Hi Newcacher#2,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Unfortunately a string of DNFs here tonight. I checked all the likely spots close to the logged images that could house such a big cache, but nada.

Nope! The long grass seems to be gone. Easy in, out empty

Found the snake but not the prize lol next time

Unfortunately GZ landed us in the middle of a well kept grassed area right in public view. After searching likely area DFN

Had a really good look at night and could not find it

Looked around really well and couldn’t find

??DNF Couldnt locate this one with 2Shadows on our road trip to Cairns

Great hide TFTC

Grey Nomads travelling around Australia - more recently, just Queensland, and of late, Airlie Beach to Ayr & Home Hill. Arrived Home Hill, planted the geo-van and set off for a drive around HH and Ayr with my Garmin showing me the way. Some we found, some we didn't.

A sense of Deja vu - you know, that feeling I've been here before and met this snake and found a cache. Well here we are again, meeting this snake, and finding this cache. Cheers Newcacher and thanks for the cache

TftC love this place

No.4, found it safe and sound and not bitten

Second find!!

Inevitably on a long trip when many geocaches are being found, some get missed. Unfortunately, at the time, this was one of them. So, although out of chronological order, I am logging them today for simplicity. So my apologies for the generic log and the out of date sequence.

Our trip commenced on Friday November 28th and concluded on Tuesday December 22nd. During that time, we visited caches in Maryborough, Childers, Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Sarina, Mackay, Bowen, Townsville and Cairns, with other places in between like Proserpine, Home Hill, Ayr, Ingham to name just a few, with many wonderful single stop caches along the way.

Our party consisted of myself, hatzofff, grannysmith1947, and on occasion, youngoldfella.

Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC, Newcacher#2.

It wasn't till we saw the snake that we remembered the cache we looked for about four years ago was a DNF. So we swung on in for another search. It wasn't quick but this time we found it. Didn't realise at the time this is a new listing.. great to see it replaced. TFTC Newcacher#2.

Found with Dozenmater TFTC

TFTC - found with rainygirl74

Great find - kids were excited to find such a large cache! TFTC

Signed and replaced as found. Many thanks for the cash.

That snake sends a shiver down my spine. The rain didn't seem as bad in the shelter of the trees while I looked for the cache. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC Newcacher#2

Found with Orth 21. Great hide in a high muggle area. Well done.

Found this on the way a late Christmas/New Celebration in Home Hill. (sorry for the late log). I somehow forgot to log it at the time.

Today we drove further North. As we had a lot of miles to do, we didn't stop too often.

Oh, what a big snake. Hope, that I'll never ever meet one of those in the bush.

After a short search, I found what I looked for and luckily no real snake awaited me.

Channelled my inner scrub turkey for this one! Went back and forth a few times until the cache was spotted. First find of our day. TFTC

On the way from Townsville to Airlie Beach, during our holiday in Australia, we also found this cache! Thanks and greetings!

Taureau

Stopped on our Southern road trip to find this cache. So glad we did. WOW what a snake. Easy find T4T$

Lots of muggles around. But nice park.

Found with lwell69: was harder to find than expected, especially as how many dead leaves are around/ TFTC

Hard but well in joyed found with caltoto5 TFTC I liked it

Found by Mary and David at 15:45. Who should we meet here just as we found the cache but another QOGM attendee, echocage1. Like us, she still had her green ribbons flying. Great information about Gubulla Munda, the giant carpet snake, too. Gets a FP. After that, we drove down Klondyke Road to see an old stomping ground of David's - the Lower Burdekin Ski Club at Hutchings Lagoon. Lots of improvements there since the early '70s! Our thanks to Newcacher#2.

Visited our scaly friend this morning and discovered this geocache. Lovely spot to visit but frequented by muggles.

On a little adventure with Pandamus4! Decided to head to Ayr on this fine morning. Little markets on in the nearby park which we will check out soon . Also picked up my first TB which I will take up north next weekend.

TFTC A favourite stop on our travels.

This one took us a lot longer than it should have. Heading back down the coast at the end of our holidays and stopped in Ayr for a quick lunch. I allowed myself 1 cache to find (we were time poor) and chose this one as I had passed the big snake many times in the past without stopping. Very well hidden especially considering the size of the container. TNLN SL TFTC

TB Discovery visit

Thank you for the cache.
If i found the cache there came the muggkes to have a rest

Oh !! I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
a boa constrictor !! [:o]
Oh !! I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
a boa constrictor !! [:o]

Well you know the rest

At least the cache hadn't been eaten

TFTC.

I have been here before
And probably found the previous cache.
But who doesn't love a regurgitated version ??
Especially when it involves a snake

I dropped off "Daddy Long Legs" TB and "GGC" TB here
And rescued "Crush the Turtle" TB

For some reason, when I first saw the name of this geocache, I thought it’d have something to do with the Box Jellyfish... needless to say I got a surprise coming to this GZ. (You say toxins, I say venom cryptic indeed)

Anyways, TFTC My geo-munchkins & I are visiting Ayr from Townsville this lovely Saturday. This is a fave ️ when we have a fave point to give, for location & size of cache. The Gubulla Munda Totem is what won us over!!
Geo-munchkins took SWAG, we left a heap of SWAG. Signed log & dropped a TB. RAF.

Thanks to the CO for bringing us here
