Hi flagmarshall39,
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.

Couldn't find it, spent about 20mins looking everywhere. Not sure if it's been washed away in the recent rain
Exploring locations around the Gold Coast and this is one of the caches we targeted and found. Thanks for hiding.
I’m glad I was down here early as it took me a while to locate this sneaky bugger. Not to mention the mozzies that threatened to carry me off also! But all good here, log very close to full. Thanks for the cache.
What a lovely spot! Nice placement too! All is good with the hide. The log sheet has 3 spaces left. TFTC
Out doing an adventure lab in the area, stopping at the few unfound caches I have along the way. Lots of passing traffic early in the morning, but that is not a problem here.
A nice quick find thanks.

Out today looking for jewels up north. Found the cache after widening the search. TFTC flagmarshall39 & Mrs Flag
Spent a bit of time here , even read some logs, but once we spied the hiding spot, knew instantly where the cache would be .

Caching in and around Coomera to Oxenford and surrounds, we picked up a few caches with whitewebbs and this was one of them.
An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Tough one but really didn't want another blue face so persevered. Paid off after rechecking a little deeper. TFTC
No luck today. Lots of undergrowth and debris and mozzies! Will try another time.....
When I pulled up nearby a mutt over the road started barking and he kept it up for the 10 minutes that I was in the area, I was waiting for someone to come out and say something to it but no one did.
I strolled around looking for a hide near GZ but nothing stood out so i looked around and spotted another regular hiding spot and soon spotted the cache.

All good here.

Today I was on my way to a target cache for its DT rating but saw this was on the way there.
Nice little park, I walked around a bit before spotting a possible hiding spot then made a quick find.
thanks for the cache!

Today my target was my 6,000th cache and I had been working on a D5 in preperation for the milestone. I needed 2 more finds before the milstone and then once I had done the milestone cache, I headed up to Mount Tamborine for another visit. I still have a few to do up there, so I hope to get back up there before I head home next week.
First one off the ranks today, lots of mozzies here, but thankfully no one in the playground so had the place to myself to search.
Thanks flagmarshall39 for the placement of this cache[^]

This was my last find for the day before turning around and picking up the rest of the clan.
A quick find in a nicely tucked away location. I was pleased that the park wasn't in use as it meant I could attempt it.

We were on our way home from WetnWild with some daylight left to find a few caches. my diversion for the muggles was changing my babies nappy on the clean grass nice little park
Please do check the log if you doubt me, but I have discovered some caches I've forgotten to log and this is one of them. My sincere apologies for logging so late, - that is not like me at all. I can only guess that finding this two days before Christmas and then with Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and going away camping on Boxing Day it somehow got overlooked. I don't know why I couldn't have logged it in my spare time, lol. Zooming in on satellite view I can remember this cache though and remember we did some CITO while we were here and felt good about it. Thanks flagmarshall39 and MrsFlag for this cache and for bringing us to this nice little park. Cheers and happy caching......[^][^]
No muggles or dogs to contend with today. A fairly easy find and love the story in the description! TFTC.
Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 53.754 E 153° 16.993
Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 53.771 E 153° 16.978
Distance from original: 131 feet or 39.9 meters.
After having been muggled by, well, muggles, then dug up and mauled by the neighbours dog, it was time to move this cache.
In my descriptions, pretty much every comment is somehow a clue however having to shift this spot has driven me up the wall, I must have rocks in my head to persist since its been seen and destroyed so much. PLEASE exercise extreme STEALTH when looking for this cache.
New coordinates are S 27 53.771, E 153 16.978. Happy hunting.

Checked it today, its been muggled (or Doggled).Disabling till I can find a new container and spot.
What a fabulous background story.
I'm not sure what happened here but I couldn't find this one today. Cache blindness? I did annoy a little fluffy dog for quite a while though.

Parked nearby, and we all walked towards GZ, then suddenly I saw something! Off I raced! Nope nothing here! I turned around and saw that king-fisher8 had raced off when I did and had found it. Looks like I was too quick off the gun. TFTC! - Very in the open hiding spot ... not sure how long it will last / how it has lasted so long! Maybe we didn't find it in it's original position?
Out geocaching with geoson & friends today. Great day with plenty of laughs & finds. Thanks for a fun filled day. Beautiful area on the northern Gold Coast. TFTC
Early start for our unique difficulty terrain challenge day of 25 caches and this was the twentieth one today.
Out with a great bunch of geocachers.
Headed into GZ and 2 of our cachers decided to have a race to it.
Of course one of them won and the cache was found.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks flagmarshall39 & Mrs Flag All good with this cache

An opportunity to complete a D/T challenge in the Coomera area with RoddyC, Team Benders, King-fisher8, Jackxena62 and Sezzz.
A couple of lads were leaving the park as we parked up and walked across to the GZ. Quickly found and we were on our way. TFTC flagmarshall39

After the rigors of Dead Reckoning's Treasure, this cache was a bit of a relief. Park, walk, grab.
No 19 of 25. Found at 3.55 pm on 16th May 2015. TFTC.

I haven't jumped fences so much in years. Do yourself a favour and park off the main road and take a stroll through the park, that was murder on my knees
I didn't have a lot of time to spare this afternoon so needed one not far from home. Having just moved here temporarily I have lots of caches around to fit that criteria . The terrain rating was what made me choose this one. I had no trouble seeing it as I approached and when I went to retrieve it I realised it was actually sticking out a bit. Signed the log and made sure I replaced it nice and snugly.
Love the backstory
