WHERE ARE YOUR KEYS?? Yorkeys Knob, Queensland, Australia
By Kaptain_Klunk on 12-Feb-10. Waypoint GC23XAC

No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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

This cache is certainly MIA

Would the owner please check on this cache as there are many DNF's and it appears that the cache is gone and not been found for over 9 months. Thanks Kaptain Klunk

Think this one has washed away

Just tracking my finds

Went back again today for another search. Even using the other coordinates, as in previous logs, we were not able to find the GZ. Looked around the area in case it had been washed further back by the tide. Alas...no cache to be found.

Parked and walked down this lovely beach. With our trusty GPS in one hand and the geohound in the other we arrived at the GZ. Searched both high and low in a 30 metre radius for about 25 minutes with no luck. Even "phoned a friend" for some additional hints. The hints were taken and we re-searched the entire area again ....alas without luck. It certainly looked like the high tides had perhaps been through the area. After around an hour at the GZ we had to give up as the light was fading. Even though we did not find the cache we really enjoyed this wonderful beach and views. Thanks for bring us here Kaptain Klunk. We will return and check out the revised co-ordinates, as per previous logs, in the next few days and see what turns up.

We searched in vain for about 15 minutes, and admitted defeat when the mossie's got too fierce (Note to self - always make sure you have repellent in the geocaching bag before leaving home). The clue was too cryptic for me, and despite what appeared to be limited hiding places for a regular sized cache, we had no luck. We will return another day for this one. Hopefully it is still in place, as the high water marks are well up in the search zone, so I must admit most of our searching was done above ground level.

My keys are still lost. I couldn't find them at GZ and I couldn't even find a spot that looked like it could take a regular sized container. It was interesting to come down here though as I haven't been down to this beach since they started the Bluewater sub-division. TFTH.

edit: I hadn't seen the comments about the co-ords maybe being 8-10metres out. I'll have to head back one day soon.

A quick easy find. Have visited this beach on many occasions before we started caching. Took Mark Skaife card left stubby cooler. TFTC

I took the longest route to get to GZ and once there looked everywhere else first. But eventually found it and signed the log. TFTC TNLN

Perfect day for a walk along the beach. TFTC

Second visit with updated coordinates. Geodaughter spotted it. All in good condition. Nice beach area. TFTC TNLN

This was a group find with Wollaston and Dawickedwaiz. Got down and dirty on this one as it was raining heavily and quite muddy following the cyclone. Took Happy Pink Feet TB. TFTC

Found with outnabout after a request for assistance from dawickedwaiz who were going bonkers not finding same. Wet day in cairns with some very wet and hot cachers. Enjoyed the hunt. TFTC.

Finally found after 4 atempts, with the help of wollaston and outnabout.

Our sixth cache on a mega-cache morning. Following a brisk beach walk, some time was spent attempting to locate the cache.
Eventually, it was spotted, almost in plain sight apart from a branch hanging low and providing cover. Took nothing and left nothing.

I made my way from the nearby cache to this one via the beach. Started the hunt. My GPSr was fairly convinced where GZ was - but alas no cache. I widened my search and looked for about 15 minutes... before I (thankfully) found the cache. It is in good condition. Said green ants were letting me know they were there. If other finders have problems with the posted co-ords, perhaps try mine. TFTC Kaptain Klunk

looked for a while but no luck

Some discussion between us as we logged the nearby cache which way we would approach this one, either the track that seemed to take the right direction, or along the beach. We opted for the beach and enjoyed the walk along the firm sand. Thanks Kaptain_Klunk.

Love the play on words. TNLN.

Had to cast around a bit to locate. Nice walk though.

Nice hide - but not hidden. Also found out what a green ant is! Agree with previous logs about coords but not a problem

Nice walk along the beach on a great day. TFTC

Took a while to find but find it we did - the cache was sitting pretty exposed but slightly off of were we had GZ.

Surprising cache... my dog actually found it,

As with previous posts the co-ordinates are off by bout 8-10m
I didn't hang round long enough to get a great accuracy but hopefully these help abit more:

16 48.020
145 42.749

Stopped for a walk after a visit to the beaches. Looked harder than we had too and was surprised by the final location. TFTC

Found on a wet and overcaste morning at 9.50am. TFTC. SL. TNLN. Bamster

Approached from the west after riding my bike to within 40 meters....was a big mistake. My GPS too said the cache was 8m west of where I found it and since being a regular ammo tin I didn't need to have looked in all sorts of nooks and crannies. Left coin. Thanks for the hide... Ill walk down the beach next time.

Finally found it, with some hints from Walterhelmut and Spinmeout. Where I found the cache my GPS still wanted me to walk another 8m westward. Took a Hydrographic service badge and a TB (Track-A-Bear) which we will try to help on its journey, left some Harry Potter stickers and a cat figurine.

What a perfect place for a cache hide, a lovely little walk along the beach and then a quiet spot to hunt. BUT boy, did we hunt. More than half an hour later, we declared defeat. Obviously we are looking for the wrong thing. Despite the clouds, the GPS consistently led us back to the same little spot, but look and look we did, to no avail.

I remember this area 20 years ago and still nothing has been built. Its a shame as its a bit of a mess!. Great walk down to the waters edge then a quick detour into the bushes. Nice easy find. Took 2 TB's and left 2 TB's. Thanks for the cache.

Mrs Spinmeout found this one at 1:30pm after we had spent 10 minutes wandering around the undergrowth.
I never would have found this by myself as it wasn't where or what I was expecting. Pays to go looking with an open mind.
Being a rather hot day the kids were dehydrating and we soon headed back to the airconditoned comfort of the car.
No one else on the beach today, we had it all to ourselves.

I came here again, took a car out and dropped the CD-TravelBug Harrogatee 19 - 2007.
It fits into the container perfectly. But take care not to lose the tag!

09.50 - This cache had me going in circles for a while. Then I saw what I came here for. This hide is almost too clever, well disguised. +/-0. T4TC.

Teamed up with What's a Map who reported that the FTF was still a goer. Dashed out only to find Walter had been there ahead of us. Curses foiled again. Thought it was too good for a first to find to still be there after 2 days in Cairns.

Found at 11:20

[^]Yes, I really found the keys after a hard search![^]
Now I can feel relaxed and I am able to walk back to my car and use the ignition key I was looking for for such a long time in vain.
You chose a lovely spot for your hide, thank you Kaptain Klunk! It has vistas to Yorkey's Knob close by, Double Island in the middle up to Thornton Peak in the northerly background.
