No luck here and a DNF for us. Searched the usual spots but being close to the highway abandoned the search due to all the muggles whizzing by ️
Good look all over and round for 20mins and so hot to keep looking always next time
Nice pile of rocks but nothing there. We don’t spend more then 10 mins at a cache while travelling soay be a case of cache blindness here?
An easy find for the kids however items in there are wet and a little smelly unfortunately. Needing something water proof.
False start due to reading clues and not checking co-ordinates. Took black band, left Little Shop kiwi polish. TFTC
Done with geowife on road trip to Melbourne. Took Buffalo Left Poker Chip..tyftc
Dropped off Norbert TB. There was no other TB there. Easy stop off on the side of the road.
Must be our all time easiest find. Cache container damp. Wiped out and dried in the sun. Continuing our journey north. TFTC.
Stopped in on our northern quick holiday.
Found the cache easily enough however the log book was soaking wet and container cracked. We couldnt sign the log due to the moisture so we put in a new log book, plastic clip bag and replaced the cache container with a systema round version. Shame about the old log book as it has so much history. Still in the cache for viewing though.

Easy first find on a Herp (herpetologists driving round chasing snakes) trip but lid has cracked and both the log and contents are ruined.
2nd cache on our way north for a swim at Crystal Creek. Thanks for another find
Quick one on our way back to Townsville! We put the logbook in a new ziplock. TFTC and greetings from Montréal Québec
Late Log. Found on the 23 Dec 17 on a trip back from Paranella Park / Athertn with the Geogirlfriend. TFTC

Awesome day. TFTC
Awesome day. TFTC
I am in Australia for 2 weeks, starting with the Mega-event in Alexandra, Victoria.
After an AMAZING 3-day liveaboard-divetrip in The Great Barrier Reef, my plan is to drive from Cairns to Brisbane. I found a car online that needs to be relocated, so I have a free car for 6 days, that's perfect for geocaching
Today I drove from Mission Beach to Alva beach (near Ayr), so I can go diving on the Yongala Wreck tomorrow. I was hoping to find some more geocaches in Townsville, but I spent too much time searching for caches along the way, so I ran out of time. I only got to find one cache at the beach and hurry on, but at least I got the chance to see how beautiful that town is.

Could hardly miss the camo on this one....small lizard jumped on my hand as removing...could have heard the yelp in Sydney!
Have a few enjoyable caching days in Townsville we are now caching our way a little further north to Mission Beach for our next stop.
We pulled up here in an unexpected drizzle of rain so we were quite happy when the cache was found quite quickly and our name was added to the log. Because of other commitments and a few minor break downs we are running very short of time and weren't able to venture in and enjoy the park, we will have to leave that for another visit.
Many thanks ACME_Caching for the cache

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Quick find in the way to Wallaman Falls. TFTC
After leaving Mareeba we made our way toward Townsville finding geocaches as we drove. Luckily we were able to stop while towing our caravan at this cache and made a quick find.
thanks ACME caching

Found at 12:51 PM GAFF1.
A bit of a surprise here - we expected the same sort of hide as "Ransacking Rocks", but there it was with a nice big "indicator" to where the regular sized cache was hidden.
Thanks ACME_Caching.

Hey thanks for the awesome Cache
It does need a new ziplock bag and note pad as the container is cracked and the log is wet

Found back in September on the way to Paluma and for some reason in did not log. TFTC
On our way from Townsville to Cairns (don't have to be there for a few weeks) caching as we go. Got to keep up the geostreak. On our way into Paluma so stopped off @1.28 and found the cache - log book is a bit damp, but still OK to sign.
Found on a road trip with my muggle bestie from Townsville. Hoping to convert her. No trackable there. Took a Ant domino and left a cow to graze. Container a bit damp. TFTC
Found it, contents are soaked and did not find anything acceptable to trade for my today toy.
Passed by yesterday to move the trackables. Picked up the duck but the other wasn't there.
Cache was a little wet but the log book was ok.

Geodad has driven past this spot many times in a work car but today we free to stop, sign log, drop off trackable, thanks ACME Caching.
On our way home after a great holiday in North Qld, we ventured up to Paluma for a picnic lunch. Heaps of people at Little Crystal creek but hardly anyone in the village, not even much of a village left - nothing seemed open.
Found this one after a quick stop on the way back to the highway. Lot of driving today to get to Bowen tonight.
Took Fish & Chips TB. Lots of others visited (hadn't logged the ones recently picked up at the time to be able to leave)

Heading north for the FNQ Wilderness MTB ride. Today was a short drive between Townsville and Cairns taking time to stop for views and cache occasionally on the way. Thanks for the cache 
Today we explored Ingham and surrounds to find the caches that we had not done since our last visit and this was one of them. At GZ we made a quick find. Left TB.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
