I am disabling this cache because I can no longer maintain it, and it has had a few Dnf's.
 
15-Jan-16
It's definitely not here. Go kids navigated while I drove and this one is gone. Sorry to say but it's another dnf for them.

Could not locate
 
16-Nov-14
I could not find this one. I looked under rocks, inside tree holes, under the bridge, along the bridge scaffolding, around tree roots (absolutely everywhere) however I could not find it Sad I think it may have been taken. There was a lot of littler in the area and it looks like a popular hide out for young kids.

I couldn't find it I looked with my brother for 20 minutes, hope it is still there

Found on our travels around Australia.
Another great example of the nice bridges around Cairns.
Thanks for the cache, a herd of camels.

In Cairns for a few months visiting family and escaping the winter in Adelaide. We replaced the plastic bag as other was torn. T.F.T.C. Big Grin.

On the way to this one Fangsoki tried to impress me by singing the name of this cache to the famous Simon and Garfunkel tune in his loudest, proudest and most awful operatic tones.

Naturally we ended up parked almost as far from here as possible, but a nice walk through the park. En route we had to give way to a pair of.. not camels, but horses. Yep, another day in the life of Cairns?

At GZ I was sent forth for the find and quickly had the hide sussed out and we signed the logbook. TFTC a herd of camels, this one sure was out of left field for us today Smile May I never have to hear Fang sing again Razz
 
10-Jun-13
Captain Terror and I were in Cairns for caching and decided to drop in on this one.

Of course I made life hard for Captain Terror and I by parking a country mile away. After giving way to some horses on the path (as you do -.-), we made it to GZ. After a small hunt, we found the cache safe and sound and in good condition. A nice little area. TFTC a herd of camels Smile

Funny little spot.
The bag could do with a replacement.
TNLN, TFTC.

Nearly missed GZ as we couldn't find the bridge. Luckily cat saw the bridge out the corner of her eye while driving around.
Once there cache was quickly found.

10-Mar-13
Another caching day in Cairns but we are hoping that it will be a very special day in that we achieve our 4000th cache. Raining heavily at this point. Bridge was a help in covering us while we found.

22-Dec-12
Great find
 
20-Oct-12
TFTC. Amazing - walk my dog over this bridge all the time, and never had a clue that a great treasure was underneath. Didn't have a pen to sign, but will next time.
 
06-Oct-12
Yah first cache. This is soooo cool. We took the troll to move him on. Swapped the starfish for Dora spin top
 
04-Oct-12
In great condition
 
06-Aug-12
The Geokids tell be that according to Dora the Explorer, trolls live around bridges. So we placed The Troll of Pinchcliffe TB here. Quick find. TNLN TFTC SL.
 
06-Aug-12
Forgot to add TB on my last log.
 
21-Jul-12
This was my friend Liss and my first Geocache search. It's a beautiful day here in Cairns, so we thought an adventure to find some treasure would be a great way to spend the afternoon. We were not let down, as the creek was beautiful today! It was fun trying to find the cache too- quite tricky to spot!! We took a cow and an inspirational quote and left a flower brooch and some pirates treasure Smile
 
09-Jul-12
Great Cache. Took: bubbles Left: starfish. Very Happy

Nice walk however the creek could use a good flush out.
I'm surprised this one is still here given the evidence left behind by the local kids. [8]
 
15-Aug-11
This was our 1st find that had "treasure" in it, quite exciting!
Unfortunately we didnt go stocked up, so we didnt leave anything and didnt take anything. We just signed the book Smile
Great location Wink
Thank you!

GZ was good - nice creek

TFTC TNLN
 
If I could have parked where I wanted to it would have been a 1oom walk, but the Recycling truck was doing the rounds and the street was too narrow, so we had a bit of a hike. Smile TFTC
 
19-May-11
Found no trouble Prety little creek and park. Cache nice and dry and quite snug. TFTC Garnets
 
06-Dec-10
A sneaky camel. After a amount of search, the cache was located. The geowife was not impressed - cobwebs in her hair!!!!
Nothing was taken and nothing was left.
 
14-Nov-10
Went to the shops for the morning paper and the makings for brunch but i was a bit early so ducked off an found this one.

Nice creek.

Took Blue Dinosaur and left plastic cow. Signed the log.

Watch the friendly spiders. Nice hide
 
We approached this one from the wrong direction and then decided to follow directions and approach from the north. Turned out we could have gone from were we were, still exercise is good for us!
 
An interesting old bridge - amazing the council still allows people on it with all the rotting boards Smile

A nice walk to a nice spot. Cleaned out some spider webs. TNLN
 
15-Jul-10
After 17 days here in Australia this was our last day for hunting Aussie caches. We found this cache very easily but couldn't log it in the logbook as there were a lot of spiders and nets we were to scared about it. Especially we do not know about the dangerous and venomous ones we do not touch. [8)]. But we took a picture of the container as evidence. TFTC from Germany
 
30-Jun-10
Another quick stop on our afternoon geocaching. Some muggles on the bridge, but kids being kids just played and retrieved it during play. Took: ball, necklace, dinosaur, ring Left: braclet, ring, lanyard, trinket. TF another great cache for families.
 
05-Jun-10
Out of all the caches found today, this one would have been the trickiest. It helped having the 4WD as it allowed us to drive through the development roads rather than having to search out a parking spot via side streetsWink. Once at GZ, Ballbag found the courage to go in and grab the cache (he hates spiders). Bumblebee signed the log at 1215 and left an IGA community chest tag.

Took longer to actually find a parking spot than it did to find the cache. Nice little creek here - would have been tempting to sit in on a hotter day.

Found with waynecarly.

Cheers

Took a while to find a parking spot (blaming chatmanais for that Razz ) but found the cache without too much difficulty once we were pointed in the right direction. Saw a large lizard near the creek whilst enjoying the location. TNLN TFTC Smile

Found while caching in and around Cairns.
Very clever hide. Thanks for the cache.
Thanks to the herd of camels for all the caches here Smile

We braved the rain and boggy ground to come up with the goods. Be careful when wet, it's very slippery.
TNLN TFTC
 
04-Apr-10
This one had us driving around suburbia a bit (at night!), we just couldn't find the 'street to the north of the cache location' and the concrete pathway. After a while and the GPS saying we had only 70 metres to go, we went cross country, making our own path through the wet grass along some houses Smile. Cragged was the brave one retrieving the cache.
No swaps. SL. Thanks for an interesting night walk!
 
16-Jan-10
Wow this was our second Cache and didnt we get it wrong at first, only because we were still learning. Couldnt find it the first time though evidence of muggles in the area might have discovered plot however after our return from another cache site we did manage to find it. Great spot well worth the effort for us.
 
27-Dec-09
In Cairns visiting friends, cache only just around the corner. Typical weather, started raining as I walked out the door. Took geocoin, it will be making its way down south.

15.30 - Approached from the South and scrambled a tiny bit to find a path to GZ. Ended up with a nice walk along the creek. Easy find after battling the spiders which are definitely at home here. +/- 0 T4TC.
 
24-Dec-08
Was unable to retrieve this one last time due to large numbers of muggle children playing in the creek. Approached from the other side this time to keep things interesting. Soon after we went undercover, some muggles came and stood above us - so we played trolls for a while. Did not see the obvious at first - if you have a fear of spiders you may have trouble retrieving this one now as they have done their work!

TNLN, TFTC. This the only creek still flowing on our walks today.
 
11-Nov-08
Rememberance day. GPS maps were all over the place but got there in the end. Quite a nice little creek. Thanks for the drive and the cache.
 
13-Oct-08
AH the pain of using old maps, Once we got close we noticed that our trusty UBD had no details for the area so we had to just try our luck. After finding a suitable start point we wandered down the hill and located the cache. a cool little spot that was fortunately quiet today.
 
08-Oct-08
Nice easy find this time round.
Finding the cache during school holidays was mission impossible with all the kids swimming in the creek.

Apart from the noise of the earthworks being done nearby (see photo) it could be seen as a romantic spot where you could sit and listen to the murmering waters.

FTF! Another Camel in the Bag. Saw the listing as I was packing up at work and hurried home to grab my young boy for a Treasure Hunt. We really only wanted the treats and that's what we found.
We approached via the Southern route, it was a bit longer but the walk was easy. This whole area is developing at a rapid pace. Houses will be very close to the GZ soon.
Found the Cache quickly and took the treats. Thanks they were yummy eating on the trip home.
