We found this one even though it's inactive
 
19-Jan-14
It would seem this cache has gone missing again and due to the fact that for some time now it has not been in the location we originally placed it but it ended up in a spot that was a little bit dangerous to reach we have decided it is time to archive it.
 
17-Jan-14
I didn't have the patience for this one. Must be hid well
 
14-Jan-14
Searched for quite a while for this one, but came up empty handed. Hate it when that happens!! We needed to keep moving though - had to get to Mackay. Will have to try again another day.

[blue][size=5]Found on the NQ leg of our Round Aust trip[/size][/blue]
[green] In Airlie for a few days and went sightseeing in the morning, we drove out to Shute Harbour and parked at the top car park so it was only a short walk to the lookout, which was good cause there was no way I was going to pay for parking, LOL. The GPSr took ages to settle down which gave us plenty of time to check out all the options of where it could be hidden, and there were plenty, but in the end, after a bit of a scramble down the slippery, steep, rocky slope and having a scout around for a while, I managed to spot it sitting in its little hidey spot but somewhat exposed. Managed to sign the log and place back without been spotted by any muggles hovering around above.[/green]

[orange]The log book is full, as mentioned by previous finders, but we did find some space on the scrap of paper. [/orange]

# 819 Time again for a C+2M Camp-Cache adventure. We went north last time so decided to head south this time, with the hope of getting a couple of the littoral caches. We also had some other planned adventures as well.

With fading light, we decided to set up camp and have a feed. It was then decided that if we collected all of the local caches tonight, we could make an early start heading south. There was also a low tide forecast for 11:30 so the island cache in the bay could be our first littoral cache.

Nice drive out late at night with next to no traffic. At GZ, we had the place to ourselves to conduct our search. Champs searched the same area at least twice before big monkey noticed the picture in the gallery and there was the cache.

Visiting from Colorado and just now getting a chance to log my caches. I met up with some friendly Aussie cachers who offered to take me around to some of their favorite spots. Did this one in the rain on the way to Coral Beach. The log is full, but I was able to find a spot. Sorry that we didn't have any paper on us, but hopefully the net cacher can add some. TFTC.

17-Nov-12
Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo. Found in the last place we looked - spotted from the lower deck if that helps and you are reading tis is desperation.......

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

Thanks to burdair_3 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

By the time we found this one the Duck was complaining bitterly, does anybody realise just how close to the ground (or in this case steps) that it's belly is. Duck reckons that there are almost as many steps here as the great wall of China, not that Duck would know as it has strong aversion to anything Chinese once that it learnt that Peking Duck was not a dating agency. Thanks for the cache. left TB 'GPS'

We hate these micros and they are often a DNF. Mr M looked for awhile for this one while Mrs M kept watch. Eventually Mrs M joined in and spotted it after awhile as well...she could just see a bit of colour that looked out of place. A very good hide and we are very happy to log it as found. Nice spot as well. Had lunch in the picnic area back down the hill and spotted a lovely bright blue butterfly there. Took a photo of a lovely brown butterfly with big white spots that the Ranger had no idea what it was!!?? TFTC

My lookout failed to tell me that three people were coming up the steps and so one gave me a very strange look. Still cache found and safely replaced. TFTC.

After our amazing weekend in and around Airlee we took a drive out to Shute Harbour.
This cache was the first stop, glad we did as it gave us an excelent view of the area.
