Going Loco ... steams again! Edmonton, Queensland, Australia
By Spinmeout (maintained by RobS72) on 12-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5BP77

Unfortunately, I no longer live in North Queensland, so Im no longer in a position to effectively maintain this cache. Time for it to be archived and free up room for someone else. Thanks to all who have found (or not) this cache.

Random geocaching on a visit from Perth TFTC. unable to sign (UMeHedgiE) 10 Mar. 23 as the log has disintegrated. See photo

Needs attention see photo

Fourth time lucky to find this one. Tftc

This cache is what it needs, a great location, a steam and locomotive theme, a cleverly hidden, dry box and a nice little riddle. FP from us and TFTC

Not found. There was a bit of rubbish in some of the obvious places, so I wasn't game to put my hands in there. Otherwise, it was a very nice spot.

Finally found this one. Log needs maintenance as has disintegrated! I will try to replace it next time I am down here

Log has disintegrated

After a bit of rummaging found it. Log needs replacing

TFTC smile 8221 out and about miss Millie geo dog having a great time could not get the container open so sign on the front can you remove picture after you look at pic

Thank you, Spinmeout (maintained by RobS72), for placing this cache for our0p enjoyment.

I went on a week long trip to Cairns to escape the Canberra region and do a little diving and some exploration with caching to keep me busy. The warm weather was refreshing after the Canberra winter. As usual after flying up there was lots of walking but it was great to be out. Day 9. After my second boat trip and some amazing diving I had another two days to explore. Today I went up the Giles range to Atherton. A nice dry day today and some good caches today.

I had a look at the plaque and confirmed the GZ for this one before heading over to the other equipment to hunt around and find the cache. One out of three in this busy park.

Thanks for the cache RobS72

Had a couple of minutes free so I thought I’d try for this one. Great spot & nice use of available fixtures at GZ. The lid was a bit tight but otherwise found without incident. Looks like the plaque has been restored so this cache can probably go back to being a multi. Great job, TFTC!0

Found it! Took us a while, but we were successful in the end! A favourite point from us! TFTC

Glad I had an implement with me. SL and returned in place. Now for a wander around the park. TFTC

Nice hide plaque is back so work it out easy one.

Thank you for that nice and easy multi and I got all answers done about 2 weeks ago cos of the rain ️ rain ️ rain ️ so I came here and started rain while I sign and got signed and returned same place and cache in good condition and fav point from me. TFTC

Found with Mrs Coconut after a leisurely round of mini golf. Very gingerly stuck my hand in the hole. TFTC

I was entertained by the peacocks being chased by Willy wagtails as I was searching. NEF. TFTC.

Found with bretto77

Easy find with mates once we worked it out

Found with bretto77 TFTC!

Didn't bring pen but next best thing

After solving puzzle I wandered over to GZ sticking my hand in and under feeling my way around here proved to rather unnerving and my fear of being bitten won will be back to sign

Our time in FNQ is drawing to an end. So we decided to do some full on caching and left the caravan in Walkamin whilst we head out to explore Port Douglas and Cairns.

After a big caching day yesterday it was after 9am before we headed out. Another 31degrees and the humidity was rising. We headed up to Trinity beach to start the day then cached down to Gordonvale for lunch at Piefection before returning to our camp at 5.30pm.

Really enjoyed touring Cairns and being tourists using geocaching as our tour guide.

Quick find after reading the cache page. Think the sign is back now but we found the cache.

TFTC

Fairly quick find once on site...good hide, nice little park, tftc

Papers are falling apart! Beautiful day for this one! TFTC

Found while caching with the geo family. Cache was newer and different to the previous spoiler pic.

Quick find while the geokid looked at the loco. TFTC

Been a long time between visits for this poor cache
Log has disintegrated but still the bottom half of log book pages left to sign - top half is dust! One day I'm going to find a cache by touch in the first place I put my hand haha! Probably spiders here too if those are spider sacs on top [:/] TFTC enjoyed the hunt

Nice spot! TFTC.

Left the family at Sugarland and went for a caching drive in Cairns today.
At the end of my round trip I had a few minutes to spare and found this cache.
The loco sign is still missing, read some other interessting signs about the place
Thanks for the cache

The information plaque required to find the cache has indeed gone missing. Until it has been replaced, I have turned this cache into a Traditional find by providing the final coordinates within the cache description.

I will alter the description once again by removing the final coordinates from public display and returning it back to a Multi-Cache find once the information plaque has been replaced.

Thanks to SFJeff for alerting me to the plaques disappearance.

The information plate for the clues is missing, so there is no way to get the data.

Looks like the information plaque required to work out the location of the cache hide mightbe missing. Will check on this soon. Until then, I'll disable the listing.

Great little spot tftc

We enjoyed finding this cache with the purple frogs. TFTC

Did this one with the "purplefrogs" I'm hooked. THANKS

Second cache found after a play date out with the Geokids in Cairns.

Tricky and cleverly hidden

Made my way to the train and a peacock came to check me out while I was collecting the information. Then off to GZ and after a handful if spider webs I found the cache. TFTC RobS72

Tftc first multi cache off to find the next

Got help from geodad to solve this but made the find myself. TFTC

We had to take our caravan to the Jayco dealer to have a warranty issue looked at. It has only taken them 9 months to supply the correct parts, despite being sent photos of the affected area way back in October 2014. [:(!]

We enjoyed all the caches we found today.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Catching up on our logs. Spent a weekend in Cairns for geoP birthday and to do some caching while catching up with friends.

Loved this little multi in a nice park and learned some cool facts about locomotive 0-6-0 . thanks for bringing us here. cache is in great condtion just guarded by furry 4 legged friends with 8 eyes that seemed to want to befriend troy much to his dismay lol.

We did this one before but still did the sums in case GZ had moved. We will not say if it has or not you will need to do your own sums to know. SL TFTC

Out an about having a hunt day with the family. Decided to pack a picnic and grab a chook from coles. Had a nice little sit down under the shade of one of the many gigantic trees before heading off on a hunt.

After checking all the obvious spots, we found this one safely secured and away from prying eyes.

TFTC

After a lengthy absence from the 'Cairns hunting scene' (August 2014), I dusted off my gear and met up with my friends Ingrid and Walter for another exciting morning in the fresh air in SW area of the city. Excited to find treasures and to catch up.

Found treasure swiftly and in good condition. +/-0. T4TC.

I little bit late logging this. Geoson and i found this a week ago and i just remembered we havent logged yet. Had coords for a few months now and finally decided time to get grab and sign. Thabkfully noone there after school got out so was smooth tracking to the GZ.
TFTC

Geodad solved a while ago and we had to wait a while to grab it. TFTC

Looked a little learnt a lot Tftc

In the morning I went to the choo choo to collect the information needed. Fortunately this was done easily and a few minutes later I had the cache in hand[^].

On my way I encountered some very eye catching aroused peacocks' tails.

GROUNDHOG DAY!

Captain Terror and I had been in this area before. We had gotten the previous cache back then. I was not aware the other one had disappeared - until I realised what had happened.

Went through the motions again and soon found me a cache... again Name in log.. I'll take it again A nice little park and multi. TFTC RobS72 (and Spinmeout for the last one)

Tftc. With help from Lab0879.

Found by Geomum, again, with Dad suffering cache blindness again. Nice park and interesting caches either side of splashing, Thanks RobS72.

quick find on an early Sunday morning visit, only one of two places it could be

TFTC

Worked these coordinates out about a year ago. Finally got to search for the final hide & it was gone. Went again & it was archived.
Got it today though. Thanks RobS72 for reviving this hide!

Quick find on a quiet Sunday morning.. TFTC SL

FTF - we called in and visited the cute old sugar cane train this morning on the way into town.
Hardly anyone around as we read the information plaque and gathered the required information.
With all of the blanks now having a digit, we calculated a set of co-ordinates and set off in search of the cache. With three of us searching it didn't take too long for the container to be felt.
Thanks RobS72 for restoking this cache. A nice area well worth a visit.
