Going Loco

Going Loco Found 30 th November 2010 @17:58. Find 5.

Found this one in the same gardens as "Sweet to Swallow"

This one was also a double puzzle. We navigated to the first co-ordinates and then had to answer a number of questions about the display to find the co-ordinates of the actual cache.

This cache had a particularly mechanical theme with old machinary and engines from the towns founding industry being at the crux of the puzzle and the cache.

As well as taking us through more of the park we got to explore all this great old machinery. It is very well maintained and a great history.

The cache was quite small with just enough room to fill in the log.

Placed it back in situ for the next searchers.

Sweet to Swallow

Sweet to Swallow Found 30, October 2010 @ 17:36 Fourth Find.

This was my first multitask find. The first co-ordinates led us to a location where we had to do some counting and some maths to find the second co-ordinates.

These led us through some beautiful gardens to the cache site. The cache itself was full of water and the log book was too damaged to write on. I did however take a souvenir, this little orange guy you see in the photo. I left a pen and a nylon wrist band.

Fun to be taken to another part of our community that I have not visited before.

The name has historic connotations to the community and I enjoyed reading the history and the genesis of many of the place names in the area.

Circle Work

Circle Work Found 24th October 2010 @17:00

This was a great find because not only did I find it quite easily but it took me to a new part of the area where I live that I had not seen before.

I did not know that there was a boat ramp just three kilometers from home that puts you into the Trinity Inlet.

If I am brave enough to risk getting swallowed by a crocodile I will take the kayak over and put it in from this ramp. I am keen to cast some lures into those mangroves.

Filled in the log rummaged through the collectibles but didn't take anything.

Ravizza Rest

Found 24th October 2010. Second Find

Ok I admit it this was so easy to find, right in the spot indicated, but I had to go back a second time and scratched around for about twenty minutes before my wife finally found it.

So there was a lesson for me in this. Be a bit more careful when looking. Don't have one of those man looks like when you are going to the pantry to find the salt.

This was a nice spot. I have been here a number of times and never realised there was something else going on.

I filled in the log and put the cache back for the next person.

I did take a little while to sit on the park bench and listen to the singing coming from the church over the road.

Camels Playing Bridge

Camels Playing Bridge: Found 17,October 2010 @09:38

My very first cache find. A little disused wooden bridge in Edmonton Far North Queensland.

This was very exciting to make my first find. Although I had driven over the new bridge many times I had never stopped to explore the old one before. I took the opportunity to walk over, around and under the bridge and got some great photos.

The dogs (dare I call them Geodogs) enjoyed investigating the bridge and got a little bit of exercise.

The cache had lots of little trinkets but I didn't take anything. just filled in the log and put it all back.

This was a good easy introduction to Geocaching.
