No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

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.

Just dropped by to check again, CO not an active player and no maintenance is being performed. Cache has been missing for a long time

Please replace or remove DNF

Several searches, recent find logs are not recent finds. Several logs state cache is in major disrepair but owner has not maintained.

After seeing 2 found logs I came back for another look. There is nothing here and upon reading the logs, the new finds were not actually recent. CO needs to check this one.

Found this one back in about August but didn’t log it until now.

I found it a couple of years ago because it was my friend

Found some fishing line tied to the drain, no sign of a cache or the glad bag mentioned in activity. CO needs to check this one

Found. Randomly. Saw glad bag. No container. Def needs maintanance.

Looks like rubbish. Geo bing didn't go off. Possibly not where its supposed to be? No cachè. Just glad bag.

Waste of time that one

Found easily enough was uncovered so we placed in a zip bag.

Tftc! Very fun, harder at night!

Found it on the side of the road Sister found it

Easy find

Found. Took 3 tries but easy this time

Contaiber not there needs maintenance. Log attached to fishing line

Tftc...a nice easy find

We came across your cache, Ethan, on a late afternoon before birthday dinner with patrol14.

We had a few spare caches in the boot so we took the opportunity and replaced the cache with a new log sheet as well. There was a party behind the fence but they were not interested in our activities.

Log signed and replaced at 6.40 pm on 14 April 2018. TFTC.

On our way to dinner at Georges with RoddyC but decided to do a few caches before. Found cache location and did some maintenance. SL then returned cache to its hide.

Found on 14 April 2018. TFTC, Ethan.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Lid to container is missing , Log was extremely wet.

What a sneaky hide. I can't say that I enjoy finding this type of hide but I found this one quickly.

The log is saturated and there is no lid on it.

TFTC Geokid4208

First cache of its kind that I had found. Enjoyed it , Thank you.

Hey guys it was not a hard one

Oops, forgot to log this last time I visited. Omission now corrected. TFTC

A quick find in a beautiful area. TFTC !

Quick find with the tough mothers today, signed in as TMx5. Tftc

TFTC... 9/10/17. Tough Mothers 5 today, looking for smileys. This was one, a bit unusual, but a smiley nonetheless.

Found with lisylou, bennyboppers, jemillalucy and REMSJW. We are also known as the Tough Mothers and sign in as tm x 5.

Out with tough mother's x 5 today.

Nice

Sorry for late log but just realised have not logged. Quick easy find. TFTC

A nice quick find here today.
Made our marks & replaced as found.

Gold Coast Day 1
Todays trip took us north into the Coomera area. Lots of new housing estates we visited not knowing that they existed. Even my GPS didn't know some roads.
Found the lid of the cache & decided to do some maintenance here. New container & log book now at this cache.
Thanks for placing this cache Geokid4208

Found what was left of it. Still needs replacing.

Found the top part but no log.

Cache has broken off and needs replacing.

Found it but needs replacing

Found it but it definitely needs replacing. Found with Baynton04

Tftf

Nice find and great place for a cache.
Only top part of container and wet log.
TFTC

Needs replacing .

DNF Can owner please check after recent floods think it may have gone. First DNF for awhile.

No luck for us today
we think maybe with the storms this one may have gone down down deeper and down

Out hunting caches instead of Easter eggs. Found a chocolate wrapper closeby but no cache. With so much water recently hope it hasn't vanished

Some new hides to find since my last visit in August.
I knew where it had to be but I was unable to see it for quite some time and then the eyes finally focussed on the prize.
TFTC

I though I need to go down a slope-- lucky compass corrected itself. Thanks for the cache!

Clever hide! Coords were spot on. Quick find by geo buddy.

Yay my 1st Find

Great location. Thanks

Pulling up a little further along the road, I set off for a walk and was pleased to be able to spot a tell tale sign as I approached. Just what I was hoping would be here! There are certainly some lovely large homes with waterfront access - looks like the life!
Thanks to Ethan for placing this cache.

I found myself down this way and decided to stop for a cache. This one seemed easy enough and well of course soon spotted what I was after and got my name on the log.

TFTC

Super cool little cache

A cute little find!

A quick find and sign for me before heading back to the cool of the car. Thanks Geokid4208.

This was a nice quick find due to the great cache name but it appears many people are accidentally dropping the log book as there was only one signature on a piece of note paper, it would certainly be very easy to do when your trying to be discrete with the retrieval process due to the muggle traffic. Neat hide and a favorite point from me, thanks Geokid4208 and TFTC

Quick find. As previous geocachers mentioned there was no log. I ripped a page
out of my notebook, signed that and left it in the container. TFTC.

Found it but couldnt log as canister was empty. Someone probably dropped it down the drain.

Found it, TFTC Geokid4208 :^)

Wow! Certainly a unique cache! Once my eyes adjusted to everything, the hardest part was looking inconspicuous next to the drain!

I am heading to Tweed head and have allowed a few days caching along the way from Toowoomba.
Over 2 half days and 2 full days caching I found over 130 caches.
Today is my last day caching and it is a half day as I need to be somewhere at midday.
Found after a short search.
Thanks for the cache.

Out for a day of caching with Aussie Liahona trying to get her 25 in a day and this was on our way, for some reason she logged it and I missed it. TFTC

A nice quick find that I was grateful for in the middle of the day. I added some paper for a log to tide the cache over for a bit. Cheers and thanks for the cache!

Nice quick find. Still no log book, so couldn't sign anything.

Found it and signed the log, unfortunately the log slipped and fell and I couldn't retrieve it. So sorry

Called in for a couple of caches while in the area,nice area,good cache.TFTC.

Very clever tftc

Found this at night. Very clever:-) tftc signed and replaced all in good condition.

Very clever hide i like it TFTF

I had brought my geokid to QLD for the weekend so she could catch up with her old school friend and while that was happening my other geokid and I went for some caches to get my QLD tally over 10. This was very near my geokids friends house and was a clever hide. Thanks Ethan for the cache

Out with mugglemum, finding a few caches in the area. I had a bit of an idea where to look for this one, but mugglemum was stumped. She was quite surprised when I told her that I had found it. Log signed and cache returned to its spot. TFTC

FTF 9.32pm 5th Sept - 2nd ftf for the night - trackable geodog with me. WHAT A NIGHT hahhahaha Watching the block then checked phone and NEW CACHES semi close by.....mmm phone 9% put phone down 5mins then was like stuff it lets go (phone at 12% now) and look without phone so saved 3 photos of new gz's on map so didn't need use cache app and headed off to 1st ftf at dog park around corner where I met a toy poodle over a year ago confirming I should get one too!!! And today mocha and I went there together to find.
2nd FTF THIS CACHE: Neighbours lights on unsure if they were looking had look at tall object then thought DAHHH "LOOK DOWN" hahaa bingo cache in hand back to car didn't see anyone on balcony and headed off OFF TO ANOTHER FTF hehehhe that became 3rd ftf and 4th ftf thats unpublished in same spot lol

Thanks for the cache good size good location away from houses.
(Logged after home and phone back on charge)

Nice little catch

Published

A quick find not sure how long it will last TFTC

Found easily. Tftc

I thought I had half a chance at these two new caches seeing as there still wasn't a log an hour and a half later but I just couldn't leave any earlier. I was out the door as soon as I could and it still looked good until I reached the other one in the park and the logs came through. Oh well, no ftf but it's still a great night to be out in the wild.
So after finding Bush box I headed around to this one. I parked down the road quite a way so I didn't look to sus and wandered back. I had a fair idea going by the informative description and sure enough their it is. I love this type of hide, it's just a shame there isn't more like it. I quickly signed in a replaced as found.
Not sure why GT thinks this one won't last, I think it'ill do just fine.
Thanx again Geokid, here's a favorite point for your effort
