Unable to repair

Even though the cache says it is disabled it is there and is only missing a magnet to hold it in place. A tall husband and a hiking stick got it for us so we returned it to where we found it on top. SL TFTC

Everything is ok with this cache, new logsheet and plastic (found the little box just near where we think it should be, but we've put is back where we found it). Grtz from Belgium!
 
30-Jul-13
Found it, probably not in the right spot but will email CO. Cache was soaking wet so replaced plastic bag and log. TFTC biggles58.

Found it during our 3rth week in Australia, tanks to Big Sammy who came by with a dry piece of paper. TFTC
 
16-Jul-13
Big Sammy made a drunken find here two nights prior using previous logs. Unfortunately we found the cache in a dissheveled state. Unstuck and soaking. Today we came back with some dry paper and ran into 2 visiting cachets were at GZ to take advantage of the improved logging conditions.
Thanks for the cache.
 
15-Jul-13
Will maintain soon
 
14-Jul-13
Great cache, but log is damp and is no longer attached 'behind'. It is now 'on top', which made it difficult to find because of the height and slant. Hope you can fix it soon, thanks.

Our first day of caching in QLD while holidaying with family just north of Cairns from SA.
This was one of 2 DNFs today, but we did find another 5, so a successful day in general.
 
11-Jul-13
2201. Finally found this one after reading the previous logs. Great spot for a walk along the beach. TFTC.
 
10-Jul-13
Out on a morning walk with my brother. My first North Queensland cache. Unfortunately this one was on the ground and the log was full. Nice idea tho. Tftc
 
09-Jul-13
Cache was on the ground and would not reattach the way it was intended so I placed in on the top of the structure. The log was full.

Did this cache as part of a geo fest with specimenX (Geocaching FNQ style-July '13). Great cache, great weather and enjoyed the company. Thanks for the cache. SLTN. Thanks mate 

Found with the geobro, Goldfinger777, on a geomission while on holidays at Port Douglas Big Grin. Found this one after the boardwalk nearby. Had a hunch where the hide might be as we were nearing a certain structure. My hunch was correct and made the find in seconds-I've always wanted to find one of these! Big Grin Thanks for yet another, biggles58!

Greetings from Wyoming. We are pit with Supergirl-1 after spending a great week in the area. This was a quick cache and dash. Thanks for placing this cache.
 
30-Jun-13
Having come for a longer than expected walk down the beach from Palm Cove, it was time to head back grabbing caches along the way. This was straight forward find (it helps a lot if you have seen that sort of thing before).

Thanks to Biggles58 for another cache suitable for tourists to find. Previous finders have indicated a need for maintenance without logging it as such...there is now enough space on the log for two more finds.
 
29-Jun-13
My daughter and I loved this one, very clever. Needs maintenance though.
 
28-Jun-13
Found it. This one needs maintenance. Logrol and one of the things you glued is missing.

Quick find here. Cache is being watched over by a flock of cokatoos.

Fangsoki and I were onto this one while caching about the area, Although it was raining, we had parked nearby and had to wait for some walker muggles before disembarking the hire car.

We did eventually and headed to GZ. Hmm, I'm not a big fan of hunting about this type of area so looked elsewhere. Fangsoki soon spotted the beast though, something a little different indeed. TFTC biggles58 Smile
 
11-Jun-13
Captain Terror and I were in Cairns and did a bit of caching while there.

It was not a very pleasant day weatherwise- but at least it kept the muggles at bay. Captain Terror was looking in the wrong areas when I spotted the clever and elusive beast. It was in good condition.

Glad no muggles were about for this one. TFTC biggles58 Smile

Quickly found on a very warm morning; TFTC
 
28-May-13
Was able to park very close by. Clever micro. TFTC
 
25-May-13
This one was tricky, had never seen a hide like it. Very clever, reading a couple of recent logs helped. Cache may need minor repairs.

Tool a while as I have not seen this before. Sure had my brain humming. I stopped short of ripping the road sign out thinking it was under there. Loads of muffles on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Lucky I'd seen one of these before Smile TFTC

Came here last week with the family and could not find it, came again today and found it within minutes.

Really liked this hide, going to fav this one.

One of the retainers has come off. Requires a bit of TLC.

Log was wet, dried a bit but it is on its way out.
 
21-Jan-13
Found at 11:30am. After attempting Boardwalk Views we realised that it no longer exists.
We found this one quickly as the odd thing out.
We did notice that one of the retainers has come off the cache and it is in need of repairs. We had no glue with us today or we would have done some running repairs.
Took some pictures of Double Island and the Scout Hat while we were here.

Found following an evening walk on Clifton Beach, clever hide, took us a few minutes to find. No pen to make log so I took a picture of the container and log should cache owner require proof of find. Thanks for the cache, M0zez and Karlos (UK)

09:20 - Found in the good company of Walterhellmut and Ingrid. Relative kwik find as similar 'containers' have crossed my path. Nevertheless, very nicely done. T4TC.

After completing Broadwalk Views (GC40XQ7), we headed off back to the car......only to realise that this cache hide was located close by.
A nicely placed cache that was quickly identified. Walter was impressed with the container.
Thanks Biggles58.

I agree, I was really very impressed by this unique container!

With dusk setting in, just another find before really heading off for that weldeserved beer. The cachecontainer was quickly spotted as we've had quite some previous experience with this type of urban hiding in the Netherlands. Nicely done. Does need some attention though as already mentioned. Thnaks for the cache!
 
15-Nov-12
Wow, great hide! Close to giving up, when geokid finds it- first for Cairns! Now I can head back south happy.
 
12-Nov-12
very busy. spent more time explaining why i was hanging around the big green thingy than actually looking. Then the rain got me. Whaaaaaa Sad

Had a struggle with the GPS for a while but on reflection we didn't need it!
