Hi king-fisher8,
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 45 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 45 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.

Looked for a while, then looked at the activity log and at nayddan photo of the tree, found the tree but no log in it any more. Needs a new container and log
Unfortunately as confirmed by previous geocacher there is only a log, unprotected and very sad looking. Needs love!

As an added surprise our geo kid was excited to find a gecko on the cache

Staying at Tugun for Christmas week with Fmaily and thought I'd do some caching. Cool hide and nice one for kids. Still has no lid and had great difficulty signing the logsheet because it was very wet. Didn't help that my pen wasn't working properly. Signed as 27/12/19 CM9614. TFTC!
Found easily; exposed & very visible with no lid. Will message C.O; I left it upside down to keep log dry & put some camo in place from nearby...T4TC
Checked out of my motel and had a few hours to kill before my flight home so ticked off a few more smileys on the way back to the airport. Co-ords spot on and without much available camo, a really quick PnG. As mentioned in other logs, lid is missing which meant the cache went flying when a large and strange looking bug poked its antenna out as I picked it up.
Quick find, Travelling home to Brisbane from Coffs Harbour completing the mystery at the museum as I go. TFTC king-fisher8!
As previous posted mentioned the cache needs maintenance - no lid and the log is full. We signed HD,MG,KA for this one
Found it but needs some love. As mentioned log is full and container has no lid. Not very hidden.
Quick find here, cap is missing and log is full. I didn’t have any waterproof paper with me so didn’t add any. This one could use a CO check. TFTC!
Nice quiet little park and a quick park and grab. Note that cap is missing from container but still managed to sign log sheet.

Early Morning at work which means an even earlier trip up the coast to get a cache. Quite this morning. No lid so definitely needs maintenance soon. Signed log and replaced. Tftc
needs maintenance, no lid.
The locals knew what we were looking for and waved a "Gidday" at us. We didn't have what is needed to "fix" this container.

Very quickly had this one in hand and log signed.
Quick play for the geokids in a very clean and quite park

This geocache was quite easy to find. Someone may have put it back just sitting there. It was an awesome geocache though! Thankyou
Out for a day of caching with Mrs RoddyC. We searched a couple of spots before moving to the right one. TFTC
Successful find after updating coordinates with Selva Girls

I was looking in the wrong tree till I saw the alternate coordinates in the logs. TftC.
**# 21312** Found on our 2018 mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond. 
Another fine Winter day for a trip to Tugun while at the Gold Coast for a week.
Lots of muggles around today and a few more good safe hides.
It was over 10m away, found at .188 - .461 as per the clue.
Thanks for the cache king-fisher8,

The box was wet inside and more of XS-size.
The coords are more than 10 meters off.

Nice park and grab. No one in the park which helps a single older male lurking around playgrounds! TFTC
Even with all the DNFs, He-Squirrel still wanted to give this cache a try...Upon approach we were happy to see the park free of muggles, but then hovering around the presumed GZ was a geoMum and her 2 sweet geokids, currently on the hunt! Joining in on the search, we deduced that the cache was last found about 12m from the GZ coordinates, and after only 5mins in the joint search He-Squirrel was handing the small container to our geokid accomplices for some treasure swapping
Found with some help of a lovely pair of geo cachers that stopped by while we were searching! Kids left a little something
