Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

I will put this one on my check list.

buggered around for ages in the jungle and around the tree bases. No joy this time. Had a nice dip though.

Third time here looking for this one.
This time we spent the night at the small campsite and went for a morning swim. Great to have the place to just ourselves Smile
With no muggles it was an easy search this morning and I soon had the casche in hand.
Han been chewed on, will bring a new container next I am here.
Thanks for hiding

Today we did a day trip to Innisfail and this was one we found. Mr "T" had to brave the cold water, yep I'm in Queensland!! and swam accross the river to gain acess to the cache. Once on the other side I had to scramble up the hill to get to the top. Took a while but came up with the original cache, 7 metres north of the given GPS readings. It was tucked in its hidy hole, no log book, but I signed a red and white sticker and a foil wrapper that ws left inside as well as a shot glass. Yep the animals have had a nibble around the edges.

Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Water was half a meter higher than during my last visit. Had a quick look without any luck

It was very a very busy spot today being Easter Monday. We looked around but couldn't be very thorough. Gave up after fighting the wait awhile.

On a day trip with visiting interstate friends what better way to get them into the crazy hobby of geocaching and enjoy the beautiful boudlers on such a hot day. Cache was found after a brief search. Time to enjoy a nice refreshing swim. Tftc sl

"Found it", well contacted the CO and Kaptain Klunk was more than happy for me to leave a replacement cache at this location, definitely going to get wet finding this cache.

Let the hunt continue, cache located about 2 meters from the listed coordinates, shockproof container with a little rain cover to hopefully keep it dry.......

Thanks to Kaptain Klunk for the opportunity of keeping this cache alive and

Have had my eye on this one for some time. Only dnf logs the last 2 years now. Time for owner to check upon it.
Thanks

Too many muggles to atempt this one. Beautiful spot though
 
11-Feb-14
Lots of rain and water rushing past but in we went anyway, the things we do in search of a cache! Once on the other side I extracted the gps from its waterproofing and a detailed search was done. We had accurate coords and after searching atop the harder area I had fun leaping from the top and searching under the water. No luck but lots of fun. I would love to return here and will add this to my watchlist to keep track of future finds or maintenance.

Great place. Unfortunately I couldn't find the cache, even after after a long search in the early, muggle free morning hours.

Looked while on holidays, but forgot to log when I got home.

Perfect weather, walked thru the pool - almost there, but didn't find it. Anyway thanks for showing this awesome spot.
 
20-Aug-12
A nice visit to the boulders area. Enjoyed the walk and incredible water flows around the boulders!!!
Wished the weather was warmer today for a dip Sad
Thanks for bringing us here.
I think this one should be replaced. Log is too wet Sad

Have just realized there is already a maintenance log for this one, So warning to other cachers, maybe bring a replacement container and log for this one next time. It needs to be replaced.

Rats have had a good chew on cache container leaving hole in the bottom of the container large enough for the contents to fall out. Log book is like paper machay

Kids loved the idea of having to swim to find the cache so we headed down to the Boulders on Easter Monday. Got a rough idea of where to head and left the GPS behind on the bank. Slowly swam across waiting for muggles to move on from suspected GZ. after about 10 mins of searching we found the cache but not where we were expecting. Cache was found more by luck than skill. unable to sign log as to wet. TNLN

This was one that I just had to get on this trip. It is a great spot and the most northaly stop on our trip. The cache needs some TLC though as rats have chewed 2 holes in it. We enjoyed the search and came up with the goods. TFTC

FOund it with the willing members of our family. TFTC

This was a stop on our planned itinerary for our 6 week trip down the East Coast. Stood on the bank with the GPS and got a pretty good reading so I tucked JellyBaby travel bug safely into my cozzie and struck out across the hole. Not a pretty sight as I hauled myself up where I thought the cache would be and I certainly got a few looks! However I couldn't locate the cache and being a wimpy Pom I didn't want to rummage too much in case I disturbed something creepy, crawly, or scary. Thanks though for enticing me in for a lovely swim, I've logged JellyBaby as having visted the cache even if he didn't quite make it - I'll have to find somewhere else for him. I took a pic of him with what I think was "the thing blocking the signal" in the background - would be good if you could let me know if I was close!
 
Our second attempt. This time Ian swam across with me and following close behind were about 50 zillion march flies, ekkk... We hunted and swatted and hunted more and then were joined by a rather large group of kids and adults who had decided that the nearby boulder was a great spot to jump off of. Hmmm... time to retreat much to our disappointment. The cache evaded us once again and as we are moving on in the morning it seems this one will go unfound by us Sad
 
Swam across this morning and looked all around the "thing blocking the signal" after first swimming around the larger object and climbing out through the deep smelly mud! All I could find was several beer bottles this time but as we are in the area for another day or so we will BOTH go over and try again.

Now back to reading logs in an attempt to get a clue as to where to look. Oh yes... warning - dont go without the Bushmans as the march flies are there in droves.

SECOND Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin Wow, what a find!

We stayed at Bramston Beach and spent the day in Wooroonooran NP. Of course this included a swim at The Boulder, which is a great location for a dip. I had read the cache history which had made me really curioius. Didn't really expect to find it, but wanted to give it a try.

Worked the forerunner into my hairstyle (what were people thinking, I wonder) and swam over. The gps indeed wasn't a great help so I just went by "where would I hide it?" - and there it was! Cache in hand after 5 mins!!! [^]
Glad to have hiking sandals on, wouldn't advise to go barefoot. I hope this isn't too much of a hint, but it is a T4 cache!, and crossing the water isn't the only action required to find it.

Well, I still have a smile on my face thinking of this cache. It made me really proud.
Thanks Kaptain Klunk for a great caching experience.
Rescued TB Tinkerbell (and nearly lost her swimming back [B)]

29/04/10 11.40am - Arrived at carpark area and started our hunt for this one. Found it was across swimming hole but found that the bridge was closed further upstream. No way to get across but swim and I wasn't planning on doing that. So have to call this a Did Not Find. [ Sad ] Lovely walk and rapids and but got caught in the rain just as we were starting our walk back. Stopped to dry off and have lunch under shelter. Thanks for taking us here. Maybe next time will get this one.

I finally found it by the third attempt! It was really difficult first because the GPS could not find the place for the co-ordinates listed. But now after some help of the Kaptain and knowing where to look it becomes fairly obvious. I really wonder why I did not stumble over it when I was searching also in that area.
Thank you Kaptain Klunk for the excellent excuse for a swim I otherwise would not have done!

well i placed this because i thought it would be a challeng and it certainly seems that way. Walter i admire your relentless persuit for this one and i hope you find it i have sent you a email. Before attempting this take a step back and look for the "RIGHT" boulder so you are not searching the wrong tree.

2nd DNF on this cache. Maybe it is in a totally different place, because the GPS does not lead to the listed co-ordinates. The travel bugs had to come home again.

I am desperately hoping for a hint by the cache owner because it is too hard to find something in such a big area and so many potential hides.

Thought I would give this one a go on the way to Innisfail from Cairns.. Double bagged the GPSr and followed the direction it was giving me. Got to the opposite side only to find it had changed its mind and said it was further on down Sad I decided to abort at that point... there was no one else around and I was travelling alone. I didnt want to tempt fate. Thanks for brining me to a really nice area (water is beautiful). This FTF belongs to someone else.
