Rainforest Reptilian Rascality Bunya, Queensland, Australia
By the_eths on 11-Mar-13. Waypoint GC456A7

This place has become very popular, so it can be hard finding a time when there are no people about to actually do the cache, so I've decided to archive it. It was great while it lasted!

No luck here. All that is left at wp2 is a bit of old camo tape.

Not attempting this until WPS and final cache are confirmed. Will put on my watch list.

Shame as it sounded fun! Went straight to WP2 as instructed but no sign. Plenty of signs of flooding though. Think this one’s a gonner.

No find for is

Washed away?

We couldn’t find WP2 and resorted to a PAF for assistance. We decided that it had been washed away in the floods. Thankfully our kind PAF helped us by sharing the Final Coords, so we were able to log this one. TFTC the eths.

With a little help from a friend, Duppers and I quickly located the resting place of the cache. We tried to go down the embankment but decided to see if there was another way around. Bingo. Watch out for the snake. Nice hide.

Came unstuck at WP3, just couldn’t find it noting comments about no steep climbing required . I’ll be back to finish this sometime.

Nice little Multi a quick find at GZ. I signed the log and returned as found. Favourite point for me. TFTC

This afternoon, I thought I would take a break from working from home to visit Bunya Crossing Reserve. I had previously visited this area as part of an Adventure Lab Location, but light was fading, and with the fear of the car park closing with my car locked inside, I didn't get a chance to visit the cluster of geocaches here. It was nice to walk along the river finding a few geocaches and completing the *Rainforest Reptilian Rascality* multi-cache, before my lunch break duration came to an end, and I was needed back at my computer desk.

Needing a multi-cache for today's calendar day, this cache was one of the reasons that I had selected this area to explore. I started out walking to Waypoint 1, and had a very good look around for something. After 5-10 minutes of looking around, I thought I would just proceed to Waypoint 2, and it was only upon checking the cache page and reading the location specific notes, that there was mention of Waypoint 1's ongoing missing nature, and instruction to just proceed to Waypoint 2. If this is the case, can I suggest that Waypoint 1 be deleted, and posted coordinates updated to reflect Waypoint 2, as in the geocache's current state, it is just a little confusing and misleading. However, that appeared to be my only trouble, as I managed to find the applicable container at Waypoint 2 reasonably quickly.

I then proceeded the long way around to Waypoint 3, passing by a stagnant puddle that had a few ducks frolocking around, and found the required field puzzle reasonably quickly there too. I was about to start to follow the instructions, when that container fell, so that apparatus may need some TLC to help secure it back to its former state? With the coordinates for GZ, I made a walk down some steep slopes, and soon had the cache in hand. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks the_eths for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. Like a few others had mentioned, I took a shortcut back to Waypoint 2 with the tool, and thankfully, the creek was rather dry in that area to make the crossing without getting my footwear wet.

Out with geo friends picking up a few local caches in this beautiful district on a lovely winters day.
Was about to head back home after a big day out but decided we'd do a couple more caches down in this well used Bunya Crossing Reserve Park.
Found the first part of this multi quickly and headed off fully prepared to the next. With good teamwork the new information presented itself and off we went again for the final. Thought we would take a quick way there but turned back as the terrain was too thick and steep & instead found a much easier way to GZ. A nice neat hide greeted us, log signed and back we went to return the provided ToT. Thanks for this good multi CO, very enjoyable to do.

Find# 6499

Met up with Snickersallan, karicka and grannysmith1947 to collect some caches in this lovely area.  Some tree climbing, oldies, multis, solved puzzles, a letterbox, trads, 17 all up, with 1 DNF. Had an enjoyable day on this cloudless day, lots of laughter and stories. Celebrated at Cafe 63 Eatons Hill in between.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here the_eths. Enjoyed the adventure even though I tripped on the way to the 3rd waypoint. The dead branch was much stronger than me obviously.

This one has been on my list to do for a long time and with it being just a short walk from home I really couldn’t understand why I haven’t completed it yet. We come down here a little bit but there is always something else to do while we are here. So today was the day and as the girls wanted to play in the creek on the kayak I thought what better way to kill time and let the girls have some freedom and free time.

I found WP 2 very easily and filled up with water and headed to WP3. I couldn’t find wp3 and searched over and over again. I finally acquired the final coordinates and took my now empty container with me. A search around and I spied the cache in a very secure hiding spot.

I signed the log and replaced the cache as found, then realised I had to head back to WP2 to return the container. I found a very nice short cut and returned the WP2 item in its hide and then proceeded to the creek side to see the girls playing in the water and on the kayak.

Thanks for bringing me here to finally do this cache

I couldn’t find WP1 but realised I didn’t need it and headed straight to WP2 where I made a quick find. No problems getting the info at WP3 either and made a quick find of the final. I even remembered to return WP2 afterwards. Thanks for the cache

So at long last I have finally gotten around to finishing this cache. I reckon I first started it about 4 years ago as it’s pretty close to home. Got to a point and got stuck. Owners did some maintenance and it was as right as rain and that’s what prevented me from grabbing the final then.

Despite being only about 5km from home it’s a 30 minutes drive and completely out of my usual driving habits. However today was day it was earmarked for completion and finally removing that dreaded blue DNF dot off my page.

Unfortunately either the lid doesn’t fully close or the previous finder accidentally left it a little ajar or large ants are very very strong. There was a gap and as I retrieved my prize from its hide I awoke the community of swarming big ants. However, I was not to be robbed of writing my name in the log. While the ants were streaming about trying to protect the millions of eggs. I grabbed the log bag and gently shaking off the guests opened and wrote my name. Putting it back I hesitated over closing it all the way and therefore cutting the adults off from the eggs or leaving it open. The situation was resolved when I gingerly gave the lid a smack down and it got to a point and stopped. So figuring it was stuck like and it hadn’t had a visitor in 5 or more month and everything was dry it got returned and the ants happily returned home.

Oh what an amazing cache! The kids were bored, so we headed out this way mid morning. The location is amazing, and the multi is very clever - FP worthy for sure. This one also helps me with the date placed grid, and so satisfied the number nerd within. Winning all round.

After breezing through WP2 (oh, interesting!) we made our way to WP3 where we took a few minutes to locate what was required. Off to the final, we wandered up the hill and I let the girls make the find. My favourite kind of container! An amazing wander through such a beautiful part of the world, right at our doorstep.

FP, and TB visit

Couldn't find WP1 after a second attempt (tried few days earlier) so moved to WP2 and fast success! Moved on and found WP3 after some time, then had to problem solve to get next clue. Lots of fun.
Sadly we couldn't find the last cache. The coordinates were sending us bush, yet the description said wouldn't need to trek. Had kids with us, who started to tire, so we left defeated.
Maybe another time...

After a DNF back in January I kept this one in mind to re-visit one day. Being nearby this morning for another adventure, I recalled where I got to previously and decided to try again.

I had more success here this morning, and was able to get my hands on the information I need to find the final. Progress!

After going back to the car to get a pen, geopup and I made our way to gz and very quickly found a cache sitting safely in its hidey hole. Log signed, and all replaced as found, we made our way back to the car and continued our adventure.

Thanks for a fun and very well put together cache the_eths

I've been home the past week bored out of my mind, so I thought I'd head out towards Eatons Hill to grab myself a few caches. The main target today was to get a few more letters for April as this month's just about over. I managed R & I, so all that's remaining is P which I'll grab another time. It was a very pleasant morning outside, very quiet, but I did come across a few people doing their morning walk.

Didn't think I'd have much luck on this one with the previous DNF, but I thought I'd give it a go and see how far I can get. I had no issue at WP2, then onto WP3. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, so a bit of stumbling around was required until I saw something promising. With the tool I grabbed from WP2, I was able to get the final Coords after a couple attempts.

I really enjoyed this one. It was a very pleasant walk around. FP coming from me.

Find #856 - TFTC

On my last day of holidays I thought I would turn a couple of local multis into smiles.

After reading through some previous logs, I contacted the CO for the details WP2 and was quickly off and running.

I made my way to WP3 and came unstuck. Using the tool provided, I was unable to come up with what I needed.

No luck today, but will keep an eye on this one.

Thanks the_eths for what looks like a great multi.

Escaped the house this afternoon for a little exercise in the heat .... well that didn't last too long before it became a loud,lightning storm complete with hail - fun times. Having ridden the storm out in dubious protection near by ish, it was suddenly not raining, so time for more walking. Wow - it may be cooler but the humidity has skyrocketed.

I've planned on getting to this multi a few times in the past, but for whatever reason every time I have run out of time and not gotten here. Well, today is not that problem as I am here early on and geared up to head bush to give this rascally reptilian what-for. And at wp1 I hit a dead end. An unexciting start. Read the recent logs - ah so that'll do it - and since I do know this mob gave them a call and was soon back on the right trail. Silly sneaky serpent can't slither out of my way fast enough.

Right - with fresh and useful knowledge gleaned I took advantage of the recent drought weather and headed to sort the suspicious suspense - oooh, a massive slightly annoyed spider to contend with first - right that's given me somewhere to go. And so I slipped and slid my way to a final GZ .... aah, there she be, all safe and snug. And Signed. Cheers!

Thanks the_eths for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #7095}*

1MinnieMoo made mention of this cache - and knew I had attempted it unsuccessfully in recent months.

So I messaged Herr Eth and enquired about the elusive waypoint. We got some information so we decided to take a drive.

Thankfully, parking wasn't a premium and we strutted up to the familiar WP1. After a fossick and some photos sent to Mr Eth, it was deemed not there. With the next co-ords in hand, we were off to the next waypoint.

Hmmm curious. But very well. So we.... errr.... how to say it without destroying the fun of the cache.... "we set about and did what we had to to do"... and then made our way to the next waypoint.

For someone reason, 1MinnieMoo did not trust me at all with this waypoint and insisted on doing it herself The next waypoint's co-ords were soon revealed and we trotted on.

So ummm.. I see a common bush "safe" has set up home in this area. Totally normal. After 1MinnieMoo decided to see if she could make it to GZ without using her feet, we soon arrived at the final and found the container safe and sound.

We signed the log and re-hid everything as found. I have to say that's an excellent hiding place for such a cache.

This was a fun little cache to do - and well thought out. Everything was hidden back where it should be. A favourite point for the effort. TFTC the_eths

Finally!
I remember my initial attempt at this one back when I was trying to complete one of Fangsoki’s month challenges quite a while back now, and becoming unstuck at WP1. Fangsoki had also had the same trouble when he had attempted this one.
But today, that was not to be the case. A quick message with the CO advised us of what we were after, and arriving at WP1, we could confirm for the CO that it is indeed missing. Armed with info for the next WP courtesy of the CO, we continued on, and found WP2 very easily. Following the instructions we headed to the next WP, and soon had the coordinates out for the final. A short wander and a bit of an incline and I go sliding onto my backside with my foot stuck underneath a log to much merriment of Fangsoki (ok I will admit it did have me laughing too).
Recovering from the shame of my lack of grace, I had soon made it to GZ and uncovered the cache. As Fangsoki neared, I may have launched a plastic snake his way, but it was no match for his nerves of steel. Log signed and everything dutifully replaced, we were off on our way.
Thanks for the fun multi cache the_eths.

Couldn’t find way point 1 gave up I’ll come back another day.

After having a DNF on WP1 for this cache about two years ago, today was my day for revenge! A bit of walk this morning, with the heat already building, but I soon had the final located and made my way to work. A fun multi! TFTC.

After my third attempt at locating WP1 I had to resort to a PAF to send me on my way. I don’t like multis but this one was clever!!! Tftc

We got stuck at WP1 after searching for 30min, contacted the CO for a hint and went off to find other caches. The CO kindly responded and we made our way back to the start. Digging a bit deeper, we found the container and quickly made our way to the other stops.

Great concept and a very busy area on a public holiday.

Georode

DNF today for me as I couldn't find the first Waypoint.

Perhaps I'm blind. A nice area to visit. TFTH.

What a wonderful place to sit, swim, explore or just chill out. When we saw the first waypoint restored we knew we had to play this multi. We love completing The_eths puzzles as there is so much ingenuity, creativity and interaction along some awesome trail spots. This one we loved and has earned a favourite from us. A sincere thankyou for maintaining it. TFTC

Arrived with a buddy this afternoon... to a very well-dressed group of people setting up a very classy party and playing jazz music! Oh well! WP1 and WP2 were close to the action, but obscured enough! It's been years and years since I've come across something like 'WP3' - love these. Found the final and dropped in a TB Thanks for the fun, eths!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the fast maintenance!

Way Point 1 is back in action! Have fun!

Having had a DNF on this ages ago as WP1 was unable to be found. It seems reading from the logs that no one has found WP1 since 2016 with finders using PAF’s to get them to the next stage. Could the owners check on WP1 and replace if need be.

What an amazing place!!!!! We all were spell bound when we drove down here, the place was packed and pumping, we had to keep our eyes peeled to find a park. As we went off in search of waypoint one, we stared at the swimmers with their drinks in their hands and were jealous of them in that delicious water.

At waypoint one something scurried up the tree but that didn’t stop Mrs SP from climbing into the centre of the tree to have a thorough search. After going over this tree with a fine tooth comb we deemed this waypoint was missing. A quick PAF and yes it was, but thankfully they could send us off to waypoint 2 to continue our searching. We took a lovely rainforest with wide open spaces bush bash to the final.

We scrambled a bit until we found the cache with a lovely bird nesting near it. Mrs SP opened the cache and got a fright, which we giggled at and she cussed at

Friday. Mr SP was out playing golf so Mrs SP accepted an invite from the 4Andos to go and grab some caches. I realised we would need to hunt some down closer to home so I chose to claim some multis as these are ones that SP don’t normally go for.

We just couldn’t believe the beauty of this area. I will be heading back to this area to search for other caches as it is such a gorgeous spot. Lots of kids with kayaks in the river today and dogs jumping into the water. After being unable to find the container for WP1, we had to PAF a previous finder and go from there. We realised GZ was quite near a small finch’s nest area as there was a lovely small finch giving us ‘what for’ for being in HIS area! Container is in great condition and the log book is nice and dry. A lovely area indeed.

This was the 5th of 5 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***the_eths***, for showing us this place.

Out with Wombles today and we had other caches planned for today but after yesterday we were a lil on the sore side lol and we then had plan B in place which had this one on the top of the list. After coming here a few weeks ago and not being able to find wp1 I had got a helpful message back from CO and then our 2nd attempt it literally was pouring with rain. In 30 secs we would have been drenched..... so we decided next time in the area this had to be number 1 priority!!! So today was that day, the sun was shining and birds were singing and snakes were hibernating lol. There was some people around today but none of them were interested in us and we wondered if one of them may have been the CO. We managed to use the implement correctly 1st time round and voila, there the rasically reptile coughed up the clue. When Mrs Wombles made the find she alerted me so I followed then she tried to scare me lol. We even got to walk up the middle of the creek and wondered what it would have looked like the previous time we were here with all the rain. We had fun with this cache and made sure all was well with the rascally rainforest reptile. We even managed to give it some love as he was feeling a little unloved TFTC

After failing to find waypoint one a few weeks back, Rhobo contacted the Co's who helped us to continue.
Today was actually our third visit as last time we got here it started pouring rain.
Today was a lovely day to spend crossing back and forth and having some interesting fun.
The cache guardian gave me a fright at the end.
This was a fun well thought out multi, thanks Eths for such a clever cache.

Poked around with a stick quite a lot in the likely hide for WP1 to no avail. Perhaps the CO could check on this at some stage.

Found a lovely hidey hole for WP1 but couldn't locate a container there or anywhere!

A good tramp in the bush. TFTC

Couls not find the first container. So couldn't get a start on it.

We wanted to get out and do a little bit of walking today so rather than head to the shops we came out this way and did a few caches. This one was a very pleasant little stroll. We found all the WP’s (and the necessary tool) fairly easily and enjoyed the stroll around here. Once we finally had the co-ords for GZ we were off to add our names to the log book. Once done all that was left was to retrace our steps to return the item that had to be returned.
TFTC, it was a nice excuse to visit here.

I loved this series. It was really fun and had some different elements to caching that I haven't done before. A truly beautiful spot hidden close to my home. Thanks for this lovely this lovely series. Found with SharpeM and Que Sera

Tftc loved this one it was so interesting and fun, found with Quesera and Bear0503

I thought this cache would be a nice one to do and i wasn't disappointed. What a nice and clever cache. Waypoint 1 found then off to waypoint 2 and thought this is going to be fun. Lucky i was with bear0503 and sharpem to tackle waypoint 3. Then it was off to waypoint 4. . Few trees down around here and got a fright when i opened cache. This was a lovely place and i absolutely loved this adventure. Will make it a fav spot

Very keen to wrap this one up, so I came running over, hoping the rain would stay away.
I picked an entry point that looked OK from the road, but basically became some steps leading to nowhere. I followed a waterway and then went cross country and then followed a creek again, finally dropping down onto the familiar path next to the Rapids.
The flood damage through here is obvious e.g. Concrete bollards washed loose, etc!
I was worried about WP3 but soon found it as described in the previous log.
With the final coords in hand, I approached from the top, aided by a newly fallen tree!
All good inside the cache so TFTC and I hope the other WPs are OK too.

Chuck took a walk and found a cache. Tftc

With a couple of free hours before school pickup, I knew of a certain scaley scallywag that needed finding .

Arrived to find a lovely riverside park, with open spaces and a jungle feel. The recent heavy rain has washed out some of the carpark, so some council guys were working hard to fix it up.

WP 1 was a quick find, and so was WP2. I completed the required activity before heading to WP 3, where a short search was undertaken before finding the slithery beast. I noticed here that the lower fastener has come away, and the beast was no longer retained by the upper bracket. Unfortunately this means it was entirely free, and coughed up its secret without any effort. I returned it to how it should be, but it will need a CO check.

The only thing left to do was take the short walk to the final before returning everything as found.

---

This cache was found in good condition, and adds to our total of 2489 smilies. It receives an FP from us. Thanks **the_eths** for showing us this spot. This log is trackable. Discover our code TGQNRV, and mention where you saw it.

Wow - a great set of exercises and providing heaps of exercises (especially since we took 4 attempts at waypoint 3) and fruitlessly followed the obvious path for the final cache. Hint for next group - the nearby loos are better than the creek.

Took Snake head, Left Golf ball. TFTC

The Hunting Rabbit invited me to join him on his last hunting day in Australia before returning back to Canada. Some were on his wish list: a couple of muticaches on mine.

This was the first of my two multicaches for the day. What great spot this is - we saw people on the green picnicking - some fishing in the river - a family having fun with their dog chasing balls thrown into the river. Cool!

Fortunately, most of what we had to do was out of muggles' sight. Found the first WP OK, then across to the second. Read the instructions, and thought - we have other "equipment" in the GeoFalcon that can handle this. So we returned and picked up said gear, then headed off to WP3. Yep - what we expected.

While performing the required actions, a Gecko ran out an up THR's arm. Nearly lost all our liquid supplies at that point.

However, information extracted and off into the undergrowth to find our final GZ, which THR did with aplomb! [^]

Enjoyed this multi - a rare Favourite from me - it had quite a lot in it, all within easy walking distances.

Found at 3.25pm on 19th April 2016. TFTC.

I think this has been my favourite multi so far. Beautiful spot, so foresty and quiet and the whip birds were whip-birding, there was a light rain and it was like being a million miles away on a mysterious treasure hunt. Absolutely enjoyed every step of this, although it was all nearby locations it also seemed so far, a surreal sort of experience for me and I enjoyed it all. Thank you for the adventure.

Very well put together,thoroughly enjoyed it!
Def gets a fav pt from me. TFTC

Found with Rothy6 wow cool I like it TFTC

Enjoyed do that multi part of months challenge! Had fun! With Dranyer TFTC

Finally I can log this cache as found, not sure why It's caused me so much trouble before. No trouble finding the waypoints and I even got the info at WP3 in one go. TFTC and a favourite point from me.

First point easy. Second point loved the container. Worked very well. Third point yes two people does help. Final . approached from wrong way. Could not work it out. Went back to point 3 to check co'ord . Had them right. Found a different way of going in. Gps all over place. Did need to climb up an hill found nice and dry. Dropped off tb. With live2trek

Really enjoyed this cache. Completed this with sonqld. After quite easily grabbing the Waypoint caches and realising just in the nick of time 2 hands hint on number 3 is very valuable information we quickly then moved onto the final gz. After some scrambling and flicking off 2 ticks decided to go back and check co ords. Yes we had that bit right so went to the toilet and found a different way being careful of the vegetation as suggested, we then made our way up the garden path. Looking in the obvious places not coming away with the goods and the phone gps not much help due to the cover overhead, sonqld decided to "go up there" and alas there it was.

Last time I was in the vicinity was just after the floods and the park was a mess. This time the park was pristine. Enjoyed the walk through the rainforest and only encountered the reptilian at the end. TFTC the_eths, well worth a fav point!!

I only have a few more caches in this area that remain on my list. This was one of two I had planned for today. I had an enjoyable meander through the trees. Whip birds and kookaburras were all being very vocal. All the waypoints were relatively easy to find and were all in good condition. Everything was replaced the way I found it. I decided to take the lower track to the final rather than the upper. That last bit was a little dicey but I managed to locate and sign final. Thanks for another great hide eths. Oh, and great title!

Out on a caching afternoon with Selva Girls and Nursey Julie, this multi was near another find so we thought we'd join the fun and have a go. We followed the instructions and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Thanks for another great cache the eths!

Out with storigirls and NurseyJulie to find a few caches. After finding a nearby cache, we decided to try this multi. Waypoints 1 and 2 were quickly located. I detoured via the car on the way to waypoint 3, grabbing something necessary and thereby avoiding the need to go back to a previous waypoint. Our phones were not being very cooperative at waypoint 3 - they put us on the wrong side of t he road. When we had no luck there, I decided to check out the other side of the road. There, I quickly spotted what I was looking for. I used what I had brought from the car to extract the coords for the final. A short stroll later and we had to go there! NurseyJulie volunteered. Once there, she quickly located the cache and signed the log

Out with SelvaGirls and Stortigirls. We had found a nearby cache and decided to complete this multi. We took note of WP1, moved to WP2 and made us across to WP3. A nice effort on this one. See these types before. Having gained the final co-ords, it was me that ventured down and did a short bush bash and found the cache sitting in a safe position. A nice little multi. TFTC the eths

Some time kill and was interested in the Sanctuary not far from here. Decided to have a picnic nearby and start our short hike from here.

Whilst this one was relatively straight forward, it was certainly an enjoyable experience.

TFTC.

Well this was great fun and little wander around the small area. Looks like a few people have had a few campfires nearby. But a lovely spot. Tftc

I was looking forward to this one, and hoping it would also improve my find:DNF ratio today.
I like the area a lot and enjoyed all the steps... Until it came time for the snake to cough up. I've done this technique several times now, but after four or five goes today, it seemed clear nothing was going to happen so I was forced to let it go. Not sure what the problem is, but I was mighty disappointed!
Looking forward to a return visit in the not too distant future.

What a fun multi. I managed to come up with what I needed and thought I was finished only to find that there was still one more step. I left a pretty clear cacher trail sliding back down the hill on my backside.

As I started heading back towards the car I went to get my phone out of my pocket only to discover that both it and my charger had come out of my pocket while I was sliding down the hill. Back up the hill a bit to get them and make the trail a little clearer even!

A favourite point from me.

I can't believe that this cache is unloved - it's a cracker! Miss11 was sleeping in and having grandparent time, so I was able to sneak out to get this one. I've been here a few times before tree planting so I had a rough idea of where I needed to be. Everything is good at all waypoints and the final, loved all the things I had to do - which I managed by myself - and the final hide. Great multi, I loved it! Fave point for you!

so with dad working Christmas Day there was nothing else for mum and I to do but do my 25 D/T Challenge.

loved this little multi.

got the necessary clues and headed off for the final.

with it getting dark we hurried a little bit and were glad to quickly have the cache in hand.

TFTC

Found.

This was a good afternoon adventure about 200m from our house on the otherside of the creek. We were stoked when we realjsed this was back in play. Thanks to the Eths for another fun local trip. Picked up the TB.

I was looking at caches to do in the area today and spotted this one that looked interesting so added it to the to-do list. Found a parking spot that proved to be very convenient and may my way to the various way points, finding each of them with no problems. Managed to get the slithery creature to regurgitate the necessary information and was off to the final after returning the tools. Was rather dismayed by the number of empty bottles that had been discarded from the road along the walk to GZ. Made my way there and found the cache no worries. A clever little multi. Tftc. Dropped a TB

I cannot believe that this Rainforest Reptilian Rascality has been in place for over 12 months and I have not found it. I remember stopping briefly one morning when riding past and had not success at WP1 and I must have ridden past here countless times since then.

With a day off and out MTBing very near I ventured down to check on my own cache nearby and decided I need to round up the Rascal Reptile. WP1 presented itself quickly but like a previous finder I was some what challenged in reach. A few twigs soon worked well to extract the WP container. WP 2 was a breeze then the required information and route was plotted to WP 3.

Temping as it was to take the direct route to the final location the fact I was on the bike and the need to return things to the previous WP meant I found a more obvious and easier approach path.

Thanks the eths - another quality hide.

I decided to hit the dark side today on the geocycle. It was early on Easter Sunday morning, so the park was still quite quiet.

A few families had got in early and were setting up for the day. Some people in kayaks and several hounds playing in the water. I was very good and did not steal any of the easter eggs that I found as I made my way around this multi.

I was very glad of the hint at WP1. I am not sure I would have found it without that. I soon located the container, but it took a long time to get to it. It was in a long way and my hands were way to big to fit in there.

Eventually I had some new numbers. Next WP nearby and nice and easy. Off to find what I need for the next one. I got a few strange looks as I completed this task with my bike I am usually quite well prepared, so the WP was achievable on my own. More numbers and off to GZ for a nice easy find.

Back to the WP to return the equipment and I was on my way again. Find #4300

I loved this cache. I liked they way you provided some helpful equipment along the way, but still maybe not enough depending on how you tend to cache

The cache is back up and running as it should be I've updated the hints a little to make the waypoints a little easier to find. I also moved the published coordinates of the cache to be that of waypoint 1 (instead of the carkpark), as this was a little confusing.

Have fun!

Checked on this one this morning, and it needs a little TLC. Will be back up soon.

Quite a journey. GPS not much help for precise locations, and the area is full of nice hidey spots. Found all waypoints, the cache, signed the logbook and headed home to tend to the scratches. Mental note to never again undertake a "rainforest" cache wearing shorts, even on a nice hot day like today. Was also slightly hindered by geodog that decided today was not a day for a walk, demanding to be carried, until pointed homewards when she decided to run the whole way!
Nice to have this one done, being close to home, and was a nice challenge for the last of 31 days of Geocaching! TFTC Matt_eth!

Found this cache this morning whilst out for a walk on this lovely day. I needed a cache for my 31 days of Geocaching souvenir and I had been saving this one up for a day where I wasn't going to be in the area for another one. I don't start work until late this afternoon so I was able to head off early this morning and take the same path down towards the cache as I have another two times this week. Now why not get them all at once you might ask? A little thing called souvenirs They seem to control my life, or at least definitely my month.

I got to Waypoint 1 and the bounce was really bad, which was to expected with the tree cover around here. After searching for the cache I finally spotted something a few metres away which i now realise was waypoint 2. I have no idea where waypoint 1 is, I couldn't find it at all. Just waypoint 2. I followed the instructions and found myself standing at waypoint 3. That was the fun bit . I headed off to GZ and eventually I was standing within a few metres of the cache. I put my gpsr away and started searching. This one didn't take me very long and I soon had the cache in hand. I see what you did there with the swaps you evil man!

Thanks for the cache Matt.Eth it was a really nice walk around an area that I know so well. I used to live on Drapers Road and would come down here every second day or so on school holidays.

Mini munchkin and I had a tonne of fun with multi We had some trouble finding WP1, in fact we didn't find it at all. We were however lucky enough to just stumble upon WP2 in our search. Hmm, OK, so we have to do that. We played the game and soon had cache in hand. Not wanting to give too much away, I will keep my log short and sweet.

TFTC matt eth a favourite point from me

We enjoyed our wander to this cache along the river from Sisyphus. We had never been here before but clearly it is a popular spot for people to bring their dogs for a swim. It was disappointing to see the rubbish and remnants of a fire near WP1 but not at all disappointing to find the well hidden clue container. Across to WP2 and it was found quickly. It gave us a moments puzzlement until we read the instructions. Off to WP3 where the fun really happened. Having two people here was a definite advantage. Finally headed up the road to the cache only to find that was not the best decision. Retracing our steps we found a nicely guarded cache which we sent The Marble in to retrieve in case of arachnids. Enjoyed this one. TFTC

Out with the family and our geodog grabbing some caches for an August souvenir. This was our first for the day and we all loved this one - coordinates all matched up to the waypoints - WP1 found fairly easily, WP2 our minds boggled at what we would have to do with this one at WP3, WP3 was harder to find as the geodog ran off after some young men on dirt bikes and disappeared for awhile and we were looking in the wrong area. Read the hint again - oh there it is, it was definitely helpful having other pairs of hands to locate WP3 with its sneaky components, then the hunt was on for the final. Found this one after some bushbashing and through a lot of spider webs - wow we took the direct but hardest route. (found an easier way on the way back to drop off components to WP2). It was most appropriate that our border collie geodog was with us to collect Bella the border collie geocoin, and TB!! Dropped off a GC and Age of Dragons TB. A fantastic and clever multi - favorite point from us! TFTC matt_eth !!

I quite enjoyed the more unusual aspects of this cache . We walked along from Sisyphus rather than driving all the way around, and decided it looked like an awesome spot to bring the nieces and nephews in summer. After some deliberation about which side the first waypoint was on, we headed off, finding evidence of recent campers along the way. WP 1 took longer than we expected, being very well covered, but DisSister found it in the end and off we headed to WP 2. Initially it seemed it might be in a no-access area, but was soon found safely outside that area. It wasn't quite what we were expecting, but we soon figured out the general mechanics of it and off we went. We opted to take the easiest approach to WP 3, although it was a little longer, but we didn't regret it. It took a little time to find the necessary but once we had, we knew exactly what to do. Teamwork certainly helped, as did the absence of the huntsman mentioned in earlier logs. With the final safely in hand, we decided to delay the next step we'd been requested to do, but we really should have done it! As it was, we ended up taking the easy-looking approach, which ended up with us facing a terribly steep slope, treacherous footing and a lantana barrier! Uh oh. Returning to the previous waypoint, we bushbashed our way along the creek to GZ, being careful not to squash the new plants near the final hide. Of course, once we found it, we saw the far easier way that we should have approached it! That'll teach us... A very interesting and creative multi. TFTC, matt_eth! A favourite point for the creativity. =^.^=
TFTC, matt_eth. =^.^=

A great walk along the river's edge to the first WP. The second and consecutives were found quickly with the slippery fellow playing it's trick on La Kedi. We mistakenly took the wrong path toward the final GZ but back tracked and found a most pleasant and adventurous way through. Thanks matt_eth for a great cache.

This was such a fun multi on a beautiful caching day out ! Parked at the coords and set off on our adventure and after a short search of WP1 we had the coords for WP2.

At WP2 we found the implement and the instructions and this is where the fun started . We completed the first half of the instructions and set off to find the Rascally Reptile and to try and extract the final coords from this sly, slithery creature.

Unbeknown to us the Rascally Reptile had just had some lunch of the 8-legged variety and just as we were about to grab the final coords, he opened up and spat out the spider . Arken let out an almighty shriek, the implement went flying one way and I got bowled over as Arken went screaming off in the other direction [B)], leaving me sitting in the mud .

Needless to say we needed to start again and this time I used the implement and managed to grab the final coords just as the spider ran off up the tree. Arken watched all this from a long distance away.

With the final coords set in the GPSr it was a short stroll to the prize . Thanks Matt for a fun multi and a definite favourite from me, Arken is still thinking about it .

A great cache, although at WP3 we found a big huntsman before the clue....so take care.

This was a fantastic expedition found with Mark and Geokids from Mark & April Team. This one restored my faith in multi's Thanks Matt. Absolutely fantastic Cache.

Dropped off Libelle Geo Coin to continue her trip.

After a leisurely walk along the river to grab another cache, I checked for Nearby Caches and realised this one was right here! Oh well, I've got an hour or so spare [^] Got a bit confused trying to work out where the start really was Many times I have gone to the marker and had to find something there, but this time that wasn't the case. Soon worked it out, though. Worked my way through all the WP's with no difficulty. I liked the tool Took the difficult way to GZ, but soon had the prize in hand [^] TFTC, yet again, matt_eth. It's a neat multi, so a favourite point from me.

Found all the waypoints without too much trouble although the gps was jumping about and couldn't decide which side of the creek I should be on or whether I should be at the top or bottom of escarpment but I opted for the easier of the two each time and was rewarded. Loved the concept and it was nice to find something a bit different although I did get a wet foot and leg. Thanks

We gave up at 16:21. Our worst day ever. Of the 4 caches attempted we started with 2 DNFs. We decided not to attempt the 3rd as we could see that in the current conditions it would have over stretched our fitness capabilities. Now this one.

We found WP1, WP2 and WP3. We followed the instructions at WP3 twice. The second time we overcame the trap. Either we misunderstood the puzzle or there is something missing. We will email the CO.

Checked on cache this morning, and all is good and working as it's meant to. Please make sure you use the implement provided at WP2, otherwise, you may not too much luck at WP3!

Checked listing and all coordinates are correct. The published coordinates are for parking, and WP1 is where you need to search first.

Out with barbbowman to grab a few caches and decided to grab this one.
The coordinates for WP1 had us in the carpark and we searched several GZ looking for it.
Lots of pet lovers with their dogs swimming in the river.
After not able to find it, as Barbbowman had been here before we went straight to WP 3, and onto the final.
I have tackled this type of cache before but always love the concept and the name lived up to the ending.
While having a look for the 2nd Waypoint, happened on some riske' photography.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks matt eth All good with this cache but I wonder where those 2 Waypoints went, perhaps they were full of rascality.

missed it by ???

after talking to the CO we now know what he did and how we missed it [B)]

still enjoyed the walk, the cache, the working together and the cutey at the final

will be back to see the other bits and the other little cutey soon

left Aussie Track-a-bear

took eyeball
left green ribbon

Well it seems I missed a couple of parts to this one but I was still able to extract enough information to find the cache

Will come back soon to see what fun I did miss.

#915: joint *FTF* with Membsec at 7:38 on my birthday!. Details to follow.

*FTF* 7.38am Joint with EngPhil.
Arrived home from Cairns at 8pm last night. Woken this morning by the IPhone notification of a new cache . Multi less then 7Kms away - well a bit further by road [^].
Off we go, can't park at designated parking because work already going on to fix the area . Park in alternative spot alongside muggles who seem to have slept the night in their car . Back to designated starting point and who should arrive on foot but EngPhil, having left his Birthday presents behind and crossed the river on foot (Happy Birthday Phil) .
Now off to WP1 - oh this way, no that way (back towards car) then no over there - but there is a large creek so back to start and up the other side . Of course our GPSs are a bit iffy this morning so the search around WP1 takes too long but eventually new coords in hand . Again a debate as to which is the best way but soon a likely hiding spot unearths (or is that "uneths") the tool. Off to next way point and this one really takes some searching. Eventually found (optometrists would have a field day with all of us). Tool proves successful first time then onwards to GZ . Oops wrong way again, back to last WP then new track to area of GZ . Again the GPSs think this is a game and no obvious point eventuates. Finally a little bit different line and the cache is to hand. Yes lovely blank notebook and joint FTFs . EngPhil takes the prize (as you would on your birthday), the tool is returned and the task completed, covering more than twice the distance necessary .
Thanks for another clever cache Matt and Jenn and a walk through the rainforest.

A favourite from us!
