Diesen Cache habe ich als Teil des Teams LaMaLaMa (jetzt: Mr_Lama) gefunden.
Da sich das Team leider getrennt hat, logge ich nun unter meinem neuen Account Lærry nach.

Ich hoffe auf Euer Verständnis und danke Euch für’s Verstecken der vielen tollen Dosen!
Selbstverständlich werde ich jedem Cache einen Favo hinterlassen, bei dem es der ursprüngliche Account auch getan hatte. Falls ich einen Cache vergesse, dürft ihr mich gerne anschreiben.

Ich wünsche Euch viele tolle Caches und sage zum Abschluss: Bis bald im Wald!
Liebe Grüße von Lærry

I found this cache as a member of the team LaMaLaMa (now: Mr_Lama).
Since the team unfortunately split up, I am re-logging with my new account Lærry.

I hope you will understand.
Furthermore I thank you for hiding the many great caches!
Of course I will leave a favo to each cache where the original account did it. If I forget a cache, you are welcome to write to me.

Best wishes, Lærry

Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Tftc ... was def not here before

Thanks. Green cache this time.

Found easily, but didn't have any tweezers with me so it was hard to extract. Had some help from my (curious and confused) Aunty, but we managed to signthe log and replace it. Interesting sculpture, and a beautiful park! TFTC

After dnf logs was not sure of our chances checked everwhere several times even came back and had another look on ground
No luck
Have replaced cache with a very small clear green tube with log so others may find until the owner can check
If original cache still in place co will delete this log
Another great spot to visut and cache

Can this be checked please. Visited 3 times, found likely places and nothing. Have pics if you what to check places I assumed.

Went to location x2.. might need checking

Cannot find the old or the new one !!

Have been searching for this cache for a long while , had decided it was missing. Today had a quick look and found it but it differs from original description. Thank you to whoever placed it . Forgot to take photo.

Have replaced it for the meantime until owner fixes it. It is up above hiding away. Looking for a blue tin.

Found new cache.

Was here 2 years ago, no longer here

Had the kids but we couldnt find it. There was a snake in the gardens behind as we were search for others.

Disappointed did not find this cache after walking with the kids around the gardens

DNF for me, I beleive it missing

Missedya - Looked and looked but could not locate it. Too clever for us.

Found this one after the Canada Day event at the Botanic Gardens.

Found it!

Bloody hard to find but we we got it. Pwehttam & JTAG

Found it...

I was through here a week ago and could not find this cache. Came back today to show the wall to my family and spotted it straight away! TFTC.

Got the mongrel of a thing. Took us a while. Had a late lunch at the local cafe. Log is full
G1

This is a fun sculpture
It echos in rusty steel what is going on in the gardens [^]
OK !!
So the frogs are me favourite bit

Finding the cache was just the *"cuisses de grenouilles"* on the cake
Hmmm ? Needs more *"escargots"* me thinks [:o)]

TFTC

In Mackay for two weeks housesit. Took longer than it should, but we got it in the end. Signed last spot on the log.

In Mackay for the AFL on this weekend and trying to pick up some caches to boost the numbers.
Nice artwork and suprisingly quick grab as it was in the first place I looked.

Found the little blighter with some help from the pics in other posts, just had to persevere with looking it took a little while but I got him.

Took us longer than it spouse to. TFTC

Tftc! After a day of failures with the frolics we found this one! Too bad the cafe was shut. Our favourite part was the platypus.... but then we spotted this guy! Life imitating art!

We found it yay.

Very good clue now that we've found it. Well done.

Found on a refreshment break on our way to Airlie Beach.

Tricky!!! Tftc

Good hide. Worked out the clue. TFTC

The clue is a good one.

Found but need something to get it out of its hiding hole

Found by muggle bother in law before heading into the gardens.
Thanks for the hide,
Regards The Coffees

Gotcha tftc

Another on my map TFTC and enjoying the location

When I first got to this one I could not find it. Had a long look , but no luck.
Decided to go do the other 3 caches near by and then returned.
Well after a bit of head scratching, I found it quite by chance.
A great hide, and deserves a fav from me.
Still have not worked out the relevance of the clue.....
TFTC
Added a snap shot.

An interesting sculpture which we thought was quite ugly in parts. Loved the animals though and particularly the frogs which is what our photo is of.
A quick find, thanks.

Like this sculpture.
See it every day as i drive to work.
Nice hide

With Doddski

Good one for the little ones.

Happy Squirting

Awesome place for a cache and well hidden ( and almost equally hard to get out - for us... ). Such love, thought and time goes into pieces of art like this and the artist ( and council ) should be commended for the piece and surrounding gardens. Thank you for helping make the visit memorable for me and my boys.

Found our first of many. TFTC

Sometimes you can be lucky. Found the prize in the second spot I put my hand, could have taken a lot longer as we didn't realise how cryptic the clue was until after the find. Forgot to take the photo, sorry, but we blame our limited attention span. Thank you for making us look closer at this piece SeekerVolls.

With Solving4X. Attached a photo of my favorite part of the sculpture.

Day 3 Mackay . Happy Mothers Day
Today we cached around the city area, being Sunday we thought it would be quieter,
What a great piece of art work, recognised many of the different articles used in the making of it.
Favourite point given
Thanks for placing this cache SeekerVolls

Sneaky one!! Found with RayRay. TFTC SL

Cheeky little hide! Found during a quick rest stop on the way to Rocky. Nice artwork!

What a cute little scene.. TFTC SL

Got it

Found it

Is good )

Beautiful...took a photo of this masterpiece. Such talent. TFTC

This cool. My boy says it's just like the robots movie

Found it.well my niece did actually.

TFTC
Was a quick find

Found in the last place we looked . Actually we found it almost immediately. Then we realised we should have brought tweezers.... maybe I can jiggle it with my pen, huh, the tip must be metal. Much easier than I thought. Good use of a nano in a really well done sculpture. A favourite point from us. TFTC!

OMG Ifound it. You have no idea how excited that makes me. Seriously i looked in the same spot so many times. Happy dance. Thanks for the distraction after such a crap day. And now i have to walk all the way back to the car for an extraction tool and pen. .

Went to check this one earlier and it was still there, but today it was not. Rehidden now. It might be a bit easier to find as its a bit bigger and not as well camouflaged as the original.

Looked in every hole and bolt and opening I could find but to no avail. the cache is still there isn't it?

23/1/16 745pm Searched and searched and could not locate the nano.

Searched for a good while but no luck

Searched for this one as it was handy to the motel but we were stymied by the multiplicity of art forms!

interesting hide right in front of you

TFTC

Before I visited the Botanic Gardens I went to this cache.
Very nice this art! I liked it.

Thanks for showing this place.
TFTC!

Greetings from Germany,
LaMaLaMa

Wow...what a great sculpture. Really captures the essence of Mackay. My fave part - hard to choose. Chech the photo. Signed and returned. Tftc

After work on a midnight caching mission. A quick search and had it in hand. Thanks for the hide.

TFTC - tricky to get out

TFTC- nice find

Nice location. TFTC

found with geniejoan

In Mackay for a 21st birthday, thought we'd grab some caches.

On arriving at GZ and realising how much metal there was to stick a nano on, we were having an "oh no" moment. Luckily, though, it wasn't long at all until we had an "aha" moment and the little critter was in hand. Fabulous use of old bits and pieces and a favourite point from us for the great artwork. TFTC

Been to these gardens before but didn't see these. TFTC

Hi Found it TFTC

Nice visit in the garden and, there very strange wall, and a little box nano,
very typical animal!
Do the frogs not like nano?;-)

Didnt sign log as we didnt have tweezers to pull it out of cannister

Thanks for replacing the cache. We returned this afternoon and located the GC. Took a few piccy's of our favourite parts! TFTC!

This one had gone missing again. It's now a black nano as I didn't have any rusty ones left. Happy hunting.

A thorough search of all the life forms (both at child friendly level and above) yielded no result! We had a really good poke around. Is it missing maybe?

We passed 90 minutes in the area of botanical garden and tried three times for several minutes to get this little one but it was not our lucky day .
Thanks anyway

Found this last year with our new to geo caching friend from Germany. Just hadn't logged it. Thanks

11th find for the day, doubled our caches bringing our total to 22 finds in 3 days of caching.

Great cache. Very clever and fun. Wish there were more like this one.

A great sculpting and super hint, took me a while but I managed it with the help of mr RV geo. Havana our geo dog liked the area too. Thank you

Found it. Out and about searching with my partner in crime

Kids loved this one. A great spot to search.

Our first find!!!! Excellent find, great for kids fingers to reach. Children enjoyed the search.

Had a great weekend doing some geocaching travelling from Townsville to Mackay with karicka. TFTC SL TNLN

Caching weekend with Jackylegs44 in Mackay.
Fast to find but tricky to retrieve. Liked the sculptures
Thanks for hiding

Didn't take too long to spot the hiding place, bit harder to get it out but we managed and signed log and replaced. TFTC SeekerVolls

Found this one whilst looking for new cache spots. What luck! Had been planning to upgrade and now that I have I can finally log my find.

Found with Lil modss sltn ft needed extraction device due to big fingers

Came back and after a quick look around, geohubby had it. Great little cache

Nice hide TFTC
