Logs
Reading the other activity logs didn’t hold out much hope of finding. Still had a good poke around GZ and like another cacher suspect cache may be covered due to recent landslide. Nevertheless enjoyed the location and had pleasant swim.
On holiday with my boyfriend in Australia. Found the cache quickly. First caching, then swimming TFTC
Now how clever is that? A container within a container. The larger box had some water in but the inner box was completely dry. And a lovely new dry log book_ thanks! One of the TB,s had lost his little creature. I shall attach something else for the journey back to europe
Found whilst on the 2017 #gnomehome adventure around the Australian continent. thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing us here.
The cache is very Bradley damaged. I'll fix it up as best possible with what I have on hand.
Very wet and muddy! Not in a 500 ml screwtop, but in a small Sistema! With two newbies TFTC!
During our 3 months Australian Trip, my boyfriend and I visited this place on the way down. We found the cache quickly.
Thank you very much.
Greetings from the Swiss
Thank you very much.

Stayed at the Campground and admired the beautiful waterfall and landscape. This one was found quickly, but it was missing ist lid unfortunately. Thanks for hiding!
No container. Someone has no put it back properly. But found the book. TFTF
My old phone GPS let me down as it pointed me all over the place. It is usually very good but not this time.
Today we drove from Mission Beach to Townsville. On the way we did some sightseeing and geocaching. This was one of them we found.
Thanks for the cache and many greetings from Germany!

After waiting for a muggle Dad and his two offspring to pass by heading for Murray's pool we were then able to make a quick, discreet find and sign a brand new log book
Many thanks for the hide corikra[^]

Wow never been here before and the waterfall was running full speed too. What a nice location! TFTC
A great place to swim and camp. Unfortunately no mobile phone reception so it's harder to download and find the GC.
The family spends all day swimming here and love the camping too. Worth a visit.
couldn't do one
and not attempt the other ...
especially as it had recently been maintained
still took awhile to find
heaps of people using the pool, the nearby facilities etc.
waited for a mob to move on before I started searching in earnest
and still it took a second look in the first place I tried to find it [:o)]
still got it tho ...
Signed log and grabbed geocoin to move along
then everyone moved down the creek a bit to the next pool [?]
so we ended up with the spot to ourselves, except for the mob a black cockatoos overhead
nice ...
thanks again corika

No sign of the cache I think it is gone. What a shame it is such a beautiful area.
Nobody has posted a find on this for a while, like 8 mths, I could not find it either, but there are lots of exposed hidey holes.
Mrs wombat found this one after spotting some typical cache signs... Took glowy things, left an agate. TFTC
WOW!!!! Have driven past the turn off a million times and always wondered what was at the falls. Well a nicely concealed cache and alot of fun swimming on the "waterslides" and looking at the falls themselves.

Decided to go on another caching trip. Arrived to GZ and there were a lot of mugglers however Cat was able to grab sign and replace the cache without anyone noticing. Thanks for bringing us here
# 683 The Monkeys and Champs have never been Campers, but with boss lady working up to Christmas and a severe lack of caches to find in the immediate area, it was decided to go for the first of what will likely become a regular C+2M CampCaching Expedition. With tent and three bikes in the back, we travel when and where we like and find food (or McSubstitute) where we can.
Day 1/4 Cache 3/47
The day was starting to heat up and the Monkeys had been trapped in the car for a couple of hours, so it was time to cool off. The cache was found directly in front of the car and then it was a slip sliding good time in the icy water.

A muggle was washing his car (here? Hmmm). But we were able to log in stealth mode.
TFTC and for showing us this nice place. Greetings from Germany.

We stayed here last night and it was a lovely campsite that allowed campfires (in rings only) too. Saw some beautiful butterflies at dusk too. TFTC.
Hmmm - spent 15 minutes or so hunting around for this one early in the morning - found the boardwalk cache, but couldn't seem to locate this one. There was a couple of great spots we thought it COULD have been in, but no luck - hope it hasn't been muggled...
Had a walk in the water as we waited out some muggles.
There is an ants nest now located under the cache, we disrupted them and they went nuts!
Hopefully they move to a more suitable location.

Stopped in today on our way from Townsville to Mission beach for Easter. A great drive in and spectacular waterholes and falls. The camp ground was very full. Obviously a popular spot at Easter. The cache was found after a short search covered in mud but dry inside and very well hidden from muggle view. Great spot even though the water was icy cold!
Located this cache after a brief search. Noted the perspnal pressie left by the Dicksontwo and picked it up.
Thanks corikra. Enjoyed the cache and the area in general.

We found it after a second trial and a DNF at the old co-ordinates. Happy to be brought here by Wazza & Kara.

Found this one at 8.20 am before the muggles were really active. So glad we were able to come back to this great camping place for unfinished business. Finding it first after it was replaced was a bonus, thank you corikra for taking care of that, sadly not everyone does, we have been experiencing, but then many folks up here have had a difficult time since Yasi struck. Took the heart keyring, left a personal pressie for the next finder or corikra if you care to pick it up (see our log for Up Top}.
This one is back, in a new spot. The original location has been destroyed by cyclone Yasi. Same type of container, new logbook.

To avoid unnecessary disappointment I will have to disable this one until I have a chance to check on it.
We are always reluctant to say a cache has gone only because we couldn't find it. However, given Yasi, what we have heard about severe rain events this year, the state of GZ and the absence of logs this year, we are doubtful it has survived. Sending a separate message to the cache owner.
The second "not foud" in the park. The GPS and the hint are pointing very clearly, what are we doing wrong?
FTF goes to Searchwise015. Found during lunch break. TNLN SL. Thanks for the cache.
