One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No owner maintenance has been actioned despite the logs. If the CO could repair / replace the cache I would be happy to return an find however if not the area should be free for other users.

Cache needs maintenance container has a big hole in it

I put broken container on wrong cache

Long look couldn't find

Not there

No luck for us. Seems to have gone missing......

Seems to have gone missing......

Had a look under the bridge but didnt see it so assumed it was gone and left

No joy here today unfortunately. May be worth checking in on. Nice area and worth a visit just for the view

Logging a needs maintenance as I agree with MacPacFamily who also mentioned in her DNF log below that we believe we found where the cache may have sat, but there was nobody home today.

Hopefully I am wrong!

Will gladly return. Have added this cache to my watchlist.

TFTC!

Looked for the cache this morning and was unable to find so brought back a couple of friends who had found it before and it's definitely missing.

Found area where it looks like it might of sat but no joy this morning.

Got it once muggles had passed. Tftc

Had my 13yr old som get this one.

Found

Gps a bit off. Although quick find

Neat little hiding spot. Tyvm

a nice find before heading to the airport

TFTC

Nice easy find tftc

Today we headed towards Coloundra, dropping into some of the many new subdivisions looking for geocachers.
After a lunch break by the beach, we followed the coastline for awhile, admiring the ocen views as we continued our hunt.
We found some very inventive caches in some great hides, in many places we have never visited before.
Thanks for placing this cache mozzafamily

Reissdorf and I spend almost a month in Australia. Our long awaited holiday.
After visiting Sydney, Ayers Rock & Kings Canyon, Melbourne and the Great Southern Touring Route, we arrived in Queensland and did a road trip from Cairns to Brisbane.

Quick found.

Walking the coastal path from Bulcock to Dickys. Nobody around so made a nice quick find. TFTC

Thanks for the cache, love visiting new places

Had to Hide from muggles while getting this one. Ha ha fun!

Lots of muggles around and clambering was required-good fun!TFTC

On a roll today - think I'll quit while I'm ahead! TFTC.

GeoWife and I are enjoying a stroll along Shelly Beach. Took a little longer than should have as I had put too much cred in my first GPS reading. Eventually spotted it in the end...

TFTC needed a bit of dexterity but a smile in the end.

Log coming soon

We were lucky. No muggles around for an easy find.

Nice easy find in a gorgeous location. . Thanks

Despite terrible weather for much of today, there was some clearance this afternoon so I took off fast to see if I could wrap some targets before we head home tomorrow. This was first on the list, and as I expected, there were no muggles around this afternoon, though some crazy surfers turned up as I was leaving to check out the cyclonic surf.
I squeezed myself into position and kept the cache dry as I signed up. TFTC in a great spot here.

Todays mission was to round up some caches along the Caloundra coastline, after grabbing fish and chips for lunch at Moffat beach mum and i headed off on our geocaching adventure.

Upon arriving at the GZ there were a few muggles around, so instead of waiting them out we proceeded to continue our walk along the path. When we returned there were still a few muggles around, so we sat down on the nearby step and enjoyed the cool breeze. After there was a break in the muggle activity, i jumped into action and headed under. Was a quick and easy find. Found it in the first spot i looked. TFTC

Decided we'd head north for a sampling of the caches on offer around the Sunshine Coast area today. Got off to a late start & didn't really kick off until after lunch at Maroochydore but still somehow managed to put another 20 smilies on the map. This was #19 for the day!

This is find #1297 for us.

The Parking Gods are definitely with us today. On a busy Sunday by the water we have managed to get parking as close as physically possible to every cache so far.

Anyway, the cache! As we approached we were pretty sure we knew where we would be searching for this cache. Accurate co-ords proved us right so, after waiting out a few cycling & dog-walking muggles, we soon set about the task of the actual find. Geo-mamma was quick to action but, after a soft spoken warning from Geo-pop (& a look at the photo of the big python), soon settled into a less hectic search. No, actually she left it entirely up to ME! LOL ...
Soon had the cache in hand, log signed & all returned as found.

Went for a stroll down to the beach to take in the view, & a few pics of the massive ocean liner that was passing not too far from shore, before heading back to the airconditioned comfort of the Geo-beast & on to the next waiting cache.

TOOK TB. TFTC mozzafamily

Had to be careful of muggles, TFTC! Leaving a geocoin here

Quick find. TFTC

Found by Sam- Jones clam

TFTC

Another beautiful spot! TFTC

TFTC recovered and returned. Signed the log playing the troll whilst gf called out that the coast was clear. Good fun!

Quick find just a bit of a scramble tftc!

temptation to pretend to be a troll all day...

Having a pleasant walk and now that it is closer lunch time there are fewer muggles than previously. NINO TFTC

Glad I ha the geokids for this one! Far less suss and good for small areas thanks for the cache

found it - thankfully no muggles around!

Again a few too many muggles to attempt at 7am on the school holidays! Without the geokids with me anyway..,

Quite easy apart from the muggles! Maybe bright red shirt wasn't the best cacher camo!

TFTC all in good order here!

TFTC!

Took some physical effort. Picked up trackable. Thanks

Lunch Break after business Trip to Currimundi. After break and before heading back to Brisbane afternoon walk in this beautiful area, enjoyed the sun and the hunt for some caches. Left TB TFTC

Had to wait for a muggle gap and then dived under. While signing I heard someone go over. Tftc

Up the coast from brisbane for a pretty fathers day lunch found this one no probs at all watch out for muggles high traffic area took incredible hulk left random business card from last cache tftc

Camped at Landsborough and drove to Coloundra, to do some caching.
We visited some lovely areas, with a good variety of hides.
Cache was found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, mozzafamily, for us and others to find.

Holiday in Queensland
Thanks for your caches

Pickup the travel bug
Left a travel bug

Out caching with Comback
Thank you for the cache

Holidaying in Qld and decided to do a days caching with gwd.aussie .Busy walkway Great spot TFTC

Tftc. Picked up JBE4YX.

#7860. I made hard work of finding this one. I spotted a small snake on the wrong side. Given it was about forearm length and little finger thickness I didn't think it would do me much harm. shortly after Troodles spotted a likely cache cover on the other side. TFTC.

We stopped off here on the way back from a visit to Caloundra and Kings Beach to make sure I'd get my cache of the day. Both GPSrs indicated the cache should be over there, but terrain rating indicated it was probably going to be here.
When StreetWalker spotted a small snake over there, no way was I going close, so had a peek at the more likely location. Saw something interesting and directed StreetWalker to it for the retrieval as I didn't want to get my trousers dirty .
No sign of whales today, but we did see ships. And remembered to leave behind the TB that wanted to stay in Aus. TFTC.

Continued to walk the Caloundra coastline from Golden Bch to Dickey Bch collecting caches. Cant think of a better way to spend these sunny winter days exploring the area. Great boardwalks, bridges and facilities along the way! Millions of muggles also enjoying it too! TFTC!

[green]Find #3169[/green]...

Out and about grabbing some 'local' caches as I try to keep some sort of streak going...

Nice & quiet this afternoon... No whales but found this well hidden cache, stamped log & replaced... Fantastic views along this stretch too...

Thanks for bringing me here mozzafamily and for the cache...

Hah... got you! I followed my GPS twice and took the geoterrier for cover but really wasn't sure which way to approach. Third time lucky... chose late afternoon on an overcast day. A few muggles with puggles but they seemed as determined as I was to get on with it.

Tftc, mozzafamily!

#245
Gathering more smileys in Caloundra with IolantheK on our second play-day. Another one of those? Oh boy, buddy has offered again to go and grab the cache! Some days I wish I could shed 10 years or so and be a bit more agile again... Ah well, in the end we had the cache in hand and the log was soon signed. It is amazing though, that people chatting while walking their dogs don't seem to pay attention! Cachers can blend into the background very well. TFTC mozzafamily

Out for a play-day with Dutchie1950, and we're back up at Caloundra again [^] We made use of the parking suggestion and found ourselves with a short easy walk to GZ. The dog walking muggles didn't even notice us, so I just went in for the search. And the cache was in the first spot I looked. TFTC, mozzafamily.

I had the pleasure of being chauffeur driven around a few caches by my local guide Konie today. I was very thankful of having my guide act as Lookout here. So I could safely stay out of sight while I signed the log and muggles passed by. Then I popped back out when the coast was clear.
Thanks mozzafamily for the cache.

Enjoyed finding this one, geohubby found cache and shouted - 'is it alright to come out' and nearly frightened a poor lady to death who was walking by!!! TFTC

Took a while but found after getting down and dirty

Quick find on a nice spot. Thanks

Great

Number 10 for the day with geomum and dad, who have just joined the caching world (ccsaunders)

Either my GPS is playing up or the cache has moved but I found it 10mts from coords. TFTC

Quick find after banging my head ! Tftc

This was lots of fun. TFTC !!!

Out with thehairbear and the smallest got to retrieve the cache.

All returned as found and not a muggle in sight.

Found it with Konie, nice spot.

TFTC

Couldn't resist some night caching on foot. Beautiful night and the beach was nice. Geolze did the honours on this one. No tbs. TFTC

Found as bikes whizzed past overhead.tftc

Found it, no problems for me...?

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

did a swap, no tb there though. tftc

Stopped past and grabbed this one after breakfast. We were expecting more elevation for the whale watching, but still a nice spot. Easy find and the kids were happy with it. TFTC!

Ps no TB in the cache today.

these are tricky, muggles storming around everywhere. Lucky there were enough of us to keep an eye out while the cache was retrieved, TFTC mozzafamily. No trolls were harmed during this cache retrieval.

another fun one with us being lookout while igotahunch went in. TFTC mozzafamily

Not trolls were harmed picking this cache. Pretended to take a photo of a lizard till Flora gave the all clear for muggles. TFTC Mozzafamily

Nice easy find in obvious hide
tftc

As I came up to GZ I had a pretty good idea where the cache would be. After getting myself into a better position I found the cache easily. I signed the log and then replaced the cache as I had found it. Just as I emerged a muggle appeared from nowhere, she just smiled and kept on walking.

Thanks for the cache mozzafamily

On as day trip to Caloundra. Though we would drop a tag off that I had picked up the day before. A little covert searching was required with a couple of muggles sitting on a balcony overlooking the GZ. Beautiful spot. TFTC

I must thank the local council for putting in a staircase to this cache. I saved a lot of scrambling around.

I checked to make sure there were no muggles around before I ducked in for the find and then managed to get the cache back in place before the next muggle got too close.

TFTC

Another cache to find after attending the event today.
Safe and sound in it's hiding spot.

Found with Wombles today after attending the nearby event... the penultimate cache for us today... a quick find.... replaced and quickly made our way back to the car in the hope of getting one more before having to leave the area

tftc

cache find #1195. We were nearby walking along the beach, until it was time to take the detour to the cache location. Found quickly. Then back to the beach walk. TFTC.

Fifth find on my moonlit seaside cache hunt. Very interesting doing this one at night, with a torch, with no lookout person. I'm not sure who was more scared, me or the poor muggle! Picked up a Travel Pirate to keep my company for a while

Found it #40!!!!
