Geocache of the day! Nice little spot where kids were having fun Thanks for the cache!Greetings from Belgium
A nice quick one- thanks. *The generic bit for this trip*We are on now on our way south after heading north for warmer weather. From Cooktown back to Notth East Victoria, weaving inland and to the coast, caching as we go. No real plans, just taking each day as it comes and enjoying the adventure in our converted ambulance. Thanks to all COs for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.
Out and about today exploring the area with Grannan55 and Geodogs. Easily found today. Thank you for placing this cache here for us to find. All good here. Now, onto the next one for the day. TNLN TFTC
Not to difficult to find thanks to the hints. Out and about with Byker152 and geodogs on a glorious day in Townsville. TFTC
Up in Townsville exploring the area and helping the daughter move house. Staying at the Scout Park at Bluewater for a function too. Thanks for placing the geocache. Hello from Banksia Scouts Mackay. SL TNLN

After our reststop from Airlie to mission beach - quick and easy find!
The caretaker of the property was working at GZ. Got in touch with him, explained the game. I was actually surprised he didn’t knew it was there.
The container is completely broken and needs replacement

The outer container is broken, almost disintegrating. Had a fair amount of water inside. Probably needs replacing.
Found, container damaged along with some of the stuff, filled with water. We tipped it out but some things are damaged.
Quick find. Damaged container replaced with a 200ml Sistema. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching. TFTC HikerNQ

With frmen1, heading north. Had Scout stuff at the ready for swag (ex-leader) but brimming with water. We searched the car for replacement container, but have used them all. TFTC anyway.
Quick find with accurate coords and hint. The cache is full of water and requires attention. We didn't have anything suitable to replace it with. Thanks for placing this cache.
On the Road again, it’s a great to be out exploring the bush once more, after being in civilisation for almost two weeks for the CacheQld Mega
We found this one while on the way to Rollingstone, as TC, such beautiful rivers and creek crossings, even after the torrential downpours we have had in the last few days
Thanks for sharing this wonderful location

Taking a day trip from Townsville to Ingham and collecting a few caches along the way. This will be the furtherest north I have been in Queensland!
Thanks to the CO's who have placed caches in the areas we travel today - it is appreciated.

I made it to Townsville. 18 days on my bicycle cycling over 1850km from Toowoomba.
After catching up with friends and finding a few caches I am now heading North to Cairns.
I nice short hike to the cache and a quick find.
Thanks for the adventures and cache.

Out and about today travelling up to Ingham for the day from Townsville, where we have been for the Mega Event over Easter. Thank you for bringing us to this location. TFTC
With van dropped off at Bluewater Park nearby, we popped around to find this cache. Its lid has disintegrated, allowing water ingress to turn the logbook into a sodden mess. Still managed to leave our mark before recovering as found. These pillars look like they’ve been here many a year. TFTC HikerNQ
TFTC. Box was full of water and the log was wet. Emptied out the water and took a photo of cache as I couldn't sign the log.
Loved it! Great hiding spot. Unfortunate full of water so couldn’t write our names - still a great adventure. Thank you!
Cache needs maintenance is wet and mouldy contents. Very cute hide otherwise. Signed log TFTC
We are travelling north to visit our grandchildren in Cairns and have stopped in the Bluewater Park for the night. What a fabulous spot this is. It is the first time we have been required to book however and it was a nightmare to try and navigate on line.
No worries we managed and this afternoon I went walking to grab a cache. What luck that this is a regular size as that is what I needed for my calendar. There aren't many of them around though. Unfortunately the log is quite wet so I had to sign very carefully. TFTC HikerNQ
Oooops, I am sure that I read somewhere that it was a regular and the container that I opened was certainly a regular. How sad. Another year before my calendar will be full.

Took a bit of scouting around...wrong entrance at first. Has been wet inside and full of ants, but a nice find!
I have some amazing memories from my childhood at this place. They came flooding back once I started driving down the dirt road.
Thank you for the cache! - Ryan and Regan.

Taking a geo tour around QLD, in Townsville for a couple of days, this is no 28 took tb tyfc.
I love finding stonework like this while I am out and about. The cache is in good condition and i made a swap of toys and left a pathtag. Thanks for the hide
Easy find, on our way south from The Cape.
Mrs Bundy (Rikki) is a leader with over 35 years service to the organisation. She has been to quite a few Jamborees, including WSJ2015 in Japan as a Unit Leader. She is heading to AJ2022. She is fairly certain she has had jamboree contacts with members of Bluewater Scout Group.
Cheers

Found with LJB54.
Apologies for the late log. Rectifying our drafts we had no realised were not posted.
Returning from a drive after searching for a cache at Toomulla, took a detour off the highway to search for this cache.
Arrived at what we thought was GZ only to realise the cache was in a much more exciting spot than first thought.
Geokid got a bit green with envy after searching at the wrong one of the pair, but soon at the cache in hand. A quick sign of the log and back in the car for the drive home. Thanks for placing HikerNQ and bringing us here SL TNLN TFTH

TFTC Found easily!! Took nothing; Filled Cache with SWAG, so it is full as a goog now ... Retrieved Trackable; Signed Log & RAF with some extra water proof cover & camo.
Was out this way doing a bit of sightseeing and thought I would call in and get the smiley. Left trackable. SL TFTC
