Hi there mackay_geocaching, we found your cache GEOCROC-48 today. Its day 10 of our geocaching trip to Mackay. Today we thought we would attack some of the bike trail caches. Bright green and shiny really stands out in the dappled sunlight. Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache near where our GPS said we should be looking. Cache Condition: Good. Regards Ian & Penny (Found and logged using Cachly).

Another early start today with a plan to get in some paddle caches along the river, however the recent drizzles have put a little dampener on today's plans. With the change of plans, it is now a drive and cache day. We did still manage to get out and get in a couple of water caches but the tide was all wrong for us and the forecast was for heavier rains later in the day so we decided to abort and go with plan B. The walk around collecting some more of the croc series was nice, yet in that open area it was very windy.We then headed out to grab some multi's and a couple of tree fishing caches before a rugged terrain walk to a couple of challenges of which we aborted one, (next time).The rain did not dampen our spirits and we still had a lot of laughs and a nice time caching and checking out areas of Mackay.There are a lot of caches in this little town and surprisingly they are all there in place. We managed to find most of the caches on our trip and all logs were signed, and all caches were replaced as found. Thanks for the placements here and I'm sure we will be back for the remainder at some point.

We woke up early to a rainy, windy day, so we continued on with our plans best we could with our fowl weather gear on hand.Nearly got blown off our feet at times, but we still managed to find over thirty caches today.All the caches found were in good condition, and a couple were hard to get to but were easy to find once at GZ.Thank you, mackay_geocaching, for another great lot of caches placed for the benefit of the geocaching community.

In the Mackay area for a few days, have a lot of this solved but probably not enough time to find many of them.

This one was a nice walk close to an errand we were running.

This puzzle reminded me of jokes that we used to create at school.

Thanks Mackay Geocaching for the awesome puzzles. Got some help on solving some of the puzzles but fun finding the caches. SL

thanks Mackay Geocaching for the cool puzzles SL

06/11/22 Maintenance Check, cache all good

Our group Team Mackz has slowly been solving these puzzles with a bit of local help. Finally got out for a walk to get them with a couple of locals. Found with gcquest79, mackcacher1208, cachequest11. Thanks Geocaching Mackay for creating this series for us to enjoy. A few of these locations definately had eyes on the lookout for crocs but none spotted.

A nice day out on the bike path today following the others getting some geocaches. We tried out the purple scooters which were fun. thanks for the ca$he

We have solved the puzzles and signed the logs, thanks for the puzzles and the hides

T4T$ Well not only did it not start raining, but then the clouds cleared and the sun was beating down on us as we walked the path with no shade at all..... Hubby was wilting in the heat, so I propped him on the next shady bench we came to and told him SIT !!!! STAY !!!!! I went on to find the next one on the trail and came back to pick him up. We made our way back to the car, stopping at each bench along the way. Will have to do the rest by myself, maybe on a scooter.

Ce matin, nous faisons un tour de 3,3 km à pied avec notre fille et notre petite petite-fille, il fait beau et pas encore trop chaud, c'est très agréable Nous cherchons au passage quelques caches dont nous avons résolu l'énigme, celle-ci en fait partie. Nous la trouvons rapidement, comme pour les autres caches du CO, les coordonnées sont précises et la cache parfaite Nous laissons la trace de notre passage sur le logbook et remettons tout en place soigneusement. Merci mackay_geocaching pour cette cache et pour la découverte des lieux

Found this one in July but forgot to log so doing it now while I remember TFTC

Quick find on the way.

I travelled down from Townsville yesterday to pick up several of these geocroc geoart caches that I needed for my DT grid. I brought my kayak down but as I was walking around to grab some of them I somehow managed to come across BenM70 and burgo78 at one of the caches I walked to. They were boating to them but picking up others on the way. I asked if I could tag along for some of the ones I’ve solved. As I visited them, I signed the logs anyway and hopefully will get to solving them later
Sorry for this generic logging but it was quite a busy day yesterday and I had to keep track of what ones I came too in and in what order.
The habitat that the caches are located is simply stunning. It is nice to see clean clear water in the creeks here compared to the muddy waters we see at the Bohle
Amused that the Vegan Cachers worked out the puzzle first but probably just me being childish. Back on dry land to pick up this and the next of these

Currently out and about picking up smileys this fine Saturday in the hope that we cam complete the Mackay crocodile GeoArt and add a few more FTFs to the collection
Certainly happy to have picked up a few first to solves along the way early on when these first trickled out but missed the boat when the latter were released. It’s not like I’m in the running to win a jigidi race
Nice to see that you can pretty much complete a DT loop in Mackay now.
burgo made quick work of finding this while we looked on
Thanks mackay_geocaching for placing these

Not surprisingly Townsville caching has fallen into a lull after the buzz of the Mega so Ben and I turned our attention to solving Mackay’s new geoart as it was released.

With the generous DT of the last instalment we brought our plans forward to make the trip down to collect the series as we both needed a couple for our FTF grids and I needed two of the combos for my 8th DT loop.

With an early (middle of the night to me) 5:15am start we set off from home with the boat in tow. Ben did his best to get us there as quickly as possible, drafting to increase speed and limit fuel consumption (I’m assuming).

Onto the beach and up the bank.

Thanks mackay_geocaching for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

After a day walking around in circles at work all day, a walk im a straight line was a pleasure.

Got to gz and quickly had the container on hand.

Signed and returned to the geomobile to head home and have a well earned rest.

TFTC and the series.

Joint *FTF* with SeasonedBird after another night of puzzle solving on our short stay. I’ll leave the more interesting detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird or Angry Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC mackay_geocaching

A *FTF* with Wollaston on a short stay in Mackay, everything here is out to get you, seeds, mozzie, midgies, crocs and bush turkeys. We are taking home a bit of Mackay whether we want to or not
