Diesen Cache habe ich als Teil des Teams LaMaLaMa (jetzt: Mr_Lama) gefunden.
Da sich das Team leider getrennt hat, logge ich nun unter meinem neuen Account Lærry nach.

Ich hoffe auf Euer Verständnis und danke Euch für’s Verstecken der vielen tollen Dosen!
Selbstverständlich werde ich jedem Cache einen Favo hinterlassen, bei dem es der ursprüngliche Account auch getan hatte. Falls ich einen Cache vergesse, dürft ihr mich gerne anschreiben.

Ich wünsche Euch viele tolle Caches und sage zum Abschluss: Bis bald im Wald!
Liebe Grüße von Lærry

I found this cache as a member of the team LaMaLaMa (now: Mr_Lama).
Since the team unfortunately split up, I am re-logging with my new account Lærry.

I hope you will understand.
Furthermore I thank you for hiding the many great caches!
Of course I will leave a favo to each cache where the original account did it. If I forget a cache, you are welcome to write to me.

Best wishes, Lærry

As this one had a few DNF we decided to drive by and check it out, seems its gone and GZ has changed since it was placed. Time it was going. I will try to get another one here soon

House sitting locally for two weeks, had to pick an area today for the touristy thing and caching. Mackay CBD won today. Planned to visit the Art Deco buildings in town.

Today, after searching for a while we were muggles by a group of desperate housewives on their way to a tupperware party. May have to come back another time. Thanks Rainforest Cookie

I never knew this was the old station.
Its a shame they still don't use the old stations anymore.
Much nicer than the modern concrete buildings they use now.
Thanks for bringing me hereSmile
 
23-Jun-15
6:35am grab while on my way to work. No muggle activity around at this crazy time of the morning, so a quick find and sign.

Log signed. The cache container and contents were found to be in excellent condition.

Finding this cache has now given me a total find count of 1376.

Thanks for the Cache hide Rainforest Cookie Smile

I was awake early so I went out caching before getting ready for work. Without a car, my choices of caches was a bit limited so after making my way out to a similarly themed cache in West Mackay, I was heading back into town and came past this cache. Fortunately it was still quite early in the morning as this meant I was able to freely search for the cache in a location that I thought was a bit questionable. Still a find is a find...and I found this cache.

Thanks Rainforest Cookie for the cache.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Rainforest Cookie. We found your cache "THEY USE TO BE HERE." at 11:14:00 AM today.
This was our 4th cache find in a caching run of 9 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9692.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was primarily to add to our current streak of "Most Consecutive Days" cached, (which has been going since New Years Day 2014.) Our "next closest" route took us to some wonderful & scenic locations.

Finally a muggle free time to log this cache.[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

The old railway use to be here, now there's a Gym. Found this geocache but the hint didn't really make much sense, assuming there use to be a garden there before the Down low, under and up. Wink with Jrod #ampmky
