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.

Will fix soon

Adding NM log so cache appears in my searches.

Found it

Muggled?

Looked for a very long time while our kid played. It looks like nobody has found it in a while. From the last comment, aj8386 has found it before and returned but it wasn't there so may definitely have been muggled.

We found this cache last year but returned to the park with the kids to let them find it. Looked all over the area but did not find it. It wasnt in the same spot as last time. I don't know if its been moved. Or possibly muggled.

Found a few years ago but we never logged!!

Spent ages looking. Will have to come back another time

Easy find

Thought I would try this one early in the morning before the muggers came out to play. Nice easy find and best of all, had something nice to sit on to sign log, TFTC

MattCNS has offered to maintain this cache on behalf of C+2M

Cheers

Champs

exciting for our first try at geo

TFTC

Play time with Rachmo and KH8863. TFTC

TFTC!

Impromptu geocaching while playing some tennis with the kids so didn't have a pencil.... Very quiet so no muggles today.

Found it

Easy find

Easy find but had to wait until workmen left for lunch SL TFTC

Couldn't get this one even with the hint. Will have to come back another time.

Finally found it!

I found it after two tries. Hard at first but really really fun. This is a cache worth doing. And take a good look at the hint

We had previously met up with JackyLegs44 for a spot of caching this morning. It was nice to put another few faces to names/logs.
GeoKids wanted to continue finding caches after our round trip around Riverway
My eldest GeoDaughter made a quick find using the hint.

Dipped GeoKrety Key Coin.

After attending the event A pub (tavern) dinner and meeting some new geofriends we decided to join Marchwood for a quick hunt of some nearby caches. Lucky we had geoferal 4 with us so she could retrieve cache for us. (Thanks little ranga) Great opportunity for a few photos.

Biggest old frog!

Great fun finding this new geofriends Marchwood

We met Phoenixferals and Batman93 in the car park after the event and headed off together to find a few of the nearby hides. Great fun and plenty of laughs.
The littlest feral found this one in no time at all.

East find for a very tired GeoSon. TFTC.

FoxE's first find without assistance. We didn't have a pen so couldn't sign log. But did enjoy a play and photo.

had to wait until a muggle with his dog disappeared as we thought we looked odd searching around a kids' playground on a Sunday afternoon but luckily we found it pretty quickly. tftc

The clue was good!

A nice easy cache although I did use the hint

11667 caches found

good clue quick find

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache Champs2Monkeys

Nice easy find. TFTC!

Had a good idea what I was looking for so quickly found the cache. No pint size muggles around which was a relief. Tftc!

TFTC SL

Nice easy one to finish our day off TFTC

a morning out checking out some caches in this neighbourhood
was hoping to do some RRPT's
and grabbed this one while waiting for the rain to stop.
no worries here ... all good
TFTC

Happy to have found it.

I'll try again though !

Easy find in the dark of night. TFTC

Yeah again for Miss Natalie, 2nd find for the day. TFTC

An early morning start (well not too early ) but early enough not to have any muggles playing in the park ehich made it an easy find! TFTC

Nice quick drive by. TFTC

Third time lucky and no muggles around so a quick find was had by geoD. Then it was back on the treadly and a date with the pool

TNLN SL TFTC

Kids in this country seem to be at the park constantly which did not help me this evening especially once it got too dark to see anything. Hopefully there will be less small people about next time I come here.

Found while walking Geodog this morning, my GPS was off but previous logs helped.

After a brief search of the playground, the prize was quickly found. TFTC SL {#291}.

I've been trying to grab this cache for a long time but there's always been muggle activity at GZ when I've tried. Today was my lucky day! TFTC.

Another beautiful day in Townsville, after yesterday's rain.
We started out today with a drive to the dam, and then picked up a few on the way back.
Turned up at the park, at the same time as muggle mum with junior muggles arrived.
Luckily the cache was found quickly, and as it turned out, the muggles didn't want the park, they were going swimming.
Thanks for the cache today, Champs2Monkeys.

Had to be super sleuthy with muggles playing on the court. Tftc

Forgot to bring a pen!!! Great cache!! Thankfully park empty!

Had to wander around the park for a bit until the kids playing there left. Once I had the park to myself it took maybe 2 minutes to get my hands on it. I'm just glad I knew exactly what I was looking for. The hints were very helpful.

Ahh to be a kid again, capped of a great afternoon, six finds so we are very chuffed (and puffed) as we covered some Km's this afternoon chasing caches. Great way to spend an afternoon on the power trail. Well done C2M for all of your work encouraging people to enjoy our wonderful Ross River
cheers

Quick find on my cache ride for the moning. TFTC

Third time lucky. Had the caching glasses on and a quick easy find. TNLN TFTC

Wow just about to leave thinking that I wouldn't find it. Eheh if I was a little kid I would have found it quicker...Tftc

TFTC

Tftc was on the slippery slope for this one

Back in place

Missed the DNF, but had a look while out on morning run.... It's gone.

I've had 4 goes at finding this thing. Cannot for the life of me locate it. If someone can send me some additional hints that would be awesome.

TFTC.

Thankfully no little monkeys were enjoyed the park today so we soon had the cache in hand. Thanks Champs2Monkeys

I had to leave and come back to this one because there were some young kids at the park. I didnt want to look too creepy.

Even as it was, I was just signing the log when some young girls came down for a play. Thankfully thier parents were not too far behind. Sure, I looked creepy, but at least they were looking after thier little ones.

Thanks Champs2Monkeys

Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo.

A solid day driving between Bowen and Townsville. Much respect was given to each cache on Remembrance Day. Thanks for the fun!! Luckily no kids around.

Thanks to Champs2Monkeys and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Updated description to nano..

Never had a complaint about the co-ords.... will have a look during swimming lessons tomorrow morning.

Hmm let the GPS settle and was still 16m out from GZ. Soon had cache in hand, might be good to change the description so film canaster size isn't there.

TFTC

A quick find. TFTC

5 from 5! Running hot but I think my streak is about to end as I embark on the three riverside puzzle caches!

TFTC

The Clauss family afternoon walk..

Tftc a success after two fails... I think we are bad at caching at night
Thanks again sl

A night out caching with Corikra we both can finally log a find to this cache.

It so hard to grab theses caches when you don't have kids [:(!] but at night we were able to make the find.

Nice to have smiley face on this cache.

Doing some night caching together with Cat. We both don't usually do playground caches, but in the cover of the night we decided to quickly look for this one.
TFTC

This was our 5th cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 17:06.
(So this is our 4827th total find.)

Normally we don't do kids playgrounds - but as we were driving past, and there was nobody within cooee!!!!!!

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Champs2Monkeys for the hunt today.

Cache replaced as it was missing.

Cache is now a micro, so BYO pen.

10pm find after a few bevvies with the lads

Couldn't find it but there were lots of muggles around. Will try another time

After the DNF on Meltdown and the find on Puddles this was next on the list and thankfully gave me no trouble in the dark much as I don't like playground caches when the geokids are 1600km away!
Thanks!

Even in the dark a cache is not safe from being detected. Mraussieadventurer made it.

TFTC found it with Walterhellmut and wazza and karra after the meet and greet

This was the final cache of our after Event stroll.
Found the GZ easily enough, but it was MrAussieAdventurer who quickly had the cache in hand.
The log was signed and the cache was quietly rehidden.

First one for the day.

My boy did this one all on his own and had a ball.

TFTC.

Took a few minutes but found it!!! TFTC

Found on a lovely quiet night... no muggles of course! TFTC!

TFTC. Great spot. Easy to find.

Quick but fun cache.

TFTC

Had some time before the bowling alley opened, used most of this time getting in and out of suburb, But slid quickly into cache, had a nice walk to nearby turtle bridge but that cache was disabled, turtles very enabled. Thanks for bringing us into this area, TFTC, TNLN

With a whole day off for caching it was time to clean up some of the closest to home.
Dropped in to the park today and found the place empty.
A quick search and the prize was mine.
Great little park.

Cheers and happy caching.

Nice and easy once again. TFTC!

Another quick find!!! TFTC

Found @ 4pm. A quick find using the clue. Nice park. TFTC SL
