Hi Spud Clan,

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 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Did not find on the 16.4.2022

Looked around under lots of trees. Couldn’t find it

Had a look around the fallen tree could not find! Thanks

Had a good look, either gone or could not find.

Our last day in Mission Beach so looked for the caches around here. The first rainforest section we stopped at a cassowary and her chick walked around less than 2 metres in front of us for about 10 mins. Things like this is what makes caching such a great pastime. (We didn’t find the cache!!! - but who cares!!).

This is where we saw the cassowaries. Awesome. Looked for ages for the cache afterwards with no luck. Thanks Spud Clan for bringing us here though.

Couldn't find. Gave up after mozzies tried to eat us alive.

Found it

Found with NutCacheBNE. Lots of mozzies

Bike track

Found it

Out on a local wander this morning.
Found with a newbie. Green is a very grand colour, a shame that he had to fall.
TFTC ️

1MinnieMoo and I were on our way to Mission Beach when we decided to pull up for this one.

We pulled up and made our way into the nice area. 1MinnieMoo was off in the bush for some reason. Meanwhile I found the cache (quite visible) in a more accessible spot. We signed the log and re-hid the cache a little better. TFTC Spud Clan

21/10/21 Find #5109
Day 13 of our road trip adventures. Fangsoki and I checked out of Atherton early to make our way towards Mission Beach with the obligatory stops along the way.
Having grabbed the cache just down the road from here, this one was e next nice old cache on our list.
We wandered in, and no sooner were we through the gate than Fangsoki made the quick find here.
Thanks for the cache Spud Clan.

TFTC, Replaced the paper as it was wet. Nice hide

Found it… bout all wet so wasn’t able to write…next time will have to bring more paper and new bag

Thanks so much. Couldn’t get log out as too wet.

Quick easy find TFTC

Tftc. Was easy

Tftc

Easy find. Tftc

Heading to Mission Beach and Undara for a few days and looking to clear out the few remaining caches from home to there.

Quick stop here. Container and contents have seen better days but the log managed to take my ink.

Thanks Spud Clan for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

Although in bag the log is very damp and pen didn’t write well-tftc

Found with our friends sweet@figures. Great drive and cool area. Thanks for hiding and giving us the opportunity to explore.

Good spot. The uninitiated saw it first. The mozzies are rather thick though. Tried to find this one many years ago but looked in the wrong direction. Still a newby to geocaching but having lots of fun with Liz and Bruce.

Tftc. Awesome TFTC

Good quick find. Thanks

Easy find, lots of fun

Still penless but going strong. 2 from 2 today. Have spotted 3 big birds since being here. There’s not many hides around here or Tully so I’m very thankful for the find. Took the trackable with me and left a little something. The people in and around a Mission have been so bloody friendly. If I lived in a beautiful spot like this I probably would be smiling all damn day too lol.

Left this guy here!!

No blue headed emus.

TFTC ??

Nice and quick. No flightless birds though.

TFTC Spud Clan

TFTC a good description made for a good find. Signed and returned and left a little alien traveller.

Found in 10 seconds but cool track!! The stuff inside is a bit wet

Checked one tree and then the right one was found. Thanks for bring us here. TFTC Spud Clan.

Checked the older of the trees but spotted the obvious when i circled around. Beautiful area. Thanks for the hide-a-way

Thanks

As we passed the gate a cassowary crossed the track near GZ, after watching for a while the cache was soon found

TFTC

Wet. It’s there but too wet to sign. Needs some tlc & waterproof container.
Had nothing with me to replace it

Tftc

Kids went geoing with their Auntie to find this one it was her first find, I think we have turned a muggle into a geocacher.

Tftc

Tftc wet but has new dry log

Quick find. Tons of mossies. Killed 5 at once on my leg.. TFTC

Quick park and grab. Very wet jar but dry log book. Looked like a great track for biking! TFTC

Hopefully I found the right one. I found a glass jar just after the gates as walkers are now allowed in there. Log paper was very wet,I’ve put a dry piece of paper inside a little black container inside the plastic bag with the original log. Hopefully that will help it stay dry in this very wet rainforest. Tftc

Waterlogged paper ruined

Waterlogged paper ruined

LOG: 17:25
Das kleine Döschen am Wegesrand konnte ich rasch und unauffällig finden und mich ungestört in das Logbuch eintragen. TFTC!

A quick find after heading to the reef with Mission Beach Dive! Fantastic day enjoying the fish and coral and now a cache. TFTC

Short stop for a cache. Thanks, Garf

Eleventh day in Australia.

A day in Mission Beach. First we went to see the cassowaries at Licuala's Place, but there were none, then we drove to Southern Mission Beach, no caches, but a cassowary and its chick, that blocked the Kennedy trail and didn't go away, then a drive to the Northern part. 6 out of 8 caches is good value.

A really lovely location, well worth a cache.

Thanks,

Found some meters BEHIND the gate, starting from parking area. TFTC

While waiting a while for a muggle at a nearby cache to go away,
I headed up here to find the hide a way
Nobody about when I arrived,
so I could poke around and be poked back for a while

Speaking of wait a while,
one got me real good when I wasn't looking,
and blood was drawn !! [:o]
Lots of blood was drawn !!

A brief pause in the search while I headed back to the geomobile for some paper towel to mop up the mess

Still clutching the paper towel,
I resumed me search.
Keeping well away from that pesky plant

'Bout then I spied the obvious place.
No need to battle the plants here after all
I quickly grabbed the cache.
Logbook signed,
I was putting it back when I noticed a hitchhiker inching its way up me boot !! [:o]

"OH no you don't !!
I've lost enough blood for one day."

So what's worse ??
Wait a while, or leeches
Both !!

Found without the real help from the GPS, going everywhere TFTC

Nice hide tyfc

Easily found while on our stay in Mission Beach. Thank you.

FR- Suite de nos longues vacances en Australie puis Bali et après la region de Darwin, nous voilà dans le Queensland! Depuis PortDouglas nous redescendons vers le sud en route vers Mission Beach. Un petit crochet pour logguer celle-ci avant d’arriver!!! Mplc

EN- we continue our great holidays in Australia then Bali. After Darwin & Northern Territory, Now we are in Queensland. Leaving PortDouglas and driving southward to Mission Beach. Quick cache found on our way. Tftc

My hands were so wet that I was unable to get the lid off this cache. Muggle husband refused to get out of the car to help because it was “pissing down too hard”. So I took a photo. Hope to come back on a nicer day and do the walk.

A geofriend came with me on this one. I didn't see the easy way to get to it, so went bush. It was relatively easy, except for the lawyer vine (it never lets you go!). The geo-friend bailed, but wandered along when I found the 6 lane highway. TFTC

??

Was a quick find but still eaten by the mozzies when covered in insect repellant. Tftc

Nice hide place but millions for mozzies and got it signed and returned same place TFTC

MitDie weitere Reise führte uns heute nach Mission Beach. Fast alle Cache waren von dem Unwetter der letzten Zeit sehr nass. Viele haben uns aber auch die schönsten Orte der Region gezeigt. Wir danken für s Legen und Pflegen und Grüße aus Berlin und Rheinsberg.

Good hiding spot, had a good adventure with friends for this one and the next one up

Quick find l, fun little adventure. On our way to another one now! ️

We attempted this on a rather wet day so the log book was a tad damp but we still managed to sign it.

Tftc good hide.

Mission Beach wandering became a caching dash in tropical rain. Cache could do with some tlc. TFTC

A bit confusing...still inside the gate but walkers can still enter. Good find..love the forest.

Taking a drive to Mission Beach from our camp at Kurramine Beach and hoping to do all the caches on the way. Nice quick find just a short stroll in. Tftc

On our Mission Beach Holiday last day we did a morning cache. Loxated the cache but log was badly waterlogged. Replaced log and put in a clip log bag. Also dropped a coin from “Northern Transit” near Townsville. TFTC

Found it. Needs new log. Watch out for the green ants tftc

On a vacation and drive from Cairns to Brisbane. A short sidestep to see Mission Beach and a cache was found. TFTC.

... with our trip we've finaly fullfilled the surrounding of australia (ok, we took a shortcut: the topend of york peninsular is missing). it's still a fascinating continent and we're sure, that we'll return one day to cross the country from brisbane to perth.

some of the caches seems to be droped by other tourists in the landscape ... lots of DNFs, maybe because of the lack of maintainance. probably there aren't too many australien cachers in the outback? dear owners, hopefully you'll tolerate our standard-log. thanks for the caches and greetings from good old germany.

On holiday with my boyfriend in Australia. Found the cache quickly TFTC

Wet and chewed. But now in a glass jar

On our way here we saw a Cassowary and a little chick walking along the road, so we waited until they went back into the bush. At GZ we made a quick find. Thanks Spud Clan for the hide.

good find. log damp though.

Found it.

Quick find with the geo-girl minimousejojo. Tftc.

Tftc a smile for us but log damp lucky we had our power pen.

Have a few enjoyable caching days in Townsville we are now caching our way a little further north to Mission Beach for our next stop.

This was to be our last cache for the day before heading to our accommodation and as it was drizzling with rain we were quite happy that it wasn't a long walk but it was still quite an interesting little walk. The cache was found right where the GPSr was pointing which is always a great thing and our name was happily added to the log.

Many Thanks Spud Clan for the cache and for showing us this lovely part of the rain forest.

Nice easy find. Log was too wet and I forgot the pen Tftc

The hints disturbed me like cherribee. The cache was inside the gate and was easy to find after I followed the coords instead the hint.
Very nice site and tftc. Istanbulfreunde

22.7.17 great day out geocaching. 8th find today. Log is very damp

Outside the gate? I dont understand that. Anyhow we followed the gps and found the cache quite nicely thanks. Then i walked the dreaming track, and after noticing many cassowary droppings, i came across a beautiful big bird gobbling purple qandongs in a grassy glade near the bridge! What a bonus! The teack to lacey creek was fabulous, very muddy but oh so wild. Loved it.
