Pandanus Cove Mackay, Queensland, Australia
By Myra Howerd on 16-Sep-06. Waypoint GCYBQQ

Since the owner of the cache hasn't contacted me, I'm reluctantly archiving this cache. If the owner wants to reinstate this cache, they should contact the reviewer that first published the cache.

Finaly found it after long last. Walked all around it a couple of times as the coordinates are a little out but knew we were in the right area as all the clues fitted.
The cache was full of water so spent some time to dry out as much as I could. Lucky I had collected the clues before they started going missing. Thanks for the hunt hope it is up and running again soon. TNLNSL.

This cache still exists but unfortunately a couple of the the clue links are missing... We'll fix those before we put it back online

Seached quite thoroughly without success Evev walked upside down under the beam but to know avail
People still think I am a council inspector checking for white ants
TNLNDNSL BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND THE 1stWAYPOINT

Well, I searched and searched, extensively, for a key tag at this location. I must have checked 50 metres of walkway, from both sides, on my back looking right under. But no luck. I couldnt find it. I must have spent a good hour there.

One female passerby asked, "Have you found it yet?" which raised a suspicion or two that she may have, in fact, been the cache owner.

Anyhow, the wrap up is, can this be checked to see if the tag is still there.

I later found out what I was looking for, as a tag showed up in another cache I located.

Cheers

good hunt maybe a little easy my second find so not bad love the mystery of further clues will be tailing them for sure thanks for the op

We were not going to let this one beat us although at times it looked like it might. We thought rain was going to prevent us from being able to collect all the clues but the sun eventually came back out. We also had to revisit two caches we had previously found but one was now in a new location which we didnt have the co-ordinates for so it was phone a friend time lucky for us we knew where to find Thumbs up to Mackay so after gathering all the clues we needed we headed off to where we thought the coordinates were going to take us. But alas life is never that simple the old GPS was having all sorts of problems getting strong accuray reading at one stage the lowest reading we could get was 50 meters then we noticed the big black clouds coming our way again. We searched the area the GPS was taking us but there was a lot of moving rocks, pandanus leaves everywhere and it was all a little damp which made it very dangerous and we all lost our footing at one stage. The co-ordinates had to be out. So out came the phone again for some friendly advise to check if we were in the right area. Yep, we had the right area. But we were told to go back up the beach a little bit which we did and basically put our hand straight on the cache. But we had to sign the log quickyly as the black clouds were moving in fast burdair jnr took a liking to the cute green caterpillar so he grabbed that and we left two carabiners. We were all dripping wet by the time we got back to the car but we had all had fun tracking this cache down and finally locating it even if there was a little help from Map Monkey in the end. Thanks for the cache.

i going to have to come back to this one i have some clues but not all so i'll continue at another stage.

thnks fizzer

...well as I was in town...it had to be done
So called MapMonkey and grabbed the rest of the clues.
(Pity those who have to do them all to find this cache especially Dooghan's "Thumbs Up".)
Yes I do approve of the final locale [^] me thinks worthy of a traditional stand alone !!!
Anyway fitting that as I started this one with MapMonkey, that it was completed with him.
Well was going to leave a little hammerhead shark in the cache ... but little mapmonkey (jnr) decided he wanted to leave it somewhere else nearbye [?] so TNLNSL

Finally finished this one after several weeks, inspired by a phonecall from Dandent to do some caching whilst he was in town.

Nice GZ even though it took a couple of minutes to find the cache due to a vehicle detour and the final coordinates placing us in clear ground however in the end it was obvious. Dropped in a magnetic object for Dan as he didn't have anything with him to trade Collected one of the cars (boy was that a struggle with my 2YO to decide on only one car to take).

Thanks for the location.

After finding Hafenblick and getting the clue from there, I thought I would make a start on the cache on the way back. A nice Sunday afternoon (15/10) and muggles everywhere. All out for there afternoon walk or run. I got to have a little look but couldn't find it. So back I come Monday (16/10) morning after 9am. No muggles around this time. All working hehehehe. Found the waypoint after a bit of a search only to find out I missed one of the clues the day before.....Grrrrrr. Also found out another clue is only about 500m from where I was staying......double Grrrrrr. I was starting to think why didn't I find it yesterday. Anyway I had 2 and only 3 to go. Found 2 without any trouble. Had to make a check on one of the locations anyway. Went to get the one I missed the day before, only to find that the road is closed. Oh well there is always tomorrow. I get up at 6 am on Tuesday (17/10) and found it without any problems. I put the clues together and head off to the cache. I must say I was impressed with the cache location. A nice little area. Found the cache in 30 sec.

Took Simpson's figurine
Left 2 x cars

This was our first of the day on a rush trip in Mackay.

Have only found the first part of the multi at this stage. Just wanted to log a thought.

This looks like a really enjoyable idea, we have since found another clue but still more to go. we Enjoy the fact that we didn't have time to finish it but still have to keep the clues for a return visit. Kinda makes the excitment grow with the wait.

Thanks for this one Myra.
Look forward to completeing it in trips to come.

Went out with MapMonkey to have a look at this one ... found first waypoint (coords out a bit!) but it is there ...posted these ones - might help others.
Not too sure if this is a multi ... me thinks more of a puzzle.
Anyway wasn't sure what was install till we found this one.
Good idea - but disappointed that a number of caches would have to be revisited ... lack of time and all.
Couldn't help myself - had to go and have a look at another tho .
Going to be awhile before I get a chance to complete this one.
thanks for the tempting challenge.

Couldn't find the first WP......visited several times without success. Will be back with reinforcements
