Just tracking my finds

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Looks like the heavy rain washed it away again. I'll head to Bunnings Warehouse Plumbing section and get another cache container. Be back on line b4 Xmas. Sorry for those that missed out.

Had a good look around the area but was not able to locate the GZ. It appears to be missing or muggled

Didn't find it. Even had help from someone who knew where it was but still nothing. Has seemingly disappeared :S

Watch out for electric ants!! Good nice easy cache.

Bamster - where do you find these containers? This one stood out a little more than the one yesterday. TFTC

Ahhh - a quick find for a change. Good job. TFTC.

Quick grab in & out like a flash !!!TFTC x

An easy find. TFTC

Nice hide. TFTC

A nice quick easy one to start the day.

Found with ease. Great quick spot for a cache. Thanks bamster.

A quick driveby. Cheers Gav [9137]

A very quick find on our last day in Queensland for this trip.

good one.

Clever container, bamster - hidden in plain view! Quiet, sunny Sunday - no muggles, able to drive right up, the clue is spot on. Thanks for replacing it. It was a quick and enjoyable find.

Brahms6 found this one. A nice find on the way up the hill to #23. GPS is spot on and the clue makes it very easy. TFTC SL

Lots of walking muggles TNLN TFTC

New cache, exactly the same as previous ones, has replaced the lost cache.

It is now fully functioning.

Happy GeoCaching!!!

Gone missing. Will replace soon.

Great hide. Found with Wollaston. TFTC

Found with outnabout after bungy jumping session. Nice cache. TFTC.

excellent little cache, hidden in a really good spot. Had fun finding it.

Found It, This was our geocaching day we were doing 4 geocaches in this area on the one day.

This was our 1st find

Our third cache on a mega-cache morning. As the name says - DIDO. The cache was located easily and the log signed. Many thanks Bamster.

I was a bit daunted by the signs near GZ but I made the pummel. Thankfully I found the cache after a small hunt. It was in good condition. TFTC Bamster

Found with my wife on our honeymoon.

found while on our honeymoon in Cairns. TFTH

Indeed this cache had disappeared. Maybe muggled or maybe after recent heavy rain it has gone. nearby search proved fruitless. Anyhow, I have replaced the cache with a new one exactly the same as the old one. Happy Geo-Caching!!!

We expected to enjoy a quick find here like everyone else, but after nearly ten minutes and even using the clue, we had no luck. We had a theory where it might have been, but nothing that looked cachelike.

Quick find, seem to be following another NZer around. Greetings from Rotorua

My first international and Australian cache. Greetings from Oamaru (South Island, NZ) - nice easy find and a great start to our holiday in Port Douglas. Not too much time for caching and so only traditionals - but looking forward to it

Quick find on the way to the Zoo. TFTC

What a clever hide - we enjoyed finding this one. Thanks.

Beware the Electric Ants! GAFF1 Find after a minute. Yay! Heading North to Port Douglas today. Cheers from Sydney.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Took us a while but we were successful in the end - even though we were barked at by at least four dogs...

Since I already should have been on my way home I only sqeezed in this little DIDO. Having read the previous logs I knew were to look and it was a quick find. Crafty container.
TFTC

Easy find quick in and out... TFTC

Out caching with TBF for this one.

Found without too much trouble after we looked at the size rating. Thanks!

Nice & Easy DIDO, cept due to the immense rain we've been having cache was buried.

Looks like construction work is nearly over with cache in good condition

This one is not visible at this point in time so we wwere thinking in all the wrong places but did get there in the end SL TFTC

Ducked in here on a sunday arvo and got this one, agree on how much longer it will last here, although the structure its attached to looks permanent. TNLN TFTC

Drove in then had to wait while a dog walker got himself set to go. Located the cache easily but took a bit of effort to free it. Nice hide - hope it survives the construction work.

Still there, but have to agree don't know how long it's going to be there.

found this one. I was about to leave because this area is under construction for something. Had a finnal look and located it. You may wish to keep an eye on this cause i dont think it will last much longer.

Visiting from Vancouver, Canada. No construction workers around today and with the hint, it was a quick find. TFTH

Please see my logs

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.7. I snuck in here late after dark and managed to dig the cache out thanks to the clue, probably time to check it out. Thanks.

I found this today, full log to come later. But I thought you may with to know there are construction works just by the gate blocking access by day. Even then, work on the track had well and truly buried the cache in place. Albida

Took us a little while to find this one. Had mother and sister inlaw with. TFTC

I could actually see this cache as I pulled up in the car at the gate. So being the fun-loving type I am, I suggested Mrs Camel might like to find this one. I sat back and watched her for five minutes before I began to feel sympathetic, so I went and grabbed it to put her out of her misery. A very clever hide. TNLNSL. TFTC.

We had to look pretty close to find this one.

Found it No. 2029 ... nice hide ... TNLN

New log book installed in the cache.

Found it at our trip through Australia. Greetings from Holland! TFTC!

Thanks... neat hiding place!

Did this one today with Searchwise015. TFTC TNLN SL

09.50 - Another nifty container. Nicely executed and easy find (with hint). Log page is full, started logging on the inside ... T4TC.

Used the clue and visited in daylight, and found it this time. Then took the opportunity to go for a lovely walk in the conservation park. Next time we are going to take the GPS and start mapping all the paths through this amazing area.
The log is completely full and people will have to start writing on the back unless it is replaced.

Another find on our tour through North Cairns. We liked the container... Also the idea of DIDO caches is pretty cool

Thank you for this cache, greetings from Germany,

One of the last caches to find before heading home to Beenleigh. Easy find . TFTC TNLN SL

Quick and easy find after looking through the previous logs I am finally starting to get more ideas on how to hide.TFTC

Good quick cache. Quiet spot today, everyone must be at the beach! Clever cache design. TFTF

I arrived at GZ and spent the first 15 minutes checking out the birds in the area - there were large flocks of nutmeg mannikin in the grassy area, along with some thornbills. Then onto finding the cache. A clever little hide. TFTC bamster.

Nice easy cache with all revealed in a short time. Clever container.

Noone around today, so an easy find.
Many thanks.

A quick DIDO before the rain got us. A well made hide that was easily observed from withi the cacher.

Good little one with riddled clue. kids enjoyed the simplicity and having to think

The HINT really helped. Try it without it for more of a challange.TFTC

A little off the road, but a fun diversion...TFTC

I found it easily, but maybe that was just good luck. Anyway it is a nice place to be and go for a walk.

There's one thing I hate and that's seeing new caches come on line when your 800k's away. Good to see you boys fighting it out for the FTF.
Loved the cache Bamster, well done.

Found at 9am, Beaten by Searchwise,
Lucky for him I didn't go get this one at midnight when I saw it come on line. Won't let it happen again..trust me.
An unusual container.

Woooooooo, FTF for Searchwise015. With the self proclaimed "MR FTF" back in town this may be our last one for a while. But then again! This cache was an absolute pearler Bamster, TFTC TNLN SL.
