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 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Checked on this one while having my lunch at the lookout. Even as I have found it twice before I could not find it today.

Sadly no find. Rocks too slippery for these nomads. If you had to venture far. Hot to 2m but no joy.
Looked around the old and newer coordinates but nothing other than a blue troll. Perhaps that was a cache trinket? Job sign of a cache though. CO should check.
Found on our 2018 mega trip with Roostaman.
Thanks for the cache JTRDM, cheers from the Riverina, NSW,

**# 21840** Found on our 2018 mega trip from NSW to QLD, the Outback and beyond. 
Another warm Winter day for a trip around while staying at Isa for a few days.
Not many muggles again today and a few good quick finds.
Found it a fair way from my GZ and kept the coords for others to see also.

A truely interesting view from the top. Over this trip I've been used to them being of large rocks or canyons, but that MIM setup is massive.
Coords are well out, as previously noted use S20 43.419 E139 29.891. Not sure whether this will be corrected as the CO hasn't been around for a while.

Continuing our trip through Outback Queensland, grabbing caches along the way. TFTC. 
Met up with GeoCheryl and made a joint find, using corrected coords from other logs.

Omg after 2 DNFs I went back armed with friends and wouldn't you know it fresh eyes saved the day. Thanks for the cache!
While in Mount Isa we were picking up a few more caches in the area and this was one of them.
An easy find at GZ after reading previous logs. Dropped off TB.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Thank goodness I read the logs before going for this one. Skipairs coords were spot on and we found the cache no worries. Great views from here thanks for highlighting the area
Zwar gefunden, aber die Dose ist weg, schade, es ist ein so schöner Ort

On our first full day in Mt Isa we decided it was time to find a few caches. Gently warm with a nice breeze to disperse the flies.
We got to this one later in the day, but it had some great views of the mine and works area. You certainly need to be somewhere like here to get an idea of the true scope of it.
Our nephew tells us there are around 1,000km of roads and tunnels underneath us going down to around 2,000 metres underground. That is mind boggling.
The search here was not going well until we read the previous logs which gave us a few clues and put us somewhere near the right place.
It was Mrs SKI who spotted the cover that held the cache behind.
We found it at the following coordinates which have been averaged.
S: 20 43.419
E: 139 29.891
Thank you for the cache and bringing us up to see the views.

Headed into Mt Isa this morning to do some necessary shopping, as well as picking up some caches while we were there. We just did a selection and each cache found had our name added to its log before we moved on.
The co-ords for this cache certainly need tweaking as they are quite off the mark. Reading the description put an idea in mind and following this up meant the cache was found.
Thanks go to JTRDM for placing this cache to be found in the Mt Isa area.

Lots of muggles on a Saturday morning so i uad to wait a bit before searching. Even with the help of the hint and previous log (FTF) I couldnt find it. I must've picked up 30 rocks but obviously not the right one! Very frustrating because i probably wont get the chance to attempt this one again. Too good for me.
{*FTF*}
A quick dash out for a new cache! woo-hoo!
Excited to have a new hider in the Isa, and at this iconic location too
Know the lookout well and was surprised to have my zero on the pavement, as per the picture.
Everything in the description made me look further away, after a few circles I found the cache about 20 meters closer to the mine stacks than the GZ I had, also this matched the website when I checked later. The picture might help future finders.
Thanks for the cache
