It was a fun one the cache container is cool. We got a crystal and left a croc gibit
Didnt find anything in it but we put a Krystal in there for somone hope they have a good dat
Super cool spot, been past here a few times and never even noticed the structure!
I didn't have a pen on me, this is my first time Geocaching, but this was a great find. Returned to its original spot. Thanks!

Found this cool cache in a great location. Didn’t even know this track and park existed let along this old structure. The log had seen better days and was unable to sign. Found a small piece of card in the car and replaced the damaged log. If the next finder could bring along some log paper and maybe a zip lock back, that should help ensure the cache remains active for all to enjoy! TFTC
Found just internal, evicted ants, and put back where found. Log needs replacing as getting very fragile. Fun cache, you never know what is in the woods. Fav point. TFTC
Took the dog for a walk and found the cache. it is not in good condition as one of the end caps was missing and the ants have taken up residence. I found the missing end cap near the path and have replaced it.
Cache was laying out on the ground opened, didnt find the lid. Have stashed it. Tftc
That was surely an unexpected object in the park and we circled it a few times before prying the cache out of its hiding spot. All good here.

Went back for a second look and turned sad face into happy face. Was a tough one though. Log signed and replaced. Thanks
Searched and searched around thunder box but to no luck. Will try finding again some other time
I went on a week long trip to Cairns to escape the Canberra region and do a little diving and some exploration with caching to keep me busy. The warm weather was refreshing after the Canberra winter. As usual after flying up there was lots of walking but it was great to be out. Day 10. This was my last day around Cairns and I went South for a bit of caching, even a few short walks.
It is amazing some thing like this has survived. No problems finding the cache today.
Thanks for the cache RobS72

Sometimes all you need to find a cache is another pair of eyes. Glad to finally turn this DNF into a smiley after another visit. TFTC - bloody well hidden.
Took forever to find it. Was well hidden.
Bring some bug spray for afternoon/early evening adventures.

Nearly walked straight passed it but once there it was an easy find. Have put paper in. TFTC
Had a look around trees and around external of the building. No luck. Nice little walk and historical area.
Yeah lots of mozzies but managed finding it in couple of minutes and signed and returned same place TFTF
Didn’t have long to spend here & was about to give up when Cl0gw0g found it (& for the record, opened it). Log was damp but didn’t have a replacement on hand, sorry. Great spot, TFTC!0
Looked all over outside of building, high and low. Looked inside as well but didn’t want to risk tetanus - or worse.
Finally found after many many mozzie bites. Was not able to sign as lid was screwed on too tightly. Here is a photo instead, tftc
Great to turn this into a smiley..thanks to to RobS72 for a great hide..Log signed..
Wondered where this was taking us and while we understood where we were we still wondered what we were doing here...interesting stories could be told I imagine..thanks Rob
Day 2 Cairns,
We decided to cache in the area to where we are camped.
I wonder what this building was actually used for. It did remind me of a thunderbox.
Thanks for placing this cache RobS72

Meeting in Cairns and of course a few caches along the way, or rather a few caches in the Cairns area.
This was one of the better places today, a given favorite!
Log is quite damp and could do with some TLC
Thanks for a good hide, like they should be!

What an interesting place to find the remains of a building found in every backyard in the 50's and even a little later. We would have loved to see some remains of the house that would have also been here. SL TFTC
Didn't find on first attempt. Didn't know what we were looking for on our first geocache.
Beutiful walk, great tube, though wasn't clearly visible from path (besides structure)
Checked on cache today. Replaced log book and returned to its original hiding location. All good to go now.
Second find for the day with geokiddies geohubby and tinky
Log needs replacing as it's falling apart from humidity. Nice little find

TFTC RobS72 found it BUT could not sign as I could not unscrew the lid so took photo lovely area will upload photo
After using the box for its intended use (not) quickly found before we were taken away by the mozzies. Log a little damp but still useable. TFTC
Quick easy find and minutes away from our temporary abode thanks a few in this area
In Cairns today, so checked on this cache. Cache all good and returned to its original hiding place. Thanks to TeikelTrackers for taking the appropriate action to save this cache when they discovered it all over the place.
Unique spot! Log a little soggy. TFTC : )

Found but not sure it was in the right location. It was just laying in the ground. Will report for maintenance.
Found spread out in pieces. Left hiding near rock & ant nest straight in front of shed. Please check on cache and place in correct location
Found spread out in pieces. I put it all back together and hid it between an ant nest and a rock the same size as nest. Reported for maintainence. Not sure on where correct location is... Sorry
09:20:26 - Not so early morning find on today's GC hunt. Introducing two muggles who clicked swiftly and are getting the hang of it - keep it up. Yes, very appropriate name and container. Swift + easy find. T4TC.
Found this one quick and easy. What a great place to hide. Was signing the log when muggle went jogging past but they still didn't even notice I was there. TFTC.
Found at 5:15pm with Little Miss Spinmeout. A quick walk in and find after using the hint. Searched the interior completely before submitting to help.
Mozzies were starting to get bad, so we signed and left quickly. Logbook is slightly damp but still fine to sign.
TFTC SL TNLN.

Found while in Cairns, on our travels around Australia.
Arriving at GZ, we saw a large tree hanging over an old tank.
Thank goodness we didn't have to go near it, it looked dangerous.
Thanks for the cache, RobS72.

Wayy out in the bush I've seen all sorts of abandoned things, mostly small items or cars and houses. Sometimes one sees some odd things, but as far as random features beside a path.. this is up there. And in basically, a suburban patch of bush.
On the way in with Fangsoki we had a chuckle at the railing that greeted us (it looks like it spells 'HI') then down the path and into the darkness under the trees in the late evening. And behold, there it was, in all it's random glory. Followed the GPSr in and with minimal light, began the hunt. I soon found the cache and Fangsoki set about getting some accurate co-ords as the posted's today had us some metres away - but tree cover is always an issue.
A fun spot to bring us this evening. TFTC RobS72

Captain Terror and I were in Cairns for caching and decided to drop in on this one.
This was a nifty little cache. Of all the items to find in the bushland next to the path - this one is fairly random How Captain Terror spotted this in the dark, I don't know. We found it in good condition. I have posted up the co-ordinates that worked for us today (bad bounce under trees, mind you).

I rode my bike straight past here just a couple of weeks ago and didn't even notice that structure. Neat cache. SL and managed to squeeze a GC into the container.
