1444 for the tribeOne of the tribe came back today for a second attempt at the cache. We were determined to find this sneaky little one!! Took a little time again, with breaks in between muggles walking past, but with some persistence, hooray we found it!! Previous attempt we were looking on the wrong side of the bridge. Thank you for a lovely cache, a great hide and lots of happiness when found
Found: 13.15We hiked from Clifton beach to Palm Cove and on our way we passed this cache. With the four of us we made an attempt at finding it, but without success. During a nice coffee break we read the cache text (helpful!) and we brainstormed about what the hint could mean. With this new information, we gave it another try on our way back, and this time with almost immediate success! What a nice and sneaky hide!
Looked everywhere. Found a string rope thingy with nothing on it- was that supposed to be it and it fell off? Did not end up finding it
After 15 min search i have to let it go. Little bit scared to go of track...
Nice detour from our walk along the beach from Clifton beach to palm cove. Searched a few possible places then spottled one of my favourite types of cache. So glad we didnt need to enter the swamp! Fave, TFTC!
Went yesterday with no luck, tried again today with the help of defective yogi, spotted right away! So fun, for the excitement I dropped it, luckily its dry season so I was able to retrieve it straight away lol
Took me quite a while to find the gz. Forgot pen so will he back tomorrow to log it. TFTC
Went for a stroll from Palm Cove to Clifton beach, hoping to pick ip some caches along the way. We spotted the cache reasonably fast but did not have the proper tools with is.Confirmed with CO it was the right spot, and it was. Got permission to log it (thx). Met a nice Australian couple at GZ that was also searching. They also were without proper tooling unfortunately. Next time when we go on a holiday, we most definitely have to bring our geocaching backpack, hoping security at the airport is OK with it .Greetings from the Netherands
Had a good look on the way out, but just could not find this one. Quite a lot of cyclists and walkers on a Sunday morning so we moved on. On the way back, we had another look and quickly found it. Great hint! Favourite point. TFTC
Ignore my dnf post; my fingers were probably nervous after seeing the sign nearby preceded by a visit earlier in the day to Hartleys crocodile Adventure Tftc; beautiful part of the world.
Went out for a bike ride today, didn't understand the hint much but saw something out of place. Tftc
Thanks for bringing us here, we went for a bike ride from our resort and noticed one along the way. Glad to sign a fresh logbook! Greetings from Melbourne.
Found it. Thanks for the hints. Now the kids understand what we are looking for.
Came down to check the cache, the container was rusted shut, which was remedied, and is now back in play. Happy caching!
Found 10:55Was close to giving up when I expanded the search & made the find. Like others, was unable to open & actually get to the log. Need to return with WD40 & pliers to make my mark.Ran into some friends that spotted a 2m snappy at the bridge just south of nearby intersection yesterday. Always be crocwise! We love crab spotting on these boardwalks!TFTC
Arrived at GZ and quickly found the cache. But getting at the log was a whole other matter. With the container rusted shut a trip back to the geomobile for my leatherman was in order. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC
Found yesterday on a bike ride sorry wasnt prepared with a pen pic sent for proof.
What a cool cache, found it on second attempt. Always thought it was what it was, just hard searching in muggle town....! Nice, TFTC!!!
Had to draw upon years of experience to get me hands on this one! The hint isnt what Id call a hint! Tftc
Mangrove forest a bit scary in the dark..cache fortunately was an easy one while in the area for other things. Thanks.
Found it after a short search, paper is all scrambled up and it was hard to get it out but we managed and after signing we rolled it up and back in it goes. TFTC
Out and about exploring whilst holidaying in the area. Quite a few muggles running about. Had a bit of idea for this one. It wasn't long and a find of a cleverly made cache was made by Team A. SL TFTC Three Bees.
Found on second visit to GZ. Quick find, as I had an idea of what I was looking for after reading through a few logs. Too many muggles on the first visit. Nice hide TFTC
Making our way along the coastline today in an attempt to visit as many beaches as possible in a day, grabbing a few select caches along the way. Located this one fairly quickly, tftc Three Bees️
We finally got around to replacing the cache. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully, this won't happen again.

Got everything ready and we’re just waiting for a good time to place it without too many muggles around. Should be out within the week of all goes right.
Hi, just a quick update on the status of the cache, we currently waiting on parts for the cache and trying to figure out what to do with it, the cache will be back up and going in the near future, sorry for any inconvenience caused.
On holiday in Palm Cove at the moment. Nice walk along the beach to the cache however did not find it after some looking around. We had a l9vely walk along the board walk back though.
Yes, we "found" it. But at the same time it dropped off and "landed" in the water amongst all the mangroves. Presuming it might be magnetic we tried to retrieve it. For that we suspended Ingrid's swiss pocket knife with open blade on a string and lowered it into the black mud. We tried very hard but couldn't get the little fella hooked. Now we had to confess our mishap to the cache owner and are hoping for understanding.
Clever clue! When I had it figured out, I bolted to the coordinates and found what I was looking for!

Spending the week at Port Douglas and visiting Kuranda and Palm Cove today. Have holidayed in the region a few times but was not aware of geocaching back then. Specially sought out this d/t combo to complete my QLD fizzy grid. Locating this cache was quicker than opening it but thankfully was able to add my name to the log

Very sneaky, if it wasn't for a previous log we would've searched a lot longer.
FP from us because we love Clifton beach so much and for the mean hide of course

Touring in Palm Cove for a few nights, I set out to hit down some caches along the beach. After anticipating a storm, and staring face to face with a colony of green ants building on a neighbouring tree I left this cache lost.
Looking around for a little I used previous find knowledge to find this. It came to me like a bolt out of the blue after a fishmade me jump
Tftc didn't sign didn't have a pen in the boardies

Awesome hide. I never knew this spot existed. I just signed an M . Favourite point from me. Tftc
A sneaky hide. Several other cachers had also located this cache today, but the area was deserted when we arrived. Thanks Three Bees for placing this cache.
We walked up to another geocacher trying to find the cache with our combined efforts we found it! Tftc
