time to archive this one and start again

Didn’t look that long but didn’t get it

Traveling the country and collecting caches when we can. Not sure it's floodproof anymore. Its missing a lid. Tftc.

Team GSL!

Had trouble with the reception under trees

Unable to find due to phone recep..

Left the family at Sugarland and went for a caching drive in Cairns today.
Made this one much harder than it was, but thats where I would have placed it
Thanks for the cache

Today we left Cairns and headed back to Atherton to find the caches that we had not done since our last visit and this was one of them. At GZ Mrs "T" made a quick find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Lovely views and plenty of duck TFTC

1000 - Out and about with a visiting Kiwi friend and enjoying this beautiful, slightly overcast day and the fresh air. The experience must have been so good that my friend decided to join and register with his caching name ....
Today was my lucky day and I finally can log a find for this cache after many empty handed visits. T4TC.

Cairns trip 2016. Day 17. Today was a caching around Cairns day. I headed south and did a few along the Bruce highway. Some were nasty and some were traditional drive bys.

Thanks.

Thanks for the cacheFullboar>

After many many attemps we finally fiund it what a wonderful spot well done

Well secured cache. Had bread ready for the ducks but forgot to bring it. Nice park area.

I did find it last time but the lid on the container was stuck. Much easier this time. Thanks for the hide in this great spot:-)

Found it, but tree has grown around it so had to carve a little.

No luck today. I will return with the GPS

Every time I come to cairns I have checked for this one and with the updated cords I finally have had success still had to have the geocaching head on to find it and deft not going to be washed away in a flood TFTC

Very smart!

In my younger years I could have made that jump? but not with these knees now.

cache was still there with a clean log, moved to new coordinates to hopefully make it easier

4 DNF's from some newbies with their I Phones does not constitute a "needs archiving", did you actually look for the cache yourself?

Hi there Fullboar>,

Your cache "Lilly & Amelia's Duck Pond" was last found on 1/10/2014, 314 days ago, and has had 6 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

Spent a while looking. Doesn't help when there is no description. Could be missing. Please confirm if still there.

I must be blind or on a different wavelength because I really struggle to find these small caches. Grrr

got the heads up from a local that the cache was missing again, have placed another cache in the same location

Couldnt find it will try again some other time

Confirmed with someone who has found it, I'm at the right spot, but I can't find it. Will come back when not also kid wrangling

I don't understand why SirJ-Oz would put a needs maintenance log on this cache as it is in position at the listed coordinates, in good condition and the hint matches the cache location.

No pleasing some people i guess

Quick find on an early stroll, nice little spot and container, should have bought the geokids, TFTC Fullboar>.

Tftc

The placement doesn't match the hint. As indicated by my log and the previous finder, this cache would benefit from some attention from the CO.

Find #1515. Found @ 12:45.

I'd just completed a multi that started very close, and decided to pick this one up on the way back to the car.

I was looking in the wrong spot until I checked the previous logs. The container location doesn't match the hint and it took me way too long to find.

I placed it back where I found it, but probably needs some maintenance performed on it by the CO.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Fullboar>.

Enlisted the help of Team Margie!

We love this place so much so thanks for bringing us here, we are definitely coming back with a loaf of bread. Searched for this one for 1 1/2 hours and just when we were going to give up thought we'd have one last look and.. bingo! Geokid stepped on it near the edge in a random spot hidden under debris, it was on it's side so wasn't sure where it's proper location was. Reading other logs to try and find original location was a bit confusing so have placed near where we found it hidden next to a white rock marker within range of gps co-ords. Hope all is ok. TFTC

Tricky

Next time! Tricky one!

Tftc

Finally I can tick this cache off. I just happened to look at the right angle and spotted the little critter. TFTC SL

Third time and found it. No pen but a lovely bug on the lid. TFTC

Not sure if this is a old cache due to its random location and I left my pen at home - I have hung this cache up very close to where I found it

After goodness knows how many attempts to find this we finally got it sorted (after multiple rebuilds by CO). Thanks heaps for keeping this one alive.

Checked this one and it's been muggled again

Cache Version 5, trying to keep this one alive so moved the cache away from the bridge a little.

Please use stealth and replace as found.

cache container V.4, new cache and log, see how long this one lasts

bring your own biro

Found

Not sure if this one's still here. We located a large opened container in the open but that's all. Please check it's still in the right spot.

Got it this time! Thanks : )

checked on this one today and replaced the cache with a temporary camo mint tin, will see if this one lasts and may have to archive the cache if it goes missing quickly again.

BYO biro............

Can owner please do a check on this one. Will be back as soon as i know its still safe and in play.

Searched everywhere a likely hide and even those places i didnt think would be likely but had to look anyway. Think i will be back to smiley this cache soon. TFTH

On holidays, will check on this one when we get home

Spent quite a while looking for this today with no luck. My little princess loved the ducks though! Happy New Year.

Is it gone again?

Our third attempt was successful in the end. The container seems to be in its "natural habitat".
TFTC, Fullboar!

It was good to see that this cache is now back waiting to be found.
It will probably end up being our most closest find to home. In the afternoon there wasn't too many muggles around apart from some keen fisherkids who weren't catching much of anything.
Definitely no room for swaps or trackables in this new container.
Thanks Fullboar for this cache.

Muggles around packed like sardines. Not a thought of searching for this treasure came into our mind!
We have to revisit the place again in a quieter moment.

Kids a bit scared of the dead spiders but courage got them through. Took gold coin, left shell. Thanks for the find

FTF at 12:50pm. A few children playing in the park and the local Council workers were having a lunch break right over the GZ. Hung about for a while and appreciated the ducks and the pond, and eventually the workers left and we had the cache in an instant. This is a popular spot, so I hope the cache will survive in its present location. Nice camo but still exposed.
TFTFTF SL TNLN. Sorry the Boys of Spinmeout did not have any bread to feed the Ducks.
