Sorry. I haven't got the time to manage this one so I will leave this spot for another hide.
Thanks
Thanks
Sorry for the inconvienence but it looks like someone has decided to take this cache. I will endeavour to resurrect it as soon as I can.
We looked for this one for a few minutes before being approached by the organiser of the nearby event who confirmed the container has definitely gone AWOL and needs replacing.
Went looking for The Geocacher's Cache before heading home but there were muggles playing around and it was getting dark so decided to give it a miss, checking my phone there was another close by so headed for that one. Easy find and had the place to myself except for the mossies (suggest doing this one in the daylight to dodge them). The hint was spot on.
Went straight to the place I thought it would be didn't find it. Looked for an hour. Ended up finding it in the first place we looked lol
For us G2 coordinates were about 10m out. But we read the hint and found it no problems. SL TFTC
As we are going away we were on the hunt for TB's and noted that this cache contained one. We thought we'd take this opportunity to check the cache while we were there. Unfortunately, the TB is NOT in the cache. If possible I will note the TB as missing on the TB page. Cache otherwise in good condition but log book full.
Pipped at the post yet again...but hey it counted. My gps put me on a big climbing piece of playground equipment . Hey..it was closer to the edge so hotter ....but no. It had to be the logical choice.
Searched everywhere. Used handheld gps and still not find. Try again another day.
Cool thanks for find. Staying overnight nearby so my Son will be proud I stopped by.
Lots of little muggles around. Didn't look to hard near the playground and my GPS wasn't working too well. Couldn't find.
turned up there where few muggles around they didn't seem to care what we where doing after a small search came up with the goods signed and returned th the log and returned the cache
we're on holiday and traveling from Brisbane to Cairns (Cape Tribulation) and all places between. we try to find a cache every day. some are easy to find and some are more difficult. but with every cache we find we get a smile on our face and a smile on our map.
thanx and hot huggies from Hilvarenbeek - Holland!

My gps sent me all around but with some elimination and the clue, soon found the cache.
Nice quiet spot and no muggles around.
Signed and returned.

On our winter escape holiday from Victoria, we decided to spend the afternoon caching. After waiting out a small family of muggles, we made our way over to gz. Nice camo!!! TFTC gribbo71

8 year old Daughter was most excited to find this one all by herself by using the GPS alone for the first time. Finished off the caching day with a play on the playground. Thanks!
We've been coming here regularly for a while and forgot to look for a cache! Found it not long after someone else - always makes us wonder if we missed them by much??!!
Lots of muggles around today so hard to be discreet. Found it after a bit of searching and thanks to the clue!
Found this pretty quick. I tried finding this about a year ago, but it had been muggled. Good to see its back again
Now the fence was down, I thought I would give it a go.
Took longer than I thought as my GPS was saying it was in a different spot.
Nice hide TFTC

Had a great weekend doing some geocaching travelling from Townsville to Mackay with karicka. TFTC SL TNLN
After we started the day with 2 x DNF we where determined to log this one.
With teamwork we got to the cache, should not be this hard as it was now
Thanks for hiding

I wasn't sure about my gps going into construction area and didn't check previous post. Will try again when i feel stealth.
Was fenced off at the time but I managed to sneak in without getting caught. TFTC
Despite being in a construction area, I snuck in carefully and nabbed the cache. TFTC
Went to find this one but there are council works going on around the GZ and it is fenced off.
I have found this one before came back with friends to show them How and because of the tag its deffiently not there any more!!
Was at gz and couldn't find it anywhere, I rang a cello cacher who has found this one, they told me where to look, but it appears to be missing. I believe it needs replacing.
Had two goes at looking for this one in between lots of muggle activity but without any luck. Being an eclipse container I was working on the assumption that it was a magnetic so I searched every seat, picnic table, lamp post and everything else that looked remotely metal, so maybe I was incorrect in my assumption. Maybe on my next visit to Mackay!
Found it randomly while cooking. Thank you for making our evening even more delightful.
This was my second attempt at finding this cache. Last time I tried on a weekend. Big mistake! Today, I only had one muggle to contend with, and he had his head stuck in a novel, so the coast was clear for a quick grab. TFTC Gribbo71. SL. [#527].
dropped in tonight as I was planning to grab the TB and take it to Airlie tomorrow
cache fine - but the bug has been removed ...
