Disappointed not to find this one. Gave it a good go I spite of a muggle fisherman bring close by. He was more interested in tossing his net.

In the area for a couple days visiting family and thought i'd see if i could find the local caches. No luck with this one. Very quiet and no muggles...but no joy.
 
27-Oct-17
Local people said me that there was big flood in march this year, so, maybe the cache was been taken by the water.. (?)

A dnf for us. We spent quite a while here, broadening our search area and narrowing it again and again, we had the place to ourselves so could be as obvious as we wanted. Still no luck. Thanks for bringing us here tho, an interesting place to visit.

25-Mar-15
On our [trip around the world](http://www.hoppundweg.piekar.de/) we came to Australia as well. We started in Tasmania, rented a campervan in Melbourne and went up the Eastcoast to Cairns. Then we drove all the way to the Red Centre. We finished in Darwin. We searched many caches and found almost every cache we searched for Wink. Thanks to all the owners of these caches. Now, 2 years later, we recognized, we will never be able to log every cache seperately... So: Sorry for this standard logtext and thanks for one of the caches, which accompanied us on our journey.
 
02-Mar-15
After looking for a while I read the posts and realized it had been moved. Found two wasps, two geckos and two frogs before finding a well hidden cache.
For those with phones only look approx 21mtr NE from the GZ. This will be defunct once new GZ details or logged.
 
09-Jan-15

Staying with all the other grey nomads. Had the bonus of having a Camp Draft here as well. Finally got this one on our second try only after getting other cords from the green team. T.F.T.C.

Took us a while but got there in the end Smile Meg and Jamie

Firstly the gps had me looking in the boat garden but after reading a couple of previous logs and seeing the co-ords in one, I soon found the cache. Tftc dandent
 
29-May-14
Found it easily with coordinates from green team. TFTC
 
09-May-14
driving past
a couple of days after the Green Team had checked for me
now to get those cords adjusted
 
06-May-14
10:15:00 AM. After looking for this one yesterday we got a PM from the CO informing us the co-ords were out and telling us the area it was hidden. So on our way out of town back we went for another search of where we had already looked. Found it, so shows we didn't look hard enough yesterday.These are the co-ords that we took. S 22 20.535 E 149 31.448. It is well hidden. The tide was out both times we were there. Thanks dandent.
 
05-May-14
Searched high and low. Have the co-ords been updated as per last log? If the owner would like to pm us as we are only here for another day and would like a smiley.
 
06-Jan-14
note sent to Geocaching to assist with coordinate update
 
02-Jan-14
revisit to place new container.
the original stash is probably no longer suitable
... which is a shame as it suited the name of the cache
so have relocated nearby
big tide today
 
27-Dec-13
driving south
dropped in for a maintenance check Surprised
and couldn't find it ...
the stash site had been reworked and the cache nowhere to be found
relocating / resetting in a couple of days on our return trip

Very interesting place, perhaps more so when the water is out, as you get to see the shape of the area.
I saw a photo of a fish caught near GZ the previous day, evidence that water does come in Smile
thank you dandent for the cache, nice little twist Smile

Lots of mud but not much water. Enjoyed the view.
Good clue made for a quick find.

Thanks dandent!

Great spot!

Just how much water do you want, it's lapping the river bank today. Needed to replace cache container as the lid had split open. TFTC and leading us of the Bruce Highway with the endless roadworks that have plagued us for hundreds of kilometres.
 
24-Nov-12
Once again a high tide, must be interesting to see this place if it has 6 m tide, sounds like a bit of abseiling to reach the waters edge. TFTC
 
21-Nov-12
Dandent we finally made it to this cache. On a work trip with 9 coworkers, we did this as something to get out of the meeting room. TFTC.
 
18-Nov-12
Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Cache found in the last place we looked, which was as usual not the first place we looked. Great location. There is some water in the creek. Thanks for the cache guys, we love your work.

This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t and/or a Blackberry 9700. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK and/or Cacheberry.

Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo. Awesome spot early in the morning. No one was around..... no crocs even though the sign said. Hell, there was no damn water!

A day of caching from Koumala to Boyne Island. A road trip with a chance to stretch the legs is a good thing.

Thanks to dandent and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Called in today on the way North, checked all OK. Big GrinBig Grin gave some TB's a visit
 
31-Jul-12

Never been to St Lawrence before passed through in a train over 50 years ago. Had a look around town then chased up the cach had a cupper and continued on our way south. TFTC.

This was next on the list. I was a bit concerned when I pulled up near GZ and found a backhoe driver doing what he does best. However, some subtle actions and the cache was in hand. The log is falling apart - so I took it upon myself to replace it. The cache owner can contact me if they want the old log back. A very interesting area. TFTC dandent Smile
 
16-Jul-11
Was a bit muddy today after the rain last night. The log paper could do with replacing.
 
10-Jun-11
Found it on our trip to Gladstone for the Ulysses Club Odyssey. The Reluctant Companion decided a side trip to St. Lawrence would be a great idea and how could I refuse as my GPS was telling me secrets.A quick find in this historic area.There was quite a bit of water there. TNLN TFTC.
 
17-May-11
Found easily using the clue. No crocodiles today but plenty of water and a few workers on the railway bridge. Well worth the drive off the highway
