BB found very happy girl! ; )

Great fun one with the kids but glad we had Geo Dad hunting with us today to carry mr 2 back up tftc

This was a family outing with my 2 brothers, 2 nieces, my cousin, her husband and our dog. They loved it! Thank you.

Great lookout, and no muggles around due to rain.
Took a while to find the cache, and did so by accident. Unfortunately the clouds parted as I reached the car park, so will have to return another day.

Was here last year and couldn't find this after searching what I thought was everywhere. Found it within 5 minutes of starting this time.

TFTC

Did not find due to way too many muggles visiting this area. Perhaps need to reconsider a new location for this cache.

Found it in the end

walked along to the look out. Is that the sea out there? Amazing views.
Did you know that if you burn pieces of Grass tree trunk it will keep the mozzies away?

All good here, TB's visit.

found with Rainforest Cookie today.

TFTC

Found it!!!! and swapped soap and angry birds token with scratch it and toy

Muggle family took forever to leave

Nice walk. Clue was helpful.

Tftc

Our first one so yay very rewarding. Thank you

Tftc

Found cache aswell. Tfc!

Has anyone found since the fire went thru? We spent quite a bit of time searching the gz but I'm wondering if maybe the cache went up in flames?

All ok with cache.

Dooghan

easy find and what lovely views tftc

TFTC all good. smokey day at the lookout.

Good one finally got the app

This was a must visit while in town, having failed to get to the top on my last visit to Rocky. I arrived just before 5pm and came across a couple from Germany. We got chatting and it turned out they had been in Brissy for the last 5 months, not making their way up to Cairns for a few weeks. I asked if they had heard of Geocaching as it very big in Germany... Yes, yes we have one replied... Excellent I thought, I can get into the hunt without fearing for the containers safety... [^]

I explained that I had been brought to the lookout to look for a cache and wandered around a little trying to find it. They wished me good luck and headed off to chase the sunset at another lookout... Shortly after their departure, I secured the find in a likely spot and etched my name in the log. The container was dropped back in place and I took off back along the path to the car.

Back at the top, I decided to head off to the other car park and take in the sunset from the other side. I arrived at another lookout to find the same German couple armed again with the camera. Did you find it they asked. Yep, I sure did...

Moral of the story for the previous hunter of this cache, if in the company of only a couple of muggles, sometimes asking whether they have heard of the game can be very handy. Even if they haven't, it is unlikely that they will try and remove the container... They might just get curious and try it for themselves...

Cheers Dooghan.

Noticed that the CO said he had never seen anyone here. Haha. We were visiting Rocky for two days. Decided to go to the mountain and thought I would look for this one. This was the seventh one in the 2 days and the seventh "did not find". Disaster. Got to this one and there were 2 visitors from Germany admiring the view. As they were about to leave, 4 visitors from Japan arrived. Then another group of about 10 arrived. There were now 17 people milling around. This just had to be another didn't find. Going home to Brissy with no success.

Tried to find but at 0m it was no where to be found. Kids with us and got ratty so had to leave.

Took a bit. But found it. Awesome find.

Did some sight seeing whilst on a short trip to Rocky. Nice easy walking track to the lookout where the cache was hiding. Tftc

Great hiding location, found this one on a very overcast day as can be seen in the photo.
Found this one with the help of my father

Great hide. TFTC

Awesome.

Great lookout. Thanks to the youth project for making it accessible, and the CO for bringing us here. The cyclones of recent months have caused much damage up here to the trees, and the undergrowth is being taken over by Lantana and cobblers pegs - in fact there are more cobblers pegs than grass trees! Mt Archer is NOT as pretty as it used to be, unfortunately. Found at 11.00 am on 1st June 2015. TFTC.

Nice little adventure

Found it but no pencil

It was blowing a gale, it was raining cats and dogs and it was a total white out. Some idiot drove up here dressed in office attire . Oh dear the track seems a little overgrown and I'm not sure I wish to be soaked right through just before I hop on that plane to head home.

Decided, I think wisely not to venture down the path (well where there may once have been a path). I'll be back.

Two out of three ain't bad, but didn't find this one. Whole area much battered by the cyclone, and this one possibly buried deeper than usual.

Good one

Came for a ride up on my motorbike and was hoping there was a pencil inside but no luck, photo log instead!

Great view

TFTC !!!

Lovely afternoon stroll. Quick easy find. TFTC

Nice walk out on a clear day. Easy find. TFTC

Found quickly thanks to good coordinates. Great views. TFTC

I was told it was impossible to find, but I found it! I am the conqueror!!! (or a super geek.) Michelle Mac

Found what appears to be the hiding spot - a hole in a log with some rocks over it and the perfect size for the container however nothing in it. A detailed search of the area found nothing. Appears someone has taken it.

Coordinates changed from:
S 23° 20.408 E 150° 34.643

Coordinates changed to:
S 23° 20.406 E 150° 34.646

Distance from original: 20.6 feet or 6.3 meters.
Did a maintenance run. All ok with the cache. Remember the GPS this time and took a new set of corrdinates. Not a big difference in distance but I'll update them anyway

Ahhh, Mt Archer, guaranteed to provide laughs, and caches galore. Always something new up here, each time you visit. Didn't know this lookout was here. Lots of evidence of wild pig activity along the track.

Cheers

Got it all ok. Tftc

Found by cleotorus

Lovely day up here today.

Found a couple of weeks ago with Jogjakarta. Took a little searching until the obvious place jumped out at us. TFTC.

This took us a little while as the coordinates were a touch out. After a bit of searching I looked in the obvious spot and there it was! TFTC!

TFTG.

TFTC. Great spot. Found while introducing a friend to geocaching.

What a view! TFTC!

Visiting my mum, Nana, and Peter from the US. I was kicked out of the house for two hours and this was my fifth and final stop. After likely breaking a rib at Watching Over and then taking a longish hike to a horse overlook, this was a cakewalk. Views were great! Left a TB. (I see now that I shouldn't have. Sorry. TFTC!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found it! TFTC!

Beautiful day for stroll around Mt Archer. Great view from the cache so it'll be worth the walk back up the hill. TFTC.

TFTC and the views!

Top spot, great drive up the mountain and enjoyed the cache as well.

Second find today atop Mt Archer. I was convinced this was gone for a while because my GPSr stopped on a tree about 3m before the platform. The 30cm clue caged my brain into a tight search area. Frustrated, I decided to just take pics of the nice views and walk away emptyhanded. Looked in one last final spot (and obvious one once it dawned on me). Yep there it is. TNLNSL TFTC!

Great!

Great spot -TFTC!

found on a trip up to visit a friend in Cawarrall, cache had no pen and unfortunately I didn't bring one ... Maybe taken by the massive wedge tail that was guarding it

Met some nice kangeroos on the way, not sure if they were out caching. Been here before looking for Rockhamptons Rock. This time a little more luck. TFTC.

Nice easy stroll and an easy find, had a bit of a scare when a really big Dog came racing down the track at me and near bowled me, To say I was releaved to see the owner would an understatment

Always enjoy a stroll down to this lookout, and the bonus at the end made it all the more sweet. Tftc.

TFTC Nice walk.

Nice one. I liked the container.

My 275th cache.
Thank you for a nice hike around Rockhampton and Mt. Arthur.
Regards from Bavaria.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

This was a lovely lookout indeed and well worth the 270m walk to get there. I think the foreground vegetation of zamias and eucalypts with the burnt tree add to the overall view. Very nice indeed! TFTC, Dooghan. =^.^=

MrMeccano decided to tackle a few caches on Mt Larcom, and this was first on the list.

Well the views were great looking towards the south![^]

We looked at where the GPSr was pointing and with no luck, and that constant fear of a wriggler! Read Ozibags log and he suggested that he had different co-ords for GZ, and while they were further away they did help me find the cache. While the posted co-ords aren't too bad, you just need to look a little further away for something in a moire obvious spot!

Found with MrMeccano on the Caching in the Hamptons weekend.

TFTC Dooghan

Well worthwhile coming. The walk past all those grasstrees and zamias with such a great view at the end brought a smile to my face. Knowing the cache was only 30cm from the track saved any environmental damage and the cache was quickly to hand. Thanks Dooghan

I arrived at the parking area and enjoyed the views from there, then took the walk to the grasstrees lookout, admiring the grasstrees and zamias along the way.

When I arrived at the lookout my GPS was pointing me into the grasstrees and long grass. After my brush with Damn Useless Cache earlier I was a bit leary about snakes in the grass, and stomped around while searching to scare them away (if they were there)

After looking around without success for a while I stood back and thought "where would I hide a cache around here?" - so checked out a likely spot and there it was

The coordinates that worked for me today were: S23 20.413 E150 34.644.

TFTC Dooghan

An enjoyable walk for a great view
Thanks Dooghan

This was my 500th cache.
Thanks.

Found it. TFTC

1263. Did the walk to the lookout and found the grass tree cache. Signed log and left geocachers day geocoin. TFTC.

1345hrs. Wow, what a climb in the road up here, and great views. Glad it was only a short walk as the day was warming up. Found cache quickly and returned to the car for more water. Would love to do the other caches in the area but it needs to be cooler. TFTCSL

Great lookout with views to the south of town, took nothing-left Samauri.

Found with Iron_Lung TFTC

Found a while ago with The Talent. Mosquitoes were at plague levels.

Let my people go!

Good hide. there were a few people there so they thought we were crazy saying stuff like "o its only 3 meters away." TFTC

At last a beautiful sunny day in Rocky. We made the most of it and got out to do a few caches. We particularly enjoyed the long views and walk to this one. A really lovely area.
Thanks to Dooghan.

A gentle stroll after GC35E1 – just as well as we lost the view as the rain moved in. TFTC.
