Camels Gone Shopping Cairns, Queensland, Australia
By A Herd of Camels on 20-Jun-08. Waypoint GC1DD4A

Cache disabled and archived as cache owner will be moving away from Cairns soon.

Cache will be removed and archived in a few days time.

This cache has gone missing and will not be replaced. Apologies to all those that wasted time in the search. I will be permanently disabling and archiving the cache in a few days time.

I reckon it's been muggled Obvious hide IMHO, but apparently bad karma

On our cruise with the Celebrity Millenium from Miami to Singapore we stayed two days in Cairns. We searched a little bit longer the hiding place. But finally we found the micro. Nice hide. Thanks for the cache!
Greetings from Germany (Dagmar and Bernd)

Visiting Cairns on SS Volendam. As we have been here before we spent time ashore grabbing a few caches. Came to this one and had a quick look but desperately needed a comfort break so we went inside to make use on conveniences. Decided to grab a bite and bought a couple of copies of Windows 8 from Dick Smiths. Went back out to find too many muggles having their gaspers right opposite GZ. So, as time was limited, we headed off. So many caches, too little time.

Found it, but again no magnet with us.

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Cache replaced.

Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo.

A day of caching in the tablelands where I found a few caches and ticked off my monotremes-seen-in-the -wild list. Happy chappy. [^] We replaced this - same spot and yes, a strong magnet is doing the job.

Thanks to a herd of camels and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Cache is not there any more. We will replace in 24 hours unless directed not to replace by the CO.

We had a go at finding this cache whilst staying just out of Cairns on a holiday but had no luck it eluded us, we didn't have too many muggles around either for an area like this. Thanks for bringing us here.

Was at site with no success. Photo of location sent to CO and he confirmed that we were indeed at the site and the cache was gone at the time. Permission to log from CO (28 Dec 12)

Tried everywhere, ask crystalwater who knew where it was and confirmed it was missing....

Just now getting around to logging finds from our trip "down under" severalweeks ago. Excuse the late log but we were seeing the sights rather than trying to post logs.

DNF....to many muggles . We were standing 1ft from it but no way could we get it, security van with many sets of eyes watching, and I have to go home 2moro. Maybe next time.

Found it fast and Easy! TFTC

Too quick for the muggles today...TFTC

Exact coordinates and a clear hint led us to the hiding place. TFTC!
Babettechen

Would be easier without all the muffles getting cancer:( TFTC

TFTC!

Log needs replacing. Tftc

Good night find. Log in pieces, needs maint. Trackable not present
TFTC

TFTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found this one in the late afternoon. Muggles around but it was not to hard!
TFTC

The late hour made this one nice and easy. The log looks a little the worse for wear, but still OK.
TFTC.

Thanks for the cache. Quick find while the family was shopping.

While my family was enjoying the hotel pool, Iwent to run some errands (and some caches).

TFTC and Greetings from Austria

No sign of GC ;(

TFTC SL

TFTC!

thanks for this. quick find.

TFTC

Geocaching and shopping. In this sequence.

Easy find, thanks a lot and greetings from Germany.

Tftc

A nice easy find. Log my need to be replaced soon. TFTC.

A quick find despite a few people around. (The log is in several pieces so needs replacing.) much better than my earlier attempt to find a cache at a church with a mass of school girls in the way!

In Cairns for a short stopover after fishing in Weipa. Spotted the GZ as I walked pass and then quickly retrieved the cache while the numerous mugles were looking away. TFTC

Found by Facitman at 17:06
Mrs F and e-facit needed a few last minute supplies before we jumped on a plane to head home so while they were busy, and s-facit read in the car, I grabbed a couple of caches. As described this was not too hard to find but it did take a few minutes to wait for the right time to retrieve. Replacing the cache also required timing but all completed without incident.
Thanks A Herd of Camels, a good distraction while I was waiting

TFTC. The log is a bit of a mess and needs replacing if the CO is still interested in this one.

East find. But no TB. TFTC!

Log is a complete mess. Needs replacing. CO should also log the TB that isn't there missing.

Nice and quick find, not too many muggles around when we visited. TFTC.

quick find but log needs replacing

Found it on last day in Australia.TFTC

#5248

Our fifty-third day of our honeymoon to New Zealand and Australia.
Our last full day in Australia. After we had a last chat with our neighbours Helen and Jim we needed to hurry up a bit to be on time out of the Coconut resort. We drove to the city centre of Cairns and had a stroll to do several caches, visited some shops for souvenirs and walked along the esplanade and visiting the market. Around 2 PM we drove towards our hotel The All Seasons Colonial Club Resort to check in and drop our luggage before returning the camper van at Apollo. Then we had a 2 km walk back to our resort were we are happy to lay on a real bed and having the best shower we had in seven weeks . Because this is our last day in Australia we will go out for diner to celebrate we are going home and to say goodbye to Australia.

We found this cache today around 12.30 PM local time.
We made our way up to the parking and while *Ba was still reading the description of the cache, Jo* found it already. Was not too difficult as there are not much real hiding places. After logging we went into the Food Court so we could buy a vanilla milk shake to cool down a bit from the warm weather. This was also the last cache of the day and hopefully we will find tomorrow before we fly out our last cache in Australia.

Found last after lunch timing of the essence tftc no coin inside

Good concealment. Had to really watch out for muggles here. TFTC!

TFTC

Log needs replacing, quick grab in the early evening; tftc

Log signed. No coin pressent. Done at night

Nice and easy to find! If you are good at not looking suspicious, this is the cache for you!

Quick easy find. Not too many muggles with pick up or drop off. No coins found, no pencil either so BYO. TFTC

Nice easy cache, lots of fun to do stealthily during the day. Fun find, TFTC!

Papers inside were filled up and a little worn, could do with a refresh! =)

Nog drie dagen in Australië. En ik moet nog twee Coins droppen. Deze met moeite er 1 in kunnen proppen.
TFTC.
Harry001
In 1 coin


Still Three days in Australia. And I have two coins too drop. These with difficulty can cram in there are 1.
TFTC.
Harry001
in one coin

It's an easy scroll in the afternoun. TFTC!

TFTC!

Quite a few people around, but managed to log the cache. Thanks and hi from Finland .

Just tracking my finds

3.10pm. While Noeline was checking out Cairns central I set off to search. This was 35 metres from the car. No troubles with the grab and replace. Did the writing bit in the car.
Thank you. David.

Just hours after nodo below we found this cache aswell. Finding and retrieving it was easier than putting it back. Some guy had a stakeout just near the GZ...
We found him distracted after a while and we could place it back after some lingering. TFTC!

Found it ok but returning it was a problem. Be careful of the time you go and return it quickly. I put in a bit more paper from an envelope which is all I had on me.

Finally found a time when all the smoking muggles had departed and then made a quick find. TFTC

Nice Easy find. TFTC. Requires a new log book.

Found @ 11:50am,
Loved how busy it is, the buster the better the hide:)
Thanks heaps
StaceV1,2&3
P.S this was our first KFC in Australia for a while, yum yum

Not much going on here. So I could grab it quickly
The log is a bit wet. Thanks for the deli cache )

Found it, cache needs new log and was quite damp spent 5mins mins drying off the log

Could not find this one after a good search with Doug.g

No luck here today. We didn't even spot the container, let alone retrieve it.
Bummer.

So much muggels here!!:))

Thx for The Cache

After an early morning start we decided to chase down some caches in the city. Had located this GZ earlier but way too many muggles. Found this one easily and safely. TFTC

found with kiwi beer king!

Pretty easy to find, hard to get without being spotted, outside of business hours would be an advantage

Pretty easy geocache to find. It started to rain when I was looking so muggles were not a problem. It actually felt nice, the rain.

Greetings from Canada!

TFTC

Tired to find this one although on a busy Saturday it was very had also my phone was not measuring the right distance so not sure how close i got to it. But as we were looking around trying to blend in but some one was watching us. As we walked past their car the woman asked if we were measuring how close the smoking area was to the entrance and we said sure why not hahaha she believed it

Got too hot and bothered looking for this one. Muggles Central. One asked if I was pacing out the smoking area. I nodded quietly and walked off. I'll try again on another visit.

Easy found the cache, nearby the hostel. TFTC

A bit hot in the middle of the day. Mugglers too busy doing their own thing, so no problems. It was easy to take and walk off to log and then replace. Unusual location.TFTC

Greetings from Sweden. TFTC!

Great little hide! Enjoyed it. Midday thursday - too many muggles about to sign log.

This tested our patients as we did this at lunchtime on a Saturday

SL TFTC

Did with CrystalFairy

Wasn't intending to do this one, but was at the mall and noted we were about 80m away from the cache, so whilst the fairy half went to the bathroom, Mycro Man and the crystal half found this one quickly.. T4TC

Easy find and only 2 other people in site. Public holidays definitely make this one a quick one. TFTC

found on a late night night hunt

TFTC

great hide

TFTC

Quick find while having lunch in the food court

Lucky it was a public holiday so nice and quiet. Quick find. Tftc

Great find thankfully pretty quiet in central today. TFTC

Tftc number 4 for this afternoon. Thanks for the hint, we would have walked right past it without knowing

There were lots of muggles near the cache, but we found the cache easily. Merry Christmas and greetings from Finland!

Located cache after 2nd attempt as muggles were enjoying a chat and smoke at GZ first time around.. Dodged security guards during their nightly patrols.. Cheers!

Nice location!!! Very sneaky! Had to dodge the security looking important or whatever it is they get up to in a car park at night.. TFTC

Why didnt I see it first time I looked there!! signed log tftc

#404 I went here at night, and I'm glad the Shopping Center was still open so I could grab some late night snack. I had to use the mobile phone tactic to look inconspicuous. TFTC!

Nice easy Cashe. High muggle area though... had to try and avoid prying eyes.... TFTC

nice cache

Found it. Couldn't sign the log as a muggle couple on what looked like a first date refused to stop talking.

Quick find. Cunning little hide. Hellishly hot today. TFTC from NZ.
