Canuck Down Under Cache Trinity Beach, Queensland, Australia
By McMoose & Cindy Loo Who on 24-Nov-04. Waypoint GCM5K8

In have been unable to contact a local person to support this cache....it has been a great 10 years. Thanks to all who enjoyed it....G'day!

I will try to contact our local person who can try to re-establish

Made the mistake of looking for this cache without reading the comments first. Got upto where the cache was supposed to be and a homeless person had made a shelter there so didn't want to disturb them. Don't make my 2nd mistake of trying to get back to Trinity Beach via the beach-rocks were not passable!

Seems really to be gone
Anybody to check this one please?
Great spot though!

A really beautiful beach and a nice hiding place. But I checked all possible spots with equipement and I didn`t find anything. Normally I don`t care, if people with a handful of founds log a dnf, but this one really seems to be gone.

So close yet soooo far away... I'm coming back for u

Couldn't find it. Looked hard with 4 others

Couldn't find it. Looked with 4 others

Searched High and Low, lots of long grass made things difficult and ants didnt make it easy either. No luck this time round but did find a beautiful spot.

Looked everywhere for this one. From chin high grass too rock crevasses. No luck.

Looked long and hard for this one to no avail. We checked all the likely spots, and then the unlikely ones. We saw the snake skins and checked the photos but still couldn't make the find.

[green] Walked over from Trinity beach on Moor Rd and then on a dirt track. Amazing spot so uncommercialised. TFTC

Looked hard. Found snake skins but couldn't find the cache.

Great find snake skin scared me tho

Brilliant spot and enjoyed container, snake skins made me wary, so lots of noise we made! Someone has a nice camp nearby, left some swaps!

Brilliant spot hidden well8)

Last cache of the day. Me and my dad found out that a wallaby in the tall grass can be very scary Thanks for cache #166!

Cool cache

Brilliant cache the kids loved it great location thanks

Found it

Found with Kool Running while visiting from the South Coast of WA. Took a while as the cache was walked over a few times. Then had a bit of a bush walk back over the top of the hill to Trinity Beach.

Found with Coast’n Along, refer to log from Coast’n Along.

What a great spot. Been here 11 yrs and never been here. Nice walk (not). I have bung foot so be cautious. Thanks a heap guys. Really enjoyed this one.

long long wet grass but no cache

Our mission is over, our trip to drop off Chantal's Marble is done. We wanted to find a beautiful outlook for her to rest for a while. Hard slog to the location as it had been raining and the track was boggy, long grass everywhere but we fought on to find it. Had a little trouble with the GPS with it running me around in circles thought it maybe the planes coming in for a landing. We did use the clue in the end to help us. Just the most beautiful spot...TFTC...

As a canuck down under myself, I kinda had to find this one! TFTC! This one gets a favorite!

Good location for this one. It is a bit overgrown at the moment and I traipsed around in the long grass for a while looking but got it eventually.

Loved this spot, absolutely beautiful. It is so good to know it's there. The tide was out and there were a few muggles enjoying the day with kids casting nets but other than that it was very peaceful. I would like to go back for another look one day. TFTC. Everything was in good order, found a snake skin in the rocks nearby GZ. Good spot.

On our visit to Cairns decided to do the northerly caches today. Interesting walk and then had to be stealth to avoid the near-by camper.
TFTC

Awesome views of the coast as far as Palm Cove, lovely spot for a picnic and a spot of fishing The nomadic one is stll camped nearby

SL TFTC took cream left Tiger TB

We're the newbs that found this with Carli. Hooked

The lady (Carli) made her first find on this one at 10.54 pm. May suggest doing this one during the day! Two newbies came along on this one... Hooked. Took bracelet and clacker, left pirate treasure. TFTC!!!!

Second cache preety easy and hard took about half an hour to find

Amazing how long these ammo tins last out in the open ! Removed some rubbish, took key ring left parachute man. Great location for a cache, thank you

Found with the GeoMonkey

Fount it during a morning stroll around Trinity Beach. A nice quiet spot. TFTC!

Hmmm don't no where else too look still couldn't find it with my dad. When it had toys I will keep trying tho

Not where we thought it would be. We took the real higher ground route and had to come back down. Beans sustained slight injury on slippery grass. Stay on beach. Found with philiejames. SL TFTC

Found this cache while out Geocaching with BlondeAtTheRoots, Stooy, and Kircket +1 (Jazzy Bean). Visiting Australia to dive the Great Barrier Reef and see the solar eclipse. We took the path around to the cache, but upped the terrain on the way back by hiking along the rocky shore. Eventually we had to move up the hill when we came to some rock climbing walls with anchors. Fun times. Thanks for the cache!

Cache container and log book were in good shape.

Took nothing, left nothing, and signed the log book.

This cache was found using a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx, a Garmin Nuvi 1690, and a Garmin eTrex Summit. Waypoints downloaded via Geocaching Swiss Army Knife. Paperless Caching support from iPhone 5 running the Geocaching App and an Asus Eee PC Android Slider running cGEO and Locus Maps.

Found this one easily after following the impressive 4wd geotrails that led right over the large rock outcrop and stopped near GZ. So secluded here, thanks for sharing this

Have been staying in the area for a week now... this Cache site is special... Well done you Canadians... THANKYOU.

A nice walk together with Mufflarn. A hippie had put up a tent not far from the cache.
Thanks!

Our hotel was in Trinity beach so we asked for a way to walk to Kewarra beach. We walked from Kewara beach in the sand to this spot. Nice view over the beach and someone's residence a bit further out. A man was fising from his kayak. TFTC!

Beautiful day for walking around. Thanks.

Our 200th TFTC

Beautiful spot. TFTC

Absolutely beautiful spot. Right on sunset.

Came from the wrong direction, then tried it from the other side. Enjoyed the view, took a few pictures and then started searching at GZ. Quick find after 2 minutes. Inside many things are melted a little bit and the logbook looks a little bit burned on the first pages, seems the cache got very very hot somehow (because of direct sun?). Plenty much of stuff inside like seashells, soap, toys and a CD. No moose-stuff inside and no travelbug/geocoin.

TFTC from the German guy.

Took a while searching GZ for this one. TFTC.

TFTC^^
nice view

we had a very nice walk on the beach before founding this cache. we enjoyed the big beach and the big cache! TFTC! and cheers from switzerland!

great cache... thanks

Got there just before dark. Its a beautiful place to be, what a view. Thanks for bringing me here.

Found during hollidays in australia.

TFTC

Found the cache - took a bit of finding tho - but hey!! I'm a newbie and I'm flat out finding my GPS

Cache full of non- Canucky stuff - but still alive and well.

I think I deserve a nice swim now

TFTC. Great spot. Sloughed snake skins in rocks. Took travel bug. Took fish left lion.

TFTC buet of a place here typing this message at ground zero over looking the lovely sunset cheers

Had to be careful as there were a bunch of slightly drunk fishermen camped nearby. Hope to connect with you at the megabash in Duncan in July. Contact us. TFTC..... A couple of Canucks from Kimberley

Great view!! Worth the walk

Another great cache. Found with my brother while on hols fom England. TFTC SL TNLN

What a terrific spot and we never knew it was there. Great beach and fishing spot base on the muggle activity. Will come back here for some time out. TFTC TNLN

Nice stroll along the beach

Us Canucks down under couldn't resist this cache. Beautiful spot - tftc - moose jockeys

Ps love that the couple who found it yesterday were newlyweds! Caching honeymoon hooray!

Pps broken glass near gz - careful!

Married here yesterday, found the cache today. Tftc

This was one of the closet caches to our hotel but still took a few days to get around to grabbing. Nice little stroll over to here.
Took GC
TFTC

Just dipping in the TB we took from here so it has a record of having been here before.

Nice find on our morning jog. Staying at Coral Sands Resort and heading up to Daintree rainforest today. Such a nice secluded beach. Left a butterfly travelbug that we brought with us from Hockley Valley in Ontario, Canada to spread it's wings over the ocean. Cache is in good shape, may need to be sorted through. TFTF

We had a little afternoon stroll to the cache when the tide started coming in. Amazing, how quickly the sea returns!
TFTC from Austria

Went out looking for this one and two others, but after discovering a creek crossing was required, I decided to grab this one now and leave the others on my to-do list. Crossing creeks here in North Queensland can result in worst things than soggy shoes. Found easy enough T4TC! Left Geocoin.

Enjoyed the walk. TFTC

Pterdactyl is on a flight south, its tooooo hot here

Found this easily. Cache container is in good condition, however the log needs to be replaced since it has been partly burned due to a recent grass fire. For anyone planning to seek out this cache, please bring a new log book. Left “Ptyler the Pterodactyl” travel bug and took “No Kangaroos in Austria” patch. Very nice beach, TFTC!

Nice location. left a TB that wants to get to Brisbane in a hurry! And took TBC7P32T. TFTC

Found burned section.

Found rocks.

Climbed all over.

Couldn't find cache.

We too had grave fears for this cache with the evidence of a recent grass but alas, the cache survived in pretty good shape (arn't these containers just the best).

Thanks for the cache

My 1000th cache and my first in Australia!

And what a cache. Staying in Trinity Beach so this was a nice walk to this pleasant surprise. Down the track at the end of the road which opened up this amazing view and beach. Cache was easily found, picked up a TB and dropped one off I had brought from the UK. Now to go back and get the family to walk around the bay and get rid of the jet lag. TFTC.

A nice spot with a view back to where we have been staying this week. Found at 10:05am after having been worried by the evidence of a grass fire around GZ. Cache wqas all OK though.

thanks McMoose, CindyLooWho & the 2 G dogs

No sign left of the canucks except for the original log book. Great cache in wondeful location -- thank you. Tried to find gz from clifton beach but couldn't cross big stream. direct approach from trinity beach side. Nice walk, beautiful hidden beach. cache in great hiding spot and clue very helpful. Left pop n dog trackable. Couldn't have met mission brief better -- cache probably 20 metres from the sea.

Our first log in Australia on a beautiful place. Thanks from Barbara, Helga Gerhard and Salamander59.
PS: The area around the rocks is burnt down.

There are no kangaroos in Austria

Lovely beach, nice stroll, a good wade through high grass and an ammo can. Can't ask for much more really Cheers Gav [9134]

A nice cache in a lovely secluded location - TFTC.

Found it after a short search and hacking through some out of control grass. A moose would have helped to keep the grass in check. On the other hand, it is not likely a muggle will bother going there and accidently find it. Great spot and luckily I got there at low tide - dry feet all the way home. TNLN TFTC

Hot day and initially went a bit too high to start with. Had to hide behind a big tree to avoid the eyes of the fisher folk walking up and down the beach. TNLN TFTC

This was our seventh find on a mega-cache morning. A bit of a walk to arrive at the GZ.
A lot of long grass has obscured where the cache is located and it took a lot of searching to eventually locate the cache as you had to be almost right on top of it to see it. Took nothing and left nothing.
