Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the geocache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

An easy find but disappointed with the cache upkeep.
Unfortunately the container is rusty and has no lid for protection. The log is in poor condition and the interior of the container seems to have some form of insect nest in it.
Will try and replace the container before I head back to Brisbane. Doing my bit as a fellow cacher
Signed my name, collected another smile and returned as found

Almost a drive by but we had to back out.
Another day in Mackay so out we went caching once again with Temingi.
We focussed on a range of puzzles we had pre-solved generally heading out west. It was a great day with a slight breeze with plenty of laughs and fun along the way. We made good use of a reasonable recently acquired TOTT and encountered a variety of hides. Even a couple of regulars which seem to be rare in the area.
Thank you to all the local COs for developing and maintaining the caches.

Driven past this one quite a few times. Always on the wrong side of the road when we remember. Today we were on the right side so pulled up. Great find. Only downside is it is full of ants.
On Our TL21 Caching Adventure Tour we headed out early to start our expedition. So close to the mill which is the industry we work for also north. TFTC
Not a very successful caching day today, we found 7 and DNF'd 3. [:(!]
It seems that we can find most small and micros, but the regular ones seem to be quite elusive.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache pretty close to where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in poor shape. Ants have turned the container and log paper into a nest.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

I have driven past this mill for over 5 years and would never had thought there was something hiding off the road. Found this cache whilst on a ride. Heaps of traffic about. No pen today. TFTC.
Our first full day in Mackay. This is our first time here geocaching so it was great to be able to grab any cache as we passed them. Came accross several great hides and have given out many fav points. Wel done Mackay for great cache hides.

Nice easy one again. Log is not in good shape but managed to put pen to paper whilst keeping incognito undercover. SL. TNLN. TFTC.
Find # 700 for us. T4T $ Lid is no longer attached to the container, but not a problem as yet. Could use a new log book. Cheers.
Too many sticky pegs
Took so much time removing them longer than finding the cache

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 modro1 for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

From Eungella to here this was the first cache that we could stop at more or less safely - we were towing large vans however.
A quick run across the road and with very good co-ords the cache was found and logged.
Thanks modro1.

I can't even guess how many times I have driven past this one since it was listed 
but as I was out this afternoon looking at a couple of other caches,
I thought no time like the present
...
pulled up and wandered over
the mill is pretty much in full swing at the moment
quick find, signed and replaced as found
thanks for the cache modro1
now I can stop thinking ... "one day I'll stop", every time I go past

On the way from Eungella Nationalpark to Rockhampton we made some stops to search for some geocaches. This was one of them we found.
Thanks for the cache and many greetings from Germany!

I had always planned to put in a series of Mill View caches but we moved away instead. Great to see someone else had the same idea. Easy find just replacing it was harder.

We have been along this road many times on our trips up and down the highway and never considered that this was a tunnel. Now that we have stopped and walked thru it became obvious. SL TFTC
Been on this highway so many times and never knew there was a tunnel here, funny how caching shows you different things. Stopped today and walked through it and found the cache. Thanks modro1
out doing some hunting and came across this one so stopped and had quick look found it in no time and signed and returned the cache to the same spot

After yesterday's stinking hot day we had a nice breezy overcast day today perfect for some geocaching. We wandered out to the Mill, parked up the car a wee way past GZ and wandered through the tunnel. Geo-teen waited until there was a break in the traffic (lucky it was a public holiday, traffic was quite light) and headed for GZ. Gotcha! Was difficult to extract the log from the cache but we got there eventually and we enjoyed our scenery. TFTC! SL. TNLN.
FTF # 30

Went out looking for a game piece from another game and decided to go for the FTF.
Pulled and a short walk later have the GC in hand.
Took longer to retrieve the log than it did to find it.
It can be very busy here during the day so stealth in a must.
