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,

Could not agree more re cache going awol. Gave when levarea a thorough search just out of curiosity as I have found other caches that had not been found for some time, several that had not been found for up to 12 months.
Driving north to see the rellies for Christmas I encountered a traffic jam so decided to branch off the hwy and get some caches instead.
The day has cleared beautifully. I started my day in Ballina where the weather was threatening rain so it is nice to take a break in beautiful beach weather. Hmmm.... beach. Nice. So different from the cold of canberra. Perhaps I will divert a little longer.
The cache was quickly located and is in good condition. Tftc

This was TeamMehta's first cache! Hannah, William and Lincon walked across the road and set out to find the first cache, Hannah made the find and we signed the log. We found it with Grace and Ness. Thanks for the cache, it was in a beautiful spot!
Found this one during a baby sitting day, brought the kids and Hannah made the find! Found with Ness, Hannah, William and Lincoln
Saturday 25 November 2017 - a glorious sunny windy Spring day in the mid to high 20s perfect for a 6.3km walk with MuggleDaughter. Took us 1.5 hours to find 2 from 2 caches at lunchtime while MuggleSon stayed behind at the BBQ with his friends. Enjoyed walking waterside of the pristine Tallebudgera Creek, then around the rough ocean side and back across to the calmer creek waterways of the suburbs. On the way back we enjoyed grilled fish and a salad at a local cafe. Then returned to the car to be whisked off to Coolie airport to fly back to Canberra after a glorious week cycling around Southport, Labrador, Biggera Waters, Coombabah Reserve, down to Main Beach Spit and greater Surface Paradise.
Quick and easy find in a beautiful peaceful park bordering the creek waterways of the more well to do. Thx MuggleDaughter. TFTC king-fisher8.

Attempted this cache today. After so many DNF we performed a bit of cache karma and replaced cache. The X-Trailers who were with me today will be in touch with owner. GPS took us to a tree so have replaced cache there. A great little spot for a cache.
After searching the area and coming up with a DNF decided to replace in centre of tree until co can call in and check on his hide
Great little park
Should be found in obvious spot

Looked everywhere at head height and above for a very long time, then read old posts and started looking on ground, but to no luck.
Hired bikes and wended our way from Coolangatta. First stop was airport to ask if recent events in Sydney were affecting check in time. We were told to arrive 2.5 hours before our departure!!! This is a lovely spot and we found log sheet as per recent logs. Didn't have pen so took photo. NINO TFTC
Found log sheet on the ground. Have signed it in the hopes CO will accept as a find. Since we will probably never be here again. Lol
No sign of half bison and plastic bag as per previous log.
Not sure if CO is still in the game since the last cache we were at was also him with a good five dnf there too

I'm classing this as a find since we found the log book and signed it.
I'm never going to be here again so would love that smiley. CO hasn't logged on to geocaching since October 2015 so I'm guessing he is no longer in the game. Maybe headquarters can disable and open the spot up to someone that will use the area
It was a lovely spot and my son was over the moon to see a baby stingray floating in the water right beside him on the pipe

This cache took quite some time to find. We searched the tree closest to GZ, taking into account the hint. When we were unsuccessful we looked in each of the other trees, again with no success. We were about to leave and to log a DNF when one of us noticed the bottom half of a bison tube partially buried in the ground. The logbook was inside - it was slightly damp but still useable. After signing the log we placed the half bison tube and logbook in a sealable plastic bag and placed it back in the tree closest to GZ in a hide consistent with the hint. The cache does need an owner check. Thanks king-fisher8 for the cache.
Nice rio barracuda! The piece of paper was completely wet so i put an extra one in. Xs cache
As the hint said head height I reckon I searched every tree in this park. In particular I searched 2 trees thoroughly. I was about to give up when I looked at my feet. There laying on the ground was the cache. The log as previous finders have reported was damp. I replaced the cache back in the tree under which it was lying. TFTC
We were heading to the Gold Coast today to pick my mother up from the airport. We decided to head up early and grab a few caches on the way. After a quick swim at Kirra, we starting finding some caches. We stopped by this cache on our way to Bravo Hotel. I quickly found the place, however I was a little bit vertically challenged!! I sent hubby over while I waited in the car with the sleeping kiddies. The cache was quickly in hand with his added height. The seal is missing and log book is very wet but we unfortunately had no supplies with us. Thanks for the cache king-fisher8
Found it the first place I looked. Thank you. It's my 170th find and I determined to get there today
It was an easy find in this quiet little park. Tippy toes required if you are a bit short. Log was a bit wet so we dried it out before returning.

TFTC found while travelling around Australia unable to sign log as it is too soggy maintenance required
Bonza! As we would say back in Adelaide "found BFE style", left the GPSr in the car and went for a wander. A quick find at GZ. TFTC!
Parked nearby so the geoteen could jump out and make a quick find, beautiful sunny day! seal to the container is missing and the log sheet is very damp, it actually tore in half when I was unrolling it.... Sorry!

I had finally arrived at my destination after being on the road for a few days, now I had a few hours to fill in before I had to pick up the rest of the family at the airport and the best way to fill in some time is to find more cachers.
This was a quick find once I was at GZ.
**Thanks to king-fisher8 for placing this cache.**

My third find for the day, this sure is a nice spot to get a good look at the river. It was quiet around here on a Sunday afternoon so I had plenty of time to conduct my search. After a short time I soon had the cache in hand. SL TFTC
Nice little spot here.
The logsheet was wet so I dried it out before signing and putting it back.

This cache proved to be an easy find for me tonight. I got to park real close and followed the compass in the dark and then just poked where i thought most likely.
I goggled a bit to myself while signing the log. I could hear someone watching telly in the house next door... i wonder what they would think about a swarthy charachter like myself lurking in the darkness outside their house. Hahaha.. it looks so still out there on the water lucky people who live here.
Thanks for the cache kingfisher.

While on the way to the airport, took advantage of finding a few caches. Quick find with Robgold. TFTH
Nice walk from local caravan park, and cache was in hand.
Co-ords for us were a little off.

On our way to the airport today and had enough time for a couple of quick caches along the way. This one was soon located after a short search. Thanks king-fisher8 for the hide.
#121 Don't know how I found because it was on the ground! After about 2 mins of searching I stepped on something and looked down and a metre away was the cache. So placed it in the nearest tree about head height. TFTC SL TNLS found with Ashwandering
