This cache has been archived.

Had a good look, and using the photos from previous finders I was confident I was in the right spot, but no cache

It looks like Cyclone Debbie has removed this cache. It has been disabled until it can be replaced.

Visited here with team cacher zboywonder. What a great spot. I suspect that Debbie came and took away what we came in search of. I note that the CO has since disabled the listing. Thanks for that, but hope that one day we can return and make the find in this rather special corner of the world.
Thanks for the cache placement.

Looked under every rock DNF

Nice find today even in the windy conditions, lovely quiet out of the way town. Tftc

Found it TFTC hot day today and no water at the beach

There are so many big rocks that we could not find the right one. Maby you can make the hint more clear for the less English speaking (foreingh) Dutchies as we are. We speak English but writing and word jokes are n't onderstout. So we mist it probleby.

Great scramble over rocks with Geokid, 30 years old but still a kid. TFTC

This one took me longer than expected to find. Previous logs and photos saved the day
A beautiful area. The container is cracked but the log book is dry and in good condition.
Cheers

Quick find even without coordinates. Day is lovely

Look above the high tide mark..

We are staying in Airlie Beach at present so took the opportunity to drive out toConway Beach for a look.
What a flat beach. The tide is out this afternoon so the water is a long way away. It would be a long walk for a swim!
The photos were essential to locate GZ but even then the cache still took a while to locate. And then after looking widely we found it where we had first started.
Thank you for a good-sized cache.

Found while on holidays. Such a nice day!

TFTC, family day @ the beach blokarting, no wind remembered cache was here

Out and about today exploring places we haven't been too in the 25-30yrs we have been visiting Airlie Beach, didn't know what we had missed out on.

This was the first and only find for the day, busy taking in the scenery. After stopping at the Conway Beach Tourist Park for a sticky beak and some lunch I found out the owner had a nice stash of hot rods (i'm a car guy) so that took some time away from searching.

After finishing with George (hot rod man) we headed for the cache, jnr Geoteen and I went for the search while the other 2 stayed in the car (Geomum and Geoteen), we looked for a while but no luck so I checked the website for pics and more clues, BINGO found it and to think I almost gave up, logged a visit and replaced cache, I have to thank the people that take pics and post them without them it probably would have been a DNF.

Out and about exploring with dabom81.... Neither of us had visited Conway beach before so took the time to make the extra journey and pay a visit. Unfortunately no crocs spotted today That would have been amazing!

However, on arriving at the end of the road we were happily greeted with a large flock of Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo!!! It is not often I have the chance to witness these spectacular, winged beauties, so we took our time getting to GZ. Their blazing red tails are a sight to see.

I managed to drag myself away from watching the birds feast on the local flora and dabom and myself took a short stroll. Hmmm, it's in about here. We spread out and quickly I found the beasty Woohoo! We left our scribble and then replaced the cache as we had found it.

Thanks for the cache The3aRingos

I had a good search amongst the rocks, cache coords out by 10m but the picture sure helped, I found only 1 Tb , and grabbed it to move on. The beach is quite flat and the incoming tide can be see to quickly cover it , thanks for bringing us out here

Hubby's first find! Yay! TfTC. Great hide this one! We took the Geocoin.

Stayed at the beautiful Conway Beach Tourist Park and checked on the cache this morning. All good except for the mosquitos which are in plague proportion on the beach after the recent rain. We've dropped off a travel bug.

Found it. It was worth the wait. Recommend you put on mozzie repellent as they can be savage!!!!

Nice hide, easy one with the geokids. Grabbed geocoin, and left a replacement.

Found thanks to the HINT from the owners. My gps was way way off. i would never have found it without help Thanks again. Took supermanneken trackable and left my trackable TFTC

This is my second look and still no luck. It is hot here so maybe the sun is cooking me.

Found on New Year's Eve geo kid swapped skateboard for mine craft toy. Leaving a TB from the Gold Coast & taking another down south TFTC

Cloudy but nice morning perfect for a short walk along Conway beach to find something valuable. Despite the gps decided to die just as we got to GZ we checked the hint on the phone and could find the treasure easily. Left TB to keep it moving around this region as we headed back to north after the find. TFTC!

TFTC!!

Had no trouble finding the cache. Wind was up today, there were a couple of sand rails on the beach and a wake boarder using a parasail who looked like she was having a great time.

Out: travel bug
In: fresh air + log entry

a bit of time to kill
so I detoured out here for a revisit
and have a look at some of the new caches out here

parked up and did the short stroll along the beach
only to find a group of kids playing on the headland
so I occupied myself by taking some photos until they moved on
then I started having a look
thankfully it didn't take long to find it
partly because it was a bit exposed
signed log, dropped a TB, and restashed with a bit more cover

thanks for the cache and excuse to revisit
no crocodiles today

Nice spot and a cache like a treasure. Lots of cool stuff inside. Forgot my swap so I took nothing. Thanks for this cache

Thanks for the cache. Great spot.

Nice easy find on an almost deserted beach. Such a beautiful area

Took a while but we found it in the end. Thanks to Josh for tagging along. Over cast and got, nearly gave up. Tftc

It took some time nur I was successful. TFTC

Found it. TFTC.

While staying near Proserpine we decided to do some of the local caches and some a little further afield towards Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour.

WOW!! We sure had to hang on to our hats here today....the wind was howling. Just one family on the beach but we were able to make a discreet find and sign easily. Another man arrived and began to set up his 'trike' and parachute/kite to zoom along the beach.

As we boiled the billy for morning tea we thought we would be in for a treat watchng him tackle the gale but he very quickly ended up at the opposite end of the beach where he stayed

According to a couple of locals who joined us briefly under shelter the wind is very common here

Thanks for showing us this area The3aRingos[^]

Found on the return leg of our trip from Townsville to the Gold Coast, while we are staying in Airlie.

A good, fun cache especially since most of them at home are micros:)

Took fishing lure, left keyring.

SL. Thanks for the cache!

P.S. Had to get this one as it has pretty much the same name as our one in Townsville (Croc Rock)

Lovely spot. Great for a day out. Nice picnic area and beach for kids and dogs to run around. Climbing on the rocks was fun. Left some trinkets.

Staying at Conway Beach Tourist Park. Great spot for the family & kids - just like this cache. Geokids had fun searching for it and playing on the beach. TFTGC.

Our first FTF.
Great cache. Plenty of room.
Took geocoin dropped off Opel TB
Beautiful day but very low tide.

I have dropped off the 'Cachiversary 1' trackable geocoin in this cache to continue on its journey.
