Searched for ages before reading the logs only to find lots of dnf in a row. Not overly happy as walk a distance to get here.

DNF Cache seems to have gone missing. Spent half hour in rocks and deep grass within a meter. Been missing for over 6 months. Maybe time to retire.
Sad. It is a lovely beach with rockpools and nobody around.
Thanks for the rock beach walk, Merry Christmas 2017.

Over visiting from NZ for a couple of weeks and Tiki touring up the coast and around. Trying to find as many as possible up here north east of Bundaberg before returning south. Stopped here for the earthcache and then to look for this one, but despite searching for all around, no sign of any cache could be found.
So, like previous cachers before me, I would guess that this cache is now MIA. Thx anyway

No joy for us here tonight. We had a good look around but came up empty. Thanks for the hunt Phillipsart 
Went to Caretta today hoping to drop off some TB's and do some maintenance (Replace log and add some swag). I had found this cache about 6 months ago and had an idea where to start looking and also read the logs before heading out.
I searched about a 10-metre radius of where I had found it previously and had no luck locating it. I am pretty sure this cache may have been muggled or stolen.
I would have replaced this container but it is a little out of my budget for the container. I will add this cache to my 'Presumed Missing' list and keep an eye on logs posted to see what happens.
Thanks for the location, still a lovely spot and I will be bringing [@HappyJoJo](http://coord.info/PRNYEQ4) back when it is replaced.

We looked for this one without success, it is in a nice quiet area, not a person within sight. Thanks for bringing us here.
a bit disappointed, paper is wet and not usable... also nothing to swap inside.
Found it needs maintenance log is very wet and pretty sure has been moved from its original hiding place as is somewhat out in the open
In Bundaberg from Sydney in advance of our visit to Lady Elliott Island. No luck for us here today and we gave it a really good shake. The overgrowth defeated us. But we enjoyed our time here. Cheers... Gaztek
Great location, area slightly overgrown, paper in tube needs replacing
???????Found it?????
Maybe someone's idea of a joke.
Searched for2 hours.
Kept coming back to the same spot
This is what I found (see photo)
No ammo tin

We found this cache on an evening walk. Awesome container but we got mauled by mosquitoes!
6368 Fond by baby&Mrs gopher at 1145. We were surprised to find these facilities out along the shore line. A very pleasant walk across the mown grass and a quick find. SL Tnx Phillipsart
What a lovely little beach. A nice quick find at the end of the day. TFTC
Took the hard way in and found the easy way out. Kids loved the tin. Would never have found the beach if it wasn't a GZ.
2nd find of the day!!! Harder terrain than the first. Tin a bit damp, but in great condition. Geokids 3 it
After an early morning walk through the turtle trail to get several geocaches, I headed home for some lunch, I then read about this being an ammo cache and I couldn't resist.. My first ammo cache!! And what a beautiful location!
Hunting on the trail with Sykkid and Partygoomba......
This was the last stop on our hike today from Bargara to Mon Repos and back along the beach.
YIPPEE!! This was the first time I had seen one of these cache containers, which made me and both the boys excited when I pulled it from its hide.
We walked along the boulders and rocks from our previous cache find, and it was a real challenge as one of our group was wearing thongs. After our parkour type journey, we also stopped to get some info to try and get our first earth cache.
Absolutely awesome view, nice challenging terrain and a great cache all together, you get the first favourite I ever gave out. Geat work.

During our short holiday to Bagara, and visiting Mon Repos, we enjoyed lots of sightseeing, awesome weather and a bit if caching. This one was found at the end of an km walk around some lovely tracks and beaches. Thanks for a cache to highlight this lovely area.
We went the wrong way to the cache ! Lol . Walked off trail and ended up in the long grass about 90 metres away from it. As I'm horrible with directions my partner decided to take over which was a great idea . He climbed the rocks leading to the cache and found it pretty quick . We were so happy to have eventually find it even though we both ended up really sunburnt and I broke my shoe in the process haha but definitely worth it!! Such a beautiful beach !!
Found this one while trying to find our way to the earth cache. Sadly no TB in the tin.
Left a few swaps.

Returned to camp for brekky after an early ride along the turtle trail (caching as I went of course!) before setting off once again for a short walk to GZ. Somehow I had removed my pen from my kit so didn't have one with me when I found this cache. By this stage I had already discovered the log was very damp, so left it lying in the sun while I collected a writing stick and also did the nearby Earth cache.
By the time I returned to sign the log was much drier but now it is a little bulkier than it was. No worries after signing duties were completed I returned the cache to its hidey hole in a better condition than I found it.
Many thanks for placing this cache phillipsart. I doubt I would have found this area without a cache drawing it to my attention.

Captain Terror and I were on a 5 day road trip visiting various Toastmasters Clubs up the coast with a friend that I shall call Snow. We were starting at Hervey Bay then heading to Rockhampton before coming home via Gladstone, Bundaberg and Maryborough. Today we were making our way back to Brisbane from Bargara.
Captain Terror wanted to find the earthcache nearby and I wanted to get this cache so I headed over here as he started working on the earthcache. However I am terrified of walking around rocks like this as I have an irrational fear that I am going to bitten by something. I couldn't quite get there alone so I called the guys over and they walked with me to GZ where the container was found. The guys left me to sign my name in the logbook and replace all as found. Thanks for the cache Phillipsart.

While camping at Bundaberg with Geodad (Whitey Wiskas) and Geodog (Scruffy) ...
We just had to go out and find a few caches ..
All Good .. TFTC ..

Cool cache case. The two 2 year olds with us loved looking for the treasure in the rocks!
Found all good, very wet inside, log book is damp. Two travel bugs inside which we didn't take this time as we are not leaving Bundy area atm. Will keep an eye on it to see if they are still there before our next trip 
We arrived at GZ in the fading light, and armed with the clue thought this would be straightforward. How wrong can you be? In the rapidly fading light with black rocks, and long grass for a while everywhere we looked was just a black hole.
And then we got lucky as we turned in the right direction and the cache was easy to spot.
Thank you for a good sized cache in a great area for a walk to view the sunset.
Our second cache in the fading light.

Wow. Great spot. The biggest cache we've ever found. My dad came on his first find and its my birthday!
Out for a morning stroll after breakfast and found a little path through the pandanus trees. TFTC
Found after a visit to the Turtle reserve, had a little walk along the beach to explore the Earthcache and find this cache. TFTC
Nice size cache. Took a little bit of time to find the exact location...really need to perfect the art of reading a gps!
phillipsart I found your cache Caretta on 21/01/2016, 1:34 PM. This is my find #1710 and find #11 today. A nice large cache for a change. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN
Thanks. Needed to be stealth due to muggles. Water damaged- log needs replacing
Nice and large. A bit of water ingress unfortunately, but was still able to write in the log. TNLN. TFTC
quick visit to Bargara on our way south
picking of some puzzles and uniques caches along the way.
had to wait awhile to have a look for this one ...
so killed some time by doing the Caretta earthcache
cache fine - but log was a little damp
still managed to leave a mark
