This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Looked high and low for a while, kicked over lots of rocks, got in the well and tunnel. Couldn't find it... ah well great stop nearly hit the the caravan on the bunker and tree turning around.

Scrounged around, down the well. Around the rocks.

Good search no luck

Did not come for the cache, the WW2 signs attracted me. Given the previous non finders post I did not look all that hard.

Had a really good search over 2 days and still was unable to come up with the cache. Will keep an eye on the listing and have another search if it is found again before I am up this way again.

3rd one done and dusted!

Took a minute but found it eventually.

Day 21 and the start of our return road trip home from Townsville to the Gold Coast with hatzofff, grannysmith1947 and RoddyC.

Another beautiful spot to visit with wonderful views and finding a cache is even better, thanks CO.

Have a favourite point.
Thanks for placing these.

Nice view, tyfc

Super interesting we really enjoyed this location. Fav point and thanks

There are some streets around Treacle Mine Road you walk down where you can see the remnants of the barricades. The 25th May is a day I will remember for the rest of my life. I still wake up at days remembering.

Found while out sightseeing. TFTC

I was expecting to find a plaque on a rock up here but this was fantastic. I’ll have to research the site to learn more about it. Thanks for the cache

Returning from a road trip to Brissie. Last stop before home. Used to have a smiley here, years ago, so had to tick this one off.
TFTC

Awesome. TFTC

On a quick trip down the coast for a rugby game I thought I's pick of a few caches on the way. Knew this area well as there used to be another cache here. The historical side of the location is very interesting.

Our second visit to this site. Found a cache here 8years ago. Cache in good condition after burn off recently. T4T$

A new cache up this way,
meant another reason to visit this historical place
A wander around,
and the cache was found [^]

No bogies on the radar today

And don't worry about the fire that took out the vegetation a couple of days ago.
The hill was still smokin',
but the cache is fine

Took trackable, got no net atm but will log it when I do. TFTC

Thanks for the quick find .... Beautiful part of Queensland

Exploring the area we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

A great place to visit, a lot of history! Cache and contents were in good condition. Left TB, and adding to our favourites.

Thanks Newcacher#2 for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Interesting ww11 site tftc:)

A quick find. Nice area, the views are fantastic! TFTC!

These are really well preserved bunkers. Good view of the canefields from here. The cache was found quickly and easily.

Quick find with Secret Squirrel BJC. Thanks for bringing me back here.

Found with HDSpringer
Beautiful day and views
Great history place

Interesting area with WW 2 bunkers and lovely view of the cane fields. Saw a big goanna but he was prepared to get his photo taken. found BFE style took nothing left SWAG TFTC

Took longer than expected to be able to free the cache from its hiding place thanks to the resident guardian. TFTC that led me to this historic site

Interesting place. But beware ants. Thanks for the cache

Rainy day but not enough to stop me caching. Lovely little spot of history. Only a small sedan but no issues getting up. Tftc

This took way too long to find. Well done. TFTC

Have just realised that we failed to log this as "found" weeks ago on our trip to bowen from townsville. Did sign the logsheet after much searching in what I thought was the obvious location, foxico27 found it in its current location. Log sheet signed, cheers ftc and an awsome little spot

NEF and a fav point for bringing me to such an historical place, with absolutely gorgeous views to boot. The bunkers remind me of a place near home. TFTC

It atarted raining a bit and it was a bit damp inside so the pencil led came out. It was a very nice place to explore with lots of ants but we still found it.

Really happy to discover this place. TFTC.

No cane fires but a great veiw and had fun crawling through underground bunker looking.

Haved favourited this one on road trip with my cache kid and GF from Airlie Beach to Cairns.

Was a fun find highly recommend for other geocaches

Found with caltoto5 TFTC

This was 20th find and i definitely earned it. I thought this was ontop of Inkerman so i walked to the top before turning on the app . Thanx 4DÇ great spot!

Losing the light far too quickly but retrieved it before it got dark. TFTC

Great spot! Found with jmarnes Tftc!

TFTC. I have been here a few times before but this is the first time that I noticed there is an undergeound bunker.

Was a bit pressed for time and could not locate. Great spot though!!

Good spot with plenty of hidey holes, and had we had more time, we would have kept looking

Amazing little place, this is what cachings all about. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Nice easy find. Pretty sure we have found a previous cache up here.

Cheers

It was great to visit again with the new cache especially as it was missing when we came 12 months ago. Our 5 year old granddaughter was thrilled to be the one to find it. We also dropped off our Trackable from Switzerland. TFTC. Love this spot.

Beautiful view. Easy find with new gps. TFTC

Found this one after realising it was a replacement fort he original one that I found 2 years ago. Co-ordinates are spot-on. It was definitely worth a second look up here - the views are pretty good, and it was good to see the old WW2 bunkers again. Cheers from Bindair Dundat.

Tftc. Easy find.

Found it and admired the view. Dropped off TB

On a road trip from Mackay to Charters Towers then on to Townsville and return to Mackay.

Sorry to all the CO's for the cut and paste logs.
Thank you all for placing and maintaing theses caches.
49 caches, 3 days and over 1000km's.

On my way home and stopped by to find a treasure, and this is exactly what I found, This is what the game is about, getting us to slow down and take the detours and find hidden gems. Thanks Newcacher#2 for the detour and bringing me to this historical site, it was good to learn a little about our backyard.

Very gratful to be brought here. Would love to learn more about the history of this place. Facinated by the left over war historical buildings. Lived here my whole life and have driven past here numerous times not knowing what just lay off the highway. TFTC.

Found the first now found the second. Easy find. TFTC

I had driven past the turn-off on the highway a thousand times and always thought I should go and have a look at the site. Wow, what an amazing historical site. Thanks for leading me here.

0907hrs. Having found the original it was the day to grab this one before I left the area after another cane season. Looks like rain on the coast. TFTC. Log signed.

Having found the original cache here it was familiar territory.
A short stop before wegot back in the car.
Thanks for the cache Newcacher#2

After spending an hour and a half looking for the original Charlie's Lookout (dodging bees and all!), it was very satisfying to find this one. TFTC

Such an unexpected find and this is why geocaching is amazing - finding the hidden history. Hank you for bring me here today with the lure of a smile.

Thankfully we didn't have to search the area where the meat ants were because they were keen for a feed once leaving that area the cache was quickly found as we noticed the container before we even reached it. We weren't the first to sign the log book but picked up the wonderful trinket from Bowen as it was making it hard to conceal the cache completely. Thank you for the cache.
