As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous MAINTENANCE REQUEST, I have no option but to archive this listing.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[navy]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; "if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can." and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Please respond to this situation within 28 days to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Geez I hate dnfs. Not here.

We really looked hard for this one. Just couldn't find it.

The cache "" .
Just following up on my earlier "Needs Maintenance" log. It is now well over 28 days old and despite a "Find" from the CO, nobody else can find it.

Is it really there?
Regards

Ian & Penny

Est elle a la bonne position GPS?
Si on elle est bien cachée

Couldn't found this box.

Looked high and low with no luck.

Hint wasn't much help. Hz seems to be in a high traffic area - pity as there are so many hides along the beach.

We had a damn good look for this, just hoping it hasn't been vandalised or stolen??

Had a very good look for this, and judging from previous finders' photos, the cache has gone. Recent number of DNFs (we did the search on 28th Sept, but I'm writing this on 10th Oct) seem to confirm that the 'lost birdie' is, in fact, a pilfered pigeon, a stolen seagull, a hijacked hawk or a robbed raven. Some swine has swiped the swan.The falcon's been flogged. The albatross has been abducted. The kestrel's been kidnapped...

no luck for us here today. we searched around for a while until a muggled arrived in the area time to go maybe next time.

Showing my Filipina partner the beautiful parts of this ancient section of our country. GeoCaching lends a helping hand to visit unique corners. Searched on two occasions, but could not find the little birdie. If it is still there then Difficulty should be higher than 2.5. Due to the big leaf cover on the ground, I searched mainly chest height and higher - no luck and the force was not with me.

We stopped by this cache while on our way to Cape Tribulation from our current digs in Mossman. We enjoyed a short walk along the beach from the suggested car park.

On arrival at GZ we were astounded at all the big, crunchy leaves covering the ground. I think the rainforest has got it's seasons backwards at the moment....after all it isn't autumn...is it??

There was a small camper van parked nearby in amongst the rainforest but fortunately out of site of GZ

We snap, crackled and popped our way around the area looking for the little lost bird but had no luck at all......I think he has been entombed in a mountain of leaves.

We eventually left and continued on our way to Cape Trib. I read all the previous logs and checked out all the gallery pics on the way so we had a very good idea of what we should be looking for.....we would love to have found it because it definitely looks very cute.

So very frustrating to see so many inexperienced cachers who have found the little cutie but we were obviously not in their league

On our return to Mossman we stopped by again and had another search (no campers this time) knowing exactly what we should be looking for but still our 'foliage follies' left us empty handed

Too good for us I'm afraid TropoBirdo but we enjoyed the area and the search...thanks anyway[^]

spent ages looking for this cache, searched the tree at GZ with no luck, read the hint and expanded my search accordingly, went out in a 15 meter radius but still no luck finding "the little lost bird"

contacted the CO hoping for another hint while in the area but he was not in a generous mood.

will keep a watch and maybe come back another day...

Hi there TropoBirdo,

Your cache "Rocky Point" was last found on 21/04/2015, 112 days ago, and has had 4 DNF's since that time..
Is there any chance you could do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and replace it if it isn't.
If that's not possible then please archive the cache so that the spot can be freed up for someone else to use.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Cache is in place and does not need maintenance

Had the place to ourselves, so able to have a good look, but came up empty handed.

In Port Douglass for 5 days to the 17th July with my wife and her muggle brother and family.

First and only DNF for the day, heading north to Cape Tribulation, in company of the muggle brother in-law,

This one really needs the CO to check it out. Myself and Sweet had a good look around the GZ to no avail
TFTH TropoBirdo

No luck for me today, I had a good look but chose to move on after a while.
Hopefully it is still there, and very well hidden.

Log was empty, the guardian didn't do very well.

Yah found it in the dark.nice camo. Tftc

Cute! TFTC!

Oh this one is so nice! Thanks for placing!

Cairns Dive Trip March 2015. After a shortened first dive drip I decided a day trip out caching would be the way to go. I have been up here a few times, and not looked down this ridge. It seems a great place by the sea, a real pity about all the dangerous sea life around here. Thanks.

It's a very nice place. Tftc

On our todays tour we visited this site.
We took the opportunity to search for the cache nearby. We found it and signed the logbook.
Thanks for this nice cache !

On holiday in Australia.

Nice hide TFTC

Hi all,
Found by Danielc on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Val elected to remain at the car. Danielc went off in search. Spotting something strangely placed made it an easy find. Signed log.
TFTC.
Cheers,

Eine schöne Aussicht wird einem hier geboten. Mein GPS sprang von einem zum nächsten Punkt. Anhand der Logbilder konnte ich das Döschen finden.

Awesome cache have never seen a container like this before!!

Nice little area we didn't know existed.. have driven past quite a few times whilst holidaying with daughter and family in Mossman..great spot for a cache ....thanks for bringing us here.. TFTC

Today we explored Mossan and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Managed to make this one harder than need be by parking further up the road. Enjoyable walk back along the beach though. Neat little hide. Thanks TB for placing this cache to hunt.

Log is totally full

I was only able to initial the log sheet. It is very full and needs replacing. I didn't have a spare with me to do that today.

Very pretty beach area and a great place for a cache. Thanks TropoBirdo for yet another great cache and hiding spot.

found it ... eventually
looked, scratched around a bit more, then read the notes and logs
bingo
thanks for the excuse to stop
walked the beach from the point
took some photos * will add later

Quick find on the way to Daintree. TFTC SL

Found this cache on a beautiful beach in a hide which would as well serve a larger cache.

Nice beach for a little bird! Thank you for showing!

Poor little fellow is indeed in a funny place, but all was revealed. Tftc

Found it on the way to mossman great Lil cache

Went back a second time to find this cache today, on the way back from Cape tribulation. Great location thanks for the cache TropoBirdo. Jimmytherat.

On our route to Jabiru we spotted the bird.
Nice cache!

A lost birdie indeed. He seems quite happy and snug in his little secret spot.
TFTC

Good

Luckily I had the Geomissus with me or this would have remained in found.
Nice container

Thanks

12:10 , Down Under 2014 .
Abenteuerurlaub mit dem Britz-Camper durch Australien .
In der vierten und letzten Woche haben wir uns von Cairns Richtung Cape Tribulation und zurück über Port Douglas umgeschaut .
Rechts im Brizz-Camper sitzen , links schalten , rechts den Blinker betätigen und links auf der Straße fahren .
Dann auch rechts und links nach Cachen suchen .
Eigentlich haben wir ja Urlaub .
Nun ja , wenn wir schon hier sind , dann mußte auch dieser Cache gefunden werden .
Heute ging es vom Cape Tribulation zurück Richtung Port Douglas .
Nach einer kurvenreichen Fahrt haben wir hier noch für einen Fotostop angehalten .
Beinahe hätten wir diesen schönen kleinen Parkplatz mit seinem niedlichen Cache übersehen .
Vielen Dank für diese Aktion .
Gruß sulu .

Lol we found the little bird. Good spot. Silly people leaving bottles around

Thanks for cache, such a shame about the litter in the surrounding area though

TFTC

We drove up to Daintree today and hiked several boardwalks. Then we wanted a couple of finds to finish the day.

TFTC!

This was one of several caches that I found on the drive back to Cairns. This was another lovely spot to stop and I soon found the cache.

Took a while - so many places to look. T4TC
Greg and Bev

Walked along from the rock wall - got close to gz but bouncing around a bit. Lots of evidence of coconut husking. Surely it's not right next to the walkway? Ventured further afield, spiked by lots of bushes, bitten by a few more mozzies - then back where I started, looked a bit further in, and....ahaaaa! Spotted the pretty bird.

So I roll up and these 2 muggles are carrying wheat bags of coconuts up from down the beach. Man they looked heavy. They were kind enuf to let me take a pic. Think they have a restaurant. Yummy, but not the milk sort.

Thanks to TropoBirdo and clear skies from TeamAstro. Tweety.

2 birdies found this cute little guy

Quick find made in a lovely little spot. Cache is fine after TC Ida.

Love the container, this gets a favourite point from us.

TFTC

not the best weather for the find, but was in a nice hidden away area (found with stooy)

A quick find in the pouring rain. Thanks for the fun.

A very cheeky little birdy this one turned out to be. The cloud cover and rain made the compass jump around a bit so just did the usual and searched within the 6 metre range i get when the weather is like this and i find i made. Would be interseted to know if any crocs do inhabit the small pool off the beach.

Found this one this morning with the geodad. Once again he beat me to make the find. I guess i will have to jump and run when we go caching next. TFTC.

Found lost birdie

A nice place for a quick stop and stretch of the legs. Lovely beach.
Thanks,

Nice one. Me and my geodad saw a Small crockodile on the beach. TFTC.

Find with my alcolyte during the vacation in Australia.

Took a little while to find. Cute cache! Thanks

Cycling in the area with Chouette, we did few cache on our way, This one is a nice one...A favorite...TFC

Loving your containers, a nice spot to collect pumus!

Initially I thought the habitat had been destroyed, but, upon further investigation, found everything intact.

Interesting container. Nice location. #135

Found on the NQ leg of our Round Aust trip
On a day trip from Pt Douglas to Cape Tribulation and the Daintree National Park

Good fun !!

It was blowing a gale when we stopped to find this cache.
While the GPS indicated the area where this container was hidden, we also used the co-ordinates provided by the first person to find this cache to assist in narrowing down exactly where the hide was.
It was Clay12 who retrieved the brightly camouflaged container. A bit of work was needed to retrieve the log, so possibly bring a pair of tweezers with you to assist.
Cache and log as in good repair and just waiting for the next finder.
Thanks TropoBirdo for this well placed hide in a lovely part of Far North Queensland.

Found it while introducing some friends into Geocaching. Forgot to take a picture . Awesome spot and a greta hide. TFTC TropoBirdo.

Nice place. Tftc

First of all, all props to Pprime (P`) for making me aware of this cache. He had noticed it some days ago and knew I would be in the area. His thoughtfulness earned me an FTF

I am not much of an FTF hound these days - but I put it on watch - fully expecting it to be gone by the time I get to it.

Unfortunately, I pulled up 180m further away than I needed to. Some muggles were pulling in just as I arrived. Drat But Mr GPSr told me it was not near them - and there was a nice amount of tree cover between me and them.

I hunted around for about 15 minutes before I noticed something. Our little friend had a little fail - but is all good now. The cache itself is in good condition.. and I was very happy to open it and find I got *FTF* at 6.04pm. This cache is my furthest FTF from home - at over 1400km

I have added the co-ordinates that worked for me today.

A very beautiful area. I took some happy snaps in the dying light and then made off. TFTC TropoBirdo
