Couldnt get past locked gate

Not found. Where is track

Found another one... beautiful view. log is full replaced with a piece of paper but left old log intact

Beautiful view! The cache is a micro! The ‘other’ on the size threw us for a few! Also next traveler, are you able to replace the log!

Very short but steep walk. Soon had nano within 12m gz. Hint worked well. Needs new nano style log as this one is now full. Great views. Fav Point. TFTC

That took way longer than it should have but can’t sign as it’s too damaged Not a bad view and great exercise TFtC

Very hard.very small! Within 20m of gps. Nearly gave up on this one. Note book is wet.

Took me a while to spot it. The log needs replacement as it has started to disintegrate.

On our drive from Atherton to Palm Cove, we took a break and parked at the suggested coordinates. From there it was just a short steep walk up to a beautiful view with mountains all around us.
The walk through the forest was also beautiful.
With a good hint, we soon had this one signed and then a quick walk back to our car to continue our journey north.
Thanks darlek_caan for the break and diversion along our travel today.

2nd find on the way to Cooktown.

A short bush walk, pre-approved trespassing and a great view! What more could you ask for? The cache size made the search a little difficult but the sneaky thing was finally found, covered up by web and blown up grass.

TFTC!

Little did we know this one is unloved! Woo! All worth the find! It’s very dull today but it made the forest all pretty. Cache nice and safe! Thank you so much for this hide

Staying at the billabong nearby, after setting up my camp for the night i opened the map and saw this one just over a km back up the road.
With a muggle friend in the driving seat and zero interest in moving, i hoofed it quicksmart back up the hill and beyond, chasing the sunset.
With a good read of the description enroute i zeroed in instantly to gz upon arrival at the top and signed the once damp log moments later.
Happy to claim over a year unloved to this one.
Thanks for getting the ok to place a cache here, good to see in ten years nobody's ruined it.
Found at five thirty pm.

Very disappointing for me..
I had a few ideas. But I couldn't find anything.

Found searching for jewels. Enjoyed the walk up. Just tells me I need more exercise. TFTC

Staying in Palm Cove for a few days. Went on a drive today from Palm Cove to the Tablelands, including Mareeba and Atherton, and back on Route 52 through Yungaburra, enjoying the sights and picking up 14 caches along the way.

We weren’t sure initially whether we’d parked at the right spot for walking up to the cache. It turned out it was the right place. We trekked up to the cache, past the warnings about ’trespassing’ (good thing we’d already read the CO’s description of the cache) and located it after a brief moment. The coords seemed to have us out on the grass several metres away! Another cache milestone for us! #2600. TFTC.

Greetings from Wellington, NZ.

TFTC nice view

Quick find with the geo-girl minniemousejojo. Tftc.

Found with geo-boy Pearcey. TFTC

Amazing view and easy but healthy climb to find it. Brought a pen to sign the log but ink had run out, so here’s the next best thing. TFTC

Travelling around Australia using Geocaching as our Tour Guide.

Staying in Walkamin, today we headed down to Cairns for some shopping and somehow ended up with a full list of caches to tackle. Sadly we must have left our caching mojo in Walkamin as we had a bit of trouble navigating with caches on wrong sides of main roads and multis that we had no idea what we were doing wrong.

Anyway we got a few smilies to make our day end on a

TFTC darlek_caan

wow the views!!! saw a cassowary, walked back down with a big stick as i was abit scared. tftc

Lovely outlook. Super quick find. I,ll post some pics when i get back to my computor. Thanks for the morning excercise.

Wow. Beautiful view and a rainbow came out at top of hill. Thanks !!

Found it

Spectacular views, clue combined with scenic photo very accurate, tftc

Beautiful view on mothers day! TFTC

What a gem of a spot, thanks for bringing us here.

Wow! The steep scramble up was worth it. And it was so lovely and green after all the rain the area has had.
Thank you darlek_caan for the cache and fun. SL

Sneaky bugger. Incredible view, lived here for years and never new that existed.

A great view after a short walk.
TFTC

It was a short hard walk with a great view!

Cordinates on compass are well out but used the hint and found it

Great spot

Found it. Amazing views. Lived in cairns for 40 years and did not know this existed. Thanks Darlek_caan

Provided a good reason to stretch the legs and ample up this little mountain to have a look around

Found it on a sunny day in paradise. Nice views.

Caching around the highlands today, this was on my was back into Cairns.
Short walk up the hill ignoring the signs, good views in the afternoon light.
Thanks for hiding up here

We enjoyed a day caching in the surrounding area from our current digs in Walkamin.

Surprisingly the log was quite wet?? It is well protected so not sure how that happens?? Anyway the log was full so we replaced it with a new sheet and signed our name.

Lovely views from here....your friends are very lucky to live in this beautiful area. Many thanks for the hide darlek caan[^]

Found a good 16m south of the coordinates, and log FULL. Tftc.

Cairns Dive Trip March 2015. After a shortened first dive drip I decided a day trip out caching would be the way to go. After a fun visit looking around Kuranda I headed up here. I had to have a good read of the description before I headed up, bit it is an amazing location and the view alone is well worth it. The cache is fine and hidden as described. Thanks.

Not sure if it's been moved but didn't find it.

Quick find once I figured out where to park (read!). Yup, log is full so didn't sign. TFTC. Pretty cool antenna farm!

Great view! TfTC log is 100% full

Found this one while visiting the area, enjoyed the view, TFTC.

Cheers to the flying doctors who do have a heart for geocachers
We behaved and found the cache 22m S from GZ
Logbook is really full

Heading out to Mareeba and we stopped to collect a few caches on the way. The GPSr had us looking in the wrong spot but geoD came up with the prize in the end.

Nice views from here!!!!

#6197 We had seen Kuranda on foot the prior day, today we were in the GAV and so could travel a little further afield. Soon enough we were walking on foot up the hill when we came upon a gate. The sign on the gate filled us with some trepidation however the information on the cache page set our minds at ease (just don't have an accident ). Our GPSr's were pointing a little way from where the cache was located but located in an obvious place. The log book is full, unfortunately as we are travelling from interstate we didn't have our caching supplies available to complete maintenance. The views are pretty good from up the top!! Our thanks to darlek_caan for the cache and some good exercise, a great walk up for some impressive views. Cheers [^]

Couldn't find but car got stuck in the mud at the side of the road. Will try again another time.

I parked and walked up the track. Brilliant spot. It had been raining hard so it was quite slippery. On returning to my car, I found it had sunk a bit on the grassy part where I parked. I span the back wheels so locked the hubs of the lux and drove out no probs. 2WDs beware.

Thanks to darlek_caan and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Great view, steep but easy walk.

Log book full

Well worth a visit, great view, easy and quick cache. The hint was really good which made for a nice easy find, log book full.TFTC

Didn't find it I think this one needs to be checked to make sure it is still there!!

Found during our trip from Brisbane to Cairns. great view.
Greetings from Belgium

TFTC. Have been her before for bird watching. Had no idea there was a cache. Beat views! The log is full.. time for a new one...

Couldn't sign log, no room left!

TFTC

Note for CO, no room to sign log requires new log.

We had no internet the last 3 weeks so, we can only now log all our found caches.
Logbook full. GPS was very inaccurate, but we found it.

Just an amazing v1ew from up here, found the cache and signed the log in the last entry gap left on the log. It is now full and requires replacement. Enjoyed the walk and vista, TFTC

Good that it was on the website we could ignore the private property signs, because otherwise we would have turned around I think. The cache was easy. The log is full now. TFTC!

Just tracking my finds

After we caught our breathe we went straight to it thanks to the clue. Great views. Just got to get
Back down the hill to the car. Log book getting full. Tftc.

called in for a quick find on the way home from camping at Davies Ck.

Nice views. Log almost full

Arrived at GZ to find a glorious morning view. Then for the cache. With plenty of spots to hide a larger cache the choice of a nano was surprising. TFTC TNLN SL

She who must be Obeyed sed 'You climb that flamin hill by yourself' 'I will melt here without dragging myself up that mountain!''Wimp I rekon'. And off i set.
Apart from the GPS saying i was somewhat down the otherside of the hill and not likely to be GZ, so I checked the Hint and soon had Cache in hand. Then the rain hit, but hot rain??? who ever heard of that, rian is supposed to be cold??!!?!
thanks Acko

A great view on a beautiful day. TFTC!

That really is a good view.

Revisited this one together with Ingrid and Avoloz.

15:45 - Together with Walterhellmut and Ingrid we found the road less travelled with new line markings ... from there it was as advertised only a short hop up the hill. what a fantastic view. Walter pointed out the weather radar and installation on Saddle Mountain. kwick find, completed log and back on the road again. T4TC.

How can one resist a cache with a view and this one was ooh so close, so up we went. The views were slightly marred by low cloud but not enough to detract too much from its glory.

Thanks for the cache.

This find was double the fun because I left the pen in the car! Took me a while to find but it was very fun and very different to my first find. Signed log (eventually) and it's safe and dry. TFTC

My eldest geochild found this one. Really magnificent view. Thanks.

Beautiful View! walking up that hill was a good quick workout too!!

An easy walk up the grassy slope to where the cache is located. Once there, the clue provided helped narrow down the possible hiding spots.
Once located the log was signed, the view was enjoyed and the lungs were recharged before proceeding back to the car. Many thanks for the great walk and views darlek caan.

A quick find, and a great view.
Thanks for the cache.

We were really surprised that we found quite fast, because we had a really bad GPS, and the cache was about 20 metres away from our zero point...

Biggest challenge with this one was to figure out how to get to the parking coordinates . Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative and the view was a bit sad and grey.
TFTC

A quick find, felt it could have been larger but with an idea on what I was looking for it was in the first place I looked. Sat and enjoyed the view whilst I scribed my details. TFTC

Did this one last week has taken awhile to log. Decided to race hubby to the top, sillly decision, one moment he is beside me next he is way in front LOL What great views from up here SL TNLN TFTC

I've been saving up all the Kuranda caches for just this sort of day. Absolutely beautiful.
The view was fantastic today. We too thought twice about the gate sign.
Met some people collecting butterfly's for a wild life study. They were curious about what we were doing, just as we were about them.
TFTC.

Found at 1:30pm .An easy find after a short but energetic walk up to the Comms towers.
I am however a bit worried by the sign on the gate that you must pass to access the cache.
Are we allowed to walk up this road?
We found the cache, logged and took some pictures of the views before making a quick exit.

A nice Nano. I enjoyed the hunt, signed on a roll Bridge to Cardinia.
