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,

After 4 hours at Wet n' Wild I decided I had been in the lines and water too long so I dried up and decided to go for a 1-2 hour walk while the rest of the family wanted to keep going on the rest of the rides.
Third cache for the day, and a fitting one too given I had walked from Wet n' Wild and was at WBM a few days ago!
I was a pit weary about a few of the previous logs, but decided to have a look given I had walked all this way. I looked for about 5 mins before eventually finding it. Wow that is small and would be easy to lose.
The magnet has fallen off which is its only problem.
Oh well got there in the end and tried to replace as sturdy as I could, hopefully it lasts until the owner can replace the magnet/cache.
TFTC! Shame I couldn't just walk here directly from Movie World lol!

The magnet has fallen off the cache which makes it in a very bad condition given its a nano. It is currently shoved in place using a rock, but the rock could fall at any moment meaning the cache would get lost in the dirt. Will need to be replaced ASAP before it goes missing
TFTC. Tiny little cache nearly missed it. Definitely needs maintenance or he might be lost for ever
I parked on the adjacent street and was greeted by a huge white hound barking at me, luckily it was tethered. Soon I found where the cache was hidden but no cache...hmmm. Then I spied the incredibly small cache lying a few inches away, that was lucky.
After signing the log, I returned it to its hiding spot. I'm not sure how long it will stay there though. Needs some TLC.

We think we found it, will message to double check. Couldn't get out TFTC
My previous visit to this cache was unsuccessful but I had been watching the logs since then and noticed that others could locate the cache easily. As I was back in the area gain today, I decided to check out my previous hunch on the location.
I managed to extract the cache and sign the log.

Never quite been down this far before.
Then I understood the cache name.
A quick find and sign.

Visiting in the area and thought I would nab a few caches whilst here. This was a very sneaky but very effective hide, didn't expect it to be 'there', was the last placed I looked. Thanks Mickiz79 and TFTC
After a busy couple days with the family, it was time to head out and venture around the Gold Coast for some geocaches. Grabbed the cousin as she has never been geocaching before and off we went.
We were heading towards Pacific Pines from Upper Coomera when we noticed this one pop up on the radar. So round the round-about we go and off towards GZ. I set up the cousin with the GPSr and instructed her on how to use it and off we went. Parked up on the nearby street and off we went on foot. Soon we were GZ and understood what the cache name meant after a short search we had cache in hand [:p]
Log signed as RWD and Punky (cousin will create an account soon), cache replaced. Thanks for the geocache GeoTrioOz

Had us stumped for a little while, but considered the cache name a little bit more and came away smiling The cache was a little tricky to return, luckily I checked that it was secure, because it wasn't :/ Should be good now though.
Should also mention that we could not sign the log, as it was jammed in pretty well, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to return it! Do have photo as proof of our find though
Found this with Geo daughter jazjazzyjaz but could not sign log. Have photo as proof of find also. Thanks for placing this cache Mickiz79. :^)
I had to get past that noisy dog before I arrived at the search area and then spent 15 minutes going over the area until I found what I believe is the cache but I cold not dislodge it from the hide without breaking everything so I have left it unsigned.
The meaning of the name hadn't occurred to me, but I now realise the significance. It sure is a different view of the park from here!
All quiet today and a quick find after a short search.
Thanks to mick & michelle for placing this cache.

I had a little time to kill before the nearby event today, so I swung past and picked up some of the caches around the area. I found the parking spot (that would be the one next to the big barking dog) and made my way down the path toward GZ. On arrival, I found the cache pretty quickly, but the log was very chunky and was not coming out...
After a couple of minutes attempting to extract the log, I decided that rather than damage it, I would simply scribe my name on the top to leave evidence of my visit... [^] With that done and the container back in place, I headed off.
The log could use thinning out to make it easy to remove and replace. That will also aid in less damage overall. Nice placement of the container.
Cheers mick&michelle.

It took me so much time! Thought my compass was playing up - was sure it was in the area but couldn't find it! Geobuddy had a look around and Whallah! Found it! Log really iffy we didn't try to take out Geobuddy with pix for CO! TFTC!
Could not get a reception in the GZ. Persisted for awhile. Nice hide. After GB got some cuts and me looking at the wrong place. Good construction ! Can't sign as log is wet so sent a message to CO.
Out with Dennis999au, and our travels brought us to this one. Wandered over to GZ, and hmmm, nothing obvious jumping out here... Hold up, what's this?! Quick find thankfully, but I'm sad to report that the log is mush, and unsignable . We didn't remove it for fear it wouldn't go back in, but instead took a photo, available at CO request.
This find brings our total to 1719 smilies, thanks mick&michelle for placing and maintaining this cache for us and others to find.

Oh, dear, another Mick and Michelle cache. This could be a long hunt. Initially we thought we needed to be somewhere slightly different, but after the co-ords caught up with us we were hunting in the general right area. I went to look in one spot and JooJoo57 said I should re-check there. She'd already looked there but didn't think it was the right spot. Well, it actually turned out to be right where the cache was so we gratefully signed the logbook. [^][^]
Today there is an event on Mt Tambourine.
So I left early to find a few caches on the way.
Another little detour on my way this morning.
Of course I parked in the wrong street so my walk in was 150m
After a bit of looking here and looking there I felt this one before I saw it.
Thanks for the cache.

Geo Wife & I were heading down south for a few days away but we needed a cache to fill the gap in our calendar.
This one was published, very conveniently, just the other day and was in a great position that we could grab it on our way.
We checked around a few spots and likely camo with no luck then I followed a hunch and after drawing a blank I came up with the prize!!!!!
The cache name really fits!!
Thanks Mick & Michelle TFTC SL

I checked for any logs about 6 on Mothers Day, and asked MrsFlag if she wanted her deserved Lie-in or to grab a ftf. Zoom she was out and dressed in a flash, next thing we were avoiding a huge dog at the head of a small water run. Quite quickly she found the cache and signed our joint find as Flags, however I slipped up when I saw MM at the top and mistook it as Mick and Michelle's initials. Congrats Monkey, we will have to be quicker!
Woohoo, Ftf at 7am on Mother's day. Hmm, hang on, why am I being dragged outside instead of brekky in bed on this beautiful morning. Tftc Mick and Michelle
FTF.
Sorry to take your mother's Day present off you Mrs Flag but I found this yesterday on the way to the shops. When the notification came through I was in no position to race out as my better half was at work. But as soon as she stepped inside the door I hit the road in hot pursuit. Having lived just up the road 10 odd years ago I knew where to go. In fact as the crow flys it's only 2k's from home now but of course I had to take the long way round.
A dog at the dead end road was going off as I scooted down the laneway towards GZ but thankfully stopped once I was out of sight. It took a few minutes to location the hide but what a hide it is. Very creative mick&michelle, love ya work. As I left GZ I still had no idea what the cache name meant but something caught my eye as I was leaving and it all made sense, hahaha of course.
Thanx again for a cool hide guys.
