Willows DIDO Thuringowa Central, Queensland, Australia
By corikra on 21-Feb-10. Waypoint GC249Q5

Will find a new spot for this one once they finish the refurbishment of the shopping center.

Went back at night with no muggles to worry about but still couldn't find despite thinking I was looking in the right place. Muggled???

Using the gps, clues and photos I'm pretty sure we were in the right place but couldn't find it. Had a decent window without muggles to search.

Great find

I found this two weeks ago with my Aunty but only just got an account to log the find. TFTC.

no pram or need for a pram for us so we just tried to look casual, you know, one pretending to be doing the phone thing and the other bored and looking at anything there was to look at. SL TFTC

TFTC! Glad we brought our pram with is

Decided to come find this one when the shops. It is so much easier when there is no one around. TFTC.

It is still here Might be easier to find if you have a pram Nice an easy find tftc

Found with MagickalMumma13 tftc

Cache not found, we think the metal bar it may have been on has been removed as area is blocked off and appears as though a rail was once there

Rail removed

Quick find. My GPS was out a bit but the description helped slot. TFTC

Nice hide.

Nice hide. Easy to find. Not too many mugglers today. Just a bit too high for little geocacher to grab.

our 1450th find today had to wait for muggles to leave so went shopping and gabbed the cache on way home, think somebody in a wheelchair definately would have a problem so would shorties. TFTC

Nice hide

Easy to find

Stop for a new charger and a cache at the same time.
The log was hard to get out but I had a perfect tool in my car for the job.
Another happy face on the Townsville map for me.
Thanks corikra for the cache

Nice easy find. TFTC.

New logbook today

Me geo found and signed the log. There was a fellow there doing his prays and still there after the log was located and put back. Too interested in praying to be looking at him. Tftc.

Found it! Didn't sign the log as geofamily went to the markets and didn't plan ahead!
Tftc

Needs new paper! TFTC

Took us a while but first for the day!

Nice and easy

2nd time round and we found it!! Kats!!

Fun!

happy to finally cross this one off the list as the gps gave us conflicting info on our first visit to this area but then today it was a lot more clear and we quickly made the find before muggles arrived. tftc

Just flew back from Tassie and had to take some trackables for a visit.
Very sneaky. The clue helped.

First find with keen young eyes. Will need to go back to write in log.

Found with go-at and madharri

Found with punka9er and go-at on Xmas day. We couldn't get the log out to sign so will need to take some tools next time.

I found this a while ago but forgot to log it. Good cache and fun

Found with Madharri and punka9er. Couldn't get log out to sign it. Will try again later.

Very well hidden

Good find took a friend and had a lot of fun! Muggles every where

Needs new log!! Had to carefully stuff in a post it note!! Also needs a paint touch up on the lid. Not necessary though. TFTC

Went with phume to look for this one, I looked in the right place, but not close enough, he soon spotted it. Log definitely requires replacing. We tore off a piece of Postit and wrote details and coiled around the log before replacing. Nice little hide in such a public spot. TFTC

A nice and quick find. My smallest yet.

Finally found this passed by many times to shop and spied the hiding spot

Nice quick find, log needs replacing though & took pic as proof of find, TFTC

good find

log booked if full ... great find

Aj8386 and I on our hunt.

Will replace log as soon as possible.

Clever hide. Choose timing wisely to avoid muggles. Log almost full.

Quick grab had to pick good time..

Lots of activity around this one!
TFTF!!

First geocache. Very small, very cool!

Found it with my geo family S.K.A.M.M ! Xox

Had a good look with family, we will try again .

Awesome. Thanks!

Found by 9 & 11 year old first timers

Found after the second go, however will need to go back to sign log as there was an older male sitting right next to it.

found with geodad and geosrepmum it was great fun! tftf

TFTC nice little find with a good clue. Now to roll it up!

Well done

Dido just like the man said.

Love a DIDO. TFTC

Nice easy dido. Ii love when you get these due to the speed you get in and out.

TFTC !!

Found it!!!

Very nicely placed

Not too hard to get to if you're not too suss

Third attempt and eureka. TFTC.

I'd tried to grab this one ages ago but it was too busy. I thought that arly evening on a public holiday might be a good time to grab it - and I was right. I had the whole area to myself and made the find very quickly. I'm glad to finally have a smiley for this one. TFTC.

Another miss, I must be losing my touch in the tropics.

Found out in the open... Needs a new paint job....

Forgot my pen! Quick find though Will have to come back and sign later!

Found it pretty easy while doing a night run of caches, much quicker when its muggle free..

Easily found because the grey paint has worn off the black container. Suggest to repaint grey to that it is not so visible from any persons whether muggles or not. SL TFTC

Finally! TFTC

Good hide !

First part of the day went well, dropped off 2 racing trackables in central Townsville, then headed to Castletown for clothes for the growing geokids. Hmmmm.... problem..... car park empty, same at Stockland. At least we can get some lunch if Willows is (increasingly likely) closed. After lunch we defied the few muggles driving across the empty carpark in futile attempts to see if the doors would open today and quickly found the cache. We retreated to the car the sign the log and replaced as found. Public holidays are a good time to do this one! TFTC corikra. At least Bunnings was open!

Another beautiful day in Townsville, after yesterday's rain.
We started out today with a drive to the dam, and then picked up a few on the way back.
Stood around until the area was muggle free, then grabbed the cache.
Thanks for the cache, corikra.

Was told this one was much higher, but good to see that it's within reach! Tftc

Hehehe, found it! The trolley collectors probably think I'm odd as I searched for the 'coin' I 'lost' at gz! Hardest bit was timing the grab & replace around when the trolley collectors & muggles were otherwise occupied. Fun hunt for this one. TFTC.

Grabbed this despite the muggles. Nobody was interested in what we were doing. Found with the parent cachers, H and T.

Overlooked by T but easy find for the Sommervilles. Muggles were oblivious.

TFTC - Could not remove log for fear of damaging it. Need pin to extract.

Arrived at this normally hectic shopping centre to find not a muggle in sight. The joys of Good Friday. Cache was a quick find without muggles about. TFTC SL {#177}.

Easter long weekend and what to do? Go caching of course! We'd decided to head south for the day but decided to give this one go first as we figured there would be no one around. We were right as we found the place deserted and geoP walked straight up and placed her hands straight on the prize.

TNLN SL TFTC

Up in Townsville for mums 80th Birthday. You can almost see this cache from her front door step as she lives very near to this shopping centre. Decided to grab this one early in the morning before the muggles and humidity.

A quick find with good co-ords, the hardest part was trying to roll the cache back up again to fit into the container.

Thanks for the cache corikra

Fastest find yet. Coords were spot on. Signed the log and replaced. Kids are getting really keen on geocaching now. May need a fresh coat of paint though. Thanks

Good cache tftc

Found it!

at the shops Friday arvo

TFTC

Easy find on a public holiday with only a few muggles around. Good hide! TFTC

Just remembered to log this one. Was found around 14th july 2012

Actually found this one in august. It needs more paper for log ins.

Greetings from Oregon! Visiting friends in Townsville. First to sign new log. Third trip to this shopping center...first time we had the GPSer on to see there is a cahce here! T4T

Replaced the log today, the cache is ready for new visitors again

An early visit on a public holiday ensured that no one was around. Once at the GZ a quick search and the small cache container was located.
Thanks Corikra.

Took a while due to GPS jumping around. TFTC
LOG FULL ... so just left my initials squeezed I'n!

Quick find while waiting for DaBuddMum. Log book full

Needs new log book
