I am on a very enjoyable holiday up in Townsville visiting the area and catching up with family. Tagged along with alphag_25 on some geocache adventures and have been able to complete many new geocaches. Lots of new places are being explored and heaps of amazing artwork. It certainly is a lot hotter in Townsville than Mackay! The Tanks Adlab series, Wherigos and other Adlabs are on our list to complete on our journey up here and also hope to pick up some of the remaining river caches that we could not find last time. We managed to go out in the boat with a sighting of one crocodile! Boat desperately needs a clean when alphag_25 and I get home! Thanks Townsville for our time spent here and the puzzle creators their intersting and challenging puzzles.

Visiting Townsville and this waterfall really feels like Queensland. There was a small huntsman cache guardian but he wasnt very good at his job
 
07-Oct-23
Maybe not the best idea to go snoopong around in the bushes at night in Queensland, but luckily this time all I found was the cache container. Thank you very much!

Apologies for the late log here (06.01.24) but I've had a busy time since getting back to the UK.Another early morning start, thanks to finding a quiet spot to sleep 'in the area' and I decided to give Townsville one more morning of my time before continuing south. And happily I made a fast find here, up close and personal with some undergrowth. Nice. Thanks for a fun quickie at a cool spot. TNLN-TFTC!SP (UK) on an epic trek right around the world.

Early morning grab before trip north TFTC
 
20-Jul-23
On the way back to the marina after dinner along the Strand, we approached the waterfall disappointed that it must get turned off at night. We did see it during the day (not realising there was a cache here at that point) so could see it was impressive.
We followed the directions diving into the ferns & J soon came up with the remains of the chook. Clever cache design & story - certainly keeping us entertained...
A microbat buzzed past as we were signing the log. Cool!

Grabbed the details for the EC at the waterfall and headed here for the spare. Nothing at hinted area but checked the floor and spotted the prize. Signed in, then wedged in as per hint.

After a couple of days of allowing my foot to deflate and repair after my Sunday 'big walk' I was keen to get some caching in as and when possible. A run out to purchase some oils and lubes, enabled a following trip to the Strand to make a start there. Just a couple of caches, but good to keep my QLD caches increasing nicely. Thanks all COs.
 
05-Jul-23
Cool spot, you only notice the waterfall once you are right in front of it. Would not have walked here if it was not for the cache. Thanks

TFTC - Returning from visiting Magnetic island for a quick holiday and exploring the area with HeliKelli. Located the cache, although the cock is now headless
 
18-Jun-23
Lol, what an idea for a cache!
The poor little cock, are you sure you saw him with only wet hair? I’m sad to report that he didn’t survive the fall and he lost his head when running off.
Favourite point for location and cache idea.

We are on our long-awaited journey around the world in 99 days. Second try after canceling in 2020.
Our fourth stop after Los Angeles, Hawaii and New Zealand is Australia.

This time was of course used to find some geocaches here.
Today we were searching for the Traditional **Cock & Falls**

Thank to the Hint and the good coordinates the little box was found quickly!
After signing the logbook there is a new smile on our geocaching map!

At least we would like to take this opportunity to thank burgo78 for creating and maintaining this Traditional.

Greetings from Nuermberg/Germany

Je profite de mon voyage a travers le monde et de mon temps libre pour faire du Geocaching.

En mode road trip, je sillonne quantité de beaux pays pour découvrir où re-découvrir pleins d'endroits. Des paysages à couper le souffle, de l'histoire, de l'architecture,  de la gastronomie.

Les jours se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas.

Je fais la connaissance de gens vraiment accueillants et sympathiques.

Si je pouvais avoir autant de found-it que de kilomètre au compteur, je serais vraiment ravi.

Je cherche et je trouve toutes sortes de caches sur le chemin de mes pérégrinations.

De toutes les tailles,  de toutes le cotations  et de différents types. Avec des succès,  de la réflexion, des difficultés.  Tout ce qui fait que le GC est vraiment une activité à part. Et qui pour ma part occupe une place importante dans ma vie.

Merci à tous les owners pour leur recherches, le travail qu'ils effectuent, les maintenances.


English version


I take my journey through the wolrd and of my free time to geocaching.

In road trip fashion, I travel many beautiful country to discover where rediscover full of places.  Landscapes breathtaking, history, architecture, gastronomy.

The days are not alike.

I meet really welcoming and friendly people.

If I could have as many found-it that kilometer counter, I would be really delighted.

I seek and I find all kinds of caches on the way to my wanderings.

Of all sizes, of all the quotes and types.  With success, reflection, difficulties.  Anything that makes the GC is really a separate activity.  And that for me is an important part in my life.

Thank you to all the owners for their research, the work they do, maintenance



Spanish version


Aprovecho mi viaje por mundo y mi tiempo libre para hacer Geocaching.

En el modo de viaje por carretera, viajo a través de muchos países hermosos para descubrir dónde redescubrir muchos lugares.  Impresionantes paisajes, historia, arquitectura, gastronomía.

Los días se suceden y no son iguales.

Conozco gente muy acogedora y amable.

Si pudiera tener tantos kilómetros encontrados como kilómetros en el reloj, sería muy feliz.

Busco y encuentro todo tipo de alijos en el camino de mis peregrinaciones.

De todos los tamaños, de todas las clasificaciones y de diferentes tipos.  Con aciertos, reflexión, dificultades.  Todo lo que hace del GC verdaderamente una actividad aparte.  Y que por mi parte ocupa un lugar importante en mi vida.

Gracias a todos los propietarios por su investigación, el trabajo que hacen, los mantenimientos.

A few cobwebs but a great find!
 
25-Feb-23
TFTC. After seeing this one had been replaced I decided to head down and find it before it had a chance to go missing again. I have to admit I was a little hesitant to find this cache after reading Hosan’s Mills and Boon style account of finding this cache. But in the end I gave it a go. I snuck into the garden, I reached into that hole and I came up with the goods. After signing the log sheet I placed in back into the hole for the next cacher to find. Yes the size was smaller than hoped for but I guess size doesn’t really matter when you are just looking to keep your daily streak alive
 
12-Feb-23
Such a fun find!
 
09-Feb-23
Having recently noticed that this one had been replaced, I had to pop down to see what all the kerfuffle was about. I started searching around the falls and once I got my rocks off, I noted that burgo seems to stuff his cock in any dirty hole, without even making sure it is clean. Not only that, his cock doesn’t seem to be as large as he makes it out to be. I was able to remove it from it’s hole without it touching the sides even. Actually, it does look like it has gone off half cocked. I also noted that the last finder put a heart under their signed log so it seems that some people actually love burgo’s little cock. I added my name to the log sheet and plunged that little cock back into its hole so fast I almost thought it may have exploded in there, but it wasn't to be the case. I had to place a rock back on it as it was trying to jump up and down trying to get back out of that moist hole. Hopefully this one lasts a while longer than the last one. Worth a favourite, but as a basic member I can’t love it that much. Thanks for the cache but I feel all dirty after playing with that little cock, I must say. Maybe I need to hop under the waterfall for a cold shower.

Found quickly, nice container

Together with my favorite geocacher Milonguera we traveled to Australia We went to Melbourne via Singapore and from there we explore the south, the center and the east coast.
We walked around Melbourne and had a nice meet & greet event. Than we visited Philip Island with the pinguins and the Great Ocean Road. We fed and petted kangaroos visited the koalas and continued north via Coober Pedy to Alice Springs. We hiked around the impressive Uluru and through the beautiful Kata Tjuta and breathtaking Kings Canyon. The gorges of the Macdonell-Ranges are nice to. We traveled north and than east to Townsville.

Zusammen mit meiner Lieblingsgeocacherin Milonguera reise ich nach Australien. Über Singapur flogen wir nach Melbourne und von dort wollen wir mit dem Camper den Süden, das rote Zentrum und die Ostküste erkunden. Wir liefen durch Melbourne und trafen nette Menschen bei unserem Event, wir besuchten Philip Island mit den Pinguinen und die Great Ocean Road mit den 12 Aposteln.
Wir fuhren nach Adelaide, besuchten die Koalas und weiter gings Richtung Norden über Coober Pedy bis nach Alice Springs. Wir wanderten um den eindrucksvollen Uluru, durch die wunderschönen Kata Tjuta und den atemberaubenden Kings Canyon. Auch die Schluchten der Macdonell-Ranges sind sehr schön. Weiter gings Richtung Norden und dann nach Osten Richtung Townsville.

**Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for showing the location and for hiding the cache. You should come to Berlin in Germany to find a lot of interesting geocaches, visit lost places in the surrounding Brandenburg and meet nice people at many events.
I wish you a lot of fun and great adventures while searching for the next geocache!**

Ich bedanke mich bei burgo78 für den Cache, das Zeigen dieses Ortes, das Legen und Pflegen der Dose und den Spaß beim Finden! Thanks for the cache!
Ich wünsche weiterhin viel Spaß bei der Suche nach den Dosen, nette Menschen beim nächsten Event und tolle Erlebnisse und Abenteuer beim Suchen und Finden!

Ohne tolle Owner wie Euch wäre das Spiel nicht möglich. Ich freue mich, wenn Ihr auch meine Caches in Berlin-Britz besucht. Neben der Hufeisensiedlung, die zum Kulturwelterbe der Unesco gehört, gibt es viele alte Bunker zu entdecken und die Baustelle der Autobahn A100 ist auch immer wieder interessant. Von der neuen Minna-Todenhagen-Brücke zwischen Baumschulenweg und Oberschöneweide hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Spree und kann nebenbei ein paar Dosen finden.
An Neumond lade ich zum Sternegucken auf die Berliner Berggipfel oder an astronomische Orte ein. In der dunkelsten Nacht zwischen den Vollmonden genießen wir den Blick auf die blinkenden Sterne und die funkelnde Stadt Berlin.

»Cock & Falls« (2.5/2.0)
*Dies ist mein Cache Nummer 20054.*

Viele Grüße von XETRO aus Britz im Süden Berlins.

Someone grabbed my cock again so I’ve had to replace it. I’ve slid it back into the moist hole.
 
09-Jan-23
If HaZeus did find a nice cock here, it doesn’t seem to be here now. Maybe that cacher was so impressive that they had to make that cock their own. Who is to know? In any case, I can’t locate a cache here and couldn’t on my previous visit. Looking at the waterfall, if he had fallen that far and survived, without breaking anything It would certainly not be a soft cock, for sure.

Found while strolling along the Strand, had a couple of muggles around, tried to be as stealthy as I could.
