Stranded South Townsville, Queensland, Australia
By corikra on 15-Apr-10. Waypoint GC26RFE

Between work and university it's hard to find time to maintain caches, so I decided to archive some.

Couldn't find the cache and it might need maintenance. We looked high and low but failed to find

Interesting boat - why is it there though?
Felt around and in all likely nano hiding spots. Even with slim fingers we could not locate it....

Hey. Spent a while looking for this one. Did not find. Will try again.

Had a good look around and dnf

A few dnfs can this please be confirmed that it's still in place.

Not sure this one is still in play

TFTC

Out for a walk on the strand last night,but needed a torch.will return

Searched for quite awhile, could not find it.

I only had a quick look with all the muggles around; I could not see or touch it. If the cache is not inside it might be gone.

Did not find

Lucky to find this one on the ground in the sand. It is now in a more suitable spot. Thanks corikra.

This took us a while and was not helped by the weather. Finally checked a certain spot yet again and there it was. At least we found one cache in Townsville, and for Mrs.R's birthday, because after that the rain set in again. We were already damp enough so we quit and went back to the caravan. Just our luck - only one day in Townsville and it rains all night and all day. A bit of excitement though as two caravans got bogged trying to leave the caravan park. TFTC.

Only time for a few caches yesterday morning before we head off for a day at the V8's. This was the last and we had to wait quite a while before the muggles sitting at GZ left and we could search. Cache was soon spotted and with the help of a natural object extracted from its hiding place. Thanks.

Needed slim fingers to find this one

Found it

Get down low and go go go

U little ripper Coop.. Tricky to find n get out.. But worth the search!

After being disappointed at the previous cache I was keen to find this one. Oh no. There was s muggle using the boat for shade so we had coffee within sight. She didn't move. So went to find another of Mary's caches. Another disappointment. Returned to find muggle gone t wherever muggles go so I started looking. I have in the past threatened to blow up the nano factory and I was beginning to think that way again but I sat down in the shade and calmed down. More looking and found it. Yea! Muggles were nearby but they all seemed busy. When leaving I observed from a distance and nobody went to the boat so I think the cache is save. TFFC corikra

Greetings from Canada!
One of our team members is volunteering at the YWAM and what better way to pass the time than getting a geocache to make her Mom back in Canada happy and jumping for joy!
Thank you daughter for getting this tiny little cache, in the dark and for not giving up!

Navy cadets found. Nice hide

Found

Just had to ignore the nearby muggles. Took a while, but Mrs SG finally found it. Sat on the wall for a while before replacing the cache. TFTC

This one took some finding! In the end it was discovered by feel rather than sight. Extraction was then another matter but was finally successfully achieved. Luckily the nearby muggles were absorbed in their conversations and did not notice our odd activity.
A great nano hide. Limited possibilities but still a real challenge.
Well done.
Back to our walk along the Strand then into the older part of town.

I DNF'ed this one back in 2011 on my last trip to Townsville, so while in the area today, headed over to give it another go. Took a good 5 minutes of searching between the muggle walkers, but managed to get my hands on it after a couple of spots were searched twice. Neat hide and worthy of the star rating.

Thanks corikra......nicely done, and a favourite point.

With Solving4X. There was a muggle hanging around, so we did our best tourist impersonations whilst we examined the structure. Retreated to a bench to make the log entry, then a sneaky return of the container.

This one took me a good 10 minutes and I was on my last round before giving up. The smallest I've found to date. Tftc

Looked in the boat, under the boat and on the stand but nothing

Itty bitty. Luckily L and C were with me to help extract.

Cache replaced

Well be replaced soon

Boat is back just waiting for a cache.

No boat no cache. Sorry, looks like they are doing maintenance (on a rusty boat?)

Boat has been taken away for maintenance until January 2106. Geocache may need to be replaced.

Rust Bucket missing till Jan 2016

I had fun with this one. Was thinking about the hint and therefore trying with touching to find the cache. It worked really well because within a short time I had the cache in my hands.

forgot my pen!! will have to comeback

Found with geojames 4 and sharpeyes

Found with Geojames4 and snockley!

Found this one with snockley and sharp eyes -thanks for the cache tnln

It felt like years before I found it! TFTC!!! Third cache ever!

Tftc.

You would either be stranded or would drown in this little rust bucket. Miss J (8 years) was able to get her little fingers in to grab it. Took a while to get the log out- we needed to wait for the finger nails. TFTC

Found with trezbor and benjimun on cache trip TFTC

TFTC!!!

Nice find after a few drinks at the sea view

Found it! TFTC! Nice easy find with Benjimun and whiteboy!

Very sneaky little cache. Lots of muggles around today so my geocaching buddy and I put on our tourist faces and inspected the boat. Found it fairly quickly, didn't take it out though as we didn't want anyone to see. TFTC!

Great location for a cache on a nice North Queensland afternoon.TFTC

I struggled with extraction untill I reached for my trusty tool. The cache 'leapt' towards it. Tftc

2 back log cont..

Got it!! Just artived here in Townsville and thought I would find some caches right away

Tricky little sucker

A quick find but s little tricky to extract. Got it in the end.

Grabbed after work at 2345. No muggles this time tftc.

Tftc! Gorgeous "winters" day for some geocaching. So far hadn't had much luck with the others. Much better with this one! Exactly where I thought it'd be. Thanks!

Haha! Four people, five minutes, little fingers. Good luck

Bugger

New container in place.

I this one is gone, we had 4 sets of eyes hunting and no luck.

CO needs to check this one

Way too many muggles

Looked in every nook and cranny no luck at all

Hunted hard but no luck

Dropped my friggin' pen somewhere on the walk from the hotel. Frustrating!! I could ask one of the many nearby muggles to borrow one -:)

Clever hide. I enjoy these sorts of nanos. TFTC !

Yay!! Tftc

Yay found it!

Lovely Easter Friday.

On our [trip around the world](http://www.hoppundweg.piekar.de/) we came to Australia as well. We started in Tasmania, rented a campervan in Melbourne and went up the Eastcoast to Cairns. Then we drove all the way to the Red Centre. We finished in Darwin. We searched many caches and found almost every cache we searched for . Thanks to all the owners of these caches. Now, 2 years later, we recognized, we will never be able to log every cache seperately... So: Sorry for this standard logtext and thanks for one of the caches, which accompanied us on our journey.

Awesome micro cache. Our pencil was reduced to nimbly holding the lead so trying to write on something so small with something even smaller proved more challenging than the find. TFTC from The Travelling Irishman

On our trip trough Australia with the hole family we looked also for some caches. They often showed us places we would never had discovered. Thanks a lot to all the people who care about this lovely hobby .

Elefantefurz and I had a Little search, but after a while we get the right spot. Wasnt that hard after all...

Greetings from switzerland .

Stopped for a light bite of lunch under a nearby shady tree. Tftc!

A beautiful day in a beautiful place, tftc

Couldn't find it

Spent a log time for muggles to clear away for me to log another cache, eventually gave up on that one and walked over over here. At 22 something I was alone here, not a muggle in sight.
Found the hide on the ground logged and replaced in a likely place.
Thanks for the cache

Very sneaky hide

I was surprised that there wasn't too much in the way of muggle activity around today. Searched the structure with out much luck. I eventually found the prize by feel and not sight. Crafty little hide.

Log signed. The cache container and contents were found to be in excellent condition. Finding this cache has now given me a total find count of 1275.

Thanks for the Cache hide corikra

My first ever cache find!! Love it

So sneaky!

Sneaky.

Found it with help, so it is there.

Found it. Really good hide, smallest cache I have found so far. TFTC.

Can't find

Me and mackea7 tried to find it we spend nearly a half hourly looking for this one but sadly no luck. Seeing and the persons before had not found it either we believe that it has been nabbed by muggles and thrown out. I am really disappointed due to the fact I have just started once more and I was really hoping to find 2 GegeGeochaces

Found it. Took a bit of a look then an assist from Grandies.

Found with go-at while holidaying from Tasmania.

No luck with this one... There was a sailing comp on right next to this so could really only glance over it.

First nano cache! It's awesome

TFTC.
