Too many DNF's and no response from CO.

Have had a few good looks - not there.

Lots of DNF's. Owner needs to check it.

No luck.

Had a pretty extensive look and found nothing..

Not game enough to climb into bush

So not game to go into the bushes :/

Looked and looked but couldn't find it.

This is the second time I have searched for this one without any luck. Might need checking.

Didn't find it

Beat about the bushes but no success

Didn't have time to search more extensively

After flying into Cairns for a girls weekend of caching in and around Port Douglas, we decided to grab some of the caches along the coast.
Unfortunately this one eluded us, and after some extensive searching decided on a DNF and left it to the mozzies.

Found it!
Took "Surf Coast Event 2016" left "Trigger Clown Fish"

NOTE on 27 February 2016:

Thanks to MorrisHG, we know now that our **'Clown Trigger' TB** lost the fish & chain. They disappeared so not attached anymore to the metal plate, which is a shame...

Could the next person who takes the metal plate, please attach a ribbon (or something which will remind people of a fish) to it so that the TB plate on its own has less chance of getting lost!

Many thanks in advance !!!

No planes but a nice cache.TFTC

Nice spot fantastic guardian besides cache

Needs maintainence. Contence soaked.

Hi there!! Found this today but unfortunately it's waterlogged so couldn't sign. Thanks for showing me a clandestine part of Machans-famous amongst some locals I'm told!;)

Great hide. Totally waterlogged and couldn't sign. Took TB, geokid loved the planes flying over, thanks for the find.

Cairns Dive Trip March 2015. After a shortened first dive drip I decided a day trip out caching would be the way to go. After getting amongst the greenery to get the cache I was just about to leave and a plane came in for a landing. Wow, I could almost touch it ! Thanks.

Clever

Very tricky to find we thought it was

in the tree.

Dad and geo kids strikes again. Phone was useless but used our brain for likely location. Jackpot.

Left new log needs new container

Nice spot took pencil topper rubber and left pirate coin

2nd geo this time with husband

Found while on a family holiday.

Quick find. The log book was soaked so could not log. Did stay and watch a few planes fly overhead! TFTC

This cache is absolutely soaked so much so that I couldn't sign the log. I got attacked by mozzies so take repellent when you go here. The cache was sitting out in full view so tucked it away.

Found, container full of water can not log

Found with team motto.

Tftc

Awesome find. The log book is a bit damp! found it with choppa11 TNLN TFTC

TFTC TNLN found it with Choppa11. Log book is a bit damp

Easy find, trackable dropped

Easy find

Found it this time. Looks like someone has hidden it in plain view now. Definitely wasn't in the same spot last time I looked.
Luckily it was a quick find as I didn't plan to rummage through rubbish on the side of the road for too long again.
A couple of noisy planes went over head, adding fuel to the smell of something already dead in the nearby vicinity.
Anyway, thanks for the smiley.
Travel Bug 'Turtle' not in cache.

A quick grab on my way around Cairns. TFTC.

Tftc

W/ radxxx & geokids, sneaky cache on way into town.

Easy find. TFTC!

TFTC. Night caching with OzKEG Didn't see a TB though.

In Cairns for a few days for business. Out with Jump Pilot doing some night caching in the rain. Quick and easy find. Thanks TheBigDragon

Quick find had to be a bit sneaky as there was a group of lads at the end of the road on their trail bikes.

Dropped off a turtle travel bug which would like to go to the reef, so if you are heading out there would be great if you could stop by and collect him.

Rainy day today clouds covering the mountains.

Tftc

Rocked up to GZ and the planes were zooming overhead, really close. Hunted for a little while and found the container full of an ants nest.
Cleaned the container and added a fresh baggy to the logbook which was a little damp.
Took the TB which was starting to rust and the chain gave way which I will repair when I get back to Brisbane.
TTBLN TFTC Thanks TheBigDragon All good with this cache after a clean

TFTC

Planes are fun for the geokids. TFTC TNLN. No TB in cache

Very easy! TNLNSL TFTC !

Very easy TNLN planes are amazing

Found on our "Making Memories" tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored Cairns and surrounding area using geocaching as our guide.

Many thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.

Busy day for the airport.. 3 planes coming in while I was there... no TB in the cache

This cache was a nice hide and the ants thought so too! Heaps of them crawled out! Yuk! Managed to shake them all out as well as all the contents, sign log and rehide. Them we did as suggested and watched a few planes fly over.

Nice hiding spot, took the gambling chip to put in Bundaberg somewhere tomorrow, I had a TB but container too small for it.
Tks
Didn't see TB inside

I think that stump needs a red flashing light on top. Boy those planes only just miss it!

Thanks to TheBigDragon and clear skies from TeamAstro.

yaaay, got it. TFTC, it is a clever hiding.

Left TB took hat pin.

No cache, lots of disgusting rubbish! Might try this one another time.

Yey!! We finally got this one. Great spot and plenty of planes flying overhead which had geokid racing to hide in the car begging to leave (big scaredycat) while I was jumping up and down with excitement. TFTC

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Found it on our holiday in australia

Very hot but no snakes about today. GPS led me to exact spot, hope the juggles in that Dash 8 were not looking as I retrieved the cache. Lots of goodies in this one but had nothing to trade so took nought.

Oh la la ...there is a lot of garbage here, but I was lucky, no snake...and I found the cache very rapidly, everything is OK...TFC
