The area the cache was placed in has been extensively landscaped, there is now nowhere to put a cache of this size.
It seems this has gone missing - again, sigh. I'll have a check and see if I can find a better hide close by.
No luck, too many possible hiding places for me to check them all in the time I had, maybe another time.
Visiting Rockhampton as part of our eastern Australia road trip and decided to come and collect this cache.A nice quick find and we liked the retrieval.
Found by Mary and David at 17:20. Our last find for the day, and a good one too. Sorry to leave Rockhampton in the morning. We've enjoyed stopping here, dining, water views, and many great caches. Had noticed this statue and wanted to know more, and now we do. Our thanks to bertoady.
Found while visiting Rocky for a few days away. Nice walk along the river. Great spot for a cache. Easily found with GC App.

Bummer. The GZ area has red plastic webbing around it and paving happening. I am not sure if the cache is still accessible but I decided not to worry about it.
I redeemed my DNF here from a few weeks ago. This was too easy, as the container was sitting out in the open only slightly hidden. I signed the log and hid it better than when I found it.
After initially getting my fist jammed in ten drill hole yesterday, I logged the replacement little round sistema in a slightly different location this morning. Nice looking theatre. Thanks.
No luck for us at what looks like a tricky cache given all the dnfs. We looked for a while but no luck even when widening search area
I took two cracks at finding this one today. I was hoping to join the group of easy finders, but alas I have to DNF this one.
This seems to attract a lot “easy” and DNFs. Based on logs and attributes I think I know what I’m looking sure... but not sure. I suspect it’s an interesting hide.
This was our first go so we are not sure what we are really looking for. Will try a different one. Has been fun though.

Alles dicht in Rockhampton vanwege 1e kerstdag. Dus we gaan op pad met Castor & Pollux voor caches. Deze lag vlakbij het hotel. Het was even zoeken maar Castor &Pollux zag iets verdachts en ja hoor gevonden
I'm going to log a DNF for this one. We had two goes at finding it, both in evening and during the day with no luck. Not saying it's not there, just saying we couldn't find it...
Hi there bertoady.
We found your cache **"Meeting Place"** at 10:22:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 20384).
We started the day off by nominating a cache in Rockhampton, and then following a "next closest" route as determined by the GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.
We found 5 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Strolling along the river bought us to this statue and the cache. It was quickly spotted and signed. Tftc
Performing at the pilbeam theatre tonight so quickly ventured out to find the Cache! TFTC!

A couple of days in Rocky & out to Yepoon
Today we toured the local area, following the geocache trail. Found a good variety of locations & caches.
A interesting place to have a cache.

Hope to have this one back in soon. Just field testing a different kind of adhesive to make sure it is OK to use in this one.
Just to clarify, I mean three separate caches were muggled this week, not this one thrice.
I was nearby for an event tonight, decided tp check on this one and found it missing in action. So this is the third muggling in a week!

In Rockhampton for an overnight stop on our way up to Townsville. We hadn't had much luck with other caches in the area but luckily found this one. Such an interesting spot too.
thanks
Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Stilling grinning from the container and hiding place, would've missed it if not for Dad. TFTC
What an awesome hiding spot!!! Would have gone past it if it wasn't for my husband!!! TFTC
Quick cache check. New log book dropped off. All ready to be found and signed again.
Was in Rocky for in-law business, but this morning it is MY business. Was walking past, sort of, so took the chance for another look here. I failed last time to notice this exact spot. But this time, I must have glanced the right way on approach because it was immediately found. Gotta love that. The container though - in perfect condition itself - it was missing something important ... no logbook No paper of any sort.
And naturally, the one time I go out caching without spares. I hunted around (man this is the cleanest corner of Rocky isn't it?) for paper, and found what appears to be a traffic infringement notice (without identifying details). It now has Pprime` written on it. You may want to put in real paper
Thanks for placing this cache, bertoady. Found in good condition.
