As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

despite there being no room left on the log sheet, I managed to get my ink onto it. It was a great little find when my GPS finally settled on a position. For a moment my heart was racing, which surprised me too, because that sort of thing doesn't usually do this... but it worked nicely. Thanks for making me remember that I am alive. other than the log book, the cache seems to be in good condition.might need a spot of glue.

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did while visitng Liz & Bruce in October 2014. I have found my favourite area in Australia. The weather is almost always mild and plants grow as if the soil is spiked!! It doesn't hurt my dear friends have moved up here (for the same reasons I like it). The caches were in good shape and enjoyable. Thanks so much for placing them in such a way I was able to explore the region. Cheers!

I was in the Maryborough and Hervey Bay area today for work and grabbed a few caches too. Lots of different hides which made the day interesting. This was a quick find and after signing the log all was returned as found.

A short search even with a few muggles walkng by - nice place to walk. What a fantastic idea for a cache and well suited for the area. We have seen a much bigger cousin in a cache back in Vic but this one is so much more petite! Well done indeed in finding the cache and for the implementation of it.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there FifiMeow.and.son. We found your cache "NatureWorld Memorial" at 3:19:00 PM today.
This was our 1st cache find in a caching run of 1 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9541.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was to add to our current streak of "Most Consecutive Days" cached. Today was our first day in Hervey Bay & only had time to find one cache before attempting to organise some mechanical repairs before businesses close for the day.

Ian gave this cache a favourite point because it made Penny jump.
[/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: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

This day, klettercache and me were driving our rental car from lovely Hervey Bay to Agnes Water, North of Bundaberg. As I knew, that there are only few caches around our final destination of this day, we tried to get some more caches in the South.

We stopped near Hervey Bay several times and unfortunately, due to the many motor starts after finding caches, the battery of the car got very low. We needed to call the road assistance so that we get some help. Unfortunately, I could not tell them the exact raod that I was driving but of course I could provide exact coordinates of the location, where the battery failed.

For reasons that I still do not understand, they did not want to have the coordinates, though they would have been describing my location by a precision of approximately 1m. Te guy insisted in getting the road information and so it was quite a long discussion until we found out where I can be picked up.

After this incident, I did not stop the engine while searching for caches. So, if in any case you have seen a white car with running motor next to a cache around Bundaberg, please do not fingerpoint on the driver. There was a real need to have the motor running while searching the plastic....

At this cache, the battery was still ok. We could locate it very easy due to the helpful hint.

Thanks for hiding this cache and for keeping it in good condition.

Picked up 'Liz and Bruce' and drove to Hervey Bay, for a day of caching and a little shopping.
What a perfect cache for this location, totally enjoyed it. A favourite point from us.
Many thanks for placing this cache, FifiMeow.and.son, for us and others to find.

Searched for almost 10 minutes in the dark with a torch looking at every nook and cranny with no luck. resorted to reading all the logs in detail and decided to expand my search to all likely nearby locations and bingo found easily.
 
27-Mar-14
Probably the fastest cache I've ever done. Parked the car expecting the GPS to be bouncing around with the heavy cloud cover. Instead it took me straight to the target. Cache security guard said "here it is" and that was that. tftc.

My sister, doscrapbooking, and I are heading north looking for caches over the next few days on a road trip. Cool
Today is day 3 of our road trip and we have now arrived in Harvey Bay on our return trip. Big Grin
It is now after lunch and we have a couple of cache we want to get before the day is over. Smile
A quick find here and the little beastie did not scare us at all. Wink
With the Log book signed, cache replaced and we were on our way again.
Thanks for the cache

Spending some time in Hervey Bay to visit my Pop, so of course when I had some spare time I had to go caching. My GZ was out a bit but I guess you get that with all the tree coverage. A check of the nearby trees and ahhhh I found it. Added a name from the Gold Coast and rehid.

We had headed north to attend the "Gympie Catchup For Newbies" even though we're not Newbie's anymore but some big name long term cachers came so it was a great day despite the extreme heat.

We were staying with relatives in Maryborough for a few days so we though that Hervey Bay was a nice run and a good day out which ended up being an afternoon evening.

It was getting close to tea time and the kids were HUNGRY but we HAD to do another cache (or 2).

Despite their hunger the Geo Girls were out of the car in a flash and heading toward GZ until we read out the warning LOL!

They walked a bit slower then and came upon the cache by surprise, and boy did they get a surprise!!

Don't you just love the reactions the kids have sometimes to certain objects and creatures.

Thanks FifiMeow & Son for the cache and camo and the laugh s that I had. I'm giving you a favourite point for this one.

The log sheet is very full, I wrote on the geocaching note.

Sorry I didn't have anything to replace it with.

I was heading out of Hervey Bay towards Maryborough but I could resist stopping off for this cache on my way...and I was glad I did. It is nice to find a cache where the CO has gone to a bit more effort than normal...and this is one of those caches.

Thanks FifiMeow.and.son for this cache...when I have I will give you a Favourite Point for you extra effort.

Went with geodad (he found this one 2 days ago) I have an EXTREME fear of spiders, so was a bit wary of this one... even when I found it. Good hide though. TFTC!

This was a very quick stop on the way out of town. Heading for home and I just couldn't resist stopping for one more cache. I couldn't get a good hold on GZ so just used my geosense. A short hunt here and there later and I had the creepy cache in hand.

While walking to GZ I went too far and came back I got trapped in some fishing lines so I went into reverse and came the opposite way around and I saw him. I did give an instant jump of fright when my eyes looked at him but I wasn't too scared. Tftc
