Over 8 years since half a container was found and the inside of the tree looks to have been burnt out at least once since, this seems to be a goner. Who knows, not me

Found the base of the container a very improvised repair and it's a log.
Thanks for the cache Roaminfree

Must have just missed Karicka. Found his replacement lid and log along with a sleeping possum who's leg I almost tugged on. Tftc

Found it. Still in good condition. Signed and replaced tftc

Unfortunately I have had to archive this geocache as I no longer live in the area so can no longer maintain it.

Excellent , found it

Cute

Tftc

I almost got inside there omg!!! What a cache. Sadly no trackables though but still a great cache!

picked up coin

TFTC I really enjoyed this one.

Our first cache in Australia!
In: Greek coin.

TFTC Protea88 no trackables unfortunately

Another very warm winter day to find a few more caches around townsville.
A strange tree, and I discarded a bong found in with the cache.

12:09:00 PM. Out riding our bikes around again before heading back to Ayr. Was good to find this one after a DNF last year. It was is the open and took a bit to get out. Signed log and rehid. Thanks roaminfree for placing this cache.

Fun for the grounds...

Should have said... Fun for the geokids...

WOOHOO! Finally found one that hasn't been stolen! Lucky we bought our skinny geokid!!

Awesome find... lucky we took the small geokid!!! TFTC

A torch is useful.

Couldn't find it. Has it been taken?

Found it! Second one during the afternoon walk! TYFTC!

Found second adjacent a bong lol

Had to wait a good 20 minutes for a gap in the muggles even though it was early morning

Stuck my hand in too many uncomfortable spots before making the grab

Really recommend gloves!

TFTC!

Found the bolted location but looks like it was gone

Nice hide thank god for the kids lol

Glad I had a little person with me to retrieve it. Great spot

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Nice hiding spot!
TFTC

nice hide, awesome twist to the hint. TFTC

Great spot, a lot of muggles at the time though, kids were getting frustrated and more and more excited as the coast was clear!

Left a flower loom band

Great spot! A lot of muffles in the area at the time though, kids were getting frustrated and more and more excited till the coast was clear!

Never knew it was bolted together tftc

Clever hide. TFTC.

geo-nephews from Teamtim4 helped log this one

Well spotted Miss T.

Very good bike ride! First find!

Awesome

Found this one TFTC

After plenty of searching and poking around we walked away from this one as muggles started to walk around. Will keep an eye on it and return.

Wow what an awesome cache hiding spot! Fascinating Place I wouldn't have even noticed if not for geocaching! TFTC!

Had great fun finding this. TFTC!

Not this time sad face

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Not where we thought but definetly listen to the description

TFTC. Bit soggy. Geocoin is not there. Amazing what has been done to the tree.

Have checked the cache & it is in position, just requires a good look. A pair of gloves & torch may be useful but not necessary.

Couldn't find it, found the place though better luck next time.

Was I spose to find something there? I got the coordinates correct, but I flat out refuse to go investigating further during snake season!

Really cool hide and spot. Love the way it's wired. Tftc

Found this one while out caching with GeoFamily. We were all amazed at this tree, and how it was held together with these large bolts and wires.



Dipped GeoKrety Key Coin.



2 of the 3 listed TBs not in the cache. Grabbed the 3rd.

Here to do a CITO event as we pass through Townsville. The listed TB's are not in the cache.SL TFTC

taking part in the local CITO event we stopped and made this one a quick find. tftc

TFTC

Awesome clue,great spot! It was our first geocache in Australia!
(Bit late logging, we found it in march)

Nice spot TFTC

Just swung by to check out the trackables that were supposed to be in here - neither are present!

Almost went poking around in the leaf litter but spotted it before I got too dirty! Thanks muchly!

Nice easy find. TFTC

Found this one with friends. Had to make a bit of noise to move the possum that was asleep in the tree, but he simply refused to move. Luckily my friends are so brave that they just put their hands straight in and pulled out the cache. Although it clearly stated on the home page that there were two trackables in this cache, no objects (other than a few random things) were found inside. Maybe the trackables went missing?

At long last I have located this one (with a little nudge). I secured the cache back into it's hiding place.
No muggles on an early morning walk.
SL TFTC

Had to look in between muggles passing by but found it okay....

TFTC!!

Cache locations was checked 23/10/13 & cache container is in correct position. Cache re-enabled.

Will check on cache as a few people can't find it. May have been muggled

I gave inside the hollow trunk a good search without luck again. The immediate surrounds did not support my search either. Have to watch this one again

Missing from hollow tree

Found the tree that is bolted together - Wow! Looked everywhere and even tried to climb inside the tree for a search without luck. It must be well hidden. I will have to call back on this one.

Found With My Sister at 0951. A nice quick find, my sister was suepeised that such a nice eiverside walking path was there. TFTC.

Found it. Swapped a shell for pink fish.

[u][blue]31 Days of Geocaching: [/blue][red]Day 6[/red] [/u](Part II)

Our 31 days of geocaching continues and this was our second for the day (just to make sure).

We were woried the cache was obscured by the "furry bottomed cache guardian" but geoD eventually found it tucked away.

What an amazing tree and the lengths that have been taken to keep it standing

North Qld 2013. Day 11, the Third full day in Townsville. Today was the second day of Ross River Power Trail caches. A fair bit hotter today. After setting my bike up, I set out and visited a large range of caches along the river. It was a good range of caches some easy, some hard. I did not do them all but enjoyed everything I managed. I like the way the tree is being looked after. I could only just reach this one. Thanks.

Another beautiful day in Townsville, after yesterday's rain.
GZ was something out of the ordinary.
Found cache quickly and found part of another cache container nearby, complete with log & a trackable.
Put old log in new container, took trackable and removed old container.
The 2 trackables listed are not in the cache.
Many thanks for the cache, roaminfree.

Quick grab today. Nice to be able to log a find after it being replaced. Found with the parent cachers, H and T.

Found with the Sommervilles - a few mobile muggles around.

While geoD was off doing his own thing (pushy training ride), geoP decided to combine her morning walk/run with geocaching.

I thought I'd actually stop to grab those few caches around the Rossiter Park - Nathan St Bridge loop this morning. This was the fifth and last for the morning, it was good to be able to run/jog between each of the caches. Plus my phone was getting very low on battery.

Wow great GZ but even for me there were too many muggles around to really get in and search. I had to pretend that I was just admiring the flora.

I'll be back again.

Good to see this cache up and running. The youngest Geo ferret leapt into action...only to leap out again yelping from a bull ant bite. I stepped in and had a look around. Heaps of places to look, even in the one area. A little bit of luck and I stumbled on the critter. Youngest geo ferret tended forget about his bite once found. TFTC

This is one of our favourites!!

Re-enabled listing with new cache container. Please make sure you wedge the container back in the same position as you find it.

Cache has been muggled. New cache will be in place by Friday 12/4/13

Sure I was in the right area but unable to find due to muggles and insect bite from critter in tree.

This one sounded easy, but no find today

Lovely spot-a good one for a beginner like me

Great little cache. Thanks

Nice easy find! There were no track ables though
SL and slapped a few mozzies also

nice easy find

Great view! Thanks

Nice easy find TFTC xxk

Out on a borrowed geo-cycle today. Thanks to Mr Fajoomit for letting me scratch this caching itch and use his bike.

This cache was a bit of a ride down memory lane as I lived in O'Reilly St for a few years in the early nineties and did a lot of bike riding at the time. After checking out the old residence, I rode across the bridge. In the early nineties, we made use of the weir itself to get across. In those days, what is now Annandale was just chonky apple scrub.

Was distracted by the bolts holding the tree together. However, cache was quickly found.
