Yes, yes I know this one is archived, but the container is still there in the garden bed. Contents look particularly nasty and if I had known that this cache had been archived I would have brought it home.

We were wandering through the gardens after a visit to the Tanks Markets and we walked past the spot and I remembered we had a DNF at that spot. Peered into the space and noticed a suspicious looking bit of plastic pipe.

Good bye to a great spot. Archived.

Could not find.

Looks like this one has been muggled.
Until I can get over to the cache it will be disabled.
Stop Looking!

Not from trying as this was our first one ever

Not for want of trying!

Beautiful place, lookout on a wedding, fantastic weather. TFTC

Tftc!

Quick and easy find. 4th Cache for the day. First time walking through the Botanical Gardens and I will absolutely be coming back when I am next here. Just amazing. Thankfully there were few muggles to cause any problems today.

TFTC, love the amazing creatures on Nature nearby.

Very nice spot goodxache spot

Distance from original: 100.1 feet or 30.5 meters.
Moved cache location due to it being too close to the gardeners hose etc. Now in a more secluded area that should make finding it a breeze.

All good to go!

Found this ages ago pre-movement sometime December

Very wet to sign. Maybe because it was situated near the bubbler back then, but I don't know now…

TFTC

Tried this one on 5th of march just before we could read that is needed some repairs. Didn't find any more reflectors once we were in the garden. Thought we saw one small reflector on a tree but after a closer look it was a spider. Great atmospere for a cache!

Will check on this one when the rain stops....

Must have just been cache blind today. In between muggles we searched every nook and cranny and branch but no luck.. we will return

Log to wet to sign.

Sooo easy the clue gives it away

Log book Wet

Beautiful gardens that are cool on a hot day. Log book is too soggy to sign.

The little one found it first

Thank you for this cache...
Geo daughter Kate and Ivan: oP.

Easy find but to wet to sign

Found without any trouble once some muggles moved on to look at some other sights. What a beautiful garden!

Great start to my weekend in NQ. I love these gardens and try to stroll through them every time I visit "The Deep North". Log book a little damp. TFTC

Found this cache which geobuddy Adreilly whilst on holidays in Cairns. The Botanical Gardens are absolutely beautiful and lucky for us, the corpse flower was blooming too - something you don't get to see very often. Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing us here.

PS. The cache has gotten a bit soggy, so may need a bit of weather proofing.

TFTC. =)

Tftc thought it was a sprinkler at first.

Found it

Looked a long time but couldn't find it. but still the gardens are great.

10:00. Logged it with Cachebox!

#366 Ha! you came and made a FTF on my cache Willowbank Park recently.

We were up in Port Douglas for the last few days and came down to Cairns on Sunday morning to spend the morning there. Came to the Botanical Gardens after leaving Rusty's markets. I was going crazy with all the munzees around here, but managed to fit this cache in as well. Due to reading the description and hint and previous logs, I was pretty sure I had the cache. Got to GZ and there were some muggles nearby. I managed to grab it without making too much of a commotion and then signed the log. I replaced the cache as the muggles were leaving so I didn't have any problems putting it back.

Thanks for the cache Spinmeout! TBs visited

4 of 6 for the day. Spending more time eating and drinking than geo caching methinks - teenage grandsons take a lot of looking after. Another very interesting cache. TNLN SL TFTC

We found it after a few seconds search. Thanks

Found it on our holiday in australia

GPSr led to the wrong side of the stream but we soon found the "refreshment" stand. Found with the help of our local cousins. My first find in Australia. Thanks for the hunt.

It really is beautiful here.
Thanks for showing us the way.

Greetings from Belgium

Ha got a little wet by accident, stashed a glow stick tight fit! Clever container!

Hey. Found it after I walk the Rain Forest Walk, the Botanic Gardens and the Red Walk Track to the Mountain. Tftc

We found the cache lying unhidden near the coordinates on the earth. We've put it between the stones of the “refreshing place“ ...we hope that was its original location!
Greetings from Germany!

Just off the path, a beautiful place to visit!! TFTC

Hard,but found it.Have to go a fair bit off the path.

Not sure if this cache is still in its original position but its current location defiantly doesn't match the description! I had to leave the path to retrieve it. Not far off the path but still off a little.
TFTC.

Plenty of muggles enjoying the botanical splendor today. Great gardens and walking trails to be had. Well worth the visit. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC!

Such a nice walk in the park. TFTC

Found this one with missus k. Quite easy in the end.

Found it with notboggedyet

Sister vombatus made a quick grab and found the cache. What a nice place everyone should visit during a stay in Cairns. TFTC

vombatus ursinus

Easy find nice day

Standing looking and pondering the universe I heard the words not cache looks forward to. "SECURITY SIR" - oh dear what had I done , what am I going to say. Then he goes on - "just letting you know the gates shut in 10 minutes and can you please make your way out." Yes, I was evicted from the park but not due to caching. Fortunately I managed to grab the cache before my 10 minutes ran out.

Looked for half an hour. Couldn't find. Must return to continue the search!

Found with Kool Running while visiting from the South Coast of WA. Nice cache found a lovely walk into the gardens. Easy find after resorting to the hint as GZ was a bit out.

Found with Coast’n Along, refer to log from Coast’n Along.

tried hard with lots of looks from other visitors, but could not locate it.

Found some months ago but must have forgotten to log it. Fortunately remembered exactly where as this one stumped me before. Watch out for the water pressure of the nearby feature! TNLN TFTC.

Up from Tassie enjoying a couple of warm weeks in FNQ. The Botanic Gardens are a great place to learn a bit about the local flora. Lots of muggles here, but stood around pretending to look at our map while we searched for the cache, works everytime!! TFTC.

Tftc, it was beautiful:-)

Nice and refreshing! Thanks for the cache.

Found while in Cairns, on our travels around Australia.
A quick find, with no muggles in view.
Thanks for the cache, Spinmeout.

Found during a long trip around Australia. Thanks for showing us such an interesting place.
Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Our last cache in Australia ;-( Enjoyed the beautiful walk in the garden.

Found with Lauren and Steven on their very 1st geocaching experience. Lauren's first find
TFTH!

TFTC Spinmeout. Finally got back to it.

2192. The last one on my morning stroll. An easy find with no muggles around. The rain may have helped in that regard. TFTC.

3rd in the gardens. TFTC

Many many muggles out and about. After patiently waiting for an interruption in the flow I zipped in a grabbed it. Then had to wait to put it back.

TFTC

To much muggles around

After a while there was a muggle free intermezzo and I took the opportunity to have a better look. And there it was!

Spent some time looking for this cache and could not find it.

Quick find between muggles; TFTC

A couple of laps of the red arrow to wake up then time for a spot of caching. This was my second attempt at this cache with my friend and we found it! TFTC

Tftc

Very nice place to see. Tftc.

Today we visit the Botanical Gardens of Cairns, We traveled by bus from Cairns
to the location aand we dropped of between two busstations. It,s impossible
to get out of the bus between two busstops in The Netherlands. But here it's a extra service of the locals

The area here is very beautifull and so we've enjoyed it and made a lot of
pictures there. After doing that we take a lunch on the restaurant in the
Garden and fresh of all we find this cache after a short search.

Thanks for hiding and maintaining it in this very nice area

Easy and qucik find, although it was quite muddy, rainy and slippery. At least there were no muggles at all.
Thanks for grading up my visit at the botanic gardens !

Beautiful day to hang in the shade with a hangover

I didn't think it was that humid until I landed myself in amongst the most beautiful tropical gardens I have seen. What a great place and I can see why the locals get to here so often.

With pack in hand I made my way into the depths of the forest in search of the prize.

Fortunately muggle traffic was a bit slower today so I was able to use that to my advantage. All that was left now was to fend off the aggressive pushy scrub turkey. Using my imagination (as cachers are famous for) he turned and admitted defeat. I wanted the cache more than he wanted me - lol

TFTC Spinmeout Cache and container all in good order

Auf unserer Erkundungstour in Cairns diese Dose gefunden.
Danke fürs Verstecken

Beautiful walk around the gardens not done it for a bit, had forgotten what a great place of beauty it is

No sign of TB in this cache ;(

A lovely spot to stop and refresh in a beautiful location. TFTC.

Eight months in Australia means a lot of geocaches! All these caches really showed me nice spots all around the country. Thank you for this one & greetings from Germany

Found the GZ easy enough. SL TFTC

On a week long trip to Cairns and Innisfail. Began today with caches near to our accommodations. Weather much drier than yesterday in Brisbane! Good location, quick find. Quite clever, nearly missed it.
TFTC

Went for a wander through the Botanical Gardens this morning and replaced the cache.
A lot of work has been done in the area so please replace the cache so that it is not discovered accidentally.
All good to go.
Happy Hunting.

My FTF!... A new log book. TFTC

In the process of making a new cache container, Will drop it off this weekend.
Sorry for the delay.

Hi Spinmeout. Please check on this one as there have been recent path and irrigation work in the area. Perhaps this is why I could not find it? Drop me a message if all is good please so I can try again. Thanx.

We will disable for now, until we can confirm cache is still in play.
Keep posted!

Loads of muggles - no find staying on path

Found this one.
TFTC

Probably took a little while longer than it should have. Was looking for something smaller than actual. Here and next door have some good birds including Papuan Frogmouth, Little Kingfisher, Fig parrots, Lovely Fairy-wren, and there have been recent reports of Rufous Owl.

Just trying to track all the caches I've done with a TB

A somewhat quik find by whilst mrsbiggles58 was at an appointment. Waited for a bus load of Korean tourists to take endless photos off a refreshment spot before the GZ was logged. SL TNLN TFTC

Tried a couple of times to approach this one but there were workers digging up GZ and replacing a water storm drain thingy. Hope its still there.

Beautiful screary, a must see.

No wonder we DNF it two times before it was not even there saw that you replaced it and found it put the log book in a small zip loc bag incase any water were to get in there TFTC

We were out today checking on our caches, this one had not been reported as missing, but we were going to replace the cache container anyway.
Arrived at GZ to find a lot of cleaning has been done in the gardens close by and the cache was missing. I am guessing it has been taken away in the garden waste. Throughly checked the area, but could not find the cache. Luckily we had a spare logbook and pencil, and container to replace it.
Have reinstalled it to its original spot and hidden it better. Please rehide it as found, so that it doesn't get muggled again.
All good to go. Happy Hunting.
