Logs
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.
Cache is being disabled until I get back to Townsville in a fortnight. Cache was there a week ago when I checked it.
I've driven past this one a couple of times but there is always people around so I've never stopped for a look, today I had the place to myself so dived in for a look but came up empty handed. Probably a case of not seeing the forest because of the trees. I thought I had a pretty good look so I might even have to use a phone a friend on this one. Thanks anyway AT502.
Had another look today. No muggles this time, but it's under water this morning.
I gave this one a go - but the heat of the day was too much. I did look - but couldn't find anything. TFTH.
Found the location, but way to many muggles about. Will try again another day.
08.10 - Nice place for a rest, a bite and of course a cache. Was trickier than expected. probably due to the fact this container would benefit from some maintenance ... 5/11. T4TC.
Clever hide, however the log is in ruins, the cache is, not broken, but was apart... Put what was left of the log back in the 'cache', place it back and then bolted... Tftc anyway...
Very tricky. Lots of feeling in the dark required. Log too soggy to write on.
Now that must be a short troll! Found with MoneyDork & Rediguana. A lady came down to ask if we were looking for a lost pet under the walkway - apparently it happens often according to her. We said no and she didn't ask what we were up to. I was trying to quickly formulate a suitable story in my head in case she did ask - I even contemplated telling her the truth about geocaching, but was saved from having to do that . TFTC AmmoTech502
Another find by my muggle daughters as i started searching the wrong side first. Neat hide. Thanks AmmoTech502

Figured out what I was probably looking for, but still took a while to locate!
Thanks

It took a second look, but lunchtime on a weekday was the perfect time for a casual search.

An initial search came up blank, but then a second look found something not only out of place, but askew. Now it is only the former, thanks AmmoTech502.
What a great day - 6 AmmoTech caches in one morning!! Shame about the last one - we will be back. I loved this hide - everything looked the same but we did find it. I'm sure the neighbours (we did not see any) must wonder at these very mature children playing in the park! Thanks for the cache.
This one is probably easier at night, with all the houses dark and (hopefully) no one watching . Helped that I had an idea of what to expect.
Thanks AT.
Thanks AT.
Found at 12:30pm. Searched for a little while as there were no muggles at all in the park today. Plenty of dogs around to make your presence known. Found logged and left in under 5 minutes

Out for a drive and decided to do the caches in this subdivision. Felt a bit exposed finding this cache but found it in the end.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Mentioned to Chwiliwir that we would look more in place if we had Hi vis shirts on.
Found it in the end thanks.

Had to really do some creative play acting to pick this one up without being seen to be suspicious, we have been to this park a few times before but it has always been full of muggle kids & with muggle Mum & Dad looking on from the front yards of the surrounding homes, so we had to have a picnic next to GZ in order to nab this one. SL, TFTC.
Nice quick find after setting up a hopscotch distraction (with dabuddmum and youngest cache kid) for the entertainment of the muggles
Nabbed this one while Braelair acted as decoy with all the muggle kids in the park. Nice one. TFTC SL
Ran interference at the park while Burgergirl made the pickup. Lots of muggles kids, and they had no idea. Quick sign, replace and off.

Still took a bit of searching, even with an owner hint!! -Doh- should have known, it's an AT502 cache! Nobody in the park today, finally!! TFTC AmmoTech502 (and the hint!)
Search interrupted by muggles very early on. We also came back after doing the other caches in the area for another attempt but muggles still there to ruin our fun . Will log as a DNF because we did get a short look but was by no means thorough. 'Til next time.
Couldn't get this one today due to the 'overt' muggle activity. Will have to come back by night and try my luck.
It was a hot day and we needed glove to find this cache. My second cache found TNLNSL TFTC
Not so much a DNF, more like a couldn't really attempt. In town for a few more days but not much chance of getting out here, so thanks anyway.
Second for the day but the mid day sun did make it hard to find. Back to the car for gloves and the cache was in hand. TNLNSL TFTC
A tricky cache.
There was a very large dog who took exception to my even being there.
A quick check to locate the cache.
Got in the car and fled.
Will try to get back when the owners of the dog are nearer to their 'Pet'.
Went back later and the dog still wandering about.

we had to grab this one by night.... the ship and its park is guarded very tight...... by a bunch of kids lead by a girl with yellow hair..... every time we drove pasted it seemed the were still there!!!! ...... so back we went, arrived 9.30 dark..... and to where the troll lives was right on the mark ..... thank you for leading us here AmmoTech...... to the Kalynda Battleship and not some wreck A very happy Geomum!
I found this one battling a never ending swarm of the most vicious blood sucking ever encountered.
But really it was my own fault for being out after dark in the tropics without mosquito repellant and dressed in shorts t shirt and thongs. There is not enough daylight in a day for caching.
My GPSr was all over the place and about 5 meters out the whole trip. It must be something to do with the weather here as it is normally spot on everywhere else that I have been.

Awesome another FTF for Cat and Bear. Did see this one pop up last night and decided to grab it first thing in the morning. Was a little suprised that no one rushed to the cache the night before. Living close the the cache location it was a very short stroll from home. The cache took a little to find but it is there so be persistant with your looking. Stealth is requied as there are muggler houses very close and we were lucky that there we not any little mugglers at the play equipment which is near by. Thanks for the cache Ammotech it good to see a few more pop up.
