By Travelling Sister on 30-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3XRN6

Thanks for my first find!

Found it!

TFTC. Found about 10m from marker. Trickyyyy!

Looked for a long time but doesnt look like its there anymore

Ok - not so easy to find - but then found and logged. TYFTC

Coords were 12m off but the hint made it easy. SL and RAF. TFTC

A nice morning walk around the city with a coffee and signed this cache. Gz is slightly off but hint is very clear.

Found it

Easy find in the usual place, TFTC0

Coordinates a bit off but still found it

Thankyou

Blud found it

Spending the day treasure hunting with the kid. Second for the day. TFTC

Through two holes, ninety degrees to each other (bend your arm).

Easy! Where I would hide it too!

Sonniger Tag in Townsville, gutes Versteck!

Thanks

Did not find it

Sorry, checken everything. Nothing there

Difficult to find, but was fun to find with @Mike250

Found with my son (OGMemes) and daughter, despite the coordinates we knew it had it to be where we thought it was. I'm returning to where I grew up between 84-88 and 95-96, to visit family and show my kids Townsville.TFTC. We were not equipped with a pen, but I have a photo if the CO requests.

I found this geocache but Im due to the fact that it was late at night I didnt have a pen so I wasnt able to sign it but it was very well hidden

Found with spakkles

Found it with MushMushMoose

539 finds 5:59 pm 15/10/2023Last cache before dinner so headed out. With my GPS leading me the other way I stuck with where I thought it would be and there it was. Thanks for a quick find tonight.TFTC

Had a decent look couldn’t find after a while of looking even at the hints, may be misplaced

Looked around for a while and couldnt find it

Headed up here from the Strand and grabbed the resident TB which was inside. All good and replaced as found.

A Saturday off before some more tasks tomorrow so keen to make the most of it. Got dropped off at 0900 at Jezzine Barracks and wandered up and down (and under!) The Strand and covered just over 18kms on foot before investing in a taxi back 'home'. A productive day, though not massive numbers, and a few Ad Lab stages, but enough to keep ticking over and seeing more of Townsville's charms. Thanks to all COs for their efforts.

A fun lunch time outing with the co-workers!

Found it!

We seen the earlier logs and thought it may be missing. On reading the hint, we were able to locate the cache Singned

DNF today

Couldn't find. Did find some old underwear tho...

Je profite de mon voyage a travers le monde et de mon temps libre pour faire du Geocaching.

En mode road trip, je sillonne quantité de beaux pays pour découvrir où re-découvrir pleins d'endroits. Des paysages à couper le souffle, de l'histoire, de l'architecture,  de la gastronomie.

Les jours se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas.

Je fais la connaissance de gens vraiment accueillants et sympathiques.

Si je pouvais avoir autant de found-it que de kilomètre au compteur, je serais vraiment ravi.

Je cherche et je trouve toutes sortes de caches sur le chemin de mes pérégrinations.

De toutes les tailles,  de toutes le cotations  et de différents types. Avec des succès,  de la réflexion, des difficultés.  Tout ce qui fait que le GC est vraiment une activité à part. Et qui pour ma part occupe une place importante dans ma vie.

Merci à tous les owners pour leur recherches, le travail qu'ils effectuent, les maintenances.


English version


I take my journey through the wolrd and of my free time to geocaching.

In road trip fashion, I travel many beautiful country to discover where rediscover full of places.  Landscapes breathtaking, history, architecture, gastronomy.

The days are not alike.

I meet really welcoming and friendly people.

If I could have as many found-it that kilometer counter, I would be really delighted.

I seek and I find all kinds of caches on the way to my wanderings.

Of all sizes, of all the quotes and types.  With success, reflection, difficulties.  Anything that makes the GC is really a separate activity.  And that for me is an important part in my life.

Thank you to all the owners for their research, the work they do, maintenance

Aprovecho mi viaje por mundo y mi tiempo libre para hacer Geocaching.

En el modo de viaje por carretera, viajo a través de muchos países hermosos para descubrir dónde redescubrir muchos lugares.  Impresionantes paisajes, historia, arquitectura, gastronomía.

Los días se suceden y no son iguales.

Conozco gente muy acogedora y amable.

Si pudiera tener tantos kilómetros encontrados como kilómetros en el reloj, sería muy feliz.

Busco y encuentro todo tipo de alijos en el camino de mis peregrinaciones.

De todos los tamaños, de todas las clasificaciones y de diferentes tipos.  Con aciertos, reflexión, dificultades.  Todo lo que hace del GC verdaderamente una actividad aparte.  Y que por mi parte ocupa un lugar importante en mi vida.

Gracias a todos los propietarios por su investigación, el trabajo que hacen, los mantenimientos.

Maybe missing from the spot? Found the big hole but nothing inside

Amazing find. Left a trackable inside

Not to hard to find for a First ever find 2 really nice coins inside thanks for the hunt was fun took a bit really had to think tried the best not to use the hint but I think you need to use it thanks

Cool spot! Took me a minute to find!

Cool find! Took me a minute to find!

Left a token btw

Looked at a sport that didn’t particularly need guarding and found it in deeper than it needed to be.

That was our fourth time going back there looking for it. Now we aren’t rookies we’ve got our game on and it ended up being an easy find for the eagle eye. 13m away from where it says it is

Super sneaky hurt my hands so fun

Nice quick find on our walk from the city to the Strand. Tftc

Nowhere to be found

??????

Couldn't find it

Nice quick find.

We are getting so good at this! We found a shell in this one.

Quick find in the dark. Quite a few muggles about so used the clue and went straight to it. Just a couple of blocks from accommodation in Townsville. Thanks.

Hunted around a bit and finally found it! TFTC

My 100th find in this series. Plenty of nearby parking...at least on a Saturday afternoon. Cache and log in great condition. TFTC Travelling Sister.

Just started, very thrilled to find this one

Checked where the hint said but it wasn't there.

All OK

A quick find that to the clue. GPS was sending us further Ali g
TFTC

Here from the U.S. doing some research, got some great friends to find this after dinner. TFTC and God Bless Australia!

Thanks for the cache and hint. A good hiding place. Well done.

We are getting to know the cycle trails around Townsville, and quicker ways to get into town. Today was Market day so we decided to get breakfast in town. Nice easy ride into town, as as we went a different way, there were caches along the trail 'Bonus'.

Thankfully previous logs pointed us in the right direction.

Thanks Travelling Sister for the caches.

Perhaps some CO attention needed here:

- Satellites had our GZ 13m south of where we found the cache. Other logs record a similar situation.

- See previous logs regarding need for a new cache log.

- See previous logs about the container. Not sure the current container would pass Guideline scrutiny.

Found after getting out of the Escape Academy's Pandora room in 41 minutes.

Following an Event filled weekend, we had the opportunity to seek out some of the caches we had put on a list before leaving home. We found this part of Townsville totally fascinating. Another Mary MacKillop to add to our collection.

Satellites today had our GZ 13 metres south of where we found the cache.

Thanks Travelling Sister for placing interesting caches on the geo-gameboard.

It’s Mega time once again!! Woo hoo!! Love these epic road trips and a wonderful Mega event. Managed to cache with loads of different people throughout the long weekend - such a fun way to cache! Have signed as SCG, X, Snag, Capital crunchers, NRC, Nibletricecakes, Minifigas, Minifig or some combination of the above! Thanks to everyone in the region for the top quality caching. Appreciate your efforts planting and maintaining these caches.

Day 4 of my Townsville trip for the Mega with SnappyTomCats. After dinner the night was too nice to waste so we decided to venture out into the darkness to find some more spots to investigate.
Mary MacKillop certainly got around. We have a few of these where I come from. We had some navigation issues but soon found a place to park, walked up the steps & located the cache.
Thanks for the cache TravellingSister

Today I was travelling with Albida33 in the company of Nibletricecakes and GLISS! I know we passed this one a few times before it became a priority, but here we are and the cache as it was then was soon found and the log signed. Yes it was a prettier imitation of a cache but there was a log that we could write our names on
Thanks for your guidance Albida33 .

Great to find another Mary Mc cache. A quick find. TFTC.

Tiny

Didn’t see anything where I initially looked. But dug a little deeper and came up with the goods. Interesting choice of container - but it works! TFTC. NB: coords are about 10m away

Day 4 of our Townsville Mega event weekend. After a full day of caching the Strand with hevwalker we had a great meal at a steakhouse across from our Hotel and then headed out into the night to finalise a couple of Ad labs back down on the STand and the Barracks gardens plus knock off a couple of Trads. Crikey, she certainly got around..I had no idea she got so far north. TFTC

We (Tour de Ville) are in Townsville for the Mega Event over Easter. We are getting Caches around the City today. We are joined today by The Davinells.

This is a must for some as it is a Mary Mackillop.

Thanks for another great cache. We are having a ball. Logged signed as Tour de Ville and Davinells.

??????

Tour de Ville is caching around Townsville today with Davinells. We are in Townsville for the MEGA Event. This was a quick park and grab but I think it was a replacement cache that we signed and replaced. TFTC

Tankengine, Youban and I have made it up to Townsville for the Mega event.

Day Two and we were off for a day of caching and head to the Mega site.

This cache: Obviously reading all the past logs this one has been in a very bad way for a very long time without any care of CO.

We have made a make shift container with a log sheet. Tftc!!!

3.38pm
In Townsville after our 3 day drive from Brisbane and Tour de Ville (TDV-TIPP -TMZ59, Imbunda, Peppa and patrol14) and Davinells are targeting caches on our to do list. While on our way to another we took a wrong turn and was going past so stopped to grab this one. Found the temporary cache SL then returned as found. Unfortunately didn't have a replacement container with me to do running repairs.

Found on 15 April 2022. TFTC, Travelling Sister.

After a massive day exploring and caching around Pallarenda, there was still time left in the day to team up with Tour de Ville and grab a few more caches around the city.
Found this one along our journey.
Tftc

After a big day at Pallarenda, and despite the fact that I couldn’t walk straight, and Davinells was starting to look like she’d left her Emotional Support Water Bottle in Toowoomba we joined the other members of Tour de Ville for a raid around the city…

Thanks for another great cache during the event known as Mega…

Log signed as Tour de Ville & Davinells… ??

We so need a stamp…
