It seems that it is time for this cache to be archived. We no longer have family living in the area and the cache needs some TLC.

Thanks to all of the finders

7/10/18 1138am Found it. Log Missing , maybe their was a cap in end of cache that is now missing? Photo as proof of find, could not sign. TFTC

Love this one! Such a long very green place. The lock is fascinating. TFTC.

Found with my new geocache friend. Clue was helpful.

Mackay Day 3
Today we decided to cache closer to the city, then west to Walkerston.
We found a good variety of caches in some amazing locations.
Hubby was able to reach this one.
Thanks for placing this cache Team PacketStorm

Thought I would pop into town for a ride and hopefully pick up a few caches. Pretty quiet here...only a few muggles out and about. The lock is very interesting. Thank you for pointing it out. SL TFTC

Edit: spelling

Very clever! I was fooled for a bit but I got it eventually! Nice park.

Nice walk to gz
Noted the lock
Cache found in the obvious spit
Being vertically challenged hubby had to get this one

Found on second day with geokelkin.. left swaps.. be gentle when retrieving it.. C/OWNER Please go check it an it has no lid and all goodies and log could fall out.

TFTC.

My husband and I are on our way home to Melbourne, after a holiday in Cairns. We stayed at Bowen last night so this was our lunch stop today.
A short walk, to stretch the legs, and find a cache before hopping back into the car.
Thank you for this cache.

Found and signed log while nomading around the country...TFTC

Stretching my legs after a long drive Ann's a bit more to do, I walked tri this one for a reasonably fast find.
A good hide.
TFTC

Only a quick look but could not find this today.

While MrX was at the tourist buying more magnets and ???? I took off. Where are all the flowers in the garden!!! Nice little path at the end. Quick find. There a lot of these in Melbourne. Inspected to lock, memories. I give this a favourite for its excellent hide and maintenance. Thanks for the walk and excellent cache. Melbourne

Third time lucky

Will return .. a lot of trees been cut down recently ... might need a check over !!

Stopped at the information centre,
And a coffee break, so this cache was
a quick pick up.
Thanks Team PacketStorm

Road Trip Day 3: Rockhampton to Mackay. I had a selection of caches that I planned to grab once I made Mackay. This one had lots of favourite points, so made my list. The co-ordinates put me a reasonable distance away, but reading the description put me in the right place. TFTC!

Found with Lea

A lovely find for Easter.

Meeting Rainforest Cookie at the info centre at 9.30 with time to spare. Went for walk to find cache
No luck and ran out of time. will try later today

Out today with Rainforest Cookie and Ratdog12 for a bit if an adventure. Said our fairwells near Grass tree, and we head for home. Decided to give this another try, as RFC had given us a good hint.Easy find at 3.00, when you know where.
Thanks teampacketstorm

Interesting container. The comment about the padlock was VERY useful

In Mackay for the AFL on this weekend and trying to pick up some caches to boost the numbers.
Was on the worng side of the fence after coming from another cache so hopped it, and the train track and grabbed it from the second place I looked.
Another great hide.
Another favourite point.
TFTC

Found it that was a good hide but found in under 30 seconds gps right on

Cool idea. Yep need to think out side the coordinates

#66

Headed into town for QME, had a few minutes to spare.

Cool coach, had to give it a favourite.

TNLN TFTC.

Another cacher in town for QME as it was very quiet was able to find a on my map.

Yep, did not get caught as I have my own like this, but still an excellent hide.
Worthy of a fav point.
TFTC

This was a last min find! About to leave and decided to try this last spot ! Best spot! TFTC

Veey cleverly hidden

After a lil confusion,
started fresh n pretty quickly found the solution.Might I say clever little hide there.

With Solving4X. Very sneaky hide. And a classic lock!

Followed the coordinates too closely and put us off where we originally thought it would be. Great cache though thanks

Love this one!!!! Super clever!! Found with RayRay. TFTC SL

Quick easy one with ChickNoah TFTC

Love this one! TFTC SL

Bring the mozzie spray )

Damn. Im almost disappointed how quickly i found that.
This is the last of my garden caches i think...unless there is one the far end i haven't seen. It's been a lovely day going to the movies followed by dome caching. I had to do it...was in trouble for not moving superman travel bug on and since i just saw the movie. ..and spoiler alert...he died ...i thought a headless, footless superman bug should at least survive.
The sun is now setting and it's starting to darken along my path so i shall toddle off home.

Found in the last place we looked . #1400 for us. We searched out a cache with some favourite points for our milestone (and this one had the most of all the caches around here) and we were left a bit underwhelmed. Not sure what all the fuss is about. It's not bad, it's just not what we expected. TFTC!

Tftc. Found with Connor and Tash!!

Just off the plane from Melbourne for a couple of days work out west...and I thought I would stop off for a cache or two on my way to my motel. After two DNF's, I thought this one would be too...initially because of a muggle...and then because I was just having trouble finding the cache. Eventually something clicked in my mind and I finally looked in the right place. After signing the log I grabbed the Trackable to take traveling...perhaps back to Melbourne.

Thanks Team PacketStorm for a cleverly hidden cache.

Found it and left the travel bug

No chance for me.
To many ants...

after quick look the cache and having trouble with the green guardians started looking out side the box found it where i didn't expect nice little hide TFTC

No luck for me today

TFTC - our 100th find!!

TFTC- very cool find! And our 100th cache

Nice little find nice park

Great hide. A quick search and had it in hand. A nice way to start the day before work. Thanks for the hide.

found with geniejoan

We reached GZ and started looking around for the cache. Then a worker on a tractor mower stopped and asked us if we'd lost something. We gave him a quick run-down of what we were up to and after he left we went back to the search and found the prize. We also checked out the padlock - interesting. A train also went by while we were there. On our return to the car, a local was opening up the South Seas hut for a lunchtime event and offered to show us around the interior and the artifacts inside, a chance that we jumped at. A favourite on this one from us! TFTC & for bringing us here.

Good one. It was in the last placed i expected it to be in. TFTC

Hi Found it TFTC

First we saw coconuts, ...but nothing inside
finally, yes!
thanks for this

Very clever hiding place!!

Amazing. Very difficult to open. Cool find

GPS had us quite a way away from GZ. Disregarded the GPS, read the clues, considered our options, thought outside the box and bam! that cache was ours for the logging! Loved it, very clever! TFTC.

12150 caches found

Found. Very awesome one!! Loved the lock

Loved this one! Another one that had the kids amazed! Daughter left a pink pen and a hanging jewel since she had room for them.

Well set up cache.

Had a great weekend doing some geocaching travelling from Townsville to Mackay with karicka. TFTC SL TNLN

TFT$ . Great cache, bring insect repellent as the mosquitoes are pretty fierce. Great place for a walk on a Sunday afternoon.

Found very clever hide signed log with little modss tyftc

Very clever hide TFTC

What a fantastic hide !! My Mum was up visiting from Brisbane so took her out to find a few caches on Sunday afternoon. We found the padlock no problem. While I went to find some clear air to check the co-ords, Mum reached out to the hiding spot and said "Do you think it might be in here?" ..... I'm not sure that I would have looked there myself. Definitely worth a favourite point. T4T$.

All I can say is watch out for the green guardians

T4T$ Team PacketStorm. As soon as I arrived thought check that and didn't but proceeded to check other spots that just resulted in lots of very angry green ants as well as mozzies. I'm seriously not liking caching in Oz. Went back to original thought and voila. Cool cache gets a fav from me. Cool lock too. Lots of fit minded muggles out and about today. Saw a beautiful blue butterfly too

Found at 11.12 hrs. Well there is the fence and the first place I looked it was revealed. Clever hide. Love these caches. Favourite from me.

Our 1st DNF today.
[red]We spent quite some time here at around 11:50:00 AM, but we couldn't locate your cache, so a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it before the mozzies drove us away.
[/red]Ian and Penny

How cool is that grass hut. TFTC.

great hide, had us looking for a while. TFTC

That IS an old lock.... Good hide. Finally somewhere quiet to look for one.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

iPhone had me 10 mts away at first. Read a few logs and got it right on the nose. iPhone did finally put me there. TFTC

Awesome hide. It took me around 20 minutes to find this one. If not for the previous logs giving me some ideas I might have given up on it.

Good thing hubby was not there, he used to work for the railways and when they did not have the keys they would pick the lock and apparently he was quite good at it.
SL TFTC

Enjoying the stroll and making finds on a beautiful sunny day. Quick find to geoD on this one.

Shayne from Team T-H found it...ingenious hide ! Left behind a Super Ball for those who can remember what that is ! Well done !

I lived in Mackay for 15 and left over 10 years ago, and never visited this part of the City Gates, but now that I am visiting and am geocaching I get to discover new treasures in the place I used to call home! This was one sneaky little hide. We scratched around amongst the leaves and vegetation, under rocks and logs, up in trees while dodging green ants with THREE different devices trying to find the cheeky beggar! TFTH! You are ingenious little hider! HINT: Stop looking for the obvious and look more carefully at the hidden clues.

Such a lovely spot for a walk with the woofa :0P
My first 'awesome' cache find :0)
Thanks for the cache!

Some beautiful places in this park. Previous logs helped with this one. Good hide - love these sort.

was 4 time there and couldn't find it. today i saw it, but it's absolutely not obvious. TFTC )

Seen this type before.TFTC

Did not find and didn't have enough time as had to leave

Nice walk love the old padlock. TFTC

Quick find this morning while heading to work. TFTC SL {#265}.

1st for the day and we enjoyed the early morning stroll to grab this cache and another one near by. A clever hide and not in our first choice but our second. Thanks.
