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.
Awesome cache - VilleJnr loved it. Left a bracelet and yellow rubber and took a blue ball and black pencil grip . Tftc
In Townsville for the long weekend , spent the day at billabong sanctuary , on the way out , we thought we would see if a cache was nearby , great days tftc !
This was the only caches we stopped foron our way to Townsvlille. The croc certainly grabbed our attention.
Thanks for placing this cache Daws0ns

On our way along the East Coast we came to this cache.
It is a nice and long journey.
The weather is sometimes sunny and hot and sometimes rainy.
Thank you very much for leading us here and hiding the cache.

Took nothing left a superball, jet , pencil gross and a couple of rubbers , the log is a bit damp otherwise all good
Found at 09 46. First for the day. Took a bit to find with long weeds obstructing the view into all the hiding spot. TFTC.
Got a bit itchy but nice find on the way to Giru to collect the geokids with Geore4per tftc
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
just a quick stop
drove past this one a few times
today I had time for a stop
all good here
... although I must admit that it took me awhile to find [:o)]
must have been nervous about that big lizard with teeth keeping an eye on me
thanks for the cache

I found this a few weeks ago with my Aunty but only just got an account to log the find. TFTC.
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!
Thanks!
What a great choice for a cache placement,
It is an interesting place
It is basically muggle free
It had a shady park
and It has aa cache.
We travel this highway quite a bit but it has been nearly twenty months since we left home and are ow on the return journey to North Qld. Don't remember seeing this croc here before really neat. SL T N L 2 x TB TFTC

Brought my nephew geoboy out to find this one. TN left a pathtag and signed the log.
Never been on my knees for such a long time but it looks like it's not there anymore ...
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.
thanx and hot huggies from Hilvarenbeek - Holland!

TFTC took a path tag and left an Australian map pin and some other little goodies. This was in a great spot. I was very excited as this was my first pathtag
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
Out caching with RobS72. After a short search, I found the cache. Cool container. Log signed. Took and left nothing. Thanks for the cache hide Daws0ns.
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 .

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!
Love this one!!

On the trip from cairns back to Melbourne and along the way lets get some caches while we stretch our legs. Tftc
On our way back to Ayr and just had to make a quick stop and grab this one. Easy find by the better half on a well camo-ed container. Signed log and rehid. TFTC
Needed to have a break in driving so pulled up and found this one fairly quickly, great camo, pretty happy I found it in the dark late at night
Hey, a new one since we went north a few weeks ago. Planned a stop for lunch in the van and a drink at the cafe. All good, enjoyed the find of this cache it's well constructed/equipped and well prepared with very accurate coords. Tftc, I've made it a favourite.
First to log. Not ftf. Quick find on the way home to the Burdekin. This was calling out for a cache so thanks for the fun. TNLN TFTC.
On the way past with MattCNS, we stopped and grabbed this one.
Quick find and awesome container. tftc
Quick find and awesome container. tftc
Out on a caching mission with Frullet. We found this one without resorting to a GPS. Nice container. 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
Have been talking about placing a cache here, now we could log a find instead!
Thanks for the cache
