of muggles parking, gawking, and moving on. Well, except one couple who decided to take their sweet time (why does that always happen when you've got the cache in your hands??). Swapped signature item for an appropriate similar item. Saw no trackables, however, if I recall accurately.

What a great hiding spot. Sadly no view as we were up in the clouds.

The ride on he road to the cache was worth the visit. Why do bikers stop here to have meaningful conversations. They muggled us up a bit. TFTC

As the crow flies from Mossman 5 Km...as the road goes, 10 Km...TFTC

Grabbed this one while driving by, great view. TFTC.

A very quick find on our way up to Mount Molloy and Mareeba. took a shell, left a penny. TFTC.

Nice place, specially so early in the morning! Nice hide!

TFTC Coin Swap

Greets from The Netherlands

Dropped by for a geocoin swap. T: 2 x geocoin L: 2 x geocoin. Ta

Had to do a Team Robins cache while up this way. Dropped by to grab this on the way back down fron the Daintree and Mossman Gorge.

Mrs Gunnie69 wanted to drop by the Shannonvale fruit winery which was very conveniently located on the same road...

Took 2 x Coins (ICU & Little Aussie GPS) plus Rock TB.
Left 2 x Coins (Zcoin Travel coin & Radionuts Kiwi Coin)

Cheers

Gr8 views TN left SS Gt Britain book mark.
Really liked the container.

Heading past so dropped in for a geoswap. thanks

Had this loaded in the GPS so wanted to do it after meeting you. You just won't believe what I saw from that lookout........ TFTC + dragon coin (228)

Great View, found on a day spent touring the area. TNLN

Just came down from an overnight stay at Devil's Thumb. Made a detour doing this one on our way back to Goldsborough. It is a clear and superb view down to the Pacific Ocean from up here.

It took us a litte while to find the right way in but after that it was a short drive and an even shorter walk and the cache was ours.

Thanks The goons for showing us this excellent camping area that has been locked away for future reference

Our second ever find and third ever location. We were rapt that it was so easy to find. After just leaving Mossman George and not finding it, the kids were so happy here. The kids at this point kept calling it Geo cash, and wonder when we will strike it rich lol. In the cache, we found... A Dainiele Val?? calling card, a clear plastic shell, a plastic purlpe starfish, a black dice, a whit dice, a small hi bounce ball, a little painted rooster, a small plastic pokemon, a real shell with Weroamine written on it, a Matchbox car jeep (which is uncanny, cause at our last find we put in a matchbox car, and a Geocoinfest Multi-event coin, whch we are relocating. We left, a Rural Fire keyring, two firefighter in training tattoo and a couple of Minties, "Moments like these you need Minties" This is airtight, so we gathered it would be safe. Good Luck!

Nice easy find. Swapped Geocoins. TFTC.

Found triumphantly by Val of Danielc's group. Stopped on way up the Rex back home after a day at the beach. Found easily with the clue. We were all tired and no one was about to search without the clue.
Took bracelet left toy car. TFTC.
Cheers, and Good Hunting!

Nice easy find and a great view. TFTC. TNLN.

Retrieved the cache during a lull in muggle arrivals. Enjoyed the view out to the far beach. Thanks for another cache in the region. SL. TNLN.

No Cassowaries, but plenty of cache. Thanks

A few muggles around, but none stayed long. Easy find, hope it stays hidden.

Had read about this one, and knew it was unavailable, and didn't even had the coordinates in the GPS, but on a whim while passing a likely area, I stopped and had a quick look, and what do you know, there it was! I can report to the owner that maintenance is not needed at the moment! Thanks Team Robins

Rated: for Overall Experience

Back up and running with a new container, thanks Searchwise015 for the effort.

Just temporarily disabling this cache whilst we carry out some maintanence

I must have found this just before Team Robins took it out for maintenance . Found the cache easily but it wasn't that easy to replace given the frequent arrival of muggles. I liked the container.

A few seconds to find this drive-through cache.
The container needed maintenance indeed.
TFTC.

Had to use the hint to find this one as the co-ords placed me in the centre of the railing.

Short Drive up to claim this cache. A great view of where we had spent the day before we drove back down and dashed off home.

This is NUMBER 200 for us, yippeeeee. Did not see jubb jubb or gubb gubb but a cousin of theirs was there today instead. great views, managed to return cache just before nice tourist came to take photo's, no cassowary to see, sad. T stickers L purple starfish and green dino. TFTC

Nice view this one. I have enjoyed it many times.

1610 Had enjoyed a beautiful day out from Cairns, and decided to grab one cache on the return trip. I wasn't far out when I said to Mrs C that it would be twice the distance that GPSr told us it was in a straight line. Windy!!
Hopefully someone can replace the container along the line so that is a bit more waterproof. Left a pen.
TFTC Great for photos.
PS Brought through Hammer Head Shark and 'I Love Cologne' TB's for extra mileage.

Enjoyed the drive there. T car & keyring, LN.

Easy find with clues spot on. TNLN. TFTC.

Didn't realise that the DIDO would be quite so long and windy we we set out but it was worth it for the great views. A quick find. TFTC. - TB

Great views, easy find. Didn't open the cache TNLN, TFTC.

Little dolphin swam a long way stopping off at the Great Barrier Reef. Now taking a break with a nice view!

Oh yeah this was an easy cryptic find in a picturesque location. It was hard to put the cache back when a muggle parked right next to the locale though so I had to wait a while. TFTC TNLN

On a long 1 month holiday, we travelled from Cairns to Sydney by campervan. While driving 4000 km, we tried to stop at some of the caches along the way. Finding every cache along the way was not the objective as there are so many caches in Queensland. It would take at least several months to do all of them. On our trip, we have visited 29 cache locations and found 19. This is the 6th cache on our journey.

Easy found. The hint in the description was obvious and helped us to find it in no time.

A quick easy find on the way down the range.
Took Aussie keyring
Left Hot wheels car

Heading past so i thought I would check on any water damage. None so all is well. TFTC TNLN SL

What a nice spot. I have been coming passed here for years and didn't even know about this cache until a recent search for nearby caches revealed this little beauty. Indeed a great spot. GeoKids had a ball trying to find it. I got them to decrypt the clues. Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks for GeoCaching.

WOW, What a great view from here. Stopped while no one was around and as soon as we started to look about 6 cars pulled up. Luckily they were all looking at the scenery. Did a quick swap and Log.
