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.
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.
Did not find it again after an extensive search by all team members. Due to 4 "No Finds", contacted owner and received permission to re-establish cache.
Micro Cache re-established late 18 Dec - bring your own pen.

[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]

After I havnt been caching for 4 months now, this one was my comeback ! And it worked pretty well ( what means easy) despite the darkness this night. Thanks a lot for the cache - and for showing the nice lookout!
This is a nice area – found after scratching my head awhile – looking for a different type of cache – anyway walked around the bay – thanks - TFTC / TFTH / SL

Last for the day and found in the dark. Excellent co-ords meant we soon spotted the hide. Then we walked down the steps and wandered round the deserted wharf area before climbing back up to the van. Thanks.
On our first visit on a ship departure we had not enough time to find it, but today we had it after a short search. The logbook is full and wet!
Log needs replacing as it is wet and full as well. Great cache with great views
What a great location with beautiful views, this cache didn't take too long to find. GPS was spot on GZ. Signed log and replaced. Log book need to be replaced. TFTC
# 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.
Found while we passed the time before our ferry to Daydream Island. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful spot. We have visited several TBs, the one gown in the inventory was not in the cache.
After an overnight road trip from Townsville to Bowen to Airlie this was the first find for the day.
It was another very hot day and it look a bit to find the cache but it was anoint effort Cat spotted something that only a cache rewound see and Bear retrieved the cache.
Great spot for a cache. Thanks for bringing us here.

Found with junior seekers (one was born in 2006 - the year the cache was placed so that was a bit exciting). We looked and almost gave up until we cheated and looked at the photos. TFTC.
Found this one pretty quick. Not much room left in the log and will need to be replaced soon. Tftc.
During our Honeymoon in Australia, we visited this nice Place. It was a very amazing and beautiful Trip. We found this Cache after spending some days on Long Island. Great view!!!
Greetings from Germany.

Two travelmates and me found it. Nice spot and no muggles around. TFTC!
Came from the lower carpark, and spotted it directly with my 'i am looking for a geocache eyes'. Took a little TB Travel GPS. The logbook is full. TFTC.
'It's a long way to the top if you want Rock n roll' Just about sums up where this one hangs out. Plenty of clues around for where this one is. No one around so had plenty of time to find it. TFTC
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'
At last found this one. A good hide. Took us 5 goes to get it.
First time I had tried since the stairs were rebuilt.

Got this one quickly before getting on the ferry to ReefWorld, Hardy Reef, for a day of snorkelling and diving. This one was fairly well exposed so when I returned it I covered it up.

Looked and looked but could not find this one. Must be well hidden. Maybe next time we come up this way. Thanks for the beautiful view

here we searched quite a while.... we read all logs and it helped: Mr. foolish5 finally spotted it! the view here is really nice, thank you for leading us to this lookout. TFTC and greetings from switzerland!
A fun and muggle free cache. Mr geo spotted this on and I let him enjoy retrieving it. Beautiful clear sky's to enjoy Shute H. Thanks for the cache and the great views.
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.
Found with geohubby on our honeymoon. Co-ord were spot on. He did the spotting from the stairs and I did the retrieving. TFTC. Cheers, Coral Sea Cat.
geo friend spotted it, geokid retrieved it, I signed log. we discovered that someone else was caching in the area on their honeymoon
Found after a bit of scrambling and searching - didn't believe the GPS at first, but it proved to be spot on! Hiding location spotted by geowife.
Thought we would have one last look before leaving this beautiful place, after 2 min cache was in hand and log signed , all good, TFTC.
after searching for a good 20 min we had to give up on this one , nice spot though.
Drizzly drive on our 'day off'. Cool spot, gf spied it and I did the grabbing mission. TFTC took aussie.dog tag
easy to spot, little more tricky to grab. Not sure i went about it the best way, Great spot though. TFTC.
Quick find while on Honeymoon. 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.
Dropped off the racing Starfish that travelled with me from South Africa. Travel safe.
