We took our muggle friend with us on this find for her first cache. This has certainly set the bar very high for any future finds for her. We loved the novelty of the cache but are a little concerned that the cache is completely exposed. Thanks for a novel hide. TFTC

Hot damn! That was a damn good cache. The damnable bushfire that went through nearly burned the damn thing. Damned if I know how it survived that, must have come damned close to getting singed.
And the cache itself was a damned ripper, even though it gave me a damnable fright. I really had to keep my eyes open in case there were any damned snakes in the vicinity.
Dammit the smurfie TB was missing but I picked up the damned French parrot which can't squawk a damn word of English but I left a damned croc TB in its place.
That was a damnably good cache, put a big smile on our faces and earned you a damned favourite point from us

Great cache. Been some burning off around the area but the cache has held up fine.
Picked up trackable QLD salty

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Dooghan. We found your cache "Dam Useless Cache" at 12:41:00 PM today.
This was our 8th cache find in a caching run of 8 Finds & 1 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9630.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was primarily to add to our current streak of "Most Consecutive Days" cached, (which has been going since New Years Day 2014.) Our "next closest" route took us to some wonderful & scenic locations.

This cache was a nice quick park-n-grab today.

[Green]Thanks for placing a large cache here. After caching for over ten years it is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches (without swaps) is increasing. While nanos and eclipse tins sometimes have their place in an urban environment these, along with 200ml Sistemas, seem to be the norm these days even out in more remote areas. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache here.[/Green] SmileSmile
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape, but the listed trackable "TB Muzieksmurf" (TB49R6B) is not in the cache, could Dooghan (or the Trackable owner) please "Mark the Item as Missing" so it can be removed from the cache inventory. (This option is under Actions on the trackable's web page). Sad .
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Dropped Trackable: "Coco le Perroquet."
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Very glad that the dam useless grass had been recently burnt. Judging by the other side of the dam useless road, it would have been dam unpleasant finding otherwise. Great cache.

Found it on a Dam Useless day. This morning I had flown my Dam Useless self in a Dam Useless Cessna up the Dam Useless eastern coast to this Dam Useless town of Rockhampton. I had hired a Dam Useless car and was at the end of a Dam Useless afternoon of geocaching. The Dam Useless sun had set and without my torch I would have been Dam Useless.

My GPSr was Dam Useless as it didn't have any of the Dam Useless roads marked in the area. I followed my Dam Useless nose and wound up parking near the Dam Useless GZ. Naturally there was a Dam Useless muggle parked nearby, but he was off in the distance walking his Dam Useless dogs.

I hopped out and made my Dam Useless way towards the cache. I didn't take my Dam Useless time and had it spotted within a few moments. Ah! A Dam Useless ammo tin!. I opened the Dam Useless thing up and inside found a Dam Useless surprise. I see what is meant to happen here, but the Dam Useless batteries had died. So today it was extra Dam Useless. I found the Dam Useless logbook, signed my Dam Useless name and rehid all as found. A Dam Useless cache find for a Dam Useless smiley. TFTC Dam Useless Dooghan Smile
 
23-Jan-14
Very dam useless indeed! Needs some attention though - had new batteries on hand but they didnt fix the problem. TFTC
 
22-Jan-14
Lol dam good one. Nice n easy for geoferals to find they were abit nervous about seeing the already spotted snake but were relieved to see a friendly little fellow with no 'charge' in him. TFTF Wink
 
20-Jan-14
Brilliant geocach!!! Loved it!!

Cache 22 for the day, great cache but unfortunately the batteries are flat! Took Doll. TFTC.

This Dam finder had partner stop the car at the Dam Useless Location, and thought that the Dam Useless grass was very long and good hidey hole for Dam Useless Snake. Dam finder found the cache, and liked the container, what was inside the container, and what was inside the inside container. Weather is getting hot, and sure enough encountered Dam Useless Snake. Finder from Victoria so not sure which type of deadly the Dam Useless Snake was. Didn't see the Useless Dam till the dam car had driven much further around. Partner was too busy looking at Dam Useful Cattle Egrets and other Dam Useless stuff with binoculars. A dam fine geocache to finish off a dam fine day of leisurely geocaching in Rocky. Thank you very much Dam excellent Dooghan
