We didn’t find, this cache, but fully enjoyed exploring this gorgeous little park. I’ve lived in Townsville for over 15 years and didn’t know that it existed!

I was nearby looking for another treasure so I checked on this one.
The area has been cleared and the cache isn’t where I previously found it.
Edit. Reading the logs I see it was moved a while ago. I had a good scratch around where the GPS was pointing me but couldn't find anything. Could do with a check

Couldn't find it unfortunately

No 100% sure if it’s still there

Went up to the park today and got a big surprise (from a big lizard). No bears that ever there were were here today. Which enabled a fairly frantic search in a wide radius but came up empty handed.

Found it

Super sneaky very fun my first find!! Had us looking for a long time

We went back and took a second look. It’s there and it’s a sneaky hide

Looked everywhere - couldn’t find it

????

We dug around for ages but sadly could not find this cache.

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 82. Townsville second visit Day 2. After a day off yesterday, I decided to have a bigger day today. I started in the city, then went out to the port region and then headed back around the strand to finish along Pallerang road. Back to urban caching is a challenge, and several DNFs today. I was very happy to find those I was able to and I enjoyed a fantastic pie from a convenience store in Belgian Gardens..

Plenty of spots for a cache, lots of signs of turning of the mulch, but I was not able to locate this one today.

Thanks.
Albida

A surprising DNF here, perhaps I am missing what everyone else sees?

I feel like we have been looking for the cache for years and that the area has changed abit since last we were here but the kids grabbed it straight away today. Tftc

Coongoola & Geodog are on an adventure after attending the Townsville Mega event in Qld. We found your cache today 26 April 2022 3:59 pm , while enjoying another day out adding to our tally. TFTC TeamMRG

TheTownsville Mega Event finished but having another week in town to do more caching & sight seeing.
A morning out with the Snakepitters, back out towards the Castle Hill
Only managed 4 caches befor the rain set in. Back today to finish off we planned yesterday.
No children playing here today, which made it easier to search.
Thankyou TeamMRG for placing this cache.

A rainy day in Townsville today, so caching will be doned in between the showers as much as possible and maybe a few Lab caches.


Thanks TeamMRG for the caches.

Day 4 of my Townsville trip for the Mega with SnappyTomCats. After dinner the night was too nice to waste so we decided to venture out into the darkness to find some more spots to investigate. Things look so much different at night.
The cache was easily spotted, stamped & placed back as found.

Day 4 of our Townsville Mega event weekend. After a full day of caching the Strand with hevwalker we had a great meal at a steakhouse across from our Hotel and then headed out into the night to finalise a couple of Ad labs back down on the STand and the Barracks gardens plus knock off a couple of Trads. I'm sure this would have been easier in the daytime...we found the it though, after a brief search by torchlight. TFTC

Replaced cache just in time to Townsville MEGA event. Happy searching.

Nice area for a cache. Didn't even know this park existed. Nice views and very quiet. TFTF

Signed on the back of the log

Easy find. Great view!

I love how caching takes me to places I’d never know existed. Cache was found be one of my geo ferals. I will return to this nice quiet park in the future.

In the early hours of Saturday, the 2nd of November 2019 I got one of those phone calls from your mum that you don’t ever want to get. My brother had attempted suicide and was in the ICU of the Townsville hospital, and he wasn’t expected to survive. By the 3rd of November I was joining his wife and kids, my mum, my dad and my sister around my brother’s bedside. Through the following week I would use my geocaching to explore Townsville, to clear my head and to be just by myself to cry.

My brother had died 3 days ago and so I spent the day ferrying people to the airport as we all started to leave town. I was on a flight tomorrow, so I spent today with my parents. Up early again though so time to duck up and grab this cache and a cup of coffee before going to their place. TFTC.

Found by Mary and David at 11:10. Some very expensive real estate up here! Great views too. A quick one, with nobody else about. Our thanks to TeamMRG.

The mini rats have been away on holidays with the Rats on another fantastic family holiday. We made it all the way to Cape York and along the way we found this cache. Thanks for adding to the thrill of our holiday.
Sorry the log is a standard template style.

The Rats and mini rats have just returned from an amazing 6-week adventure to Cape York. Along the way we had time to stop and grab a big handful of caches, some of our finds were in the remotest parts of Australia. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing your cache, you've all contributed to us having a great holiday. Apologises for the generic log.

We bumped into fieldzy713 at GZ

Cute box. Never knew a playground was here.

I found this cute little cache after coming back when the sun wasn’t as harsh. Made my day to see it.

I did not find today. I will have to come back when the sun isn’t so harsh. But I did find this.

Found it!
Beautiful cache. Nicely done. I can't post a photo without spoiling it completely...

Visiting playgrounds without kids ...
Thanks Mr M for this experience.

What a nice little spot, saw a bower bird in the park in some bushes making its little nest and collect little white and silver things. Nice hide

Oh wow! Love this creative hide! Thanks for making this one fun.. and showing us a great new little park for the geomunchkins and beautiful views to enjoy with a picnic
