As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Looked but wasn't there!!

I'm sure we were in right location, but wasn't there! Ran into others on the same hunt!!

I believe someone has made off with our little cache - I will go up this weekend to check on it.

The first time I was on the wrong side of the water, then I retourned to get on the right side. After that I searched few minutes but I wasn't sucessful, but the mozzies were...
Anyway, it's a nice area here. Thanks

Spent 15 mins searching with no luck.

Three of us had a scout around but wasn't to be today. ~ TFTC FifiMeow.and.son

Not found as part of Suzy's week long caching car-cation up the coast to Rockhampton.

Found the location, exactly the spot where others took photos holding it. Searched for about 15 mins but could not find it

Found it on my second attempt and walked straight to it. First time I was on the wrong side of the water, but met a friendly lizard.

Found it

Wow it's such a great spot, thanks

Wonderful to see such an array of wildlife. Saw a 3 foot long lizard on the path to the cache - quite a thrill! We are a lovely picnic nearby then found the cache in the first place we looked. What a lovely botanical gardens. TFTC

12.40pm - Just had to use caching thoughts to find this one, only mozzies about today. SLTFTC

Thanks for giving us a reason to check out the gardens! Outstanding:)

Nice walk and easy find. Beautiful spot in Hervey Bay. Forgot the pen so didn't sign the log. Cool container. TFTC

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did while visitng Liz & Bruce in October 2014. I have found my favourite area in Australia. The weather is almost always mild and plants grow as if the soil is spiked!! It doesn't hurt my dear friends have moved up here (for the same reasons I like it). The caches were in good shape and enjoyable. Thanks so much for placing them in such a way I was able to explore the region. Cheers!

We have visited Hervey Bay many times over the years and had never been to the Botanical Gardens before. What a wonderful place. Gardens are beautiful We will definitely be back.
Nice easy find and had the pleasure of sharing the walking path with a 1.5m monitor lizard (amazing).

With our visitors from Adelaide, good friends Skippy and SEMIK we were delighted to be able to show them around this lovely area and to be able to find this cache. Nice hide, we enjoyed the search and find. [^][^] Thanks to FifiMeow.and.son.

Valerie's first geocache find - woo hoo!

Lots of mozzies!

Great spot, TFTC.

Found today at 1125
In conjunction with a visiting Geocaching friend from the Central Coast NSW
SL, All good with the Cache, plenty of hungary mozzies

TFTC and the mozzies.

Took nothing, left nothing. Enjoyed the hunt, but beware of mozzies :/

Found it!! It was a easy one but well hidden

Great spot. Had to back track a bit though. worth it!

Interesting walk. Easy find once we got the phone working. Thanks!

We did enjoy finding this well hidden cache in such a good find to place a cache - good observation indeed! Unfortunately we were on the wrong track at first and ended up in a rather swampy area with plenty of mossies for company! Soon found the right track and the cache was in hand shortly afterwards.
What a beautiful Botanical Gardens.
FTC FifiMeow.and.son for bringing us to these lovely Gardens so that we could enjoy it - much appreciated.

Loved the use of these items to create a container. TFTC

#860 we like caches in botanic gardens and today the sun was out in full. Still a windy day but nice to walk the gardens even if we took to long way around. Cache found by geowife while I was looking up around some logs nice little hide and great idea for a cache. Log dry signed and placed back tftc

The Little Green Man-TB visited this place on 07/29/2014. Sorry for logging so late.
Cheers lausitzhexen / Germany

TFTC! It was an easy find and a really nice bushwalk. A Duck-Family joined us while searching.

Another drive to Hervey Bay, to pick up a few caches that we missed on our last visit.
Enjoyed the walk along the creek, for a quick find of an interesting container.
Many thanks for placing this cache, FifiMeow.and.son, for us and others to find.

Great find. Walking through bush tracks

Lovely wall in the gardens

Lovely walk and we really enjoyed the orchid house. Tftc from team haggisdoodle from Scotland.

Great gardens on a sunny day. Took the long way back and enjoyed very much.

Tftc

Found it. Thanks. Easy find

beautiful garden and lots forest with lake cool TFTC

Beautiful Botanical garden and smell fresh air... Cool cache.. hide well .. thank

For once I was on the right side of the water! I usually choose the wrong approach. However, it did take me a tour around the whole Botanic Gardens to find the entrance... which I didn't mind as I'm counting steps again for the GCC. Thanks for hiding another cache, FifiMeow.and.son. Maybe we get the chance to catch up while I'm up here?

Found easily on a sunny afternoon, no muggles around. TNLNSL.

Easy

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found in the late afternoon going on dark with a lighting storm beginning, not a good time for mozzies.
I initially followed the walking path through the gardens and found that i was on the wrong side of the water, backtrack to the bridge and on to the cache. I was initially searching several meters away from the cache where my GPS was pointing, in error possibly due to the storm above. I decided to expand my search and bingo, easy find.

Me and sisters first geocache, finally found it after walking around in circles and getting eaten alive by Mosquitos. Signed the book and placed a ring in there.

Great destination to go geo caching.

Found it yahoo went looking and looking with mum

Finally found it while getting bitten by Mosquitos. Mozzy spray is definitely needed

Went around in circles bit but found it

Found on a bike ride around urangan

My sister, doscrapbooking, and I are heading north looking for caches over the next few days on a road trip.
Today is day 4 of our road trip and we have had some fun in Harvey Bay.
The two Whereigo caches were the reason we have come to Harvey Bay. [^]
With the Whereigo's done, Di and I headed for a few of the local caches to fill in the afternoon yesterday and stayed at a local caravan park.
Today we plan a few quick finds before heading to Brisbane.
We headed into the Gardens and of course walked up the wrong side of the creek.... back to the bridge and once at GZ a quick find.
With the Log book signed, cache replaced and we were on our way again. [^]
Thanks for the cache

Having met up with my offspring (dooscrapbooking & Brother Colin) at the Wherigo Cache out on the Point. both .
Arrived at the gates an hour before closing, plenty of time, arrived at the GZ, a quick check of the clue, Ah, that looks likely,
An easy find, Log signed, and duly replaced,
The cache is in spite of the very wet weather.
Took TB

Hello from Sweden
Out and about on a 4 day trip with my big brother (Brother Colin) this is the last day.
Now I just followed behide Colin logging other caches we had found this morning, of course we took the wrong side of the creek[:o)]
Container is nice and dry
TFTC

Quick find as co-ords were pretty good. Gardens are still green despite the lack of rain, although the creek is pretty low. Nice robust cache should last for a while. TFTC

A nice easy find, after a lovely picnic lunch in the gardens. Also saw resident goanna patrolling!

had fun with this one at the gardens

The GPS was all over the place and while I was trying to sort that out Mrs. Guddink said, Try HERE.
She was right again..!

TFTC. TNLN

Had trouble finding this geocache need some form of hint or something was looking for quite awhile but no dice wanted to place a tracking item I picked up from coolum in it that I found today

What beautiful gardens. Plenty of birds but no snakes today. TFTC

Thanks - easy one. 3 out of 3 today. Didn't realise the botanic gardens were so extensive. Very enjoyable.

Found at 09.05. We were on the other side of the gully at first. A few mozzies around.

Parked in the car park past the shopping centre and there was a council gardener right in front of me. Made the short pleasant stroll to GZ and soon had the container in hand. As I was approaching GZ I had noted that there was no need to leave the path and I thought well that is where I would hide it and there it was. I have seen this type of container before and even make similar ones to this. TFTC FifiMeow.and.son

After signing the log I realised that I had missed two separate cachers within 3/4 of an hour. What a beautiful and peaceful area. Had to leave the geopup out the front for this one. Took compass, left spanner. TFTC!

Nice easy find after a wander through the gardens. The kids love this place and were very excited to see a goanna and 2 snakes swimming around with the ducks and turtles. TFTC

A pleasant stroll along a shady path. GPS led me to the precise location. Left a penguin and took a smerf. TFTC

Signed log and dropped off a beautiful little "joo and eth" pathtag

found it! If only they gave out awards for second to find, LOL. I did the ultimate geocaching mistake, and forgot to bring a pen! Will be back in a couple of days to sign the log.
This was a very cool cache, in a beautiful area. IM very happy that you placed a cache here, or else I would never have gone down to that area. TFTC!

FTF. Finally got a FTF and it was in one of my favourite places in the Bay. It is just so nice and peaceful here in the gardens. Looked for the Goanna but couldn't see it anywhere. So I signed the log and put the cache back in place and then went on a nice leisurely walk around the area. Thanks FifiMeow and son for the cache.
