Hi Pigwig2,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

After taking our dog to The Spit dog beach , I decided to walk back through the park to main beach, while everyone else drove to clean up this series. I found a handful of the southern caches a few years back, so it was finally time to clear it out. I had a successful day, finding all except the first one, Luminescence. 9km in total walk/run (including the two pier/Jetties which had great views but were a real pain. Thanks for all the caches placed.

#9, this one was also quite difficult. There was a couple muggles nearby, so I ran past it and chilled at the path to the beach. As I waited them out, I noticed one turn around also hanging around the GZ, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were also a cacher. When I had the chance I entered the shade and looked around. Finally found when I could match the tree up to a photo in the logs, this still took a while. Signed the log and avoided some ant bites. TFTC!

i am on holidays this week and decided to come down to the gold coast for the day and pick up some smileys and visit my son and family who are staying at sea world. The caches along here have been on my to do list for a long time . Today i had my push bike and i really enjoyed the ride along here. I ended up finding 6 today of this power trail and this was my first and it took a little while to spot this cache with the bush turkeys keeping me company. Thanks for all the fun

I’m getting pretty good at impersonating a statue in amongst the foliage as muggles walk/jog/run/ bike past… thankfully this was a nice quick find…

Tftc! You may need tweezers to access the log!
 
17-May-21
I hint would be helpful had to read down the comments to get an idea of where it was
 
13-May-21
I touched it twice before realising it was the cache. The bush turkeys are busy scratching. Lucky the cache is tethered in place or they’d take it away. TFTC

A lovely family outing to Artvo today for Mothers Day then a walk along the beach & fish & chips for tea, capped off with a few caches. The light was starting to fade so it was bit gloomy under the trees but managed to find the cache after a short search.
Thanks for the cache Pigwig2

Last full day of our holiday and wanted to bag some of this series. Found all that we looked for Tftc and the trail
 
17-Apr-21
Found it
 
27-Mar-21
Found it!
However (unlike the hint) it was found at the base of the tree, and is fishing wire tied in place to the tree base, so no way of moving. (Thus the hint may need to be updated.)

Out with TeamTyrrell today and on the bikes to tackle the power trail of the gold coast spit, plus a few target caches along the way. With just time between school drop off and pick up we needed to be quick and with purpose today. We parked at the southern end of the trail and worked our way to the spit before turning around and heading back.

It was a nice ride up and very picturesque, the ride back was what seemed like a never ending road. I definitely did not realise how far back we had to ride. A great ride and one I would suggest to put on your list if you like a ride.

The next in the series, the hint helped for this one, although the fork was not where i was looking.
 
26-Mar-21
Out with Chamad today to grab a few cache's on the Gold Coast. We brought the Geobikes and decided to have a crack at this power trail and a few others at the end of the spit. A great day as we managed to find all caches we attempted. Some logs were slightly damp after the recent downpour the last few days.

Diesen Cache habe ich als Teil des Teams LaMaLaMa (jetzt: Mr_Lama) gefunden.
Da sich das Team leider getrennt hat, logge ich nun unter meinem neuen Account Lærry nach.

Ich hoffe auf Euer Verständnis und danke Euch für’s Verstecken der vielen tollen Dosen!
Selbstverständlich werde ich jedem Cache einen Favo hinterlassen, bei dem es der ursprüngliche Account auch getan hatte. Falls ich einen Cache vergesse, dürft ihr mich gerne anschreiben.

Ich wünsche Euch viele tolle Caches und sage zum Abschluss: Bis bald im Wald!
Liebe Grüße von Lærry

I found this cache as a member of the team LaMaLaMa (now: Mr_Lama).
Since the team unfortunately split up, I am re-logging with my new account Lærry.

I hope you will understand.
Furthermore I thank you for hiding the many great caches!
Of course I will leave a favo to each cache where the original account did it. If I forget a cache, you are welcome to write to me.

Best wishes, Lærry
