No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache [red]in the next couple of months[/red], just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Had a quick 20min look didn't want to waist to much time since there are so many DNF

We failed to find this twice (once on the way to Ayr and again on the way back) After so many DNF's and an obvious hiding spot, this one needs archiving so that others don't waste their time as we have. [:(!]

Could not spent a lot of time, but could not find the cache even after a good look

Bahms6 searched high and low, under and around, inside and out. 5 other adults and two kids to help but alas no find.

Found g class but nothing else, congrats to the last guy who found it after so many dnfs.

i m so lucky with 3 friend they help each other finally i found it all are full dirty hands

Like the previous few cachers..... No luck with this one.... Seems to have been muggled.. Owner may want to check.

This was the last cache for the day and I couldn't find it. Might need a check on by the owner.

Alas, I too did not find this micro.

Also couldn't find it at obvious spot. I think this one has gone walkabouts. Bummer

Tried to find this one on the 16th August while on my way to Rockhampton. The GPS couldn't get me any closer than 3.5m to GZ. Searched everywhere. A fellow geocacher who found it a couple of years ago told me where it should be which lines up with the hint given but it is not there. Better luck next time.

Well looked twice, both at Night time, but no luck at all. It may have been muggled.

DNF despite a good search.

Perhaps we were a little cocky after finding our first ever two caches, but the three of us spent 15 mins around the area. We were in the right spot alright. We'll have another go later.... 1720-1740hrs Riquelle

Not a drama here, although I will admit it took about 10 minutes to find, but I blame the encroaching darkness for that. Mick and Kazs placement was a little off, not really near the clue, so I have moved it closer to where the clue would apply. First find of our caching weekend in Mackay. Grabbed at 1800hrs.

Searched everywhere particularly near clue but I have to agree, I think this one has been muggled.

friends coco88 found it on 21st but it was nowhere to be found by us on 24th. noticed that Mick and Kaz had found it (removed from GZ) and replaced it. maybe muggled again. have informed owner.

Found this cache sitting on a post 30 metres from wagon in view of anyone walking past. Placed cache back on wagon where my GPS lead me.
Don't know how the cache got on the post.

G that was a sweet find!! Found it after a little serious looking -was watched intently by a muggle-gardener at GZ,guess these days people are a little sus when you appear to be looking at trains so closely ...Anyway job done -on to the next one TFTCx

11:38 AM This was a nice stop on a trip from Townsville to Rockhampton. The sweet smell in the air and a nice walk. TFTC

found at 9.50.

Geowife worked this out.

No problems - especially if you read the clues.

TFTC

Found easily TFTC

Just dropping off our travelling geocoin for km's

Nice quick easy find b4 visiting the sugar cane mill. TFTC.

Found with the Reluctant Companion on a trip to the Sunshine Coast. Quick easy find making a good break from the journey. TFTC.

Not another train, we never have luck with trains, so much metal and so many nooks and cranny's. So without th clue we were just about to give up when number two geo kiddie yelled out .....found it.....cool...so thanks for the hunt

This one was going to be a hit and miss as we were only searching the area because I recalled seeing a listing that fitted the location so we didn't have the coordinates but luckily I had read the clue as that helped a lot. So this was definitely a bonus find. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache.

TFTC

Quick found! TFTC

Easy found. TFTC

We found this one on our way north. Initially had trouble with the hint until we walked around to the other side of the item...then it all made perfect sense. Good hide. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find

Found with geodad Braelair & geobro FireboltCal on our Sydney-Townsville drive. I watched the car while geodad & geobro made the find.

Dipped the trackables travelling north.

TFTC ... TNLN ... SL

Found with geokids BurgerGirl and FireboltCal on the second last day of the great Sydney-Townsville journey. Once you actually follow the hint, it is VERY OBVIOUS, but follow the hint!!!

Dipped the trackables on the way through.

TFTC ... TNLN ... SL

Found this one easy find after a while. and as the clue said it is in a easy place stupid me goes looking for the hardest places...TFTC

Great place to stop and be introduced to the history of the area. TNLNSL TFTC

Just logging through our Geo Disco TB thanks !!

Found on the way from Townsville via Mackay to Gladsone. Nice place to stop funny the hint made sense after I placed the cache back. All is good a GZ interesting feature. Thanks for placing a cache here and giving us an opportunity to stop. TNLN SL

Easy find on our way from Airlie Beach to Rockhampton. We had lunch at the playground on the other side of the river afterwards. Nice place and big factory! TFTC! Bernbom (Denmark) #562

Nice early morning stroll to the cache site, interesting museum...

Found with Triamks at 1.50pm. The clue was helpful. TFTC.

Found with Shell at 13:50. We had to use the clue otherwise we would've walked around it many more times. TFTC.

Interesting info, easy drive by. Found with Temingi. TFTC

No. 5 on a cache dash to Mackay with Qldwarrior. TFTC

Found @1005

Short stop on our way south.

TFTC!

Stopped off and stayed with friends in Sarina. So of course we had to pick this one up. Sarina was nice and green and a welcome change to the many miles of dry scrubland further south. TFTC

Found after a good look at the monument. TFTC Boagsrat.

found it and like others realized what g class related to

We found this cache together with struppi&strolch in the evening on our way to Mackay. The object was very interesting for us! Because of the darkness we had to read the hint... But then it was no problem.

VP244

On our way to Mackay we found this one together with VP244. GZ was a little bit off and because of the dark it took a while, but then we found it.

found it we did not understand the clue but once we got there we figured what the clue ment tftc

1230hrs. Quick find on our way north. Lucky the workers weren't working on the road today. TFTCSL.

Found at 9.10am GAFF3. Our first cache for the day after leaving one of the most beautiful beach camps at Camila Beach. We camped right on the beach and when the tide came in it souned like a river flowing, amazing colours and scenery.
At GZ we looked and looked and for a terrain, difficulty of 1/1 we came up with nothing. Eventually at a distance of 10 metres we found the cache, in a spot that we had previously glanced at.
Thanks Boagsratz.

Our second time around (after we read that others had made this their first cache!). We had over-thought this one, and didn't have the clue the first time around....it really was quite easy when you don't think too hard! TFTFun Travel bug dip for our friend, Cindy, who passed too soon.

Found it on our big trip around Australia. Thanks for all your aussie caches guys. MaJa

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.4. Quite exposed here. Roadworks added ti the challenge, but determined reading lead to gold. Thanks.

my first find. i think im now hooked.

Found it! Matt84 didnt take his friends, we took him! ...he did find it first though, jerk! lol

Yay, my first find! Took a couple of friends and now they're hooked. Thanks!

Short stop. Quick find.

TFTC !

a very helpful clue because there are some many options to hide things on

Charlie and I are here from Oregon, USA, visiting friends and traveling the east coast in a camper van. Searched and searched....so many possibilities to hide a cache here! We cannot believe we are missing it! (But we did come back later and find it

Found during our great holidays in Australia...
Thanks to all australian cachers to help us discover these places!!
Greetings from France!

Found it with Wobbly45 on route to the 2009 Great Endeavour Rally

TFTC - Found on the way to Brisbane

Found this one easily.
as i was walking to it i was wondering what is that smell!!!
how could you live with that aweful smell from the distillery everyday.
and there IS another reason for visiting here... they have the big cane toad in the middle of town
LOL


tftc and the rest stop

On my way south to Moura... what better way to break up the afternoon drive than with some caches. This was the first and possibly the easiest and a long overdue harvest. TFTC

Nice and easy. Thanks Boagsratz.

Nice find on route south TFTC!

It was pouring rain and I mean pouring! So sorry I used the clue to get a quick find. Lucky I could hop underneath where I could shelter from it to fill in the log. TFTC.

A cool and familiar micro hide. The molasses smell from the nearby mill brought back some memories.

We should add that although Sarina may not be the most exciting town.. Sarina Beach had a great place to stay and some good food for our overnight stop!

Thanks Boagsratz.

found with family thanks for the hunt took nuthin left footprints

Found with Matt_Stomper on our way to Townsville for New Years. Had a little bit of a search but after re-reading the clue it was an "obvious place" after all.TFTC

I don't why I haven't learnt but I should read the logs. Easy find after re-reading the instructions. TFTC!!!

This one took a little bit of looking, but found it okay. Mrs Everywhere enjoyed the hunt too. We're on our way to Townsville for Christmas, and the odd geocache along the way makes for a welcome break from driving. Thanks.

This was our one and only geocache on 4000km road trip. Sooo many caches, not enough time. Great spot for a cache though. Have seen this spot many times on the drive through.
SL. TFTC.

What a nice little town.
Cache was a relatively quick find, and great that the Highway doesn't cop a lot of traffic.
I took the log down to the Plane River to fill out and spotted an Azure Kingfisher and a Tortoise.
TFTC

Nice quick easy find at 1645. Clue gives this one away plus GPSr took me straight to GZ. TFTC

Diese Dose war schnell ausfindig gemacht.

On our way we saw a lot of coal long trains and we were wondering about weights and lengths. Now we know.

Very quick find. Interesting spot.

We stopped at the information nearby to get some, guess what!!, information, when I discovered this cache nearby. Thanks to the precise hint, it couldn't hide for long.

Heading north to the Atherton Tablelands with Geo-gran-kids- Scanas2- from Hong Kong. This was the eighth find for the day of 25 for the trip. I learnt very quickly not to get between the cache and the Geo Grand daughter (9yo). Last for the day, travelled fom Monto this morning. Thank good ness I had the grandson to lift the train up so I could find the cache. See pix

Found with Rogainer whilst on a quick break from work. I was beginning to wonder where the cache may be as it wasn't where the clue led me to look. Rogainer happened to spot the cache on the ground.

TFTC

I was literally standing next to this one about a month ago, but didn't realise there was a cache there till I got back to Brisbane.

This trip, we had some spare time, so came back here to look for the cache.

We had a look around, but couldn't find it initially.
I then happened to glance down on the ground and there it was amongst the ballast!!

We signed the log and placed it back to where we think it may have been - based on the clue.

Thanks Boagsratz

An easy find, in a location that i have passed by so many times and never stopped in....except for today.

Thanks for the cache and the chance to read the sign at a much slower speed.

mm

Sorry not this time, searched high and low.

GAFF 3 Have passed this location a few times now not knowing that a cache was there so today was the day to find it NI-NO signed the slightly damp log book.Thanks.

Cache found in the first place the geowife looked.

On yet another trip to Mackay this year kids were getting restless so decided to stop and have a look for this cache. Took no time at all to find. Thanks for the cache. TNLNSL.

Felt like a train mechanic, inspecting the wheels and carraige. Looking in all the difficult spots. Wife spotted it in the most obvious spot. Good cache nice place to rest and watch the cars going by.
Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Entry into log only.

Found with bubblensqueak whilst on our way to Rocky for a quick visit. The hint made this one quite easy,at least for some of us that is, hey squeak.TNLN, TFTC.
