I have decided to end this cache as people have removed the items a few times. Also to many people in this area to keep the log there to sign. Which is a shame as it is a lovely place to hide a cache to enjoy the veiws extra.

Sadly after a ripper dinner on the wharf we tried this one. No luck. Appears to be some damage to the back of the statute.
 
23-May-17
DNF
 
05-May-17
Had a good look around, without any luck. As K.B mentioned in her log the storm that she had at the time could have taken the cache.
There have been all DNFs since here visit.

Thanks

We were hoping to go to The Jetty for dinner but it was closed for a private function. Had a good look for this cache while we were there. Read the hint and recent logs, and had a good look at the specified spot, but found nothing. Add us to the DNF list. Our thanks anyway to _Gypsy_.

For some time now there has been a challenge cache near home that required 10+ finds in all states of
Australia so we have slowly been doing that. A few months ago with only NT & WA left to go we setup a
trip to do a flying weeks visit to each state to complete the challenge. We also setup an event while
in Darwin and had a great meet up.
So myself, Fleabag- & GT02 set about solving some puzzles and working out a plan to complete the
challenge along with doing some tourist activities while travelling. Now back home and the challenge
is complete. Just need to go and collect it.

All three of us had a good search here but found nothing.

Thanks _Gypsy_ for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
 
20-Apr-17
GT02, Spiffy- and I are on a multi state 5 day roadtrip to collect a trad, multi and puzzle in N.T. and W.A. No luck today and given it is an easy difficulty it may be gone. Thanks to for placing this cache.

Looked around for quite a while but couldnt find it. The breeze was nice and the night was cool.

Headed out for some more Darwin "fun" this afternoon. Horrendous weather became cyclone watch weather.....miserable caching for me. I persisted for a few hours until I could stand it no more. Thanks for the hide. I sat in my car here for half an hour during the worst of the day....I have a photo of the cache. If it survives the day, it'll be a great place to visit again.
 
10-Apr-17
I think it has gone.

Hi Patrol someone found it the other day, I also went there last night and its still there did you look on the ground near the black tube thing

We are cruising from Singapore to Brisbane on Pacific Dawn, and today it is Darwin's turn to host us.

This was a quick find on the way back from Stokes Hill Wharf while wandering around the waterfront area. Log sheet is quite damp but I guess that's pretty normal at this time of year. Thanks for the cache Gypsy.

Thank you Gypsy for making sure we noticed this beautiful statue by placing a cache here. Found the cache but it took a lot of trying to get it open as it was misthreaded and jammed. I managed to finally get it open by placing some cloth tape on the container which makes it easier to get a grip on it. I sat and admired the view here for a while in the shade and really enjoyed the location. Cheers and happy caching Big Grin
