We found this cache at a lovely place. Alas the new log book is very wet and just signable which is strange as it is so dry around here at the moment. TFTC
This geocacher reported that the log is wet and needs replacing, as recorded by several other catchers in the last 3 months
Found ,but as others reported wet and log needs replacing,not signed as tooo wet,Tftc but needs maintenance
Log needs drying stamp smudged El Sueno was signing with pen but we couldn’t get a pen to do anything but tear the waterlogged paper.
Log was wet needs drying out can you please add my name once you have done that
Thank you
Thank you
Fantastic location for a Geocache, turned into quite a nice walk today!! Cache did have water in but log was dry... Maybe a quick maintenance check?

30/9/18 I’ve been up here this week on holidays and yesterday was my day to cache. After finding plenty of great caches I realised I was one cache short from a nice rounded number...so of course I needed to get just one more. This makes find number 1525 for me and was a nice quick find. TFTC
Visited this nice quite park at dusk. Great photos over the lake. Cache all good. Tftc
In QLD to visit Stell, for a 30 year anniversary and other historical reasons. So spent a day or two or three, touring the Maryborough and Harvey Bay region. Missed going troppo Cuboree by two weeks. This is a generic log to help me catch up with the long overdue logging of my found caches. Please note that each cache and location can be remembered but due to time restraints unable to personalize each log. The date logged may also differ to day found. Thank you for sharing this location for us.

A Quick grab but container was full of water. log was ok safe in bag. i left the container upside down so it might drain
Went to the Queensland for 10 day's, landing on the Goldcoast, picking up a car rental. We spent the first 4 days staying in a nice hotel in Surfers paradise, doing all the Theme parks and some caching... While at the theme parks we got to pat Dolphins, feed Tigers etc. Then we headed up to Australia Zoo, where we booked a Tiger wall, Which was amazing, after the day at the zoo, we headed to Harvey bay, for 4 day's before heading back to the Goldcoast to return car, and catch flight home. Really loved the new Lego store at Dreamworld, went back 3 times.Tftc
Found it with a bit of help from some neighbourhood children. They asked if we were looking for the Geocache which was alluding us. They found it in the bushes (stated someone had obviously thrown it out of its spot) and told us where it’s normally located (which aligns with the GPS) coordinates. Replaced at the GPS coordinate spot. Thanks to these kids who live in the area and know where it belongs and want to ensure it remains fun for everyone.
Pen needs replacing. Notebook and cache in good condition. Cache replaced to GPS coordinates (and on information from local kids) & well hidden.
Another nice quiet area. Saw some cockatoos on the way in. A few ducks on the water as I passed. They all come my way looking for food.
A nice quick find here too.

Over visiting from NZ and staying for a couple of days in Hervey Bay. Tiki-touring around the local area and just enough time for one more before dark, so stopped off to look for this one. Wasn't too keen on the nearby guardian, but luckily, the cache was a fairly quick find and I was able to leave him to it. TFTC
Found with my amazing geo-partner KaleidoscopeCass while on our tour of Hervey Bay area. TFTC!
This was the eleventh of twenty-four finds on a mini geocaching holiday with my awesome geopartner WallabyTim. We enjoyed the stroll in the park, with Wallaby spotting a very rare type of butterfly while I enjoyed watching gorgeous little ducklings swimming in the lake. TFTC 
In Hervey Bay for less than a day on our way home from Lady Elliot Island to Sydney. Nice walk along the Links path to here. Very peaceful with ducks and lily pads on a Saturday morning. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
While we were out having a stroll through Hervey Bay this afternoon to check out the rail trail we thought we would keep on walking to grab one more cache before continuing on with beer o’clock which started many hours ago for us today, great to celebrate birthdays
We rang through to the geo-teens and they are more then happy back at the van laughing their butts off to ‘How I met your Mother’, keep looking they say. No need to tell us twice kiddies.
At first we headed down the wrong street here, we think today’s wine is clouding our navigating judgement. Next street over and we see a way in. We soon had cache in hand and signed the log.
Back to the beach now to start the night drinks. Hey we started the day out good…

Wandered over the park to GZ, enjoyed the water lilies on the lake. Stealth was required as it was very close to the house. TFTC jg047 
Checked at 09.30 hrs and cache was not in correct place. Replaced in correct position. Sorry but I am going to make this cache a Premium Member only cache. Too many times it is not replaced in the correct position.

Travelling around Australia and currently staying in Hervey Bay, Queensland for a few days .
So very hot here at the moment. Its been airconditioned caravan or airconditioned car! BUT today we changed that and decided to head out on the GeoBikes for a few hours. Interesting to see the area being transformed ready for the weekend Ironman competition.

We came out of our way to find this cache in Hervey Bay in order to drop off the Geoportal Geocoin TB32N2X. It's owner in the UK released it in December 2009 with the mission of traveling here to unite with the owner's family and then travel back to the owner. We received the Travel Coin at the swap table at the GeoWoodstock event in Denver, Colorado, USA, in July 2016. We knew that we could get it to Australia when we came to visit in the Fall. We have been taking him with us visiting different caches along the way. The owner's brother should pick up the coin in the next few days and will take it home when he goes to visit the owner in December. It sure feels good to help this geocoin complete it's 7 year quest. - Zeke & George of Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA
Found, scrambling though bushes but was unfortunate, though we ended up finding not far away
Nice little park in a peaceful corner of Hervey Bay. One person on a mobility scooter was just gazing at the lake, so successfully chilled out that she did not even see us until we were leaving, having logged our find. TFTC.
Nice walk. Saw a kid fishing and another walking dogs. Lovely spot. Tftc jg047
Yeh! our first trackable find we took 'Little King' to take him travelling to his next destination in beautiful Queensland.
