As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep 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 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will 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'm 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 30 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

No cache.

Maintenance or archiving I think

Adding a note here to say I looked hi and lo but no sign of a cache container. I had previously found this one and thought I could help another cacher find it but our efforts were in vain. There has been a lot of water here in recent times. Also a lot of rubbish on the side of the big tree makes me think cache has been washed away.

Suspect that the floods earlier in the year have been through and washed this one away. The ground was still really really wet. Had a good look but was unable to find it.

No luck here. There has been a bit of water through here so maybe it has gone swimming.

very nice and fun cache TFTC Found with The Hair Bear

Quick assessment of how to access this one, according to the logs it hasn't been found for a while so we we're a bit concerned until an idea came to mind and the cache was soon in hand Found with JJBoards - TFTC!

# 461 Another long week and I was looking forwar to getting out of there and blowing off some steam. No work this weekend either so I should be able to rack up some numbers. Have plans to get out and about and collect some of the more tricky caches in the area as well.

An interesting walk behind apartments to a quirky little park. Still have no idea what the title or hint were refering to, but it was late and very dark so maybe I missed something. Maybe things have changed in the 5 years between when it was placed and me finding it.

I wasn't aiming on doing this cache or any caches today I just some how found myself checking what was in the area while I had to pick up a part from the wreckers.
This won looked interesting and I did have a few minutes so why not.
It was a beautiful walk to GZ, the sun was shining the birds were singing.
I soon had the cache in hand and managed to score a tb!
It was a bit muddy getting to GZ but worth it.
Tftc

For us, unfamiliar with the area, it was more a search for
access than search for the cache. Some unsuccessful approaches
with dead ends before being on the right track. Very sneaky.
TFTH. Signed log.

Found this one out whilst walking geomutt & with kids struggling with GPSr that doesn't have a magnetic compass but we got there in the end. TFTC.

Dropped of TB. Left some more swaps.

Although we approached this GC via wrong way first, no problem to find it. Nice walk and GC in good condition. TNLNSL, TFTC Turbodine.

With the children over on Stradie for the day we,Geo Mum and I (GeoDad) were free to have a day of caching caching caching.

We decided to concentrate on this area so we could try for a good number of smileys.

We had a fair bit of trouble deciding whre to approach this from surfice to say that shortest is not always best.

After a slight incorrect deviation we found the prize quickly but were disappointed to see that both the Trackable and the GeoCoin seem to be missing.

Thanks trudodine TFTC TNLS SL

Been meaning to check this one out since shadowassassin found it, and with time to spare on the way home from work dropped by. TFTC. Took nothing and left a rubber cockroach. Loved that the cache had many elastica products.

I'm just slowly making my way south for a week-end out on the bike. The second day on the bike for me down the coast.

Why didn't I find this last time...well it would help if I entered the right co-ords into the GPSr. I was miles away last time.

With a new GPSr I soon found this cache. The scrap bit of paper that is a log book was wet. So I added a new log book in a zip bag to this cache.

Geokids found this one. TFTC

No luck for me here.

I was not sure which side of the fence it was on so I climbed over and checked both. No luck on that side either.

found today with old man derf, after his excitment of his tb coming home
dropped off DNF geocion

Recovered my TB to send it way west on a holiday to vist bald derf and jr derf.did this cache with shaggy derf.

TFTC. No sign of the travel bug though. So, we left the cheetah travel bug #mqt3vq.

Nice easy find...once you can find the entrance to the park.

This one was the most challenging hide for us today. It got already dark and and we could not find access to the area. After a bit of driving around me and my geowife found it. TFTC

I had a look for this one quite awhile ago and with little time available was unable to find the entrance to this one today we had plenty of time and the cache was soon to hand SL TFTC

Lovely walk this morning had fun TFTC

No log book left paper thanks

Found the right way in after a false start and got to GZ. Cache was quickly found. As mentioned previously, log book needs replacing. TFTC turdodine

I had some trouble finding the track but then was fairly easy going. Found after a bit of searching. Couldn't understand hint at all - prehaps hint item has gone. Little piece of paper for log also very wet. NEEDS NEW LOG AND PLASTIC BAG. TFTC

nice cache met up with turdodine well hidden very fun [ ]

The water has receeded and GZ is easily accessible. The log however is ruined, so left a small piece of paper instead. Thanks for the cache.

AN EASY FIND AFTER DECIDING ON THE LEAST WET COURSE TO RETRIEVE THIS CACHE
AT LEAST THE SUN WAS SHINING TODAY
LOG BOOK VERY WET
HOPEFULLY OUR STICKER WILL STAY ATTACHED TO PAGE
LOVELY WALK TO THIS CACHE FROM CLEAN AND GREEN CACHE
MERRY XMAS AND A GREAT CACHING 2011

Thanks for the cache.

Found this afternoon with Hugo07.
The logbook is wet.

Took a while to figure out where to access the pathway to this one. Pleasant stroll on the pathway. GZ is basically an Island currently so shoes got a bit muddy retrieving this one. Quick find once there. TFTC

Found. Took nothing left nothing as was unprepared. No trackables. Tftc!

This was cache # 15 of 24 for the day, on a great day out caching around the Gold Coast. I was glad I read a few logs prior to this one as the suggestion of starting at the BP worked for me, I did this one under the cover of my umbrella as the sky decide it wanted to rain. My thanks to turdodine for the cache.

man there was a very big spider on the box i found not happy i throw it dawn and ran my man had to go and get it geeeeee i hate spiders but TFTC

Enjoyed the quiet stroll along the path. Managed to dodge the mud to find the cache. TFTC

Parked behind the big bong and was confronted by a wire fence ...... GPS indicating the stash was only a short distance ...... luckily a man came out of the rear of the building opposite the big bong and when asked how to access the park he told me to go to BP garage and the path led from there ...... sorry I forgot to write down the co-ord of the garage but it is easy to find as it is at the end of the complex ..[D].... an easy walk and the cache was mine ...... stamped book, but as others have stated, it is saturated, and urgently needs replacing ...... contents also could do with upgrading
Nice location

TNLNSL

TFTC ...[^]... turdodine

Lots of bird life round here, plus a sneaky muggle smoking something you can't buy from the local shop.
Log book very wet - needs attention. TFTC

Found and logged for maintenance due to soggy log book.

TNLN.

Log booked is soaked through and needs replacing. Would say I signed it, but it was more like engraved.

My second wet Gblock for the day.....TFTC turdoine

Needs some TLC as the log is very wet, the seal may need a cleanup to do its job better!

Log was very wet today....

Dried out log bag - but think log will go mouldy soon w/out some TLC

A bit soggy but found eventually. [8]



SL TNLN TFTC

Found today (16:29) while out with Ally-Searching (geo-daughter)...

Nice walk around the park to this one after GPS tried to take us through the nearby retirement community....

Plenty of muggles in general area but actual cache vicinity muggle free making for easy cache retrieval.....

Log was very wet - was in base of cache container ..

Dried out log bag but couldn't do much re drying log unfortunately due to time issues

TNLNSL

Thanks to turdodine for the cache

That one was an easy find today.
Thanks for showing that place!
Thanks for the cache. TNLN.

I enjoyed this cache. Thanks for bringing me here. TTFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1155. Tried several approaches before we took the right one. Some lovely real estate around here. Our thanks again to turdodine.

Found this one fairly easily. Needs some love as it is soaking wet.
Took coin but the TB is missing. All that remains is its goal sheet and bag.
Thanks for the cache.

Half the fun was finding the best approach. Nice area for this one. Unfortunately its a tad damp after the rain (log book included). Cleaned it out as much as possible but some items will need drying. TFTC!

TFTC. Nice Sunday arvo walk. (only a bit of rain)

No sign of the "Globetrotter TB".... I think it is long gone.

I left "Never Board" tiny trackable snowboard.

Found this one, TB not sighted. TFTC

Was nearby here today so swung in - with the sudden downpour a little earlier the water was flowing - should I..... well no real hard decision really TFTC

I enjoyed this little hunt.. although my first access point was blocked by an eight foot fence

Having found another access point, it was a bit of a walk, and it was quite a good place to walk, so I am not complaining


Thanks Turdodine.

Well this one was an adventure/nightmare. Note the following:
1) If you are running to this from Nerang, there are NO shortcuts. You are better off following the road. Every street, path, and bush track runs into a river, very large fence, or private property. Trust me, I tried every single one of them.
2) Exactly as it appears on the map, the GZ is on the north side of the long stream - not between the stream and the fenced community on the south side as my GPS led me to initially believe.

I suffered for the art on this one!

Thanks for the cache.

Signed the log. Took nothing, left nothing, uttered a great deal of expletives.

wow ... lucky I found it with help from ALL7 otherwise I couldnt find which way to find it.
Thanks for this cache and hunting.
cheers

found it with geo friends thanks

Hmmm! What's going on. Visited this cache today and enjoyed the hunt and the hint led me to the cache. Thanks. No muggles. Cache well hidden. Rehid. Took a Geocoin that is supposed to be in Fill Up down in Surfers apparently. The two TB's that are supposed to be in this cache are not there. Where are they? Maybe in Fill Up?? Left: Nail Brush and a box of chalk. SL. TFTC.

Another find while holidaying up this way. T: TB
TFTC

Found It, nice hide!!
Took Green Car, left Smiley, What the heck TB & German TB

TFTC

Found at 1040 hrs at last. Had been at the spot before but now with trusty iPhone I was spot on. Traded in old yellow car for nice new green VW.Spider got out of my way. Thanks to GPS-RNAV for nice new log. Covered cache with leaves. Clever cache and clever clue.

Have looked for this one several times. GPS working now. Play had to stop when light went. Will be back.

In Surfers for Tech.ED so had to do some caches. I initially drove around in circles for a good log way before finding a way in. I ended up at the Billabobg shop, having spent most of my youth surfing this was heaven as surf is in short supply where live.
The cache was retrieved easily enough.

Found this today. Took a while to find as co-ordinates kept walking us in circles!! kept going back to same place and eventually found it!! Good hide and well hidden. Took badge and left an Aussie Koala fan!! TFTC!!!

[Found GBlock III bloody big bong tonight just as it was getting dark. We were driving around madly to try to find access to the area before it got too dark to trek about and hunt for the cache.] Access was gained by us by turning into Bosun's Landing, just west of the shopping area most people seem to use to try to find access. Then turn left again and look for a pathway through between the houses to the 'park' beyond. [Clue was very clever and helpful. If we'd arrived 10 minutes later it would have been too dark. Saw no Globe Trotter TB. Sure hope it turns up. Too many people seem to forget to log the TB's. It's a shame so many go missing. TFTC turdodine. Took nothing. Left a large lizard and a car.]

Just a short question: has anybody seen the travelbug Globetrotter in this cache ? I'm asking just for interest, because I've had this TB a long time ago in my hands, and it travelled more than 20000 km !
Thanks for the info !

Amaze find and nice area park...

Replaced saturated log......trying to dry out and recover the origional (doesn't look too promising) - GPS-RNAV

Found with WaldenClan. Couldn't sign log as it was too wet. I'm a bit late logging this.
Thx GPS-RNAV for replacing the log.

16.21 Found after too much time driving around. We parked and read previous logs and found parking co-ord in a previous log. Once we got there we could find anywhere to park. There were a huge amount of cars in this tiny street. Finally got in and found the cache. The log is seriously wet. I had no spares today. Tried to sign the log but mainly left an imprint.

TFTC

Found it! It took a bit of driving around before I worked out how to get to GZ without jumping fences. Found the cache easily enough but the thing is dripping wet. This one needs some loving. TFTC
suzukifreak_1

Lucky I was on the MTB and rode around from Gblock V Tranquility (discovering new paths and bridges in the process!) as it would be a challenge initially to find GZ if I had driven. Took me a while and wasted a lot of time on a fallen tree....just about to give up and go to VII Eagle and there it was! The spider had hibernated for the winter!

Let me know if you want me to drop a new log in (I live close) as this one is soaked....might dry out nicely in the sun for posterity?

TNLN and couldn't SL! TFC

A day caching with Smeeagain .It was wet and a long walk and to top it off I remove the cache only to see the biggest huntsman spider hanging off it oh and the log is so wet it is of no use at all
TFTC TNLN SL

Book still wet, sorry didn't have a replacement. General area wet as have had lots of rain recently. TFTC TNLN

Found it after an unexpected detour through the shops. Took a while to figure out where to park.

Log Book soaked and pencil going mouldy.

Took me half hour to find the right access to ground zero, once at GZ found the cache straight away, It was very wet. Log book soaked. Just managed to sign the logbook. Sorry I did not have a replacement logbook. TFTC TNLN

Found this one no problems after I figured out how to get there. Spent bit of time driving around Industrial Estate. Best approached from Ashmore road side. Bring your puppy for a walk in the leash free area. Log still soaked. Wish I'd read the logs first. could have brought a new log as old one is Still soaked. TFTC

Tried to find this one 2 nights ago and gave up in the dark . Found it in full daylight today. The clue is helpful in the daytime but not so good at night with a poor light! The cache is still in major need of repairs and maintenance. The log book is soaked through and there is a pack of guiness playing cards in there that are also soaked. I signed the log carefully and tipped out some water. It is a weird little park which would be hard to find if you weren't geocaching. I parked the car at S 27 59.313 E 153 21.538 which made the walk in as short as possible.

Thanks for the cache.

Nice location, a bit wet and boggie around the general location.

Cache needs some major attention, the log and everything in the box in really wet

Found eventually after starting from the wrong side of the river.The TB is not here - pity. Notebook needs drying out.

OUT: none
IN: cupid, cow

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Cache came to hand quickly. The Logbook is still wet and I was unable to sign it. TNLN. Thanks again Turdodine

Cache contents very damp, we put logbook into a sealed bag. TNLNSL TFTC

Over visiting the children on the Gold Coast. Man it gets hot over here. Not at all like home and it sure can rain, thunder and lightning.
On the way back to the airport !
Took abit to find a way in but then it was all good. Odd place.
Thanks for the cache
Cheers Tramper Ted

Took some tracking down, but found it in the end.
Cache was a bit damp, could probably do with some tlc!
No swap took. TFTC

Yeah i dont get the bong reference either and i smoked the grass for several years couldnt find way in thru pub but did find a sidestreet with a council accessway. Good fun not much too see tho and as Fiona said smelt like the monkey enclosures at a zoo.

Interesting!!! TFTC

Didn't see any Bongs around or Rubber things for that matter, Not sure of the meaning here. Water was really dirty after recent rain. Probably a nice little spot on the right day. TFTC

Parked the car. Thought we could get closer. Drove around and found we could not. Drove back to the original position. Parked the car, walked 500m to find we were 170m from it and the access was cut off by construction work. Seemed like a private property. So circled it again and came in from a different location. Walked 500m to it and found it ok. Looked to where the construction was and saw it was the normal path for public use. Arhhhhhh. Just looked like at the time the place not to go walking through.

Nice hide. Not sure what the bong connection is about!
Coords spot on.
TFTC. Took weird Space Cowboy TB.

Discovered it during our Australia cache ride:-)

My first cache in Australia/ TFTC. Igracek, Czech republic.

Our first cache in Australia! Thanks. In - TB. Out - /.

Should have looked for clear water rather than going past the shops...Quick find. TFTC

A straightforward find in a not particularly exciting location. TFTC
