Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers heading to Noosa and surrounds and we stopped to find this cache. We walked down from the lookout to locate. Cache wet. TFTC

Caching in and around Noosa and surrounds, we picked up a few caches with Whitewebbs and this was one of them.
An easy find at GZ.
Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Was walking along the path back the car after reaching without success due to bad connection. Then my mum spotted a large tree stump with the cache inside. Glad I found it.TFTC
Walked with my three young children from Hastings street up 200 flights of stairs and a VERY steep road to find this. The kids complaints about the steep walk soon abated when they found the cache. Then it was a short walk down the other side to our hotel. This was our first time trying geocaching. The gps was about 7M off but the clue helped. Good fun, good exercise.
Quick find bye Rocket Sam Man and Moany Joe! Easy peasy once we had looked at the clue yay ️. Go us!!!
In Cooran im Urlaub und heute Noosa besucht. Greetings from a swiss lady.

Shouldn't have been this difficult, but Android insisted GZ was about 5 meters further into the woods. Only after we found it did the little bugger get the coordinates right. Log was full and a bit tattered, so we added a new sheet. TFTC!
I was staying up at the Sunshine Coast over the weekend as my wife has a work conference to attend at Noosa. I originally had intended to spend the morning hunting caches by kayak but a late change of plans on Friday meant I would be heading out to find caches on foot instead.
After starting the morning out at Mt Tinbeerwah I was gradually working my way back to Noosa and our accommodation for the night. After checking in the family and I headed down to the main part of town. Far too busy for my liking, with a surfing contest on just to make the place even busier than usual so I headed off for a walk into the National Park to try and get away from the thronging humanity. Even along the shoreline tracks it was quite busy dodging surfboard wielding walkers and backpackers stopping every hundred meters to try and become Insta-famous.
Once past Hells Gate the crowds disappeared but it soon became apparent that I had underestimated the time to reach the Paradise Caves and then return to our accommodation. I was supposed to join my wife at 5.30pm for drinks with her work colleagues but it was a little after 4pm when I reached the start of the Alexandra Bay beach walk. The soft sand slowed my progress and then track closures for maintenance work hampered me significantly. Reaching my destination around 4.45pm I quickly made my observations before racing back as fast as I could. With zigzagging tracks rather than direct routes and no mobile coverage I gathered I would be in hot water when I returned but when I finally received enough signal to call my wife she was not perturbed in the slightest. I like to think it was because she is so used to my adventuring by now, but more likely it was because she was happy to head off anyway, drinking with her mates without me.
My route back took me past this cache. By now I was so late that a quick stop to find this cache would make no difference. A short hunt around with the aid of the hint and the cache was located. TFTC

We wandered down to this one from the lookout. We were that busy chatting we walked straight past it. Back tracked and found spot on coordinates. Didn’t think the container was in bad nick and the log was nice and dry. TFTC and for bringing us here. greetings from Adelaide.
Attention le bocal n’est plus étanche , il a fondu avec la chaleur ! Le crayon est usé , Je n’en avais pas je n’ai pas pu le remplacer
Great find but quite confusing. Took a long time. But awesome find. Well hidden and gps was a bit off.
Maintenance: Log book if full and ripped and the container is bent and the lid doesn’t go on properly and would get wet if it rained

That one took me way too long to find.
Logbook is in pretty rough shape. I did manage to squeeze a signature on
Thanks GeoJake04 for another cool find.

I actually climbed up here with the intention of going to the lookout. Unfortunately, the track was closed to public access due to construction work, and I wasn’t cheeky enough to ignore the closure. So I popped down the track a little to pick this one up. TFTC and greetings from Tauranga, New Zealand
Owl is in Nambour for a conference and when it finished she and Eagle drove up to Noosa for some sightseeing. Then the heavens opened! Owl wasn't keen on caching in the rain, but once they'd had lunch, then a walk under shelter, then coffee and a drive to the spit, the rain stopped and Owl was able to find a couple. A nice walk and a great view, but how did she manage to miss the other one up here?
Just one more. Drove close to this one and walked the last 200m or so to GZ. This one could use a new container. It has been squished and the lid does not fit very well. The contents will most likely get wet with the next rain.
Great view
Thanks for the cache
Nice place
We have swopped a danish Lego brick with a keychain

(Cache 283) I arrived in Oz over a week ago but this was my first cache, I started doing the coastal walk in search of some but unfortunately I was not successful. After walking the length of Alexander beach I turned around and walked back to Noosa. Once back in the town and feeling a little deflated because of my poor cache success I spotted this one and headed towards the cache. I must admit I never gave it much thought about the summit not being in a straight line but the walk was pleasant as I headed away from the town and enjoyed the quiet noises of the woods. On reaching the GZ the find was easy however I did have a good look for any bugs that might bite, thankfully I didn't see any with the cache signed and returned I continued up to the lookout point and took in the beautiful view of Noosa, stunning! TFTC
Nice little walk in Noosa. The container is a bit warped, which makes the lid not seal up properly. Put it back as I found it. TFTC
How beautiful , a foggy morning . Haven't been here for 8 years and we live here . Tftc
Drove up to the lookout and then found the path to walk down. What a beautiful walk along the pathway here. Read the plaques along the way and heard lots of twittering birds too. And of course the lookout at the top. So peaceful and tranquil with an amazing view over Noosa and beyond. You can hear the crashing waves from way up here and smell the forest blossoms.
Read the hint and quickly spotted the likely cache holding structure. Signed the log and replaced it all as found. Found with SmudgeyCat DG. TFTC

Day 1 of our family holiday on the Sunshine Coast. We have visited here a number of times over the years but not for a few years. Mr KE has walked up to the Lookout a few times on previous visits but this was Mrs KEs first walk up here. We did the loop from our accommodation near Noosa Junction taking in a wander along Hastings Street as well. The cache was a nice quick find on the way down. The lid of the container could do with some TLC but the inside was dry for now.
Thanks 020304 for the cache.

Got this on our way up to the lookout. Close to the path so didn’t need to disturb the regeneration that supposedly going on. TFTC
Just another Wednesday wander with my amazing geowife KaleidoscopeCass knocking off a few more caches in the Noosa area. Happy to say this cache met all the requirements for a successful find! Tftc!
Found with geohubby WallabyTim. I love it when a cache shows me something I didn't know about... In this case, I had been to this lookout many times with visiting friends and family but I had never seen the entrance to the walking paths. But with a cache to be found, we found the path and set off. Yay, new places to explore for our daily walks! TFTC
Checked out of Peppers and headed up the hill. Container does look beaten up but it is doing its job. There was a little snake on the wooden stair landing at Peppers but it disappeared when humans approached.
Found after a stomp in the bush as the gps was having a tantrum. Yes looks like it spent too long in the sun. Thanks.
A nice trip up the Coast to visit relatives.
A nice chance to visit a few caches that have cropped up since being here last.
Geopartner stayed at the lookout while I headed down the path to this one.
Soon at the GZ and a quick look had the cache in hand.
Signed the log and returned the cache to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks GeoJake04 All good with this cache

Found on slope near path seems to have suffered from exposure to sun, needs attention, replaced as per clue
Thought I'd go for an early morning walk and pick up the two around Laguna Lookout. Even at 7am it was humid work going up the path. Relatively quick find and not too many people about yet. TFTC
Having found Laguna Lookout, we decided to drive up for the lookout, which is just stunning. Unbeknownst to me, there was another cache here only a 5min walk down the Hastings Rd track, so off we trotted! GZ was quickly found and the cache retrieved in between passing Scottish muggles. We’ve swapped a Winner medallion for the NZ tiki . Thank you for bringing us to this gorgeous spot
I had finished work a little earlier today so I decided that I should go out and find this cache and enjoy the views on such a clear day.
After arriving at the lookout and walking down the path, I was not too far away from GZ however the GPS would not settle and had me going around in circles.
After relying on Geo senses instead, it was not too long before the cache was in hand.
The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.
All is good with this cache.

Made our way up to the lookout with the kids. It was rather warm so the kids were getting tired quickly. Having this cache as a fun stop on our way up was perfect! TFTC!
Good hide, TFTC. Just for a bit of added surpise, I picked a spider up with the container!
Out at little cove and saw this on app so went to spot and mum found trackable taken and will put it in my next cache
After a very long walk, Sunshine to Noosa Beach, coffee, then took the wrong path, had to walk the road to nearly the lookout, then found the right path, Wazza9's GPS batteries died, had to go to mobile, made a quick find after reading the hint. Left trackable signed log and replaced. Thanks to Geojake04.
Tftc,
After walking to the Beach, Nana nel assured me that climbingthese stairs wasthe correct way even though the GPS said differently. I think she just wanted to get mire steps up because she is doing a mid week fitness challenge.
Arriving at GZ and the batteries died. Nana nel got it up on the phone app. and from the hint, soon had CIH.
Visited trackables.
