Squeeze That Pimple! Kings Beach, Queensland, Australia

Just trying to track all the geocaches I've done with a TB

No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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 30 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.

Unfortunately we didn't read the last few logs before attempting. Couldn't find it either, suggest Map Monkey come and check his cache out, and if it can't be found then archive it.

We didn't find either. If this many people can't find it, it should be archived. Sure the view is great, but it would be even better with a log to sign.

Ummm... this Cache is not there!!!

Good walk great views could not locate the cache.It has not been found since January 2011 so it may need to be checked by the owner. thanks for the walk.

walked up there,searched everywhere.....looks like it has been removed

Tried again today after looking at the spoiler.
Looks like it has been muggled.

Coordinates took me to the two large rocks. Did not find container. Is it still there or did I miss it ?
A fair bit grass in the area since the rain. Track a bit washed out but ok.

We're on a trip around the world, now for 3 months in Australia. Today we drove from Townsville to Airlee beach, taking it slowly going south because of the floodings. We had a lovely afternoon here on the beach in Bowen. Thanks very much for showing us! Greetings from the Netherlands.

Huffed and puffed my way to the top with my eldest muggle daughter (very hot today) What a great view...and the breeze was a beautiful We sat and enjoyed the view until we had cooled off before climbing over a few rocks to find the treasure. TNLN Thanks Map Monkey

Nice walk up to the hill!

Bonjour from French Canadians,

Holidaying from Quebec, Canada. Having a geocaching great time in Australia!!

Second for the day and man - we loved it. We took the circuit and enjoyed the walk and the views. This is definitely the best cache so far in Oz. Therefore we left our little TB Skippy to hop on its adventures.
Just a little hint - we honestly think the terrain should be upgraded to a three star as the last metres are really tough!
Thanks for the cache - it was a great hike!!!!

TFTC, did this one alone and has some reflection time on top of the Rocks, Great View, and awesome spot for the cache.

Found at 9.30.

Took Torch.
Left Hope Beetle.

Cool cache on an early morning jog. Well worth it the view was fantastic. cheers

Found at 8:50hrs. Nice walk up the hill for this one. Rose Bay brings back memories of when I was young. It was the place for school holidays. We knew these hills like the back of our hands. No walking tracks in those days.

Found with matt_stomper. Enjoyed the walk. A great excuse for exercise. TFTC

Great walk up to this cache. we did this one in the middle of the day and it was very hot. I would recommend taking water if attempting this one in the middle of the day. Found with Shell_seeker. TFTC!!!

Brett was almost standing on it.
Evan's 1st. Now another is hooked.

First of four cache hunts on the walking track from Rose Bay to Horseshoe Bay. Nice easy find, lots of swaps in this one for the geo kiddies! TNLN. Thanks!

Found it after walking past it a few times, all good.

Found at 2.30pm GAFF1. A magnificent spot! A commanding view of the town below us and the views across to the islands are equisit. There was a helicopter flying around watching the boats in the Bowen Fishing Classic The cache was found in a squeezy spot and then we had the easy walk down.
Thanks Map Monkey

Pt. Douglas Trip 09.5. It was a nice walk up from the back of the resort. Lots to see along the way. Thanks.

Great spot and great views worth the climb to the top. Found easily and quickly. TFTC SL Took geocoin and a funny looking music box.

First one on a round trek from Queens Beach- the cache kids did us proud by the end of the 2 hour trek up and down hills and through the odd patch of spinifex on route to get all three caches in this area. Excellent view from this one of Bowen although it was very- very windy. Left a pack of cards and a toy car. Took a toy car and a quarter $US.

Another great veiw Gazza572003 and I were able to take in such a beautiful place, we enjoyed the walk up to the lookout. Cache was a quick easy find. TFTC. TNLN.

FOUND WITH BUBBLENSQUEAK WHILST ENROUTE TO ROCKY, TERRIFIC VIEWS. TNLN, TFTC.

Es hat "ein" sehr grosser und interessanter Stein ......big smeil
Gut gefunden danke fuer den Cache

This was a good walk up the hill. Great views over the bay. TFTC. Left a Funny face ball.

We enjoyed a nice walk uphill in the evening - the views were stunning. Quick find, but the ants were annoying

TNLN TFTC JM-Project

Four find for the day was made at 1400. Weren't too sure about why this cache had the name it had until we reached the lookout. What a good name!!! We shared the location with some tourists for a little while. As they climbed dangerously over some large boulders we continued on our hike. After a short search, Bumblebee located and retrieved the container. SL. TNLN. TFTC.

incredible area, awesome views and magic birdlife..
i just wish i could stay here forever.. Larksfield, Blenheim, New Zealand

Charming name, but a nice cache. TFTC

We decided on one of the advisaed parking spots and it turned out well. The walk we an interesting one and the views were great. Geo-wife spotted it and as they say the rest is history.

Took Nothing
Left a $10 chip

We parked at Murray bay. It was near midday and quite warm. Geowife wasn't too enthusiastic but the view was well worth the effort.

Great walk, Magnificent views and an easy find to boot! How good is that. The Reluctant Companion and I strolled up the hill for the best view in Bowen and that is saying something! TNLN. TFTC Map Monkey.

GAFF 2 I used the first suggested parking area, found the walking track and only a 300 m climb to the top for a great view to Rose Bay and beyond. Took a little while for the GPS to settle and then onto the cache area after reading the hint but did not look at the spoiler. Once in the area I quickly found the cache as part of it was showing. NI-NO. Rehid the cache the way it should have been, as you cannot see it now. After leaving I started to be bitten all over by green ants who sunk their fangs in and would not let go until I squashed them. Down the track a dark snake received a fright and slid off into the bushes while Bushfire moved very quickly in the opposite direction. Thanks Map Monkey for bringing me to this spot.

Found it after a while, even crawling a little under the rocks.

Great view,

Thanks for the cache.

WanderingAus wandered by on day sixty-three of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find. Another awesome view.

My find No 661, LCC, TNLNSL, grabbed Caching Hazards Geocoin (ref = TB1WBNP), dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

Second cache for the day in Bowen, whilst driving through to Townsville. Invigorating walk to the cache, with rewarding views. Took nothing, left a penny and a Lake Macquarrie medallion. TFTC.

Found the cache after a bit of cawling around. Nice view. Blowin Bowen was in fine form. TNLN TFTC

We popped it! Climb up had the heart racing and we were pleased that there was a well defined track all the way. Didn't take too long to locate. Great spot and excellent views over town. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks to last cacher for leaving new log book.
Left: Caching Hazards geocoin

Dropped in our travelling geocoin for a quick visit.

Found this one at 12:35pm. What a beautiful location and view...WOW!. I finally decided to drop into Bowen on my way to Townsville from Emerald via Gladstone. It actually took me a few minutes to find this one as I was looking for the obvious pile of out of place rocks. I should have just trusted my GPS which indicated 0metres to GZ (Which it was). Rookie mistake! Doh!

TNLN

Thanks,

Found as member of LEDGIN'S.

Nice walk, nice easy find. TFTC

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1510. TNLN.

NEXT PERSON TO GO LOOKING FOR THIS ONE - PLEASE - PLEASE - TAKE A NEW LOG BOOK. Any small spiral book will do the trick. Would seem the last maintenance request has been missed as there is no room left in the log book.

This one took us ages - didn't have gps set right - that's our excuse anyway - and we were taken on an extensive walk. After a couple of hours walking and searching husband found cache. OUR VIRGIN FIND - YAAAA HUUUU. In: blue beyond blue wrist band. Out: noting. PS. Cache needs new note book.

Cache need a new Log Book.

Great View, a bit harder to locate than "Horsing Around" but it was wothh the climb.
TN/LN

Now which of those parking coordinates is closest? Rode around, and found a reasonably easy access to the cache site.

Looks like council is doing maintenance on the access tracks, making the walk even easier.

Paid my respects at the memorial just below the pimple. I guess he liked the view.

Found at 1130 hrs.

The sixtyth cache found on my trip out west and up north.

No sign of Erin in the cache.

Cheers

Here for the XPD adventure race and decided to check out the local area with a bit of caching! TFTC

Another brilliant cache.
Took travel bug UMF323 to head to NZ in a couple of weeks time.

Arrived in Airley Beach on 17 August to take part in the XPD - a 10-day adventure race. Hired a car to check out the surroundings with our team of 4 before the event. A marvellous view and a good hiding spot, thanks..

Found this one with Bootleg homebrew, Not too sure about the steps, but I wasn't going to let it beat me, A blood pumping hike up the steps with several stops to rest the legs, but if I can make it anyone with a heart and a desire for excelent views ow the whitsundays will enjoy this cache. Left TB Logbook Full TFTC

Was lucky enough to get a work trip to the Bowen area for a few days and forfeited a sleep in so that I could find this one. Forgot to bring any swaps or my camera but managed to take a photo on my phone of the sunrise. Nice spot and great views. Thanks Map Monkey. I picked up 'Cat Sweetie' for a trip a little further north. TNLN SL TFTC.

Great spot, easy to find.

Adam went out on his own to get this one, Shelly was a bit tired after a day in the sun. A great spot and a nice walk. Thanks for the cache.

Enjoyable walk and rewarding views. Another great cache. Left travel bug. Thanks Map Monkey

I have walked up here many times over the last 30yr, have even tryed to move that rock in my younger years. What lovley views of the beautifull beaches of this town.
Found at 10am took Goe Coin left gel pen and stickers.

Should have been find number two for me... ended up being find number 80. Didn't even need the gps just used experience from the last 77 caches and found it pretty quickly. Left a very short log as the log book is nearing the last few pages. A windy steamy Tuesday all I had for company was a about a thousand mozzies and a rather startled echidna... drat... no camera to prove it! Took the "geocoin" escort??? Left a proper california geocoin in it's place. TFTC Andrew.

[Excelent view, well worth the climb, ]next time i will read the cach notes befour driving to the cache, luckily I found a close park to the cache, noticing the hikers sighn indicating where i had just been,[Additional hint is a little unfair, but I eventually found it.
cut and scrached I left TB and went for a cold drink,
TFTC well worth the effort, P.S. log book nearly full

another good little hill climb TNLNSL

Found the cache at 1.30pm. Gosh so beautiful view. No swap. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

OH! not another hill my poor legs but it was worth the climb once again beautiful views the colour of the water is to die for. the log book in this cache is just about due for replacement. on the way back down I had an encounter with a snake and found speed in my legs that I thought was long gone. Geo hubby just laughed at me as usual.
L tazo's and snake plus our smile

Now that IS a pimple. Bit big to squeeze though [:o]
Scratched around for the cache for quite a while before discovering it's very well concealed hidey hole
Isn't if fun when you look at the PDA AFTER finding the cache and realise you have a picture of the hiding place
Took a crocodile and left a traffic play set. Grabbed Lizard TB which has been here a while now.

Found it!

More when we are back in Germany.

Thanks and best regards,
Mattes + PaulHarris

Thanks for taking us to this excellent viewpoint. The hike up was hot but it didn't take too long. Found the cache easily enough. Traded bugs, took the Lion and left the Lizard, he enjoys hot, dry places. Thanks. - Rusty Reebs and Ski Bunny from Canada.

We decided to try and find this cache on our way home. We certainly werent disappointed. What a great view!!! Although the mozzies were out in force.
We took nothing but decided this was a nice spot to leave Lion Iron Pants the TB we do hope he enjoys the view as much as we did.

Found by crew en route to Cairns from Rockhampton for Hols

Great walk up to this cache and the views are first class

The cache probably needs a new log book

Took koala and left Brumby vouchers

Blowin Bowen. It was a bit windy as usual but we pulled in and tackled this one. The air was very clear and the photos taken turned out postcard perfect.

GeoBrett had a bit of a fall on the walking trail and is now suffering a nice bruise on his bum.

Cache was located easily and we took a keyring and left a toy car.

Thanks for the diversion

Rated: for Overall Experience

Bowen is such a gorgeous town, so glad i planned an overnight stay here at Rose bay. Expected this cache to be on the other side of town on the lookout from the description, but was plesantly suprised to find it was about 600m from my hotel room - all be it uphill...

Left hubby in bed and went for a walk at about 7am - it was a beautiful morning - I so need to move somewhere tropical (thrive in humidity!).

I got sooo many scratches getting to this cache, i'm sure there was an easier way.. and i just didn't find it...

Cache was a bit low on supplies so i put in a few things - can't remember off the top of my head, but i think i put in a koala, a marble and somethign else... - took out a little bead charm i thought was cute.

Considered taking the sugar and coffee sachets out, but decided to leave them as the cache is well sealed - possibly not a great idea to leave them in there too long though.

Thanks so much for the cache, would never have taken that morning walk without it.

Great location, on our way from Townsville to the south we did this cache and found it. Nice location where we otherwise would not have come. Thanks for showing a couple of tourists from the Netherlands this location.

Found this under account name Keremz, combining 2 accounts finds together

Great views, easy find, damn hot for two kiwis on honeymoon!
Low cache stock - nothing
+ Coffee sachets

Found squeeze that pimple on 2nd attempt.
Fantastic view and a new apreceation of Bowen.
Took dummy and left zip pull.
Thanks agsmky
Cassowary

Not too hard to find, very close to the coords. The views give a whole new perspective to Bowen and surrounds. Took nothing and left a toy spinning top. Thanks agsmky.

tnln cheers

Sorry I haven't logged this sooner. Yes, a difficult one to find using the clue given but certainly in place on the day and well within the expected circle of error of the GPS so, think up and over. I took the promised prize and left a little something which I now can't recall.

I note that you asked that rocks not be moved. When I stood on the rock it spun around and I fell, sustaining a nasty cut and bruise on my shin - ouch!!(better again now 6 weeks latter) I did remove the bloodied rock!!

Checked on cache today......still there

Climbed the hill for lunch and watched as the GPS received all 12 satellites [^][^][^]

Uploaded a spoiler photo to help in the search....Use with discretion

AGSMKY

I had a good look for it... no donut! I agree with Cassowary, looks like a muggle got there first. I had a great day burning off calories on the walking trails in the area none the less! An excellent place to hide a cache or two in and about the WW2 radar station nearby.

[:C] Didn't find it despite spending more than an hour at ground Zero.
Triangulated from every direction with no joy.
The location is excelent, have driven by many times without calling in, thanks for the adventure.
Unfortunetly I think the cache may have been disturbed.
