TFTC found last year just checking up

Cache approaching nearly 12 months with only DNFs and maintenance requests. Probably due for a maintenance check.

DNF. We should read previous logs before....

DNF, last find was 8 months ago from the look of comments. Had a great time watching my stubborn girlfriend look around while I sat down though!

Dnf

Looked under every seat but could end find it.

Only 2 DNF's, but it would be interesting if the CO could just check on it to see how we could have missed this cache.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Just couldn't find it. Very dissappointing as this is such a lovely location. We were trying to be inconspicuous as they were setting up for a function at this venue. Thence came the discussion about geocaching that sparked alot of fasination and some further searching. Alas no luck but beautiful views.

DNF at 11:11 AM.
A lovely location where we saw a crew setting up for a function for that night. We were approached by one of them to see if we were involved in the party, but we then told him about geocaching and he was fascinated. However after about 15 minutes of searching - we gave up after looking under every bench seat.

All quiet here this morning, so perfect for a hunt... [^]

After following the GPS, the coords were spot on and with one glance, had the container in hand... Name in the log, it was tucked back and I headed off.

I have to admit to having a bit of a chuckle at the DNF log from the first non finder... All a bit serious for me...

Cheers Cat and Bear.

Wow! biggest cache we've found in this type of hide. Just happy there were no cruisey cruise ships in or it could have got awkward.....not to mention parking. TFTC Cat and Bear.

We had two little ones with us and discovered that finding this one was going to take more time than we (they!) had. Will have to return one day, which unfortunately will be difficult since I'm from the USA. Oh well.

TFTC!

Very upsets and angry

Good one )
Nobody around today

very sneaky hide in a public place. well done!!! FP earned

Out and about exploring Townsville's Port and the Strand, using geocaching as our guide. Found @ 10.05 good hide, had us going for a bit!

Thanks Cat and Bear

Was bored in cyclone Debbie! TFTC!

Tftc. No muggles around tonight, made for a quick find.

Thanks munzee

Took a while but we got there. Good one

TFTC. I hate to admit it - but this was my third attempt at this one. I have awarded it a favorite point as it is a decent sized cache in a sometimes busy spot.

TFTC. I found this one yesterday with my Aunty.

"Up North" for a weekend away, and I was able to nip out in the early morning for a quick run around the area. Glad it was early as I had to go behind the fence, but the find was quick and the place was deserted. Loving the river.
Thanks for placing this cache, Cat and Bear. Found in good condition.
*{Overall find #5050}*

Our second find on this spooky night. I hadn't even realised construction of the cruise ship terminal had been started, so it was a surprise to get to GZ and find a beautiful new building. TFTC!

TFTC Found with Adam044 & Jackman08

Now and again a come here to have my takeaway lunch. Nice views of Townsville and Maggie Island and you often have the place to yourself. I could today check out the RORO ship Victorious Ace, that must be one of the ugliest looking ship around.. Looks just like floating Parking house and that is exactly what it is a car carrier. Thanks for the cache that is in great condition.

Thanks Cat and Bear for bringing me here. It was a great view of Townsville from here. Found the cache and logged my visit.

We are the best kept secret in the galaxy. We monitor, licence and police all alien activity on the Earth. We're your first, last, and only line of defense. We live in secret, we exist in shadow we are the men in black. T.F.T.C

Tftc. Log to follow.

Our last cache for this trip . We haven't seen the development before so it was interesting to explore the area. Tried a couple of options before finding the right GZ. TFTC and farewell once more Townsville!

easy find with jusafan1107 while walking the geohound no one around tonight so it was easy to look for it T.F.T.C

Found on a night time drive so was very quiet here tonight. Found with Choppersrule. TFTC

??

There were a few muggles around so we had to be unobtrusive while grabbing this one. TFTC

Found it while waiting for the ferry

TFTC

Thought we were on to something fairly quickly here but when we pulled it out it was 2 remote controls for some lighting set up.
Must admit that this one took forever and we nearly gave up at least a dozen times. We couldn't seem to get a lock on both coordinates. In the end we just started searching everything that was hinted at in the logs and eventually we found it. A much bigger container than we were expecting too.
Thanks, a lovely area to visit.

Snuck in before the "Social BBQ" here tonight. Beautiful day to watch the boats in and out too. TNLN TFTC

A quick cache before dinner.
Visiting on HMAS ADELAIDE.

Catching up with some very late logs

We are heading to Townsville in a few weeks on our three month all around Australia adventure and were looking at what caches we would be able to find and realised that the caches Mrs Crackers found back in May last year when she was here for a work conference hadn't been logged so that it now being rectified.

The conference opening night function was held here on the wharf and whilst sipping my champagne and enjoying the canapes I was talking to some other delegates and explaining that Geocaching was a pastime that we enjoy immensely and checked the phone and sure enough the cache was 32 metres away. A group of five or so joined me in the search and the cache was soon in hand and our name was added to the log.

Thanks Cat and Bear for a cache in a great spot.

TFTF. Son managed to get it

Good cache. Thanks

What a great terminal, however it's so humid here and not quite used to it. TFTC

Found at 135. A quick find The GPS was spot on and the hint helped. TFTC,

TFTC Nice spot.

TTFC

We found the cache using the hint as now you don't seem to have to go to the end of the path until you can go no further.

Found it

Tftc

Couldn't find

Looked in the wrong place for quite a while! Silly gps. Easy find in hindsight. Tftc

Found the sticker but not the container

Good find....our easiest find so far! Tftc

Interesting cache my GPS on my phone was playing up and luckily guessed location. Went to replace and almost lost the cache but was able to retrieve it. Tftc

Took some time to find tonight. Place was deserted and we had no trouble with security. The second structure we looked at had the goods!
TNLN
TFTC

Thought I would try a bit of night caching. Unfortunately a muggle security guard came over from the port as he had seen me looking around on the port security cameras and questioned what I was doing. After a bit of explaining he said I was welcome to stay - however I decide to leave it for another night.

Once at GZ quickly found cache.. It was found open and in an awkward space which I'm guessing isn't it's normal home, was able to put it all back yo together again tho TFTC

we're on holiday and traveling from Brisbane to Cairns (Cape Tribulation) and all places between. we try to find a cache every day. some are easy to find and some are more difficult. but with every cache we find we get a smile on our face and a smile on our map.
thanx and hot huggies from Hilvarenbeek - Holland!

Ok... 4 times lucky with this one... If you're a fellow cacher looking for this one... just ignore all the clues in this one bar the hint. Tricky and a tougher find than it seems.

Found with Doddski

Found it!
Definitely well hidden

A few caches today to meet my October target.
Parked nearby and went for a short, muggle free, walk. The cache was found in the second structure I looked in.
Quite a lot of traffic at the sugar terminal today. Otherwise not much happening around GZ
Cache is in good condition and just waiting for more finders.
Thanks for hiding here

Tftc

Not overly clear... what is a "GZ"?

Hard to hard

Waiting to go home to Maggie so thought I would take a look at this cache So nice to sit n enjoy the view

I wonder about people saying "easy find"....this isn't the first time I've been here. So much has changed since it was first published

Found it easily. Thank you and greetings from Finland

Quick find while waiting for the VP fly over TFTC

First DNF gps reception was playing up at this location. Looking at pictures lead me one way. Gps lead me another i will try this again with a second set of eyes later tonight.

Easy find

we had to look somewhat, but than we found it!

Waiting for the ferry to Magnetic Island and what does one do ? Search for a cache .. and find it rather quickly

Cache has been replaced and moved !!

Curisey Cruise Cache has been replaced by a local cacher as we have moved to Darwin.
Cache has been moved and replaced. What are you waiting for. !!

Moved a lot of rocks. Full of rubbish here. Looks like it hasn't been found in a while.

Can't grab it at night without attracting unwanted attention from my shipmates on HMAS Canberra

Not sure if this is still here. Shifted a whole lot of rocks, but no cache to be found. Place is full of rubbish

The third part of our 6-week-journey in Australia took us from Cairns to Brisbane and also led us to this hiding place. Till now, we had such a nice holiday visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Great Ocean Road, Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Alice Springs and so many interesting places – beautiful. Unfortunately, we had no success.

Greetings
globus from Germany

TFTC!

Found with woffodave on a run.

#431 a nice find after lunch on Palmer.

So I'm flying to Melbourne this evening and won't be back for a while, so we went out as a family to celebrate my and my dads birthdays. We ate at Mar Ionio(nice) and then I asked if we could find this cache. Eventually we got to the right place. We parked and I was soon at grand made an easy find. Signed the log before replacing and enjoying the views. Took some photos and got some Munzees, and off I went.
Thanks for the cache Cat and Bear!

First cache found. Signed log and returned.

For those that believe it's all about the journey rather than the destination, we explored more areas of Townsville Port than most locals in attempting to locate the Cruise Terminal. Well, after plenty of wrong roads as the Tom Tom had no idea, we found the new terminal building. First smilie for this cache. With no one around we parked and walked to the GZ nd located the cache. A favourite point from us because of the journey.
