I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

TFTC. We had managed to solve this puzzle earlier in the week with some help from friends in Victoria. We are camped at Ross River Dam and thought we would come up to the park to find the 3 puzzle caches. We had a quick look around, but nothing stood out. This cache has not been found in 2 years and should either be maintained or archived. Puzzles are hard enough with out being able to finish the job

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Searched about but no luck, maybe the owner could come and have a look for this one

Couldn't find this one. Can you message a hint and we will come back later.

Successfully decided message.

Several pairs of eyes couldn't find despite puzzle solving.

Found the "official geocache" sticker but no container. Muggled?

Quick find with justafan1107 after we found a cache near by and the park is one i used to play in as a kid T.F.T.C

Had a free day so geocaching was the decided activity. This one had been on the radar for a bit. Found with choppersrule. TFTC

Day 6 Townsville
Today we headed west towards Rupertswood. Finding caches on the way there & back.
Worked on this before leaving home. Quick find today. The area was very quiet.
Thanks for placing this cache Champs2Monkeys

Solved the puzzle myself but found with assistance from BlackPearl26

Need to go back burgo78.. Still there

Solved the puzzle easily but fairly recent topping of mulch suggests it's either buried or removed.

After finding coordinates headed out in a night mission to find a couple of caches. Easy find. Live he sticker inside cache. Tftc

Solved the puzzle, now out to collect the smile. Greetings from Switzerland.

There was as little cursing from us ad a lady came by with her two dogs and a ball. We thought she would be there for a while. We chatted a bit and then she moved on. I had already spotted the signs of a hide so was able to grab it quickly. This is GC cache number 1700 for us. TFTC

Out caching with RobS72. Quick find after some muggles walking their dog had passed by. Log signed. Took and left nothing. Thanks for the cache hide Champs2Monkeys.

Had another go to find after Bootcamp and was successful this time!

Wow so easy but I love it

figured out the puzzle in no time the next day we got it on the way to school

[Blue]# 12381[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another perfect winter day to find a few caches around townsville.
We were in the area for a poker game & found a few caches too.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina, NSW.
Thanks for the cache Champs2Monkeys,

Found this morning trying not look too suspicious while a muggle hooked up a trailer nearby. Solved ages ago and formed a useful part of todays mission. tnln, tftc champs

Similar to other logs, co-ords will get u close but a quick search is needed. TFTC!

TFTC SL TNLN, cache in good shape.

Continuing the Alphabet challenge. This mystery too was easy to a day or two ago.
This morning I went for TWO caches(!) early, to beat muggles and traffic.
Nice short morning walk to GZ, must have entered corrected coordinates wrong, was 10 meters wrong but the hiding pace was a classic.
Thanks for puzzle and cache

As a Programmer, the code ws easy enough, but the GPS spot was showing up about 10m off. Worked out a logical spot to search and soon found. Got muggled on the other GC in the park, so had to settle for this one only. Visiting my parents ho live nearby, so had to do these. TFTC

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

Cheers

#6242 Another cache which we managed to crack prior to our visit to Townsville. We very much enjoyed solving this one and as always, we are quite happy when something starts to make sense . So with the co-ords in hand it was simply a case of getting to GZ. It was our last morning so our window of opportunity was ever shrinking so an early morning jaunt was required. By the time SkullDad had arrived at GZ it was not yet 6am however the day was already hot (for us southerners anyway ). This cache took a little to find as the GPS was leading us astray but fortunately it didn't beat us. The cache was eventually found well hidden and in good condition. Our thanks to Champs2Monkeys for the enjoyable puzzle and for the caching fun. Cheers [^]

Puzzles don't normally get too much of a look in as we travel up and down the coast
usually because I haven't done the necessary homework to warrant having a look.
... not this time.
Prior to heading off, I spent a couple of weeks solving a number of NQ puzzles
so I had quite a few sets of co-ords for puzzles to have a look at.
... more puzzles than time
as solving puzzles still doesn't necessarily get you a find
headed over here on the way out of town, for a chance to grab a couple.
no worries here
now hopefully we will have a bit of time on our way home to test some other solutions.

TFTC!!

Being the last day of this visit to Townsvillle, we picked up some 'must do' caches.

With the puzzle finally solved, we were able to go on the hunt.
After a short stroll, the well hidden cache was found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Champs2Monkeys, for us and others to find.

Thought maybe it had been muggled as we found a pencil on the ground and the clue in the code away as well. Surprisingly it was there so we put everything back. Awesome hunt, thanks

First sentarla and I saw a pencil on the floor and we thought that it had been smuggled but at the last second i found it. TFF

geoP solved this one the other week so it was time to turn this into a smiley. The only muggle around to avoid was a man walking his dog in the vicinity.

As per previous finders can confirm the coords are out but cache can still be found.

TNLN SL

Tftc tnln good cache

Co-ords were definately out but with a wider search the cache was located.

TFTC TNLN SL (#142)

Took me a little while to find as there were 2 crazy attacking birds watching me and end up taking the loooong way around under as much cover as I could, then my GPS wasnt playing its part until I read the previous log and yep I was out by 20mts as well...signed log then made my way back watching the skies above until I made it to my car.....whew!

Logged as Team TBA. TFTC.

I worked out the co-ordinates for this one a long time ago and finally got around to grabbing it. Ms MattCNS found this one very quickly once at GZ. TFTC.

Back for a second go at this cache with Mr & Ms MattCNS today. Ms MattCNS came up with the find this time. Found the coordinates to be out by approximately 20 metres for me, but will not be hard for an experienced Cacher to locate. TFTC C2M. TNLN SL {#366}.

Thank you Tiedye Smilies

Game on

We were surprised to see this offline when we went to log it today. You can put this back online as the cache is still there nice and safe and sound and now with the addition of a TiedyeSmileys sticker in the log book

Been a very long time since this was last found, so its not surprising that it has disappeared

I'll check it soon.

Solved the problem sometime ago and was in the area today, so stopped in to grab this one and another mystery cache near by. Arrived at the GZ, but had no luck in finding the cache. I started to draw the attention of nearby ground people so decided to leave the search for another day. Will be back soon to widen my search as suggested in other logs.

Prior to my trip to Townsville for Christmas with the in laws, I turned my head to the puzzles in the area. With a heap of solved puzzles, and a free afternoon whilst the crookedkids went bowling nearby, I decided to collect as many puzzles as I could.

It is so long since I did this puzzle, that I can't even remember the exact methodology to solve it.

A GZ, I had to expand my search more than I should have. This left me thinking I may have transcribed a wrong digit into my cache notes. The container and logbook are in good condition. Covered it well. TFTC Champs2Monkeys.

I have a note here that Pagan was responsible for solving this puzzle . We found the coords to be a few metres out at GZ but with the hint, we widened our search and eventually located the cache. 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!! Cool puzzle so thanx.

Thanks to Champs2Monkeys and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Interesting location.

2nd find for the day to try and get a few 's on some of the mystery caches around Townsville.

Nice hide which was a quick walk from the previous hide.

TNLN Thanks C2M for the hide and the challenge

Due to nearby road works I had a bit of trouble trying to find somewhere nearby to park but eventually navigated all the dead end streets and got somewhere close enough to start legging it. Found quickly even though my coordinates were 15-20 metres off.
Thanks for the puzzle

Our forty- sixth day of our honeymoon to New Zealand and Australia.
This morning we left around 8.30 AM the Alligator Creek Road House rest area for some caching in Townsville Along the way to the power trail we saw the military training area and the copper factory. We parked our camper van at the Loam Island Boat ramp and walked first South. After finding all caches except one, we returned along the road which was much less amusing then the walk along the river side. As we had parked our camper in the middle we continued our walk along the road to the rest of the caches of the RRPT and after finding the last one, we crossed the road to get an ice cream at the fuel station, as it was hot today. After being back at the car we went to the north to do some multi caches and looked at an African festival. After that we visited some solved mysteries and before returning to the Alligator Creek Road House rest area we visited the Coles to do the shopping for the last week. Now we are using the power supply at the rest area for logging our finds. In our geocaching career we never found a cache on June 16, but today we managed to do some.

We found this cache today at 2.00 PM local time.
The last one of today. Just as the other mystery it was quite easy to get the decryption out of it. We needed just two tries as we first thought it was the six one After crossing the field we came close to ground zero but we were scared by the fences. The gps pointed out still 17 meters to go, but due to the fences we could not reach it. While having the hint in mind we looked around the point where we were stopped and found the cache. So maybe also this cache has a mismeasurement. The new to build houses look fine. Tomorrow we will look for the other solved mysteries in Townville, now it is time to return to our place for the night as they have predicted some lightning and thunder.

#74 Getting the hang of these puzzles now. SL TNLN TFTC

Solved ages ago finally got the chance to find sl tnln tftc

Solved this one at home some weeks ago but today I was on a puzzle streak and this was number 4 of the day. GZ had me well out in the open but the clue got me to the right spot some 15 m away.
Thanks!

Justin's geosense helped us again! Tftc =]

A clever puzzle and a clever hide.

A simple walk in the park.

TFTC TNLNSL

Thanks for the puzzle, once we had it worked out it, it was off to find the cache. We found the co-ords to be little out but the clue had us spot on. Cheers

There was not much mystery in this cache, because Mr Wazza & Kara completed the deciphering beforehand. However I liked it much.

Had solved this code before arriving in Townsville. Noted that it was located in a similar vicinity to another cache so arrived and completed this along with its buddy.
Thanks Champs+2Monkeys. We have enjoyed solving and finding several of your Mystery caches.

First time attempting to find a cryptic cache Great spot! tftc

it was a fun find!

Solved last night and tonight after work I went out to get the cache .
TFTC

Immediately recognized the code but had to be satisfied with saving it as a note, didn't have the energy to ride in from Bushland Beach. Came in today to mop up town again... Parked right nearby and had it in moments. Easy find TFTC.

published. notified. solved. driven.security. found(no torch).sl.tnln.TFTC. FTF

I didn't get the notification for this one till I was back in the car after a nice FTF at Base 2.
I didn't have the 'tools' on the phone to solve it so I called it quits till morning knowing another FTF was impossible.
Got to GZ at about 9am and found I had a silver to SK, not a surprise.
Thanks c+2m for another nice puzzle and cache.
Sorry you had to move it.

Cheers and happy caching.
