Hi Blain-Fam,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache 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. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 30 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Sorry, a big DNF from our group of five today, despite one having been here before.

Day 9 of our northern adventures with RoddyC, Snickersallan, GrannySmith 1947 & YOF caching on our way north of Mackay travelling to Bowen.

No luck today.

TFTC Blain-Fam

Day nine of my road trip heading to Townsville with geo friends, grannysmith1947, hatzofff, RoddyC and youngoldfella.
No luck today especially since we had a previous finder with us.
Thanks for the hide Blain-Fam

DNF December 5, 2020

DNF out and about with Hatzoff RoddyC Snickersallan and miss Millie geo dog




Thank you, Blain-Fam, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Awesome find

I am not in a happy mood today so I decided caching might help me. I spent a good 10 mins looking for that cache. Even more frustrated that someone had found it yesterday. Just as I was about to give up, heavy-hearted, I turned around and there it was. Thank you for brightening my day by giving me something to do to pass the time.

Yay, second cache attempt became a success.

Closest park I could get was 200 meters from GZ. Walked down yo the board walk then along the beach. Low tide. Ducked under at 1.5 meters yo go and sat on a rock and unbelievably there was the eclipse tin. Log is a bit ragged but usable. Appended my YOF. TFTC

Amazing little spot
Nice and quick this one

Midday is a good time to find caches in Airlie Beach
Only mad dogs, Englishmen, and back packers go out in it
With back packers being in short supply at the mo' !!
There was no one to disturb me troll eviction duties

An easy find out of sight of the beady eye of the nearby sentinel [^]

TFTC quick find

High tide could be problematic

Hope the tide doesn't get too high.

Amazing little beach. So beautiful

Quick find

Very tricky, log was damp replaced zip bag should be good now. Tyfc.

My first find of the day on a lovely walk round Airlie Beach. Log is a bit damp.

Took some scrambling but finally nabbed it ...great spot TFTC

Yay! 15 mins and we found it with fingers intact! TFTC

Heya, great cache, thanks so much! We noticed the paper is shredded and almost out of space, unfortunately we didn’t bring any spare so couldn’t add any.

Tftc, council muggle was spraying the boardwalk with smelly stuff. Waited him out then pretended we were trolls

Nice find!!

Found it with my daughter. The tin was empty (except for the log) and she wanted to leave “a bit of the sea inside for the next person to find” so enjoy it whoever you are.

Great hife and location. Nicely tucked away. Thanks and fav point.

We came across a group of trolls on the plains. They had been robbed and I can take a guess at who did it. Troll teeth are made of diamond. It’s a gutsy criminal to go after the tooth of a troll which would be more than capable of removing the arms of the assailant. The chase continues.

We arrived in Airlie Beach around lunch time and decided to see a bit of the place while finding some caches. We headed down to the beach and began to poke around while people walked past overhead. Had it pretty soon. Thanks for the cache

Proserpine - Bowen
An early morning start to to Airlie Beach to cache before moving to Bowen.
The seascape along the coast is really amazing, the water was a brilliant blue. I can understand why people like to have their holidays here. We enjoyed our walk along the boardwalk & then our drive along the coast finding caches.
Thanks for placing this amazing series Blain-Fam

Our second day in Proserpine at the RV Free camp, with today being a visit to airlie beach. Not used to the hot weather yet today being 30C. Nice walking along the walkways and beautiful scenery towards the witsunday islands.

Took a walk down the boardwalk at night. Came to the GZ but on the wrong level so hopped over and after a short search we made the find. Signed log and dropped TB. Tftc

Found with Dozenmater TFTC

TFTC - found with rainygirl74

Some muggles around but nice location. Tftc

TFTC! Knew exactly where it would be, but still battled to find it! When my eyes finally saw it I felt so stupid! Lovely location!

Kids loved it!

Better to go at low tide

easy find. was a couple metres off where it said

Found it! However someone has gotten hold of it and thrown the log everywhere! We located the tin and placed log back in! Does require maintenance though.

Maintenance required.
Found cache all over the rocks. Needs new log.
We have found all bits and pieces and placed back to where we think it should be

Monique and Jamie found it !!

Easy enough to find with a bit of know how. Enjoying the Whitsundays coast, Cheers

Log was wet because the Ziploc bag was torn, luckily had one with me so replaced it

Found it !!

It was a lovely walk at low tide. The log was wet but still able to write on.

The Brork life, Tommo and Brenza strike again! 2/2 so far for the day. Just a couple of local larrikins having a fun Sunday afternoon.

Happy Easter!

On a work stopover at Airlie beach, we used the excuse to get some after work exercise to find some caches (or was it do some caches to get some exercise) in this lovely part of Australia. Absolutely lovely walk along the ocean front to find this tricky to obtain cache due to not only its location but the muggle exercise junky muggles.
After locating where the cache was a quickly well timed retrieve was had. Thanks for making an after work exercise opportunity so enjoyable. TFTC

No trolls here. But we did cache maintenance as ESCO and BenM70 had the same container in the car. Lucky. Great trip from Townsville.

Out and about caching with BenM70 and greencordial. With time to kill before dinner we thought we would clean up a few of the local caches. I knew what we were looking for here and we soon had the cache in hand. Container maintenance performed (because what serious cacher doesn’t have a spare... even if full of original contents, just lying around) and returned to its original GZ. Beautiful scenery, awesome beaches, great caches!! what more could one want? TFTC Blain-Fam

Lid is missing and all wet. TFTC

LOG: 17:45
Das kleine Döschen konnte ich rasch enttarnen und mich ungestört in das Logbuch eintragen. Tolle Location die zum Verweilen einlädt. TFTC!

Thank you

TFTC! Under the lovers lock

Another one that deceived us the year before a DNF...not so this year!!! TFTC

Out and about with Mornington and enjoying the weather and the Airlie beach atmosphere.

Under the boardwalk, we'll be havin' some fun,
Geocaching freely under the sun.
Under the board walk and so well hid,
But now, alas, it needs a lid.

TFTC

Out caching with my GC mate, Bermuda Gold, in lovely Airlie Beach - enjoying the beautiful coastline. TFTC!

Thanks for the cache needs new container no lid.

Good work hi tide

Coming to the end of of cruise from Singapore, nibletricecakes and I decided to wander this port stop and collect as many caches as we could. Lovely walk back to the ship ?? TFTC.

A very cool walk and a NFF. TFTC

In port today with the Carnival Splendor, on it’s maiden voyage from Singapore to Sydney. Rather than take a tour K8TYBEE and I decided to tackle the local caches along the beach, bay and creek. Both coming down with tonsilitis, it was a long and hot walk, but we were rewarded with magnificent views and a real sense of the town. Thanks to everyone who planted and maintains these caches so we can have a fun day out like this!!

Took the hard way and have replaced it so that the other strategy is an option

Cache has lost its lid. Log still dry for now. T4T$

Looked on Sunday, yesterday and today, but couldn’t find it.

Took a little searching,no lid on cache

Cool cache. Lovely location. Hi from NZ. TFTC

We were off to a rocky start but we found it in the end. Will (6) Harry (6) Holly (5) and Austin (3)

Great little spot - easy find - fun one - thanks

TFTC greetings from Switzerland

Second find on my honeymoon

Found on my honeymoon. TFTC.

While staying in Bowen we opted for a drive to beautiful Airlie Beach and enjoyed a great day caching in this tropical paradise

There is a ramp onto the beach only a few metres away so can be a reasonably easy find.

Many thanks for the hide Blain-Fam

Looked in the right place and nice views

Found at 10.11 pm.

Found. Bit tricky

Continuing on my solo afternoon adventure I soon found myself wandering down the boardwalk. I took some time to read about the spring and the funky replica hand pump close to GZ and then once the muggles had passed I went to hunt for trolls. They must have been off catching fish as I didn't bump into one! I did find a cache though

Thanks for the cache Blain-Fam

No trolls here hehehe

This was just 100m from our hotel room so an obvious first cache for our Whitsundays holiday. Spotted it easily enough (gps was spot on) but took a bit of effort to get to it and sign the log!
Thanks for the cache

Found it with the Troll clue. Introducing my granddaughter to GC. Tftc

Thanks

I found this one a little bit away from where my phone and my gps indicated. God spot for a cache.

Found it walking along the boardwalk with flojo40, visiting Airlie Beach on holiday. Could not reach it.

Could see the cache in its hiding spot but we couldn’t reach it to sign! Beautiful walk with VB1993!

Found with Red Tag

Found with my old caching buddy March Brown before we head off to the Whitsundays for a few days.

Beautiful view.

Cache had been muggled. A temporary cache has been installed until a new watertight container is arranged.
