unable to maintain

Its a nice park, but the owner hasnt actioned the DNFs, needs maint logs or my email to them. Its time for this to be archived.

put on hold till maintenance can be done

It looks very much like this cache is gone. An owner check would be appreciated.

Have to agree with the last 5 logs. We spent a long time searching and didn't find even a sgn of it. Maybe it's been muggled or removed in a clean up. Disappointing!!

Please check lots of DNF's

Yep looks like a dud all the hollow logs have been muggled.

Another disappointment at Noosa. I thought that after the DNF reported in June through to October Pinnaroo may have been checked and restored but apparently not. Disappointing.

The area looks like it's been cleaned up here, could that log have been cleared? Too many muggles at the picnic area to have a good poke around. Maybe next time!

Looked for this a couple different times, No smiles here. Muggled???

Wife and I looked for about 1/2 hour, no luck.

DNF

No success with this one for me. TFThunt cooroy scouts.

TFTC. Found this one while holidaying in Australia from NZ. Kids had been hoping to see a cane toad while here, but didn't expect this cache to be protected by one!! Managed to encourage him out of the way with a gentle prod of a stick, then could log cache.

it was easy, our first geocache found.

On walkabout while visiting family. What enthusiasm & sharp eyes they have. Lovely park.

Nice park with an easy find. Just the sort of caches we love. Watch out for the spiders!! A few muggles around.
TNLN TFTC

Nice spot on our way home from talking to the Scouts at the Trifle's Summer Sizzle

Took a Kangaroo, left a blck racing car.

TFTC

Found whilst on a trip to get some groceries from the shops. As others have said, it's about 7 metres from the listed co-ordinates, but luckily it's in an obvious spot.

TNLN, TFTC.

Found with nathanr.au - the cache was peeping out of its hidey hole and I also uncovered a large spider while retrieving the cache...

TFTC

Found it with crushernz...Eventually just started looking at all hollow logs in the area once realising co-ords were out.
In macarena, out koala.

The correct coordinates for it are as follows:
S 26* 23.867
E 153* 05.249

Maybe the cache was relocated as the old coordinates there is a hollow log but seems to of rotted completely.

as below and AHHHH mozzys

Found on the way home from Noosa, yes there is abour 20m difference from the listed coordinates. Cache in good condition, and the park was very quiet and peaceful, difficult to find in noosa! Thanks for the cache. Andrew and Maryan.

# 22 in Australia and the third one on my birthday

Spiders, spiders, dog shit and spiders! [xx(]

TFTC - Sommer-Rotschopf

Found by Mr & Mrs 1SR at 0805 on our Noosa trip. An easy find for our 600th. Never seen this park before, thanks for bringing us here.
TNLN TFTC

Good fun trying to find it, as others have said it is about 15 metres off.
Took plastic dinosaur
Put in Kangaroo key ring

Took geocoin for a trip across the world

TFTC

The cache is 20m east of coordinates.
We were about to give up hope until we found some hollowed logs.

Took: FTF Pin (Seems nobody else wanted it)
Left: Scouting Geocoin (BigBruceWine)

Found with S2333.
Left: Hoxie Scout Geocoin

Was an easy cache to find however the co-ordinants are off by about 15 metres. TFTC GC:IN GC:OUT

Quick find for us this morning of a few caches to hit today we hope.
Easily seen from a distance of 10metres away.
Wonder how long it will stay. Covered up a little with some leaf litter to hide a bit more.
- Dinosaur
+ Magnet.

TFTC

seems that some are not as stealthy as others.
muggled
replaced and if it disapears again we will change position a little

Spoke to the owner and its probably missing. We found a scrap of black plastic bag, but that is all. Didn't have any problems with the coords, had put us near enough to search where it should have been.

Had a good look for this one to no avail. I suggest you check its still there. Found some plastic which looked loke it may have come from a cache.

2 Kiwis in a park that we wouldn't have found otherwise. A bit chiily to stay long. A quick cache before breakfast. TNLN

An easy find for this one - I could spy where it would be as I approached - TNLN, TFTC.

Nice little park, Found cache easily. TFTC

Found it ... took keyring and left Chinese Coins

Number 22 for the day.

Greeting from South Africa

Urban Hunters

Easy find once I looked a bit further from where the GPSr was indicating.

GPS wasa bit out, causing a longer search than should have been required. TFTC.

Nice easy find, just down the road from Koala's where I'm staying today.

TFTC

#98

After reading the logs deciede to just look for the clue. Found quickly by Sunshine T who seemed eager to move on to the next cache spot. TFTC.

Found @ 1210 few muggles around even in the rain, found cache easily, TNLN TFTC and the nice area around it.

I was searching at GZ when I got a call of "found it" from Roz. "What's that! It can't be over there.". 18 metres away from GZ. Had to wait for muggles to pass before replacing the cache. TNLN.

Nice easy quick find, and no one around, cache exposed a bit made it even easier. T air freshner L Rememberance day poppy. TFTC
The olly's

glad I read the clue and logs. Fairly easy find once I had cleared the area of cobwebs with my face. Took geocoin, left flower fridge magnet. Tftc

Found this one pretty quickly at 0920hrs. It was definately further away than the co-ords listed but heck, the clue gives it away. (My GPS had a 16mtr difference)

I had just completed the log and was having a look around before going back to where the cache had been when a muggle came along and set up a camper chair and cracked a coldie! To top it off he was facing towards the cache area and once he saw me started asking if I was looking for birds. So off I went, without the cache, to have a chat about birds and why he sits in his own chair and not the concrete ones in the park. I noted that the bottle he was drinking from was very full so guessed that he would be there for a while.

I eventually broke free and headed off and picked up the cache and decided to take it for a drive around Noosa. I returned a couple of hours later to find that he was gone and the council workers had moved in. Fortunately as they were getting their mower off the truck I quickly replaced the cache Now that was a cache that I really enjoyed!

Took - geocoin SL TFTC

P.S. I didn't see the German geocoin in the cache as I was a tad rushed by my friend.

My wife did found this cache first. The coordinates are very exactly. We put a GeoCoin from Switzerland in it, because we are from Switzerland. It's interesting to see, which journey this Geocoin now will do.

Thanks for this cache.

Nearly didn't find it, until I read the other comments about it being approx. 30m from the stated coordinates, which I can also confirm. Easy find once you know that! TNLN, TFTC.

Drove almost all the way round the park before Mrs Bent and I walked down from up the hill.

GPSr placed us 22m away but after reading the previous log expanded my search. Thanks Cooroy Scouts, I have my eye on a few other of your caches over the next few days.

I was very happy to find this one. After a long walk (up around 25 km now) on my day of caching Noosa on foot, and a couple of dnf's I was starting to think I'd never make find #11 for the day. The GPSr again gave me a few problems but after circling around I found the cache - actually in a spot I walked past, thought it was a good spot for the cache, but dismissed because the the GPSr still said another 30 m. Thanks Cooroy Scouts for today's caches. I enjoyed the walk.

This one was offline last time we were in the area so once we saw that it was active again we put it on our todo list. There were a few hollow logs to choose from but we finally found the right one. The Mini Inks were wrapped to see some swings so they didn't take part in the search.

Took: Torch

Left: Scooby Blowout, pens and Geocoin

Out and about on foot today. Walked up and over from Noosa beach. Nabbed this one after a lunch.

Pinpointed the cache location but had to wait for a man at the bus stop to move on before reteiving the cache. Took: Commanders Scout 3 TB and keyring, Left: waterpistol TFTC

Tried this one when it was in the spider tree. Now its an easy find.

Found Ok

Easy drive up find in a very flooded park. Dropped off Commander Scout TB, took luggage tag.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH 399 caches down, 1 more needed for that milestone. I had actually given up for the night, after a phone call from those back at the Coffee Conclave, seeking my return. But, in true caching tradition, this one came up on the radar, so how could I resist. The closest I came to the cache on the road was about 50 metres, but I discovered a footpath ran down the hill, much closer to GZ, so, I rolled down with lights off. After about 10 minutes, dammit, another DNF.


Cheers-------NOT

Bundy

Found it @ approx. 13:15

A nice little park for the kiddies

Took keyring
Left figurine

Thanks for the hunt.

Found quickly with geoparents - the cache was very much exposed. Tried to cover better. Took geocoin. TFTC

Great spot near good shopping left American red cross TB

A sweet spot, great to find this kind of place in such an urban environment. The world’s most inquisitive brush turkey came running over when he saw us pulling the cache out, only halting a metre away and doing circles. New recruit, perhaps? The coordinates seemed correct for us, although we've had many, many coordinates being out quite a distance up this way. Must be some weird influence! TFTC! =’.’=

No muggles, just the very inquisitive and totally fearless brush turkey. Either he thought the cache was our lunch box or he was a guardian of it as he made a quick beeline for it as soon as we retrieved it. TFTC

Hmmm - this was fun. We searched for a while without any joy. I fired up the PDA and read the recent logs. Hang on - another set of coordinates. Let's give these a go.

Dak's coordinates were spot on - found the cache in the first spot we looked. The GeoKid was disappoined - she had to leave the park!

No swaps today. Thanks for the cache!

#18 of 27 finds on the Sunshine Coast in company with The Garner Family and HawMorFords. We found this one at 1205. This one took us a lot longer than we expected, because we found the coordinates to be out by about 12-15m! HMF finally found it, and we each recorded our coordinates. They were roughly the same, so I've attached the average to this log. I made no exchange. Thanks to cooroy scouts for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Our fifty-fourth find of a weekend's caching on the Sunshine Coast in the company of The Garner Family (Mr) and dak's Emu Mob.

We found a park fairly close by and enjoyed a nice stroll along to the cache in the drizzling rain.... which is a rare treat for us! It took quite a while to find this one as we were miles away initially. Eventually, as our search widened, TGF came up with it. Thanks to cooroy scouts for the cache. #1877

Find #18 of 27 for the day in the company of dak's Emu Mob and HawMorFords - found at 12:08pm.

There were certainly plenty of spots to hide a cache in this area but initially none of them seemed to match the description or the hint. When we did find the cache we all noticed that it was about 17m away from the posted co-ordinates. dak recorded some updated co-ordinates and will post these with his log.

We did like the location & the nature of the hide which proved quite elusive. TFTC.

Right on dusk i walked up to this for i knew exactly where to look.Only because i knew every nook and cranny whilst looking for the invisible cache in the invisible umbrella trees.....last time.I bet someone's having snigger somewhere......oooops.Nice hide scouts.

1130hrs. Nearly an April Fool here. Waited for the muggles to leave and in we went. No luck. Around and around and one final poke as we were leaving and what did I spy. Thanks Cooroy Scouts. A great park we never knew about even though we lived in the area for a while.
Took Ozcymru's Dragon coin.
TNLNSL

Wot a lark, eh!
Easy to see where the cache is hiding, but where is the cache? [:o]
Around and around and around
Finally I found the right compass point to extract the cache
Lovely and quiet around here this morning with the refreshing bit of drizzle drifting down
TFTC. Dropped in Ozcymru's Dragon geocoin.

2nd of 25 finds for the day at 7.45am. We spent the day looking for all those caches which have sprung up like mushrooms in the area. Certainly showed us why you like living here so much. Took a bit of a search but found soon enough. Took TB. TFTC coorooy scouts

Left this one to the very brave caughtatwork to delve in and retrieve the find . TNLNSL.

Nice easy find in the park

Took Coin
Left TB

Found by caughtatwork at 2:52
Ack! In there? Amongst the spiders and other creepy crawlies?
Well, I dug in and the cache was soon in hand, but I wasn't happy at the obvious destruction I was causing.
Took nothing, left ball and frog.
Thanks cooroy scouts. A great plant, but a bit too susceptible to damage me thinks.

Finally getting back into caching, great spot for this one, as it was on dusk it wasn't so easy to find but the geo hubby and I put our heads together and came up trumps TNLN, dropped off our Lady Bug geocoin to begin it's geojourney. TFTHSL

This one had us scratching our heads for a while eventually located in amoungs the spiders
Found in the company of The Nanks and Liz and Bruce
TFTC

Sunday of the big caching weekend with David from THENANKS and powellbruce. With darkness upon us we had quite a lot of trouble finding this cache. The coords were taking us further down but we decided to look in a more obvious place which turned out to be correct. Thanks cooroy scouts

Number-887 , The Sunday of our great numbers hunt with Powell Bruce and Liz and Bruce Hanish. We struggled with this one. We looked in the obvious spots and the not so obvious but still no luck. After a quick pointer from the owner we had it in hand. Dopey slaps all round for us. Thanks for the adventures and placing the cache. Cheers The Nanks

3rd FTF for the day. Where is the Green Team? Mozzies where a bit friendly here.
