No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

As per lokipagan's log below. At the moment you won't be able to collect the info needed, sorry.

This needs to be disabled unfortunately. Currently the area is under heavy construction and we could only find one clue that wasn't behind construction fencing. A shame for us as it looked like a great way to spend a bit of time and a great cache.

After some shopping it was time for some caching and this one was very interesting. Learnt a lot and quickly had the info, some confusion as we tried to navigate back the listed co-ords not the final waypoint. Geo-girl 9 found the container and the log was signed, thanks for an interesting cache corikra.

We collected the clues around this beautiful campus quickly. I was a little worried as one of the signs was missing however it wasn't one of the required ones. Headed to GZ expecting a lengthy search however the CO has been very kind here.

Our last day in Townsville, today we have been told of a couple of unusual caches that we plan to find.
Once at GZ we soon noticed the cache.
Thanks for placing this cache corikra

Found after lecture - cool little camouflaged cache, nice and quick. 5 April 2016

Visiting my old university with geofille , this cache was handy so we went on an interesting geological tour and eventually obtained the required coordinates. Thanks corikra. [8)]

Out for a look at the uni where geopop used to work and geosista now works, on a roaring hot, but quiet Sunday. Solved the clues and had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for. Soon had the red hot cache in hand. TFTC corikra

We enjoyed gathering the required information on a quiet Saturday with no one around. Thank you for taking us there corikra.

Solved last weekend but had flat batteries in the GPS. Waited till Sunday morning so I would have the place to myself. Great Idea loved the rocks and the display. Thanks for the hide. Now I need a rock hammer to extract the GOLD!!!

A short walk to this Box. The puzzles were solved during our holidays, Greetings from Switzerland.

Bit hard to find if you don't read the whole instruction. Lol

Enjoyed strolling around getting the co-ords. Appropriate container too! TFTC.

[Blue]# 12400[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another very warm winter day to find a few more caches around townsville.
Another multi puzzle found and ticked off the list.

The kidlets had fun finding this one.... Tftc

Loved the interesting rock collection and the informative display. Cheeky idea for hide tftc

What a great display of rocks! From the earthcaches I've done, I've developed an interest in geology. So I spent quite a while here,mreading the display note and feeling the rocks.

Eventually, I had visited the entire garden and had some coordinates. No problems at final. All in good order. Thanks for the puzzle and cache, Corika

Found it with sentala Blair TFF

I found it really hard to find but TFF

Love the find. Good puzzle one.

Being the last day of this visit to Townsvillle, we picked up some last minute caches.

An excellent day for tackling this puzzle, as there were no muggles in sight.
Enjoyed the stroll, reading the plaques, and collecting the required information.
The rocks on display were awesome, and the well camouflaged cache was found quickly.
Many thanks for a great fun cache, corikra.

Found on a lovely sunny Saturday afternoon. Quickly collected the required information then a quick walk to GZ. A couple of minutes then cache was in hand. Definately one for a weekend or after hours, muggle central during the uni week. TNLN TFTC

It was late in the afternoon when muggle friend Gavin and I visited JCU to identify the information required to locate this cache. We parked and soon found ourselves in the rock garden. Using some phone light we were able to amass the required digits to calculate a set of final coordinates. We set off on the short walk to the final hide and after arriving quickly had the cache container in hand.
A fun puzzle cache that allowed Gavin his first visit to the Townsville campus of JCU. Thanks Corikra for this cache.

Fun find!

Fun one! Tftc

Great cache. Easy find if you think

Had a little spare time to solve the co-ords today. Nice rocks

What to do on a fine Sunday afternoon? Sit and watch the cricket or maybe the V8s? Nope we took the opportunity of a deserted campus to attempt this cache. We wandered amongst the garden collecting the required information before punching it into the GPSr.

We wandered of in the direction of the red arrow and commenced our search. We were not finding what we sought so resorted to the hint. This only confirmed that we could not find the prize and had decided to head back to check our computations. As we did geoP called out "Hang on, that looks suspicious" and yes it was!

We had made the find but the GPSr indicated our calculated GZ was 10m away. Coud be we got one numberwrong or it could be cache creep. Either way we thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the experience.

Easy find once we worked out the coordinates

Thank for the mystery. If you find the right Information board, than it's easy.

As it was still early I found my way into the uni and its unique 'free' car park and headed to WP1. A nice collection of geological specimens awaited. Not many clues in the first bit but I made sure I had a good look over the rocks - no gold spotted in the gold ore lumps though! Collected all the clues and got some coords that weren't a million miles away. Got to GZ and went in a circle before spotting the very appropriate container. Signed and replaced.

A favourite for showing me something different.
Thanks!

It was a quiet night at the uni rock garden so almost had the place to myself with only a few uni muggles coming and going and no one seemed to care what I was doing. After a quick walk to obtain all the info the cache was soon in my hands!

# 919 We were doing some errands and decided to pick off a few Munzees and a cache.

Quickly collected the required info, and was heading over to the final hiding place when we realised it was a BYOP and as usual, we had not.

Scratched our name in the log as best we could with a stick in the 6th to find spot.

Love the geo type caches +1 Fav

Headed out to JCU with RobS72 and Ms MattCNS. For those of us into rocks this is a great feature! The three of us made quick work of gathering the clues and were soon heading off to GZ. Once there it was a reasonably quick find.TFTC.

Out caching with Mr & Ms MattCNS today. We soon had the required information necessary by studying this interesting rock feature. A short stroll later had us at the final GZ where MattCNS found the cache quickly. TFTC SL {#364}.

Well saw this notification come up yesterday however with a 12 hour shift ahead for the CMC concert we decided to leave these caches. Today after amending some blisters we decided to grab this cache. What a lovely spot in the UNI who knew this was here. Grabbed all the information and made our way to GZ. After a short search the cache was in hand. 2nd to find nice . Was using the IPhone and the final was 7 meters out but still a good find as there aren't too many hiding options at GZ.

Thanks for this enjoyable cache. We haven't looked looked at the brain teaser cache that will be solved later on.
