In the 1870s there was spasmodic farm-selection activity around Palmwoods, and a wave of new settlers in the Maroochy region in the 1880s led to tree clearing for rich farm lands for fruit crops. When the railway line was opened in 1891, Palmwoods became an important outlet for produce, particularly citrus and strawberries.
A few houses closeby and constant passing road traffic at peak times of the day mean stealth is essential.
This cache was originally an egg - it's original nest was not sturdy enough and has long since gone. After frequent falls, the egg really cracked up so after some makeshift repairs it was put in an outer container that was more robust and guarded by a spider. This new container then became missing in action, so a small less interesting container was the next replacement. This one then vanished, so the next current container was medium-sized with some dirty camouflage. Again, the container disappeared, so a "camouflaged" mint tin replaced. A skinny hand was helpful to retrieve that one. (Old hint: not scrambled but perched; then hollow above an embrace. Retained in description for posterity)) More misfortune has befallen this cache in October 2019 and it's tree hide has been mulched to ground level... Version #6 in another tree. Fingers crossed this one is not marked for execution as well.
