Cairns Heritage Walk Multi-Cache
lejam: Free up the area for a smaller cache. We had to remove it local authority's found it and got scared, they said that's no place for that kind of thing. So we decided to remove it because next time we could get fined. Nobody can have fun anymore. Good luck to someone if they place one near by.
