always disapears

No luck today, don't know when Ill be back to check again ...

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. this cache we didn't find...
thanx and hot huggies from Hilvarenbeek - Holland!

Think we found the remains of this one based on the hint. Might be one for the owner to check.

checked all over the cache but could not find it.

I had the same problem like the guy from the comment before mine.
His coordinates helped a lot.

Tfth.

I found out I was searching in the wrong area after reading some logs. Coordinates out by 15m. Not on the toilet block. The coordinates that worked for me today were: S17 19.297 E145 55.692.
TFTC westtigersno1.

Coords way off but resorted to using the ones provided in Roostaman's log. Thank you WESTSTIGERSNO.1 for placing and maintaining this cache

Had to drive geoparents up to cairns to catch their plane back home to Germany after a 5 week holiday. Decided to sneak a couple caches in on the way. Of course it then had to start raining. However, nothing stops a hard core cacher lol and luckily there was shelter. Glad to finally tick this one off the list. However, for us the coordinates were out by a good 15m as gps had GZ for us at the roadside. tftc sl tnln

Found this one. Heavy vehicles were coming and going in the truck parking area, but we had managed to pull off to one side of the road. Not sure whether a cache should be here. TFTC.

Nope

[Blue]# 12496[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another perfect winter day for a drive from Cairns to Innisfail.
We stopped for a cuppa break but was no sure we should be stopping here.
I found it a fair way off at .298 & .692 and looks like it was once a good hide.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina, NSW.
Thanks for the cache WESTSTIGERSNO.1,

Very nice hide. TFTC

found!

Not easy but didn't take us long !!

Took a while and a wide search but finally found it. TFTC

Just visiting

12159 caches found

Grabbed this one on our way to Townsville

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache WESTSTIGERSNO.1

Found it second try. Great work

Reading prior logs allowed us to overcome preconceived ideas of where GZ might be and this soon allowed us to claim the find. Cache and magnet have now parted company but the cache is still in situ and dry. TFTC

After a long look, at last! TFTC

After searching high & low for a long while we finally stumbled across it, co-ords are way off so widen Ur search area! TFTC had us stumped

Coords are out had me on the road after extensive search cache not found

Geocaching around Cairns with Muff1 team. This cache was rather interesting. We believe we found the original container. Yes it is a reflector and only signed by original finder. We added our names and replaced it in its hiding place. Coordinates are very close, if not spot on. SL TNLN TFTC

It appears that Speedmistress and muff1 have found the original cache container, is it a reflector, if so we certainly have. Considering that the only signature in the log book is the FTF Cybergran V, now muff1 and Speedmistress have their names in the book. Cache was found where the co-ords were pointing and with Mr. muff1 found the cache. SL TFTC

TFTC:) just when geo dad and I were about to give up the search, we found it on the way back to the car... GPS had as looking in all the wrong places.

Thanks for another on my map, heads up that it needs to be fixed the magnet is off, and co ords are out.

went for a quick drive after work before it disappears again

TFTC

Quick find on my way to Innisfail area on a mini cache adventure. The cache will need maintenance soon as the magnet is almost falling off the back of the cache. TFTC SL

Apology for late online log entry ....

After recently rediscovering the taste of caching around Cairns, I got organised and met up again with my good friends Ingrid and Walter for another exciting morning in the fresh air around their stomping grounds. It was a bit overcast and drizzly this morning. Nevertheless, temperatures were comfortable and I was excited to find treasures and to continue our catch up.

It's all in the name .... Found treasure swiftly and in good condition. T4TC.

Cool. Third time lucky! Coords still had me out on the highway... lucky for the new hint. TFTC WT's!

Heading down to Townsville for a Pi Day Event cache with Walter and Ingrid. We noticed that no trucks were occupying the space, so we called in and located the cache container by torchlight.
Thanks for maintaining this cache Weststigers.

On my way home to Townsville, from Cairns, and stopped in for what I hoped would be a quick find. I had tried previously on a couple of occasions with little success, but the recently updated coordinates had the cache in my hands in no time.

Log signed. The cache container and contents were found to be in excellent condition. Finding this cache has now given me a total find count of 1305.

Thanks for the Cache hide WESTSTIGERSNO.1 {BA}

Needed a rest break and while here reflected on this caches details....my gps was way out but found it using all the clues...TFTC

Finally, after all the searching of the last weeks we were successful[^]! It is a good idea to approach this cache at night using a headlamp. This makes it way easier to detect what you are looking for. When we tried it in the afternoon there was a very long truck parking with the cab next to GZ[:(!]. We had to give up[:(!]. Coming back at 7:30pm turned out as a real success[^].

Took me a little while but found it. Had to contend with a sleeping muggle truckie but I managed not to disturb him. Glad your back is better. SL TFTC

My sincerest apologies on how long it has taken to perform maintenance as i was struggling with a back issue. I am on the mend and this was the first to be sorted. New container at the same location though it has been moved a little to the older structure. Thats all the help you get with new coordinates.

Had a look for this one on the way home from Mission Beach but the listed coordinates took me 3 meters onto the Bruce Highway...............

Searched the nearby areas but no reflection spotted here today

TFTH

No luck first, so we left. Went back and looked again for 30 min. nothing. Wondering if it's still there!

On our way to the beach today, thought we would stop for a 'rest' & a little 'reflection' but unfortunately did not find the cache here. Will have another go next time.

Even another visit at daytime did not bring a better result.
Walter

Well, we spent some time after dark using a headlamp - following the additional hint. GZ was clearly defined. However, there was nothing resembling a Geocache. To our assumption it is either gone or off the listed co-ordinates.
TFTC anyway,
Walter and Ingrid

War nicht zu finden tftc

Only had a few minutes to search, but too good for us today

Too good for us today unfortunately.

This has been here for a couple of days so I began to think it was not even here. How diabolically devious you are. I was absolutely tackling this from the wrong angle. Now I can claim the First To Find, in a most unsuspecting place, on our trip north to Cooktown. This is only my second FTF and with special thanks to MuggleHubby who does not believe in geocaching, for his continual support and chauffeuring
