One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

After totally being in the wrong area - re thought clue and previous finds and found it!! Great hide - kids first one. Took marble, left. Thanks
 
02-Jul-14
What a lovely little park. We shared it with a Council worker checking the tap water so stealth was required. Neat hide found quickly whilst avoiding muggles in cars. TNLN TFTC.

Last minute decision to look for this cache on our return from Eungella. We managed 15 out of 15 over the last few days clearing all the active caches close to the main road, Finch Hatton Gorge and Eungella. Smile Nice easy cache to finish with even though there was a small group bbqing at the nearby table.

In town visiting family during our end of year break. Quick grab while running an errand for the geo-wife. TFTC!

Another day caching around Mackay, and a short drive out to Eton.
We found a variety of caches, including 3 puzzles and 2 multi's.

Thanks for the hunt today, Team MCNN.

11th of 37 finds on a four night holiday to Mackay for a wedding. I found this cache at 10:09 with Pipzi.

After picking Pipzi up from the airport we were headed for Eungella National Park. This was our first find together on the holiday. It was a very quick find after crossing the road.

I rocked on into the park while the street cleaning truck did it's job nearby Smile
The loud humming of it's vacuum must have been at the right frequency to align my caching brain waves and the cache was found in under five minutes [:o]

A quick detour and a short walk and I was at GZ. Spotted the hide quickly and was the first to sign the new log sheet.

Grabbed the "Dont get Frustrated" coin - I need some sort of lucky charm like this when I go looking for "those" tricky hides.... [8)]

The end of a good day, some of it working - the rest; caching Big Grin+ Cool
Now its beer-o-clock !

Changed out log book all good now.

Quickest find in Qld so far which is good as most of them have been DNFs. Quite damp inside. TFTC
 
12-Jul-12
A quick stop as we navigated our way back from Eungella National Park to Mackay. TFTC.
 
11-Jul-12
We were on our way to Mackay and this cache made our travels more interesting. The rain has not stopped from when we went to bed last night but at least it is not cold. The influence mining has had on all these small towns is amazing and some of the equipment we have seen travellling along the roads quite an eye opener.
Thanks to Team MCNN.
 
04-May-12
I drove past this GZ on twice before I realised that there was a small park located there.
While there was plenty of traffic driving past, I had the park area to myself and after a quick search, located the cache.
Signed the log and moved on quickly. Took nothing and left nothing.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

A quick find in the park. Cache was OK, we dried out logs and put all back together in original plastic bag and then put into a new cliplock bag. Took bull and left black lid. TFTC
 
05-Jan-12
Good cache. Very much water damaged though. Thanks Smile
 
20-Nov-11
yet another cache I have driven past for ages
finally stopped to have a look
no worries - cache fine too - even if it bears the scars of dampness
cheers

Found this cache and the log was saturated. Tried to save as many logs as possible and left a few loose sheets of paper. Needs a new log and weatherproof container. It was a nice stop. Tftc.
 
12-Aug-11
This cache needs lots of work to bring it back up to a cache that you might bring your kids to.It is soaked and very smelly.

1614 Found by babhy&Mrs gopher at 1140.Saw the rock as we turned the corner and thought there it will be.The log was accessed throught the stink and water in the container.Tried to leave our mark but?visited CacheMover coin.Tnx Team MCNN
 
03-Aug-11
I had to wait a few minutes for some kids to leave before the coast was clear. Log is in a very bad way and needs replacing, but I did my best to leave my mark anyway. TFTC
 
30-Jul-11
Cache number 5 of a little expedition over the weekend, although it was realistically only my 3rd find attempt as I had previously logged finds on two other caches that body stepping freak harvested along the way. The Magellan was bit cantankerous but nonetheless we had the booty in hand reasonably quickly. TFTC
 
30-Jul-11
Sats a bit temperamental but the hide became obvious when I went to the right side of the garden. TNLN TFTC.
 
30-Jul-11
Saying this one is wet would have to be the understaement of the year. I came up to GZ and scanned around for muggles. Coast is clear... Go! I located it after looking in a few places. As previously reported, the log is a shocker. In keeping with the rules of the game I wrote my name on the sodden mass. It has been many years since I have been in Walkerston. TFTC Team MCNN Smile
 
16-Jul-11
First find for the day. Unfortunately the log book was soaking wet and needs replacing.

Needs maintenance. All soggy. Swapped out snake for poker key ring. TFTC

Just found article in the 'On The Road' magazine about geocaching, looked like alot of fun, so we thought we would give it a go, you are our first find, one of many i hope. TNLN, SL, TFTC.
 
17-Nov-10
Last one before I arrived in Mackay and I soon spied the spot where it was hidden. Unfortunately so had about 10 million ants. Lucky the lid was secure and I shook the little blighters off. Thnaks for your cache Team MCNN.

Havn't been out this way since we moved from the district many many years ago. Mackay is certainly on steroids.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 77 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, and made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find.

My find No 2785, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped MINMUD TB (ref = TB3E6QA), also dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

Found on a day of geocaching. TNLN, TFTC.
 
24-Jul-10
Found late on the Saturday afternoon of our quick caching trip to Mackay. Im not sure how long this one may last, as the area around GZ has been just about laid waste by someone, I assume council, virtually stripped bare, and no cover is available for searching. I note what appears to be some youngster muggle scratchings in the log book, with no corresponding online logs. Found at 1725hrs.

Cheers

Saw this cache listing and had to have a look. The GPS took me right to the cache and I soon had it in hand. Woo Hoo! Another F.T.F. The second one in a row today. I left the gift voucher in the cache for the next cacher to grab if they wish. I accidently dated the log book signing as the 24th June. I was one day out. Thankyou once again Team McNN for placing another cache.
