Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Checked on cache on out morning walk to find that both stages have been removed. Will replace after our short trip away.
Fangsoki and I sure made a mission out of this one. In the afternoon we arrived at WP1, waited for some muggles to move along, then got out for the hunt. I'm not so sure about this hunting about electrical equipment, but having found the waypoint, it wasn't interfering I guess. It was faded but readable still.
The co-ords were entered and ah, not far away. One look though and nope, not with that many muggles about. After a couple more drivebys of the location through the day, we jagged an empty park on our fourth pass.
We headed towards the co-ords and thankfully the area was deserted, being this close to the feature sure could make a bloke feel uncomfortable. We spotted the hide quickly and soon had names in the logbook. TFTC hot_wheelz

Captain Terror and I were in Cairns for caching and decided to drop in on this one.
Man - this took us some visits. We found the first WP - a little faded but still very usable. But there was no way we were proceeding to GZ due to muggle activity.
On our 4th return back - we finally jagged a muggle-free GZ. We wandered about with our GPSr's for a while until mine settled on an area - to find another cleverly camouflaged cache. It was in good condition.
The final caused us drama - but the cache was found in the end. TFTC hot_wheelz

In Cairns for a few months visiting family. A nice easy find with great scenery. T.F.T.C. .
.07:30 - Out and about with Brian 2day - introducing a Kiwi muggle to our pastime. First stage is sneaky, stage 2 was well done. nice and easy find. T4TC.
replaced log with a new, dry, waterproof log. placed TB thin blue line, to start its journey.
Once we worked out how to put the co ordinates into the app we found it easily. Love the cache. Very watery!
Tricky cache. Had to wait for some muggle kids to leave the GZ before allowing the Geokids to retrieve the prize. Cache water logged. Log waterproof but stil had trouble signing. Dried log and cache as best as we could. TFTC SL.
After picking up a nearby cache we headed off to hunt this one down. Found the first waypoint easily and retrieved the numbers for the hide itself. Tricky hide this one and a favourite point awarded. SL TNLN TFTC
Arrived at co ords. found next co ords easily. started to enter into GPS when batteries went flat. had several attempts at entering co ords and making a mad dash for GZ before gps turned off again. Found GZ and cache on 3rd attempt. TFTF. may need some repair. lid broken and log damp making it hard to get out of cache container.
First ever multi... no prob finding the first stage, but have not worked out how to enter co-ords on my Android GC Phone App (can I?)
Luckily we had Sensei with us with a GPS so we could proceed onwards onto stage 2.
Awesome hide!! Very well done.

Awesome hide! Silly me put the wrong co-ords into my phone and ended up half way down Fitzmaurice Drive... After trekking back and figuring out my mistake the final GZ was easily located:)TFTC SL
This nice little gem after being at Walk..er was even more fun. Everything is accurate, better than it could be expected from serious geohiders.
Again no muggle kids around
, maybe too hot at noon.
TFT slighly bigger CTNLNSL.

FTF @ 6:30am. What a new cache on April Fools Day? Just happened to pick up the phone to find a new cache in our neck of the woods. Grabbed geoson who was already out of bed and we headed out for a fresh hunt (and a play on the swings). Found first coordinates easily and the final was spot on.
The park is spectacular at this time of the morning with the sun coming up over Yarrabah. A nice cool morning for a nice cool find.

We were a little unsure of what we were to find when we arrived at the posted co-ordinates.
We should have had more faith, because after a circumnavigation of the structure all was revealed.
With the final co-ordinates now in the GPS, after a short walk the cache was quickly located.
The log did take some coaxing from its container, but perseverance paid off.
Thanks Hot_Wheelz for a fun outing to an area that we had not ventured to before.
