With the release of the new labyrinth series I need to get my finds up to make sure I can claim my next souvenir. Working my way slowly to 500 I need to keep going and am collecting many so I can finally claim my 500th with a very deserving cache for this milestone. I have slacked off a bit lately but with this milestone so close time to speed it up. Townsville is blessed with some amazing caches and a great diversity of caches which keeps this game fun and entertaining the whole time, you can’t get bored when you have a great diversity and some of the interesting caches Townsville has to offer. Visited all my cool coins I have
Thankyou to all the Townsville caches for doing there part in making this such a great game. I don’t normally ramble on like this, but having such a low average word count I really need to get it higher.

After being replaced back out in the area to claim this find at last. Thank you Diver for replacing the cache, at least in a temporary way.

Some extra cricket trivia to go along with my last bit. In Test cricket history only 21 people have got out for a diamond duck.

With the release of the latest labyrinth challenge, I find myself picking up a few caches as a daily challenge to ramp up my days cached on. As I’ve signed a 1000 day challenge I’m not going to get there in a hurry if I rush out and grab all the caches needed to free signal from the dragon, so I’ll be drag on out my caching habits this round, I be reckoning.
I am always hesitant to claim a find on an unauthorised throw down but having been here twice before and lodging a DNF, in case it gets deleted. Mind you, when throw downs are added, surely only the first finder gets deleted for not following protocols, as how is the next person meant to know they didn’t. I was just in a rush to clear the blue frown and didn’t check with the owner that it wasn’t authorised.
Due to the phallic nature of the new cache container, may I suggest a name change. Maybe just a vowel switch. . In saying that, I’m sure Bob would be a bit disappointed he falls a bit short
Thanks skatierocks for the fun and challenge of locating this Traditional
3845 and also a hats off to GC Diver for being a naughty boy with this one

I had visited this cache a few months back and was only able to find the suspicious pile of sticks without a cache underneath. I now returned despite all the DNFs of the following 4 months. Now also the sticks are gone. I decided to replace the cache with a recycled one in the exact spot where I found the sticks before and covered it as intended, but properly my replacement container isn’t as nice as the original. I hope this is ok for the CO and that it survives for longer this time, but it seems this is a popular resting spot for curious people.

No luck today. Don’t know if it’s missing or I’m missing something. My phone was jumping around a bit which could have been a problem. Couldn’t find anything, besides lots of junk.

More cricket trivia ~ If a batsman is dismissed with out facing a ball it is a “**diamond duck**”.

They really like their ducks in cricket

I found this cache on the ground at the GZ and replaced it where it looked like it was meant to be after I had stamped the log. I absolutely love the cache container so this has earnt a FP from me. Thanks for placing and maintaining so many cool caches in this region skatierocks.

Out with the Flexi group and BlackPearl.
We challenged the young people to find this one before us to score a frozen. Ive rarely seen them move that fast and they had the cache before we were even out of the van. That said it was very easy as it was very exposed.
Thanks Skatie. I hope it lasts.
