Because the reviewer is in a hurry and cant wait for the renovation to the garden to be completed

New work going on I will replace when the work is finished

Works are being on the path. Believe it may have been removed.

Muddy area with some works going on...

Found what could have been part of the container but the whole area has been recently graded. May have been damaged.

Simple

Knew what I was looking for, but just couldn't see it.

looked for hour but couldn't find

Easy find

Nachdem wir auf unserer zwei Tages Tour leider 3 Caches nicht gefunden haben weil wir nicht genug Zeit zum suchen hatten konnten wir auf dem Rckweg zur Fhre hier nun endlich fndig werden.Thanks for the Cache!

Dont bring a pen so using photo as reference.Found with joshhanley, TFTC

Expanded search area a little bit and found it great place to fill in time waiting for the ferry after our hike yo Lake McKenzie TFTC

2nd times a charm! Found this one in a sneaky spot with, unfortunately, loads of helps from logs and other people

Took a while! Had to read through the logs to get some clues for this one . Thanks for the cache!

good spot took a while to find but found in the end

Unfortunately didnt find after atleast an hour looking around in the Harding next to the sign, even with loads of hints couldent manage to find

Thank you very much my two kids had fun finding your case weve put it back in the garden next to the track. Its still in a log with a hole in it.

TFTC. Easy once I knew the cache camouflage.

Good job

Nice hide. Not at GZ, follow the clue

Wonderful find as a family!

First cache-found! Yay! Took a little while. Path way has changed a bit since photo was taken.

The final day of our Kgari rompWith CaptainVimes & JDavs enjoying a sleep in, Beardman75, LDavs and I set off for the last couple of caches before catching an early barge back towards realityThis morning Im playing the role of incubusThe early hour meant very few muggles about which was good as we flailed about for a few moments the shifting sands have certainly affected GZA brilliant weekend away, only made possible thanks to some truely remarkable friendsThanks Cruiseforever Dingo count - 4

Someone pointed it out and Davinells quickly had it. Thanks for the cache Cruiseforever

It's an easy, find. Would recommend being extremely aware of Muggles and bring a little poking stick.

p eventyr med Smeden01 og muglerkonen All locks are signed as Fyn2.If we not understand the hint, et will become hard to find cace

A quick find on our way to the beach. Quite a tricky one, especially at night. With the ferry mans pen we could finally sign. TFTC!

We rented 4x4 vehicle to see Lake McKenzie and to drive on beach. Due to precize security instruction lecture we had only four hours for the trip, but we managet it in time and we collectled four caches. Thank you for the cache.

Found this on the second attempt after looking at photos from previous logs and also on Friday the thirteenth.

Found on our day trip to K'Gari.No. 243.

Found with no pen. Borrowed one from the nearby coffee place and had a coffee. TFTC a fav given

Sadly we couldn’t find this one.

Searched for ages

We spent a couple of days on K'gari (Fraser Island) visited all the highlights and also did some geocaching ??. This cache at Kingfisher Bay Resort was the last cache on our tour on the island. Nice hide!

Thanks for the cache!

Our number 2 in Australia, again through the valiant efforts of Super Mini PLOMM. We were very happy and incredibly proud. Very nicely done and only recognisable at second glance.

Many thanks to Cruiseforever and many greetings from

PLOMM

TFTC!!! Amazing container! Also a beautiful path to get to the cache! Thanks again!!!!

Having never been to Hervey Bay before, I arrived on 24th July after driving from Yass NSW (just outside of ACT). Here for a couple weeks and couldn’t miss the chance to pick up a couple of caches. It’s a great way to explore an area and go to places I may not have gone.

On Monday 31st July allrounder joined me here for the week. We headed over K,gari on Thursday 3rd August as we did the 4wd tour. We saw this cache was there but due to being on the tour we didn’t have the chance to stop and look for it. Today I ventured back over to the island for the day, while there I made a quick find before enjoying a lovely lunch at the Sand Bar Cafe.

Great camo which doesn’t look out of place. Log and container in good condition.

TFTC

2nd day on Fraser Island today, doing a magnificent 2 day tour of this beautiful island. While waiting for the 4x4 bus to pick us up, we walked down the path for this cache. Nice easy find once in the right place, as coords may have been slightly off.
Tftc, #1672.

After about ten minutes I had expanded my search area to near ten metres when I saw it where the sign was pointing.

TFTC.

AustraliaA country that has fascinated me for a long time. But the distance to get there was just as great as the desire to drive there. So it was dreamed but not implemented.But then our friend nalfion moved again. And this time to Down Under. That gave the go-ahead to plan a little more firmly for the first ideas and fantasies. The bosses were asked about a longer vacation and then we went to the travel agency with our rough ideas.For such a complex thing we wanted to have support. And after a few appointments there, the basic structure was in place.During our summer holidays we went to Sydney via Singapore, where we spent 2 days. 2 days in Sydney city and then we went with a small camper van with the whole family via Katoomba to Cairns. Our friend lives in Adelaide so ended up staying there for a few more days at the hotel before heading back to Germany without any lengthy stops via Melbourne and Singapore.A wonderful holiday that at least brought us a little closer to this huge country and gave us many great memories.We spend a few days in Urangan to make a day trip to K'gari.Such an amazing island with such a beautiful lake.We even saw some Dingos, but only out of our coach.Thanks for the Cache.

Found by Facitman and Mrs Facit at 17:15
Our last night at Kingfisher before heading north to see more of this beautiful island. Once the spectacular sunset had done it's things, it's pretty early at the end of May... 17:06! I snuck off for what ended up being a very quick find, could have taken a while but I got lucky this time!
Thanks Cruiseforever

I like it it blends in so well, so creative!

A week on K'Gari with my two favourite girls - T4mmmy, and my new Pajero Sport named Missi. Both girls had a lot of fun, as did I this week. A few new caches for me since my last visit including this one like this one - my first time visiting the resort here (wow) and we stayed here (beats camping). Coords were a bit out for us - we followed an earlier log indicating nearer to the toilets, and thus spotted it. Very nice. Then back to the beach to witness the beautiful western beach sunsets not so common in QLD.

Thanks Cruiseforever for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #11227}*

Found at Sunset. So tranquil. Thank you

This one blends in so well with the environment! Very well disguised Found with the help of a previous post. It’s more level with the toilets as the coordinates had us looking at the start of the garden bed. Found on the 17th but only logging now TFTC

Easy find thanks

Came here on a school trip and hoped to find it. Came 2x to look for it but was unsuccessful. Had fun though

TFTC FOUND ON OUR FRASER ISLAND HOLIDAY!

Found at Frazer island

We were here - Joodie & Joodax
after work walk, wine and relax!
Cruiseforever Thanks for the cache and yellow dandelion.

Today we move on to Frazer. We dropped off the car yesterday so we can only hunt caches within walking distance . Then the hotel service picks us up and we transfer to the island.
Upon arrival, they greet us with the words: Beautiful day, huh? Because it is persistently raining. Once we've checked in, we go for a short walk and hunt for nearby caches.

This one is a bit surrounded by water, but we give it and look forward to tomorrow's offroad
******************************************************
Dnes se přesouváme na Frazer. Auto jsme včera odevzdali, takže můžeme lovit jen keše v dosahu nedaleké chůze . Pak nás vyzvedává hotelová služba a provádíme přesun na ostrov.
Při přichodu nás vítají slovy : Nádherný den, což? Vytrvale totiž mží. Jakmile jsme se ubytovali, jdeme na krátkou obchůzku a lovíme blízké kešky.

Tahle je trošku obklopena vodou, ale dáváme ji a těšíme se na zítrejší offroad

box condition: completely healthy
LB status: dry and enough space for logging

Missing geocache not sure if I’m just blind or not, or if it is actually gone,don’t know if my phone is broken either but something isn’t right, all I want to know and see where it is and if it’s actually still there, I’m leaving the island now so I don’t think I’m coming back, I’m just really confused!

Cache all good

Founds it!

Fun find

Found safe and sound with the help of the hint and a previous log

I think the area has been refurbished

On a road trip from Adelaide with my muggle mate. We have cycling friends having a joint 60th in Noosa, then we are off to Hervey Bay to see some family and the return home……who knows which route we’ll take, if I place a log for your cache, you’ll have a vague idea of which way we have taken
TFTC

After a few drinks at the sunset bar, set pff to find this one! Lovely spot!

An early start this morning on the barge as we set our for four days and three nights hiking a portion of the Fraser Island Great Walk.

Our route will take us from Kingfisher Bay (and this cache) to Lake McKenzie and then onto Central Station tonight. Tomorrow we will hike from Central Station through Pile Gully and onto Lake Wabby following the old logging tram lines. On Sunday, we will return to Lake McKenzie for the night, before finishing the long weekend with a short hike from Lake McKenzie back to Kingfisher Bay.

Whilst we had a long hike today, we decided there was no time like the present and opted to grab the two Kingfisher resort caches today (as 65k's later we might not be so enthusiastic.) Turned out to be a good plan.

A nice quick find here thanks to the spoiler photo in the CO's maintenance log. An excellent use of some natural camo for the container. Still signs on work going on at den nearby.

Crookedpete, Dez(JezNDez) and I headed north yesterday from Brisbane to Hervey Bay to stay there overnight before catching the ferry across from River Heads this morning to start our 4 day hiking adventure along a stretch of the Fraser Island Great Walk. A perfect sunny day greeted us as we arrived on the island and before setting off on our journey we had time to pick up a cache or two nearby. Crookedpete managed the find here after the well disguised cache resisted the initial search. TFTC

Our geocaching travel pack included log books, ziplock bags, containers and all the other necessary bits & pieces needed to replace this cache for the CO. Thanks Cruiseforever! We had obviously a great time on K'gari but it's ever so much more fun to have caches hidden right where you are staying, well worth keeping it going!
GZ is now on the other side (south) of the path. Like always: no need to leave the path or disturb the vegetation. Extra stealth is recommended during the duration of the renovations at the dingo den. I think they got suspicious of me often lingering awkwardly and rummaging around in that random little spot

Cache all good to go new cache in place

Cache ok to go

Cache has gone due to refurbishment of the dingo den

It has all been renovated so it is gone

Cache is gone. Refurbishment happening at dingo den

47th find on the Thommo Road Trip 2022. TFTC!

Samen met Cor en Leo gevonden.
Let op geen pen aanwezig

TFTC, first day on Fraser Island and this one is right on our doorstep! Didn’t fill in the log as had no pen, but all looks ok in the cache.

Stayed here for 4 nights and collected caches around the island - but still managed to leave this one until the last minute. A quick find on the way to the morning ferry. Thank you

After a big day on the tracks we ventured out for a cheese platter and a few drinks as the sun set on what has been a great day.
A quick search from where we were having our sunset drinks and the cache was quickly found.

Wogari

Thanks I found it but there was no pen with my friends we looked around and then looked at the hint to see it was at the cottage

When’s for a fish, then walked on the beach and looked for it at a old cottage

Random find this morning while heading down to the beach for a walk Flooding rain last night it must have floated out from u der the buildings nearby. Checked cache description and hints and returned it to logical hide spot

While waiting for the barge I found the cache very quick.

Thanks for the cache and many greetings from Germany,

Found it! Got to get low down

????

You cannot live in Maryborough and not be able to say you never visited K'gari (the Aboriginal name of Fraser Island). Met up with Bender 3642 and decided we needed a couple of caches, just to prove we'd been there.
I am getting quite arthritic, so I tend to look for easy caches but this one was elusive. We both looked high and low. At one stage, I was even lying on my belly to search hoping no-one would come by - lets face it I am now old enough to worry onlookers lol
Thanks for the hide anyway Cruiseforever.
cheers greynomads - Diana

Tried for ages, just couldn't find

Dnf but I was rushed to be on the barge to go back home. I’ll find it next time.

Took a bit of time and lots of going down low and reading clues for this one .. tftc

Good clues, good find

Oh my word. Right place and lost confidence . Spent about 20min then found. Go low, go in go up a bit.

Had a long look around with a fellow cacher a few days ago with no luck. Lucky to see dandent yesterday who had found and with another hint was actually right where we first looked on initial search just in a little different angle. Thanks dandent for the extra tip.

Had a look the other day ... nothing
Even with another cacher on site
Had a look this morning ... ?
Then saw karicka made a find in between looks
So I made the call to help pin point the locale
Back for another go
And another pair of caches at gz
But I went straight to the defined location
And shared the prize
Thanks for the cache
And thanks to karicka for the help.

Sprung by a fellow cacher just as we arrived at gz and they laid their hands on the prize first So nice to meet you both and TFTC

A final cache on Fraser Island before catching the barge back to everyday.

Thank you for hiding this geocache Cruiseforever
Find number 23242

TFTC. Two goes to find it but got it just as the ferry was arriving

The East coast was perfect today but over here on the west coast the wind was blowing straight in. Still well worth the visit and so please that this cache was still here. Took a bit of looking but found it tucked up a bit. Thanks for placing this cache

Did not find it, but we only had about 2 min to look. We went through the activity log but couldn’t find anything that helped us. We saw the hints that it was at the corner of the house and down low but we must be blind.

What a wonderful trip spending a week at K'gari. TFTC

After 3 trip's to the island finally found it

Had a quick look but no luck. Reread the activity log and bang, there it was first look. Tftc

TFTC. It is there, get down close to the beach.

Fraser Island and the surrounding beachside locations have been on my bucket list for many years so I jumped at the chance when charmad asked me to join him and Triple Turmoil on a 4WD camping trip on the Anzac Day long weekend. This was an awesome adventure with great weather, lots of laughter with many a joke and story telling, sleeping under the stars, spotting six dingoes and many beautiful birds that I've never seen before. I was amazed at the amount of lakes we visited, all very different but such a pleasure to see them.

Our timing was perfect for searching around here as the pre-set wedding reception wasn't due to start for another hour. Had already looked in the spot as per the hint but didn't see anything then charmad got down much lower and spied the prize.

Found 23 April 2021

A three day camping road trip with Snickersallan, Triple turmoil and myself was organised to see Fraser Island, Rainbow Beach and Double island point. What a fantastic time we had; driving around enjoying the scenery, bush walks, visiting lakes, lunch and dinners on the beach, and a great camp site at Dundubara. The trip was full of laughs and great companionship, thank you.

We knew we were going to be in for a long couple of days, so it was an early start and with a couple of target caches in mind we set off to on the 6.30am barge.

After our trip to Lake McKenzie we drove up to kingfisher bay to grab the two caches here. This one took a little effort to find as it was tucked right up and in a very tight spot. With one of us directing from the other end it was soon grabbed. We were lucky as a wedding party was about to start, would have been interesting trying to retrieve this one at the time of the function. We signed the log and returned the cache as per hint. Thanks for placing this one here.
