As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Another day, another cache to find.
This one took a little time to find as the water level is very high in the lake at the moment.

I do not do this very often but ...
This cache is mush.
There are several 'Needs Maintenance' logs on this cache with the CO not responding.
The CO has not logged in to GC.com since September 2012.

So I have removed the cache and tossed it in the bin.

I will be logging a 'Needs Archived' log.

Thanks for the cache but they do need to be maintained.

Went for a quick cache hunt with Mrs Flag, a gentle stroll after a full Saturday night took us lakeside and to this spot. The tube was exposed and easily found after recent heavy rain, however the contents were soaked wet and unsignable. Next GCer please bring a dry rag and fresh log. Tftc.

Nice easy find but the log was too wet to sign. Dragon boat event on today. Great fun if anyone wants to give it a go. Boats only occasionally roll over haha, usually with a team of novices. Tftc

Log very wet. Unable to record visit.

Wouldn't bother trying to find it!! Nothing here it's all wet. Who ever did it should have put it in a tree or something keep it high and dry. Owell off to find another

The cache is sodden. Log book is mush.

Out to collect some smileys on the geocycle today. 30km and 30 caches along the way. A few DNFs but mostly finds

The ground was a bit mushy under my wheels as I rode to this one. I was quite surprised the cache had not floated away.

The log is ruined. One wet pile of mush.

Tftc couldn't sign it was way to wet it kept falling apart

I find that there are some things in life that I'm in two minds about. I want to find a cache but the description says there are snakes about. And I like caches. But hate snakes!

And then I see the construction happening nearby here. I don't like to see an area like this spoiled with commercialism and seeing nature being compromised for the sake of lining some developers pockets. But then again these units would be a lovely spot to live.

Anyway where was I? The cache! Oh yes. Found it. Thankfully snake-free. TFTC. SL.

Found on the 10/2 with penpolpals from the UK. Left a marble we picked up from another cache and took a gaming token. TFTC

Found with mazzag taking a break TFTC swopped marble for a gameing coin

The places
Lovely spot

Nice little find

Found it. Log still soaked.
Thanks.

The daney-jones team had a mission today! To find 5 more caches to add to the tally! After reading some of the posts we had a feeling this one might be difficult to find. But after arriving at the GZ my partner in crime had her hands on the prize within seconds!! TFTC

The cache is safe & sound but all the contents are soaked including the logbook. I would have put a new one in but didn't have one with me.

Today I decided to explore Robin a and more specifically, Lake Orr. With a few hours to spare before the family woke up I ventured along the path to find some caches. This one was number 3. Thankfully I didn't see any snakes. But I was a little concerned when I arrived at GZ as there seemed to be endless places where a micro cache could be hidden. But it was a fairly quick find. Tftc

Ro wet to write on we dont have any spare paper

Had to head south for some personal business, do decided to grab a few caches in the Robina area.

Great little spot here. Took the wrong track initially, but rectified that quick enough. Quick find. TFTC.

Found it this time after a some searching. The storm clouds were gathering and escaped just before the rain begun! We were going to leave a Geocoin but realised it would not fit in the container. TFTC - TH4!

My dog and I enjoyed this little secret area. Cache wasn't hard to find! Thanks Trutta.

Searched around the likely areas within 4 meters of where the GPS was telling us to go. Could we please have a clue? Thanks - TH4

Almost found it but thn have up. Tins out it was where we thought it was. Tyftc

Found it

Lovely Walk and a quick find.

We are constantly and pleasantly surprised by all the lovely walks and parks in the Gold Coast. This area is really nice with paths and boardwalks around the lake.
The area is quite muggle ridden, so we had to pretend to be looking at the water-wildlife to get to the cache and sign the log.
Thanks Trutta for bringing us here.

Long delayed logging, signed as robd. Date may be out by a few days, but I found it during our stay in Coolangatta. TFTC.

Enjoyed the wander to get this one - we went around on circles but got there in the end ... Only the ducks and us this early morning T4TC

I couldn't park close so I pulled the bike out and rolled down the hill. Soon took the wrong path and had to back track to GZ. Found the hide and the cache guardian. Log sheet was wet so I slipped in a piece of paper and a new ziplock.
Thanks Trutta for the cache, great location

Stone the crows. Great location cache needs new paper logs are getting soggy

Hi a great walk, the log is a bit soggy and although I thought ,i had packed paper, I hadn't. So it will still be a tad soggy. cheers

Nice place place for walking and a good hide. There was no log.

Found after another cacher today. Great views in the morning and a perfectly still lake. Log book needs replacing as wet and moldy. 28/04/13 9:27 AM TFTc

This was a nice little find around a lovely little lake, and pond. The log is quite damp but still quite singable.

TFTC

Left the car at the Robina Giants and went wandering up the road for this one, muggy day for a walk at lunchtime but cache soon in hand. Not used to seeing Magpie Geese this far south. nice area I knew nothing about previously; caching is good for things like that.
cheers for placing a cache here.

continuing our walk we headed over tho this one. easy find and we also saw some Magpie geese and coots enjoying a swim.

TFTC

Quick easy find.

Left two pome muggle non believers sitting in the car dodging the non existing mosquitoes. Went for a short walk around the lake and found the rock it is hiding under. great area for a walk. TFTC Trutta.

Whint and I headed even further from the car on this hot and humid day, all in the name of a few cache finds. We were chatting about current affairs as we came close to this one. Good thing my GPSr maps weren't overly accurate or otherwise we'd have had to swim for this one. Of course, walking to GZ was very easy and when there I soon spotted the cache hide. The poor thing is getting a bit dented but all in good condition inside. Now for the walk back to the car and a drink. TFTC Trutta

Found whilst hanging out with Captain Terror... nice easy find on a very clear warm day

tftc

No. 1850- Muggle Terry and I decided to take the walk- about 1.9 Km each way in a direct line to try for this. With all the heavy rain, I didn't feel too confident finding it , but it turned out to be very simple. The last log gave it away completely and we found it in the first place we looked. A pleasant walk back in sunshine and a chat along the way- thanks!

Found with Cynark, tyfc.

Found eventually, look under rocks, hint is wrong now.

Found under a rock, hint is wrong now.

Found it after a bit of looking. Thanks for recent log hints.

TFTC - will need maintenance as the description and hint are no longer applicable.

A nice walk along side of the lake led to this cache. Took a small amount of hunting to locate the cache.
Thanks Trutta

Lovely night to be caching, we passed 4 cane toads on the way to GZ plus I walked into a HUGE spider I think the hint needs to be changed as the cache was found at base of tree under big rock! Unless someone has moved it, the cache is definitely not under leaf litter. Thanks guys.

Spent 15 minutes searching the area to no luck.

Nice Quick One, Nice Area. Found with JJBoards.

great nice and quick find. TFTC Found with The Hair Bear

Visiting from Newcastle NSW, staying with my brother in Nerang, TFTC Trutta!!

Nice little detour.

Needs new log. No pen either. Tftc

TFTC and the reason for an orrsome bike ride in an orrsome location.

O 4 orsum little park to watch the wildlife nearby. Great little diversion on way to airport

53rd find of 69 found in during the week of my holidays on the Gold Coast.

Out today to clear the Southern area from accommodation. What a great little walk, Loved the area, and cache was soon in hand as the coords were absolutely spot on. Like.

Thanks for placing this cache, Trutta. Found in good condition.
{Overall find #1432}

Found it while doing a number in this area

Missed this one yesterday when finding a few caches. There is a new page from a notebook acting as the log, but something a bit more substantial is needed. SL TFTC. cloudglider

Jared found! No problem! Needs new log and pen please.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

After a short stroll we found ourselves at GZ with the obvious hiding spot jumping out at us, we soon had added our names to the log and replaced the cache.

Found while caching with the Green Team 2. No rowers today probably all at the Olympics. A great spot. Thanks for bringing us here.

1310hrs. A good find by the better half while caching with Griffo. A nice area to visit, nice and quiet today. TFTCSL

Our Daughter from Coffs Harbour had come up for a short visit, she has been doing a few caches down her way and a few up here on her last visit so was happy to go out with me to do a few today.

Robina area was the choice for today, I had tried this one a while ago and didn't get near it because I was trying to park close but today with my smart daughter along we parked within reasonable distance and had a nice stroll to GZ.

There were a few muggles about on the main path but GZ was a MGZ (that's Muggle Free Zone LOL)

The GPS wouldn't settle to start of with so we ended up going past GZ but with the right GZ locked in Geo Daughter found it easily.

I am sorry I didn't read the previous log, and I sometimes bring bags with me but not today, so the cache log remains bagless.

Thanks Trutta TFTC SL

Log is saturated. Placed new piece of paper in but will need a bag. TFTC

Found, but log was so soggy that it was impossible to write on. Will return tomorrow and fix it up and replace the log. Lovely spot though, TFTC 7 June 2012 15:32

Nice walk and we did not come accross any snakes! Cache was quite wet on the inside, mainly due to the fact that is was not closed properly. We dried the inside and the log and closed it properly should be ok now, could probably use a new log. TFTC Trutta.

Log was VERY wet, managed to write our names but it won't last much longer. Found with kadin92. TFTC.

Nice one!

Found this afternoon after visiting Robina Town Centre for a shop to you drop trip with Geo daughter. Found on the way home. Nice little sheltered area away from muggle view. Not so worried about the snakes as we were about the big black swan that was swimming straight at us with a very mean look on its face! Thought for a few minutes we may have disturbed signets, but in the end she was happy just to watch us. Log so wet I could not sign. Desperately needs drying out. TFTC Trutta

Tube was pretty wet . Very pretty area ..evrryone was out runnin this arvo made me wish I was fitter!!! COUGH COUGH ....TFTCx

Sorry it was the 25th we were there der...

Out with Coco88 for an afternoons caching. We found the cache quickly but the log was too wet to write on....added a piece of paper to record our visit but definately needs urgent maintenance. Pretty area thanks for taking us here.

This cache formed a part of my shotgun trip to Queensland. At the last minute I got asked to come to Queensland to do some work. So I made the most of it and bagged myself 100 odd caches while in the state. First grabbed a few caches in Roma before flying into Brisbane Airport where I hired a car at around 1PM. I then cached most the time till I caught a plane the next afternoon from the Gold Coast to Victoria. At one stage I took a power nap in the back of the car for about an hour to recharge when I was feeling a bit flat. Beside that it was not till I got on the plane did I have a chance to sleep. There was very little sleep had. When I got back to Victoria I made sure I grabbed one last cache so I ended up getting a cache in 3 Australia states in one day.

I have attempted to find this cache about 6 months ago but with no luck. I returned today and saw the cache immediately, it was in plain site, uncovered on the ground. Perhaps the floods have washed it up. The log was full and soggy. I didn't even attempt to sign it, especially when I only had a pencil. The log will need replacing. I replaced the cache more discreetly.

Easy find!

Found like boss with Russian comrades

At first took the wrong track but then we were right and found the track. Nice view. TFTC

Quick and medium find. P.S you might need ttweezers to get out the log and also the log is full this cache needs another log sheet. Luckily not to many muggles today.

Found fairly easily. Nice quiet spot.

Last time I went looking for this cache, I didn’t [?]. It was late and I couldn’t see anything but swamp and long grass, so left if for another time. Today, I saw the concrete path and mown grass, so decided I’d better have a look. Spent a good while poking around before eventually turning up the cache. TN/LN/SL and admired the view. It’s certainly a lot nicer in daylight .

As hillynath said, this one was well hidden but didnt take to long to find


TFTC

Also this cache need's a new logbook. We ended up just writing down our details on a piece of paper and putting it in there.

This one was quite tough and well hidden. Didn't take too long at all to find the cache however. Looks like some kids or someone has had a small fire within metres of the cache.

Get down low and go go go.

TFTC

Nothing stood out to me that looked like it might conceal a cache, unless its burried?? Oh well you can't find them all!! [B)] Thanks nice spot.

Success at last. Took reinforcement on early morning bike ride and armed with a long stick were able to dig around and came up with cache. A great spot and heaps of birds and bird song.

Went out early for a bike ride and GPS took me to the spot but although searced under bushes found nothing. Wondered if it was still there as Wonder stuff who have found 10,000 caches couldnt find it if it had gone.Still here for a few more days holiday with family so will look again. Could owner check its still there? A beautiful spot for a cache.

Did not find it but found the spot

DNF

Got it! In between showers we had a lovely, breezy walk around the lake. TFTC

Took a look at the ground here, covered with dry reeds or leaves. If there was a small shrub here I think it's grown. I'll have to come back with a stick or two and beat about the bush.

TFTC, found after short search, log is full. Found with Hinco.

TFTC found with Hinklenator lovely walk in this area log book is full a
D needs a new one thanks for the hide
