No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived.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).
I respectfully submit this cache to be archived. Plenty of dnf's and maintenance requests with absolutely no response from cache owner who is located in a different country. This cache location has obviously been abandoned.
Will CO please provide for a maintenance visit here? It appears the cache is no longer in place.
This needs to be checked by CO and confirmed if in place. Hasn't been found for over 16 months except for one person claiming it was damp hard to sign yet the log is suppose to be a water proof log so find would be questionable
It is obviously suppose to be near the pole with the traffic camera but due to Dan Murphy's being built it has disappeared
Yep I agree with previous log entries. I am familiar with a wide spectrum of devious hides and found none of them. I am sure it used to be a nice hide due to all the favs. Thanks anyway TWS.
It was starting to rain when I had a quick look for this one. I had seen the recent DNFs but this cache is in front of my favourite shop (Uncle Dans). I gots to have a snoop and also search for the cache. No luck today
Been here before and thought I'd take my brother to the GZ for him to find, but instead we found this, no cache holder though! Will definitely need replacing, but perhaps after the construction is finished as it cannot be accessed properly.
I worked out where the cache should be so as the gate was open I ducked in and retrieved the cache which I put on its support so it is accessible from outside the fence. Thanks ThewonderStuff.
If it is where I believe it to be I could not legally access it today.
Have sent a more long-winded message to the CO with explanation on what I attempted and location information.

will have to try again when there not as many people around hard to look stealthy in peak hour traffic
7480 Cache Found
Back into Caloundra early this morning to get my driver's licence and resistration transferred over to new new address. And what better way to lighten the mood than to find a couple of caches on the way home.
Parked just up the road and walked back for a quick find. Nice cache
Thanks for the great cache and adventure TheWonderStuff
This Day in History
Thursday, February 17, 1972. : Production of the humble Volkswagen Beetle surpasses that of the Model T Ford.
The name 'Volkswagen' which translates literally as "people's car" is the name of an automobile manufacturer based in Wolfsburg, Germany. The VW Type 1, better known as the Beetle or Bug or Käfer (in German), is a small family car and probably the best known car made by Volkswagen. During the Beetle's production which commenced in 1938 and ended in 2003, over 21 million Beetles in the original design were made. One of the most affordable cars, it established a firm reputation for reliability and sturdiness.
On 17 February 1972, the 15,007,034th Volkswagen Beetle rolled out of the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, surpassing the previous production record set by the Model T Ford, to become the most heavily produced car in history.
2005, A 1965 Fender Stratocaster guitar belonging to Jimi Hendrix sold for £100,000 at an auction in London. Other Hendrix items sold included a poem written two weeks after his appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival which went for £10,000 and the first Jimi Hendrix Experience's single 'Hey Joe', signed by all the band sold for £2,000.

This area is now a building site surrounded by metal fencing. Tink its gone. Clive and Janet UK
Cache all good here. Found okay and signed log book. Maybe previous finders didn't actually find the cache! TFTC.
Unable to find think it's missing found snap seal bag so left hawian flower to replace it
Often shopping at woolies nearby and noticed how quiet the roads and shops were for a Sunday afternoon. Great opportunity to grab this one finally. Great cache container! I think we must be getting better at the game as it suprisingly didn't take long to find it (for once) TFTC!

Thursday. Slow Puncture was out with the aim of finding a particular cache to qualify us to log the "Can you spell OCTOBER in October?" Challenge. Having found that one, we stopped in for some lunch in Caloundra, and then went in search of some randoms.
We saw this one from about 300 metres away! Not the cache, but the location! We pulled up and went straight to it, signed and returned. Gee, were WE there at the wrong time of day, the traffic through the next 2 roundabouts was terrible!
This was the 4th of 6 caches found on this trip.
Thanks [Blue]TheWonderStuff[/Blue], for showing us this place.

Had had my eye on this for a while, but always presumed it too far out of town. We found ourselves there today and spotted the peculiarity promptly.
Log is damp.

Was surprising muggle free and the road was nice and quiet. This did not mean I found it quickly, was just about to give up when aha I see it! Clever hide. TFTC!
It was trying to rain and the road was quieter then normal.
So a good time to find this cache
Thank you for the hide 'TheWonderStuff'

Lots of traffic driving by but a quick fake phone call and we soon had the cache in hand. Luckily I had found a similar one in Perth otherwise it would have taken me hours. Found with Egg Zachary, Mr Showcase and the geo-kids. TFTC Wonderstuff

We were staying nearby and I decided to go out for an early morning wander. It was about 6.30am and the muggles were mostly asleep.
I found the likely spot and soon the cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache TheWonderStuff. Nice one. Cheers!!

A very crafty hide. Did this one at night as the site is well lit in this location. Log is dry and in good condition.

Not our lucky day. Not sure if we were in the right spot but it felt a bit like trespassing so we gave up.
Up for the weekend from the Gold Coast and thought we would grab a few caches while we had spare time nice quick find TFTC

After my first unsuccessful scout during a busy time I returned with determination on a weekend to grab and go. I slid past and dropped off an overdue video to the store across the road with the cache in hand. Signed sealed re delivered cache- done, no overdue fees either, it's been a goood day. Cool hide.
This was my second attempt at this one. The First time my phone and GPS died just as I parked the car near by so I had a quick look but could not find it. Not sure how I missed it the first time cause as soon as I walked towards ground zero I put my hands straight on the cache. Had to wait for a couple of muggles to work by but I quickly signed the log after they past and replaced cache as found. TFTC.
out on a play date with IolantheK
car stops and i am told ... quick easy one just here for you
sure was ... geo-husband has one

A night time find after a visit to the nearby ice creamery. Clever camo! Thanks for the cache. Andrew, Maryan and Lucy
I had a nice little walk in the downtown and after that I wanted to search a couple of caches. This was near my hostel so I decided to search it. I found the eye in the sky but it took a little while to find the cache becouse of one muggler. When he finally left it was possible to start to search and I liked it when I found it! I just love this kind of caches! One of my favorites. Tftc and greetings from Finland!
After having such a great caching day, on the Sunshine Coast yesterday, we decided to head back up north for another crack at the caches on offer around the Sunshine Coast area. We got off to another late start but hey, we still somehow managed to notch up another 32 smilies on the map. This was #9 for the day!
This is find #1307 for us.
Using the in-car GPS we moved in towards GZ. Found a parking spot not too far away & wandered towards where we were pretty sure the cache was going to be. As we approached (& having found several of these before) we could clearly see where the log would be hiding. Despite this we still enjoyed the cache & the hunt & this hide is one of Geo-mum's favourite type.
Extracted & signed the log before returning safely to it's hiding place.

Found at 1320.
A sneaky cache, this type had me stumped the first time I found one.
I replaced the ziplock bag and logsheet as it was a soggy mess.
