This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Messaged owner and they assured us it is still there (owner visited 6 days ago)
Still couldn’t find after 3 visits

Spend days looking for this one while staying in the caravan park. Nothing!

Hmm for DNF for the day!!!

Quite sure it's gone, will notify owner to check

This one need to be checked out, previously it was an easy find in most cases and now it has about eight DNF since April this year with the last find in October last year

Sighted the sign and seat not today

We made good use of the picnic table and had our lunch while looking for this one.
But no luck finding it today.

dnf

oops logged as found but did not

Had a good look but no luck

Given how small this is in the pictures it could be anyway. No luck this time.

Two of us searched and found nothing.

I wonder if this one is stil there. It hasn’t been logged for 6 months. Maybe the situation has been changed. The shed looks quiet new.

Tricky sucker

Out with RoddyC & YOF prior to QOGM 2018.
TFTC

We came across your cache, Nedandmrskelly, on our way with youngoldfella, caching towards this year's QOGM in Barcaldine.

Nice quick find in a nice spot.

Log signed and cache replaced at 7:25 AM on September 19, 2018. TFTC.

Stayed in Carmilla last night and today we head back towards Rockhampton a little bit and start at Clareview. A big day and had to back track about 100 kilometers cue to the Sarina Range being closed. So have to go to Nebo the long way via Mackay as RoddyC could not get autogas in Sarina. Oh well, those are the breaks.
This was a quick easy find.

Blasting North from Bris to Mackay on an epic 2000km 2-day solo roadtrip, because Geocaching . Day 1: an early start reaching Mackay at 4pm before starting South again, 16 hours of driving, 35 caches found and a late finish rolling out the swag in the dark at Waverley Creek rest area.

Amazing views nearby, enjoyed the breeze. Thanks for placing and maintaining this traditional cache **Nedandmrskelly**.

Found but I think it may need a touch of maintenance as it wasn't where it seems it should have been. I've placed it back where I found it though. Perhaps the CO might want to email me and I can explain where I've put it.

Found after searching everywhere possible. TFTC

wow gotta get lucky sometimes after lotd of searching we found this cache tftc

Found Ok

We detoured to grab this little series and did some rock pooling too. What a stunning spot!

Quick find with the geo family as we head north on the final leg of our trip to Mackay from Ballarat in Victoria. Many thanks for the cache.

Fifth time was the charm for this little pest.
This one has evaded me for the last time and now it is a lovely yellow smiley.
I have loved the challenge even though it was very frustrating at times.
Thanks for the cache Nedandmerskelly but I will not be looking for it anymore.
*doing the happy dance*

TFTC SL

Love it!!! We finished our Clairview visit with a find. A tricky little find at that. TFTC.

Heading north for a week of sailing and relaxing in the Whitsundays for our 30th anniversary. Of course we had to cache along the way.

Cheers

Didnt have a retrieval tool with me so didnt sign the log. Beautiful spot.
TFTC

Went back and retrieved the log so i could sign. Theres room for maybe 2 more entries but then will need a new log.

Lucky I packed my tweezers to get the log out. This one needs a new log. T4T $

I am in Australia for 2 weeks, starting with the Mega-event in Alexandra, Victoria.

After an AMAZING 3-day liveaboard-divetrip in The Great Barrier Reef, my plan is to drive from Cairns to Brisbane. I found a car online that needs to be relocated, so I have a free car for 6 days, that's perfect for geocaching

Today I drove from Airlie Beach to Rockhampton, finding lots of nice caches along the way. I especially liked the caches along the coast, just next to Bruce Highway. The views of the ocean were absolutely stunning. I'm so glad there were lots of caches there, otherwise I would have just passed by on A1 without seeing anything.

About this cache:
A quick find thanks to the hint. Never seen a container like this before. Beautiful spot!! Loved the blue rocks and the views. Tftc

Third DNF in a row on this trail. But thanks for showing the blue rocks!
Bigerchen

Third cache on our bike riding afternoon. Lovely afternoon for a ride and we haven't been let down yet. TFTC

We stopped in Clairview to have a look for Dugongs. Unfortunately it was low tide and we couldn't spot any of them.
We searched this cache instead and discovered the blue rocks. Nice.
Thanks for showing. Tftc

4th time unlucky.
This one does not want to be found by us.

After an amazing three weeks away exploring Far North Queensland, it was time to make our way south and back home. Obviously, we made sure to stop regularly for a short break and to stretch our legs.

We managed to locate the cache easily enough and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you Nedandmrskelly for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Gotcha - Found on our way back from Darwin heading for home in NSW.

Quick find

Quick find all good... beauty tiny one TFTC

Wow

A big YES from us this time around. I can see how one may miss finding this little sucker, and I mean little. Today it just happen to give it's self up to us and then I dropped a magnet so it was a hunt all over again but we found it and returned it to the container. SL TFTC

Hello from belgium

All o k today

Found it with bikesu.Tftc

On our way to Airlie Beach with our caravan. Stopping for sightseeing, walks and grabbing smilies. Tftc

Found with Pprass during our trip down to Yepoon, caravans in tow.

Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Found at 10:10 AM GAFF1in the company of Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder.
Another tricky cache in a lovely spot. Found the container on the ground though and were not quite sure where to replace it.
Thanks Nedandmrskelly.

Beautiful spot for a picnic but looking for this cache could send you round the twist! Glad to have found it as quick as we did. TFTC Nedandmrskelly.

oh my gosh - we laughed so much at the shark sign here - took a heap of time to prance around taking pictures of it!! This is an AMAZING cache, Thoroughly deserves a favourite point. And watch out everyone, there are so many red herrings in the logs - dont believe them all. Only one gives a good hint as to where it is.

Sneaky little bugger at this very pretty place. A lunch break on the way to Mackay. TFTC

What a great little hide. Took us a bit but stepped back and took in the surroundings then finally spied it. Tftc

Didn't find it.

Never seen that type of cache before. Nice view.

Not found at 10:27 on our 9th day on holiday in Australia.

Omg tiniest cache find to date and in the most breath taking of places. We are brisbane bound from townsville and had stopped here for lunch, after a stroll along the beach (omg how warm is the water ) and a bite to eat I thought I'd check to see if there where any caches near by & surprise surprise all I needed to do is turn around hehehe. Signed & returned TFTC & for the smilie in such a gorgeous location

On a road trip with Geo-Nanna, Teen Geo and her friend today (we had planned to find 18 caches today but the day just gets away from you and we only scored 12). A quick trip from Mackay, we've always wanted to stop at Clairview and this was our third stop and WOW What a View!!! After reading some of the previous logs I wasn't sure we would find this one (especially given that a few experienced cachers we know had logged a DNF before eventually finding it!). Well this spot presents a few possibilities doesn't it? It may have taken four sets of eyes and a good twenty minutes but YES we found it! That is tiny! The view was magnificent despite the sunny day and 1000 percent humidity! Man, it was hot. TFTC. TNLN. SL.

Tricky little hide. TFTC

Nice hide and nice location. A favourite point from me

Didnt find it

Have seen this type of container before, you can buy them at the two dollar shops, and chemists, need to glue a small magnet inside and add log.

Not too many places to put it so it was quickly located. Thanks for the cache

We stopped here for a snack - great view although a touch overcast. Never really noticed that the rocks are blue before - I can see it now.
Searched up and down for a little while, then tried a bit harder after reading logs trying to glean any extra hints (not sure if I got any) and finally came across the tiny little thing. This is even smaller than a usual nano. At the right angle and distance I suppose you could see it from afar but it is tricky.

Sadly couldn't find

Tiny TFTC

a quick trip down to Rocky
with a bit of time to stop for a quick look

I have stopped in a here a few times now
today straight to it
seriously - how have I missed it so often [?]
just real happy to scratch that DNF
thanks for the cache Ken

Easy find

saw it as I walked up.


helps that I was using the hint you gave me at the event last week.

all good here

TFTC

Finally, but with so much help we couldn't help but find it and my guess its always been there laughing at our attempts to find it.

We will have to offer up a fav point to this cache as it has turned into our nemesis and every trip it has called to us. We answered the call at least once each trip much to our total failure.

TFTC Ned.

Gotcha tftc

Found it, has a new log, so maybe it got replaced? Anyway thanks for the cache, nice views.

Yep again A DNF but this time I was sure it would be a find. Last visit I we had something in hand but didn't look close enough I fear that was the cache. today I looked it wasn't there and I couldn't find it anywhere either. Would've continued my search but for the muggle that arrived so I just moved right along.
will send you a photo of where I think it should be Ned.

Mr beetle found this one while I was checking the logs after our initial search turned up nothing. An unusual nano but we have found a couple of these before. Thanks.

Hint: 4 poster bed

Tftc

Nice easy find but thanks for the cache

I am now with all the others in psst a DNF

Stopped here today for lunch on our way through to Mackay. We are travelling for a few months from Melton Victoria. We thought we'd have a look to see if there was a cache here and sure enough there was. Lucky for us we were the only ones in sight so had no problems with muggles. Found it quickly. Not the smallest cache we've found and it's certainly a different type of nano to what we've found before. Great hide.
SL TFTC

On our trip around Australia we stoped here to grab the Cache.
Thank's to show us this beautiful place.

Greetings from Switzerland.

Returned today for a fish so no muggles around and a quick find was made TFTC

Muggles seated where we wanted to look alike leaving this one but might return tomorrow for some fishing and check it out again.

Found. Smallest cache ever

Quickly found

We have moved & are now camping at Flaggy Rock. a great location for the nearby caches.
Thanks for placing this cache Nedandmrskelly

Wow so many DNFs for this one. Found after 10 mins of goose chasing but eventually laid eyes on the little shiny bugger and did the signing duties. Beautiful spot!

Finally got you - after 4attemps in 14mnths. Thankyou.

Are you saying it was there???

This cache has eluded many. Visited yesterday and replaced log.

It is amazing how compulsive one can be and not give up. Walked away Blue though and shall try again.

Feeling blue

??

Second attempt and still no joy.
After contacting the CO for a hint or two still no smiley
I will be back.

DNF on the road trip from Mackay.
Great day caching with great people.
Sorry for the cut and past logs but I got over 50 smilies today.

SL TFTC

We spent around an hour looking for this little sucker, but to no avail.....

still no find, I'm over it. Will try again one day with a fresh set of eyes.[8]

TFTDNF again Ned

Too good for us today. Will be back

TFTC

no good here today, I didn't feel too good so I watched as she looked but no matter where she looked she found zero cache here might have to get another clue I think.
we will be back.

Stopped for a spot of lunch.
Looked and looked.
Couldn't find it.
Bugga.

We add our name to the list of DNF's for this one we looked high, low and far and wide. To well hidden for us today.

Quick find, but needed the tweezers to get the log out.
TFTC!
