We were in the CBD on foot taking in the sights and sounds of Cairns and this was one of the GZ's we came upon in our travels. Unfortunately we have to add our name to the growing list of DNF's here, we checked the fenceline and couldn't find anything remotely cache like. Being the middle of the week there were cars parked in the enclosure so we didn't want to linger around here any longer than necessary. Thanks anyway Team Amundsen.
 
23-Sep-14
Could the CO confirm this one is still in place
 
23-Sep-14
Five sets of eyes and no luck.
 
15-Aug-14
This is a new fence pretty sure the cache is removed with the old one
 
15-Aug-14
New fence looks like it's gone
 
31-Jul-14
Didn't find
 
30-Jul-14
The fence looks very new. Didn't find it Sad
 
Logging as a find as it is obviously well gone and missing and has not been maintained
 
Like previous. DNF. It looks like a newish fence will send photo... showing where it "was'. I have seen quite a few of this type ...applicable for it to be used a fishing area since probe. fishing line or similar used in its suspension.

Quick find, thanks!
 
07-Apr-14
Nice and quick find. Was confused initially as there was something there which I thought was sure to be the cache but when I looked under it, it wasn't. The log was full so have added another piece of paper which should be good for another 10 or 15 entries.

The cache is in good condition probably because it is in a nice snug area and out of the water.

Not a soul around maybe the rain was keeping them all inside or else in the pub either way it made my task easier and as I was approaching from the best direction I could see the cache from a good few feet away I had to start using the back of the log sheet as front is full but no panic yet, The cache is in good state TFTC Chingola

There are a pair of what in south africa we call kiwiets nesting in the area, and they will not allow anyone to approach, resorting to flying straight at you if you get too close.

Cairns January 2014. Between dive trips on my trip to Cairns I hired a car and went for a drive. A very hot and sweaty day, that was made possible by air conditioning ! I missed the carpark and walked over from the main road. Almost too far. Happily everything was in a logical spot and I was soon on my way. Thanks.

After checking out of our apartment, we still had some time to kill before our flight left to Brisbane. So jhisch and I went looking for some caches (bags could fortunately be left at the reception desk), and found this one.

Very sad that people cannot record there moment of triumph as the log is completely full.
 
09-Nov-13
6 of 6 today with gorgeous grandson. Thanks to others logs I was ready for the circuitous route required to reach the GZ. However it is very sad that people who overcome all the hazards to find this cache cannot record their moment of glory as the log is full. Managed only to try and scribble date in a tiny space. Beaut hide tho. TFTH
 
06-Nov-13
We went for a walk on the esplanade today and found this one very quickly.

I dropped by this cache on the way to register for the conference I had come to Cairns for. I didn't see the "dangerous birds" mentioned in the previous logs but I did see the tiny cache after a quick look around GZ. I retrieved the cache and just managed to find a spot on the full logsheet to sign at 2:20 pm. TNLN.

Thanks Team Amundsen for the well-hidden cache and for showing me the magnificent Cairns Convention Centre. Cool I thought it was such a creatively designed building that I took the accompanying photo of it. Unfortunately I didn't have time to have a look inside this award winning building.
 
13-Oct-13
Found this one at 17:20 while waiting for the welcome function to start. A nice, easy one thanks to the good coordinates. The logsheet is mighty full but I was able to find a spot halfway along the roll. Surprised

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Team Amundsen.
 
12-Oct-13
Easy find in good shape, Chinese muggle parked nearby getting haircut which was a laugh for us too!
 
09-Oct-13
First find in Cairns tftc
 
07-Oct-13
Midnight adventure. Full log.
 
07-Oct-13
Full!
 
AS per our found log, the log scroll is totally full and needs replacing. WE carry spare notebooks, but nothing the size needed to fit a micro.
 
07-Oct-13
Logbook full
 
Went looking to dispose of a geocoin we have brought back from Canada, but far too many people on the Esplanade near Walter's Osprey and in the Figtree Playground. If we had the grandkids with us it would have been different. Anyway, we decided we had to get one cache for the afternoon so chose this one. Had to sign over the top of another signature which was in red and signed with our initials only (B & B) TFTC Log is full.
 
07-Oct-13
Good location
 
30-Sep-13
Took me a few minutes to spot once at GZ. Didn't have a pen bit as others have said, log full anyway. Attach pic of GZ. TFTC
 
27-Sep-13
A quick find while out for a morning walk. As mentioned by previous finders the log is full and needs replacing.

Found at the same time as a keen young geocacher. There was just enough room for us both to sign (barely legible). Needs a new log.
 
21-Sep-13
So small

A cleverly done micro. TFTC

Our last day in Cairns deserves another cache. While I was still locating exact GZ my wife called me "got it".
Luckily but also quick.

Sneaky little sucker. My beautiful Geowife provided the distraction to the worker muggles hanging about whilst we grabbed this one.
