Finally found it after all these years. Replaced the log!
 
13-May-23
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

20-Aug-22
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.

First ever find. Teenage boys loved it.

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.

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

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
 
25-Nov-15
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

Easy find. Log a bit damp

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.
 
11-Aug-13
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.
 
03-Aug-13
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.
 
25-Jul-13
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 Smile

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 Razz 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).

TFTC RobS72 Smile

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.
