Hi phrat,
This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.
**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.
Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.
I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Found and signed. Returned securely. Thanks for a cache along here to brighten my day even more!.
Took a little while because the GPS was off by about 6 meters, but we found it in the end. TFTC
happened to be the area , we found this cache, yep could use a little TLC,, I removed something in a plastic bag unsure what it was might have been the old log, might have been something squishy,, its in the bin now so don't matter,
Lets a small container with a new log book inside the container, will have to do until some one replaces the main container

Be careful the morning sizes don't take you back to the car they are thick TFTC SL
As we got close to G2 we spotted it out in the open, so we hid it as best we could. Lid is broken and log was damp, but was still able to sign it. Mozzie spray is a must with this one, we were coated but they were still buzzing around. TFTC SL
Found the cache trees before i noticed the big old fig opposite. Beautiful track and yes apparently this time the crown of my head did not have mozzie spray on it. I was initially a little confused by the coordinates but the cache is in the place that makes the most sense. No need to shove your hand down the snake hole and wrestle for dominance. As someone said in a log before, its just a matter of perspective
after a little searching not coming up with anything then looking at the hint and a little head scratch then realize the clue was standing right in front of us then after that found it with out much trouble nice little hide log it very wet but was able to sign it

TFTC - nice little walk nice to meet you Frullet. Log is a little damp, may need replacing
I met The young ones while at gz. They had the cache in hand. A quick chat and log signed. Thanks for the hide
Nice walk. Found with my geopooch's. Lid is broken so log was damp. But sign and carried on enjoying the walk.
Love the trail. It's so easy to forget how close you really are to traffic. Log is damp. Couldn't add extra log as i didn't have any. Love the paperbark trees. TFTC
Second time visit found it! (Although first time our gps was broken so just technical difficulties.) Muggle activity about 10m from cache, conservationalists. Walked past it cause wasn't watching gps but when we turned around they were gone so could search in peace... Looked in two different places before we found the right place, then an easy stroll thru the brush to the cache, great place, bring repellant. TFTC! Lefta snake, after all, we DID see one on our first visit! XD
Have to laugh! Had just finished telling dear daughter that she should keep an eye out for snakes because most often you don't see them until you're right on top of them. The VERY minute I said it she nearly stood on a snake!!!! My heart skipped a beat. She stopped just in time. Tree snake (dark on top, yellow underneath) about a metre long. Took a wee while for it to slither away. Carried on but lost all GPS signal and no find. Misadventure for sure.
Had a great weekend doing some geocaching travelling from Townsville to Mackay with karicka. TFTC SL TNLN
Caching Townsville - Mackay with Jackylegs44 this weekend.
Not a regular in size but a nice forest for a walk, the paperbarks white trunks made it a bit like a cathedral
Thanks for the cache

Took smiley badge, left dinosaur. Lovely walk through paperbarks. Hint from a previous finder was a big help.
My first Mackay geocache, found in the company of my friend and eldest son. Corrugated iron in the trees? How crazy is that. I am pleased to report that there were no black snakes around today. TFTC
Had to use the hint but found it in the end. The wife was hoping for a lot of birds but was suprised by the number of Butterflies.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there phrat. We found your cache "Kommo Toera" at 11:44:00 AM today.
This was our 2nd cache find in a caching run of 7 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9675.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was primarily to add to our current streak of "Most Consecutive Days" cached, (which has been going since New Years Day 2014.) Our "next closest" route took us to some wonderful & scenic locations.
What a really nice & peaceful place.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Got drilled by mozzies, but we were determined to get this! Lovely place for a walk
After a nice walk through the swamp we found the little container very good cache Kate kyan Nixon mathew
Our first geocache. Once we found the right tree it was easy to find, but bring aero guard!
Nice easy find, area was very, very wet after recent rain, cache luckily was well sealed as it was on very wet ground. I lifted it up from the ground slightly to keep it out of the water.
Nice relaxing walk in peaceful surroundings. Little detour from the path for the cache, then carried on walking to explore the rest of the trail.

Definitely a size small rather than a regular cache. There was room for a couple of small toys and thee logbook but nothing else. Also it wasn't in the obvious tree or in a place I would expect it to be (doesn't it get wet there occasionally?) but it was found quickly after we read the clue. The walk is nice and peaceful but for us the most interesting is the cyclone debris high up in the trees. Wow!
First cach in mackay, very easy and fun. Saw my first goanna and bush turkey haha clearly not from QLD. Found with Hannah and Sam
Well isn't this an amazing place to find while driving around Mackay [:o]
Not many toursitas ever stop to take the stroll
That at least meant muggle free.
And as I strolled to GZ I noticed a couple of things.
First up !! There was almost no rubbish scattered around in here [:o]
Sure I found an olde stubbie close to GZ, but that was it !!
Not even a chip packet [:o]
There must be some sort of 'Dome' over this place that keeps the idiots out ?
Second up !! Despite my GPS knowing where the caches were,
My 'dumb phone' had not been loaded with the cache notes
So I was in the dark here !!
I had to actually use my geocaching skills to find the cache, rather than peek at clues [:o]
Fingers crossed it wasn't a multi-cache or unknown cache
I kept poking around and eventually the GPS settled and just a few metres from GZ in a likely place I finally spied the sneaky little cache hide
I dropped in, or rather, squeezed in the "Homepride JIRO TB"
TFTC and visit to a wonderfully scenic place that big business seems to think by sponsoring, will offset the environmental damage they are involved in elsewhere.

Had quite an interesting time here but unfortunately couldn't find a cache. Saw a snake only 30 metres from the start of the board walk. It slithered over the side and off into the ferns. At GZ we searched and found a perfect spot for a cache but it was empty. Reading back through the logs before logging this I now realise that we were probably looking in the wrong part of the tree. On the way back we found another snake in about the same spot as the first one. Couldn't tell if it was the same one as they all look the same basically. Thanks.
Took a while to find, very well hidden. Keep looking at the same tree, GPS was playing games
Took frog and left dog tag

Today we drove to Bucasia and worked our way back to Mackay.
We found a variety of caches, including 3 multi's (our record for mult's in 1 day).
We found this cache in good condition, and well hidden.
Lots of butterfly's in the area.
T: bird, L: toy car
Thanks for the cache, phrat.

# 835 Time again for a C+2M Camp-Cache adventure. We went north last time so decided to head south this time, with the hope of getting a couple of the littoral caches. We also had some other planned adventures as well.
After last night Littoral scramble over razor rocks with no shoes, no one was in the mood for long walks (or walks at all) so DIDO caches were the order of the day.
Nice little walk along the boardwalk to an easy find.
Little monkey asked about crocodiles at least 10 times during the walk ha ha ha
