Good Day,
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Had a pretty good look around but weren’t confident from the start.
Will try again when we are at the coast for holidays in December

We came across your cache, mozzafamily, while here for a couple of nights R n R.
This was not a nice quick find. After resorting to a PAF we eventually found a cache on the ground. The replacement from 2014 by OrionJ. There are only four spots left to sign the log sheet: someone will need to bring a replacement log sheet for a Bison tube shortly - we understand the COs may no longer be caching. We have placed the cache back up off the ground. About 3 meters behind Woodyrothwell's "inanimate object".
Log signed and cache replaced at 12:04 PM on August 22, 2018. TFTC.

Well it has been a very frustrating morning out with Mrs SP. Our 3rd DNF on this trail!!! My caching mojo is definitely back at home in Brisbane. Let's blame it on the hungry mozzies I think I'll come back again another time though, we've had a lovely walk and it's a nice place to visit. TFTH mozzafamily
Thursday. Kerry from Slow Puncture ventured out with RIO up the Sunshine Coast..
This was our sixth cache we went to find today (just Mrs RIO and Mrs SP today) – no luck for us at all however, in finding this cache. We both looked and looked – we checked all the obvious spots and checked further afield also. After a no find at I Spy, and this one, it seemed as if only the mozzies were having lots of finds today. Heaps of mozzies around, but still a very beautiful area and well worth a visit. We weren’t doing so well in this little area, with only 3 finds out of 6 so far.
This was the 3rd of 4 DNFs we had on this trip.
Thanks ***mozzafamily***, for showing us this place anyway, hopefully we will be back!

Yep, you guessed it - we too checked the obvious spot just in case! The cache was found shortly after a little further afield.
#14510. I didn't find the cache in my initial search (the mozzies had no trouble finding me though). I carried on down the track, and managed a DNF at I Spy. I turned around there and read more logs on the walk back to this cache. That gave me a better idea of what to look for, and once back I widened my search area a little, and was pleased to find the cache. TFTC.
Today I had between school hours to nab a few smilies to make an upcoming milestone, and the area around Caloundra was the target. Lots of construction nearby, making parking difficult. At GZ container found after a short search.
Thanks **mozzafamily** for bringing us here, this find makes #3982. Discover our TB

It's always hard to search further afield for a cache when there is an obvious feature close by. You are drawn to the obvious like a fly to poo and it hurts to leave. I think I checked the obvious twice and maybe I'm only arguing with myself, but I think I checked it a third time. It sounds like I have a poo fetish.
After crackin the sads, I expanded a bit and luckily spotted a ring of hope and destiny. That ring was attached to the cache and I glanced back at the obvious feature and rolled my eyes at it. It didn't reply, which I suppose is expected when you are inanimate.
Log signed and I continued my journey up the dirt road, not before getting in a quick nap. Rock on! tftc

What better to do on the school holidays then to bundle the munchkins in the car and head out for a days caching adventure on the Sunny Coast We met up with 1MinnieMoo and 1GiantPanda along the way.
Once at GZ it didn't take long to spy the container in a cachey looking location. I left our scribble and replaced as found. Hmmm, probably should have mentioned that to 1MM

A day up the coast with NyssaFlutterby and geokids, and we had decided to park one car at one end and take the other car to the other end so the kids were happy to get as much as we could out of our caching day without getting too worn out... and we could fit in more caches.
This was our first in this walk, and Nyssa had found it first but didn't say. I thought she'd stopped to look at logs and I looked in a particular spot and didn't find it, then looked over at her and realised she was rolling up log to replace the cache - where I had just looked! Thanks for telling me Nyssa!!

Today we ventured down to Caloundra, this was a tiki tour following the caches along the way.
Scenic views of mountains & seascape. Passed through some new subdivisions as well, some seemed quiet upmarket.
A good variety of caches & hides found.

We were being beaten back by hordes of blood hungry mosquitoes , had almost given up after being beaten back to the path by the hordes yet again when the cache location revealed itself, Yay SL:TFTC We will be back to follow the path to the others in the series when the hordes have left and we can cache this neighbourhood in peace
3 geocachers and 5 geokids. Took us a while looking in the obvious places then found a previous log that have a nice little clue. Found it!!!
I am out and about caching today around the southern Sunny Coast region.
At one stage I had almost found them all around here.
Today I nearly made it just over 40 finds for the day. [^]
A quick find for me today but I had to go back to the car to get my pen. [^]

Out and about this morning with the GeoDog.. Hitting this little guy up for a second time round. After looking at the obvious spot, I unexpectedly found this nice and quick. Didn't go on to find the other 2.. it was a tad bit too hot for the puppy's poor feet so I left after this one.

I ran in here with some afternoon hours up my sleeve... arrived at GZ and headed straight for the first obvious feature. Ah, no... let's try something else.
An easy find at GZ 2! All good inside though outside is naturally getting a little rusty. TFTC.

Yeah we've found a little bush walk, in we go discovering a new area, amazingly geo hubby made this grab quickly, we could see it could take quite a while!!!
Or did he not make the grab on his own so fast...did Captain Geoman come into play here...

I took the chance today to look for some caches (I had to return early from the family holiday, due to work).
I got to GZ... and started to poke about. Nothing. I thought I'd never see eye to eye with this one... then... what's that thing poking out? The cache! Not stumped after all. Nice walk. But plenty of mozzies!

Luckily the coordinates took me to the right spot to find this sneaky hide.
I signed the log and then heard muggles approaching. There was nowhere to hide so I just walked out of the bush beside them and said hello. The male muggle gave a grin which indicated that he thought he knew why I had been in the bushes but I didn't say anything to him so he walked off with his thoughts.

Didn't find it today. I'll be back to try my luck tomorrow when bub is a little less grumpy
**Smilie #4120**
Another foray up north to secure a few more smilies.
A nice quick find.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
Left standing sentinel over GZ! LOL ...

GPS a bit vague for one reason or another - but despite a good look around, no sign of this easy cache. Lovely area.
#1336 This cache was a quick find but the thread is stripped causing the log not being able to be signed. Thanks for the hide mozzafamily.
I couldn't decide whether to log this as a DNF or a note - to make myself feel slightly better about the afternoon I'm going with a note .
On the way into the park I was pulled up by a distressed woman who had lost her two precious white puppies and asked me to keep an eye out for them on my walk...as I approached this cache she was still lurking in the background watching me and the forest areas for her dogs, so I decided to grab this on the way back.
On the way out of the park it was pitch black and I was walking entirely by my phone torch. I'd noticed quite a bit of lovely wildlife and scared a few creatures off in my searches earlier so when I moved my phone and saw a couple of pairs of glowing eyes I was both a tad started and curious about what wildlife was close by this time. As I moved the torch/phone back to the eyes two black staffies came bundling up to me with the owner slowly following along in the darkness behind. This was around GZ area and I just decided today was obviously not my day and didn't really look.

TFTC found quite easily but the log is soaking. Have put our initials only as can't write on it anymore. TNLNSL
Quick easy find, but log book soaking and full. Managed to scrawl initials on it, but it desperately needs new log. Sorry didn't have any paper to leave as a log. Tftc Tnlnsl
Quite day in the Caloundra area, thought we'd see what we can find in this forest.
No problems locating the cache.

Out and about with MinkosDes this fine evening, he had messaged me for a quick adventure so naturally I couldn't resist!
We located a cache that we had both yet to find and jumped onto the trail! Doging spiders, rats and bats we got to GZ where I made the find!

mtill17 and I we out on an unexpected cache hunt tonight. We had come out to Caloundra to find a newly published cache and thought that whilst we were out here, we might as well grab a few night caches!
The part of actually finding more caches to hunt tonight is really hard due to the fact of finding caches that both mtill17 and I have both not found. This one was lucky enough not to be found by either of us and got some attention tonight.
I have done all the other caches along this trail though was surprised to find that for some reason I had not found this cache? It's not that I forgot to log it, I don't actually really remember actually looking for it whilst out doing the others... It is very strange indeed.
After a little ferreting around whilst avoiding the spiderwebs and being awed by the amount of bats around tonight, we soon came up with the cache.
Thanks for another cache mozzafamily. This cache is in need of a little TLC as mentioned by others, a few parts are a little worse for wear.

Wandered around under the trees for a while, cursing the multitude of possible hiding places. Decided to take another reading, looked down and there it was! TFTC
Stumbled on this walk as muggle not too long ago so had to come back to claim the caches. TFTC!
This was the last stop for the day even though it was the first one I looked for on this trail. I had taken a good look and not been able to find any more then a possible piece of the cache, so a message to the CO and a photo and I headed off on the track.
At the far end of the trail I checked and had a response, to add to this I ran into a previous finder along the way and got some more information. Although it really does appear that it is gone. So having confirmation from the CO, I replaced the container with one that I had on me, as I was getting back near to the car.

Very impressed with how this one was hidden. Had me scratching my head for a while before I found it. TFTC

I had a previous finder with me telling me it's here, it's here... so I looked here and it wasn't there. So I searched a little further out, ignoring my not so helpful helper until we came up trumps.

Another find on our cache mission today. Had attempted to come once before, but had kids with way too much energy and muggle workers close by .... But today there was only the sounds of the school children on the oval of the near by school (no one to see us) .... Very tricky cache hide. I liked it!!
Had a cursory glance on the way in but the gps wouldn't settle so continued on along the walk and stopped again on the way back. Our phones and a difference of opinion about the actual gz so we searched in our separate areas. Searched high and low, trying to think of tricky places to hide a bison tube.
Even crossed the track but that didn't help. Almost about the give up when got another clue from a previous finder's log - still took ages but finally I was looking at a spot I'd already searched but from a different angle and there it was, just hanging there in plain view. It sure is well camouflaged.

We had decided to try to complete the Difficulty / Terrain challenge and chose an area on the Sunshine Coast to target at least twenty-five different D/T combinations. This cache has the added advantage of also helping us with the Average Cacher Challenge so it is an extra bonus find for us today.
Thank you for having placed the cache for everyone to enjoy mozzafamily

Out and about today grabbing caches, us Parko's were on a mission
After a nice short walk, we were soon arriving at GZ
Took longer than we would have liked, but found the cache after waiting for a muggle walking his dog to pass.

The 13th day of our Qld holiday & it was spent relaxing… Plus a few caches to start off the morning
The last of our walk through the area before the long walk back to the car… A quick find after searching for way too long at the last one!

Out on a play day with barbbowman It was a day for making my map all smilies, and Caloundra is our main area to clean up.
One last little wander to grab three more caches before we head home to Brisbane. Should've followed the GPSr from the start, as we spent a minute or so checking out the wrong spot TFTC, mozzafamily.

Misled by geodaughter so even when she spotted it, I didn't see it as she told me we were looking for something else! Quick find! Tftc!
Hehehe.... bones74 and I were doing a bit of argy bargy on the track to see who could get to gz first.. what a great giggle we had. Thanks mozzafamily
Had no idea these walking paths were here. Nice spot. The mozzies were rather large and aggressive here though, had to hold onto Egg Zachary before they carried her away
Pretty quick to find, I'm the first to sign on the back of the log sheet, TFTC!
Out with some extended family and decided to head out to do this series. This was the first one, and one by one we all found it eventually.
Thanks mozzafamily

Found at 1425.
A short walk along a very hot road brought me to GZ.
I looked under the big rock, under some logs and finally spotted the cache dangling in the breeze.
Great hide and really in plain sight

Sooo.. everyone else refused to come with me today. Too hot they all said! Found this cache easily & stood in the quiet listening to the birds. Yep, this is just what I needed. Thanks guys.
After being stuck inside for a week with a very sick family we decided to go for a little walk and grab some caches. Hubby and I took the geotoddlers and off we went. This one was nice and easy find once I followed the gps to GZ instead of stopping and looking where I thought GZ was. TFTC
