DNF once again. Grrrr....
 
15-Nov-16
No luck today here. The Billobong was great.
 
28-Oct-16
Another DNF after a search all around. Needs maintenance or archived. Appears that there was some recent work there installing "info" signs and that may have caused the cache to be AWOL.

28-Feb-16
on a visit out to giru to pick up the geokids. myself and MagickalMumma13 decided to get a couple of caches along the way. was the third find for the day, after having a little look at the croc decided to have a look for the cache as it was starting to get hot. after a little search couldnt find so we retreated to the comfort of an air conditioned car. studied the app a bit more for a better location, after a few minutes decided to give it another crack as we had narrowed it down a bit more. eventualy found it. tftc

29-Jan-16
I found this a few weeks ago with my Aunty but only just got an account to log the find. TFTC.
 
29-Jan-16
Having found just about all the caches in Townsville that aren't disabled or require maintenance as they are probably missing (there are a LOT!) I headed south for a better kind of cache. As I'm always up here for work I haven't had the chance to visit the sanctuary but also I've never noticed the croc as it's just a bit off the road. A look around all the likely spots and then a less likely one where I made the find. Signed the log and took two TBs which are going to Sydney today.

Thanks!

We are over on holidays from Mount Gambier, SA visiting family in Townsville, QLD. Today we adventured of close by to the Billabong Sanctuary. Worth a look, crocs feeds are so cool. Kids enjoyed themselves, the noise they make when they chop down is awesome!! Geoson J got to feed a croc! What an amazing experience. After we had a great look around, we stopped into the shop for a few souvenirs each and ice-cream & then went over to GZ. Quick & easy find but maybe a little more cautious than normal after listening to all the talks. Was reading the logs & was quite amazed that it was only placed here early this year. Thanks heaps for bringing a cache here. TFTC Smile

Out caching today with Geo-son Wolffman05. Arrived at the GZ and Geo-son had the prize in hand quickly.

Log signed. Took and left nothing. The cache container and log were found to be in good condition.

Finding this cache has now given me a total find count of 1438 .

Thanks for the cache hide Daws0ns. Smile

The iconic croc of Townsville - jut wish Old Munta was a bit bigger, say like the Big Banana or Big Pineapple... now that would be impressive. Cool to see I followed Rob today. TFTC!

{*FTF*} at 20:00 with Jackylegs44. After a long day on Maggie we still managed to be first.
Excited as we arrived back in Townsville on the ferry we headed straight for this one.
Was nervous whan we opened the nice hide, someone might have logged it hours ago, but alas the log was clean and the top spot available Big Grin
Have been talking about placing a cache here, now we could log a find instead!
Thanks for the cache
