G'day SeekerVolls,This geocache appears to be in need of owner maintenance. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the geocache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the geocache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date.Jingeri

Couldn't see this one.

Please see if it is still there.

No longer there

Dog didnt want us near it

containers gone and it was left like this

Think I found half of it

Found the b/can but empty. Think the log has been lost. Photo taken as log atm.

Easy find. Super chill walk. Bring a pen

Awesome love a good billy tea
Although the tin won’t hold much water

Found, very easy cache to find, bring a pen as cache no longer has pencil in it

Cool stuf me and a mate got it

TFTC

As there are not so many Caches on our way, this one is safe for the TBs we got with us from Germany. Tftc

TFTC

TFTC was off 4 meters but

Started looking in the wrong place then expanded the search. The Dog on the other side of the fence doesn’t like geocachers. TFTH

slipped along the od rail corridor ,found swiftly, the old log had been wet and was in tatters,signed a new log sheet at 09.53am ,placed in ziplock bag then did the same with whats left of old log ,put cache back as it was, should be good for a while now,,tftc

Easy find

Found with RCWA

•200• UNDERRATED CACHE

WOW 200 Finds before my birthday, I DID IT! To the people who found that hidden log though... I thought it was the actual cache until a local geocacher out walking his dog told us there was actually a bigger container and that log was not it he didn't even know about it, very secret :>. Signed both logs and placed back where found it. TYSM FTC! -Fly

What a cool cache! Took me a moment to find it! Log was very wet I couldn’t get it out. Ill try and wonder back over and try again
Tftc

Found this (first one I found)

Good hide

Will come back when the dog is out for a walk. Visiting from NY, USA... d I nt want sister's neighbors getting pissed! Lol

What a great hind!! This was a little tricky but so good

After getting out in the car earlier for a couple of FTF's on the croc series, it was now the bikes turne so off we rode into town to get a few around there. Had a mixed success but more then face.


Thanks SeekerVolls for the caches.
Total Cache Finds 13075,

As we venture north to Townsville for the Mega, with Team de Ville (Imbunda, Peppa, patrol14 and myself). A bit wet today. Great hide. Worth a favourite point. Logged at TDV. TFTC.

Today is the 3rd day of our trip to Townsville for the MEGA Event and our group consists of TMZ59, Patrol14, Peppa and me. We were caching around Mackay this morning before heading to Townsville for the next week. Clever hide. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Day 3 of our Tour de Ville… having overnighted in Mackay we’re heading to Townsville…

Again, TMZ59 is at the wheel of the Habanero Sport, Patrol14 is up front and I’m having to constantly apologise to Imbunda in the back about covering her shirt in my milk…

We had a list two days ago… it lasted one cache before we started to detour… with some time to spare before we needed to be on the road, a new list was made for Mackay (pronounced Mackey)…

This cache made the new Mackay (pronounced McKee) thanks to its fave points… it’s raining again so that added to the experience here… spotted the hide no issue, but the log was a little damp & dirty…

Made our mark, straightened the camo and we’re on our way…

Tftc… log signed as TDV - TIPP, Tour de Ville…

9.33am
Third day of our trip to Townsville for the MEGA and we (Peppa, TMZ59., Imbunda and I) are caching in Mackay before driving the final leg.
Another clever hide. Logsheet a bit dirty but managed to write our name.

Found on 11 April 2022. TFTC, SeekerVolls.

Its raining here..log is wet signed the best we could..off to find some more smiles for the day.

Didn’t take too long to find but i tried what would have been more interesting if I was wrong in my assumptions but did it slowly. Replaced the wet log with write in the rain paper. Thanks SeekerVolls. Favourite point given as it outsmarted Orange Crew. Fancy blaming the dog

Searching someone's fence line and dog starts barking like mad. Super awkward

Wow , I eventually found it . That was a great hide found @1120-16/10/21

Ha ha thats a cool hide, forgot a bloody pen, photo for proof, found with Megs1985 TFTC

No luck today go’s took us to a house back fence and dog barking. So we left will try again!

Did not find this one. Thought this might have been an easy find but not today unfortunately. Maybe next time.

Ahhh love the placement of this one! Well done TFTC

Out and about in Mackay - day 6 of our northern trip. Our team members are RoddyC, hatzofff, Snickersallan, Grannysmith1947 and Youngoldfella.

Great ingenuity. Deserves a Favourite Point.

"Thank You", SeekerVolls, for the cache.

Day six on my road trip from the Gold Coast to Townsville with grannysmith1947, RoddyC and hatzofff. We all loved this cache, it was awesome and a favourite point from me.

Good one. What a lift.
TFTC SeekerVolls

Day six of out northern trip: second around Mackay. Out and about with hatzofff, Snickersallan, Grannysmith1947 and RoddyC today.
Arrived at GZ and after a short search soon had the cache in hand. Apologies for boiler plate style logs as I have a lot of logs to type up. Loved the billy and the way this one was placed. A favourite point from me. TFTC SeekerVolls.

New container and log sheet all ready for Christmas holiday seekers.

Possibly removed by owners or well hidden

17/10/20 225pm Found it. Cool design. TFTC SL

tftc, good hide

DNF SeekerVolls confirmed cache is in maintenance, will return shortly. We'll be back!
Thanks!

MacKay Day 4
Today we decided to do a few caches around the town area.
Yes the dog was still barking but we made a quick find here & moved away.
Tomorrow we are on the road again.
Thanks for placing this amazing series SeekerVolls

TFTC,
Out with Liz & Bruce and Nana nel who wants to make "GC6Q54Q - Where I Go" her 10,000th find for a special Milestone type of cache.
We walked the Twitter trail to get the numbers Nana needed and by the end still had to get another 10 and the rush is on, amazing what you do to help other cachers out.

Just finished the Twitchers trail, had lunch and now to find a few more cachers before finding my 10,000 caches. With Wazza9 and Liz and Bruce. Quick find by Wazza9, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to SeekerVolls, yes the dog was barking.

What a little beauty thanks and fav point

Was to have been our first for the day but, being Saturday, and with the dog making so much noise, we thought discretion was paramount and we retreated.

Greet hide I’m good with dogs he shut up fast and the content was a bit wet. TFTC

There was a dog shouting at me the whole time and some ants that wanted to bite me. So i gave up quickly

Cache guardian is too noisy for me to search properly. Another day maybe.

Beware of the dog

Nicely done! Very nicely done...

DNF had a quick look but set the dog off did not want to attract attention

Quick find while passing from Yeppoon to Airlie beach. Dogs o my noticed ya on our way out. Signed new log and sealed all so hopefully stay dry now but maybe needs replaced or dried out! Possibly just not sealed correctly after a find.
Hi from NZ and TFTC

TFTC. Logbook soaked and damaged. Added new sw bag with few bits of note paper.

Took some looking but master 10 found it....yep puppy was doing his job

.

Have found quite a few caches today with lots of finds on 21 Jan 2018, but no signatures on logs. This was another one. Log sheet was wet, so dried it off a bit in the sun and wind. T4T $ and tea.

The dog was a little hindrance for us as well but after a while he shut up and we were able to have a better search and found it pretty quick then. TFTC

Hard not to attract attention when the 4-legged muggle on the other side of the fence tries to alert the whole neighbourhood of my presence! Managed to get cache signed and replaced in quick time.

TFTC

Good quick find by our littlest.

Quick find for geokid with 19pjr79, GeoPeacock and Jezza

Found it

Log all dry .. thanks for looking after it TFTC ..

Got it, wetting difficult to write log. TFTC

All wet!! TFTC

Could not sign as log very wet. No dogs around

Dogs are sketchy. Found with a new Geocaher. Log is super wet. Can't write on it

Found it but log needs replacing TFTC

Today we explored Mackay to find the caches that we had not done since our last visit and this was one of them. Had to widen our search to locate this one, log is wet. Took TB.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

The noisy dog put me off here.
Had a good look, but no luck.

Had a good look but couldn't find, will come back another day

My first find! The bag with all the treasures in it is dry but the bag with the log book is soaked from all the recent rain! Needs replacing. Took something, left something, how exciting and immediately addictive!!

Thanks for the cache! Dogs were very noisy, but nobody complained. The container had some water in it, so I tipped it out. The pencils were wet, but everything else was pretty dry thanks to the airtight bags.

I didn't see any trackables in the cache, looks like they're missing. I dropped Brocksville H7HX6C off.

Got it! On my way to work and had 15 mins to spare. So a quick grab was in order. As my luck would have it the gps was out with the cloud cover and as I found the cache the heavens opened soaking my uniform:-). I managed to keep the log dry and replaced for the next fellow geocacher. Thanks for the hide

Quick fast little find hello puppies

Found it but didnt log it initially. Tftc
